Ghostbuster

After rushing day and night, everyone arrived in Li'an, a small town on the border of Gaoming in Nanliang after five days. At night, only the watchman passed through the empty street.

Walking around was able to see a lighted inn.After each arranged their accommodation, Xi Ziqi stayed with the waiter and asked, "Second brother, have you met this man recently?" The painting in his hand was Xi Zhen.

Xiao Er vaguely remembered this person, pondered for a while, and said, "This young man seems familiar, ah, yes, it is him! He was kicked out of a street restaurant a few days ago. I heard that he let a man whose life and death be unknown The person in the carriage, the boss thought it was bad luck, so he scolded him and left during the day, and many people were watching at that time."

"Did you see where he went?"

"Perhaps he left the city. No one would dare to stay in any inn if such a big incident happened."

"But the city gate in the direction of Jingling?"

Xiao Er thought for a long time, "It should be, the carriage is going in that direction."

"Are there only two?"

"That's not clear. I was also joining in the fun at the back, and I didn't see it clearly before."

"Thank you, little brother." Xi Ziqi rewarded him with some broken silver, and then moved to look for Gan Qingsi.

"Shall we go after him now?" Gan Qingsi asked.

"I'm afraid that senior brother has already rushed to Jingling." Everyone was exhausted from the hard work all the way, and he was also worried that everyone's health would not be able to bear it.

Gan Qingsi suddenly remembered the things in the bag, looked left and right and found a bamboo tube from his clothes, "Wait for me to come back."

After meeting, Xi Ruobai followed Gan Qingsi, and the two of them ran under the night sky until half a minute out of the city before he pulled off the signal flare, and a bright white light leaped into the sky, shining for a moment in the darkness before gradually disappearing.

After a while, the same fireworks rose in the distance.The two looked at each other and quickly rushed to the place where the signal rose.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the road is reflected very clearly, making the autumn night even more desolate and cold.In the windy night when a fire should have been lit for warmth, there was no fire.There was a person parked at the carriage, and the autumn clothes could not cover his thinness, let alone hide his brighter outline.

"Eldest brother." Seeing Xi Zhen's sunken eyes, Xi Ruobai sighed softly.

"Ruobai, Qingsi." Xi Zhen smiled with exhaustion in his eyes.

Xi Ruobai understood his thoughts but still couldn't help asking, "Why torture yourself?"

Xi Zhen lowered his eyes, "Ruobai, the love is too bitter." He said lightly, but the pain in his tone was depressing for the two of them.

Putting the robe on Xi Zhen, Xi Ruobai said with difficulty, "You know he won't come back."

"Well, I know, but I still hope that he will come back." Xi Zhen grabbed his coat and looked at the carriage.

Ghosts are afraid of fire, and Xi Zhen is afraid that if the fire is ignited, Shan Guiyao will never come to him again.

Although he knew that that person would never come.

"Ruobai, do you need me?" Xi Zhen asked softly.

Xi Ruobai nodded, "Brother, where is Nan Gezi?"

Xi Zhen turned around with gray eyes and opened the curtain of the car. There was a person and a wooden box lying in the car. He looked at the red lacquered wood and said, "That's Nan Gezi."

After stepping out of the Trace Valley, Xi Zhen walked for an unknown amount of time without stopping.Seeing that it was really hard to attend, but this person refused to let go. Nan Gezi was afraid that the ghost rumors would not be spoiled, so he fell down first. After repeated unbearable, he still stopped Xi Zhen. "Where are you going?"

"Chonglianxuan."

Nan Gezi sighed, "It's easy for you to say, maybe you want to carry him all the way back home?"

"Then I have to go. I said, I want to take him home. He wants me for 13 years, and I will accompany him for 13 years."

"What's next? What are you going to do?"

Xi Zhen smiled lightly, "He said he would wait for me, and I will go find him myself."

"Really?" Nan Gezi relieved, "It's not in vain for him to live a foolish life. He was born for you and died for you. Xi Lanqin, can you promise me something?"

"please say."

"Bring him back to Chonglian Pavilion." Nan Gezi said lightly.

"You don't want me to go back?" Xi Zhen knew that Nan Gezi and Shan Guiyao were always indistinguishable. If Shan Guiyao was not in Nan Gezi, where could he go?

Nan Gezi smiled softly, "Maybe I won't be able to make it. Xi Lanqin, my life was given by Shan Guiyao, but the good times didn't last long, but I lived for a year, and my life was still not kept. My lifelong wish is to get out of Dansheng, He helped me complete it. He fulfilled my long-cherished wish and I will do things for him to repay his kindness, but I still can't repay the kindness. If you see him again, can you give me a word?" Jian Xizhen nodded, and he slowly Said, "Shan Guiyao, Nan Gezi is fortunate to be the only one in this life. I can't be with you on the road to Huangquan, so let's go."

