Reaching to the Sky

Chapter 112: Stay alive

Views:

Nanfeng urinated in circles, and the two female ghosts frowned and looked sideways, not in a hurry to step forward.

At this time, the woman's giggles and some ambiguous sounds could be heard in the room.

When Nanfeng finished urinating, the female ghost who had blood sprayed on her face pointed her finger in the air and said, "If you have the ability, seal the top as well."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense with him. Beat him earlier and drive them out." Another female ghost swung her whip.

"Wait, wait, wait, slow down, I have something to say." Nanfeng hurriedly stopped him, and after saying that, while tying the waist rope, he walked towards the two female ghosts, and when he got closer, he whispered, "We didn't commit any crime. What a serious crime, we are in a hurry now, if you hit us, we won’t be able to walk tomorrow, let’s discuss it, how about using incense and candles to offset this physical pain?”

The two female ghosts frowned after hearing this. They have been staying here for many years. They have seen people begging for mercy, people working hard, but they have never seen anyone giving gifts.

Seeing that the other party did not refuse immediately, Nanfeng added, "Put incense and candles everywhere, give you two new clothes, and burn a few pairs of beautiful shoes."

The two female ghosts were a little moved, looking at each other, unable to make up their minds.

Nanfeng struck while the iron was hot, "We have money on us, and we have burned some of the women's things. We have offended many people before, so don't blame us, don't blame us."

This place is very remote, and the female ghost has little access to incense and money. Hearing what he said, her heart moved. The injured female ghost said loudly, "If you are whipped here, you won't scream in agony. Go out and do it!"

Another female ghost understood and opened the door from a distance. Nanfeng walked back, grabbed the fat man, and walked out quickly.

After arriving at the door and walking a few dozen feet to the west, the female ghost whipped her whip, Nanfeng shouted a few times, and the matter was over.

"There are villages and towns sixty miles north. The fire will come tomorrow at the second watch. If you dare to break your promise, you will not be spared." The injured female ghost said.

"No, no, dare I ask the names of the two of you?" Nanfeng asked with a smile.

"My name is Gao Xiaolan, and her name is Zhang Adi." The injured female ghost replied. When burning incense and giving gifts, you must read your name, otherwise they will not be able to accept them.

Nanfeng originally wanted to ask who the woman was, but she would definitely not tell him if he asked directly, so he rounded it up a bit and said, "Excuse me, you two, where is this place?"

"This place is called Yulin Mountain." Gao Xiaolan replied.

"Why do you two no longer reincarnate, but stay here, suffering in poverty and loneliness?" Nanfeng pretended to be concerned.

The most useful way to please a woman is to tell her how hard it is and how hard it is. When Nanfeng said this, Gao Xiaolan no longer hated him as much as before. She sighed and said, "My master has been ordered to station here. We Sisters can only return to Yang to serve."

Nanfeng wanted to say more, but Gao Xiaolan said first, "You should go as soon as possible. Don't forget the promise."

"Okay, okay, the second update will be delivered tomorrow." Nanfeng said goodbye to the two of them, "Take care, you two, and we will bring some wine to worship you when we return."

The two female ghosts nodded in agreement, and Nanfeng took the fat man back to the official road and walked north.

Nanfeng saved the two of them from the physical pain with a few words. The fat man admired him, but he was not good at words and could not express his admiration in words.

After walking a few miles, Nanfeng turned around and looked back. The ghost house was located on the sunny slope and could no longer be seen.

"What, you still don't want to leave?" said the fat man.

"They come from the underworld." Nanfeng said. Gao Xiaolan once said that the two of them returned to the Yang to serve. Returning to the Yang means that they lived in the underworld before and came from the underworld.

"What's wrong?" The fat man didn't understand.

"Once the ghosts go to the underworld, they either stay and wait, or they are reincarnated. They can actually return to the Yang world, which shows that the woman before was not an ordinary person." Nanfeng said.

"What does it have to do with us?" the fat man asked.

Nanfeng shook his head. The fat man didn't know about the big eyes. The big eyes were the reincarnation of Taiyin Yuanjun, who was in charge of the Yin Cao. The woman had come from the Yin Cao, so he suspected that this person had something to do with the big eyes. Since the woman was ordered to garrison This shows that there is a more powerful Yin official behind her.

This is the official road of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The reason why this woman is stationed here is probably related to her big eyes. She is either looking for protection or squatting to arrest her. Unfortunately, the two female ghosts did not reveal more before, so he has no way of inferring.

However, the woman's words and deeds were evil and she was not a kind person. The latter was more likely. The woman did not kill them because their sins were not worthy of death and she did not dare to kill them in vain. This shows that the woman had an official position in the underworld, so she did not dare to mess around.

