snow wolf ballad

Lu Zhiyao once asked Xue Yang whether the City God really existed.At that time, Xue Yang's answer was quite joking, telling her that the city god exists, but it is just a magistrate enshrined by the common people.You are a human being, and you cannot become a god after death.But Xue Yang's words were not complete, because the priest of the City God actually existed, but in a strict sense, it cannot be called a god, it can only be said to be a relatively powerful earth-binding spirit.

The so-called earth-bound spirit is a psionic body that is bound in a world due to some strong obsession and resentment, and has been looking for a way to be free for thousands of years.Generally speaking, although the earth-binding spirits are harmful to a certain extent and belong to a certain aggressive spiritual body, they are not considered demons. Generally, they will only pester some human beings who break into their territory. When people escape, The Earth Binding Spirit was powerless.Of course, not all earth-binding spirits are like this. For example, the City God is a very special earth-binding spirit.

Human dignitaries are enshrined by local people after death, and their psionic bodies will be bound in the Temple of the City God for a long time because of the power of incense and faith, and will not be sucked into the underworld because of natural law.Of course, although it is said that it is bound in the Temple of the City God, in fact the whole city is the site of the God of the City God, because the good men and women who believe in him are all over the city, and some families will enshrine the God of the City God, or post pictures of the God of the City God. The portrait of the god, so the spiritual power of the city god can almost spread all over the city.However, if the God of City God is in a good mood today and wants to go out to play in the city, that is impossible, because his most original psionic body is bound in the Temple of the City God. It is absolutely impossible to go out of the city, or enter an area where beliefs are confused.

Zhou Zhonghong, the city god of Songhu, also known as the prefect Zhou of Songjiang in the Qing Dynasty, has been a city god here for more than 300 years, and has been worshiped by incense for 300 years. He can be regarded as one of the more mature city gods.Even after modern times, with less faith and incense, he is still not something that ordinary psionic bodies can compete with.This person, ah no, it should be said that this ghost always likes to sleep and rarely shows up. The last time Xueyang saw him was more than 30 years ago. According to Honghu, as the guardian demon of Songhu, she also has some I haven't seen this City God in years.

Some people may ask, since the City God exists, he has been worshiped by so many people, and so many people sincerely pay homage to him every day, has he ever done anything for human beings?The answer is yes - no!As a psionic body, the City God, no matter how powerful the psionic energy is, cannot affect the affairs of the human world (yang world). Even moving a water cup placed on the table is more difficult for the City God than ascending to the sky. It is even more impossible to have any magical powers that can move mountains and seas like myths and legends.However, the only thing Chenghuang God can do is to use his powerful psychic power to influence human dreams.Dreams are the product of human "gods", and "spirits" are the same as "gods". This is the only thing Cheng Huang Ye can do.However, it is difficult to say whether the person affected by the dream will still remember the dream after waking up.

For hundreds of years, the only thing Songhu City God has done is Tuo Tuo Meng. Fortunately, he is worthy of being recognized as a good official by the common people. The kind of sour Confucian who can't stand it, the style of a school of Taoists, who has always demanded self-cultivation, governing the family, governing the country and the world. Even if he becomes a ghost, he is still strict with himself and helps the common people with little effort.

But after a long time, Mr. Daoxue will still get tired, especially since the Town God's Temple has been destroyed by several wars, and Zhou Zhonghong's spiritual power has also been weakened repeatedly, causing him to fall into a deep sleep many times.Although the Temple of the City God has been restored in recent years, the number of people who sincerely believe in the God of the City God has decreased dramatically, and Zhou Zhonghong's power has not recovered much, and he will fall into a deep sleep at every turn, basically just a decoration.Therefore, when Xue Yang brought Lu Zhiyao into the City God's Temple, she never thought of letting Lu Zhiyao meet the City God, because she knew that this guy was sleeping, and it's not good to disturb people's dreams.

