Luo Shu was born from the very first ray of moonlight in the world, a celestial spirit goddess; the moon is her deity, jade her bones, and she possesses icy skin, a snowy complexion, and a face as ...
Chapter 52 The Belief in Ghosts and Gods 5
The next day, Zheng Laoqi went to the shop early. He had thought about it all night and decided to have his nephew come here to worship the female ghost for a week.
Currently, apart from the five brothers, only Zheng Xia in the Zheng family has accidentally come into contact with this evil star, so it can only be him.
He also called Zheng Xia to discuss it, and Zheng Xia agreed.
As a son of the Zheng family, and one who has been given special attention and training, this is a responsibility he should shoulder.
Zheng Laoqi held the rice noodle rolls and soy milk he had just bought that morning, lit the incense and candles. Luo Shu, who had watched TV all night, was still full of energy. Poor old TV, it probably won't be long before it needs to be replaced with a new one.
Zheng Laoqi stood awkwardly to the side and said, "Miss, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow. My nephew will come to watch the shop after I leave. Please feel free to ask him for anything."
Luo Shu glanced at Zheng Laoqi, whose dark aura between his brows was growing thicker. Tsk, he's not far from death.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Luo Shu revealed a malicious smile.
Zheng Laoqi was quick and efficient, and she loved the things he bought. Now that he's dead, I wonder if she can find someone like him again?
However, Zheng Laoqi had a certain aura about him that piqued her interest, so she decided to go with him this time as well.
After Luo Shu finished inhaling the incense, her red lips parted slightly: "I want to go with you."
For a moment, Zheng Laoqi was a little stunned. Ever since they "invited" Luo Shu back home from the tomb, she had basically stayed in the shop and hadn't moved an inch outside.
This time, she actually said she wanted to go together. Zheng Laoqi was about to refuse when he saw those eyes staring straight at him, the pupils extremely black, the black and white clearly distinct, sending chills down his spine.
His heart skipped a beat. Perhaps Luo Shu's recent good behavior had given him the illusion that she was an unspeakable ghost in front of him, and he was actually trying to reason with her.
Zheng Laoqi's back was soaked with sweat. He lowered his eyes and said respectfully, "Yes, Miss. We'll set off tomorrow. Thank you for coming with us."
No one took his polite remark to heart, but he did need to tell his brothers this news.
Luo Shu is going along, so she definitely needs to prepare some things. She should bring incense, and snacks can be bought on the way. But it's better to bring some things, since Jin Province is not as developed as Shenzhen. If this little devil wants to eat something but can't buy it, he'll throw a tantrum, and then they'll have a hard time dealing with it.
The door remained closed today. Zheng Laosan locked the door and went back to tell a few people the news.
The group was furious when they heard this. This scoundrel wanted to go to Shanxi Province with them! Everyone instinctively refused, their eyes fixed on Zheng Laoqi.
Zheng Laoqi lit a cigarette, the white smoke drifting slowly. His voice was low and mocking: "Can we refuse? Do you even know what kind of person she is?"
The crowd's surging enthusiasm was doused with cold water, cooling them down completely, inside and out. Yes, they had no leverage to negotiate with her.
Luo Shu's "I'm going" was to inform them, not to ask them.
Well, if I can't resist, then I have to accept it.
After packing their things and getting ready, the group set off around 10 p.m. For their line of work, traveling at night is easier than during the day.
They still drove two cars. Zheng Laoqi's car was in front, with Zheng Shiyi, the youngest among them, in the passenger seat.
The younger ones are more energetic and vigorous; this was the result of discussions among several people, with the minority submitting to the majority.
Luo Shu was naturally in the back seat, but it was pitch black and no one could be seen.
Zheng Laoqi drove carefully. At this time, the country was just beginning to develop, there were not many cars on the road, and most of the roads were dirt roads, which were not easy to drive on. Zheng Laoqi drove very carefully.
