Bend that ghost

Chapter 43 Seven Years of Guardianship

Qiao Mu successfully frightened people and was in a happy mood, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Xiang, I'm sorry, I brought a few friends back today, I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain you."

While talking, he pushed the Taoist leader into the door, then pushed Wen Zhijiang and Lu Li in together, and finally closed the door neatly, his expression immediately darkened.

"That man..." Wen Zhijiang had just opened his mouth when Qiao Mu interrupted with a laugh, "That man came to look for Lu Li, but unfortunately he didn't recognize him so far away, he deserved it!"

Wen Zhijiang looked suspiciously at Qiao Mu, who was no longer talking and concentrating on leading the way, and then turned to look at Lu Li. Seeing that Lu Li's face turned pale again, he felt a little distressed, but Lu Li smiled faintly, blinked at him, and said softly, "A moment later. Tell you."

The last word was almost breathless, and as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Li fell asleep again leaning on Wen Zhijiang's shoulder.

Wen Zhijiang's heart tightened, and he smiled wryly to himself. Ever since he met Lu Li, this man had never been injured. He helped the unconscious man stumble through the corridor arch, and placed him in the west wing.

The quadrangle courtyard has ancient fragrance and ancient charm, with cloud-patterned flower windows, and a Cangshan bluestone screen divides the wing room into two. The outer room has a simple square table with four chairs, and a rug under the window.Lu Li was placed on the bed in the inner room. Wen Zhijiang sat beside the bed and looked at the oil lamp on the table dumbfounded. He felt that he might have traveled through time.

There was a knock on the door, Wen Zhijiang got up and went out to open the door, and it was Qiao Mu standing outside the door.

Qiao Mu didn't enter the door, but turned sideways to signal Wen Zhijiang to come out, just as Wen Zhijiang didn't want anyone to disturb Lu Li, he stepped out immediately, and the two sat down in the corridor, Wen Zhijiang couldn't figure out why Qiao Mu asked him to come out, so he waited silently for Qiao Mu to speak first.

"Hey, that boy Lu Li is in good health. Don't worry, Young Master Wen." Qiao Mu smiled, and said, "The one outside the door is a mentally ill person, haunted by evil spirits and not obedient. I originally wanted to ask Lu Li for help. Who knew that that person didn't appreciate it, but Lu Li was rushing to save you, but he regretted it again."

Rush to save me?Wen Zhijiang frowned. The first time he saw Lu Li was the morning of his death. Could it be that Lu Li came to rescue him at that time?Then why do you still say you want to take his eyes?And he still died that night.

Wen Zhijiang pondered for a moment, then pursed his lips and asked, "How much do you know about Lu Li?"

Qiao Mu leaned against the pillars of the corridor, sighed, and said: "I don't know much more than you. Although my master and his master are old acquaintances, I can only meet him when the two old men meet. After all, the sects are different. There is something about Yinshan I also don't know clearly, no sect would spread secrets around. But a few days ago, Lu Li suddenly contacted me, saying that he has something to do and can't be by your side, and asked me to go and protect you for a while. After receiving the news, I will Moved, who knows that this fox demon is causing trouble or that evil spirit is making trouble, I didn't know you were dead until I met you in that gloomy ghost town."

Wen Zhijiang squinted his eyes and sorted out Qiao Mu's words.

Lu Li didn't know what happened to him, so he wanted to ask Qiao Mu to come and protect him, but Qiao Mu was stopped by a fox demon on the road, and Lu Li might have been caught by something, and he was killed at that time.

It's just that there seems to be something wrong with Qiao Mu's words. Wen Zhijiang thought about it for a long time, and suddenly said in astonishment: "...he has been by my side all this time?"

Qiao Mu nodded and said, "Since seven years ago, Lu Li has rarely received business. Mr. Wen asked him to protect you by your side, and he has been by your side without saying a word for seven years. I think Lu Li made an excuse to have something to do. It should be because of Elder Wen's death that he left."

"No." Wen Zhijiang shook his head and said, "My mother told me about my grandpa's death after I died. It stands to reason... Grandpa should be after me..."

A look of sadness flashed in Qiao Mu's eyes, and he shook his head to deny, "No, Mr. Wen was killed before you, but he didn't keep in touch with you very often. When Aunt Liandong got the news, Lu Li must have taken care of Mr. Wen's body."

Wen Zhijiang was dumbfounded. They really didn't communicate often, and suddenly he felt uncomfortable. Counting it... Lu Li looked more like his grandpa's grandson.

Thinking of Lu Li, has this guy stayed by his side for seven full years?In the past seven years, Wen Zhijiang has never noticed anyone around him. He thought that the morning before his death was the first time they met, but he didn't expect that someone he didn't know had been silently guarding him in a corner he couldn't see.

Qiao Mu suddenly got up and patted Wen Zhijiang's shoulder, grinning: "No one else can see that kid's thoughts, but I can see clearly, he really put his life to protect you, not just because of thinking of Mr. Wen. Don't blame me for talking too much, the world is always unfair, you are a doctor, and you have seen a lot of human nature in the hospital, it is really unreliable, even though you two guys..." He suddenly stopped, and finally spit out with a sigh Four words: "The true heart is hard to find..."

Wen Zhijiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the topic changed too quickly, from suspense films to romance dramas, Emotional Qiao Mu came here to be Yuelao.

Wen Zhijiang touched the matte black earrings on the earlobe, lowered his eyes and said, "I have made a contract with him and will not leave. Then can you tell me why the psychic world rejects the Yinshan School so much?"

He even hated him so much that he wanted to kill him, a descendant of the Wen family who had no inheritance, and deliberately staggered Qiao Mu and Lu Li. What kind of enmity is this?

Qiao Mu showed a half-smile look, and snorted softly like contempt: "Who knows, jealous? Jealousy? Didn't you find that the ghost messengers treat Lu Li with courtesy? He is a ghost-born fairy, I don’t even have a good look at earth immortals, let alone a mortal? The identities of Yinshan disciples are extremely high in both Yin and Yang realms, but the process of Yinshan’s practice is a bit infiltrating, just like our corpse exorcisers, because they are accompanied by corpses. That group of old things who are full of justice will regard me as a filthy thing, tsk, it's nothing more than abnormal brain."

Wen Zhijiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, he believed that he was out of his mind, and couldn't help saying: "If that's the case, why do they dare to do something to me?"

Qiao Mu's eyes dimmed, and his voice lowered: "Now that something has happened to the underworld, how can I care about you. Although I don't know why your name disappeared from the book of life and death, it means that you will have no reincarnation in the future. There are two reincarnations, one is a god who jumped out of the five elements and six realms, and the other... is a ghost who has lost his soul. You are neither. Maybe this is the reason why those Taoists dared to join forces with the demon clan to kill you."

Wen Zhijiang's heart sank, he always felt that the reason behind his death was not that simple.

If it was just to get rid of the Yinshan faction, then it would be to kill Lu Li. After all, he is the orthodox disciple who inherited the Dharma lineage, and he is just a Wen family member with Wen's blood.

If someone killed Grandpa and Lu Li without anyone noticing, he probably wouldn't even know about Lu Li.But it's really intriguing to go to great lengths to take his life.

Wen Zhijiang had a headache, and suddenly remembered a conversation with Lu Li.

"...Are you suffering from death indifference and depression? Can you give me some feedback?"

"What's the reaction?"

"Maybe you can set off a firecracker to celebrate. You lived seven years longer, shouldn't you celebrate?"

—Seven years more!

Qiao Mu also said just now that Lu Li protected him by his side for seven years.

These seven years, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a coincidence.
