In the ghost city, the lonely souls and wild ghosts who fell into this place suffered all kinds of suffering, only today, the ghost door was wide open, and they could temporarily leave the capital and go to the yang world, and many lonely souls and wild ghosts in the city were a little restless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][]. [774] [buy]. [ ] [Book House (7764)]
Outside the city is quite calm, there are two teenagers from the city slowly walked out, one after the other, the latter is short, monkey cheeks and mouth pointed, but also because it is noon, in this yin soil, it is also the most intense moment of the sun, sprinkled on him, a hot piece, the pain made him grin, even jumping, couldn't help but pull the sleeve of the previous person, shouted: "Second Brother Yan, how far is the washing river, this day is too poisonous, painful." β
The young man who is called Second Brother Yan is actually not much older, wearing a short linen shirt, he has a lazy look, listening to him say this, he glanced sideways, and then laughed: "Blame me for not telling the strange biography of Pu Shusheng, and taking you to learn these nonsense." It's not far, a few steps away. β
The young man's full name is Yan Pengcheng, and the grinning grinning face next to him is his little Sai Shen Monkey, both of them are ghost people in the ghost town of Xudu, the Sai Shen Monkey He was born like a monkey, and he was born well, but when he got into the teeth, the more he looked like an ape, and his parents also gave birth to a demon in their hearts, so he drowned him in the dung pit, and a wisp of soul floated into the Xudu.
And Yan Pengcheng he also stayed in the ghost city of Xudu for thirteen years, a child with a hard life, at the age of three, he was smoked a lot, and his father who went to the red sleeves to gamble all day long sold five taels of cloud silk silver, when he first arrived in his grandmother's house, he was asked for his name, and said his name in a milky voice, Yan Pengcheng, which means that the bird also has the ambition of Pengcheng Wanli.
This name is really laughable, and he is not less ridiculed in Grandma's Mansion, and because he is a miscellaneous worker, and he is mostly a helper in the inn, he is openly said, and secretly said: "His poor and sour life, at a glance, is a cheap life when he is a little second, Yan Pengcheng, I bah." I didn't like to call him by his name, so I called him Yan Xiaoer.
Yan Pengcheng is not annoyed, if someone calls him like this, he also responds with a smile, he has nothing to do on weekdays, so he goes to Pu Xiucai's house next door to help, pours tea and water, cleans up the room, and is familiar with it, Pu Xiucai is not bad-hearted, so he taught Yan Pengcheng to hold a pen and learn words.
Yan Pengcheng is his own name for the first time, writing Yan Pengcheng over and over again, until he keeps it in mind, he is willing to learn other words, and he will get the hang of it as soon as he learns. But he lent him more books from his collection.
In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, and the ancient books of the General History, Yan Pengcheng also likes to hold a few volumes of strange books such as the Great Wilderness and the Journey to the East, and the strange books that talk about the rivers and lakes.
This time, the two braved the spicy sun to go out of the ghost town at noon, all because of the things in the bamboo basket in their hands.
The two of them carried a bamboo basket, and the things placed in the bamboo basket were roughly purple, and the leaf rings were like hibiscus, which was the purple river car, which was called a twin in the yang world, and it was transformed into such a shape in the yin soil.
They walked a few more steps, and saw a small river around the city, this is the washing river, Yan Pengcheng took out the brocade document from the bamboo basket, and read: "Sichuan Shu Yuan Shangfu, take five hundred taels of cloud silk silver, wash five times." β
"Those who wash the purple river car, those who wash ten times, the children are beautiful and noble, those who wash two or three times, the people who are normal, those who do not wash, and those who are stupid and dirty." This kind of thing was originally assigned to the ghosts to take care of it, and grandma was the ghost mother of Yinshan, and she also had a lot of power in the capital, so she intercepted part of the quota and made money in the world.
There is no fun in washing the purple river car, and there are all kinds of bitterness over and over again, especially when you go out of the city at noon, the big day is panicked, even the yin soldiers and ghost generals are afraid of three points, not to mention that they are ghosts, this kind of hard work is not their turn, but one by one, it is pushed down to the two of them, Yan Pengcheng and the Saishen Monkey were sent to do this.
"Lang Riglang, Lang Riglang, the scenery is good on a sunny day, and the red flowers are green grass. I ran forward happily, walking all over the green mountains, and the people are not old. β
The stream sparkled in the sunlight, and then there was a burst of singing on the opposite bank, Yan Pengcheng looked up and looked at it from afar, and saw a Taoist priest with wide sleeves, blue shirts, and unkempt hair striding forward, singing loudly while walking, and the road was endlessly comfortable.
"Second Brother Yan, what is there to see, it must be just a new ghost who has just died." The Saishen Monkey glanced at it, muttered, and was busy washing the Zihe car, which was very strict under the rule of grandma, and would be severely punished if he neglected it. For the race monkey, although he is not big, he also understands that what he is most afraid of is his grandmother, and the most respectful is the second brother Yan.
