After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

The next day was a sunny day.

A large number of anchors had already left Yueshan Village. When Lu Yingjiu got up in the morning, he opened the curtains, and the sky light poured into the dim room, dazzlingly bright.He squinted his eyes and looked out. Three or four children ran past downstairs chattering, and several cars were driving away from the village.

They still eat breakfast at the hotel.

The hotel's buffet breakfast is finally not so rubbish, it looks like a normal kitchen.

Lu Yingjiu took some scrambled eggs to eat, and looked around while eating.

Although the anchors were terrified to death, the village was completely normal.Not to mention that the staff of this hotel look calm and open as usual, even the adults are relieved that the children are running around outside.

Really calm to ridiculous.

He said: "People here are too calm, it always feels a little strange."

"Oh, this matter," Ye Feng held the chicken wings, "it's a long story, and I'm about to tell you about it."

He took a few bites of the chicken wings, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and looked around with a complicated expression—they were sitting in a very corner, and even the waiters rarely came over.

He continued: "I didn't tell you the whole story at the beginning, because it really happened a long, long time ago, and even the Ye family didn't think it mattered."

"Yueshan Sanatorium did not close down because of poor management."

"From the summer of 02, the hospital seemed to be cursed. Whether it was the patient or the ghost exorcist, there were mysterious disappearances and deaths. At first, it was just a case. They thought it was the wild ghosts in the mountains, or the patients themselves. I ran away, and then I slowly realized that something was wrong."

Lu Yingjiu nodded: "I've heard a little bit about it."

When he was still at the Blue Lantern Festival, he had heard similar rumors.

It's just that the news was tightly blocked at that time, and after so many years, the rumors were very illusory and there were many versions.

Ye Feng said: "The ghost exorcist of the family has not found out the reason, but it can only be attributed to the gathering of patients who have been hit by ghosts here for many years, resulting in too much yin, which has polluted the luck of the entire mountain range and attracted unknown people. ghosts."

"No one dared to work anymore, and finally they closed the hospital in a hurry in early 03 and left here."

Xiao Li suddenly realized: "It turned out to be like this! I was also surprised that everyone needed the nursing home so much, and it was closed when it said it would be closed."

"Yes," Ye Feng nodded, "It is really necessary to close the hospital. Although my second grandfather strongly opposed it, he still had to compromise in consideration of safety issues."

Ye Feng looked around again, making sure that no one could hear their conversation.

The waiter is far away, and the guests at another table are also diagonally diagonally.

He said: "I also said before that the second master has a strange temper and is moody. He praises me desperately when he is happy, brings me candies, windmills or other small toys, and I dare not appear in front of him when I am angry... In short, use According to my dad, he is as stubborn as a cow."

"He was unwilling to leave like this. He felt that it would damage the Ye family's reputation. He brought the ghost exorcist back to the courtyard to find the truth over and over again."

"They failed. Several people who went with them, and those who tried to directly destroy the nursing home, all got seriously ill after returning. Some recovered, and some died directly."

Lu Yingjiu asked: "I remember you said that your second grandmother also died of illness."

Ye Feng sighed: "Yes. To be precise, both of them died of illness."

"But their condition has nothing to do with the nursing home."

"The second grandmother passed away in 00, and the hospital was closed in 02. The second master suffered from lung cancer. He had been treated for many years, and died of illness in his hometown in 07."

Xiao Li inserted a sausage, took a big bite, and suddenly said strangely: "If the nursing home is really cursed, why are we here now?"

Ye Feng replied: "That's because after the nursing home gradually returned to normal, after a few years, if people come in and out at will, they won't get sick anymore."

"That's why I said that after so many years, everyone feels that this matter is irrelevant..."

"However, there is an abnormality in your second master's photo," Lu Yingjiu said, "plus the appearance of Zhang Nianyun, it proves that there is indeed a problem here."

"That's right, what you said is right." Ye Feng had a headache, and when he thought of the whole thing, he lost his appetite. "The relics left by the second master are probably the clues for me."

