The local ancestral hall was built in modern times. Later, anyone in the "family" who has earned money or has a little ability will donate money to repair it again. Of course, poor wood will not be used to build the ancestral hall. Yun Qingcen just walked into the ancestral hall. You can smell the fragrance of wood, which is not stale. There are patterns of auspicious clouds written on the pillars of the top beam, and there are hollow bat patterns on the beams.

No matter who enters this ancestral hall, it must be said that it is perfectly built. The ancestral hall has an open-air vestibule, a well in the middle, and several jars on both sides. The corridor with eaves, tourists are not allowed to enter here, and it is usually only opened when the town discusses major issues and worships ancestors.

Walking in from the vestibule is the main hall. There is a wooden high platform in the main hall. There are candlesticks on the bottom floor, and the above is the memorial tablet.

Some are old, some are new, the top, the highest tablet looks like it was newly made in the past few decades, with two words engraved on it - Teng Jing.

Just when Yun Qingcen was about to take a step forward, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, the moon above his head was covered by clouds, and the shadows under his feet were much blurred.

Zhou Xuyao ​​stood at the gate of the ancestral hall. From the moment Yun Qingcen stepped into the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall seemed to be covered by an invisible hood. No matter how he called Yun Qingcen's name, Yun Qingcen inside seemed to be He couldn't hear it, and he couldn't walk in. When he came out, he didn't bring a talisman, and he didn't have yellow paper or cinnabar in his hand. Even if he used blood as sand, he couldn't do without "paper" to carry it.

The cloudy wind hadn't dissipated yet, Yun Qingcen found that the wind seemed to have self-awareness, it passed by him, and seemed to be aware of his existence suddenly, then turned around and surrounded him, Yun Qingcen A little curious, he has always been a curious person, he stretched out his fingers, and sure enough another gust of wind wrapped around his fingertips.

Yun Qingcen smiled, he withdrew his hand, turned his head to look at the door leading to the backyard, the wind seemed to surround him, and gently pushed him to walk over.

This is the first time that Yun Qingcen did not resist being "guided". He followed the wind through the small gate next to the ancestral hall, stepped over the threshold, stepped on the stone slab, and saw a sweet-scented osmanthus tree, which is still withered , Just wait for the season to be able to float out the cinnamon again.

There are two rows of wing rooms in the backyard of the ancestral hall, but all of them are sundries for sacrificial offerings.

Yun Qingcen didn't need to open the door to go in. He was standing next to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and the wind surrounding him dissipated. There was a dead tree next to him, but Yun Qingcen always felt that he could smell the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

It's very light, but it's because of the lightness that people can't help sniffing it lightly.

Yun Qingcen raised the volume with a smile: "Won't you come out after pretending to be a ghost for so long?"

Yun Qingcen suppressed her smile instantly: "I'll leave if I don't come out."

His words fell silent, but the courtyard was still silent, there was no one and no ghosts, let alone spirits.

Yun Qingcen waited for a while, then turned around and walked out quickly, but the door that was just opened was closed in front of his eyes.

Yun Qingcen sneered: "Those who hide their hands and feet, think I can't get out?"

Yun Qingcen's eyes were dark, and he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Be careful, don't be caught by me."

Yun Qingcen kicked open the wooden door, and when the door opened to both sides, the man stood at the door.

The man who just sat on the sedan chair appeared here now. He was still wearing a black robe with tiger stripes embroidered with black thread. Under the moonlight, he was a whole body. The robe glowed with light, and the mask on his face was still ferocious and rough.

Yun Qingcen looked at the man, and the man looked at him.

"Teng Jing?" Yun Qingcen asked with a smile.

Teng Jing's voice was hoarse. He didn't take off the mask on his face, but said, "Since the guest is here, why don't you stay for a while?"

Yun Qingcen raised her eyebrows and asked, "It's fine for me to stay, what will you entertain me with?"

Just as Yun Qingcen finished speaking, Teng Jing waved his sleeves. The ancestral hall, which was empty just now, is now filled with desks and long tables. There are guests coming and going, and the tablets on the high platform are gone, replaced by singer Wu Ji's singing and dancing were accompanied by someone playing to add to the fun. These ghosts seemed to be still alive, and their behavior was no different from that of living people.

