[Comprehensive] Short-lived ghost

The weather was getting colder, and it was going to be the twelfth lunar month of winter. Hong Luan took out the cotton coat and trousers that He Fang had sewed early in the morning. In order to make the clothes light and comfortable to wear, Hong Luan chose chicken feathers and duck feathers as cores. , Hong Luan started saving chicken and duck feathers early in the morning, and stuffed them into cotton clothes after washing and drying them without any peculiar smell.

Hong Luan's craftsmanship is nothing to say, but He Fang has grown taller this year, and Hong Luan temporarily changed the length of his clothes, and finally let He Fang change into new clothes before the cold weather.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. This year, Wang Ziteng is sent to other places, and he may not be able to come back in time for the new year.

Wang Ziteng was appointed by the emperor to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the deficit of public funds by local officials. Building a palace for the emperor to rest and embezzling public funds to make up for the vacancy is also the default of the late emperor, but no one will say that the late emperor is wrong, they can only say that your local officials are incompetent and empty the national treasury.

The current emperor is the most filial person. His mother, the Empress Dowager, suffers from swollen knees in winter, and the pain is unbearable. The imperial doctors are helpless. Hearing that soaking in hot springs can relieve bone pain, the emperor wants to build a hot spring in the suburbs of the capital. Therefore, it is definitely not enough to just have an open-air pool, and another palace must be built.

The emperor's filial piety immediately decided that the palace must be repaired, and it would be repaired soon. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry combined the cost of the construction. After the palace was completed, there would be very little money left in the treasury.The Minister of the Household Department ran to cry to the emperor that he was poor, but the emperor had no choice but to use his own small treasury.

The money flowed out like water, and the emperor who came back felt that he, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, was too aggrieved. He gritted his teeth and decided to clean up the mess left by the former emperor, so that the local government would spit out the money and fill it up. treasury.

Wang Ziteng was appointed by the emperor as an imperial envoy to investigate cases in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was also given a Shangfang sword, which can be cut first and played later. The scenery is endless, but Wang Ziteng knows that this task is difficult.

When Wang Ziteng went to the place, he was so busy that he dealt with the local officials every day. Seeing that the New Year was coming, Wang Ziteng thought of his wives, concubines and children in the capital. Going to finish the job.

On the way back to Beijing, I mistakenly thought that I had a cold, so I asked a local doctor to prescribe the medicine, but it didn’t improve. When I arrived in the capital, my condition worsened and I fell into a coma. The team stopped at the post station outside the city. The imperial doctor was sent to make a diagnosis and treatment. The imperial doctor reported that Prince Teng had typhoid fever, which was a serious infectious disease.

It has been three days since He Fang knew about this incident. In the original book, Wang Ziteng died suddenly due to illness by mistakenly taking medicine.

He Fang went to the post station to meet Wang Ziteng. The station was surrounded by officers and soldiers. Except for the imperial doctor and servants who served, no one else was allowed to enter, and those who entered, unless Wang Ziteng recovered from his illness, they would all be executed as suspected infected persons.

He Fang did not go in blatantly, but sneaked in at night. Wang Ziteng took the medicine and no longer drowsy, but the high fever persisted and his face was flushed. It is a mortal body, birth, old age, sickness and death are common occurrences, even Brother Thumb can't cure my illness, it seems that my life is really not long."

"You can start over in another world." He Fang said easily.

Wang Ziteng shook his head, "If I can get rid of this physical body, it will be broken, but I still can't open the entrance to the next world, the emperor's minister, am I not the emperor's minister, why is my mission accomplished? ?”

Where did he look, and waved to him, asking him to come closer, "I have something important to tell you, please listen to me."

He Fang hesitated for a moment, and approached him.

Wang Ziteng reached out and grabbed He Fang's left hand as quickly as lightning, a burst of electricity entered He Fang's body, and He Fang's thoughts urged him to dissolve this force in his body, but on the surface he pretended to be unable to move.

Seeing Wang Ziteng, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "As long as I absorb your smart guard, even if I can only increase one level, I can also obtain a body that is invulnerable to all diseases. Although your level is too low, it is a pity to absorb it now." , but time waits for no one, my obedient son, obediently hand over your ring, I will not kill you, when I arrive in the next world, all my wealth in this world will be left to you."

"Do I have any other options?"

"Hehe, this is your only choice. Although I am sick now, I am still stronger than you. This is the difference in level. Don't resent me. It is only because you are weaker than me. Now let me untie the relationship between you and me." The connection of the ring, if I grab it by force, it will not be good for you."

