Chapter 18 Can the world ever get better? [New book, please collect it! ]
It was a stormy night half a year ago...
Wang Longqi went to a brothel in Hangzhou to attend a party with his friends. He played until midnight and then rode home on horseback. On the way, a sudden storm came. There happened to be a pavilion in front of him, so he went in to take shelter from the rain.
Who would have known that there was a young girl living alone in that building, with a beautiful face and charming appearance.
The girl was beautiful and enthusiastic. She not only invited him into her home to take a bath and change clothes, but also asked him to drink sugar water.
Wang Longqi had just had a wild party in a brothel at that time, and he was like a saint, without any evil thoughts in his heart.
But as soon as he entered the girl's bedroom, he seemed to have lost his soul and somehow had sex with the girl.
When he woke up again, he found himself sleeping next to a desolate grave.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he clearly remembered that the girl asked him to marry her at this time tomorrow.
There were rumors about the ghost bride in Yuhang Town during those days. It was said that the ghost bride specifically lured young men to her grave, and after having sex with her, they must marry her, otherwise she would come to their homes and kill their entire family.
But how can a living person marry a dead person?
Since the dead cannot be resurrected, the living can only die.
At present, two or three middle-aged men have died mysteriously, and the government is also investigating this strange case. Wang Longqi thought that he must have encountered a ghost bride, so he hurried to find Zhou Dafu.
Chow Tai Fook brought him to meet Li Chu.
The next night, Li Chu went to the ghost bride's grave with him.
As expected, the ghost bride appeared, wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robe, riding a rat-drawn ghost carriage, dressed as a bride, and floating over.
The moment she landed, she looked at Wang Longqi, then at Li Chu, and then...
Without hesitation, she said to Li Chu: "You finally came to marry me!"
Wang Longqi didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
The story ends with Li Chu's ruthless sword.
…
Wang Longqi became friends with Li Chu.
Although they didn't meet often, in his heart, Li Chu had saved his life and was definitely his lifelong friend.
In Li Chu's heart, Wang Longqi donated a large sum of money to Deyun Temple, and he is definitely his good friend...
This good friend hurried to the temple on such a rainy day.
Wang Longqi knew Li Chu's character, so he didn't waste any words.
He got straight to the point: "I came to see you this time because I recently fell in love with a girl..."
Li Chu subconsciously asked: "Is it a human or a ghost?"
"Of course it's a human!" Wang Longqi jumped up reflexively, looking very angry: "I have always liked humans. As for ghosts... that time was just an accident!"
As he was talking, he felt that his reaction was a bit exaggerated. He smiled sheepishly, sat back down, and said aggrievedly, "You don't know what kind of life I've been living for the past six months."
It’s really not your fault that he is so sensitive. The last time he slept with the ghost bride, he stayed at home for a month before his yang energy fully recovered.
I was originally full of joy to return to the arena.
But when he went out to play again, he found that his story had somehow been spread.
Whenever I go out, there will be people pointing fingers at me from behind.
A friend for life and death...Dead Knight...It's okay for my friends to make fun of me with these nicknames.
The most desperate thing was that he found that the girls in the brothel began to dislike him!
For this reason, he even went to eavesdrop on the whispers between a prostitute and the madam of Chun Man Lou...
"That person was slept with by a ghost. Is that unlucky?"
"Of course. If a human eats something that has been eaten by ghosts, it would be like stealing offerings from a grave. How can it be good?"
"Hey - stop talking about it, it's scary. Whoever wants to go can go, but I won't do business with him."
"It's a pity that such a rich young man was ruined by a ghost. Alas, who would dare to marry such an unclean man in the future?"
"Humph, flies don't bite cracked eggs. It must be because he dressed up so fancy in the middle of the night that the female ghost targeted him!"
Hearing these words, Master Wang Qi was so angry that he was shaking all over. In the hottest day, he was sweating all over, his hands and feet were cold, and tears were streaming down his face.
…
"Do you think the world can ever get better?" After many days, he still couldn't help but shed tears when he recalled it.
Wronged.
Li Chu listened to his complaints, nodded, and then looked at him calmly.
