Chapter 4: The Ghost of the Mountain

It was already dawn, and the white-clothed ghost disappeared into nothingness like the wind. Mo Pian said: "Hey, where did he go?"

Lin Xi said: "If you can return at night, don't wait for the dawn." He went back. ”

Mo Pian said: "Then can we not go to that Skull Mountain?" Lin Xi said: "Go!" Mo Pian said: "Then do you know where Skull Mountain is?"

Lin Xi was stunned and said, "I don't know." Mo Lian grinned, revealing two cute little dimples, and said, "I know you don't know." Lin Xi said: "You know?"

Mo Pian said: "I don't know. Stupid! I don't know, just ask someone!" Lin Xi said: "Exactly." ”

It was early in the morning, and the streets were deserted, but there was no one. A gust of morning wind blew away a flag weave not far away, and the "fluttering" jumped non-stop.

Mo Pian said: "There are buns selling in front, let's go ask them!" and Lin Xi walked to a small shed in front, and they had already steamed a basket of steamed buns. Mo Lian shouted: "Ten steamed buns, and two bowls of soy milk." ”

Lin Xi said: "Do you still want to eat?" Mo Lian rolled his eyes and said, "I'm hungry." "Find a stool and sit down, and wait for the bun to come up. Lin Xi also sat down in front of her. The bun seller was an elderly couple, dressed modestly.

The old woman came over with the buns first, poured two bowls of soy milk, and said a few words. Mo Lian grinned, picked up the soy milk and drank it. Lin Xi didn't understand these local words, and said, "What are they talking about?"

Mo Pian said: "Let's drink." Lin Xi said: "You ask her where Skull Mountain is." Mo Pian said, "Okay!" and shouted, "Shopkeeper, ask you a place." Do you know where Skull Mountain is?"

The old man and the woman were relatively dazed, and they all shook their heads and didn't know. The old woman said, "What is Skull Mountain? It can't be Gulou Temple, right?

Mo Lian said: "What is Gulou Temple?" The old man said: "It's a Buddhist temple, it's very effective, and there are still many people who go to God from far and near!" Mo Lian shook his head and said: "No, it's not! What we are looking for is Skull Mountain." ”

Lin Xi said, "How is it? Do they know?" Mo Lian shook his head.

The two were relatively silent, eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk. Suddenly, a man walked in outside the shed, and the shopkeeper was just about to greet him, but the man walked straight to Lin Xi and sat down, and said with a smile: "It's useless to ask them about Skull Mountain." ”

Lin Xi was very hearty when he heard this voice, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but change color slightly, and said, "It's you!" Mo Pian said: "Hey, aren't you leaving? Why are you here again?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You recognize the wrong person, right?" This person is none other than the white-clothed ghost before. Lin Xi saw that he had changed into a black dress, his eyes were bright, and his face was full of smiles. The mouth is laughing, the eyes are laughing, the nose is laughing, and even the ears seem to be laughing.

Lin Xi said: "You ...... You're not that ......" Mo said pitifully: "That crybaby!"

The man laughed and said, "You've mistaken someone! I'm not him." Do you mind if I eat it?" picked up the bun on the table and ate it. Lin Xi said: "Then who are you?"

The man said while eating: "I've been hungry all night, I'll eat two first!" Hu stuffed two buns and said while chewing: "My name is Chang Xiao, not the person you saw last night." He can only come out at night, I am different. He was called to cry often. As for why we look exactly the same, it's our mother who gave birth to us in the first place. ”

Lin Xi had an epiphany: "Twin brothers!" Seeing that this person didn't have the slightest ghost in his body, he didn't look like a ghost. Chang smiled: "Exactly! But it's not clear which of us is big and who is small." He asked again: "I haven't seen you, who is Your Excellency?" Lin Xi said: "Lin Xi." Mo Lian also signed up.

Chang smiled and said: "They are all one person." Are you looking for the ghost king in Skull Mountain?" Lin Xi said: "Exactly! Do you know where Skull Mountain is?" Chang smiled and said: "Skull Mountain knows." But it's not that easy to find the ghost king, but I have a way. ”

Lin Xi said: "What way?" Chang smiled: "I'll tell you when I'm full." He stuffed three more buns into his mouth, picked up Lin Xi's bowl of soy milk and drank it all. Mo Pian said, "Hey, that's his!"

Chang smiled and said, "He's his, do you want me to spit it out?" paid the store and said, "Let's go, let's go out of the city first." Lin Xi said yes and followed him out of the city. Chang smiled: "There are actually a lot of Taoist priests in Chang'an City, but they are all fake, and they have no real skills." But don't be bumped into someone who has the ability, otherwise you won't be able to escape!" Lin Xi said: "Yes." ”

Chang Xiao seemed to have endless words, and said: "If you bump into a Taoist priest and have no ability, just play with him! We are afraid of their sword, and they are afraid of our chains. They catch ghosts and catch ghosts, but they don't dare to grudge with the ghosts. Last time I met someone who was capable, but he didn't dare to make a feud with me. ”

Lin Xixin said: "It seems that he is also a ghost envoy...... But how can it appear in the daytime?" Chang Xiao walked in the sun, his face was very comfortable, and he laughed: "Someone asked me why I always laughed, and I said I don't know." You say, is that a good answer?"

They went outside the city and rested in a dark forest. Lin Xi said: "Is there any way to find the Ghost King?" Chang smiled: "Skull Mountain is easy to find." It's just a large cave in the back, which turned out to be a mass grave. That ghost king was born at some point, and his cultivation became powerful. Send the little ghost out to catch people and detain the soul to enjoy. It's just that there are too many secret passages in Skull Mountain, and there are too many mountain passes, so it's not so easy to find the ghost king. He paused and said, "It's hard for us to find the Ghost King, but the Ghost King's subordinates can find it." Did you catch two imps?"

