After inheriting the antique shop

The blue bird sent a text message to Yin Qian, and then came to the window, opened her hands and shook them, and they became a pair of blue wings.

The arm-high bird flew out of the window and headed into the distance.

Yin Gan was still accompanying Xu Chengyin to eat shredded pork noodles with green vegetables in the restaurant. It was difficult for the exquisite and luxurious Director Yin to stay with him in this small noodle restaurant. What he ordered was not the most expensive one, but ordinary shredded pork noodles with green vegetables.

Of course, it was ordered by Xu Chengyin, but Yin Gan didn't change his face when he ate it, and he seemed to be enjoying it.

Yin Qian glanced at the message after receiving the message, and wanted to call back, but hesitated for a while and put the phone back in his pocket.

Xu Chengyin narrowed his eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Qingniao said to go to Tong's Village," Yin Gan said, "She should know what to do now. This girl has a strong self-esteem. How can she bear being used as a breakthrough today? If she can't solve it this time, she doesn't have to do it again." Come back and see me."

Xu Chengyin took a sip of the noodles: "Director Yin is well-mannered."

"It's not Yuxiayoufang, it's because I understand her." Yin Gan said suddenly, "If one day I leave the Ghost Bureau, then the next one to replace me will be Qingniao, she is the most suitable candidate."

Xu Chengyin nodded, took two mouthfuls of soup with a spoon, wiped his mouth, got up and gave him a wink: "Let's go, if you're worried, go and have a look secretly."

Yin Gan looked at Xu Chengyin's half bowl of noodles left, and stretched out his hand to pull him back: "Don't worry, eat more."

"I'm full." Xu Chengyin glanced at him, with a half-smile, "You really don't want to go?"

Yin Qian looked at him.

"Okay." Xu Chengyin understood, and instead took Yin Qian's hand and pulled him up from his seat, "Go if you want."

Didn't Xu Chengyin know about him? Since he was a child, he's been duplicity since he was a child, and he pretends to be calm and confident, but in fact he may not know what kind of worry he has in his heart.

Before going to Tongjia Village, Qingniao secretly wrote down the route, and now flew to the destination very quickly, and stopped on the roof of the ancestral hall in the village.

The villagers of Tongjia Village couldn't see the blue bird, so the blue bird swaggered and scraped a piece of tile with its claws, looking in from above.

The shattered Queen Mother of the West has been cleared away, and the villagers took their own small statues and placed them in the ancestral hall in an attempt to temporarily calm the empress' anger.

But in places that ordinary people can't see, some mountain spirits are fighting for these statues.

Before, a mouse spirit took the seat of the statue of the Queen Mother of the West, but now that mouse spirit has been slaughtered by some good brother, and the oppressed and ambitious little spirits came out in full force.

The villagers here are frowning, and the little monster is fighting fiercely.

The corner of Qingniao's mouth twitched, she felt that she didn't need to make a move at all, and after a while, it would probably be killing each other here.

However, most of those little monsters were equally divided, and they were beaten so badly that they didn't have a clear winner.

Blue Bird shook his head, flew off the roof and swaggered in in human form, standing still in front of the group of spirits who were still fighting each other: "Let's all go."

Those who were still working stopped and looked at this woman who appeared out of nowhere inexplicably.

"Who are you?"

Blue Bird smiled slightly: "From now on, this is my temple."

The rest of the spirits were silent for three seconds, and then roared with laughter.

"Where's the little girl, she has a big tone."

Blue Bird raised her hand, and before everyone could react, she dodged behind the monster who had just spoken, and grabbed the opponent's neck.

The other party couldn't move, and he was weakly grasping the hand that was pinching his neck, his face was flushed.

Everyone didn't see Qingniao's movements clearly, and the little demon in her hand showed pain again, no one dared to be careless, and looked at this woman vigilantly.

Seeing that the other party was about to be strangled to death, Qingniao let go of his hand, looked down at the little monster who collapsed on the ground and breathed heavily: "Get lost."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, at this moment there was still someone who wanted to sneak attack, Qingniao seemed to be aware of it, and turned back unhurriedly to meet the person's eyes.

The other party was still holding the ax and put it down embarrassingly.

The hero did not suffer from the immediate disadvantages, the blue bird stood still, and soon the little monsters left.

After they all left, the blue bird glanced over the statues one by one.

These "Queen Mother of the West" statues have different looks, but the eyebrows and eyes are generally similar.

Qingniao's eyes gradually lost sight, as if she was thinking about other things, but soon she came back to her senses, as if she had made up her mind, and with a wave of her hand, the statues were completely shattered one by one.

In the eyes of the villagers, these idols exploded at the same time without warning.

This is terrible, the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, they believed in the Queen Mother of the West completely. This time, after the head of the Great Immortal was cracked, the temporary statue was also broken. No matter how you look at it, the Queen Mother of the West was angry.

All of them couldn't stand still, and all of them "thumped" and knelt down.

Qingniao found the red paper and brush placed in the corner of the ancestral hall, and directly picked up the pen and wrote a few big characters.

Everyone saw a piece of red paper with words written on it falling from mid-air.

The person kneeling in front quickly picked it up and looked at it, because he couldn't read, so he gave the paper to another person: "You have studied in the city, look, what did you write?"

The other party looked quite young, heard the words and took the paper and read it out: "Live well, don't need to worship."

