Chapter 899: The Fallen People
"Eh~~~" Meng Jingling looked at Huang Xiaolong with some confusion, she didn't expect that her parents would find someone to treat her, and at the end of the day, they would actually come out with such an apprenticeship!
However, Meng Jingling saw that Huang Xiaolong's eyes were clear, his temperament was dusty, and his whole body was even filled with a taste that was even more unfathomable than Ming Kuan.
Subconsciously, Meng Jingling developed an indescribable trust in Huang Xiaolong.
Meng Jiansheng and his wife, after a short period of stunned, looked at each other and nodded.
"Jing Ling, don't see your master yet. Meng Jiansheng hurriedly said.
The reason why he agreed was that Meng Jiansheng and his wife were both based on Ming Kuan's attitude.
Ming Kuan is in Fozhou City, that is a living immortal-like existence, the number one person who is respected and sought after in the upper social circles!
Since Ming Kuan couldn't wait to apprentice Huang Xiaolong immediately, it was enough to show what a big man Huang Xiaolong was.
His daughter Jingling has such a backer in the future, no matter what path she takes, she will be more spacious.
Besides, Jing Ling's illness, don't you expect Huang Xiaolong to treat it?
Meng Jingling had no objections, and immediately bowed deeply to Huang Xiaolong. "Master, apprentice Jingling pays a visit to Master. ”
"Good, good. Huang Xiaolong smiled. "We are all modern people, so we don't come to the red tape of ancient times, from today on, you are my apprentice. I'll help you heal your illness. In the future, I will cover you too. Hmm~~ You go back to your room and sleep first. ”
Back to sleep?
"Master, why don't you show Jing Ling now?" Meng Jiansheng asked suspiciously.
Huang Xiaolong said with a smile. "Go back to your room and sleep first. ”
"Oh, yes, Master, I know. Meng Jingling was also well-behaved, nodded to Huang Xiaolong, and went upstairs to his room.
After Huang Xiaolong saw Meng Jingling return to the room, he smiled and said. "Don't worry, I won't leave until my apprentice is healed... Wait. ”
"Wait, Master, do you mean that you will treat Jing Ling's child tonight?" asked Ming Kuan.
"Yes, when she falls asleep, the disease can be cured. Huang Xiaolong smiled mysteriously.
"Ahh Why do you have to fall asleep to cure it?" Meng Jiansheng's wife had a concerned and chaotic expression.
"Don't ask too much, anyway, I'll let you see it with your own eyes when I treat my apprentice. Huang Xiaolong smiled.
So, a few people chatted in the hall and waited for it.
Regarding Huang Xiaolong's acceptance of Meng Jingling as an apprentice, to be honest, Ming Kuan was still a little jealous and angry, and he finally couldn't help but complain to Huang Xiaolong. "Master... You take this child as an apprentice, I... I... To be honest, I'm still quite sour. ”
Hearing this, Meng Jiansheng and his wife laughed.
Ming Kuan said embarrassedly. "Master, Jing Ling, this kid, is smart and smart, but she doesn't necessarily have the talent and qualifications to practice the Dao, besides, even if she does, I'm afraid she is not as good as mine... Master, you are dismissive of me, this... This can... That's a bit of a favorite. ”
"Hmm. I see what you mean. "Huang Xiaolong crossed Erlang's legs, and the old god was there. "I think you're misunderstood. I accept apprentices, not by qualifications. ”
"Look at fate?" Meng Jiansheng guessed.
"No, this time I made an exception because it was ......" Huang Xiaolong suddenly lowered his voice, almost talking to himself. "Meng Jingling may be the only one left and unique today...... It's more precious than giant pandas, and I can't help but be overjoyed to see it......"
After speaking, Huang Xiaolong stood up directly. "Follow me. ”
Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they also stood up cautiously.
Huang Xiaolong led everyone and walked lightly to a bedroom on the second floor.
This is Meng Jingling's boudoir.
"Now go in, don't turn on the lights, don't talk loudly, if you see something unbelievable, don't make a fuss, you know?" Huang Xiaolong admonished.
After a pause, Huang Xiaolong said coldly again. "If you make a lot of noise and affect me to treat my apprentice, then her illness will never be cured. ”
Hearing Huang Xiaolong say this, Meng Jiansheng and his wife, Ming Kuan, both nodded solemnly, guaranteeing that no matter what they saw, they would not be surprised.
