Self Help Strategies For A Femme Fatale - Chapter 100

Under the pavilion outside the listening snow park.

Liuyin and Xiaotao had a heated discussion.

“Are you a ghost? How can you be less and less ghostly?”

Xiaotao scrutinized Liuyin up and down in doubt, wondering if they were a species. There are so many weird things these days that ghosts can become humans?

“It’s not a ghost, haven’t you heard of me?”

Liu Yin asked curiously.

Xiao Tao took a bit of the joss stick Liu Yin brought her, and said thoughtfully: “There have been situations where you can be transformed into an entity like you. A hundred years ago, there was a very powerful ghost king with high mana, and he could condense into a human body.”

“Ghost King?”

“This is what we called him privately. During the time he was there, it was simply a paradise for our ghosts. It was worshipped every day, and there were countless joss sticks to eat.”

Xiaotao talked about that period of time, her eyes showed infinite yearning.

Liuyin asked curiously, “Where is the ghost king now?”

Speaking of this, Xiaotao looked angrily: “It’s not that those people are scared, and invited one monk after another to catch ghosts. Wherever these people are the opponents of the ghost king, all of them fled. Later, the Jiang family did not know how to follow. Where can I find a Taoist priest, that Taoist priest has some ability, and took a broken stone to suppress the ghost king. This group of dragons has no leader, and our good days will come to an end.”

The amount of information is huge.

Liuyin thought for a while and asked, “What broken stone? If your ghost king is really as powerful as you said, a broken stone can suppress him?”

Xiaotao admires the ghost king very much. When she first became a ghost, the ghost king was enjoying the scenery. At that time, all the ghosts in Jiangcheng were in awe of the ghost king. She also regarded him as a sacred character, which can be said to be an idol. Now that Liuyin questioned the tone of the ghost king, Xiaotao immediately became anxious.

“What’s the matter with you little ghost! Our ghost king is of course very powerful, but the Taoist priest buried the stone under the century-old plum tree and made some formations. That is where the ghost king lives. This is tantamount to being caught in the dead, do you understand!”

“I don’t understand.” Liu Yin smiled and pulled over the basket, “I only know that you can make a noise to me, so I have to give this basket of incense candles to other ghosts.”

Xiao Tao’s eyes moved with her hand.

Seeing that she was about to take it away, Xiao Tao quickly protected the basket

“Don’t. Come on, I’ll tell you more.”

Xiao Tao greeted Liu Yin and sat down.

Slander in the heart.

How did that personable Gu Gongzi fall in love with such a grumpy little girl?

You know, because Young Master Gu wants to marry this little girl ghost, many girl ghosts are heartbroken.

I can hear them crying and howling every night.

Liu Yin listened to Xiao Tao one by one with great interest, and Quan should have listened to the story.

It turns out that this Jiangcheng was called Jiangcheng because there was a big family surnamed Jiang here a hundred years ago.

This legendary ghost king was the default next Patriarch of this clan before his death.

Later, when I went out, I met bandits and died.

The Jiang family inherited the family business by his younger brother.

On the surface, she said so, but Xiaotao told her some inside information.

This ghost knows a lot about these unknown Xin Mi. The short stories of the east and the west are all their chatter.

So this Jiang family is naturally clear to them.

It turned out that the son of the Jiang family was not killed by bandits, but killed by his brother himself.

The sharp sword pierced into his chest and stabbed him to death.

After the Jiang family died completely, he was buried under the old plum tree by his brother.

That plum tree has grown for a hundred years and has spirituality.

The young man of the Jiang family was buried under the tree, nourished the plum tree with his flesh and blood, and gained the aura of the plum tree, which became the climate.

Mana advanced by leaps and bounds and became the ghost king of this Jiangcheng.

When Xiao Tao talked about this, she was all regretful. Although she had never seen the demeanor of a ghost king, she had admired it for a long time.

Liuyin also listened obsessively, with a strange feeling in his heart.

When Gu Lanqing came out to find her, she didn’t think about it.

The wind at night is still cool.

Gu Lanqing put a dress on Liu Yin and dragged her to walk in the moonlight.

As soon as Liu Yin saw Gu Lanqing, he had no bones and had to lean on.

Little Tao didn’t even look at it, and lifted her joss stick and floated away.

Because he was so close, Liuyin smelled the familiar fragrance and a faint smell of smoke from him.

Shaking his nose, Liu Yin asked him, “Why does it smell like smoke?”

Gu Lanqing replied, “I burned something.”

Liuyin is not a person who asks the bottom line, so he just asks casually.

Gu Lanqing smiled at her: “I will go out tomorrow and wait for my return at home.”

“What to do?”

“When I come back, you will know.”

Liu Yin was curious, but Gu Lanqing laughed and said nothing.

The light not far away was dimly lit, and Gu Lanqing’s eyes were soft when she saw her.

At night Liu Yin quietly squeezed into Gu Lanqing’s quilt.

Wenxiang Nephrite came over at once, and Gu Lanqing hugged her, lowered her head and rubbed the tip of her nose lightly: “Why aren’t you sleeping?”

