After lifting the lid of the coffin, I started hunting ghosts to make money

【Chapter 50】

"No matter how pitiful a ghost says, even if what it says is true, but don't forget, it is still a ghost. All ghosts in the world have only one purpose: to harm people."

"Is there really... no exceptions?"

"No."

Master replied decisively, without any hesitation in his voice.

Lu Zhaolu was silent.

The master looked at Lu Zhaolu seriously, and said: "You are too young now, and it is normal for you to be confused by ghosts for a while. When you reach Master's age, you will naturally be able to calm down, no matter what you face. All ghosts can't change their minds."

Lu Zhaolu: "...Yes."

The master stood in the study room, waved his hand to Lu Zhaolu, and said, "Go out, this time you are lucky, you have a teacher by your side. If there is another time, it is uncertain whether my life will be saved. "

Lu Zhaolu lowered his hands and said in a low voice, "disciple remembers", then bowed and stepped back slowly.

Since this time, Lu Zhaolu has been working harder and more diligently to learn talismans, draw arrays, and practice.

And, from this time on, when Lu Zhaolu saw the ghost again, no matter how clever the ghost was, how much it tried to coax him, he would never respond, and would mercilessly get rid of it.

...but it didn't last long.

In less than three months, Lu Zhaolu quickly forgot his master's advice, made an exception again, and softened his heart towards ghosts.

……

Lu Zhaolu's strength has improved rapidly. Three months ago, he could only follow closely behind his master, watching his master catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, unable to do anything.

But after three months of training, he was able to go down the mountain by himself and subdue some little ghosts on the road.

Because of this, the master wanted to let Lu Zhaolu go out to exercise more by himself, so he let him go down the mountain by himself with the talisman and treasures, and then went to the village to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.

This time, the night is hazy.

Everyone in the village has fallen asleep, but only Lu Zhaolu is still awake.

...Because ghosts don't appear during the day, and only come out at night.

Right now, Lu Zhaolu was wandering around the village carelessly, holding a compass in his hand.

He wandered back and forth in the village for nearly half an hour before a 'figure' finally appeared in the village.

Of course, it can also be called a ghost.

I saw a thin old ghost walking towards him slowly, and came in front of him.

The old woman raised her head and smiled kindly at him: "Why don't you go to bed so late at night?"

Lu Zhaolu didn't speak, he looked down at the crazily dangling pointer on the compass, and raised his eyebrows.

After confirming that the other party was indeed a ghost, he slowly took back the compass in his arms.

Then, his other hand reached into his chest, ready to take out the talisman.

But at this moment, the old woman smiled and said again: "It's so late, what should I do if I run into a thief? Even if I don't meet a thief, if I run into a ghost, wouldn't the young master be in danger?" gone?"

Lu Zhaolu paused.

Lu Zhaolu looked up at the old woman with a delicate expression.

...because she is a ghost.

The old woman finished talking slowly, and then asked: "I don't know where the young master lives? Although the old man is not in good health now, it's not a big problem to walk with the young master for a while..."

When Lu Zhaolu heard the sound, he was silent for a while.

He slowly withdrew his hand.

He wanted to see how this ghost planned to deceive him.

So Lu Zhaolu casually pointed in a direction.

Seeing this, the old woman smiled and said, "Ah... the young master lives there, so let's go."

Lu Zhaolu didn't return, and walked towards the direction he pointed with a blank expression.

Just as Lu Zhaolu expected, along the way, the old ghost kept talking in order to confuse him.

But what surprised Lu Zhaolu was that this old ghost, along the way, did not tell him how miserable he was when he was alive like other ghosts, and let him take pity on it and let him go.

This old ghost, along the way, actually told him to pay more attention to safety at night.

"Young master, don't go out so late in the future..."

"There are many thieves around here, if you are unlucky, you might run into them."

"The thieves around here are all extremely cruel, let alone women, even children."

