Crown Princess, she can catch ghosts

Chapter 46
As the Ghost Festival approaches, the town is especially lively.

The shops on the street are filled with all kinds of lanterns and kites, and there are also sellers of Kongming lanterns on the street. At a glance, the whole street is colorfully decorated and very lively.

There were also many merchants coming and going. They brought some goods that Dingshan Town did not have, and stood at the street corner to chat with the shop owner.

Diansu carried a bamboo basket, and wanted to buy some pastries and preserved fruits to visit the grave of the couple who brought her to Dingshan Town.

Hearing that Diansu was going to go to the street, the prince wanted to join in the fun, so he changed into azure clothes and followed her, followed by several guards from the palace.

Thinking that he hadn't been able to accompany him to appreciate the lanterns before, he agreed to come down.

However, just after leaving the gate of the mansion, Shizi's expression became strange.

Hundreds of ghosts return home in the ghost month, and they are assessed by the local officials on the Ghost Festival, so there are many ghosts in the town now, most of them are people who used to live here.

In the past, the sons of the world would just get sick for no reason and couldn't see any ghosts. Naturally, they didn't know that there were so many ghosts in the world.

Now that Diansu casts a spell, he can see ghosts. As soon as he goes out, he sees ghosts wandering all over the street, some of which have severed limbs or half heads, and immediately feel creepy.

Especially those ghosts are still approaching him, like very hungry wolves, with green lights in their eyes... This scene is really weird!
"what happened?"

Sensing Shi Zi's strangeness, Dian Su stopped and looked back at him.

Shizi's face was a little pale, "It's just that I suddenly saw these ghosts... I just didn't get used to it for a while."

Dian Su frowned: "How can the prince see ghosts?"

If she remembers correctly, apart from those born with yin and yang eyes, only people with four pillars of full yin can see ghosts because their yang energy is too weak. The son is only four pillars and three yin, and he is not in the ghost realm. How can he see ghosts?
The prince was slightly stunned, and asked back: "Didn't Miss Diansu cast a spell on me so that I can see it?"

Dian Su raised her hand, and found that there was indeed an imprint of the Improving Eyes Curse on the center of Shizi's eyebrows, but she couldn't remember it clearly.

"If the son is not used to it, then I will erase it for you, and naturally you will not see it."

But the prince said: "Miss Diansu, can you see it?"

Dian Su nodded.

Of course she could see it.

Shizi said, "Since that's the case, then there's no need to erase it."

He also wanted to be like her, to be able to see those ghosts clearly, instead of watching her talk to those ghosts like the last time he entered the ghost land, but he couldn't do anything.

Dian Su didn't say anything, but only instructed: "Just remember, my son, the ghosts in the mortal world are different from those in the ghost domain and Taozhi Mountain. Don't go to see them deliberately, otherwise they will entangle you."

The son was puzzled, "How can I tell them apart?"

Many ghosts still look normal, especially old ghosts, who can restore their appearance in life. If they admit their mistakes without realizing it for a while, wouldn't they cause trouble?

Dian Su then said: "These ghosts are different from people, and they can be easily distinguished. Most of them float, without legs, and without shadows. They look like a layer of phantom."

"Even a ghost that can transform into a human form has no shadow. The son can tell the difference just by looking at this point."

After hearing this, the prince nodded, and felt more relieved when he found that the ghosts did not dare to approach.

Dian Su said: "Then let's go, it's getting late, if we delay any longer, it will be late when we come back."

The prince nodded.

It's just that with such a large formation, they have already attracted the attention of many people before reaching the lively main street.

"Miss Diansu, who is this!" Someone who has a good relationship with Diansu came forward to ask.

Everyone knew the news that King Huai was going to Dingshan Town, so Dian Su didn't hide it, and introduced: "This is the son of Prince Huai."

When those who joined in the fun heard it, their curiosity turned into respect, and they stopped poking around, and stood on the side of the street to salute the prince.

Some even directly packed the food from their own shops and stuffed it to the guards behind Shizi, saying that they would take it back for Shizi and King Huai to taste.

After a while, the hands of several guards were full, and even the crown prince held a bag of fruit cakes.

It was the first time for Shizi to encounter such a thing, and he was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Fellow folks, don't be so polite!"

With that said, he ordered the guards to pay the money.

After hearing his words, everyone said in unison: "We don't charge money!"

"Prince Huai went to battle to kill the enemy, repelled the enemy army, defended his family and defended the country. He is a great hero of the Ye Kingdom. We have been protected by the prince, and we have been able to live in peace these years. It is right to honor the prince and the son!"

"If it wasn't for King Huai's order not to be disturbed, there is no need for the prince to go out in person. Just give me an order, and we will send it to the mansion by ourselves!"

Hearing this, the prince finally understood what was going on.

After thanking them one by one, told them not to send any more things, and then ordered half of the guards to take the things back first.

Seeing the son thanking him all the way, his mouth was dry, Diansu begged a bowl of tea from the teahouse for him, and said with a smile: "The son threw fruit carts in the capital, but when he arrived in Dingshan Town, all he received were dim sum fruits."

It's not that the people don't want to give other things, it's just that during the period of the Hungry Ghost Festival, every family worships their ancestors, and they will come to buy snacks, preserved fruits and fresh melons and fruits.

Naturally, there are many of these in their shops, and the only ones for the son are snacks and fruits.

The crown prince took the tea bowl and drank it down. After listening to Su's joke, he said shyly, "I didn't intend to get married before. When I was in the capital, I didn't go out on the Dragon Boat Festival, and I didn't receive any melon and fruit sachets."

"Now it's just because of the favor of my father, so I got gifts from the people, but it has nothing to do with me."

Dian Su handed the tea bowl back to the doctor in the tea shed, and said: "Dingshan Town is not far from the border. Back then, a small group of enemy troops fled here. It was King Huai who led people to pay them to save the people here from suffering. , the people will love King Huai and respect the son."

With Shizi's previous explanation, when they saw them, everyone just greeted them and stopped giving anything, but they also looked respectful and looked enthusiastically.

Diansu picked out some preserved snacks from the dim sum shop, and then went to Liu Cai's shop to buy some sacrificial objects.

Perhaps because of the festival, Liu Cai also placed many brightly colored wreaths at the door, as well as various sacrificial objects, and even replaced the lanterns at the door of the shop with new ones.

This is the only one in the town to do this business, many people will come here to buy a few things, people come and go, it seems that it is not as deserted as it used to be.

"Uncle Liu."

I lighted a soda and said hello, and walked into the shop, "Get me some origami ingots and paper money for joss sticks."

Liu Cai heard the voice and greeted him, "It turns out that Miss Diansu is here, and she will be ready soon."

Soon, the things that Diansu asked for were packed.

Liu Cai did not accept money.

"Speaking of which, I really want to thank Ms. Su. A few days ago, when I went to chop firewood in the bamboo forest, I wore a few safety symbols. A few vines blocked it, it was really dangerous. Looking at it again, those amulets were all turned into ashes, and I thought they had warded off the disaster for me. Thanks to the girl reminding me, otherwise I don’t know what happened now!"

Seeing that the blackness between his brows had dissipated, Dian Su knew that it was all right, and still handed over the copper coins, "Money still needs to be given, business is not a good thing."

Hearing what she said, Liu Cai couldn't refuse anymore, so he simply gave her some paper money, joss sticks, and a small bag of lime, but he never asked about the identity of the prince.
