Only I, a big orange, can't cultivate immortality

Chapter 52

It was night and the sky was full of stars.

For dinner, Ji Dao and Jiang Shuke strongly recommended the Taiping Pot, half pot of spicy soup, half pot hotter, with fresh vegetables and thinly sliced ​​meat, with Ji Dao’s apricot wine brewed last year, to eat in the cold weather Sweating all over, very comfortable.

After dinner, Jiang Shuke was dragged away by Ji Dao, and continued to consolidate the theory writing skills he learned during the day. He tried to ask Cheng Zi for help, but what he got was Cheng Zi's innocent smiling face and a beckoning cat waving goodbye.

Lin Jiangxian raised his head to look at the sky, then turned his head to look at Cheng Zi who had no sense of crisis, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"It's almost time." He bent down to pick up his big orange, tipped the weight on tiptoe, and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go to Ji's Mansion."

"Meow~"

Cheng Zi happily responded, and the ending sounded with small waves of anticipation.

The long wind blows, passes over the brightly lit Ji Mansion, and blows the candlelight lanterns among the flowers and trees in the corridor. The light is on and off, creating a weirder atmosphere than no lights.

The sound of the rustling wind sounds ethereal and quiet at night, suddenly far and near, like the erratic footsteps of some invisible person.

Lin Jiangxian hugged Cheng Zi through the closed gate, stepped onto the leaf-strewn vestibule, and was caught in the face by a gust of wind.

Cheng Zi was curiously poking his head and looking around, but when the wind blows, he shrinks back into Linjiang Immortal's arms in fright, revealing only a pair of pointed ears and a pair of eyes. The hair is slightly blown.

"Meow meow……"

Didn't you say it's not scary?

Cheng Zi muttered in a low voice, grabbed Lin Jiangxian's sleeve with his little paws, and hid his eyes again.

He is disheveled and cowardly, but loves to play.

"Don't be afraid, there is really nothing scary here." Immortal Linjiang rubbed the back of his neck lightly, and walked up the corridor in front of him while comforting him. His tone was gentle, but a little coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Meow?"

really?

Out of trust in Immortal Linjiang, Cheng Zi cautiously raised his head again and looked out of the long corridor.

Ji's mansion was originally an imperial merchant's house, and it reveals the extravagance and magnificence that the Ji family can't understand and bear everywhere, especially those precious flowers, plants and trees. After not being properly cared for, they either withered, or grew wildly and wreaked havoc around the corridors. Constructed a deep and dead shadow.

When Cheng Zi saw that shadow, he always felt that something would suddenly jump out of it to scare him, so he quickly looked away.

"Squeak... ah..."

The lantern hanging above the head was blown left and right, and the candles flickered along with it.

Cheng Zi retracted his head again.

At this time, Immortal Linjiang walked through the corridor and entered the first small courtyard on the left from behind the moon gate, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

Cheng Zi rested his paws on his arms, and carefully raised his head to look at the room ahead.

The glazed tiles on the eaves reflected the red light coming from nowhere, like scarlet eyes staring coldly at the people entering the yard.

The door of the room was ajar, revealing a foot of warm red candlelight, which should be a red candle.

Cheng Zi stared at the door and window for a while, and suddenly a figure appeared on the door, slender and slim, it was the silhouette of a woman, but there was something vaguely incongruous.

"Officer, it's late at night, don't you want to sleep?"

Holding a lamp in her hand, she moved lightly with lotus steps towards the bed, and her voice sounded softly.

No one in the room answered, and judging by her reaction, it is estimated that her "official" refused.

"Ugh."

The woman sighed softly, the sadness and resentment in her tone made Cheng Zi feel pity for even a cat.

"Officials stay up late into the night like this all day long, what if they lose their health?"

The woman took a few more steps forward, the Bu Yao on the ponytail swayed slightly, the shadow of the Bu Yao connected with the outline of her shoulders, almost blending into a whole.

Suddenly, Cheng Zi's eyes widened.

He knows!He finally knew where the incongruity was!

The head of this shadow is clearly facing forward, but the shoulders and back are turned in the opposite direction. The combination of the head and the body is completely staggered in the opposite direction, just like...

