[Purple yarn] Deep spring flowers bloom by themselves

The author has something to say: I haven't filled it in for a long time, I'm a bit unfamiliar, I hope the feeling of the text can be continued.

On this day, it was rainy under the mountain. In the lobby of Fengdu Inn, several guests staying in the inn were gathering together, talking with the innkeeper about what happened on the mountain in the past few days.Only one person said in horror:

"At that time, the earth was really shaking! A lot of big rocks rolled down from above. I saw with my own eyes that Uncle Zhao, who was driving the mules in front, was hit by the rocks, and he became a meatloaf in the blink of an eye!"

"Isn't it?" Another person said: "Now, the ghosts are even more violent! I heard that many wild ghosts came down from the mountains. When I went to drink porridge yesterday, I heard that Aunt Wang who sells porridge said , Xiaohong, the daughter of her neighbor, suddenly fell ill with a strange disease two days ago, she was unconscious during the day, and at night, she took a kitchen knife and said that she wanted to seek revenge from a man named Zhang Liutiao, presumably possessed by an evil spirit! "

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and sighed: "Oh! I planned to close this store temporarily and go to a relative's house in Yuzhou to avoid disaster. Later, I heard from the matchmaker invited by my brother-in-law's neighbor's third uncle's house that her nephew was I am cultivating immortals on the mountain, I came down the mountain three days ago, and said that the Taoist priests on the mountain have eliminated the demons and collected the ghosts, and told the people in the town not to panic, that's why I..."

"Oh! If that's the case, why is that girl named Xiaohong still possessed by an evil spirit?"

"That's right..."

Several people sighed and shook their heads.At this time, a young man and a girl entered the door.The shoulders of both of them were lightly wet. The young girl had dark brows and dark eyes, but her face was haggard and pale. The man behind her was young but had frosty hair. The people in the store couldn't help but stop After talking about it, he looked at them curiously.

The girl wiped the rain off her face, stepped forward and asked, "Is the shopkeeper there?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly came forward, and the guests who were originally gathered together also took their seats and continued to eat and drink.

"Second guest officers, are you going to be top-notch, or staying in a hotel?"

"We want two upper rooms."

"Okay, okay, there are plenty in the upper room, please come with me, both of you."

Recently, the ups and downs of the mountains have been uneven, and the business of the inn has also become abnormally light. It is rare to see generous guests, and the shopkeeper is naturally extremely hospitable.

"Let's not talk about anything else here, but the scenery of Linjiang is unique in the ghost town! And Chef Li's specialty dish, spicy chicken in red oil, is much better than the ones sold at the food stalls outside! If you two are hungry, you might as well go downstairs to taste..."

While speaking, the three of them had already gone up the stairs.The shopkeeper led the way, and although the two people in the back walked very lightly, the wooden stairs eroded by moisture were making continuous babbling noises.

Ever since she stepped on the bluestone road in Fengdu, Han Lingsha felt uncomfortable.Fengdu is a ghost city connected to the ghost world. The residents here know better than people in other places the way to exorcise ghosts and prevent ghosts. Not only are Zhong Kui statues worshiped in every household, but the business of talisman paper shops is also very prosperous.Just now when she walked into the inn lobby, the celestial amulet on the door made her suffocated for a while, but now she looked up and saw the peach branches tied with red strings on the doors of the upper rooms, she couldn't help but wrinkled. frown.

"Shopkeeper, from my point of view, your inn is chilly and more cloudy than other places. I heard that this river is connected to the Wangchuan River, so you are not afraid of a ghost floating across the river in the middle of the night. Come to your inn to rest?"

Although she felt uncomfortable, she kept talking.Hearing what she said, the shopkeeper was both embarrassed and frightened, his face turned pale for a moment, so he could only mumble past:

"Auntie, what the girl said is true! No, but we have a magic talisman given by an expert here to ward off evil spirits. Those evil and evil ghosts dare not come in..."

Seeing that he was trembling all over, Han Lingsha smiled: "Yes, I also think that the talisman must be very effective. I think it's cooler here than other places, it's all because of the humidity on the river."

The shopkeeper nodded again and again: "It's moisture! It's moisture!"

The three of them came to the door of the room on the second floor, Han Lingsha took a look, then asked the people behind her: "Ziying, which room do you want to live in?"