They even say hello to each other, bow to each other, wear fancy clothes and jade ornaments.

Teng Jing suddenly said: "It was just a place to entertain guests back then."

With another wave of Teng Jing's hand, the illusion dissipated like a mirage in an instant.

Yun Qingcen looked at Teng Jing, and he said interestingly: "I heard that you were only 25 when you died."

Teng Jing nodded slightly.

There was a smile in Teng Jing's voice: "My family will die in your hands."

Yun Qingcen knew who Teng Jing was talking about when he thought about it the next year. His expression was gentle and his brows were affectionate: "Shouldn't it be said that he is dead?"

Teng Jing: "It's your ability to eat him."

Yun Qingcen suddenly asked: "Let me ask, do you eat children?"

Teng Jing said coldly: "Sucking children's souls is a despicable act."

Yun Qingcen: "..."

It's still interesting for the ancients to speak, like him, he must not be able to say the word "cheesy" with such charm.

But Yun Qingcen said more curiously: "Since I ate your subordinate officials, are you not afraid that I will eat you too?"

Teng Jing suddenly laughed, as if laughing at Yun Qingcen's overreach, but Yun Qingcen didn't feel offended, nor did he find Teng Jing annoying—it was because Teng Jing's voice and manner were too alright.

Even if he is a general, Teng Jing should be a Confucian general. Although his voice is hoarse, it will not make people feel unpleasant. Even if he only listens to his voice and does not look at his face, people will think that he is a person with a heart full of hills and valleys, like a clear breeze and a bright moon. .

Yun Qingcen will always be more patient with people who are good-looking and have a nice voice, especially if this person still makes him feel fresh.

"You have been dead for more than 1000 years and have been staying in this town?" Yun Qingcen asked.

Teng Jing: "When he was killed and surrendered, he went to the underworld to judge his crimes. Teng was imprisoned in the endless hell, and he was able to see the light of day again in recent years."

Yun Qingcen sighed: "Can you speak vernacular?"

Teng Jing turned his head, his amber eyes looked at Yun Qingcen through the mask, he smiled and said, "Not white enough?"

Yun Qingcen curled her lips: "General, there are ghosts in this ancient town who suck the souls of children, do you know that?"

Teng Jing: "It is precisely for this matter that I came here."

Yun Qingcen: "Oh, then how are you going to solve it?"

Teng Jing gave Yun Qingcen a strange look: "Despicable ghosts or spirits will naturally have to disappear in order to conform to the way of heaven."

Yun Qingcen blinked: "Is it still in line with the way of heaven that you escaped from hell by yourself?"

Teng Jing: "The two are not related."

Yun Qingcen made a gesture of invitation: "Then please invite the general. I will follow the general and see how you can make the ghosts disappear."

"As for why you trapped me here, General, how about an explanation?"

Yun Qingcen touched his chin, and said shamelessly: "Did you take a fancy to my beauty and want to rob civilian men?"

Teng Jing: "..."

Yun Qingcen laughed: "General, give me a reason before you can leave."

Yun Qingcen stretched his body, he stretched without hesitation in front of Teng Jing, yawned and said, "It shouldn't be an accident that I will come here, right?"

Originally Yun Qingcen thought that Teng Jing would not answer, but Teng Jing said openly: "It's a coincidence."

Yun Qingcen smiled: "Is it a coincidence that you trapped me here?"

The black mist gathered behind Yun Qingcen, billowing like dark clouds, full of hostility.

However, Teng Jing didn't seem to see it, and he said calmly: "When I escaped from the endless hell, I separated a ray of soul to explore the way, and there was no trace after this ray of soul. You have the aura of my soul on your body, but you have nothing to do with me when you come here."

Teng Jing: "As for my general... Although he was lost at your hands, it is not a battlefield. The two fight each other and win or lose. I don't blame you."

Yun Qingcen: "You are quite reasonable. I have met many people, and I don't know which one is your soul."

Teng Jing said: "Then I can only find it myself."

Yun Qingcen: "How to find it?"

Teng Jing looked at Yun Qingcen, Yun Qingcen understood, pointed at himself with a half-smile and said: "The general wants to follow me?"

