The author has something to say: Xie Xunwei uses "he" when writing from Xie Xunwei's perspective, and uses "she" when writing Xie Xunwei from the perspective of others, you should be able to understand it (o゜▽゜)o☆

This town looks very poor, the dirt roads are covered with wormwood, and most of the fences and walls have collapsed, revealing the gloomy tile-roofed thatched houses behind.They knocked on several doors, but no one answered, and every house locked their doors tightly, and no one answered.Yu Fuchun said: "Qin Shaoxia, we tried it a long time ago, and the mountain people refused to come out. People here seem to be particularly afraid of strangers."

"How do you know that someone lives there?" Baili Jueming asked.

"Doors are locked from the inside, so naturally they are not locked from the outside."

"I mean," Baili Jueming laughed, "how do you know there are people living there? Of course you don't go out in broad daylight because you're afraid of the sun."

Everyone's face changed, that's right, how can there be strangers living in the haunted domain of evil spirits?Some people's legs went limp and they trembled like quails.Seeing Baili Jueming, he was speechless for a while again, and spent a long time talking with the gang of hairy kids before finally recognizing him.The fat brother and sister belong to the Yu family in Gusu, the sprained rabbit is their cousin, and the two tall and thin boys are descendants of the Yuan family in Liujun. Baili Jueming can't remember their names, so let's call them Yuan Da and Yuan Er. There is also a short man with slender eyebrows and narrow eyes, from the Jiang family in Yue County, named Jiang Xian, but Baili Jueming prefers to call him Shorty Jiang.

These high-school children usually snuggle up in their mother's arms, they only know how to make their clothes smell good, and smear their skin with fat and powder, and they can't even hold their swords steadily.Before I saw a ghost, I was already scared out of my wits.In contrast, the two girls' families were rather courageous, even though they were both pale.

That's all, anyway, there are a few lively lives, so take them with you.Baili Cassia was helpless.

Yuan Da asked: "Then what should we do now? Where shall we settle down?"

"There is an inn in front." The crippled little rabbit said softly, "Maybe there is a vacant room."

In this corner of the mountain village, there are no outsiders except for a few unlucky ones, and most of the inns are empty.Baili Jueming nodded, looked at the inn and walked over.Everyone followed closely behind, never leaving each step, wishing they could stick to Baili Jueming.

The door of the inn was also bolted, and Baili Jueming kicked it open.Everyone followed his heels into the house, and the dust was so choking that he coughed.In the dark living room, a few sets of tables and chairs can be vaguely seen under the dim light, which is very shabby.There is a painted statue of a deity directly opposite. It is weird to smile or not.Can Zhu's tears flowed all over the table, at first glance he thought it was blood.A copper gong is placed on the altar, which is rusted.

Yu Tingqiu lit a fire in the firepit, the rabbit girl sat at the table and bent down to rub her ankles, the last two people who came in closed the door.As soon as the door was pushed open, someone screamed and crawled to Baili Jueming with all hands and feet.

"There's a ghost!" Jiang Xian roared.

Everyone was shocked, and the long swords were unsheathed one after another.Baili Jueming looked back, and saw a row of corpses standing upright behind the door panel. All the zombies had pale cheeks, and wore straw cone hats with a yellow talisman hanging from the brim of the hat.Baili Jueming let out a laugh, and said, "It's a good place, this is the corpse inn."

"Dead Corpse Inn?" Jiang Xian stared wide-eyed, "All the corpses living here?"

"No," the rabbit girl reassured him, "this is the place where the morticians settled down. The people in the mountains were poor, working in other places, and died in a foreign land. Relatives asked the morticians to take them back to their hometown. The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk in rain. Then there is a special place for them to spend the night and play at the top, which is called the dead body inn."

The girl's voice sounded like a gentle breeze, it was soothing to listen to, and everyone gradually settled down.Yu Tingqiu said with a green face: "Are we really going to sleep with these zombies tonight?"

"Nonsense," Baili Jueming said angrily, "Or do I expect you to guard the gate?"

He picked up the broken gong on the altar table and struck it with a stick. All the zombies suddenly raised their heads, opened their cloudy eyes, and raised their withered arms like hemp sticks.Yuan Er boldly took the sword and shook it in front of the zombie. The zombie was like a puppet, standing still.

Yu Fuchun said: "Qin Shaoxia is indeed a master, he can even drive away corpses."