"It's just that I didn't meet any thieves. The young master is so good-looking. What should I do if I meet someone with evil intentions?"

"Don't blame the old man for talking too much..."

Lu Zhaolu felt more and more puzzled when he heard the old woman muttering non-stop.

... Is she really a ghost?

Didn't Master say that ghosts always only harm people?But why did this ghost ask him to pay attention to safety?

Could it be that the compass is broken?

Lu Zhaolu frowned in thought.

While Lu Zhaolu was pondering, at this moment, the old woman who 'sent off' him for a while suddenly stopped.

Lu Zhaolu's eyes narrowed slightly.

She's finally going to do it?

Before Lu Zhaolu thought about it, he heard the old woman standing there panting, bending her body and drooping her waist.

She said in a difficult voice: "I'm getting old, I can't walk anymore... the rest of the way, young master can only walk by himself."

Lu Zhaolu was slightly surprised, and looked at her without blinking.

Lu Zhaolu asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to stay here like this?"

The old woman was slightly startled, smiled, and pointed to the left.

The old woman smiled and said, "Young master, don't worry, the old man's home is nearby..."

Lu Zhaolu looked in the direction the old woman pointed.

However, when he turned his head, he saw that the direction the old woman was pointing at was a pitch-black dense forest where he could not see his fingers.

Lu Zhaolu frowned instantly.

Probably guessing what Lu Zhaolu was thinking, the old woman said with a smile: "Although it looks dark inside, there are actually one or two families... the old family lives in there."

Lu Zhao's law is 'clear'.

After finishing speaking, the old woman slowly sat down from the ground and said, "Young master, let's go back first, I really can't walk anymore, so I can only send it here..."

After speaking, the old woman slowly sat on the ground.

Lu Zhaolu looked down at the old woman and asked, "Then how do you go back?"

The old woman sighed slightly, and said: "It's better to rest for a while, and when you are out of breath, you can grind it back slowly..."

Lu Zhaolu: "...Really."

Lu Zhaolu stared at the old woman for a moment.

He turned away.

He turned and walked a little way forward.

According to his expectation, if the meat that was about to get to his mouth suddenly slipped away, according to the nature of the evil spirit, he would definitely be unable to hold back.

Will definitely catch up immediately.

However... Lu Zhaolu walked forward for a long time, but he didn't feel the breath of the evil spirit chasing him at all.

Lu Zhaolu was puzzled and turned his head.

Turning around, I saw the old woman sitting on the ground without moving.

Lu Zhaolu frowned, and returned to the old woman's side again.

Lu Zhaolu frowned and asked, "Aren't you going after him?"

The old woman was taken aback, and asked, "Chasing? Is this what you want, young master?"

Lu Zhaolu didn't even think about it: "Aren't you a ghost?"

The old woman opened her eyes wide.

The old woman was silent for a moment, then sighed faintly.

The old woman said helplessly: "It turns out that the young master has already seen it..."

Lu Zhaolu didn't speak.

The old woman said softly: "Young master, don't worry, this old man never harms others. The old man really only appeared because he was worried about his safety."

Lu Zhaolu: "Really."

Seeing that Lu Zhao's law was not good, the old woman did not make any excuses.

The old woman looked up at the sky and said: "There are many little ghosts on this road. Although the old man never harms people, there is no guarantee that other little ghosts will not harm people... It's not safe at night, young master, let's go back earlier."

Seeing the sincerity of the old woman's expression, Lu Zhaolu finally became a little suspicious.

Lu Zhaolaw looked at the old woman for a while, and said, "Since you don't intend to harm anyone, then that's all."

After speaking, Lu Zhaolu planned to leave.

Unlike before, Lu Zhaolu is really planning to leave this time.

But at this moment, the old woman suddenly said, "That...young master, if it doesn't bother you, can you take me back?"

Lu Zhaolu frowned.

The old woman looked at the expression on Lu Zhaolu's face, pointed to the sky, and said, "It's almost dawn..."