Huang Xiaolong nodded and twisted open the bedroom door.
Inside the door.
It's very quiet.
This is a small bedroom, the light is turned off, Meng Jingling sleeps on the bed, presumably already asleep, and there is an even sound of breathing.
She didn't close the window, and the faint moonlight poured in, paving a light veil for the bedroom.
Huang Xiaolong and the others walked into the bedroom and closed the door with their hands.
Next, Huang Xiaolong took out a few sticks of incense and recited the fire bell mantra, and the divine fire light overflowed, illuminating the bedroom extremely brightly.
At this time, it was clear that Meng Jingling was lying on his back on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Nothing is out of the ordinary.
That's it!
Something terrible has happened!
Sou~~~!
On the bed, Meng Jingling's head was directly separated from the body and flew up!
What a weird, horrific thing it is!
A person's head is actually separated from the neck and body!
Although, Huang Xiaolong had warned in advance, in the face of this sudden situation, Meng Jiansheng and his wife, as well as Ming Kuan, had their hearts about to pop out, and their mouths opened wide, and they were about to roar in shock.
Huang Xiaolong frowned slightly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a wisp of true qi was like a wind blowing, sealing their dumb acupoints, making them unable to speak for the time being.
"Don't shout. Huang Xiaolong said in a low voice.
At this time, Meng Jiansheng and the others reacted, remembering what Huang Xiaolong had just said, and subconsciously covered their mouths!
Looking at it again, although Meng Jingling's head flew up, the expression on his face still seemed to be asleep, very peaceful and coquettish.
It's not like it's dead.
Her body, too, was rising and falling slightly with the beating of her heart.
That is, the head flies, but the person is not dead.
When it was too late, Meng Jingling's ears suddenly flapped like wings, and then with a whoosh, he flew out of the window.
This situation frightened Meng Jiansheng and his wife, and they suddenly sat on the ground, like a ghost.
In their hearts, a terrible thought surged up - "Could it be that the daughter we have raised for more than ten or twenty years is actually a monster and ghost?"
As soon as Meng Jingling's head flew out, Huang Xiaolong took out a talisman seal and threw it out of the window, "Come back!"
Not long after, Meng Jingling's head seemed to be circling in the night sky outside, and flew back again, with a talisman on his forehead.
The skull was suddenly attached back to the head.
Keep sleeping.
A soft snoring sounded.
It's as if nothing had happened!
"I'm going to unlock your dumb hole now, don't make a fuss, listen to me. Huang Xiaolong said.
Meng Jiansheng and his wife, Ming Kuan, both nodded in horror.
Unravel the acupuncture points.
"Huh~Huh~~Huh~~~~~" Meng Jiansheng and his wife gasped for air.
Huang Xiaolong smiled. "My apprentice is not a monster, you don't have any doubts about this. She's not a ghost. She's a person. ”
After a pause, Huang Xiaolong continued. "During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhu Huan, the general of Wu, had a servant girl, and her head flew away every night after others went to sleep. Go in and out of dog holes and skylights, using your own ears as wings. Towards dawn, her head flew back again. The people around him realized that something was wrong, so they lit the lamp at night to look at the maidservant, and saw that she only had a body and no head, and could barely breathe. People covered her body with quilts. At dawn, her head flew back, but because the quilt covered her body, her head could not be put up, and fell to the ground, and her head sighed very sadly, and her body breathed very quickly, as if she was dying. So the people took off the quilt, and the end flew up again, and it was put on the neck, and after a while it calmed down. Zhu Huan thought that this maid was a monster, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to adopt her anymore, so he let her go. ”
"Actually, Zhu Huan's maidservant is not a monster or a ghost, she is a special race. It is also a very rare race. This race is called the 'Fallen Heads'. It is said that when the Wu army was marching south, it encountered the tribe of the 'Luotou people' and started a battle. After repeated defeats, it was later at night, after the head of the fallen head flew away, he entered the camp tent, covered the neck of the fallen head with a copper plate, so that the head could not be taken back, and the fallen head man died. ”
"In the books of "Collecting Memories", "Naturalist", "Youyang Miscellaneous", and "Sou Shen Ji", the people of Luotou are described as a kind of monsters, also known as 'Flying Heads', and they are called 'Flying Heads' in the night of the Hundred Ghosts, which are a kind of monsters in the south, and their heads can fly out of the body. In fact, this description is wrong. The Fallen Heads are a rare race of human beings. ”
"It's just that this peculiar race was basically exterminated during the Three Kingdoms period. Unexpectedly, my apprentice Jingling is also a remnant of the 'fallen people'. ”
After listening to Huang Xiaolong's account of the ins and outs of the matter, he knew that Jing Ling was not a monster, so Meng Jiansheng and his wife, as well as Ming Kuan, were also relieved.