It was as if her head had been twisted 180 degrees!

"Meow!"

Cheng Zi screamed in fright, and instantly exploded into a hairball of a hedgehog, with his head and claws slammed into his belly, and even though he was in Linjiang Xian's arms, he was hit hard on his chest!

"Meow meow... meow meow..."

There is a ghost ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Cheng Zi clung to Immortal Linjiang's chest in a ball, trembling.

"Don't be afraid, she can't see us." The corners of Linjiang Xian's lips slightly raised, gently stroking the big fleshy dumpling in his arms, hugging him to his lips and kissing.

Cheng Zi turned around and hugged his neck, buried her head in the hollow of his shoulder, not daring to look outside.

"Do you want to leave?" Immortal Linjiang wrapped his hands around his head and massaged it slowly.

Cheng Zi was still afraid, too scared to move, but he still shook his head.

He is good, cowardly and loves to play 2.0.

Immortal Linjiang hugged him tightly, and said lightly: "Okay, then let's go into the house and see what she wants to do."

"……Meow."

Cheng Zi tremblingly agreed.

Immortal Linjiang's feet flickered, and she had already entered the room, just passing by the woman in red, with her hair in a pony bun and her steps gracefully.

Cheng Zi raised his eyes inadvertently, and was frightened by the close-range shock for the second time, covering his mouth with his paws so as not to make a sound.

There was a gentle smile on the woman's beautiful face, her neck leaned forward, her heels forward, and she dragged her body forward.

On the bed opposite her lay Ji Chang whom Cheng Zi had only seen in the morning. His complexion became even uglier, and his lips also turned a poisoned, poisonous, purple-purple color. He was dying with only one breath.

The woman stepped forward, put down the lamp, picked up another bowl, then raised her hand to grab her hair, pulled out her own head, and let the blood flow into the bowl along a section of the white spine.

Cheng Zi's scalp was numb, and his body was shaking like he was stepping on a sewing machine when he was fishing in the school library in his previous life.

"Before the official rests, drink the ginseng soup that my concubine made for you, so you can replenish your body."

The woman poured a bowl full of blood, put her head back as if nothing had happened, this time on her back, then stretched out her hand, helped Ji Chang up, and fed him the bowl... I don't know exactly what it was liquid of something.

Her voice was still so gentle and graceful, but her every move was so frightening and frightening, making people chill.

Cheng Zi didn't dare to look any further, and tremblingly looked away to observe the things hanging around the bed.

Buddha beads, longevity lamps, Taoist instruments...

A bunch of odds and ends of metaphysical items, so new that they just came out of the factory last week, but none of them worked.

Women ignore them.

"Ji's family has found many famous doctors and masters for Ji Chang. These are part of their efforts." As if hearing Cheng Zi's doubts, Lin Jiangxian answered him softly, almost close to the woman, " But their efforts came to an end. After nightfall, no one dared to stay and take care of him."

"Meow……"

It is human nature to be wise and protect one's life.

Cheng Zi resisted his fear and responded, although he also felt that this matter was a bit funny and ironic.

He slowed down for a while, instead of looking at the female ghost's next move, he raised his head and put it next to Linjiang Xian's ear, the kitten rubbed its mouth against his jade white ear and asked, "Meow wow?"

Why did this female ghost come to Ji Chang?Will she kill him?

"She is not an ordinary female ghost, but a grieving ghost. The grievances she suffered during her lifetime gave birth to a strong grievance after her death. The people on the road can basically be regarded as hopeless."

Lin Jiangxian explained flatly.

Cheng Zi was taken aback: "Meow?"

So she has grievances that are still unresolved?

"Yes." Immortal Linjiang's ears gradually became hot and red from the base of her ears, but her face was calm, "But she found the wrong person. Ji Chang is not her real target of revenge, but the one who killed her." A shield thrown by someone."

"Meow?"

Surprise made Cheng Zi forget his fear, he suddenly turned his head to look at the bed, saw the woman squinted her eyes, grinned to her ears, showing a weird and terrifying smile, and was so scared that she stuck back to her original position.

"Ji Chang has the karma of the ghost that was transferred by that person. If he dies, this karma will be cut off, and the ghost will dissipate—the way of heaven doesn't care about the ghost's revenge, but if the ghost hurts innocent people during the revenge , will lose the chance of reincarnation.”

