Hundred Ghosts

"Shut up!" The Second Highness stopped Lin Zi.

Does this kid want to die?

"Brother Taoist, you made a mistake, go back and rest."

Lin Zi calmed down, "Thank you Your Majesty for not killing me."

"How come? I won't hurt brother Taoist." The little emperor smiled awkwardly.

Without saying anything, Lin Zi turned around and left.

He thought for a long time, but he still couldn't stay here, the little emperor's favor for him was only temporary... If one day he really messed with him, the fate would not be better than those two people who were sad in Yasha's mouth.

Better get out of here sooner.

Lin Zi packed up his things and prepared to bid farewell to the little emperor when he came back.

After coming down to the court, the little emperor still felt a little wronged in his heart. The Taoist elder brother was so ruthless that he helped others but didn't help himself, which made him lose face in front of those old guys.

After eating, he played hide-and-seek with several concubines and maids in the harem. If the concubines lost, they would take off a piece of clothing, and if the concubines lost, they would chop off a finger.

After chopping off No. 13 fingers, he also felt a little bored, but he still didn't want to go back to the bedroom to see Lin Zi. He ran around the imperial garden and kicked an eunuch into the pond and didn't allow him to show his head. He felt bored again. up.

It's still interesting to listen to the story told by the Taoist brother.

He thought, why not give in first?

No, no, I'm the emperor, I can't give in first, I have to ask the Taoist brother to apologize first!

Otherwise, he won't give himself face in the future.

After dinner, he was still thinking about this matter. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the accompanying eunuch was a little anxious, so he asked him, "It's getting late, does the emperor want to go to bed first?"

"No, if Brother Taoist doesn't apologize to me, I won't go back."

"Hey, Your Majesty, in case Daoist Lin wants to apologize to you, he is waiting for you in the bedroom!"

The little emperor's eyes lit up, "That's right, what if brother Daoist is about to apologize to me! Then I have to go back quickly, go, go..."

"Oh, Your Majesty, you have to slow down..."

He rushed to the bedroom in a hurry, opened the door and saw that Lin Zi was carrying a small bag of things and his mahogany sword, as if he was about to leave, the smile froze on his face.

"Brother Taoist, you are..."

"Your Majesty, Pindao has no more stories to tell, please let the Emperor let him go back."

"Didn't the Taoist brother just go back?" He forced a smile, "No matter how you say it, you have to stay for a few more months, right?"

"Your Majesty, Pindao really wants to go back now."

"Okay then... When is Taoist brother going to come back? Can tomorrow be okay?" The little emperor didn't realize that his voice had softened a lot.

"Not coming back." Lin Zi shook his head, "Your Majesty, Pindao will never come back again."

Fear strangled his chest like an octopus, and he felt he couldn't breathe, "Why? Brother Taoist, did I treat you badly? What do you want? Can I give you everything? Don't go, can you?"

It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't go back to the bedroom all day today, and the imperial chef delivered the food directly to him, so Lin Zi probably didn't deliver it. Did he go hungry all day?

"Brother Taoist didn't eat all day today? Is he angry because of this? Zhen... This made people chop off the imperial chef, and blame the imperial chef!"

"Your Majesty, this is not about the imperial chef." Lin Zi said, "Poverty is not so stingy."

In fact, Lin Zi almost fainted from hunger at noon, but he was not hungry anymore...

"The Taoist brother why did you leave?"

"It's not suitable for poor people."

"Why isn't it suitable? It is suitable. If I say it is suitable, it is suitable!"

"Your Majesty, don't make trouble anymore." Lin Zi frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with me?" The little emperor suddenly sneered, "Anyway, you don't want to leave here, you die here, and I won't let you go."

Lin Zi nodded, "If this is the emperor's intention, then the poor will know."

"What do you know?"

Lin Zi shook his head.

I thought that Lin Zi was just angry with himself, and he would be fine after a while, but he didn't care about himself for a few days, but what was more serious was that he didn't eat.

Lin Zi, who had been hungry for five consecutive days, lost a lot of weight. Because he only drank water and didn't eat, he felt more and more in a trance. He always felt sleepy, but he didn't feel hungry.

In the first two or three days, he was still so hungry that he wanted to eat the cabinets in the room, but he didn't feel hungry these two days, his body was weak, and his mind was in a trance. He knew that the situation was not very good.

Maybe even this is the omen before his death.

The little emperor is still supporting him, if he gives up this time, he will never be able to leave the palace in his life.

If he wins, he will be free for the rest of his life.

I shouldn't have saved him in the first place...

Lin Zi thought silently in her heart.

After saving him, you shouldn't put on a good look at him.

The little emperor was in a hurry. If Lin Zi lost his temper or something, it was okay, he could spend it with him, but if he didn't eat, it would be a big problem.