Zheng Shiyi was half asleep and half awake. He needed to rest to keep his energy up, as he still had to drive in the second half of the night.
In the dead of night, when passing through villages, some dogs would bark at their bikes. It was unclear whether they were startled by the bikes or... had seen something.
Zheng Laoqi and Zheng Shiyi exchanged a deep glance. Forget it, it's not something they can handle anyway. Let's keep driving.
It took two days by car to reach Shanxi Province.
The two-day drive was truly exhausting; even these grown men were finding it difficult to keep up. Luo Shu hadn't shown up yet, and the jade cicada they had placed in a brocade box on the back seat remained unchanged after two days.
The hotel they booked was very close to the tomb, only a ten-minute drive away.
Many people received this message, and the hotel was fully booked. There were only 4 rooms left, and they all wanted them.
One room will definitely be reserved for that jinx. The remaining three rooms will be shared among the three brothers, two by two. The eldest brother, Zheng, will live alone next to Luo Shu.
Luo Shu, being a spirit, naturally wouldn't suffer in the carriage with them.
These past two days, she has been hiding inside the jade cicada, sleeping for a while. In that short time, her cultivation level has risen again, and she has already reached the Yin God level. She is not afraid of Xie Bi'an (Black Impermanence).
Zheng Laoqi held the wooden box and respectfully placed it on the table in the room.
Then you see a pair of slender, fair legs dangling from the table, a blue cheongsam partially concealing the snow-white skin, embroidered shoes dangling from the toes, exuding a captivating charm that stirs the heart.
Zheng Shiyi couldn't help but swallow, then shivered from the chilling ghostly aura, his face turning pale.
He's really blinded by greed; with such a wicked person right in front of him, he's still thinking about all sorts of nonsense.
Even if one warns oneself a thousand times, how can a mortal remain unmoved by such fragrant and beautiful colors?
Zheng Laoqi and the others bowed respectfully, and Luo Shu said lazily, "Go and buy me some food, something delicious."
The group accepted the order and headed straight for the local food street.
The other groups were all watching Zheng Laoqi and his group, and when they saw them going to the snack street to buy food, they were all somewhat incredulous.
These people brave wind and rain, and they eat only to fill their stomachs; they have no interest in buying snacks from the food street.
These few families, who were eyeing Zheng Laoqi and his group, were well-known black market dealers in the underworld.
Seeing Zheng Laoqi's behavior, they became even more afraid that there was a trap involved, so they became more careful and kept a closer eye on them.
Zheng Laoqi and his men knew that someone was watching them, so they also arranged for a lot of shovels to keep watch for them.
There was nothing they could do; that demon star wanted to eat them, and they couldn't refuse.
Whether there are good things or not is secondary; if they can't serve that devil, they can only die.
They could clearly see what was more important and what was less important.
Several grown men returned carrying a large bag of food and a bag of clothes, also bought for Luo Shu.
It was Zheng Laoqi who suddenly walked into the women's clothing store with a blank expression and personally picked it out.
He looked like he was possessed by a ghost, his eyes were dull and his expression was blank.
After buying the clothes, Zheng Laoqi finally calmed down. Just now, it really was true; he had been possessed by a ghost.
The brothers returned to the hotel and went straight to Luo Shu's room. They lit incense and stuck it on the food for Luo Shu to enjoy.
The clothes spontaneously combusted without fire; the bluish-green flames licked away at the clothes little by little, leaving no ash. A large bag of clothes vanished into thin air.
For Luo Shu, a Yin spirit, storing a few pieces of clothing was a simple matter.
She still valued the food, savoring the spicy soup, mutton stew, and other snacks from Shanxi Province, a look of satisfaction on her face.
After she finished eating, as Zheng Laoqi and the others cleaned up the leftovers and went outside, they heard that cold, eerie female voice say:
“Your deaths are imminent. Staying here for the next two days may save your lives.”
