Following Xu Qingmu's reminder, everyone was shocked. The two little beasts were released from the cave by Xu Qingmu. They were huge, already as big as a carriage, and looked around in an aggressive manner.
A ghost claw struck, heading directly towards Xu Qingmu.
Before everyone could see the enemy clearly, as the attack of the ghost claw was blocked, the figure had disappeared, and the surrounding dark wind slowly dissipated.
"Has it disappeared?" Xu Luo was not only not afraid at all, but also a little excited. Xu Luo, who grew up in the royal city, had never seen these strange things. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was extremely excited, thinking about what he would do when he went back
, I must talk to my father about this strange thing in the mountains.
Xu Qingmu spoke: "General Zhang, could you and the other soldiers protect Princess Xu Luo, Cao Tong, Fatty, and Princess Xu Luo from leaving this ruined temple?"
The situation was urgent at the moment, so Cao Tong did not act petty anymore. Lao LaoShi and Fatty and others sat at the feet of the severed-headed Bodhisattva, surrounded by a group of armed soldiers.
"Can you set up some formations?"
Xu Qingmu turned to look at Li Chengru, who hesitated, nodded and said:
"You can protect these people for twelve or fourteen hours."
"That's enough." Xu Qingmu handed the small wolf-hair brush to Li Chengru: "This is the small seal pen my master gave me. Use it."
Li Chengru was not polite, reached out to take Xiao Yu, quickly drew on the prepared talisman paper, bit his fingertips, and shouted: "Imperial!"
Then the talisman's light prevailed and surrounded the entire ruined temple.
He took the "Sixue", put it away, and took out the "Yinyue Monument" given by the boatman from among the things nearby, handed it to the fat man, and ordered: "Take care of everyone, and remember not to leave the ruined temple."
The fat man took it and asked, "Can't we just go down the mountain? Why do we have to provoke this ghost?"
Xu Qingmu looked at the gradually blurry sky outside, and said helplessly: "If you don't say hello when you enter someone else's house, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out." Then he turned around and smiled: "It's okay, Master said, don't do anything wrong.
, not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.”
The fat man made a grimace: "Does it count if you steal the fruit?"
Xu Qingmu was stunned, then looked at Xu Luo, as if suddenly enlightened: "If you die under a pomegranate skirt, how can you be romantic even if you are a ghost?"
Xu Luo's cheeks turned red, and he lowered his head and pinched the fat man's waist.
"Okay, General Zhang, protect them and wait for us to come back." After that, the sixteen-year-old boy drew out the Chouli Sword and said to Li Chengru, "What should I say?"
Qi Shang and Ba Xia also stayed at the door of the temple. First, they warned too much and the movement was like a mountain. Second, they were at the door so that they could take care of one or two.
Li Chengru looked at the "Looking for Yin and Picking Yang Talisman" and asked: "Isn't it a Yin thing?"
Xu Qingmu nodded and said: "If it is a yin object with a strong yin energy, the talisman must have burned long ago. Furthermore, the claw mark that was attacked just now has no aura of yin object." After all, he was strangled by a king-level ghost in Fengdu.
After staying in the throat, the two breaths are obviously different.
Li Chengru said: "Chase."
The old man and the young man each held swords and stepped out of the temple door. The sword attendant Ye Qingxian ignored the obstruction of the people behind him and stepped out together, keeping up with Xu Qingmu's pace.
Looking at the swordsman following behind him, Xu Qingmu smiled and said, "What? I'm afraid your master will suffer a loss. Isn't Li Chengru still here? Why don't you go back?"
But when he looked back, Xu Qingmu's expression changed drastically.
The ruined temple that was originally behind him disappeared and turned into an empty forest.
"It seems that someone with good intentions not only wants to prevent us from getting out, but also wants to let us watch a good show." Xu Qingmu no longer felt nervous and put Chouli back into the scabbard. He said to Li Chengru: "Let's go.
, the master wants to invite us to have a cup of tea, if we don’t go, it will appear that we are rude.”
Li Chengru looked at the pavilions and pavilions that appeared in front of him and smiled: "It's a pity that there are a few pretty maids missing."
In front of the three people, a four-cornered pavilion rose from the ground. In the center of the pavilion was a round tea table, with a pot and five cups on the table, steaming. Next to it was an old and lean old man, holding a fan in his hand, and said respectfully: "
The three guests will wait a moment. My wife will arrive soon. Please come and take a seat, have a cup of tea and wait a while."
Xu Qingmu and the other three did not refuse, they cupped their fists and said, "Thank you."
Then he, Li Chengru and Ye Qingxian went to sit down. The atmosphere inside the pavilion was extremely peaceful and not weird at all. The pavilion was connected to the pavilion by a pavilion passage. There were several flower pots hanging above the fence with gorgeous flowers. There were three pairs of parrots, all with extremely colorful fur.
Good, I guess their owners spent a lot of time taking care of them.
Xu Qingmu picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip carefully, and said "good tea" when Ye Qingxian stopped her. Ye Qingxian had an expression of "you don't want your life". How could you say you should drink the tea provided by this ghost?
Just drink?
I thought to myself that after all, this master was younger and not as mature as Li Chengru.
Turning his head, Li Chengru had already finished his drink and looked at the old man in the pavilion with a smile: "Can you refill the cup?"
The extremely old-looking old man chuckled and said, "But it doesn't hurt to drink."
