How to break into Liaozhai

Trees, flowers and plants cultivate, compared with animals, they have the inherent advantages of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and not being killed. Therefore, there may not be animals that become refined in deep mountains and old forests, but there must be plants that become refined.

But at the same time, there are also disadvantages, that is, the real body is firmly fixed on the ground and restricted to the place where it grows, and there are great disadvantages when the yin spirit goes out of the body, for example, if you don't return to the body within a certain period of time, you will die and die .

As a thousand-year-old tree demon, grandma still can't get rid of this restriction. When the world was created, the gods had already set up a set of operating rules. There is no species in the world that can take the lead. People who are the spirit of all things are prone to fall into the seven emotions and six desires. Being unable to extricate oneself is the biggest shortcoming of cultivation.

She watched helplessly as this group of ants-like humans cut off her canopy and dug out her roots, but she was powerless. She roared: "Wei, you wait for me!"

For the first time, the culprit who framed her in the people's dream was doubtful, but this time, she was sure that it was the county magistrate surnamed Wei, who used his identity as an official to claim that the locust tree cured his disease, and asked the people in the whole city to come and harm her. , it's all him, it's all this person!

Grandma shook the branches, uttered a whine like the sound of the wind, and cast a vicious look at Wei Zhixian.

-

After Wei Xingxian recovered, every family took the uncle, nephew or tree root of the pagoda tree. It is strange to say that the pagoda tree can cure the plague. It was originally made up by Wang Rui, but from the results, it seems to be true. Weizhi County recovered after taking the branches. and the people in the whole city never heard of anyone who got the plague.

The plague of fear was cut off as soon as it had a sign. Wang Rui couldn't figure out what was going on. In the end, he could only comfort himself by saying that this is Liao Zhai, and everything is possible.

Grandma was cured until she was half dead, and it was only a matter of time before she died completely. Now that Wei Xingxian's illness has recovered, the only thing that needs to be done is to let Nie Xiaoqian enter reincarnation.

After a series of strange incidents, Wei Xingxian did not dare to question Wang Rui's claim that the City God had ghost messengers.

The incense in the Chenghuang Temple in Yangxin County is very ordinary, mainly because the Chenghuang does not do anything most of the time, and enjoys the incense for nothing.

The slackness of the low-level folk gods has given the evil gods and monsters a loophole to take advantage of. Anyway, they have to contribute incense, so it is better to worship those who respond to requests.

Wang Rui asked the servants to carry the pig's head and fine wine, while Wei Xingxian put Nie Xiaoqian's ashes in a box to avoid the sun, and went all the way to the Town God's Temple.

The statue of City God stood in front of him, Wei Xingxian looked at Wang Rui, which meant that Wang Rui made up his mind to act.

Wang Rui saw that He Yun prayed to the sky, first put the pig's head and wine and meat on the table like a gourd painting, and then bent down and said in his mouth: "God of the city, I was worshiped by the junior. Today there is a poor girl Nie Xiaoqian living in the world. I hope the City God will show kindness and send her to the place where she should go, this little gift is not a respect."

After finishing speaking, he glanced around, but saw no movement, Wang Rui pursed his lips, and added: "He Yunyi is my friend, please trouble City God to take care of him."

Even Lu Pan knew He Yunyi, so it didn't make sense that the City God didn't know him, and Wang Rui didn't want to engage in the "I know someone" thing, but just to be on the safe side, let's add a sentence, anyway, it doesn't break the law.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up on the flat ground, making their clothes flutter, and everyone felt a strange air current brushing past them.

Zhu Erdan appeared in the temple with the chain. This is the last soul he detained in Yangxin County. After locking this time, he will go to work under Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an because of his outstanding "performance". The city god does not want to let him go. Let's go, after all, he is diligent and has no complaints, so he is better than other ghosts.

But Zhu Erdan frequently sent ghosts to the underworld, and he had already become familiar with Black and White Wuchang. Bai Wuchang called him by name, and the city god would not let him go.

Zhu Erdan saw a beautiful woman standing next to the box on the ground, and couldn't help feeling sorry for her, and gently put the chain on her wrist: "Let's go."

Nie Xiaoqian glanced at Wang Rui and Wei Xingxian reluctantly, knowing that people and ghosts go their own way, and staying on their own is meaningless to each other, sobbing: "Your kindness will be repaid in the next life."

At the same time, Wang Rui and Wei Xingxian were both stunned for a moment when they heard Nie Xiaoqian's voice.

Holding Nie Xiaoqian's soul, Zhu Erdan looked back at Wang Rui and the others: "Oh, it's a pity that you still can't see me."