Teng Jing: "If you help, I will offer you a generous gift."

Yun Qingcen raised her eyebrows: "What gift? Say it first, I don't want useless ones, and I don't want cheap ones."

Teng Jing smiled: "I have a whip, which was made by the ancient gods. One whip of this whip can save people's lives, two whips can kill people's lives, and three whips can reverse yin and yang."

Yun Qingcen's eyes lit up: "The general didn't lie to me, did he? Where's the whip?"

The knife that Zhou Xuyao ​​gave him was not very useful to him, and it could only be used for twenty to ten minutes against the evil spirit.

Teng Jing raised his hand, his wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, he spread his palm, and a long whip appeared in Teng Jing's hand.

Yun Qingcen's eyes can be brightened. This whip looks extremely soft in Teng Jing's hand, but it is glowing with coldness. It looks like it is made of fine iron. There are layers of iron armor on the whip like snake scales. Holding back, he took a step forward.

But Teng Jing had already retracted the long whip.

He said to Yun Qingcen: "After the matter is completed, there will be a thank you."

The black mist behind Yun Qingcen surged even more violently, but Teng Jing said unhurriedly: "I advise you not to take action no matter what you are thinking now, I don't want to hurt you."

Yun Qingcen also calmed down, Teng Jing's family was so useless to beat him up, let alone Teng Jing himself.

Don't let him lose a lot of things first if he doesn't grab the things or take the benefits.

So Yun Qingcen restrained the mist, and said with a gentle smile: "It is my honor to help the general."

When he got the whip, he lowered Teng Jing's defenses.

Maybe he can get things and people together, when the time comes...

Yun Qingcen was very flexible and said: "Where is the general going now?"

Teng Jing looked to the northwest: "Of course it is to deal with the goblins and ghosts that suck the souls of children. The people here are my descendants, and I will protect them."

Yun Qingcen stretched out his hand: "Please, General."

He followed Teng Jing and left the ancestral hall with him.

However, the two of them did not go through the main entrance, but turned into a wisp of smoke at the same time.

If Zhou Xuyao, who was still waiting at the door, felt something, he looked up and knew in his heart that he didn't have to wait.

When Yun Qingcen's feet hit the ground again, he had followed Teng Jing to the woods.

The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and water, and there are mountains on three sides. Some of these mountains have been developed, and some have not. The dirt road stepped on by wild animals is uneven, and there are puddles, and mud is splashed everywhere when you step on it.

Yun Qingcen asked: "The general thinks what is sucking the soul of the child?"

Teng Jing: "You don't need to ask, just check it out."

As soon as Teng Jing's words fell, Yun Qingcen saw him waving, and tens of thousands of Yin soldiers appeared almost out of thin air. With Teng Jing's wave, the Yin soldiers came out in full force, like tigers roaring in the forest.

The blood in Yun Qingcen's heart was agitated, his eyes widened slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be restrained.

There are many ghosts and ghosts in the mountains and forests. There are many pagoda trees in this mountain. The pagoda trees breed ghosts and spirits.

Some ghosts don't want to go to the city, and they can practice better in this kind of place - Yun Qingcen doesn't even know what they are practicing, after all, if they really absorb the essence of the moon according to the ancient method, how long will it take to absorb it?

If you really do that, a ghost who has been dead for 200 years might not be able to beat a new Taoist priest.

Yun Qingcen sighed: "The general is worthy of being a general, there are so many evil soldiers."

Zhou Xuyao's master passed down several generations, but only [-] Yin soldiers were passed down.

Yun Qingcen thought this was quite a lot before.

Teng Jing glanced at Yun Qingcen, his voice was very calm, even a little gentle: "Since I left Infernal Hell, I have gathered 40 Yin soldiers."

Yun Qingcen: "The general is going to fight the hell to the end?"

Teng Jing clasped his hands behind his back: "Could it be possible to catch him without a fight?"

Yun Qingcen sighed: "The general has guts."

He was a little envious, Teng Jing did have the capital of being aboveboard, he was strong, not only strong, but also had so many evil soldiers.

The underworld may not be able to call out 40 ghost messengers in a short period of time-after all, the underworld is an underworld, and the person in charge of the underworld is not just the King of Yama, the King of Yama of the Ten Palaces. If there are more people, the efficiency will not be so high.

