Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 132: Lu Guanqi, you don’t want to practice dual cultivation, do you? I am not that kind of person.

There are no stars or moon tonight, and the sky is gloomy.

After dinner, the Skylark King went to play with the lovebird, while Mr. Zhao called the group of servants.

There is a rumor among the people that swearing can drive away evil spirits, and the swearier the better. These servants are experts in swearing in the surrounding villages and are well versed in this.

This move is ridiculous. If you say it can really drive away ghosts, it doesn't have much killing power. But if you say it is useless, it is quite insulting.

"Let them leave." Jiang Ningshuang said, "It's useless."

Mr. Zhao was dumbfounded: "That's what people say, but I didn't expect it to be useless. So what should we do if we encounter an unclean ghost?"

Jiang Ningshuang explained, "Little ghosts are afraid of the bold. If so many people gather together, maybe they can scare it away. But when ghosts grow to a certain size, they become evil spirits, and ordinary methods are useless. If you encounter an unclean one, you can go to the temple to ask for a peace amulet. Although those bald donkeys in the Zen Sect are annoying, they still have some skills in those secular temples."

Mr. Zhao nodded repeatedly after listening. He didn't expect that there were so many tricks in this. He hurriedly asked the group of servants to leave, and the yard became quiet in an instant.

Lu Zhan's thoughts were wandering, and he didn't come back to his senses until he heard the screams of a lovebird in the yard. Perhaps it had been teased too much by the King Skylark, and the parrot kept making a "roll-roll-roll" sound.

Lu Zhan felt a little embarrassed and was about to call Yun Que back, but Mr. Zhao stopped him.

"It should be its blessing that you, sir, would allow the bird to play with it."

Mr. Zhao secretly hated his own parrot for not living up to expectations. It didn't even appreciate the spiritual bird brought by the master to play with it. He wished he could turn into a bird so that he could get some of the spiritual energy.

Lu Zhan had no choice but to give up, and sat on the chair and asked, "Master Zhao, have you ever had any alliances or disputes with women while traveling?"

For example, the female ghost in Huali Village was still waiting for the general to return after her death because of the oath of love. But if you encounter an extreme ghost, it will come to you after death. If you don't obey, it may harm you.

Everything has cause and effect. Once you encounter it, you should ask for clarification.

Young Master Zhao shook his head and said, "Sir, I have been studying away from home for three years. During this time, I have studied hard and have never had any romantic affairs. Although I have met a few women, they are just gentlemanly friends and have never overstepped the boundaries."

"In that case, please leave. No matter what noise you hear tonight, don't come out."

Mr. Zhao bowed hurriedly: "Please be careful, sir and young lady."

After saying this, Mr. Zhao took his son away, but he didn't dare to go too far, so he went into the room opposite.

Lu Zhan sent a wisp of air towards the room, isolating Master Zhao's aura. This way, the female ghost would not notice anything unusual and would just think that Master Zhao was still in her room.

After finishing all this, Lu Zhan came to Young Master Zhao's room and thought: "We are still missing Young Master Zhao."

You can't let him wear the wedding dress and be the groom, that's not reasonable.

"What's so difficult about this?" Jiang Ningshuang took out a puppet from her pocket. She blew at the puppet and it flew to the bedside. When it landed on the ground, it turned into the appearance of Young Master Zhao, as lifelike as a real person.

Lu Zhan showed an envious look: "Is this puppetry?"

"That's right." Jiang Ningshuang said proudly: "My master is proficient in puppetry, so I naturally inherited it. The puppetry is simple, but the charm is in the puppet. This puppet of mine was carved by my master, and the person he transformed into is very lifelike."

“So that’s how it is…” Lu Zhan’s heart ached, and he could only sigh: “Then let’s wait for the bridal sedan to arrive. This is the first time I’ve encountered a female ghost forcing me to get married. Let’s see what kind of background this female ghost has.”

