"Young Master, the road chosen by the coachman is filled with ghostly aura."
Inside the carriage, Daji rubbed Li Nianfan's shoulders and said, "He seems very conflicted and scared."
"Ghostly aura?"
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "Is this old man trying to harm us? Can you deal with this ghostly aura?" Daji
said, "It's just a little ghost. Don't worry, Young Master. With Sister Huofeng and I here, there are only a few dangers that can threaten you."
Li Nianfan smiled with relief, even a little curious, "It doesn't matter, just treat it as an adventure."
He didn't feel how shameful it was to live under the protection of his wife. He didn't know the sweetness of having a soft meal, just because he was too young.
Moreover, Li Nianfan, this soft rice, is really fragrant, fragrant inside and out...
"Tut, tut, tut!"
The carriage continued to move. Apart from the sound of horse hooves, there was no other sound along the way. Soon, they arrived at a boundary marker with the three characters "Qingshan Village" engraved on it.
Where there is a village, there is a town. The town is in the middle, and the village is built around the town. This is the majority of structures in the mortal world, and it is also the style that the Xia Dynasty has been promoting. After all, humans are social animals, especially in the world of cultivating immortals. There are not many villages that stand alone in the wilderness.
The carriage stopped in front of the boundary marker of Qingshan Village. The old man driving the carriage was a little absent-minded and hesitant. He said to the carriage, "Young man, Qingshan Village is ahead. Shall we go in?"
Li Nianfan said, "Let's keep going."
"Okay."
The old man responded, and the knot on his face suddenly became much less. He seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and passed the hurdle in his heart.
You said you wanted to go in. You can't blame me if something goes wrong.
The carriage started moving again and passed the boundary marker.
Li Nianfan opened the curtain and looked out. What he saw was a gurgling river, green grass and trees along the way. The environment looked quite good.
In the direction of travel, you can already see rows of houses and many people. It doesn't look like a dirty village.
The only thing that surprised Li Nianfan was that there were too many people gathered at the gate of the village.
Most of them were women. Most of
them were pretty. They all
looked up and looked forward to seeing their husbands. If you didn't know, you would think they were collectively waiting for their husbands.
At the gate of the village, there seemed to be someone guarding it, but they turned a blind eye to the passers-by. It was unknown what the meaning of their existence was.
The old man's voice was a little trembling, "Young... Young hero, we're here."
Li Nianfan took Daji out of the car and said casually, "Thank you, how much is it?"
"Ah! So beautiful!"
The group of people at the village gate suddenly screamed, especially the group of women, who had been worried and pitiful before.
Now they were dancing with excitement, their faces flushed, staring at Daji without blinking, as if they were crazy.
If these women were targeting Li Nianfan, Li Nianfan would definitely feel very comfortable, but now they were targeting Daji, which seemed particularly strange.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but frown, and silently blocked little Daji, and came to me if you have anything to say.
"No, no need to pay!"
The old man still kept his head down. This time, he didn't dare to look at Li Nianfan. He
went to find the guards at the entrance of the village by himself, and actually got a bag of silver.
"Goodbye, young man."
Before Li Nianfan could ask, he drove the carriage quickly and left in a puff of smoke.
Li Nianfan could only bring Daji to the guard post and asked curiously, "Did the old man just get a bag of reward money?"
The leader was a middle-aged man. He looked at the two of them with complicated eyes and nodded, "Yes, it's the reward for bringing you here."
If the women around were excited to see Daji, the men around looked at Daji with sympathy and regret.
Another man said, "Little brother, take your wife to our village and have a good meal. Eat as much as you want, it's free."
Li Nianfan frowned, feeling a little puzzled, but at this moment, a female voice suddenly came from behind him -
"I heard that if a beautiful woman comes here, there will be a reward of ten taels of silver, and you can eat and drink for free. Is it true?"
Turning back, I saw a woman wearing a light green gauze skirt, with short hair and a red dot on her forehead, which added a bit of charm.
She was wearing very cool clothes. When the breeze blew, the gauze skirt flew up, revealing a pair of long legs as white as jade, and a red ribbon tied around her slender waist.
Behind the woman, there was a young man rubbing his head in confusion because of what the woman said.
During this gap of observation, the brother and sister had already walked to the guard. The woman raised her hand and said, "Give me the money."
The guard was still a little confused and handed the money bag to him blankly. "Here."
The woman took the money bag, weighed it, and then accepted it with satisfaction and chuckled happily.
Li Nianfan said in surprise: "Giving money to a beautiful woman for free, is there such a good thing?"
Isn't this kind of appearance discrimination too much, and there is also gender discrimination.