Liuyin’s face was not red and heartbeat, and said without shame: “Can’t sleep, I want to hold you to sleep.”

Gu Lanqing said in a dark voice, “Is this a surrender?”

Before Liu Yin could answer, his warm and soft lips pressed against him.

Within a moment, a charming and fragrant voice rang from the tent.

When Liu Yin woke up the next day, Gu Lanqing was no longer there.

Of course, this has something to do with Liu Yin’s wake up late.

Without Gu Lanqing by his side, it always felt like something was missing.

Not long after Liu Yin realized that he had just left her sight, she began to miss him a little.

Just as Liuyin was thinking about what Gu Lanqing would do, a little girl stood at the door and said to her: “Aunty, girl, son, please go outside the courtyard.”

The little girl lowered her head, her body was still shaking slightly, and her speech was a little stuttered.

Liuyin couldn’t help thinking, is she so scary?

This little girl was so afraid of her.

Liu Yin got up and walked out. “Why doesn’t he come in?”

“The son said that I would like to ask you to go see something.” The little girl dared not look at Liu Yin, bowed her head and pinched her hands tightly.

Liuyin touched his face and asked her, “Am I so scary?”

Liuyin thinks that her tone is absolutely gentle.

But when she asked, the little girl’s face pale in fright, and she knelt on the ground with a plop.

Come on, she don’t ask.

Liuyin walked helplessly.

As soon as I went down, I found something unusual.

This sounds like the snow park is empty.

No one is seen.

Strangely quiet.

Liu Yin was a little flustered.

Step by step out of Tingxue Park.

When she had just stepped out of the yard, the yard door behind her closed with a bang.

…

A blind old Taoist appeared in front of her, wearing a shabby Taoist uniform with a mahogany sword hanging from her waist.

Liuyin took a step back subconsciously.

Although the old Dao was blind, he seemed to be able to see her, and his eyes without focus were staring straight at her.

The old man tilted his head and seemed to distinguish something.

Immediately afterwards, frowned and shouted: “Monster!”

Liu Yin was taken aback by his sound.

The Taoist took out a piece of talisman and threw it straight towards Liuyin. Liu Yin didn’t have much mana at first, and he couldn’t hide it. He watched the talisman paper stick to her body, and instantly he couldn’t move.

Huang Zhilan watched nervously from a distance.

The woman is indeed a monster.

She must have confused Lan Qing.

Otherwise, Gu Lanqing would not marry her either.

I only hope that the Taoist master can conquer this evildoer.

Huang Zhilan watched that old Dao pick up the peach wood sword, and her heart touched her throat.

“Why are you here?” Gu Lanqing’s voice came from behind, and Huang Zhilan was startled, she was about to walk over when she saw him.

If he sees it, there will be more disturbances.

Huang Zhilan anxiously stood in front of Gu Lanqing.

Gu Lanqing frowned: “Get out of the way.”

“Lan Qing, listen to me, that woman is a wicked evildoer, and you are deceived by that evildoer, now the Dao Chief is conquering the evildoer, you can’t go past!” Huang Zhilan took his arm and explained eagerly.

“Conquer the evildoer?” Gu Lanqing’s face changed drastically, and he pushed away Huang Zhilan who was in front of him.

Huang Zhilan shouted from behind: “Gu Lanqing, you believe me, she is really a monster, you can’t go there!”

When Gu Lanqing ran over, he happened to see the mahogany sword sticking straight into Liu Yin’s heart.

His footsteps paused, and a huge panic rose in his heart.

When the mahogany sword pierced her chest, Liuyin was numb with pain.

Hearing the messy footsteps, Liu Yin wanted to smile at Gu Lan, but as soon as he pulled the corner of his mouth, he spit out blood.

Liu Yin thought she must be ugly now.

Lao Dao pulled the peach wood sword from Liu Yin’s body, and the bright red blood splashed on Gu Lanqing’s face, and even his white clothes were stained with her blood.

Gu Lanqing caught Liu Yin’s fallen body and hugged her tightly.

He opened his mouth, but couldn’t speak, he just hugged her tighter harder, as if only hugging her tightly, she would not disappear from his side, and the panic in his heart could be temporarily calmed down.

Shaking hands covered her chest wound, but the hot blood continued to gush out, staining his hands red and still did not stop.

Liu Yin looked at him with a soft voice: “Why did you come back?”

With red eyes, Gu Lanqing took out the brocade box that had been held in her hand for a long time.

Take out a plum-shaped red jade hairpin from inside.

Liuyin touched the hairpin: “It’s so beautiful, is it for me?”

Gu Lanqing couldn’t speak, so he nodded and put the hairpin on her hair.

Liu Yin was soft on his body, and he held his hand to wipe the blood on his face: “You wipe it for me, I want to be clean.”

Gu Lanqing carefully wiped the blood from her face, but the corners of her mouth kept flowing out of scarlet blood, which couldn’t be wiped clean.

He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers.

