Chapter 591: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 12
Prince Rong raised his head only after hearing Zheng Yunxi's voice. He watched the light disappearing bit by bit, feeling anxious but not daring to speak loudly.
He just shouted anxiously in a low voice: "Sister, Ghost Sister, please wait a moment, just wait a moment, you haven't answered my question yet, Ghost Sister..."
While shouting, he swam faster and faster towards the direction where Zheng Yunxi disappeared.
However, when he swam to the place, Zheng Yunxi had already used the space to move away, so he naturally didn't find anything.
After searching around for a while, he still found nothing and Prince Rong looked a little discouraged.
"Am I asking too many questions? Merit? Where does the merit come from? Isn't this just causing trouble? Ghost Sister... just a little bit short, ah."
Prince Rong looked around and realized belatedly that it was quite creepy in the middle of the night. It seemed like there were monsters hiding everywhere, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
He inexplicably felt a chill penetrating his bones, and couldn't help but shudder, muttering to himself, "Could it be that I've really been contaminated by Sister Ghost's yin energy?
He has not yet figured out what the "hard currency" of the ghost world is, and he has no intention of dying early.
He just hoped that the ghost sister could recover soon, as he was still waiting to hear the answer.
After determining the direction, Prince Rong glanced at the garden of Marquis Xuanping's Mansion. He no longer had any interest in finding out why his second nephew came here so late at night.
He turned around and went ashore from the other side, dragging his wet robe with him as he quietly left the mansion.
Neither of them noticed that the conversation they had just had happened to fall into the sight of a servant who was out for a walk because he couldn't sleep that night.
The servant was startled by the noise in the lake and hurriedly hid behind the peonies in the garden.
He stared at the water surface with trepidation—two heads were floating there, one emitting a luminous green light, and the other one's pale body could be glimpsed even though it was immersed in the water.
In his horrified imagination, the white thing must be a skeleton. It was unknown how long the person had been dead, and not even a bit of flesh was left.
The servant was so frightened that he covered his mouth tightly, not daring to even breathe. His legs were as soft as noodles, and he could only stick to the back of the peony flower.
People are so contradictory. They are obviously scared to death, but they can't help but take a few more glances at the curious thing.
Faintly, he heard the green "ghost" muttering words like "merit" and "powerful", and then saw the green light gradually dissipate.
Afterwards, the "white skeleton" chased after them, shouting "Sister, sister". The two ghosts disappeared and the lake soon returned to calm.
The servant was so frightened that his legs went numb under the flowers and he dared not move an inch.
I even unconsciously "fertilized" the peonies.
He was afraid that if he moved, he would attract the attention of the two "ghosts".
He thought to himself: There is more than one water ghost in the house. Are they bringing relatives to visit?
I'm afraid that the monk only tried to liberate one water ghost when he performed the ritual, but the force was not strong enough, so he failed to eradicate the root of the water ghost and instead attracted its companions.
The water ghost must have told the bone ghost just now that the merits of the monks in Puguang Temple in their salvation rituals are very powerful, so it should be careful.
Later, the water ghost disappeared, and the bone ghost chased after it again, probably because he was worried about the water ghost.
The logic is sound and the closed loop is clear, so his guess must be correct.
The servant completed the entire "plot" on his own, secretly congratulating himself for being both lucky and cautious.
Only after he was sure that the "ghost" in the lake had not shown up again did he tentatively move his body. Seeing that there was no movement around him, he slowly stood up, looked around, gasped for breath, and patted his chest with his hand.
Only then did he realize that his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat, and the night wind made him shiver.
Especially the lower body, which feels like "the wind blows on the butt and it feels cold".
I looked down and saw that my pants were still dripping and even my shoes were soaked.
What's there to not understand? The servant tutted in frustration and swung his legs - so annoyed.
It’s all the fault of these two ghosts. Why are relatives visiting so late at night? He hasn’t wet his pants since he was ten years old. Fortunately, it’s late at night and no one saw it, otherwise he would not be alive. Xiaohong will definitely not like him.
The peony flower next to it has the advantage, as it can even have a special meal in the middle of the night.
But if the peony had a spirit, it would probably feel aggrieved.
Who cares about this little bit of food from you? On weekdays, it only eats eggs and tea. If it can't move away, it will definitely kick this unhygienic playboy twice and run away.
The servant took advantage of the fact that no one had gotten up yet and sneaked back to the servants' room to change his pants. Let's not talk about it for now.
On the other side, after Zheng Yunxi left the space and went ashore, he quickly changed into the regular clothes of this world in the space and returned to his yard quietly.
This is really unbearable. Has the Xuanping Marquis Mansion become a tourist attraction now? So many people come here to sign in and check in late at night.
They are all royal relatives, and she, a little concubine, cannot afford to offend any of them.
Fortunately, there are monks in this world, as recorded in history.
Zheng Yunxi was originally a concubine's daughter, and her mistress would not care much about her marriage. She was also a little-known person in the mansion on weekdays, so it seemed that no one would notice her for a while.
In her previous life, the man the original owner married had the support of the Marquis' Mansion behind Zheng Yunxi, so her husband's family did not dare to neglect her after she got married, and she lived a stable life.
But Zheng Yunxi is different. She can practice. Who would want to be locked up in the backyard for the rest of her life?
As long as she waits a few more days and reaches a higher level of cultivation, not only will she not want to get married, but even the Marquis' Mansion will never agree to her getting married.
Only then will she truly have a say.
But the prerequisite is that we have to deal with Zheng Yuejin, the reborn one, and Zheng Xingyao, the one who traveled through the book, first.
Marry them both first, and then let them know that I am a monk.
The reason is that there is very little description of Zheng Yunxi in the original book, and there is no mention of whether she can practice or not.
As for Zheng Yuejin, she was the third sister and could only chat with her for a few words when she went to pay her respects to the Marquis' wife and the old lady in their courtyards.
They hardly had any contact on weekdays, and this situation gave her a lot of room to maneuver.
Zheng Yunxi had never heard the rumors about the ghost in the mansion, and thought that he had pretended to be a water ghost in the lake that night without anyone noticing.
Little did they know that a few days ago, the servants had secretly spread the rumor that the mansion was haunted. Although the Marquis' wife had invited monks to perform a ritual, the first few servants who spread the news were still punished in private.
The reason was that the false rumors misled the people. When something happened in the mansion, the situation was not reported to the mistress of the house immediately, but was spread privately, causing unrest among the people in the mansion.
This time the servants learned their lesson. No one mentioned it openly, but they all spread the story by word of mouth.
According to the information obtained from the servants who saw Zheng Yunxi and Prince Rong in the lake, the water ghost was injured because of the ritual performed by Master Puguang, but unexpectedly there was more than one ghost, so the ritual was not powerful enough.