"This... the empress has appeared?!"

The rest of the people first bowed to the void for a few times before realizing what was written on the paper, you looked at me and I looked at you, and finally looked at the person who just read: "What do you mean? "

"Just so that we don't have to worship the empress anymore."

The young man said this, but he was still wondering that the simplified characters written by the gods are enough to keep pace with the times.

"How can this be done." Many people shook their heads immediately, "Your Majesty must be blaming us."

Only the person who read the words before hesitated for a while, as if he was considering the words, and finally said: "Probably... what the empress wants to say is the previous sentence."

Someone wondered: "Aren't we all living well?"

The young man plucked up his courage and boldly expressed his opinion: "The empress means that it is more important for us to get out of this mountain and live a better life than to worship her."

As one of the few young people in the village, he was sent to school in the county by his parents against the pressure of the village. After finishing the nine-year compulsory education, he was dissatisfied with the self-isolation of Tongjia Village after seeing the outside world.

It is said that we must develop and develop. How can we develop without foreign exchanges?

It's not that he hasn't thought about going out, because he really doesn't want to spend his whole life here, but although his parents are willing to send him to study, they don't agree with him leaving the village eventually.

When asked why, they all said they wanted to guard the empress.

As soon as the words came out, someone immediately shouted: "Nonsense! You kid, don't misinterpret your mother's meaning if you want to go out yourself. How did your parents teach you? What if your mother blames you?"

His parents were the first to panic. One stopped him and motioned him to stop talking, and the other hurriedly apologized to everyone: "This kid is stupid in reading and talking nonsense. He should be disciplined and punished."

But soon, another piece of paper fell down, and landed on the young man's shoulder without any mistakes. There were only four words on it—exactly what it meant.

The young man's eyes were shining, and he felt that he was covered by a fairy.

Empress is worthy of being an empress, although I always feel that there is something weird about it.

The rest: "..."

This time everyone went to see the village head who had been silent all this time.

The village head is literate and can understand the four words "exactly what it means".

After a long time, the village head sighed: "I will go to the leader tomorrow. If you have children at home, send them to school. The most important thing is for children to study."

Someone wanted to say something: "Village chief, this..."

The village chief interrupted him and sighed: "Your Majesty doesn't need us to guard you anymore."

After hearing the village chief's words, the blue bird who was about to step out of the ancestral hall smiled, shook its wings and left.

In the distance, Xu Chengyin and Yin Gan watched the blue bird leave.

Xu Chengyin tilted his head to look at Yin Qian: "Is this the end?"

Yin Gan asked back: "Have you ever thought about why Tongjia Village is unwilling to communicate with the outside world and guards here for generations?"

Xu Chengyin thought for a while and guessed, "Could it be the grave guard?"

"That's right, this village is all the descendants of the tomb guards, guarding a tomb for generations." Yin Gan's next words confirmed Xu Chengyin's guess, "The one guarding the tomb is the blue bird."

"At the beginning, the gods fell one after another, and the Queen Mother of the West was not spared. In the war-torn dynasty, small countries appeared one after another in various places. Aside from the Great Yin Dynasty that finally ruled the world, the Queen Mother of the West and her messengers also came here to establish a country. This is The ancestor of the blue bird."

Yin Qian slowly told Xu Chengyin what he knew about the past.

"The ancestors of Qingniao had a deep friendship with the Queen Mother of the West. Although the Queen Mother of the West fell, they still erected statues of her. The people were affected by it, and naturally began to believe in the Queen Mother of the West. But people cannot be resurrected after death. Falling is falling. Belated beliefs are all It's useless, it's just a thought."

"In that era, there was a clear boundary between human and monster, and water and fire were incompatible. Although the Queen Mother of the West made herself king, she did not dare to admit that she was a demon to the people. The monarch had no children until one day, he gave birth to a baby girl with a human woman. A baby girl is naturally revered as a princess."

Xu Chengyin had a vague suspicion that the baby girl might be the blue bird.

As a half-demon, the princess has always regarded herself as a human being to the outside world. After all, to these common people, it is obviously better for the monarch to be a human than the monarch to be a demon.

The monarch dotes on the princess in every possible way, and even erects a statue of the princess to pray for her health.

It is probably because the statue of the Queen Mother of the West and the statue of the princess have been confused by the world for a long time, which is why the statue of the Queen Mother of the West is somewhat similar to the blue bird.

Because the monarch has only one heir, so although the princess is a daughter, she has learned the way of governing the country. If there is no accident, she will be the next empress, and the people will call her "Your Highness".

Xu Chengyin thought of the current blue bird, and said: "Things are not so simple and smooth."

"Naturally, a wandering monk came to this country one day. He saw through Her Royal Highness, and made her a prototype in public. The whole country was in an uproar, and a riot broke out because of it." Yin Gan said, and suddenly changed the subject, " The queen is a wise and stupid woman."

In order to keep her husband's country, she deceived the monarch by claiming to be a monster, and committed suicide.

However, the matter did not end as she imagined, and the people asked Her Royal Highness to be executed.

After all, Her Royal Highness is also a demon.

"The people who originally respected her and wanted to be kind to her all of a sudden wanted her to die overnight. After losing his wife, his respected father, facing the country, also advised his daughter to put the overall situation first."

All in all, everyone wanted her dead.
