There was another strange news in Yellow Millet Dream Town!
Previously, the Xiangji Temple outside the town was haunted and turned the whole town upside down. The people were in a panic. The townspeople had invited countless Taoist priests and monks to perform exorcism, but it was useless. He didn't expect that this female ghost would actually be wandering around the streets in broad daylight…Uh, not wandering around, but being tied up with tree vines and tied to the back of a donkey to parade through the streets.
It was already strange enough for a ghost to appear in broad daylight, not to mention that this female ghost was tied to the back of a donkey and walked down one street after another. Wasn't this strange? It was simply a rare piece of news!
Therefore, not long after the news spread, a group of people gathered around the donkey and pointed at the female ghost who was yelling on the donkey's back.
"Hey, what the hell is this? Why would he come out in broad daylight to scare people?”
"It's most likely because she's too ugly that she was chased out by King Yama. Didn't you see how strange she looked?”
"No, no, no. I think she was probably beaten up. Looking like this, she doesn't let the other kids chase after her for three meals a day, including supper?”
The group of people immediately burst into laughter, and Yun Xiuyi was so angry that he shouted,""What are you laughing at? Have you never seen an ugly ghost? If you laugh again, I'll strangle you with my tongue!”
One of the middle-aged men taunted,"Look, you're still so fierce even though you're tied to a donkey? No wonder he was kidnapped and paraded on the streets!"
Another man came closer and studied Yun Xiuyi for a long time. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and said,"Hey, is this the female ghost from Xiangji Temple?”
The group of people looked at each other, and then dozens of pairs of eyes stared at Yun Xiuyi's colorful little face. Everyone's eyes were filled with fear, surprise, and anger.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted,"Splash her with the black dog's blood!"”
Someone else shouted angrily,"No, how can black dog blood be enough to deal with this kind of thing? I think we should set up a pot of oil and blow her up!”
Someone even shouted,"It's not enough to just blow it up! She should be tied up and exposed to the sun for a few days and nights. Let's see how she can harm others.”
Hearing the townspeople's furious words, Yun Xiuyi couldn't help but panic." I, I…I'm not a ghost. Don't misunderstand. I'm not the bad ghost you're talking about…"
An old man held a handful of green onions and hit Yun Xiuyi's head." You still dare to say no! This young master was obviously hired by Zhang Shanren to exorcise ghosts. If you're not a female ghost from Xiangji Temple, why did this young master tie you up? I'll beat you to death, you evil spirit. You've caused us to have no peace and we can't sleep well. I'll beat you to death, beat you to death!”
Seeing that the old man was about to attack, the others also came forward. Some threw eggs, some beat them with sticks, and some hit them with brooms. Yun Xiuyi was beaten until he was in a sorry state. He shouted and struggled desperately," I'm not the bad ghost you're talking about. I didn't hurt anyone. I didn't hurt anyone!" Hey! Save me, save me!"
Yun Xiuyi asked Chu Yunxuan for help, but Chu Yunxuan waved his fan and went to the tree to enjoy the cool. He seemed to turn a blind eye to Yun Xiuyi's screams and the anger of the villagers. He even looked at the bird's nest on the tree.
Seeing that Chu Yunxuan was not going to save her, Yun Xiuyi could only desperately explain to the townspeople,"I'm not the bad ghost you guys are talking about. I'm not a ghost! I didn't hurt anyone, I really didn't hurt anyone…"
But how could these townspeople listen to Yun Xiuyi's explanation? They punched and kicked her with all their might. They even dragged her off the donkey's back and sprinkled black dog blood on her head.
Perhaps the black dog's blood was really effective against ghosts, but Yun Xiuyi was a human. Even if all the black dogs in Yellow Millet Dream Town were slaughtered and their blood splashed on her, it would not do anything to her.
Therefore, some people started to set up oil pots, while others ran home to get hot oil, ready to fry a female ghost.
Seeing that she was about to be thrown into the pot of oil and become a real ghost, Yun Xiuyi was so scared that she burst into tears and snot. She could no longer care about the silver. I surrender, I surrender! Please save me, my good big brother, my good grandpa, my good ancestor, my good grandpa, I beg you, please save me! Otherwise, I'll be fried into prawns by them!”
