However, when I opened the umbrella, a cool breeze blew in from above the umbrella, and the discomfort caused by the sunlight disappeared instantly.
Jiang Lin looked at the Taoist priest in surprise.
The Taoist smiled brilliantly: "A small formation, isn't it powerful?"
Jiang Lin's eyes warmed slightly: "Thank you, I'm Jiang Lin."
When the young Taoist heard him introduce himself, he smiled even more, but complained, "He is such a difficult ghost to approach. He only gave me a name after I offered him some benefits."
He said nonchalantly: "My name is Qin Ling, and my master picked me up from Qin Ling."
Jiang Lin was about to say something when he suddenly heard Huai Yin's message.
His face turned stern, and he said, "I have something urgent to do. Bye."
Qinling:
Before he could react, he found that the ghost in front of him had used magic, and his figure quickly shuttled through the crowd and soon disappeared.
This is not a method that a newly deceased ghost could understand.
Qin Ling touched his chin, feeling that he had found an unexpected surprise on this trip.
He followed the aura left by Jiang Lin, which did not belong to the world of the living, and chased after him.
Huaiyin was standing in front of a house waiting for Jiang Lin. Qingluo also received the news and was on the way over.
Seeing Jiang Lin coming over, Huaiyin pointed to the closed door in front of him and said, "I noticed that the breath stopped here."
Jiang Lin looked up at the plaque with the words "Wangfu" written on it.
Palace.
In the original story, the first person the Painted Skin Ghost killed was a scholar named Wang.
Jiang Jin can no longer control his evil spirit. Is he going to attack ordinary people
Fortunately, there is no blood in the room yet, so it is clear that everything is not irreversible.
Jiang Lin walked to the front door and knocked on it.
The next moment, a golden light popped out from the door and forced him back three steps.
It's a door god.
Ordinary families will worship door gods on their front doors to protect the safety of their homes.
With the door god there, ordinary ghosts are not allowed to enter unless the owner agrees.
Of course, people like Jiang Jin and Chen Fu, who have blood feuds, don't count.
But for a place like Jiang Lin and the palace have no relationship at all, evil spirits cannot enter other people's homes at will.
Jiang Lin coughed muffledly. The golden light of the god caused some damage to the ghost's body.
He said to Huaiyin, "Go knock on the door."
Huaiyin nodded and rang the doorbell.
She is a thousand-year-old demon, and the power of the door god's clone is nothing to her.
The door was opened, and a man dressed as a servant was stunned when he saw the radiant beauty Huaiyin.
"Ma'am, what can I do for you?"
Huaiyin said: "My master wants to visit the master of your house."
The servant then saw Jiang Lin standing aside and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The young man was as beautiful as jade, with elegant manners. He stood at the door holding an umbrella. His jade-like fingers holding the umbrella handle were indescribably handsome.
It’s a pity that he looks pale, as if he is seriously ill.
The servant thought regretfully: No wonder he couldn't stand the scorching sun and had to hold an umbrella.
Seeing the servant looking at him, Jiang Lin smiled gently and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, master. Has your master found a young girl these days? I'm her family member, please let her know."
When the servant heard this, his expression became embarrassed.
It turned out that three days ago, his young master, Prince Wang, brought a beautiful young lady home from outside.
Young Master Wang was married, and it was difficult for him to explain the young lady's background to his family, so he could only place her in the study for the time being.
The madam doesn’t know about this, and the old lady doesn’t know about it.
Apart from Master Wang, the only person who knew the inside story was the servant Wang Dan who opened the door.
He was also instructed by the young master to buy some jewelry for the young lady.
Wang Dan knew very well what his young master was thinking.
It's just... I thought she was an orphan, but I never expected that she actually had a family.
He is a young man who looks either rich or noble at first glance.
Wang Dan did not dare to neglect it and said repeatedly: "I will go and inform the master, please wait a moment."
Wang Dan naturally didn't dare to tell his wife and hurried to the study.
