The sky was crimson, as if blood had been splashed, staining half of the sky.As far as the eye could see, the dark green forest sea was on fire, and golden-red magma erupted everywhere, splashing hundreds of feet high like a fountain.The splashed lava flowed like a river, leaving deep scars on the mountain.There seemed to be many big chimneys set up under the cliff, and the hot gray and black smoke rushed straight up, licking the blood-red sky.There is a burning smell in the air, which is very pungent. The Baochen Mountain, which was originally a fairy, is now like a purgatory of Shura.

Xie Xunwei stood in the room, weeping silently.

This is his master's ghost domain, covering the entire Baochen Mountain.In the ghost domain, the power of evil spirits is everywhere.His master changed the mountain structure of Baochen Mountain, cracked the ground, and hot magma broke through the surface.However, the disciples of Xianmen are also rushing forward.Countless monks charged at the foot of the mountain, their swords glowing like snakes, and they rushed at high speed in the flames and magma.The heads of each family formed a magic circle in all directions at the foot of the mountain, and summoned torrential rain to wash away the barrier, trying to destroy his master's ghost domain.

"Master..." Xie Xunwei heard his hoarse voice.

"It's time to say goodbye, Xun Wei."

In the vision blurred by tears, the tall man reached out and pressed the top of his head.The palm is warm, as always, Xie Xunwei's tears flow down.He couldn't help thinking, it's a lie, how could such a warm master be a ghost?He obviously has a name and identity, his name is Baili Jueming, he is the Elder Elder of Baochen Mountain, he is the younger brother of the Great Master Wudu, he can joke, cook, perform fire-breathing in the market at the foot of the mountain, and He would make Dali pills with garlic and sell them in wine shops, and then he was arrested and chased all over the street with his apprentice.

How could such a man be an ugly ghost?

However, the fact is that the master does not drink or eat, and he will not grow old. He thought that the master is profound in Taoism and has reached the state of perfection. It turns out that all this is because the master is a ghost.Master is already dead, dead people don't need food, dead people don't grow old.

"I can't explain it to you. They are right. I am indeed a ghost, a living evil spirit attached to a dead body." Baili Jueming lowered his head and drew out his knife. A flash passed in the hut, "My body has not rotted for many years, and it is no different from ordinary people. It is because of the six-petal lotus heart on my chest. Half of the gang of thieves at the bottom of the mountain probably came because of this."

"Six-petal lotus heart?" Xie Xun asked slightly.

"That's right, the lotus heart can make a dead person like me invulnerable. Those thieves think that eating it will make them rejuvenate." Baili Jueming smiled with his mouth twisted, and suddenly his face became serious, "There is still half, about It's for you."

Xie Xun lowered his eyes slightly, tears dripping down his eyelashes.

"You are the orphan daughter of the Xie family in Wuzhong. You have a pure yin horoscope and a congenital furnace. Over the years, so many thieves pretended to come to marry you, but I beat them back. If you fall into the hands of these pigs and dogs, most likely There will be no good end." Baili Jueming threw away the scabbard, bit his index finger, and touched Xie Xunwei's forehead, the fingertips glistened with blood, "So, Master, I will cast a curse of evil spirits in your body. From then on , except for your master and me, whoever touches you will die, and whoever humiliates you will die. However, your marriage is probably over here."

"I don't want marriage," Xie Xun cried and shook his head slightly, "I want Master to live."

"Stupid child," Baili Jueming patted his head, "I died very early, for so long that I can't even remember my age, the oldest bastard in Xianmen is not as old as me, Those suzerain elders are grandsons compared to me. You are only fourteen this year, and you are still young. You still have a lot of things to do. But you have to remember that all men in the world are pigs and dogs. Doubt, nonsense is more true than this."

Xie Xunwei was speechless for a while, Master probably forgot that he is also a man.

Baili Jueming said seriously: "The first house on the north side of the Lianhua Bridge in Jinling, remember? A big courtyard with three entrances and three exits, the location is good, and there is a market when you go out. It was originally a dowry saved for you by your teacher. Buried under the root of a willow tree outside the house. A girl’s house is safe only with money in her hand.”

No matter what time it is, you are still saying such nonsense.Xie Xun choked with sobs, but this is his master, arrogant, full of nonsense, and never reliable.This man didn't know that his apprentice was not a girl at all.

The first batch of Xianmen disciples broke through the flame barrier and came up the mountain, Xie Xunwei heard their shouts of killing.They were looking for Baili Cassia, the light of the sword pierced the night, and a thread of silver swallows in the firelight was as white as a silver swallow.Baili Jueming took a deep look at him, raised the knife and pushed open the dilapidated chaimen, dazzling fire light poured into the narrow hall like golden sand, half of Baili Jueming's face was shrouded in the thick blood-like light, facing the wind The fluttering strands of hair seemed to be burning.

"You should go, apprentice."

