Three Times Reincarnation

If possible, I really don't want to bring another nuisance-ahem, no, Fellow Daoist is on his way.

Unfortunately, the situation was better than Yu Di.

Jing Yao said that he also followed the sect's name and went down the mountain to train. Everyone had something to take care of. I couldn't refuse her for this reason, so I could only accept it under Hu Meng's strange gaze.

I thought that since I had finally made it to a place where I could rest, it would be worthwhile to go sightseeing and have some snacks.

He said that he wanted to go out with Hu Meng to see if there were any "demons" to be eliminated. Who knew that he would insist on going with her, so he had no choice but to add a "tail".

Speaking of which, perhaps this town was near the sea, although the place was not big, there were quite a few stalls on the street, many of them selling small bead earrings, small shell necklaces, candied fruits, candy, fried chestnuts and other snacks.

I wandered around with Hu Meng. She had set her eyes on a string of pearl bracelets while I had set my eyes on a pair of pearl earrings. Just as she was about to offer a price, she suddenly heard someone from behind us ask confidently: "Do you know? "The Jiang family on the east side of town is making a ruckus again!"

This topic was quite new. I looked at Hu Meng, and simultaneously put down what we were doing and listened attentively.

"Hurry up and tell us, don't keep us in suspense!"

"Cough, don't be in such a hurry. Listen to me explain in detail." Do you remember young master Jiang? "

"Who doesn't know? "Speaking of which, that young master Jiang is really lucky to have a rich father who never worries about food or clothing. He even married a beautiful lady more than a year ago. I'm so envious of her!"

"Hehe, beautiful lady? In my opinion, it's more like a mother yaksha or a life reaping demon! "

"What?" "What do you mean?"

"You don't know? Several maidservants had died in the Jiang manor recently. However, the news was kept a secret, so no one else knew about it. But I heard that the deaths of these maids were all related to that young mistress! "

"Yo, how did you know about such an important piece of news?"

"The aunt of the second cousin of the third young lady in my first uncle's family was the one who managed the kitchen shopping in the Jiang manor. She intentionally leaked the news to let me know and even warned me not to go to the manor when I had nothing to do. If I see Young Lady Jiang's palanquin pass outside, I should avoid it …"

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard someone call out, "Young Mistress Jiang's sedan chair is coming!"

In an instant, the crowd that had formed a circle to chat immediately dispersed. Even the hawkers who were setting up stalls turned to the alleyways on both sides of the street. Only Hu Meng and I, as well as Fellow Jing Yao and the other two were left standing by the side of the street in a daze.

With a light creaking sound, a soft palanquin appeared at the end of the street, and soon arrived before us. After the palanquin landed on the ground, a woman dressed in plain clothes walked out. She was in her twenties, with a pretty face and a demure demeanor.

"Fellow Daoists, thanks for the gift, Liniang."

I looked to my left and saw Hu Meng looking curiously at the approaching person. I looked to my right and saw Fellow Jing Yao raising his chin without saying a word. I knew that this spokesperson's hard work had once again fallen on his head.

Thus, he resigned himself to fate, cleared his throat, and smiled as he asked: "I am Qing Yin, do you have any advice for me?"

"I don't deserve to be taught." Liniang raised her sleeves to cover her mouth as she chuckled, her eyes flashing with a sense of elegance. "It's inconvenient to speak here. Could you please condescend to move to my husband's residence for a chat?"

Actually, I can't make up my mind about that.

Looking to the left, Hu Meng nodded and looked to the right. Jing Yao had no objections and said with a smile, "Then I'll be troubling you."

In the eyes of mortals, the Jiang manor was huge.

However, to cultivators like us, the Jiang manor is only half a circle away on a cloud.

Liniang led us through the back door and through the garden to a quiet courtyard.

At the beginning, every part of the courtyard looked extremely beautiful, but after a few more glances, it was not hard to discover that this courtyard had not been cleaned for a long time. Ash was everywhere, and fallen leaves were everywhere.

"I'm truly sorry for neglecting your three esteemed guests."

Liniang pushed open the door. It was the same inside.

He frowned as he glanced at the door, gently waving his sleeves as if there was a breeze blowing by. When he looked again, he saw that it was much cleaner than before — — Okay, this was my mistake, the Qilin clan loved cleanliness the most.

After settling into my seat, I resigned myself and spoke again. "Liniang, what is it?"

The plain-clothed woman smiled faintly and then knelt on the ground in great ceremony, "As soon as the distinguished guests have entered the town, Liniang has already known about it. Liniang doesn't ask for anything else but to ask for your esteemed guests, for the sake of our fellow cultivators who did not come easily, to lend a hand. "

I sighed in my heart. It's just a favor, but it can be big or small. Although this person doesn't seem to have any evil intentions at first sight, just what is she planning?

"Then how do you want us to help?"

"Please, my three esteemed guests, kill me in front of my husband."

Her words were light, but they left me speechless.

Why was it that he'd come across all of these ridiculous things along the way?

