Along the stream bank, a figure slowly came towards the dawn sun.
Gradually, an official road appeared ahead.
The figure walked along the official road for a while, and the sunlight gradually turned southward, falling behind him from the right side of the figure.
Not far away, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River came into view.
Wooden lofts and gray brick and black tiled bungalows are built side by side, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another on the street.
Pedestrians were dressed in all kinds of clothes, including robes, short coats, cheongsams, and suits. There were also some elegantly dressed people, leading dog-legged men, shopping and walking...
"I didn't expect it was the Republic of China..."
Jingzhou sighed, then coughed, his face pale and without any blood.
After the world in the snow reached the perfection of heaven and man, the jade pendant took him through time again. However, this time through time, the energy in his body was sucked clean. There was no other change except that the space was a little larger.
Feeling the weakness in his body, Jingzhou let out another long sigh.
This world's spiritual energy is exhausted, and it can't gather any breath at all. It will take many years and months to regain its strength.
But why did Yupei bring him to this age of lawlessness?
Jingzhou touched the remaining jade on his chest, turned his hand over, and found a piece of gold in his palm.
Ever since he discovered that there was space in the jade remnant, he had stored some elixirs and jewels in it for emergencies.
In the world in the snow, he naturally has no need for these things, but at this time, all his energy has been drained by the jade pendant, and there is no one around him. If he wants to live more comfortably, he cannot do without Brother Kong Fang and Ah Duwu.
"I don't know what kind of world this is." Jing Zhou collected his thoughts and walked towards the town.
"Here comes the live fish, fresh live fish. This little Taoist priest, would you like one?"
As soon as Jingzhou stepped into the town, he heard a warm voice in his ears. He smiled and shook his head and walked forward again.
Although the fish is good, it cannot be eaten raw, so what is the use of buying it?
The most urgent thing is to find a place to fill our stomachs.
The man selling fish stared at Jingzhou's back in trance for a while. It wasn't until he felt his shoulders sinking that the man came back to his senses and murmured: "This man is dressed really weird. I don't know which mountain he came from. I'm alive." After all these years, I have never seen such a person, he must be a Taoist priest."
The owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop on the side had already stood beside the man selling fish at some point. He nodded and agreed, "It's a little weird. If I'm not dazzled, the back of this robe must be embroidered with gold thread!"
He smacked his lips and cursed again: "Damn it, when did Taoist priests become so rich? If I had known this, I should have found a mountain to worship and become a Taoist priest!"
After saying that, the owner of the bun shop rubbed his eyes vigorously and wanted to take a closer look, but Jing Zhou's figure had been hidden by the crowd.
"Old Zhangtou, how do you know he is a Taoist priest? Why do I always feel weird?"
The man selling fish thought for a moment, then said uncertainly: "That's right. This is the Republic of China. Who else has hair except Taoist priests? I heard that the man in the Forbidden City also cut off his hair a few days ago. ?”
The two chatted for a while, then shook their heads and sighed, then returned to their stalls.
Jing Zhou walked around the town for a while, found a pawn shop, and exchanged the piece of gold he had for Da Yang, no more, no less, a full thirty yuan.
Looking at the joy on the corner of the pawnshop owner's eyebrows, he knew that this piece of gold was worth far more than thirty oceans, but he was not familiar with the place. In addition, there were a lot of jewelry stored in the jade pendant on his chest, so he didn't bother to talk to the boss. Calculate.
After making a lot of money for nothing, the pawnshop owner was naturally very enthusiastic towards Jingzhou. When Jingzhou asked him, he would answer two or three sentences, which actually made Jingzhou get a general idea of the situation in the town.
After leaving the pawnshop, Jingzhou followed the pawnshop owner's instructions and walked west along the street for a while before arriving at a restaurant that looked quite large.
He ordered a few dishes, sat by the window and ate slowly.
Although Jingzhou was extremely hungry, he still maintained the habit of stuttering.
"I haven't felt this way for a long time."
After picking up a piece of fish, Jingzhou sighed secretly.
Ever since he became successful in cultivation, he has never experienced this feeling of hunger.
When he was walking along the stream, he actually had the thought that "if he doesn't eat something, he will faint from hunger."
After eating for a few more times, the hunger in his stomach gradually disappeared, and then Jingzhou was able to listen to the conversations of the diners in the restaurant.