As the two walked, their figures disappeared into the temple and went to the underworld.

And the calm in the Town God's Temple was restored, and there was no longer a cloudy wind or a strange feeling.

Looking at the bright sunny sky outside, Wang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, it's finally over, ah no, at least A Chinese Ghost Story is over.

Because it was late summer and early autumn, and the weather was sunny, Wang Rui didn't take the carriage, and walked home with Wei Xingxian, blowing the rare warm breeze, and he was in a good mood.

Anyway, at least under his influence, Nie Xiaoqian was still a ghost, but she was not completely reduced to her grandmother's tool and suffered a lot of suffering. From this point of view, her coming is not without benefits.

Wei Xingxian raised his head and looked up at the sky: "... Sigh, before she was alive, I obviously had no feelings for her, why did I feel so uncomfortable when she left, how about you?"

"Me? I'm happy. It's a good thing that she has entered reincarnation safely and is no longer under the control of the tree demon."

"It's strange to say that Nie Xiaoqian clearly said that the tree was a tree demon that harmed the victims, so why did my father tell him that the tree demon can cure the plague when he met that fairy? And judging from the results, the fairy said it was quite Yes."

Wang Rui also couldn't figure it out, but he was good at explaining himself: "Maybe we use poison to fight poison, and plague poison is afraid of demon trees."

"That's the only way I can understand it."

Walking dry, they happened to see a shed in front of them, and an old lady was selling tea inside, so the two of them brought their servants in, ordered tea and preserved fruits and sat down.

While waiting for the tea, Wei Xingxian said to Wang Rui with his chin on his hands: "I thought about it again, and I suddenly figured out why I can't bear to part with Nie Xiaoqian."

Wang Rui ate the preserved fruit and said casually, "Let's hear it."

"Think about it, Nie Xiaoqian was alive, I didn't say a word to her, but she became a ghost, and there is no defense between men and women. I learned that her character is so noble, soft and strong. Isn't it normal for a female hero to fall in love with her?"

"...It's a pity that she went to reincarnation." Wang Rui thought to himself, almost telling you to steal Ning Caichen's script: "By the way, where is Ning Caichen?"

Wei Xingxian said: "Let's go collect the debt. According to the cell boss, he has been thinking about collecting the debt all day long, and he has said it several times a day. He disappeared as soon as he was released. He probably went to collect the debt. It's not his fault. His wife at home Waiting for him to ask for money to go back and get medical treatment.”

Wang Rui was stunned: "Does he have a wife?"

"Yes, my father interrogated him a few days ago and suspected that when he saw the beauty and wanted to murder Nie Xiaoqian, he swore to God that he would never have any sex in his life. He only loved his wife and would never be tempted by other beauties." Wei Xingxian was strange. Ask: "What's wrong? Can't he have a wife?"

Wang Rui shook his head: "It's nothing, it's hard work for him to travel so far to treat his wife."

Does Ning Caichen in this world have a wife?No wonder he didn't have too much to do with Nie Xiaoqian, but that's just right.

Wei Xingxian was still feeling lost about Nie Xiaoqian's departure: "I don't know where she will be reincarnated and who she will marry when she grows up."

"Maybe reincarnated as a man." Wang Rui broke Wei Xingxian's extravagant imagination: "Perhaps the appearance is more manly than you, don't think about it, you are already a man."

Wei Xingxian was disappointed, and found that the tea hadn't been served yet, so he urged impatiently: "You guys are serving the tea too slowly."

"Come, come." At this time, a slim woman came out from the back of the awning. She had a beautiful appearance, and said with a crooked smile, "I have kept you waiting for a long time."

Putting down the teacups and cups, when putting the teacups down, except for Wang Rui, the eyeballs of everyone else almost stuck to her body, Wei Xingxian, who was still feeling Nie Xiaoqian just now, was no exception.

Probably feeling Wang Rui's "indifferent" gaze, Wei Xingxian explained in embarrassment: "You also said that the man is dead."

"Sanniang, Sanniang, continue to boil water in the backyard." The old lady at the tea stand chased away the woman named Sanniang.

People left, there was nothing to see, everyone lowered their heads and drank tea silently, Wei Xingxian and Wang Rui only felt that the tea was fragrant, fresh and delicious, they drank it all in one gulp, asked the old woman to refill a cup, and drank it clean.

Seeing that Sanniang didn't come out anymore, Wei Xingxian reluctantly paid the tea money, and went out of the shed with Wang Rui.

When Wang Rui returned home, he heard from Wenshun that the magistrate of Wei felt that the big pagoda tree was rich in material, and planned to cut it down tomorrow to replace the county town and the yamen with new gates.

