A Chinese Ghost Story

The moonlight gradually enveloped her, and as soon as she stepped out of the tent, she saw a person walking in front of her, dressed in purple and gold, wearing a golden crown on his head, his face could not be seen clearly against the moonlight, he was walking towards her, he was drunk.

Candles were lit again in the dark tent.

The candle flickered on and off.

Jin Guang's face was full of sternness, and there was a certain kind of forbearance in his eyes. He looked at Hua Mei Niang with a complex expression that Hua Mei Niang had never seen before. There were anger, loss, intolerance...all kinds of complexities.

He hesitated for a moment, and said with drunken eyes: "Miniang, Master, I beg you for one thing!"

Seeing his master's appearance, Hua Mei Niang didn't know how much he drank at his father's place.

She quickly stretched out her hand to help her, and said with a look of panic: "Master, don't say that, you will break the disciple."

Jin Guang pushed her away with one hand, and straightened his face, indicating that he was not drunk: "Miniang, the matter of your marrying the devil, the master will not care about it for now, but you must agree to one condition."

Hua Meiniang closed her eyes. The fact that she wanted to marry the Demon Lord really hurt her master's heart, and it was not too much to agree to one condition, "Master, tell me, I will do my best!"

Jin Guang was the next best thing to this, he took out a yellow paper bag and stuffed it into her hand, looked at her clearly and said: "Mei Niang, on the day of your wedding, sprinkle these poisons into the moon The wine cellar of the dynasty, when the time comes, master will lead all the generals of Xuanxin Zhengzong to march into the Yinyue dynasty, and then you can leave the demon king alone and live with him." If you didn't know that Mei Niang was a half-demon , How could he make such a big concession.

Hua Mei Niang stared blankly at Jin Guang, if so, could she still live together with him?She felt that her master just said a joke that was not funny at all, she lowered her eyes and said: "Master, you are drunk."

Jin Guang rushed up angrily, and slapped his palm on the table: "I am not drunk, this matter is a decision that I made after careful consideration. If you don't agree again, you will be treated as a teacher after you return to Beijing." The crime of colluding with demons and cholera in the human world will be reported to the Holy One, and all members of the Hua family will be convicted!"

Hua Mei Niang bowed her head and immediately knelt down, "I don't dare."

Only then did Jin Guang ease his tone, "Mei Niang, you don't want your parents, even your grandfather, and other innocent people in the Hua family to spend the rest of your life in prison because you are alone."

Hua Mei Niang knelt there and shook her head vigorously, Jiang is still old and hot, master, your trick is really too cruel.

Jin Guang nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that you know, then you should talk to the devil as soon as possible about getting married, and set a date to get married."

Hua Mei Niang responded, "I understand."

In the four-cornered stone pavilion, white gauze flutters, and an exquisite octagonal red lantern hangs on the top of the pavilion, and red cloth strips hang from the eight edges, fluttering back and forth with the night wind, causing the lights to flicker indefinitely.

Qiye was sitting on the stone bench, looking at the several pots of white orchids around the pavilion that were in full bloom, and Nie Xiaoqian in a white dress was sitting next to her, lying on the stone table and sleeping soundly.

He was afraid that she would not sleep well, so he gently patted her hair up and down with his hands.

No matter how you look at this picture, how warm it is, it is warm like a painting, and people can't bear to break this tranquility.

Hua Mei Niang quietly stood under a pillar, looking at the eye-catching picture in the pavilion, her hand unconsciously caressed the stone pillar of the pavilion, her eyebrows gradually frowned, this devil likes Xiaoqian, right? , From the moment she met him, why didn't she notice it.

Seven nights said in a deep voice: "Who?"

Even though her movement was very light, Qiye still heard it, he smelled a familiar smell, he already guessed who it was in his heart, and his gaze fell on her precisely.

The bright lights in the middle made the place where she was a dark shadow.

Hua Mei Niang walked up the steps, and her figure gradually became clear.

Hua Mei Niang stepped in, glanced at Xiaoqian, "Little fox demon, what's wrong?"

Qiye lowered his head to look at Xiaoqian, and unconsciously withdrew his hand in his hair. He didn't know why he took this action to avoid suspicion. This action had happened repeatedly in his life. Only then did he realize something was wrong the moment he saw Hua Mei Niang.

Qiye looked at her and said, "She just broke up with Ning Caichen, and she feels a little sad now."

Hua Meiniang asked calmly, "Why did she want to break up with Ning Caichen? She snatched Ning Caichen away from me, why doesn't she want her now?"