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lu Zhan and Jiang Ningshuang waited in the next room. When the bridal sedan arrived, they would go straight to the source. This would save time and effort compared to searching the mountain.

...

Everything was quiet. Because of the incident with the female ghost, the Zhao family was silent. At first, there were some sounds of servants moving around, but as the night grew darker, even the sounds of moving disappeared. Only the occasional chirping of crickets could be heard, and it was even more lonely.

They waited until three o'clock in the morning, when the moon peeked out from behind the clouds. The dim moonlight made the mansion seem even cooler.

Jiang Ningshuang yawned and asked in a bored tone, "Why do you think the female ghost insisted on marrying Mr. Zhao? Even if Mr. Zhao allowed her to do so, since one of them is a ghost and the other is a human, there is no way they can be together. Why bother?"

This ghost bride case was different from the previous cases. The usual ghost brides were for harming people, and there wasn't much sense of ceremony. This one was completely different, it was a proper wedding, and even the betrothal gifts were delivered in advance.

Even though Miss Jiang was a Husky with clear eyes, she couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. What was the female ghost trying to achieve by going to so much trouble?

“There are many dual cultivation techniques in the world. Perhaps the female ghosts have a method suitable for dual cultivation between humans and ghosts?” Lu Zhan half-lay on the couch, looking at the bright moon outside the window.

There is not only evil dual cultivation like the Hehuan Sect in the world, there is also legitimate dual cultivation techniques.

The Hehuan Sect's dual cultivation is purely about taking yang and replenishing yin, and only improves women's skills. However, the formal dual cultivation method is of great benefit to both men and women, and there will be unexpected gains, which is far higher than practicing alone.

It was just that close contact was inevitable during dual cultivation, and it was only between Taoist couples. How could a serious cultivator just find someone to dual cultivate with? They were not those demon women of the Hehuan Sect.

Jiang Ningshuang swayed her little feet, her red embroidered shoes causing her skirt to sway. She said, "Of course I know there is a dual cultivation technique, but Young Master Zhao is an ordinary person. It's too late for him to start practicing at his age, and he probably won't succeed. Even if the female ghost really found a technique for him, she might not be able to stay with him forever, and it might kill him instead. Moreover, ghost cultivation itself is not very suitable for dual cultivation, so it won't work."

"Hmm? You seem to know a lot about dual cultivation?" Lu Zhan looked at Jiang Jiang with interest.

Jiang Ningshuang pouted and said, "This is not something that is difficult to understand, and dual cultivation is indeed very beneficial. Many of my senior sisters and uncles, after reaching the Mysterious Realm, would consider finding a Taoist partner to practice dual cultivation in order to reach a higher level. I naturally understand this."

Lu Zhan seemed to be thinking about something. He had heard Yang Tou'er say before that it was not difficult for a talented cultivator to enter the mysterious realm, but it was difficult to reach a higher level.

The mysterious realm is like the phoenix nirvana. Once the nirvana is successful, one will be reborn and enter the realm of great power of creation, and from then on completely break away from the mortal body.

However, very few people can succeed in "Nirvana" in this realm. For example, Yang Tou'er is in the late stage of the Xuanmiao realm, and Director Chu is also in the late stage, but they are never able to go any further.

I'm afraid that in this life, he will only reach the late stage of the mysterious realm, and when his lifespan is exhausted, he will die.

Lu Zhan was somewhat emotional: "It seems that if we practice dual cultivation, we will have a better chance of entering the realm of creation?"

Jiang Ningshuang pouted and lay on the table playing with the teacup, a little bored: "It's just that the possibility is greater. After all, after entering the Mysterious Realm, you need to start nurturing your soul. The speed of nurturing alone and nurturing together is also different. Moreover, the attributes of two cultivators are integrated, and it is beneficial to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses."

"Fusion of attributes?" Lu Zhan knew that the power of cultivators corresponded to the five elements. For example, Chu Wantang's power was similar to water, and there was a sense of icy coldness whenever it was used, but he didn't know much about it.

