The days when I was a ghost in Liaozhai

Chapter 43 A Chinese Ghost Story

When Xia Anqian woke up, the sun was setting.The name of Montenegro is not very pleasant, but the evening scenery on the mountain is very charming. She sat up on the soft couch with the quilt in her arms, and the flowers and plants outside the window were shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. Fluttering happily.

It seemed that she hadn't had such a solid sleep for a long time, and the moment she woke up, she still didn't know where she was.It took her a while to realize it, but the room was too quiet, and she couldn't hear any other sounds except the sound of water and birdsong.As the sun goes down, there are many spiritual bodies on the black mountain. At this moment, the kung fu should have already started to come out and move. How can it be so quiet?

Xia Anqian slowly walked out of the east chamber, and just after stepping out of the gate, she felt all kinds of strange auras in the mountains, and... a strong wind squatted in front of the gate of the east chamber with great aggrievedness.

Xia Anqian was stunned, staring at Li Yujing.

The carp spirit was aggrieved and angry, "An Qian, you are too much, you sleep on your own, and you even set up a barrier, how can I get in?"

Xia Anqian: "Did I set up a barrier?" She thought for a while, then asked: "How long have I been asleep?"

"You've been sleeping for ten days!"

Xia Anqian was taken aback, she had slept for so long?She reflexively thought of Nie Xiaoqian who was arrested by her, "Where are Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian?"

The carp spirit nodded her chin in the direction of the pavilion, "Hey, it's over there. That naughty tree demon has been making a lot of noise these days, yet you can still sleep."

The tree demon didn't see Nie Xiaoqian go back, so he knew that Yan Chixia must be among them. He fought with Yan Chixia every night, and Yan Chixia probably knew how much she weighed. In the gazebo, no matter how the tree demon used aggressive methods, he would not be moved.

Xia Anqian thought that after arresting Nie Xiaoqian, she actually went to sleep, and she felt a little guilty for sleeping for ten days, so she walked over silently. Yan Chixia was holding two dark circles under her eyes, waiting The appearance of following her to settle accounts.

Xia Anqian made a mistake first, and he didn't want to sue the wicked first, so he lowered his posture first: "I'll discuss with you how to kill the tree demon right away."

Yan Chixia said blankly, "No need."

Nie Xiaoqian, who had been trapped in the gazebo for ten days, also looked at Xia Anqian with a very sad look. Fortunately, she thought that Xia Anqian took her as a lonely ghost seriously, but who knew that it was her Passionate!

Xia Anqian also probably felt that she was a little out of tune in what she did this time, no wonder Yan Chixia didn't look good towards her.Fortunately, the dryad's seal has not been released. If it is released, let alone one Yan Chixia, maybe ten Yan Chixias are not enough to slap the dryad to death.

Speaking of the tree demon, she remembered a very important thing, "Where's An Feng?"

Yan Chixia continued to keep a straight face, "I haven't seen it before."

Jin Feng, who was following Xia Anqian, said quickly: "Master Ghost Messenger said that you have consumed too much spiritual power and you need to sleep for several days before you wake up. He is afraid that An Feng will make a fuss and turn this place upside down and it will be difficult to clean up, so Bring An Feng back to Hades."

Master Ghost Messenger?

Both Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian were stunned.Although Xia Anqian said before that she had some friendship with the Lord Ghost Envoy of the Underworld, Yan Chixia only took her to be talking nonsense, but now listening to the carp spirit behind her, it turned out to be true?

Xia Anqian was also taken aback for a moment, is it possible to enter and leave the Underworld at will?Why can Hei Wuchang take An Feng to Hades?

When the few people were thinking about their own thoughts, a majestic male voice sounded, "I am ordered by Lord Yan to come and exterminate the tree demon that disturbs the cycle of heaven and earth."

Xia Anqian and others heard the sound and looked over. A man in a black robe was standing a few meters away from the pavilion. He was wearing a steel knife at his waist, and his facial features were tough. However, the little doll sitting on his shoulder with a halazi hanging around his mouth destroyed his calm and powerful aura, and even made people feel a little funny.

