In the thousands of years of Chinese history, there has never been an emperor who can truly become the Long Live God who "lives the same life as the sky". However, there are almost no "bloodless coups" when the regime changes.

But as the saying goes: "It is better to be a dog of peace than to serve the people in troubled times." Although heroes in troubled times can take the opportunity to leave their names in history, this kind of opportunity is actually useless to ordinary people. Eat and drink, as long as the court doesn't do anything to increase taxes and corvees, it doesn't matter who sits on the dragon chair.

It's just how can the common sense of heaven change according to people's wishes?Just this time, when there was a severe drought in the world, locust plagues happened again, and the people were starving and dying everywhere. However, the emperor continued to implement harsh policies, forcing the people to rise up, and soon a rebel army named "Yingtian" invaded the land. In the imperial palace, the emperor's head was cut off and hung high above the city wall, thus establishing the New Deal and making Luoyang the capital.

Seeing that the situation of the original separatist rule gradually stabilized, another incident reached the ears of the new emperor, saying that a village near Luoyang City had a soul-eating ghost, and the whole village was inexplicably shocked. Not to mention disappearing overnight, passers-by will die soon after passing by. The methods of death include drowning, poisoning, etc., causing panic at the feet of the emperor, and they all speculate whether the heavens are dissatisfied with the new emperor. , That's why I deliberately convicted, otherwise why didn't I choose other places, but chose to be on the edge of the imperial city?

After hearing this, the emperor's expression was a little bad.Why do you think, because when he rebelled, he believed that the plague of locusts was God's punishment, and he overthrew the previous dynasty because he followed the law of heaven, so he gained a firm foothold. To shake the regime, of course I felt uneasy, so I issued a notice to find strange people from all over the world to solve this disaster. Those who are capable, no matter how high or low, can be announced, and there are hundreds of taels of gold and several farms and houses for the errand; such a bounty is very important The newly established new dynasty is considered extremely important, but no one dares to answer it. Ordinary people think that it is too late for those who died strangely, so how can they dare to go up and reveal the list?Some people are capable, but they claim to be the survivors of the former dynasty and will never do things for the new king.The imperial court had no choice but to mention the bounty again and again in the end, but no one paid attention to the notice after it was posted for half a year, but the village that was rumored to be haunted gradually became desolate, and there was no one living within a few miles.

After noon that day, the soldiers guarding the city gate took a newly written notice to replace the old one with mottled and unreadable handwriting. He reached over and took the notice from the soldier's arms.

This little soldier was a little dissatisfied with being assigned to do such an errand, and immediately frowned, he was about to curse: "What are you..." Before he finished speaking, he was so shocked that he stopped talking, so he almost didn't bite himself off tongue--

But he saw a tall young man in Taoist robes standing opposite him, his appearance was handsome, but his eyes showed no emotion, it was so cold that he seemed to freeze people.

The little soldier is soft-spoken, and usually patrols the city to catch a ruffian at most. He has never seen such an imposing person, and he couldn't help shivering, and said: "This Taoist...but...he came to expose the notice?"

The young man nodded, and said lightly: "I'll reveal this list."

This notice has been posted for several months, except for some ordinary people who came to watch the excitement at the beginning, no one paid any attention to it. Now when someone said that the announcement was going to be announced, the little soldier suddenly felt that he had suffered from heat stroke, so that he had an accident Hallucinated, he asked again in disbelief: "You want to reveal the list? But it's true?"

The Taoist priest looked at him expressionlessly, and said "hmm".

Xiao Bing was overjoyed, he stretched out his hand and wanted to grab the young Taoist priest's wrist and drag him to the government office, but when he stretched out his hand, he avoided him, and said coldly, "You want to see the government office? Lead the way."

Xiao Bing was not angry either, thinking that he would no longer have to stand under the sun to keep an eye on anyone who revealed the list, so he looked at how pleasing the Taoist priest was, and his eyes rolled with a smile: "Yes, yes, come with me."

