A Chinese Ghost Story

"Mom, I had a dream last night."

Hua Mei Niang tilted her head and looked at Su Qingchen.

Since she came in, her mother has been chanting a spell to the path-finding beads and the Hualing, and there is still no response after chanting for a long time.

Su Qingchen raised his head, "What's so strange about having a dream?" He lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the two treasures.

Hua Mei Niang said: "I dreamed of a beautiful fox, it has nine tails, and it talked to me in the dream!"

Su Qingchen trembled all over, and turned his head very slowly. It was the first time Hua Meiniang saw her mother's hands trembling tremblingly.

Hua Yu's hand that drank the porridge also froze, he reluctantly put the spoon into the bowl, and hung his head in silence.

Seeing them, Hua Mei Niang reacted like this, "What's wrong?"

Su Qingchen came back to her senses, seeing that Meiniang didn't seem to know anything, she probably did, she turned her head and took Hua Meiniang's hand, and smiled kindly: "What did it tell you?"

Hua Mei Niang recalled it very seriously. She recalled the dream last night and said: "That fox said it was my aunt, and said that if you want to come back, you must first fulfill the vow you made with the Path Finding Bead. Otherwise, there will be bloodshed."

The corner of Su Qingchen's mouth twitched, could it be that Aunt Qingcheng gave Meiniang a dream?Why didn't she just give herself a dream, really, "Oh, what else did it say?"

Hua Mei Niang shook her head, "No, that's all it said, mother, do you know the fox with nine tails?"

Su Qingchen waved his hand calmly, "How could I know a fox with nine tails? I don't know one tail, I don't know it."

Hua Mei Niang didn't quite believe it, "Why is that mother so interested in what that fox said?"

If Hua Mei Niang hadn't acted like nothing, Su Qingchen almost thought she knew the fact that her mother was a fox.

Su Qingchen glared at her and said, "I'm just curious. Your dream is really strange. What's wrong with dreaming? You have to dream of a fox. Is it because Ning Caichen was robbed by a vixen that you dreamed of a fox?"

Hua Yu coughed and interrupted her.

Su Qingchen glared at him again, "What are you coughing for? My daughter has no skills. It is a fact that she was robbed by a vixen." Seeing that Hua Yu was about to speak, she quickly glared at him again, and then grabbed Hua Mei Niang with a gloomy face. hand, urged: "Mei Niang, you are not young, you know the situation of our family, there are not many people who are willing to marry a brothel, you should take good care of it! You must marry yourself within a month, I'll wait for you for another 20 days and bring my son-in-law home! Did you hear me?"

Hua Yu couldn't help but said, "Give your daughter more time, her husband's house is not so easy to find."

Su Qingchen gritted his teeth and glared at him again, "You know what! Meiniang, now is the golden age to find a husband-in-law. After the age, it's hard to find a good one, you know?"

Hua Mei Niang nodded blankly, thinking of the situation at the moment, she wanted to go out to help, "Mother, master and brothers are all busy with the affairs of Yinshi Youquan outside, and we will confirm the archer in the afternoon. I have chosen someone, I want to try it, okay?"

Su Qingchen's face turned green, "Mother has made a fortune, the group of them can suppress the evil spirit of Youquan, so you don't need to worry, so you can take care of yourself."

Hua Mei Niang was thoughtful, her mother would never let her participate, it seemed unwise to discuss, she nodded obediently, "Okay, then I just don't go."

Not long after she stayed in the tent, she found an excuse to go for a walk.

Jing Wuyuan, the four sages of the Demon Palace, and the four generals of Xuanxin are refining Xuanmo Lei with magic power, she bypasses them and wanders elsewhere.

After a few stakes, the Xuanguang mirror was being made, and Sima Sanniang directed the crowd with a stick. Hua Meiniang searched for a long time before finding Jin Guang. He and Qiye stood side by side, while Yan Chixia was supporting the table, three They watched Suzaku and Shura draw the route to Yinshi Youquan together.

Just as Hua Mei Niang wanted to go there, someone grabbed her arm. She turned her head and saw that it was Cheng Yang.

They walked straight into the woods.

Princess Chengyang couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Has the handkerchief been delivered yet? How did he react?"

Hua Mei Niang didn't want to tell her about the loss of the handkerchief, because she was afraid that she would get angry and be too irritable, so she said ambiguously: "He doesn't seem to have any reaction."

Princess Cheng Yang pursed her lips and murmured: "My Palace Master is born beautiful, how could he not like it?"

It could be seen that she was depressed, Hua Mei Niang patted her on the back to show comfort, "There are many good men in the world, I will find some for you when you come to my house."

"go with!"

On the way back to the tent to rest, I saw someone yelling in front of me, and a group of demon soldiers surrounded several people.

Cheng Yang poked his head forward, but Hua Mei Niang couldn't hold her back.

"Monarch, come out!"

It was Ning Caichen's voice, and Hua Meiniang also looked over curiously, what is the reason for such a big fight?

Qiye strode out from the big tent, he seemed to have expected it, "Ning Caichen."

Seeing him standing here, Ning Caichen broke free from the shackles of Yan Chixia and Zhuge Liuyun, pointed at him and reprimanded loudly: "Quickly tell me, what kind of magic did you cast on Xiaoqian to make Xiaoqian want to marry you?" This devil!"

Seven nights are as good as others: "Ning Caichen, I can tell you that there is no way in the world that can make a woman fall in love with another man."