Xia Anqian: "..."

Hei Wuchang and An Feng's very silly looks made her speechless for a moment.

Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian looked at Hei Wuchang, and the ghost messenger from the underworld lifted Xiao Anfeng from his shoulders, and Anfeng ran towards Xia Anqian as soon as his feet hit the ground.He first looked up at Xia An and smiled "Aha", and then circled her several times.

Xia Anqian was dazzled by him, "An Feng."

The little guy just stopped.

That was the first time Nie Xiaoqian saw someone from the underworld, and the person who came seemed to be a big shot. She thought of what Xia Anqian said to her that night, and her heart trembled slightly.She quickly raised her eyes to look at Heiwuchang, and felt that the aura from the netherworld on his body made her heart cold.

Hei Wuchang's eyes swept over Nie Xiaoqian and Yan Chixia, and then fell on Xia Anqian.

Xia An lightly pursed her lips, took two steps forward, and said to Lord Ghost Envoy with a very upright attitude: "I tricked Nie Xiaoqian into it with illusion. Although she is the minion of the tree demon, I promise her that as long as she helps us kill If the tree demon is killed, I will retrieve the bones for her and bury her."

Hei Wuchang let out a "hmm" and didn't speak.

Then Xia Anqian said: "As for Daoist Yan, since his patriarch and grandfather can seal most of the tree demon's mana so powerfully, he must be able to help."

Hei Wuchang looked at Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian, then glanced at Xia Anqian, "You stay here."

Xia An was not convinced: "Why?"

"I went back to the Underworld and asked Brother Bai. Since the Dryad was able to teach Jin Shiniang the forbidden technique of collecting 100 resentful spirits [-] years ago, now he will also have other vicious forbidden techniques. The vitality of the village under the Black Mountain is continuously absorbed by her. Come on, she is not afraid of disturbing the fairy world and the underworld with such a big move, and she will definitely succeed in the near future. Although you have a little success in magic, if you want to fight the tree demon..." Hei Wuchang paused, his eyes slightly smiling Looking into Xia An's shallow eyes, "You know how to fight?"

Xia Anqian: "Although I can't fight, I can defend myself." As she spoke, she turned her hand, and snow began to fall inside the gazebo.

This is a world of ice and snow that she has learned recently, and she can also build an iceberg barrier.

When An Feng saw the snow, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and tugged on Xia Anqian's sleeve, and Xia Anqian made a big snowball for him to play with.

"I still have An Feng. If you're going to fight, it's best to bring An Feng with you. He's useless. Whatever the tree demon does, she dares not hand over the bones in her hand." Xia An's shallow eyes narrowed slightly. Narrowing her eyes, she said viciously, "I let An Feng swallow her in one gulp."

Yan Chixia: "..."

Nie Xiaoqian: "..."

And Hei Wuchang weighed the big steel knife in his hand, but said nothing.

But Xia Anqian was right, fighting would not be fun without Anfeng. This little guy probably wanted to torment the monsters and goblins in the mountains since he arrived in Montenegro, but Xia Anqian couldn't help him, so he had to hold back .Now that it's finally time to fight, Hei Wuchang is worried that if the little guy disagrees with him in the future, he will be frozen into an ice sculpture if he is not allowed to have a quick fight.

After all, the last experience of being frozen into an ice sculpture was not so pleasant.

In the middle of the night, it is the time when the tree demon has the most demon power in a day, and at this time, her soldiers will bewitch the men in the world around Lanruo Temple and Montenegro, absorbing their energy and offering it to the tree demon.Nie Xiaoqian said that although the tree demon is most powerful at this time, it is only at this time that she will expose her real body to bask in the moonlight and use the absorbed energy to cultivate.

Afraid that the tree demon would feel suspicious when he sensed Nie Xiaoqian's breath, Xia Anqian put the blinding bead on Nie Xiaoqian, "Take us to find the tree demon."

Nie Xiaoqian led them to walk on the Black Mountain, going deeper and deeper. On the way, they met some little monsters. Xia Anqian cast the dungeon technique smoothly, trapping those little monsters in place, unable to get out no matter what.

