The life simulator of the strange world

Chapter 13 The Hanged Ghost

After Chai Yingying was punched by Zhu Qi, there was no trouble until dawn.

Zhu Qi ate his dry food and extinguished the fire before moving on. After walking for about half a day, he finally reached the official road from the small path.

Dayan has sixteen prefectures, each prefecture has a few to a dozen prefectures, and each prefecture governs over a dozen counties.

Moreover, it is a feudal centralized system, and the imperial power does not go to the countryside. Therefore, villages, villages, etc. are all managed by respected old people.

Baishui County is located on the edge of Jianmu Mansion, and it takes about ten days to walk. If you take the trail, it may be three to five days faster, but Zhu Qi went astray, and instead of going fast, it was delayed by two days.

After walking for more than two days, I met an inn on the road, but Zhu Qi had no money on him, only dry food.

That night, the female ghost Chai Yingying took out the bank note, but when Chai Yingying died, the bank note turned into a ghost bone, and if she touched it, half of her life would be confessed to be there, and she couldn't move it.

Zhu Qi looked up at the sky, it was already covered with dark clouds, and it might rain heavily in one or two hours.

No matter whether you have money or not, you must stay here to shelter from the rain overnight.

After taking a closer look, it turned out that this place was an abandoned inn. Except for dust accumulation and weeds coming out of the cracks in the floor tiles, the entire inn was well preserved.

Zhu Qixin was puzzled. He went to the counter to check and found that the account book was still open, but the paper on it had turned yellow and the words could not be read clearly.

Suddenly there were footsteps upstairs.

"Who!"

Zhu Qi shouted in a low voice.

A scholar came down the stairs on the second floor with a thin face. After seeing Zhu Qi, he cupped his hands and said, "Xiaosheng Wu Hanxue is a Tong student and is about to go to Jianmu Mansion for the exam."

"Wuhan School?"

Zhu Qi stared at the scholar twice more.

In the simulator, this person has a good relationship with him, and he will become the county magistrate in the future, but he hanged himself at the gate of the yamen strangely after just being the county magistrate for a year.

Wu Hanxue felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Zhu Qi, so he asked, "Master, do you know me?"

Zhu Qi shook his head: "I wish you Qi, go to Jianmu Mansion to deliver a letter."

"So you are going to Jianmu Mansion, son!" Wu Hanxue was overjoyed, and he kindly pulled Zhu Qi aside.

Xu Shi met someone who was in the same company, and the two of them were about the same age, Wu Hanxue also opened up the chatterbox.

"I set off from Qinghe County. I had just set off for two days. When I was walking at night, I accidentally fell and lost my clothes. Afterwards, I walked for a long time with dry food. I only came here when I found out that there was an abandoned inn here. I want to rest."

Zhu Qi asked: "Brother Wu, this inn is in good condition, and it is adjacent to the official road, and there are no villages for ten miles. It is a good place to do business. Do you know why no one runs it?"

Just a few days after crossing, Zhu Qi experienced corpse mountains in dead villages, quack warlocks, female ghosts in deserted temples, etc. Although he did not become a frightened bird, his own vigilance has increased a lot.

"Well, Xiaosheng has heard people say that something strange happened in this inn a few years ago. The staff, shopkeeper, and cashier all hanged themselves. It is said that more than two months have passed since the body was found, and the person has been dried into bacon. .”

Wu Hanxue rubbed his arms, as if he had imagined the terrifying scene of a row of human-shaped bacon hanging on the beams in the house.

"Since then, there have been people who want to run the inn, but no matter whether it is a new shopkeeper or a passing guest, they will all die. Over time, this place will be abandoned."

"Haunted!" Zhu Qi already guessed.

"You don't talk about strange powers and chaos." Wu Hanxue shook his head and said, "Ordinary people are afraid of those illusory stories, but Xiaosheng doesn't believe it. Besides... Xiaosheng is too shy to spend the night here, but there is nowhere to hide from this heavy rain."

Zhu Qi nodded. He had the same purpose as Wu Han, simply wanting to hide from the rain.

Now that he has stepped into the Eighth Realm of Martial Arts, the common cold and cold should be nothing, but after all, he can't be careless, and no one likes to become a drowned chicken.

Moreover, according to the results of the last simulator, there are some twists and turns in this trip, but there will be no fear of life. This is where Zhu Qi's confidence lies.

Stomach growls, it's time to eat.

While it was not raining, Zhu Qi went out of the inn, took a few stones and easily killed several hares looking for food.

Wuhan School believes in following the words of a sage, and a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and does not intend to help at all.

Zhu Qi didn't know any cooking skills, and there was no soy sauce or oyster sauce in the inn, so he just roasted it on the fire and ate it.

Warm meat is more nourishing than hard-to-eat dry food.

Zhu Qi sat in front of the fire and gnawed on a rabbit leg. Watching Wu Han learn how to gnaw dry food, he tore off a rabbit leg and handed it over.

"Thank you!" Wu Hanxue took the rabbit's leg and devoured it hungrily.

After traveling for many days, I could only eat dry food. Today I finally saw meat, and even a saint can't do it elegantly.

After eating, Zhu Qi carefully chose to sleep in the hall instead of the guest room upstairs.

He just needs a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

There were a few crackling thunders outside, and the electric light was like a chain, sticking out from the dark clouds, connecting the sky and the earth.

The faces of Zhu Qi and Wu Hanxue, who were shining with lightning, flooded with light.

Although Wu Hanxue said in his mouth, "You don't talk, you are strange and confused", but your body is very honest and chooses to follow Zhu Qi not far away.

A fire burned to keep the two warm.

It was not late at night, Wu Hanxue took out a book to review his homework, Zhu Qi also borrowed a book and read a few pages, and then he came to the conclusion that the imperial examination career is not suitable for him at all!

For Zhu Qi, going back to the ancient times, relying on advanced knowledge, becoming a high official, etc., is a dead end.

Torrential rain poured down.

Suddenly a figure floated in, the cold was overwhelming, Zhu Qi, who was drowsy, woke up suddenly.

That Wu Hanxue was sharper than Zhu Qi, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

I saw a woman wearing a mourning white robe, like mourning filial piety, slowly stopping in front of the two of them.

His complexion was ashen, and his tongue was sticking out, as long as his chest.

"Bless... wish... brother wish!"

Wu Hanxue stammered and leaned in front of Zhu Qi. Hell, no matter how courageous a person is, he can't hold on.

The hanged female ghost stared, floated in front of Zhu Qi and Wu Hanxue, untied the white cloth belt around her waist, and swung it over her head suddenly.

Zhu Qi then looked up and saw that the place where the hanged female ghost was standing was under the beam.

She stuck her head into the ring and hung there like she was swinging on a swing, but her eyes were still wide open, staring straight at the two of them without blinking.

"Brother Zhu, what should we do?" Wu Hanxue's whole body was stuck to Zhu Qi's body.

Zhu Qi didn't speak, but the female ghost tied another hanging rope and pointed to Zhu Qi, which seemed to say: It's your turn.

"Brother Zhu!" Wu Hanxue noticed that Zhu Qi stood up and wanted to stop him.

However, his strength was no match for Zhu Qi, so he could only let Zhu Qi stand up.

After standing up, Zhu Qi walked to the upper hanging rope and reached into the upper hanging rope loop.

The female ghost shook her head and said, "You are wrong."

She signaled that Zhu Qi should get his head into the circle.

But Zhu Qi said: "It is because of your mistakes that today is the result, and I am right."
