Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 124 The picture is too beautiful
"Master, Lu Bo said that there is a scholar looking for you outside the door, saying that he is your friend, Master."

While Li Xiuyuan was practicing calligraphy in the study, Du Chunhua walked in softly and said in a low voice.

"A scholar looking for me? Which scholar?" Li Xiuyuan put down the ink pen in his hand and asked curiously.

Du Chunhua said, "It's a scholar named Zhu Yu."

"It's him?" Li Xiuyuan frowned immediately.

This Zhu Yu was indeed friendly with him again, and he met him when he came to the city to cross the river that day.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Understood, go ask Zhu Yu to wait for me in the lobby, I'll be there soon."

Since others come to visit you, you have to meet them, even if it is only a one-time relationship, even if you have a shallow friendship. This is the way of hospitality, which is especially important in this era.

When Li Xiuyuan came to the lobby, he saw a haggard, thin, and pale scholar who was coughing lightly while sipping tea while sitting on a chair. He looked as if he had been ill for a long time. God is gone.

"Brother Zhu, I haven't seen you in just five or six days, how come you have become so haggard." Li Xiuyuan took a look, and suddenly said in surprise.

With such a complexion, if he hadn't been able to move after seeing him, he would have suspected that Zhu Yu was already a corpse.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's vigorous figure and striding forward, Zhu Yu couldn't help showing a bit of envy. He hurriedly propped himself up, stood up and cupped his hands, and said without tears, "Brother Li, please save me, otherwise this will continue like this." My destiny is near."

After speaking, he bowed deeply again, but because he was too thin, he almost fell to the ground even when he bent down to bow.

"What the hell happened?"

Li Xiuyuan took a quick step, supported him, and let him sit down.

Zhu Yu sighed and said, "I regret that I didn't listen to what Brother Li said. Didn't our group capsize the boat that day, and we went back together at night?"

"Yes, there is such a thing." Li Xiuyuan nodded. :
Zhu Yu said: "But before entering the city, I came across a market. I don't know if Brother Li still remembers it."

"I have the impression that the market appeared in the wilderness. I thought it was weird. I suspected it was a ghost market, so I didn't go there, and I advised you not to go. What's wrong? Brother Zhu, you have fallen into evil." Li Xiuyuan asked. .

Zhu Yu smiled wryly and said: "Brother Li, you really hit the spot. It's not a night market there, it's really a ghost market. I didn't realize it at first, but when I got there, I became suspicious and asked the people in the city to ask about it." What do you think, Brother Li? There is no night market there at all. The place used to be a mass grave, and the older generation in the city knew it. It’s ridiculous that we always thought it was a night market. Confused."

"Now that you know it, just don't go there from now on." Li Xiuyuan said.

He also guessed that Zhu Yu had encountered a ghost, but it's good to have this lesson, and he can have a better memory in the future.

"Brother Li is right. I did not go to the ghost market yesterday, but but." Zhu Yu's eyes flickered, and he was a little embarrassed to speak.

"But what? Do you still want to hide it from me now?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Tell me the truth, brother Li. When I entered the ghost market on the first day, my brothers and I were bewitched by the female ghost.**." Zhu Yu's pale face turned red when he said this.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, "I can see that you have chest tightness, shortness of breath, sloppy steps, and pale face. This is a sign that you have lost too much energy and yang energy. However, you can't blame the female ghost for confusing you. The ghost is gluttonous." It is normal for people to have yang energy, but if you can abide by yourselves and not be tempted by the female ghost, the female ghost will not let you lose your energy and yang energy."

"Since Zhu brother, you already know that the woman you meet every night is a female ghost, then from today onwards, you should avoid her, stop seeing her, and then slowly recuperate your body, so that you can take this exam well." yes."

"Why don't I think so."

Zhu Yu sighed again and said, "It's not that I can't make up my mind, it's that I've been entangled by that female ghost. I didn't go to that ghost market last night, but I did something when I fell asleep at night. wild dream"

Speaking of this, he was ashamed again, and then he looked at Li Xiuyuan with hope and said: "Brother Li, please save me. Wang Ping said that Brother Li, you have the ability to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, so today I have the cheek to return you." Brother Li, please save me from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Look at this, the female ghost has become addicted to absorbing your essence and yang energy. She doesn't intend to let you go. If you avoid it, the female ghost will still come to you." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Brother Li, do you want me to hide in the temple for a while and come back when the exam starts?" Zhu Yu said, "I heard that there is a very famous Lanruo Temple more than ten miles away from this city. I'll go there Is it useful to hide?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "Hiding is not an option. Since you came to visit and asked me for help, how could I do nothing? You don't have to go to Lanruo Temple. You can stay overnight at my house tonight and see that girl Whether the ghost will appear or not, if it does, I will help you persuade that female ghost."

