…
Listening to the wind and rain, reading the article, I felt peaceful. After a long time, Chen Jianchen seemed to be tired, so he lay down on the table to sleep - the light in the room suddenly dimmed, and at the other end of the table, a figure appeared in an instant.
A girl, no more than 28 years old, dressed in white clothes, with long black hair hanging down on her head, tied with a plain ribbon at the end, and tied into a fluffy ponytail.
Her appearance cannot be said to be extremely beautiful, but her eyes are surprisingly black and bright, and her expression is soaring when she looks around, which can shine into people's hearts.
The girl appeared suddenly, without saying a word, and sat quietly at the edge of the table, holding her chin in one hand, looking curiously at the brilliant stone.
After looking at it, I finally couldn't hold it any longer, so I gently stretched out my hand to touch it, but as soon as I made contact, I quickly retracted my hand, as if I was afraid of being burned.
Chen Jianchen took a peek and found it interesting - this female ghost didn't have any spooky or spooky aura at all. She looked like a girl next door who had snuck in.
He remained silent at the moment and waited to see what else she would do.
Sure enough, the female ghost quickly stood up, poked her little head over, and leaned in front of Chen Jianchen. She raised her finger and found a white duck feather. She secretly wanted to use this duck feather to tease Chen Jianchen's nostril.
At this moment, Chen Jianchen suddenly opened his eyes, and her big eyes looked at her small eyes, which was very funny.
"Huh!"
There were some surprised sounds. The female ghost quickly raised her head to avoid it and said in surprise: "You are not asleep?"
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "If I fell asleep, wouldn't you have succeeded in tricking me?"
The female ghost smiled and said: "I just chased away a Taoist priest, and here comes a bold scholar, you ""." She said the word "borrow" in her mouth, but her hand movements were not slow, whoosh, all of a sudden...
He snatched the scroll from Chen Jianchen's hand. His body floated weightlessly. The next moment, he was floating on the roof beam and opened the book to read.
"Hmm, "Mengxi Night Talk"? What kind of nonsense is written in it? I can't understand it." She had just started reading enlightenment books such as "The Thousand Character Essay", so she couldn't understand Chen Jianchen's book.
.
Chen Jianchen raised his head and said, "Since you can't understand, just give it back to me."
The female ghost chuckled and said, "I can give it back to you, but you have to give me something as compensation."
Chen Jianchen laughed dumbly and joked: "What do you want?"
"I want this rock on your desk."
Chen Jianchen said: "If you can take it, I will give it to you."
"Really? Don't regret it!"
"I will never regret it."
The female ghost's face showed a look of joy, and her body floated lightly onto the desk, reaching out to pick up the stubborn stone. Unexpectedly, it was extremely heavy in the hand. It was so heavy that it was not as easy to pick up as it seemed.
——She is in the ghost state, and it is not easy to handle real objects. She has many congenital deficiencies. However, even if the stone weighs more than a hundred kilograms, it will not be difficult for her. So she put her hands on it and started to use her strength. Sure enough, she successfully lifted the stone.
I picked it up. I was very happy, and turned it over to see what was carved on the bottom.
Buzz!
I saw four very strange characters carved on the bottom of the stone. The round strokes ran across each other, as if they formed a whole. But at this moment, those strokes suddenly seemed to come alive. Each stroke emitted a dazzling light.
The light was like a sword. Although it was condensed but not emitted, it was enough to pose a great threat to the female ghost. She screamed "Ah", loosened her hands, and quickly hid behind her body.
The stone fell back onto the table, firmly.
"You...this is..."
The female ghost was so frightened that she hid far away in the corner as if she had seen a cat or a mouse.
Chen Jianchen put a hand on the stubborn stone, played with it gently, and said, "What's your name?"
The female ghost scratched her head and thought for a while: "My name is Xiao Xie."
The name is very short, but at least it has a name.
"It turns out to be Xiao Xie, how did you get here?"
"I am..." Xiao Xie suddenly raised his head: "Why should I tell you?"
Chen Jianchen blinked: "Because I asked you, and to be polite, you have to answer."
Xiao Xie tilted his head, thought about it, and felt that this was indeed the truth, so he said: "I can't stay in Changfeng Mountain any longer, so I have no choice but to come here."
Is this okay?
Chen Jianchen secretly stuck out his tongue, why did he feel like a strange man who abducted an ignorant girl? Well, to be precise, he was a strange man who abducted an ignorant little girl.
"Where is Changfeng Mountain?"
"Originally, Changfeng Mountain was a very beautiful mountain, but now it has been occupied by a mountain god. The mountain god comes from the Yin Division, and the Yin Division is a very scary place. In order not to be caught, I had to escape quickly."
In line with the general principle of politeness, this little Xie really answered all questions, as simple as a piece of white paper.
In fact, there are some things that don't need to be asked too carefully. Chen Jianchen can also make a guess. This Xiao Xie is nothing more than a "lonely ghost". He escaped from the Yin Division's arrest due to chance and did not enter reincarnation - now the Yin Division's
If the management is not good enough, there are many ghosts who can escape.
These ghosts would rather take the risk of losing their souls at any time than be enslaved by the underworld.
