Found another book-wearer today

Chapter 1

As soon as the sky turned pale, Liu Fugui rode his old donkey out to the east of the town.

There are a few scattered families nearby, but only Liu Fugui got up so early. He went to the forest yesterday and found a few fresh jade dew. He was anxious to go to Tianhai Pavilion to exchange some money.

This jade dew looks ordinary, it is not as good-looking as the coral fruit on the wild trees on the roadside, it can neither be eaten nor used, if it is placed in the market, no one may take a look at it.

However, Tianhai Pavilion was willing to spend money to accept it, and the price even reached five taels of silver.

In a few days it will be the eighth birthday of the eldest in the family. The little guy likes the rare birds of the old Tang family very much. Liu Fugui plans to buy them as a birthday present for him.

Thinking of his son's happy smiling face, Liu Fugui was in a good mood, and even the wound on his right leg that was scratched by a sharp rock while picking jade dew became less painful.

Humming a little song, he drove the donkey across the deserted fields, over the gurgling shallow stream, across the wilderness with strange rocks, and finally saw the narrow ray of sky.

This section of the road is less than three feet wide, and on both sides are towering blade walls. When you look up, you can see the gradually brightening sky, and the ground under your feet is full of fallen rocks, which are uneven.

In such a cramped environment, if an object falls from a height, there is no place to hide, but Liu Fugui has been used to walking for decades, so he doesn't worry too much.

The only problem was that it was not easy to pass on a donkey, so he used his weak legs to lead the mount forward slowly.

The line of sky is about [-] meters long, and the path is as straight as a front. Looking from a distance, it looks like being split by a giant sword falling from the sky.

In fact, there are also such rumors. It is said that there were powerful monks who fought here hundreds of years ago. sword marks.

Liu Fugui is an ordinary person, and he doesn't know whether this long-standing legend is true or not. He just takes it as some kind of interesting anecdote and tells it to the children before going to bed. Day clamored to hear something else.

But when it comes to rumors, people have been talking about it recently, and it seems that there are ghosts hovering near the sky.

The ghost was dressed in blood and moved erratically. If he accidentally met his gaze, he would be depressed and have nightmares for the next few days.

More than one townsman stood up and said that this was his own personal experience, and he said it miraculously, as if it was true.They also solemnly warned, do stay away from the ghost, if you get close to it, you may encounter something more terrible.

Liu Fugui didn't believe it, and even scoffed at it.

His reason is also simple, I don't know how many times I have walked this mountain road, have I ever seen any strange ghosts in red clothes?

Today, he walked within a line of sky on foot as usual, except that the weather was a little earlier and his speed was a little slower, there was nothing unusual about him.

——Until that dark red suddenly appeared in the field of vision.

At the beginning, Liu Fugui didn't realize it, he thought someone's clothes had fallen here, but suddenly met a pair of lifeless eyes, his eyes were gloomy and cold, which really shocked him.

It was a young man's face, quite handsome in appearance, but his skin was too pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun all year round, showing an unhealthy look.

Liu Fugui spurned his fuss in his heart, and said hello: "Little brother, good morning."

The other party didn't respond, just stared at him.

Liu Fugui was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to hurry up and walk through this section of the road, but the injury to his right leg broke out untimely, as if invisible sharp claws tore open the gap that hadn't scabbed, and penetrated into it to stir unscrupulously flesh.

He groaned in pain and staggered to a halt.

Out of the corner of his eye, the red figure got closer, and within a few breaths he was already five steps away.

Liu Fugui's eyes widened slightly.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally noticed that the opponent's legs were gradually becoming transparent, and the dark red clothes were more like blood-stained, and the traces of drying could be vaguely seen, like slender worms.

A faint smell of blood diffused in the air and floated to the tip of his nose.

Liu Fugui suddenly remembered the rumor he had heard.

What I thought was nonsense at first, turned out to match up with this guy in front of me one by one... Could it be that he really hit a ghost?Still in broad daylight! ?