"Thank you, Brother Li." Zhu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and then hurriedly got up to thank him.

"You're welcome. There is a Buddhist saying that saving one's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Human life is a matter of heaven and earth. How could I refuse?" Li Xiuyuan said.

After arranging for Zhu Yu to return to the guest room, he couldn't help laughing again.

This Zhu Yu was quite clever, and after waking up, he knew to ask for help. If he went to someone else, it would take a while, and he was afraid that he would have been killed by that female ghost.

As for Wang Ping, he was lucky. He saw and killed the painted skin monster before, so he chose to believe in the existence of his own ghost market and didn't go to the market.

Otherwise, the end is probably not much better than that of Zhu Yu.

"I don't know what happened to the other scholars who were in the same company? It should have just lost some energy, yang energy. But then again, the female ghost who pestered Zhu Yu killed a person in just five or six days. It's a bit too much to make it like this." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.

Generally speaking, female ghosts entangle scholars because they intend to absorb yang energy, and they do so slowly, and it takes a month or half a month to see it.

But right now, the female ghost that Zhu Yu met was different, her methods were much more ruthless, and she almost sucked people dry in just a few days.

Before I knew it, it was already dark.

Zhu Yu, who was sleeping in the guest room, fell asleep on the bed not long after being too tired these days.

But falling asleep, a gust of dark wind suddenly blew from outside the door, the door that had been bolted up immediately fell down with a snap, and the door was blown directly by a gust of dark wind.

"Woooo~!"

When the dark wind blew, the door of the room swung and made a sound, and then the dark wind blew towards Zhu Yu who was on the bed.

Zhu Yu, who was in a deep sleep, woke up immediately after being blown.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he suddenly saw a beautiful young woman in beautiful clothes appearing beside the bed.

"Ah~!"

Immediately, Zhu Yu was shocked, and immediately woke up from the fright, and hurriedly retreated tremblingly: "Don't come here, don't come here."

"Lang Jun is really ruthless. A few days ago, he was very affectionate with the slave family. Why did he see the slave family like this today, and he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it. People often say that a husband and wife are a hundred days of kindness. Instead of thinking of kindness, Mr. Wang started to hide. The slave family is gone, what did the slave family do wrong, please tell me straight up, can't the slave family change it?"

The beautiful young woman who appeared suddenly said with a resentful and pitiful look.

"You, you're a ghost, I'm a human, don't pester me anymore, can't I be wrong?" Zhu Yu's pale face turned even paler after being frightened.

"Since the lord doesn't say anything, the slave family has no choice but to continue serving the lord as an apology." The beautiful young woman began to unbutton her clothes as she spoke.

Now Zhu Yu wanted to die.

He liked this beautiful woman very much a few days ago, but in the past few days, even a tough man can't stand her pestering, otherwise he wouldn't immediately wake up, this woman is a ghost and not a human.

"You, don't look for my affection anymore, I really can't do it anymore, if this continues, I will die." Zhu Yu begged for mercy.

"That's even better. If the lord is dead, then the servant and the lord will be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, and then we can be together day and night." The beautiful young woman said happily, and walked to the couch after speaking.

At this moment, Zhu Yu was frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Li, brother Li, come and save me quickly, that female ghost is here again."

"Don't shout, sir, a spring night is worth a thousand gold." The beautiful young woman breathed lightly, and immediately the candles in the room were extinguished, and the door was also closed.

"Brother Li, where are you? If you don't show up, I will really die on the couch." Zhu Yu shouted.

"Haha, Brother Zhu, don't panic, isn't there a saying that it is good to die under the peony flower and be a ghost?"

When Li Xiuyuan heard his voice, he who was meditating and practicing Qi immediately laughed, and rushed over: "The female ghost who pestered you must be pretty, I think you can talk to her to see if she is willing to marry you, If she agrees to you, just take advantage of the opportunity and marry a ghost wife, and she will be ashamed to harm you if she becomes your wife."

"Touch~!"

Stretching out his foot and kicking it, the tenant opened it, and when Li Xiuyuan saw the situation inside the house clearly, he froze again.

"Sorry, I take back what I said before. I didn't expect Brother Zhu to have such a unique taste. I thought it was a good-looking female ghost who was pestering you, but I didn't expect it to be a male ghost. This picture is so beautiful that I dare not Look."

He saw a male ghost clinging to Zhu Yu's side like a woman, as if flirting, it made him want to gag.

too frightening.

It was horrible.

"What, what, male ghost?" Zhu Yu was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at the pretty young woman next to her.

"Who are you, why do you see through my changes."

The beautiful young woman looked at Li Xiuyuan with her eyes wide open, her face full of incredulity, but her tone of voice this time was a rough man's voice.