"For example, our night doctors are mostly related to the wood element in the five elements. So it is better to choose a partner with water attribute for dual cultivation, as water can nourish wood." Jiang Ningshuang chattered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Eh? Lu Guanqi, why... why are you suddenly interested in dual cultivation?"

Lu Zhan said seriously, "It's just a rainy day, just in case it's needed in the future."

Jiang Ningshuang's eyes were dim, like a husky with clear eyes in the dark night: "Oh... but although you are a night doctor, your ability is not just that of a night doctor... Eh? What is the nature of your power?"

"It should be gold..." Lu Zhan glanced at Jiang Gungun: "You are wood, right? Gold is the most suitable with water and wood. Practicing both together will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Jiang Ningshuang's face turned red instantly, and her clear eyes showed a little more vigilance: "You...what do you want to do?"

"Yes I do."

"what?"

"Oh, I just wanted to get to know you."

Jiang Ningshuang curled her lips, put the ball on the table, and didn't feel sleepy anymore. She was full of energy: "Of course I am wooden..."

At this point, she suddenly blushed and said, "Lu Guanqi, you don't want to follow me... No, I'm not that kind of person. Besides, I've just entered the late stage of the mortal realm, and I don't know when I will enter the mysterious realm."

"Oh…"

"Oh?" Jiang Ningshuang waited for a long while, but didn't hear anything else. She turned around and looked at Lu Zhan suspiciously: "Don't you want to know me? Why don't you say anything?"

"I said it." Lu Zhan said, "I said 'oh'... Did I tell you that I want to practice dual cultivation with you and you agreed?"

“You, you, you…” Jiang Ningshuang’s pretty face flushed, she clenched her fist and hammered it on the table, lowering her head and said, “Stop talking nonsense…Why hasn’t the female ghost come yet? Is this kiss going to work?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew outside the window. On such a summer night, the breeze brought a cool feeling.

Lu Zhan and Jiang Ningshuang sat up straight instantly, holding their breath and looking outside.

……

"As soon as I entered the gate, I was filled with joy, the trumpets cleared the way, and the colorful silks swayed..."

"I received wedding candy from the groom, and then we had to bow in the hall..."

"Don't worry, groom, the bride is a beautiful lady..."

The chilly wind was blowing, and under the bright moonlight, a bright red sedan came through the wall, carried by four male ghosts in shrouds. Their faces were pale, but their cheeks were smeared with rouge, like the paper figurines commonly used in paper-making shops.

There were two little ghosts wearing red bellybands following in front and behind the sedan chair, holding big red silk in their hands. They walked, swayed and sang. The song was particularly clear in the quiet night, and it was a bit creepy.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhao, who were in the opposite room, had not yet slept. When they heard the noise, they could not help but quietly lean over to the window to look in. They were almost scared to death by what they saw.

Getting married is the most joyous event, but if such a joyous event is tainted by ghosts, it becomes the most horrifying thing. In the silent night, the big red sedan chair looks like bright red blood, extremely evil.

Anyone who saw a bright red sedan chair in his own house in the middle of the night would be terrified. But this sedan chair was silent, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he might see several old ghosts in shrouds standing by the bed, which was extremely a test of his courage.

The bridal sedan stopped in front of Master Zhao's door, and the little ghost in a red bellyband rolled into the room, and when he came out, he was actually driving Master Zhao.

Mr. Zhao turned around in a hurry and was relieved to see his son in front of him. He thought that these were all the tricks of the immortals. He felt even more admiration and respect in his heart. Such tricks were simply unheard of.

The ghost doll stuffed "Master Zhao" into the sedan chair and left singing the ballad again. The four ghosts in shrouds followed behind, carrying the sedan chair.

Lu Zhan and Jiang Ningshuang looked at each other, and they followed him out tacitly.

...