"In short, let's go back to the original topic." He said, "When the casualties in the nursing home were the worst, the people in the village were completely fine. After so many years, they probably got used to it, knowing that no matter what happens, the village will not be affected. Something will happen. That's why they're so calm."

Xiao Li was dumbfounded when he heard this: "The people in this village are all ruthless people."

"I also think," Ye Feng said, "it's too stupid. In the past, they didn't shy away from nursing homes. Even if they knew that the sanatorium was used to exorcise ghosts, they still wandered around the neighborhood. Picking wild fruits, what should they do? Those who herd sheep, the folk customs are really tough..."

After breakfast, Ye Feng said that his family told him something, and he was going to the mountains.

Since we are going, of course we will go together.

After all, which tree is Second Grandma still climbing?If she was so happy to see her good grandson and came up to kiss Ye Feng, it would be troublesome.

Half an hour later, Lu Yingjiu was already standing at the foot of the mountain. In front of him was a small path overgrown with weeds and piled with rocks, winding its way up the mountain.

The sanatorium was on the north side of the village, and they were going to the south side now, which was the complete opposite.

There was nothing in the hotel, so Ye Feng had no choice but to ask the village chief Feng Mao for four paper maps.

Unexpectedly, Feng Mao held four maps and followed them all the way to the foot of the mountain.

The old man was still wearing sweatshirts, waving a cattail fan, and looked very suspicious: "Are you really just going for a walk on the mountain?"

"That's right," Ye Feng nodded, "It's really just a stroll around, nothing to do."

Feng Mao said again: "You don't have fo on you, do you?"

He has a heavy accent, and what he said should mean "fire".

Ye Feng nodded again and again: "Absolutely not. We are very environmentally conscious, and we must protect every plant and every tree! We firmly resist such evil behaviors as setting fire to mountains! Obey the law and abide by the law. rise!"

Lu Yingjiu lightly elbowed Jingxian, meaning "do you hear me?"

He still remembers that incident in the nursing home, when Jing Xian had written all over his face that he wanted to set fire to the mountain.

Jing Xian said in a low voice: "I'm not not environmentally friendly. Think about it, if those trees burn, don't they all go to the ghost world?"

Lu Yingjiu:?

Lu Yingjiu: "Is there such a reason?"

"Yes," Jing Xian said, "Don't you often burn paper money and ingots? Those things will go to the underworld when they are burned, so of course they will go to the underworld when trees are burned."

Lu Yingjiu always felt that this logic was very strange, but he couldn't think of any flaws.

He asked again: "Paper money and ingots are burned for relatives and friends. Where can they go when the woods are burned?"

"You can go anywhere." Jing Xian said, "Sometimes a large forest will suddenly grow on the streets of the ghost world."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

With Ye Feng's reassurance, Feng Mao was finally hesitant, weighed the map in his hand, and distributed it to the four people one by one.

When saying goodbye, Feng Mao said again: "Didn't you all say that there are ghosts on this mountain? Why don't you leave when the others have left?"

"Isn't it necessary to investigate clearly?" Ye Feng said, "If you don't get rid of her, you don't feel at ease."

Feng Mao snorted: "We feel at ease. Let me warn you again, don't get mad."

"Okay, okay," Ye Feng reassured, "absolutely no fo, absolutely no fo."

Feng Mao then walked slowly towards the village with his hands behind his back.

After getting the map, Lu Yingjiu and the others started to go up the mountain.

When the wind blows, the sea of ​​trees rustles.

The path has been repaired in the past, and there are stone stairs in parts.It's just that the stone ladder is worn out badly, covered with weeds and moss, and it's not easy to stay on.

Ye Feng led the way, and Xiao Li followed behind him.

The two of them were bitten by flower mosquitoes so painfully that they couldn't resist after spraying them with mosquito repellent, but they still saw them buzzing and flying around, their stomachs filled with their own blood.The more you go to the mountains, the more it is like this, it is a carnival of mosquitoes.

