This Liao Zhai is not right
Page 36
Su Su couldn't help but tremble all over, and had to admit defeat: "As you say, don't do anything rash."
"It's too late. The price now is not just a marriage contract. It will take more than that to make up for someone's previous breach of trust." Chang'e became more and more demanding.
"Don't go too far, or I might go out and flirt with other girls." Su Su threatened.
Chang'e was dismissive of Su Shu's threats. She turned her eyes and nodded at the woman surnamed Sun not far away, saying meaningfully, "I have already found a candidate for you. Go ahead and flirt with her."
At this moment, the woman surnamed Sun also noticed that something was happening between the two of them, and glanced over hurriedly.
Hearing what Chang'e said, her face couldn't help but turn red.
You two are flirting, could you please not bring me along?
It is really unsightly.
Su Su was furious and gnashed his teeth as he said, "You are so cruel. What do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll make plans when the time comes."
Her eyes wandered around Su Su, making her feel frightened. Chang'e mocked her, "You have a lot of dirty ideas in your head, but you have the desire but not the courage."
Who are you scolding!
After a moment of panic, I calmed down.
Looking at the smug and satisfied Chang'e, Su Fu asked again in a low voice: "When do you plan to return to the Moon Palace?"
As the fairy Chang'e who was banished to the mortal world, it is almost certain that she will return to the Moon Palace after her term expires.
When the time comes, she will just pat her butt and leave, and Su Su will only be left with helpless rage.
However, Chang'e said nonchalantly, "The underworld is in chaos, and the living world will soon be in chaos. There is also the remnant spirit of the evil god Chiyou wreaking havoc outside. The rules and regulations of the heavenly world are no longer applicable. Many sisters are living happily in the living world. Why should I go back? Besides, you have become a living god. If you know the way, it will not be difficult for you to go to the Moon Palace. Do you want me to take you to find the way?"
As he spoke, the coldness between his brows grew stronger, revealing a sense of being lonely at the top.
"But with your mediocre skills, if you rashly go to the Moon Palace, I'm afraid you can only be a female official serving tea and water, doing paperwork. Even if I protect you, it will be difficult for you to achieve success. It is far better for you to stay in the world of the living and try to become a celestial being."
Needless to say, Su Su also knew the reason behind this. Facing the banished Chang'e already made her feel a lot of pressure, not to mention that after Chang'e returned to the Moon Palace and lived in Guanghan Palace, she would be unable to resist at all and could play with her however she wanted.
This was totally unacceptable to Su Su.
Chapter 71 Nine Needles to Restore Yang
"Humph, I won't come here to eat free food."
Su Su made a righteous statement.
I would rather starve to death.
Jump down from here.
It's impossible to be a freeloader!
"I never knew you, a foxy girl, were quite ambitious."
Chang'e stared at Su Fu with amusement for a few times, and suddenly said, "I was planning to give you some benefits as a dowry, but after hearing what you said, I think I can give up that."
Su Su, who had just suffered a great loss at the hands of Chang'e, was extremely cautious and would never believe such nonsense which was obviously a joke.
Gnashing his teeth, he replied viciously: "If you dare not give me a dowry, I will run away from the marriage."
The initiative in our hands was gradually lost and we were controlled by others everywhere.
Even the terms of the threat have become ridiculous.
Everything was obviously fine when we left Guobei County. It was only a few days and it should have been a favorable situation for both sides to get what they needed. How did it turn out like this?
Su Su couldn't help but burst into tears.
The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. The ancients were right.
"Stop flirting, you two."
The woman surnamed Sun could no longer bear it, and she slammed her folding fan against her palm, saying, "If others see this, they will probably talk about it. The judge and the ghost messenger in the City God Temple should be back by now, so you two should restrain yourself."
Fortunately, she was not taken as a concubine. If she were caught between these two people in love, she would probably never have peace in the future.
But the woman called Foxy was totally unaware of what was going on and treated it as a normal argument.
Ah.
The sour smell of love is really annoying.
The two of them were flirting with each other for a while, until the cold wind started to rise and the civil and military judges of Lijin City God Temple returned to the city, then they restrained themselves.
"Honor God!"
Seeing the young and strong scholar appear with the cold wind, Judge Wen bowed and said, "We have found out where Wang Lan was buried. He was originally from Lijin, but he worked in Yanshen Town. He died of illness more than ten days ago and was buried in a nearby mountain valley five miles east of Yanshen Town. It is a new grave and there is no monument yet. Wang Lan's house is also nearby."
"Thank you all for your hard work. After I help Wang Lan come back to life, I will send the complaint to the underworld as soon as possible." Su Su nodded and replied.
The main purpose of the trip to the underworld is of course to seize the throne of Yama. If King Yama is unwilling to take care of the matter, she can just take charge of it.
After all, with the current high incidence of false and wrongful convictions in the underworld, the efficiency of the work is worrying, and it is unknown when the escaped Li Jin City God can be found.