It’s not a day or two since the ghosts happened in Yanfu Village. The whole village disappeared overnight, no one was alive, no one was dead, no dead body was seen. Some good people have set up a “sealed village” for this village. The name, as time passed, everyone gradually called it Fengmen Village, and the name Yanfu Village was forgotten instead.

Now I heard that the Taoist priest revealed the list and went to Fengmen Village to catch demons. Many people in the city came to watch the fun. Seeing that the Taoist priest didn’t want to help, he went alone. He guessed that he was a brave man with high skills, and said that he was trying to gain fame. There are embroidered pillows, but the Taoist priest doesn't care about it, and he doesn't want any rewards. As long as the government repairs the three village temples first, the local officials will nod their heads and find someone to follow the Taoist priest's instructions. Three small temples were built nearby; the Taoist priest sent someone to the most famous restaurant in the city to pack a box of signature dishes, and then went to Fengmen Village alone with the box.

This Fengmen village is surrounded by mountains, because no one has been there for a long time, the wild grass in the mountains grows wildly, the grass was knee deep when the Taoist passed here last time, but now it is almost at the level of his waist.

He carried the food box and walked all the way to the village without looking at the surrounding scenery. He just walked straight to a pond in the village. There were still layers of fine waves in the pond, and the sound of his footsteps As soon as it sounded, the water pattern gradually subsided, and when he came close, it was already as flat as a mirror.

The Taoist took a look into the pond, the water in the pond was clear and the bottom was visible, except for some small fish and shrimps, there was nothing unusual.He pursed his lips, put the food box in his hand on the edge of the pond, took out all the dishes inside and arranged them, and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and meditating.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he keenly noticed that there was something abnormal in the fluctuation of the pond beside him, but he didn't open his eyes to look at it, but let it go. Suddenly, a bright golden color appeared among the dense clusters of aquatic plants at the bottom of the pond. It turned out to be a golden scale koi.

The koi swam its tail and swam all the way to the pond. It first showed its head to look at the Taoist priest, and saw that the Taoist priest had closed his eyes and seemed to have settled down. Then he jumped up from the water and turned into a naked man in mid-air. The boy landed lightly on the grass by the bank, then knelt and sat beside the food box, reaching for the nearest plate of imperial concubine chicken.

Before his fingers touched the chicken, his body sank suddenly. The young man turned his head to see that the Taoist priest was holding a robe in his hand and put it on his body. He raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Little Taoist priest, where did you steal it?" clothes?"

The Taoist looked at him: "I bought it with a reward." Then he frowned slightly, "Why don't you wear clothes?"

The young man grinned at him: "When have you ever seen a carp wearing clothes?" After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the food in front of him, and turned to pull the Taoist priest's clothes, "You were too hasty last time, so I forgot to tell you. I named myself 'Li', don't you think so?"

The Taoist groaned for a moment, then nodded noncommittally, but the boy asked again: "What's your name? I told you my name now, so you should also tell me your name."

"No name, no surname." Without raising his head, the Taoist pulled the boy over and put the robe on him. The latter was quite surprised: "Why? Don't everyone have a name?"

Only then did the Taoist stop what he was doing, and asked indifferently, "Who told you that I am human?"

He was born as a black snake. Everyone in the family said that a monster was born, and he was abandoned in the barren hills without any name. Later, he was picked up by an old Taoist priest, and the other party never gave him a name. Whatever the name of the Taoist name, he was only called by his disciples. Fortunately, there were only two Taoist priests in the Taoist temple. The old Taoist priest was his master, and the young Taoist priest was him.

The little boy was a little strange when he heard the words, he looked up and down the Taoist priest in front of him for a while, and said, "Aren't you a human?"

The Taoist priest raised his head to look at him, a golden light flashed through his dark eyes, and then turned into a pair of vertical golden snake pupils!

"Snake?!" The young man felt terrified when he was stared at by these eyes. He subconsciously took half a step back, then closed his eyes suddenly and shouted, "I haven't harmed anyone or done anything wrong! You The last time I came to the village, I told the woman why she killed someone, I, I, I... I am kind to you, don't eat me!"