A smile appeared on Chu Yunxuan's handsome face. Fried into prawns? To think that she could think of that! If it was put into the pot, it would probably not become fried prawns, but fried girls! However, who taught her to be so shameless as to not surrender early and hand over the silver she had swindled?
Chu Yunxuan approached the crowd and shouted,""Enough, this girl is a human and not a ghost. Can't you tell?”
But Young Master, you tied her up and paraded her through the streets…"
"That was because she stole a few taels of silver from me, so I tied her up and paraded her through the streets as a light punishment.”
"But Ah San said that the female ghost he saw at Xiangji Temple looked like this…"
Chu Yunxuan's beautiful eyes stared at Yun Xiuyi's face, which was crying like a kitten, and he said slowly,"If she's a ghost, can she see the sun? Can she withstand you spilling black dog blood on her?”
These words sounded reasonable. Even if everyone still had great doubts in their hearts, at this moment, all of them were gone.
These townspeople were always simple, how could they compare to the eloquent and witty Chu Yunxuan?
Chu Yunxuan put away his fan and placed Yun Xiuyi on the donkey's back. He then said to the townspeople,""The female ghost of Xiangji Temple has already left and will never come back. You can live your lives in peace!”
After saying that, he rode on his donkey and left with Yun Xiuyi, the little girl who had caused so much chaos in Yellow Millet Dream Town, leaving the townspeople behind to celebrate that the scourge that had troubled them for a long time had finally been removed.
"Now can you tell me where you hid the silver?”Chu Yunxuan leaned against the tree and looked at Yun Xiuyi, who was sitting on the ground in a sorry state.
Yun Xiuyi pouted. Her entire body was covered in black dog blood, egg stains, and the smell of urine and feces. She looked as miserable and pitiful as she could be.
She grumbled,"Heartless beasts, bloodless beasts, and big bad ghosts who don't help!”
Chu Yunxuan raised his eyebrows." What did you say?”
Yun Xiuyi stared fearlessly at the stinky man who was more beautiful than a girl but more vicious than a poisonous snake." I said you are a heartless beast, a bloodless beast, and a big bad ghost who doesn't help! Isn't it?"
"I have no heart, no liver, no blood, and no tears.”Chu Yunxuan pointed at himself.
"That's right! You watched me get beaten up by so many people and almost die from the explosion, yet you didn't come to save me? Don't you know what compassion is? Hmph, heartless, heartless ”
Chu Yunxuan's eyes turned cold." Of course I know what compassion and sympathy are. The problem is, is this how compassion and sympathy are explained and abused?”
"Shouldn't I have compassion and compassion when I see a weak girl being bullied by so many people?" Yun Xiuyi argued.”
Chu Yunxuan looked coldly at this unruly and shameless little girl," Oh? Weak? Are you sure you don't have the strength to even tie a chicken?"
Yun Xiuyi tilted his head." Of course. Otherwise, why would I be bullied by you and beaten up by so many people? And he was covered in dog blood and feces?”
"Is that so?" Chu Yunxuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly pointed behind Yun Xiuyi."" Girl, there's a poisonous snake coming at you from behind. You'd better dodge…"
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Xiuyi jumped high into the air and instantly jumped onto a tree. She even called out nervously,"I'm afraid of snakes. I hate those slimy, slimy things. Get rid of it, please, get rid of it!”
Chu Yunxuan did not move. He stared coldly at the little girl who was hugging the tree with both hands and standing firmly on the tree trunk." You don't know martial arts?" A weak woman who was so weak that she could even tie a chicken? Hmm?"
Yun Xiuyi's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly as she stared at Chu Yunxuan.
He…fell for it again! She had actually been deceived by this cunning, treacherous, shameless, and stinking man who hid a knife behind his smile!
Yun Xiuyi was furious." You…You lied to me, you rotten egg. How dare you lie to me?”
As she spoke, her small body pounced on Chu Yunxuan from top to bottom, her hands grabbing at the air as she shouted,"I want to strangle you to death! I want to die with you!”
But she was fast, but Chu Yunxuan was even faster. Just as she fell, Chu Yunxuan dodged to the side. Yun Xiuyi fell to the ground directly, almost dislocating her face and nose.
Fortunately, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and the tree wasn't very tall. Otherwise, even if Yun Xiuyi didn't break her head, she would have been badly bruised and her face would have been covered in beancurd.
