"Little girl, what are you doing kneeling at my feet? Get up, get up quickly......" Zhi Gong held the torch in one hand and helped the little girl up in a panic with the other.

"The little girl thanked the strong man for saving her life. The little girl's pear blossom brought rain, and she kowtowed her head, and then she stood up and shadowed.

Hyun Ji approached with a torch, and the little girl was about to kneel again, but Hyun Ji held back.

Zhigong said: "Little girl: We have exterminated this oolong village, you are safe and sound now, you can go home." ”

The little girl lowered her head and was silent.

Xuan Ji reproached: "This black light is blinding, how can you tell the little girl to go home?"

"Oh, that's right. Zhigong patted his head and said, "Little girl: Where are you from? Seeing that you are so thin, when it is dawn, I will send you home." ”

As soon as Zhigong said this, Xuan Ji was half angry next to her: I begged you just now, you still pushed back, and now you actually took the initiative to send the little girl home!

So she said sourly: "Little girl, you are beautiful and thin, the son of the family is worried that you will be robbed again on the way, and he wants to send you home, so you can quickly tell me the address of your home." ”

When the little girl heard this, she rolled down tears: "I was originally from Zhangjia Village near here, and I got married today, but I met a mountain bandit, and my family has been killed by the mountain bandits, and now I am lonely and helpless." ”

"Huh? This ...... Where am I going to send you?" was so anxious that Gong Gong scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't expect this to happen.

"I see: you just take this little girl with you, anyway, I think you two are quite compatible. Hyun Ji teased hatefully.

"Girl, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense......" Zhi Gong's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he said anxiously, "Little girl, think about it, think about whether there are any other relatives." ”

"The little girl also has an aunt, about a hundred miles away from here. The little girl said.

"Good, good...... Even if it's two hundred miles or three hundred miles, it doesn't matter, and when it gets dawn, I'll send you there!"

After the matter was agreed, the two continued to light the fire.

The little girl has been following the palace around the palace, never leaving an inch.

Every time Hyun Ji glanced at it, she felt a little more unhappy in her heart, and she poked the torch and lit it with hatred.

The two of them have been lighting a fire from the top of the mountain to burn down the oolong village, the whole Fengliang Mountain seems to have a beacon fire, or on the top of the mountain, or on the mountainside, the fire is soaring to the sky, it is very spectacular.

The sky also grew brighter in the firelight.

When the torch was lit to the first gate of the cottage, the sky was already bright.

Fortunately, the white horse was still tied under the birch tree, so Xuan Ji went to untie the reins and walked to the palace, although she obviously had the answer in her heart, she still couldn't help but ask him, "Where are you going?"

"I have promised the little girl to take her to her aunt's house. Zhigong replied.

Xuan Ji couldn't help but tremble slightly: "What about me? ”

"Girl, you have the ability, you can naturally go to the state capital by yourself, no more lonely and pitiful than this little girl, I must send her back." ”

Hmph, am I not lonely and pitiful? Hmph, Xuan Ji said that she didn't have a sour hatred, but she felt that what Zhi Gong said was reasonable.

So she simply handed the reins to the palace and said softly: "Then you go and go back quickly, I will wait for you in the Guizhou Mansion." ”

"Don't worry, girl: after I send this little girl back, I will go to the state capital to find you. ”

As he said, he turned over and got on the horse, and then reached out and gently lifted the little girl behind the horse, grabbed the reins with both hands, and slammed the horse's belly with both feet.

The white horse was in pain, its front hooves raised high, let out a neighing roar, and suddenly fell to the ground, spread its four hooves, and galloped away like a whirlwind, and a burst of yellow dust flew up.

Hyun Ji suddenly felt sad, put her hands to her mouth like a trumpet, and shouted:

"Hey, Zhigong, you still don't know my name! My name is: Zhao-Xuan-Ji-you must remember this name and go to the Zhao Mansion in Guizhou to find me!"

"Got it, take care all the way!"

In the aftermath, the white horse driven by the palace had disappeared on the mountain road down the mountain.

Hyun Ji was so disappointed in her heart, and she looked at her eyes wistfully.

But seeing that the mountains stretch and the peaks turn around, there is no trace of the palace long gone, only the sound of horses' hooves is left, kicking in the heart, ringing in the ears, and gradually disappearing.

This place is a farewell, Xiao Xiao Ban Ma Ming.

Xuan Ji stared wistfully for a long time.

The morning breeze blew cold, and she shivered back to her senses.

Uncle Chen has gone, the palace has left, and Xuan Ji is alone, so he wants to return to the state capital with the wind, but he doesn't recognize the way to go. Thinking of helplessness, she walked down the mountain, found a small town, bought a yellow horse, asked the road to the state capital, and returned all the way.

Along the way, Xuan Ji asked the path three times, and at noon she had already arrived at the Guizhou capital.

After entering the city, he heard about the Zhao Mansion, came to the front of the gate building, and tied the horses next to the horse tethering stake, and Xuan Ji excitedly called her father and mother, and walked up the stairs quickly.