Yin Ranyi looked amused at the young man who was almost fried, but his face was still cold: "Why don't you eat it? Since you can change form, you will definitely increase your morality if you eat it. Besides, I am a snake, so what's wrong with eating fish?" ?”

"..." The young man felt that what he said was true, and subconsciously jumped into the pond next to him. The splash of water wet the Taoist priest's clothes. Going downstream, he turned his head to look at him while swimming, leaving only a piece of clothing dangling on the water surface, and the other party was obviously terrified.

The Taoist priest is always cold-hearted, but at this moment, for some reason, he was aroused by the action of the little fish to play a little bit, and his figure flickered, all the Taoist robes on his body were scattered on the ground. , and followed suit.

The pond was not deep at all, and the boa constrictor found the koi almost as soon as it entered the water, and then circled around, wrapping the opponent in its body.

The little fish didn't struggle, stopped silently, stared at the big python with eyes, seemed to be begging and resigned, but had no intention of running away.

The big python was a little confused, bent down to look at the little fish, and said, "Aren't you running away?" He just thought it was fun to chase after him, if the little fish didn't run away, then he didn't need to chase it anymore.

Xiaoyu looked at him: "My cultivation is not high...can you eat me later?"

"Ah."

The boa constrictor seemed to be thinking, and after a moment of silence, he responded lightly, and gently touched the scales of the small fish in his arms with the tip of his tail. He rushed towards the head of the big python, but the latter couldn't dodge in time, and was hit by the fish fin on top of his head, his body froze and he couldn't move.

Seeing this, the little fish was quite curious, and even forgot all about his own intention to deal with the other party, and then used the gauze-like tail fin to poke the fins on the top of the other party's head, only the sound of the big python was heard Stiff: "Don't make trouble, come down."

The koi had this fun, seeing that they could overwhelm the opponent, how could they just let it go?Immediately, he turned around and touched the fins on the top of the python's head with his mouth, and asked, "Do pythons have fins? Why do you have these?"

After touching it for a while, he swam up to the big python again, opening and closing his snout: "I'm missing a fin on my back. Before, other fishes said I was a monster. Can you share your fin with me?"

The boa's body was stiff, and his head swung from side to side.

After going back and forth like this for a while, the little fish gradually got tired, his body softened, and he landed limply in the middle of the boa's body, and said with bubbles, "I'm tired."

"...En." The big python responded dryly, and took a moment to take the other party up to the surface of the water. As soon as the little fish came out of the water, the scales on its body gradually disappeared, and finally turned into a boy.

Sanmiao Zhenxie is a large formation. The Taoist priest will stay in Fengmen Village for three months. He passed by here a few months ago and accidentally discovered that the souls of the villagers in the village were beheaded and reincarnated. These people did not want to escape again. Shengtian, I just ask him to set up a formation so that he will not repeat the scene before his death every day. The Taoist priest came here to follow the order of his master to eliminate demons. A koi with golden scales came, claiming to be a goblin mountain monster who invited him to come and guard here. Throwing it away is to let it be "naturally raised". The murderer was also a fleeing woman bought from other places. In order to avenge her daughter, they just buried all the corpses of baby girls that could be found in the village in one place, and then buried them in the same place. The man who abandoned his daughter drowned in the pond, and later allowed the baby girl to possess him, helping her to slaughter the villagers overnight.

This is retribution. The Taoist priest has seen that woman. She has fallen into a demon barrier. The grievances accumulated by the baby girl for many years are not something that can be resolved in a short time. What surprised him was the koi. The other party seemed to have no intention of leaving. I made it clear that "eating you" that day was just a joke, but the young boy didn't know if it was because he met the same kind of monster race for the first time, he was very interested in this little Taoist priest, and he refused to leave. They circled around him every day, and the two of them went in and out together every day. When the Taoist came back to his senses, he realized that he had long been used to having a small fish behind him.

One day, the Taoist priest was packing his bags when a black shadow suddenly floated by the window. He looked up, his black eyes were unmoved, but he didn't care about him at all. Just as he was about to tie the knot, the door was suddenly blocked by someone. Pushing it away vigorously, the boy who turned into a koi carp ran in in a panic: "Why are you still packing your bags? Didn't you see the thing that ran past outside the house just now?"

