Four

Hu Niangzi didn't know what the ancestor was going to do when he went down the mountain, at first she thought that the ancestor had taken a fancy to the spirit of a strange person and wanted to receive it in person. She also guessed if the ancestor had fallen in love with which sister was going to welcome home, and her fox ears couldn't help but tremble when she thought of this possibility.

However, contrary to her imagination, since the ancestor came down the mountain, he has neither troubled any monk nor Taoist, nor approached any woman.

He looked the same as when he was on the mountain, and he still took an hour every day to visit the Buddha and read the scriptures, as if he had just changed the location of the retreat. At this time, Hu Niangzi would bury her head in her tail to avoid looking at the Buddhist scriptures that made her feel uncomfortable.

At dawn, the ancestor will take off the first wisp of green cloud purple qi and merge into the purple mansion, and when the night comes, he will bathe his whole body under the moonlight, except for the essence of the sun and the moon, the ancestor will no longer accept any tonic things. She knew that the ancestor didn't like to steal the blood of the people now, but even if she caught the pheasant and hare and roasted them and offered them to him, the ancestor wouldn't touch a bite.

The Ancestor would only say, "Eat it yourself, don't worry about me." 」

How dare Hu Niangzi leave her ancestor behind and eat happily on the side.

However, her cultivation has not yet reached the level where she can open up the valley, and after holding on for a while, she has to put aside this concern for the time being.

After a long time, she also found that the ancestor really didn't care about these things. He would sometimes point to a plant as he passed by, telling her that she could pick some of its seeds and leaves and sprinkle them on the next barbecue to make it taste better.

After trying it, Hu Niangzi found that what the ancestor said was true.

She didn't expect that a dustless demon like Lao Zu would understand such a trivial matter. If the ancestor wants to satisfy the appetite, there are countless ghost servants and demon slaves rushing to serve, this kind of little knowledge that can neither improve cultivation nor increase demon power, where does the tired ancestor need to understand it personally?

The ancestor is a stone demon, and she knows how to deal with meat better than her fox demon, and Hu Niangzi said, "The ancestor knows a lot, and the concubine is ashamed to be a fox demon. 」

Qiao Heng said slowly, "When you live like me for so long, many things will naturally be known. 」

Hu Niangzi thinks this makes sense, the ancestor is a thousand-year-old demon, don't look at him now concentrating on Buddha, meat is not stained, oil and salt are not entered, but in the past thousand years, who knows what he has experienced, maybe he used to play the game of the world as the book said, and enjoyed the life of pulp and wine and meat, drunk and gold in the mortal world.

But what Hu Niangzi is sure of is that it must not be the first time that the ancestor has pretended to be a mortal.

She nestled in the arms of the ancestor, holding the tail to cover her body, this slightly warm embrace almost made her want to sleep like this, but in her memory, the ancestor's body should be cold, with a cold atmosphere.

He actually took this little detail into account.

Qiao Heng walked on the street with the fox in his arms.

After living in the gloomy and cold mountains for a long time, Hu Niangzi is a little uncomfortable with the bustle in the mundane market.

There are all sorts of banners hanging under the plaques of the shops on the street, and you can hear the noise coming from inside when you pass by the tavern. The bearer in a hurry turned his body sideways and weaved through the pedestrians who came and went. Ah Niang, who sold wontons, lifted the lid of the pot, and the steaming heat immediately filled the grass shed, and Hu Niangzi subconsciously sniffed with her nose.

The man with the child sitting on his shoulder passed by them, and the little boy turned his head and looked at the red fox in Qiao Heng's arms with wide eyes.

"Red puppy!"

The child's father smiled and said, "It's a fox. 」

Qiao Heng looks like a foreign son who holds his own pet and comes out to play and visit relatives and friends.

This kind of rich boy who comes from other places alone can attract the attention of scoundrels who are not doing their jobs the most, and the other party came to Qiao Heng to swagger and deceive, and before Hu Niangzi could take a bite, he saw that the ancestor had already glanced at the visitor. This man seemed to be enchanted, he stood still and could not move, sweating profusely and soaking through his clothes, and he was probably going to be sick when he returned home.

