From the Red Mansion to Riding a Dragon to the Great Desolation

Chen Xi followed Orion down the mountain. There were dozens of families at the foot of the mountain, most of which were thatched huts, and there were also two or three brick and stone houses.

Orion's surname is Zhang, who lives at the head of the village, next to the mountain, with fences around the front and back of the house. In the yard, an old woman took two children to turn over mountain products such as mushrooms and fungus. A woman was looking around in front of the firewood gate. Seeing her husband, she was very happy.

A few old men passed by the intersection with wine jars in their arms, and they couldn't stop looking at Chen Xi.

"Why did Dazhu come back empty-handed?"

"Don't mention it, if it wasn't for Daoist Chang Qing, I would have been almost eaten by the wild dog demon today!"

Zhang Orion's voice was loud, attracting the villagers to gather here, and then he took on the posture of a storyteller. He was obviously dead at the time, but his words turned into seeing how Chen Xi appeared with his own eyes, how he killed the dog demon, and how he used the golden pill. Save him... The words were vivid and vivid, the words were better than the songs, the surrounding villagers were startled when they heard it, and hurriedly called the fairy elder to salute Chen Xi.

Mrs. Zhang was busy, bringing bamboo chairs for Chen Xi, picking a pot of apricots from the tree in the courtyard, washing them and bringing them over, and asking the two children in the family to kowtow to Chen Xi.

After receiving the gift, Chen Xi took out two big soybean balls from the kit and gave them to the child, saying they were sugar balls.

This is the Kailing Qizhi and Physical Fitness Pill developed by Real Miao Miao. It contains honey, which is sweet and very popular with little demons. Before going out, Lin Daiyu stuffed it for Chen Xi.

After the child ate the sugar pill, there was no change for a while. The villagers said that the Zhang family was blessed and stopped paying attention.

It is rare for a Taoist priest to come to the village. This one wants to ask Chen Xi for a peace talisman, that one wants to invite Chen Xi to visit his sick old mother at home, and another woman comes with a baby in her arms, and asks Chen Xi to see if the child cries all the time at night. .

In the hearts of the villagers, Zhang Liehu is a capable person. He said that Taoist Changqing is capable, so he must be a master of Taoism.

This Changqing Daoist looks young, maybe it is because of the eternal youth, after all, just sitting next to the Daoist, it is like smelling the fairy spirit, which makes people feel refreshed and exhausted.

Chen Xi walked around the village, but he didn't meet any evil spirits. He mainly treats illnesses, but he heard many stories from the local version of Liaozhai.

The ancestors of a certain family entrusted their dreams to move their graves, someone asked if they looked like a human when they met a fox, someone yelled while walking at night and turned around and saw ghosts, etc.

The married Sun's family was very enthusiastic and invited Chen Xi to watch the ceremony. Chen Xi went out to understand the world and had the opportunity to see customs and customs, so he agreed, and even dug out a silver bean to accompany the ceremony.

Weddings in this era are evening ceremonies, held at dusk.

During the worship, Chen Xi smelled a faint evil spirit from the groom, and moved his eyes to the small river behind Sun's house. The source of the evil spirit came from the cemetery one mile away across the river.

There was a story about the groom in Liaozhai.On the night of their marriage, the groom found the bride walking out, shouted and chased after her, and chased him to the bride's house, where he was kept for half a year, and later found out that he lived in a tomb.

When reading the article at first, Chen Xi thought the story was illogical and nonsense.In ancient times, filial piety was emphasized. How could the groom follow the bride home on the night of marriage, and live there for half a year, and those who stay at home would not stay out for half a year, or even deliver letters to their families.

The most ridiculous thing is that the two families are only one mile apart.

The groom doesn't even know where the bride lives?I don't know if there is such a family a mile away?

Either the groom is stupid, or the groom is greedy for beauty. Of course, the most likely reason is that he was enchanted by the goblin.

It now appears that it is the latter.

The Sun family is the landlord in the village. They serve big bowls of food and drink in big bowls at wedding banquets. They drank straight away, and everyone passed out drunk.

Chen Xi also lay down on the table and pretended to sleep.

