I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"Huh? Dog food?"

"It means that you are still single!"

"Xing, why are you humiliating Xiaosheng!" Dong Sheng blushed.

"Pfft, hahaha!"

Su Ling almost slapped the table and rubbed his stomach.

Gu Ming said solemnly: "This is not humiliation, this is encouragement! You are now considered to be both talented and rich, so you should stop wandering around and start a family."

"Yes, if you don't have a family for a day, you will be a single dog for a day!"

He Yongliang took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

"you"

Dong Sheng picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

Then he said harshly: "Xiaosheng will start looking for tomorrow, and I don't believe he can't find a woman he likes."

"I've searched and searched, this time I have to keep my eyes open, and don't look for any weird women again."

Dong Sheng coughed a few times in embarrassment: "I know, I must find someone who knows everything this time."

Early the next morning, Gu Ming bid farewell and left, embarking on the journey to Gusu Mansion.

Nie Xiaoqian and Yu'er were reluctant to part and sent them outside the city.

Guobei County is about six or seven hundred miles away from Gusu Mansion. It usually takes two days to ride a horse, but it is difficult to say on foot. It takes more than ten days for ordinary people.

But Gu Ming's footsteps are fast, and he can travel at night, so he can easily walk two or three hundred miles a day.

Therefore, if you are lazy to ride a horse, you can relax and relax.

After two days of traveling, almost half of the journey was completed.

In the evening, I stepped into a small mountain market.

After turning around, I found that there was only a small inn and tavern in the market.

Gu Ming stepped in and asked a man who looked like a shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you still have food and drinks and vacant rooms?"

"There are some."

"Then come and order wine and food as you like, and open a room."

"Guest officer, please wait"

The shopkeeper responded and hurriedly turned and walked towards the kitchen.

After a while, a plate of peanuts, cut meat and a jug of wine were brought over.

"Guest officer, please take your time, if there is not enough food, please tell me."

"Um"

Gu Ming responded, and began to drink by himself.

Just after drinking a glass of wine, a woman whimpered and cried from the inner hall.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but frowned, and hurried into the inner hall.

After a while, he came out again, and smiled apologetically at Gu Ming: "Sorry, I interrupted the guest officer for a drink."

"It's okay." Gu Ming waved his hand.

At this time, a woman walked out of the inner hall and said to the shopkeeper: "Go and persuade that dead girl again, she said she doesn't want to marry."

"Ugh!"

The shopkeeper sighed and walked into the back hall again.

As a result, the crying in the inner hall became louder and louder.

"Pitiful"

There was also a man in the shop, who had been drinking in suspense at first, but now he shook his head and sighed, picked up his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The shopkeeper and his wife came out together again, looking sad.

"The head of the family, what should I do? The person who welcomes the bride will arrive soon, but this girl is crying and not marrying, and she can't persuade her."

"That can't be helped, I have to tie her to the sedan chair"

"Hey, when will this hard life end?"

The drinking man sighed again.

At this moment, Gu Ming sensed something was wrong, and couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper, what's the matter? Isn't getting married a happy event? Why is your daughter crying all the time?"

It is normal for girls to cry for a while before they get married, and it is a long-standing custom to show that they are reluctant to leave their natal family.

But this girl is too good at crying, she is crying so sadly before the sedan chair arrives, maybe there is something hidden?

"This"

The shopkeeper frowned, as if he had something to hide.

The woman sighed at Gu Ming: "Guest officer, it's better not to inquire, I'm afraid it will make you feel uneasy."

In the end, the drinking man turned around, looked at Gu Ming and said, "Little brother, you are from out of town, so you must have never heard of the strange things we do here."

"What strange thing?"

"The ghost king snatches a kiss!"

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help being surprised: "The ghost king snatched the marriage? Is this a legend or something?"

"It would be great if it was a legend." The man smiled wryly and shook his head.

At this time, a special task prompt popped up in Gu Ming's mind:

Eliminate local ghosts

Complete the task, reward points 60

60 points?

Gu Ming couldn't help being startled.

According to previous experience, the more points rewarded, the higher the difficulty of the task.

However, why not earn points if you have points?

Now that the system has released the task, it means that there must be ghosts here!

So, Gu Ming had a thought in his mind at the moment, and took over the task.

"Don't talk about Shuanzi, don't frighten this guest officer."

Gu Ming smiled and said: "It's okay, I always like to hear these anecdotes the most, can you tell me about the ghost king's snatching of the marriage in detail?"

The man took another sip of his wine, seemed to be full of resentment, and slammed the table: "I just hate that I don't have the ability to catch ghosts and subdue demons, otherwise I would have killed that bastard long ago."

