Red paper lanterns were hung on the window frames on both sides of the teahouse, and a horizontal plaque was hung on the door lintel, with the three big characters "Mingxiangju" inscribed on the plaque. The dark handwriting was as clear as mountain spring water.

The teahouse is filled with various kinds of tea, exuding a faint fragrance, and the delicate tea aroma floats in the air.

The customers came in groups of three or five or alone. Two girls holding purple clay teapots walked among the customers and brewed fragrant high-quality tea for them.

Mingxiang Teahouse is not only a place for drinking tea, but also a place for selling tea.

Hua Qingya was wearing a simple blue dress, with long black hair gently combed with a hairpin and a few strings of silver ornaments on her wrists. She was the daughter of the owner of this shop.

Today she helped to look after the store and met another strange customer.

"A bottle of Luohua tea costs twenty taels of silver. Is this kind of tea so expensive?"

Isn't this just stealing money?

Xu Yeyu was stunned. Although he was mentally prepared that this kind of tea should be quite expensive, it was actually as expensive as the chicken soup he drank in the secret realm of the tomb. If he used twenty taels of silver sparingly, it could be enough for his food and lodging for a month.

Xu Yeyu felt a little regretful. He should have asked the county magistrate to prepare some fallen flower tea for him. He had paid too much to protect the sect's image. Now he had just joined the sect and had no resources provided by the sect. Where would he get the spare money to buy such expensive tea? It would be better not to drink this tea!

Hua Qingya smiled bitterly. The man in front of her looked like a young man from a wealthy family, but he was wearing ordinary people's clothes. Most importantly, his appearance and temperament did not match the clothes at all.

She had met many young men from wealthy families in Luohua County, but had no impression of this one. He must have come to Luohua County from other places to buy tea.

"Due to the low production volume, the price of Luohua tea is relatively expensive, and it is usually only purchased by wealthy families and officials."

Hua Qingya took out three bottles from under the counter and said, "These are also the more famous teas in Luohua County. Do you want to try them? The total cost is less than three taels of silver."

"I want all three bottles." Xu Yeyu took out three taels of silver from the storage ring and put it on the counter, "Give me the change."

Now it was Hua Qingya's turn to be stunned. The person in front of her was actually a cultivator. Only cultivators had storage rings for their true energy. It was the first time she encountered a cultivator coming to buy tea. She should not have said anything that would cause concern to others, right?

"Take the silver back, Immortal. These three bottles of tea are for you."

"My lady, I am just a monk, not a villain who is here to rob. You can just charge the normal fee."

Xu Yeyu didn't like enjoying these special treatments just because he was a cultivator. In addition, before he went down the mountain, the outer sect elders specifically told him that he had to maintain the sect's image. He simply couldn't accept this!

Hua Qingya handed Xu Yeyu a copper coin and asked, "I really won't bear grudges. Will you come and settle the score with me later?"

Xu Yeyu took the copper coin and replied: "If I come to settle accounts with you in the future, I won't tell you. I must have done it secretly."

"Then will you settle the score with me?"

Why did this girl come back?

"Adults shouldn't argue with children. Besides, you didn't do anything to make me angry. I won't cause any trouble for you."

"But I'm sixteen years old now. I'm not a kid anymore."

Xu Yeyu then remembered that here anyone over sixteen was considered an adult, which was somewhat different from his place, where sixteen was still considered a child.

"I am sorry for being rude. I apologize to the young lady."

Xu Yeyu turned and left, Hua Qingya waved and said, "Welcome next time. Next time you come to buy tea, I'll give you a 10% discount."

Is there such a good thing?

After hearing what Hua Qingya said, an old customer came over and asked, "Xiaoya, I have been coming to Mingxiangju for so many years, why don't you give me a 10% discount?"

"Next time definitely!"

......

......

The night wind blows, gradually becoming cooler and gentler.

The streets were deserted, with only the faint street lights flickering in silent light. Silence enveloped the entire county town. The moonlight sprinkled on the streets, casting mottled shadows of the eaves and the bluestone streets.

Originally, there were many pedestrians in Luohua County at night, but after the recent appearance of the woman in white, no one was walking around anymore.

Xu Yeyu was sitting on the tile roof, and he thought of a question.

There is no pedestrian on the street, so there must be at least one bait. Could it be that the ghost mistook him as bait and appeared?

Luohua County is so big that if an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage came here, he might not be able to find where the abnormality occurred, but fortunately he is special.

Originally Xu Yeyu's eyesight was better than that of ordinary people. After coming to this world to become a cultivator and with the appearance of the flower in his body, he can now see things that ordinary cultivators cannot see, such as the mechanisms and formations in the secret realm of the tomb, and the bloodline between the old man and the evil ghost.

