Chapter 3: The Wrong Soul!
After hearing what his daughter said, Gu Lianshan was silent for a long time. He didn't say to change it, nor did he say not to change it. Instead, he changed his tone and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of letting Ping An go to school?"
Gu Tang paused. Could she say that this was one of the original owner’s wishes before he died?
Gu Tang was originally a freelancer living in the 21st century. When he went out shopping and took the bus, he met a damn old man.
Just because he was chatting with someone and missed the time to get off the bus, he insisted on asking the driver to turn around, which resulted in the death of all the people on the bus!
After her death, Gu Tang came to the underworld in a daze, but was told by the judge that the soul-catcher had killed her who should have been alive for the sake of convenience!
Gu Tang was so angry at that time that he sat at the door of the King of Hell's Palace and burst into tears, disturbing the entire King of Hell's Palace.
In the end, the King of Hell was afraid of disturbing the Queen Mother Hou Tu, so he opened a back door for Gu Tang and allowed her to reincarnate through another corpse.
Gu Tang is not so easy to deal with.
She was living a good life, but she was forced to go to the underworld and use someone else's corpse to revive. She was so disgusted!
Therefore, compensation must be given!
In order to get rid of this hot potato, Gu Tang, the King of Hell spent a huge amount of money and directly let Gu Tang go into the treasury of the underworld to choose a treasure to take away.
Gu Tang picked and chose among the numerous treasures and chose one that he liked. After binding it, he realized that it was a golden finger - the sign-in system!
Barely satisfactory.
Afterwards, Gu Tang followed the judge to find the "corpse" that had resurrected.
As a result, he met that bastard soul catcher again on the Naihe Bridge. He was fighting with another soul catcher at that time.
Gu Tang was also unlucky. The two soul-catchers were fighting each other and it was unclear which soul-catcher kicked her and kicked her directly into the reincarnation pool.
There is a mark made by the King of Hell on Gu Tang's soul. It is used to help Gu Tang refine his new body when he is reborn through another corpse, so that the "borrowed" body can be transformed into "born through the womb", preventing some monks from seeing the traces of rebirth through another corpse.
Therefore, Gu Tang, who fell into the reincarnation pool, could not be reincarnated. He could only be squeezed out of the pool as a soul and became a wandering ghost.
That would have been fine, but when she wandered around and found humans, she discovered that she had traveled back to ancient times.
Not long after that, she met the original owner "Gu Tang" in the mountains.
The original owner had the same name and surname as Gu Tang. She just turned thirteen this year and was a little girl with a childish face.
When Gu Tang saw her, she was still hanging on to her last breath.
As for the cause of death, it was not illness or murder, but the end of his life.
Although the little girl had not yet died completely, the aura of death permeated her, causing her to see Gu Tang.
When the girl learned that Gu Tang wanted to take over her body, she was not dissatisfied. Instead, she realized that Gu Tang was not from this world, so she immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.
The little girl didn't ask for anything else, only that Gu Tang could lend a helping hand to her father and her brother if he was able, and ignore anyone else.
After saying that, he took the initiative to give the silver he had hidden away to Gu Tang, asking her to help persuade her father to send her brother Gu Ping'an to school.
Although the girl is young, she has been apprenticed to a herbalist since she was young. She started running around in the mountains collecting herbs when she was about seven or eight years old, and secretly hid several taels of silver without telling her family.
The girl hid the silver for no other reason than to send her younger brother to school so that he could pass the examination and become a student.
In this way, as Tongsheng's elder sister, she would definitely be looked up to in the Gu family instead of being picked on, scolded and beaten all day long.
Now she is dying. After her body is taken over by Gu Tang, she will still be herself in front of outsiders, so she asks Gu Tang to help her fulfill her wish.
When the little girl talked about this, the whites of her eyes turned black. It was obvious that this had become her obsession. If she didn't get what she wanted, she was afraid that she would turn into a ghost.
Gu Tang's heart softened at that moment and he agreed to this.
As soon as she agreed, the little girl died. After her soul left her body, the little girl tore off a part of her own soul and stuffed it into Gu Tang's soul without any explanation.
After "eating" a part of the girl's soul, his reincarnation was very smooth. His body sensed the familiar soul fluctuations and naturally accepted Gu Tang.
The mark that the King of Hell left on her soul was of no use. It flickered a few times and turned into golden stars that disappeared into this body.
Gu Tang's intuition told her that the golden light was a good thing. She ran through the little girl's soul, allowing some of the golden light to touch the little girl's soul and quickly fill in the missing parts.
Realizing Gu Tang's intention, the little girl was very grateful. She knelt down again and kowtowed three times, then followed the dark path that appeared behind her and headed for the underworld.
Gu Tang is willing to fulfill his promise if he has the energy to do so.
Today, while her father was drinking, she took the opportunity to propose that Gu Ping'an go to school.
But this reason can only be kept deep in my heart and cannot be spoken out, not even until I die!
After thinking for a while, Gu Tang decided to let the eldest wife of the Gu family take the blame. After all, as far as he could remember, the little girl had suffered a lot from the eldest wife.
"My eldest aunt hurt my heart. The other day she asked me to wash my eldest cousin's clothes. I didn't want to, so my eldest aunt said that my cousin would marry a scholar in the future, so it was a compliment to let me wash clothes!"
Gu Lianshan's face darkened.
Gu Tang added: "I was thinking, if there is a scholar in our family, will I be able to hold my head up high in front of my cousin?"
These words really hurt Gu Lianshan's heart, "Don't listen to your aunt's nonsense! She has always been a bad person, just treat her as a fart!"
"It doesn't matter if it's just bullshit or not, but I can't forget what I said. I just want Ping An to try it."
"What if? Ping An has always been smart. Although he is young, he has rules in everything he does and says. Dad, I want Ping An to try. At worst, I can pay for it."
Gu Lianshan clenched his fists, feeling depressed and painful in his heart: "It's not easy to support a scholar. The medicinal herbs you go up the mountain to find every day can't be sold at a high price to support him..."
Gu Tang didn't say anything.
Those medicinal herbs are not ginseng or ganoderma, how much are they worth? Even if you add the original owner's private money, it's not enough!
What is really valuable are the items she gets by signing in every day.
During the past thirty days, she signed in every day and received twenty taels of silver, fifteen points, ten deerskins, five sheepskins, one piece of silk, one piece of satin, one piece of gauze, one piece of gauze, etc.
When selling sheepskin today, she specifically asked about the price of deerskin. A deerskin in good condition could be sold for about two or three taels of silver.
If it is a sika deer of good quality, it will cost an extra 100 to 200 taels.
The system reward happened to be the sika deer skin, with beautiful and even spots, which was perfect and could be sold for at least four taels of silver per piece.
Ten tickets equal forty taels, plus the twenty taels earned from signing in, that’s sixty taels of silver.
With these sixty taels, I can buy books and tuition fees, and the other expenses are not large.
I have to find a way to get the money.
Gu Tang was thinking in her mind, and seeing that her father looked thoughtful, she thought that he was worried about money, so she wanted to comfort him with a few words.