Ghosts generally cannot see light.

Lu Zhaolu stood there and hesitated for a while.

The old woman looked sad and said: "It's normal for the young master to have doubts. If the young master doesn't want to, then he just said nothing..."

At the end of the old woman's speech, her voice became lower and lower, until it was almost inaudible.

Watching the sad expression on the old woman's face, finally, Lu Zhaolu's heart softened.

Of course, most of the reasons for this soft-heartedness were because the old woman kept telling him to pay attention to safety when she was on the road just now.

His master never told him that.

What his master told him the most was how to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.

So Lu Zhaolu asked, "Where is it?"

Immediately without thinking, the old woman pointed again in the direction she pointed just now.

The old woman laughed and said, "I do live here...but it's not a house, but a grave."

Lu Zhao's law is clear.

After the old woman finished speaking, she tried to get up from the ground.

But she struggled on the spot for a while, but couldn't get up from the ground.

So, without even thinking about it, the old woman stretched out her hand to Lu Zhaolu, and said softly, "If it's not troublesome...can the young master help the old man?"

Lu Zhaolu was silent and stepped forward.

Lu Zhaolu stretched out his hand, grabbed the old woman's hand, and pulled her up from the ground.

During this process, Lu Zhaolu was tense, always guarding against the old woman's sudden attack.

But unexpectedly, the old woman did nothing.

With the strength of Lu Zhaolu, the old woman slowly stood up from the ground.

After standing up, she smiled gently at Lu Zhaolu: "Young master is really kind..."

Lu Zhaolu kept a cold face and did not speak.

One person and one ghost walked into the forest one after the other.

Just like before, along the way, the old woman was still talking non-stop.

"If the old man is still alive, I really want the young master to sit at home and treat the young master to a cup of tea..."

"Young master has been so handsome since he was a child. If he grows up, he will definitely be very popular with those ladies..."

"There may be snakes in the woods at night, so remember to pay more attention when you walk, young master."

Naturally, Lu Zhaolu was still the same as before, without replying a word.

But the old woman didn't feel frustrated, and kept talking.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the old woman finally stopped.

The old woman stopped before a grave that had been dug up.

I saw that the tombstone was still standing in place, but the head of the tomb was pushed open by someone, revealing the wooden coffin buried inside.

The coffin lid was slightly opened, as if someone took something out of it and left.

Lu Zhaolu's face became a little ugly.

Lu Zhaolu stared at the dug-up grave and asked, "...tomb robber?"

The old woman shook her head.

The old woman said slowly: "Once the old man wakes up, it will be like this..."

The old woman looked sad.

Then, the old woman pointed to the slightly open coffin lid and said: "If the young master doesn't mind, can you cover the coffin lid for the old man? If it can be closed, maybe the old man will be at peace..."

Lu Zhaolu was silent for a while, then stepped forward.

He came to the grave, ready to cover the coffin for the old woman.

however……

Just when he was about to make a move, standing behind him in a direction he didn't see, the expression of the kindly smiling old woman suddenly changed.

The old woman stood behind Lu Zhaolu, smiling sinisterly.

Her eyeballs disappeared, and the lower half of her body disappeared.

Because she was cut in half and died as a result of capital punishment.

The old woman quickly raised her pale hands, and suddenly pushed Lu Zhaolu forward.

Lu Zhaolu was caught off guard, and was pushed directly into the grave like this.

And the slightly opened coffin lid quickly opened after Lu Zhaolu stepped into the grave, and then sucked Lu Zhaolu in.

Lu Zhaolu was imprisoned in the coffin alive like this.

After being locked in the coffin, Lu Zhaolu smelled a very strong smell of blood.

If it was just one person's blood, the bloody smell would definitely not be so strong.

So, obviously, he wasn't the first to be locked in.

Outside the coffin, the old woman was suspended in mid-air, staring at the direction of the coffin without blinking her empty eyes.