"Brother Ye Feng!" Xiao Li gritted his teeth, "Your grandma is really awesome! I can't stay in this kind of place for a day!"

Ye Feng had just slapped a mosquito to death, his hands were bloody, and he was looking for tissues everywhere: "She has always been determined, bold and careful, even the private money that the second master has hidden for ten years can be pulled out, do you think she can do it?" Forced?!"

"Isn't your second master clean and honest! How come you still have private money!"

"The private money is only 50 yuan, hidden under a patient's bed!" Ye Feng wiped his hands vigorously, "The patient is crazy. When he loses control, he will bite everyone, and he won't let go. Second Mistress secretly In the past, he was subdued by himself alone, and then he lifted his bed, took out the 50 yuan, and threw it in front of the second master, saying that you can figure it out."

Xiao Li was shocked: "Looking at the photos, I thought she was of a quiet style."

"It's even more scary when a quiet person is ruthless." Ye Feng started to beat the mosquitoes again, "Look at her, can you imagine that she can climb trees so fast?"

"No. She's really as nimble as a gibbon."

While listening to their chat, Lu Yingjiu thought, between Xiao Li and Ye Feng, at least one person has type O blood.

It is too good at attracting mosquitoes.

The two were chatting, and there were more and more mosquitoes around them, almost like a small black whirlpool. Seeing this, Lu Yingjiu didn't show his face, and quietly leaned towards Jingxian——

He knew last time that there wouldn't be any bugs by relying on Jing Xian.

Lu Yingjiu smelled the light fragrance on him again.

He asked, "Have you worn perfume?"

Jing Xian was stunned for a moment: "No, I have a smell?"

"It seems to have a fragrance." Lu Yingjiu replied, "I've never smelled this kind of smell before."

Lu Yingjiu actually doesn't know much about perfume.

His knowledge was limited to the perfumes of a few female colleagues, citrus or rose, violet or sandalwood.The only men's fragrance I've ever smelled is Chu Banyang's body - people who are not interested in perfumes will only think "oh he might wear perfume", and then forget it.

But he couldn't describe the air of respect and leisure.

It was like the first snow, or a new moon.

Probably only these illusory things can be described.It is quite ingenious for men to match this kind of fragrance. It has a low sense of presence and will not make people feel obtrusive, but it will never be forgotten after smelling it.

Jing Xian was silent for a few seconds.

Lu Yingjiu didn't know what his reaction would be, as soon as he turned around, he saw Jing Xian sniffing the back of his hand suspiciously, seeing Lu Yingjiu turning around, he put it down quickly, pretending nothing happened.

Lu Yingjiu laughed all of a sudden: "How can you smell it yourself?"

"Oh." Jing Xian paused for a few seconds, "Maybe it's the flower fragrance from the ghost world, don't you like it?"

"No, it smells good."

So Jing Xian couldn't hide his smile at all, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

After finally reaching a steep slope, Jing Xian stretched out his hand to Lu Yingjiu: "I'll pull you up."

Lu Yingjiu refused to take his hand and said, "No need."

On this slope, Chen Xiaoling's ruthless person can go up in high heels, and maybe even step on a few stone steps.What could be wrong with him?

Jing Xian's thoughts were written all over his face.

Jing Xian said: "Look how dangerous this slope is..."

"No." Lu Yingjiu said.

Jing Xian turned around and said, "I'm afraid I might fall, so I need you to pull me."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He had a new understanding of Jing Xian, he slapped Jing Xian's hand away with black lines all over his head, and climbed up the slope by himself.

Jing Xian was nagging behind him: "What if I really fall?"

Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, who was the person who was walking swiftly next to me just now?Not to mention Po, even if he throws Jing Xian off the cliff, nothing will happen to Jing Xian, maybe he will pick a beautiful flower from the cliff to send him back.

Jing Xian added: "There are also a lot of moss here."

Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, I see that you are walking faster than me, there is not much moss, but there are quite a lot of excuses.

