Chapter 6 All men deserve to die (except the little Taoist priest) [New book, please collect it! ]
It was originally agreed that Li Chu and a group of detectives would stay at Xue's house and wait for the vengeful spirit to show up.
But the detectives in the yamen were all very righteous. In front of the remaining female members of the Xue family, they patted their chests and blew their whistles three times and six times, claiming that they would definitely drive away the evil spirits and give them a beautiful home.
After the women of the Xue family were settled in a nearby inn, it was getting dark and the detectives came to do their work.
In some families, their mothers were sick, in some families, their wives were cheating on them, and in some families, their mothers were cheating on them... In short, they all scattered in all of a sudden.
Finally, Zhou Dafu was furious: "Damn it! I was just going to the toilet when I wasn't paying attention and let these bastards slip away! Taoist Xiao Li, don't worry, I'll go and catch them one by one!"
After Captain Zhou finished speaking, he walked out the door with a heroic and confident look, and then... he never came back.
But Li Chu already knew that they were like this.
He was also happy that there was no one to get in the way when he was exorcising ghosts.
…
In the bedroom in the side courtyard of the Xue family.
Li Chu sat on a chair behind the screen, with a sword across his knees, quietly waiting for the vengeful spirit to appear.
This bedroom is cold and deserted, with extremely simple furnishings, in stark contrast to the large and luxuriously decorated bedroom in the backyard. No wonder the eldest lady of the Xue family felt such strong resentment when she was suddenly driven here.
There is a worn white mark on the bare beam. That is where the lady hanged herself. Her vengeful spirit will also appear from here.
The night in Yuhang Town is quiet.
The evening breeze gently sways the willow branches.
Because it was summer, the doors and windows in the front and back of the bedroom were open, and a breeze came in, bringing some coolness.
This coolness soon turned into a slight chill.
It was quickly getting colder.
Another gust of wind blew up, suddenly blowing out the already dim lights in the house.
Li Chu, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and something appeared!
Silently, a figure appeared hanging on the beam in front of the screen.
Its neck was stretched out long, its tongue swaying, and through the screen one could see that it was wearing heavy attire, which looked like formal attire.
When Li Chu opened his eyes and looked at her, he felt that the figure hanging above was also looking at him.
After a long time, a cold and eerie voice rang out in the room: "All men must die—"
Li Chu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Madam, you don't have to do this. If Xue Dayong let you down, you will recognize that he is a heartless person, but why do you have to risk your life for revenge?"
The vengeful spirit didn't have much intelligence left, so he didn't know whether this communication would be effective, but he felt that the truth should still be told.
Every vengeful spirit dies with a breath of resentment, and he hopes that they will not die with this resentment.
But the voice sounded again: "All men must die--"
This time the tone was even more mournful, and the cold wind outside blew even harder, making a whistling sound and causing the doors and windows to slam.
Li Chu added: "I know you have resentment in your heart, but one cannot dispel hatred by hurting oneself. Even if Xue Dayong is killed by you this time, you yourself will not have a good end, so why bother?"
The voice was still relentless: "All men must die—"
As she shouted this sentence for the third time, the whole room became bone-chillingly cold, and even the mist condensed into fine frost.
Li Chu also began to have hallucinations. Outside, he could vaguely hear the joy of a wedding, but inside the house, a heartbroken woman hanged herself miserably in the darkness. It was the hottest time of summer, but it felt like falling into an icy cave.
"Even if you turn into a vengeful spirit to seek revenge, you shouldn't vent your anger on all men." Li Chu ignored it and continued, "If there is any conflict in the world, it should only be between good people and bad people. Men and women should not be opposed in any way. It's not enough that you harmed Xue Dayong, how innocent are those servants of the Xue family?"
Li Chu finished his last words.
The figure hanging on the beam began to sway, as if ready to break free from the long rope around his neck at any moment. A sharp voice came out of his throat again, "All men must die—"
Li Chu listened to the usual cries and sighed helplessly.
It really doesn't work to reason with vengeful spirits.
Human beings are essentially repeaters.
The vengeful spirits are even more so.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the long rope was broken, and the hanging figure fell to the ground but did not fall, but stood firmly in the same place! The next second, it passed through the screen!