Yan Pengcheng didn't refute it, but just looked at it in his heart, thinking in his heart, "This person is so happy." "Envy is full of envy, and he can't wait to be replaced, this kind of ease, even a new ghost is better than a servant like him who has been hooked and sold.
Sighing to himself, he was about to continue washing the purple river car, the Taoist on this side happened to be close, Yan Feipeng's eyes were staggered, and he suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and when he looked at it, the sun fell on the Taoist, and a shadow was born obliquely, this is a living person!
"This ......"
He was horrified in his heart, although the Yin soil is the Yin soil, but it also borders the Yang world, but the living people strayed into this place, as soon as the sun sets, the demons and monsters come out, this person is only afraid that it will be difficult to live.
Gotta get him out of the way!
Yan Pengcheng couldn't care about the Zihe car in his hand, and in a hurry, he put it away, "Dao Chang, and stay." He hurriedly chased after him, and shouted across the river towards the opposite bank.
The more he chased, the more anxious he became, Yan Pengcheng found that this person was not fast, but under the pursuit of him, he was out of breath, his calves were sore, numb and painful, he still couldn't catch up with this person, and he couldn't even see his body shape, and after a while, the Taoist in the distance was like the size of a needle's eye, so he could only stop and return the same way.
"This man is so weird." It's just that all the way back, the more Yan Pengcheng thinks about it, the more strange it becomes, and he is also a little curious in his heart, what is the origin of this person, and why did he stray into this place, or here.
With a mind full of doubts, I returned to the original place along the river, and saw the Saishen monkey kneeling on the ground, and there were two women standing next to it, the first one was wearing a big red dress, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, with a bit of charm in his eyes, and there seemed to be a fragrance on his body, or coquettishness.
"Hu Suhuai." Seeing who this person was, Yan Pengcheng frowned, the current woman was not a good person, and she bullied them a lot on weekdays.
Looking at it again, there was a woman behind Hu Suhuai, but fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a white dress, with a delicate figure, her muscles reflected Liu Xia, her feet were thin, her appearance was beautiful, and she had an ethereal and ghostly temperament, standing cowardly on the side.
"Nie Xiaoqian is also here." This is also a poor person, I heard her say that she was originally a young lady from a large family in Chang'an, and she was born with weak bones and couldn't survive it, so a wisp of incense drifted to the capital and became a maid under her grandmother.
"Smack!" Crisp applause suddenly rang out.
"Where did Yan Xiaoer go?" Hu Suhuai slapped the Saishen Monkey in the face, "Master Qu asked you to wash the Zihe car, Yan Xiaoer actually left halfway, he didn't want to die." He asked sharply.
The Saishen Monkey was slapped in the face, did not fight back, did not speak, and closed his teeth, the Saishen Monkey knew that if she didn't know, she would be able to find the second brother Yan who was ruthless from the beginning.
This angered Hu Suhuai even more, and he was about to slap him again, but Nie Xiaoqian next to him interjected timidly: "Sister Suhuai, Second Brother Yan may be in a hurry to leave for a while, or let's wait a while." β
Hu Suhuai showed a look of disgust, "Here is a place for you to interject?" Go aside. β
"Here." Yan Pengcheng saw that she was going to fan the Race Monkey, and immediately spoke up.
"Yan Xiaoer, where have you been!" Seeing that Yan Pengcheng finally appeared, Hu Suhuai asked sharply.
Yan Pengcheng glanced at his eyes, but responded lightly: "I'm in a hurry, just go out to relieve myself." β
"You dare to lie to me!" Hu Suhuai sneered: "Okay, you Yan Xiaoer, you are quite honest on weekdays, I don't want to go out of the city, no one cares about you, you dare to be lazy and slippery." Yue raised her eyebrows, and unceremoniously ordered: "Don't come and kneel yet." β
"Sister Hu, Second Brother Yan is not that kind of person." Nie Xiaoqian saw that the Race Monkey was slapped before, her face was full of red marks, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart, in this Xudu, she had just arrived under her grandmother's hands for less than half a month, and she had not yet been infected with the ghosts and scheming of the people around her, and she was black-hearted, and when she thought that Yan Pengcheng was going to be slapped this time, she couldn't help but plead.
"Dead, who made you talk too much!" Hu Suhuai's expression changed, and the corners of his eyes were tricky, "Why, I feel sorry for you, I have long seen that you are merciful to him everywhere." These words made Nie Xiaoqian's eyes red, and she didn't refute it, but just kept silent.
Hu Suhuai saw that Nie Xiaoqian was silent, Hu Suhuai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and actually reached out and pinched the meat on her waist hard, but he couldn't pinch a few taels of meat hard, and she didn't know how much thinner she to, and she was even more annoyed: "If you are born with a noble species, what is the cost of this death, if you are good again, believe it or not, I will go to my grandmother, and I will make all your family sick and die at the head of the bed with a piece of paper." β
As soon as these words fell, Nie Xiaoqian's sobbing voice came out, and the sharp pain in her waist made her shoulders tremble, and she was afraid to make a move, Hu Suhuai was satisfied in her heart, what if you are born noble, you are not bullied by me.