Wang Rui snorted, "Grandma, grandma, no matter how powerful you are, you are just a piece of wood."

Standing under the eaves, He Yun couldn't help curling his lips when he saw his smug expression, hum, without me helping you, you might be so worried now.

He knew that Wang Rui was going with his friends to send the female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian into reincarnation, and he didn't bother to follow.

He is now counting the hours one by one, waiting to see the outcome on the appointed day, so the more heartless Wang Rui is, the more worried he is.

At the same time, he was even more thankful that he was invisible, otherwise, when he faced the empty shoulders, he really wouldn't have any expression to deal with.

Wang Rui didn't know anything about it, and continued to live his little life, going to bed early after dark.

He Yunyi went back to the guest room. After all, no matter what, he couldn't stare at Wang Rui all night and sleep with him.

Wang Rui felt thirsty before going to bed, and just about to take a sip of tea when he went down to the ground, he suddenly found a piece of purple duckweed floating in the teacup, which looked like kudzu vine.

"Where did it come from? Isn't the water in the jug clean?" Wang Rui opened the lid of the jug and looked in. Suddenly, he found an eye in the jug looking at him, blinking.

He threw away the teapot in a jerk, and the porcelain pot fell to the ground and shattered, and countless purple vines gushed out like an explosion. In an instant, the purple vine branches densely packed the room.

He heard a woman giggling, looked down, and saw a woman's head slowly emerging from the duckweed. Wang Rui had seen her before, and it was Sanniang who met at the tea stand.

Wang Rui turned around and wanted to run, but found that he couldn't move his body, and he couldn't make a sound. He saw the woman stretched out her two long arms and put them around his neck: "You drank my water mangcao during the day, you Wherever there is water, I can find you."

The woman's skin was cold, and Wang Rui shuddered. Did he encounter a water ghost?

"This water is enough." The woman looked at the cup of tea that Wang Rui didn't drink just now.

Wang Rui felt his body fluttering, and when he looked closely, he was actually being dragged towards the cup of tea by Sanniang. The teacup's mouth was only that big, but it seemed that Sanniang wanted to get in.

Can you get in?He thought in panic, but the reality is that he really felt his body being dragged by her, and flew into the tea.

Before Wang Rui was submerged in the water and lost consciousness, he just thought that it was a waste of me struggling to survive in Liao Zhai for so long, but I didn't expect to fall on a little water ghost.

He Yunyi suddenly felt that the evil spirit was flourishing, and when he came to Wang Rui's room, the room was empty.

He picked up the half-drunk cup of tea on the table, and fished out the piece of purple duckweed: "Water Mangcao?"

Water miscanthus is a poison used by water ghosts to catch their substitutes. How could Wang Rui mess with it?

As soon as He Yun picked up the leaf, he flew away.

This group of guys caught Wang Rui's head by grabbing the double. According to him, the water ghost doesn't have to continue doing it, it's just gone.

...

I don't know how long it took before he became conscious. The bone-chilling chill made him sneeze. Looking around, he couldn't see anything in the pitch black. He touched it casually, as if he had touched a lumpy tree root, and couldn't help swallowing. Drooling, dripping cold sweat, isn't it, I seem to be caught by someone.

The surroundings suddenly became brighter, which made him quickly raise his hand to cover his eyes, and saw a tall and burly person dressed as a woman, but looked like a man through his fingers. He knew who it was, and hurriedly lowered his head in fright.

"Look up at me! Wang Rui, when you met the corpse demon, I protected you anyway, and you actually repay your kindness? Steal my Xiaoqian, huh?" Grandma roared: "You took Shuimangcao, As long as you encounter water, whether it is rivers, lakes, ponds or puddles, or even water for washing your face and tea, as long as there is water, we will find you."

Wang Rui: "..." He found that his grandma was accompanying two pretty women, one of whom he knew was Sanniang who kidnapped him, and the other one he had never met, but presumably was his accomplice.

"Kou Sanniang, you did a good job." Grandma praised in a low voice, "I won't treat you badly in the future."

Kou Sanniang smiled and said to Wang Rui: "Don't look at me, if you want to blame it, blame you for being greedy. During the day, I drank my tea mixed with water mangcao."

Wang Rui: "..."

Grandma was unhappy: "Why don't you speak?! Are you dumb?"

What can Wang Rui say, do you want to say "Wow haha ​​so lucky, you simply thought that I stole Nie Xiaoqian's ashes, but didn't find out that I dreamed of harming you"?

At this time, grandma snorted heavily: "Then be your dumb, besides you, there is another hateful guy!"

