[Comprehensive] Traveling through Liaozhai with a hundred ghosts

Xu Hang told the shikigami that he and Yan Chixia were leaving for Laoshan.

"Tomorrow, I will go with Yansheng to Laoshan Mountain. Laoshan Mountain is far away from here. Things on the way are unpredictable. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to accompany me. So now I want to ask your opinion whether I plan to go back to the picture scroll or stay here. Stay in the mansion?"

Because there is a picture scroll as a contract, even if he stays in the mansion, as long as Xu Hang calls, the shikigami can still quickly reach Xu Hang through the picture scroll.

Moreover, compared to summoning the monsters in the picture scroll, directly summoning the monsters that have been summoned to the present world takes less energy. It is also because of this that Xu Hang does not intend to take them back.

Shikigami are rarely summoned to the present world, and they haven't seen enough yet, so how could they be willing to go back so soon.

Immediately rushed to the road.

"I want to stay here."

"Me too!"

"Lord Hang, don't worry about us. If we encounter danger that we can't deal with, we will naturally cancel the summons and hide in the other side of the world."

"Right! Don't worry about us!"

"If Master Hang needs it, you can call us directly!"

……

Seeing these little monsters acting obediently and eagerly showing that they were reliable, Xu Hang couldn't help laughing inwardly, and stopped teasing them.

Xu Hang instructed: "I have used the spell to cover up the evil energy in this house last night. Even if a mage comes, you will not be able to see the clue unless you get close. You can play freely in the house, but don't go outside. , your demonic aura cannot be concealed outside, and it is easy to attract demon-catching masters."

The little monsters all nodded.

Then Xu Hang explained to Gu Huo Niao these SR monsters: "I'll ask you guys to keep an eye on them while I'm away."

Guhuoniao and Xuenv agreed quickly, but Shuweng showed displeasure.

The bookman was originally a monster who liked to travel around and collect all kinds of stories. Now it is rare to come to a country that he only learned about from other people's oral or records, so he really wants to travel.

Xu Hang thought about it, although the scholar is a monster, but because of his feet, his aura is very close to ordinary people, so he let go and said: "Scholar, if you feel tired of staying in the courtyard all the time, if you master the Mandarin here, you can Go to the teahouse in the village and sit down."

When the scholar heard this, he immediately lost his dissatisfaction.

But it was time for the little monsters to make a fuss again.

"What about us? Can we go out after learning the language here?"

"If the scholar can go, shall we..."

Xu Hang said helplessly: "No, your strength is too easy to be seen through."

All the demons: "Oh..."

Seeing the disappointed looks of the monsters, Xu Hang sighed: "How about I tell you what I have seen and heard in the past two days."

When the little monsters heard that there was a story to listen to, their attention was quickly diverted, and they all excitedly said: "Okay, okay!"

Shuweng was also aroused interest.

So Xu Hang told them the story of Painted Skin.

Xu Hang is not a person who is good at telling stories, his narration is as straight and concise as his personality, less emotionally involved, it is more like a statement of an action report than a storytelling.

Even so, the monsters were still listening very intently, but maybe Xu Hang's tone was too serious, and the monsters who were listening to the story gradually became more serious, as if they were listening to the class seriously.

After Xu Hang finished speaking, the atmosphere gradually relaxed again.

Zuo Ao Tongzi said: "Painted skin ghosts sound like bone girls, they are all monsters in human skin."

Li Yujing said with regret: "It's always when I met a heartless person..."

Yingcao asked with concern: "Master Hang, can you tell me more about Painted Skin Ghost's life?"

Xu Hang: "I don't know."

Painted Skin Ghost has been saved by Yan Chixia.

All the demons: "Oh..."

Shuweng: "..."

Next to them, Gu Huo Niao looked at them lovingly, and Xue Nu also had rare warmth in her eyes.

After appeasing the group of monsters, Xu Hang went to the outside yard.

Yan Chixia went out early in the morning, because in order to make the peach wood sword invulnerable to water and fire, it needs to be soaked in a special potion for fifteen days, so Yan Chixia went to the village pharmacy to find the medicinal materials she needed.

Seeing that Yan Chixia hadn't come back yet, Xu Hang simply went to the village to see if there was anything he needed to buy on the way, and he went down to the pharmacy to meet Yan Chixia.

Not long after arriving in the village, Xu Hang heard someone calling him in front.

"Hey! Master Xu, what a coincidence!"

I saw Zhu Erdan walking towards me.

After Xu Hang nodded his head and looked at Zhu Erdan, he couldn't help but pay more attention to him. Compared with the past, Xu Hang seemed to have become more enlightened.

Thinking about the content of the story, it must be because Lu Pan changed Zhu Erdan's heart, so this change happened.

Xu Hang said: "You look like you have been completely reborn, did Judge Lu use some magical means on you?"

Zhu Erdan was very surprised, thinking that Lu Pan was also respectful to him, and after looking around, he approached and whispered: "Master has good eyesight, how did you see it?"

Except for his wife who knew about it, none of his daily friends could see the change in him.

