Chapter 26: She's Gone (3)
"Let me tell you"!
The village chief and a few hunters slowly appeared behind Chu Xuanji, and then sighed and said, "This story is a little sad......
Chu Xuanji and Linglong glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that this matter was a little strange, the village chief must have hidden something, and then nodded and motioned the village chief to continue.
The village chief looked up at the sky, stood with his hands in his hands, and opened his mouth, and the past came with the wind......
"Lingnan Village" has a population of 100 people, of which "sixty percent" is dependent on hunting for a living, among which there is such a family surnamed "Mu" Orion, the head of the household is named "Mu Chuan", and his ancestors have walked out of a person who cultivates immortals.
However, the opportunity was not enough, and he failed to prove the way of heaven and ascended to become an immortal, but he left a "antler longbow" called "Broken Sun" for future generations, the bow is three feet and three inches long.
The bow arm is taken from a "10,000-year-old purple leaf green bamboo" in the wilderness, and the bowstring with "the head horn of the demon deer running thunder" on both sides is made of a tendon of a "hundred-year-old evil Jiao".
It can wear gold and stone, it can punish demons, it can fly thousands of miles, and it is extremely powerful, but only the bloodline of the Mu family can pull away this "antler longbow" with the power of divine power.
But thanks to the blessing of the ancestors, the Mu family has always relied on this "Broken Sun" divine bow and won the respect of several generations of the world, but in Mu Chuan's generation, he encountered a tragic family downfall, and finally had to sell the house in the city and moved back to Qingfengling.
With the passage of time, the spiritual power of this bow gradually lost, and its power was greatly reduced, but the residual power still existed, and it still killed many demons who caused trouble in the village.
Mu Chuan, as the hero of this village, naturally had the explicit hint of the "spring girl", and soon fell in love for life.
The woman's surname is "Jiang", the word "Congling", although the Congling girl does not say that it is "the national color and natural fragrance", but she is also born "Chu Chu moving".
The two looked at each other for a moment, as if the heavens and the earth had fallen into nothingness, leaving only the person in front of them.
After the two got married, they had a son, named "Mu Wen", the child was stubborn by nature, and often made trouble in the village was "chickens flying and dogs jumping", but he was also courageous, and he dared to go into the mountains to play alone at the age of eight or nine.
There is a group of "Qingyan ghosts" living in the mountains, they are gentle by nature, but their IQ is not too high, and the intelligence of adult ghosts and demons is the same as that of human children who are seven or eight years old.
While they are born with a face that inspires awe of all things, demons also possess a kindness that does not match their vicious appearance, and they often offer to help those in need. He is also known as the "child of the mountain god"
But the kindness of ghosts and demons is only based on the condition of mutual non-aggression......
It is said that one day, Mu Chuan's son, "Mu Wen", as usual, chased and played with several friends in the mountains, and suddenly, he met a "face" with a group of "Qingyan ghosts" who were also running.
Both sides were stunned, and they both hid in a hurry, and Mu Wen, who was hiding in the grass, gently opened a gap with both hands and secretly looked in the direction of the stones.
And the "ghosts" hiding behind a boulder are also holding on to the edge of the stone with two paws, carefully looking at the grass.
At this time, "Mu Wen" was very calm, "Hey, it's okay, I heard my father say that Qingyan ghosts and demons are not harmful," he whispered to comfort his companion, and at the same time looked out with his head probed.
"Why don't you dare to go out?" a companion questioned with a crying voice,
"I, I don't know if it's a Qingyan ghost! After all, I've only heard about it, and I haven't seen it. ”
"What then, just keep consuming?" another companion asked.
Mu Wen was a little irritable and said, "Ask me, where do I know where to go?"
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to run to such a deep place!"
"That's it, that's it, you said it's safe here, we just came here, what do you say about it now?"
Seeing that his companions had put the blame on his head, Mu Wen was a little angry and said, "When did I say this?
At this time, an older child said, "Alright, alright, don't complain, let's find a way to leave first, see if they're gone?"
"Cut", Mu Wen glanced at those people with some disdain, then turned his head to look out again, this look didn't matter, I saw that the hair on his whole body was like being struck by lightning, all of them stood up one by one, and then he turned around and ran away with a shout.
The companions behind him were also frightened by his scream, and they all cried and cried, and fled with him.
And the ghost who came forward stood up, looked at the group of people who fled with screams in confusion, and turned to grin at the few ghosts who were shrinking next to the boulder.
"It's so unrighteous!" said a child who shook his own wet-soaked pants with palpitations.
Then he got the echo of the other companions, "That's it, that's it, and he said that he was bold, and he was the first to run!"
At this time, Mu Wen, who was running at the front, was holding his knees with his hands, gasping for breath, and after hearing these words, he almost didn't fall in one breath.
Then he blushed, "Okay, okay, okay, this matter can't just be left like this, do you dare to retaliate against them?!"
"Cut", you have to go yourself, we don't want to be cheated by you again.
