016 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 15

☆、Chapter 15 The red clothes are better than the maple skin and the skin is as white as snow

The group of white-clothed men were headless and wearing prison uniforms. Each of them held a head. They seemed to be a group of decapitated prisoners.They walked slowly towards the bullock cart, their heads still chattering in their arms.Xie Lian whispered to the other two people, saying: “When they approach later, be sure not to make a sound.”

However, Sanlang glanced at Ruoxie hanging in the air, tilted his head and asked: “Brother, you are actually a strange person?”

His tone was full of interest, and he said thankfully: “It’s okay. I can’t tell you about the strange people and strange people, just a little bit. They can’t see us now, and they will get closer later, and it will be hard to tell if they make a sound.”

The old man driving the carriage was dumbfounded when he saw Bai Ling flying by herself and walking headlessly. He was shocked when he heard this and shook his head repeatedly: “No, no, no! I’m afraid I can’t hold it in.”

“…” Xie Lian said, “Well, I’m offended.” After saying that, he quickly took action, a little behind him, and the old man immediately leaned on the car and fell asleep.Now, I finally don’t have to worry about him screaming in fear and being discovered.Xie Lian gently caught him, put him on the bullock cart, turned around, and said to Saburo: “It’s okay. Don’t be nervous.”

The sky was already dark, and Saburo’s expression could not be seen clearly. He could only be seen nodded. Xie Lian sat in front of the car, picked up the rope, and softly coaxed the cow.This group of ghosts in prison clothes came over and wanted to pass, but they felt something was blocking the road in the middle. They all said in a rough voice: “It’s really weird! Why can’t I pass!”

“Really! I can’t make it! Damn it!”

“Damn it, aren’t we ghosts ourselves? What ghosts can we see!”

Xie Lian finally managed to coax Niu, and passed by these headless ghosts in prison clothes. Hearing them holding their heads and making noisy noises, it was very funny.The ghosts still had many complaints: “Well, did you pick it up by mistake? Why do I feel that the one you are holding in your arms is my head?”

“Why is the incision on your head so uneven?”

“Well, that executioner was a novice. He chopped it off five or six times before he cut it off for me. I even doubted whether he did it on purpose.”

“Your family didn’t give him any money, didn’t you? Remember to pay him some money next time, so that he can be happy with a knife!”

“Where’s the next time?”

…

The Ghost Festival on July 15th is the largest festival in the ghost world.On this day, the gate of hell opens wide, and all the monsters and monsters that usually lurk in the darkness come out and have a wild carnival, and strangers must avoid it.Especially on this night, staying shut is the best option.As soon as you go out, the chance of bumping into something is greater than usual.Xie Lian always had a problem with his teeth when drinking cold water, and it was hard to wear Taoist robes, but now he was in trouble.I saw green will-o’-the-wisps floating in all directions, many ghosts chasing the will-o’-wit fire, and some expressionless, muttering ghosts in shrouds squatting in front of a circle, reaching out to receive the paper money, ingots and other offerings that people burned to them.This scene can be described as a chaotic dance of demons.Xie Lian was walking through it, thinking that he must read the almanac when going out in the future, when he suddenly felt something strange behind him.He glanced back and saw the young man sitting behind him.

Thanks for the pity: “Are you okay?”

Sanlang supported his chin with one hand and said, “Something’s wrong. I’m scared.”

“…” Although I really couldn’t hear any fear in his voice, Xie Lian still comforted me: “Don’t be afraid. You are behind me, nothing will hurt you.”

The young man smiled and said nothing.Xie Lian suddenly realized that he was staring at him.After a moment, he finally realized that what the young man was staring at was the cursed shackle between his neck.

This cursed shackle is like a black collar around a person’s neck. It cannot be hidden at all, and it can easily give people some bad associations.Xie Lian was about to speak when the old scalper pulled the cart to a fork in the road.Xie Lian took a look and saw that two dark mountain roads bifurcated here, and immediately pulled the cow’s rope.

Be extremely careful at this fork in the road.

On the Hungry Ghost Festival, sometimes when people are walking, they will find a road in front of them that does not usually exist.No stranger can take this road.Once you make a mistake and end up in the ghost world, it will be difficult to come back.

Xie Lian arrived here for the first time and couldn’t tell which of the two mountain roads to take. He remembered that in addition to collecting a large bag of rags in the town, he also bought some sundries, including a lottery tube. He thought to himself, I’ll do the math, so he rummaged through the bag again.He took out the lottery tube and shook it in his hand. While shaking it, he explained to Saburo: “The first one is left, the second one is right. Which way is better for the lottery, which way we go.” After using a little magic power and chanting silently three times, two lottery tickets fell out of the tube.He picked it up and looked at it, then fell silent.