The old woman giggled, her eerie laughter echoing in the dark night.

"Hee hee hee hee... It's so easy to lie... It's so easy to lie... Ah, who are you going to lie to next?"

Lu Zhaolu's face darkened.

He reached out and tried to push the coffin lid, but he couldn't.

At the junction of the coffin and the coffin lid, there is a slight gap.

The bright moonlight at night penetrated through this gap.

Following the faint moonlight, Lu Zhaolu vaguely saw a baby lying on his lap.

The baby was full of evil spirits, with blood on his face, it was a dead baby with a strong evil spirit.

Then, the dead baby opened its eyes, and slowly crawled towards his chest along the direction of his legs.

At this time, Lu Zhaolu finally understood.

The old woman tricked people into coming here just to raise this dead baby.As for those words just now, they are all false and have only one purpose.

—to kill him.

……

Lu Zhaolu has already forgotten how to get rid of the old woman who was full of lies and the dead baby who was full of evil spirits.

He only remembered that after getting rid of those two ghosts, he almost died half of his life.

The dead baby is not like ordinary ghosts, because it is a ghost that died not long after birth, so the ghost aura on the dead baby is extremely domineering and fierce.

A dead baby is enough to equal seven ordinary ghosts.

And to kill a dead baby, at least three orthodox celestial masters are needed.

Lu Zhaolu was just a fledgling, and he subdued the two ghosts with his own strength. Although it was true that [-]% of his strength was in it, the remaining [-]% was basically due to luck.

Lu Zhaolu was very lucky to get rid of the two ghosts. After returning, he immediately went to see his master.

Lu Zhaolu was very puzzled: "That ghost clearly told me to be safe, but why is she the one who wants my life the most? She even told her disciples that if she is still alive..."

Before Lu Zhaolu could finish speaking, the master interrupted him.

The master asked slowly: "Do you know why a person who was honest and honest for three years before his death will become an evil ghost who only wants to take people's lives?"

Lu Zhaolu shook his head.

The master replied: "Because at the moment of death, all the memories of their life will disappear together. After the memory disappears, there is only one thought left in their minds: killing people."

Lu Zhaolu was stunned.

When the master finished speaking, there was a pause in his voice.

"However, there is another kind of ghost, which has memories of its own life. You are not very knowledgeable now, if you encounter this kind of ghost, you must remember to walk around."

Lu Zhaolu subconsciously asked: "Excuse me, Master, what the hell is that?"

The master's expression is solemn: "...It's a ghost. Most of this kind of ghosts are extremely wronged before death, so after death, they usually have deep obsessions. It will always remember the enemy who killed it, unless it takes revenge , it will never dissipate easily."

Lu Zhaolu didn't even think about it: "Can't we get rid of it?"

Master: "It's hard, it's hard to reach the sky. I have practiced Taoism for many years, and I can finally deal with a fierce ghost by myself. According to your way, if you encounter a ghost, you may only have a dead end. So, if you really encounter it , don’t be head-on, just run away.”

The young Lu Zhaolu was silent for a while, and then obediently replied yes.

……

A year later, he met Si Jiang.

But he didn't run.

Because at first he didn't recognize that Si Jiang was a ghost.

Si Jiang was extremely powerful at that time, not only could he walk with his real body in broad daylight, he could even hide his ghostly aura.

He was walking on the street in a plain robe, except for his handsome face, which was so outstanding that he was not like a real person, the rest was almost no different from other normal people.

Lu Zhaolu actually didn't care much about his appearance.

Whether it's yourself or someone else's.

But it was probably because Chief Si Jiang was so eye-catching, Lu Zhaolu couldn't hold back, and looked back at Si Jiang.

Turning around, Lu Zhaolu saw the princes of the aristocratic families in Luoyang City going up to tease Si Jiang.

Lu Zhaolu frowned, looking disgusted.