As soon as the words came out, the shopkeeper and his wife both changed their colors and exclaimed: "Shuanzi, don't talk nonsense!"

"What's wrong with scolding it? At worst, you will die. If you become a ghost, you may have a chance to avenge Ajuan."

Hearing this, Gu Ming vaguely guessed some reasons.

Presumably Ajuan died at the hands of the ghost king, and there must be a relatively close relationship between Ajuan and the man, that's why he was so angry.

"Shuanzi, I know you can't let go of A Juan, but that's all, don't mention these past events."

"Yeah, Shuanzi, you have to think about yourself and the big guys. Everyone will have a hard time if you offend the ghost king."

The man smiled coldly: "Could it be that everyone's life is easier now? If it's easier, why doesn't Xiaocui want to marry?"

"This"

The shopkeeper and his wife were speechless for a moment.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the store became extremely depressing.

I don’t know if Qidian Reading has a convulsion. I can see the chapters of book friends in the writer’s assistant background, but when I open Qidian Reading, there are no VIP chapters that are mainly released recently. Let me explain here, I didn’t delete them.

In short, I would like to thank the friends who enthusiastically voted for the monthly ticket and recommended the ticket, I love you!

Chapter 122 I'm Going!

Now that he has taken over the task, Gu Ming will naturally persevere in inquiring about the news.

Therefore, he simply brought the food and wine to Shuan Zi's table, and asked the shopkeeper to cut two more plates of meat to serve the wine.

After Shuanzi's narration, Gu Ming finally figured out the whole thing.

This ghost king appeared about five or six years ago, and has been entrenched in the mountainside not far from the town.

Different from other evil spirits, this guy has a bit of a brain, understands the truth that rabbits don't eat grass by the side of their nests, and generally won't hurt nearby people for no reason.

This is not to say that it is kind-hearted. In fact, looking at it from another angle, it is almost equivalent to a kind of behavior of raising pigs.

It's hard to tell the merchants who pass by here. Once they miss the time to stay and walk outside, they may become delicacies for the King of Ghosts and his subordinates.

Although the ghost king will not harm the local people for no reason, all the people still hate him to the bone.

Because this guy doesn't know whether it's a bad taste or a strange hobby: he likes to be a groom.

Therefore, he ordered all the people that no matter whose family gets married, the marriage must be held at night.

Violators, die!

The reason why it is arranged at night is precisely to make it easier for it to snatch a kiss.

Moreover, the wedding party was also restricted to carry the sedan chair to a forest in Fengming Mountain.

This mountain is exactly where the ghost king and his subordinates are separated.

When robbing the bride, it will send its subordinates to take the bride away with the sedan chair, and send it back to the original place at dawn.

After snatching the bride back, you have to worship with it first, and then you can guess what will happen with your feet.

In short, this guy has had enough of being a bridegroom.

It is happy, but the people are miserable.

Especially for the real bridegroom and bride, how frightening, embarrassing, and embarrassing is this?

However, it cannot be a reason for not marrying or not marrying for life.

Ever since, some people began to think of countermeasures.For example, greet relatives quietly, do not hold banquets if they do not visit the hall, and take people home and sleep in a quilt, which saves the cumbersome links of welcoming relatives, visiting halls, etc., and goes straight to the topic.

In the beginning, this method really deceived the sky.

But after a little longer, the ghost king noticed something tricky, and in a rage, Lei Ting personally led a group of subordinates to retaliate, massacring several couples who had married quietly in public, including their relatives.

He also said that the next time someone dares to do this, more people will be implicated.

As a result, all the people were terrified, and no one dared to get married in private anymore.

After a long time, everyone will become numb. Anyway, every family has the same experience. Is it possible that who will laugh at who will not?

Some school-age men and women who really couldn't bear it simply ran away from home.

But not everyone can leave their homes. Since they can't avoid it or resist it, they can only bear it silently.

Shuan Zi also experienced such humiliation.

But he never thought that A Juan might be overly frightened, and after passing through the door, she remained in a daze, losing weight day by day.

He passed away without a sound in less than two months.

Ajuan's death hit Shuanzi hard, and she vowed to find a way to eliminate the ghost king and avenge her dead wife in her lifetime.

For this reason, Zeng Bian, a seller, collected some money and invited an expert to kill the ghost king.

As a result, the so-called expert never appeared again as soon as he entered the mountain, and he didn't know whether he slipped away with the money or was wiped out by the ghost king.

"Now I live day by day, I only hate myself for being incompetent and unable to protect Ajuan"

When he said this, Shuanzi's face was full of tears, he didn't even need the wine glass, he grabbed the jug and poured it into his mouth.

Gu Ming asked suddenly: "Do you want revenge?"

"Ok?"
