Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

Is this flute player a human or a ghost?

What was he doing here in the poplar forest in the middle of the night? Why are man-bears so afraid of him?

The sound of the flute sounds soft and melodious, but paired with the dark forest, it seems gloomy and terrifying, making one's hair stand on end!

At this time, Fatty, Gongsun Furong, and I were all staying in the tree. Gongsun Furong was trembling with fear. She hugged a poplar branch as thick as a bowl and kept dangling in the air. She was about to fall. .

It's not an option for us to stay in the tree all the time. Regardless of whether he is a human or a ghost, we will kill ghosts and gods without any risk.

So he jumped down from the tree.

At this time, we saw a little girl riding a cow slowly passing by us.

At this time, the wind blew away the dark clouds, and the bright moonlight exuded a pale halo, which looked strange.

This little girl was only seven or eight years old. Under the moonlight, her face was frighteningly white, with no trace of blood at all. You want to say that it's not that she's ugly, nor that she's good-looking. It's just a strange thing, but I can't tell where it is specifically.

This little girl walked up to me, waved the flute in her hand, and said in an old-fashioned way:

"You young people, I saved your lives, and you still don't kneel down and kowtow. How rude!"

I was amused by the little girl and said, "That man-bear was almost dead after being hit by two arrows from me. Why do you think you saved us?"

The little girl rolled her eyes at me and said, "If I hadn't driven it away with the sound of my flute, you wouldn't have been able to defeat it even if you had eight heads."

I said, "Son of me, are you wandering alone in the woods so late at night, aren't you afraid that a bear will eat you?"

The little girl got angry and said: "Who is the child? I am your aunt!"

I was happy again and said, "Auntie, why do you dare to go into this forest alone? Where are the adults in your family?"

The little girl said: "My dear grandson, your aunt and I are already eight hundred years old. Are we still afraid of walking at night?"

I was angry and funny, so I said, "Why do you love to take advantage of others so much? Be careful about peeing on the bed at night."

The little girl said: "You dare to talk to your aunt like this, I think you don't want to live anymore!"

As she spoke, her face became angry, and she looked directly at me.

I suddenly felt as if someone was strangling my neck, and the force was getting stronger and stronger. Gradually, I found it difficult to attract, my face turned red from holding back, and I felt like I was about to die.

Fatty slapped me hard on the back. I suddenly woke up, but I could still feel the burning pain in my neck. This little girl is very wise. She can kill me with just one look at me. I suddenly felt scared.

The fat man said: "He was just joking with you, why did you want him to die?"

The little girl sneered and said, "No one dares to make a mistake in front of me. This kid actually dares to make a big mistake with a small thing. I think he has had enough life."

The fat man said: "You are eight hundred years old and you still look like a little girl. You take good care of yourself. No wonder he misunderstood you."

The little girl is happy. It seems that no matter what age a woman is, as long as she is praised for her youth and beauty, she will be happy.

The little girl said: "You guys are really good at talking. Well, I won't kill you. You should get out of this forest quickly to avoid getting into trouble."

The fat man said: "I only want to ask you one question, how did the head of the Zheng family die?"

The little girl was surprised: "Who are you, the head of the Zheng family?"

The fat man said: "I am his grandson."

The little girl said: "Do you know who I am?"

The fat man said: "There are rumors in the world that there is a fox demon named Liu Sanniang who has been practicing for 800 years. She looks like a child. Her flute can capture the soul and kill people invisible. I think she must be you."

Liu Sanniang said: "Even if you still have some eyesight, it's no wonder that the Zheng family has been able to maintain its prestige in the world after the leader's accidents in recent years. It seems to be reasonable."

The fat man said: "Since you are practicing here, you must know about my grandfather."

Liu Sanniang's eyes flashed with fear, and she said: "This is not the place you should come, and your grandfather should not have come back then. He offended the messenger of the ghost realm, so he died tragically in this forest."

The fat man and I were surprised: "Messenger from the Ghost Realm?"

Liu Sanniang said: "Yes, as long as he appears, no one can survive. Your grandfather was not lucky back then."

The fat man said: "What on earth is going on?"

Liu Sanniang said: "I have been cultivating here for 800 years, but on the seventh day of July, I have to hide in the cave to avoid this day."

The fat man said: "The seventh day of July?"

Liu Sanniang said: "The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the day when the messenger from the ghost realm returns to the human world. If he is summoned on this day, if he touches him, he will definitely die, and he will be scared to death!"

Liu Sanniang sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I had a relationship with your grandfather once. When he was collecting medicine in the forest, I was bitten by a poisonous snake. He helped me apply herbal medicine to cure it. He was injured, but I was not able to save him that night, so I still feel very guilty."

The fat man said, "I can't blame you."

Liu Sanniang said: "We are really destined. I just helped you drive away the man-bear and saved your lives. It's even. I still advise you to leave here quickly, otherwise you don't know how you died."

The fat man said: "Tomorrow is the seventh day of July. I must see the true face of this messenger from the ghost realm. I want to ask him personally how my grandfather died!"

Liu Sanniang said: "People should listen to advice. If you have never seen the messenger from the ghost realm, you will not understand this kind of fear. You will be so scared that you don't want to be born at all."

The fat man said: "I would like to meet him. There is no one in this world who can scare me."

Liu Sanniang shook her head, with a look of helplessness on her face, and said, "Well, what is supposed to come will come. I have repaid your family's kindness. This matter is over. I wish you good luck."

After saying that, she sat down behind the cow again and played the melodious flute again, but this time the sound of the flute was a bit sad, making people want to cry.

At this time, the sky was already turning white, and it was dawn.
