The sun set, it was already the hour (between 19 o'clock and 21 o'clock), the 'Ye Xiao Mountain' began to rise in the yin qi, the skeleton of the skeleton emitted a line of blue light, falling like satin, slowly manifesting on the ground a nearly seven-foot-tall scholar in a green shirt, today is the fifteenth, it is a good day for the full moon and clear stars, with a move, the yin qi gathers, condensed into a translucent jade-like black flute.

The sound of the song only echoes in the 'Night Xiao Mountain', and it cannot be heard at all outside the mountain, which is the agreement reached between Baizu and it, and it pays a lot of price.

Before the sound of the flute came out of the mountain, there were always all kinds of demon beasts who foolishly walked into the 'Night Xiao Mountain', and then died in it, becoming the private soldiers of the 'Night Xiao Mountain', if this goes on for a long time, the hundred-legged territory will slowly weaken, and it will no longer be able to compete with other lords, or turn into a ghost domain, and scholars will become lords.

With the sound of the flute, wisps of black smoke came out of the ground on the mountain, turning into all kinds of demon beasts, surrounding the scholars, lying on their stomachs or sitting, listening honestly and quietly with their eyes closed.

Until the time of Hai (between 21 o'clock and 23 o'clock), the little tanuki still did not come back, the scholar ghost frowned, stopped the sound of the flute, and all the demon beasts opened their eyes one after another, looked at him suspiciously, and heard him say: "Ling'er will not come back at this time, there must be an accident." ”

"Mountain Lord, let's go out and look for it. A rhinoceros demon ghost said.

The scholar nodded, and all the ghosts turned into black smoke and drifted down the mountain, waved the yin flute in his hand, and disappeared again into yin qi in the air.

Time passed minute by minute, and after an hour, the ghosts returned one after another, but they were not found, the scholar's face sank like water, and his body was full of yin qi, and he snorted coldly and said: "If you live to see people, you must see corpses when you die, and you have to dig three feet into the ground for me to find out." ”

For the first time, the ghosts were so angry when they saw the always gentle mountain lord so frightened that they hurriedly went down the mountain again to look for him.

A bobcat demon ghost floated slowly and leisurely, and the heavens and men were at war in their hearts, and they didn't know whether to tell the mountain lord what they had just seen.

She was a bobcat demon before her death, her strength was not high, only the mid-stage cultivation of Hua Dan, once she was chasing prey, and inadvertently approached Yexiao Mountain, at that time the mountain was not called this name, but somehow, the mountain began to be one day, and the yin qi became heavier and heavier, I heard that it was because of the sudden death of a big demon in the early stage of the Dan Fire Realm on the mountain, so the yin qi was strong, and a few demons who were not afraid of death in the Ming Dan Realm entered it, and wanted to find the treasure of the big demon before his death, but they never came out, so no demon dared to approach this mountain after that, and gave it a terrifying name- "Ghost Mountain".

When she found herself too close to the ghost mountain, there was already a little afterglow left in the sun, so she was so frightened that she quickly turned her head and ran back, as the sun completely set, that little afterglow disappeared, announcing the arrival of night, this day happened to be the full moon of the first month, and the sound of the flute sounded with the nightfall, and the song was sad and sad, like the young man who was depressed, disappointed in the world and despaired.

She ran out not far, she was attracted by the song, the pace of the step slowly slowed down, and finally the body involuntarily stopped, turned around, looked at the ghost mountain in a daze, her feet did not obey the call, fell, and walked towards the mountain step by step, on the way, she saw many demons and beasts like her, all walking towards the mountain step by step, and the closer she got, the more desperate she felt in her heart.

When she reached the top of the mountain, she saw a large tree, and on the tree hung a pale human being, about thirty years old, very good-looking, who did not stare at the big eyes and stick out his long tongue like the other hanged ghosts, but just closed his eyes like that, and fell asleep peacefully with his head bowed, and a smile on his face, as if relieved.

Below the human corpse, there was a ghost floating exactly like the corpse, he was playing a jade flute in front of the bright moon, and after he finished blowing a whole song, the jade flute exploded, turning into a little powder and floating to the tree, then she found that on the branch where the corpse was hanging, there was a sleeping little civet cat, and the powder turned into the jade flute was not in the body of the little civet cat.

Then the demons came to their senses, and looked at the ghost in horror, the ghost didn't say anything, just waved his sleeves and disappeared, and the demons were so frightened that they hurriedly went down the mountain, and on the way, she saw some corpses that had died next to the tree, and remembered the sad song just now, and her hair stood on end in fright.

When she returned to the nest, she couldn't sleep over and over, closed her eyes and always remembered the song and the ghost, after half a month, every evening she would run to the ghost mountain, listen to whether there was a flute sound, until the fifteenth day, the flute sound sounded again, she also came to the top of the mountain again to see the ghost, but at this time the jade flute in her hand was replaced by a bamboo flute, after the band was blown up, as last time, it was blown up and floated into the body of the little civet cat.

This time she did not go down the mountain, but stayed on the mountain, the ghost did not stop, there are many demons like her, every day down the mountain to look for food, at night to see if the ghost appears, and finally they found that the ghost only appeared on the night of the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and played a tune, and also found that more ghosts appeared on the mountain, all of which were transformed by the demon who died on the mountain before.

Time flies, after ten years, she found that her cultivation progress is slow, and there may be no hope in this life, so she will have to die for another hundred years at most, and at that time, not only will her body be weak, but even her soul will be corrupted, and she doesn't have to think about turning into a ghost after death, and in order to be able to listen to more songs played by ghosts, she and the other little demons decided to die on this ghost mountain at this time, and with the help of the yin qi of the ghost mountain, turn into ghosts.

They succeeded, and after another hundred years, the ghosts became stronger and stronger, and they renamed the ghost mountain, called "Yexiao Mountain", and proclaimed themselves the lord of the mountain.

More than ten years later, that is, five years ago, the little civet cat in the mountain owner's continuous cultivation, finally gave birth to wisdom, from a beast to a demon, the mountain owner is very tired of the little civet cat, like his own daughter, but also taught him to play the flute, see her that called a jealousy, and even a little ruthless, this time the little civet cat disappeared, to be honest, she even a little schadenfreude.

When she was ordered to go down the mountain to look for the little tanuki, many ghosts chose the north, because that was the direction in which the civet cat left, but she chose the south, thinking that she would find it casually and then go back to her life, but she never thought that she found a pair of monks and apprentices twenty miles away, sitting around a bonfire and eating dry food with water, the old monk gave her a feeling of extreme danger, so she only dared to glance at it from a distance, and then immediately ran back.

On the way, she faintly felt that the disappearance of the little civet cat might be related to the pair of master and apprentice, and wanted to go back immediately to tell the mountain master, but she hesitated, and struggled in her heart, although the pace was slow, but the road would eventually be finished, she returned to the foot of the 'Yexiao Mountain', and finally sighed and floated quickly towards the mountain.
