Part-Time Taoist Priest

Xie Lingya didn't speak, just smiled at Hai Guanchao.

Hai Guanchao was a little hairy from the laughter, "You... show some respect to your elders."

Xie Lingya said innocently: "Brother, I'll just have fun."

Hai Guanchao didn't connect Xie Lingya's smile with his own words until now, because he really didn't think it was funny, "You are as happy as being possessed, don't scare me!"

Xie Lingya stopped teasing him, picked up the weasel, and said, "Look at you, you are not willing to talk properly. This is a lesson for you, go back and retire."

He opened the window a crack and pushed the weasel out.

The weasel looked at them unwillingly. After all, it is too difficult for non-human beings to cultivate. It finally got the climate it has today, but it can only helplessly disappear among the loess and rocks.

Xie Lingya carried the unconscious girl to the front desk again, and said that she was found fainted when she entered the room, probably because she fainted while working.

At this moment, the girl also woke up. She stayed there for two seconds, then said in horror, "Weasel! It's a weasel!"

"What kind of weasel, Xiaojuan, you are confused." The colleague touched her face, "I'd better go to the hospital for an examination, she fainted out of nowhere."

The girl's memory is a little fuzzy, but she remembers the strange, human-like expression of a weasel before she lost consciousness, both startled and frightened, "I, I didn't... I really saw it..."

"Beauty, are you too tired and hallucinating? I didn't see any weasel." Xie Lingya comforted me a few words, and then said, "We have a doctor who took the pulse and said there is no major problem. , It’s just a bit empty, maybe it’s because of this that you’re in a trance, and you won’t take it to heart if you drink some hot tea and eat some hot food.”

The girl looked at Xie Lingya in confusion, and murmured: "I seem to be hugging someone..."

Xie Lingya almost couldn't hold back her blushing, she didn't expect that she still had a vague feeling, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, maybe you felt it because I carried you on my back, but I'm very honest!"

The girl blushed, and was immediately embarrassed to mention this matter, and ate some food with the help of her colleagues.

Seeing that she was fine, Xie Lingya went back. He thought that this matter would be left as it is. The old weasel should already know the difference in strength and dare not cause trouble.

However, Xie Lingya still underestimated the stubbornness and revenge of the weasel.

After two days, they finished their training and were about to climb the peak.The trainer asked them which side of Mount Jade Everest they wanted to send them off, Xie Lingya smiled and said nothing, the head of the trainer called him, saying that he had made his own arrangements.

Before dawn that day, the four of them packed their bags and set off.

Every few hours, stop to rest and eat something to replenish calories.Hai Guanchao even massaged Fang Zhe's legs and feet, which means that Fang Zhe can endure hardships, and normal people may not be able to endure this matter.

Xie Lingya took out the portable windproof stove, found a flat place to put it, and planned to get something hot to eat.

While the fire was being lit, Xie Lingya heard small movements, he looked up, but there was nothing there, "Did you hear any movements?"

The other three sat a little further away, and Hai Guanchao was massaging Fang Zhe again, all shaking their heads.

Full of suspicion, Xie Lingya continued to light the fire, and took out the container and food from his backpack.

It was rare for Liu Lingtong to lose his temper, "Ah, weasels are really annoying."

Xie Lingya woke up all of a sudden, it wasn't his illusion, the voice was really made by a weasel?That guy has been abolished, can he still keep up?

Xie Lingya stood up and looked around, but there were rocks everywhere, and the weasel could not be discerned from them.He had no choice but to continue to do his own thing, and cooked it for everyone to eat.

Because he was thinking about it, Xie Lingya kept paying attention to his surroundings. When he heard the sound again, he suddenly looked over. It was a half-sized weasel standing next to the backpack, looking like it wanted to steal it secretly.

Xie Lingya could tell that this was by no means the old weasel they had taken care of before, it was definitely its descendant, probably from the same family.

Well, I couldn't take revenge, so I sent the younger generation to make trouble, what if the people on this mountain took away all their food.Xie Lingya smashed a rock, drove the weasel away, pulled back the backpack, and hugged Brother Pheasant.