Jing Xian said: "If I fall down and become disabled, you will have to take care of me for the rest of your life. Even if you are a widow, you don't have to worry about it, and you have to feed your husband porridge..."

Lu Yingjiu slapped him again, stopped him from talking, and immediately looked ahead.

——Ye Feng and Xiao Li were still beating mosquitoes, so they didn't hear them.

He whispered, "How can you talk so nonsense and talk nonsense."

Jing Xian said: "In short, my core idea is that the mountain roads here are really dangerous."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

They were still walking up the slope, and the slope was getting steeper and steeper. They were getting entangled in long grass from time to time, which was very annoying.

A few seconds later, Lu Yingjiu sighed inwardly, turned around, and stretched out his hand to Jing Xian——

He was caught immediately.

Although in theory he was the one to pull Jing Xian, but in reality, Jing Xian not only walked swiftly, but also had bigger hands than him, almost covering his entire palm.

Those two were just ahead.

Although they knew that Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian would never be lost, and they hadn't looked back for a long time, Lu Yingjiu was still inexplicably guilty.

His ears were a little hot.He wasn't sure whether it was caused by the hot weather or some other reason. He kept his head silent and the two climbed up this steep slope one after the other.

As soon as he went up, Ye Feng was talking, and suddenly turned around: "Oh Lu Yingjiu..."

Lu Yingjiu subconsciously wants to let go of her hand——

In the end, Jing Xian took a step ahead of him, and let go of his hand in time.

Ye Feng didn't see anything, and continued: "I remember you had a commission before, and you also went into the forest?"

"Yes." Lu Yingjiu said, "A mountain ghost appeared at that time, so I went up the mountain to look for it."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up: "Mountain ghost! I haven't seen it yet, what does it look like?"

"Normally, it's no different from a human being. Only when it's cloudy, such as at night, will it wander around the hills as a ghost..." Lu Yingjiu turned his head to see Jingxian's expression while talking.

Jing Xian raised his eyebrows at him with a bit of complacency, meaning to see how fast he reacted, right?By the way, he stuffed another bag of peanuts into his hand.

Till today, Jing Xian really didn't seem to make him feel bad.

Lu Yingjiu couldn't help laughing, even when he told the story about the mountain ghost, his tone was filled with a smile.

Xiao Li felt strange when he heard it, what's so funny about this story?Looking back at Lu Yingjiu, he couldn't think of a reason, but it could only be attributed to the fact that he, Brother Lu, really liked exorcising ghosts, maybe he had a special liking for mountain ghosts.

Just stop and go all the way, the mobile phone has no signal, so I can only follow the map.

After walking for more than two hours, we finally reached the top of the hill.

At the top, a dilapidated hexagonal pavilion stood.

There are shallow lines on the pillars of the pavilion, and a snake that is burning with flames winds up and spits out letters on the top of the pavilion, which is lifelike.There are still some mottled marks on the wall, as if some rectangular paper has been pasted on it, it should be talisman paper or something.

The four of them arrived at the pavilion.

Along the way, even though the trees shaded the sun, it was very hot, and there was almost no wind. Even after drinking a bottle or two of water, I still felt parched.When I arrived at the pavilion, the surroundings were open, and suddenly there was a cool breeze blowing in my face, which made my sweaty back feel slightly chilled, which was very comfortable.

The angle of the pavilion is also very good.

Looking around, you can see the surrounding large stretches of mountains.

In the dazzling sunlight at noon, Lu Yingjiu half-closed his eyes.

He saw two other mountain peaks nearby, and there seemed to be such a pavilion on the top.

"Finally here." Ye Feng let out a long breath, wiped the bench of the pavilion, sat down, and spread the map on the chair, "This is the pavilion that Ye's family built before."

The wind blew the map rattling, Ye Feng pressed the map tightly with one hand, took out a fountain pen with the other hand, bit off the cap of the pen with his mouth, and drew a circle on the map: "We are here now, Pavilion No. 3, Hong Qifeng."

