"Master Jiu, I understand. You don't like me because I'm a ghost, right? But it's okay to be a human or a ghost. As long as the two of them truly love each other, isn't that enough?" Queen Qianmu looked at me and said

I understood now that this girl was really bewitched by my masculinity, and I thought she would not have any ill intentions. I threw the Jiang Chen sword in my hand into the **, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and said to her: "Your name is Li Qian, right? My name is actually not Jiu Ye. You are right, it does not matter whether you are a human or a ghost. The person I like is not human now, but you don’t understand the feeling of love. Maybe you have a good impression of me just because I praised you. Seriously, don’t be silly, you should rest assured and go to reincarnate. I have people in the underworld. If you really want to reincarnate, I can arrange it for you."

"I'm an evil ghost, I understand. I've never wanted to reincarnate. But I'm an evil ghost. I can't reincarnate after killing so many people." The Thousand Eyes Lady said disappointedly, "Also, I really like you now. It's not the good feeling I had before. Do you believe in love at first sight?"

"I don't believe it. I've always believed that love at first sight is nothing more than a sudden overflow of hormones. You should go back. It's useless to declare your love here." I shook my head and looked at this Thousand-Eyed Lady. I didn't feel that she was as vicious as the legend said. No, it should be said that ghosts are not scary. What is scary is the human heart. For example, the person who deceived her and turned her into the Thousand-Eyed Lady is a thousand times, ten thousand times scarier than an evil ghost.

The Thousand-Eyed Lady shook her head in disappointment, turned around and walked away into the wall. I also sighed, and just when I was about to continue thinking about the philosophy of life, I suddenly realized that I was still in bed. Damn, I was so scared by that girl that I ran out without even having time to put on my clothes. I ran back to the bathroom, but because I was scared by the Thousand-Eyed Lady just now, I didn't feel like taking a shower at all. I just took a quick shower and fell asleep in bed.

I spent the next two days playing games in an Internet cafe, mainly because I was too bored. The Thousand-Eyed Goddess didn't show up in those two days. On the third day, people started beating drums and gongs outside early in the morning, which woke me up. I looked at the time and it was only the wee hours. I walked to the window and saw a big truck outside with a billboard hanging on it. The billboard said that the mayor had invited a ghost-catching Taoist priest to go to Mangrove Village to exorcise ghosts or something like that. I lost my sleepiness as soon as I saw it. I looked at the three or four Taoists on the billboard, wearing yellow Taoist robes and posing like celebrities. I looked at the location and it seemed to be a place called Wujiang Square, where they would hold a ceremony at noon or something. I got dressed, carried my bag, and walked to the aunt downstairs to ask her where Wujiang Square was.

The strange thing is that the old lady who always had a miserable face now had a big smile on her face, just like she was giving birth to a son. I asked, "Auntie, where is the Wujiang Square?"

When the lady heard this, she said to me in a gentle voice: "Young man, you should also go to see the Taoist priests perform. I tell you, these Taoist priests this time are..."

It sounded to me like this auntie was having an affair with the Taoist priests. She was just short of telling me the color of the priests' underwear. I hurriedly said, "Oh, auntie, no, sister, just tell me where the Wujiang Square is."

"Oh, you are such a sweet talker today, let me tell you..." The old lady started chattering again, talking about this and that but she wouldn't tell me where the Wujiang Square was. I quickly said, "Okay, I'll go out and ask myself." After that, I ran out of the hotel and ran to the street. I saw that everyone on the street had a smile on their face, as if it was New Year's. Some even started setting off firecrackers.

I asked an old man and found out that it was because the Red Tree Village was so evil that the people in Wujiang Town were basically panicking. Those who were a little rich and capable had moved away. Now they heard that a Taoist priest had risked his life to get rid of this evil. How could they not be happy? The Wujiang Square was opposite the Overlord Temple. Maybe it was too dark at the time, so I didn’t notice that there was a Guangchao opposite the Overlord Temple. After hearing this, I also ran towards the Overlord Temple.

When I got there, I saw that there was indeed a square paved with white tiles opposite the Overlord Temple. Many people were talking about it in the square, and there were lion dances. There was also a stage in the square. I also saw the mayor in the distance. He was dressed like a groom, all in red. He was standing on the stage, holding a microphone and said, "This time we have invited masters with real skills. Don't worry, the problem in Mangrove Village can be solved this time. Be polite to the masters who come later."

Looking at the mayor, I also became curious about those Taoist priests. I held a cigarette in my mouth, found a chair and sat down to wait. From their conversation, I learned that they were quite afraid of the red tree village. There were often children who bet on going in to take risks, but none of them came back. Some of the children's parents were crying, saying that someone had avenged their children.

This wait was quite long. I waited from about 7:30 to 11:00. When I was getting a little impatient, an Audi A8 finally drove over. When I opened the door, I saw three Taoists coming out. One of them looked to be in his 50s. He was thin and looked quite like an immortal. There were two young Taoists in their 20s, one was slightly fat and the other was thin. They were all wearing yellow Taoist robes, which looked quite similar to the Maoshan style.

I stood up and felt my legs were sore from sitting. I rubbed my thighs and was just about to go over to say hello when the mayor and his men came over to flatter me. The Taoist priest was also chatting with the mayor with a smile. When I saw this, I didn't know what to say, so I sat down and waited. I planned to go up and talk to the Taoist priest when I had time, and tell them the general situation of this mangrove village.

Soon the Taoist priest stood on the stage, holding the microphone and said: "Don't worry, everyone, with me, the head of Maoshan, here, all problems are not a problem."

"Puff!" I looked at this guy. What? The head of Maoshan changed? Then this guy and two other young Taoist priests started a Taoist acrobatic performance. It made me feel sick. I also understood that it seemed that the village chief had hired a liar again.