He asked the imperial doctor to come over to show him, and the imperial doctor said that if he continued to starve to death like this, it would be a matter of time.

He also got the group of people in the Taoist temple to threaten him. He said that if the people in the Taoist temple were hurt a little, he would risk his life to kill himself.

The little emperor was also helpless, he actually didn't want Lin Zi to hate him, he even regretted letting those two people feed Yasha.

To be precise, he regretted feeding Yasha in front of him.

"Eat something." The little emperor sat on the bed with the meal himself.

Lin Zi shook his head wearily.

The little emperor was so angry that he threw the bowl on the ground, "Don't you want to die?"

Lin Zi said hoarsely, "It seems so."

"Then you will die here!" The little emperor said one after another, "If I say I won't let you out, I won't let you out, but don't worry, I will prepare the best coffin for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

These words made the little emperor turn his head and leave.

The imperial doctor wanted to say something behind him, but the little emperor said viciously, "Don't come here in the future, if he wants to die, no one can stop him."

The imperial doctor behind him could only sigh and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Zi misses He Huai a little bit, no, he probably misses him very much, it would be fine if he didn't come back, and follow him, wherever he goes.

In the middle of the night, Lin Zi felt someone pushing his shoulder, and when he opened his eyes, it was He Huai!

"Wake up, wake up quickly... are you awake?" He Huai's eyes were red, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Lin Zi almost cried, "I thought I'd never see you again..."

"It's okay, I'm here to take you away this time."

He Huai was also distressed, because he missed Lin Zi and wanted to know how Lin Zi was doing, so he got a small pagoda tree branch and stuck it in the door of the palace, and then heard the words that the little emperor told him to die here...

He wished he could run over and get Lin Zi away immediately, but the life of fleeing was too difficult, like a rat crossing the street, he would hide from everyone.

He then went to find Lin Zi's master Master Qing Cheng, he also considered that the apprentice's condition was not very good, and no one picked him up.

Master Qingcheng also made a puppet for Lin Zi, and there are several types of techniques to hate victory, some can be used to curse people to ruin their fortunes, some can be used to avoid illness and disaster, some can deceive ghosts, and some can deceive people.

He groped around on Lin Zi's bed, found a few hairs, and made a puppet out of those hairs.

"Look, this is it."

"This is..." Lin Zi knew the puppet art, but unfortunately he hadn't had time to learn it from his master.

"Is there that little emperor's hair here?"

"This is his bedroom. I slept in the outer room of his bedroom. He is still sleeping inside."

"That's easy to handle."

He Huai walked through the door, squatted beside the little emperor, and pulled out two hairs of him.

Not only did he want to pull out his hair, but he also wanted to twist his neck. Fortunately, he came in time. If Lin Zi really died here, he would let him know how his father died in the first place.

The little emperor who was still asleep only felt a pain in his scalp, and slowly opened his eyes, but there was no one around.

He couldn't fall asleep when he opened his eyes. He sat on the bed for a while, thought for a while, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked lightly to Lin Zi's room.

He was so unbelievably quiet in his sleep, he sat next to Lin Zi, and carefully stretched out his hand to touch his face.

After touching it, his whole body froze, his face was as cold as a living person, he hurriedly lifted his quilt, and pressed his face against his chest.

There is no heartbeat.

Fingers under his breath.

Also breathless.

Lin Zi is really dead?

He was just talking casually... he didn't really want him to die.

"Come on! Looks like someone!"

When the imperial doctor arrived, the little emperor was crying so hard that they stared at each other, not knowing what happened.

"Come here quickly and see if there is any help..."

Several imperial doctors also looked confused, there was no one on the bed, "Your Majesty, this..."

The accompanying eunuch in charge saw the puppet doll on the bed and the open window, thought that Lin Zi was a Taoist priest, and suddenly understood something, and hurriedly coughed twice to interrupt the imperial doctor's words.

He knelt in front of the little emperor, "Your Majesty, since Daochang Lin has gone, let him go with peace of mind, the dead are the greatest!"

Although the other imperial physicians didn't know why, they also relied on the chief steward's words. Usually, the little emperor was arrogant and unreasonable. He wanted to cut off someone's head, but the chief eunuch stopped him with good words, so he had to follow his words and say, "Yes, Your Majesty. , the dead are the greatest!"

"I didn't want him to die..."

"The emperor has eyes on Daochang Lin's good servants. Daochang Lin will definitely understand. Instead of messing with Daochang Lin's body, it is better to let him go to the ground for peace. He will definitely remember the emperor when he is underground!"

Lin Zi, who had gone somewhere with He Huai, sneezed fiercely. The puppet his master made was written with his birthday and his hair, and then stuffed into someone else's hair. That person looked at the puppet like It's looking at yourself.

