The Glass Maiden

Chapter 8 Wangxian Exorcising Ghosts (1) ()

It turns out that there is a mountain behind Wangxian Town, and the mountain is covered with a kind of grass called Zhuyu. It is delicious and sweet. It can be used for cooking at ordinary times. After one meal, you can skip meals for three days. So the people in Wangxian Town Don't grow your own food, and rely on Zhu Yucao that is full of mountains and plains.

Unexpectedly, three months ago, when someone went up the mountain to pick Zhuyu, they found that the large tracts of Zhuyu grass on the south side of Houshan had been uprooted. Some were even like a prank. Even the roots were pulled out and no one would eat them.

Later, the situation gradually became serious. The Zhuyu grass in the entire back mountain withered and developed to the front mountain, and there was only a small area left with Zhuyu grass. The grass is the only source of food for the people in the town. If it dies, there is nothing to eat or drink.

Eating and drinking is still a trivial matter. What is even more bizarre is that since Zhu Yucao has died, the mountains have been haunted, and ghosts cry in the middle of the night, and they are so powerful that they often go on all night and rest until dawn.

No matter the young men, those timid children, "women" and children, are often so scared that they can't sleep all night, and over time they become sick. By now, most of the people in the town have fallen ill. The most hateful is the bold young people. Three or five groups went to Houshan in the middle of the night to see what was going on at the bottom of the mountain. They never came back, adding a touch of horror to the haunting.

When the three of Xuanji heard that they were afraid, all of them were young and vigorous, eager to try, and immediately agreed to go to Wangxian Town to drive ghosts out, urging Boss Zhao and the others to leave. The group did not even drink tea after the meal, and ran directly to the east ferry, towards Wangxian Town.

When they arrived at the ferry, the three of them packed a awning fishing boat and swayed across the river.

The cabin of the fishing boat was small, and the three of Mr. Zhao were also crowded inside, making Linglong unhappy. She felt that the old men were pickled and smelly, so she dragged Zhong Minyan to the stern to whisper.

Boss Zhao himself felt embarrassed, and smiled at Xuanji: "We should rent a bigger boat. It's not a problem for the ladies to squeeze this boat with us like old men."

Xuanji smiled and said calmly: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry about it. There are many conveniences when you go out. Why don't you tell me, has anyone in the town ever seen that ghost look like?"

Boss Zhao thought for a while, hesitated and said: "I haven't seen an adult, but my little grandson, who is only four years old, yelled about seeing a crying ghost a few days ago, saying that he has three heads and wings. This... …He is a child, and we don’t take his words seriously."

Xuanji groaned for a long while, just at this moment Linglong pulled Zhong Minyan back, listening to Boss Zhao's words, she couldn't help but turn pale, she came over and quietly pulled her clothes, and said softly against her ears: "Xuanji...is it really a winged ghost with three heads? That...how terrible!"

Zhong Minyan heard her whispering a long time ago, and smiled immediately: "Afraid? Then who was the hero who took it first? Or you can find a place to hide when you get to the town, Xuanji and I will drive away ghosts."

Linglong said anxiously: "Say'chaos'! I'm not afraid! I... I will go too!"

Boss Zhao smiled and said: "Miss is a cultivator of immortals, so naturally I am not afraid. I only hope that you will succeed in driving away ghosts and give me peace of mind."

Zhong Min said: "I heard that the ghost had three heads and wings. It must not be a ghost, maybe it is a demon bird. In Lutai Mountain a few years ago, we also encountered Gu vultures that cried like ghosts. If it's a demon, then it will definitely come in handy."

Linglong simply took out the list of ten thousand monsters in her carry-on salute, and said: "I remember a monster bird with three heads, but I can't remember its name."

Xuanji also leaned over to watch with her, and suddenly saw something, and immediately clicked, "Is it this?"

The three of them looked at the picture on her finger, but it was Qu Runiao with three bird bodies.

Linglong hurriedly handed the picture to Boss Zhao and asked, "Lao Zhang, take a look, is it like this?"

Boss Zhao squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally shook his head and sighed: "Ashamed, we haven't seen the ghost who caused the accident... Only my little grandson has come to see."

Linglong is an anxious person, so she hurriedly got out of the cabin to see the sky, and asked: "When can I get to Wangxian Town? The boat has been ferrying all morning."

