Night Lights

Chapter 20

Ghosts are suspicious by nature, so avoid being suspicious; when someone drowns, their ghost floats in the water, becoming a water ghost, wandering without sinking; looking for a substitute in the water, they hook their ankles, sink underwater, and use water plants to bind their souls; when someone is rescued ashore, Just shout: It's okay, it's okay!The water ghost was suspicious, and pushed away the water plants. The soul of the person who fell into the water escaped and returned to the body to return to the yang. The yin ghost kept crying and had to find another person. ——Excerpted from Tongyin Eight Volumes of "Wordless Book of Heaven".

"You don't know that you can get gold in the sandy land of Miaojiang, but you can't see the silver ornaments hanging on my body? When you come to Miaojiang, you will naturally have money!"

Lan Xin'er shook the shiny bracelet on her wrist, and then raised the silver pendant collar on her chest to show Bai Shibao, in order to prove that she was not just talking nonsense.

"This pair of silver pendants is quite beautiful..." Bai Shibao has sharp eyes, and silver is different from gold. The smaller and finer the more valuable, he looked at the shiny silver pendant hanging on Lan Xin'er's earlobe. It is full of gold and silver, and the weight is probably not light. I have worked so hard to accompany her to Miaojiang, so it shouldn't be too much to ask her for the pair of earrings, right?
"This?" Lan Xin'er touched her earlobe with her hands, she couldn't help but blushed, as if she was drunk again, and said shamelessly, "I won't change this silver pendant for any amount!"

Bai Shibao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "Beggars who beg for money and food will also ask for a price. If you can't even estimate the price, then it is worthless!"

Women in Miaojiang would have their ears pierced by their families since they were young, and then refine silver sand to cast a pair of silver pendants and hang them on the earlobes to show that they are unmarried. Take one and make a pair, which symbolizes the creation of heaven and earth. If one party dies, the other party will bury the silver in the soil, which is called life and death.

If there is a man who likes an unmarried woman, he will ask her for the price of the silver pendant, expressing his love for the unmarried woman and his intention to marry her.

Bai Shibao didn't know the customs of Miaojiang, what he wanted was to use the silver pendant as his reward, so that he could use the reward to buy some ghost money to burn for himself, and accumulate some money in the underworld.How did she know that Lan Xin'er took it seriously, blushing and looking at Bai Shibao shyly!
This made Bai Shibao at a loss for a while, and asked awkwardly: "If it's too expensive, I think you can just give me a big silver dollar. It can be used anywhere. It's neat, so I don't have to go to the pawn to exchange it. No trouble!"

"Qianqianqian, why are you so greedy for money?" Lan Xin'er thought that Bai Shibao was like a lump of wood, puzzled, so she frowned and said angrily.

"I... I'm saving money to marry a wife!" Bai Shibao couldn't tell her about saving money in the underworld.

"Can you marry a wife?" Lan Xin'er suddenly thought that Bai Shibao was a Taoist priest of the "Heaven Sect".

"I'm not a monk, why can't I?" Bai Shibao carefully recalled Zhang Blind Man's precepts and precepts, among which there was really no such thing as not being able to marry a wife.

After hearing this, Lan Xin'er seemed to have been licked with honey, the tip of her tongue and lips were sweet, she kept pursing her mouth, her face blushed, and she was very happy in her heart. It seemed that she was sincerely moved by Bai Shibao, thinking that Bai Shibao wanted to make money to marry her. , said shyly: "Cheng, I will give you this silver pendant when I arrive in Miaojiang!"

"Let's find your physical body first! After your three souls have returned to Yin for a long time, the seven souls will slowly dissipate in your body. At that time, your ghosts will return to your physical body. Although you have the three souls of energy, energy, and spirit, you don't have the energy of the seven souls. You've become a fool..." Bai Shibao pinched his index finger and middle finger with his thumb, and gestured in front of Lan Xin'er.