She slept for more than ten days, and her spiritual power recovered, and with Hei Wuchang and An Feng around her, she was confident and planned to sleep and fall down when her spiritual power was exhausted.

Hei Wuchang glanced at her, grabbed her to his side, and said softly, "Don't use it too fast."

As soon as his words fell, the steel knife at his waist shook twice. Nie Xiaoqian, who was in front of her, was a little frightened when she heard the movement. The closer she got to the place where the tree demon's real body was, the uglier her face became. .Yan Chixia glanced at her, took two steps forward and stood beside her, "If something is going to harm you, I will stand in front of you, don't be afraid."

But An Feng didn't realize that this place was dangerous. Since he was a child, he was neither afraid of places full of divine power nor turbid and evil spirits. There was nothing that could stop him.At this time, he was sitting on Heiwuchang's shoulders, looking around.

Suddenly, a slender black hand suddenly appeared from the nearby bushes and grabbed An Feng's shoulder.But before An Feng could do anything, blue smoke came out of that black hand, and he let out a scream.

Xia Anqian turned her head quickly, and Hei Wuchang's steel knife roared out, chopping off the black hand, and the severed hand fell to the ground, instantly turning into a cat's claw.An Feng was very angry when someone grabbed his shoulder. When he stretched out his little hand, a few cold rays of light melted. The bushes around him immediately fell down, and there was a miserable cry, and then calmed down.

An Feng's small body flew up from Hei Wuchang's body, and landed lightly in front of Xia Anqian.Beside the fallen bushes, there was a cat demon who had died of exhaustion.

Nie Xiaoqian exclaimed, "It was sent by grandma."

Xia Anqian was surprised, there was already a demon lurking beside him, was the tree demon so powerful before its seal was released?

At this time, the voice of the tree demon sounded in the night sky——

"Where's Xiaoqian? Where did you take my Xiaoqian? Yan Chixia, you young brat, Shi Zhuqing died, so you came here to die for him, didn't you?"

The voice of the dryad, sometimes male and sometimes female, is really scary to hear in the dark.Coupled with the fact that the cat demon's body was lying on the ground just now, Nie Xiaoqian's expression changed a few more times.

Nie Xiaoqian listened to the voice of the tree demon fluctuating from far and near, male and female, even though she was surrounded by Hei Wuchang, Yan Chixia and others, she still couldn't help trembling slightly.

Xia Anqian looked at her so frightened that she was about to faint, and couldn't help but said: "Don't be afraid, even if she is powerful enough to go to the sky, she still has weaknesses. Her demon power is still sealed, and there are Lord Ghost Envoy of the Hades and the Lord An Feng is here, she can't hurt you."

Nie Xiaoqian shook her head, "You don't understand."

For many years, he lived under the majesty of the tree demon.Nie Xiaoqian didn't know what her grandmother's temperament was like before she was sealed. When her bones were collected by her grandmother, she was already a moody person.When she is kind, she is like her relatives, but when she is cruel, it can make her survive or die.

Yan Chixia glanced sideways at Nie Xiaoqian, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Nie Xiaoqian nodded, and led a few people into the dark path around the Black Mountain. The place where the tree demon was located was in the depths of the Black Mountain. Along the way, there were jagged rocks and exotic flowers and plants.Occasionally, the moonlight is projected through the gaps in the leaves, and it can be seen that the strange flowers that are in flowering period are blooming extraordinarily enchantingly.

If it wasn't for the fact that Montenegro was full of monsters and the tree demon was doing evil here again, Xia An Qiandu Yao couldn't help marveling that Montenegro was such a good place.

A few people walked down a few steps, and the more they walked, the more silent they were, but the more they walked, the more frightened they were. Along the way, they saw dead bones by the roadside from time to time.

Walking to the front, suddenly a woman in Tsing Yi came over, she first scolded angrily, "Who?" When she looked carefully, her eyes lit up, she ran over, her tone was very pleasantly surprised, "Sister, you are back! These days , I miss Xiaoqing to death."

