Chapter 29 Are You Tang Monk's Meat?
When she moved her hand, Chu Tingbai subconsciously tightened his grip. He opened his eyes and found that she had woken up, and was looking at their clasped hands with a slightly blushing cheek.
He let go of her hand naturally, and when he saw her cheeks blushing slightly, he asked suspiciously, "Is it hot? The air conditioning doesn't seem to be working well."
He didn't speak for a long time, and when he suddenly spoke, his voice was a little hoarse.
"fine."
Qing Yanrou calmed down her confused mood, got out of bed and spoke seriously.
He collected the mountain ghost coins and talismans that were still surrounding them and asked curiously, "What have you encountered these days? Someone actually wants you to die in your dreams without knowing it."
Without the mountain ghost's money to stop him, he took a long step, found the switch in the room and turned on the light. After listening to her question, he frowned and thought carefully before saying:
“No, basically I’m at the company.”
After hearing this, Qing Yanrou walked out of the lounge and returned to the office, where she noticed only a trace of evil energy. She thought that the man thought that the dream was enough to deal with an ordinary person like Chu Tingbai, so he didn't leave any backup plan. She just didn't know if he would come back later. It seemed that she had to prepare more talismans for him.
Seeing her standing there in deep thought, he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Let's go eat first."
The two of them finally chose a Sichuan hotpot restaurant. Qing Yanrou was from Province G and had a slightly stronger taste, while Chu Tingbai was a light eater, so the two of them ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot.
After staying in the dream for a long time, they slept again after coming out. Both of them were so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs. They ate all kinds of food and finally enjoyed it very much.
-
The store they chose was not far from Tianfu Street, only two streets away. Qing Yanrou decided to walk back and digest her food. She wanted to ask Chu Tingbai to go back, but he just looked at her without saying anything. In the end, the two of them walked together.
Chu Tingbai, who was walking side by side with her, suddenly asked, "Do people really have past lives and present lives?"
"Huh? Why are you asking this question all of a sudden? I thought after what happened with Ning Jinghuai, you should know very well whether there is one or not."
She looked back at him slightly, seemingly puzzled, and said as a matter of course.
After receiving a positive answer, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, then said calmly: "Will that person remember things from his previous life?"
"That's impossible. Everyone crosses the Naihe Bridge when they reincarnate. When they cross the Naihe Bridge, they drink Mengpo soup, forgetting their past lives and returning to the world alone again. If everyone could remember their past lives, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
At this moment, the two of them happened to be between two street lights. The shadows of the tall trees on the roadside blocked the light. Qing Yanrou didn't notice that after hearing her answer, Chu Tingbai lowered his head slightly, his expression stunned, and muttered to himself: "Really not?"
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"No."
Suddenly, Qing Yanrou's expression became alert, and she subconsciously protected him behind her. She teased Chu Tingbai jokingly, "Are you Tang Monk's flesh? Why are there so many demons and monsters who want to eat you since your soul was restored?"
Only then did he realize that the surrounding environment had changed. There were many tall trees on that section of road, so the light was dim and he didn't even notice that he had changed places.
He felt helpless when he heard her teasing him about being Tang Monk's flesh. All this started to change when he had those fragmented memories. What is the relationship between the two?
At this time, the surroundings were even darker, with a howling wind and fog, and a heavy gloomy aura.
Qing Yanrou handed him a stack of talismans, "This is a thunder-inducing talisman. If I can't take care of you later, you can try it with the incantation. Remember the incantation: 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Blade, transformed into divine thunder, magnificent heavenly power, guided by sword.'"
After that, an old man appeared in front of him. He had a ruddy face and fierce eyes. He held a black token in his hand and said to Qing Yanrou in a sinister tone:
"You idiot girl, today you destroyed the flying zombie I worked so hard to tame and ruined my dream. You ruined my plans. Today I will kill you too and imprison your soul to compensate me for my loss."
"I'm not afraid of getting my tongue dirty when I talk big."
Looking at the old man in front of him, Qing Yanrou spoke with a sneer and a calm expression.
The old man looked at the two of them gloomily and began to mutter to himself.
Soon a group of wandering ghosts swarmed around. Looking at this low-level ghost, the old man was sure that she had consumed too much energy in the dream and had no time to recover, so he wanted to use the human wave tactic to wear her down.
Unfortunately, she had miscalculated. Even though she had not recovered yet, the thing she had the most was talismans. She could have smashed these things with talismans.
She didn't even use the mountain ghost money. She just took out stacks of talismans from her bag and threw them at the group of ghosts. She even took some time to teach Chu Tingbai how to use the talismans.
"Yes, that's it. Hold the talisman between your index and middle fingers and chant the spell."
Chu Tingbai obediently grasped the talisman with his bony fingers, chanting the spell she had just taught him. Unexpectedly, it worked on the first try! The hanged ghost closest to them was struck directly.
Watching him summon lightning the size of a finger and instantly kill a hanged ghost, Qing Yanrou nodded in satisfaction. It was worthy of her teaching that he could achieve such results on the first use. Very good, very good.
She became addicted to teaching him and continued to instruct him on how to use the talismans. Soon, the large group of minions were wiped out.
Seeing that all his ghosts had been eliminated, and Qing Yanrou was still at ease and not tired at all, the old man's expression was somewhat incredulous.
Unexpectedly, these ghosts not only failed to consume her, but also used her as a free teaching aid. The old man's expression became more and more ugly.
Then he bit his finger and blood dripped onto the token in his hand. The black token instantly became darker and bursts of red blood mist appeared. A cold wind suddenly blew around him.
The yin energy at this moment was stronger than when the ghosts were rampant just now. A female ghost wearing red clothes, with long hair and tears of blood in the corners of her eyes slowly crawled out from the token.
The resentment and hatred intertwined in her body made her look particularly hideous.
Behind her, a baby slowly crawled out. His body was purple and red, and covered with sticky blood. He kept calling "Mom, Mom" and stretched out his hands towards her, like a child asking his mother for a hug. The childish voice, which is unique to children, was a little cold at this time, which was even more weird in this environment.
When the female ghost heard his voice, the resentment in her body actually dissipated a little, and there seemed to be a hint of tenderness in her expression. She turned around and was about to pick up the ghost child.
Seeing this, the old man picked up the token in his hand and hit the ghost child with a "slap", and the ghost child let out a miserable cry.
The female ghost nervously hugged the ghost child in her arms and looked at the token in the old man's hand with horror.
"Go and kill those two people quickly, otherwise you know the consequences." The old man looked at the female ghost fiercely and warned.
The female ghost nodded quickly to show that she understood, then stuffed the ghost child into her stomach, turned around and attacked Qing Yanrou with a surge of Yin energy.
Looking at the long nails in front of her, Qing Yanrou said with disdain: "Even if you are a ghost, you still have to pay attention to hygiene."
After he finished speaking, he took out the mountain ghost coins, infused them with spiritual energy, and chopped them on the female ghost's nails. With a "click", the female ghost's nails broke off.
She stopped and looked at her palm with uncertainty, then roared and attacked Qing Yanrou even more fiercely.