Qiye remained silent, just listening to her say the word "grab", she felt inexplicably irritable, which proved that she still cared about Ning Caichen.This realization made him feel uncomfortable all over, but he shouldn't have cared. After all, he married her because he did something bad to her that night. The teacher often said that he should be responsible for what he did, "you Still mind about it?"

Hua Mei Niang sat down beside him, glanced at him, pursed her lips and said, "You didn't answer the question. I just asked you why Xiaoqian didn't want Ning Caichen, and you haven't answered me yet."

Qiye frowned, obviously he was not satisfied that she didn't answer directly, he thought for a while and said: "It's nothing, it's just that Xiaoqian is destined to stay in the magic palace for the rest of her life." He thinks that he can't tell her about the resentful couple of the seventh generation Even though he planned to marry her as the queen, Xuanxin Zhengzong always took the responsibility of chasing and killing the resentful couple of the seventh generation. It is hard to guarantee that she will not be able to kill Xiaoqian after she finds out.

Hua Mei Niang nodded, "So that's the case." The answer he gave was very vague, probably to guard against her, although she accidentally overheard the fact that Nie Xiaoqian was the seventh generation's resentful couple, but she still wanted to hear it from him. , a little disappointed, but maybe it's time for them to talk about marriage now.

Hua Mei Niang cut to the chase and asked him, "Do you know where my family lives?"

Qiye shook his head, "I don't know." He only knew that Xuanxin was at the foot of the emperor in the capital, and the apprentice should be in the capital if the master was there, but he still didn't know the exact location.

Hua Mei Niang smiled, "Then where are you going to propose marriage in the future?"

Qiye looked calm, this was not a difficult task for him, "I can send Earth Dragon scouts to investigate, I believe it will take less than a stick of incense to find out."

Hua Mei Niang took out the written note and handed it to Qiye: "You don't have to troublesome people to check it. Here, this is our family's residence. There is a Dongfeng Town in the capital, and there are two houses in the town that belong to my family. Yes, one is called Rouge Building and the other is called Qingfeng Building, you can find me wherever you go."

Qiye took the note, the handwriting on it was elegant and elegant, and one could tell it was written by a woman at a glance, but the lines between the lines were strong and clear, and it was indeed a good handwriting, he read it in a low voice: "Rouzhi Building, Qingfeng Pavilion, it sounds like It’s a restaurant or something, but the name sounds nice.”

Qiye smiled at her, "I remember." She folded her slender fingers and put the note into her sleeve.

The restaurant is the restaurant, Hua Mei Niang dryly pursed her lower lip. It seems that there is still a difference between the monarch of the devil and the emperor of the world. She thought that he would know what he was doing when he saw these two names, she thought Let me explain a sentence or two, lest he be too difficult to accept when he gets there.

Hua Mei Niang was trying to figure out how to say goodbye to him, when suddenly a wonderful piano sound came from the open four fields.

She thought she was hallucinating, like in the magic palace, only she could hear the strange piano sound, so she couldn't help but look at Qiye, he seemed to hear it this time, "Did you hear any sound?"

Qiye nodded and said, "It's the sound of the piano."

Hua Mei Niang was relieved now, fortunately he heard it this time, otherwise she might be driven into a madness by the sound of the piano again.

She looked at the magnolia in the pavilion, which revealed a layer of elegant beauty under the moonlight, accompanied by the sound of the zither in her ears, which seemed to make her forget the physical and mental exhaustion of the past few days for a moment.

After listening carefully, the sound of the piano is melodious with a touch of sadness, and there is a trace of tranquility hidden in the bleakness. The whole piece is clearer and more melodious. Compared with the piece played by the girl in the building, it can be said to be a world of difference. If you want to play the piano The person who loves you must have had an unforgettable emotional experience.

However, the sound of the piano still made her involuntarily think of the woman playing the piano in the psychedelic woods of the magic palace.

Thinking of the piano sound that drove her crazy, Hua Mei Niang decided that it would be more reassuring to go and see it in person.

"I don't know who played such a corrupt sound in this night!"

The sudden sound brought the people in the pavilion back to their senses. Jin Guang changed into a capital robe that smelled of alcohol, and changed into a cassock full of golden patterns. He walked straight with his hands behind his back.

Hua Mei Niang's face was suffocated, she lowered her head, "Master." The speed of master changing clothes is really fast...

Qiye's profound and handsome outline was stained with displeasure. He didn't like his coming. It was obvious that they were incompatible polarities. "I think the sound of this piano is quite nice."

The sound of the golden light woke up Xiaoqian, or she had already woken up, but she just didn't want to disturb Qiye and Meiniang's conversation. After Qiye said a few words to her, Nie Xiaoqian lay down and fell asleep again.

