After Ying Sheng finished changing her clothes, Gu Shizhou walked to the high platform of the inn with her.
At this time, the twelve living people in the room were tightly bound by the ghost, and all of them were hung on the dark and waveless water, their lives and deaths unknown.
Gu Shizhou glanced at the few people on the water, and couldn't help thinking of what he saw in the bronze mirror.
That ghost's name in the period of the Republic of China was Cai Pingting, an orphan without father and mother. Before she got married, she worked as a singer in the Xianlesi Ballroom. Later, she was spotted by the head of the Anqing Gang and became the ninth concubine. She was favored for a while. .
Cai Pingting is 20 years younger than the hall master. As she grows older, when the hall master's bed is too weak, she starts to raise her own little faces outside. These people are raised by Cai Pingting There are men and women in the annex, and she went to the annex every day to have fun while the hall master was out and away. Finally, the incident was revealed and she was brutally executed by the hall master of the Anqing Gang.
The method of execution was to strip her completely naked, beat her to death, prop her up with a hard bamboo pole, and hang her by the stone bridge over the water where people come and go. This hanging lasted for several months until Cai Pingting's corpse was rotten beyond recognition, so the hall master ordered someone to feed her corpse to the dogs, and there was not a single bit of food left.
Cai Pingting was a dissolute character during her lifetime. She was beautiful and charming, and she was less than 30 years old when she died. It was the best time for a woman, so she was naturally unwilling to become a lonely ghost like this.
With the accumulation of resentment, Cai Pingting turned into a ghost, hiding in this small town, waiting for an opportunity to move.
When she was alive, she was not a good person. In order to cover up the fact that she was stealing people outside, she killed several servants in the family who found out about her adultery.
At this time, Cai Pingting changed into a luxurious bright red cheongsam, which was so dazzling and enchanting.
She stood on the large balcony of the inn, raised her hands slightly, and twisted her slender waist like a water snake following the singing.
If you don't look at her head that was burned to the bone, perhaps such a picture can still be pleasing to the eye.
Ying Sheng stood aside, holding the hilt of the mahogany sword in his hand, while Gu Shizhou looked at Cai Pingting with indifferent eyes, without any disturbance.
"I'm just looking for a few people to have fun. They're happy, and I'm happy too. Is it worth your effort to target me?"
When Cai Pingting spoke, her white teeth moved up and down mechanically, which was very strange.
"Look, the pretty face I'm most proud of has been ruined by you."
"Is your name Gu Shizhou? I remember you, I really hate you."
"But it really surprises me. Your body is extremely yin, and it is the best parasite I have ever seen. From now on, I can use your body to go outside to have fun, so what if the head is gone, Whose head is not the head."
After finishing speaking, she swayed her black hairnet gemstone headdress, which instantly turned into two extremely resilient ghost cables, flying straight towards Gu Shizhou and Ying Sheng.
Cai Pingting didn't dare to underestimate Ying Sheng anymore, that man could hurt it by surprise.
After the first plot, it will be vigilant, and will not give Ying Sheng a second chance to make trouble.
Gu Shizhou threw out two talisman seals, and at the same time resisting the evil spirit's cable, he approached Ying Sheng and gave a soft instruction.
"Watch your hands, don't let the wound open."
Ying Sheng raised her lips and smiled, as she answered Gu Shizhou's words. She put away her injured hand and picked up the mahogany sword with one hand, but she didn't know how to use it. past?
Gu Shizhou took out the convex gossip mirror in his pocket, opened and closed his lips and read a few words, then the convex gossip mirror grew suddenly visible to the naked eye, and became a large mirror half the height of a person.
The mirror was pointed in Cai Pingting's direction, continuously absorbing the black and strong evil spirit from it.
The gossip convex mirror is used to dispel evil spirits, and it is perfect to deal with such ghost evil spirits, but Gu Shizhou cannot move when casting spells.
Cai Pingting noticed that her evil spirit was continuously sucked into the mirror, and she became anxious. Seeing Gu Shizhou standing behind the mirror, twisting her waist and drifting away, she wanted to get rid of Gu Shizhou first.
Gu Shizhou knew that it would approach, and the pre-prepared talisman fell from the sky, just covering Cai Pingting who was approaching, blocking all the black holes on its skull.
Manipulating the gossip convex mirror is very difficult. It requires the physiognomist to concentrate and have no distracting thoughts, and the complicated mantra cannot be mispronounced. This is not difficult for Gu Shizhou. She has always had a good memory, but she has no distracting thoughts...
She can have no distractions, but she doesn't want to.
Gu Shizhou glanced at Ying Sheng, who was wrestling his brows and wrestling with the mahogany sword not far away, and chuckled softly.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if you keep the ghost's breath, just treat it as Ying Sheng's addiction to catching ghosts.
Gu Shizhou was deliberately distracted, leaving time for Cai Pingting to linger, and he didn't beat her to death.
Seeing the skull-headed female ghost approaching Gu Shizhou's body, Ying Sheng frowned in displeasure, and didn't bother to study how to use the mahogany sword. He held the hilt of the sword, leveled the blade with the ground, and aimed at the female ghost's back. The position of the waist was thrown out, fast and accurate, and ruthless.