Xiaoluling is a mountainous area with high mountains and long rivers. The little ghost carried the sedan chair out of the village and walked straight towards the depths of the mountains. The ghost child walking in front scattered paper money around as he walked. The paper money flew around the sedan chair and was soon blown away by the night wind. It was extremely strange.

The ghosts were moving quite fast, and Lu Zhan did not feel tired when performing the Yi Chen Xu Bu. On the other hand, Jiang Ningshuang felt a little awkward, not because she couldn't keep up, but because Yu Feng was too eye-catching, so she could only follow from a distance.

"Do you want me to take you with me?" Lu Zhan waited for her and opened his arms to her: "Come here."

"I... I can control the wind." Jiang Ningshuang took two steps back, her pretty face slightly red.

"Then you just fly slowly, hiding here and there in the back." Lu Zhan's figure disappeared from the spot quite naturally.

Jiang Ningshuang stamped her feet and flew up into the air again. Her red dress looked like a ghost fire in the night, which was quite evil.

When the sedan chair in front reached the forest, Jiang Ningshuang saw Lu Zhan waiting for her in front. She got off the sedan chair, feeling a little embarrassed, and whispered, "You can't take this opportunity to touch me, or I will poison you and make you suffer!"

Her threat was like that of a livid cat, without any power at all.

Lu Zhan held her waist and said, "Hold tight."

Jiang Ningshuang curled her lips and didn't take it seriously, but when Lu Zhan took a step forward, his extremely fast speed startled her and she hurriedly hugged Lu Zhan's waist.

"Slow down..." Jiang Ningshuang whispered, "You've left the ghost sedan behind..."

Lu Zhan shook off the charming thoughts in his heart and said, "I sensed a ghost aura, it must be the female ghost king, there is no need to follow the ghost sedan."

Jiang Ningshuang was about to retort, but she felt that the speed was even faster, and she couldn't help but bury her face in Lu Zhan's chest.

The forest at night was dim under the moonlight. Lu Zhan followed the ghost energy into a valley. The valley was covered with trees and white mist was spreading from the front.

After passing through the heavy fog, the view in front of them suddenly opened up. In the valley stood a magnificent house, antique in style, and looked exactly like the Zhao family's. The outside of the house was hung with red silk, and a woman in a wedding dress was sitting in the middle of the gate, with a veil embroidered with mandarin ducks covering her face.

Lu Zhan and Jiang Ningshuang did not get close. Instead, they squatted behind a tree and observed. Jiang Ningshuang was behind him, with her hands on his shoulders, staring over there with wide eyes.

A faint fragrance came from behind, and Lu Zhan could clearly feel the softness.

One can sense an evil aura from afar; the bride sitting in front of the door is the female ghost king.

"This is the female ghost king. She is surrounded by her subordinates, all of whom are ghosts." Jiang Ningshuang whispered in Lu Zhan's ear: "There were only a dozen ghosts a few days ago, but today there are more than 20 ghosts... It's like a haunted house."

"There are really ghosts, and there are a lot of them." Lu Zhan looked at the ghostly house in front of him, with surprise in his eyes.

Jiang Ningshuang glanced at him suspiciously: "Why do I feel like you are so excited?"

“Are there?” Lu Zhan looked down and said unhappily, “What nonsense are you talking about…Are all the ghosts here? Maybe there are still relatives who haven’t arrived yet? Hide well and don’t scare them…”

Don't scare them? People are afraid of ghosts seeing through their fragile hearts, but you are afraid of scaring ghosts? Jiang Ningshuang glanced at Lu Zhan, her eyes full of confusion.

There seemed to be a sharp gaze in front of him, and Lu Zhan subconsciously pressed Jiang Ningshuang's head. The two of them were half-squatting, and this press accidentally pushed her into his legs.

The posture was ambiguous and the distance was very close. Jiang Ningshuang's face was buried between his legs. Her body was a little stiff, but she did not resist.
