The moon is dark and the wind is high, a figure is walking quickly, look at the dress should be a showman, after a while, I found that there is a small temple not far ahead, closer, the temple is surrounded by weeds, walk towards the temple gate, hope to spend a night here. I was about to knock on the door, but the door was pushed open and opened. At this time, there were bursts of "ah-oh" and "ah-oh" in the field... The sound of a wolf howling. The scholar hurriedly entered the temple and closed the temple door.

Inside, the scholar looked around, and it was empty, the walls were a little old, and the statue of the god in the center was dilapidated. Come to the idol and bow deeply. ...

Late at night, people were tired, and they were in a hurry overnight, leaning on the incense platform and about to fall asleep, when they suddenly heard "dong dong dong"... There was a knock on the door.

Shock... , woke up, and looked in the direction of the temple gate. It was really dark, and I groped and came to the temple gate.

Just as he was about to open the door, "Before leaving, my mother repeatedly told me to pay attention to safety when I go out, and to have more eyes." Then he stopped his hand, pressed his face against the door, and looked out with his eyes along the crack in the door.

This look, suddenly froze, (the scholar looked out, there was not even a figure) came back to his senses, and when he wanted to turn away, there was a sound of "dong dong dong...", this time to see a real one, sure enough, there was not even a figure, at this moment, there was a moving female voice at the door, and the grass began to be noisy. The scholar suddenly felt a cold sweat, and his back was hairy. I just wanted to get as far away from the door as possible, strode back, hid under the incense platform, unconsciously groped with my hands, touched a 'stone', held it tightly, stared at the temple door, and did not dare to relax for a moment. ......

I don't know why, the sound gradually faded away, until the sky was bright, the scholar slowly got out from under the incense platform, came to the door, and slowly opened the temple door with courage, the temple was very quiet outside, as if nothing had happened, hurriedly took the luggage, and left the place.

Straight ahead, the scholar came to a village, and at this moment he just wanted to find a safe place to sleep well. After finding the inn, I asked for a room, fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already night. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he came to the table and lit the candle placed on it, and the room suddenly lit up.

The shopkeeper saw that there was a bright light in the boy's room, so he came to the door and knocked on the door, and asked, "Childe, but when you wake up, do you need food and tea?"

The scholar opened the door and said, "Then there is the second brother Lao." ”

When it was outdated, the shopkeeper brought the food and tea over, and said, "Son, please use it slowly, you can tell me something." As he spoke, he stepped back to the door. At this moment, the scholar thought of what happened last night, so he called the shopkeeper, (told the shopkeeper what happened last night,): "Little brother, do you know...?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper's face changed greatly, straightened his body, and then said to the scholar: "Gongzi is really a god and a man, and he is safe and sound when he encounters this miracle." I heard the older generation in the village say that there are wolves in this big mountain, and the strange thing is that these wolves are very smart, not only knocking on the door, but even talking to people to deceive passers-by. "The scholar is still a little scared when he thinks about it, wolf demon, if the door had been opened at that time, would I still be alive now?... Speechless for a while, the shopkeeper closed the door and left.

( Wolf Demon - As the name suggests, the monster transformed by the wolf, the wolf demon is different from many monsters, most of the monsters like to act alone, and the wolf demon acts in groups, and the leader is the head of the horse.) )

Time flowed quietly, the scholar took the luggage and put it on the table, rummaged through the books, and suddenly a stone fell out of the luggage, the scholar picked it up, looked at it, and felt very strange. (This shouldn't be what was in my luggage, why it was in my luggage.) I picked up the teapot and rinsed it with water, and after wiping it clean, I found that it was a piece of jade, and there was a red spot on top of this jade, and the red spot glowed brightly, and the light gradually dimmed. Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind him: "Childe..." At this time, the scholar felt that his scalp was numb, his head was blank, and he was at a loss. The body ran towards the door uncontrollably, and as soon as he took a step, he felt that his body was so heavy that he couldn't move. The woman turned the scholar around and said, "Childe, I'm sorry, but the little woman didn't mean to frighten Childe. What the scholar saw at this time was not a man with a disheveled head, his face was pale and bloodshot,... It's very scary, but a beautiful woman whose skin is better than snow, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when she looks forward to it, she has an elegant and noble beautiful woman, and her heart is a little calmer.

The scholar trembled slightly and said, "The girl and I have never been masked, I don't know why the girl is here?"

The beautiful woman said, "The little girl is the jade in the hand of the child." Then he said: "The little girl's original surname is Liu, and her name is Yue. Originally a person who was an auditor, he lost his mother since he was a child, and the little girl's father was named Liu Chen, who was originally a servant of the ministry, but because he offended the eunuch Gao Jian, he was framed, dismissed from his official position, and was demoted back to his hometown. (At this time, two lines of tears flowed on Liu Yue'e's moving face) The scholar saw it, a little moved, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Liu Yue'e continued with some sobs: "That Gao Jian saw that my father was dismissed from his official position, and he didn't give up, so he arranged a killer on the way back to our hometown, wanting to kill my father to prevent future troubles. That night, I was attacked, I was separated from my father, I ran to a mountain, hid in a temple, I didn't think I was still discovered, those gangsters saw the beauty of my life, wanted to occupy me, I swore to die, hit the temple pillar, blood flowed to this jade, the soul also remained in this jade, thank you Gongzi for bringing me out. ”

After hearing this, the scholar sighed and said: "It turns out that the girl is also a hard-working person, Xiaosheng may have misunderstood the girl, this is polite, Xiaosheng's name is Scholar, he is an orphan, because his mother picked it up in the library, so he took this name." Xiaosheng's hometown people all say, "Ghosts are very scary, and they eat people's hearts and livers, so as to replenish qi and increase Taoism." I didn't think there was such a beautiful woman in this world."

Liu Yue'e said: "Childe, it's too famous." Childe can know that people are good and bad, good and evil, and people in the underworld are transformed by yang people, and there are also distinctions."

Liu Yue'e suddenly knelt down and said: "Childe, the little woman appeared here, there is a reluctant request, and I hope that the son will agree, although more than 20 years have passed since this matter, but the little woman is still at ease in her heart, I hope that the son can help inquire where my father is now, Yue'e, thank you here." ”

The scholar said: "The girl doesn't need to be polite, Xiaosheng promised the girl that he would try his best to find your father's whereabouts." ”

Liu Yue'e got up and said, "My father and I got separated in a place called 'Jinling Village', and we are tired of my son. I can't leave the jade for a long time, if the son wants to see me, you can hold this jade, silently recite my name, and then you can meet. With that, he turned into a puff of green smoke and returned to the jade.

(Ghosts - there are many kinds, see the Hundred Ghosts Record for details, which records unique ghosts such as black impermanence, white impermanence, bull head, horse face, etc.)

By this time, it was already halfway through the night. After the scholar put away this jade, he read the book for a while, thought twice, and went to the village tomorrow to inquire about one or two, wash and sleep.