Place the lottery, it will be a big disaster!

The two lots are both high and low. In other words, both roads are very dangerous. Doesn’t it mean that no matter which way you go, you will die?

Xie Lian had no choice but to say to the lottery tube: “Tong, tube, today we meet for the first time, why are you so heartless? Come again, give me some face.”

So, he held the microphone with both hands and shook it again.Shake out two more sticks, pick them up and see, they are all still signed, big omen!

Xie Lian decided not to waste any more mana. At this time, Saburo on the side suddenly said: “Shall I give it a try?”

Anyway, it didn’t matter whether he tried it or not, so Xie Lian handed him the lottery tube.Saburo took it with one hand, shook it casually, two pieces fell out, picked them up, and handed them to him without looking at them.Xie Lian took it and saw that both of them were signed.

Xie Lian was slightly surprised.Because, when he has deteriorated to this point, it seems that he often brings down other people’s luck. I don’t know if this is really the case, but he has always been complained about like this in the past.But the young man was not affected by him at all. He directly shook two and signed them. He sincerely praised: “Friend, you are very lucky.”

Sanlang threw the lottery tube back and said with a smile: “Really? Well, I also think I am lucky. I have always been like this.”

Hearing him say “It’s always been like this”, Xie Lian rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that the gap between Taoists and people was indeed like a chasm in the sky.Saburo asked again: “How to go?”

In this situation, you can only leave but not stay. Xie Lian originally planned to choose one at random and said: “Since both of them are signed, let’s just go.”

Now the rope was pulled a few times, and the wheels of the ox cart began to roll slowly again.Xie Lian was nervous and prepared to deal with various emergencies. Who would have thought that it turned out to be true. The journey went smoothly. After a while, the ox cart slowly climbed out of the forest and came to the open mountain road. It turned out that he had chosen the right path.

Bochi Village is already under the hillside, with clusters of warm and bright lights.The night wind blew by, and Xie Lian turned around. Sanlang seemed to be in a good mood, and lay back again. He was resting his hands on his head, looking at the bright moon. Under the faint moonlight, the young man’s eyebrows did not look like a real person.

After pondering for a moment, he thanked Lian and said with a smile: “Friend, have you ever told fortunes?”

Along the way, he finally became slightly suspicious.

It’s okay to be well-informed and well-informed.But when walking among the ghosts at night, the young man was a little too calm and composed.Although it cannot be ruled out that some people are naturally very calm, Xie Lian still feels that it is necessary to confirm a little bit.

Hearing his question, Sanlang turned around and said, “I haven’t thought about it.”

Thanks for the pity: “Then, do you want me to help you figure it out?”

Sanlang looked at him and said with a smile: “You want to help me figure it out?”

Thanks for the pity: “I kind of think about it.”

Sanlang nodded slightly and said, “Okay.”

He sat up, leaning slightly towards Xie Lian, and said, “How do you want to calculate it?”

Thanks for the pity: “How about palm reading?”

Hearing this, the corners of Saburo’s mouth curved slightly.I couldn’t tell what that smile meant, I just heard him say: “Okay.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand towards him.

The fingers of this left hand are slender and have distinct knuckles, which is very beautiful.And it is definitely not the kind of weak beauty, but the strength is hidden in it. No one would want to be choked by such a hand.Xie Lian remembered the slight change in Saburo’s expression when he touched him. He paid special attention to avoid physical contact and did not touch his hand directly. He just lowered his head and looked at it carefully.

The moonlight was pure white. It seemed not dark when it was dark, but it didn’t seem bright when it was bright. Xie Lian looked at it for a while. The ox cart was still crawling slowly on the mountain road, the wheels and wooden axles creaking.Saburo said: “How?”

After a while, Xie Lian said slowly: “You have a very good destiny.”

Sanlang said: “Oh? What’s a good idea?”

Xie Lian raised his head and said warmly: “You have a persevering temperament and are extremely persistent. Although you encounter ups and downs, you always stick to your heart. You often turn misfortune into good luck and adversity into good fortune. These blessings are long-lasting. My friend, your future will be full of flowers and bright.”