The moon and stars were thinning, the mist was getting thicker, and the evil spirit flowed into the main room with the night wind. The groom got up in a daze, followed a little yellow animal, and went out across the river.

It was a weasel.

Standing in front of the window, Chen Xi looked at the two figures crossing the small bridge one behind the other, and chatted with Mo Xuan in a low voice: "Sun Dalang looks ordinary, he is not a scholar that goblins like, and he is not deep in fortune... What do weasels like about him?" ? Or does she have a grudge against the bride?"

Mo Xuan raised his eyelids, but instead of looking at the weasel, he looked at Chen Xi, with a faint smile in his eyes, and replied, "Maybe it's a borrowed seed."

Chen Xi let out a sigh: "This world...is really careless, there is no reproductive isolation at all, demons, ghosts, gods, gods and humans can have children with each other."

In the wedding room, the bride got up and changed her clothes rustlingly, then stopped by the door, hesitated for a moment, then went back to sit down.

Chen Xi sighed. In the whole story, the most pitiful person is the bride.He jumped out of the window sill and followed the groom silently.

Sun Dalang followed the weasel to a big house in a daze, feeling something was wrong.

The bride turned her head and smiled at him: "I'm not used to living in your house, how about Mr. Lang staying with me at my mother's house for a few days?"

Sun Dalang nodded in confusion.

The bride happily pulled out the hairpin and knocked on the door.

"Squeak..."

The little girl opened the door.

Chen Xi could see clearly that the mansion was an illusion, in front of Sun Dalang was a grave, the little girl was a paper doll, and there was a nest of weasels in the grave. The cave was dry and tidy, and dried meat hung on the wall.

Not human flesh.

"cough."

Chen Xi cleared his throat.

The weasel was so frightened that its tail was bristling and its hair stood on end. The big weasel in the tomb rushed out and bared its teeth and claws at Chen Xi.

"Wild Taoist, stop meddling in your own business!"

"I drank the wedding wine for the newcomers, wishing them a happy marriage for a hundred years, and I will never lose my word." Chen Xi waved his whisk, and a space barrier rose around him, blocking the prying eyes that might exist, revealing his aura of coercion.

Sun Dalang fainted, the Weasel family withdrew their bodies, the illusion of the mansion failed, and the maids and servants in the cave lost their spirituality and turned back into paper figurines.

"Immortal, please forgive me!" The male weasel was able to bend and stretch, and kowtowed on the ground when things were not going well: "The little demon has never killed anyone, and even helped drive out the evil mandrill in the village. It's just that the little girl is grown up, and my husband and I don't want her to go out." This is why Sun Dalang is getting vaccinated while he is married, it won’t hurt his life, and he will be released when the little girl is born.”

Chen Xi shook his head: "You have lived here for many years, if you really want to borrow seeds, there are many opportunities, why choose the day of marriage?"

The little weasel couldn't stop bowing, and said with righteous indignation: "Sun Dalang once said that he wanted to marry me. Although I never thought about marrying him, how could he marry someone else without his word?"

Chen Xi asked: "Sun Dalang knows you are a demon?"

The little weasel stuck his neck and didn't answer.

The mother weasel pressed her daughter's head with her front paws, held her daughter down, and said in her mouth: "Immortal Rong Rong, that was all ten years ago. The little girl just learned illusion and met Sun Dalang. Children's jokes."

The male weasel also admitted his mistake: "The little demon is wrong about this matter, so I will send Sun Dalang back, and then move away."

Chen Xi nodded, stroked the dragon horn whisk in his hand, and asked, "Are there any evil spirits nearby?"

The male weasel's fur exploded, his tail stretched straight, and he said slowly: "There is a mandrill in Beishan, who likes to eat people; there was a fox in Nanshan, and it moved away not long ago, saying to seek refuge with relatives; after the fox left, a vicious beast came from the mountain A dog; ten miles away, there is a Shuimang ghost setting up a tea stand to find a substitute. If it is farther away, the little demon will not know."