Xia Anqian and Hei Wuchang looked at each other. Nie Xiaoqian, who was in front of her, was taken aback when she saw the woman, then raised her airs and let out a "hmm".

Xiaoqing looked at the people behind Nie Xiaoqian with her slender eyes, "Is this the guest that my sister brought back for grandma? Grandma is still worried about what happened to her these few days, and she is in a bad mood. Everyone is looking forward to it. I hope my sister will come back earlier. Now that my sister is back just in time, you take a few guests and walk slowly, I will go back and tell grandma the good news of your return!"

Xiaoqing's real body is a green snake.Before she left, she winked at Yan Chixia who was beside Xia Anqian.

Yan Chixia: "..."

It's just that the snake demon named Xiaoqing didn't go far, and suddenly felt a biting chill on her back, and the coercion from the nether covered her head, and she froze in place, with fine sweat oozing from her forehead.

"Going to report?" Heiwuchang's cold voice sounded slowly behind her.

Xiaoqing turned her head, and Master Heiwuchang from the underworld released all the coercion in her body, which made her almost breathless.But she still forced a smile, and said in a charming voice: "My lord, you are so fierce. My sister has been missing for a few days, and now that I am back, I just want to tell my grandma to make her happy sooner."

Nie Xiaoqian: "My lord, she has a very good friendship with me on weekdays, so she should not harm me."

Hei Wuchang raised his eyebrows and glanced at Nie Xiaoqian. Taking advantage of Hei Wuchang's distraction, the snake demon turned into a puff of blue smoke.

"Want to escape?" With a wave of Yan Chixia's sleeve, the snake demon Xiaoqing fell from the air, lying on the ground and coughing twice.

Yan Chixia: "Let me ask you, has the seal on the Dryad been released?"

Xiao Qing forced a smile and said, "What seal?"

Heiwuchang on the side frowned slightly, he didn't care about such things as bullying the small by the big, and pressed him mercilessly with coercion, Xiaoqing let out a muffled snort.

She seemed unable to bear more, so she looked at Nie Xiaoqian bitterly: "I thought the few people you found were dedicated to grandma, but you have already betrayed me. Bah, you ungrateful traitor, It’s a waste of grandma’s love for you all the time!”

"It's just a lonely ghost. With a bit of beauty, he can seduce men, but he forgets who he is. Your bones are still in the hands of grandma. Without your bones, you can't go anywhere, you can't do anything .”

Nie Xiaoqian did not refute when she heard her words.

Seeing Nie Xiaoqian's silence, the snake demon felt happy. His body was suffering, so it would be good to be brave verbally, "That's Yan Chixia, right? You killed my sister a few days ago, and I haven't settled the score with you yet." What. Why, Nie Xiaoqian fell into your hands, and you were also bewitched by her beauty, and climbed onto her—"

The snake demon's words stopped abruptly, because a steel knife emitting a cold light stood straight in front of her.

Hei Wuchang stepped forward slowly, "Where is there so much nonsense, where is the dryad? Tell me!"

The coercion from the netherworld and the murderous intent of the steel knife made the snake demon finally go limp. She lay on the ground, her voice trembling unconsciously: "Grandma's great success is about to be accomplished, just wait another hour, she Then the seal will be released. I, I didn’t mean to harm you. Grandma told me that as long as her seal is released, she will be able to dominate one side. At that time, even if she is a general in the sky, she will not pay attention to it. Li. She is so powerful now that she is sealed, if the seal is lifted, if a little monster like me does not submit to her, he will only die." So it is better to be more sensible and obey the words of the tree demon.

After the snake demon finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Heiwuchang in front of him, "My lord, I have told everything now, will you kill me?"

Hei Wuchang didn't speak, but retracted the steel knife standing upright in front of the snake demon.Seeing this, the snake demon was overjoyed. She glanced at Nie Xiaoqian, snorted coldly, and was about to leave. Unfortunately, when she turned around, she was already tightly bound by the demon-binding rope released by Yan Chixia.

Xiaoqing glared at Yan Chixia: "You!"