The above sentences are all made up on the spot and are nonsense.Xie Lian doesn’t know how to read palms.He was demoted before, and for a while he often regretted why he didn’t learn palm reading and facial recognition from the imperial masters in Huangji Temple. If he had learned it, he wouldn’t have to be a street performer and have his chest broken when he was trying to make a living in the world.And the reason why he wanted to see it was not to see the fate of this young man, but to see whether he had palm prints and fingerprints.

Ordinary demons and ghosts can transform into false flesh bodies and pretend to be living people, but the details of the flesh, such as palm prints, fingerprints, and hair tips, are generally not so detailed.Not only did this young man not have any mana fluctuations, no clues could be detected, his palm prints were also very clear.If it is really disguised by demons and ghosts, then only the level above “fierce” can achieve such a watertight and perfect disguise.However, how could a Ghost King with that level of status come to a small mountain village with him to ride in an ox cart to pass the time?Just like the priests in the heaven who are busy with everything, they are also very busy!

Xie Lian pretended to be confident and tried to make up a few sentences. Finally, he couldn’t make up any more. Sanlang kept staring at him, listening to his nonsense while laughing lowly, with a very intriguing smile, and said: “Is there anything more? Huh?”

Xie Lian wondered if he would still make it up, and said: “What else do you want to make up?”

Sanlang said: “Since it’s fortune telling, doesn’t it also mean marriage fortune telling?”

Xie Lian coughed lightly and said solemnly: “I’m not good at studying and I’m not very good at calculating marriages. But thinking about it, you shouldn’t have to worry about this.”

Sanlang raised an eyebrow and said, “Why do you think I don’t have to worry about this?”

Xie Lian smiled: “There must be many girls who like you.”

Sanlang said: “Then why do you think there must be many girls who like me?”

Xie Lian was about to open his mouth and answer him when he suddenly felt it.This kid actually tried every means to induce him to praise him directly. He was helpless and funny. He didn’t know what to say. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Sanlang.”

This is the first time Xie Lian has ever called him Saburo.The young man listened, laughed, and finally let him go.At this time, the bullock cart was panting and climbing into the village. Xie Lian turned around, held his forehead slightly, and quickly got out of the cart.Sanlang also jumped out of the car. Unexpectedly, when Xie Lian looked up, he realized that he had been lying lazily on the oxcart all the way. Now that the two of them were standing together, the boy was actually taller than him, and the two of them could not look at each other.Sanlang stood in front of the car and stretched, thanking him: “Sanlang, where are you going?”

Saburo sighed: “I don’t know. Just sleep on the street, or find a cave.”

Thanks for the pity: “Isn’t it possible?”

Sanlang spread his hands and said, “I can’t help it, I have nowhere to go.” He looked over, laughed twice more, and said, “Thank you for telling me my fortune. I’ll see you again in the future.”

Xie Lian felt ashamed when he mentioned fortune telling.Seeing that he turned around, Xie Lian hurriedly said: “Wait, if you don’t mind, do you want to come to my temple?”

Sanlang paused, turned half of his body, and said, “Is it okay?”

Thanks for the pity: “That house didn’t originally belong to me. I heard that many people used to spend the night there. It’s just that it may be much simpler than you think. I’m afraid you won’t be able to live in it.”

If this young man is really a young master who ran away from home, he cannot be allowed to run around like this.Xie Lian was very suspicious that he only ate half of the steamed buns all day long. If the young man behaved willfully with his body like this, sooner or later he would really faint on the street.After hearing what he said, Sanlang turned around and did not answer. Instead, he walked to Xie Lian and leaned forward.Xie Lian hadn’t figured out what he was going to do, but felt that the distance between the two suddenly became very close, and it was a bit overwhelming.

The young man retreated again. He actually picked up the big bag of scraps and scraps that Xie Lian had brought back and said, “Let’s go then.”

The author has something to say: First, as for the ashes story, there will never be any plot where someone cheats the ashes away or accidentally breaks the ashes with a slip of the hand.I would go crazy when I see this kind of plot, so don’t scare yourself.

Second, there is nothing between offense and suffering. You are a fairy and I am a ghost. We have an insurmountable identity and generation gap and we cannot be together. This position is entangled.Love is just love when you want to, love hard!We are all hundreds of years old, so be considerate!La la la la la la…

From then on, His Highness and the child-faced Huahua lived a happy life of collecting rags together!(No!

Bodhisattva is actually water chestnut, horse hoof.The chanting method we have there is “Bodhisattva Nine”, so after a comprehensive analysis, it is called Bodhisattva.

Don’t worry about the old man, I’ll worry about him in the next chapter!
