"Yami, didn't I tell you not to bring strangers home?"

"Ahh I'm sorry grandpa, but he did help me during the day, and besides, Tsukime is a nice guy!"

"Shut up! The people out there are very cunning. If they had been specially disguised in advance, it could have brought us absolute disaster, and that mountain is an example, isn't that an example?" said the old man, his eyebrows furrowed, his fists clenched, and he stared at the group of Tsukime.

"I'm sorry... ”

"Cut, that mountain, it's our Lingmu Mountain. Tsukime seemed to understand the meaning of what they were talking about, and his eyes became extremely sharp at this point.

"Oh, you're from Lingmu Mountain?" Looking at this group of young men, Shou Ming was a little suspicious at first, but when he saw the seal mark on the back of Yueme's hand, he let go of this scruple. He also somewhat understood the reason why Xiu Lao was no longer willing to go out of the mountain easily and take the initiative to meet people after the incident of the Ghost King - maybe he was blaming himself, or maybe it was for the sake of this child.

"It seems that you are indeed from Lingmu Mountain, sorry, please forgive me for being rude just now. At this time, Tsukime's eyes slowly softened.

"By the way, you know Elder Xiu, right?"

"Of course, our dearest and kindest grandfather. Yushi said hurriedly on the side.

"By the way, Grandpa Shouming, why are you here?" Yami looked very surprised, Tang Ze Shouming has always disliked contact with outsiders.

"Well, since the proud protégés of the old man have all come, I have to come and see it. How's it going, is the old man still alive?"

"Hey, you guy, you were so disrespectful to Elder Xiu as soon as you came up. Are you looking for a fight?" the red hair was furious.

"Hmph, just a few of you little hairy children, I can't afford to be interested. When I come to repair, I'm willing to move my muscles and bones. ”

"Damn..."Just as the red hair wanted to rush up, he was stopped by Tsukime.

"Hey, redhead, don't provoke him, this guy is strong. ”

"Hahaha, it seems that this young man still knows each other, go back and tell the old man that if you want to fight, I will accompany you at any time. ”

"So, next. Shou Ming put on his black gloves. The nerves of the three ghosts of Tsukime, Red Hair, and Yushi instantly tensed.

"Grandpa Shouming..."Yamiana, they also looked nervously.

"Please come in. ”

"Alas?!!!!"

“......”

Shou Ming took the ghosts around the cold mountain. There were a few black crows playing tricks on each other in the treetops with their heads drooping. Ordinary people must not imagine that there is indeed a presence in the cemetery at night that they can't see, and they are still walking leisurely, even if they are told that they can only be half-convinced!

"Well, our Yuhan Mountain is more magnificent than yours! This is a place where many big families come to bury. And the yin qi is abundant, and the environment is excellent. ”

"Having said that, I still think Lingmu Mountain is more warm. Redhead muttered to the side.

After all, in the previous life, we were all human beings, and everyone would think that staying in their own home was the best. After knowing their origins, the old gentleman became extremely hospitable, but this also made Yana and the others a little confused.

"Hey, Takigawa, don't you think Grandpa Shouming has become extraordinarily kind today? It's completely different from the usual serious him!" Xia Nai covered her mouth and said to Takikawa next to her.

"It's really weird. ”

At this time, Corkis suddenly said: "Don't be surprised, don't you see that Old Man Shouming became like this when he knew the identities of those people?"

"Yes... Yet!"

In other words, Old Man Shouming must have an inseparable affection with Ling Mushan and the old man in his mouth, otherwise he would not have become so enthusiastic. And, remember, when the old man was alone, he would often stand in the same place on the hillside and look into the distance, and I wondered what it would be in the direction of the south? ”

"I see. Yana continued, "That's... What is the relationship between Grandpa Shouming and that cultivator!"

"I don't know about this, he didn't mention it to the old man, let's not be easy to ask, seeing that he is usually so serious, it's too late to hide from him!"

"Hehehe... That's right!"

At that moment, the pile of grass under a tree in front of them jerked a few times. "Oops... It hurts, it hurts. "The man hiding behind a tree looked like he had tripped over something.

"Alas???" All the ghosts were attracted by this movement.

"Tizhen, now that you've been discovered, you don't have to hide. Shou Ming shouted.

"Uh... And yes!" It was only when Tsujin cautiously stepped out of the bushes that everyone could see him clearly—the boy was wearing a pair of high-altitude glasses, his hair was a little messy, he was wearing a white shirt with sky-blue suspender bell-bottoms, and he was holding a book in his hand, as if he was studying something.

"Another human soul!" Tsukime muttered involuntarily.

"Human... Soul?" Red Hair and Yushi looked at with some hesitation.

"I met two of them when I went out during the day today, and I didn't expect to meet them again here tonight, human souls. ”

Shou Ming walked up to Tsutsujin, "This is Tsutsujin, who has come to our Yuhan Mountain a long time ago to study the affairs of ghosts and human souls. Come, say hello to your new friends. ”

"You... Hello~"

"Hello. ”

"He usually does research on his own and hasn't had much contact with people, so he is always so shy in front of people, don't be surprised. ”

At this time, Tsutsujin discovered the seal mark on the back of Tsukime's hand. "Is this the curse of the Ghost King?!"

"Alas, the Ghost King, I didn't expect that you are the one who was cursed by the Ghost King in Lingmu Mountain?"

"Curse?" Yami seemed to remember something, it turned out that this was the boy who was cursed by the ghost king in the story of Lingmu Mountain that Shouming had been telling them before, and today she finally saw me, she looked at Yuemu with some worry, and said, "Is there no way to lift this curse?"

