Chapter 23

"What did you dream about me?" Lu Wanqing asked subconsciously.

Chunsheng took a look at Lu Wanqing, and there was an exquisite heart under the honest and simple appearance, "No, it's nothing."

The two of them had come down the mountain while they were talking, and the official road would be another slope through the woods.Lu Wanqing stopped, and said solemnly to Chunsheng, "Thank you."

Chunsheng looked at Lu Wanqing, and saw that the opponent's small and almost thin body reached up to his shoulders, and he could wrap his arms around him.But such a girl dared to cross the mountains and ridges alone, dared to pass through the haunted house, and even took the whole village to get rid of the dirty things there. The other party was not an ordinary person. "will you come back?"

"return?"

Chunsheng explained with some embarrassment: "Oh, I mean, will you still pass by our village?"

Lu Wanqing had a certain understanding of her own life from the moment she ran away from marriage. It was impossible for her to be imprisoned in one place until she died. Absolute control of life.It's just that no one can tell about fate. Five days ago, she never thought that she would come to such a small mountain village that was almost isolated from the world, and even she never thought that she would take in a ghost. Everything is unknown , so he said, "Maybe."

……

Although it is an official road, it is located in a remote place. Lu Wanqing walked for a long time before seeing people, and they all seemed to come and go in a hurry.Calculating the time, it was at least the beginning of Shen Shi, and there were still at least ten miles before arriving at the Guanshan post, so he quickened his pace and finally arrived at the post at the end of Shen Shi.

The post station is a small yard built on a vacant lot next to the official road. There are seven or eight rooms in the main house and side rooms on both sides. The paint is mottled, and it looks old and dilapidated.

The steward of the inn was an old man in a short blue coat, with his back bent, holding a candle to look at Lu Wanqing up and down, "Accommodation?"

Lu Wanqing nodded yes, and the old man said: "A one-hundred-cent night stay, not including food and drink." After speaking, he didn't mean to let Lu Wanqing in. I dare to pay the money first. Lu Wanqing thought that this post station is so expensive, but no The way, there is no way to go to the village and no shop behind, the mountains and fields are so strange, she is lucky in Shangliang Village and has no way, she is very self-aware of her situation, it's not that pig feet don't have to worry about when they will die, but a The cannon fodder female supporting role who always has to worry about her own life.Still giving up the money to ward off the disaster, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the other party. After the old man inspected it, he led Lu Wanqing into a room on the left.

Pushing open the door, a musty smell came straight into his nostrils, Lu Wanqing couldn't help stepping away, frowning slightly.The old man ignored it, went straight in, lit the candlestick inside, "Okay, you can rest by yourself." After speaking, he left slowly.

Lu Wanqing: "Old man, is there any hot water?"

The old man said without turning his head, "There is no hot water. If there is cold water, go to the backyard to fetch it."

After working for nearly an hour, Lu Wanqing finally tidied up the room for people to live in. With the water she brought, she ate two pancakes, checked whether the doors and windows were closed, then turned off the lights and went back to bed to sit up.

It might be because she was too tired from running all day, but within a few minutes, Lu Wanqing entered a state of tranquility.The zhenqi gathered in the body was like water mist, absorbed by the muscles and bones of the whole body, and she felt that those tired muscles were absorbing the zhenqi fiercely like a thirsty person encountering clear spring water.This state lasted for more than an hour before she gradually calmed down, and she had less than one-third of her true energy left after practicing for several months.

As the soul came out of her body, Lu Wanqing lightened her body, looked down, and saw that she was sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a quiet and peaceful expression.Her out of body main reason is to look at the bracelets inside the box, because in the state of her body, she still can't see through these yin objects.

The box moved slightly, and after a while, a ghost came out slowly. Lu Wanqing, who was originally hiding behind the bed, flew over and grabbed the other party.Ghost Shadow was much weaker than last time. Although he recovered inside for a few days, he didn't have any other soul assistance, so the effect was not great. He came out this time just to find the next prey, but he didn't expect to be caught by Lu Wanqing who had prepared early. with.

This time Lu Wanqing became murderous, and the body sensed the soul's will, and the true energy in the dantian seemed to have a spiritual connection with the soul.Lu Wanqing felt blessed to his heart, and with a movement of his mind, a ray of true energy gathered in the palm of his hand...

The ghost suddenly let out a shrill cry, and his figure became lighter and limp.Naturally, Lu Wanqing would not let go easily, "Who are you? Why did you kill so many people?"

Ghosting knew that he had hit a nail and couldn't handle it perfunctorily, so he told the whole story in detail.