Others also saw this scene, Hai Guanchao said worriedly: "It doesn't matter, if it really causes trouble..."

"Whatever, I'll run after it, maybe I can catch up with it." Xie Lingya sat down and said sullenly, "It's okay, they can only follow."

At night, the four of them set up two double tents. Xie Lingya sprinkled cinnabar around the tent, drew talismans with stone slabs, stuck them in the soil, and said with satisfaction, "Okay, you don't have to be afraid when you sleep. If you dare to come, I invite you." You eat the meat of the thunder-splitting weasel."

It was even colder in the mountains at night, Xie Lingya and Shi Chang hung up a tent, tucked into sleeping bags, and it was much better to have a tent to block the wind, with the backpack and brother pheasant beside them.

After climbing the mountain for a whole day, everyone was tired, Xie Lingya squirmed to his face, kissed him and then fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Xie Lingya was startled suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he opened his eyes, only to hear the whimpering sound of animals in the night wind.Yes, it was crying, thin, kind of human, but definitely not.

There's no end to it, and you cry if you can't get in?

Xie Lingya saw that Shi Changxuan was still sleeping, and Brother Pheasant was resting his head on the ground, trembling, Xie Lingya got out, ready to educate the little weasel.

Opening the entrance of the tent, Xie Lingya felt his scalp tingle and goose bumps all over his body as soon as he poked his head out.

In front of his tent, there were at least eighty or ninety weasels squatting densely, their eyes glowing faintly, and they looked up at him very neatly.

This staring made Xie Lingya extremely uncomfortable, and he never expected that there were not only one weasel following them, there were so many of them, it seemed that he only discovered one of them.

These weasels couldn't get close to their tent, so one weasel started to cry. After seeing Xie Lingya, the crying didn't stop, but became louder and louder. The other three woke up too.

This weird weasel cry scared Hai Guanchao into a cold sweat. He didn't dare to look out of the tent, and held on to Fang Zhe's arm tightly.

Fang Zhe patted him twice, "It's okay."

If you are timid, you will not be able to be the successor of "Book of Luban", and you will not be able to play with Xie Lingya since childhood.Both he and Xie Lingya belonged to the kind of people who could stand fear.

Fang Zhe got up and looked around, and saw a cloud of weasels outside, crying loudly, and felt a little cold.

This is not letting them have a good rest.

Fang Zhe frowned and said, "I can't fight hard, is it interesting for you to pester me like this?"

The weasels probably thought that it would be our pleasure not to touch you, and to make you unhappy, so they cried more vigorously, and the sound of whimpering was blown farther by the mountain wind, floating in the night, and normal people probably wouldn’t be scared when they heard it Even death is scary.

"I'm really sleepy, don't tell them." Xie Lingya gestured to Zhe, and Zhe understood, and everyone went back into the tent again.

Xie Lingya took out two pairs of earplugs from his bag and handed a pair to Shi Changxuan. Once the two put on the mute earplugs, the whole world became quiet—these high-quality mute earplugs, together with the eye mask in the backpack, were all for They were prepared for the journey, they had to ride in a bumpy car for so long, Xie Lingya brought these for the sake of quality of rest, but he didn't expect to use them after going up the mountain.Although Brother Pheasant couldn't wear the earphones, Xie Lingya put it in his sleeping bag and covered it, and he felt better immediately.

Seeing that Xie Lingya didn't come to beat them, the weasels outside saw that Xie Lingya didn't come to beat them, but endured silently. They felt a little bit of joy of victory, and at the same time they barked louder. They must let these humans not have a good rest.

It wasn't until early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight fell, that the weasels shut up hoarsely and contentedly.

……

Xie Lingya woke up naturally after sleeping, and said hello to the others. Although the camping conditions were not that good, compared with the quarrel between the weasels last night, he felt more comfortable.

Xie Lingya took out the mute earbuds and put them away, thinking in his heart that there are so many weasels, he can't kill them all, and if he does, it will only attract more weasels to retaliate.It seems that there is a reliable way to get rid of them.