Hua Mei Niang had already stood up, she could not turn a blind eye to her master's arrival.

But Qiye can, he sat still on the stone bench and asked calmly: "What's the matter with you visiting tonight?"

Jin Guang glanced over Hua Mei Niang's drooping face with an unclear expression, looked at Qiye again, and said seriously: "I have to talk to you about something."

Qiye was noncommittal, just got up and walked out of the small pavilion, before leaving, said to Hua Mei Niang: "You stay with Xiaoqian here for a while, I will come as soon as I go."

Hua Mei Niang lowered her face, never raised her head, and just nodded, "Okay, I see."

Jin Guang and Qiye left together, only Hua Mei Niang and Nie Xiaoqian were left in the pavilion.

She is here with her, it is very boring, she is going to find the owner of this piano sound.

Hua Meiniang patted Nie Xiaoqian's shoulders several times to wake her up. This little fox demon must have been pretending to be asleep from just now, and it's no wonder he fell asleep, "Xiaoqian, the sound of the piano is so beautiful. I don’t wonder who is playing the piano, why don’t we look for it together?”

Nie Xiaoqian put her hands on the table and stood up. To be honest, she didn't want to see anyone except Ning Caichen. She looked at Hua Meiniang with pleading eyes, and said in a crisp voice: "Miniang, let me go to Caichen. Brother Qiye was here all the time just now, I dare not say, now that he is gone, I just want to secretly go to see Cai Chen, just one time, okay? Even if you don’t talk to him, just look at him from a distance, okay? Okay?" She heard them talking about their marriage just now, and she felt very uncomfortable. Why can a sage king marry a mortal woman, but she can't marry a mortal? Who is she, at this moment she feels a little bit of resentment towards Qiye.

Hua Mei Niang saw a little dissatisfaction in her eyes, she quietly gathered her mana, trying to see the strong resentment in her body, it was really strange, the resentment condensed should be very heavy for seven generations, she withdrew her power.

Thinking that he was looking for it anyway, maybe he would find one first, so he agreed: "Okay, I will accompany you to meet him, do you know where he is now?"

Nie Xiaoqian shook her head, "I don't know."

Hua Mei Niang sighed, "Then let's follow the sound of the piano to find it, maybe Ning Caichen is also attracted by the sound of the piano."

Nie Xiaoqian nodded, her impression of Hua Mei Niang improved a lot, "Okay, thank you, Mei Niang."

Following the sound of the piano, they walked into the Wangqing forest with intertwined branches, and Princess Chengyang had already stepped into it before them.

Firewood was lit in the woods, and the flames jumped up and down because of the continuous addition of firewood, occasionally making a crackling sound of "Om".

Ning Caichen and Yan Hongye were drinking there. After he broke up with Xiaoqian, he ran into Hongye, and she happened to have a jug of good wine in her hand.

"Fortunately, I brought a lot of wine, you can drink it anyway." Yan Hongye knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, but she was not feeling well either.

Ning Caichen sat leaning against the tree trunk with the jug in his hand, stared straight ahead, his eyes were blurry and he couldn't see the direction: "Miss Hongye, why don't we get married!"

Yan Hongye's icy face shook for a moment, her eyes widened suddenly, and the corners of her mouth were filled with joy and disbelief. She wanted to confirm: "You, what did you say? Are you saying we are married?"

Ning Caichen stared at the fire, not at her, "Anyway, love is so complicated, it's better to just find someone to marry!"

Yan Hongye frowned irritated by his words, "What are you talking about, just find someone?"

Ning Caichen turned to look at her, "Isn't it? Love is always annoying. People who love each other can never be together, but those who have no intentions are drawn to each other. Anyway, there is no result. Just find someone to marry. Why is fate always so tricky?" People, why is reality always so unsatisfactory!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Hongye took a sip of wine in frustration, and Ning Caichen picked up the jug to touch her, and poured it into his mouth.

Behind the big thick tree, a woman poked her head out slightly and looked towards them. She didn't expect that she couldn't find the person who played the piano, but instead ran into the half of the seventh generation of marriage and the half of the seventh generation of bitter couple together. This is really funny , There was a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth.

20 years ago, she saw the golden light draw a line on the arm of the newborn baby boy, and then she followed Sima Sanniang and Yan Chixia, who had rescued the seventh-generation grudge, to the baby boy's home. It was this bookworm Ning Caichen.

Under the moonlight, Princess Chengyang was dressed in a gorgeous dress, with a long golden skirt tucked to the ground, proudly raised her noble head, turned and walked back.

She wants to attract both Nie Xiaoqian and Hua Mei Niang, what an interesting thing.
