This Liao Zhai is not right

Author: No code in mind

Summary:

After traveling through the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio and replacing his predecessor as the land god of Baishui Village in Guobei County, Su Su's life became simple and unpretentious.

Seeking immortals and asking for longevity?

It’s better to lie down where you are and wait to be worshipped!

In his spare time, he would help a young girl who was desperate and persecuted by her stepmother, help the charity cemetery in the suburbs of Guobei County to collect the bodies of the innocent victims, and occasionally fight off the bandits who looted car convoys.

just.

The young girl persecuted by her stepmother turned out to be the ancient fairy Chang'e. It was said that marriage was predestined by heaven and the eleventh lady of Guanghan Palace would get married soon. The charity cemetery on the outskirts of Guobei County became the property of the underworld for Empress Jinse of Guyuan. The underworld praised Su Su's good business ability and considered recruiting a son-in-law to marry into the Dragon Palace. Even the caravan looted by mountain bandits hid a royal lady who escaped from the hands of the evil monk Guo Shi. They tried to persuade Su Su to cut wood into weapons and raise a pole as a flag to assist her in the northern expedition to Shuntian Prefecture to regain the throne, and even promised to share the world with Su Su as a reward.

All that’s missing is a fox fairy to come and repay the favor with her own body!

However......

Su Su looked at the figure in the bronze mirror, with bright eyes and white teeth, as beautiful as a lotus in clear water, yet naturally charming, "It turns out that the vixen is actually me. It's all right now."

There's something wrong with this Liao Zhai!

Volume One

Chapter 1 Fox Traces

The seventh day of the second month is the Waking of Insects.

The first thunder of spring sounded, and heavy rain fell.

As the saying goes: Spring rain is as precious as oil.

The arrival of a rare spring rain at the beginning of spring means that the probability of drought this year is greatly reduced. This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the villagers who have lived in Baishui Village for generations.

These years, the world is becoming increasingly difficult.

Even in Baishui Village, which is located in a remote area with little information, people could sense the coming of troubled times from rumors of the court's defeat in the north mentioned from time to time by foreign merchants, as well as from the increasingly heavy land taxes and more frequent conscription of corvee labor.

Not only that.

Nowadays, even demons and ghosts are more rampant than in previous years in causing harm to people.

Some time ago, four or five experienced herbalists from Guojia Village, west of the village, went into the mountains to collect herbs but were killed by monsters. Their hearts and livers were dug out, and their semen and blood were sucked out. Their deaths were extremely miserable and truly horrifying.

To this day, the farmers from Baishui Village who went to help collect the bodies still feel frightened when they recall the tragic scene that day.

Fortunately, the land of Baishui Village is spiritual.

Although not every request can be granted, the fact that these hundreds of families are sheltered in Baishui Village and can lead a normal life without being harmed by demons and monsters is something that cannot be found in the surrounding areas.

Except for popular county towns, or larger states, prefectures, and county towns that rarely have demons and monsters causing trouble due to their popularity, if you are not careful in the wilderness or mountains, you may be killed by demons and monsters, and if you are unlucky, you may not even be able to keep your body intact.

If it was a year of good weather and good harvest, they could have a better harvest, and after paying the land tax, they could have some surplus to eat a few full meals, so they wouldn't have to go to Mr. Huang's house at the village entrance to borrow money at high interest to make ends meet, and end up with their family broken up.

This is the biggest vision of the hundreds of households in Baishui Village.

However......

After a night of spring rain yesterday, the village’s land temple collapsed without any warning.

The villagers of Baishui Village's hope for a year of good weather and harvest was dealt a heavy blow before it even began.

"Grandpa, what should we do? The land temple was collapsed by the heavy rain, and even the statue of the land god was cracked."

"The land temple... collapsed? Hurry up and go to the Huang family at the village head to ask the village head to go to the land temple. Disaster is about to happen... This time disaster is really about to happen!"

"Ohh Ohh ohh......"

"Four or five people were just killed in Guojia Village in the west. Is it our turn in Baishui Village now?"

"Hurry up and pack your bags. We have to go to the county town to avoid disaster and come back later."

"..."

Just as the news that the land temple was collapsed by heavy rain spread in Baishui Village, everyone was in a state of panic.

Su Su woke up suddenly, his mind in a daze.

"I'm dead, right? When I was leaving the flea market near the community, an out-of-control car rushed onto the sidewalk..."

The memory was interrupted here. Su Su shook his head. In addition to the confused emotions in his mind, there was also a bit of bewilderment.

Looking around, Su Su found himself in the midst of a ruined area. Perhaps because of the heavy rain, the ground was muddy and there were large areas of muddy water in the low-lying areas.

The earthen walls that had been swollen and softened by water, the wooden beams that were old and rotten enough to break with a single move and lying crookedly on the ground, and the broken tiles all over the ground.

In the distance are scattered villages along the south bank of the river. As far as the eye can see, there are only low wooden houses and roads paved with thin stone slabs. There is no trace of modern civilization.

What on earth is this place?

And...how did the sight become so short?

Something was wrong, very wrong.

Looking at the dilapidated and strange environment around him, and the inexplicably shorter sight, he slowly lowered his head, and a pair of fluffy snow-white front paws without any other colors immediately came into his sight. Su Su suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"No... no way..."

My heart skipped a beat.

Subconsciously, he wanted to move, and the pair of furry white front paws in his sight stretched forward an inch under his incredulous gaze, obviously as if he was about to take a step.

