Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 33 Ghost Bride

West of the city, Liu family.

Zhou Ping frowned as he looked at the situation at the Liu family.

Evil nature, it is really evil nature.

There was a coffin in the Liu family's yard, but the dead person in the coffin was wearing a wedding dress.

The decoration in the yard is not white cloth, but bright red cloth.

Normally, death should be a funeral, but now the courtyard is treating it as a wedding.

The old woman of the Liu family cried with her two sons.

This is the escort agency’s new mission.

The right side of the split-screen panel.

There are two red dots, one at Liu's house and the other at the cemetery.

[Mission reward, six months of lifespan]

Zhou Ping, Chen Erdan and several other rookie bodyguards were responsible for carrying the coffin to the cemetery.

This kind of coffin-carrying task should be done by relatives and friends, but no one is willing to do it, so the escort agency is asked to do it.

The salary for this mission is five hundred coins!

"Brother Erdan, what's going on? How did a funeral become a wedding?"

The rookie escorts had never seen such a scene and were a little scared.

"What are you afraid of? Your brother Zhou Ping and I have both received Buddhist initiations. Just carry the coffin and leave the rest to us."

Chen Erdan said angrily.

On the way here, Chen Erdan told Zhou Ping what had happened.

The person who died in the Liu family was called Liu Zhao, and he was a carpenter.

Liu Zhao married a bride when he was young, but she was not the current Liu family woman.

When Liu Zhao got married, he was seen by Mr. He.

The bride has a good figure and an even better face.

Mr. He developed lustful thoughts.

Mr. He offered Liu Zhao twenty taels for his bride's virginity.

Liu Zhao agreed.

On the wedding night, the bride discovered that her husband had been replaced by someone else. She was so terrified that in order to maintain her innocence, she hit her head against the wall and died.

The bride died after hitting her head against the wall, but Liu Zhao did not carry her to the Liu family's ancestral tomb.

The bride's family also didn't want her body.

In the end, Liu Zhao dumped his bride in a mass grave.

More than ten years have passed, and the bride's resentment has not dissipated. She turned into a ghost and came back to seek revenge.

Liu Zhao was frightened to death.

After Liu Zhao's death, this matter also alarmed Mr. He.

Mr. He invited a monk from Jinhua Temple, who suggested a "ghost marriage".

Burying Liu Zhao and the ghost bride's corpse together might help eliminate the ghost bride's resentment.

Otherwise, the ghost bride would be too resentful and would definitely cause trouble for Mr. He.

There was still an old woman and two sons left in the Liu family. They were also afraid that the ghost bride would cause trouble, so they accepted this suggestion.

Bury them both together!
So the Liu family was clearly having a funeral, but it felt like a wedding.

This matter was too evil, so relatives and friends were unwilling to help, so the Liu family had to turn to the escort agency.

In the past, Chen Erdan would definitely not be willing to take on such a task.

But in order to save his brother, Chen Erdan borrowed ten taels of silver from Zhou Ping and Dao Ba each.

Brothers, settle accounts.

Although Zhou Ping and Dao Ba did not ask Chen Erdan to pay back the money.

But Chen Erdan was anxious to pay back the money.

As for Zhou Ping, he was willing to take on this task.

Money doesn’t matter; life span is what matters.

This mission only took an hour.

The Liu family is very close to the Liu family’s ancestral tomb and can be reached in less than an hour.

It is really a good deal to gain six months of life in one hour.

Moreover, the journey is all within Qinghe County, so even the graves are not so remote and no one will come to rob them.

The only bad thing about this is that there are ghosts.

But Zhou Ping is not afraid of ghosts.

Compared to humans, Zhou Ping thinks ghosts are simpler.

Let’s not talk about the red silk robes and Buddhist beads for now.

Zhou Ping has drawn hundreds of yellow talismans to ward off evil spirits these days. These talismans are placed in his clothes.

All fear comes from lack of firepower!
Zhou Ping has plenty of ways to deal with ghosts.

"Brother Erdan, I heard there is a female ghost involved in this matter."

The rookie escorts were still very scared.

"What's there to be afraid of? We just need to get the coffin here, and run away if we see a female ghost."

Chen Erdan said in a low voice.

The mission of the escort agency is to transport the coffin, not to exorcise ghosts.

"Brother Erdan is right. If we see a female ghost, we just run away."

"Yes, yes, we are not going to exorcise ghosts."

The eyes of several rookie escorts lit up.

If you can't win, won't you just run away? After all, this is five hundred coins!

The rookie escorts were hoping for the best.

Chen Erdan boasted to the rookies about how he dealt with evil spirits and displayed his Buddha's light, which made the rookie bodyguards less afraid.

In fact, Chen Erdan was also afraid.

But just as Chen Erdan himself said, just run away when the time comes.

