C46 (2/2)
Just as they were about to set off the firecrackers, a beggar came from the distance. Before he could even open his mouth, he was scolded by the rich man's servants. Not only did he not allow the servants to chase the beggar away, he even gave the beggar a few coins.
The beggar nodded and shouted at the old rich man, ”My lord, your family has so many chickens, where is Phoenix Prison?”
When the old miser heard this, he casually said, ”How can there be a phoenix?”
As soon as the rich man finished speaking, the beggar shook his head and left. The others didn't care either, thinking that the beggar had gone mad. A few days after the beggar had left, the chickens at the old rich man's house all died one by one.
The old miser thought that the blacksmith was up to something, so he invited Mr. Yinyang. When Mr. Yinyang came, he reprimanded the old man, ”You don't know how to handle matters, so you're going to make things difficult for others. Let the blacksmith go.”
In fact, Mr. Yin Yang knew that the old moneybag had said something wrong and was afraid that he would offend the craftsman again. The craftsman took the money and left. Mr. Yin Yang asked the old moneybag if anyone asked him about the chicken.
Before the old rich man could recall, he heard the servant say, ”A beggar asked the lord where Phoenix Pass is located?”
Mister Yin Yang sighed and said, ”This beggar is helping you …”
Seeing that the rich old man and the others did not understand, Yin Yang explained, ”If the beggar asks you a phoenix, then he's asking you for a wager. Seeing that the rich old man and the rich old man did not understand, he explained,” The beggar asked you a phoenix, so he asked you for a wager.
After hearing this, the old rich man cried incessantly. Of course, this was all in the future.
The little ghost ran away, but the man told me that there were at least four or five of them and at most a dozen of them.
But rest assured, he will help me.
I could only grit my teeth and force myself to walk forward. After taking a few steps, I saw a tilted tree with a black rope floating back and forth. It was when I was looking at the rope.
From behind, Danshen's voice sounded, ”Lingyue, why didn't you …”
Subconsciously, I wanted to turn around to look, but that man stopped me.
”Don't turn your head. This is a ghost that wants to extinguish your three Yang Flames and absorb their essence energy. Don't turn your head, and don't raise your foot either.”
I did as I was told and stood there shaking with the fear in my heart. After a few minutes, the tree and the hand on my shoulder both disappeared.
Only then did the man let me go on.
After that, they walked for a distance. It was very calm, as if nothing had happened. He just wanted to ask if that man had already passed.
He saw a woman dressed in red sitting on a rock not far away. Her hair was as black as ink and fell down from her head like a waterfall, reaching below her knees.
Holding a wooden comb in one hand and stroking my combed hair with the other, I took a few steps forward and heard a melodious voice say, ”Sister, come and sit.”
I did not move, but waited for the man's instructions.
”Go, be careful, don't get too close!”
With a man's words, I felt emboldened. I slowly approached the female ghost and stopped about two meters away from her.
The red-clothed female ghost wore a bright red robe that fluttered in the wind. It felt as if there was no body within her clothes, an empty feeling.
Her long black hair obscured her face, and I couldn't make out her features.
When the ghost lady in red saw me sitting down, she let out a deep sigh.