"My apprentice himself did not know that he was a fallen head, because she was unconscious when her head flew out when she was sleeping at night. In fact, this is very dangerous, if the head is flying unconsciously, encountering some strange bird or something, and destroying her head, then she will die. Huang Xiaolong smiled. "Over the years, my apprentice has not died unexpectedly, and it is also her luck. As for why she has a weak physique like Lin Daiyu since she was a child, it is because the head often leaves the body!"
When Meng Jiansheng and the others heard this, they suddenly realized.
"Master, what should we do now? How to save Jing Ling?" Meng Jiansheng asked anxiously.
"The first method is the simplest, that is, I use the talisman seal to seal the bloodline characteristics of the people in her body, so that she can become an ordinary person, and her head will no longer leave her body. It will be good to take more supplements in the future. But in this way, she has changed from a unique 'fallen people' in the world to an ordinary person with all living beings, and she is inevitably a little tyrannical. ”
Huang Xiaolong smiled. "The reason why I want to accept her as an apprentice is because there are two-legged people all over the world, but she is probably the only orphan of the fallen head who can fly out of the head. ”
"I see, I see. Ming Kuan said in a continuous voice.
"The Luotou people have some cultivation techniques, but I know that these techniques are tailor-made for my apprentice Jing Ling. It's a pity not to teach her. Huang Xiaolong continued. "In addition, I also know that some head-lowering techniques, some special Dao techniques, are the most suitable for the cultivation of the head-dropping people. In a short period of time, I can make Jing Ling become a very strong existence, which is another reason why I took her as an apprentice. ”
It turned out that Huang Xiaolong had bumped into a peerless and rare fallen people, and he didn't want to destroy the heavens, so he accepted Meng Jingling as a disciple.
"Alright, I'll go first. I pasted a talisman seal on Jing Ling's head, so that her head would not fly out for the time being, and tomorrow, I would come back to make her completely awake, and then teach her magic. Huang Xiaolong smiled, then turned around and left.
Meng Jiansheng and his wife respectfully sent Huang Xiaolong and Ming Kuan out.
Bentley car.
"Master, this time, I was really eye-opening. Ming Kuan sighed again and again. "Unexpectedly, Lao Meng's adopted daughter Jing Ling is still a fallen citizen. ”
"Heh, the Luotou tribe is quite powerful, otherwise, it would be impossible for the army of the Wu State to suffer such a big loss on them back then. When I pass on the mastery of the Jingling Luotou people, and then teach her the head-lowering technique, spelling, witchcraft, and Taoism, then her future achievements will indeed be great. It will not be weaker than the average ghost king, and it can even break its wrist with the monster. ”
Ming Kuan only gasped when he heard it. "Congratulations to the master, you have accepted a good apprentice with good talent and beauty. ”
"Hmm~~ Remember, take me to Kongshan Temple tomorrow. Huang Xiaolong smiled.
"Good, good, master, I remember. Ming Kuan replied in a loud voice.
……
Huang Xiaolong returned to the hotel.
Qingqing had long since curled up in a ball and fell asleep in the living room.
In one bedroom, the lights were still on.
Huang Xiaolong pushed open the bedroom door and saw that Feng Hanyan was sitting on the bed in pajamas, reading with the bedside lamp on. It seemed that he was indeed waiting for Huang Xiaolong to come back.
"Tsk, the first beauty of the ancient martial arts family in China, the bed is warm?" Huang Xiaolong grinned.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong come back, Feng Hanyan's heart was full of surprise, nervousness, and a sense of anticipation. "Hmm~~"
Huang Xiaolong finished taking a shower non-stop, jumped on the bed, and turned Feng Hanyan into his own woman.