The little weasel suddenly raised his head and said: "Fifty miles away, there is Lanruo Temple in the mountains in the northern suburbs of Jinhua. The grandma in the temple controls tens of thousands of ghosts. Sun Dalang's sister was taken away by Yasha under grandma. The fairy

People want to be chivalrous..."

"Crack." The male weasel slapped the daughter unconscious, "Immortal forgive me, my little girl doesn't know that the tree demon grandma has been killed by you."

Chen Xi was curious: "You are well informed."

The male weasel said honestly: "The little demon has a friend in the underworld. It is said that in addition to the tree demon's grandma in the Bone Forest, a ghost king died in the underworld a while ago. It was very chaotic. It was rumored that it was Lord Long who took over Lan Ruo. The monastery serves as a dojo, and demons and ghosts are not allowed to approach for hundreds of miles. The little demon was lucky enough to meet a dragon when he was young, and he smelled the dragon aura on your whisk..."

Chen Xi continued to ask: "It's less than a hundred miles away from Lanruo Temple, why don't you move away?"

"The little demon thought that there were no big rivers and lakes near Lanruo Temple, so he didn't believe it. Besides..." The male weasel spoke louder: "Longjun is a righteous god. My family does not do evil, so there is no need to be afraid."

Chen Xi glanced at the fainted Sun Dalang.

The righteous weasel immediately rolled up its tail and retracted its neck.

Chen Xi asked again: "What news is there in the ghost world?"

"Next year's beauty pageant in Baihua Valley invites Yan Wang to be the judge!"

The male weasel blurted out, and when he finished speaking, the female weasel next to him gave him a hard look. The male weasel shrank his neck and shifted his gaze guiltily.

"Valley of Hundred Flowers?"

"Baihua Valley is Baihua Mountain. It is a small world with murals as the entrance. There are Qingqiu fox fairies, ghosts/devil ghosts, fairies and celestial girls. There are all kinds of beauties you want. Baihua Valley chooses ten beauties every ten years. Two Immortals, only existences like the King of Hades can be the guests of the Immortals..."

The more Chen Xi heard it, the more something was wrong, and he frowned slightly: "Is that a brothel?"

"How can you say..." The male weasel retorted loudly, and was scratched by the female weasel. He suddenly remembered who he was in front of him, and flinched: "The fairies in Baihua Valley are all spirit bodies. A night of double cultivation can equal ten years of hard work, not gentleness." A place like Baigulin in the township...Of course, with the talent of a fairy, there must be a fairy who is willing to ask for a pillow mat."

Mo Xuan raised his eyelids.

The male weasel felt chills all over his body and his teeth chattered.

Chen Xi took out a gourd and put the family of three into the gourd.

"Reform through hard labor and practice hard."

Chen Xi screwed on the plug, and the gourd glowed faintly.

The fluorescence quickly disappeared, and the weasels in the gourd were also sent back to Xichen Dojo.

Chen Xi put away the Dragon Horn Fuchen and replaced it with a Divine Bone Fuchen, and only then did he unlock the barrier and wake up Sun Dalang.

Sun Dalang woke up like a dream and found himself lying in front of the grave, jumping up in fright.

"Master Dao, I'm meeting a ghost..."

"The monster is gone, go back, the real bride has been waiting for you at home."

Chen Xi swept his whisk over his head to drive away bad luck.

Sun Dalang forgot his fear, felt that his body was soaked in hot water, and the chill in his bones was soaked out. He wanted to get close to Chen Xi, but he couldn't get within three feet, and he sighed in his heart.

Chen Xi suddenly asked: "Ten years ago, you made a marriage contract with someone?"

Sun Dalang chuckled honestly: "It's a joke, that's my wife. At that time, my wife was only seven years old, she lost her way and cried on the grave, I pulled her out, she still cried and said that men and women could not get married, I promised to marry her." She stopped crying."

"Before we got married, the matchmaker took me to see the lady quietly. When I saw her, I remembered the events of that year. Although she looked different, I still remember the cinnabar mole under the lady's eyes clearly. Fate..."

Chen Xi heard Sun Dalang say how good his wife is, she made him snacks, embroidered handkerchiefs, shoes that don't hurt his feet at all, and sachets and fan bags, etc.

