Where are the monsters?

There is not a trace of Shui Lian's whereabouts. Huoxin heard that it mentioned that the place where it used to live was called Chu Ting by mortals, and there were five-color sheep. This place is the current Canton area.

Although this clue is a bit vague, it is better than being completely confused. Shui Lian lives near the entrance of the Dragon Palace, and Guangyue is close to the South China Sea. Maybe a certain gate of the Dragon Palace world exists there.

With Huoxin, Mu Feng and his party headed towards Guangzhou.

In the early 90s, Canton was much more lively than the inland areas, and there were many gold diggers from all over the place.

The three monsters were stunned. Feifei and Duoduo who had wandered around the capital were fine, but Huoxin, who had been staying in the deep mountains, was a little dizzy. Now that his spiritual power had been sealed, he looked at the passing vehicles in front of him. , and the high-rise buildings, these were all made by ordinary people, and the iron bird flying from the sky can make people cross the distance of the sea, which made Huoxin want to try it.

Huoxin is now an ordinary black dog. He is led by Ying Ni, but he doesn't think that he will suddenly go crazy and bite someone. On the one hand, it is civilized to walk the dog on a leash, but on the other hand, Ying Ni is afraid that this dog from the country The black dog will get lost in the city.I didn't see the dog, my eyes were a little empty, and I couldn't even walk well.

When Huoxin saw a double-decker bus coming, it moved its nose curiously. It was taller than other iron boxes running on the road. The upper deck of the bus, preferably on the side, for a drive around the city.

If mortals without spiritual power can go to the sky and enter the earth, then can the cultivation of immortals have another direction of development?Huoxin, who doesn't know science yet, is thinking too far at this time. He is not a smart dog among the Huo Dou clan, otherwise he wouldn't have been left behind because he couldn't understand the mysterious and mysterious laws.

The clan dogs were kind to it, and they left it beside the big cauldron cast by several Vulcan gods in Zhu Rong. Hard work can make up for it. Years of absorbing fire spiritual power and breaking through.

It's just that even though Huoxin has already transformed into a human form, it is still trembling at the thought of the mysterious law that needs to rely on understanding.Now it has seen the things made by these mortals. Although it is much inferior to magic weapons, it has seen a different path. Maybe there is a more suitable path for it to cultivate immortals. Quantified way of practice.

But this thought flashed by now, until another thousand years passed, the earth entered the interstellar age, and Huoxin's name was recorded in the annals of human history.

These are all things to say later, but now Huoxin is being pulled hard by Ying Ni to prevent him from throwing himself on a private wheel curiously to study the relationship between the pattern of the wheel and the friction.

"We are going to go to the mountains, and we may find something there." Mu Feng checked the map, and they studied the local chronicles of the Canton area. Don't underestimate the records left by these mortals, there will be no positive records of a certain repair There are people who come and go, but they will record those events that are unclear and unknown, and these often hide the traces of the practice world.

Mu Feng and Ying Ni discovered that there is a custom worth considering in the Chaoshan area, "On the sixth day of June, ghosts pick watermelons." '

There are many versions of the legend about this custom, one of which is that from the sixth day of June to the half of July before the Hungry Ghost Festival, this period is the ghost month. Crowds will pick out watermelons, so if you want to eat watermelons, please eat them before the sixth day of June, and the watermelons after that may be picked by ghosts. It's hard to say what the consequences will be if you eat them.

Of course, there are other arguments.It is said that on the sixth day of June, those new ghosts who died, generally referring to the ghosts who died from the sixth day of June last year to the fifth day of June this year, will go home again before crossing the bridge of Naihe and forgetting what happened before. Therefore, on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month, new ghosts should be worshipped. In order to prevent ghosts from entering by mistake, families without new dead people should put peach branches on the doors and windows to ward off evil spirits, and those families with new dead relatives should prepare sacrifices, including a big watermelon. Letting ghosts take you away can bribe ghosts when crossing Naihe Bridge.