"Nan Ge, you—"

"Did you forget that Shan Guiyao is also a human being?" Nan Gezi pierced his stomach with sad eyes, he pulled out his bloody hand expressionlessly, and when he opened his palm, there was a round emerald green in the dark red blood. Beads, blood flowed everywhere, but there was no spot on the beads, and the bead halo faintly spread out and dazzled. "This is the Pearl of Returning Yan. Guiyao did it to make me behave like a normal person back then. It can keep my body from being destroyed."

After Nan Gezi finished speaking, his skin began to fester, and the strange purple blood streaks opened one after another and tore his face apart. The flesh and blood turned out like a knife cut, and the muscles all over his body were slowly shrinking. It was difficult to recognize his expression on his withered face.

He looked at Shan Guiyao's gray face with a few lines of tears leaking out of his eyes, he raised his hand and touched his face in a daze, Nan Gezi said with a silly smile, "So I will be so sad when you die." He raised his face to look at Xi Zhen, He said, "Please cremate me, Nan Gezi is helpless in this life, the only place to stay is Chonglianxuan, that pool of lotus is raised by me, please let me be with them, It’s not in vain for me to come to this world.”

Xi Zhen waved his head, "Nan Ge, I will bury Gui Yao next to you until I confess, and I will definitely not let you alone."

"Thank you." Nan Gezi's hand rested on Shan Guiyao's face, and in a trance, many images flashed in his mind.

As long as he can remember, he has stayed in the dark basement, and occasionally he can eat by the faint candlelight. He doesn't know what he eats, and he never knows what he looks like.

Nan Gezi only knew that he was alone.

It took a long time until the wall was carved with potholes everywhere before he saw someone else. It was the first time he saw a person clearly, but he was not sure if that person was a human being. Nan Gezi was very afraid of him the first time.Later, he overheard that the man was called Shan Guiyao.He didn't know how to write it, but Nan Gezi thought it sounded good to other people's weird name.After finishing the ghost technique, he will always encounter ghost rumors, and he treats others as nothing as he walks alone.

Later he heard a lot of things, two of which were the most curious, one was the scene outside Dansheng, and the other was the mountain ghost rumor.

The first time he talked to Shan Guiyao was because of the two corpses in front of him. When he was told that they were his parents, he still didn't understand what his parents were.Shan Gui Yao asked him why he didn't cry, he didn't understand what crying was, Shan Gui Yao said that when people were sad, they would cry.

Nan Gezi never shed a single tear before his death.

After meeting Shan Guiyao, he knew what joy was and what sorrow was, and he didn't understand what sadness was until the end.It was probably an injury that the pain from the penetrating left sternum couldn't cover up.It took more than ten years for him to repay his kindness, but he never thought it was too long.

The cold-blooded and ruthless mountain ghost rumors in people's mouths taught Nan Gezi how to deal with the world, and it also made him miss him for the rest of his life.

If Shan Guiyao is an evil person, he, Nan Gezi, is willing to be an evil ghost.

Covering his heart with trembling hands, Nan Gezi seemed to want to soothe his unbearable pain. His eyes were broken by tears, and he said softly, "Gui Yao, Nan Gezi has no regrets. I won't be with you anymore."

The last look was the gray sky, just like the day when he met him many years ago.The rustling autumn wind was lingering, and there was a person lying among the cluttered leaves. His face was wet with tears and blood, but his smile was calm and satisfied.

Since then, there will be no more Nan Gezi in the world.

The soul trapped in Dan Sheng's forbidden room already has a refuge.

After listening to Xi Zhen's words, Xi Ruobai and Gan Qingsi remained silent.

"He walked away peacefully." Xi Zhen remembered Nan Gezi's expression at the end, so that must be what he said without regret.

"I'll go back and tell Brother Wulang, Ting Huan, you can stay here with Senior Brother Xizhen." Before leaving, Gan Qingsi turned around and asked, "Senior Brother Xizhen, has anyone ambushed you along the way?"

Xi Zhen frowned, "There was no one along the way from Soochow, but two days ago, I fought with a few people in Gaoming Jinfu, and they didn't seem to have any murderous intentions. They ran away after a while, and I will not pursue them anymore."

"Do you know if the other party is a ghost master or a spiritual master?"

"Ghost master."

Gan Qingsi nodded thoughtfully, and left after a few instructions.

After the Xinghe dimmed, the typhoid fever gradually developed at night, Gan Qingsi didn't bother the few people and took Jin Yutang and Jin Chen to wander in the woods.

Jin Yutang followed behind Gan Qingsi with a rare reticence and meekness, while Jin Chen had a consistent character, cherishing words like gold.

"Xiao Yu'er, I'm not used to you like this, what's the matter? But I'm tired?" Gan Qingsi really found that something was wrong with Jin Yutang, and he was afraid that the child would be troubled by running around all night.