Lin Xi said: "Yes!" Chang smiled: "Take them out, we will each divide one and devour, take their memories, and you can find the cave where the ghost king lives." Lin Xi changed color slightly and said, "Ghost devourer...... That's ......."

Chang laughed and said, "Why are you so pedantic? Don't you know the rules in the shadows? Even if we eat one or two imps, it's fine, who doesn't know? But they are also enjoying it." Not to mention two evil spirits. ”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Evil ghosts can be eaten, but ......" often smiled: "Boy, you are too roundabout and don't understand anything." You take it out, eat it and get rid of the ghost king!" Lin Xi opened the Qiankun bag and released the two evil ghosts.

As soon as the two demons came out of the bag, they wanted to change, and Chang Xiao had already grabbed his throat one by one, took one to Lin Xi, tore the other to pieces, and gasped violently, sucking his soul dry. saw Lin Xi standing in place in a daze, but he didn't suck his soul.

Chang Xiao asked, "You don't suck him?" Lin Xi shook his head and said, "Don't." "I opened the bag and took the evil ghost again. Chang smiled and said: "It's really roundabout! Eating him is equivalent to eating the next big tonic, but you don't eat it." It's funny!"

Mo Pian said: "Hey, do you know where the ghost king is?" Chang Xiao's eyes widened, and he smiled: "Got it, follow me." "Lead the way in front.

Leaving the city, I traveled more than 50 zhang to the west, gradually steepened the mountain road, and saw several broken temples standing in the wind in the distance. Chang smiled and said: "More than ten years ago, a few broken monks built a temple here, but then they couldn't live and left, but became a ghost land!

Chang smiled and said, "In San'in, let's go to San'in." "Go around the temple and go to the hill. The trail is getting steeper, and the old trees are swaying in the wind.

Chang Xiao licked his lips and said, "It feels weird." Lin Xi said: "What's weird?" Chang smiled and didn't answer, walked to a mountain tomb, saw the sun gradually falling, shivered, and said: "The ghost king lives in the cave in front. "The more you go, the slower you go. Suddenly stopped, his face turned pale, he looked at Lin Xi and said, "Do you feel anything bad?"

Lin Xi frowned and said, "Is there one?" Chang Xiao laughed dryly twice, and said, "It's not right...... "After taking two more steps, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't laugh anymore. Lin Xi said, "What's wrong with you?"

Chang Xiao looked to the west and saw that the sunset had already fallen halfway. He trembled, his face was terribly white, and said, "The sun has gone down...... ...... quickly," Lin Xi said, "It's going down the mountain." Chang smiled bitterly, laughed dryly, and suddenly fell to the ground, holding his head and trembling.

Lin Xi was shocked, stepped forward to help him, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Chang Xiao said in a trembling voice: "I don't know...... It's not easy to walk here...... That one...... That ghost king is not very easy to deal with......" Lin Xi's face changed color, Chang Xiao is also a soul deterrent, all ghosts will be afraid of three points, why is he scared like this before he sees the ghost king now?

Chang Xiao suddenly jumped up and said in a trembling voice: "The sun is gone...... The sun is gone......" rushed to the west, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Lin Xi couldn't stop it, and shouted, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Lian pursed his lips and said, "It's really useless, I'm scared like this, isn't it just the sun going down?" Lin Xi shook his head and walked forward. The night was already dark, but he ignored the night and gradually walked to the group of graves. Seeing the mountains high and the forests deep, the shadows swayed. The wind was like crying, and the tombs stood out.

Mo Lian suddenly saw Lin Xi shudder, and the two rows of teeth bit each other. asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xi only felt a powerful fear surging from the depths of his heart, from the depths of his soul, just like the fear of death before his death. That fear pierced his soul like a sharp knife.

Lin Xi said: "I...... I don't think it's good here......" I looked at a cave in front of me, shivering even more. Mo Pian said: "What's wrong?" Lin Xi shook his head and half-knelt on the ground.

Mo Pian said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?" to help him. Lin Xi gritted the teeth of the two rows that hit each other and said, "I'...... I'm so scared......" Mo Pian said: "What are you afraid of? I'm here! Don't be afraid, I'll protect you if there's something." ”

At this time, a voice said sadly: "Why do my eyes water?"

often came to Lin Xi crying, with a melancholy and pale face facing him. Mo Lian saw Chang crying and said, "Hey, why are you here? What's wrong with him?" Chang Wai said sadly: "I don't know, what's going on here...... I...... I don't know......" The soul floated around, and it trembled.

Chang Wai suddenly screamed, "That's enough! You come out for me!" Lin Xi hugged his head and said, "Who?"

I heard someone in the darkness laugh sharply: "What a bold soul detainer! As soon as he said this, he often cried and half-knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground, and his whole body trembled involuntarily, as if he had met some natural enemy.

Chang cried and said in a trembling voice: "Oh no...... He...... He's not a ghost...... He's deaf...... Deaf ......"

When a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and when he dies, a ghost turns into a deaf. People are afraid of ghosts like natural enemies, and ghosts are afraid of deaf as natural enemies. Although both of them are ghosts and ghosts, they have no strength to resist when they encounter ghosts.

In the fierce wind, the deaf ghost walked out of the mountain tomb and said sharply: "You are so bold, you dare to kill my subordinate ghost envoys and offend my yin land!" Just one sentence pressed Lin Xi and Chang Crying to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Lian made a stealth technique and fled outward.