"Today is the No. 90th day. After today, the Sanmiao town's evil formation will be completed, and any evil spirits will not be able to get out of the sky." The Taoist replied calmly without raising his head.

The young man stomped anxiously: "It won't happen until today! Don't clean it up!" He ran over and took the package from the Taoist priest's hand and threw it aside. The things inside immediately scattered, the young man didn't care about it, he just pulled the Taoist priest's sleeve and said: "Go, go, let's solve this first, since you are a Taoist priest, how can you not care about it!"

The Taoist also let him drag him forward, and only said: "Even if I don't do it, this evil spirit will not be able to escape."

The young man faltered slightly, rolled his eyes and said again: "Then you have to take care of it too! You are wearing a Taoist priest's clothes, and you are a Taoist priest, so it's up to you to take care of it!"

The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and hooked the gray Taoist robe on the young man with his fingertips: "You wear it too."

——That day the young man jumped into the pond recklessly, and the brocade shirt was also wet. The Taoist priest had to find another Taoist robe of his own to put on for him, but there was a little difference in figure between the two, and this robe was a bit loose .

The young man flicked his robe sleeves, "Of course I have to take care of it too!" After saying that, he looked up at the Taoist priest, saw a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, blushed, and subconsciously straightened his back: "What are you laughing at?" , you are not allowed to leave until you finish the work here!"

"it is good."

The Taoist nodded.

The two chased after the shadow all the way, only seeing a hunched old man with a sneaky figure, the young man said in a low voice: "The shadow that passed just now is that one, but I see that he is old, he doesn't seem like he will do anything bad. , if you want to strike, don't be too heavy."

The Taoist frowned slightly, with a serious expression on his face: "Is there any difference between what looks like and what doesn't look like when doing evil? I just accept it." Then he took out a charm from his sleeve, and was about to make a move, when the young man stumbled and said "Oh!" Shouted out, the old man was frightened, his hunched body bent down quite a bit, his clothes turned into a puff of dust and disappeared with the wind, and his arms became like wings in an instant. But flicking back and forth a few times, it turned into a big gray moth and flew away in the blink of an eye!

The Taoist priest stopped touching the talisman, and helplessly reached out to support the boy, who blinked at him: "I didn't pay attention."

The Taoist raised his finger and pointed to the place where the old man was standing just now, and said: "I don't know what kind of moth it is, since it ran away, I don't think it has much ability, so there is no need to chase it."

He looked serious, but the young man always felt that the other party seemed to know everything, he turned his head a little guilty, and muttered: "What if you come back again?"

The Taoist asked, "Are you afraid?"

The boy raised his head: "What am I afraid of? If I was afraid, why did I come before?"

A smile appeared on the Taoist priest's face, "Since that's the case, even if I don't stay here, you can handle it..."

"No!" He was interrupted by the young man before he finished speaking. He seemed to be very angry, and he seemed to have seen the clear look in his eyes. A monster once told me that the love of the monster race does not have many taboos in the world. If you fall in love with you, just fall in love with it. You, you, you..." At the end of the speech, he pointed his finger at the Taoist priest's nose angrily, "If you leave, where can I find you!"

The Taoist sighed softly, bent slightly and hugged the boy tightly in his arms, "Why do you need to look for me? I'm very happy when you say you've taken a fancy to me."

The young man was slightly surprised, he stood there and let him hug him for a moment, before he asked, "Happy? Are you happy with me too?"

"Ah."

The Taoist responded lightly, his face became more and more gentle, and was about to say something more, but the big moth that flew away just now flew back and landed in front of the two of them, and said in a hurried tone: "Why are you two still here?" Here, hurry... run!"

The young man blinked and looked at the other party with some puzzlement: "What's wrong with you flying in such a hurry?" He said in an intimate tone, obviously familiar with that big moth.