He pointed to the two mountain peaks in the distance, also circled on the map, and said, "There are Pavilion No. 1 and Pavilion No. 2 there."

Xiao Li asked: "Is this a tourist route? Your Ye family is quite good at developing a side business."

"What?" Ye Feng said, "my grandfather is not so versatile. I asked a few elders yesterday if they knew about 'worshiping mountains', and they told me about it. This matter should be obtained from the nursing home. Let's talk about the location."

He continued: "The mountain range near the nursing home is called Wanming Mountain. There are more than 30 peaks, large and small, with hexagonal pavilions built on each of them. If we connect them together, we can outline the direction of the mountain range."

He circled the location of the nursing home.

Then, starting from the sanatorium, passing through the peaks, a curve is drawn.

Bend and bend, the final line drawn looks like a giant snake with a wide head and narrow tail, and its sharp teeth are drawn out from two cliffs.And the sanatorium is in its eyes.

Ye Feng pointed to the curve again: "The Ye family has a close relationship with 'Li Snake', and it can display its strength in the mountains. This mountain range is blessed by the snake god, and the pavilions strengthen its power. The sanatorium is located here. That's why."

"Since you are blessed, you have to thank Li Snake—that's what they call 'worshiping the mountain'."

"Two or three times a year, the Ye family set off from the nursing home and visit all the more than 30 pavilions. On the one hand, it is to strengthen the talisman paper, and on the other hand, it is to express gratitude."

Lu Yingjiu said: "But you said that the nursing home was closed because the air in the mountains was polluted, and people began to disappear and die."

"Yes." Ye Feng sighed, "With Li Snake guarding, this kind of thing should be impossible. I have an idea now, do you remember the photos we got in the nursing home?"

He took the photo out of his wallet.

That was the group photo they found in the video tape: Little Ye Feng was riding on Ye Deyong's neck, next to Zhang Nianyun, and twenty or thirty employees of the nursing home.

On the back of the photo, there are flying and phoenix handwriting:

【January 1999, 1, the third visit to the mountain】

Ye Feng said: "Among all the pavilions, the most critical formation eyes are the first three pavilions, which are the one under our feet and the two far away. I came here to confirm the situation of the pavilions - as long as they are in good condition, it means that the formation is still intact. It barely exists, and it is worth visiting. What I think is that we can walk the mountain worship road again, maybe we can find some clues, and we can... also see my second grandma again."

Lu Yingjiu nodded and said, "Sounds like a solution, we have no other choice."

Ye Feng sighed: "Then let's take a rest and start going down the mountain. Go back to the hotel and get ready, and go up the mountain tomorrow."

Little did they know that the weather was hot and dry when going up the mountain, and there were too many mosquitoes, but there were no mosquitoes when we went down.

Because when we got to the middle of the mountain, it started to rain suddenly.

It was just a drizzle at first.

Lu Yingjiu pinched a piece of talisman paper and blocked it around, barely stopping Yusi.

As a result, within 10 minutes, lightning split the sky like a mad snake, thunder rumbled down, and the bean-sized rain poured down, and the rain boiled and crackled on the leaves.The talisman couldn't stop it at all, and the entire forest was tilted in the strong wind.

The stone road under his feet was already worn out, smooth and mossy.

——This time it was really slippery.

"Ouch!" Xiao Li let out a low cry, slipped on his foot, and fell down more than a dozen steps. When he stood up, he covered his buttocks and gritted his teeth, "I really had a bad luck today!"

Just as Ye Feng was about to speak, his feet slipped, and he moved his feet several times like moonwalking on the road, dancing with his arms and legs, and managed to stand firm.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Observing the environment is an important quality of a good ghost exorcist. He knew that according to the law of bad luck transmission, it would be his turn next, so he silently supported Jing Xian, and immediately felt a lot more at ease.

Jingxian was very useful, with his right arm around Lu Yingjiu's shoulder, he walked steadily down, helping him to keep out the wind and rain by the way.