The rabbit girl smiled and explained: "It's the gong of the mortician, and the walking corpses returning home listen to its orders. They are not resentful walking corpses, they are obedient. If my cousin knocks the gong, they will be obedient of."

Everyone praised her for her knowledge and surrounded her happily.Yu Tingqiu seemed particularly displeased with this girl, and snorted, "Show off."

The rabbit girl was startled, she lowered her head and stopped talking.

Baili Jue opened the door and knocked on the gong again. All the walking corpses turned around in an orderly manner and jumped out of the threshold one by one like grasshoppers.The two Yuan brothers quickly closed the door and locked it.Baili Jueming stretched out, lay down on the counter and took a nap.The young people couldn't sleep, and they talked in low voices around the firepit.

"The morality of evil ghosts is closely related to their cultivation in life. Logically speaking, even if there are evil ghosts with high morals in this valley, they have been cleaned up by our uncles and elders. How can there be fish that slip through the net? This will hurt us It's gone." Yuan Da sighed, "My newly married concubine is still waiting for me at home."

"I've grown up, but I've never seen an evil ghost that can form a ghost domain." Jiang Xian said, "I heard that the largest ghost domain so far is the ghost domain of Baili Jueming in Baochen Mountain. It turned into a lava hell, with a radius of [-] mu, and the fields of the people under the mountain were all turned into a sea of ​​flames. My second uncle participated in the siege at that time, and his leg was burned by the magma ejected from the ground. Now Baochen Mountain is still a piece of scorched earth , not a single blade of grass grows."

It was so noisy, Baili Jueming turned around irritably, and slept with his face covered.

"That's wrong. The biggest ghost land is not Baochen Mountain." Yuan Er added charcoal to the fire pond. , never to return. Her prince, Evil Boy, had a battle with Grandmaster Wudu and was sealed by Grandmaster. So far, no one knows where Grandmaster sealed him. This ghost boy looks naive. I'm a young boy, but he's a big evil ghost on the side of Megatron, I don't know what the scene of the evil boy's haunted area is like."

Speaking of Wudu, everyone was a little silent for a while.He was originally the only great master in the world, and he was the head teacher of Baochen Mountain. He sealed countless evil spirits and rescued tens of thousands of undead.The most famous one is the battle 300 years ago, when he sealed the ghost country prince Evil Boy and Evil Boy with Ghost Sword Nine Deaths.It is said that one person and one ghost were beaten into darkness, and the sun and the moon were dark.Interestingly, after the evil boy was sealed, he was regarded as a door god by the common people.Everywhere you walk on the street, you can see a red-haired boy with three heads and six arms sticking to the door panel, wielding a ghost knife, and glaring.The common people believe that to exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts, it is natural to use the most evil ghosts, the fiercest sha, to scare away those little ghosts who have nowhere to reincarnate.

However, who would have thought that Wudu would be able to hide his junior brother, and let this ghost be the elder of the elixir for 50 years, admired by the immortal sect, and worshiped by hundreds of families.It's just that Wudu had already passed away 14 years ago, and he was dead, and there was nowhere to pursue his faults.

"Hmph, these ghosts and monsters will sooner or later betray their relatives." Yu Tingqiu glanced at the silent girl beside him, and sneered, "Xie Xunwei, wasn't your ghost master killed by your own hands back then?"

Baili Jueming suddenly opened his eyes.

"Second sister, don't mention the sad things about my cousin." Yu Fuchun complained, "My cousin was bullied by Baili Jueming for so long back then."

"Yes, she is bullied everywhere, look at her pitiful appearance, it makes you guys feel bad!" Yu Tingqiu raised her voice.

Xie Xunwei hugged his knees silently, without saying a word.Suddenly, a shadow fell over his head, Xie Xun raised his head slightly, and saw Baili Jueming standing in front of him.The tall man frowned, bent over, and stared straight at her, Xie Xunwei was a little dazed.

"Are you Xie Xunwei?" Baili Jueming raised his brows high, "Xie Xunwei, an orphan daughter of the Xie clan in Wuzhong and a disciple of Baili Jueming?"

"...It's me." Xie Xunwei replied hesitantly.

Baili Jueming couldn't believe it, how could his apprentice be like this?This is more than 01:30 from his imaginary calling the wind and calling the rain.I have never looked at this girl before, but now I look at it carefully, she has long eyebrows like distant mountains, black and white eyes, the fire is dancing in her eyes, and she has her own heavy beauty.

If Xun Wei grows up, he should look like this.

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Tingqiu asked.

