Chapter 1779
Let's Chat 5
"You...were invited by my third sister?" The woman looked them over, her gaze lingering on Liu Dong and Liu San.
Both of them are the type that her third sister likes.
The woman sighed, "You should leave now."
Liu San and Qingyun Qingyang were surprised; this woman seemed to have goodwill towards them.
Liu Tong: "Let's go now."
They got into the carriage and left the courtyard.
Three days later, the woman caught up with them and demanded, "My third sister has disappeared. Did you do it?"
Liu Tong: "I thought you were already prepared."
woman:"……"
The woman used magic to attack them.
Liu Dong stepped back, leaving the battlefield to Qingyun Qingyang and Liu San.
The woman was quite strong, at least stronger than Hu San Niang.
But Qingyun and Qingyang were trained by Liu Dong, and there's also Liu San, who is highly skilled in martial arts...
The three men overpowered the woman, who tried to escape, but Qingyang bound her hands and feet with ropes made of talismans.
Liu San slashed at the woman's neck, intending to make her suffer the same fate as her third sister.
Liu Tong spoke up to stop her: "Don't kill her."
The three of them immediately stopped.
The woman looked at Liu Qiu in surprise. This man wasn't going to kill her?
Could it be that he was attracted to her beauty?
The woman couldn't help but glare at Liu Qiu with disgust.
Liu Tong: "..."
Liu Tong saw the meaning in his eyes and laughed in exasperation.
"Ha, so self-righteous. I despise your attitude. I only spared your life because I see you have no sins and know you are a righteous demon."
The woman said, "You killed my third sister, and I will definitely take revenge."
Liu Tong: "Your third sister deserved it. How many people did she kill?"
The woman said, "Those people were lustful and deserved to die."
Liu Tong sighed: "I thought you, Hu Si Niang, were a reasonable and good demon, but it turns out you're nothing special."
Indeed, in the original story, although Hu Si Niang reminded the scholar how vicious Hu San Niang was, she never stopped Hu San Niang from doing evil.
Moreover, she had poor taste, falling for a lecherous man like Shang Shusheng.
This scholar was also having an affair with Hu San Niang. When he saw that Hu Si Niang was even more beautiful, he consummated his relationship with her. Later, he was seduced by other female demons and almost lost his life.
The reason the Taoist priest released Hu Si Niang and the others was simply because Hu Si Niang and Hu San Niang were beautiful.
If it were a male demon or a demon with an ordinary appearance, the scholar would not care whether the demon lived or died.
When I first read this story, I didn't like the characters.
Neither the man nor the woman was any good; Hu Si Niang was slightly better, which is why he decided to let her go.
But judging from Hu Si Niang's reaction...
Liu Tong: "Liu San, make your move!"
With a single slash, Liu San severed Hu Si Niang's head from her body, and her corpse reverted to its original form.
Qingyang set the body on fire again to destroy all evidence.
The four continued on their journey.
Hu Si Niang's family had never met the four of them, so they naturally didn't know that they were the "murderers" who killed Hu San Niang and Hu Si Niang, and they didn't know who to turn to for revenge.
But they were certain that the one who killed Hu Sanniang and Hu Siniang must have been a master.
After all, Hu Si Niang was the most powerful cultivator in the family, about to form her core, and most likely to become an immortal.
Even Hu Si Niang has been killed; even if they all attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for their enemy. Let's just forget about it then.
The foxes cowered timidly in their large house deep in the mountains, no longer daring to come out and harm people.
On Liu Dong's side, another wild fox was killed for seducing men and sucking their essence.
The wild fox, not satisfied with having drained a man dry, set its sights on the strong Liu San, only to run into a brick wall and lose its life.
Liu San and Qingyun buried the book that had died.
The scholar's soul was unwillingly taken away by the ox-headed and horse-faced demons.
He pleaded as he walked, trying to buy his life with money.
The scholar claimed to be the son of a wealthy family, who had enough money to burn a lot of paper money for the Ox-Head and Horse-Face demons.
The scholar mentioned his name, and Liu Dong raised her eyebrows.
So this scholar is actually the Imperial Academy Scholar.
Since Hu San Niang and Hu Si Niang had both been killed, no one came to save Shang Shusheng.
This lecherous fellow was easily seduced by another beautiful female monster and became her meal.
All Liu Dong could say was, "Serves him right."
After that, Liu Dong and his companions experienced many more things and encountered many people and demons.
They attended the wedding of their grandson Chu Abao, drank the wedding wine of Prince Fu and Ying Ning, and also saw what Xiao Cui looked like in her wedding dress.
As they passed a mountain, they saw a woman who was actually a snake spirit about to harm people, so they killed the snake spirit and saved the people.
The man was found by his family and taken home. After waking up, he came with his family to thank Liu Dong and the others for saving his life.
Liu Dong thus learned that this person was An Youyu from "Hua Gu Zi".
However, this is the world of the original Liaozhai novel, with An Youyu, Hua Gu Zi, and snake spirits, but not Tao Zui, the bamboo spirit who is serene and ethereal yet affectionate and righteous.
Liu Tong and her three companions accepted the An family's hospitality and stayed at the An family's house for a day. It was there that Liu Tong saw Hua Gu Zi, who had come looking for them.
This Hua Gu Zi is a very steady girl, completely different from the loud and annoying character in the TV series.
When the four arrived in Yi County, Liu Dong's gaze fell on a willow tree by the roadside.
The willow tree, sensing Liu Qiu's gaze, trembled and transformed into a scholar-like man who knelt beside Liu Qiu and addressed him as "Ancestor."
It turned out that the scholar was actually a willow tree spirit, known to mortals as the "Willow God".
He was born older than the original owner of Liu Dong's body, and he also gained intelligence many years earlier.
Logically speaking, he should be Liu Dong's elder.
But who can blame him when Ryuto is more capable than him?
In the world of fairies, strength is the only true measure of power.
Liu Tong: "You will face a calamity, but it will also be an opportunity for you."
Liu Shusheng: "Yes. If I can overcome this obstacle, I will become an immortal. If I cannot, I will die."
Liu Tong: "Since you call me Ancestor, I naturally won't let you die."
Liu Tong took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Liu Shusheng. It contained water that could quench sorrow.
Liu Tong: "When the locusts come, pour out the water inside and surround yourself with it. The locusts will be helpless against you."
Liu Shusheng gratefully accepted the porcelain bottle and carefully put it away.
After that, locust plagues struck Qing and Yan provinces, and gradually spread to Yi County. The scholar Liu entered the dream of the Yi County magistrate, instructing him to intercept and plead with the locust god.
Although the magistrate found it strange, he did as he was told, preparing wine and waiting outside the city.
Soon, a woman rode a donkey slowly toward Yi County.
The magistrate hurriedly went to greet her, treated the woman to fine wine and food, and burned incense and knelt to worship her.
The woman said, "That hateful scholar Liu is so talkative and leaked my secret! Let him suffer from the locust plague, but at least the crops won't be damaged."
So he drank three cups of wine and disappeared in the blink of an eye. (End of Chapter)