The biting chill turned into a centipede and crawled up Liu Fugui's back along his back.

He wanted to turn around and run, but the increasingly severe pain made it difficult for him to move.Not only could he not move his legs, but even his consciousness was burned by the pain, and he became a little confused.

The dull donkey finally noticed something, shaking like a chaff sieve, and let out a cry of fear.

Liu Fugui thought in a daze that he might really have to confess here, so he let go of the rein, hoping that the donkey that had been with him for several years would be lucky enough to escape.

At this moment, the ghost not far away suddenly frowned and stopped in place.

The deep eyeballs rolled slightly, and I don't know what I saw, showing an obvious look of guard.

The next moment, its figure quickly faded away, as silent and silent as when it appeared.

Liu Fugui was overjoyed when he noticed that the pain subsided suddenly and his consciousness returned to clarity, but the ghost in red was nowhere to be seen.

There was almost no time to hesitate, and his survival instinct drove him to leave this dangerous and cramped space as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, he only walked less than one-third of the distance, and people always burst out with unprecedented potential at critical moments, so it didn't take long for him to escape from the sky.

It was just running wildly with injuries, and it was somewhat strenuous, so I had to stop and sit on a rock for a short rest.

The donkey kept walking beside him, feeling very restless.

"Also, let's go back first..."

Liu Fugui murmured, as if he was talking to the donkey who was also worried, and also seemed to be talking to himself, "This is too weird, I can't stay here for a long time, I can't stay..."

The whispers stopped abruptly.

Liu Fugui froze into a stone.

Because the touch that suddenly fell on his shoulder was really like a warm palm.

Liu Fugui almost immediately thought of the ghost in red. After all, there is no one around, so it is the characteristic of ghosts to be able to approach behind him silently! ?

The strength on the shoulders gradually increased.

A look of panic appeared on Liu Fugui's face, and various terrifying thoughts flashed through his mind, like weeds growing continuously.

He tried his best to calm his mind, and thought about fighting with bare hands, or jumping on a donkey to escape, but he didn't dare to take action, for fear of angering the other party and leading to a miserable end.

In the end, he could only plop down on his knees and beg for mercy, he didn't even dare to look at it, lowered his head and tremblingly said: "I was the one who offended you abruptly, I beg the Great Immortal to show you a noble hand and spare my humble life!"

The other party did not answer, and only silence spread in the air.

Liu Fugui said anxiously: "As long as Daxian is willing to give me a way out, I can do whatever you want!"

The other party seemed to be touched, and repeated his last few words in a low voice. The words were a little jerky and slightly hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Liu Fugui's heart almost jumped out of his throat, his spirit was extremely tense, and he was anxiously waiting for the final judgment.

After a while, the other party hummed lightly.

Liu Fugui held his breath immediately, and then hesitantly heard the voice: "Excuse me, can I have something to eat?"

"..."

Liu Fugui:? ? ?

He was full of astonishment and a sense of absurdity, so ghosts also want to eat?And what's going on, his tone is so polite!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced up, and finally realized that the person who spoke was not the red-clothed ghost just now, but a white gown.

Moving up the line of sight, the facial features of the other party came into view.

Liu Fugui was stunned for a moment.

He can swear to God that he has lived for more than 30 years and has never seen such a good-looking man.His skin is as white as jade, his eyebrows are radiant, his handsomeness is dusty, and there is a trace of coldness that seems to be absent, as if he is a cyclist walking out of an ink painting.

The previous red-clothed ghost was also considered to be handsome, but compared with this person, it was undoubtedly overshadowed.

Seeing that Liu Fugui didn't respond for a long time, the man in white pursed his lips and said in frustration, "Can't you?"

Liu Fugui came to his senses suddenly, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, of course! You can eat as much as you want!"

He didn't dare to take it lightly, even if the person in front of him wasn't a ghost in red, who knew if it might be some kind of supernatural monk?