Suddenly his ears twitched and he was attracted by the conversation at the table against the wall to the west.
"Did you hear about it? Lijia Village, twenty miles away, was haunted the past two days, and it was really scary."
"Wasn't this Lijia Village haunted by a ghost a year ago? Why is it haunted again? Could it be that the ghost has always been there and has not left?"
"Who knows? I heard from my brother-in-law and his aunt-in-law that a girl from Lijia Village was raped at a young age. Her parents were careless. When they found out about this, they beat and scolded them. In the end, they were out of sight and out of mind. , actually wanted to send this girl to the Yihong Building in Ren's town."
"What kind of place is Yihong Building? This won't push that girl into a pit of fire?"
"Who says it's not the case? It's just that if you send it to Yihonglou, you can exchange some money. If you stay at home, you will not only be looked down upon by the neighbors and villagers, but you will also have another mouth to eat. Even if you reach the age of marriage, this kind of shamelessness Who would want an innocent girl?"
Jingzhou paused for a moment and murmured: "Renjiazhen, why does this word sound so familiar to me?"
After taking a sip of the soup, Jingzhou listened again.
"Is it possible that the girl turned into a ghost later?"
"No, that girl was kept in the dark by her parents. She didn't know that she was sold by her parents until she entered Yihong Building. What kind of place is Yihong Building? Once this person entered, if he didn't obey me, how could he not ask for it? Hard food?"
"The girl was beaten several times and sent back to her parents. Not only did Yihonglou get back all the money she paid for it, but they also charged some extra fees."
"So the girl died when she got home?"
"Yes, this girl was beaten half to death by her parents. After she was kicked out of the house, she didn't know what happened to her, and she died. This time, the whole village was tortured. I heard that the village invited the town My uncle Jiu went to perform a ritual."
"Uncle Ninth, Uncle Ninth." Jingzhou was startled, and the spoon in his hand suddenly stopped on the soup basin.
The two words "Uncle Nine" were like thunder, exploding in his mind, causing his mind to go blank for an instant.
After a long while, Jing Zhou murmured: "Half a bowl of clear water illuminates the universe, and a magic talisman tells the ghosts and gods. The foot steps on the yin and yang Bagua steps, and the wooden sword in the hand kills the demon soul."
"I didn't expect to be in Uncle Jiu's world. This world not only contains ghosts, but also zombies and monsters."
Jingzhou finished the meal for quite an hour before he paid and left.
After leaving the restaurant, Jingzhou turned a corner and found a clothes shop on the south street.
"Hey, little Taoist priest, what do you want to buy?"
When the shop owner saw Jing Zhou coming in, his eyes lit up.
The man in front of him was dressed in fine materials. With his eyesight after running a shop for many years, he would not be able to tell what kind of materials he was wearing.
The boss unconsciously stepped forward, his eyes moved closer, and he kept saying wonders.
"Shopkeeper, bring me two moon-white gowns."
The purple robe he is wearing is from the Yin Yang family. It looked out of place in the Republic of China at this time. Walking on the street, it is inevitable that people will look at it a few times, especially since the clothes are extremely luxurious. If worn, it will inevitably lead to trouble. .
Although Jingzhou is not afraid of trouble, he does not like it.
Hearing Jing Zhou's words, the boss took his eyes away from his purple robe, looked at Jing Zhou's figure, and said with a smile: "I wonder how long it will take, sir, to pick it up?"
Jingzhou said: "I need it right now, I wonder if there is a suitable one in the store?"
"What a coincidence, there is a shirt in the store that suits a young man's figure." As he said that, the boss took a set of moon-white gowns from behind, "If the Taoist priest is not in a hurry, you can pick up the other one later. "
"Forget it," Jingzhou shook his head. Now that he knew that there was Uncle Jiu in this world, he had thoughts of going to Renjia Town.
Looking at the whole world, who can compare to Uncle Jiu in terms of luck?
When you go to Renjia Town, you can always get some luck by staying with Uncle Jiu.
Seeing that the money in his hand was about to fly away, the boss became anxious and said hurriedly: "Since the young master is so anxious, I can rush to make the clothes tonight."
Jingzhou smiled and said, "I wonder if the price will change?"
