The Ascension of Ghosts

Seeing his serious expression, Lu Sheng became nervous for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Xie Rong said: "Before the Mie Ming spider web, Li Ying was in a turmoil and lost all vigilance, so I did some tricks."

Lu Sheng cheered up: "Really? Li Ying, that despicable villain, deserves to be tampered with... What did you do?"

Xie Rong said, "Put on your clothes first."

Lu Sheng looked slightly embarrassed, he reluctantly got up from Xie Rong's warm arms, dressed slowly, Xie Rong also groomed, and after the two combed and tied each other's hair, Xie Rong took out a stack of white silk cloth from his sleeve.

The silk cloth was shaken, and there was a black shadow of a human figure on it, which fluttered with the night wind, and under the light of the stars, the figure was graceful and lifelike.

Lu Sheng didn't expect that he would actually take the Taoist priest's treasure, and stammered, "No, I don't ask for it, yes, it's for..."

Xie Rong sneered and said, "Don't ask yourself, what you take is something. He trapped Li Sanniang for 500 years, and this move is just a hero to save the beauty."

Lu Sheng couldn't help but glanced at him, and then sneered, "Master Hou is really righteous, he is very righteous, and he is a hero in the world."

Xie Rong threw the white silk in her hand into the fire, and sighed: "Baoyang, Empress Xiaowu is just a poor person."

Mrs. Li was born in a commoner family, and her parents made a living by music and dance. Although she has no worries about food and clothing, music performance is not a highly respected profession after all.

Even so, once she enters the palace, she will be favored for many years, and she can be buried with the queen's ceremony after her fragrance fades away, so that the whole family can be kept rich and prosperous. Hou; his brother Li Yannian served as the captain of Xielu; his son Liu Wei was granted the title of King of Changyi.When General Huo Guang assisted the government, he followed the long-cherished wish of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and granted Mrs. Li the honorary title of Empress Xiaowu, and she deserved to enjoy the Taimiao.

Her short life was full of splendor and splendor like fireworks, which made many people envious.

When it came to Xie Rong's mouth, how could he become a poor person?

When the white silk met the fire, it burned cleanly in the blink of an eye, and a wisp of black smoke floated out from the fire, and slowly condensed into the figure of a woman in palace attire no more than a foot long, suspended in the air, bowing down to Xie Rong.

Xie Rong said: "The Emperor of Han loved her for her beautiful color and enchanting dancing posture. She built the Chonghua Palace and the golden house to hide her beauty, but like a dragon trapped in shallow water and a phoenix trapped in a narrow cage, her ambition cannot be stretched, her pride cannot be displayed. If she can die, she will be clean. But Unexpectedly, Li Ying came to meddle again and imprisoned her for another 500 years, unable to survive or die, it is naturally pitiful."

Lu Sheng unconsciously nodded and sighed, "It's really pitiful."

After finishing speaking, he came back to his senses, and turned to sneer: "It turns out that Mr. Xie has long understood that Jinwu Zangjiao is for his own selfishness?"

Xie Rong's eyes were soft, and she turned to look at him with a smile: "What Baoyang said is that he is blaming me for hiding someone?"

How could Lu Sheng say it?For a while, he could only stare at Xie Rong in silence.

Xie Rong said: "Baoyang, if I really want to hide, I should break your legs, put on shackles, and lock you up in the courtyard of the deep house. Except me, I won't let anyone in this world look at you, let alone your eyes." Anyone but me."

Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really never thinking about it?"

Xie Rong sighed regretfully: "It's natural to think about it. Even at this moment, I wish I could imprison you in a golden house, isolate you from the world, and no one can disturb you. But if you really do this, with Baoyang's Temperament, if I don't fight to the death, the net is broken, and the death is endless, then it is not Lu Baoyang."

Lu Sheng didn't know why his ears were hot, so he turned away from him and snorted forcefully, "Thank you, who knows me."

Xie Rong smiled gently, turned to look at the black shadow of Mrs. Li who had been neglected for a long time, and her tone became cold: "Why is Mrs. Li still unwilling to leave?"