Liuyin stroked his eyebrows, and they were still as clear and handsome, but without the smile they used to wear. His brows were frowned tightly, his eyes flushed, and even Liuyin felt distressed by his painful look.

She didn’t want to see him in such pain.

Liuyin knew that this body would not work anymore.

The old way said she was a demon, and Liu Yin didn’t know whether she was a ghost or a demon, but no matter what it was, she could no longer accompany him.

Thinking of Gu Lanqing’s goodness to her on weekdays, Liu Yin looked at him with nostalgia, and said in a low voice: “Why don’t you change your lady.”

Gu Lanqing hugged her tighter, and the blood constantly pouring from Liuyin’s body soaked his clothes. His heart hurts because of the heat, and he thought he was a relapse of an old illness.

“If you are not there, I will naturally marry a gentle and beautiful lady, and forget you completely, only if you have never appeared before.”

Gu Lanqing pressed these cruel words to her ear, Liu Yin couldn’t see his expression, only the blue veins appeared on the back of his tightly clasped hand.

There seemed to be something dripping on her neck and scalded her skin.

Liu Yin stiffened, she wanted to take another look at Gu Lanqing’s appearance, but she didn’t have the energy to move anymore.

There was a sharp pain in his heart, and Liu Yin’s body gradually became transparent.

Only a sound of broken jade was heard, and the jade pendant that Gu Lanqing hung on his waist suddenly broke into several pieces and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

At the same time, the body of the person in his arms completely disappeared.

Gu Lanqing roared loudly, a gaffe he had never done before.

But in this vast world, there is no trace of her.

He actually has a lot to say to her, many things he wants to do with her, and many places he wants to go with her.

Their wedding is almost ready, but now she is missing the bride.

He said that he would marry someone else and would forget her. He was lying to her.

She is so jealous, how can she put him at ease.

Gu Lanqing hung his arms weakly, her fingers trembling lightly.

Those clear eyes became deep, full of nostalgia, sadness, and pain. Many emotions were intertwined, and only people could feel the unbearable bitterness and depression.

“Lan Qing, that’s just a wicked evildoer, she confuses you with the magic trick, you…”

Huang Zhilan’s words suddenly stopped. Seeing that look in Gu Lanqing’s eyes, she instantly lost all of her words.

There was hatred in those eyes.

He hates her.

Huang Zhilan froze in place.

Lao Daokou read the formula, drew a spell in the void, and hit Gu Lanqing with a wave of his hand.

In an instant, Gu Lanqing fainted.

“Daoist?” Huang Zhilan nervously lifted Gu Lanqing from the ground.

“The son is deceived by the monster, and his body is very cold. This pill, if you take it, he will forget the monster after he is sober.”

Huang Zhilan is extremely grateful: “Thank you, Taoist.”

After taking the pill, Gu Lanqing took it.

…

Summer cicadas cried more than ever.

Gu Lanqing took a hip flask and drank in the courtyard. There were two wine glasses on the stone table, and after he filled them one by one, he was stunned.

I don’t understand why I put two wine glasses.

“You said Gu Lang really forgot that arrogant female ghost?”

“Of course. Didn’t you see how powerful the blind old way is?”

“In fact, that little girl ghost is quite pitiful.”

“So, it’s still human and ghost who have different ways. You said that if she honestly acts as a ghost, how could she end up like that.”

As soon as these words came out, several female ghosts lying on the wall were silent.

Gu Lanqing listened to the chattering discussion of the female ghosts.

From their words, some things can be roughly inferred.

They seem to be saying that he once liked a female ghost.

But he forgot her.

Gu Lanqing only found it absurd.

Not to mention whether he would be tempted by a female ghost.

If you really like it, how can you forget it? What can be forgotten means that it is not important.

Everyone in Gu’s mansion was tight-lipped, and no one would mention Liu Yin in front of Gu Lanqing.

Gradually, as time passed, it seemed that everyone had forgotten that such a beautiful woman had ever appeared.

Gu Lanqing is still the same as before, with no changes.

If there is a difference, it is that he ordered the plum trees in the garden to be cut down.

Everyone in Gu’s mansion knows that the son likes plum blossoms, so there is a plum grove in the garden.

In the cold winter of this year, the son went to enjoy the flowers.

When I saw the plum blossoms in full bloom, I didn’t say anything for a long time, and two hot tears rolled down from the corner of my eyes.

The son waved away.

Since then, there has been no plum tree in the Gu mansion.

…

People in Jiangcheng have a soft spot for plum blossoms.

Plum trees are planted all over the city.

At first, there were not many plum trees in Jiangcheng.

Later, it gradually emerged because a jadesmith found a stone under an old plum tree. This stone is not like ordinary products. The craftsman cut it open, and there really is a beautiful jade hidden in it.

Later, the story of the craftsman spread, and the story of treasures under the plum trees became more and more miraculous. People planted plum trees in their yards for auspiciousness.

The craftsman took out the mutton fat white jade hidden inside the stone and carved it into a jade pendant with all his efforts.