The boss laughed awkwardly and said, "Same."
But in his heart, he secretly sighed that "money is hard to make". A young master from a wealthy family, or a young master in luxurious clothes, looked like a rich man at first sight, but he was just careless about it.
It’s really difficult these days!
Jingzhou chuckled, paid the deposit, changed out of his purple robe, and slowly walked out of the clothing store.
The purple robe swayed up and down in his hand, and then disappeared like a magic trick. Fortunately, there were many people on the street, but no one paid attention to the robe.
"Since we can only get the clothes tonight, we can't go to Renjia Town today. We have to find an inn with better feng shui to stay for one night, otherwise we will easily encounter ghosts. At this time, the power is exhausted, and it will be fine if we encounter a female ghost. , If you bump into a deadbeat, you will disturb a good dream in vain."
Just as Jingzhou was thinking about which inn with good feng shui he should stay at tonight, he suddenly heard a few voices that he was very familiar with. Just by listening to the arrogant and domineering tone, he knew that there was a son of a landlord in front of him. With a few dog legs, maybe a dog in hand, and a few birds, they would touch the little daughter-in-law on the left and the older girl on the right, and stretch their muscles and bones for the grandpa and grandma.
Jingzhou took a few steps forward, and sure enough, a landlord's son, wearing brand new silk and satin, was yelling at an old woman.
"You old man, you dare to hit me, you're so fucking blind!"
The loser on the left cursed: "In this whole Shijia Town, our young master is the one who bumps into others and kills old ladies. Do you know what serious crime you have committed?"
The dogleg on the right echoed: "Of course it is an unforgivable sin, but my young master has always been kind-hearted. Do you have a girl in your family who is seventeen or eighteen? If so, it is my young master~~~"
The young master rushed to say: "My master naturally has a lot of money, so I will let you, an old woman, go!"
After saying that, the young master turned around triumphantly and saw that the people who were still crowded on the street had already dispersed in all directions.
In this Shijia Town, who doesn't know the name of Mr. Shi? Who dares to interfere in the affairs of Mr. Shi?
Mr. Shi turned around in a circle, but everyone he saw hurried away or lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.
"You, stop!"
Mr. Shi took a step forward and stood in front of Jing Zhou.
Mr. Shi was in a bad mood at this time, because the man in front of him was so annoying that he was wearing a gown of the same color as him.
It’s okay to wear a long gown of the same color, but it’s actually made of fine materials.
Just a long gown made of fine materials. This man actually walked very comfortably, even a little slowly, like strolling in a courtyard. This made Mr. Shi very unhappy.
Mr. Shi is unhappy, so naturally others will suffer the consequences.
"Hey, my young master told you to stop!"
Two henchmen, one on the left and one on the right, stopped Jingzhou.
Several people in the distance glanced here, shaking their heads and sighing.
"It's broken. This young man is going to be in big trouble."
"It's not good to bump into anyone. I have to bump into Mr. Shi."
"I don't know if this young man today wants to get into his pants or act like a toad."
Even though they were far apart, several people still talked quietly. There are three evils in Shijia Town, and Mr. Shi is the first of them.
"Cough cough", Jing Zhou coughed twice.
These two coughs were not caused by the dissipation of power or physical weakness, but by the smell of the two bastards. It was really too pungent, with a fishy smell mixed with the smell of sweat, sour and refreshing.
"Ouch, he's still a sick boy!"
Mr. Shi was so happy that he muttered a few words to himself, pushed up his glasses, and when he saw Jing Zhou's face turned frighteningly pale, he immediately said with joy, "I, Mr. Shi, have always been kind-hearted. Since you are a sick man, I won't make things difficult for you." Now, you can imitate a dog’s barking twice and let me listen to it, young master.”
I don’t know how many young ladies, young wives, and pretty widows Mr. Shi has bullied. There are also countless cripples, blind men, and cages. But this sick man can be counted on one hand. This young sick man is unique. !
When he thought of his "good deeds", the pleasure in Mr. Shi's heart became even stronger. He didn't even care about the old woman on the ground. He put a hand beside his ear, closed his eyes slightly, hummed a little tune in his mouth, leaned his head and listened to "Dog" The sound came.
Jing Zhou sighed inconspicuously: "I don't like trouble, but trouble always comes to me."
