There is a hole in the mountain

He Xiu woke up again, still awakened by bursts of low-pitched crying.

He couldn't help howling, "Is it over?" Then, he suddenly smelled a strong fragrance, and he was alerted suddenly, and saw the plain white silk curtain above his head and the pure gold curtain beside the curtain. incense balls.Someone was sobbing in a low voice, and another spoke in a deep and gentle voice.The surrounding atmosphere was strong and fierce, He Xiu sat up from the couch in a jerk, got up violently, suddenly felt dizzy, and fell back on the couch again.

Hearing the sound, there was no conversation outside the door.The sobbing person seemed to have gradually walked away, and the gentle voice said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that I woke up at this time." He Xiu saw a middle-aged man slowly walking in through the screen, with a thick beard, The figure is clear and thin.Wearing a curly beam crown on his head, wearing a moon-white robe, with big sleeves sweeping the floor, and holding a stag in his hand, he has the demeanor of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.Seeing He Xiu, he smiled before saying anything, "I woke up quickly, but slept for two days." Then he clapped his hands to call people.Not long after, little Taoist priests from Tsing Yi General Corner came in and out one after another, bringing a change of clothes and utensils, and refreshments of melons and fruits.

When He Xiu saw the little Taoist priest, he knew that he must still be in the Lotus Palace.Looking around carefully, the furnishings in the house are simple and elegant, but all the items are exquisite, and they are all priceless things. "This is where?"

The charm of this person is unspeakable, but the tone is kind and approachable, "This is the residence for the poor in the Guzhang Palace."

He Xiu seemed to understand, "Who are you?"

"The name of the poor Taoist is Yunlan."

One of the founding masters of Lianhua Palace, the highest and most honored disciple of the Yunzi generation, and the current national teacher.How could he be in such a small place as Guzhang?Such words can only be thought but cannot be asked, He Xiu had no choice but to let go of her doubts.It happened that the little Taoist priest handed over a warm towel, and He Xiu looked away from the white jade bottle on the desk, took it over and wiped his face, and asked uncertainly: "It's you Save me?" At that time, he was unconscious, tired and weak, and he didn't see the face of the person on the other side of the rock clearly.

Yunlan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right." Then she took out a box from her bosom, opened it, and there were two red pills lying quietly inside, "The sound of the soul-returning drum is extremely fierce and domineering, you The soul has been damaged, if you can't live well, it will be difficult to live long. This elixir can help you stabilize your soul." While speaking, he put the box into He Xiu's hands, "The first pill was fed to you when you were unconscious. Take it, take the second pill one year later, and wait for the third pill for another three years. It can guarantee that you will not suffer from the turmoil of Jihun for the rest of your life."

He Xiu put the pill under his nose, feeling that the smell was quite familiar.He sniffed.

Yunlan looked at him quietly, "You are young and your cultivation base is shallow, this injury is not light. Just stay with me and raise your heart, and make another plan when you get better."

He Xiu rolled his eyes and thought about it.According to Fox Lady's usual personality, seeing him describe it like this is probably not enough to cry and make trouble.What's more, this time I fell ill and was seen by a mortal again, I'm afraid that after this experience, I won't be able to leave her side for a few years.Thinking about it like this, it is better to stay here with Yunlan, he nodded and said: "In this way, Daoist Lao will help me make another lie."

He Xiu knew in her heart that Yun Lan must have figured out her own origin, so she didn't hide it from him, and only told the scene of her real body being seen by Mrs. Liu in detail.Yun Lan said with a smile: "Some disciples have reported this matter, and I have already warned you. You don't have to worry."

Only then did He Xiu realize that the crying voice when he woke up turned out to be the little Taoist priest guarding the Yixuan courtyard.

Zhongyuan has passed, and the believers on the mountain have already descended one after another.The mountain is quiet, and at night the moon shines on the top of the mountain, making the dense forest on the mountain even more dark, and the sound of the distant bell seems to strike the heart.In the silence, only the chirping of insects and birds can be heard.He Xiu had enough to eat and drink, and was healthy. Seeing the little Taoist priest waiting outside the door with delicate features, she leaned against the door to tease him.Who would have thought that the little Taoist priest was deaf and dumb, and any question or provocation from Xiu would just bow his head and look down in silence.

