Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 310: Immortals and Demons Go Against the Odds, Geniuses Never Die 14

At some point, the bright sunshine turned gloomy. On the clean street, a thin young woman was kneeling. She had two straws tied on her head and was wearing a plain white linen dress. There were two lines of tears on her haggard white face. She was kneeling on the ground. She looked so fragile, but she was stubbornly holding her back straight, giving people a sense of determination.

"Selling myself to bury my father." Ni Zhou, who was standing at the front, noticed the sign next to the woman and read the words on it softly.

Even if they don't know the customs and rules of the mortal world, they still understand the meaning of these four words.

When they took a closer look, they found that there was a corpse covered with a straw mat in front of the woman.

Amid the chattering, the woman wiped her tears and quickly glanced at the people in front of her.

When her eyes fell on Qin Shuangjiang who was wearing a veil, a hint of surprise was revealed in her narrow and cunning eyes.

Why is she here?

"Little girl, I will bring some silver with me today. Use this small amount of change to bury your father." After a while, a white-haired old woman took out silver from her purse with trembling hands.

"Auntie, thank you for your kindness, but I can't take your money." The woman refused while staring at Tang Saxiao.

Tang Saxiao subconsciously wanted to take off the purse from his waist, but a strong hand stopped him.

"Senior Sister?" He turned and looked, his expression full of confusion.

"Waiting and seeing."

After listening to Leng Nuan's words, although they didn't understand why they were not allowed to help, they all obediently did not make any other moves.

Seeing this, the woman gritted her teeth unwillingly. Just as she was about to do something, a handsome young man, holding a few pieces of silver in his hand, also stepped forward to persuade her.

"Miss, I have a few small change here, and with what I have, it should be enough."

"Yes, girl, the weather isn't looking good. It wouldn't be good if it rained. You should take this money and bury your father as soon as possible."

"Thank you all for your kindness. Lingzhi would like to express her gratitude. My father loved me so much when he was alive. Lingzhi has made up her mind. If I don't give him a proper burial, how can I be worthy of being a child?" Lingzhi's voice was full of gratitude and determination. But she gradually began to feel impatient. Why do people in this place like to meddle in other people's business?

"Then how much do you need?" someone asked with sympathy and curiosity.

"Eighty taels."

As soon as she said this, there was a uniform hissing sound from the crowd, which frightened the person who had just helped out with good intentions, so much so that he quickly stuffed his silver back into his sleeve, shook his head, and left helplessly.

Soon there were only a few people here, which made Leng Nuan and others particularly conspicuous.

Some people were still trying to persuade them earnestly, but Lingzhi smiled without saying anything, just looking firmly at this group of people with extraordinary temperament.

"Junior Master, how about we help her?" Tang Jingxuan pulled Leng Nuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

"Do you know how much this eighty taels is worth?" Leng Nuan asked instead of answering directly.

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, but judging from the reactions of others just now, it should be quite a lot.

"According to the annual income of ordinary people in the dynasty, it is probably only about 30 or 40 taels."

After Leng Nuan's explanation, the eyes of several people looking at the woman became unpleasant again. This is not selling herself to bury her father, this is clearly robbing money!!!

"In addition, there is a 'Ci'en Tomb' in Jialan City, which is specially used to deal with those unclaimed corpses and those who are so poor that they can't even afford the burial expenses."

"If there is no one who offers a price, is this filial piety or unfilial piety?"

"The most important thing is to take a close look at the body to see if there are any spots of corpse or if there is any smell of death."

As Leng Nuan continued to speak, the woman's face became darker and darker. She clenched her fists tightly, her teeth chattering.

This familiar feeling, she could tell that this man was really a "good elder", who would teach her younger generations whenever he got the chance. Qin Shuangjiang looked at Leng Nuan with a strange look in his eyes, and for a moment he doubted whether his decision was right.

"Well, it's almost time. It's time to go."

There is no doubt that this woman is a fraud. When I thought about how my sympathy and pity were exploited, I instantly felt sick as if I had eaten a fly. The remaining audience, when they looked at her again, no longer felt that this pitiful face was irritating.

"Bah, she's so young, there's nothing better for her to do than to do such shameful things. Come on, let's arrest her and send her to the authorities!"

"Yes, report it to the police! We can't let others be deceived."

"..."

"How abominable! The world is so sinister." After walking for a while, Tang Jingxuan was still indignant about what had just happened.

"Okay, don't be angry. Fortunately, we have our junior master here. This can be considered as a lesson learned." Liang Fei walked to her side and comforted her.

"You seem to know this mortal world very well." Qin Shuangjiang quickened his pace, walked to Leng Nuan and chatted with her.

"good."

"Come to think of it, we have already entered the city. Does Miss Qin agree with us on our purpose of going there?"

"Maybe it's true."

Leng Nuan suddenly stopped and looked at her intently, as if she was thinking about something. However, just when Qin Shuangjiang wanted to ask, she turned around and walked forward.

It was a while from the main road to Jingfan Temple. When they arrived at their destination, they understood why the old man had such a strange look on his face when they asked for directions and even advised them not to go.

I thought Jingfan Temple was a peaceful and tranquil temple, but the current scene was no exaggeration to say that it was a haunted house. It was still dusk outside, but it was as dark as night here, and a chilly wind blew out from the gap in the open door.

Leng Nuan walked up the steps, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed open the door, then nodded to everyone and walked in. Then several people followed in one by one.

Seeing them all go in, Qin Shuangjiang hesitated for a moment and followed them in.

Although they had some guesses about what was going on inside, the scene inside still surprised them.

In the empty courtyard, weeds grew everywhere, the stone slabs were broken, and some old things were thrown randomly in the corners, covered with thick dust and spider silk. In the center of the courtyard, there was a very thick and ancient locust tree, with twisted branches, like a huge monster, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

"What happened here? It looks like it has been deserted for decades."

Liang Fei looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, a black shadow stepped through the tiles on the roof, startling everyone.

"You guys act together, I'll go after him." Leng Nuan was the first to react, and gave orders as he flew away.

Seeing this, Qin Shuangjiang immediately followed.

The black shadow was moving so fast that it was hard to tell what it was. It headed westwards and finally turned into a dense bamboo forest.

When Leng Nuan and Qin Shuangjiang chased after him, the black shadow turned around and chanted a spell, and two huge stone monsters appeared on the ground and blocked their way.

During the fight, Qin Shuangjiang saw that the black shadow was about to disappear. She dodged the stone monster's attack, stepped on its shoulder, and jumped over.

"I'll go after him." Then he said that and ran away.

After fighting for a while, Leng Nuan smashed the stone monster's body with one punch. She ran forward quickly but suddenly saw Qin Shuangjiang, who was running in front of her, suddenly turned around and ran back.

Before Leng Nuan could open her mouth to ask, Qin Shuangjiang turned around and saw her. He suddenly accelerated madly, rushed towards her, jumped on her, hugged her tightly with his hands and feet, and shouted, "There is a ghost! Aa ...

"Wuwuwuwu..." Leng Nuan's head was pressed tightly against someone's plump breasts. This posture made her feel suffocated.

She forcefully pried open the hands that were restraining her and looked at her and said unhappily.

"What are you afraid of as a monster?"
