Quiet Night Thought of Ancient Sword and Qi Tan

Jiangling's General's Mansion was desolate after the massacre three years ago, and the subsequent fire turned everything in the mansion into a handful of ashes.

Because the general's mansion was destroyed, it was really miserable, the people around did not dare to pass by, and the local government did not respond to it for some reason, so the general's mansion, which was not far from the bustling area, completely became a deserted place. House.

On this day, a Taoist came to the gate of the desolate General's Mansion.

When the visitor saw the dilapidated General's Mansion, he was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise.

Then the Taoist quickly entered the General's Mansion, but only saw the ruins inside after being robbed by the fire.

How could this be... The Taoist looked solemn, and walked quickly through all the courtyards of the General's Mansion.But I only saw some dilapidated halls and wild cats boarding in the desolate grass.

The Taoist slowly closed his eyes. What happened during his years of retreat?

Walking out of the General's Mansion, seeing the bustling streets in the distance, and then looking back at the General's Mansion, which was incompatible with this prosperous scene, the Taoist sighed, and he didn't know who he was sighing.

When the people around saw him coming out of the General's Mansion, they couldn't help but whispered.

"Someone dared to enter that haunted house!"

"Hush! Didn't you see that is a Taoist priest? He can summon demons and catch ghosts, so he is not afraid of those ghosts!"

"It's true, look at this Taoist leader, his eyebrows and hair are all white, but his face is so young, he must be a Taoist with great cultivation!"

"Yes, yes, look at his temperament, look at his figure..."

……

……

The Taoist turned a deaf ear to those comments, and went straight to an old man leaning on a cane and basking in the sun in front of his yard: "This old man, the poor Taoist is bothering you."

The old man was basking in the sun comfortably, dozed off with his eyes closed, was woken up by the Taoist, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the Taoist in front of him.

The Taoist was wearing a Taoist robe with wide sleeves on a white background with blue borders, a big red sword tassel around his waist, and a jade belt around his waist. His eyebrows and hair were white, but his face still looked like a youth.The temperament of the whole body is like a fairy, which makes people feel good.

The old man coughed twice: "You...you...what are you looking for?"

The Taoist raised his hand and saluted: "This old man, the poor Taoist passed by here today, and happened to see the scene of the general's mansion in front of him. Dare I ask the old man, what happened to the general's mansion?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and glanced in the direction of the General's Mansion: "The General's Mansion...that was three years ago..." After speaking, he looked at the Taoist in puzzlement: "Why do you want to know this?"

The Taoist said indifferently: "I have a relationship with General Murong. I was practicing in seclusion before, so I don't know anything about the past few years. I passed by Jiangling today. I wanted to visit my old friend, but I didn't want to..."

"Oh oh oh." The old man nodded again and again: "That's it... If you say that General Murong... is really miserable, he fought for the country all his life, but was wiped out overnight three years ago, that day...it was really miserable... ..."

"One night... Miemen..." the Taoist murmured.

"That's right...the whole house has not left a single person alive." The old man sighed: "That's really miserable..."

"Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know about that, but I heard that General Murong offended someone and suffered such misfortune." The old man shook his head: "Who knows exactly what it is, anyway, General Murong's family, the death is really miserable..."

The Taoist closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It is said that on the night when General Murong's mansion was destroyed, there was no cloud in the surrounding area, but only a large black cloud gathered over the general's mansion. After a while, there was lightning and thunder. The movement was very scary! I heard it was God sent down a scourge from heaven, and killed the person who came to destroy the door! That burst of lightning came and went quickly, and after that, the General’s Mansion became a place where no one was there. Such a big incident happened in the General’s Mansion. I don’t care, I seem to be afraid of something. A few days after the Murong Mansion was destroyed, a group of people came here to collect the corpses. As for where they buried the bodies... no one knows. The General’s Mansion was destroyed overnight. The government doesn't bother to ask, no one dares to stay nearby for a long time, as time goes by, this general's mansion will become a haunted house that no one cares about."

"Heiyun... Thunder Tribulation..." The Taoist opened his eyes, as if thinking of something.

"Hey... By the way, I don't know what to call him?" the old man asked.

"The name of the poor Taoist is Ziyin."

"Oh, Daoist Ziyin." The old man nodded: "Daoist Ziyin, I think you are also an expert who has practiced the Tao, so you must not be afraid of those monsters and ghosts. I have a heartfelt request here."

"My husband, if you have something to say, just say it."