They didn't stay in the city for a long time, Hu Niangzi followed the ancestor to many places, from this city, to that village, and then she finally decided, the ancestor

This time I went down the mountain to find certain people.

The ancestor can tell the other party's name, or even the home address, but when the ancestor takes her to find it, she can't find the main owner. When I asked my neighbors, the answers I got came and went just a few words.

"This junior, I'm afraid you've found the wrong place, we don't have this person here. 」

Qiao Heng said, "I'm sorry, I'll go somewhere else. 」

"It's true that there is such a person, but he has been buried for an unknown number of years. Are you sure he's the one you're looking for?"

Qiao Heng: "...... Maybe I misremembered the name, thank you. 」

Hu Niangzi didn't know why Lao Zu was looking for these people, and she didn't know what the relationship between these people and Lao Zu was, maybe they were friends, or enemies, and they returned again and again in vain, although Lao Zu didn't show it on his face, but Hu Niangzi still felt that Lao Zu was a little stunned.

She said, "Who is the ancestor looking for? The concubine can also help find it together. 」

Qiao Heng said, "No need, I didn't come at the right time and couldn't find it. 」

In fact, he felt that he was telling the truth, and probably no one believed him.

If you really want to talk about it in detail, you can't bypass the book Strange Tales of Liaozhai.

The stories in the book are so bizarre, in addition to monsters, ghosts, and high-ranking people, there are gods on their heads.

This is a world with a netherworld.

In this life, there is a king of Yama.

And what he was looking for was the Yama who had appeared in the book.

What is the legendary Yama like since ancient times?

He is the fifth temple of the underworld in the underworld, born with a dragon and a mighty swallow, a person who distinguishes between good and evil, and acts harshly, and the people respect and fear him, half god and half ghost.

But the image of Yama in Liaozhai is even more approachable than these descriptions. Yama Luo walked the world with a mortal body, he may have been a talent named Li Zhongzhi in Laiwu, Shandong, or a Wei surnamed Wei in the imperial court who was responsible for escorting grain and grass......

Some people say that it is the incarnation and reincarnation of Yama in the mortal world, and some people think that the person called Yama is a mortal himself, but he was temporarily captured by the underworld to handle the official affairs of the underworld on behalf of Yama.

However, in any case, the Yama in Liaozhai is more human than the legendary Him.

Humanity means that the other party can communicate.

As long as he is allowed to see this Yama, who is in charge of the reincarnation of thousands of living beings and the longevity of yin and yang, won't all his current problems be solved?

So he followed the clues left in the story and searched for the traces of Yama one by one. Not only that, but he even expanded his target to people who had connections with Yin officials and ghosts.

But when he came to the door, he found that the time he had traveled over was too unfortunate, and the characters who had appeared in these books had either passed away or had never been born at all, and there was no certainty whether there would be their "stories" in this world in the future.

Qiao Heng thought about it, what else did he not go to.

Then he took Mrs. Hu to Lingyang.

He remembered that there was a Hall of Ten Kings in Lingyang, and there were many ghosts and gods in the hall, and there was a judge Lu who had appeared in the mortal world. This Judge Lu is not a particularly fair and honest character, he first changed a smart heart for his scholar's friend, and then helped the scholar's wife change a beautiful head, which is quite "flexible".

After Qiao Heng arrived in Lingyang, he learned from the local population that the Ten Kings Palace had already been destroyed in the turmoil of the previous dynasty.

Qiao Heng stood in the ruins of the Ten Kings Hall and stopped for a long time.

The fox curled up at his feet, rubbed her legs, and when she saw that the ancestor did not react, she did not dare to move.

Qiao Heng thought to himself: There is really no shortcut in this world, and it is better to rely on yourself if you put your hope on the gods.

The weather in Lingyang has been bad in the past few days, and the sky is sometimes covered with dark clouds and rain. After Qiao Heng noticed the wetness that suddenly fell on the back of his hand, he understood that it was going to rain again.

