134.Chapter 134: The Corpse Demon
Lao Dao said, this painting involves a man and a woman, and I don't know how many years have passed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The story is very clichΓ©, it is the story of a scholar and a rich lady.
The two families live very close, the scholar's family is poor, the lady's family is rich, and they are not the right family. But the scholar and the young lady are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, and as they get older, they gradually have feelings for secret, and they are privately determined for life.
Just like all the stories of scholars and young ladies, generally speaking, the scholar's family must have two parents dead and six relatives without support, and the young lady's family must have a father who is greedy for power and extremely obstructs the affairs of the two, and this is also the case in this story.
It's just that the scholars in this story are not like most scholars of the same kind, either high school champions and come back to marry a young lady, or they are forgetful and become a colt.
The scholar's ambition was very unambitious: he wanted to make money and become a wealthy businessman who was richer than the young lady's father.
In today's society, of course, it is young and promising, after all, this world is the supremacy of money. But at that time, it was a bit unprofessional.
At that time, people were divided into upper, middle, and lower streams, and in each stream, they were divided into nine streams, nominally 3927 schools, but in fact they included various industries at that time.
The upper nine streams say this: first-class Buddhas, second-rate immortals, third-rate emperors, fourth-rate officials, fifth-rate pots, sixth-rate dang, seven merchants and eight guests and nine Zhuangtian.
The middle nine streams are: first-class lifters, second-rate doctors, third-rate feng shui, fourth-rate batches, fifth-rate danqing, sixth-rate phases, seven monks, eight daos and nine qin chess.
The lower nine streams are: first-class witches, second-rate prostitutes, third-rate gods, fourth-rate bangs, five shaved heads and six blowers, seven operas and eight calls and nine selling sugar.
In this, the businessman is in the seventh place in the upper ninth rate, which is far inferior to the first place in the middle ninth rate, that is, the scholar, so ah, this young man's thinking is very strange.
As the so-called love is blind, the girl not only did not persuade the scholar, but was very supportive, and even took out her own gold and silver jewelry to give him as capital.
So, the two met on the night of the third watch, and the scholar found a ladder, climbed along the wall, and climbed to the lady's boudoir.
After the two of them lingered several times, he got up in his clothes, picked up the pen, and painted the last picture, and had decided to abandon the pen to engage in business and embarked on a road of no return.
And the young lady hung the painting on the window of the boudoir, and every day she frowned, thinking of the scholar.
Hearing this, I said that I could already guess the following plot: "In the end, the young lady was pregnant with the flesh and blood of a scholar, and she had no choice but to marry the son of a certain county magistrate and the prefect and give birth to a child." Twenty years later, the county magistrate died of tuberculosis, and the scholar was found by his son, and the family lived a happy life ever since. β
Lao Dao rolled his eyes at me: "Have you seen it?"
I:......!
Later, the scholar came back, but not only did he not lose so much that he didn't even have underwear, but he took ten carts of gold and silver treasures, rode a tall horse, and came to marry the young lady. Lao Dao said very proudly: "You guessed the beginning, but you didn't guess the ending, I didn't expect it, ahahaha."

I gave him a funny look and let him understand for himself.
Lao Dao also felt that his words and deeds were a little inappropriate, so he hurriedly coughed twice, restrained himself, and then said: "This thing is naturally happy for everyone, the two of them will worship and get married, Xin Fu lives happily together, and Miss's father also smiled from ear to ear, and he likes his son-in-law very much." β
The scholar soon spent a lot of money to renovate the house, enlarged the entire house more than tenfold, and even built a rockery pond in the courtyard, many wells, and some inexplicable pavilions. β
"The only fly in the ointment is that since the day the scholar arrived home, the young lady's mother, as well as several of her father's concubines, have fallen ill inexplicably, one by one has become yellow and thin, lying in bed every day, and even has no strength to stand up. β
"It's just that, after all, Miss is a person who has had a skin-to-skin relationship with the scholar, and I always feel that after the scholar comes back, something is wrong - although the demeanor and accent have not changed, but the scholar's body has a very strange smell, and the more it goes to night, the stronger the smell becomes, as if something rots!"
"Could it be that the scholar has contracted willow disease?" I asked.
I've heard people say that if you get certain diseases, your body will smell bad.
"Don't interrupt. Lao Dao was spitting and talking, and when he heard my question, he rolled his eyes: "And the scholar has a very strange behavior every night - in the third watch or so, he has to get up and take a bath." β
"Miss wondered at the time, why do you have to take three watches in the middle of the night every time you say that you don't take a shower early. So, one night, when the scholar got up again and went out to take a bath, she quietly got up and followed the scholar. β
Then I saw that the scholar squirmed and ran to the pool, stripped naked, and tore off his own human skin from his face! Under the moonlight, the scholar with his green fangs and red hair turned out to be a corpse demon!
The corpse demon soaked in the water, picked up the water, and poured it on his body, and every time he poured it, a piece of hair fell out!"
"It turns out that the real scholar has long been eaten by the corpse demon on the way to business, and now he is wearing the skin of a scholar, pretending to be a living person!"
As soon as Lao Dao said this, I also understood: no wonder after the corpse demon returned home, he wanted to build a large number of buildings and build a house, and that feeling was to set up a formation, gather evil and gather yin, and use it to maintain his own form.
Moreover, the reason why the female relatives in those houses are sick is obviously related to this formation, after all, the woman's body is born yin, and it is just borrowed.
It's just, why is Miss okay?
The young lady was frightened at the time, but fortunately the corpse demon was immersed in the moonlight and did not notice her.
She hurriedly pulled out her legs and ran, knocked on her father's door overnight, and stammered to her father: "Dad, it's not good, the scholar is a monster!"
Her father frowned and asked, "You say slowly, what kind of monster method is it?"
So, when the young lady calmed down, she told her father what she had just seen: "I...... I saw him with my own eyes, and he tore off his face, revealing a blue-faced fang!"
When her father heard this, he hurriedly asked her to be with her mother and closed the door, while he himself hurried out to gather a few young and strong subordinates and prepare to capture the monster.
Just when the young lady was trembling, she saw her mother get up from the bed, suddenly smiled at her, tore open her face, showed the green fangs under the skin, and asked her in a trembling voice: "What do you see, is it such a monster?"