Ning Caichen obviously didn't believe it, he left Liu Yun and Yan Chixia behind, and took two steps forward, "You are lying, before you appeared, Xiaoqian would never treat me like this, you must have forced Xiaoqian to do this , it must be that you don’t want Xiaoqian to be with me, why?” He pointed angrily at the guarding magic soldier, “I don’t want to hear your nonsense here! You are their leader, they are afraid of you, but for me You're nothing but a monster, come on! Let's fight!"

Princess Chengyang saw that he was really serious about fighting the Demon Lord, "I didn't expect him to be quite courageous."

Hua Mei Niang didn't make a sound, Yan Chixia and Zhuge Liuyun rushed to press his shoulders.

Zhuge Liuyun persuaded: "You are not his opponent, don't mess around!" He glanced at Hua Mei Niang and the princess, took a breath, "Scholar, Mei Niang is standing behind you!"

Yan Chixia also saw it, "Scholar, you are also Meiniang's fiance in name, as long as the two parents and seniors don't speak, you have to save some face for Meiniang."

Ning Caichen's face was full of guilt, he was a little afraid to turn his head and look back, but the excitement just now eased up a little.

Qiye watched him calm down. There were so many people gathered in the big tent of the Demon Palace. Ning Caichen's disturbance would indeed make some people feel uncomfortable. His eyes slowly fell on Hua Mei Niang behind them. It's really not very good-looking, and what happened last night is like adding insult to injury, but now that Ning Caichen has seen Hua Meiniang and hasn't left, he is still hesitating whether he should continue to question him, so he doesn't like it even more. Ning Caichen.

He hurriedly said in a deep voice: "Ning Caichen, all of us are worrying about Yinshi Youquan now, I have never experienced entanglement with you in this place, but I can tell you that you still give up on leaving Xiaoqian Bar!"

After watching it for a while, Princess Chengyang couldn't stand anymore. He didn't deny it from the beginning to the end. Could it be that the vixen is really going to marry the devil?This is not good news.

After Qiye finished speaking, he returned to the camp, and Ning Caichen didn't catch up. He walked to Meiniang's side and didn't say anything except that he was sorry. Zhuge Liuyun was scolded by Cheng Yang, she said he was incompetent, Said sarcastically: "You can't even look down on a stupid scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. It's really useless to be a senior brother, hmph!"

Zhuge Liuyun felt that Princess Chengyang was targeting him from the beginning to the end, this princess was really annoying, he didn't want to be outdone, he said: "It's none of your business, you are so capable, you drag the scholar away!"

Cheng Yang was furious, "Go back, I will definitely let my father kill you all over the house!"

Zhuge Liuyun was not afraid of her, "Okay, I'll wait!" Anyway, he was alone, and he was afraid that he would not succeed in copying the whole family.

Cheng Yang was furious by Zhuge Liuyun, she turned her face and found that Hua Mei Niang's face was not good, presumably her fiancé came here to argue with the devil because of a vixen, completely disregarding Hua Mei Niang's face, she really Feeling uncomfortable, she said empathetically, "Let's go back and rest, the princess is a little tired."

Hua Mei Niang sent Cheng Yang to the residence, and walked to the top of the mountain alone. She sat on a big rock and looked into the Forest of Despair. The evil energy inside seemed to become stronger. She was thinking about what she did last night. In that dream, the fox was actually quite beautiful, and she thought its eyes looked like a person.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone behind him.

The man didn't speak, but just sat down in the vacant place beside her, his slightly curly hair was blown up slightly by the wind along with his black cloak.

"You seem very unhappy."

When Hua Mei Niang heard his question, she turned her head and said, "I'm really unhappy." Thinking of Ning Caichen's words, she turned around and said, "Is it true that Ning Caichen said you want to marry Xiaoqian? ?”

Qiye shook her head, she was unhappy about this matter, "No, he misunderstood."

Hua Mei Niang judged based on the previous contact, and asked again: "Then you like her?"

Qiye was silent for a while before opening his mouth and saying, "I don't know."

Hua Meiniang frowned slightly when she thought about last night that he told Nie Xiaoqian not to marry Ning Caichen, she sat down beside him, and asked seriously: "Then do you like me?"

She was very close, looking into his eyes without blinking, and the faint fragrance of flowers wafted from the slight movement of her hair, which was exactly the same as what he smelled last night.

When Qiye heard her asking this question, he didn't know how to answer it. It seemed that he had never thought about this question, because she was a human and he was a demon.

Seeing his silence, Hua Mei Niang thought she should change the question: "If I really married Ning Caichen, would you be sad?"

Qiye thought for a while and replied, "Yes."

Hua Mei Niang lowered her head and smiled, raised her hand and pulled away her tightly wrapped collar for him to see, "Is it because of this?"

It was the red mark he left on her body last night.

Qiye turned her face away, moved under the stone in an instant, turned her back and stood upright, not looking at her, "Put your clothes on first." He felt that she was a very straightforward woman, not at all like what he had heard , women in the world are very shy.

Just as she encountered such a bad thing last night, she didn't cry loudly, and seemed to be calmer than him.

"Is it really?" Hua Mei Niang adjusted her collar slowly.

"No."

"But I heard that monsters are very possessive. If it's something they have touched, even if they don't like it, they won't give it to others easily."

After a long time, Hua Mei Niang didn't hear Qiye's words. She jumped off the stone and walked slowly to his side, "You can turn your head, I'm dressed, now we can talk Come here, the selection of the sharpshooter is about to begin, if we can successfully suppress the evil spirit of the Underworld and Youquan, we will continue this topic."

Qiye saw her standing in front of him with a charming smile, waiting for him to go with him. Could it be that she also wants to participate in the selection of the archer.

The breeze was blowing, and the two Taoists, Zheng and Mo, had already taken their positions one after another on the large-scale construction site.