In an instant, Li Chu saw the true face of this lady.
She was wearing a thick white burial garment, and her face was a terrifying iron blue. Her facial features before she was born could no longer be seen. The most eye-catching thing was, of course, her long, swaying red tongue.
She came in front of Li Chu, opened her hands, and pretended to pounce forward. Her ten fingers with swollen nails were about to strike out, accompanied by her only line: "Men are..."
Li Chu's eyes narrowed, and his right hand was already grasping the scabbard.
Kill the ghost with sword in an instant!
But the lady's voice and movements stopped at the same time!
Her long neck suddenly became stiff, and her body bent, but she did not pounce on him. Instead, she hesitated and took two steps back.
Because his hands were raised high, he was about to attack with his claws, but now it looked like he was about to surrender.
"Man...man..." She sobbed in her throat, and after a while, she uttered, "What a handsome man."
Um?
A confused black line appeared on Li Chu's forehead.
What's with this sudden compliment? Although he hears this sentence many times every day, it is still a novel experience to hear it in this context.
"Men...men all..." The scarlet blood in the lady's eyes gathered and dispersed, as if she was experiencing a painful struggle in her heart.
Li Chu let her struggle between her conscience and her desires and did not take advantage of the opportunity to attack her.
She shook stiffly for a long time, and finally, it seemed that the deep black prevailed.
The cold wind around suddenly stopped.
"If Xue Dayong was so handsome, I might not hate him so much." Her voice calmed down and no longer had that shrill tone.
It feels weird, but...
The resentment doesn't seem to be as strong anymore.
"Madam... have you let go of the resentment in your heart?" Li Chu held the hilt of the sword, hesitating for a moment whether to draw the sword.
"Haha, it's not that easy." The lady shook her head and sneered, swinging her long red tongue back and forth.
It was clearly a simple action, but it looked extremely horrifying when she did it.
Upon hearing this, Li Chu wanted to draw his sword again.
His strength had already reached her wrist, and suddenly he saw the lady raise her head and look at him with a terrifying iron-blue face.
"But if you are willing to hug me, little Taoist priest, then I will probably be able to let it go."
ha?
A circle of question marks suddenly appeared above Li Chu's head.
He really hasn't seen much of the world, and he really doesn't know, exorcism...is there such a process?
"I have never hugged such a handsome man in my life." The lady said again.
The tone seems a little shy?
Li Chu was stunned, staring at the lady's face. This face was really unpleasant to the eyes.
What's more, letting evil spirits get close to you is a very dangerous thing.
but……
If this could dispel her resentment...
Li Chu loosened the scabbard with his right hand and slowly opened his arms expressionlessly.
There seemed to be a smile on the lady's face. She pounced on him but did not extend her claws. She was speaking from the heart.
In fact, she didn't hug Li Chu.
Ghosts are virtual entities, and humans are real entities. The two can attack each other with spiritual power, but they cannot touch each other.
As she flew towards Li Chu, her body began to disappear.
Little memories came to mind.
When she was young, there was also a handsome young man who proposed to her. Although he was not half as handsome as this young Taoist priest, he was also a famous handsome man in the area.
But she preferred the ugly Xue Dayong because she felt that ugly people were more down-to-earth.
Because of this, she often felt resentful towards Xue Dayong in the days that followed.
I gave up the handsome guy and followed you, an ugly person, so of course you have to be nice to me.
With this kind of mentality, even the most loving couple will have a gap between them.
Xue Dayong's taking a concubine was actually the last straw that broke the camel's back for her.
She didn't expect that Xue Da, who had always been a coward, would bravely take a concubine despite her opposition and even dare to drive her to the side courtyard for the concubine.
When she was filled with resentment, that person happened to appear...
That’s right!
The lady suddenly opened her eyes. She had something to tell the little Taoist priest!
But it can no longer be said. When the vengeful spirit loses its last breath of resentment, it will disappear into thin air.
Li Chu watched the lady dissipate as she flew towards him, blinked, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he touched his face.
Although he often heard others say that he was handsome, he actually didn't have a clear idea in his mind.
In fact, he always felt that his appearance was ordinary.
Because he is face-blind.