Here, Xie Lingya hadn't figured out a way yet, as they climbed higher and higher, the weaker ones of those weasels couldn't stand it, and they "left behind" visibly with the naked eye.From time to time, one would come out of its hiding place, glance at Xie Lingya faintly, then turn around and walk down the mountain.

And as the mountain became steeper and steeper, the environment was harsh, there was no grass growing, and there was no place to hide. These weasels were not far or near behind, and those who didn't know it thought they were sent by thousands of miles away.

Xie Lingya couldn't bear the hoarse cry of those weasels who had no choice but to turn their heads due to exhaustion, and said loudly, "You guys, you should go back! Don't send it off!"

other people:"……"

weasel:"……"

Xie Lingya said in a low voice, "I dare not say that we were wearing earphones last night, for fear of pissing them off."

Hai Guanchao couldn't bear to look straight at him, "Come on, I don't think you will care if they continue to howl tonight."

Xie Lingya: "Yeah."

In the evening, there were only a few dozen weasels left, and they continued to follow the four of them tenaciously, showing hatred from time to time because of fatigue, and the resentment probably deepened during the climb.

These weasels tried their best to give them a hard time, but it was a pity that they were the only ones who got tired in the end.

Xie Lingya was trying to find a flat place to pitch his tent, but a weasel picked up a stone and threw it at him.

"Die, fellow!" Xie Lingya rushed a few steps over there to scare it, the weasel jumped back, and was so frightened that its foot slipped and fell.

Xie Lingya laughed loudly, and walked over to continue to scare it, but saw a rather large lake under a gentle slope behind the stones.The lake is clean, calm and blue.

"...It's pretty nice." This mountain lake is extremely beautiful, and the ground beside the lake is flat and not soft. Xie Lingya took a fancy to this place, ignored the weasel, and called others over.

"This lake is so beautiful, like a whole piece of blue ice." Hai Guanchao also said a few words with emotion. Living in the city, it is rare to see such a beautiful scenery.

It was getting dark soon, and Xie Lingya was very interested in inviting everyone to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise by the lake. Although this is not the top of the mountain, it must be a special experience.

At night, the weasels huddled together for warmth and glared at them.

While feeding Brother Pheasant, Xie Lingya said: "Fellow townspeople, you didn't bring much dry food, you better go down the mountain, don't follow us, or I will figure out how to drive you away, it's the same, and you will suffer for nothing. "

The weasels stared at him with the same hatred, and their hearts would not die until the Yellow River.

Xie Lingya pursed his lips in boredom, fed the rooster and ate by himself.

At night, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, Xie Lingya set up the talisman array, got into the tent, put on the earphones, the world was quiet and natural.

When he thought of getting up to watch the sunrise tomorrow, he felt that he was really a romantic object, and he took time to date, thinking about it, and slowly fell asleep.

……

Xie Lingya was sleeping soundly, when something scratched his chest suddenly, he woke up in pain, and saw that Brother Pheasant was scratching himself with his claws like crazy, he suspected that he was bleeding.

"What are you doing!" Xie Lingya was afraid that Brother Pheasant would be scared by the weasel again, so he took off his earphones, but there was no weasel crying outside.

"Whoa!!" Brother Pheasant's voice became more and more frantic, and he became deaf when he took off the earphones.

Xie Lingya had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't believe that those weasels could still break through his formation. He quickly opened the tent to look, his expression changed instantly, he almost crawled out of the sleeping bag, and pushed hard Shi Changxuan went to the next door to wake up Fang Zhe and Hai Guanchao.

"What's wrong?" Fang Zhe asked confusedly.

"Let's go! This lake is going to swell!" Xie Lingya said urgently.

I saw that the originally calm mountain lake was soaring at an extremely fast speed, and it was only a few meters away from where they were!

At such a thrilling moment, everyone bent down and rolled up their luggage and sleeping bags in a messy manner, but at this moment, the water overflowed to their feet!

The feeling of bone-chilling cold made Xie Lingya startled, he ran up the chicken with his things on his shoulders, and had to tug on Fang Zhe from time to time.