It turned out that the ghost was really the owner of the thatched cottage, also surnamed Tu, who lived there alone with his wife. One day, a guest came to the house. The person was about 30 years old. He was wearing an eel silk robe. people.Originally it was enough for the man to spend the night and leave peacefully, but something unexpected happened. The man died strangely that night, and the two elders were in a panic. The place is remote, and it takes a day and a night to get to the nearest government office. When asked whether the person died in their home, it was impossible to tell.At the right time, the two of them looked at the man's package, and there were nearly dozens of taels of silver in it, and their hearts were moved immediately.

When the two of them made up their minds, they buried the man in the vegetable field next to him. However, something strange happened that night. The two of them heard a noisy sound coming from the courtyard. The long-robed man stood among them impressively. While the two looked at each other, the other suddenly turned back to look at them with a gloomy look.The two of them were frightened to death.

When they woke up the next day, they hid the money and the black box in the well.As soon as it was placed, both of them fell into the well, and their souls were absorbed into the black box and imprisoned...

Lu Wanqing pondered for a moment after hearing this, it seems that all this is caused by this black box, it can absorb people's souls, it seems that it must be an ominous thing.But why is it okay to take it with me for so many days.

She looked at the ghost, although the other party was a victim, but later dragged so many innocent people back, and even wanted to find her, so she couldn't keep it!She then increased the zhenqi in her hands, directly burning Duo Fang to death, and it was really gone.

Lu Wanqing's soul returned to her body, sweating profusely, exhausted, and she slowly recovered after sitting quietly and adjusting her breath for more than an hour.

Lu Wanqing picked up the black bracelet carefully, and sank her hand, a coolness ran along her fingers, along her arms, and went straight into her body.Lu Wanqing instinctively wanted to resist the chill, and the true energy in her dantian seemed to have spirituality, wrapping up the chill and dissolving it in an instant.Lu Wanqing felt a moment of discomfort in his body, and immediately, the cold air turned into energy with the same attribute as his own true energy, and gathered together in the dantian. It was a blessing in disguise, and the inner alchemy of the dantian actually increased by one point, equivalent to ten days The effect of sitting quietly.

Lu Wanqing thought in her heart, "This practice is like money. Earning money is like picking soil with a needle and using money is like pushing sand with water. After practicing for several months, I didn't expect it to be exhausted overnight. It seems that I have to step up my practice in the future. Yes. However, this yin and cold air is good. Although it is a bit dangerous, and the body feels a little uncomfortable, it is much faster than usual cultivation. As for that weird bracelet that can gather yin qi, could it be a magic weapon used by cultivators? Ordinary people can't control it and are harmed by it?"

Lu Wanqing half-guessed that this bracelet is indeed a yin-gathering instrument, a magic weapon for soul cultivation, and it must be assisted by corresponding exercises, which can be used for soul cultivation.

Lu Wanqing played with the bracelet again, but found nothing, so she simply wrapped it in a cloth towel and put it in the underwear bag next to the jewelry.

Get up, wash up, pack your bags, say goodbye to the old man in charge of the post station and leave.

It was more than 50 miles from Guanshan Station to Xufeng City, which happened to be a day's journey alone. Lu Wanqing walked a little faster, and arrived at the gate of the city in the next half an hour.

Xufeng City is a bit different from the city that Lu Wanqing watched on TV in her previous life. Shops were built around the city, and there are a variety of goods.But you need to go to the city to stay in the hotel.

The streets in the city are paved with bluestone slabs, and the houses are built in an orderly manner. The overall layout is somewhat similar to an eight-diagram array. The central ones are naturally government offices, wealthy merchants, etc.

Accommodation in the city is slightly cheaper, divided into high and low grades, the upper room is [-] Wen a bowl, the common room is [-] Wen, and a breakfast and lunch are included.Lu Wanqing naturally picked up an ordinary room, which was poorly furnished, but much cleaner than the room in the station.Lu Wanqing had nothing to do when he came, and he was a little tired, so he wanted to go to bed early and practice breathing. Hearing the sound of bangbang gongs from the street, a loud voice shouted: "Every household should keep the doors and windows well. Take care of the doors and windows..."

There was a brief noise on the street and then it calmed down. Lu Wanqing thought, it's only about seven o'clock in the evening, so why is the government going to clear the city?Could something have happened?
Thinking about it this way, just as the buddy brought him hot water, Lu Wanqing asked, "Brother, why did you close the door so early?"

The guy is a young man under 20 years old, a little thin, but he is fresh and bright, and he replied with a smile: "Girl, you just came to the city. Recently, a flower picker appeared in the city. I heard that there are girls from several families It was ruined... The government searched for a period of time without any results, but three days ago, even the daughter of the lord of the government office was ruined. We need to clear the city and search."

Lu Wanqing could clearly tell from the other party's tone that she was gloating at the fact that Mrs. Fuya's girl was ruined, but she didn't point it out.

The clerk continued: "The yamen has released the list, saying that if someone reports the truth or catches the flower picker with his own hands, the government will reward him with a heavy reward. It seems to be 50 taels of silver."