Hearing Su Su's promise, Judge Wen showed joy on his face and said repeatedly: "South of Lijin, there is a ghost gate on the outskirts of Yishui City that can lead directly to the underworld, but it requires crossing the Wangchuan River. It is difficult for us ghosts to reach it, but for the gods, it is easy as pie."
"got it."
The dragons gathered dark clouds and brought down heavy rain in Yishui County, intending to launch a surprise attack, but they did not expect that the woman surnamed Sun had been brought to Lichuan by her.
After searching everywhere without any results, they will probably continue searching for the woman surnamed Sun in the vicinity of Yishui County.
By then, they will return to Yishui County without anyone noticing. These dragons would never have dreamed that such a dark drama would be staged.
Then, they would pass through the Ghost Gate to the underworld, whether they were heading to the underworld or leaving Shandong and returning to Guobei County, so that these dragons would never find any trace left by the woman surnamed Sun.
Having made up his mind, Su Su asked bluntly, "Is there a ghost king in the underworld of Yishui?"
"The Ghost Gate on the outskirts of Yishui city is controlled by the owner of Gegu Garden. Although there are ghost kings coveting it, it is still relatively peaceful." Judge Wen answered without hesitation.
To the owner of the orphanage.
When Su Su heard Judge Wen utter this title, he quickly remembered who the owner of the Solitary Garden was referring to.
In the story "Jinse" in Liaozhai, it is said that the lady was kind and set up the "Ji Gu Garden" to adopt the ghosts who died in the underworld. The owner of this Ji Gu Garden must be Jinse, the goddess of the underworld who collected and buried the homeless souls in the underworld.
The Ghost Gate of Yishui County is in Jinse's hands. Going down to the underworld from here is much safer than the Ghost Gate of Guobei County, which is located in the territory of Heishan Jun.
"After the incident with Wang Lan of Lijin, I will go to the underworld to file an appeal."
After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Judge Wen to reply.
Su Fu directly pulled Chang'e and the woman surnamed Sun into the underground and headed straight for Yanshen Town.
As she hurried on her way, she felt speechless.
Fortunately, we didn't wait until night to release the black-faced ghost to look for Wang Lan's burial place. Yanshen Town is two hundred miles south of Lijin County. If we go a little further south, we will reach Laiwu.
Who would have thought that Wang Lan was seduced by a ghost in a foreign land.
It took more than half an hour for Su Fu to lead Chang'e and the woman surnamed Sun to the vicinity of Yanshen Town.
The pottery industry is well developed here, with pottery factories everywhere, flames rising, smoke billowing, and many merchants coming and going, almost all of whom are engaged in pottery jar business.
With no intention of going into Yanshen Town to join in the fun, he turned around and headed east for more than five miles. Suddenly, he came to a valley, where, leaning against the mountain and beside the water, he saw a new grave made of yellow earth and without a tombstone.
He stretched out his hand to grasp the soul-beating ruler, added a little divine power, penetrated into the mud, and lifted it at will.
The earth mound of the tomb turned inside out in an instant, revealing a thin coffin in the tomb.
"Oh!"
After opening the coffin lid, Su Su saw the scene inside the coffin clearly. Although Wang Lan's soul had been away from his body for more than ten days, his body was not seriously decayed. A few corpse spots could be vaguely seen. The linen shroud he was wearing was as bright as new, but his face still had the purple-blue color of sudden death.
Strictly speaking, Wang Lan's body is dead beyond death, and any conventional treatment is futile. As long as Wang Lan is allowed to return to his body, his soul will immediately dissipate, and he will not even be able to be a ghost.
It is no wonder that the black-faced ghost would choose to take the risk to seize Hu San's inner elixir, keep Wang Lan's soul alive, and allow him to transform into a ghost immortal.
"At least Wang Lan's body hasn't decayed yet, so it won't be difficult to recover."
After observing Wang Lan's body for a few seconds, Su Su breathed a sigh of relief. He turned the soul-beating ruler in his hand to the side of the white ruler and poured his divine power into it.
'Soul-beating ruler: rewards good and punishes evil, black can hurt people's Yin spirits and destroy their Yin virtues, white can warm the soul and bestow blessings.'
Infused with divine power, the white ruler gradually radiated a warm and gentle aura, and then emitted a white mist.
As Su Su's mind moved slightly, the white mist spread over Wang Lan's body and slowly seeped into the flesh and blood under the skin. With the naked eye, it was visible that the corpse spots on the body gradually faded, and black and smelly blood seeped out from the pores of the skin, staining the linen shroud with blood spots.
The blood began to flow again, the body temperature slowly rose, and the purple color on the face that caused sudden death quickly dissipated as the blood clots seeped out of the pores of the skin.
After the energy completely dissipated, a thumping heartbeat could be heard from Wang Lan's chest, and a faint yang energy emerged on its own.
With the Jiangdu County City God's Seal in hand, he poured more than a hundred divine powers into the Soul-Beating Ruler regardless of the loss, and the resurrection of the dead was right before his eyes.