"I don't know, maybe... I guess I'll be able to find a way to go to City B. ”

"City B?"

"Well, it might be possible to go to City B. Tsutsujin pushed his loose glasses, "I remember seeing it at a ghost grocery store in City B, there is a potion that can drive away the curse of the ghost king, but... That was many years ago, and I don't know if there is still that store now. ”

"Let's go check it out. Yami said suddenly.

"Hey?!Sister, why are you so concerned about this matter, could it be that you have taken a fancy to this kid. ”

"How...... How could it be ......" Yami was a little overwhelmed by Yana's question.

"Well, let's go check it out. This unstable force has been sealed in my body for a long time, and it's time to put an end to it. Tsukime stared at the seal on the back of his hand and said categorically.

"Hmm... I'm not against it, but, old man Xiu, will he agree to you going?" Shou Ming said, touching his beard.

"I think, since he has found a glimmer of hope, then his old man should not stop him!"

"Well, too. ”

"Then go, go, go!" Yami said hurriedly.

"Sister, are you going to go with you?", Yana looked at Yami anxiously.

"yes, after all, he helped me. Yami turned her head slightly to look at the moon, "Is it okay?" At this time, her eyes were full of worry and faintly mixed with a hint of anticipation, which made her look even more touching, and it was really hard for people to refuse.

"Well, I don't mind. All right. Tsukime scratched her head.

Hearing Tsukime's reply, Yami's face was happy, but at the same time, a touch of rosy appeared on her lovely cheeks, just because the moonlight at night was too dark for no one to see.

"Please allow me to follow you, I can roughly remember where I can help you. Tsutsujin said seriously.

"Okay, thank you. ”

"Ah, Tsukime, what should I do if you go, I can't stand the sun's rays yet!" Red Hair shouted.

"Well, I think I have a way to help you with this question. At this time, Shou Ming first took off the black glove on his left hand, and then took off a ring from his finger with a dark purple center and a blood-red pattern around it. "This was given to me by an old friend of mine when I was your age, and you can put it on and you can move freely in the light. ”

"Oh, this ring. ”

"Grandpa, this is what you cherish the most, why did you give it to them as soon as you met. Xia Nai and the other two ghosts said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's okay, the ring isn't of much use to me right now, and this teenager who looks like he needs it more than I do. ”

"But..."

"Forget it, old man, I still don't want this thing if it's too valuable. Redhead hurriedly waved his hand and took two steps back.

"It's okay, it's okay, just come back to me when you get home from your cultivation!"

"That's... Thank you!" the red hair took the ring and slowly put it on. Yushi, who was standing on the side, looked at it with envy, "That...... Is there any..."

"Ahh Sorry boy, that's all I have. ”

"That's it..."Yushi was a little disappointed, but these expressions were all seen by Tsukime.

"Well, let's go tomorrow. Yami said.

"Hmm. ”

"Then, I, Tang Ze Shouming, will wish you a smooth journey first. ”

When Tsukime and the others left, Yana ran to Yami's side and smiled evilly: "Sister, tell me, tell me, do you have a crush on that guy just now?" ”

"Don't make a fuss, Yana. ”

"Roar, roar, sister, why are you so red. Sure enough, I guessed it right. ”

"Yana!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say any more, hee-hee. ”

"Girl. Shou Ming suddenly became serious, "The things that this kid carries are much heavier than you think, if you really like him, you have to pick up this burden with him, move forward with him, and continue to help him on this long road." Do you understand?"

"Well... I understand. ”

"It's good to be young! The sweetness of love can really overcome any difficulty!" he continued, "I have a hunch that this child's future will not be too simple." Shou Ming put his hands behind his back and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "Elder Xiu, they are all gone, you don't want to hide anymore!"

"Huh?!"

"Haha, I deliberately hid it, but I was discovered by you old fellow. Xiu Lao slowly appeared from the air, and it turned out that he had been invisible all along!

"Old fellow, I thought you wouldn't come out all the time, and I was planning to take some time to see you!"

"Well, I can't stand it anymore and still have to come out and walk around, hahaha. Besides, don't come, it's not like you don't know that I'm a person who is afraid of trouble, and I don't like outsiders to disturb me!"

"So, what are you here for?

"Okay, you and I have been fighting all my life and have not come up with any winners and losers, so forget it, forget it. Xiu Lao waved his hand, spit out a puff of smoke rings and continued: "Actually, there is no purpose! I just came to see where my lovely children went if they didn't come home so late, and they inevitably love to worry when they are old!"

“... Then you heard that, they're going to City B to find a potion to solve the curse for Tsukime. ”

"Of course, of course, they are not small anymore, and it is their freedom to go wherever they want, and I can't stop it! Elder Xiu said to Yami and Tyjin.

"It's nothing! I can also study the curse of the Ghost King. Tsujin said.

"Uh-huh. Yami echoed on the side, to be honest, all she was thinking about now was what she had said to Grandpa Shouming and Yana just now, if Xiu Lao had heard the whole process of their conversation from the beginning, then, her feelings for Yuemu must have been known to Xiu Lao.

"What a shame, what a shame...," Yami muttered inwardly with her head down.

"Okay, now that my kids are home, I'm not going to stay here, gone, gone. His body suspended in mid-air turned backwards 180 degrees, "Thank you, old man Shou." With that, he flew south at a speed of light.

“......”

"Hmph, no thanks... A sucker. ”

“......”