The Taoist priest didn't expose the young man's little tricks, he counted his fingers, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "The formation has changed!" At the moment, he didn't care about his romantic relationship with his freshly baked little friend, both of them looked serious He ran straight to a yin house in the village, where the bones of the woman and a group of baby girls were contained, and it was originally where the Taoist priests set up a formation.

The closer the two were to the house, the more they could feel the waves of resentment one after another. The woman's bones that were originally buried in the ground unexpectedly climbed out of the heavy coffin board at some point, and they were desperately trying to get rid of it. The bluestone slab with the incantations written on it was lifted, even though it was painful, it could not stop her movement.

The woman was carrying countless bones of young children, including a baby girl who was already formed, and a fetus whose hands and feet could be seen. She looked up at the oncoming Taoist priest, her eyes were full of hatred, and she clenched her right hand tightly. The hatchet that killed the whole village.

The translucent blade was slightly red, which was caused by drinking blood. The Taoist only glanced at it, and said to the young man beside him, "Go and find that hatchet."

The young man nodded, turned around and ran, now they belong to yang and the group of female ghosts belong to yin, only the hatchet in the woman's hand can be regarded as a communication between yin and yang, and it is also something that can really hurt each other.

He was originally a koi carp, and it was easy to find a hatchet in the mud at the bottom of the pond. When he returned to the room with the hatchet, he saw that the Taoist priest's hair crown had been scattered somewhere, and his face I don't know if it's my blood or that female ghost's blood on my face, my heart tightened suddenly, and I didn't care to hold up the hatchet to strike forward, but in the next second, my wrist was tightly grasped, and the Taoist gave him a look: " Don't get blood." Although he himself is a monster, he worshiped the old gentleman, cultivated the Tao, and took it as his duty to eliminate the evil monsters. knife.

The young man was stunned for a moment before he realized it, raised his hand and handed the knife over: "Okay, you come."

The Taoist took the knife and took a deep look at him: "Go and drive out all the living things in this village, remember not to use magic spells, and come back when I call you, otherwise no one will be able to escape."

"Okay." The young man didn't doubt that he was there, nodded in response, and immediately turned around and left. In Fengmen Village, apart from the villagers, there are also livestock that have gradually become wild due to long-term neglect. Even mosquitoes, birds, and ants are considered living things. It will take a lot of effort to get all these things out.

The wild animals in the mountain are enlightened, so it is much more convenient to drive them away. You don't need to say much, just sacrifice the name of the Taoist priest, and they flee in a hurry, only the one who is still in the way of animals , I don’t understand the words, I only know that someone is chasing me and I just run around blindly. The boy has a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right, and he has to follow the big yellow dog to prevent it from running back to the village. Big drops of sweat came.

The old man who turned into a big moth also helped him disperse the mosquitoes in the village. He was taken aback when he saw the young man standing outside the village panting heavily: "Why are you so tired?"

The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I...I can't use spells, of course...Of course I'm tired..."

The old man was startled, "Don't use spells?" He seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and glanced at Fengmen Village not far away, "Did the Taoist tell you so?"

Seeing the young man nodding, the old man stopped talking, and just sent all the remaining living things out of the village with him. It was almost noon in summer, and the village, which was originally full of birds and insects, suddenly became quiet. The farther you are from the village, the more you feel that the silence in the village is like a heavy drum beating hard in your heart, and every step you take makes you uneasy.

The farther away from the village, the more uneasy doubts in the young man's heart grew. When he reached the mountainside, he finally stopped, "We have traveled so far, why doesn't he let me go back?"

The old man avoided his gaze and bowed his head in silence.

The young man's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at Fengmen Village, just in time to see the place where the village was trembling like a dragon turning over in panic, and immediately said: "He's still inside!"

After all, he didn't care to say a word to the old man who was close to Chi Chi, and subconsciously ran to the village, but was grabbed by the arm: "He has good intentions to want you to live, why do you bother?" Go back and die by yourself?"

In the blink of an eye, the Taoist priest's parting glance resurfaced in his mind again. The boy's hands and feet were cold, and he said in a trembling voice, "What... do you mean?"

