"Yes, alright." Lin Yi agreed and sat down at the table.
He watched as Xiao Yu poured wine for him.
However, Lin Yi did not drink it.
In the movie, Qiu Sheng drank a glass of wine and became confused. It was as if he had been bewitched. Lin Yi did not want to clap for love in his confusion.
"Xiao Yu, right? Have a seat. Tell me, why are you looking for me?”Lin Yi raised his hand and made a sitting gesture.
Xiao Yu sat down and looked at Lin Yi with her clear eyes. She thought for a long time and didn't know what to say.
Actually, she had wanted to look for Lin Yi for a long time, but Lin Yi was either at the mortuary or at Old Master Ren's house. Lin Yi could come out during the day, but she couldn't. She could only wait until night.
However, Lin Yi didn't come out at night. It wasn't easy for Lin Yi to go out today. There were more than 30 people and more than 20 bicycles. It was quite a commotion.
When Dong Xiaoyu saw that Lin Yi was leading the way, she was very excited. She chased after him all the way and finally caught up.
At first, she was a little unhappy when she saw Lin Yi bring people into the White Jade Tower. She felt that Lin Yi actually came to such a place and ruined her good image in her heart.
However, when she came in and saw that Lin Yi was only eating, drinking, and listening to music, she was instantly happy.
As a result, when it was late at night and the White Jade Building was quiet, Dong Xiaoyu could no longer hold it in and knocked on Lin Yi's door.
She had come in, but she didn't know what to do. When she died, she was only twenty years old and hadn't gotten married yet. She was a virgin. For decades after her death, she had been cultivating in the tomb. She could be said to be an otaku among ghosts. The feelings between men and women were as white as paper. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen in love with Lin Yi just because Lin Yi had lit incense for her and praised her for being beautiful.
"Miss Xiao Yu, why? Is there something you can't say?”Lin Yi looked at the stunned Dong Xiaoyu and asked softly.
"No, Young Master. I came to Young Master to repay your kindness.”Dong Xiaoyu's voice was soft and sweet. It was pleasant to hear, but it also had a kind of delicate feeling that made people want to take pity on her.
"Repay your kindness! Is it just because of those three incense sticks?" Lin Yi's words immediately made Dong Xiaoyu speechless.
"How could this be? Lin Yi! He knows I'm a ghost!"
Looking at the shocked Dong Xiaoyu, Lin Yi smiled and said,"Miss Xiaoyu, you don't have to be surprised. It's just that Miss Xiaoyu's appearance is too unforgettable. Although I only took a glance at the tombstone, Miss Xiaoyu's appearance has already been imprinted in my heart.”
Did this sound like something a human should say?
For a female ghost whose feelings were as simple as a piece of paper, Lin Yi's words were like a missile. It was so sweet that Dong Xiaoyu's heart was about to melt.
"Young master, you're too kind to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu isn't as good as young master says.”Dong Xiaoyu covered her face shyly, not daring to look at Lin Yi anymore.
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head."There's nothing that can't be said to others. Although it's a little rude to say this, I'm telling the truth. Miss Xiaoyu is indeed a pity.”
"Young Master Lin, do you really think so?”Dong Xiaoyu put down her small hand and looked into Lin Yi's eyes seriously, as if she was confirming whether Lin Yi was telling the truth or lying.
"Of course it's true. However, Miss Xiao Yu, if it's because of that one incense stick, then don't mention the words 'repaying kindness' anymore. It's only three incense sticks worth of time.”Lin Yi said with a smile.
Things had to be done gradually. This was the unchanging principle of doing things in the country. After all, there were only a few people who went straight to the point. If he wanted to keep Xiao Yu in the Spirit Taming Bracelet, he had to make Xiao Yu willing. Moreover, Lin Yi was not the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals.
"To Young Master Lin, this might not be considered a favor, but to Xiao Yu, this is a huge favor. Young Master is a cultivator, so you naturally know the importance of incense to us ghosts. If we don't have incense for a long time, we will slowly disappear from this world, especially for a lonely ghost like me.”
Yoho! Lin Yi had never thought of this.
Incense was indeed very important to ghosts and gods. No matter if they were ghosts or gods, if they did not have incense for a long time, their strength would decrease and they would slowly die.
Of course, the gods mentioned here were actually gods worshiped by humans, such as the River God, Mountain God, Earth God, and City God. Only when humans built their statues, offered incense, and knelt down to pray would the gods in the sky inject their divine thoughts into the statues, enjoy the incense, and ensure peace.
When people no longer worshipped them, they would leave, which was the so-called extinction.
But ghosts were different. Without incense and no one to offer sacrifices to them, they would disappear. They would really disappear.
This was because after a person died, their soul would return to the netherworld to be reincarnated. Those who could not reincarnate would naturally become lonely souls and wild ghosts. Lonely souls had no consciousness, but wild ghosts had consciousness. In order to not let themselves die, they would steal the incense of others to continue themselves and wait until the end of their lifespan to reincarnate.
Those who couldn't reincarnate were usually those who died a violent death or committed suicide. With resentment in their hearts and their lifespan not ending, their lifespan would turn into a Yin lifespan, and they could only slowly endure it.
(I don't remember where I saw this setting, or maybe Little Black came up with it himself, so I wrote it down. If you think it's wrong, just read it. After all, Little Black doesn't specialize in this, hehe.)）
"Uh, okay, then how are you going to repay the favor, Miss Xiao Yu?”Lin Yi looked at Dong Xiaoyu and asked with an unnatural expression.
She might have wanted to devote herself to him, but he wanted to take her in as a servant.
"If Young Master doesn't despise Xiao Yu and wants to marry her, I will accompany Young Master for a long time. When Xiao Yu's death is over, I will reincarnate.”Dong Xiaoyu lowered her head, her voice almost inaudible.
Even ghosts know how to be shy!
"Cough cough, that what Xiaoyu girl ah, you should know me is a Taoist person, my master is the current leader of Maoshan Sect, although I am not Maoshan Taoist, but Maoshan Sect commandments I still have to obey."”Lin Yi had already guessed that Dong Xiaoyu wanted to devote herself to him, but when he heard Dong Xiaoyu say it, he still felt strange.
Without waiting for Dong Xiaoyu to speak, Lin Yi cleared his throat and continued,"Mao Mountain's number one commandment is that good and evil are opposed to each other and will fight for life. Besides, humans and ghosts are different. It's not good for you or me if you're with me. Besides, if my master finds out about your existence, he won't give you any chance to explain yourself. He will kill you."”
This Lin Yi was not lying. Ninth Uncle had raised Lin Yi as his son. If Dong Xiaoyu stayed by Lin Yi's side, not only would it weaken Lin Yi's luck, but it would also absorb the Yang qi in Lin Yi's body. His full lifespan would also be reduced, not to mention bringing Mao Mountain to greater heights in the future.
Knowing Dong Xiaoyu's existence, Ninth Uncle would never let her go.
"But, Young Master, I really like you.”Dong Xiaoyu pleaded as if she was about to cry. She was so excited that she wanted to grab Lin Yi's arm.
However, just as she touched Lin Yi, a golden light emitted from Lin Yi's body. With a miserable cry, Dong Xiaoyu was sent flying and smashed heavily onto the bed.
