Chapter 6 06 Even if the Master invited me to drink, I wouldn’t dare.
Song Zhu has been extremely well-behaved ever since he was rescued from the ghost market by Lu Qingqing. If you tell him to go east, he will never go west.
The "male servant program" suspected to have been implanted by his short and fat boss prevents him from acting on his own.
At this time, he actually ran away chasing a bird without caring about anything, completely catching Lu Qingqing off guard.
Even she, who had a high level of cultivation and a quick reaction, was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly coming back to her senses, without having time to think too much, Lu Qingqing hurriedly chased after him.
The forest before me was overgrown with weeds, the soil was muddy and wet, and there were no other traces on the ground except for the footprints left by pine and bamboo trees.
Obviously, this road is difficult to walk on, and even wild animals rarely set foot on it.
The dry grass taller than a person blocked the view, and the figures of the pine and bamboo trees could not be seen at all.
...Isn't he completely out of Qi? How can he still run so fast?!
Lu Qingqing was so angry that she laughed.
"Shochiku!" she called out. "Where are you?"
Of course no one answered her.
Lu Qingqing had no choice but to take out her dagger, chopping the weeds to clear a path while searching along the footprints.
Now that she had rescued this fool, she couldn't just leave him alone. She regretted not casting a tracking spell on him, as she had been a bit careless.
No matter how fast Songzhu runs, he can never catch up with Lu Qingqing who is protected by true energy.
After chasing for a while, the weeds were no longer as tall as before, and the figure in the blue shirt appeared in the distance.
"Songzhu!" Lu Qingqing's tone gradually turned cold, "Stop right there!"
Songzhu finally stopped.
"Turn around."
Songzhu turned around obediently, his face and head covered with grass seeds and sawdust, a mess.
"Come here." Lu Qingqing couldn't help but soften her heart when she saw his expression, and she slowed down her tone, "We should go down the mountain."
"Over there..." Songzhu pointed ahead, his tone anxious, "Over there..."
"What's that over there?"
Songzhu opened his mouth, then suddenly covered his head with his hands, his expression becoming painful.
"Did you remember something?" Lu Qingqing suddenly realized, "It's related to your true identity, right?"
"Cuckoo—cuckoo—"
A shadow appeared in the no longer dazzling sunlight, and its noisy sound drowned out the answers of the pine and bamboo trees.
A black and gray bird flapped its wings and flew forward.
Hearing the cry, Songzhu lowered his hands and looked up. The next moment, as if possessed, he stood up and ran after the bird.
Lu Qingqing: ...
Little ancestor!
She chased after him and just as she grabbed Songzhu's arm, her feet slipped and they both fell into a trap in the forest covered with dead leaves.
wrong.
Lu Qingqing quickly realized that this was not a trap.
How could a trap be so deep that it took several seconds to land?
Not only that, the force of the fall became stronger and stronger, making Songzhu's body extremely heavy.
Lu Qingqing was not paying attention and the other party fell from his hands.
"loose--"
As soon as she opened her mouth, a whistling wind rushed in, choking her chest, making her eyes go black, and her consciousness became hazy.
After a moment, Lu Qingqing finally landed on the ground.
She opened her eyes and saw the sky dotted with stars, like gems; clouds were chasing the bright moon, like playful children.
Turning around again, the bamboo forest swayed in the wind, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of a paradise.
There are thick bamboo leaves under my body, which are softer and more comfortable than the plush carpets in foreign countries.
...Where is this?
What about pine and bamboo?
Lu Qingqing woke up instantly when she thought of this and sat up with a somersault.
He fell down with Songzhu, so he should be nearby.
After some searching, Lu Qingqing finally found the unconscious pine and bamboo trees deep in the bamboo forest.
After checking the other person's breathing and pulse and confirming that he had just fainted, she breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground.
After resting for a while, I recovered my strength and my sanity.
Lu Qingqing stuffed the elixir into Song Zhu's mouth and injected some true energy into him, and the big brother finally woke up.
"Owner."
Shochiku was confused, "Where are we?"
Lu Qingqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"You brought me here, and now you ask me?"
Songzhu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head after a while, like a child who had made a mistake.
"I'm sorry, Master."
Now that things have come to this, there is no point blaming him.
"How do you feel?" Lu Qingqing asked, "Is there any pain?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"Then try to see if you can walk."
"good."
Lu Qingqing helped Song Zhu up. Although he was a little unsteady, he had no problem walking.
The bamboo forest is not big, with only a winding path leading out.
The light from the stars and the moon made everything bright and warm, and the ground beneath my feet felt soft, like walking on a meadow.
The two walked out of the bamboo forest and saw a bamboo building in front of them, looking elegant and lofty in the mist.
A circle of bamboo fence surrounds the small building, and two red lanterns on the gate sway in the wind, looking misty and hazy.
Behind the bamboo building is a high mountain, which looks like a long-dormant beast in the dark night.
"Master." Songzhu paused and whispered, "Something seems amiss here."
Of course it's not normal.
Everything here is abnormal, so abnormal that you can feel it with your toes.
