The days when I was a ghost in Liaozhai

Chapter 35 A Chinese Ghost Story

When night fell, Montenegro was shrouded in a bluish mist.

A round of bright moon hangs high in the night sky, making it appear that the moon and stars are few and far between.On the Montenegro, there is a lake named Yuxi.On Yuxi Lake, a woman in a light-colored dress is boating on the lake with a bamboo pole.

She didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but she went boating for a while, but the boat was still in the middle of the lake and couldn't get back to the shore.

It’s weird.

She let out a "huh" and looked around, but there was no look of fear on her face.Seeing that she couldn't leave the center of the lake, she simply gave up, put the bamboo pole aside, and stood on the boat, facing the wind.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and a column of water rushed up from the calm lake, and then a young man smashed towards her in some embarrassment, "Help!"

The woman frowned as she looked at the boy who was throwing at her, and suddenly a figure flew across the lake, "Where is the evildoer, don't back down!"

The visitor was lying on her small boat, armed under the moonlight, with a sword on his back, tall and tall, standing against the wind, looking ready to go.The young man who was shouting "Help" just now was confused by the sudden change, and suddenly forgot all his magic power, and fell into the lake with a "boom".

Xia Anqian: "..."

I've seen a cowardly demon, but I haven't seen one so timid that it's almost useless. It's really embarrassing for her.

At this time, the people on the boat turned around and looked at Xia Anqian.He looked obviously a little surprised, and then covered it up, and cupped his fists at Xia Anqian: "Girl, are you surprised?"

Xia An looked at him with wide open eyes, and suddenly she smiled, but her eyes didn't fall on him.

The young man was stunned, suddenly felt something was wrong, turned around quickly, there was no wind and waves on the calm lake, and there was a big wave, and the one who stepped on the waves came a little fleshy ball that looked like three or two years old?

What the hell!

The young man cursed secretly, feeling that his actions just now were superfluous.He should have thought a long time ago, if it was an ordinary person, how could he still be here in Yuxi Lake in the dark.But when it comes to this matter, he can’t blame him, but there are too many monsters on the Black Mountain. Where there are many monsters, the monsters will use them indiscriminately. He once heard from his senior brother that many people were rafting on the lake, but they were killed by the monsters. Trapped in it and unable to leave, he ended up freezing to death or starving to death on the lake. What's more, he was sucked away by some monsters, so he could only wander here as a lonely ghost, waiting for the breath on his body to die. When it's all gone, the soul flies away.

Xiao Routuan, who came riding the waves, saw a young man on Xia Anqian's boat, stared at him, and with an "Aww", his whole body rose into the air, and the huge waves rushed over. It was supposed to be overturned by the huge waves, but the strange thing was that the boat was as stable as a rock, and Xia Anqian on the boat didn't get any moisture on his body, but the young man was drenched all over.

youth:"……"

Really good intentions were struck by lightning.

Seeing the speechless and annoyed look on the young man's face, Xia Anqian couldn't hold back, and let out a "puchi" laugh.

Hearing her laughter, the young man turned his head and gave her an annoyed look.

Xia Anqian felt that she didn't seem very authentic. How could she do this if others showed good intentions?So, she restrained the smile on her face, but the smile was still hidden in her eyes.At this time, the little guy who came riding the waves just somersaulted from the air and landed on Xia Anqian's side.

"An Feng, look, you have caused trouble again." The woman's voice was cold, but it sounded very pleasant.

The young man was a little surprised. At this time, another head appeared on the lake, "An Qian, who is this guy? He scared me to death just now, and he wanted to chop me with a sword!"

The young man became more and more confused by these people. He thought this girl was just an ordinary woman trapped on the lake. At first glance, she looked like an ordinary young demon. Although she didn't have the slightest demonic aura and didn't even make him feel aura, she was definitely not an ordinary person.

He felt a little useless in his heart, but he probably thought about it, and felt that the young monster on the lake was nothing to fear, but he probably couldn't beat the little guy named An Feng next to this woman.So even if you are useless in your heart, you can't beat it, so what can you do?

The young man frowned, turned and left the lake.

Seeing this, Xia Anqian blinked, and suddenly a white silk flew out of his sleeve to wrap around his feet, "Hey, don't go."

The young man rose up in the air, and was suddenly pulled by someone. His heart was already on fire. After being teased like this, the sword on his back came out of its sheath with a sound of "clang". The white silk had been torn in two.

Seeing this, An Feng's whole body also rose into the air, and flew to the young man. He probably knew that Xia Anqian had no malice towards this man, and he didn't mean to fight him, but rushed to the man, as if looking at something Looking at him like something.