Mr. Zhao laughed and said: "It's still early, after crossing the river in the afternoon, I have to walk more than a dozen miles, and I have to walk faster, and I won't get there tomorrow!"

As soon as Linglong heard that it would not arrive until tomorrow, she was anxious to walk around the bow, and finally stomped, and shouted: "Little six! Xuanji! Let's fly over! Walk slowly like this, and when will you wait!" "

Zhong Minyan and Xuanji looked at each other, they knew Linglong very well, and her eldest lady was probably already at the limit.

At the moment Zhong Minyan got up and bowed his hand to Mr. Zhao, apologizing: "Sorry, Mr. Zhang, we are one step ahead. Waiting for you in Wangxian Town."

Boss Zhao wondered: "The boat is still on the water...brother! This...how to go first...?"

Linglong smiled and said: "We have our own way. Goodbye!"

As soon as the voice fell, the three of them disappeared at the bow of the boat at the same time. Everyone chased the bow and saw three white lights across the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye. They, the people of the mountains and wilds, have never seen a cultivator flying with a sword, just as a god, and quickly knelt on the bow of the ship and kept kowtow.

Yu Jian flew away and arrived at Wangxian Town in the blink of an eye. The three of them, Xuanji, naturally did not see anyone bowing to them.

As soon as Linglong fell to the ground, she was busy looking for people to ask about the situation. Who knows that Wangxian Town is huge, in broad daylight, and there is no one on the street. It's empty, like a dead city.

"No...no haunted during the day, why no one..."

Linglong walked on the street for a while, and suddenly saw a restaurant with a half-old flag in front of him, half of the door was opened, and the three of them hurried over.

Linglong couldn't help but yelled as soon as she entered, "The shopkeeper! The shopkeeper!"

After calling for a long time, no one inside agreed. The three of them looked intently and saw that the tables and chairs in the lobby were scattered and dusty. It was thought that the guests were in a hurry, and even the wine glasses and tea cups on the table were not taken away.

Xuanji picked up an undamaged stool and wiped the ash from it with a handkerchief. Then she sat down and said softly: "Maybe it is haunted, so the restaurant is out of business, so I just abandoned the shop and left."

Saying she yawned, she usually took a nap at this time. Now she is out of the house and can't sleep, and she has a headache.

Linglong also sat next to her, "touching" and "touching" her stomach, and sighed bitterly: "I...I'm hungry. There is no one in this ghost place... so annoying..."

Zhong Minyan smiled bitterly: "My ladies, going out is better than at home, don't you be squeamish?"

He took out the dry food canteen from his bag and handed it to Linglong, "Hey, let's eat something first. Go back to catch the demon, and then go to the big town to eat some good food."

Linglong smiled sweetly, and then obediently took over the dry food, first divided more than half of it to Xuanji, and smiled: "Sister eat more, are you hungry too?"

Xuanji picked up the dried sesame seed cake, hesitating which end to gnaw softer, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps upstairs, it seemed that someone was walking. The three of them immediately threw down their dry food, shaped like electricity, and ran upstairs together. They saw a flash of figures in the hallway. When they saw them, they quickly hid in the room and closed the door with a slam. The dust was overflowing.

How could Linglong endure, she rushed up with a stride, kicked the door broken when she raised her foot, and sternly said: "Who is it! It's a man or a ghost, come out for me!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was crying from inside, and someone trembled: "The female king, please! Please!"

The three of them looked intently, only to see more than a dozen people hiding in the room, some even lying under the bed, with only their heads exposed, looking at them with trepidation.

Zhong Minyan hurriedly pulled Linglong away, and said, "Sorry, I disturbed you all. We are practitioners of the Shaoyang School. We heard that Guizhen is haunted, so we came to expel the demons."

Those people heard it and came out tremblingly.

It turns out that they are all people from this restaurant, but because the town is haunted, there is no business to do, and they are reluctant to return to their hometown, so they stay here. I just hope to get rid of the ghost sooner or later so that we can continue doing business.

At the moment everyone explained their misunderstanding. Those people knew that Xuanji and the others were here to catch ghosts. They were so excited to serve tea, cook and cook, and they cleaned up the rooms for them.

When the hot meal finally reached her mouth, Linglong sighed with satisfaction and laughed: "Actually, it's really fun to come out and experience... it's pretty fun!"

Zhong Minyan just smiled bitterly, she probably forgot, who was the loudest crying just now.