What the female ghost named Gao Xiaolan said was true. There was indeed a small town sixty miles ahead. It was almost noon when they entered the town. The two found a place to stay. After taking a rest, Nanfeng went out to buy incense and candles and other items. At the second watch, I found a quiet place and lit a fire. I read the names of the two female ghosts and gave them to them.

Having learned from the past, the two of them did not dare to leave the situation alone, so they traveled at dawn and stayed overnight, trying to avoid walking at night as much as possible.

However, the distance between cities, counties and towns is not fixed. Sometimes you can see a town after traveling for more than ten miles, and sometimes you can't see the city even after traveling for two or three hundred miles. This time Nanfeng has an extra set of eyes. , carry incense candles and candles with you, so that you can easily deal with them if you encounter the same situation as before.

You will also encounter some Taoists who are on their way on the way. The Eastern Wei Dynasty is the sphere of influence of the Shangqing Sect, and most of the Taoists here are Shangqing Taoists.

Different from Taiqing's Youdu and Yuqing's aloofness, Shangqing Taoists are very casual, don't pay much attention to etiquette and dignity, have no airs, and are more friendly. However, Shangqing Taoists also did not follow the rules. They rarely preached when encountering problems. They scolded when they opened their mouths and hit when they stretched out their hands. They punished more than inspired them.

"Look at that guy." The fat man pursed his lips at the other table.

"Eat yours." Nanfeng said. The two of them were sitting in the northwest corner of the inn. There were a few diners at the middle table. They were Taoists. One of the Taoists had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his front teeth protruded outward, resembling a rat's teeth.

"I thought you Taoist priests all picked Zhou Zheng to recruit people." The fat man muttered.

Nanfeng frowned and raised his hand, signaling the fat man not to talk nonsense. The Taoist aura that the fat man mentioned was different, and he was obviously an alien phantom. Unlike Yuqing and Taiqing, the Shangqing Sect had a lower threshold for accepting disciples. Bad, even aliens can worship the Supreme Being.

At this time, the Taoist priests at the table were drinking and talking, and did not pay attention to the words of the two people. However, Nanfeng heard their conversation. These Taoist priests were Taoist priests from a branch of the Shangqing Sect. They came out this time because of the tiger skin. Golden cicada.

They did not directly mention the tiger-skinned cicada, but their words such as shedding skin and Qilin Mountain indirectly indicated what they wanted to do.

The Taoist priests were not infatuated with wine, so they set out on their way after having a few drinks. The Taoist priest with large front teeth walked at the end. When he was leaving the house, he tilted his head to look at the fat man and smiled at him.

The fat man didn't know why and looked back in confusion.

The Taoist priest's facial features suddenly changed, from a human head to a huge yellow-haired rat head.

"Ah!" The fat man was shocked and fell down.

The Taoist priest turned around and went out laughing.

Nanfeng raised the stool and then stretched out his hand to pull up the pale-faced fat man.

The fat man was quite frightened. After he sat down, he looked gloomy and very depressed.

"Don't talk nonsense in the future, and avoid making trouble." Nanfeng said in a low voice.

The fat man was depressed and responded casually.

"Are we still going?" the fat man asked.

Nan Feng did not answer immediately. The guests at the previous table did not lower their voices when speaking. Fatty also heard their conversation. So many people were thinking about the tiger-skinned cicada, which made him feel that his hope was slim.

In fact, not only the fat man, but Nanfeng was also in a very depressed mood. He had never subdued the two female ghosts before, but instead relied on bribes to get away. Although he didn't spend much money, he was still very humiliated.

At this moment, he finally understood why Tian Yuanzi cared so much about whether he could be given the nun. If he had not been given the nun, he would at best be a warrior. He could not ask gods to control ghosts, nor could he subjugate demons and exorcise evil spirits. It was inconvenient and too useless.

"How about we go back." The fat man backed down.

"We've already come here, no matter what, we have to go and take a look." His confidence was thwarted, and Nanfeng was not optimistic about the future.

"It's all in vain." The fat man pushed aside the leftover noodle soup. He never had leftover food. This time he didn't even think about eating, which showed how depressed he was.

"Don't be too depressed. We don't have the skills now. It's inevitable to be angry and humiliated. We can't be heroes right now. We'll be lucky if we can save our lives." Nanfeng comforted the fat man and comforted himself at the same time.

"I don't want to be a hero. I just don't want you to run around for me. I don't want that thing anymore. As the old saying goes, people are cheap when they leave their hometown. Let's go back to Chang'an." The fat man said.

"A capable person is not cheap when he leaves his hometown, and a person who is incompetent is cheap wherever he is." Nanfeng pushed the noodle soup in front of the fat man, "Eat quickly, and leave early after eating. Don't think too much, I'm coming to the Eastern Wei Dynasty It’s not all because of you. Even if we don’t get that thing, it’s not in vain. I have offended both Taiqing and Yuqing. If I want to confer burial, I can only find a way from the higher Qing... "