When they climbed to the gentle slope, they looked back and saw that the lake had not only risen much, but the original gentle slope had disappeared.

Xie Lingya put the things on the ground and sat on the ground slumped, sleepless and cold all over. When he looked to the side, he saw a slightly higher stone, where the weasels were squatting and staring at them...

Xie Lingya felt a chill.

Could it be that these weasels were supposed to lure him there? If it wasn't for Brother Pheasant, this would have been a disaster.

Fang Zhe was still in shock, staring at the lake and said, "How could this happen! Why is this lake still rising??"

"It should be because of the special geology. Haven't you watched TV? I have seen similar examples before. The lake water disappeared or reappeared overnight. Just looking at the environment by the lake, it does not seem to be often soaked in water, which proves that the cycle of lake water rise is relatively Long." Hai Guanchao was still calm, and analyzed, "We...are unlucky."

"What bad luck, I saw that the lake was followed by the weasel." Xie Lingya said, "They are sensitive, they must know that the water in the lake has changed."

When he said that, everyone looked at those weasels again.He didn't take them seriously at first, but now he felt chills in his heart. It seemed that he couldn't underestimate any opponent!

"No, I can't let them follow me anymore." Fang Zhe said after making up his mind.

Xie Lingya was about to agree, but he saw those weasels jumping off the rocks and sprinting down the mountain as if desperately. In the vast night, they couldn't see clearly in a blink of an eye.

"You don't know we're going to do it?" Xie Lingya glanced suspiciously.

Hai Guanchao's teeth chattered suddenly, "Xie, Mr. Xie...Look..."

Xie Lingya looked back, his eyes widened, and there were many figures appearing in the lake after the skyrocketing, walking towards this side stiffly.

Looking around, I don't know how many there are, Xie Lingya's flashlight shines over, and the figures are arranged neatly, approaching this direction.Their faces were blue-gray, with a layer of frost, and the pain was frozen on their faces, which made people tremble.

It was already cold enough on the mountain, and I could already see the snowy boundary line on the top of the mountain, but seeing these guys, I just felt colder on my body.

Moreover, they seemed to have noticed the four of them, and those standing in the front row stared straight at them.

"...How come there are so many dead souls in the mountains." With so many dead souls, it's no wonder that the weasel couldn't avoid it. Xie Lingya said before he could think clearly, "Hide!"

When he said hiding, of course he didn't mean looking for a place to drill like a weasel.

Needless to say, Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan, Fang Zhe grabbed Hai Guanchao and recited a mantra: "Three souls in the palm of the left hand, seven souls in the palm of the right hand. Tens of thousands of evil masters can't find it. I sincerely invite the six stars of the Southern Dipper and the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, and I will obey the orders of the Supreme Lord!"

Fang Zhe first hides in the sea to watch the tide, and then hides himself.The four of them hid their bodies, and they were nowhere to be found in the eyes of the ghosts.

But at this time, the dark ghosts had already stepped forward, and Xie Lingya could see them more clearly. They had long hair, armor on their bodies, and weapons in their hands, just like an army.

These ghosts are spinning around the lake in a daze, circling in circles, not knowing where they want to go.

"They're trapped here." Xie Lingya could tell at a glance that these were dead ghosts who couldn't be reincarnated and couldn't leave the place where they died.

Xie Lingya felt a chill when he thought of the soaring lake water just now. These soldiers must have drowned or froze to death in their sleep.

At this time, the ghosts realized again that they could not leave this place, and began to cry softly at the moon, a loud cry that was more frightening than the cry of the weasel.

They wandered by the lake in vain, and they didn't know how long they had been trapped in this cold and desolate place.

Xie Lingya couldn't bear to see it, and lifted the hiding method.

The surrounding soldiers stopped in their tracks and looked over in unison.

One of the ghosts regained consciousness slightly and asked, "Who is it?"

He has a peculiar accent, which can only be discerned vaguely. After all, it is an ancient ghost who has died and has been in this remote place without knowing any changes.

Xie Lingya: "Uh..."