"Zhou Ping, what do you think about the female ghost?"

Chen Erdan asked in a low voice. Scar had already gone out with Yan Yi, so he didn't come with them.

Zhou Ping is Chen Erdan’s confidence.

"Thank you for the gifts of nature."

"what?"

Qinghe County, midnight.

Several rookie escorts carried the coffin, and Zhou Ping and Chen Erdan threw paper money as they walked.

The old woman from the Liu family followed the team trembling with fear.

In addition to a few people, there was also a monk following the team.

"Erdan, what does this monk do?"

Zhou Ping asked.

"His name is Jie Kong, and he is the abbot of Jinhua Temple. He was the one who killed the rapist who almost insulted the third lady last time. He was invited by the He family."

Chen Erdan is indeed well-informed and knows everything.

The matter of the ghost bride involved Mr. He, who was very scared, so he quickly found a wizard from Jinhua Temple to exorcise the ghost.

Zhou Ping said "Oh" and continued to scatter paper money.

Zhou Ping was well aware of the dirty deeds of praying for a child at Jinhua Temple, so he also knew about Jiekong's murder to silence the witnesses.

Zhou Ping didn't have a good impression of Monk Jiekong.

After a while, the escort team pulled the coffin to the Liu family's ancestral tomb.

There was already a coffin in the Liu family’s ancestral tomb, but there were no bones inside, only clothes.

The ghost bride's body was found in a mass grave and could not be found long ago.

There is also a tombstone on the grave, with the names of Liu Zhao and the Ghost Bride written on it.

This is the specification for burying a couple together.

When the wife of the Liu family saw the tombstone, she burst into tears. How could she not be sad that her husband was buried with someone else?

"This ghost bride is really too kind. Why didn't she kill the whole family?"

Chen Erdan muttered softly.

The reason why Liu Zhao was able to marry again was thanks to Mr. He's twenty taels of silver.

The ghost bride only scared Liu Zhao to death, while his two sons were unharmed.

Not only Chen Erdan, but several rookie escorts also felt so.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of the coffin quickly."

Zhou Ping frowned and said, he felt something was wrong.

Zhou Ping's perception range had spread out and he found nothing abnormal, but he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"Amitabha, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, donor, you have taken revenge, let go."

Monk Jiekong was speaking as he was trying to save the ghost bride.

Several rookie escorts placed Liu Zhao's coffin in the tomb and erected a tombstone.

Suddenly, Zhou Ping's eyes changed, and the dark night suddenly turned into a bright red boudoir.

"Is this an illusion?" Zhou Ping's heart tightened.

In Zhou Ping's eyes, this was a woman's boudoir.

The boudoir was filled with red silk and red candles, all bright red.

On the red bed, a woman wearing a wedding dress and a red veil was sitting on the bed.

The woman had a very thin waist but full hips. Although the clothes she wore were a bit loose, her chest still had an exaggerated curve.

The moment Zhou Ping saw the woman, a warm current suddenly surged from his lower abdomen and his whole body became hot.

Zhou Ping had the urge to rush up and hug the woman.

Zhou Ping slowly closed his eyes.

"My husband, don't close your eyes, look at me."

Zhou Ping heard a panting sound, which made his heart feel hot.

In the cemetery, the old woman from the Liu family had fainted from fright.

There was a look of struggle on Chen Erdan's face, and golden light appeared on his body from time to time.

The faces of several rookie escorts were filled with joy and desire, and they were kissing the air in the cemetery.

After a while, several skulls flew out of the cemetery.

Several rookie escorts hugged the skull and kissed it.

As for Monk Jiekong, golden light appeared in his eyes and he was not affected at all.

Monk Jiekong was not affected by the illusion, and Zhou Ping was also unaffected.

Zhou Ping almost fainted. The ghost bride had an extremely beautiful figure and he could hardly control himself.

The reason why Zhou Ping was able to hold himself back was because of his perception range.

Because of his perception range, Zhou Ping has two perspectives.

One perspective relies on the eyes, the other relies on perception.

There were no beauties within the perception range, only a cemetery.

"Ghost Bride, it seems that you are still stubborn and refuse to change your ways. Don't blame me for sending you to the Western Paradise."

Monk Jiekong roared, and then Buddha's light burst out from his body.

In the cemetery, a ghost bride dressed in bright red and wearing a veil was floating in the air.

Zhou Ping's mouth twitched slightly.

At this time, the ghost bride no longer had the seduction in the boudoir, but was more terrifying and evil.

"I don't know if the woman under the veil is a beautiful woman or a woman with a slit mouth."

Zhou Ping closed his eyes and thought about random things. His ears were filled with the words "Sir, open your eyes and look at my body."

In Zhou Ping's perception, Chen Erdan also fell, but he did not hug the skull and kiss it, but hugged the old woman of the Liu family and kissed her.