Linjiang Xian continued to speak with red ears: "Cheng Zi, do you want this matter to end here?"

"Meow!"

No!

Cheng Zi refused without thinking.

Hesitating for another second in another option is disrespecting his conscience!

Immortal Linjiang lowered her eyes: "You want to set things right and let her find a real enemy, even if she will die a lot because of it... Although she is not innocent, she is not guilty of death?"

"Meow...meow meow."

No, that's not what it said.

Cheng Zi thought for a moment, shook his head seriously, and meowed in his ear for a while.

The way of heaven in this world does not protect the wicked, so it allows existences such as grieving ghosts to take revenge, and at the same time restricts this revenge system and formulates a punishment mechanism.

Now some people take advantage of the loopholes in the law of heaven and try to use innocent people to prevent disasters for themselves and save their lives and the lives of a series of wicked people related to grieving ghosts. This is something that needs to be corrected.

Cheng Zi couldn't decide who deserved to die and who didn't, and he couldn't judge whether those wicked people would do good to atone for their sins in the future, or continue to serve the wicked world.

He just wanted to bring things back to the original track, let the wronged be redressed, the hated take revenge, and those who committed crimes pay the price.

Don't overcomplicate things.Since this is the mercy and justice of the way of heaven, then leave everything to the will of heaven.

Immortal Linjiang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and the woman sitting by the bed also stared at Ji Chang, who was exhaling more and less inhaling, and was stunned for a long time, her face was still smiling, but there was no sign of a smile, let alone a sense of relief. .

"Okay." Immortal Linjiang let out a breath, pinched Cheng Zi's ear and rubbed it, "As you said, let everything return to the right track and leave it to God's will."

Cheng Zi nodded, and suddenly his eyes froze.

Seeing Immortal Linjiang's ears that turned red for some reason, he curiously stretched out his paw to touch it, and squeezed it again.

"..."

Immortal Linjiang grabbed his restless little claws, and her ears became even redder.

……

A convoy came along the official road hundreds of miles away from Spring City. This year, the second place in Qiu Wei's ranking was placed further away in Dongcun City to serve as the palace lord. In the convoy, apart from him and his family, there were soldiers in charge of guarding him.

The convoy stopped before the fork in the road.

In fact, these two roads can go to Winter Inch City, but the one on the left will take a detour and pass through Spring City.

General Zhao, who was in charge of escorting No. [-] to his post, turned his horse and went to the carriage where No. [-] was located and asked him which way he wanted to go.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and a gentle voice came out: "Take the road on the left. It's still early before the departure day, and I want to pay homage to an old friend in Spring City, and also visit friends from Ji's family along the way."

"Yes."

General Zhao looked up at the sky, and said: "We are going to Chuncheng now, and we will arrive in about half an hour. We can just take a rest for two days, get some food and drinks before we start, and there will be no delay."

"Cough, cough cough... But it's up to the general's arrangement." The second place coughed lightly, with a trace of weakness in his voice.

"Msister, come, drink some water... You have traveled such a long distance before you recover from your illness, you need to rest more."

"My lady, thank you..."

General Zhao heard that the couple inside seemed to be starting to talk about themselves, so he rode away wisely.

Thousands of stars are shining above the wilderness, but no one has noticed that one is particularly bright and blazing, as if it has burned to its peak and is about to fall.

at the same time.

"Ah-"

Ji Dao leaned in front of the window and sneezed unexpectedly. Jiang Shuke, who was practicing strategies to solve problems, trembled in fright, and made a wrong stroke in a character that was about to be written.

"What's the matter, sir?" he asked dejectedly.

"It's okay." Ji Dao rubbed a strand of hair at his temples twice, with a happy smile on his face, "I just thought that some animals would be unlucky, and I was so happy that I couldn't help but want to sneeze."

"You want to sneeze when you're happy?" Jiang Shuke bit the tip of his pen and painfully thought about how to write the next sentence, and asked casually, "What's wrong with you?"

Ji Dao rubbed his nose, smiled lazily and said, "I'm not Ji Dao."

"Hahaha...not funny."