How to explain it, he looked at the ignorant look of this ghost, and always felt that he couldn't understand what he said.

The ghost said again: "You are not from here." He said abruptly, "I can't get out of here, can you help me take a message home?"

Xie Lingya asked, "Where are you from?"

The ghost became confused again: "I can't go back, can you bring me a letter?"

He repeated this sentence over and over, with the first half being the most frequent.Just imagine, Xie Lingya and the others still came up by car. In the past, even that journey could only be done on foot. The distance was long and the snow-capped mountains were difficult.

The other ghosts didn't seem to be good at talking, they just stared at this stranger, even though they were staring at Xie Lingya, but the other three were inevitably taken care of, Hai Guanchao's legs were weak, and he covered his face and said, "What is this for... ..."

Shi Changxuan also unlocked the hiding method, and stood with Xie Lingya, "Let's call the Yin soldiers here to ask."

The consciousness of these ghosts is very vague, they only have simple obsessions, and they can't get anything out of them.

Xie Lingya also had the same idea, he stared at so many direct and cold gazes, and had a thought in his mind to promote the City God and seal, and attract the gods and warriors of the Yin Temple.

After a while, a powerful warrior came upon summoning and bowed his hands to Xie Lingya, "Master."

As soon as the wrestler came, those soldiers stopped approaching, but they still stared at this side.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask, how come there are so many ghosts who cannot be reincarnated here?" Xie Lingya asked.

The Lishi quickly replied: "I only know a little about this, I'm just a ghost of the Qing Dynasty, and I'm still too young."

Xie Lingya: "..."

God damn is too young.

Xie Lingya: "Tell me."

The Lishi coughed and said: "The tens of thousands of souls are the army of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty dispatched troops to conquer Xiaobolu and had to cross the snow-capped mountains. After Xiaobolu was breached, the army returned and obeyed a If the little Bolu was captured, he was stationed here. Every ten years, the lake rises for three days and then recedes. That day is the time when the water rises. Moreover, the snow fell here on that day. That night, almost all the soldiers were killed in their sleep. The lake was submerged and froze to death. They sank at the bottom of the lake, lingered at the bottom of the lake, and climbed up from time to time, trying to return to Datang. Only once in ten years can they come out of the water, but they have never been able to leave a radius of ten miles."

The four of them were fascinated. It turned out that what they encountered was the army that was trapped and died here thousands of years ago. Are they looking for the way back to their homeland...

However, time has passed and the situation has changed, and Datang is long gone.

Even Xiao Bolu has long since ceased to exist, and became part of Datang a few years after that war.

No matter Datang or Xiaobolu, they have long been annihilated in the long river of history.The lives of tens of thousands of people can't afford to splash too much water. Later generations don't know where these snow-capped ghosts come from.

Xie Lingya suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What about the captives?"

Lishi said: "The Bolu people are hardy and have escaped a lot. Only a hundred people were buried here with them, but the number is too small for you to see." It only came out once, and no one has discovered it for thousands of years, and even if someone discovered it, it would be impossible for so many dead souls to be rescued by one person."

So many years have passed, the army and the captives have been looking forward to going home for too long, and time will wear away their souls. Now they can only cry, and they can only look for the way they can never go back.

"By the way, some dead people told me that the purpose of the Great Tang expedition was to plunder, and some dead people told me that it was because Xiao Bolu snatched tribute and was ambitious with other countries... I don't know the specific reason, mage, I need to find a senior Come to ask carefully?"

Xie Lingya murmured: "No need, I'll send them to the underworld directly, even if there is any crime in life, if you want to decide who is right and who is wrong, you can still be judged by the underworld... The snow mountain is too cold, they have been frozen for thousands of years. "

When it comes to the cause of the war, it cannot be determined by any of the dead souls present.Even if there is right or wrong, both parties should go to the Yin Division earlier, the millennium is too long.

"Master Gao Yi!" The strong man saluted quickly, and said implicitly, "It's just...there are tens of thousands of souls here, and several mages may not be able to save all of them, or can they choose some of them first?"

Everyone: "...hehe."