Of course, it's for those aristocratic sons.

However, before Lu Zhaolu got sick, he saw Si Jiang who was not far away stretched out his hand and grabbed the opponent's neck expressionlessly.

Si Jiang asked, "Want to die?"

Si Jiang asked casually, and slowly lifted the other party up.

Seeing that their master was in danger, the guards of the aristocratic son immediately stepped forward with their swords, ready to hold Si Jiang up.

But there seemed to be a barrier around Si Jiang, no matter how those guards rushed forward, they couldn't get close to Si Jiang.

Others couldn't understand it, and didn't know why the guards couldn't get close, but Lu Zhaolu, who was standing not far away, could see it clearly.

It was Si Jiang's ghostly aura that kept those guards out.

The moment the guards rushed up, the majestic and majestic ghostly aura instantly shook the guards away, surrounding Si Jiang and the young man of the family.

The guards couldn't move forward, and the others didn't even dare to approach.It can be said that if Si Jiang wanted the life of that nobleman, no one would be able to stop him.

Although he hated the son of the family extremely, but the master taught him that he must not be treated differently based on his favorite object, no matter who he is, he must be treated equally.

People must be saved.Ghost, must kill.

Therefore, although disgusted, Lu Zhaolu took out the talisman from his bosom, and prepared to save the son of the aristocratic family.

But unexpectedly, he just took out the talisman from his chest, and before he could step forward, Si Jiang who was not far away seemed to sense something, and slowly turned his head, looking in the direction of Lu Zhaolu.

Si Jiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spat out a word.

"roll."

Si Jiang's thin lips parted slightly, but a short word instantly stunned Lu Zhaolu.

Lu Zhaolu stood there motionless, his mind was blank.

Lu Zhaolu was dumbfounded.

Lu Zhaolu stood there blankly for a long time before finally regaining his senses.At this time, Si Jiang had already left, and the son of the aristocratic family had already been carried back by those loyal guards.

Yes, it was carried back.

It is said that after Si Jiang put him down, the son of the aristocratic family was frightened and fainted.

not only that.

It is said that the son of the aristocratic family lay on the bed for half a month before finally opening his eyes and waking up, but even though he woke up, he was completely dumbfounded.

The person is completely stupid, let alone flirting with beauties on the road, even if he goes out now, he has to be supported by the boys.

In this regard, the people on the street praised him as a big block of hearts.

But Lu Zhaolu's mood was extremely complicated.

Because the ghost just now... seems to be the ghost that the master said, he can't afford to mess with it.

Moreover, it seems that it is not an ordinary ghost.

In Lu Zhaolu's heart, if a ghost wants to make a move, it will definitely take the opponent's life.If it is a ghost, it will be even worse.

But that fierce ghost just now just made that aristocratic young man stupid.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaolu's heart became complicated and difficult to understand.

……

Lu Zhaolu thought that he would never see that ghost again.Unexpectedly, two months later, he saw him again at a poetry meeting.

Seeing Si Jiang, Lu Zhaolu immediately stood up in surprise and shock, and asked, "It's you! You actually—"

Seeing Lu Zhaolu's astonished expression, Si Jiang raised his eyebrows, his expression indifferent.

Si Jiang glanced at him casually, and then immediately looked away without interest.

On the contrary, one of the people at the poetry meeting asked puzzledly: "Hey, do you know Brother Si?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhaolu frowned and asked, "...Brother Si...?"

The other party nodded and smiled: "This is brother Si. Although he is not very talkative, he is very talented, and I admire him very much."

Lu Zhaolu was astonished.

Lu Zhaolu's expression was subtle: "... are you so talented?"

The other party nodded again, took out a copybook, and placed it in front of Lu Zhaolu like a treasure.

The man proudly said: "These are all poems that Brother Si has reciprocated. I think the reconciliations are ingenious, so I wrote them all down."

Lu Zhaolu frowned, completely unbelievable.