The old man sighed: "I think that Taoist priest is probably going to use his body to transform into an array. This Yanfu Village has killed many innocent baby girls for hundreds of years, and now they finally have a 'mother' who is willing to stand up for them. How could this be so?" give up so easily?"

When the young man heard the words "transform into an array with his body", he felt that a big part of his heart was lost suddenly. He didn't even have the heart to listen to the old man's words. He struggled to break away from the old man, "I want to go back." After saying that, he looked at it again. Looking at the hundreds of birds and beasts beside him, "You take care of them."

The old man hurriedly raised his hand to grab it, but he could barely grab a piece of green cloth. He sighed, knowing that the young man was stubborn, shook his head, turned around and continued to drive the animals to another mountain.

But on this side, the Taoist priest saw the young man's back disappear into his eyes, and then he threw away the hatchet in his hand, heaved a sigh of relief, and then broke free from his Taoist robe and turned into a giant python tens of feet long.

Just now when the woman opened the coffin, he had already sensed that something was wrong. This lonely ghost full of ghosts in the village would rather fight to the death and fight against the enemy. It is only his fault that he was not stable in Daoism, and he was easily influenced by these evil spirits. The boy actually wanted to devour the other party for a moment, he could only suppress this thought with the last sliver of clarity, and made up an excuse to let the boy leave.

At this moment, although he blocked the exit of the hut with his python body, so that the ghouls in the house could not escape, it was only a stopgap measure, if he wanted to suppress them, he had to transform himself into an array.

The Taoist priest made up his mind and stopped worrying. He just flicked his tail and beat the woman who had barely crawled out of the ground back. He swam to the top of the coffin and was about to open his mouth to bite the coffin when suddenly there was a commotion behind him. He turned his head to look at the sound of footsteps, but it was the little boy who ran back without knowing when.

The other party's eyes were slightly wet and there seemed to be tears: "Is this the only way?"

The python's golden vertical eyes stared at him for a moment, and finally touched the boy's forehead lightly with his kiss, like a precious and important kiss, and then gently pushed him away, Wanting him to leave, God knows how much this python wants to swallow the person in front of him.

The young man said in a low voice: "I once heard that those who transform into a formation with their bodies must integrate the three souls and seven souls into the formation, so that they will never be reincarnated."

The big python turned around without looking back, and didn't stop for a moment for his words.

"But it's not that there is no way to crack it, is it?" The young man said again: "As long as someone is willing to sacrifice for the person who transformed the formation, there is still a chance."

"...You!" The giant python's heart trembled. His original intention was to let the young man jump out of the dead end in Fengmen Village, but the other party ran back by himself. At that moment, he knew that this young man was probably destined to live and die with him. At the same time, what's more, in this situation, he was actually reluctant to push this person out. At first, he only thought about letting the boy survive, but now he felt that it would be good to die together.

"If I had known how it would end up like this, I should have told you that I liked you a long time ago," the young man muttered, picking up the hatchet on the ground and looking at the giant python, "I've been in and out with you for the past three months. I haven't kissed you yet, I heard that mortals want to kiss each other when they are happy, it seems that we can only wait for the next life."

The giant python said in his heart, although you haven't kissed me, I have kissed you.

He sighed in his heart, both happy and worried. He was happy that he had been lonely for twenty years and finally got a baby, but he was also worried that he would face a dead end just now. Put on the wedding dress for you, and enter the bridal chamber with you." After saying that, he sank deep into the ground, and the cry of the baby girl disappeared with his movements.

The young man's eyelashes were stained with tears, but a smile gradually appeared on his face. He walked to the edge of the pool with a knife in his hands and jumped down, and then he saw a stream of blood rushing out of the pool, staining the water red.

"Boom--"

There was loud thunder in the valley, and it was clear that the sky was clear, but several muffled thunders exploded overhead one after another. The old man stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, only to see that the village at the foot of the mountain became more and more transparent. Every time there was a thunder, the village lost part of it. , but after a few breaths, the whole village disappeared as if dissolving in the air.

"It's always been endless..."

He sat on the top of the hill, shaking his head and sighing softly.

The author has something to say:
