There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 61 The Cat Demon Appears 01
"A-Sister Ahe -" she grabbed Shen Huihe's wrist and said stutteringly, "Liu, Liu Lang is dead, and I, I am also dead. I am willing to go west with him and do the same thing in my next life. , Be a loving and happy couple. Sister, I, I really envy you, you are free and unfettered, I wish you and Brother——"

Before she could finish her words, Cui Liuying lost her breath and died without closing her eyes.

Shen Huihe held Cui Liuying in his arms, raised his eyes and looked at the portrait of Master Sanqing in front of the tea room, sitting on his knees in a daze, his eyes sad and silent.

The Cui family's Qiniang committed suicide by taking poison in Qingyun Temple. The Cui family only sent a housekeeper and two rough ladies to collect the body.

A month later, Shen Huihe received a letter from Cui Luo, the fifth son of the Cui family.The letter only said that he would leave for the capital in the near future and that he should not miss him, nothing more.

She read the letter, sneered in her heart, turned around and threw the letter into the stove.

One and a half months later, Pingjiang City, Suzhou.

The autumn wind is gradually picking up, the fallen leaves are fluttering, and the wind blowing is a bit more desolate and chilly.

In a small forest twenty miles west of Pingjiang City, there is a ruined and deserted small temple.

In fact, it can't even be called a small dilapidated temple. There are only three or two rotten wooden pillars scattered in front of the dilapidated temple.A crumbling old plaque hangs horizontally on the left and right sides.It's a pity that the handwriting is as sparse and careless as ghostly drawings, making it difficult for people to recognize it.There are two large pieces of gray silk swaying in the wind wrapped around both ends of the wooden pillar. There are several big holes in it due to years of wind and rain erosion.

Although it is noon now, the autumn wind blows, and it feels a bit eerie.

Huikong pursed her lips, folded her arms and leaned on her chest, pretending to be a little adult, looking around at the small shabby house in front of her, really confused.

Knock--

The sound of weeds and branches snapping underfoot came from the woods behind the small ruined temple. When he saw clearly who was coming, Huikong said happily: "Senior sister, you are back, but what secrets did you find?"

Shen Huihe shook his head and raised his hand to straighten the white-topped curtain hat that was slightly tilted due to being bumped by a branch: "That's all, Huikong, I'm hungry."

"Senior sister, I'm hungry too, why don't we go into the city to fill our stomachs."

Shen Huihe and Huikong were already hungry, so they immediately hit it off and entered Pingjiang City without stopping.

They had been traveling for seven or eight days, but they had not had a good meal, so they would definitely feast on it later.The two of them entered a small wine shop with a thriving business based on their intuition.

The beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the imperial state of Jinling.The meandering wind brings green water, and leads to the Zhulou.Suzhou is rich, and Pingjiang City in Suzhou is even more prosperous and charming.

When talking about Jiangping City in Suzhou, it is natural to mention the saying "It's time to congratulate the kings for having nothing to do, and it's time for the golden and jade chickens again", which in popular terms is the perch chicken.

Bass in autumn happens to be the most plump and attractive aquatic product in the Jiangnan region.The plump and fresh sea bass is cut into neat and thin strips. It is as white as jade and plump and juicy.What Mr. Wei Ming wrote, "The water shield is tender and silvery, and the sea bass is plump with snow flakes" is enough to make people salivate.

Jinji is made from seven ingredients: garlic, ginger, salt, white plums, orange peels, cooked chestnut meat and japonica rice. The sauce is sour and sweet when dipped in fresh fish stew, which is very appetizing.

Du Shaoling praised Leng Tao of Huaiye and Shen Huihe naturally couldn't miss it.Fresh locust leaves are pounded into juice, and then mixed with white flour. Finally, the ice-cold chamomile soup is poured into it. The mixture of the two ingredients has a complexion as green as emerald, a fragrant and refreshing smell, and a complete color, fragrance, and color.Take a sizzling bite and your mouth will be filled with refreshing and thirst-quenching food.

In addition, squirrel mandarin fish, carved Hu rice, cooked lotus root and various kinds of cakes are also delicacies that can only be tasted in Suzhou.Finally, the restaurant waiter brought a large basket of white steamed glutinous rice cakes.The steamed glutinous rice cake is soft, glutinous, sweet but not greasy, and is very suitable for both of them.

"Many officers and soldiers from the government were dispatched to the west of the city last night. Have you heard about it?"

"Well, my eldest cousin was on duty in the west of the city last night. When he came back this morning, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. I pity the young bride's delicate face."

Shen Huihe raised his eyebrows and turned his head to listen to the low conversation of the diners behind him.

"I heard that someone saw a ghost flashing in front of that house a few days ago. It really looked like a cat and a fox. I never thought that such a tragic thing happened last night."

"Then, how was the death of the bride? Is it really the same as the previous three tragedies?!"

"I heard from my eldest cousin that the bride's face seemed to have been scratched more than a dozen times with sharp claws. And what's more, is there something even more evil?"

"What?! Don't show off!" The diners were even more impatient.

"That bride, her face was peeled off and her eyes were gouged out. She was bloody and miserable! She also happened to have white cat hair on her wedding quilt! It's exactly the same as the first three cases. Do you think it's evil?! "

"Then, then, is the groom okay today?" He couldn't help but tremble when he thought that the first three grooms also died inexplicably after the bride's death.

"He is still alive today. I heard that he has been guarded by people. He is afraid that he will commit suicide with the bride like the previous ones."

"Then, isn't that exactly the same as the previous three cases?! Could it be that the cat demon really appeared in this world to take revenge? I heard that the Dongshan God in the temple loved a white cat the most, and the Dongshan God's The face is covered by——"

The man sitting across from me quickly signaled him to be silent: "Don't say this nonsense. There is no Dongshan Temple of Dongshan God in Suzhou today. Be careful with your bad mouth, I'm afraid you will be arrested by the government and Qin Guogong and taken to the dungeon. !”

"Stop talking, stop talking! What the hell!" The diner opposite took a few sips of tea to strengthen his courage. He changed the subject and joked, "I heard that a happy event is coming to the Duke of Qin's house recently. If there is a wedding, it will also I wonder if the bride who is about to marry is afraid that this cat demon will come to her door?!"

The diners opposite couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What is the background of Duke Qin?! How can he let those ghosts and gods who can't stand on the stage take advantage of the general's tiger and the emperor's relatives?"

"That's true. But it's a good thing that the Duke of Qin holds a happy event. Common people like us can also take advantage of it. In the future, we must join in the banquet sponsored by the Duke of Qin."

"That's that, come and have a drink."

Duke Yuan Ji of the State of Qin came from a family of military generals and was also the cousin of the current king and queen.He fought several victorious battles when he was young. At that time, he was favored by the Queen Mother Guo and the saint, so he was named Duke of Qin at a young age.

Duke Yuan Ji of the State of Qin has lived in Pingjiang City, Suzhou for a long time. He has always been kind-hearted, generous, and generous. He is a great philanthropist praised by everyone in Pingjiang City.