He had never heard of anyone who wanted to have a baby, such as the trio of Hu Liu ladies from before. However, it was his first time seeing one who wished to die.

Liniang seemed to understand what I was thinking. She raised her head with a gentle smile, "I believe the three esteemed guests have already noticed that Liniang was originally a pear. It was a chance encounter several hundred years ago that allowed her to cultivate into a human form." She paused, "Three years ago, I descended the mountain and came to this small town, coincidentally saving my husband's life … And then we were married. "

"After we got married, we also loved each other for a while, but it was a pity that it didn't last long. Because I didn't leave home for a long time, my mother-in-law from far away in the capital used this as a reason to get my husband to divorce the daughter of a high official."

There was no hesitation in her words, nor was there any fluctuation in her emotions. It was as if she was telling a story from someone else. I thought for a moment and asked, "Since that's the case, why don't you go with the flow?"

Liniang was lost in thought for a while before she smiled and said, "At first, it was Darling who was unwilling."

Oh? This was rather interesting.

"And then?" Hu Meng, who had been quietly listening, couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

"My husband specifically went to the capital to convince his mother-in-law. When he returned, he did not persist. He only said that if I could ask myself to go down the hall, he would not pursue the matter." Liniang tilted her head slightly, her black hair falling down, as if trying to cover the sorrowful expression on her face. "At that time, I was in a good mood and had a huge argument with him. Only now did he realize that when his husband entered the capital, he had bumped into a Daoist priest. That Daoist priest had said that he had demonic Qi on him, so if he didn't want to go to the source of the demonic Qi, then his husband wouldn't have lived for more than three years. Moreover, these words were somehow found out by her mother-in-law. She insisted that I was the demon that harmed people … "

Hearing this, I couldn't help but admire her. This mother-in-law has quite the prophetic ability.

"My husband said that he should have brought the Taoist to catch the demon, but considering our relationship, as long as I leave on my own, he'll pretend nothing happened." Liniang calmly finished narrating the last point, then raised her head to look over, "Liniang knows that this request is rude, but I hope the three esteemed guests can consider that we came from the same source … Auxiliary Liniang, this time. "

This is all a basket of strange things-- I was speechless.

"Why don't you leave by yourself? If you want us to kill you, does this count as helping you? To us, it has been a result of our viciousness. " In the end, Hu Mengxin was the one who asked the biggest question in my mind.

The woman in plain clothes who was kneeling on the ground chuckled, "Life is like a play. Liniang just wants to see it. Husband's heart …" Just how vicious can they be? " When she said those last few words, her voice was even more shaky.

— In that case, she didn't really want to die.

I sighed. "So what if I know?"

"To sever the threads of affection, and henceforth focus on the Dao."

I scratched at my hair. "Really?"

"Liniang swears to the heavens that she has no other intentions."

"Alright then … "Then where is your husband now?"

Actually, since we entered the mansion, we haven't seen a single servant girl. I felt that it was a bit strange, if it wasn't for the fact that this Liniang didn't have a bloody aura around her, I would have believed the rumors I heard from the streets. He had asked this question just to confirm his suspicions – apart from Liniang, there was probably no one else in the Jiang manor. Even the servants who had carried the palanquin just now were created by Li Niang using paper talismans. It seemed that young master Jiang had hardened his heart to chase Liniang away.

"My husband?" A trace of ridicule appeared in Liniang's eyes, "He is currently staying in the town's red house."

I thought about it. "Let's think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

Liniang lowered her head, her expression unclear. "Thank you."

After exiting the Jiang manor, Hu Meng tugged on my sleeve and asked, "Sis, what is a red house?"

I was at a loss for words, not knowing how to answer. I had my suspicions, but they had not been confirmed. After hesitating for a long time, I replied, "Anyway, we will go there sooner or later to see what exactly is going on. When the time comes, you will know."

Unexpectedly, Jing Yao, who was always following behind us, changed his expression and said in a deep voice, "You can't go."

These words were a little strange. Where else in the mortal world can't we, the little demons, go? Even in the palace, as long as it did not touch the True Dragon Qi, it would be fine.

I turned around and looked at him with some surprise. "Dao Friend Jing Yao, this …"

"Jing Yao." The man in black seemed somewhat gloomy and his tone was heavier than usual. He then said seriously, "Anyway, you can't go to that place."

When he said this, Hu Meng immediately pouted and tugged my sleeve back and forth. Look at my posture, if I didn't open my mouth, my poor sleeve would be separated from my clothes.

I coughed lightly and asked tentatively, "Jing Yao?"

"There's no need to bring this up again."

I was not discouraged, so I asked, "What's wrong with the red house? Why don't you tell us first?" Thinking for a moment, he added in a low voice, "That Liniang must be quite pitiful. She was abandoned by her husband just like that …" We're just trying to help her, is that really impossible? "

I looked at him wistfully as I spoke.

Jing Yao only glanced at me once before quickly turning his head away. After a long time, he said, "If you really want to go to that place …." I have to be with you. "

"Of course."

After all, I am a natural steward, so adding one more fish wouldn't be a problem.
