Chapter 164 Chapter Three

Under the wide brim, a pair of fiery red eyes shocked everyone.Xuan Po's thighs trembled as if she was in a hurry to urinate.Those eyes were like lamps swaying in the wind, shining on everyone's face, with not very bright light. "Everyone, don't panic. I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to protect you. I'm a Gui Taoist priest, from a Taoist temple far away." The strange man said suddenly. "The one who protects us? A noble Taoist priest?" Xuan Po hesitated, "We have a crooked Taoist priest here, and I have never heard of a noble Taoist priest. How do you prove that you are a Taoist priest and not someone with other intentions?"

Taoist Gui lowered the brim of his hat again to cover his fiery eyes, and said, "I'm worried that other people may have plans against the red-haired ghost, so I want to subdue the red-haired ghost and prevent it from being used by other people to do things that harm nature and reason." I believe you have also seen the fiery red chain on the neck of the red-haired ghost just now, that is the magic weapon I use to catch ghosts." It wasn't Taoist Gui who mentioned the red-haired ghost. Everyone almost forgot about the red-haired ghost. "Where did the red-haired ghost go?" Xuan Po turned her head and asked the people around her, who shook their heads.

Taoist Gui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone. My chain is around its neck. I can control where it goes." Xuan Po turned her head to look at Taoist Gui again, and asked, "By the way, Taoist priest, are you saying who has plans for the red-haired ghost? Since you came to catch the red-haired ghost, you must already know who is going to have plans for the red-haired ghost." Was it an attempt? If you can’t tell why, then we won’t allow you to mess with the red-haired ghost. Now that the red-haired ghost’s viciousness has been removed, it can be regarded as a member of our village. Everyone said, right? Huh?" The people around responded immediately.

Taoist Gui pondered for a moment, and said, "Let me tell you, it is another extremely vicious ghost—the Yasha ghost who has plans for the red-haired ghost." "Yasha ghost?" Xuan Po still didn't believe it. Taoist Gui looked in the direction of Thrushcross Village and said, "Maybe you don't know, the Yasha ghost has approached here, and its target is the red-haired ghost. I have been tracking this Yasha ghost for a long time, and I have fought against it. It was deeply hurt by me, but it escaped. It wanted to use the power of the red-haired ghost to deal with me." Gui Daoist paused, and then said: "Not only me, but it will also use the red-haired ghost to harm me. More people. It will use lust to control the red-haired ghost, make the red-haired ghost relapse, and completely accept its control."

Xuan Po still didn't believe it, and said to Taoist Gui: "Based on your one-sided words, how can we believe you? Such lies are easy to fabricate." Everyone echoed. Taoist Gui said: "I don't have any other objects to prove it, but I have a story. I don't know if everyone has the patience and interest to listen to it." "Story?" Xuan Po wondered, "What story?" "This story is very long, and it is difficult to tell clearly at the moment." Taoist Gui said. "But it doesn't matter." Xuan Po said bluntly, "If you don't make it clear, we won't let you go, let alone take the red-haired ghost away."

Taoist Gui talked for a long time, and everyone listened for a long time, and finally agreed to Taoist Gui to take away the red-haired ghost.A month later, Xuan Po told me the story told by Taoist Gui.The story goes like this: That was the Qing Dynasty, probably during the Kangxi period.There was a wealthy businessman in Zhejiang, and his family had a daughter who was waiting to be married.This daughter is exquisite and incomparable.Her wealthy father, surnamed Luo, hoped that his daughter would stand out from the crowd on the day of her birth, so she named her "Luofu", which means that she should be as beautiful as the ancient beauty Luofu.

Being good-looking is not meant to be used as a vase at home, her father's thoughts are naturally inseparable from the accountant's abacus.Her father hoped that her daughter would marry a young master from a family richer than himself, or marry the son of a powerful and high-ranking official.In this way, his business can be bigger and the family's money can be more. Because of this, her father picked her up and down, seeing that her daughter was about to get married, but there was no matchmaker to find a suitable family for her. Her father waited patiently for the right opportunity for future business development.However, this flowery girl has already had a grievance. Seeing that girls of her age are already in love with each other, she is very envious.People in that era could talk about marriage when they were fifteen or sixteen years old. After this age, few matchmakers were willing to deal with them.

The girl was already eighteen years old at this time, and seeing her father's unwillingness to catch a big fish, she was extremely anxious. One day, a poor scholar came to this rich man's house to borrow some silver taels to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt.When the scholar and a housekeeper went into the account room to get money, they bumped into this beautiful girl, and the broken money in the scholar's hand was scattered all over the floor.The scholar stood there blankly looking at the blushing girl in front of him, but forgot to pick up the silver. The girl was so shy when the scholar saw it like this.You know, in ancient times, the girls in the boudoirs of wealthy families practiced embroidery on the embroidery building all the year round, and rarely saw strangers, especially men who were unfamiliar.Being looked at by a scholar who is still handsome despite some patches in her clothes, she is inevitably very shy.

"Pick up your silver and get out!" The maid beside the girl expelled him dissatisfied. The scholar was indifferent to the servant girl's words, and he was stunned for a long time before he could say a few words: "The book says that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. I think it's better to say it the other way around. First say that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and then say There is a house of gold in the book." The maid said disgustedly: "What gold? What jade? I think you are stupid. This silver is enough, and you still want gold and jade? Don't think about it, get out!"

The servant girl, Douda, didn't know a single word, so naturally she didn't know the elegant sentence "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book".But the girl had been educated by a private school teacher, and understood the hidden meaning of the scholar's words, so her face was glowing, and she hurriedly dragged the maid to hide in the embroidery building. The housekeeper came out of the account room, helped the poor scholar pick up the broken silver on the ground, and pushed him out. From then on, this scholar has no interest in reading, tasteless in chewing meat, and silent in listening to the piano, and only has that fairy-like girl in his head.He often looks out of the window for a long time, wasting a lot of time reading sage books.

In ancient times, there were thousands of love stories about a poor scholar and a girl from a wealthy family. After twists and turns, kindness and resentment, and combination and separation, the ending is happy.Never tire of talking.Their stories were different.