When he arrived at the study, the romantic and amorous prince was standing in front of the desk, painting a portrait of the beautiful lady lying on the couch.
"Mrs. Jin's skin is as white as snow. I feel pity for her when I see her." Prince Wang praised.
The woman called Jinniang bowed her head shyly when she heard the words: "Sir, you are too kind."
Prince Wang looked at the beauty in front of him and felt itchy in his heart.
He met Jinniang at dusk a few days ago. She was a weak woman, who came alone with a bag on her back. She said she came to the capital to look for her relatives, but she couldn't find her relatives according to the address.
When Prince Wang was glanced at by the beautiful woman's affectionate eyes, half of his body softened.
He made up an excuse and brought the person back.
However, this young lady seemed to be from a scholar's family. Although she followed him to the palace, she was always unwilling to commit herself to him, saying that she had no status and did not dare to bring shame to her family.
When you love someone, you naturally feel that the other person is perfect. Although Prince Wang was anxious, he loved the other person even more after hearing this, and was just waiting to find a suitable reason to tell his family.
Today, naturally, there is another red-sleeved lady adding fragrance to the occasion.
It’s a pity that Prince Wang’s wife thought that her husband was studying hard in the study every day.
Just at this moment, Wang Dan knocked on the door and came in, saying hurriedly: "Sir, there is a god-like young man outside, with a stunning beauty, who is said to be... said to be Miss Jin's family."
family
Prince Wang frowned and looked at Jinniang: "Didn't you say you didn't find your family?"
Jinniang said softly, "Maybe I recognized the wrong person? All my relatives are gone, all dead."
Prince Wang didn't notice the flash of resentment in the other person's eyes when he said "all dead".
Although he thought the word was a bit strange, he didn't care too much.
He said: "Although I don't know whether it is true or not, if it is really your family, it would be a good thing for you."
He looked at the beauty with some pity. If it was really her family members who came, he would have to send them away.
However, he thought sincerely: If Jinniang could find her loved ones, it would indeed be better than being alone.
He took Jinniang's hand and said, "Come, I'll take you to see it."
Jinniang followed Master Wang obediently, thinking indifferently: I don't know which young man lost his daughter at home and came here to look for her.
She thought maliciously: It will be refreshing to see the disappointed look in other people's eyes.
There was a black mist in her eyes, and the smile on her face became softer.
From a distance, Jinniang saw a figure in green holding an umbrella with his back to her.
The figure was very thin and frail, wrapped in a sky-blue robe. The wind gently blew up his robe, making him look like a god.
So familiar.
Jinniang suddenly stopped.
Prince Wang beside him also stopped, but he was simply praising: "Just by looking at his back, you can tell how graceful this young master is."
He suddenly realized that his sleeve was being held by someone, and the force was so strong that he was a little confused: How could such a weak girl like Jinniang almost pull him over
"Jinniang, what's wrong?"
Jinniang's hand that was holding Prince Wang's sleeve was trembling slightly, and even uncontrollably grew black claws.
She stared at the back and licked her lips: "That's right, I think this back is a little familiar."
She let go of Prince Wang's sleeve, stared at the figure's back, and walked forward step by step.
Jiang Lin noticed the movement and turned around.
The familiar face startled Jinniang.
The young man holding the umbrella showed her his usual warm smile: "Ajin, brother is here to take you home."
Jinniang suddenly smiled.
She laughed bigger and bigger, until the corners of her mouth cracked, which looked very scary.
Fortunately, Prince Wang was standing behind and could not see this scene.
"Take me home? Brother?" A thick dark mist appeared on Jinniang's face. She seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time, and her voice was sharp. "Why didn't you come earlier? Why didn't you come earlier?"
"Sorry." Jiang Lin sighed in his heart and thought, because your brother can't come.
He took a few steps forward, and the shady umbrella shielded his sister from the scorching sunlight.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked his sister's head, just like he had done many years ago: "I'm sorry, I will find Jin sooner next time."
Ah Jin was stunned.