The first beauty of the ancient martial arts family, the fairy who came out of the dust, was also like an ordinary girl in bed, she was obsessed with Huang Xiaolong, and she was obedient and dedicated, and she gave her love as deep as the sea.
……
Early the next morning, Ming Kuan was alone, driving an off-road vehicle, and came to the hotel to pick up Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong got into the car with Qingqing and Feng Hanyan.
"Master, Kongshan Temple is located on the outskirts of Fozhou City, it is an undeveloped deep mountain forest, after entering the mountain, that section of the road is more difficult to walk, we have to abandon the car and walk forward. "Mingkuan, the head snake of Fozhou City, the old horse knows the way.
"Hmm. Huang Xiaolong didn't talk much.
At the moment, Ming Kuan drove to the direction of Kongshan Temple.
Along the way, Huang Xiaolong also rolled down the window and looked out.
After a night of strangulation by the Thousand Soul Banners, the fierce ghosts that were rampant in Foshan City had basically fled, died, and many were directly devoured and sacrificed by the Thousand Soul Banners, so the entire Foshan City, the Yin and Yang order, was also extremely well controlled.
'I need to hurry up and kill that monk and ghost king in Kongshan Temple, and then go to Shanghai.' Huang Xiaolong's heart moved.
It's getting closer and closer to the time when those ghosts will hold a meeting.
"I don't know how my little wife led the people of the Xuan Society to kill ghosts everywhere. ’
At noon, the car drove out of the vast mountains.
There is only one small town outside the mountain.
Ming Kuan found a hotel in the town and parked the car.
After a hasty lunch, everyone hiked into the mountain road.
Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, for Huang Xiaolong and the others, it is just gossip.
After walking for a while, suddenly, a village appeared in front of me.
At the back of this village, is a hillside.
Loomingly, on the hillside, stands an ancient temple.
This temple has red walls and gray tiles, and in the woods outside, birds and finches fly from time to time.
When I looked, the birds stopped on the treetops were all crows!
The whole temple is full of ghosts, just like the Nine Secluded Underground Mansions!
"Master, that's the Empty Mountain Temple. Ming Kuan said cautiously. "It's very evil at first glance. I was here many years ago, but... My mana is low, and I don't notice anything unusual. And, Master, how can there be a village at the foot of this mountain? Remember the last time I came, it was deserted, where did it come from?"
Ming Kuan was very puzzled.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the village.
The smoke curls up, and the smoke is longitudinal and horizontal.
In the distance, you can hear the sound of scolding, children playing and playing, and villagers singing mountain songs......
The whole village is very lively and gives people a very happy feeling.
Travelers from afar who pass through such a village will surely relax and feel a deep sense of tiredness and a desire to go to the village to rest and spend the night.
"Something is wrong. Qingqing is a monster, and her seventh sense is very strong, and she sniffed with her nose. "It's really wrong. ”
"Hehe~~" Huang Xiaolong smiled.
His eyes shone brightly, and when he looked again, the comfortable village in front of him had turned into a bloody and terrifying mass grave!
Wild graves without tombstones stand.
There are also some coffins piled up all over the place.
The charred ground was covered with white bones, skulls, and corpses.
"It seems that all this is a trick made up by the monk ghost king. Huang Xiaolong smiled and looked at Ming Kuan beside him. "Ming Kuan's Dao technique can be regarded as so-so, but even he was deceived by this trick. That monk ghost king is indeed a very powerful guy......"
The blinding method in front of him not only deceived Mingkuan and Feng Hanyan, but even Qingqing, who was a monster, only felt that something was wrong, but it was a blinding method that could not see through the village.
Boom~~~~!
At this moment, the empty mountain temple on the slope of the mountain, a low and dumb bell sounded, the bell echoed in the mountain, on the mountain, a large number of red-eyed crows, fluttering up.
The croaking was like the sound of a death knell.
The atmosphere became a little gloomy and a little creepy.
"Let's go to that village first. Huang Xiaolong didn't say anything, and said with a smile.
The crowd walked towards the village ahead.
That is, - mass graves!
……