But what Xueyang didn't expect was that such a city god "God" who was forgotten and didn't care at all, would actually become a key figure in Lu Zhiyao's control. This was really unexpected to her. and.It’s okay for Zhou Zhonghong to be useless, it’s okay if he doesn’t have a sense of existence, he is the biggest earth-bound spirit in Songhu after all, why is he given by the earth-bound spirit in a little-known small house, ah, it should be the earth-bound demon Devour replaces it?And it was silent, without disturbing the Red Fox subordinates guarding the City God Temple.

The current Xueyang felt depressing after hearing the unmasculine laughter from the statue of the City God on the opposite side.The melancholy male voice in that laughter is Zhou Zhonghong's voice, the more Xue Yang listens to that voice, the more Xue Yang wants to slap the statue of the City God, and curses: "Why are you laughing! If you still know the lonely emperor, hurry up Get lost!" If I had known this, why not she would have given Zhou Zhonghong, a superfluous guy, first (generally refers to sending the psionic body staying in the human world directly into the underworld) and kept it until now. Give yourself trouble.

Xueyang floated in front of the statue of the City God, her ankle-length silver-white hair gradually rose up in the calm of the wind, she lowered her eyes slightly, a cold light flowed from the bottom of her golden pupils, her cheeks biting up and down raised the angry veins on her forehead, her fists leaped The tighter the pinch, the limit of endurance has obviously been reached.But she is still trying to delay time, after all, she still can't find out the origin of the earth-binding spirit that swallowed Zhou Zhonghong for the time being, and she really doesn't know how to break through this gap.Fortunately, Xue Yang has already controlled the statue possessed by the Earth Binder and the formation around the statue.Her absolute space control has already searched the hall, but has not found anything similar to the puppet doll, so it is not clear where this guy hid the puppet doll.

However, Xue Yang also had intentions and intentions. After Lu Zhiyao was kidnapped by Trumen, Xue Yang had a mind and asked Heizi to cast a spiritual barrier on Lu Zhiyao.This thing is a bit like the Occlumency Technique that Professor Snape taught Harry Potter in the "Harry Potter Series". It has a certain ability to resist monsters that want to devour Lu Zhiyao's spiritual soul.It's just that Xueyang didn't expect that before she cast this enchantment, Lu Zhiyao's brain had already been invaded, and a secret seed was planted, which finally germinated and blossomed tonight.But also because of this layer of protection, it made it difficult for the Earth Bound Demon to devour Lu Zhiyao, which had the greatest effect of delaying time.

"Heizi, has there been no news yet?"

"Reporting to my lord, all the monsters have turned the entire Town God's Temple upside down, and many big monsters took the little ones to search the old house, but they didn't find any puppet dolls."

Xue Yang bared her teeth, with sharp white spikes showing on her lips.

Through Heizi, Xueyang and a group of big monsters scattered outside the temple can have a spiritual dialogue, so there is no need to speak, and there is no need to transmit voices, excluding the participation of little monsters, and there is no possibility of being eavesdropped or leaked by the enemy.

Xue Yang was really in a hurry, that is to say, the Earth Binder in front of him had expected that he would look for the puppet doll, so he hid the puppet doll in a very hidden place, and he would definitely not be able to find it in a short time.But now I can't forcefully attack immediately, because if the opponent immediately cuts off the control of Lu Zhiyao by the big puppet technique, Lu Zhiyao's life will be lost.Right now, the other party is slowly consuming and wearing away the spiritual protective barrier set up by Heizi, and I don't know how long it can last.She has all the skills in her body, so she can only wait here anxiously, watching helplessly as the other party regards Yao'er as a big meal that is about to be eaten.

Time passed by every minute and every second, just when a pale belly appeared in the east, God finally favored Xueyang again, and Heizi's voice sounded like an angel's voice in her heart:

"My lord, I went to check the records of the original owner of the old house and have returned, and my subordinates have connected her to the spiritual network and asked her to report to the lord."

As soon as Heizi finished speaking, the cold voice of the recorder sounded from the bottom of Xueyang's heart:

"My lord..."

"Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about the main points directly." Xueyang said.

"Yes, my lord, the original body of this Earthbound Demon is the official wife of the first son of the head of the Ji family of the big family in Huating County in the early Northern Song Dynasty——Ji Chu family, small character Xuanfang."