Yun Xiuyi was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head." You…"
Chu Yunxuan smiled insincerely." This is called having no strength at all? A weak woman who was so weak that she could even tie a chicken could jump onto a tree with a single jump, yet she dared to jump down from the tree and hit someone?”
Yun Xiuyi propped herself up and raised her hand to wipe the nosebleed that was dripping non-stop." So what? Believe it or not, I can even pull out trees and hit people!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Xiuyi rushed towards a tree. He bent down and hugged the tree tightly. With a roar, he uprooted the tree and swept it towards Chu Yunxuan." I'll beat you to death, you son of a b * tch! I'll beat you to death, you rotten egg who did nothing to save me!"”
Chu Yunxuan was surprised, amused, and in disbelief. Heavens! Was this girl the reincarnation of the West Chu Conqueror Xiang Yu? Otherwise, where did she get the strength to uproot a tree? He could still use that tree as a stick?
Chu Yunxuan jumped and flew as he used his superior qinggong to tease the angry little girl. Little thing, if I really didn't help you, you would have been thrown into the frying pan and fried into prawns. Do you remember?”
"If you hadn't caught me with your despicable means, I wouldn't have been nearly fried into a shrimp!”Yun Xiuyi held the tree and swung it around, but her weapon was too shocking, too big, and too long. Not only did she miss Chu Yunxuan, but she also almost hit another tree and fell on her back.
Chu Yunxuan's face darkened." That's right, I admit that I used some effort to catch you, but have you thought about it? If I told those angry townspeople that you were the ghost of Xiangji Temple, what would you do? Can you still stay alive and get angry with me?”
Yun Xiuyi was speechless." I…"
Indeed, if Chu Yunxuan was determined to leave her in the lurch and really wanted to harm her, he could just say that she was the female ghost of Xiangji Temple. Even if she had three heads, six arms, and eighteen legs, she would still be fried into prawns by the angry townspeople on the spot.
But…but she didn't do it on purpose. She didn't want to make herself ugly to scare people! If it weren't for saving Nanny, she wouldn't have done such a thing!
Yun Xiuyi thought about how he didn't scare anyone today and didn't get the silver. He was even bullied by this stinky man. He was beaten up and covered in dog shit and blood. When she thought that Ma Wanqun would definitely not let her and Nanny off, she could not help but feel sad. She threw down the tree in her hands and could not help but cry.
"Wow! I…I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't want to scare you! If it wasn't for…if it wasn't because I was afraid that Nanny would be killed, I wouldn't…wouldn't…wow!”
Chu Yunxuan was a little surprised when she cried. Nanny? What nanny? What dead?
"Nanny?" he asked hurriedly. You have a nanny?"
Yun Xiuyi raised her head fiercely, her face full of tears." Of course. Do you think I jumped out of a rock and grew up drinking dew?”
Chu Yunxuan frowned. Jumped out of a rock? Growing up drinking dew? He did not remember asking her how she was born or what she drank when she was growing up.
"I'm asking you why you said Nanny would die if you didn't pretend to be a ghost."”
Yun Xiuyi was still fierce, but her tears fell even more fiercely." Stupid! Of course, it's because Nanny was captured by that bad guy Ma Wanqun, so I said I was afraid Nanny would be killed!”
Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. And there was also Ma Wanqun? Who was this Ma Wanqun? What did it have to do with her acting as a ghost to scare people?
Yun Xiuyi didn't think so much. She was anxious, sad, upset, and aggrieved. She mumbled," Let me tell you, Nanny is the best person to me in this world, except for my mother, my elder sister, and my second sister. If Nanny is killed by Ma Wanqun because of you, I will never let you off. I will castrate you and then kill you to avenge Nanny!”
Chu Yunxuan slapped his forehead, stood up, and left.
He didn't want to care about this girl anymore, nor did he want to know where she hid the black-hearted silver. Because if he continued to be involved with her, he was afraid that even if he didn't go crazy, he would lose control and become a fiery phoenix!
At this moment, a man in black jumped out of the forest and rushed towards Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan was stunned and instantly recognized the man in black." It's you?"”