"Then what should I do? My body is probably still in the hands of my senior sister!" Lan Xin'er said anxiously after hearing this.

"What did your senior sister leave your body for?
"Hey Gu! People who refine poisonous Gu open coffins everywhere to search for corpses, and use the body of the dead to test Gu..."

"..." Bai Shibao opened his mouth wide.

"It's okay! When I go back, I'll use Ten Thousand Snake Gu to devour her, telling her to live or die!" Lan Xin'er said angrily.

Bai Shibao grinned and looked at Lan Xin'er, and said in his heart: Gu refiners are so ruthless, it's really against the law of heaven, no wonder witchcraft is often said to be an insidious technique, and this pair of enemies and sisters are actually more than one. Evil, he said: "Since she harmed you, she should burn your body and burn your bones to ashes. It's over once and for all!"

"Why are you more ruthless than my senior sister?"

"..."

Bai Shibao kept silent, and went to the dark place to lead the poor horse, but there was no sign of the poor horse. He didn't know when it bit him off the rein and ran away, cursing in his heart: "It is said that a good horse is loyal, but as expected, this poor horse is heeled. Unsteady, run away!"

Seeing that Bai Shibao couldn't find the horse, Lan Xin'er stood there cursing, walked over and said with a smile: "It's okay, I injected insect poison into the horse's belly, no matter how far it ran, I will come back obediently after blowing the whistle... ..." After finishing speaking, Lan Xin'er pinched her fingers between her red and tender lips, pursed her lips and blew a whistle!

There was a loud hiss, and indeed there was the sound of horseshoes roaring from a distance.

Lan Xin'er smiled and said, "Look at my methods..."

Bai Shibao heard the sound of horseshoes in disorder, the clang of metal stirrups, and vaguely loud shouts, and the birds flew away from the trees.Bai Shibao lay on the ground, hearing the sound of horseshoes making the ground tremble, he wondered, "Why are there so many sounds of horseshoes? Oh no! Could it be that you ran into a bandit?"

Clap clap clap clap!
A burst of gunfire pierced the silence of the sky, and the sound of killing was close to the ear.

Bai Shibao panicked, and a group of people were already running towards this side with long spears and machetes on horseback. Bai Shibao didn't have a horse under his crotch, and he couldn't run very far with his legs alone. It was too late to find a dark place to hide. The group of people were riding on horseback Already aiming the barrel of a gun at his head, Bai Shibao had no choice but to stand where he was and resign himself to fate.

When the sound of horseshoes stopped, there were more than 30 people in front of Bai Shibao, all in short clothes and breeches, holding long spears and knives, riding on horseback and stepping in circles to trap Bai Shibao in the middle.

The leader was pale and thin, wearing a green jacket with a sapphire tassel hanging from his waist, he patted his horse forward, looked at Bai Shibao, pointed at Bai Shibao with a whip, and said: A three-foot pure green sword, with ghosts and ghosts in the three realms, I just ask where you come from?"

Bai Shibao could understand that this was the code word of the bandits, but he didn't know how to get it right. He listened to people chatting in the teahouse, remembered a few words, and said with a smile: "I dare not speak of my father at home, and dare not speak of my master when I go out. , my surname is Bai, I dare not be honored by my patriarch, so I single out the name, Bai Shibao is it!"

"Which incense do you burn? Which temple do you worship? Which Buddha do you believe in?"

"There is no candle at the crossing of the underworld, and there is nowhere to find this temple in the mortal world. I don't believe in Buddhism!" How could Bai Shibao understand this kind of codeword to investigate "Kongzi", so he simply bet on it with his mouth full of nonsense!
Huh?With a loud sound, he took a deep breath, thinking that in the daily cross-examination, if people of the same way can answer fluently, and those outside the door would have been frightened and trembling, knelt down and begged for their lives, how could he be fair. But it wasn't a handicap code?I muttered in my heart, and asked again: "Which bowl did you serve? And what kind of rice did you eat?"