The black figure raised his head and pointed with his right hand into the depths of the willow forest, but he couldn't speak. He pointed for a moment, then turned his head and saw that the two of them were unmoved, and switched hands again, still pointing in the same direction.

Lu Sheng said: "She is probably showing us the way, but I don't know what way she is referring to."

Xie Rong didn't dislike him for his unnecessary actions, but said: "Then ask."

He took off another blue-gray accessory from his waist and threw it beside Mrs. Li's black shadow. The accessory turned into blue smoke from halfway, congealing into a blue-white shadow of the same size as a foot, but it was a petite woman sitting in the green On the back of the ox, he leaned over and saluted, "Qingtao has seen you, Young Master."

Xie Rong said, "Ask her what she wants to say."

Qingtao agreed, and drove Qingniu to the side of the black shadow, listened intently, and then reported: "Mrs. Li said, with the help of Mr. Li, I will finally be able to escape after 500 years of imprisonment. There is no way to repay the great kindness, so I can only use it up." Mianli. Mrs. Li has a feeling in the dark, and there is a god in a hundred miles to the west, which is probably what you need."

Xie Rong's expression didn't move, she just said: "Madam Li has a heart."

The black shadow was blessed, and turned around on the spot for a few times, with its long sleeves fluttering and its skirt soaring into the clouds, it was as happy as a young girl, while spinning, its figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared without a trace.Seeing the black shadow behaving happily, Qingtao also covered her sleeves and smiled, followed Fushen, patted Qingniu's head lightly, and disappeared.

After Lu Sheng watched the two ghosts disappear, he realized that there was no fear in his heart—as expected, ghosts, monsters, ghosts and monsters could not stop scaring him.He sighed in a low voice: "Whether it's Li Sanniang, Qingtao... or Mrs. Huang who killed her husband in Yizhou... Women in this world are poor people."

Chengen in the morning and death in the evening, don't be a woman in life, and the bitterness and joy of a hundred years will be left to others.

Xie Rong said: "So you don't want to harm another woman."

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he didn't know what was going on in his heart for a moment, and said blankly, "Brother said, my sister-in-law has a cousin from my natal family, who is right in line with me..."

Xie Rong said: "That little girl from the Wu family has had a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, and she lives in the Qiao family estate next door. It's just that Qiao Dalang's family is poor, and he can't even make up the dowry. Therefore, I entrust the Zhou family to find a suitable family."

Lu Sheng picked up a few twigs and threw them into the bonfire. The flames gradually ignited again. Looking at the flickering flames, he couldn't help sighing, "You really know everything."

Xie Rong said again: "It's a coincidence that the Qiao family village is under my name."

Lu Sheng simply sat down cross-legged, squinting at him, "So?"

Xie Rong said with a smile: "Another coincidence, the Er Zhuang of Qiao's Village is old and came to beg for the elderly a few days ago. By the way, he recommended Qiao Dalang to take over the position, and praised him for his safe and reliable behavior."

Lu Sheng followed with a sneer: "Sure enough, it's a coincidence, Mr. Xie... The coincidences of Xie Hou's family can always write a good show."

Xie Rong pretended not to be able to hear his cynicism, but still smiled softly: "I agreed. Qiao Dalang was the head of the second village. He was diligent and dedicated. The Wu family proposed marriage, and now the two families should have reached an agreement."

He gently stroked the smooth hair on the back of Lu Sheng's head, and said softly, "Baoyang, isn't this a happy ending?"

Lu Sheng said with a stern face: "Master Hou is beautiful as an adult, he deserves to be an elegant person."

Xie Rong said: "It's also because of good luck that we can deal with it easily. If she wants to marry you..."

Hearing his tone turn cold, Lu Sheng grabbed Xie Rong's wrist and said with wide eyes, "If that's the case, what should you do?"

If so, it is nothing more than a murder.

But Xie Rong didn't speak. The night was dark and the fire light was erratic, which just covered the dark shadows in his eyes that suddenly deepened. He just leaned over and kissed the corners of Lu Sheng's eyes, and said softly, "Don't think wildly, so you can rest and recharge your energy." Rui, we have to hurry tomorrow."

