Chapter 64: A Chinese Ghost Story

   Happy New Year's Day everyone!

  *****The beginning of the text*****

   "So, how do you help Alexis become like a living person?"

   After waking up again, sitting on the floor, eating a simple sandwich that should be regarded as breakfast physiologically, but can only be described as afternoon tea in terms of time, Charlize asked Charlotte.

   "There are so many things to do here!"

   Charlotte is making black tea in the open kitchen of the apartment. Although it's just a simple tea bag, compared to the spirits like vodka or the kvass in the refrigerator, this fragrant drink is obviously more in line with the current atmosphere.

   "Returning from the world of painting the wall, proving her determination to live is only the first step. Later, we need to gather the skeleton and the demon tree that communicates life and death to be completed."

   "Ah!? What are these!?"

   Charlize's face is full of question marks.

   "There is actually a story in it—"

   Charlotte was about to start another spell science, but suddenly noticed that Charlize was rubbing his knee.

   "What happened to your knee?"

   "Last night, no, it should be said that I was kneeling on the floor for too long this morning, maybe some bruises."

  "..."

   Thinking back to the scene at that time, Charlotte felt stunned and wisely did not continue to comment on this topic, but continued to tell her own story.

"Also in ancient China, there was a scholar named Ning Caichen who was staying in an abandoned temple on the way. At night, a beautiful girl named Xiaoqian suddenly walked into his bedroom, saying that it was a long night. I was bored and wanted to be with him—"

Speaking of this, thinking of the simple vocabulary "Moonnight is sleepless, I wish you a good swallow" in the original "Liao Zhai", Charlotte felt a little embarrassed for a while, but Charlize, who was already familiar with him, instantly understood the meaning. ,

   "Do you want to go to bed?"

"…Yes."

   "Charlotte, I suddenly found something."

  Charlize interrupted Charlotte again.

   "Whether the story of "Painting the Wall" last time, or this story, the hero and heroine are all about to go to bed very suddenly. Didn't you mean to imply me something?"

   The blonde girl's expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but there was a trace of flattery and contentment in her turquoise eyes.

   Charlotte swallowed unconsciously.

   "No, I didn't mean that."

  —If it was before, this answer means that he has lost another chance. But now, Charlotte thinks it's better to tell the truth.

   "But if that's the case, are the women in these stories too active? I remember that ancient China has always been known for being conservative."

  —How do I know why Pu Songling always writes such stories in "Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio"? And always reduce irrigation and go straight to the topic? Having said that, this old man's failure in imperial examinations all his life is not because he has used all his mental energy on these systematic texts, right?

   Charlotte slandered her old predecessors unkindly in her heart, but she didn't say anything superfluous.

   "The story is like this, and I can't help it. Can you still listen to it?"

"Go on."

"...In short, Ning Caichen is not a lecherous person. He refused Xiaoqian's invitation, but Xiaoqian told him that she was actually a ghost of a dryad monster, who was specially sent to confuse them. The people in the temple, so as to absorb their vitality. If he is not deceived, then ghosts will soon come and kill him!"

   "That is to eat sildenafil overdose to death, or is it the choice of being shot to death?"

   Charlize made a very brilliant summary.

   "...you understand it correctly."

   Although it does not exactly match the story, Charlotte has no plans to explain further. He continues to tell,

"Because I think Ning Caichen is a good person, Xiaoqian hopes to help him escape this catastrophe, so she instructs him to ask for help from a man named Yan Chixia who also lives in the temple. Yan Chixia is a strange person who is not afraid of ghosts. With his help, Ning Caichen not only was not killed, but rescued Xiao Qian from the clutches of the tree spirit, and buried her remains near her home."

   "Wait, remains!?"

"Yes!"

   Looking at Charlize who was puzzled, Charlotte rolled her eyes.

   "Have you forgotten? Xiaoqian is a female ghost. After she dies, she will naturally leave her remains."

   Seeing Charlize’s face suddenly realized, Charlotte continued:

   "Later, Xiaoqian became Ning Caichen's wife and lived with him. Ning Caichen's friends never discovered the fact that she was a female ghost."

   "Is this over?"

"Yes!"

   "According to what you said before, there are always some real spells hidden behind the legend."

   Seeing that Charlotte didn’t speak, Charlize simply guessed for himself.

   "Does this mean that if this spell is achieved, Alexis can live like a real person like Xiao Qian in this story?"

   "That's right."

  Charlotte nodded,

   "And to achieve this effect, three things are needed."

"what?"

   "Father's bone, servant's flesh, enemy's blood."

   "What!?"

   "...Sorry, I mispronounced the line!"

   Charlotte rubbed her nose, but she despised herself in her heart. She accidentally said the method of Lord Voldemort's resurrection in "Harry Potter"-although it is also a resurrection, but he has no nose if he survives this way! Let’s not talk about useful or useless, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com just thinks that Alexis will not accept this point!

   "Actually, to achieve the effect in this story, there are indeed three things needed."

   Charlotte raised her left index finger,

   "First of all, it is my own remains. This should also be said clearly in the story."

   Charlize nodded.

"Secondly is the demon tree that communicates life and death. Just like the story said, although the tree spirit controlled Xiaoqian, it did inadvertently give Xiaoqian a part of living strength; and in the end, it was a lot of vitality. It is the basis for casting this strange spell."

   "These three points don't seem to be easy to achieve, right?"

   Charlize looked at Charlotte worriedly.

   "Can't say the same, at least the remains of Alexis, as long as we investigate, we can still find it."

   Charlotte is not very worried,

   "As for the demon tree that communicates life and death, I have a vague idea that needs to be studied carefully. It is the large amount of vitality...it is indeed somewhat—"

   "If it doesn't work, forget it!"

"what!?"

   "Alexis asked me to tell you this."

  Charlize stuck out his tongue.

   "She knows that a lot of vitality can only be taken from living people. Although she wants to experience the taste of being alive again, she doesn't want to hurt other people because of it, so..."

"I see!"

  Charlotte nodded, her face calmed down, but her eyes filled with relief.

   "I will think of a way again, but there is no alternative. Anyway, let her wait for my news!"

"OK."

   Charlize smiled slightly,

   "By the way, she also asked me to tell you-thank you!"
