I am immortal

"Selling ghosts?!"

Li Yuelin's face was slightly dull. There were all kinds of businesses in the world, but he had never heard of anyone selling ghosts. He was anxious and confused, and he quickly urged: "What is going on, please tell me quickly. "

Li Yi took a sip of tea first, recalled briefly, and then slowly began to tell the story.

……………………

It was a night trip, and I was doing business near the capital.

I plan carefully and always feel that even if I don't make much money, at least I will cling to those big shots and I won't lose everything.

It's a pity, I still lost the money.

I'm so stupid, so stupid.

The big shots in the dynasty may appear amiable on the surface, but their actions are darker than anyone else's and more ruthless than anyone else's. They drain bone marrow and strip away flesh and blood, leaving nothing behind. Stay.

I have to lose money and have no shame in going back to my hometown.

I had no choice but to wander outside, thinking and thinking, to see if I could find a way to make up for it, but I still couldn't think of it. I thought about going home, but I was really unwilling to go back to my hometown in disgrace. ah.

Walking around, I don't know when I came under the old locust tree three miles outside the city.

It was at this time that I encountered the ghost.

Then it suddenly appeared.

I dared to ask it who it was.

He said: "I am a ghost!"

Then he asked me: "Who are you asking for?"

I was extremely poor at that time, but I was still afraid of death. I said that death was inevitable, so I gritted my teeth and said, "I am also a ghost!"

The ghost was puzzled, walked around me for a long time, and said:

"Then where are you going?"

I answered him, "I'm going to the big city of Wancheng."

The ghost said happily: "I want to go to Wancheng City too!"

My hands and feet felt cold all of a sudden, and I knew that this big market might not be the same thing, but the words had already been spoken, and there was no way to swallow them back.

So, the ghost followed me.

I had no choice but to go with him.

There was a ghost behind me. My limbs were all stiff, but the ghost was relaxed and said, "It's too slow and tiring to walk like this. How about we carry each other on our backs?"

The ghost stared at me with a pair of green eyes. I didn't dare to refuse, for fear of being noticed by him.

Just grit your teeth and agree.

The ghost first carried me on its back and walked ten miles in one breath.

Then he asked: "Why are you so serious? Isn't it a ghost?"

When the ghost was talking, his eyes turned green, fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, and drool came out.

My heart almost stopped beating at that time, so I had to forcefully say:

"I just died, so it's just heavier. Don't think too much about it."

Then it was me who carried him on my back, so light that I could walk faster. We carried each other on his back three times, and the fear in my heart became a little less. After thinking about it for a long time, the secret would definitely be revealed. It was inevitable that he would be eaten by ghosts, so he lied to him:

"I just died and became a ghost. Are there any taboos about being a ghost?"

The ghost replied: "I don't like blood on the tip of my tongue."

Then when I walked forward, I encountered a river. When the ghost passed by, it almost floated by without making any sound. It was very loud when I passed by.

That ghost started to doubt me again.

This time, his eyes were glowing red, saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth, and even his fingers had black nails sticking out, like hooks, and the fingers turned a miserable green:

"Why are you making such a loud noise?!"

My heart almost jumped out of my chest, but he didn't seem to notice.

I had no choice but to hold on to my face and say:

"I just died. I'm a newly dead ghost. I'm not used to crossing the river like a ghost. Don't blame me."

The ghost stared at me up and down without making a sound.

I think it’s not that he didn’t recognize me, but that he regarded me as an animal mount. He planned to sell me to the ghost market, cut out my heart, liver, and muscle cramps...

As expected, he did not go to a regular big market, but went to the big locust tree outside Wancheng. He knocked on the door three times and shouted several times to open the door. Then the road came out. I was cruel and took advantage of each other to carry each other. If you get the chance, pick him up at once.

He quickly ran inside and shouted: "Selling ghosts, selling ghosts!"

That ghost didn't expect——

When people are poor, ghosts will sell.

The ghost yelled at me, and when he was about to climb down, he used the magic of transformation and turned into a sheep. He broke away and I bit my tongue, and the blood from the tip of my tongue spurted on him, but he couldn't. Change again.

But I was worried that if time passed, he would change back, so I sold him to an old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest led the sheep with a rope inlaid with jade and pulled it away.

I was given a package. My heart was beating so fast that I ran back to a safe place. I opened it and almost dazzled my eyes when I opened it.

There was a full one hundred and fifty taels of gold in it.

………………

The pot of tea was finished.

Li Yixian's story has been finished. When he spoke, his palms were shaking, and he finally calmed down. You can know how scared he was at the time, even though his memories are clear now.

If you take even one wrong step, you may be dead.

Li Yuelin almost forgot to drink tea after hearing this, and then comforted his brother with a sweet voice. Li Yi exhaled first and said: "But it's okay now, we have so much gold, so much, so much gold." ah."

“Our family can’t just have a foothold here.”

"You can also go out, go to Fucheng, to the county town!"

"Go somewhere bigger!"

"Guangzong Yaozu, I have never failed my ancestors or my parents!"

Li Yixian's words became a little confused again.

Li Yuelin comforted him, and suddenly thought of something. He looked at the gold on the table and said, "But after all, these golds were obtained by selling evil spirits in the ghost market. Will it attract more people?" Evil ghost?"

Li Yixian shook his head and said: "Don't worry, brother."

"I was worried about such a thing, so I made a special trip to the capital, prayed devoutly in the Taoist temple there, and asked the Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil. Then I calmed down and returned home to Zhongzhou."

"When I go home this time, I don't plan to go out again."

"Get a wife and settle down."

"rest assured."

Li Yixian smiled and comforted:

"Absolutely, absolutely nothing will happen."

………………

Click!

The ax fell and split the wood.

Qi Wuhuo lifted his axe, looked at the firewood that had been split and piled next to him, and then raised his head to look at the mountain in the distance - under the sun, this mountain gave people a sense of peace and tranquility.

"The snow is not heavy and the mountains are not closed."

"It's a good thing."

Speaking of which, tomorrow is the time for Li Puyu to invite him to Li's house.