He was now using a body transformed into a mountain, but it didn't matter if he was drenched or not

Rain, after thinking about it, I remembered that there was still Hu Niangzi who was sealed by him with demonic power.

He bent down and scooped it into his arms, then turned and left the ruins of the Ten Kings Palace.

The rain had not yet become heavier, and it took a long time for a raindrop to fall from the sky, but the sky had completely darkened, and I thought that the rain would be pouring down.

The sun was firmly covered by heavy clouds, the yang energy was declining and the yin energy was flourishing, Qiao Heng could feel a fierce qi quietly emerging in his body, and he silently recited the Heart Sutra to restore the demonic power to calm.

Qiao Heng walked unhurriedly, he didn't feel tired, but was refreshed because of the power of the leylines that spread from the soles of his feet, a feeling that he had been difficult to experience before. This gentle and heavy breath that seemed to be born from the same origin slowly circulated in his body, soothing the discomfort caused by his demonic restlessness.

A carriage drove behind him, and the sound of wheels crashing against the road stopped abruptly around him.

A young female voice came from the carriage, "This gentleman wait a moment. I see that this rain is about to fall heavily, since you and I are traveling in the same direction, if Lang Jun doesn't mind, you might as well get in the car first, and I will send Lang Jun to the town. This voice is gentle and kind, and people can't help but feel good when they hear it.

Hearing this voice, Hu Niangzi, who was originally shrunk into a ball, suddenly erected a fox ear.

The curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, revealing the woman sitting inside. She wore a woman's bun, but at most she was in her early twenties, her eyes were gentle and close, the corners of her lips were smiling, and a tassel hairpin was inserted in her hair.

In the next moment, Hu Niangzi almost exploded all over her body, and when the woman sitting in the compartment lifted the curtain, the first step she took in was not the woman who was similar to the figure she imagined, but the evil aura that surrounded her like a substance.

Where is this lady of a rich and noble family, obviously a ghost who ran from nowhere!

Even when she went to Lanruo Temple, she had never felt such a thick and dark ghostly aura.

As soon as she wanted to send a police call, she was gently pinched by the ancestor on the neck, so she had to swallow her voice back and continue to be an ordinary fox who couldn't speak.

Seeing that Qiao Heng didn't speak, the woman in the compartment thought he was hesitating, so she continued to persuade: "Lang Jun, come up, parents who are affected by the body, what should I do if I catch a cold in the rain?"

Qiao Heng responded, "Thank you for this lady's kindness, Mrs. Lao has given me a ride. 」

After Qiao Heng sat down in the carriage, the coachman threw down the whip and the carriage moved.

The woman asked, "I heard Lang Jun's accent and he is not a local, how did Lang Jun come to such a remote place alone? 」

Qiao Heng said, "I came here to look for someone, but unfortunately the other party is no longer here. 」

When he spoke, his words were clear and gentle, and he was holding a fox in his arms as a pet, and the whole person looked very harmless. He has a fair complexion, and at first glance, he knows that he has not experienced much wind and sun, and he doesn't know which Yushu Langjun came out of the Zhumen.

The woman comforted a few words, and then asked, "Meeting is fate, I don't know what Lang Jun is called?"

Qiao Heng said honestly, "They usually call me Ancestor. 」

The name sounds so strange that you can't figure out what two words are combined. And the way he introduces himself is also very peculiar, he does not introduce himself from his own point of view, but how others call him.

"Ancestor?"

Qiao Heng said, "Well, they call me the Black Mountain Ancestor. 」

Of course the woman had heard of this name, the name of the ancestor of Montenegro was in the ears of many demons and ghosts, how loud it was, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was terrifying.

However, the other party is just a mortal, where did he hear this name?

In the next second, the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.

The strange demonic aura covered all her breath, and the demonic aura was full of majesty and coldness. The moment she felt this demonic power, it was as if there was monstrous blood rushing to her face, like Yue Ruhai, and any demon was as small as dust in front of him.

The author has something to say: Joe

Heng couldn't find anyone and was unhappy, but he didn't say anything in his heart......