The young man was stunned for a moment by the opponent's unreasonable tricks, just for a moment, the little guy in front of him showed a cute smile, and then kicked the young man back mercilessly. on the boat.

The young man looked a little embarrassed, Xia Anqian looked at his appearance, and looked at him with his head, "Are you all right?"

The young man probably felt that he couldn't beat him, and he didn't know what this group of people was going to do, so he just settled down when he came, and lay flat on the boat with his whole body stretched out, annoyed: "I can't die."

Xia Anqian: "What's your name?"

Youth: "Why should I tell you?"

Xia Anqian: "I'm really sorry just now, my brother is still young and his mind is not yet open. He thought you were on my boat and wanted to bully me, that's why he did that."

The young man didn't say a word.

Xia Anqian said again: "A few of us passed by here, and felt that this place... well, it seems to be very lively, and the scenery on the mountain is very nice. I haven't gone boating for a long time, so I went boating here on a whim, but I was trapped in the middle of the lake. , I can’t get back to shore.”

The young man sat up cross-legged, holding a sword in his hand, and gave Xia An a shallow look.

"You must have been trapped in the middle of the lake by the magic of the thousand-year-old tree demon. If you can get back to the shore, I will call you Patriarch."

Xia An glanced at him shallowly, "Although I won't be able to return to the shore for a while, there is always a way to return to the shore. But I don't care about being your patriarch."

The young man deeply felt that his enthusiasm at the beginning was a mistake, and he was very angry, but he couldn't beat others, so he still had to keep smiling.

Xia Anqian bent down and looked at him at the same level.The young man has a pair of divine eyes, very clear, he should be a person with no distracting thoughts.When he met her gaze, he didn't look away.

Xia An's shallow eyes slightly curved, "Are you a demon catcher?"

The young man was taken aback, can you tell?

Xia Anqian: "Under the Montenegro, there is a Heishan Village with simple and honest folk customs. I heard from the elders in the village that Montenegro is only blessed by the mountain god, so although the rivers under the mountain have dried up, Montenegro is still a thriving spring. The village head said that a few middle-aged men in the village went up the mountain and wanted to get water down the mountain, but they never went back after they went up the mountain. The villagers thought it was because they went up the mountain rashly and displeased the mountain god. "

The young man looked at Xia Anqian, he didn't know what the origin of the other party was, Xia Anqian looked like an ordinary mortal.When he also knows that people who look no different from ordinary mortals are either real ordinary people or powerful enough to hide their aura from others.He felt that Xia Anqian might be the latter.

Xia Anqian continued: "But I look at this Black Mountain, which is full of monsters. It would be strange if there is a mountain god."

The young man was silent and asked, "Then what are you doing up the mountain? Catching demons?"

Xia An shook his head shallowly, "I just want to see what kind of monster is so powerful that it can suck all the vitality from under the Black Mountain to the Black Mountain."

youth:"……"

And he felt that he might have misunderstood. If Xia Anqian was really powerful, how could he be trapped in the middle of the lake by the tree demon's little magic trick.But her younger brother is really amazing.But she also said that her younger brother's mind is not yet open, no matter how powerful he is, he is probably no match for the treacherous and cunning thousand-year-old tree demon.Not to mention the young demon who was only posing on the lake.

The young man said with a stern face, "Since you didn't come to help, don't come to make trouble!"

Xia Anqian looked at the young man's appearance and laughed.The young man looked about 20 years old, with bright eyes, tall stature, and heroic brows. He was a guy with youthful vigor, which made people feel good about him.

She is the most experienced in dealing with this kind of young man.

She completely ignored the dark complexion of the other party, and smiled at him, "My name is Xia Anqian, what about you? What's your name?"

The young man thought that what he did just now would definitely make the other party angry, but even though he knew she didn't take it seriously, it made him feel like he didn't know which direction to use his strength.Moreover, the other party is still so amiable... If he keeps a straight face, it seems that he can't justify it.

The young man touched his face, and weakly exchanged courtesy with Xia An, "Yan Chixia."

"Yan Chixia." Xia Anqian muttered his name, and then smiled at him, "We want to stay overnight in Heishan. I heard that there is a Lanruo Temple on the mountain. Does Young Hero Yan know?"

When Yan Chixia heard Xia Anqian's words, her face darkened again.

How can you not know?

Lanruo Temple is where he lives now!

The bright moon is in the sky, and everything is quiet.

On an old tree in front of Lanruo Temple, a flock of crows flew up for some unknown reason, almost covering the entire night sky.A gloomy and cold air rushed towards his face.

Xia Anqian stood under the steps, looking up at the century-old temple on the top of the mountain.

The carp spirit who had been following her looked around, feeling a little nervous, "An Qian, do we really want to spend the night here?"

