The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Before Feng Baisui could reply, the door of the old house suddenly opened with a creak, but no one could be seen inside, only a small furry animal rushed out, ran around Qi Mu's feet, and ran fast again go back.

"Is that a fox?"

Bai Moli shook his head: "It's a weasel, the fox should be bigger."

"Yellow...rat...wolf..." Maxi repeated the unfamiliar term, "what is it?"

"It's a weasel."

"Is this house used as a den by weasels?"

At this time, another child came out of the door, with a pleasant smile on his face, "Brother benefactor, you are back!" He ran towards Qi Mu as he said that, but was blocked by Feng Baisui.

The child turned around and urged: "Mom, hurry up, come and see!"

A woman with a kind face walked out behind her, with the corners of her eyes curled up, "Benefactor, I didn't expect you to come again."

It seemed that this inexplicable pair of mother and daughter were all talking to Qi Mu. The latter was stunned, looked at them carefully, and was sure that he really didn't know these two people, so he waved his hands and denied, "Are you mistaken? I haven't been here before." .”

The child bypassed Feng Baisui and came to Qi Mu's side, raised his head and sniffed, "That's right, it's the smell!"

Qi Mu didn't know why he raised his arm and smelled himself, wondering, "What smell do I have?"

"A very special, but very comfortable smell." The child gestured exaggeratedly.

Feng Baisui pulled Qi Mu behind him, and said coldly: "You have mistaken the person."

The woman stared at them for a while, but she didn't insist any more, she just said: "Maybe we have made a mistake, are you here to play on the mountain?"

"Yes!" Maxi raised the camera in his hand.

"It's getting dark now, it's too dangerous to go down the mountain, if you don't dislike it, just stay here for one night."

"I was about to say that too!" The bearded man said happily, "Jasmine, in your Chinese language, what is this called? Simultaneous voice?"

"It's unanimous...and it's not right for you to use it like this."

"Why not? Two people want to express the same meaning."

"..."

The woman made a "please" gesture, turned around and led the way, Bai Moli and Maxi followed closely behind, Feng Baisui hesitated on the spot, Qi Mu nodded to him, they still followed, the child seemed to be Excited, he kept trying to get close to Qi Mu by changing tricks on the road, but was stopped by Feng Baisui one by one.

The interior of this old house is very spacious, and there are many vacant rooms. Although it is very old, it can still be used for one night after cleaning.The hostess said that there was nothing to entertain people at home, only some radishes and potatoes in stock, but what was surprising was that there were a few chickens in the yard, which were rich in eggs and meat.

Everyone helped to prepare the meal, and after eating, they went back to their rooms to rest. Qi Mu and Feng Baisui lived in one room, and the bearded Maxi lived in one room with his Jasmine.

Feng Baisui asked Qi Mu to rest, and he came to watch the night, because this family was weird, and he was really worried that he would just sleep to death like this.

"What I'm more concerned about is that the mother and son seem to know me. Even if it's not me, they may be someone who looks very similar to me." Qi Mu thought for a while, "Maybe it's my father, he often comes here on the mountain run."

"You want to ask?"

"Just talk, anyway, it's boring now, there are no candles in such a big house." He said, walking out of the dark room.

It was completely dark outside, but the dense fog had receded a lot. The light in the courtyard was not bad, and a few stars could be seen faintly when looking up.

"I remember that they seem to have entered this room..." Qi Mu knocked on the door, but the door was not closed properly, and it slid open after such a knock, so he simply pushed it open.

There were a lot of sundries piled up in the room, and hay was spread all over the corner, but no one was seen, only two groups of dark shadows flashed past, and rushed out quickly against the base of the wall.

Qi Mu was about to go in when he was suddenly lightly patted on the back, startled him, turned around abruptly, almost bumped into the woman's face, the woman asked him with a smile: "Benefactor, what are you looking for?"

He took a step back, leaned against Feng Baisui, calmed down quickly, and explained, "I just want to talk to you guys."