He summoned Bi Fang, but it was just a dark red light, like a candle that was burnt out, and it was about to go out in the blink of an eye. He was ordered to float above the willow forest for vigilance.

Lu Sheng had no choice but to lean against the tree, and Xie Rong sat shoulder to shoulder with his clothes on.

There was nothing to say all night, and when the sky was twilight, Lu Sheng moved his sore limbs, stood up, and kicked the black scabbard with one foot. Very convenient."

Bi Fang had already hunted two hares, but it was a pity that there was no seasoning, and the delicious taste was somewhat compromised.After eating and drinking enough, he finally regained most of his strength, and then Lu Sheng became more energetic, and said loudly, "Let's go!"

Xie Rong was the same as before, flicking the hem of his clothes leisurely, and said with a smile: "Let's go."

Then he went in the direction Mrs. Li pointed.

Although the two traveled quickly, the mountains, forests and rocky slopes were endless, and there were no roads that anyone could walk on. The two walked across the mountains and ridges for three full days, but they did not see any abnormalities.It was around noon on the third day that I saw a mountain depression, towering on three sides and facing the water on one side, which is said to be like a tiger dominating a dragon.

Finally, artificial signs appeared in the depression. The rock formations on the three sides were polished smooth, like a huge blue stone mirror, over a hundred feet high and tens of feet wide. , Countless figures, and because of the lack of clarity of the bluestone mirror, the faces of all the reflections are blurred and blue, as if surrounded by countless monsters.

The gigantic rock was so majestic and majestic, Lu Sheng couldn't help hesitating outside the mountain depression, hesitatingly said: "Ah Rong, what kind of mechanism is this that can't make it into an illusion?"

Xie Rong said, "You guess."

Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, he stroked his chin and thought to himself.He expected that Xie Rong would not make him guess for no reason, so there must be some clues that he hadn't noticed yet.

He started from going up the mountain, recalled the experiences and knowledge along the way, suddenly opened his eyes, and said with a strange expression: "If you have to say something about the relationship between the previous and the current experience...the only word is Shuiyue. The monk of Xingshan Temple Chang loves to say: For example, the dew in the morning, the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror, everything is empty. After the moon in the water...so there are flowers in the mirror?"

Xie Rong smiled, and didn't say whether he was right or wrong, and asked directly: "How to break it?"

Lu Sheng replied without hesitation: "If you break the mirror, it will naturally break."

Xie Rong smiled and asked again: "In this case, which side should be broken?"

Lu Sheng put his arms around his chest and looked up. There was no slight difference between the three giant rocks. It was really hard to tell them apart, so he said, "In my opinion, all three sides will be smashed."

Xie Rong nodded and said, "It's up to you."

He just took a step forward when he was caught by Lu Sheng. The young hero couldn't help showing a bit of anxiety, and asked, "Wait, wait, Ah Rong, are you really going to smash them all? If... it's wrong, what should I do?" good?"

Xie Rong said: "If you make a mistake, it doesn't matter much, if you are left, the tripod will destroy people."

Lu Sheng was furious, and grabbed Xie Rong's arm even tighter, "You want to die again?"

Xie Rong's smile deepened, she turned around and stroked the back of Lu Sheng's hand, "Fool, with you here, how can I be willing to die?"

Lu Sheng's heart throbbed a little, but he heard Xie Rong say again: "...wouldn't it be cheaper for others."

Lu Sheng straightened his face and said, "If Master Hou is in a hurry, why don't you go to work first?"

This time it was Xie Rong's turn to be slightly stunned: "Work?"

Lu Sheng raised his chin and gestured to the three-sided rock: "Smash it."

Xie Rong was silent, but still walked into the valley under Lu Sheng's suddenly domineering gaze, and stood in front of the nearest bluestone mirror.

The author has something to say: the morning is grace, the evening is death, life should not be a woman, and the bitterness and joy of a hundred years will be left to others.From Bai Juyi.
