I became an immortal in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 161 The Monster Eats Children (+10)

"You go first..."

"You go ahead!"

"My foot suddenly hurts a little..."

The three children pushed each other, none of them wanting to go first.

This house has been haunted for many years and is famous far and wide. People have heard about it since they were children and can't go there. Even if they accidentally pass by, they have to pat the back three times to get rid of the bad luck.

They argued for a while.

The boy and girl together pushed the chubby boy to the front.

The chubby boy kept wiping away tears, thinking about his Nuo mask, before finally bracing himself to stand at the door.

He turned to the other two and said, "If the ghost inside comes out, you two drag me along with you."

Both children agreed.

The chubby boy, still uneasy, turned to the other side and said to the girl:

"What if I die..."

The girl was a little scared, staring at the door of the house. She wondered why there was an iron sheath hanging there, which looked rather eerie.

There seemed to be a faint smell of smoke, which made the girl feel intimidated.

She gripped Little Fatty's clothes tightly and spoke from behind.

“If you die, I’ll bury you like I bury my younger brother. I still have seven coins, so I’ll buy you some paper money to burn. That way, even if you die, you won’t be poor. You can buy things in the underworld, whatever you want…”

The chubby child felt a little relieved.

He mustered his courage and knocked on the door.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

The door god, General Red Blade, had already seen the three timid children and laughed maliciously.

It's quite a coincidence that these three tiny kids are so scared.

He suddenly appeared—

The figure was depicted in bold strokes and exuded an imposing aura. He even revealed a ghostly appearance, with a blue face and fangs, riding a fine horse and looking down at the three tiny children.

"I ask with majesty."

"Who goes there—"

The three children screamed in fright and ran away in a panic.

"Ghost!!!"

"Haunted!"

"Little Hezhou, run!"

They immediately hid and ran away.

A book was thrown out from outside the main room and landed on the illusory figure formed from wisps of smoke.

In an instant, the smoke and clouds vanished.

The three children scrambled outside, still curious, and didn't go far, turning their heads and leaning forward to peek. Just as their hearts were pounding, they heard a gentle voice.

"Three little guests, you may come in now."

The three small children looked on with surprise and doubt.

They looked at each other for a few moments.

The chubby boy glanced at the other two, wiped away his tears, and whispered a conspiracy: "Should we go in? This house is really haunted."

The girl hesitated.

"Life is more important. Let's not die. Our parents will be so heartbroken."

The boy pursed his lips, watching the dissipating smoke, then glanced at the somewhat dirty books lying on the ground, and said nothing.

The chubby boy hesitated for a long time.

half an hour.

Thinking about his Nuo mask, the chubby boy mustered up his courage and said, "Why don't you go back first, and I'll go ask?"

Both of them shook their heads.

The boy picked up the dirty book from the ground, wiped the dust off with the chubby boy's clothes, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly kept his distance from the chubby boy again.

"I'll go with you."

"I'll go as well."

The chubby boy was moved.

"You guys are so loyal!"

He wiped away his tears and muttered, "I'll just ask one question, and then we'll leave."

The three short, chubby children tiptoed into the house, their hands and feet moving in unison, in a flustered and hurried manner.

The house was a bit bigger than where they lived, and it was notorious for being haunted. It was obviously a haunted house. The little fat boy quickly forgot all about it. The owners were actually eating roasted mutton and drinking fish soup inside the house.

The aroma wafts through the air.

His stomach growled.

She cried for so long and searched for so long, and the three children hadn't eaten and were starving.

Their gazes froze for a moment.

Jiang She watched them with a smile. He was also mischievous and wanted to play a trick on the children, so he asked with a laugh:

Are you all hungry?

Li Bai and Yuan Danqiu, chopsticks in hand, watched with delight.

The chubby boy smelled the warm fish soup in the air. He wondered how it was cooked. It must have been made with fresh river fish. It smelled so good and wasn't fishy at all.

And that roasted mutton, it looked like it was cured, and when it was grilled a little, the oil dripped down.

He nodded subconsciously.

His stomach growled again. Little Fatty rubbed his belly and then realized the sound was coming from beside him. He looked at his friend.

Waiting for the host's invitation, the chubby child crossed his chubby legs and ate the mutton and soup with gusto, until he was halfway through the meal.

He then remembered that he had come to look for something, not to eat.

I glanced at the mutton on the plate.

Little Fatty endured the pain and tilted his head back.

"I lost one of my Nuo masks a few days ago, have you seen it?"

Jiang She's smile deepened.

He asked, "What does it look like?"

The chubby boy gave a rough description, saying that he remembered every detail of the Nuo mask very well, as if he had held it in his arms and looked at it hundreds of times.

"It's a red Nuo mask, made of wood, with two horns. One of the horns is slightly off-center, and it's wearing an official's hat. It looks very powerful. It's the Martial Judge from the City God Temple!"

The chubby boy said.

He gestured with his hands.

"I begged my family for two months before my mother finally bought it for me, and it cost sixteen coins!"

Sixteen coins was an astronomical sum for children their age; even during the New Year, they didn't have that much money.

As he spoke, the chubby boy got excited and even blew a snot bubble from his nose.

Seeing this, the boy leaned to the side, moving further away from the person.

Li Bai, standing nearby, had already burst out laughing.

To avoid being discovered by the child, Yuan Danqiu nudged him with her elbow and handed him the food, saying, "Taibai, eat some meat."

Jiang She pondered for a while with a serious expression.

"I think I saw him."

The three children's eyes lit up immediately.

Jiang She pulled a clean Nuo mask from his sleeve, exactly the same as the one the chubby boy had described. It was red, dressed as a military judge, and crudely made, with one horn on its head slightly crooked from being shaved off by the craftsman.

he asks.

"But this?"

The chubby boy's eyes widened, and tears streamed down his face.

"That's it!"

He accepted it with relish.

He didn't even notice why the Nuo mask he had been playing with suddenly became so clean.

Only the boy glanced at it a couple more times. After the chubby boy kissed the mask twice and hugged it tightly in front of the dirty clothes, he also looked away, unwilling to look closely.

The chubby boy was so moved that tears streamed down his face.

The Nuo mask was recovered, and they also enjoyed a delicious meal at someone else's house.

The chubby boy wasn't so scared anymore. He mustered his courage and said mysteriously, "There's one more thing!"

Jiang She listened attentively.

"what's up?"

The chubby boy said, "I'm not telling this to anyone else, I'm only telling you guys..."

He lowered his voice, feeling somewhat guilty, afraid that the ghost at the door would hear him.

"There's a ghost in your house!"

"You'd better move out as soon as possible! I'm telling the truth..."

Two children standing nearby also testified for him, one after the other, saying that since they were little, their parents had told them that this house was really haunted and terrifying, and that they were never allowed to go in front of the house.

I knocked on the door just now because I was looking for Nuo noodles.

The chubby boy said.

"We just ran into a ghost! It had really long fangs and it was really fierce!"

The girl nodded.

"I don't know how many people it has eaten. My mother said that ghosts like to eat children."

“My mother also said that monsters love to eat children,” the boy said.

Jiang She glanced at the doorway.

General Chidao's figure became somewhat weak, floating unsteadily as if he were injured. He shrank back in his sword sheath, remaining silent. He even flinched when he sensed his gaze.

"Is there such a thing?"