The child poked his head out from behind the woman, "What do you want to talk about?"

Qi Mu said casually: "The fog was too thick before, and we almost couldn't find this place. Fortunately, you took me in, otherwise it will be troublesome tonight."

The woman was silent for a while after listening, and then went to sit down at the small stone table in the patio, and then said: "Actually, ordinary people can't see this house."

When Qi Mu heard this, his guess was already [-]% sure, and he was thinking whether to speak, Feng Baisui asked, "You are not human, are you?"

The child screamed in shock, and quickly hid behind the mother. The woman nodded and said slowly: "Our mother and child are beasts in the mountains. When the family was still here, we often came here to look for food and wait for them to eat. After moving away, I took my children and lived there. Then one day, a benefactor passed by and stayed in the house for one night. When he left, he set up a formation and said, from now on, ordinary people will not be able to see this place. We can Live in peace."

"Is the benefactor you mentioned human? Or something else?"

The woman shook her head, "I don't know what he is, but with the aura he left behind, we were able to cultivate human form so quickly."

The child moved to Qi Mu's side and interjected, "I can transform into a human being at such a young age, isn't it amazing?"

"Yes, very powerful." Qi Mu smiled and patted his head, then asked, "How long did it take you to cultivate human form?"

"200."

Qi Mu was surprised, "Is this still fast?"

The child nodded, "Generally, it takes 500 years to become a demon, and a thousand years to become a spirit. We are really very fast."

Qi Mu sighed softly, with an indescribable feeling that the time they spent was no longer measured in a year or two, but in a hundred years. How did such a long time pass?He suddenly remembered the thrush fairy, his father's friend, and only now had a concrete understanding of the "lived for many years" in his mouth.

"You recognize me as that benefactor, is it because I look like him?"

The woman stared at him for a while, she seemed to have just realized this, and suddenly said: "Look carefully, you really don't look like him."

"Then how..."

"We identify targets mostly by smell, and rarely pay attention to the other person's appearance. You... have the same smell as that benefactor." The woman looked at Qi Mu meaningfully.

Qi Mu stood up and pulled Feng Baisui, "It's getting late, let's go to bed first."

Just as they were about to return to their room, they heard a rapid knock on the door.

The rude voice seemed very abrupt in the quiet night in the mountains. No one moved for a while. After listening for a while, the child volunteered to open the door. The woman stopped him and said, "The people who can see here are not ordinary people, and they are Late at night, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

She suddenly turned into a weasel, ran towards the door with a whoosh, and quickly ran back, transforming back into a human form.

"Humans, two."

The sound outside the door didn't stop, the door panel was slammed, Qi Mu thought for a while, and said to her: "Since we are human beings, let's go and open the door." Then he walked towards the door.

Feng Baisui hurried two steps, dragged him behind him, and then reached out to open the door.

It turned out to be an old acquaintance who appeared outside the door.

Seeing them, the other party was also obviously taken aback, but he quickly reacted, pushed Feng Baisui away, pulled the people behind him in, and then quickly closed the door and latched it, only then relaxed a little, Qi Buyang glared at Qi Mu , "Why are you in this kind of place?!"

Qi Mu asked back: "Then what's the matter with you? And..." He looked at the strange man beside Qi Buyang, "Who is this?"

"His name is Luo Lang, and he is the one I said not long ago that I would pick him up from his hometown..." Qi Buyang said eagerly, "Now is not the time for introductions. There is something outside, and he will come after him soon..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud crashing sound outside the door, and the old door panel was shaken, as if there was a sudden strong wind, and the sudden oppressive feeling made it hard to breathe.

Qi Buyang gritted his teeth, "I'll go out and collect it!" Then he told Qi Mu: "You all stay inside, don't run around! No one is allowed to go out until I come back!"

"But that person has already left."

"Who?"

"It's the one who followed you." The child pointed behind Qi Buyang, and then pointed to the wall next to him, "Just now when you were talking, you jumped out of the wall."