But there was a dead end at the end of the bamboo forest, and the place where they fell had now become the sky. They had no choice but to move forward.
"It's okay." Lu Qingqing patted his arm, "Let's go."
Songzhu nodded and said no more.
There is no text on the bamboo plaque on the courtyard gate, and the owner's surname is unknown.
The bamboo door was so loose that it seemed as if it would fall down with a slight push.
Lu Qingqing bent her fingers and knocked three times, neither lightly nor heavily.
"Excuse me, is the owner home? My friend is injured and would like to use your precious place to rest."
Her voice drifted in the night wind and seemed a little unreal.
A moment later, the gate opened from the inside.
A handsome face appeared in front of Lu Qingqing.
He was wearing a middle-length shirt, his hair was casually draped, his skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and there was an indescribable melancholy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"How did you get here?" The tone was cold, but more of confusion.
"We fell into a trap and ended up here." Lu Qingqing answered truthfully, pointing to Song Zhu beside her. "He broke his leg. Can we rest here for a while?"
The man in white frowned and said, "Think carefully. If you come in, you might not be able to get out."
Before Lu Qingqing could reply, the pine and bamboo trees that had been listless just now seemed to have been pricked with chicken blood. Their eyes suddenly lit up, and they slipped past the white-clothed man and into the yard like loaches.
Lu Qingqing pointed to the solar plexus and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, my friend's place..."
The man in white sighed inaudibly and took two steps back.
"Come in."
The yard is not big and there is nothing there. It is obvious that the owner does not stay here often.
The bamboo house is a small two-story building. Flowers and plants are planted on the second-floor terrace, making it look lively in the night mist.
Songzhu had already entered the hall and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Sorry..." Lu Qingqing was a little embarrassed. She had just said that Songzhu was injured, but the next second this guy became full of energy and slapped her in the face.
The man in white didn't mind, "Miss, please."
The house was clean and brightly lit.
There was a book on the table and a steaming green-glazed teacup next to it.
At this time, Songzhu was standing in front of a closed door on the side, looking a little anxious.
"Don't be rude."
Lu Qingqing pulled him over and pressed him onto the chair.
Songzhu was still staring at the door, but he noticed that his owner was a little angry, so he had to sit down.
When Lu Qingqing also sat down, the man in white said, "I won't treat you to tea."
"I understand." Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Even if you invite me to drink, I wouldn't dare."
The man in white's expression changed slightly, "You are indeed not an ordinary person."
Lu Qingqing: "Young Master is not an ordinary ghost either."
The man in white was startled.
"How would the girl know?"
"Although you are a ghost, you have no evil spirits, and even faintly give off the light of righteousness." Lu Qingqing's eyes were calm and her tone was calm. "I believe you have been here for a long time, and you have wiped out your evil thoughts and worldly desires, and have developed a heart for the Tao."
It is true that this place is strange, but there is a thin spiritual power in the air. Lu Qingqing discovered it when she was regulating her breathing just now.
The spiritual energy can purify the evil spirit and invisibly allow the male ghost to have a strange encounter.
"But I just can't understand it." The man in white's eyes looked even more melancholy.
This is also what Lu Qingqing can't understand.
"If a ghost wants to become a ghost cultivator, it must rely on the pure Yin energy of the underworld. Why has the young master been staying here?"
If it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to become monks, then it is more than a hundred times more difficult for ghosts to practice the ghost way than for humans.
This handsome ghost has such a great opportunity. He should report to the underworld. With one more day of practice, he can become a real ghost cultivator faster.
The man in white saw that Lu Qingqing was indeed an expert, so he didn't hide anything from her.
"I can't go. The house has been restricted by a sorcerer. I can only enter but not leave. I have been trapped here for almost a hundred years."
Lu Qingqing understood, "No wonder you asked me to think it over before coming in."
"My last name is Liu, and everyone calls me Liu Sheng." The man in white took the initiative to explain the whole story. "Back then, a classmate and I fell in love with the same girl. He accidentally killed me, and fearing that I would become a ghost and seek revenge, he found a Taoist priest with an ox nose to seal my soul here."
Lu Qingqing: ...
Why are there such life-and-death dramas everywhere for the fight for a spouse? Help!
In addition to secretly complaining, this passage also provides two pieces of information.
This place has existed for a long time, and Yagyu is just staying there temporarily;
The one who placed the restriction on Yagyu's soul should be a sect of cultivators that mainly deals in exorcising evil spirits and ghosts, and their cultivation level may not be very high.
"I can try to help you."
Liu Sheng smiled and continued the second half of Lu Qingqing's sentence.
"Girl, whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything."
It's easy to talk to smart people.
"Master Liu." Lu Qingqing pointed at the door. "I want to know what's behind it. Can you let us take a look?"
There is definitely a reason why Shochiku reacted so strongly to this place.
Then she briefly told Yagyu how they fell from the mountain.
"I see. The door leads to the backyard." Yagyu said apologetically, "But I can't open it. My movements are restricted to the front yard and the bamboo house."
"oh?"
This aroused Lu Qingqing's interest even more.
She walked to the door and just as she placed her hand on it, a red light lit up and a talisman slowly emerged.