"Do you like the little girl back then, or your wife?"

Sun Dalang was puzzled: "They are all alone. I will definitely let the lady live a happy life that everyone envies."

"Remember your words."

Chen Xi took Sun Dalang back to Sun's house, and with a wave of dust, all the guests in the room came to life.

Sun Dalang told his parents about being rescued by Daoist Chang Qing, the two elders of the Sun family were naturally very grateful, and the bride in the new house also came out to kowtow to Chen Xi together with Sun Dalang.

Chen Xi grabbed two dates from the table and handed them to the two, wishing, "Bring a precious son early."

It was already dawn, and Chen Xi said goodbye.

The two elders of the Sun family hurriedly brought out gold and silver, Zhang Liehu took out the tiger skins from his family's collection to beg for his eldest son's wife, and those who asked Chen Xi to exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases also sent thank-you gifts, including live chickens and ducks with tied feet, and small baskets Eggs, a stack of straw sandals, bacon...

Chen Xi waved his hand and asked everyone to take their things back and came to the ancestral hall in the village.

In front of the ancestral hall, there is a drying stone platform. There is a large stone piled beside the stone platform. It is a large stone mill passed down from the old year. Last year, there was a new one, so this one was abandoned. In the spiritual vision, the stone mill was filled with fireworks and red dust, and it was close to spiritual material.

Chen Xi stretched out his hand to wipe, and the weeds and soil on the stone mill fell off, returning to the original stone color of blue-gray.He turned his head to look at Mo Xuan, and asked silently. Seeing Mo Xuan nodding, he smiled and said, "I'll take the gift myself."

As he spoke, he held up a heavy boulder with one hand like he was holding cotton. In the blink of an eye, the person had drifted away, leaving a pair of three-inch-deep footprints in place, and a strange chanting sound from afar.

The child clapped his hands and followed by saying: "Self-reliance and self-improvement, benevolence, righteousness and friendliness, honesty and justice, morality is the most important thing, good fortune and spiritual development..."

Everyone looked at each other.

"This is a real fairy!"

Chen Xi held the boulder, and after leaving the sight of the villagers, he handed the stone to Mo Xuan.

Dozens of lines of faith have been added to the sea of ​​consciousness, and the power of faith is continuously coming in. Other than that, there are no other changes.

Chen Xi looked up at the sky, and murmured: "It's fine to punish the evil, promote the good, cure the disease and save people, but it's your nature that is enhanced by good fortune and spirituality. Shouldn't you give some merit and luck?"

A bean-sized golden light floated in front of Chen Xi and sank into his palm.

Ho!

Chen Xi was startled, and grabbed Mo Xuan's shoulder.

"Is this a delay in the Dao of Heaven? Or did the Dao of Heaven give birth to intelligent communication?"

Mo Xuan said: "Heaven has spirit, but no wisdom, just like a newborn baby."

Babies can be taught.

Chen Xi thought for a while, then continued: "Ghosts who can only devour spirit energy have luck. I treat you so well, why don't you give me some luck?"

A trace of luck as fine as a wheat awn was born out of thin air and landed on top of Chen Xi's head.

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Too little."

The air luck changes from a wheat awn to a needle point.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Not enough, Nie Xiaoqian's is a hundred times bigger than mine."

Luck has not changed.

Chen Xi pressed his chin with the dust whisk, feeling that the heavens in this world are really strange.

Mo Xuan has even seen the Heavenly Dao of Transformation several times. It is not surprising that this kind of Heavenly Dao with only simple spirituality has long been seen. To him, the Heavenly Dao that cannot communicate is not a world.

The two headed north, and Chen Xi found the dark and evil spirit in the lingering Yin and Ghost Qi, put the mandrill into the gourd, and sent it to the dojo to do coolies.

Chen Xi looked up and asked, "Do you have merit?"

A golden light the size of a sesame seed landed on Chen Xi's palm and sank into it.

If it wasn't for Chen Xi's keen inspiration, he still wouldn't be able to see it.

After turning over Beishan, there is an official road. After walking not far, you can see a tea shed at the fork in front of you.
