Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 155 Xu Xian
The sky is gloomy, always gray, half a step closer to the afterlife, where the sun will never be seen.

There are people coming and going on the streets, "people" wearing various costumes, let's count them as people, crowded together, just like the world.

A young scholar in his twenties, wearing white washed old clothes and looking a bit weak, was inquiring about this land in vain.

"Excuse me, brother, have you ever seen a girl in white?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand again and gestured in the air.

"About, so tall, um, very beautiful."

What responded to him was a pale face without a trace of blood.

"Um, sorry to bother you..."

The scholar shyly let go of the hand on Fang's shoulder.

The stopped male ghost turned around expressionlessly, and continued to walk slowly, with his feet off the ground and the toes of his shoes drooping, about two fingers high.

The scholar lowered his head in frustration, then his eyes widened, fixedly staring at the toes of the walker in front of him.

Then, he covered his mouth again and cut off the cry still in his throat.

He yelled frantically in his heart.

"Ghost, ghost, ghost!"

Finally, I remembered that something was wrong with Lai. At least half of the people here have no footsteps.

The scholar, who tried to be calm, suddenly had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead and back, and his whole body became tense, and he even forgot about the girl in white whom he had been obsessed with looking for.

After this awakening, all kinds of abnormalities that were ignored before were all recalled at this time.

Along the way, there are boatmen who don’t talk to each other at all, dull passengers, ghosts wearing shrouds floating everywhere, and lanterns with pale lights hanging everywhere in broad daylight...

"This...is the legendary ghost market?"

Thinking about some far-fetched things, the scholar pretended not to notice when he was nervous, hiding his fear, looking left and right, hoping to find the ferry that followed the fairy-like girl in white when he came.

He saw a beautiful girl in white clothes, but for some reason, he followed her all the way in a daze, and came to this strange place, regretting secretly in his heart.

At the same time, a thought could not help but arise in the scholar's heart.

"That girl is also a female ghost, right?"

Suddenly, the scholar felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and put a hand on it.

In an instant, the hairs exploded, and the whole body was trembling.

"Ah ah ah ah ah----"

The string in the scholar's mind, which had reached its extreme fear, snapped with a "crack".

After ten breaths, the scholar finally stopped screaming, dizzy, panting heavily, and looked overly frightened.

"Hanwen, what's wrong with you?"

It was Zhou Xun who came. He had just settled the matter with Gu Yue and was about to check out and go downstairs when he saw Xu Xian wandering around downstairs from the window, so he came over to say hello.

Unexpectedly, there was a burst of screams when they met, and the screams of men were not pleasant.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Xian finally regained some sanity, raised his head, and looked at it for a while.

"You are... Mingcheng? Why are you here?"

Then he spoke hastily.

"Mingcheng, no matter how you got here, leave quickly, this place is evil, there are ghosts everywhere, and there are not many living people!"

Then, he pulled up Zhou Xun's sleeves to avoid the figures floating around on the street.

Arriving at a small alley, there are walls on both sides, and the surface of the bricks and stones is covered with moss, and there are few people passing by.

Arriving at this secluded place, Xu Xian suddenly became paralyzed and sat down leaning against the wall.His originally combed bun was messed up, a few strands of hair were wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead messily, his clothes were soaked in sweat, he looked like a drowned chicken that had just accidentally fallen into the water and was picked up by someone .

Zhou Xun's sleeve was held tightly by Xu Xian, and he didn't open it after struggling a few times, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Hanwen, can you let go of my sleeve? It's about to be torn by you!"

Xu Xian, who had just recovered from his shock, noticed that he had been tugging on his classmate's sleeve just now, and let go in a panic.

"I'm sorry, Mingcheng, I lost my composure just now. However, this place is really evil!"

Zhou Xun smoothly smoothed the folds of his sleeves, looked at the few sweat stains on it with distress, and quietly used a little magic to attract invisible water vapor to wash away the sweat stains.

"This is a transit place between the Yin and Yang realms. Of course, there will be ghosts, so there's nothing unusual about it."

"I saw you stopping ghosts everywhere to ask for news, and thought you knew, why are you so timid."

Zhou Xun replied casually.

Then, I was delighted to see that the sleeves were clean again.

After a while, Xu Xian regained some strength and said dejectedly when he heard this.

"Don't mention it, most of the Bai girls I know are also female ghosts."

Then, without waiting for Zhou Xun to ask again, he told the cause and effect in one go.

After Zhou Xun listened carefully, he was thoughtful.

"You mean, when you were crossing the river, it suddenly rained, and you met a girl surnamed Bai, who kindly lent you an umbrella, and then agreed to return the umbrella, and you also knew the girl's address."

"Afterwards, when you went to return the umbrella, when you asked for directions, no one around knew about the White Mansion. After finally reaching the place, there were only two sisters and five old servants in a lonely mansion?"

"You were doubtful, and you met a monk named Fahai pointing you out, so you followed that white girl all the way here..."

Xu Xian nodded repeatedly.

"Mingcheng, you're still so smart. No wonder you can win the prize. Unlike me, you can't even get into an academy. Alas, my sister said that next month I won't be able to get into any academy, so she will send me to Baohetang Apprentice."

Then came another sigh.

Zhou Xun and Xu Xian got acquainted six years ago. Zhou Xun had just gone to Luming Academy for further studies. At that time, Xu Xian was preparing to pass the entrance examination for a scholar and needed a few students to be guarantors. Zhou Xun introduced him to him. A poetry meeting.

Flash is six years.

"In Chinese, there is a saying that is not for a good look, but for a good doctor. If it is true that you can't pass the imperial examination, you can't be an official, and being a Xinglin national player is not the same as being respected by others. Your sister is right, she is also for your own good, don't you Blame her for talking too much."

Xu Xian's sister Xu Jiaorong, whom Zhou Xun has met a few times, is the Xiaojiabiyu type.

The eldest sister is like a mother, and Xu Xian lost his parents since he was a child, so he relied on Xu Jiaorong's hard work to earn money to support the family, and brought up this younger brother.

"I know, my sister is worrying about my marriage! This time, when I heard about Miss Bai, she kept urging me to come to the door, and it turned out..."

When it comes to sadness, my eyes are red, I don't know why.