What's more, there is no high-tech in the underworld.

The Yin soldiers went to sweep the forest, so Yun Qingcen found a stone, cleaned it and sat on it, looked up at the moon that was still covered by clouds, clapped his hands, and asked after seeing Teng Jing's prestige coming over: "What is the general going to do in the future? After finding that ray of spirit."

Teng Jing shook his head: "One step is one step."

Yun Qingcen: "If you don't reincarnate, you will disappear in smoke one day."

Teng Jing smiled: "Why don't you go to reincarnate, but suck my family general instead?"

Yun Qingcen spread his hands and said rascally: "Because I'm bored, and I don't want to be manipulated, I don't want to worry about the ghosts sent by the underworld to arrest me every day, but I'm different from you, General, I don't know how to gather There are so many Yin soldiers, the target is too big, you can hide the secret now, but it doesn't mean you will be able to in the future."

Teng Jing: "Don't bother."

This is the first time that Yun Qingcen has met such a soft-hearted person—or a ghost, he crossed his legs and rested his chin, like a childish boy: "General, has anyone told you that you are not very interesting?" .”

Teng Jing: "You are the first."

Yun Qingcen jumped up, he stood up straight, and walked in front of Teng Jing.

Teng Jing was taller than him, more than half a head taller. Yun Qingcen looked up at Teng Jing. It had been a long time since he looked up at anyone.

But this didn't make Yun Qingcen angry - when he figured out Teng Jing and thought of a way, he could even eat Teng Jing.

If you eat Tengjing...

How powerful he should be.

Even hell can be tough.

So Yun Qingcen didn't mind bowing his head - when he bowed his head in front of Zheng Shaowei before, he didn't feel that his self-esteem was insulted.

People have to pay a price for what they want.

It didn't take long for the Yin soldiers to return, and more than a dozen Yin soldiers escorted a spirit monster.

This monster has a human head, but its body is still that of a bird. It has grown hands, but its legs are still those of a bird. Its beak is also more protruding than that of ordinary people. Screaming non-stop.

It's just that its cry echoed in the forest, but it didn't attract any response.

"What kind of spirit is this?" Yun Qingcen rarely sees monsters—there are far fewer monsters than ghosts, and most of them hide in such deep mountains, and they dare not enter the human world without practicing for hundreds or thousands of years.

Most monsters have exhausted all their strength to become human beings, let alone harming people. Those who can harm people have at least a thousand years of Taoism.

Teng Jing: "Bird spirit."

Yun Qingcen: "..."

He knew it was a bird spirit, but he didn't know what species it was.

But it doesn't seem to matter what species it is.

The bird spirit was forced to kneel down on the mud floor. It looked up at Yun Qingcen and Teng Jing, its green eyes were full of resentment, and when it opened its mouth to speak, its voice was rough and unpleasant, as if someone had strangled it neck, it said viciously: "They are all ghosts, are you arresting me?"

Teng Jing: "You suck the souls of children, do you recognize it?"

The bird spirit snorted: "When will ghosts stop harming people, and won't let goblins harm you? You are pretending to be dogs, and you are no longer human."

The bird spirit was very courageous and reckless, it raised its head, allowing Yun Qingcen and Teng Jing to see its own neck: "If you want to kill, kill it."

Teng Jing asked: "You don't defend yourself?"

Niao Jing tilted her head and looked at Teng Jing: "What are you arguing? Can you speak well?! Crazy!"

Yun Qingcen smiled and said, "Don't you explain yourself?"

The bird spirit looked serious: "I eat people, just like people eat pigs. What is there to explain? People still eat birds! Why don't you catch someone and ask him how to explain it? I have lived so long, I will eat people instead of people." What? Eating grass? You caught me, kill me if you want, I rushed to reincarnate, anyway, the next life will be a beast, send me there earlier, I will practice sooner."

The bird spirit also said bitterly: "You ghosts are also baffled. You have nothing to do. You ghosts also harm people. There are more ghosts than us monsters. You have nothing to do when you have nothing to do."

Yun Qingcen: "What you said makes sense."

The bird spirit rolled his eyes.

