Night Lights

Chapter 19 Lan Xin'er dedicated herself to luring ghosts

There is a bridge wandering on the Yellow Spring Road in the underworld; those who walk in the shade need to be guided by yin objects to know the way to come and the bridge to go; there is a folk saying: a dead cat hangs on the tree, and a dead dog releases water; when a dead cat hangs on a tree, When a dog's corpse floats in the water, pick up the corpse, burn it to refine it, take the bone powder and store it, and when it's gone, you can lure it to guide the way. ——Excerpted from Tongyin Eight Volumes of "Wordless Book of Heaven".

……

Hearing Bai Shibao's voice, Lan Xin'er struggled to stand up, her face flushed pink, her eyes slightly opened, she rubbed her forehead with her hand, still looking drunk, she looked left and right to find Bai Shibao's figure.

Bai Shibao was about to wave his hand in the dark, but he saw that the two ghosts had already walked behind Lan Xin'er, scanning Lan Xin'er's body with their eyes.

"It's really poor and dumb eating coptis, it's miserable!" Bai Shibao said anxiously.

These two ghosts were tall and thin, the tall and thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a shroud and gown from head to toe, with the long lapels sweeping the ground.Another short and fat man has a pair of evil eyebrows and mouse eyes, a thick beard, square lips and wide mouth.

"Brother, this girl seems to be drunk..." the squat Yin Gui narrowed his eyes and said.

The thin and tall Yin Gui swept around, looked at Lan Xin'er in a daze, as if she was about to fall at any moment, and said to the short and fat guy, "It's so late, why is there a girl here?"

"Is it likely that the girl from which family was forced to marry by her family and escaped from marriage?"

"No, this dress looks like a girl from Miao Jiang."

"Did you escape from marriage in Miaojiang?"

"..."

Lan Xin'er blinked, pointed at the short and fat Yin Gui with a smile and said, "How did you become so fat?" Turning around to look at the thin and tall Yin Gui, she said, "Hey, why did you grow taller again? gone?"

Bai Shibao hid behind the tree, gritted his teeth, and secretly shouted: "How drunk are you, I don't even recognize you, these two guys are clearly ghosts!"

"It's probably a crazy girl, let's go, don't delay reincarnation!" said the thin tall ghost.

After hearing this, the short fat ghost turned his mouse eyes, walked around in front of the tall thin ghost, and said with a square grin, "Brother, we've been dead for so long, and we don't need to rush to reincarnate now. Look, that girl is beautiful Crazy, why not..."

The tall and thin ghost pondered for a moment, then said: "As a brother, I will take care of you, and let you have a taste before I leave!"

The short fat ghost smiled with fascinated eyes, arched his hands and said thank you, then turned around and walked towards Lan Xin'er...

Bai Shibao was startled and said in his heart: These two ghosts must...not succeed!Although I intend to get rid of Lan Xin'er, I can't leave her alone at this time. If the master's spirit in the sky knows that I have done this, wouldn't it hurt my heart?After thinking about it, he took out the 'Zhong Kui Town Ghost Talisman' from his bosom, copied it in the palm of his hand, jumped out from behind the tree, and shouted: "Oh my sister, why are you here? It's been hard for my brother to find you!"

When Bai Shibao jumped out so suddenly, he gave the two ghosts a jump.

Bai Shibao bowed to the two ghosts, and then said to Lan Xin'er, "Come back with brother!"

Lan Xin'er blinked and looked at Bai Shibao, then asked blankly, "Who are you?"

Bai Shibao thought in his heart, you are really drunk, you recognize ghosts but not people!I'm kind enough to save you, why haven't you sobered up yet?

The Humpty Ghost came over and asked Bai Shibao, "Who are you?"

"I'm her brother!" Bai Shibao lied.

"Since you are her brother, why doesn't she recognize you?"

"Was drunk!"

"Drunk?" Humpty Ghost obviously didn't believe Bai Shibao's words.

"I'm not drunk! He's not my brother either..." Lan Xin'er's waist swayed like a willow branch, her face was pink, she was wearing a pleated skirt, and she floated to the side of the Humpty Ghost, touching his shroud with her hands button, and said in a delicate voice: "You are my good brother!"

Bai Shibao stood aside, staring blankly at Lan Xin'er, his face turned blue, he gritted his teeth angrily, and cursed in his heart: "Drinking poisonous wine and drugs, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad!"

Seeing Lan Xin'er being so courteous in every possible way, the chubby ghost lost his eyes.

"what……"

A sudden scream shocked Bai Shibao and the tall thin ghost.

The short fat ghost jumped up with a rubbing sound, his face was purple, and there was a black striped poisonous snake hanging around his neck. The tail of the snake was tightly coiled around his neck, his neck was rattling, and his fangs bit two on his neck. Blood hole, this short and fat ghost is like a lucky bee. It just entered the flowers, and before it tasted the sweetness, it was caught by the poisonous substance and bitten to death in its mouth.

"Letting you spend your life and become a **** ghost, it's cheaper for you..."

Lan Xiner stood up, straightened her clothes and skirts, looked at Bai Shibao staring blankly, and said, "What are you looking at? I solved one, and the rest is yours!"

Seeing the short and fat ghost's face turned blue, the tall and thin ghost fell to the ground and struggled. After trembling and convulsing a few times, the tall and thin ghost kicked his legs and went to see the king of Hades again, but this time he wanted to be a lonely soul and never be reborn.The tall and thin ghost turned around and ran away in fright.