Li Chengru drank another drink for himself, smacked his mouth and said: "The scenery is beautiful, the tea smells good, but the old people are sallow, which is a bit unpleasant to the scenery."
As the words fell, a man in red clothes slowly came from the end of Xuanxie:
"I am only thirty-five years old at the end of the year, so I can't be considered old and wan."
The voice is like a lark.
When the woman in red walked over, a burst of fragrance hit her, it was the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus. Women all over the world love beauty, and it is normal to have some scented rouge, but the fragrance on this woman in red was too strong, and some
...too deliberate?
Ye Qingxian wrinkled her pretty little nose and said in a low voice to Xu Qingmu: "Master, there seems to be an unusual smell under this fragrance."
Xu Qingmu also sniffed it with his nose and said to Ye Qingxian: "Just listen, don't talk, wait and see what happens."
Ye Qingxian understood and reached out under the table to cover the hilt of the sword.
The old man holding a fan saw the person coming and poured a cup of tea for the woman himself. Li Chengru said: "There are five teacups prepared by Madam. It seems that this empty cup is the protagonist of today. Why, I and others came here empty-handed."
, the rightful owner has some blame?"
Li Chengru's words were very tactful. First, he showed that there were some reasons for his uninvited appearance, so please don't be surprised. Second, he made it clear that he already had a general grasp of the matter, so don't make any pretense or do anything that will interest people.
Sure enough, the woman in red covered her face lightly and smiled softly: "Xie Lang, come out, the guest is a little bit scolded."
At the end of Xuanxie, a tall man came slowly. When the man walked in, Ye Qingxian almost drew his sword and stood up.
The man's eyes were empty and his face was bloodless, like a walking zombie. He could not feel any warmth in his whole body. Xu Qingmu reached out to stop Ye Qingxian and shook his head to signal not to act rashly. Then the little girl squatted down and sat down again, looking at the person in front of her with an expression.
alert.
Li Chengru poured himself a cup of tea again and said slowly: "It seems that this tea is expensive."
The woman in red opened her mouth and said: "This little lady has a request, and I hope that the Fairy Lord will agree to it. You can drink this tea for free."
Li Chengru put down the tea cup and said softly: "What if it's not the case?"
The woman didn't make any move. She just looked at Xie Lang, who was sitting beside her like a zombie, with an expression of extreme pity. She stretched out her hand to hold the man's hand, and slowly spoke: "Why don't you listen to the slave tell a story?"
Li Chengru smiled and said, "Then I'm all ears."
"Fifteen years ago, there was a couple. They were not very handsome, but they played the piano together. The girl's family was quite wealthy, and the boy's family was a minor official. The couple quickly agreed on a date to get married and hired a matchmaker.
.
Originally, everything was heading towards the best ending, but one day, the man cried and told the woman that he wanted to cut off the relationship and never have anything to do with her again.
Of course the woman was not willing and asked the man why he was such a heartless man who cut off all kindness and righteousness.
She hated it, hated it to death.
So on a cold night, I found the heartless man who was pretending to be crazy. But the man was still crazy. He couldn't even speak clearly, let alone who the woman was and what kind of relationship she had with him. Finally, on a heavy rain day,
In the morning, the man seemed to suddenly wake up and pulled the woman up the mountain. However, soldiers continued to pursue him, and the two of them fled into the ruined temple together.
The man got out of everything and told the woman that he must escape if he wanted to. Seeing the pursuers coming, the man used his last strength to block the woman, but was still hacked to death. The woman also
After being defiled by a group of people in turn, he was pretended to commit suicide and hung on a branch.
But the moon in the sky has eyes, and the woman was rescued by a man who told him about a spiritual summoning circle that used human blood as a sacrifice. The woman carved the word "生" on her arm and sacrificed her body in an attempt to resurrect the man.
Later, the man was not fully resurrected. One of his three souls was imprisoned by his biological father. He could neither die nor live. He only became the scapegoat for the rumors on the mountain. It is ridiculous and sad. Every year, people die on the mountain, and
They had nothing to do with each other, but in the end, they took the blame.
So, Lord Immortal, do you think this woman, who risked her life to save her, should wake up? Should the father who cut off his son's life with his own hands be punished?"
The little girl Ye Qingxian was so shocked that she opened her mouth and asked, "Is there such a father in the world?"
But Xu Qingmu had been deep in thought and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
The woman held her chin in one hand and held the man next to her with the other. She stared at Li Chengru and asked, "Mr. Immortal, what do you think will happen to such a father?"
Li Chengru still laughed, pretending to be stupid and said blankly: "Could it be that the girl is the heroine of that story?"
The old servant standing next to him with a fan in one hand was a little angry. Just as he was about to explode, he was stopped by the woman in red:
"I just want to know, whether it's a chivalrous act of justice or a sword-fighting adventure, if you encounter injustice, can that sword be used to level it?"
Looking across at Li Chengru, who still had an unwavering expression on his face, the woman's eyes looked a little desperate.
"In a few months, the essence and blood in the woman's body will not be enough to support the survival of the person who has lost one soul, and she will really become a lonely ghost in the mountains."
Li Chengru looked at Xu Qingmu with an extremely respectful expression like an old slave for no reason:
"Young Master, please make up your mind on this matter."
Well, after all, he is a cunning person who has pushed all the choices to himself in one sentence.
Xu Qingmu looked at the person in front of him and asked his doubts:
"That day, the moon came out, but there was a reed in your mouth?"