He Xiu laughed back angrily, and lifted the little Taoist priest's chin, "So you are asleep? See if I won't tell Taoist Master Yunlan to punish you for your crime."

The little Taoist hurriedly replied: "Don't talk nonsense, layman, the duty of the Taoist is here, how can you fall asleep."

He Xiu liked his pleasant voice, so she said kindly, "Since you are not asleep, why don't you talk to me?"

He Xiu was very angry and smiled, which seemed to be affectionate, let alone a sincere smile.The little Taoist blushed, "The rules in the palace are like this, please forgive me." It turns out that the rules in the palace are strict, disciples must walk quietly, and when they meet each other, they only salute according to their seniority, and there is absolutely no chatter.After the little Taoist finished speaking, he refused to talk to He Xiu anymore, and He Xiu was so bored that he could only lie on the window edge in a daze.It happened that a grasshopper flew by the window sill, and He Xiu had sharp eyes, so she caught the insect with a little trick, then pulled a thread from the curtain, and tied the insect to her finger to play with.

While playing, he suddenly heard a soft sound outside the door, and vaguely heard the little Taoist exclaim.He Xiu stretched her neck and asked, "Runyu?"

After a long while no one answered, He Xiu sniffed and suddenly laughed.

Sure enough, after a while, Runyu walked in from the door with stiff hands and feet, and closed the door smoothly.Seeing He Xiu half leaning against the edge of the window with a grasshopper tied to his index finger, he couldn't help but also smiled, "You heartless person, you make me worry for nothing."

He Xiu lazily teased the worm in her hand, "Go, go, go. I don't dare to worry you."

Jiang Yian, who was parasitic on the body of the little Taoist priest Runyu, moved closer to He Xiu, pouted, "I was chased by the Taoist priests on the mountain as soon as I left that day, and I will find your mother to save you in time in the future. I can't help myself , why do you chase people away when you meet them?"

He Xiu lifted Jiang Yian by the back of the neck and carried him away.He didn't expect that Jiang Yi'an, whom he had met a few times, would go back to save him, and besides, he was fine now, and he didn't care why he didn't go back, he just picked on the mistakes in his words and said narrowly: "You are not people."

Seeing that He Xiu was not angry, Jiang Yian laid down on his lap as if relieved, regardless of He Xiu's willingness or not.

"Why did you come looking for me instead of running for your life?"

Jiang Yi'an rubbed her stiff neck, "It's a pity that the sound of the Huihun drum is too loud, I can't get in and out."

He Xiu was taken aback, "Can you also hear the sound of the soul-returning drum?"

Jiang Yi gave He Xiu a white look, "There are no ghosts in the six realms that are not summoned by the soul-returning drum."

Ignoring He Xiu's pensive expression, Jiang Yi'an said to himself: "The lonely ghosts with shallow morals are crushed by the drums, and those who are not crushed will be called back to Fengdu to wait for reincarnation."

He Xiu used to only know that he is a half-demon body, so his spirit and body are different, and he has to suffer from the stripping of his soul once a year.Unexpectedly, this suffering is not what I should have suffered in the first place.He thought of Yun Lan, and suddenly he was not so grateful.Jiang Yian grinned, a row of small white teeth gleaming in the moonlight, "Xiu Lang, I took such a big risk to see you, are you moved?"

He Xiu was not in a good mood.This fellow was summoned by the soul-returning drum, he couldn't get out, so he hid here as a last resort.Being good-looking after getting a big deal, this look... He Xiu's nose turned up, which made him feel exactly the same as himself.

Jiang Yi'an licked her face and smiled, "I have surrendered to you a long time ago, you can't leave me alone."

He met this guy by chance, but he didn't think he would have much affection for him.He Xiu stared at the little Taoist priest Runyu's delicate face, and suddenly smiled and said: "He Xiu has no long body, even in his prime, he can't help you."

Jiang Yian grabbed his sleeve, "As long as you..."

He Xiu raised his hand to interrupt him, "I just met Daoist Yunlan by chance, so I can't help you."

Jiang Yi'an smiled slyly, "If you talk about friendship, you really don't have any relationship with that bull-nosed person. If you say it's family affection, I'm afraid it's not enough." Seeing He Xiu looking at her vigilantly, Jiang Yi'an smiled flatteringly: "Xiu Lang, listen to me carefully. Come."
