"Young Master, the road the coachman chose has a ghostly aura."
Inside the carriage, Daji rubbed Li Nianfan's shoulders and said, "He seems to be very conflicted and scared."
"Ghostly aura?"
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Is this old man trying to harm us? Can you deal with this ghostly aura? "
Daji said, "It's just a small ghost. Don't worry, Young Master. With me and Sister Huo Feng here, there are very few dangers that can threaten Young Master."
Li Nianfan smiled in relief and even felt a little curious. "Then it doesn't matter. I'll just take it as an adventure."
He didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed of living under the protection of his wife. He didn't know that living off a woman was good because he was too young.
Moreover, Li Nianfan was really good at living off a woman, both inside and outside...
"Da da da!"
The carriage continued to move. Other than the sound of the horses' hooves, there was no other sound. Soon, they arrived at a boundary marker with the words "Qingshan Village" engraved on it.
Where there was a village, there would be a town. The city was in the middle, and the village was built around the city. This was most of the structures in the mortal world, and it was also the style promoted by the Xia Dynasty. After all, humans were social animals. Especially in the cultivation world, there weren't many independent villages in the wilderness.
The carriage stopped in front of the boundary marker of Qingshan Village. The old man driving the carriage was a little absent-minded and hesitant. He said to the carriage, "Young hero, Qingshan Village is up ahead. Shall we go in?"
Li Nianfan said, "Let's continue."
"Okay."
The old man responded. The hesitation on his face lessened a lot. He seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief and passed the barrier in his heart.
You said you wanted to go in. You can't blame me if something happens.
The carriage began to move again and crossed the boundary marker.
Li Nianfan lifted the curtain and looked out. What he saw was a gurgling river with green grass and trees. The environment looked quite good.
In the direction they were traveling, they could already see rows of houses and many people. It didn't look like an unclean village.
The only thing that surprised Li Nianfan was that there were too many people gathered at the entrance of the village.
Most of them were women.
Most importantly, their faces could be considered beautiful.
All of them raised their heads in anticipation. If one didn't know better, they would have thought that they were collectively looking forward to their husband.
At the entrance of the village, there seemed to be people in charge of guarding it. However, they turned a blind eye to the passersby. It was unknown what the purpose of their existence was.
The old man's voice trembled. "Young … Young hero, we're here."
Li Nianfan got out of the car with Daji and casually said, "Thanks. How much is it?"
"Ah! So beautiful! "
The group of people at the entrance of the village suddenly screamed, especially the group of women. Previously, they looked worried and pitiful.
Now, they were so excited that they were dancing with joy. Their faces were flushed, and they stared at Daji without blinking. They seemed to be infatuated.
If this group of women were targeting Li Nianfan, Li Nianfan would definitely be very happy. However, now that they were targeting Daji, it seemed particularly strange.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but frown. He silently blocked little Daji. If there's anything, come at me.
"No, no need to give money!"
The old man still buried his head. This time, it was because he didn't dare to look at Li Nianfan.
He went to find the group of guards at the entrance of the village and received a bag of silver.
"Young hero, goodbye."
Without waiting for Li Nianfan to ask, he hurriedly drove the horse carriage away and left in a flash.
Li Nianfan could only take Daji to the guard's office. He asked curiously, "That old man just received a bag of money?"
The leader was a middle-aged man. He looked at the two of them with complicated eyes and nodded, "Yes, it's his reward for bringing you here."
If the women around them were excited when they saw Daji, the men around them looked at Daji with sympathy and regret.
Another man said, "Little brother, take your wife to our village to have a good meal. Eat as much as you want. It's free."
Li Nianfan frowned and felt a little inexplicable. But at this moment, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind — —
"I heard that if a beauty comes here, there will be a reward of ten taels of silver. You can also eat and drink for free. Is it true?"
When he turned around, he saw that the one who spoke was a woman wearing a light green chiffon dress. She had shoulder-length hair and a red dot on her forehead, which added a bit of charm.
Her clothes were extremely light. When the breeze blew, the chiffon dress flew up, revealing a pair of snow-white jade-like long legs. There was also a red ribbon tied around her slender waist.
Behind the woman, there was a young man. Because of the woman's words, he was rubbing his head.
While looking, the sister and brother had already walked to the guard. The woman raised her hand, "Give me the silver."
The guard was still a little confused. He handed over the bag of money in a daze, "Here."
The woman took the bag of money and weighed it. Only then did she accept it with satisfaction and let out a happy chuckle.
Li Nianfan said in surprise, "Giving a beauty money for free, there is such a good thing?"
This kind of discrimination was too much. There was also gender discrimination.
"Good thing? This is money to buy a life! "
The woman curled her lips. The ordinary Li Nianfan was obviously not as attractive as Daji. In an instant, the woman's eyes were fixed on him.
