Becoming a fox fairy from Liaozhai

Chapter 164
Ning Caichen told Gong Mengbi what happened, and Gong Mengbi thought about it and said, "Deep in the shadow of Lan..."

Seeing Ning Caichen's worried appearance, Gong Mengbi comforted him: "Don't worry, your souls were pulled into this real world, and your body is still in the monk's house."

"I think that ghost is planning to arrest your souls, and then murder your bodies."

Ning Caichen asked anxiously, "What should I do?"

Gong Mengbi said: "You lit the incense pill, protected by righteous energy, monsters and ghosts can't get close to you, and you will be safe after dawn."

Ning Caichen calmed down a bit, and found that Ma Junji and Yan Chixia were gone, and asked, "Brother Ma and Brother Yan are gone, are they okay?"

Gong Mengbi said: "Only you are awake, I only saw you when I came, the two of them should have already reached the depths of Lan Yin."

"Deep in the shade of orchids, what is that place?" Ning Caichen had a gloomy face, worried about the safety of Ma Junji and Yan Chixia.

Gong Mengbi said: "Let's just follow and have a look, just reach out."

Ning Caichen stretched out a hand, and Gong Mengbi disappeared in an instant, turning into a pill-like flame, like a flaming dragon ball.

Ning Caichen held the flame in his hand, but he couldn't feel the heat. The flame sank into his hand, scaring him to blow it up.

But only for a moment, as if it was just an illusion, the flame disappeared, and a tattoo of a fox with a tail like fire appeared in his palm.

Ning Caichen heard Gong Mengbi's voice coming from the fox tattoo, and said, "Brother Ning, go forward."

Ning Caichen knew that this was Gong Mengbi hiding in his palm, so he went straight forward according to the words.

In this vast expanse of whiteness, it is actually impossible to distinguish front, back, left, and right. Ning Caichen couldn't tell how long he had walked, maybe it was a long time, maybe it was only a short moment. A new world was revealed.

The sky is gloomy, and this place seems to be a cemetery, and the names and inscriptions on the stele made of wood can no longer be seen clearly.

"Wow—" an old crow howled on the branches, the cold wind swirled in the middle of the cemetery, paper money was scattered on the large and small dirt bags, and the wind blew the white flags in the cemetery to fly wildly.

Startled by the wind, the old crow flapped its wings and flew into the forest.

Ning Caichen felt cold all over his body, and he heard Gong Mengbi's voice ringing in his ears: "Follow the crow."

Ning Caichen ran after the old crow, and vaguely heard the sound of chanting accompanied by wooden fish in the wind.

The old crow stopped on the branch, and Ning Caichen stepped under the branch, and the world suddenly changed before his eyes, from the mountains and forests to the villages and towns with gurgling water and bays.

Ning Caichen stood by the water, the sky was clear and the wicker was soft, it was March in Yangchun.

The girls were washing monk clothes by the water, teasing each other with bright smiles in their eyes.

"With the masters here, those Rakshasa ghosts will not dare to come again, and we don't have to worry about it."

"These monks are really capable, and they can really subdue demons."

"I heard that Raksha ghosts have saw-toothed claws, blue-faced fangs, and eyes bigger than copper bells. They are uglier than each other, and they like to rob young and beautiful women."

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to be scared to death. Zhenniang was killed by a Raksha ghost, and the masters are chanting scriptures at Zhenniang's house to save the souls of the dead."

"Zhen Niang is so young, how could it be so difficult."

"It's not necessarily a good thing if a daughter's parents are too good."

"In our Orchid Township, she is the one who grows the best flowers. Even the county magistrate asked to take them and offered them to the imperial capital. Now that she's gone, I'm afraid there won't be such a situation in Lanhua Township in the future."

"Then what should we do? Can we still pay the orchid tax in our township?"

"I don't know, I'm so worried."

Ning Caichen listened to these girls talking, and the chanting sound in his ears became louder and louder, and it kept buzzing in Ning Caichen's ears, which disturbed him and made him want to vomit.

The girls who were talking gradually restrained their voices, and slowly looked at Ning Caichen who was on the side.

Ning Caichen smelled a dangerous atmosphere, Gong Mengbi immediately pointed out: "Follow the sound of chanting to Zhenniang's house."

Strange to say, as soon as he moved around, the chanting sound returned to its original state, and the girls resumed their conversation.

Ning Caichen was so frightened by this weird scene that he broke into a cold sweat. Hearing the sound of chanting getting closer, Ning Caichen found Zhen's mother's house.

The door of Jane's family is open, and there are white lanterns in Chinese characters on the door.It can be seen from the furnishings at home that Jane's family is very rich.

In the courtyard, the monks gathered around a coffin, knocked on wooden fish, and chanted scriptures to save Zhenniang. From a distance, Ning Caichen saw Ma Junji and Yan Chixia mixed in with the monks. After the monk, he shook his head and chanted along with him.

He was overjoyed, and whispered: "I found them, brother Mingfu, what should we do next."

Gong Mengbi said: "Learn from them to recite scriptures together."

Ning Caichen walked among the monks, everyone was doing their own thing, and this outsider didn't attract anyone's attention.

The crying old parents and elder brother not far away, and the big and small monks reciting scriptures nearby, are strangely like a painting, a moving painting.

He walked up to Ma Junji and Yan Chixia, and out of curiosity, he glanced at the coffin.

The coffin was open, and there was a female corpse inside, covered with a white cloth, so I couldn't see what it looked like.

Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew away a corner of the white cloth, revealing half of the female corpse's face.

This is an extremely beautiful girl, even though she has lost her vitality, she still blooms silently like a beautiful flower.

Ning Caichen's heart skipped a beat, not daring to be disrespectful to the deceased, he quickly looked away, sat behind Ma Junji and Yan Chixia, and yelled and fooled along with the chanting.

This fooling made him hear that only Ma Junji was really chanting scriptures. He obviously didn't even know the scriptures, but Ma Junji perfectly played the role of a monk.And Yan Chixia muttered, it was clearly the Tao Te Ching.

Ning Caichen said happily: "Brother Yan, you are also awake."

Yan Chixia was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Ning Caichen hesitated for a moment, and instead of confessing about Gong Mengbi, he asked, "Brother Yan, there's something weird going on here, do you know how to get out?"

Yan Chixia shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's also my first time coming here."

At this time, the chanting sound suddenly stopped.

Ning Caichen secretly thought it was bad, and sure enough, all the monks looked at them, "Damn it for disrespecting gods and Buddhas!"

It got dark all of a sudden.

The pale lanterns illuminated the small courtyard, and the skins of these monks split open suddenly, and tall black monsters emerged from the human skins one by one, with red hair, blue eyes, blue faces and long fangs, and rushed towards them.

Ma Junji was still shaking his head and pretending to be a monk, but Ning Caichen grabbed him and shouted, "The fake monks have turned into monsters, why are you still pretending to be a real monk here!"

"It's a Rakshasa ghost! Get back!" Yan Chixia stood in front of them, protecting them from retreating.

Seeing the Raksha ghost rushing in front of her, Yan Chixia suddenly stopped, stretched out her hand, and called out: "Star Torch!"

A meteor-like sword light flew across with red light, instantly cutting the Raksha ghost in front of him into two pieces.