No matter how many versions there are, if such a legend about ghosts picking up watermelons is believed, it means that on the sixth day of June, there will be hundreds of ghosts haunting this place.

The Netherworld is a world where ghosts often live, but Ying Ni knows that there is no specific path to the human world, let alone the opportunity to come to the human world once a year.Then it is very likely that the ghosts traveled because a gate to other worlds opened on this day.

Ordinary people can't accurately distinguish the difference between ghosts, demons, and demons. They attribute the incredible scenes they see to the travel of ghosts, but the real situation is that there are cultivators from other worlds haunting here.

What is going on, whether there is a gate leading to the world where the Dragon Palace is located, Mu Feng decided to go to those mountain villages where the strange stories recorded in the local chronicles are most frequent.Now it is not far from the sixth day of June, there are still two or three days to go, and then we can find out.

Zhong Kui was walking in the mountain depression. Although his name sounds the same as that of the legendary Zhong Kui who can catch ghosts, he is a thin and thin young man.After the reform and opening up, he didn't want to continue to live in the small mountain village, but came to the city to seek opportunities to earn money. However, his grandfather passed away three days ago, and he had to go back to the mountains for his grandfather's funeral.

It's just that I haven't walked the mountain road for three years. I didn't expect to be a little unskilled in walking.After nightfall, the mountains are not like the city, there is no light at all.Zhong Kui could only rely on the flashlight for lighting. Holding the flashlight, he muttered, "This light is not bright enough at all. It's not as good as the torch I used when I was a child!"

Just after Zhong Kui said this, he suddenly felt as if something rubbed his shoulder. He was startled suddenly, but when he looked back, there was nothing there. "The worst thing is to scare yourself. The wind must be too strong. The wind in the mountains is always stronger than in the city."

And just behind Zhong Kui, two monsters with blue faces and long fangs followed!The two monsters were giggling, and one of them said, "Hehe, that skinny monkey is called Zhong Kui! It sounds the same as Zhong Kui, the real gentleman who made a big fuss in the demon world!"

The other monster rolled its eyes. The fact that Zhong Kui was overpowering the demon king made the monsters lose face. Today it is better to vent their anger on this human being. "I thought of a funny thing. You said it's better for us to scare him. Don't these mortals say that today is the day for ghosts to pick watermelons, why don't we ask him for a watermelon."

"But I've turned over it just now. There's no watermelon in this skinny monkey's bag."

"I wouldn't scare him if there was watermelon, but only if there wasn't. If he can't give watermelon, he has to take something else."

"What to take?" The monster didn't react, but the one who suggested it had already walked up to Zhong Kui and appeared.

"Ah—" A terrified cry echoed in the valley for a moment.

Zhong Kui was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground, why did such a terrifying ghost appear before him, why didn't he faint, he really wanted to faint!

"Hey, mortal, do you know what day it is?"

Zhong Kui shook his head desperately, he didn't know what day it was, not at all.

The monster frowned unhappily. Why did this human react like this? Everyone here used to know that they didn’t go out on June [-]th. They managed to catch one today, but they didn’t know this custom?

"Today is June [-]th!" the monster said while grinding his teeth, "You know, hand over the watermelon, if you can't get it out, hehe——"

ha?watermelon?Why watermelon.

Zhong Kui was stunned, he didn't react for a while.Zhong Kui has already left the mountains, and the life in the city has made him forget the old customs he used to live in, and he will no longer calculate the date of the lunar calendar today.

After he was stunned for a minute, he finally understood what the monster said. Today is June 1th, the day when ghosts pick watermelons.

"But, I, I, don't have watermelons." Zhong Kui's voice was shaking, and his whole body was shaking too.

The monster stretched out its long tongue and licked its teeth, "It doesn't matter if there is no watermelon, I just need something round, and your head is also suitable!"

After the monster finished speaking, it stretched out its claws and grabbed Zhong Kui's round head. With a bang, Zhong Kui was completely frightened and fainted.

"Now the monsters are still scary." Another voice sounded, and the monsters suddenly turned their heads, feeling a burst of water spirit rushing towards them.