"Brother, I'm not tired at all. I just didn't talk when I saw you alone in a bad mood." Although Jin Yutang didn't read much, he knew a thing or two about people. Seeing that Gan Qingsi was inexplicably sad, he quietly followed for fear of disturbing his emotions.

After hearing this, Gan Qingsi became conscious, "Brother is not in a bad mood."

He stared wide-eyed and pouted, "What's that?"

"You'll understand when you grow up."

Jin Yutang grinned, "Then I don't want to grow up, can I be happy?"

Feeling full of emotions, Gan Qingsi suddenly suppressed the melancholy just now, "Of course, it's fine if you don't grow up."

People will always grow up, and will always experience sadness. After going through the sea of ​​suffering, they can also see peace.

Seeing the two laughing and laughing again, Jin Chen asked, "Master, where is Bai Tong?"

Gan Qingsi frowned, "It's strange to say that I haven't seen him all the way. Could something have happened?"

"Do you want me to send someone to look for it?"

"it is good."

"Then I won't leave without you tomorrow, you should be careful."

"Remember to let me know if something happens."

"Ah."

The three of them should have been quiet in the woods, but one Gan Qingsi now added Jin Yutang, which made Jin Chen uneasy and closed his ear acupoints and lay down on the tree. Only then leaned on Gan Qingsi to sleep soundly.The other side is still awake for a long time.

When the sky was just dawn, a carriage was on the road, and the sun was exploring the hills behind it, smothering the sound of horseshoes going away.

Xi Zhen turned his head and glanced at the few people who were seeing him off. His eyes were slightly red when he saw Zhaoxi at the beginning of his life. It was obviously not the injury of the setting sun, but he felt lonely for no reason.He never said goodbye, he looked at every parting as a future meeting, just like the person he promised, just reunited after a long absence.

Mountain Ghost Ballad, Xi Zhen under the Nine Springs will come to you, wait for me.

Tears in Siqing's eyes, with Qing's sweetheart.

The return journey was a bit long, so long that Jiang Yi couldn't remember the scenery he had walked through for many years, and Xi Ziqi was by his side all the way. Others were in life and death, and they were sad in their hearts. They all saw themselves in the life and death of others. It will hurt.

After entering Jingling, the weather gradually turned cold, and Jin Yutang huddled next to Gan Qingsi along the way, "Why do I feel so cold, Jinhua has never been so cold all year round." He shivered and complained, "Brother, you Is not It Cold?"

"Fortunately, ghost energy can keep out the cold, Xiao Yuer, you definitely need to practice." Gan Qingsi laughed straight.

"And this benefit? Brother, you have to teach me quickly, or I will die of cold!"

"If people who practice diligently listen to your reasons, I'm afraid they will be scolded." He flipped Jin Yutang's wrist, "Xiao Yu'er, you will have to suffer a lot if you want to learn now. Can you bear it?"

Jin Yutang slapped his chest, and shrank into a ball in the cold again, "I, Jin Yutang, have never suffered anything, so naturally I can bear it!"

"Well, there is only one way you have to learn now."

"What way?"

"Dual cultivation of spirit and ghost."

"Brother, please explain clearly, I have never heard of this word."

Gan Qingsi's eyes wandered from side to side, "To be honest, I haven't heard of it either."

Jin Yutang glanced at him, "Brother, can we be more reliable?"

"Xiao Yu'er, I'm a very reliable person, if you don't believe me, ask your elder brother Xi."

Rolling his eyes, Jin Yutang shrank to Xi Ruobai's side, "Brother Xi, do you think my brother is reliable?"

Xi Ruobai raised her lips and smiled, "Your elder brother doesn't even know what reliability is, what do you think?"

"Well, I won't learn anymore." Although Jin Yutang only got to know each other for a few days, he believed the words of Xi Ruobai and Xi Ziqi to the core. The two lost their demeanor and caught Jin Yutang to teach him a lesson.

Gan Qingsi was so angry that he was very depressed beside him.

"Yutang, you don't have to worry." Xi Ruobai spoke again.

"why?"

"Because I proposed the double cultivation of spirit and ghost, and I will teach you with Su Ye at that time."

"Brother Xi! I'll learn!"

Seeing Jin Yutang's happy face, Gan Qingsi stared even more angrily, "Why don't you believe me, kid?"

"Brother Xi..."

Gan Qingsi shouted, "What's your name, Brother Xi!"

Xi Ruobai couldn't help watching the two quarreling with laughter.

"Master Xi..."

"What is your name, Master Xi!"

Jin Yutang was in trouble, "What's that called?"

Gan Qingsi chuckled, "Master's wife."

The next moment, Xi Ruobai kicked Gan Qingsi off the carriage, making Xi Ziqi and Jiang Yi burst into laughter.

Jin Yutang became confused, should he call or not?After thinking about this question, another question came up. If this is the case, should I be called elder brother or sister-in-law in the future?Seeing Xi Ruobai's face, Jin Yutang's little heart trembled again, forget it, he chose to remain silent.