Zhou Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had wanted to help Chen Erdan, but seeing that Chen Erdan was not in danger, he decided not to expose himself.

In the cemetery, the ghost bride and the abbot of Jinhua Temple, Monk Jiekong, had already started fighting.

There was a man and a ghost, golden light and black light alternated, and the cemetery was suddenly in a mess.

"what!"

Monk Jiekong screamed, a column of blood gushed out of his body, and then he fell to the ground.

"Tell the He family that I will seek revenge. Let the old thief He and others have a good death."

The ghost bride's voice disappeared.

"This is too fast."

Zhou Ping thought to himself that this monk was no good as he surrendered in less than a cup of tea.

However, Zhou Ping did not expect that after defeating Monk Jiekong, the ghost bride did not kill anyone, but left.

Zhou Ping had encountered ghosts several times, but the ghosts he met were not very intelligent and were very ferocious, the kind that would kill people at the slightest disagreement.

But the ghost bride feels like a living person.

"This ghost bride is just like what Erdan said, kindhearted."

As the ghost bride left, the illusions on everyone were also lifted.

"Oh my god, what is this?"

"Ah, the head, where is the beauty from before?"

A few rookie escorts came to their senses and saw the heads in their hands.

The rookie escorts were terrified.

Not only the rookie escort, but also Chen Erdan woke up.

When Chen Erdan woke up, he was startled at first, but immediately pretended to be calm and called the rookie escorts to leave.

The mission is accomplished, the money is in hand, there is no need to stay here.

"Brother, help me, I'm injured and can't walk, just take me to the He family."

Monk Jiekong looked dejected and his eyes were dim.

"Master, please go on your own. This matter is too evil. We dare not touch it again."

Chen Erdan and the rookies were ready to leave. Although there were no casualties in the cemetery incident, it was indeed evil.

The rookies suffered a big blow.

"Erdan, you guys go first, I'll see the master off."

Zhou Ping looked at the panel in front of him.

[Task reward, ten days of life.]

Monk Jiekong’s words triggered his own panel.

Although the mission reward is only for ten days, a fly's legs are still meat no matter how thin they are.

"The donor is a good man."

Monk Jiekong's face was full of gratitude.

Zhou Ping supported Monk Jiekong, and the two left the cemetery and arrived at the He family about an hour later.

Although it was late at night, Mr. He had not yet gone to bed.

The ghost bride is like a sword hanging over your head, and you never know when it will fall.

Zhou Ping helped Monk Jiekong to the He family's yard.

Mr. He didn’t sleep, He Yunqing didn’t sleep, and He Yunlu didn’t sleep either.

He Yunqing was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Ping.

"Master Jiekong, how is the situation?"

Master He took Master Jiekong from Zhou Ping.

"That female ghost is extraordinary. She is not just a lonely ghost, but has a legacy. She has become something powerful."

Monk Jiekong sighed.

Mr. He's expression suddenly changed.

Zhou Ping let go and left.

But when he was leaving, Zhou Ping vaguely heard a sentence.

"Master He, I have a plan. Although this ghost has become powerful, she is not an evil ghost."

"Good people are often bullied, and good ghosts are often ridiculed."

“We might be able to.”

Zhou Ping left He's house.

"Zhou Ping, wait a moment."

He Yunqing jogged to catch up with Zhou Ping.

"Hello, Miss He."

Zhou Ping Business Smile.

"It was all thanks to you last time. If it weren't for you, Yan Yi would definitely not be able to protect me by herself."

He Yunqing took out one hundred taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Ping.

"I didn't do this to save you. I mainly wanted to catch the murderer and help my brother Erdan."

Zhou Ping thought about it and took the money. He did help He Yunqing, but it was unintentional.

But since you want to give me money, I won't hesitate.

This is one hundred taels of silver.

He Yunqing was relieved when she saw Zhou Ping accept the money. She didn't like the feeling of owing favors to others.

"By the way, if you are free sometime, I would like to treat you to a meal and thank you again."

"My mother said that if you are grateful for saving my life, she must invite you to her home for a meal."

He Yunqing said again. Business courtesies are still necessary.

Liu Ruyan told He Yunqing that she would treat Zhou Ping to dinner.

Liu Ruyan said that Zhou Ping was the son of an old friend and that he had saved He Yunqing's life.

Besides, Xiaobai often comes to visit, so it is normal for the two families to visit each other.

But He Yunqing was somewhat reluctant.

What kind of thing is it that a parent is eager to meet a man who is the same age as her daughter? It would be embarrassing if the news got out.

He Yunqing was just being polite to Zhou Ping.

"Eat, that's fine, today is worse than tomorrow."

"Ah! Tomorrow. That's fine too."