The white jade five emperors' money hanging under the peach wood sword buzzed, as if it had a spirituality, and the blade pierced Guisha's back. At that moment, Cai Pingting let out a horrific scream, which was extremely ear-piercing.
Gu Shizhou poked his head out from behind the mirror, looking at Ying Sheng who was not far away with gentle eyes, and there was an undisguised smile in his voice.
Ying Sheng walked over slowly, raised his hand and punched, the movement was free and easy, knocking Cai Pingting to the ground in an instant, who kept hissing and howling.
Cai Pingting was covered by the gossip convex mirror, and most of her body was full of evil spirits. She didn't have the strength to fight against them anymore, so she could only kneel on the ground in embarrassment.
Gu Shizhou put away the mirror, squatted beside Cai Pingting, and slowly rolled up his sleeves.
Then Ying Sheng watched as Gu Shizhou slowly dragged out a person from Cai Pingting's body. That person was the employer who had disappeared before. At this time, there was only breath in and no breath out, no different from a dead person.
Whether they believe in Feng Shui or not, most people think that death without a whole body is a curse and it is not good.
It's a pity that the employer deserved such a fate. She couldn't survive, but somehow she had a whole body.
The twelve people hanging on the water were also rescued. They stood or sat on the ground, at a loss, and realized that everyone had just walked through the gate of hell.
"Master Gu, thank you for saving your life!" The group was very excited and thanked Gu Shizhou one after another.
Gu Shizhou didn't respond to their words immediately, instead he narrowed his eyes and smiled absently.
From the moment they were chosen by the Zongtuo ghost, the fate of these people has already been decided. They don't live long. The joy of the rest of their lives now may make them fall into a sadder mood after a few years. Extricate yourself.
The most painful thing is falling from the clouds. If there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. Gu Shizhou really doesn’t know whether he has saved them or added hope, so that they will be even more disappointed when they know the truth in the future.
She asked herself in her heart, how would she choose between living a few more years or dying immediately?
She didn't even know whether to tell these people the truth, if she told them, would they feel a psychological burden?
But if you don't tell them that they plan the life they want to live ten years later, or twenty years later, will they regret it and feel resentful when they die in a few years?
The group got off the balcony and went back to their room to rest, only Gu Shizhou and Ying Sheng were left in the open space.
Gu Shizhou put away Cai Pingting who was on the ground, then walked to the edge of the balcony, and sat on it slowly, with his feet dangling in the air.
Sensing Gu Shizhou's emotions, Ying Sheng sat next to her and didn't take the initiative to ask, as if he was waiting for Gu Shizhou to speak out.
Neither of them opened their mouths to speak. After sitting for about ten minutes, Gu Shizhou couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Ying Sheng, but he saw that Ying Sheng didn't show any signs of impatience, and his brows were full of smiles.
Gu Shizhou told Ying Sheng about his concerns.
"It's very simple, you don't have to make the choice for them, you let them choose." Ying Sheng said.
"Let them choose by themselves?" Gu Shizhou muttered to himself, recalling what Ying Sheng said, and he understood it after a while.
Ying Sheng was tired from sitting, so he simply lay down on the edge of the balcony, with his head resting on Gu Shizhou's leg.
She found a comfortable position, and after lying down, she slowly said: "This is their business, and you don't need to worry about it."
As Ying Sheng said, his hand slipped in from the lapel of Gu Shizhou's shirt, and his fingertips pinched greedily on Gu Shizhou's slender waist.
Gu Shizhou's attention was completely diverted by Ying Sheng's movements, she accurately grasped the hand that was doing evil on her body, Gu Shizhou held Ying Sheng's cheeks with both hands, gently raised her chin, and spoke softly.
"Go home, it's cold."
**
After the matters in the small town were settled, Gu Shizhou and Ying Sheng boarded the car again, but the car was heading back to the Imperial City.
Ying Sheng didn't expect that Gu Shizhou would return to the Imperial City so soon, and they only came out within 20 days.
"Aren't you going to continue your training?" Ying Sheng asked.
"No, there are other things to do."
Gu Shizhou received an invitation from the Ying family, and the other party said that he wanted to meet her before fighting martial arts, so it was a formal acquaintance with her.
Gu Shizhou had no reason to refuse, she also wanted to meet that person.
"What's the matter?" Ying Sheng was not a curious person, she was used to indifference and alienation, but she wanted to know everything about Gu Shizhou, even trivial things.
Gu Shizhou didn't intend to hide it from Ying Sheng. The person from the Ying family is most likely the murderer who killed Ying Sheng's mother.
"I'm going to meet someone." Gu Shizhou said, raising his hand to stroke the broken hair on Ying Sheng's forehead, with gentle movements.
"I'll tell you everything after I meet him and make sure."
At this time, the twelve living people in the room were tightly bound by the ghost, and all of them were hung on the dark and waveless water, their lives and deaths unknown.
Gu Shizhou glanced at the few people on the water, and couldn't help thinking of what he saw in the bronze mirror.