Bai Shibao came back to his senses, and threw the "Zhongkui Town Ghost Talisman" forward in his hand, just hit the tall and thin ghost on the back, with a bang, a puff of white smoke came out, Bai Shibao picked up the ghost scaring whip, ran over and used it Scattering the white smoke with his hands, he saw that the tall and thin ghost was already lying on the ground, trembling all over, his body swelled up little by little, his stomach swelled like a water tank in an instant, the shroud on his body was torn, his belly couldn't bear the air pressure in his body, the more he It's getting thinner and it's about to burst.

"I beg you to spare my life, I have no intention of harming anyone!" The tall and thin ghost begged on the ground.

"No intention of harming others? I heard that you are rushing to reincarnate, so I will give you a ride first."

After Bai Shibao finished speaking, he picked up the ghost-scaring whip and wanted to whip it violently at him. When the whip was raised above his head, he suddenly changed his mind and pulled the 'Zhong Kui Suppressing Ghost Talisman' off his body...

The thin tall ghost's belly gradually became smaller, and after a while it returned to its original shape, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Bai Shibao repeatedly.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Lan Xin'er came over and asked.

"Don't kill me. I've already died once. If I die again, I will never be reborn. At that time, it will be considered that the world will not be left behind, and the ghost gate will not be closed. I will really become a lonely ghost!" Seeing Lan Xin'er, the tall and thin ghost Walking over, she knelt down at Lan Xin'er's feet again and again.

Lan Xin'er put the black snake in her hand, squatted down, put the black snake on his body, and said: "Who said just now that we are going to try something new?"

The tall and thin ghost watched the black snake crawling slowly from his back to his neck, trembling with fright, afraid that he would be bitten to death by the black snake just like the short fat ghost, so he begged hurriedly: "It's because he is greedy for your beauty, and beat you to death. Your crooked idea has nothing to do with me, I didn't have such evil intentions when I was going to reincarnate!"

"Not so malicious? You mean I'm not pretty enough, so you don't like me?" Lan Xin'er frowned and said.

"No, no! Everyone likes a girl who is young and beautiful... No, no, even ghosts like her!"

"What? Only ghosts like it?"

"No no... people like it too."

"That's pretty much the same. Seeing your sweet talk, I'll let you go, but as for what he wants to do with you, I can't care." Seeing him praising her beauty, Lan Xin'er took Hei Snake away when she was happy, and turned around. Look at Bai Shibao, to see how he will deal with this ghost.

Earlier, Bai Shibao heard that these two ghosts said that they bribed the ghost messenger with money, not only escaped punishment, but also spared a reincarnation, this reminded Bai Shibao of one thing...

"You said earlier that some family members burned papers to make you bribe ghost messengers? Is this true or false?"

The ghost saw that Bai Shibao had a scaring whip in his hand, so naturally he didn't dare to deceive and conceal it, and told the truth: "But there is this matter. After I died, I was escorted to the underworld by ghost messengers. I don't want to be asked for money by ghost messengers during the period. I had sticks to serve me, and I had no money, so I asked my family to burn some ghost money for me, and handed it over to the ghost messenger to ask for a way to reincarnate!"

"The widow, the ghost messenger also told you about the widow's pregnancy?"

"Well, I saw that the ghost's attitude changed when he took the money, so I took the opportunity to intercede. The ghost said that there is a name in the book of life and death, and it can't be changed by arresting people to testify against it. There is only one way to try, which is to find someone to reincarnate. It was changed, and the book of life and death couldn’t confirm it, so he had to go back to meet his errands, and then told me that there was a widow in Qiancun who was pregnant with a rebellious son, and asked me to reincarnate..."

Hearing this, Bai Shibao bowed his head and thought: When I was in the underworld with my master, I bought a way from Wuchang, and there was a ghost messenger who asked for money, and then I heard this tall and thin ghost talk about using money to buy ghost messengers, I couldn't help but marvel at how much money in the underworld is so good. Able to pay ghosts for their lives!At that time, my master said that I have five disadvantages and three deficiencies. I lack wealth and life, and I am only poor. Since I can’t make a fortune in the yang, why don’t I burn money in the yang and become a rich man in the underworld?
In the future, when you are in the dark, use money to pave the way, and you can use money to manage ghosts when you encounter ghosts. Wouldn't it be amazing to use money to serve ghosts?Who wouldn't know me, Bai Shibao?

Thinking of this, Bai Shibao couldn't help laughing up to the sky, Lan Xin'er beside him asked suspiciously: "What? Are you going to reincarnate too?"

"Reincarnation? Who said I want to be reincarnated?" Bai Shibao said back to his senses.

"Then what are you giggling about?"

"Am I laughing? I have broken the destiny, abolished five disadvantages and three disadvantages!"

"..." Lan Xin'er couldn't understand what Bai Shibao was talking about.

After laughing loudly, Bai Shibao pointed at the tall and thin ghost with his scaring whip and said, "I'll spare your life for what happened today, and don't harm that woman again, or I'll cut off your three souls so that you won't be reborn forever!"

The tall and thin ghost repeatedly kowtowed in thanks, got up and walked around a thick willow tree beside him three times, then turned into a puff of smoke and ran away...

Lan Xin'er watched the ghost run away, pouted and complained to Bai Shibao: "Why did you just let him go like that, I haven't played enough!"

Bai Shibao turned around and asked Lan Xin'er with a strange smile: "You said how much money will you give me after you asked me to send you to Miaojiang to return to the sun?"