An Feng looked at the demon-binding rope flying out of Yan Chixia's hand, and seemed to find it very fresh. With a small step, he ran over to Yan Chixia to look at him.

Yan Chixia knew that this little thing was very powerful and had a naive heart, and being looked at by his black and white eyes like that, Yan Chixia froze for a moment, then silently handed over the demon-binding rope in her hand to An Feng , let him play while going.

Xia Anqian looked at An Feng who was running over happily, and then at the snake demon who dared not speak out, thought for a while, squeezed his hands, and cast a dumb curse on her.

Xia An said with a slight smile: "At the moment, it's better for you to be quiet. Otherwise, such a loud voice will kill me."

Nie Xiaoqian stared at the group speechlessly, feeling that they were not here to kill monsters, but to play.

Heiwuchang glanced at An Feng, who was grinning while holding the demon rope, and then looked up to the front. The demonic aura was getting stronger and stronger, and he could always feel a very powerful demonic force about to move.

"Don't waste time, let's go."

Several people walked up the mountain road, and the turbidity became more and more serious, and the turbulent turbidity and evilness made Xia Anqian couldn't help frowning slightly. She is neither human nor ghost, and she has cultivated Even though the evil and turbid qi had no effect on her at ordinary times, suddenly the turbid qi rolled over, and the overwhelming evil qi enveloped the sky like a dark cloud, and she felt that her breathing was not smooth.

Hei Wuchang seemed to have noticed her abnormality. He raised his hand, and his middle finger and index finger were placed together on Xia Anqian's brow. The stagnant inner breath became smooth again.

Hei Wuchang said to her in a neutral tone: "Let you join in the fun."

Xia Anqian was about to speak when suddenly the willows were dark and the flowers were bright in front of her. On the top of the black mountain that was originally dark, the mountain road suddenly opened up. In front of her was a luxuriant crabapple tree on the top of the mountain. The huge crabapple tree had been here for thousands of years. Part of the tree roots have sprung out of the ground, and the blooming flowers are very beautiful hanging on the branches, and the branches and leaves are swaying under the moonlight.

Xia An was stunned for a moment, "Is that the tree demon's real body?"

When the snake demon heard this, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.Although she can't speak anymore, she was very sensible when she asked Hei Wuchang to let her go, but now that she's here, she's back to her old ways, looking at Xia Anqian and the others, as if she was watching a group of people waiting to die like a fool.

Hei Wuchang retracted the steel knife in his hand, and more than a dozen cold lights flew out of his palm. The cold light passed through the huge crabapple tree, and the crabapple tree didn't move at all.

"This is an illusion created by the tree demon."

The tree demon has been cultivating for thousands of years, so how could she show off her real body so blatantly here?Hei Wuchang looked at An Feng, who was pulling the rope that bound the demon, loosening and tightening the snake demon, and said with a smile, "An Feng, go and pull up that big tree."

Hearing this, An Feng stuffed the demon-binding rope into Xia Anqian's hand, and his small body flew up into the air and flew to the huge crabapple tree. The iceberg rose from the ground, and there was a loud "bang", and the flat ground in front of it suddenly flew sand and rocks.The original flat ground and the luxuriant crabapple trees disappeared in an instant, and there was a thick white mist on the top of the mountain. When you stretch out your hand, you can hardly see your fingers.

Xia An lightly frowned, "An Feng?"

A big hand stretched out at this moment, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her to her side, "He's here with me, so don't run around."

Xia An glanced at the man beside him, and blew forward, the thick white mist was blown away, and Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian were a foot away from them.The white mist dispersed for a while, and there was a vague afterimage of an ancient temple not far ahead.Xia Anqian didn't do anything, and simply blew away the white mist.

Lan Ruo Temple.

A building that is exactly the same as the Lanruo Temple, the ancient temple they stayed in before, stood in front of it. On the steps in front of the ancient temple, there was a statue at the end of the steps. Xia An looked over and laughed.

"Yan Chixia, why did you become the gatekeeper of Lanruo Temple?"

Yan Chixia was silent.

But the statue standing at the end of the steps is not Yan Chixia, but Shi Zhuqing.