She stared blankly at the cool air under the umbrella, and belatedly realized that the hand touching her head was so cold.
Only then did she notice that the brother in front of her was so pale that his face was almost transparent.
She was so close to him, but she couldn't detect any trace of human presence.
Her empty heart suddenly seemed to be torn open by a big hole, and a cold wind rushed in, making her whole body cold, even colder than when she was lying alone in the ground.
“Brother…” She grabbed the hand on her head and clasped the two equally cold hands together.
She didn't know when her eyes turned dark, tears of blood flowed down, and she cried out sharply: "Brother—"
Prince Wang, who was standing behind them and was originally enjoying the scene of brother and sister recognizing each other, suddenly shuddered with a chill.
He looked up in surprise; the sun was still so bright.
Jiang Lin let the little girl in his arms cry, and even had the leisure to greet Prince Wang: "My sister hasn't seen me for a long time, I am moved at the moment, please..."
"I understand, I understand." Prince Wang said quickly, "I am deeply moved by the love between the two siblings."
The two of them could not hide the noise they made at the gate.
Prince Wang's wife came over and saw the Jiang Lin siblings still hugging each other. She looked at her husband in surprise: "Husband, what is this?"
Prince Wang said awkwardly, "This is Jinniang. I saw she was alone, so I took her in for two days. This gentleman is her brother, and he is here to take Jinniang home."
When Prince Wang’s wife heard this, she knew what was going on.
If you really want to take in a young lady, why don't you inform the mistress of the mansion
She glared at Young Master Wang, saying that it was inconvenient with the guests around. She would definitely have a good talk with her husband after the brother and sister left.
But at this moment, Jinniang suddenly burst into laughter.
She came out of Jiang Lin's arms and touched her face carefully to make sure she had regained her charming look and there was nothing wrong with her.
Her brother is still so handsome, she can’t be too ugly and scare him.
She turned around and looked at Prince Wang and his wife, her eyes flashing with malice that made them both shudder.
She pouted and acted like a spoiled brat: "Brother, I went to my uncle's house. He is so hateful. He found a stinky Taoist priest to set up a formation. I wandered around for several days but couldn't get in."
Prince Wang and his wife were both confused. They thought the words sounded strange, and the look in the girl's eyes was frightening.
Jiang Lin said gently: "It's okay, brother will find a way."
Jiang Jin laughed again, looking very happy: "Don't bother me, brother. I have already thought of a solution."
She pointed at Prince Wang and his wife.
"I thought about it, that formation can only stop ghosts, but not people. I just need to find a person, peel off his skin, and wear it on my body, then the formation won't be able to stop me, right?" She thought this method was very ingenious and laughed triumphantly again.
"It's just right. Although these two people don't look good, they are still good-looking. One for my brother and one for me." Jiang Jin clapped his hands happily. His eyes were filled with black mist, and he stared straight at the two people in front of him, as if he was looking at a delicious dish.
Prince Wang and his wife were so frightened by these words that they almost lost their souls!
What does this mean
They belatedly realized what was happening and looked down at the feet of the two people, and almost fainted on the spot: there was no shadow under the feet of the brother and sister!
"Ghost... Ghost!" Prince Wang was so frightened that his heart and liver were broken.
Whenever he thought about the fact that he had lived and eaten with this female ghost for two days, he was almost scared to death.
The two men turned around in a hurry and stumbled back.
"Hmph!" Jiang Jin snorted in dissatisfaction, and the gate of the palace slammed shut automatically. Young Master Wang, who was running backwards, felt that an invisible wall appeared in front of him. He bumped into it and was bounced away with a "bang", landing right at the feet of the brother and sister.
Jiang Jin squatted down, stretched out his hand with black nails, and gently touched Prince Wang's face.
She was a little dissatisfied when she touched him: "It's a pity for a good-looking person like my brother to use your skin."
Prince Wang, who understood the meaning of her words, burst into tears: "Yes, yes, I am ugly and not worthy of your brother. You should find someone who is good-looking."