Xia Anqian looked around and nodded casually, "Well, what? Are you afraid?"

Jin Feng was very scared in his heart, but seeing Xia Anqian's understatement, he felt that he seemed very useless to show timidity, so he shook his head with tears in his eyes, "I'm not afraid."

Xia Anqian looked back at him, smiled, "It's okay, let An Feng accompany you tonight."

An Feng was still tugging at Xia Anqian's sleeves, he obviously didn't know what Xia Anqian was talking to Jin Feng, because there were many ghosts and ghosts on the Black Mountain, he was very excited when he was close to the Black Mountain, and seemed to be impatient to think about it. It's going to be a mess here.He looked at the crows that were flying up and almost covering the moon, he let out an "ahha" and flew up, and the whole person rushed into the crowd of crows, messing up the group of crows, and finally "ahhh "A few times, only a few black feathers fell down.

Still not finished, he emerged from the hundred-year-old tree and looked at the people below.

Yan Chixia was amazed, and asked Xia Anqian: "Is it okay if your brother is making such a fuss?"

Xia An smiled lightly, lowered her head and picked up the hem of her skirt to climb up the steps, her tone was very natural: "Of course it doesn't matter." Whoever dares to say that it matters, let An Feng swallow him!

It was only then that Yan Chixia noticed that the woman in front of her was wearing rather elegant light-colored clothes. At first glance, the color of the clothes was light blue.But if you pay more attention, you will find that the light blue color also has layers, and there are low-key patterns on the skirt.She climbed up the steps, and the skirt left a trail on the steps, which outlined her figure gracefully and slender.No matter how you look at it, this attire is not something a woman who can fight would wear, let alone a shawl on her body, which hangs down from her arms and winds down the steps.

Flashy.

Yan Chixia frowned, and came to a conclusion in her heart.He felt that Xia Anqian's audacity to come to Montenegro was because her brother was a little monster who was good at fighting.As for herself, she probably doesn't have much skill.

The thousand-year-old temple, when Xia Anqian stepped into the gate of Lanruo Temple, her heart trembled slightly.

In the ancient temple, the Bodhisattva with benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes is high above, under the lotus seat, there is no smoke in the incense burner.

It is often said that Buddhism is a pure place, probably without any filth.But this is not the case, and the Buddha's voice is not everywhere in the mortal world, and it does not mean that whatever is enshrined, there will be something.This ancient temple has been abandoned for a long time, and now it is spring again. The wooden Bodhisattva statues are probably rotten due to damp, and mushrooms have grown on their bodies.

Seeing the mushrooms, the carp spirit was amazed: "Wow, the Bodhisattva has appeared, and mushrooms have grown on his body."

Yan Chixia looked at Li Yujing quite speechlessly, wanting to say something, but held back.He tossed all night, exhausted physically and mentally, and didn't want to say anything more to these people.

"I live in the wing on the west side, please do as you please."

Xia An looked around and nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Yan Chixia said again: "If you hear something at night, don't come out."

Xia Anqian then turned her head and looked at the young man, "Are you worried that we will be captured by the tree demon?"

Yan Chixia: "Hey, who is worried about you, I'm afraid you're making me sleep!"

Xia Anqian said "Oh" and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I won't bother you to sleep. You go, we will take care of ourselves."

Yan Chixia looked at Xia Anqian, who had become a customer, and fell silent, feeling that she was so full and worried.After spurning himself a few times, he turned around and left the main hall without hesitation.

Xia Anqian took An Feng's hand, looked around, and then slowly walked east.Yan Chixia lives in the West Wing, so she should live in the East Wing, so that they can enjoy peace and quiet without disturbing each other.However, when he turned to leave, he heard someone whispering.

"Sister, look, you stinky Taoist actually brought a woman to Lanruo Temple."

"Who is that woman? I think she is ordinary and nothing special, but she looks pretty. It's better to kill her and present her soul to grandma. In this way, we don't have to be so tired .”

"Don't talk nonsense, didn't you see that her younger brother was full of aura just now? Maybe he is a powerful person, so don't act rashly."

"..."

Still want to kill her?

Xia An's beautiful eyebrows were raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. He really wanted to know how much these two female ghosts weighed.She remained calm, as if she hadn't heard anything.

The carp spirit following her looked around. Unlike Xia Anqian, he was born as a ghost, and he couldn't hear the ghost whispers. He only felt chills hitting him one after another, and he also felt A powerful demon power enveloped Lanruo Temple, making his legs weak.When the weak meet the strong, if the strong's aura is not restrained, they will inevitably be forced towards the weak with heavy pressure. The carp spirit felt that he was being crushed by that powerful demon force and his heart trembled.