My mind was suddenly in a mess.

Just then, he saw a pool of stagnant water not far away. Su Su couldn't wait to go forward. In the reflection of the slightly turbid water, his entire appearance appeared before his eyes.

The equally fluffy white ears, the dark eyes that looked like ink dots on the white snow, and the pointed face that looked like a melon seed made Su Fu's previous ominous premonition come true.

Not just traveling through...

I turned into a dog!

wrong.

Su Fu's dark eyes showed a trace of contemplation, "Dogs can't be so small, damn... I turned into a white fox!"

Of course, as human beings we have our limits.

But Su Su never dreamed that there would be a day in his life when he would turn from a human into a white-haired fox.

"What sins did I commit in my previous life? Now I can't even be a human being."

Despair. Su Su's mind was filled with nothing but despair.

"Why don't you see the head of the village?"

"When Mr. Huang learned that the land temple collapsed inexplicably, he immediately took his family and fled to the county town for refuge. I didn't even see him before I was driven out by the servants."

"Everyone in the village is saying that a monster entered the village last night, and the God of Land was also harmed by the monster!"

"How did the land temple collapse? Didn't you guys just watch it and let it collapse?"

"It rained heavily last night. Who would have thought... who would have thought that the land temple would collapse..."

"The corners of the temple are still there, and they haven't been soaked by the accumulated water. I don't think it's possible that the land temple was washed down by the rainstorm. Wang San, Wang San'er, your home is closest to the land temple. Didn't you hear any noise last night?"

"I...I heard thunder when I woke up last night. The land temple was all white, as if it was struck by lightning...Mr. Zhao said that the land temple was not collapsed by the heavy rain...Could it be that a demon was causing trouble?"

"Be careful!"

"Don't say this kind of thing casually, it will cause trouble."

The increasingly noisy voices diluted the despair in Su Su's mind.

Village head?

monster?

The land temple was struck by lightning?

Moving his feet to avoid the approaching voices, Su Su soon saw a skinny old man in his fifties with a blue face and a square scarf tremblingly squeezed into the ruins of the collapsed land temple.

Su Su noticed that he looked very panicked, as if the collapse of the land temple in front of him would have very serious consequences.

"Why don't we just pay to rebuild the collapsed land temple? No matter how tragic it is, can it be worse than a living person like me being hit and turned into a white-haired fox?" Su Su muttered in secret, "I opened my eyes and stood in the collapsed land temple. This matter should not have much to do with me. After all, I am just a white-haired fox, and I have nothing to do with the land god..."

As soon as the thought came to mind, a piece of cloth of simple style suddenly appeared before my eyes, covered with densely packed small characters.

This is a decoration that Su Su found at a flea market near the community. He originally planned to use it as a mouse pad, but things are unpredictable. Now Su Su's pair of plush, snow-white forefoot may never have the chance to use a mouse again.

"Hey, there was clearly no writing on this piece of cloth when I bought it."

Su Su's attention was attracted by the words on the cloth.

'The former land god, Guo Zhongdao, was struck by lightning and died due to the influence of the alien calamity. Now, the wandering soul of Baishui Village, Su Su, is temporarily taking over the post of land god of Baishui Village under the jurisdiction of Guobei County, Jichuan Prefecture.'

【Name: Su Su】

[Clergymanship: Temporarily taking over the land of Baishui Village under the jurisdiction of Guobei County, Jichuan Prefecture]

"..."

A long silence.

"You said that I, Su, turned into a fox after being hit and killed, which is fine, but how come I suddenly became the local god of Baishui Village? Does this make sense?"

"Normally, a fox's lifespan should only be eight to ten years, and its status is marked as dying. However, because I am the land god of Baishui Village, I have a hundred years..."

"A hundred years is indeed like near death for a god."

Before his wandering thoughts had ceased, the 'one hundred' marked behind the life span column on the cloth quietly changed to ninety-nine.

Su Fu's calm breathing suddenly stagnated, "Ah! One hundred seconds?"

Chapter 2 Do You Think I Am Like a God... or a Man?

who am I?

where am i from?

Where am I going?

Looking at the constantly changing words on the cloth, Su Su began to doubt his life.

At this time, how could Su Su not know that the white-haired fox he was possessed by was the alien creature that caused the former Baishui Village landowner Guo Zhongdao to be struck to death by lightning?

Judging from the current situation, this white-haired fox not only killed Baishui Village's former land god Guo Zhongdao, but it also failed to survive the calamity and died.

Therefore, Su Su, who came from another time, not only took over the village's former landownership, but also inexplicably replaced the priesthood of Guo Zhongdao, the former landowner of Baishui Village.

Needless to say, Su Su knew that what caused all this was the strange cloth with constantly changing words in front of him.

"What on earth is this piece of cloth?"

Su Su had a headache.

Turning his eyes to the writing on the cloth, he found that there was more to worry about.

Temporarily take over the land of Baishui Village under the jurisdiction of Guobei County, Jichuan Prefecture.

Guobei County......Guobei County......Guobei County......

Even though Su Su had never been to this place, he knew that there was a Lanruo Temple outside Guobei County.

"If this is from Liao Zhai, doesn't that mean I still have a chance to transform from a fox into a human?"

Among the stories recorded in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, it is not uncommon for monsters to transform into humans to repay favors or take revenge. This shows that it is not too difficult for monsters to transform in this world.

But looking at the decreasing number in the lifespan column on the cloth, Su Su felt that the most urgent task now was to prolong his life.