Jiang Lin looked at the scene just now, and sure enough, Jiang Jin's resentment was heavier than Jiang Lin's. The evil ghost practiced with resentment, and just in terms of the strength to become an evil ghost, she was now much stronger than Jiang Lin.
"Ajin." He held his sister's hand helplessly, "Please stop."
Jiang Jin looked back at him in confusion and tilted his head: "Brother, are you going to stop me?"
When she said this, there was a smile on her lips, but a cold light flashed in her dark eyes.
She's not thinking straight now.
Although he still has his memories and remembers people, his behavior has been permeated with resentment, and his biggest goal is only revenge.
In order to get revenge, he would do anything.
No one can stop her, not even her beloved brother!
Jiang Lin felt like he was coaxing a child: "Of course not."
He pointed at Prince Wang and his wife who were lying on the ground, and said, "Look at these two people, they both look so ordinary. My brother doesn't like such faces. My Ah Jin is so beautiful, how can she use such ugly human skin."
Prince Wang and his wife had never been grateful for the fact that they were born so ordinary.
They just wish they could be uglier, with more rugged facial features being the best!
Hearing this, Jiang Jin looked at the two men with scrutiny. After a while, he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, they look a bit different."
Prince Wang and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
"But." Jiang Jin became irritated again, "I want revenge! I want to skin that old thief Chen Baian! I can't wait! It's okay to be ugly, just put up with it for a few days, and after I've taken revenge, I'll change to a better-looking one!"
The Wang prince and his wife had just put their minds at ease, and their worries became heavier again!
Jiang Lin laughed and coaxed her, "Don't worry, my brother said there is a way. Ah Jin doesn't have to wear ugly and smelly human skin, and can go and seek revenge on that old man."
Jiang Jin was suspicious: "Really?"
Jiang Lin nodded: "Of course, when has my brother ever lied to you?"
When Jiang Jin heard this, his face fell, and blood-red tears rolled down his cheeks. He felt very aggrieved: "Brother lied to me before, and said he would save me. Ah Jin waited for a long time, but that evil man took a knife and cut off my skin piece by piece. Ah Jin was in so much pain, I couldn't wait for my brother to come to find me."
Prince Wang and his wife were horrified and yet filled with sorrow when they heard this.
Although this evil ghost was scary, she still spoke to her brother like a naive and romantic little girl, which showed that she was also very well protected when she was alive.
Then I heard what she said, and it turned out that she was killed by someone who had her face peeled off alive.
He died so miserably, no wonder he became a ghost.
Jiang Lin touched his sister's head and comforted her: "It's just this once. I will never lie to you again."
He pointed at the couple still lying on the ground and said, "You know how painful it is to be skinned. Why do you want to skin others now? These two people didn't hurt us. We should just go find the people who hurt us, okay?"
Jiang Jin puffed up his face, obviously not very satisfied with what he said.
But when she looked up, she saw her brother smiling at her gently.
If I didn't want to, my brother wouldn't smile so beautifully.
She nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
Prince Wang and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Lin with gratitude: For the first time, they felt that a ghost was filled with the glow of compassion!
Jiang Lin pulled Jiang Jin and nodded apologetically to the two of them: "Sorry, I scared you two."
Prince Wang quickly shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, you are too polite!"
Jiang Lin added: "My sister and I came here, and I think the yin energy in the mansion is a bit too much, which may easily attract evil spirits."
He thought for a moment and took out a spiritual medicine from the space: "This is a top-quality spiritual medicine. You two can boil it into a potion and everyone in the mansion can drink a bowl. Then ask a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, and everything will be fine."
Prince Wang and his wife quickly expressed their gratitude.
Jiang Lin and Jiang Jin walked out of the palace gate, but saw an acquaintance standing against the wall.
It is the Qinling Mountains.
Qin Ling looked very unhappy.
He looked at Jiang Jin and asked Jiang Lin, "Is your sister the source of the resentment in the Chen Mansion?"