Wang Longqi widened his moist eyes and said angrily, "Don't you have sympathy for me? I haven't touched a woman for half a year!"
Li Chu nodded and continued to look at him calmly.
Wang Longqi wanted to say something else, but looking at Li Chu's handsome face, it seemed to be full of the words "eighteen years"...
The grief and anger gradually disappeared.
"You are just wasting nature's gifts. If I looked like you, those prostitutes in the brothel would definitely not despise me." Wang Longqi muttered, paused, and whispered: "I guess I can even sleep with a female ghost in my bed..."
Li Chu said expressionlessly: "You should tell me the purpose of your visit."
"Oh, I almost forgot." Wang Longqi was too absorbed in the moment because of the rare opportunity to speak his heart out.
He collected his thoughts and started talking again: "I was forced to retire from the underworld. After careful consideration, I have had enough fun these years. It is time for me to find an honest girl to marry."
"But having fun is easy, but getting married is not that simple. My Wang family is one of the most powerful families in Yuhang Town. The wife I want to marry must be from a scholarly family, virtuous, beautiful, intelligent, loyal, filial, and fraternal."
"I kept searching, and I actually ran into one the other day."
When this was mentioned, Wang Longqi's eyes regained their spirit.
"I was struck by her beauty the first time I saw her. Her background, appearance, conversation, and temperament were all the most perfect I had ever seen. I made up my mind at that time that I would marry her in this life!"
"but!"
"How hateful that Zhao Liangcai had to interfere. He actually fell in love with this girl!"
"He doesn't even take a sip of dog piss to reflect on his own behavior, yet he dares to compete with me!"
"He used to do this in Chun Man Lou. I also let him do it in Hangzhou. That time..."
Wang Longqi became angrier as he spoke.
Zhao Liangcai is none other than the young master of the Zhao family, a wealthy family in Yuhang Town.
The reason why Wang Longqi said that the Wang family is one of the best, rather than the only one, is because of the existence of the Zhao family.
If the Wang family is number one, the Zhao family is number two. If the Zhao family is number one, the Wang family is number two.
He went off topic and recounted the grudges between the two.
Li Chu put his hands into his sleeves boredly.
Wang Longqi sat up straight immediately upon seeing this and continued, "This morning, he and I bumped into each other. He even mentioned that I was bewitched by a ghost... again. Don't hit someone in the face, don't expose their shortcomings when you scold them! That guy is really hateful! I almost had a fight with him. If there hadn't been someone there to stop us, haha, I guess his family would have started playing suona by now. Don't think I'm bragging, back then..."
Li Chu frowned impatiently.
"We made a bet in a fit of rage!" Wang Longqi hurried back to the topic.
"Isn't there a haunted building near the Liu Family Archway? His family has reserved the entire piece of land, and they dare not move the haunted building. He made a bet with me, we both stay in the haunted building for a night, and see who can escape unscathed."
"Whoever dares not or is afraid to run away loses. From now on, you are not allowed to compete with the other party for any girl. If you see him on the road, you must retreat!"
"Later, he backed off, not me. So he added another condition: we could both bring someone in with us. Naturally, I thought of you first."
"Li Chu, we are friends, right?" Wang Longqi grabbed Li Chu's sleeve: "Now only you can help me!"
Li Chu pulled out his sleeves calmly.
The Liu Family Haunted House...
As a native of Yuhang Town, he had certainly heard of this famous place. Unexpectedly, these two rich second-generations would go there to commit suicide.
It feels a bit troublesome.
Wang Longqi saw his hesitation and said, "If you help me this time, I will renovate the entire Deyun Temple for you and double its size."
Li Chu raised his head and said slowly: "This is not about money... We are friends."
I saw someone mention it today, so I'll talk about it here. It is true that a bet from the Book of Doom is used here, but it is just a similar bet to introduce the plot. The subsequent characters and plots are completely different. This kind of bet has also been seen in old Hong Kong movies, so I thought about it and used it. In fact, it is not necessary, but I couldn't think of what to write at the time, and I couldn't change it later.