Murong Ziying has been silent since she entered the inn, and now she heard her questioning, and said: "Let Miss Lu choose first." The words were extremely polite, as if they just met today In general, compared to when they were on Mount Shu, they were much more distant.Lingsha was puzzled for a moment, and was taken aback for a moment.

"...Then, I want this one." She pointed to the innermost room in Linjiang.

After the two had chosen the room, the shopkeeper had to gossip again before going downstairs.At this time, Murong Ziying said: "Miss Lu, you rest here to recover from your injuries, and I will go to the pharmacy next time."

"Hmm..." Lingsha nodded, watching him leave with some reluctance.But before he reached the stairs, she couldn't help but stop him.

"Ziying!"

"...What else is there?" Ziying turned around and saw that the girl seemed to have something to say, but she looked embarrassed, so she asked, "Is there any medicine you need? I can buy it together."

Ling Sha kept silent and didn't answer, her eyes wandered back and forth on the peach tree branches worryingly, although she was very reluctant to stay here alone in her heart, she couldn't express it in her mouth.While hesitating, she suddenly heard Ziying talking to herself: "Yes..."

After he finished speaking, he walked over, took off the twigs of peach wood inserted on her door, and put it aside.

"...Are you feeling unwell because of this thing?"

"Well," Lingsha smiled slightly, "Thank you, Ziying."

"It's just a little effort." Ziying said. "If there are other evil spirits in this room, you must tell—"

When he said this, he stopped abruptly, with a hint of distress appearing between his brows.Seeing this, Lingsha didn't bother to think about why he was like this, she smiled and waved her hands:

"Hey, I don't think there's anything special about this inn, so I don't want to spend money to paste talisman papers everywhere! Ziying, just relax!"

After Ziying heard the words, she stopped answering the conversation, and after a silent salute, she left.Lingsha stood alone in the corridor, looking at the mahogany branch that he had just taken aside, until her body gradually became unbearably cold, then she turned and entered the room.

>>>>><<<<

I don't know how long it took before the pattering cold rain slowly subsided.There is a pale crescent moon in the sky, spreading the fine halo on the street along the mountain.The lights of the houses and shops on both sides of the street have been extinguished, only the wet blue tiles and stone roads are still glowing with a light color of water, quietly echoing the rippling broad river surface.

As the night wind blows, the soft whimpering of the treetops merges with the sound of the distant river waves.Murong Ziying stood quietly under the old archway at the gate of the city, and what she could see was this lonely and cold scene.The girl who glared at him a hundred years ago in order to fulfill her wish had already gone to the other side of the river.From the capital of ghosts in the world to Huangquan in the underworld, even if Yin and Yang are separated, and life and death face each other, it is far from a bamboo boat.However, how many thoughts have not yet been conveyed to the other side, they melt into the turbid water of this river, and are pushed to flow to the vast sky regardless of day and night.

——What is wrong with being cautious in words and deeds?Does everyone have to have the same temperament as you?

He still remembered what he said to her that night outside the Valley of Thoughts.

He did have a lot of words that he could not utter, and now he is in this old place where everything is changed, and he still has nothing to say about what he thinks in his heart.It is not difficult for him to go to the ghost world, but if he really sees that person, what should he say, even he himself does not know.All he can do now is keep his promise.On the top of Huangshan Mountain, the green mound is still there. Over the years, he has always visited it regularly without interruption.

He stood there in a daze for a long time, until there were very faint footsteps approaching in the distance.He looked back, and saw a figure walking lightly towards this side under the night. Judging by his figure, it should be a woman.

He stood by the roadside, covered by the shadow of the tree, and the woman seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn't notice that there was anyone here.She got closer and closer, Ziying finally saw her face clearly under the faint moonlight, but it was the girl surnamed Lu.When she reached the fork in front of her, she turned right and headed for the pier by the river.Although Ziying was secretly surprised, she had no intention of spying on other people's affairs. She just thought of the recent changes in the Demon Locking Tower, and many ghosts fled to the foot of the mountain. It might be wrong for a girl to go out alone in the dead of night.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a flash of blue light over there, and a teleportation circle was activated on the pier.The girl stepped into the magic circle, and her figure instantly disappeared along with the magic circle.It looks like he went to the ghost world through the magic circle.

>>>>><<<<

Han Lingsha returned to the ghost world, first took the orbs of the Shushan school to pay the king of Hades, and then went to visit Yun Tianqing and Feng Yasong.She didn't come back for several days, and several ghosts got together and chatted for most of the night. She didn't return to the world until dawn.