Now he also saw the white figure not far away. Under the faint moonlight, the figure was looming. He stood up and ran in the direction of it.

The woman in white walked slowly, her robe fluttering gently in the breeze like a snow-white petal, her long hair glowing faintly silver in the moonlight and scattered on her shoulders.

There was no worldly anxiety or confusion in her eyes, but instead a kind of detached clarity, as if she was looking for something.

"Hello."

She turned slowly and saw a young man. He was the only one there and he was the only one who greeted her.

A few days ago, she came to the county town, and everyone was shocked when they saw her, and then they fled, just like everyone else in the places she had been. She knew she was dead, so it was normal for her to be afraid. Since she became like this, it was the first time someone greeted her, and she was a little surprised. She had forgotten a lot of things, but she still knew that when someone greeted you, you had to respond.

"Hello."

The ghost stays in the world because of unfulfilled wishes. If her wishes are fulfilled, she will be free.

This was Xu Yeyu's fourth encounter with a ghost. Some cultivators would not encounter one for several years, but he encountered one four times in just half a year.

Xu Yeyu spoke again: "I am a disciple of the Sunset Sect. I have been commissioned by the sect to solve the problem of the ghost in Luohua County. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, just tell me and I will try my best to satisfy you."

She stared at Xu Yeyu for a long time. The ghost had been in the human world for so long that he gradually forgot everything about his life and even had a vague idea of ​​how to communicate with people.

She still had some impression of the name Sunset Sect.

"I'm looking for a place to rest, and I haven't found it yet."

Xu Yeyu didn't expect that the person in front of him could speak so fluently. The previous times he met him, he either spoke a few scattered words or didn't speak at all, so he had to guess.

"How long have you been wandering in the world?"

"It should be many years." She looked up at the bright moonlight and continued, "Maybe decades, or even hundreds of years, I can't remember clearly."

Xu Yeyu had never heard of a ghost being able to move around in the human world for so long. It would take at least a few days and at most a month before their souls would fly away. They were just looking for a place to rest. You couldn't always ask them to leave quickly.

"I will leave here tomorrow. There is no place for me to rest here. This way you can report to the sect."

From the moment she said she wanted to find a place to rest, Xu Yeyu felt that the flower in his body was communicating with him. Although she didn't speak any specific language, he could understand what the blue flower was conveying.

【You can let her come to my place to rest. 】

This flower can actually communicate, but it won't respond to anything Xu Yeyu says.

"I have a nice place for you to rest. Do you want to go and see it?" Xu Yeyu asked.

The woman replied, “You lead the way, and if I like that place, I will give you some gifts.

Xu Yeyu nodded: "Wait a moment, please don't resist, I won't hurt you."

She didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Why would one need to resist to go to a place of rest?

Perhaps it was because she had been dead for too long and her soul was a little incomplete, so it was normal that she couldn't understand what others said.

Suddenly, a breeze blew.

There was an attraction emanating from Xu Yeyu, and she subconsciously wanted to step back, but she remembered what the Sunset Sect disciple had said before.

She did not resist the suction, and her figure gradually became blurred and turned into a white light. The white light slowly floated towards Xu Yeyu and towards the sea of ​​flowers.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a sea of ​​flowers in front of her, with all kinds of colorful flowers blooming.

As the breeze blows, the sea of ​​flowers sways with the wind, emitting a faint fragrance. Butterflies dance among the flowers, adding vitality to the sea of ​​flowers.

A breeze blew, and the white clouds floated gently. They sometimes gathered and sometimes dispersed, slowly floating across the blue sky.

It's so beautiful, a great place to rest, she couldn't help but think.

At the end of the sea of ​​flowers, she could vaguely see a gorgeous blue flower blooming in the emerald green sea of ​​flowers, its petals swaying gently, as if waving to her.

She walked over to the flowers, gently placed two beads, and said, "I love this place very much. This is my thank you gift."

Her body turned into a white light again, floated towards the blue flower, and finally disappeared.

One is a bead containing fire aura, and the other is a bead containing water aura.

Xu Yeyu's consciousness entered the sea of ​​flowers. He came to the blue flowers and looked at two beads on the ground.

【Gift.】

"Xiao Lan, it seems that she likes you very much."

Xu Yeyu gave this flower a name, but he didn’t know whether it liked this name or not.

He didn't know what the two beads were used for, but he still put them into the storage ring. After all, others said it was a gift, so he had to keep it well.

It seems that she really likes this place and chose this sea of ​​flowers as her resting place. Xu Yeyu can feel that she must have been an extraordinary person when she was alive. A ghost who has passed away for dozens or even hundreds of years still retains her consciousness, which is enough to prove her extraordinaryness.

He also found that there was something different. There was an extra rune on the petals of the small blue flower that he couldn't understand.