"Mr. Luo!" Qi Buyang turned pale with shock, and hurriedly pulled out the latch and rushed out.

That Master Luo Lang stood outside and smiled at him, other than that, the weather was calm and the treetops didn't even move.

Qi Buyang was stunned, "What about that thing?"

"Gone."

"What do you mean it's gone?"

"It's just gone."

"But... I haven't purified it yet..."

"It's gone, no need to purify." Luo Lang said relaxedly, and took the lead to walk in the door.

Qi Buyang was stunned for a while, then turned around and went in.

Now that the crisis has been lifted, Qi Buyang naturally has to explain clearly that he and Luo Lang were purifying an abandoned execution ground on the mountainside at the back, but there were too many resentful spirits, and they all gathered together to form a very hostile thing, which was not suppressed for a while. I lived there, chased and rushed to the top of the mountain, and saw this house.

As for why Qi Mu was asked why he was here, he only said that it was foggy up the mountain and decided to stay overnight, and did not mention the old house or the mother and son.

Qi Buyang formally introduced again: "This Mr. Luo Lang is a very famous master in the industry. In this short period of time, our Qi family has exchanged and learned from each other."

Qi Mu nodded to the other party, and he couldn't help thinking, this man looked like he was in his twenties at most, and he was already a master, so how soon did he become famous?

Luo Lang looked at Qi Mu and Feng Baisui with great interest, and with an ambiguous smile on his lips, he said to Qi Buyang, "Your two friends are very special."

Qi Buyang immediately became serious: "Although Feng Baisui is a ghost, he is a good ghost. Please, Mr. Luo, don't embarrass my friend."

"What do they have to do with me? Why should I make things difficult for them?" Luo Lang asked back.

"..." Qi Buyang was speechless.

Luo Lang smiled, and suddenly asked Feng Baisui: "Are you coming to the human world too?"

The latter raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

He didn't answer, but instead turned his gaze to Qi Mu, "Tsk, it's actually a human being."

Qi Mu was baffled by him, "Then what kind of person does Master Luo want me to be?"

Luo Lang stopped talking, turned his head to Qi Buyang and said, "Let's go." Then he walked out without looking back.

Qi Buyang comforted Qi Mu and said, "Don't mind what he said, he didn't mean it."

Qi Mu smiled and said it didn't matter.

Qi Buyang said goodbye to him hastily, turned around and chased Master Luo away.

Feng Baisui was silent thoughtfully, and Qi Mu asked him, "What? Do you still care about what the master said?"

He frowned slightly, "That man, there is a problem."

Qi Mu nodded, "I also think... there is something wrong with his mind."

"..."

After being disturbed like this, there was not much time left in the night. A few hours later, Qi Mu was forced to get up and walked to the patio in a daze. Bai Moli and Maxi were doing morning exercises refreshed. It looks like I slept well last night.

When they saw him, they greeted each other, and Maxi asked, "Is Feng Baishui still sleeping?"

Qi Mu replied subconsciously: "No." Then he suddenly stopped, glanced at Feng Baisui beside him, and quickly said: "I'll call him." Then he hurried back to the room.

As soon as he entered the door, he anxiously waved to Feng Baisui, "Hurry up, come and kiss."

Feng Baisui floated to his side leisurely, enjoying Qi Mu's rare door-to-door service.

An ordinary mountaineering outing ended in such a mess. The mother and son sent them out of the old house, and the child dragged Qi Mu reluctantly to let go.

"Brother benefactor, are you leaving?"

Qi Mu couldn't laugh or cry, "I'm not your benefactor."

The child didn't care, and asked again: "Will you still come to see us? It's been 200 years since we left last time. Would you like to come back within 100 years?"

"I will come while I am alive." Qi Mu patted his head, "Human life is very short."

When they went down the mountain to say goodbye, the bearded Maxi said that he would come out to look for ghosts again in the future. Qi Mu looked at Feng Baisui, just smiled and didn't say anything.