Only Nie Xiaoqian, a weak woman with a pale face, was even more pale and weak.
Yan Pengcheng's face sank when he saw this, most of these maids under his grandmother were good at drilling camps, competing with each other for grandma's favor, fighting openly and secretly, Yan Pengcheng had encountered it several times in the past, if he hadn't been cautious, he would have almost fallen into this pile of things.
Xiaoqian has just arrived, unlike these people, no matter what happens in the future, at least now she can't let Hu Suhuai's red mouth and white teeth ruin her reputation, let alone be bullied by Hu Suhuai like this because of herself.
"Hu Suhuai!" Yan Pengcheng roared angrily, with an arrow step, unceremoniously stretched out his hand and opened her hand, casually pulled Xiaoqian behind him, looked at Hu Suhuai, and said word by word: "You are just a servant girl under grandma, serve grandma decently, we reluctantly say a few words to you, respect you as great, you are so arrogant that you don't even recognize grandma." β
"Nonsense." Yan Pengcheng's words startled her and made her panic in her heart, "What do you mean by this." β
"You and Xiaoqian are just grandmothers and maids, and now, if you want to beat and scold her, you will scold, and you will go to grandma and let her whole family die of illness at the bedside, it's ridiculous, what are you, grandma has always instructed you, and now you can instruct grandma. You just slapped the Saishen Monkey, I'm afraid that it will really make trouble for Grandma, I'm afraid that you will end badly, don't forget, you're just a cheap maid. β
As soon as these words fell, they really tore their faces, so angry that Hu Suhuai almost crushed her silver teeth, but these words also completely woke her up, although Hu Suhuai's maidservants were close to her grandmother, and they were better than Yan Pengcheng's servants just because they were familiar, but for grandma, their status was not different, and she was a maid beside her grandma, and in the eyes of grandma, she was just a lowly servant in the eyes of grandma. On weekdays, she can still scare them, but if she is really going to make a big fuss, she is afraid that she will cause trouble, and she is indeed a little carried away.
My heart was cold, and when I saw Nie Xiaoqian's pretty face, I felt a burst of hatred in my heart, little slut, you are also making fun of me in your heart, and looking at Yan Pengcheng, the two exchanged eyes, Yan Pengcheng did not back down, Hu Suhuai's face was gloomy, and finally he snorted lightly, turned around and left, but he made up his mind to pay attention, and he must find a way to kill these people.
Just as she was about to turn around, the sudden Saishen Monkey fell to the ground, and the two of them got close, and fell at her feet at once, tripping her.
"You." Hu Suhuai was furious.
Yan Pengcheng's face changed, and he yelled at her: "What are you, okay, you are really amazing, you slap people unconscious." β
"It's his own weakness, how could I knock him unconscious." Hu Suhuai also panicked in his heart, and hurriedly got up and left.
Seeing her walk away in two steps, Yan Pengcheng breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Nie Xiaoqian's gaze, and smiled: "Even you were scolded." β
Nie Xiaoqian shook her head slightly, lowered her head, and said softly, "Thank you, Second Brother Yan." After speaking, she seemed to remember what Hu Suhuai had said before, and she blushed herself, "Sister Hu, I'll be more careful." He hurriedly caught up with Hu Suhuai.
Seeing that she also walked away, Yan Pengcheng stretched out his foot and kicked the Saishen Monkey.
"Okay, they're all gone, don't pretend."
"Second Brother Yan still understands me." The Race God Monkey smiled and got up from the ground. Monkey spirit, monkey spirit, is talking about the god monkey. Yan Pengcheng didn't understand it, he looked like an ape, with rough skin and thick flesh like an ape, how could he be slapped and his physical strength was exhausted.
"Second Brother Yan, I touched something good." The Race God Monkey bared his teeth and smiled, "Look at this." β
As soon as he spread out his hand, a handful of iron plaques were spread out in the palm of his hand, these iron plaques were half the size of a palm, strung together with copper wire, and carved with five big ghosts, with red fangs, lifelike.
"This is the Five Ghost Token." Yan Pengcheng picked up this thing, looked at it carefully, and still recognized it, "But this is the token of the ghost soldier, how can it be on her." He thought in his heart, these iron cards are the tokens of the ghost soldiers and the magic weapons of the spirits, although he can't tell how many grades they are, but no matter how they are for the ghost soldiers, they are generally personal and must-have, how can they be in Hu Suhuai's hands, isn't it her good friend for her?
"Second Brother Yan." The Saishen Monkey didn't think about it so much, but he was still a little nervous, after all, although Hu Suhuai was shocked for a while, he couldn't have any bad ideas.
"Don't panic." Yan Pengcheng thought about it, thinking that this matter would not end like this, he was bold, but he was not afraid, and he breathed a sigh of hatred, "I provoked her today, it's a big deal that she said a few bad things about Master Qu, and you will all blame me then." β
"If she has any other means, I'll take it all."
