The mountain ghost blows out the lights

The stars are falling and the moon is in the middle of the water.

Both sides of the river are full of residential houses in Yanjing City. I don’t know if it’s too late tonight or something. There is no light on in any house, and there are no pedestrians on the road. Naturally, no one sees these two staying up late at night. , a big man who ran out to go boating on the lake.

Moreover, there is still one person sitting in a boat, the two of them are floating quietly together, neither of them is holding an oar, the picture looks very strange.

"...Is it a bit dark?" Yan Jinping broke the quiet atmosphere. He looked at the dim lights on both sides, and touched his chin in deep thought.

Although the fat burning lamp uses less materials and burns for a long time, the penetrating power of the light is not strong.It was enough to illuminate the road, but now that the two of them were on the water, the bland lighting seemed a bit insufficient.

Besides...

Shen Lianxing clearly remembered that the river passing through Yanjing city was artificially built.Logically speaking, it should be about the same width from beginning to end.However, during the short time the two of them got on the boat, the distance between the two sides of the bank gradually became farther away, and the lights became more dim.

"It seems a bit." He nodded in agreement, "It's a pity that I didn't bring a lantern today."

When Yan Jinping was looking for him, something happened suddenly. He was adjusting his arm, and he hadn't had time to make preparations before he started. Now he only has a bright ghost fan on his body.

"It's okay." Yan Jinping leaned on the boat and said with a smile, "I brought it."

Shen Lianxing: "Huh?"

He looked at Yan Jinping in surprise, Boss Yan was wearing loose clothes, because the material was very delicate, if there were too many things stuffed inside, it would definitely fall down.

Yan Jinping's body is supple and elegant today, it doesn't look like he is wearing any extra items.

Yan Jinping met his gaze, put his hand into his sleeve, and looked around.Then Shen Lianxing watched helplessly as he took out two copper oil lamps from his flowing and wide sleeves, which could not hide anything.

He turned on the oil lamp very naturally, pinched the wick with two fingers and rubbed it lightly, and the oil lamp lit up 'suddenly'.

"It's much better now." Yan Jinping let go of his hand in satisfaction, and hung the two lights on the bow of the two of them respectively.

"..." Shen Lianxing looked back and forth between the oil lamp and Yan Jinping's sleeve, his expression gradually becoming confused.

"There is something in the sleeve." Yan Jinping quickly noticed his gaze, and after thinking about it, he understood what the man was thinking, so he explained, "It's just a trick to store things, Mr. Shen laughed at it."

"This is really a very convenient technique." This ability is quite practical for a craftsman, Shen Lianxing praised, and a look of interest couldn't help showing on his face.

"It's easy to say." Yan Jinping smiled with a normal expression, "If you are interested, I will teach you the next day when I am free."

"Can I learn it?" Shen Lianxing was sincerely surprised. Although he can be regarded as a well-informed number one person, he has never been exposed to these spells and the like. "There is nothing A special threshold?"

Along the way, although he behaved normally, Shen Lianxing was actually quite surprised when he saw these strange things.It's just that he's used to being calm, and he doesn't show his emotions or anger, so he won't let others see it easily.

Spirits, ghosts, Jianmu... If it wasn't for Yan Jinping, it seemed that these things would never be able to establish contact with him, let alone let him learn the magic in his sleeves - Shen Lianxing never even thought about it .

When people in the world talk about spells and spells, they are always deified and in awe, as if if they are related to these things, they must be mysterious and inaccessible to ordinary people.

Although Shen Lianxing didn't believe this, he was inevitably affected.

"Yes." Yan Jinping didn't understand why he reacted like this. For him, this spell was really common. "What little Taoist priests on Laoshan can learn, why can't you? Could it be... Shen The young master has no confidence in himself?"

If this is the case, he intends to laugh at Shen Lianxing first, and then correct his misconceptions.

Ever since Yan Jinping met Shen Lianxing, on the one hand, he couldn't help but want to get close to him, and on the other hand, he felt unhappy with his unsatisfactory attitude.In addition, Shen Lianxing's attitude towards him has always been somewhat ambiguous, making people unable to understand what he really wants, so Yan Jinping obviously did not suffer, but subconsciously always wanted to find some ground for himself... The mentality can be said to be very naive up.

"Then trouble Boss Yan." Unexpectedly, Shen Lianxing didn't answer his words at all, and agreed logically.

At the end, he smiled and said, "The boss has favored me more and more."

Yan Jinping: ...

All right, blame himself this time.

While the two of them were talking, the two small boats lined up automatically, obviously without oars, but they were able to drift freely in the same direction.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be covered with a hazy fog.

The surface of the water is getting wider and wider, it is not so much a river, it is more like they have entered a lake with a vast water area unknowingly.

Yan Jinping stopped beckoning him, and leisurely put one hand out of the boat to fiddle with the lake water.

Shen Lianxing turned his head to look at it. The water was extremely clear, showing a deep and rich black color. It made one feel that there were some monsters with ulterior motives hidden in the deeper part of the lake, under the dark water.

——For a moment, he almost thought that Yan Jinping would just be dragged away by the lake.

Of course, this was just his illusion, Yan Jinping was still sitting upright, his slightly thick eyelashes and drooping eyelids outlined a beautiful shape together, only his fingertips were red from the cold of the lake.

Shen Lianxing stared at his fingers unconsciously for a long time, and then turned his eyes casually into the distance.