"The yangjian bowl served, the underworld meal!" Bai Shibao was at the end of his words, cold sweat dripping down his neck.

The man wondered: "What is this all about? It's not the right way at all. I asked everyone and he said, who is this guy?" Then he said to the people behind him: "Search!"

As soon as the words fell, someone raised the barrel of a gun and pressed it against Bai Shibao's forehead, and someone got off the horse and came to search Bai Shibao's body. Dou became vigilant, and when he opened his coat, he took out stacks of yellow paper charms, pieces of willow leaves, bags of black dog bone meal, an old book and a scroll.

"What's in that bag?" the leader reined in his horse and asked.

"Flour made from dog bones!" Bai Shibao said.

Unbelievable, the searcher opened the paper bag, dipped it with his finger, rubbed it into his mouth and sipped it, then raised his head and said, "Second Master! It's not salty or bland, and it smells like dust!"

Bai Shibao raised his head and said to the second in command: "This is the black dog bone meal I used for my practice!"

Erdang got off his horse, squatted on the ground and picked up the yellow paper talisman, then looked at Bai Shibao and asked, "You... are a Taoist priest?"

Bai Shibao nodded.

The Erdang took out a pistol and put it on Bai Shibao's chest and said: "The current situation is turbulent, and there are chaos everywhere. You, a Taoist priest, don't promote the scriptures and enlighten the Tao in the Taoist temple. What are you doing here?... I think you look like a fake Taoist priest! How about Let's make a bet, if you can convince me, I will let you go, if you lose, your little life will be mine..."

"What are you betting on?" Bai Shibao asked.

"I heard that Taoist priests can catch ghosts and subdue demons, catch a ghost for me and have a look!" Er Dangjia laughed and laughed, and all the gangsters laughed along with him.

"Ghostbusters..."

Bai Shibao secretly laughed in his heart and said, "The heavens have blessed me. If it's hard for me to call the wind and rain, I can't do anything to catch ghosts and subdue demons. But there happens to be Lan Xin'er's ghost here. Let her help me, and I will definitely convince these gangsters!"
After thinking about it, Bai Shibao turned his head to look for Lan Xin'er. After scanning around, he saw that Lan Xin'er was riding on the searcher's horse. Seeing him laughing, Bai Shibao said, "Laughing! Come and help me!"

Everyone was suspicious after hearing this, and looked at each other, thinking who is this Bai Shibao talking to again?
Lan Xiner smiled and said, "How do you plan on asking me to help you?"

"Just ride a horse and run around them!"

"it is good!"

Erdang looked back to the horse, saw no one was there, thought Bai Shibao was teasing him, pressed his gun to his chest and said angrily: "Pretending to be a ghost..."

In the middle of the speech, the horse neighed, kicked out, and really ran around the gangsters. The gangsters were so surprised that their jaws dropped, and some even fell from the horse's back to the ground in fright. , all knew that it was haunted, but they didn't know that Lan Xin'er had a good time playing on the horseback!
"Do you believe this time?" Bai Shibao said.

Erdangjia came back to his senses, immediately knelt down on the ground, and said: "I have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, please forgive me, Master!"

"It's good if you believe it, can you let me go?"

"Master's Taoism is so powerful, I, Wang Xiang, admire it!" After finishing speaking, the second master waved his hand to the crowd and shouted, "Tie me up!"

Everyone got up in a hurry, tied Bai Shibao tightly into a 'meat dumpling' with the rope, fought with their hands, and threw Bai Shibao onto the horse's back, Bai Shibao shouted: "Why did you tie me up if you lost the bet? "

Erdangjia knelt on the ground and said: "Master, it's just that there is a reason for the incident, and there is no time to explain it. You will offend if you go up the mountain like this. I will untie you and apologize for you when I get to the mountain gate!" After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and shouted at the gangsters Said: "Go back to the mountain!"