He swung his sword forward and faced all the disciples of the fairy sect who climbed up the mountain alone.An invisible air curtain unfolded beside him, and all the spells flying towards him like fireflies instantly dimmed and turned into ashes.He twirled, stepped, and stabbed, and the blade was heated red and bright like a rainbow by the high temperature of his palm.The monks rushed forward one by one, he grabbed a monk by the hair like a rabbit, the hot blade cut the man's throat, and the bright red blood splashed like a crescent moon.At this moment, Xie Xunwei really realized that the man who breathed the fire dragon at the street corner, the man who was arrested and chased after selling fake medicines was a real evil spirit.He kills like an animal.

"Go from the back mountain, don't be afraid, my ghost domain won't hurt you. Don't look back, and don't look at me." Baili Jueming's eyes gradually turned blood red, and he was showing the evil spirit's true form.While waving his knife, he said, "Remember, I was the one who coerced you, I was the one who lied to you, and I was the one who forced you to become my disciple. From now on, you must hate me, hate me, and despise me like everyone else. Me. You are a human, I am a ghost, you and I have different ways of life and death!"

Xie Xunwei knelt down slowly and kowtowed tremblingly.

"Let's go!" Baili Jueming hissed and slashed through the night.

Xie Xunwei turned around and ran back up the mountain, his skirt was torn to pieces by the bushes.Behind him, golden-red flames erupted, and all the sword light was engulfed by the flames.He didn't know what kind of spell his master had activated, he could only feel the heat wave behind him, as if it was going to burn his skin.

While crying, he ran down the mountain.The dark night is illuminated by the ubiquitous magma, as if the ground is covered with red blood.However, all the magma retreated from his feet, and all the steaming heat avoided his body. He knew that Master was protecting his steps.There seemed to be a pair of eyes looking at him from behind. He remembered the scriptures saying that if Huangquan is strong enough, evil spirits will be everywhere. He knew that it was the master watching his back.

Master, Master.He burst into tears.

There was a loud thunderous noise above his head, as if thunder had landed on the top of a mountain.Xie Xun turned his head suddenly, the clouds on the top of the mountain turned livid, mixed with blood-like bright red.There had just been an explosion there, and all the surrounding vegetation was blackened in flames.The enchantment of Huangquan was broken suddenly, and the torrential rain poured down like a sharp arrow through the crack.The line of sight that had been staring at him in the dark seemed to have disappeared, like a kite with a broken string.Xie Xunwei understands what this means, only when the evil spirits are punished, the ghost domain will be broken.

"Master!" Xie Xunwei shouted.

At that moment, my mind was blank, and my chest was in severe pain, as if my heart had been bloodied out.He didn't care about anything, he cried and climbed up the mountain with his hands and feet.The magma was extinguished, and the hot soil was washed by the rain, becoming sticky and clammy, and white gas came out everywhere. It was because the rainwater met the scorched earth and evaporated into a thick mist.

He finally returned to the top of the mountain. The monk's scorched limbs were scattered all over the place, and the broken sword was like a broken bone, obliquely inserted into the ground.The small wooden house where he and his master lived was in ruins, and the medicine garden they cultivated together was a piece of scorched earth.In the center was a scorched black figure, kneeling on the ground with a knife in his right hand.Xie Xunwei staggered over, knelt down, and tremblingly stroked the man's broken cheek.

Baili Cassia's technique burned the monk to death, and also destroyed himself.His pupils melted due to the high temperature, turning into two pitch-black eye holes.Half of his body had turned into black charcoal, and the raindrops fell on his hot body, whistling white smoke.

Baili Jueming moved his lips and let out a long sigh, "You child...why are you disobedient?"

"I won't go," Xie Xunwei hugged the unrecognizable monster, weeping uncontrollably, "I want to die with Master."

"Stupid boy, you don't have all your hair, you don't know how to live, what are you talking about?" Baili Jueming smiled, his scorched face was distorted and ugly, "Don't cry, you are 14 years old, why do you still love me so much?" Crying? Forget it, you are a baby girl, I will give you a few years of grace, and when you arrive, you will not be allowed to cry."

"I'm going to cry!" Xie Xunwei yelled.

"Remember to dig out the land deed, and remember to practice hard. If you don't practice hard, the teacher will spank your ass in your dreams." Baili Jueming laughed and stretched out his hand to push him, "They are coming up soon, let's go."

Xie Xun shook his head slightly, not letting go.

"Oh... you baby... why are you so dead-hearted?"

Xie Xunwei heard him sigh in his ear, and then his hand moved, Xie Xunwei suddenly felt wet on his legs.Xie Xun looked down in a daze, and saw Baili Jueming with a dagger stuck in his chest, and thick blood flowed through the knife slot, dripping down on his leg.

"why……"

He hadn't finished asking when Baili Jueming suddenly let out a roar, "Naughty beast, you actually killed the teacher with your own hands!"