He Fang laughed, knocked off his hand with his backhand, and slapped his chest with a palm. Wang Ziteng spat out a mouthful of blood, "You..."

"In your current state, I can easily kill you even without using my abilities." He Fang stretched out his left hand, and a ball of flames instantly wrapped his palm.

"Impossible, you are hiding your strength?" Wang Ziteng clutched his chest and fell back on the bed, panting with difficulty.

"I am more tolerant than you, and I will give you two choices. One is to hand over the smart guard now, and you can still survive for a few days. The second is to set fire to your house and take the smart guard away after you die."

"I underestimated you, take the things away."

He glanced at Wang Ziteng, and saw that Wang Ziteng closed his eyes tightly, as if he had completely given up resisting and couldn't bear to look at him.

He Fang took off the jade wrench on his thumb, and was not in a hurry to absorb it. He picked up the jade wrench, looked at it, and laughed, "There is still your imprint on it, it seems that you still left a hand."

Others may not be able to see it, but He Fang's spiritual power is higher than that of Wang Ziteng, so he can easily see through his tricks. There is an invisible line between the jade finger and Wang Ziteng. Although he has a body, he can still be controlled by him. If He Fanghou hastily absorbs the smart guards, it is still unknown who will absorb the two smart guards of the same level.

Wang Ziteng opened his eyes to look at him, and laughed: "I admit defeat, but I won't take the initiative to disconnect. If you can't wait, kill me first."

He Fang turned the hand holding the jade wrench finger, and when he opened his palm again, the jade wrench finger had disappeared.

Wang Ziteng felt that the connection between him and the jade finger was suddenly disconnected. He looked where he was looking, and only showed a clear expression when he saw the rosary on his wrist.

"You're just luckier than me. If it weren't for this disease, if you compete seriously, it's not certain who will win."

"Since I got your baby, I have to repay you." He Fang took out a prescription from his arms and put it next to Wang Ziteng's pillow. "This is a folk remedy for typhoid fever. It may be useful. Don't thank me. Goodbye." After speaking, he jumped out of the window and left.

Half a month later, Wang Ziteng recovered from his illness and returned to Beijing to hand in an errand. Although there was still a big gap between the money recovered and the actual situation, the money relieved the emptiness of the national treasury in time. He wanted to be promoted and his salary increased, but Wang Ziteng asked himself to return to his hometown. He was only in his 40s, and Wang Ziteng wanted to retire early. The emperor naturally refused. , I am afraid that I will not have a few years to live, so it is better to enjoy my old age in advance.

The emperor couldn't help being moved by a confession of true feelings from the heart. He allowed him to retire and return to his hometown, and gave him many rewards so that he could return to his hometown in Jinling with great glory.

Wang Ziteng unloaded his errands, packed his luggage, brought his wife, sons and grandchildren, servants and attendants, a large family of dozens of people, and was going to Jinling in a few days. Before leaving, Wang Ziteng invited He Fang to a farewell banquet.

When the song ended, Wang Ziteng and He Fang had some personal words.

"I have experienced five lifetimes, and every day when I wake up, I always think about who I am. In fact, I am afraid from the bottom of my heart. I am afraid that when I open my eyes, I will pass through a new world and become a complete stranger. To miss my family in the last world, you see, I have so many family members here, some I love and some love me, my heart is not strong enough, so I have not been able to open the door to the new world, I can see Well, you are different from me."

He Fang raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you want to say that I am lonely."

"No, seeing that you have trained your body to such a terrifying level in just one year, you know that your mind is determined enough and you are cruel enough to yourself."

"Since you know you will leave, why do you want to have fetters with people in this world?"

"You won't understand. Humans live in groups. If a person has no lover, relatives, or friends, how can he survive in the world? It's too lonely to be alone." Wang Ziteng sighed.

"Oh, you mean I'm cold and heartless by nature."

Wang Ziteng laughed, "I dare not blame you now, you can kill me with one punch." Wang Ziteng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Maybe we won't have a chance to meet again in the future, take care .”

Prince Teng left and settled down in the former residence of Jinling. He would occasionally write a letter, writing in a showy tone, my youngest son is married, come to have a wedding; my youngest daughter is married, come to have a wedding; Four grandchildren are full moon, come to have wedding wine; my third granddaughter is full moon, come to have wedding wine.

All in all, you are full of children and grandchildren, as if you are always reminding where you are, you are a loner, a loser in life.