"Good thing? This is money to buy life!"
The woman curled her lips. The ordinary Li Nianfan was obviously not as attractive as Daji, and the woman's eyes were instantly fixed.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she said mysteriously: "Let me tell you, every three days, the most beautiful woman in Qingshan Village will die!"
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, "The most beautiful woman dies?" "
Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're scared."
The woman shook her head and said with a smile: "The women just now all felt that their beauty was not inferior to others, so they were always worried that they would be the next to die. However, when they saw this sister, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was someone blocking the way ahead."
"Is that so?"
Li Nianfan nodded. No wonder the women were so excited, and the man felt sorry instead.
As long as there were more beautiful women coming to block the disaster, the original women would not have to die. No wonder they would rather give money.
In other words, were he and Daji so inexplicably deceived by that old man? People are so sinister.
But the woman continued, "But now it's all right. I happened to be here, so the sister's misfortune naturally shifted to me."
The boy next to him suddenly said, "Sister, I think it obviously hasn't shifted."
"Bang!"
A big bump suddenly appeared on the boy's head, and he looked shaky.
The woman stopped and said calmly, "I'm sorry, my brother always likes to talk nonsense, please forgive me."
Is this nonsense?
This is clearly the fact!
Everyone looked at the woman's fist, thought about it, and swallowed their words back. Forget it, justice is in the hearts of the people, and it would be unpleasant to say it out loud.
"You two, let's have a meal together, I'll treat you." The woman smiled and made an invitation, acting very open-minded, but in fact, they were just eating for free.
The four of them had dinner in a restaurant in the village.
The whole village had guessed what would happen to Daji, so they were very polite and friendly, entertaining her with good food and wine.
This was an agreement made by the whole village, a kind of sympathy and guilt for the dying.
Through the conversation, Li Nianfan learned that the siblings were named Qin Chuyue and Qin Yun, and also learned some things about Qingshan Village.
Originally, this was a very ordinary village, until more than a month ago, when a woman died and ghosts began to appear.
Qin Yun's face was solemn, and he said, "According to the information we know, the dead woman was born extremely ugly, so she was always ostracized by everyone, and it was even more impossible for a man to like her. She had a lot of loneliness, pain, and resentment buried in her heart.
Finally, more than a month ago, she chose to commit suicide! According to people who saw the body, the woman's death was extremely tragic. She used a knife to cut her face into a melon-seed face. At the same time, she also cut and adjusted her eyes and nose with a knife. The scene is simply horrifying!"
Li Nianfan He sighed, "So she turned into a fierce ghost to take revenge?"
Qin Yun nodded, "Obviously, otherwise she wouldn't have picked pretty girls."
Qin Chuyue smiled and said, "Tonight, she happened to come out. I just compared my beauty with this sister's. For the sake of safety, you'd better follow me. Let me deal with this ghost!"
Li Nianfan and Daji looked at each other and smiled, "No problem."
At night, it was quiet.
The people of Qingshan Village generously arranged them in a spacious and luxurious courtyard.
Li Nianfan and the other four did not fall asleep. They all sat in the hall with candles lit and waited.
The only one who was busy was Qin Chuyue, who was taking out the compass, the bell, and pasting talismans on all sides. Judging from the layout, it seemed quite professional. This scene, which was only seen in ghost-hunting blockbusters, made Li Nianfan feel extremely novel.
It seemed that this scene had never been seen before among the immortal cultivators in the prehistoric times. Could it be that this pair of siblings came from the outside world?
The night gradually became darker.
"Whoosh--"
The wind rose.
The candles in the room began to sway in the wind, and the light flickered, as if it would go out at any time.
The originally closed courtyard door suddenly shook, and then with a piercing "creak!", it opened wide!
It was pitch black outside the door, nothing was there. An inexplicable wind blew suddenly, the candles went out, and the room fell into darkness, as if even the moonlight could not shine in.
"Ugliness is a sin!"
"Kill you."
"Your eyes are mine."
"Your nose is mine."
"Your whole face is mine!"
The extremely cold voices were like a biting cold wind, echoing around, making people's backs cold.
Qin Chuyue raised her hand and pinched a spell.
Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, but it was the talisman paper that was originally placed around that spontaneously ignited and dispelled the darkness.
At the same time, outside the courtyard gate, a white shadow suddenly appeared there and slowly floated in.
"Come to find me!"
Qin Chuyue's face froze, and she immediately ran over excitedly.
However, the white shadow didn't even look at her, and just passed by her.
Qin Chuyue blocked it again.
"Tell me quickly, am I the most beautiful woman in this village?"
The white shadow continued to move away, and said mercilessly: "Obviously not."