She walked all the way up the river, and when she came around to the door of the inn, the waiter had just opened the door.The shopkeeper saw her coming in from the outside, but couldn't remember when she went out, so it was strange.She hadn't slept all night, and now she felt hungry and tired, so she asked the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat now?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The kitchen has boiled vegetable porridge early in the morning, as well as freshly steamed fresh meat buns and red oil dumplings. Miss, do you want to try all of them?"

Lingsha thought for a while, and was about to answer when a Taoist fortune teller came in from the door.I saw him wearing a tattered Taoist robe that was washed white, with a sword on his back, and a flag in his hand, with three big characters "Living Immortal" written on it.After he entered the door, he walked straight to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper saw him, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face:

"Oh, Daoist Qingxuan! Long time no see, don't come here without any problems!"

The Taoist smiled and made a bow with one hand: "Master Liu."

"Ah!" The shopkeeper sighed, his smiling face turned into a sad one in an instant. "You are finally here! You have to save us!"

The Taoist wondered, "Where did you start?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Don't you know? A few days ago, on this mountain——" He said, as if he wanted to tell the Taoist priest what had happened in recent days.

Lingsha was already hungry, just now she saw that he left her to greet the Taoist priest, she felt annoyed in her heart, now she saw that he was about to start a long speech, she became even more impatient, she stepped forward to interrupt the shopkeeper and said:

"Hey, shopkeeper, are you still doing this business?"

"Do, do! Girl, don't blame! Momomo, don't blame..." Seeing her face, the shopkeeper couldn't help but moved two inches to the Taoist priest, then turned back and stomped his feet to call the little girl: "Mazi! You want to feed the chicken?" Feed a flower?! Hurry up and let me die!"

Lingsha glanced sideways, seeing the Taoist sizing her up, feeling displeased: "What are you looking at!"

The Taoist stroked his beard: "The benefactor...forgive me for taking the liberty to ask where the benefactor came from and where she is going?"

Lingsha was startled, and said angrily, "What's none of your business?!"

The Taoist shook his head: "Meeting by chance is a fate, and the benefactor will listen to the advice of the poor. In this cycle of life and death, everything has a destiny. It's easy to ask for—”

"Shut up!" Before he finished speaking, Lingsha was already furious: "Smelly Taoist priest, what do you know! Do you know what is 'the fate of the next life' and 'the fruit of the previous life'—"

When she said this, she couldn't continue, and when she looked up, she found that Ziying had come to the stairs at some point, looking at them.I don't know how much he heard of the conversation between the few people just now.

She avoided his gaze, stood there for a moment, then turned around and left the inn gate.

>>>>><<<<

It was broad daylight now, and scattered smoke rose from both sides of the winding street in Fengdu, which added some vitality to the gloomy town.

Lingsha walked aimlessly along the street.Just now she just felt that her chest was squeezed by thousands of thoughts, and she looked at Ziying, but she didn't know what to say to him.Now, with the slight river breeze blowing, that uncomfortable feeling is dissipating bit by bit.But what was left in the end was an empty coolness.

She stopped and found herself back in front of the old archway.Although in the past hundred years, she has passed under this archway countless times and came to Fengdu, but what happened in the meantime is as vague and distant as a dream.Every time she could clearly recall the three of them standing here that day, she insisted that it was a very important wish.Tianhe shook his head desperately: "I won't do it!" Ziying said... "Okay, I'll go".

——Ha, then it's settled, and Xiao Ziying is the most sensible.

At that time, in order to part with her uncle, she couldn't stop crying like now.She raised her hand to wipe her face, but found it was useless, she simply ignored it, and started crying under the old archway.

I don't know how long it took before the sobbing gradually stopped.Occasionally someone passed by under the archway and looked at her with strange eyes, but they dared not approach her.She was crying so hard, she didn't care too much, thinking that her eyes must be red and swollen like peaches, and she had to go to the river to wash her face.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she found Ziying standing behind her.

He stood three steps away, with no worry or worry on his face, just looking at her quietly.

She felt the tears she had just held back fill her eyes again.Years have passed and the world has changed, but the most precious thing in Ziying remains unchanged.

She rubbed her eyes, stepped forward and smiled at him:

"I'm hungry. Let's go back to the inn."

Ziying nodded slightly.

——and Ziying was with her.she thinks.that's enough.