"Wait...what's going on, tell me in detail." Lu Ying's words were too sloppy and direct, omitting most of the important details, which really made Xue Yang puzzled.

"Chu Xuanfang, the No. 17 grandson of the Chu Clan, because she is a woman, shouldn't be included in the family tree, but because of her outstanding contribution to the family, it is recorded in the Chu Clan genealogy. Because the Chu Clan's direct line, in that generation, only The rest of her daughter and grandchildren either died young or died suddenly, or they were infertile and left no blood. Only this daughter married, gave birth to a child, and later adopted a boy back as a descendant of the Truman family. A generation of heirs."

Xueyang was shocked when he heard this, as if a thunderbolt flashed in his mind, many confused things immediately became connected, no wonder, no wonder, it turned out to be Truman!

The recording continues:

"Chu Xuanfang was intelligent since she was a child. She was born with a spiritual body and penetrated yin and yang. She is a rare yin and yang wizard in a hundred years. She mastered almost all of Truman's yin and yang techniques at the age of eight. At the age of 13, she created her own yin and yang techniques and perfected her predecessors The incomplete big puppet technique passed down has become the strongest onmyoji of the Trumen. However, she is a woman. She originally relied on her father, who was the head of the Trumen family at the time, to learn the ancestral yin and yang that only direct males can learn It is against the rules to practice magic, and she is not allowed to show her face and go outside to exorcise demons. Therefore, she has yin and yang spells, but she has never exorcised demons. It is because of her temper that she often uses spells to toss the servants in the mansion.

By the age of 15, her marriage was on the agenda.Because the Trumen at that time did not live in the present eastern Zhejiang, but near the present Kunshan.Therefore, it was adjacent to the Ji family, the largest family in Huating County at that time, and they had close contacts, and they also had the willingness to marry.The Ji family is a wealthy family, and the current head of the family was an official in Beijing at that time, and he was a high-ranking official even when he was an official in charge of political affairs.He and his first wife had a young son named Ji Zihao, who was still studying at the time and was waiting for a few years to pass the exam.About eighteen years old, exactly the age of marriage.At that time, the younger brother of the head of the Chumen family was also an official in Beijing, and was the supervisor of Si Tianjian.Although it can't be compared with a first-rank official who participates in political affairs, it can barely be regarded as an official family. In addition, the youngest son is married. The Ji family didn't care too much about the woman's family status, so the marriage was settled easily.

After Chu Xuanfang got married, he and Ji Zihao had a very good relationship. The young couple was loving and loving, it was a match made in heaven.Chu Xuanfang's temperament is lively and unrestrained, while Ji Zihao's temperament is introverted and calm. The two complement each other and get along very well.A few years later, the duo soon had three children, an eldest son, eldest daughter and second son.The second son planned to adopt Chu Men and change his surname to Chu.But because the couple were reluctant to part with this youngest son, they kept them by their side until they were seventeen or eighteen years old, and Chu Xuanfang taught him the Truman Yin-Yang Art in person.

In June of the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Ji Zihao, his wife, and their youngest son, who was 14 years old at the time, went to Changzhou (now Suzhou) for fun.On the sixth day of June, a family of three went boating on the lake. In the evening, they saw strange astrological phenomena appearing in the sky over Changzhou. Chu Xuanfang was very interested, and immediately deduced the astronomical phenomena on the boat. When he came out of the cabin, his face was pale, he was sweating profusely, almost collapsed, and he did not explain the calculation result to his husband and son, but carefully sealed the calculation result in a sandalwood dowry, and the matter was revealed..."

"These things... where did you know such details?" Xue Yang suddenly interrupted the recorded report, his voice was full of inconceivable, even surprised and uncertain emotions.

"Returning to my lord, this is a travelogue I read from Ji Zihao's notebook. He likes to visit mountains and rivers. Everywhere he goes, he will record his travel notes in detail and make a notebook. This subordinate deliberately found Ji's ancestral grave. This record was buried in Ji Zihao's tomb, and it is still well preserved, so the record is fairly detailed."

Hearing this, Xue Yang's face became extremely solemn.

"Continue." She said in a deep voice.
