Hundred Ghosts

After rushing for five days, he finally returned to the capital city. For a while, Lin Zi felt a little complicated. When he left here, it was still snowing heavily. Now that he came back, it was already March... no, it was April.

It is estimated that they were found, but there were no arrest warrants in the capital.

He was sent to the palace, but He Huai was pushed into the prison again. The little emperor stood at the door of his bedroom and stretched his neck to look at him. Seeing him coming, he sweetly took his arm and carried him inside.

"Brother Taoist, I finally found you!" The little emperor smiled.

Lin Zi looked embarrassed, and sat a little further away from him, "Well, Your Majesty, you have grown taller."

"I'm growing up now." The little emperor said pitifully, "Brother Taoist, if you accompany me, you will be able to witness my growth."

Lin Zi was disgusted, who wants to witness your growth?

"Brother Taoist has lost a lot of weight, presumably he has suffered a lot?" His eyes shuddered, "It's all He Huai's fault, I will never forgive him!"

When Lin Zi heard this, his heart was almost frightened, and he knelt down in front of the little emperor with a "plop", "Your Majesty, please don't do anything to General He... No, He Huai did it. The poor man's survival is all due to him!"

"Huh? Brother Taoist, do you mean to favor him?"

"Absolutely not!"

Lin Zi's heart skipped a beat, let's make it up.

"Pindao was actually taken away by ghosts."

"what?"

Lin Zi continued to make up, "On that night, Pindao saw that the light in the corner of the room suddenly went out, but there was no window next to it, where did the wind come from?"

The little emperor shrank his neck and swallowed, "And then?"

"Pindao walked over to have a look, the emperor guess what the poor way saw?"

"What do you see?"

Lin Zi was taken aback, "Pindao saw a figure in that corner!"

"what--"

"Then Pindao felt that he couldn't move his body, and the shadow on the wall changed into an evil ghost!"

"My God, my God..."

Lin Zi glanced at him secretly, "The hungry ghost said I looked delicious, but this is the imperial palace, blessed with dragon veins, it's not convenient for him to eat, so I'll take Pindao to another place!"

"and then?"

"That evil spirit is very big, with blue face and long fangs. It said I was too thin to fit between its teeth, and it wanted to catch another person to eat. I was afraid that it would hurt the emperor, so I told it that there were many people in the prison."

"I just had a flash in front of my eyes, and it took me to the sky jail! Just in front of He Huai's prison, He Huai called my name, and was noticed by the evil ghost, who also arrested He Huai Come here, it said to find a quiet place to eat, anyway, our eyes were dazzled, and we were taken to a strange place for some reason."

"So... how did you escape?"

"This," Lin Zi scratched his hair in distress, how should we weave it now?

Have it.

"I have talismans on me, so I gave those talismans to He Huai. He was superb in martial arts, and when the evil spirit opened his mouth, he stuffed the talismans into his mouth, and the evil spirit wailed in pain and died."

"Wow!" The little emperor exclaimed.

Lin Zi took the opportunity to say, "Otherwise, such a good life in the palace would be poor, why do you have to go out and wander?"

"You're right."

Lin Zi sighed again, "On the way, we both rushed to the capital with all our might, thanks to He Huai, otherwise the poor man would have died long ago, and He Huai is the great benefactor of the poor man! Please forgive him."

The little emperor thought for a while, "Okay, since the Taoist brother has already spoken, how can I refuse, but..."

Lin Zi said out of conscience, "He Huai is loyal to the emperor and prays for the emperor every night before dinner. He is sincere to the emperor."

"Is what you said true?"

"Of course, of course, who is the emperor, how can a poor man deceive the emperor?" Lin Zi had the illusion that she was actually a concubine in the harem, blowing pillow wind in the emperor's ear in order to let her lover go...

"Then I will pardon his crimes and demote him to a commoner."

Lin Zi thought it was enough to be a commoner, and he would be freer when he was a commoner.

For the remaining few days, the little emperor left him in his bedroom and asked him to tell him stories. Lin Zi opened his mouth and shut up about ghost stories, making him want to hear them but dare not.

He Huai had also been sent back for several days, but he himself was still in the palace. The guards guarding the gate looked at him with strange eyes. When he went out for a walk, he even heard the maids talking about how he had charmed the little emperor with magic...

But who knew that the purpose of his coming to the palace was to tell ghost stories to the little emperor every day.

Noticing that he didn't look very happy these days, the little emperor asked him, "You don't seem to be very happy, whoever provoked you, I'll cut off his head."

Lin Zi: "..."

Even if there is, I dare not say it.

"No, it's just that Pindao wants to go back to the gym and have a look. I haven't gone back for a long time, and I don't know how the master and my little apprentice are doing."

The little emperor was thoughtful, but did not speak.

Lin Zi continued to work hard, "If you can't go back, you will feel very sad, if you are sad, you will get sick, if you are sick, you will get seriously ill, and you may die..."

The little emperor said hesitantly, "Then I will allow you to go back for a day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but it's only a day's work, and it's not enough for the poor Taoist to return to the Taoist temple. Hey, forget it, instead of spending time on the road, the poor Taoist might as well be like a master in the palace..."

"Okay then, two days."

"I heard that I don't have time to talk to the master and apprentices. Hey, Pindao really misses them so much."

"Okay then, three days, this is the maximum deadline, brother Taoist, you must come back in time!"

"Alright, my lord, goodbye my lord."

The moment he got into the carriage, he wished he could fly back now, and hated himself for not having wings.