A few tree roots came up to them holding a man up. Wang Rui saw that it was Wei Xingxian. His face was pale and his anger was as thin as a thread. He seemed to be sucked into this by his grandma.

"Wei Xingxian!!" Wang Rui got up, and rushed to him to test his nose. He was indeed angry, but not much.

Wei Xingxian was in a coma, unable to hear Wang Rui's call, and could only whine in pain.

"The surname Wei will cut down my whole tree tomorrow, haha, okay, come on." The grandma sneered sinisterly: "I will let his son become a part of me now, and cutting me down is cutting down his son. Let's see what he does."

Kou Sanniang played with a strand of her hair and giggled: "Okay, let him become a tree man."

Xiaoqing also echoed, "Grandma is wise."

Wang Rui was stunned when he heard it, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, trying to dilute his sense of existence, don't be unable to save Wei Xingxian, get himself involved too.

Suddenly, he felt his grandma's sharp eyes: "Wang, you also want to become a part of me, and be a companion to your friend! You are not good people!" Saying this, stretched out several The vines climbed towards Wang Rui.

"Wait!" Wang Rui stretched out his hand and said loudly, "You made me a part of you, you will regret it!"

Grandma said angrily, "What is there to regret?"

Yes, what regrets?Wang Rui also wanted to know, he just said it casually in a hurry, but the matter has come to this point, it is impossible not to continue talking: "Because... because I have a very powerful friend named He Yunyi, to tell you the truth, Mr. Heishan The demon knows, he was the one who killed it, and it took no effort at all in the blink of an eye, if you are sensible, let me go obediently."

Unexpectedly, my grandma laughed out loud when she heard this: "That's right, it is because the Taoist priest behind you is so powerful that I want to devour you. With you as a shield, he dare not do anything to me! Otherwise, you think I will take you away!" What are you here for?"

Grandma has already thought about it. Once she puts her resistance on the bright side, all the towns and villages will know that she is a tree demon. At that time, even if Wei Zhi County compromises and transplants her to the deep mountains, Wang Rui, as Wei Xingxian's friend, probably He also asked his Taoist friends to come forward to eradicate her.

It is better to strike first, and then to suffer disaster. Anyway, sooner or later you will encounter the Taoist priest, so it is better to seize the opportunity and kidnap Wang Rui as a hostage.

To hurt her is to hurt Wang Rui and Wei Xingxian, let's see how the Taoist priest and magistrate deal with it.

Grandma let out a piercing smug laugh, scaring Wang Rui back again and again, bad, bad, this time I really have to explain my life.

"Grandma, calm down. Listen to me. My Taoist friend left me long ago. If you want to guard against him, there is really no need to harm me. He won't come back, really."

"Then you used him to scare me just now?!" Grandma scolded angrily, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

"I swear to God, he really will never come back." Wang Rui waved his hands and said, "I, I'm annoying, you will regret it if you combine me with you."

"Since I can devour you, I can also cut you!" Grandma sneered, "Don't worry about that."

Suddenly, Wang Rui felt something crawling up from his back, turned his head slightly, and saw that it was the rhizome of grandma stuck behind his ear.

His whole body was stiff and cold, and he closed his eyes instinctively screaming: "Ah——"

-

All the way to the front of the Lanruo Temple, the cutting team of Haohaotangtang came to the gate of Lanruo Temple. The leader was Weizhi County of this county. Although he woke up this morning and found that his son was missing, he believed that the brat escaped to play in the middle of the night again. This happened before, so I didn't care about it. It was important to cut down the tree and replace the city wall with a new gate.

The crown of this tree is like a canopy, covering the sky and the sun, and the trunk is thick and thick. It has been cut down to get rich wood, which is enough for the county to use for a while.

Wei Zhixian patrolled around with his hands behind his back, and nodded to the craftsmen: "Let's start."

The craftsmen breathed on their hands and began to pull the saw towards the trunk. After a few clicks, one of them shouted in panic: "Blood, this tree is bleeding."

Wei Zhixian wiped the dark red blood, it was sticky and salty, it was indeed blood, when he was puzzled, he saw a human figure slowly appearing from the wound, it was his son.

"……father……"

Wei Zhixian thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes, but the figure in the tree became clearer: "Father, save me."

"Tree demon—" The other people scattered in fright, only Wei Zhixian stretched out his hand tremblingly, caressing his son's wood-grained face: "Xingxian?"

The moment he touched his son, the son quickly hid back in the tree, and he heard a thick male voice from the crown of the tree: "My surname is Wei, your son is now living in one body with me. If you dare to act rashly, he I can’t survive, now you listen to me, send someone to move me to a safe deep mountain, I’m happy, maybe let your son go, otherwise, haha, what do you think will happen?”