The corner of her mouth slightly curled up, and she said mysteriously, "I don't mind telling you. In Qingshan Village, every three days, the most beautiful woman in the village will die!"
Li Nianfan was slightly stunned, "The most beautiful woman to die?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Scared."
The woman shook her head and said with a smile, "The group of women just now felt that their beauty was not inferior to hers, so they were always worried that they would be the next to die. But when they saw this sister, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was someone in front of them to block it."
"So that's how it is."
Li Nianfan nodded. No wonder the group of women were so excited, but the men were regretful.
As long as there was a continuous stream of more beautiful women to block the disaster, then the original woman would not have to die. No wonder they were willing to give money.
In other words, he and Daji were inexplicably cheated by that old man? People's hearts were sinister.
But he heard the woman continue, "But now, it's good. I just happened to be here, so this sister's disaster will naturally be transferred to me."
The young man on the side suddenly said, "Sister, I don't think it's transferred."
"Bang!"
A big bump appeared on the young man's head in an instant, and his whole person was dizzy.
The woman withdrew her hand and said calmly, "I'm sorry, my brother always likes to talk nonsense. Please forgive him."
Was this nonsense?
This was clearly the truth!
Everyone looked at the woman's fist and thought about it, but still swallowed their words. Forget it, justice was in the hearts of people. It would not be nice to say it out loud.
"The two of you, let's have a meal together. It's my treat." The woman smiled and issued an invitation. She appeared very open, but in fact, she was eating together for free.
The four of them ate in a restaurant in the village.
The whole village guessed Daji's fate, so they were very polite and friendly, and served good wine and good food.
This was the agreement of the whole village, a kind of sympathy and guilt for a person who was about to die.
Through conversation, Li Nianfan found out that the siblings were called Qin Chuyue and Qin Yun, and also learned some things about Qingshan Village.
This was originally a very ordinary village, until a month ago, when a woman died and a ghost started to appear.
Qin Yun's expression was solemn as he said, "According to what we know, this dead woman was born extremely ugly, so she was always ostracized by everyone. It was even more impossible for a man to like her. She buried a lot of loneliness, pain, and resentment in her heart.
Finally, a month ago, she chose to commit suicide! According to the people who saw the corpse, the woman's death was very tragic. She used a knife to cut her face into an oval shape. At the same time, her eyes and nose were also cut and adjusted by her own knife. The scene was terrifying! "
Li Nianfan sighed deeply, "So she turned into a malicious spirit to take revenge?"
Qin Yun nodded, "Obviously so. Otherwise, she wouldn't have picked the beautiful ones."
Qin Chuyue smiled and said, "Tonight is when she comes out. Just now, I carefully compared her beauty with mine. It's really hard to tell who's better. To be on the safe side, it's better for you to follow me. I'll deal with this ghost!"
Li Nianfan and Daji looked at each other and said with a smile, "No problem."
Night fell, silent.
The people of Qingshan Village very generously arranged for them to stay in a spacious and luxurious courtyard.
Li Nianfan and the other three didn't sleep. They all sat in the hall with candles lit, waiting.
The only busy one was Qin Chuyue. She took the compass, took the bell, and pasted talismans on all sides. From the way she laid out the layout, she seemed to be quite professional. This kind of scene that could only be seen in ghost movies made Li Nianfan feel very novel.
He didn't seem to have seen this scene among the cultivators of the Untainted Land. Could it be that this pair of siblings came from the outside world?
The night gradually thickened.
"Whoosh —"
The wind blew.
The candlelight in the room began to sway with the wind. The light flickered, as if it would go out at any time.
The originally closed courtyard door suddenly trembled, followed by an ear-piercing "Creak!" It opened wide!
It was pitch black outside the door. There was nothing. The inexplicable wind suddenly blew, and the candlelight went out. The room fell into darkness, as if even the moonlight couldn't shine in.
"Being ugly is a sin!"
"I'll kill you."
"Your eyes are mine."
"Your nose is mine."
"Your entire face is mine!"
The extremely cold voice was like a chilly wind. It sounded all around, sending chills down one's spine.
Qin Chuyue raised her hand and made a hand seal.
Suddenly, there was a flash of fire. It was the talisman paper that was originally placed all around spontaneously combusting, dispelling the darkness.
At the same time, outside the courtyard door, a white shadow suddenly appeared there and slowly floated in.
"It's coming for me!"
Qin Chuyue's expression froze. She immediately ran over excitedly.
However, the white shadow didn't even look at her and floated straight past her.
Qin Chuyue blocked it again.
"Tell me quickly, am I the most beautiful woman in this village?"
The white shadow continued to go around her and said ruthlessly, "Obviously not."