Xu Hang didn't answer, but Zhu Erdan knew he was extraordinary and thought it was a master's trick, so he didn't ask further.

Even though he knew that Zhu Erdan didn't know about the heart-changing matter beforehand, it was Lu Juan's spontaneous claim.But Xu Hang thinks that this matter is a bit of selfishness. If you can get an exquisite heart if you make friends with the judge, it will be unfair to other down-to-earth people.

Xu Hang knew that Zhu Erdan had a good death in the end, but he reminded: "What you have obtained today is not the righteous law. If the heavenly court sends people to investigate one day, you may be in trouble."

Although Zhu Erdan had some scruples after hearing his words, he felt the benefits of heart-changing at this moment, and he was reluctant to give up: "Master Xu, don't worry, the heart that Lu Juan replaced for me was taken from a dead person. I don’t want to go into the water, and I didn’t take people’s lives, even if the heavenly court is liquidated, it won’t be my turn.”

After saying that, Zhu Erdan felt at ease, and didn't take Xu Hang's warning seriously.

Xu Hang thinks that Zhu Erdan's descendants have become wiser after changing their hearts, but now they have lost the sincerity and uprightness they had when they first met.

Xu Hang frowned and said, "Human beings and ghosts and gods are not the same way, you can judge for yourself."

Zhu Erdan responded perfunctorily.

Since the words were not speculative, Xu Hang stopped talking, and went to the pharmacy to look for Yan Chixia after finishing talking with Zhu Erdan.

Yan Chixia happened to come out of the pharmacy, saw Xu Hang and said, "There are too few medicinal materials here, and there are still a few medicines missing, maybe I have to go to the pharmacy in the county."

Then they asked the traveling businessmen in the village about the nearest county town in the direction of Laoshan, planning to go there early tomorrow morning.

Just as he was about to go back to the deserted house, Xu Hang suddenly remembered the rumors about Lanruo Temple.

Now Yan Chixia took him to Laoshan, in case Ning Caichen stayed at Lanruo Temple during the period, and Yan Chixia was not there this time, if Ning Caichen lost his life because of this... Xu Hang thought of the staff of the tooth shop, Lanruo Temple was in This place has also been a disaster for some time, and I don't know how many travelers passing by have been harmed.

Thinking of this, Xu Hang said to Yan Chixia: "When I came here, I passed by a temple called Lanruo Temple, which is now occupied by monsters. If travelers who are traveling at night don't know where to stay, they will often be killed by monsters. life, so I want to be clear about this scourge before I leave."

When Yan Chixia heard that there was a monster doing evil, she immediately said righteously: "Then you should be punished!"

Yan Chixia went down the mountain this time not only to travel in the world, but also to subdue demons, support righteousness, punish evil and promote good.

Then Yan Chixia told Xu Hang: "But it's noon at this time, and the yang energy is at its peak, and monsters usually don't come out. If you want to do it, you'll have to wait until tonight."

Xu Hang heard the words: "Perhaps I need to cover up my aura, otherwise those monsters may not dare to come out."

Xu Hang has a heart of ice, and he was born with half a foot in the Taoist sect. Even if he didn't meet Yan Chixia, he would follow God's will to enter the Taoist practice in the dark.

Being ruthless and desireless will certainly make people feel cold-blooded, but in terms of cultivating the Tao, it means not being influenced by worldly emotions, and the mind is kept thorough, so it is surrounded by a pure and righteous atmosphere.

Yan Chixia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a talisman to restrain my breath."

……

Late at night, inside Lanruo Temple.

Li Huidou is a scholar who came from Yidu County. Because it was getting late and there were no farmhouses in the wild, he had to temporarily settle down in Lanruo Temple.

In the middle of the night, Li Huidou, who was sleeping in the inner hall, heard voices outside. He was afraid it was bandits, so he got up to peek.

I saw a few people sitting on the floor of the hall drinking wine, it seemed that they should be a few merchants on their way together.

Not long after, another person ran in, holding a food box in his hand.

"This is a delicacy from the kitchen of the mountain god, come and taste it, everyone."

Then he took out plates of delicacies that were delicious in color, fragrance and taste from the food box, and they quickly filled the place where they were sitting.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Li Huidou, who hadn't eaten since dusk, couldn't help but growl.

"Who's in there!"

Li Huidou came out of the inner hall shyly.

When those people saw Li Huidou, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was a servant of the mountain god, but it turned out to be just a passing scholar."

Li Huidou was curious about the mountain god they were talking about, but he didn't dare to ask more.

The person who brought the vegetables was enthusiastic: "We met by chance, this brother, let's come and eat together!"

Then the rest of the people greeted Li Huidou warmly one after another.

Li Huidou was already salivating from the aroma of the food, and couldn't help but go over and sit down to eat and drink with those few.

After a while, everyone ate very happily, and Li Huidou gradually opened up his mind after drinking a few glasses of wine, and became bolder.

Hearing the mountain god mentioned by these people before, he couldn't help asking: "Who is the mountain god you keep mentioning?"

The few people who were drinking wine suddenly became nervous, and Li Huidou was even more curious when he saw it.
