Chapter 27: There are ghosts who walk at night
Twilight has arrived, and on a country road dozens of miles away at the foot of Huaijiang Mountain, the three of them are walking together, dressed as mortals. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info followed by a fat black cat, Xiao Liu'er.
After walking for a while, Hongni stopped and lazily leaned against the trunk of the tree beside the road, wrinkled his face and complained: "This Taizhen Yuanjun is really a scourge! Every time she hits Yushan, there is a black miasma nearby, this time is good, even we are so harmed that we can't go back to our home." ”
"Lu Wu Divine Venerable just instructed the two angels to stay away, and did not mention Tao Ye. Xiao Liu'er licked her paws and dismantled the stage. Well, this mortal path is really difficult to walk, and the tips of the claws are worn out.
Hongni bounced up when he heard the words, and he was about to kick it: "Then you follow!"
"People deliver letters. Xiao Liu'er lowered her voice under her coercion and argued. It's called having a mission!
Luochen pulled the frame from the side and persuaded: "Don't make trouble, let's think about how to complete the errand." ”
"How is it done?" Ying Zhao said, not allowed to use the immortal method, and only gave a name, where to find it?" Hongni muttered dissatisfiedly, leaning back on the trunk.
Mo Ran had a bitter face beside him: "Don't let you use the immortal method, don't expose the identity of the immortal family, I don't want to leave." ”
Seeing her shouting tired, Hongni cheered up, straightened his waist and comforted: "I remember that there should be a town not far ahead." When we got to the crowded place, let's go find a place to rest. When you have enough rest, find someone to investigate slowly. ”
The three of them and one cat then hit the road again.
"Huh, you see, that shouldn't be a mortal, right?" After walking for about two or three miles, Xiao Liu'er suddenly raised her paw and pointed ahead, puzzled.
Luochen looked in the direction of the three of them, and saw that more than ten zhang away in the direction of the head-on, a young man who looked less tender than Lu Wu and Yingzhao, and whose appearance was more prominent, was walking enchantingly with a half-lowered eyebrow in his arms.
The green silk is slightly raised, the clothes are in the wind, and the unhurried stroll in the night, like stepping on the lotus, not seeing its feet. About half a mile behind the young man, a carriage was slowly galloping.
"Well, I'm afraid it's a ghost. ”
Hearing this, Mo Ran looked at the red mud and said in surprise: "Have you ever met a ghost?"
"This great immortal is above the mortal, where has he ever dealt with this thing!" "Red Clay deliberately glanced disdainfully at his feet, and said narrowly, "People in the mortal world say that wherever black cats haunt, there must be unclean things. ”
Xiao Liu'er bared her teeth when she heard this.
Seeing this, Luochen smiled and said: "Huaijiang Mountain, the top is the fairyland, and the bottom is mortal dust, and the red mud has been practicing in the mountains for hundreds of years, and I must have seen it." ”
I was seen through by this kid again!
Red mud grinned: "Hehe, there are often people who collect medicine, chop firewood or hunt under the mountainside, and occasionally they will fall to their deaths if they are greedy for high and dangerous." Ben Daxian has indeed seen one or two ghost soul locks. ”
Luochen said: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I know a thing or two. This son has no human anger, no mortal body, three souls and seven spirits, and no breath of immortal roots like you and me, and no demon primordial infant in his body, but there is a trace of imperceptible cold yin qi around his body. Come to think of it, it's probably a ghost. ”
The three of them relied on the immortal body to be brighter than mortals, and looked at the pipa boy back and forth from a distance for several rounds, and discussed for a while. But I didn't know that the young man had also cast a glance at them when they spoke, and then the corners of his lips hooked up with a light smile of unknown meaning.
After a while, the carriage traveled to the vicinity and was gently stopped by the pipa boy. After a while, the young man rode up, and the carriage moved forward again.
Luo Chen saw that the two people and a cat around him were full of curiosity, and proposed: "The Divine Venerable does not allow the use of immortal methods at will, perhaps because we are afraid that our cultivation is insufficient and we will surprise mortals by making strange things." If you recite a trick of invisibility to deceive mortals, it will probably be fine. Why don't you go up and see what he's going to do?"
These words hit the nail on the head, and several of them immediately covered their bodies together and met the carriage to find out.
Soon after the boy got into the car, there was a melodious sound of the pipa falling jade. The driver was a young man with a slightly cold and rigid expression, and he could listen to the music pleasantly, and when he turned his head to look at the young man, he also showed a hint of gentleness.
After doing so for about twenty or thirty miles, the tune changed for a full dozen or so songs, and none of them were repeated.
The horse stopped, and the young man got out of the car with Nana in his arms, and turned to the coachman and leaned slightly, as if to salute and thank him. However, I don't know what the young man did or said, but the coachman's face suddenly changed dramatically, and he looked very frightened.
The boy straightened up, smiled casually, and then playfully stuck out his tongue at him and turned away.
The carriage spun around sharply, turned around and galloped away.
"What the hell did he do to scare people like this?"
A few people muttered, and then looked at the young man, but the music of the pipa was still in his ears, and the trace was nowhere to be found.
Luochen looked at the galloping carriage and was slightly worried: "Let's look at the coachman, don't make any more accidents." ”
The three of them and the cat then caught up with the carriage again, and secretly recited a few words to the horse to calm it down, and the carriage resumed its slow manner. Originally, he was going to the crowded town, but at this moment, he was in the same direction as the carriage that had turned around, and in order to prevent the coachman from making any more mistakes at night, he simply followed closely behind and guarded.
In this way, the light and darkness accompanied each other for only ten miles, and the carriage was blocked and asked to be carried.
This time, the person who stopped the carriage was a half-hundred-year-old, dressed in a short coat and cloth, and looked like a farmer, which was very different from the previous pipa boy. Unfortunately, in addition to the appearance, it is similar to the young man, and there is no breath of life, and he is suspected of being a ghost.
The three of them and one cat couldn't help but lament for the coachman, and they didn't know if he had committed Tai Sui and was so unlucky.
Red Clay asked, "Shall we stop that old ghost?"
Luochen shook his head: "You and I don't know the method of soul binding, so I may not be able to subdue him." If the ghost is not malicious, it is not good to be provoked. We might as well watch from the sidelines, and if there is an accident, it will not be too late to protect the coachman. ”
The coachman was obviously wary of the previous fright, and did not dare to carry or refuse, so he only found many excuses to maneuver.
The old farmer negotiated with him for a long time, and although it was a little difficult, he finally got into his car.
After galloping for a while, the coachman saw that the old farmer was fine, and secretly exchanged a few words with him. The old farmer replied with courtesy, and then talked about many anecdotes about the countryside to himself, and seemed to be very talkative.
The coachman listened interestingly, and his suspicions gradually disappeared, and he began to talk with him without a match.
After chatting about familiarity, the driver explained a little apologetically: "I hope the old man will forgive me for being rude." You asked for it, and I didn't mean to, because I was a little overwhelmed by some of the previous incidents. ”
"Oh?" asked the old farmer, "why?"
"Alas, the old man doesn't know that I have been frightened to death by a strange incident before. The coachman then told the old peasant about the section of the pipa boy hitchhiking, and at the end he sighed in disbelief, "Obviously shocking to the heavens, and good at workmanship, the drum is like a fairy sound, how do you know, it is a wandering ghost!"
The old farmer laughed twice at this time, and replied quietly: "I am also good at the piano." Immediately, before he had time to wait for a few reactions from the dust, his honest face changed suddenly, his eyes fell out of his eyes, his mouth rolled out of his tongue, and he grew to the surface of his feet.
The coachman immediately convulsed and died of fright.