The old housekeeper Chen Yuan is dead, who knows her?

The doorman stopped the road and interrogated him. Hyun Ji reported her name and took out the letter handed over by the old butler. The doorman was overjoyed and rushed into the house to report.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were overjoyed when they learned of their daughter's return, and they both came out.

After 14 years of separation, once they met, the three of them hugged each other and cried with joy. After a long time, everyone entered the hall of the Zhao Mansion half-hugged each other.

It turned out that Mrs. Jinhua and Xuan Ji's parents said that they could only go down the mountain after fifteen years of study, and they were not allowed to go home halfway.

Madame was extremely excited, reached out and gently pinched Xuan Ji's left ear chakra, looked at it carefully, and cried: "Yes... It's my Ji'er, it's my Ji'er...... The maple leaf birthmark under the root of the ear can be recognized at a glance, and in the blink of an eye, my Ji'er has grown into a slim girl. ”

It turned out that when Xuan Ji was born, there was a cinnabar birthmark in the shape of a maple leaf the size of cardamom under the root of her left ear, and Mrs. always remembered it in her heart!

Xuan Ji gently wiped away her wife's tears and said: "Master, her old man said that she must live in Qingcheng Mountain for fifteen years in order to help Ji'er survive the disaster, because the family has changed, so she sent Ji'er back." From now on, Ji'er can be by her mother's side every day. ”

"Ji'er, it's good that you're back. I don't know what kind of sin was created in which life, your father was haunted by a terrible ghost, and he was often groggy and delirious, what should I do!" the lady sobbed sadly.

"Mother, don't be afraid, Ji'er already knows about this. What Ji'er learned in Qingcheng Mountain is the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, if the ghosts come to entangle their father again, the children will definitely beat them to ashes. ”

"Ji'er, this is not one or two ghosts, there are more than a dozen evil ghosts in the Tingfeng Pavilion in the backyard. The lady is worried about her husband and can't wait for her daughter Hyun Ji to drive the ghost away.

When Lord Zhao heard this, he complained: "Madam: Ji'er has been tired all the way, and she has just come back, and you have been nagging non-stop, I think it is better to let my daughter rest first before it is too late." ”

"Master: You see that the sun is about to turn west, and that ghost is coming again soon, and I don't have any confidence in my heart. Madame sighed.

When Lord Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously glanced out of the hall.

In addition to a large piece of sunlight projected in front of the gate, what remains is the sunlight that penetrates through the lattice floor-to-ceiling windows, and the shadows of the rows of floor-to-ceiling windows are faintly imprinted on the water mill floor motionless, and the sunlight leaking in the lattice is hazy and hairy, as if there is an indescribable treachery and horror flowing in it.

"Daddy, don't be afraid, even if there are thirty or fifty powerful ghosts, my daughter can deal with it. Hyun Ji caught a glimpse of her father's frightened face, and comforted her.

"Hmm. Lord Zhao pretended to be calm, and then changed the subject, "Ji'er: Why didn't you see the old housekeeper come back?"

"This ......" Xuan Ji hesitated for a moment and said weakly, "Uncle Chen... He has been killed by mountain bandits. ”

"What's going on?" Lord Zhao was shocked.

"Here's the thing...... Xuan Ji said, and then told everything she had encountered when she went down the mountain, including the fight against bandits in Peach Blossom Village and the extermination of Oolong Village.

When Lord Zhao heard this, he sighed and said, "Dad is afraid that the ghosts will know about this, so he secretly sent the old housekeeper to call you back, so that they are unguarded and never think about it...... Alas...... Ji'er, Uncle Chen is an old hero of the Zhao family, from now on, whenever you sacrifice at festivals, don't forget to burn some paper money for him. ”

"Yes, the boy knows. ”

"You've had a long journey, so rest first, and we'll talk later. Lord Zhao said, "Madam, Ji'er has just returned home, and she is not familiar with all places, so you can send Ji'er there." ”

"Yes, sir. The lady replied and stood up.

Just as she was about to lead Hyun Ji away, she suddenly turned pale and screamed in horror: "The ghost is coming! The ghost is coming......

Before the words fell, the lady threw herself into Hyun Ji's arms, like a frightened child.

When Lord Zhao heard this, his face was as frightened as earth, and he slipped under the table with a snort, and lay on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling all over.

"Where the ghost is?"

Hyun Ji hugged her lady tightly with her right hand, and drew her sword with her left hand.

"I just ...... Just saw it...... Arrive... I went to the back of the hospital to listen to the wind pavilion. Madame said tremblingly.

"Someone!" Xuan Ji shouted.

Before the call fell, more than a dozen family soldiers rushed in in a panic, although they were holding knives and guns, but their hands and feet trembled, as if the wind was shaking the canopy.

Xuan Ji ordered all the soldiers to protect her parents, and then took the mandarin duck double sword in her hand, called a personal soldier to lead the way, and went straight to the backyard to listen to the wind pavilion.

The sun is still bright, sprinkled on the ground, dazzling people's eyes.

But I saw that the backyard was silent, only the sound of the shade of the trees and the wind.