It is said that practitioners regard human life as worthless, and there are many people who will do something because they are not going well, and the world will change color with just a wave, and they still have family members to take care of, so they don't want to die so early!

Hearing this, the white-clothed man frowned with relief, showed a somewhat happy smile, and said seriously: "Thank you."

The feeling of his speaking is not as jerky as it was at the beginning, and he can hear a somewhat clear and clear tone, like a soft spring breeze.

Liu Fugui was flattered: "You're welcome! Just tell me what you want to eat!"

The man in white: "Really?"

Liu Fugui patted his chest and promised: "My old Liu never tells lies!"

The eyes of the man in white were even brighter, and the slight melancholy covering them disappeared without a trace at this moment, revealing an impatient joy.

*****

An hour later.

Liu Fugui stared blankly at the beauty in white sweeping a table of food with reserved movements, and finally understood the meaning of the other's expression at that time.

How long have you been hungry? ?

His wife whispered in his ear: "Aren't you going to the town? Why are you back now? Where is this young man from? He seems very unfamiliar?"

Regarding the former question, Liu Fugui could barely give an outline of what happened, but regarding the latter question, he was no less confused than his wife, and could only vaguely express that it might be a fairy.

His wife's surprise was written all over her face.

This reaction is not surprising, in fact Liu Fugui was also shocked.

After all, according to the common understanding of the world, immortal cultivators nourish their bodies with aura, and they have been fasting for a long time. Even if they have a special liking for food, they will not be as turbulent as the man in white, as if he has not eaten a grain of rice for three days and three nights. Street hungry.

Of course, compared to those reincarnated from starvation ghosts, the men's movements are much more elegant, not rushing, eating slowly, coupled with that excellent appearance, there is a kind of pleasing beauty.

But this doesn't change the fact that he ate ten bowls of rice.

His stomach was like a bottomless abyss, he swallowed so many things without any ups and downs, and was always flat as before—from this aspect, it seemed that it was indeed the ability of an immortal cultivator.

Two quarters of an hour passed, and the man in white finally stopped the tableware and let out a long sigh of relief.

Liu Fugui and his wife looked at each other, then cautiously stepped forward and asked, "I wonder if Daxian is still satisfied?"

The man nodded: "I'm not very hungry anymore."

Liu Fugui was speechless, thinking that he was not very hungry, could it be implying that they were not full yet? ?

"If Daxian thinks it's not enough, the two of us will prepare some food..."

"Ah, no need, it's so embarrassing."

The man paused, and said with a serious expression: "You are good people, is there anything I can do for you?"

His tone sounded peaceful and sincere, without any condescending attitude. It was completely different from those practitioners that Liu Fugui had met by chance, and he seemed to sincerely want to thank them.

Liu Fugui felt flattered again, but he hesitated for a moment, but still didn't dare to say it, he shook his head and said, "I don't need to thank you, these are all due..."

However, the wife saw the children peeping from behind the door, and couldn't help but rush to talk: "Can you please help me find out, does my baby have a talent for cultivation?"

"...Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Fugui was anxious.

The wife turned her head and glared at him, and the man seemed to have been stabbed at the Ya acupuncture point, and all the words that stopped him were blocked in his throat.

In all fairness, his wife's request is also exactly what he thought. Immortal cultivators can call the wind and rain, and roam the world proudly, which is what most mortals aspire to be.It is impossible for them to have a chance, so they naturally hope that their children can embark on a fairy journey.

Hearing the hostess' request, the man in white was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said it's okay.

Liu Fugui was hit by the surprise that fell from the sky, and he was emotionally excited, but saw the other party's beautiful eyebrows frowned, and fell into deep thought.

The air was silent.

The children behind the door seemed to realize that this matter was related to them, and they watched the good-looking stranger nervously, just like their parents.

After a while, the man in white finally spoke, and asked with some embarrassment, "Can you tell me how to look at this bone first?"

"..."

The house was silent.