"It's like this." The old man coughed a few times: "I... I have a little daughter, she married to Langping Village at the foot of Jishan Mountain. Some time ago, she went back to her natal family to visit her relatives, saying that there was some kind of mountain ghost in Jishan's place. It only takes half an hour to walk between Jiangling and Jishan, so there are rumors that the ghosts from the general's mansion have entered Jishan to cause trouble. So I want to invite the Taoist priest...cough cough cough..."

"That's it." Ziyin nodded: "That's it, it's just that the poor road has gone through it once."

The old man's expression was a little strange, and he saluted Ziyin: "So, thank you, Daoist."

————————————————————————————————————————————

Not long after, Ziyin arrived at Langping Village.

A fairy-like figure suddenly appeared in the small mountain village, which naturally caused a lot of excitement.

"How did he get here? I just read it right, he seems to have flown down from the sky!"

"Looking at his appearance, he should be a fairy."

"Immortal? How could an immortal come to such a small place like us?"

……

……

This small village looks peaceful, but inside it is shrouded in a depressive atmosphere.The people around seemed very easy-going, but there was always a dark emotion in their eyes.Neighbors also seem to have little contact with each other, and it is rare to see anyone with a smile on their face.

Ziyin turned a deaf ear to the discussions around her, and walked up to a woman who was drying the grain and saluted: "Is this girl Liu Siniang?"

The woman was stunned by Ziyin's sudden question, and she nodded after recovering: "Yes, yes, I am, I don't know why the boss is looking for me?"

Ziyin said: "I heard that Jishan is haunted by ghosts, and the old man of the Liu family can't sleep at night. Today, I was entrusted by the old man of the Liu family to check on the Jishan mountain ghost."

"Yes... my father asked you to come here?" Liu Siniang was overjoyed: "Is my father okay?"

"My father is all right."

"It's fine...it's fine." Liu Siniang pulled her hair, when she heard a man's voice from inside the room: "You stinky bitch, who are you hooking up behind my back! See if I don't beat you to death! "Then a man reeking of alcohol came out in front of Liu Siniang, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Zi Yin's appearance like a fairy, and couldn't help whispering: "This Taoist priest...you are..."

Ziyin had no choice but to explain his intentions again.

"That old man..." The man rubbed his chin: "You still have money to hire a Taoist priest?"

"This... Daoist, are you really here to get rid of the mountain ghost?" Some villagers gathered around, chattering: "Daoist, this mountain ghost is really harmful..."

"Yes, yes, it made us afraid to go hunting in the mountains, and we didn't dare to stay long to collect firewood."

"It's been three years, and we are panicked."

……

……

After learning about the evil deeds of the so-called mountain ghosts in the past few years, Ziyin pondered slightly: "The poor Taoist knows, so let's set off for Jishan."

"Ah? Doesn't the priest make any preparations?" Several villagers asked in surprise.

Ziyin shook his head: "After going to Jishan, we will make further calculations."

————————————————————————————————————————————

As soon as you enter Jishan, you will be surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters, which are not much different from other hills.

Ziyin was walking quietly in the forest, and could feel a few monkeys passing by not far away and disappeared.

Ziyin just glanced lightly, but didn't respond.

Creek

Murong Jing was having fun grilling fish when suddenly several monkeys ran up in front of her and screamed.

Murong Jing raised her eyebrows, is someone here again?

The monkeys continued to jump up and down.

Hmph, I thought they had stopped in the past two years, but it turned out that they were not afraid of death.Murong Jing took water to put out the bonfire, stood up and went into the forest.

It has been almost a year since Xiaojing fell into a deep sleep last time, and the time she wakes up is getting shorter and shorter, and the time she sleeps is getting longer and longer.Murong Jing's mood is getting worse day by day, and she hasn't spoken since Xiao Jing fell into a deep sleep.

Those people are really dishonest, but the traps laid out in the past two years are enough for them to suffer for a while.

--------------------------------

Zi Yin waved his hand to solve several traps attacking him, and looked around carefully.

There are successive traps along the way, but they can all be seen to be man-made.

Mountain ghost?If it's a ghost, why bother to be a trap.

It's just why these villagers are convinced that ghosts are causing trouble, but they don't realize that these are just traps?

How could Ziyin know that these villagers came in the middle of the night when they caught monkeys and other prey. As for the reason, it was naturally because they were afraid of being discovered by others.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a shout: "Xiaohu, bite him!" Then a tiger roared, and a yellow figure came straight towards Ziyin.

Ziyin set the tiger aside, and sent out a sword aura in the direction of the sound, the sword aura brushed across the grass, and a little girl was beaten out.