"You should know why I'm looking for you."”After saying that, he pounced on Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan jumped back without thinking, avoiding the attack of the man in black. However, he avoided the front, but he forgot that there was still Yun Xiuyi behind him. Yun Xiuyi was extremely strong and could use a tree as a stick.
Yun Xiuyi stretched out her fist and aimed it at Chu Yunxuan's head. Chu Yunxuan immediately felt dizzy and his eyes went black. Before he could turn around, he lost consciousness and fainted.
Yun Xiuyi happily took the pile of silver he had stolen from Chu Yunxuan and returned to a large manor about ten miles away from Yellow Millet Dream Town.
Before she stepped into the door, Yun Xiuyi heard a woman's cry coming from inside." Stop hitting me, Uncle Ma. I beg you, stop hitting me. I really don't know, I really don't know!"”
"You don't know? I didn't know you would bring that girl from Shaowu to Dunhuang to visit your parents? You must know where the Yun family's treasure is hidden, right?”
"I really don't know! Besides, if there really was some treasure, why would Little Miss pretend to be a ghost all day to cheat others of their money?”
"Humph! That girl was just trying to trick people into giving her money, but she can trick others but not me, Ma Wanqun. Especially when it comes to the treasure, don't even think about hiding it from me!”
"How can the Yun family have any treasures? The Yun family had long fallen into decline. If there was really a treasure, it would have been spent long ago. Otherwise, the second miss would not have fallen ill and could not even afford a doctor. She would not have died of illness!”
"Don't you dare lie to me! I've asked around long ago. Not only does the Yun Family have treasures, but it's also related to the rumored Nine Phoenix Ring that can prolong one's life, cure all illnesses, and achieve immortality, right?”
"No, I really didn't! If the Yun family really had that kind of thing, then why would the Second Miss still die?”
"Who cares why your Second Miss died? I only ask you, where is the treasure?”
"If I say there is no, then there is no! The Yun Family definitely does not have any treasure, nor does it have the Nine Phoenix Ring that you mentioned!”
"No? I don't believe it!" Ma Wanqun scoffed.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not.”
"You…you old woman, do you want to drink the hard way? Someone, give her a good beating again and see if she will talk.”
Following that, Yun Xiuyi heard the sound of whipping and the nanny's cries for help. The sound made her hair stand on end, and she was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head.
She rushed into the room and threw herself on the nanny without thinking. She used her body to block the whip for the nanny and shouted,"Ma Wanqun, you beast, bastard! How dare you bully Nanny when I'm not around!”
Ma Wanqun glared at Yun Xiuyi, whose face was covered in flowers and blood," I was wondering who it was. So it's our little female ghost who's back."”
Yun Xiuyi grabbed the whip and threw the person holding it onto the ground. Then, she stood up angrily and rushed in front of Ma Wanqun, pointing at his nose and scolding,""I'm asking you a question. Didn't you hear me? How could you hit Nanny when I wasn't around? Didn't you promise me that as long as I earn a lot of money for you, you won't make things difficult for me and Nanny? Why are you secretly hitting her now?"
Ma Wanqun laughed," I did promise you that as long as you earn money for me, I won't make things difficult for you. However, the little silver you earn is not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. Moreover, what I want isn't just silver, there's still that Nine Phoenix Ring, do you know?”
"I don't care about the Nine Phoenix Ring or the Ten Phoenix Ring, I won't allow you to hit Nanny anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!”
"You're not polite? Alright! I really want to see how this ugly girl is going to be impolite!”Ma Wanqun tilted his head and ordered his subordinates,""You guys play with this ugly girl and interrogate her about the whereabouts of the treasure. She's the head of the Yun family, so she must know where the treasure is.”
"Yes, sir!"
Several guards responded and immediately surrounded Yun Xiuyi.
Yun Xiuyi was so angry that her face turned red. She grabbed a chair and threw it forward." Let's fight. Who's afraid of who?" Do you think I can't beat you?"
She leaped forward and started fighting with the guards.
She was really amazing. Relying on her natural strength and the little martial arts she had learned from her master since she was young, she was actually able to fight evenly with a few guards. There were even a few guards who had the intention of underestimating the enemy and were accidentally hit by her powerful iron fists. They almost cried for their parents in pain.