The man pushed him away with a palm, and he fell out and fell into an embrace.Crowds of figures poured out from the sides like white doves, and the second batch of monks finally reached the top of the mountain.A heavy iron-like rain curtain lay between him and Baili Cassia. He saw someone kick Baili Cassia, and the damaged, scorched and thin figure fell straight down, splashing black water all over the ground.Xie Xun was weeping slightly, stretched out his hand weakly, grasping the dilapidated shadow in vain.

"Xie Xunwei killed his relatives righteously! The evil ghosts will kill them!"

"Hurry up, seal his soul and cut out his lotus heart!"

"Miss Xunwei, Miss Xunwei, how are you doing!"

Countless people shouted in his ears, and the chaotic and noisy voices filled his ears, but Xie Xunwei couldn't hear anything, he only saw the man fell to the ground in the cold rain, and the monk held his sharp sword and shattered his bloody chest.The man remained motionless, like a cast iron statue, stubbornly looking in his direction.Baili Cassia Ming's broken lips moved, as if he had said a few words.

In the longest silence of his life, he suddenly understood what Master said:

Disciple, there will be no future.

In March in Suzhou, it rained more often than usual.

Xie Xunwei woke up from the nightmare, hung up the bed curtain, put on his clothes, and sat in front of the mirror box.Looking through the moon hole window, there are fine white raindrops pouring on the blue tiles of the opposite eaves, pattering.He recalled the heavy rain eight years ago, the man fell into the muddy water, the ghost land dissipated little by little, and the scorched shadow got farther and farther away from him.He couldn't help but think of when he was a child, the master always took him to the street market at the foot of the mountain to earn money. The man said he would earn a dowry for him, so he made him stand under someone else's eaves, in a place where the sun was not shining, at his feet Draw a circle with a stone, tell him not to leave even one step, then go to the crossroads to make a scene, tilt his head, and blow out a big red fire dragon.

At that time, he squatted aside obediently, wondering why his master was so poor and so unreliable.The main purpose of the Taoist priest is obviously to catch ghosts, but his master uses magic techniques to perform fire breathing.Is he the only one in the world who is so unlucky to have a master who is poor, stupid and has a bad temper.

Only later did he know that his master was an evil ghost, but he was also the best master in the world.No one in this world goes to the street to blow fire dragons in order to save his dowry anymore.

He looked at the rain, quietly in a daze.

"Girl," a soft voice came from behind, and the big girl in front of my aunt stood outside the bead curtain, and said softly, "Madam said that the ghost plague in Kunshan has almost been wiped out, and there are still some little ghosts with low morals left. Sister and sister go to practice their hands, which can be regarded as a lot of experience. You are usually bored in the house, do you want to go together to relax?"

It was quiet inside, the girl was looking out, and suddenly saw the bead curtain rattling, the tall girl turned out from behind the curtain and stood in front of her.The girl looked at her and couldn't help being dumbfounded.No matter how many times I've seen it, I can't help but admire Xie Xunwei's appearance.

Ya Tou is familiar with this girl, among all the girls in the mansion, she is the prettiest, with a fair skin, like a carefully polished jade.She is always gentle and gentle, without saying a word. When she smiles, she reveals her neat and white teeth, like a quiet beaux-artemisia.She is not as coquettish and impatient as the eldest girl in the mansion, and she is not as high-spirited as other noble ladies. She always speaks softly, like the gentle rain in March in Gusu.If he really wanted to pick out a shortcoming, it would probably be that he was born too tall, and even the eldest son was barely on the same level as her.

Poor girl, the girl couldn't help thinking, with such a beautiful face, the whole family of Xie's family died suddenly, and she was kidnapped by evil spirits to become apprentices.She remembered the siege eight years ago, when all the immortals mobilized, Baochen Mountain was besieged for three days and three nights.It was Miss Xunwei who killed his relatives righteously, and took advantage of the evil spirit's unpreparedness to stab the dagger into his chest.

Good people don't get good rewards, and the girl is cursed, and she can't get married ever since.Perhaps because of the curse, the girl is in poor health and coughs up blood every now and then.He also has no talent in the way of swords. After wasting these eight years, he is only able to wield a sword.Without a family to rely on, and without the support of Taoism, she has a good face for nothing, and has become the common enemy of the ladies of the high family.She has had a very difficult life this past year, like a weed by the roadside, being bullied everywhere.Fortunately, the girl's aunt, the eldest lady of the Yu family, was merciful and accepted the lonely child, and said that she would marry the eldest son once the curse on her body was resolved.

The girl took pity on her, her eyes softened a little, and she said: "Girl, let's just treat it as a game, and the eldest son will go too."

"Okay," Xie Xun smiled, still with such a harmonious smile, so delicate and flawless, "Then I will have to take care of you, brothers and sisters."