Yun Qingcen: "But the truth changes with your position. If you are reborn as a human being in your next life, your position will be different from what it is now."

The bird spirit laughed a few times: "Being a human? I'm sure I won't be able to."

It's not easy to reincarnate into a human being, especially those who are in the animal realm. They need to have not done bad things in their ten lifetimes, but ordinary animals can't do anything bad either, and it's only possible to become a monster.

But those who have already cultivated into demons are all rushing to live forever, and don't think about reincarnation at all.

Therefore, once these cultivated monsters enter the underworld after death, it is equivalent to starting from scratch.

Yun Qingcen looked at Teng Jing, and he asked, "What does the general want to do? Kill it?"

Teng Jing nodded: "Naturally."

Teng Jing glanced at the Yin soldiers, and the Yin soldiers immediately surrounded the bird essence, and then divided and ate them. They tore off the bird essence's limbs and body, dug out its internal organs, and quickly ate them all. Not even a drop of blood was left.

Teng Jing said to Yun Qingcen: "My soldiers don't know etiquette very well, and they still need to be trained. Please forgive me for being an obstacle to viewing now."

Yun Qingcen waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's an eye-opener for me, did you find all your soldiers by yourself?"

How free that is.

Teng Jing: "Most of them are my clansmen, wandering around the town, I came back once a few decades ago, and I took them with me when I saw that they had nowhere to go, and now there are a lot more people."

Yun Qingcen rubbed his shoulders: "I have to go back and rest."

Yun Qingcen felt that he had already bid farewell to Teng Jing, and was just about to walk down the mountain, but within a few steps, he found Teng Jing following him.

And Teng Jing was following quietly, he was very aboveboard, Yun Qingcen stopped, there was still some doubt in his eyes, as if he was asking: "Why don't you leave?"

Yun Qingcen stopped to reason with Teng Jing: "General, why are you following me? I'll go back to sleep."

Teng Jing: "Then I'll sleep with you."

Yun Qingcen's mouth twitched.

Only then did Teng Jing realize that she had objections to what she said, but she still said in a very normal tone: "You sleep with yours, and I sleep with mine."

Yun Qingcen smiled. He walked up to Teng Jing, looked up into Teng Jing's eyes, his own eyes were slightly narrowed, and he said softly, "The general's last sentence is what you want to say, right?"

With a thicker skin, Yun Qingcen has never been afraid of anyone. He shrugged: "It's okay to sleep, the general let me see your face? Ugliness is not acceptable."

His eyes fluttered: "It is a sin for an ugly person to live."

Teng Jing didn't seem to agree: "Life is full of things, why is ugliness a sin?"

Yun Qingcen stared straight into Teng Jing's eyes: "Do you want to take off the mask?"

Teng Jing didn't have much attachment to the mask, and it wasn't that he couldn't live without the mask. He stretched out his hand and took off the mask on his face.

At that moment, the sun and the moon were dark.

Yun Qingcen was stunned.

He knew why Teng Jing was wearing a mask.

Teng Jing's face is so handsome, his eyes are gentle, his facial features are exquisite, his lips, eyebrows and eyes, all seem to be carved and pinched by the creator himself, a person created by Nuwa with painstaking efforts, the moonlight falls on Teng Jing like a silver glow On his face and body, the person who looked at him didn't even dare to breathe, it seemed that if he breathed, the person would disappear.

But Yun Qingcen was only stunned for two seconds - no matter how good-looking she is, she is not as good-looking as him.

Apart from him, Teng Jing should be the most beautiful person he has ever met.

This made Yun Qingcen even more interested.

He likes good-looking people, but not people who can control him.

Both Teng Jing's face and figure are exactly what Yun Qingcen likes.

In Yun Qingcen's view, anyone who looks too different from himself is not good enough for him.

But Teng Jing is obviously not a ghost he can control casually.

But if there is one person in the crowd who controls everything, it has to be him.

And Yun Qingcen really likes Teng Jing's face.

He looked at the face and smiled.

He has always been a very confident person, so confident that he is arrogant.

Even if the general in front of him is stronger than him, he will make him bow down willingly.

Well, he is greedy for this person's body.

After tasting it, eat the other party, killing two birds with one stone.