Knowing that it was a demon tree, Wei Zhixian hurriedly said, "I promise, I promise, you will not hurt my son! Where do you want to move it? I will immediately send someone to help you move it."

"Don't play tricks, move me away carefully, they say that the tree will die, and if I die, your son, haha, will die too." When grandma said this, she suddenly roared like thunder: "Hurry up and get out of here!" Go back and call someone!"

Wei Zhixian trembled in fright, and said to the tree trunk: "Son, don't be afraid, dad will go back and call someone." He said and ran towards the city with his official robe.

Grandma's depression accumulated for many years was swept away, and she was very comfortable and comfortable.

"Ouch, I'm going to die, oh what, it's so nasty and disgusting."

Grandma suddenly heard a harsh voice, she recognized this voice, it was that bastard Wang Rui.

"Shut up!" Grandma swung the branch and gave Wang Rui a slap on the spot, but just after she swung it, she felt a burning pain.

Wang Rui snorted and sneered. He was completely controlled by his grandma's rhizome. Countless rhizomes pierced his brain blood vessels and heart respectively, as if he had undergone some kind of nerve connection surgery. His physical senses were completely connected with his grandma. So when grandma dies, he will die, but if he hurts, grandma will also have a hard time.

Symbiosis, that's how it is.

Before he kept talking, grandma wanted to stop his mouth, but he bit the branch hard, the pain made them both yell together, it can be said that both sides were hurt.

He sighed: "I said you're disgusting, I'm not sexist, I don't engage in that kind of prejudice. It's just me, appearance discrimination, you are so ugly, it's really disgusting to act like a baby, don't do that next time .”

Grandma was furious, but she couldn't beat him, so she gritted her teeth secretly, and sucked some of Wang Rui's essence and blood towards her, which made the boy weak, and his mouth didn't have the strength to babble.

"...I said, take it easy, suck me to death, why do you use me as a shield?"

After Wang Rui finished speaking, he felt his blood flow backwards, and it was transported back the same way.

Wei Xingxian stared blankly at everything in front of him. He completely admired Wang Rui. Under such a situation, he couldn't help feeling dejected, and instead fought wits and courage with the tree demon.

He didn't have the guts.

Grandma gritted her teeth and glared at Wang Rui. This brat is really annoying. He was so calm when he encountered such a horrible thing as being sucked by a tree. He must have pinned his hopes on his Taoist friend, thinking that he could be rescued: "Hehe, Do you think your Taoist friend can save you? How do you think he can save you? If you kill me rashly, you will die too."

"He won't come..." Wang Rui replied lonely, "Why don't you believe it?"

He has experienced so many things back and forth, and his endurance has been steadily improving. Isn't it just being controlled by the tree, living and dying with the tree? He even turned into a sheep before, and was almost cooked.

"Don't think I'll be fooled by you, ha ha." Grandma smiled sinisterly.

Wang Rui sighed: "Believe it or not, don't talk to me, I have to review."

"Review?" Grandma was a little confused, what's the situation now, you still want to review the book?Did you not understand the situation?

"Yeah, study, is it possible to chat with you?" Wang Rui rolled his eyes at her, and began to mutter: "Shunfa is in the farm, Fu Shuo is in the edition, and Jiaoge is in the fish and salt. Guan Yiwu was promoted to the scholars, Sun Shuao was promoted to the sea, and Baili Xi was promoted to the city. Therefore, the heaven will send a great appointment to the people..."

Grandma only felt a buzzing sound in her ears, and yelled irritably, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"

How could Wang Rui do what she wished, and continued to mutter in a moderate voice: "You must first suffer your heart and will, work your muscles and bones, starve your body, empty your body, and disturb your actions, so you must be patient. Used to do what it couldn’t.”

I told you I'm annoying, why don't you believe me?

Grandma couldn't take it anymore, and the rhizome pulled towards Wang Rui's head. As a result, he grinned his teeth in pain, and grandma herself was in severe pain.

"Don't believe it, He Yunyi really left, and he won't come back for ten or eight years. Could it be that you want to keep me for ten or eight years just to beware of him?" Wang Rui raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I'm looking forward to our future life, I'll endorse it to you every day."

Grandma held her breath and gritted her teeth: "Okay, after I move to a safe place, I will kill you and this guy surnamed Wei, are you satisfied?!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Rui changed his words again: "If my front foot dies, and He Yunyi comes on the back foot, wouldn't it be a big loss for you?"

Grandma really felt that she had picked up a hot potato and couldn't keep it or kill it.