——Since knowing the nature of the Yinsi, Chen Jianchen understands the misery of the Yin souls falling into reincarnation. This basically subverts the positioning of the Yinsi in the previous life. In another dimension, the Yinsi is regarded as "punishing evil and promoting good"
"The executor of the rules can only know with his toes that it is nothing more than the passionate wishes of countless people throughout the ages.
This little Xie is also considered a blessing. Not only did she not lose her soul, but she also succeeded in cultivation and condensed a golden elixir. She is also considered a beginner in ghost cultivation. In order to further acquire the method of orthodox cultivation, she must read and be literate.
. Without it, it’s all because of the Taoism of the world. The carriers of records are basically written in words, and if you don’t know how to read, what’s the use of being enlightened?
This is the main reason why many demons and ghosts try their best to learn from human culture. Those who act solely on instinct and eat people's hearts and drink human blood are ultimately outsiders and cannot enter the mainstream.
Xiao Xie fled down Changfeng Mountain, wandering all the way, and finally arrived at the Li Mansion. He took a fancy to this abandoned and quiet courtyard, and decided to stay and use it as his own study. As for the dog in the Li Mansion who made the dog restless
.She didn't take it to heart, she just felt that since she had no intention of harming others, she was just being kind to others.
After learning the whole story, Chen Jianchen couldn't help but ponder for a while.
Xiao Xie stared at him: "Sir, are you here to take me in too? Are you not a scholar, but pretending to be a scholar?" She had never heard that scholars can also slay demons, so "professional" is not the right word.
Chen Jianchen: "Yes, I am indeed here to collect you."
Xiao Xie's face changed, his body floated up, and he was about to float away from the window - he was hit by the characters on the bottom of the stubborn stone, his soul was shocked, and he was secretly timid. He knew that Chen Jianchen was definitely not the Taoist priest before, and he was not himself at all.
The only way to deal with it is to escape.
call!
A yellow talisman suddenly shook out of the window, and it was placed on her forehead with perfect accuracy. Xiao Xie suddenly seemed to have been immobilized, and was stuck there like a wooden figure. Only her two big eyes could still move. She was in panic.
.
Then a powerful aura appeared, and if he looked carefully, he saw a handsome and handsome book boy stepping out of the window.
Ghost cultivators are born with a sensitive sense of touch, so Xiao Xie immediately identified the other person's female body, and more importantly, she was also a demon body.
How is this going?
After Xiao Xie was stilled, Ying Ning Shi Shiran walked in: "Young Master."
Chen Jianchen smiled and said: "The next step is up to you."
Ying Ning said: "Ying Ning will have a good talk with this little sister Xie." She heard Xiao Xie's story outside, and she suddenly developed a feeling of sympathy for her because of her life experience.
"Okay then. I'll leave it to you."
Chen Jianchen stood up, opened the door and walked out. Obviously he didn't want to be a bystander and left all matters to Ying Ning to handle.
These have all been arranged beforehand.
The wind and rain outside continued, pattering on the roof and on the leaves. Various fragmentary sounds came together to form a complex sound.
After a while, another fire suddenly lit up on the other side of the courtyard door, and he was walking in.
Chen Jianchen's heart was moved, and he guessed that the real person Ling Feng might have come in again. Could it be that Li Ding was really afraid that he would lose his life in his home, which would implicate him, so he invited someone to come in and take a look at the truth?
No matter who was coming in, it would not be good for him to see a stubborn stone. So he turned around, knocked on the door, and then said: "Is the deal settled? Someone is coming."
Yingning answered simply: "Okay."
When Chen Jianchen returned to the house, Yingning was the only one left inside, and Xiao Xie had long disappeared. Yingning was holding a scroll in his hand, which looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized: this painting is still parting.
What Xiao Hanfeng presented as a gift at that time was a relatively subtle erotic painting.
There is an image of a lady in the picture, but in terms of clothing, she is relatively open-minded and her posture is quite provocative. The lady is sitting on a small boat, looking back with a smile, full of affection.
In the blank space beside the picture, there is a small poem: The small pond at the mouth of the stream of my concubine's house, the thatched house with cane doors and oyster powder walls; remember the deepest part of the banyan shade, and come here to eat betel nuts in your free time.
As a gift from Xiao Hanfeng, Chen Jianchen opened it and looked at it once, and he had some impressions. When he saw it, he immediately remembered it——
No, could it be that this painting was chosen as the carrier?
Chen Jianchen muttered in his heart. He didn't have time to ask any more questions. He first put away the stubborn rocks on the table, then lit the lantern, picked up the scroll again and read it carefully under the lamp.
Soon, there were footsteps outside the room, and there was a knock on the door. It was Master Ling Feng who came in. He had a look of surprise on his face and was staring blankly at Chen Jianchen, who was engrossed in reading.
Chen Jianchen turned his head and asked, "It's so late, why aren't you still sleeping?"
Master Ling Feng swallowed: "You, you didn't hit a ghost?"
Chen Jianchen looked confused: "Ghost? Where is the ghost? I didn't see it..." Then he smiled mysteriously, "...Well, I think there will be no ghosts in the old official's home in the future."
Master Ling Feng's mouth opened wide, as if he had seen a ghost. (To be continued)