Jiang Lin frowned and looked at him: "Eavesdropping is not what a gentleman does."
Qin Ling said: "I just happened to be here."
His face still looked grim, and he was obviously disgusted by what he had just heard: "Under the emperor's feet, there are such inhumane things!"
As he spoke, he felt that Jiang Lin was incredible: "I finally know why you became a fierce ghost. But, you suffered such a tragic death, and you don't even have any resentment at all?"
Jiang Lin said: "Of course there is."
He curled his lips and laughed coldly: "But I am very clear-headed. Every wrong has its perpetrator. If I want revenge, I will look for those evil people. An unrelated person killed them, and their relatives turned to me for revenge. What is the difference between me and those evil people?"
Qin Ling stared at the pale evil spirit in a daze, and suddenly his ears turned red.
"You are the strangest ghost I have ever seen." he muttered.
They have all turned into evil spirits, so who would care about these things
Chen Mansion.
Chen Baian happens to have a day off today.
He promised a large sum of money, and today two masters of the Xuanmen sect came to his house. However, after just taking a look at his house, they just shook their heads.
One said: "This resentment has condensed into substance, which shows that it is an extremely powerful evil spirit. I am not well-trained and I am afraid I can't deal with it."
The other one looked at him meaningfully: "We in the Dao sect believe in cause and effect. If it was just an ordinary ghost, I would have taken it in, but this... Sir, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."
Chen Baian had an unpleasant look on his face, but he did not dare to offend these capable sorcerers, and politely escorted them out the door.
He asked the housekeeper beside him: "How is the lady?"
The housekeeper lowered his eyes and said, "Madam drank the medicine and fell asleep."
Master Chen rubbed his brows and said, "Okay, remember not to stop Madam's medicine, let her have a good rest."
The housekeeper felt a chill in his heart and said respectfully, "Yes, Master."
Seeing the housekeeper leave, Chen Baian sighed in his heart.
It is impossible to say that there is no affection between Jiang and his young couple.
However, the other party questioned him like a mad woman last night, and threatened to go to the government office in person to appeal for justice after dawn...
Now that the case has been closed, why create more trouble
Besides, how could a little woman like her shake the man behind the scenes
Even for Aying's life in her husband's family and Sanlang's future, he couldn't let Jiang be so impulsive.
Chen Baian thought apologetically in his heart: For the sake of the well-being of this family, it is better for Jiang to remain "sick".
Just at this moment, a servant came over with a note in his hand: "Master, a young man just came to the mansion and asked me to give this to you, saying that an old friend will visit you soon."
Old friend
Chen Baian looked at the post in the servant's hand, which seemed to be stained with some dirt, and felt that it looked familiar.
He took it and opened it.
Just one glance and it's like falling into an icy cave.
"Master!" The servant was frightened and quickly supported him. "What's wrong with you? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Chen Baian held his hand tightly, his face stiff, "No need, I'm just a little tired these days, just sit for a while. Pour me a cup of tea."
"Hey!" The servant quickly made him a cup of hot tea, and watched with fear as the master's hands were shaking as he held the cup, and he didn't even notice the scalding hot tea in his hands.
How could Chen Baian not be afraid
That post, that post...
He personally handed it over in the name of a birthday banquet for the young master of the Shangguan family, and gave it to two people in total.
One is his niece Jiang Jin, and the other is his nephew Jiang Lin.
The name written on the letter just now was Jiang Lin.
Maybe someone is just trying to be mysterious!
He forced himself to calm down: "Who sent the post? Where is the person?"
The servant replied cautiously, "He is a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing a green robe, and his appearance was ordinary, but his temperament and manners were excellent. I looked at him... I felt that he looked familiar."
Chen Baian became even more panicked after hearing this.
His nephew loved to wear green robes, and everyone who saw his demeanor praised him.
He stared blankly into space: Not only has that little bitch Jiang Jin come back, but even Jiang Lin is coming back to find him
But he was just selling a good thing, who knew that the man would be so cruel!