But fortunately, the carriage was fast enough, and I returned to the Taoist temple in the evening. The master was still sitting at the door basking in the sun. Seeing him coming, I was still a little dazed for a while, "Lin...Lin Zi?"

Lin Zi knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Master, I'm back."

"I'm back...it's good to be back!" He hurriedly pulled Lin Zi up again, "By the way, don't just stand here, go help your apprentice!"

"Xiao Cai? What happened to him?"

"He ran off alone to catch a ghost!"

A ghost is a ghost who was a good and innocent girl who was framed and had to become a prostitute, and finally died of hatred. She has resentment towards men and often seduces/seduces men who have misbehavior, and the seduced men will gradually become emaciated like a dry bone...

It won't be long before... the sun will exhaust and die.

This kind of ghost is not very easy to deal with, and usually three or four brothers will go together.

Lin Zi's eyes darkened, "What? Alone? Nonsense! Where are the brothers and sisters, didn't they follow him?"

"He wouldn't let me, he insisted on going alone! His uncle definitely wouldn't let him go alone, so he locked him in the room and asked him to reflect. Guess what? He jumped over the wall and ran away in the middle of the night! You It's his master, he should listen to you, go and persuade him and bring him back."

"That kid is really..." Lin Zi said angrily, "Why are you messing around like this? Where is he, I'll chase him right now."

His master told him where Xiaocai was going, and Lin Zi immediately set off. He thought about it along the way, and felt that this matter might not be easy.

Because Xiaocai is a shy child, he usually listens to the words of his master and brothers, how could he be so stubborn this time?

That silly boy, he has only learned so much, and he dares to do it alone. When he is brought back, he must be asked to copy books, copy the Three Character Classic, and the Tao Te Ching!

The flamboyant ghost appeared on the outskirts of the north of the city. There was a dilapidated temple nearby. Lin Zi had to work hard to get there. Tonight, it was half a crescent moon, and the moonlight looked a little dim. Lin Zi's heart was in his throat.

What about Xiaocai?Wouldn't it have been caught by Yangui?

He also thought that he was only eleven or twelve years old this year, so what could Yangui do if he was caught?

"Xiaocai—where are you? Xiaocai—"

"Master..."

Lin Zi vaguely heard Xiaocai's voice, and clasped his hands together, a faint blue will-o'-the-wisp emerged from his palms.

The bright will-o'-the-wisp was very conspicuous in the dark, and it didn't take long for Xiaocai to find it, "Master! Are you back?"

Lin Zi slapped him on the head, "What do you mean by this, kid? What can you do by yourself? Have you learned all Taoism?"

"Master, I was wrong." He rubbed the back of his head shyly, "But Master, I must catch her personally."

"what happened?"

Xiaocai sighed and explained the cause and effect.

That flamboyant ghost was originally a young girl from a family down the mountain. She came to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings a few months ago. Because of her good looks, Xiaocai paid more attention to it.

More than a month ago, her uncle, who was an official in the court, made a mistake and was punished by hanging. The men of the three clans were exiled to the frontier, and the women were slaves. She was good-looking and was bought by a rich man. I went back and became a concubine, but Fu Jia's wife was rather ruthless. After making a fuss, Fu Jia couldn't accept her anymore, so he sold this thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl to a brothel!

After all, she was still living a ladylike life before, she couldn't bear this insult for a while, and fell seriously ill, and the old bustard didn't ask the doctor to save her, and let her continue to receive/guests, but died on the bed, and was thrown into the In a mass grave.

A week ago, a man passed by here, and after returning home, his face gradually withered, and his family noticed something was wrong, so they brought him to the Taoist temple. When they asked him, they knew that he had met a ghost.

He knew a little bit of brush and ink, so he drew the appearance of the erotic ghost. He was shocked, and after a little inquiring, he knew that it was indeed the little girl.

"Master, I know that I haven't mastered my skills, but I really can't let Shishu and the others come, they will definitely wipe her out."

"This kind of ghost kills people, what else do you want if you don't get rid of it?"

"But it's too pitiful. Wouldn't it be better if she could put down her hatred and reincarnate?"

Lin Zi sneered, "Ghosts are not human, how can they think so much? You, a fool who can't speak clearly, dare to fight? She can swallow you in an instant, do you believe it?"

He shrank his neck and didn't speak.

"Life is a matter of life, don't think too much about it, if she can let go of her hatred, that's the best, but if she can't, she must be killed!"

"But Master..."

"She died miserably during her lifetime, but aren't those people who died at her hands pitiful? As a teacher, I know you have a good heart, but a good heart should not be used in this place."

"Then... that's fine."

They were talking, when suddenly there was a thin sound of bells coming from the wind.

It's better to go back and talk about teaching apprentices, and get rid of that flamboyant ghost first.

After a while, an extremely charmingly dressed girl came over. She didn't wear shoes, and there were silver bells tied on her jade feet, which looked very alluring.

"Are the two young masters waiting for the servants?"

"That's right," Lin Zi said, "Girl, why don't you wear shoes? Don't your feet hurt?"

She didn't expect Lin Zi to have such a reaction. She was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled charmingly and raised her seductive eyes at him, "Master, my feet hurt so much, can you give me a massage?"

Lin Zi remained expressionless, "No, what if you have smelly feet?"

"..."

Xiaocai couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Is the young master teasing the slave family?"

Lin Zi didn't care about it, "Don't dare, I'm telling the truth."

"you!"

He turned around Yangui, "A little girl, what do you look like dressed up? Did someone hit your eyes? See how black your eyes look? The powder on your face almost made you lose your I choked to death. Looking at what you are wearing, is your family poor? There are so few fabrics?"
