Traveling to Xianwu

Chapter 561
Before Mei Ouchang opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanwai told the whole story. It turned out that Mei Ouchang was a poor scholar three years ago. One night, he and his classmates got drunk and happened to pass by Baliupo At the cemetery, he fell asleep overwhelmed with alcohol.

Zhu Yuanwai's daughter saw that Mei Ouchang was pitiful, so she couldn't help being moved with compassion, and she appeared to take care of him in person. After Mei Ouchang woke up, she saw a woman taking care of her, so she couldn't help complaining. It turned out that he was a classmate As a senior high school graduate, Mei Ou wanted to borrow some rice.As a result, even though that classmate received him and kept him for dinner, he also taunted him at the wine table. He felt depressed, so he got drunk.

Hearing the complaints of the head of the plum lotus, Zhu Yuanwai's daughter couldn't bear it, and often took some silver to go to the head of the plum lotus in the middle of the night when everyone was quiet. Changjin, intending to go to Fucheng to take the Juren examination.As a result, when I arrived in Fucheng, I found out that corrupt officials are rampant now, and if there is no money to dredge the examiners, they will never be selected.

There is no way, Mei Ouchang begged Zhu Yuanwai's daughter again, this matter was later known to Zhu Yuanwai, Zhu Yuanwai agreed to contribute, but asked Mei Ouchang to marry his daughter, and explained in advance that his daughter was a ghost.Chief Mei Ou didn't want to agree at first, but when he heard that Zhu Yuanwai was willing to pay him a thousand taels of money to clear up his relationship and buy a real estate, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Mei Ou grows, is what Zhu Yuanwai said right?" Shen Chengping looked at Mei Ou Chang, only to hear the other party grit his teeth and say: "That's right, but I agreed at the time in a moment of confusion. Now that I think about it, people Ghost Shutu is doomed to end badly, how can I marry a ghost wife as a person in the world, and I ask you to make the decision for me!"

As the saying goes, rich people change wives, expensive people change friends.Mei Ouchang is already a Juren at this time, and can receive all kinds of preferential treatment from the court. Even if he fails to win the Jinshi, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.How could he be willing to marry Zhu Yuanwai's daughter.

"Mei Ouchang, since you know that people and ghosts have different paths, why did you agree?" Shen Chengping kept his face calm, and asked again: "Let me ask you, if you don't have Zhu Yuanwai's money, you might get it In addition, what do you plan to do with the real estate that Zhu Yuanwai bought for you in Fucheng? If you want to ruin your relationship, these things..."

"My lord!" Mei Ou gritted her teeth and said, "I used 1000 taels in total. I'll write down an IOU and pay back the principal with interest, right?"

"Hmph!" Shen Chengping snorted coldly, looked at the dark-faced Zhu Yuanwai, and said, "In your heart, I'm afraid you just owe Zhu Yuanwai 1000 taels. But I think that without the 1000 taels, you are still the same Poor scholar who can’t afford to eat! Now it’s not impossible for you to destroy your relatives. I will give you the honor of raising people, and if you return the family wealth intact, I can decide to let you get together and leave. Afterwards, Zhu Yuanwai will not dare to pester you again."

"Ah, this..." Mei Ouchang's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he was stunned.Originally, his plan was to return the money he had spent, and at most it would take a few years of hard work.At that time, with his identity as a raiser, he will not worry about not having a family business.But if you want to regret the marriage, you have to lose your fame and hand over all your family property, which is really terrible.

Looking at Mei Ouchang's face, Shen Chengping asked directly: "If you can agree to such a condition, now I will take you back to the sun. Let me ask you one last time, do you want to destroy the relationship?"

"Don't ruin it, don't ruin it, why don't I marry you!" Mei Ouchang shook her head again and again, as the saying goes, it is difficult to change from extravagance to simplicity, especially for someone who has experienced poverty and masturbation, without the fame and wealth of others, Didn't he become that poor scholar again, the Mei Ouchang who enjoyed a rich life for a year, but he no longer wants to be his former self.

"Father!" At this moment, a young girl in a wedding gown walked out of the room, walked to the front and shouted: "Father, let him go, I don't want to marry anymore!"

Hearing this, all the ghosts in the courtyard were in an uproar.Zhu Yuanwai pointed at his daughter who came out with a dark face, and said angrily: "Nonsense, how can you do it if you don't marry! Your wedding invitations have been sent out, and now the whole village, young and old, and friends from all over the place are watching. Where is the face of marrying my Zhu family!"

"Father, Mei Lang said that he would love me no matter if I was a human or a ghost, but now he looks like this!" The girl held a handkerchief, her voice full of sadness: "His heart is not here anymore. , What's the use of keeping him, after that it's just a different dream in the same bed!"

Hearing the girl's words, Mei Ouchang had a look of guilt on his face, but also uncontrollable joy, but Zhu Yuanwai stared blankly at the wine table in front of him, and suddenly raised his big hand upwards, overturning the wine table to the ground, Tianchang sighed: "Forget it, it really is a different way for humans and ghosts!" After speaking, Zhu Yuanwai sent the plum lotus root to the world in despair.

"My lord, this was originally a day of great joy, but I didn't expect to make my lord laugh at me today!" After the guests dispersed, Zhu Yuanwai took his daughter and apologized to Shen Chengping.

"You don't need to say any more!" Shen Chengping waved his hands and said: "This matter is not your fault, and your daughter's strong temper is admirable. Very good, I will leave this formula to you father and daughter!"

After Shen Chengping finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper. On it was a formula with hundreds of words. It was just a simple method of absorbing Yin Qi for cultivation. But it was a rare treasure, so after he saw this formula, his original depressed and angry mood was swept away, and he trembled a little when he spoke excitedly.

"Sir, this..."

"Okay, since I gave it to you, you can keep it. This is also my reward for you for being able to persevere and not harm others over the years." Shen Chengping said: "I often walk in the world, but I still have some Let me ask you something, how much do you know about the Montenegrin old demon?"

"This... Your Excellency is talking about Master Heishan from the City of Death?" Member Zhu was stunned for a moment, and after Shen Chengping nodded, he asked, "But I don't know why Your Excellency inquired about this Master Heishan?"

Shen Chengping smiled and said: "I was appointed by the City God, and not long after I became an inspector, when I heard the name of the old Heishan demon, even the Lord Chenghuang seemed to be afraid, so I was a little curious, so I wanted to ask the old Heishan demon information." Of course, Shen Chengping couldn't tell the truth, he wiped out the clone of the old Heishan demon in Lanruo Temple, the enmity between the two sides has been settled, and Shen Chengping also wants to know more about the situation of the old Heishan demon.Of course, it was impossible for him to tell Yuanwai Zhu the reason for this.

Zhu Yuanwai thought for a while and said: "Our Baliupo is too far away from Master Heishan's City of Death, so most of the news we got is hearsay. If you don't mind, I will tell you what I have heard!"
