When Li Yi heard the system notification, he could not help but feel surprised."She just casually mentioned it, and it's considered a request? Wasn't this service a little too thoughtful?”
Li Yi looked at the new item, Hollow Paper, that appeared in his mind and thought," This 'Empty Paper' is a good thing. Unfortunately, it can only be used in this mission. Otherwise, with this 'Empty Paper,' I won't have to worry about my future. If I want to be a scholar, I can be a scholar. If I want to be a singer, I can be a singer. With this 'Empty Paper,' any work can be mine.”
However, Li Yi immediately realized that it was useless even if he had this " Empty Paper " because Li Yi could not remember the contents of these works at all. At most, he could only remember a portion of them. What was the use of that?
Just as Li Yi finished his thoughts, the system's voice sounded again,""Ding, as long as the host writes down his name on the 'Empty Paper,' the system will tell the host the contents to prevent the host from forgetting the contents.”
Li Yi nodded his head slightly and felt completely relieved. Since Su Yuxue wanted to be scared by a ghost story, he would tell her a ghost story to satisfy her strange request.
Li Yi thought to himself, If we're talking about ghost stories, the most famous one should be Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. Right, I'll pick one from Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio!”
Li Yi immediately used his mind to write the words " Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio " on the " Empty Paper ".
"Ding!'Hollow Paper' has been successfully used. The host's 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio' has been erased from the current world. The contents of 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio' have been transmitted to the host's mind.”
After the system's voice disappeared, all four hundred short stories from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio appeared in Li Yi's mind word for word. Other than the original classical Chinese, every single one of them had been translated into vernacular Chinese for Li Yi. This way, Li Yi did not have to worry about not being able to understand what he was reading and having trouble explaining.
After Li Yi found a relatively scary story among the nearly 500 short stories in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, he said to Su Yuxue,""Student Su, I have a very scary ghost story here. Do you want to hear it?”
When Su Yuxue heard Li Yi's words, she immediately shifted her gaze away from the Folk Ghost Stories in her hands. She raised her head to look at Li Yi and nodded repeatedly."Sure, I've read almost all the stories in this book. I'm bored. Tell me!”
Li Yi smiled and said," The story I'm going to tell you is called Corpse Transformation. Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was an old man who opened a roadside inn with his son. They provided accommodation for pedestrians. It's similar to hotels nowadays.”
" The sun had just set when four drivers came to the inn to stay. However, because it was already late, the inn was full of people..."
Although " Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio " was a ghost story in most people's minds, most of the short stories were not scary. They were even a little romantic. The author expressed his own ideal love through the love between demons and humans in the story, which also touched many readers.
As for Li Yi's Zombie Transformation, it had nothing to do with love. Its horror level was one of the best in the entire Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. This was also to satisfy Su Yuxue's request to let her experience what it felt like to be scared by a ghost story.
The story of Corpse Transformation was about four coachmen staying in an inn. Because it was full at that time, there were no rooms left. They were very tired and could only rest in the room where the old man put his daughter-in-law's corpse. Who would have thought that at night, the old man's daughter-in-law would suddenly come to life and blow corpse gas at the four of them.
One of the coachmen had not fallen asleep yet and hurriedly escaped from the inn. The female corpse followed closely behind him. The coachman ran all the way to a temple. Because the female corpse was chasing him closely, the coachman did not have time to enter the temple. He hid behind a big tree in front of the temple.
The tree was very wide. The coachman leaned against the tree and circled around the female corpse. After a long stalemate, the female corpse suddenly stopped moving, and the coachman fell to the ground in exhaustion. He only woke up the next morning. When the monk in the temple saw the female corpse, he ran to call the official. He saw that the female corpse's ten fingers were stabbed into the tree, and the corpse was still standing in front of the tree.
The bailiff came to the old man's inn and asked him to take the corpse home. He then went to see the other three drivers. The three of them had died because of the corpse qi of the female corpse.
Li Yi then proceeded to explain Zombie Transformation from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio to Su Yuxue in vernacular language. Initially, Su Yuxue did not pay much attention to it, but as Li Yi continued to explain, she could not help but feel afraid.
Although the temperature in the bookstore was not low, Su Yuxue shivered a few times. Her hair stood on end, her scalp was numb, and her body was trembling.
When Li Yi finished his 1,000-word vernacular version of Zombie Transformation, Su Yuxue felt her hair stand on end and her heart was filled with fear. She had never felt this way before.
When Li Yi saw the expression on Su Yuxue's face and the beads of sweat on her forehead, he knew that Su Yuxue was frightened by his Zombie Transformation.
Li Yi noticed that Su Yuxue was still frozen in place after he had finished speaking for a long time. He reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes, shouting,""Student Su, Student Su."
Su Yuxue's body trembled after being called by Li Yi twice. Only then did she come back to her senses and let out an " Ah!"
"Student Su, did the ghost story I told you scare you?" Li Yi asked Su Yuxue.”
Su Yuxue nodded without hesitation and said,""It did scare me. I didn't expect such a scary ghost story to exist in this world.”
In fact, the stories in " Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio " might not be as scary as modern ghost stories. However," Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio " was a classic of ancient supernatural novels. Each story was directly touching the heart and seeping into the heart. This was much better than modern supernatural and horror novels.
After Su Yuxue finished speaking, she immediately asked Li Yi,""By the way, Student Li, where did you read this 'Corpse Transformation'? Although I can't say that I've read all the ghost stories, I've at least read hundreds and thousands of them. It's impossible for me to not have heard of such an exciting ghost story like " Corpse Transformation ".”