"Come on! Do you think I'm afraid of you? If it weren't for Nanny, I would have beaten all of you flat. Come again, come again!" Yun Xiuyi shouted, his hands grabbing a piece of the door and waving it around. It turned out that she, the young miss, was so excited that she even dismantled the door panel to make a weapon.
Seeing this, Ma Wanqun was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him. He didn't expect this little girl to have some skills. No wonder she could pretend to be a ghost and scare people for so long.
Suddenly, Ma Wanqun saw Nanny cowering in the corner and grabbed her over. He pressed a sharp knife against her neck and threatened,""Little girl, if you continue to be crazy, be careful that your most beloved nanny will go to Suzhou to accompany your mother to sell duck eggs!”
Yun Xiuyi, who had been smashing people with the door, could not help but be stunned when he heard this. In a flash, he was kicked to the ground by a guard." It hurts!”
She subconsciously wanted to jump up and fight back, but at this time, Ma Wanqun came to her with the nanny." Girl, don't you want her life?”
Yun Xiuyi was shocked." Don't touch Nanny! If you dare to touch my nanny, I will never let you off!”
Ma Wanqun laughed coldly," You want me not to touch her? Sure, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of the Yun Family's treasure and the Nine Phoenix Ring, I'll let the two of you go, how about it?”
Yun Xiuyi was so angry that her eyes widened." Nanny has already said that our family doesn't have any treasures or the Nine Phoenix Ring. If there was, why would his mother fall sick and die? Why would I pretend to be a ghost to scare people for a living?”
"No?"
"If I say no, then no! If you don't believe me, you can search!”
"How can such an important thing be found just by searching? Let me ask you again, where is the treasure?”
"If I say no, then no, believe it or not.”Yun Xiuyi turned his head.
"You!" Ma Wanqun was furious." You naughty girl, it looks like you won't tell me unless I make you suffer a little. Men, hit him! If she dared to retaliate, she would kill this old woman as well!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people stepped forward and punched and kicked Yun Xiuyi.
Yun Xiuyi was angry and worried. She was angry that she could not protect Nanny and caused her to suffer. He was also worried that if he retaliated, Ma Wanqun, this rotten egg, would vent his anger and kill the nanny.
Therefore, she did not dare to fight back at all. She could only curl up and lie on the ground, allowing those people to kick her, beat her, kick her, and even grab her head to hit the wall. They used the door to smash her body, causing her to be covered in bruises.
The nanny at the side was in tears as she desperately begged Ma Wanqun," Uncle Ma, please let Little Miss go, okay? She was a girl, how could she withstand this kind of torture?”
" I can let her go," Ma Wanqun said slowly." As long as you tell me where the treasure is, I'll let her go immediately."”
"But…I really don't know! If I knew, I would have said it long ago.”the nanny cried.
"You don't know?" Ma Wanqun swept his gaze across," Then continue beating until you are willing to say it. I don't believe you can just watch your little master get beaten to death!"”
"I…"
At this moment, Yun Xiuyi, who had been beaten unconscious, struggled and said," Don't, don't say it. Nanny, you must not say it. Otherwise…Otherwise, you will harm…harm Sister Feng…"
Seeing that Yun Xiuyi still had the strength to speak, a guard kicked her in the chest, causing her to spit out blood and faint on the spot.
When Nanny saw Yun Xiuyi vomit blood and faint, she was so scared that she almost lost her soul." Stop hitting me. I…I said it…"
Ma Wanqun was overjoyed," Why didn't you do this earlier? You guys could have suffered less." Quick, tell me, where is the Yun family's treasure? Also, where is that Nine Phoenix Ring?”
Nanny lowered her head and stammered,""It's…it's…"
"I have it." A man's clear and pleasant voice suddenly interrupted Nanny's words.
Ma Wanqun was shocked." Who?”
A young man dressed in luxurious clothes, with a jade-like face, extremely handsome and unrestrained, walked in slowly while waving a folding fan." The Yun Family's treasures and the Nine Phoenix Ring that you wanted are all with me.”
Ma Wanqun looked at the unfamiliar yet unbelievably handsome young man in front of him," Who are you?”
The man smiled and closed his fan with both hands. His eyes were like lightning, and his gaze was like a knife as he stared at Ma Wanqun and said clearly,"I am Chu Yunxuan of Yangtian, the third in the Nine Phoenix of Dunhuang!”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:39AM