"If you forcefully revive a dead person, even if the soul enters the body, the life span will be greatly reduced. It is too extravagant to spend divine power to nurture him. I will use acupuncture to stimulate his vitality."
The woman surnamed Sun watched Wang Lan's body come back to life. Suddenly, several thin silver needles appeared between her fingers. She flicked her fingers and inserted the thin silver needles accurately into the acupuncture points through the linen shroud: "Yamen, Laogong, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan, Taixi, Zhongwan. Huantiao, Sanli, Hegu, these are the nine acupuncture points for returning yang."
Chapter 72 Li Jiantian
The woman surnamed Sun was very fast in acupuncture. In the blink of an eye, nine thin silver needles pierced into nine acupuncture points on Wang Lan's body.
As the silver needle trembled, Wang Lan's heartbeat speeded up suddenly, helping the weak yang energy to grow rapidly, and then stimulating the blood and qi to circulate throughout the body, making Wang Lan's skin, which had been pale for many days after his death, have some blood color.
Gradually, Wang Lan even regained her independent breathing.
After a bit of cold darkness was exhaled from her nostrils, the woman surnamed Sun said, "Let his soul enter your body, and you will be able to return to life."
Hearing this, Su Su had an idea, and the soul of Wang Lansheng, which had been locked up in the Soul-Beating Ruler and nurtured for many days, lightly fell into the body whose heartbeat and breathing had recovered.
"All right."
The woman surnamed Sun opened her palm and instantly retracted the slender silver needles that had pierced into nine acupuncture points on Wang Lan's body. She saw that Wang Lan's violently shaking chest gradually became less intense and her breathing slowly became even and smooth.
The corpse that was dead before has now turned into a living person in a coma.
"Is this okay?"
Su Su asked. It was her first time to help someone come back to life. She was a little worried that her skills were not good enough and she might suffer from any sequelae.
But the woman surnamed Sun had already put away the silver needle and said calmly, "He will wake up in less than half an hour. First, you use a lot of divine power to warm him up, and then I use the nine yang-restoring needles to stimulate his vitality. His physique will be much stronger in the future. I dare not say how brave he will be, but at least he will be free from all diseases. As long as he is not harmed by demons and monsters, it will be easy for him to die without illness."
"It's good that there are no hidden dangers. I have finally dealt with the things that needed to be done in Lijin. Since Wang Lan's house is nearby, I am too lazy to send him back."
After bringing Wang Lan back to life, Su Su felt relieved. The sun was shining brightly at that moment, so he was not afraid of any evil spirits appearing and killing Wang Lan.
The rainstorm in Yishui County is most likely not over yet. Laiwu is to the south of Yanshen Town. Hu San, who had his inner elixir nearly taken away by the black-faced ghost, once mentioned that he was reincarnated as a human being and practiced Taoism. His fourth brother, who was making great progress, was reborn in Laiwu.
He was called Mr. Hu Si.
But Su Su had no intention of heading south to look for Mr. Hu Si. After traveling back and forth for most of the day, she just wanted to find a place to stretch her limbs and lie down for a while.
Are you running around with nothing to do?
nonexistent.
Stealing a little time to relax in this busy life is Su Su's way of dealing with the world.
He asked the woman surnamed Sun directly, "Go to Yishui County after nightfall. You have been hiding in Shandong for so many days, so you should know a lot of secluded and deserted hiding places, right?"
"There is Yuan Mountain to the west of Yanshen Town. Because the Yuwang Temple was built on the main peak, it is commonly called Yuwang Mountain. The Wenshui River flows west and the Zishui River flows east, both of which originate from here. The mountains are majestic and the valleys are deep. It is difficult to find any trace of anything once you are in it." The woman surnamed Sun replied.
They hide in the mountains when they have a disagreement, no wonder they are forced to rely on others to avoid disasters.
"Can't we find a place to lie down and rest?"
As a last resort, Su Su had to speak out his true thoughts.
"It's just 3 p.m., and you want to find a place to lie down?"
The woman surnamed Sun's expression froze, and she stared at Su Su for a long time without saying a word.
The three of them arrived at Lijin County at noon and waited for the civil and military judges and the ghost runners in the City God Temple to search for the place where Wang Lan was buried. It took them less than half an hour.
It took more than half an hour to rush from Lijin County to Yanshen Town without stopping, but it didn't take much time to bring Wang Lan back to life, so it was only three quarters past three in the afternoon, not even two in the afternoon.
In the distance, the pottery factory in Yanshen Town was busy with work, with thick smoke billowing straight into the sky.
Someone decided to find a place to lie down and sleep.
"You can't blame me for this. I was so exhausted last night that I didn't sleep well the whole night." The humiliating experience of wanting to take revenge but being killed in return was like a thorn in Su Su's throat, and he couldn't get rid of his resentment.
But when these words reached the ears of the woman surnamed Sun, they had a completely different meaning. She only felt her face burning and her heart was filled with shame: "You are such a shameless vixen who would even say such a thing."