Even in the wind and rain, going down the mountain is faster than going up the mountain. It only took more than 20 minutes to get back to the village from the middle of the mountain.

When they arrived at the hotel, the four of them were all drenched. They each pinched a piece of talisman to dry themselves, but their clothes were still a little damp.

As soon as Lu Yingjiu returned to the room, Jingxian stuffed her into the bathroom.

The sound of the rain outside was almost violent. Lu Yingjiu turned on the shower faucet, and the hot water poured down, flowing over the butterfly bones, straight back and waist, taking away the coldness of the rain, and relaxing every muscle in his body stand up.He has scars on his body, but it doesn't affect the beauty of his slender body.

After taking a bath, I feel much more comfortable and feel comfortable all over.After he put on his home clothes, he picked up the longevity lock that was placed beside him.

Ever since Jingxian appeared, Changshousuo has never had a fever again.

Probably because the original deity came to him, it was completely useless.

Lu Yingjiu smiled, and put the longevity lock back on according to the old habit.

When he came out, Lu Yingjiu smelled a hot smell of ginger.

There is a bowl of cola ginger tea on the table.

The freshly cooked kind.

Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a few seconds: "Is there still ginger tea here?"

Jing Xian said, "I borrowed the restaurant's kitchen."

Lu Yingjiu doubted this "borrow" for half a second, and then asked, "For me?"

"Ah."

"Why didn't you make one for yourself?"

Jing Xian smiled: "I won't catch a cold."

Lu Yingjiu originally wanted to say that I wouldn't catch a cold either.

He has never seen any harsh environment, heavy rain and typhoon, scorching heat and extreme cold, a little rain will not catch a cold.But when the words came to his lips, he felt inappropriate - after all, it was ginger tea specially made for him by others, so it seemed ungrateful to say so.

He sat down and said, "Thank you."

After taking a sip, the spicy taste of ginger is just right, not too irritating nor too bland.

In the following time, Lu Yingjiu sat on the bay window in the house.

He turned on the light and looked at his phone while drinking tea.The black-haired dumpling came to play with him again, and after rubbing against him, it rolled to every corner of the room, smelling it everywhere.

There was a violent storm outside the window, but the lights inside the house were bright. The warmth of ginger tea started from the stomach and was carried by the blood throughout the body.

What followed was lazy sleepiness.

After finishing the last sip of ginger tea, he put the bowl aside, thinking about what he would bring with him when he walked the mountain road tomorrow.

No matter what, he had to remind Ye Feng and Xiao Li to bring more mosquito repellent.

Lu Yingjiu looked out the window.

The rainwater slowly flowed down the glass, and the ripples on the lake not far away spread in circles, and the rain was blown obliquely by the wind, making it white.

In this kind of weather, no one would go out, and there was no one on the road, only the lights of every house under the blue sky could be seen, and people could be vaguely seen from the windows.

As you look at it, the focus of your sight changes.

He saw Jingxian in the reflection of the glass.

Jing Xian picked out a handful of beans from his countless snacks and fed them to Mao Tuanzi.

The hair balls were eaten with a click.

Jing Xian took another spicy stick.

Hairy dumplings are always available.

Lu Yingjiu just looked at them from the reflection.

Sleepy and lazy, warm yellow lights, warm air, the handsome and picturesque man in the house and the little furry black beast, the combination is quite a bit of time and tranquility.

He just raised the corners of his lips unconsciously, when he suddenly saw Jing Xian take out half of ginger.

...looks a lot like leftover raw materials for ginger tea.

Lu Yingjiu:?

The hair balls were eaten with a click.

Jing Xian watched it eat, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at Lu Yingjiu.

Lu Yingjiu quickly looked away, pretending not to look at them.

Seeing that Lu Yingjiu didn't look this way, Jing Xian quickly took out a skull from his bag and fed it to Mao Tuanzi.

Mao Tuanzi: "Crack, click, hiccup!" Then he frantically wagged his tail at Jing Xian.

Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?

What is Jingxian feeding his summons? !