He was startled suddenly, and said uncertainly: "...There seems to be someone over there."

Yan Jinping raised his head.

The waves were shimmering, and several tall and thin figures lined up in a row, walking on the water as if they had no weight.

The distance was a bit far, and Shen Lianxing didn't see anything after looking at it for a long time, so he took out the binoculars from his arms, trying to see clearly the composition of the group.

When he looked at it from a distance, he felt that the line was very neatly arranged, but after a closer look, he found that the faces, stature, dress, and even the frequency of raising their legs were exactly the same.Everyone was wearing light armor, advancing in an orderly and silent manner.

Everyone was expressionless, their faces were very pale, and there was no reflection at all even though they were under the surface of the water. It was definitely not a normal living person at first glance.

Shen Lianxing, as a mortal who has just come into contact with this treacherous world, has never seen such a lively battle. He watched intently, as if he was afraid of disturbing the group of people, and asked in a low voice: "... Boss Yan, what are they doing here?"

"The Yin soldiers borrow the way." Yan Jinping picked up a handful of cold lake water, watched the water flow slowly out from between his fingers, and introduced, "Have you heard of it? The emperors of the world or those with great luck will end their lives. At times, there will be Yin soldiers coming to 'greet the driver'. There are so few people in this group, and they are the lowest-ranked group in terms of clothes. The most proficient, we will follow them, and we will be able to get to where we are going in a while."

The ancients often have legends about shrinking the ground into an inch and traveling thousands of miles a day. It is said that someone took a step and appeared several miles away from the original place in the blink of an eye.

People thought that they had met gods, but most of them just strayed into the passage opened by the Yin soldiers. The passage could not accommodate strangers for a long time, so they were quickly excluded and fell outside randomly.

Shen Lianxing was able to step into this passage as a living person because he was with Yan Jinping and was on the boat of Huiguang Changming.

——Even if gods really exist, how can they be so idle, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests all day long to catch people and play?Fairy picture what?

It can be seen that people scare themselves.

"So that's how it is." Shen Lianxing actually didn't fully understand, but he suddenly thought of a question at this moment, so he stopped being entangled in the matter of the Yin soldiers, and asked tentatively, "Where are we going... Where are we going? They happen to be at the same destination as us?"

"There is always only one place for the dead to go." Yan Jinping was waiting for him to ask a question, pulled his hand out of the lake, and said with a half-smile, "...Where do you think it is?"

He intentionally made a ghostly expression, and the light from the bow of the boat shone on his face from bottom to top. It was obviously the same appearance, but there was a little more eerie feeling for no reason, and his complexion was pale and radiant. , bright red lips.

From this point of view, it really looks like the rumored erotic ghost.

"It turned out to be the underworld." Shen Lianxing had expected it a long time ago, and now he nodded in acceptance, with no abnormality on his face, and caringly said, "It's cold at night, boss, pay attention to your body, don't freeze."

Yan Jinping: ...

Frustrated, he took the handkerchief from Shen Lianxing and wiped off the water on his fingertips.

Shen Lianxing held up the binoculars to watch the excitement again, Yan Jinping already felt that it would be pointless to tease him any more.He supported the side of the boat and stood up from the boat. The movements were not small, but the boat did not shake at all, as if it was fixed on the flat ground.

"Okay." Yan Jinping bent down and patted Shen Lianxing's shoulder, patted the cold air off his fingers, and greeted Shen Lianxing, "Mr. Shen, don't take a look. There are opportunities to observe closely."

"Are we just going to follow them?" Shen Lianxing put away the binoculars, he roughly estimated the speed of the small wooden boat the two of them were sitting on and the team of Yin soldiers, and speculated, "If we're on this boat, it's probably... ...difficult to keep up?"

The Yin soldiers didn't move too fast, but the wooden boat drifted too leisurely. At this speed, the two of them might not be able to catch up at dawn.

"There's no need to worry about that." Yan Jinping was well prepared and comforted him with confidence.He fumbled into his sleeve, and conveniently put something on Shen Lianxing's face - so rightly, the vent holes that were supposed to be on his nose covered Shen Lianxing's eyes.

"The purpose of the ever-burning lantern is to bring us to find the Yin soldiers." Yan Jinping said, "We don't need to take a boat for the rest of the journey."

Shen Lianxing took it off and found that it was a mask, the kind sold in Yanjing City at night, made of cardboard, with a rabbit face.The ears stick out very long, and there are shy blushes on both sides of the face, which can be said to be very lively.

"Blindfolded, lest they find you are a living person." Seeing him staring at the mask silently, Yan Jinping asked knowingly, "What's the matter, Mr. Shen doesn't like rabbits?"

"That's not true." Shen Lianxing said inexplicably, "It's just that the style of this mask is a bit..."

"That's okay." Yan Jinping took out another mask from his sleeve, "If Mr. Shen is not satisfied, I happen to have prepared another mask."

Shen Lianxing was about to take it, but when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a naive pig face, pink, with a small yellow flower on the top of his head—it was not as good as a rabbit.

"It's okay, the rabbit is fine." He immediately grasped the rabbit mask in his hand, quickly put it on his face as if he was afraid that Yan Jinping would snatch it away, and said with a very sincere smile, "I have a good relationship with Babao, and I like it the most. Rabbit."

Yan Jinping nodded in satisfaction.