If this person is weak, he will not only be easily bullied by ghosts, but also easily bullied by people, so he must not be weak as a human being.
"Boy, what are you talking about? Didn't you hear what my young master said?"
Seeing that Jing Zhou refused to bark, the fist on the left that was as big as a sandbag hit him in the face.
"Kacha!"
There was a crisp sound.
Then there was a deafening scream.
Jing Zhou threw it away casually, and the dog-legged man flew out, face down, butt up, and landed on the street in a piece of debris with his head turned around.
Blood flowed out from the corner of the bitch's mouth, probably because his front teeth were knocked out.
"you……"
"How dare you hit someone!"
Master Shi was stunned for a long time, then he opened his mouth and pointed at Jingzhou, hiding behind the other loser, trembling and speechless.
The bitch standing on the ground wiped the sweat from his head and stuttered: "Do you know...do you know who our young master is? Our young master, the young master is..."
Then the bitch became speechless.
There was another crisp sound.
A scream.
The dog-legged body flew out without leaning to one side, and hit another broken brick.
"Your method is good. If you learn how to bark three times, I won't argue with you. What do you think?"
Jing Zhou chuckled lightly.
Mr. Shi sat down on the ground, "You...you..."
Jingzhou smiled and said: "Oh, it doesn't matter. I never like to force people. Since you don't want to bark like a dog, then..."
"Woof woof woof"
"Woof woof woof"
Eight or nine dogs barked, each one louder than the last.
Mr. Shi was lying on the ground with his butt raised high. Not only did he imitate the barking of a dog, but he also imitated the movements of his hands like a dog, with a look of flattery on his face.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one in the group would have believed that the man who was teaching the dog on the ground was Mr. Shi!
A slight smile flashed across Jingzhou's lips, "Since you have learned how to bark like a dog, go ahead and don't ask me to meet you next time, otherwise you won't be learning how to bark like a dog."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
After hearing this, Mr. Shi felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He didn't care about the two followers lying on the ground, got up from the ground and fled in the opposite direction.
"Alas, this young man is miserable, he actually offended Mr. Shi."
"Who says it's not the case? If he just barks like a dog a few times and feels a little aggrieved, this matter will be over. It's better than being settled by Mr. Shi."
"Although this young man is good at kung fu, he can't beat the four hands with his two fists. The Shi family has a big business and dozens of strong servants, but this young man can't beat him. With Mr. Shi's temper, sooner or later he will settle the score with him, unless He will never come to Shijiazhen again!"
Jingzhou shook his head slightly, took a step forward, and helped the woman on the ground up, "Auntie, are you okay?"
"Thank you, sir, I'm fine." The woman waved her hand, and then Jingzhou realized that the woman could not see with her eyes.
"Young master, please don't call me auntie. My husband's surname is Zhang. You can just call me Mrs. Zhang."
"If nothing happens, young master, why don't you come home with me to drink a cup of hot water and have a rest, so that the old lady can express her gratitude. If the young master hadn't taken action, I don't know what would have happened today." Although the woman is blind, her ears are not. Extraordinarily sensitive, she clearly heard the previous comments of people in the distance, fearing that the person in front of her would stay in the town and be bullied.
"This is?"
In an instant, the words "Shi Gongzi, Xiaohong, and blind man" came to Jingzhou's mind at the same time.
"Female ghost Xiaohong!"
Suddenly Jingzhou's mind exploded.
This is "Ghost Bites Ghost"!
Uncle Jiu's apprentice Fei Bao has a marriage contract with Xiao Zhu, the daughter of the owner of Zhuji Tea House. However, Mr. Shi, a wealthy family member in the town, is a very lustful person. He has coveted Xiao Zhu's beauty for a long time, so he and Fei Bao have a grudge. Later Mr. Shi asked Mr. Gu to rectify Fei Bao, which led to a series of fights...
Memories suddenly flashed through Jingzhou's mind.
Jingzhou fixed his eyes and took another look at the woman in front of him, only to see a faint black aura between the corners of her eyebrows.
Is this woman the mother of the female ghost Xiao Hong?
Jing Zhou thought about it for a moment and said with a smile, "That's fine. Sister Zhang has difficulty traveling. I'll accompany Sister Zhang back and ask for a glass of water by the way."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