"It's nothing..." Baili Jueming had a complicated expression, and when he recovered, he realized that everyone was looking at him with suspicion in their eyes.No, we can't let these idiots find out his relationship with Xun Wei.He coughed in embarrassment, and said, "It's just that I've heard that Xie Jiaxun is as beautiful as a fairy for a long time, but now I see..."

Qin Qiuming has always been known for his eyes above his head, and when he said this, everyone thought he was going to make a sarcastic statement.There are also rivers and lakes between her daughter's family. Since Xie Xunwei came to Yu's house, Yu Tingqiu has been overwhelmed by her beauty everywhere. Now someone finally looks down on Xie Xunwei. But that's all, right?"

Baili Jueming glanced at her and said, "Seeing her now, she's so damn pretty."

Yu Tingqiu choked on his chest with a bad breath, and almost choked to death.

After finishing speaking, Baili Jueming lowered his head inadvertently, but saw Xie Xunwei looking up at him with a smile on his eyes and brows.She smiled like this, as if the world was brightened.This girl is indeed so well-behaved that even Baili Jueming was stunned for a moment, and when she turned her head to look, the men around her looked dumbfounded, all of them looked like dumbfounded.These pigs and dogs are coveting his apprentice's beauty, Baili Jueming can't wait to give everyone a big ear.

Just as he was about to bring Xie Xunwei out to speak, a woman's cry suddenly sounded from the street outside.The cry was louder and smaller, and it was so cold that it made people's necks feel cold.

"Someone is crying, did he see a ghost!" Yuan Er stood up stunned, "We have to save people!"

"Help me, ghosts are crying and howling in the middle of the night, she is a ghost!" Baili Jueming waved his hand, the fire pit went out, and the living room fell into darkness.He whispered: "Shut up!"

No one dared to speak, they pricked up their ears to hear the cry.The cry was getting closer and closer, and it was coming in their direction.In addition to the crying, there was the sound of heavy objects dragging on the ground. It seemed that the female ghost was dragging something close.That kind of sound is always reminiscent of bad things, for example - corpses.

The crying came to the door and stopped abruptly.They heard a tug up the stone steps, followed by the shrill howl of the zombie gatekeeper.Everyone froze and pressed their swords silently.

The howling of the zombies became weaker and weaker, Baili Jueming said secretly, and said in a low voice: "This female ghost is a bit smart, hurry up, find a place to hide, and don't show her body."

Everyone moved quietly, looking for a place to hide.The two brothers of the Yuan family covered themselves with bamboo baskets, Yu Fuchun quietly climbed up to the beam of the house, just as he climbed up the beam, he suddenly saw a pair of feet hanging in the air in the darkness.With a fright in his heart, he almost cried out, tremblingly raised his head, and saw a haggard hanging corpse staring straight at him.Yu Fuchun cautiously waved his hand in front of the dead body, and he breathed a sigh of relief when it didn't move.

Xie Xunwei also wanted to hide, but someone grabbed his wrist suddenly, he followed that person and hid behind the counter without saying a word.

As soon as he squatted down, the door panel was hit hard.Xie Xunwei looked out from the gap in the wooden boards of the counter, and saw a hole the size of a bowl in the front door of the zombie, and a miserable white arm was withdrawing from there.There was a dark shadow moving outside, obviously it was the female ghost.It was quiet all around, and the female ghost made no further movements.Are you leaving?Some people couldn't hold back and wanted to poke their heads out.However, remembering that Qin Qiuming hadn't moved, he endured it and remained silent.

Only Xie Xunwei knew that the ghost did not leave.His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he saw an eye with only the white of the eye outside the hole, staring eerily at the living room.

The people around him patted him on the shoulder, he turned his face and saw the face of Baili Jueming.

The two of them were so close that they could hear their breathing.

"Are you afraid?" Baili Jueming asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.

He lowered his eyes and nodded.

This girl was really abandoned by the immortal sect. Baili Jueming hated iron but steel. Her master is a ghost, or an evil ghost among evil ghosts. She is afraid of a fart!Forget it, who made her his apprentice?Baili Jueming handed her his hand irritably.

Xie Xun tilted his head slightly, his face full of doubts.

"Hold your sleeves," Baili Jueming said angrily, looking away, "You won't be afraid if you hold your sleeves."

Xie Xun was stunned for a moment, looking at Baili Jueming's extended hand, after a while, he carefully held onto his sleeve.

"Well, I'm not afraid anymore." She smiled brightly.