Seeing that his prestige was about to plummet, Mu Wen was also anxious at the moment, and then hurriedly defended, "I'm not mentally prepared,
Not to mention a monster, even if it's a person, you can be startled if he suddenly appears.
Then he said in a mocking tone, "Why are you afraid? I know you don't dare,"
Originally, this sentence was also to save his face, but the birth calf is not afraid of tigers,
What's more, they are all descendants of hunters, and Mu Wen's words finally ignited the unyielding bloodiness in their blood.
So, everyone agreed to bring their equipment tomorrow and go to shame before the snow.
In the afternoon of the next day, a group of children with slingshots, shovels, animal clips, and bows and arrows walked into the mountains with majestic and high-spirited spirits, but this time they never returned.
Mu Chuan and the villagers of the whole village, holding torches high, searched all over the mountains, shouted, and searched all night, just when everyone was physically and mentally exhausted and about to leave,
Someone found a pool of blood on the ground, and everyone followed the blood trail forward, and after a while, they saw several feathered arrows stuck diagonally in the dirt in front of them.
I didn't go far, and I found a few more potholes, more than a meter deep, surrounded by "bloodstains," a mess,
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all hurriedly drew their blades and scattered, at this time someone signaled everyone not to make a sound, only to hear a faint cry for help intermittently came.
Everyone looked at each other, and then carefully searched around, and soon, someone found a child covered in blood in a bush.
After the child was rescued, someone in the crowd lamented, "I'm afraid that the other children are also unlucky." ”
At this time, someone stroked the marks on the ground and said in surprise, "This ...... This seems to be the traces left by the Qingyan Ghost!"
"Could it be that the Qingyan ghost killed those children? But it doesn't make sense?"
Immediately after that, someone said, "Judging from the traces on the ground, except for the children's, it is the Qingyan ghosts, as for what happened, wait for the child to wake up and ask." ”
At this time, someone patted Mu Chuan's shoulder, "Miss Congling is pregnant again at this time, if you tell her this unfortunate news, I'm afraid something will happen."
Mu Chuan was silent for a while, turned his head to everyone, and said firmly, "Everyone, Xiao'er's life and death are unknown now, I must not just go back, even if he is really killed, I must see the corpse."
Then he pleaded, "Wife Ling'er, I hope you will take care of one or two more." ”
Mu Chuan also left and never came back.
It didn't take long for Jiang Congling to die after giving birth to a "monster".
Chu Xuanji didn't react when she heard this, but asked lightly, "So, this monster is that Mu Chuan's youngest son?"
Then he wondered, "Then why do you want to get rid of him, just because he's too noisy?"
At this moment, the Linglong girl was a little sad and said, "It's so pitiful, before I died, I didn't even see the last face of my beloved, so I left alone."
Chu Xuanji glanced at Linglong and then asked, "And what does it mean by 'she's gone'?"
The village chief smiled bitterly and explained, "At first, we all thought that this child was suffering from some strange disease, but more and more we found out that this is a Qingyan ghost!,
Later, I asked a Taoist who traveled to the party, and he said that it was a "curse of demons", a "reincarnation curse" that could only be activated before they died.
This "curse" has a certain chance of regenerating them, but it basically takes shape and scatters their gods.
And there is a reason to get rid of it, not only because it fell in love with a human being, but because of what it did next.
Having learned that it did not belong to humans, the villagers decided to throw it into the mountains.
One day a few years later, a little girl was picking mushrooms, she met this ghost, but there were always children who were not afraid of these things, and the little girl was very fierce by nature, and she screamed in a daze, and beat the ghost before leaving.
It was supposed to be the end of the matter, but the next day, the little girl came again, still humming a little tune while picking mushrooms, and by chance, the two met again.
But this time, the girl didn't choose to do it, but beckoned, "I've heard about you, it's really pitiful, it should be lonely here, right?"
But the demon didn't understand what she was saying, but just stood there with her head tilted, and the girl smiled when she saw this, and continued to pick the mushrooms with her head down.
Before leaving, the girl saw that it was still standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and then took out an apple from her satchel and said, "Hey"!
Seeing that, the demon hesitated and raised his hand, then retracted and took a few steps back.
Seeing this, the girl was a little angry and said, "Cut, don't eat and pull down, I didn't poison you!" As she spoke, she took a big bite of the apple in her hand, and turned her head to leave with a "hum."
The demon was startled by her action, and turned around and fled in a panic, and the girl turned her head and was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Interesting, interesting," but the apple crumbs in her mouth fell to the ground...
And after a long time, the ghost gradually became familiar with this girl.
"You don't have any friends, I don't have any, do you think we're sick and sick?"
The girl looked at the ghost beside her who was holding a bunch of apples, and said,
The demon tilted his head, and lifted the apple in his arms up again.