At this time, Xia Anqian had already arrived in the east chamber.

The East Wing has not been inhabited for a long time, and a musty smell comes out.Xia An lightly frowned, raised his wide sleeves, and all the windows on all sides were opened. The wind poured in through the windows, and a veil of light veil also blew into the windows.

Xia Anqian blinked, "There is still Qingsha in this place?"

She walked over and saw a gazebo outside the east window.The pavilion is surrounded by lavender gauze. The gauze moves with the wind, sometimes falls and sometimes rises. A guqin can be vaguely seen in the pavilion.And there is a couch next to the guqin, and there seems to be someone on the couch.

Jinfeng was made trembling by the powerful monster power, so he had to try his best to divert his attention, so he pointed to the gazebo, "An Qian, there seems to be someone there."

Xia Anqian blew over slowly in one breath, blowing away all the veils on the gazebo.When Jinfeng saw the person on the couch, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground with a "boom".

There was indeed a person on the couch, but that person was sitting on the couch, his posture seemed to be hugging something, the clothes on his body fell to his waist, the whole person was completely lifeless, and when he looked carefully, he found that the person was just It is a layer of skin wrapped around the body, like a dried body.Xia Anqian blinked, raised her hand, and the window was closed.

Jinfeng: "That's a man."

Xia Anqian: "Yes."

Jin Feng: "He died after being sucked dry."

Xia Anqian: "Well, what then?"

Then what?Jinfeng was silent, and suddenly said with a mournful face: "Then I suddenly missed Lord Ghost Envoy very much. This person must have been killed by the female ghosts in Lanruo Temple. They disturbed reincarnation, and Lord Ghost Envoy did not come to arrest them. Are you going to Hades?"

Xia An took a shallow look at Jinfeng. She actually didn't know what happened to Jinfeng. It has been 100 years since she left Baishuihe. In the past 100 years, neither the carp has grown in cultivation, nor the carp has grown in courage. It is just a matter of age.Xia Anqian felt a little tired, Jin Feng was already 500 years old, a demon is different from a god, I heard that a demon has a small catastrophe in 500 years, and a great catastrophe in a thousand years, Jin Feng is like this, when he is in the [-]-year minor catastrophe What should I do?

Xia Anqian stretched out his hand to touch Jin Feng's head, and comforted him somewhat perfunctorily: "The world has not been peaceful in the past hundred years. There are monsters everywhere, and the ghosts make you busy with all kinds of affairs. Maybe Lanruo Temple is here. The tree demons and ghosts are not so noisy, and the underworld has no time to take care of them."

When Jinfeng mentioned this, he suddenly felt less scared, "That's not what I said. When we were in Baishuihe, I often came to see Anfeng when I saw Lord Ghost Messenger. Why don't you come now? ?” He said while wringing his fingers, and said, “An Qian, speaking of it, we haven’t seen Lord Ghost Messenger for 100 years.”

100 years?

One year on earth, one day in Hades.

A hundred years in the world is but a few days in a hurry for the underworld in the sky.

Moreover, Xia Anqian turned her head and thought for a while, Hei Wuchang did not act according to common sense, as if she had never figured out why Hei Wuchang appeared at the last moment in Ganjia Town and took her from her heart. Pulled out of the devil.Xia Anqian lowered her eyes, and suddenly a yellowed book appeared in her empty hand. Xia Anqian could read the words on this book, but neither Anfeng nor Jinfeng could.

That book was thrown to her by Hei Wuchang when he was about to leave.

The man didn't say anything, just dropped one sentence——

"If you keep this book, how much you can learn depends on fate."

Xia Anqian took the book over and was speechless immediately. It really was all due to fate, because the book at that time was a wordless book.At that time, she wanted to grab Hei Wuchang and ask him what it meant to give her such an old and torn wordless book?Are you kidding her? !

She gritted her teeth in anger, and wanted to throw away the wordless book. She was about to leave the book, but she didn't throw it out at the last moment.

A book without words is a book without words.

She rubbed her forehead, silently recited the heart-purifying mantra several times, so as not to keep thinking of killing Lord Ghost Messenger, and then put away the wordless book.Then, one night a year later, when she had nothing to do to flip through the books, she also took out the wordless book to bask in the moonlight.That wordless heavenly book was fine if it wasn't posted, and two lines of words were posted as soon as it was posted.

At that time, Xia Anqian thought she was dazzled.

Later, a few lines of words would pop up in the wordless book, and now she can read two-thirds of the content.

By now, Xia Anqian probably knew that the book was mainly about practicing water spells and some illusions. 100 years have passed, and she doesn't know where she has reached in her practice, but she can already transform into Bai Xue effortlessly.