Thinking of this, he still had lingering fears. He Huai was still stuffing his hair, and the little emperor ran over. Fortunately, He Huai was fast and did not close the window when he came in, otherwise he would be caught by the little emperor.

By the way, they didn't seem to close the windows when they left...

"How are you feeling now?"

"It's okay." Lin Zi smiled, "I'm much more energetic now."

"It's good to be energetic. When we go out, I'll get you something to eat."

He Huai hugged him and ran to the imperial garden, and supported him against a tree, "Look what this is."

Lin Zi looked up, and it turned out to be a big locust tree.

"Did you move your body here?"

"No, when we settle down, I will move the main body to where we live."

"it is good."

"The guards in this palace are too strict. I can go, but if I carry you, I may cause some trouble."

But Lin Zi's focus is not on this, "I can go by myself."

"Okay, okay, but not now." He Huai shook his finger, "This time we have to use the Speedy Ghost."

Hearing about the speeding ghost, Lin Zi felt psychologically disturbed, "Isn't it?"

"It's okay, it's okay, the little emperor thought you were dead, so he won't want us everywhere anymore, let's live wherever we go."

For a moment, he felt that this idea was good, and Lin Zi nodded his head, "Okay."

"Lin Zi"'s body was hidden the next day, and the Taoist priest from his gym was invited to come along with a bunch of disciples.

The little emperor felt that Lin Zi was very pitiful. His master and brothers did not feel sad for his death at all. After singing the mourning, everyone ate better than anyone else...

You see, I'm still the best for you in the world.

He thought, if you knew the current situation, would you regret it?

The speeding ghost took them to a small village. The village was really dilapidated, and the surrounding trees were dry, as if it had experienced a drought for a long time.

They knocked on the door of a house, and the man seemed to want to close the door immediately when he saw them, but Lin Zi showed the money in time.

"You two, please come in."

He Huai explained the situation and asked him to take him and Lin Zi in for a night. For money's sake, he agreed.

He Huai asked him for some food, and he warmed up the porridge that he ate at night and brought it over.

The porridge was really watery, with a few grains of rice rolled under the white rice soup.

He said embarrassingly, "Our village is poor and we can only eat these things. Seeing that you spend a lot of money, you should be the children of a noble family. Please feel wronged."

He was not wronged at all, Lin Zi's stomach was just right for eating these things, he had been hungry for too long, and he was full after drinking half a bowl of soup.

He Lai was very worried, and said that he would still buy two chickens and radishes stewed clear soup for him tomorrow, and if he ate this little thing, he would starve to death sooner or later.

Then the daughter-in-law of that family said that her chicken was quite fat.

Then the poor chicken was slaughtered the next day, and it was stewed in a pot early in the morning until the meat was stewed, and the residue on the surface was brushed off with green vegetables.

Lin Zi was also very face-saving. He drank a big bowl full and ate two mouthfuls of porridge.

He Huai took a look around the village and found that the village was very evil. There were lush trees outside the village, but the trees in the village were bald!

He asked the host what was going on, and the host said, "Hmph, since last summer, it hasn't rained in my village... But it's a bad way, let me tell you, it rains outside the village very badly." It’s getting bigger, but the village doesn’t even touch a drop of rain, who knows what’s going on!”

Lin Zi stroked his chin and thought for a while, "According to what you said, your situation in the village seems to be..."

"What did you say?"

"It looks like a drought has come."

"Dry?"

The whole family was dumbfounded, "Isn't that something in the legend?"

Hanba is a legendary monster that can cause drought. It is transformed into a corpse within [-] days after death. The corpse of a dead person who becomes Hanba does not rot, no grass grows on the grave, and water seeps from the grave, because the ghost of Hanba will carry water to his home at night. .

"Yes...is that so?" After hearing Lin Zi's explanation, the host asked again, "Then is there any way to solve the drought?"

Lin Zi said, "It's simple. As long as the Hanba is burned, it will rain. You might as well think about who died in the first hundred days of that summer."

"There are quite a few dead! People in our village are buried in the back mountain. If you are not afraid, you can go and have a look."

"Just take a look," Lin Zi said, "If you see a grave seeping water, dig it down, drag the corpse out and burn it."

"Let me do this kind of thing," He Huai said, "You can just stay here."

In a blink of an eye, he hooked his shoulders on the male master again, "By the way, big brother, I will help your village solve the drought... What's the reward?"

He immediately sold his village head, "Our village head's chickens are the fattest. If you can really get rid of the drought and let it rain in our village, our village head will definitely be willing to give you his chickens." eat!"

"..."

"Right, one more thing."

"what?"

"You should call your village chief over. It's best to explain the situation to him first. We just dug someone's grave. What if someone's family comes over?"