"I don't like apples, don't pick so much, look, they're not ripe yet. ”
But as she grew older, the girl's psychology changed somewhat, and I don't know when this girl-like girl began to become gentle, the reason is that she has a favorite person, and the power of love is nothing less than powerful.
Gradually, the number of times I went up the mountain began to decrease, and every time I went up the mountain, the most talked about with the ghosts and demons was to talk about a strange man.
The ghost seems to understand something, and it seems to have some understanding, maybe it is just a "special" friend to the girl, and the girl is its whole world to the ghost.
The demon was a little irritable, and it probably understood that no girl would fall in love with an ugly youkai, but it was afraid that it would lose its only companion.
Chu Xuanji suddenly said, "So, it killed people"?
"Yes," the village chief said helplessly, "It killed someone, and the girl was also scared, so she asked us for help, but the girl's family had secretly married her to the son of the county lord, "Zhu Wende"
"But I'm afraid that one day it will know, but I can't let it hurt innocent lives again."
The delicate girl lamented at this moment, "What a pitiful ......"
"Pitiful, the man who was killed is called pitiful, right?!" Chu Xuanji glanced at Linglong and interrupted.
"Hmph"! Linglong glanced at Chu Xuanji, then turned around and wiped away her tears alone,
"Since that's the case, it's easy to do, then I'll eliminate the harm for the people now!"
After Chu Xuanji finished speaking, a flash of thunder flashed in his eyes, and the long sword stabbed downward, but then stopped again, and then shook his head and said, "Just let it, goodbye to that girl for the last time."
The village chief was stunned when he heard this, and said, "The immortals are very good"!
After learning where the girl lives now,
Chu Xuanji's figure flickered, and he came to a mansion, raised his hand and knocked on the door, but after the person inside opened the door, he said loudly, "Hey"! Why are you!
Chu Xuanji was also stunned, and after a closer look, he found that this person was actually one of the people who was making fun of him on the downtown street.
Then, another girl came out of it,
Chu Xuanji looked at the girl, then at the man, shook her head and said, "It's a pity, how could the girl be with such a person?"
"Hey"! Be careful when you speak! What's wrong with me? It's better than you charlatan, right?
"Besides, don't look where this is"!
Chu Xuanji held her mouth disdainfully and said, "A little yamen, what can you do to me?"
When the man heard this, he was furious and said, "You want to rebel!
"Okay", stop shouting, where is there anyone here?
The "Zhu Wende" looked around in horror and said, "Where is this?!"
The ghost raised his head, screamed in surprise, and then picked up the apple in a panic, raised it high with joy in his eyes, and ran towards the girl in a hurry.
"Zhu Wende" beside the girl then exclaimed, "What the hell is this!" "Quick! Hurry! What are you doing in a daze! Kill it! Kill it!"
But no one was present to pay attention to him, and the girl took the apple gently with tears in her eyes.
"Don't eat, don't eat!" Chu Xuanji then hurriedly exclaimed,
But the girl still took a bite,
"Uh......" Chu Xuanji was a little uncomfortable, and then couldn't bear to say, "Forget it,"
When the "Zhu Wende" saw this, he scolded viciously, "Bah! It's really disgusting! What do you have to do with this ugly bastard! Don't tell the truth, be careful that I will send someone to arrest your whole family tomorrow!"
Chu Xuanji shook her head disdainfully and said, "I see that your Yin Tang is black, I'm afraid you won't live long, so it's better to be careful yourself,"
"Zhu Wende" had lost his mind at this moment, so he scolded, "! Looking for death?" As he spoke, he pounced on Chu Xuanji, but as soon as Chu Xuanji flashed, Zhu Wende fell down the hillside......
"Alas~" I have already reminded you, disobedient, disobedient,
"What should I do now?" Although Chu Xuanji was not afraid, several villagers were a little worried, Yanai died here, I am afraid that the village will not be clear.
Chu Xuanji frowned at this moment, grabbed the ghost demon, and a purple mark instantly lit up in the center of his eyebrows, and then slammed his palm on the top of the ghost demon's head.
Then he grabbed a yellow ray from the top of the demon's head and jumped down the hillside.
After a while, he returned to the hillside with the dazed Yanai "Zhu Wende", "Okay, let's live a good life,"
After speaking, he picked up the delicate girl, left behind the people with doubts on their faces, and galloped towards the sky.
At this time, two gray figures slowly appeared on the ground, and they looked coldly at Chu Xuanji who was flying away and said, "This guy is actually doing these famous halls here again", is it really a decoration of the "underworld"?
"Do you want to tell Jizo King"?
"Hmph" He now has an immortal body, and his soul still has the "power of the rules of heaven", even if he is killed, he will not be able to pull into the "underworld", but unfortunately he is only reincarnated in the heavenly way now,
"Count him as fast as he runs, or let him reincarnate again!"
After saying that, the two of them looked at the wandering soul, sneered, shook out a chain from their cuffs, and shouted, "Zhu Wende!" The hour has come! Let's get on the road! Then the chains went away like a spiritual snake......
