"Hiss~hiss~"

In the half-human-high grass, a flower snake with a thick bowl mouth crawled forward rapidly, while constantly flicking the rope tied to the snake's tail.

The other end of the rope was pulled by a girl in white, the girl's white clothes were elegant, her long black hair was flying in the wind, her eyes were full of excitement, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.

She followed the flower snake and ran with her legs barely to keep up, she lived in the mountains for a long time, and the snakes nearby were all caught, and today it was hard to catch a new arrival, how to say it, you have to know it first, no.

"Don't run away, I'm not a bad person, and I don't eat snake meat, I like snakes very much, my name is Yeqing, I just want to make friends with you, you see that you must be very spiritual when you grow so big, you must be able to understand me!" Yeqing was out of breath when she ran, and she really couldn't run.

"If you run again, I'll call someone to collect you!"

When the flower snake heard this, it climbed faster, and crawled forward desperately, trying to shake off the night blue.

Yeqing was born to love snakes, so she was naturally reluctant to hurt it, and when she saw it crawling fast, she loosened the rope and let her go, but she was unhappy and muttered: "I don't want to make a friend, I'm so stingy!" ”

Suddenly, there was a heat on her feet, something climbed up, Ye Qing hurriedly pulled the grass open, and a black snake thicker than the flower snake climbed up her legs, Ye Qing became happy, and asked while watching the black snake climb up, "You are also new here, right?" My name is Yeqing, how about we make friends? I can introduce you to a lot of the same kind, and the snakes here are very hospitable! Aren't snakes all cold, though, and why are you hot? ”

The black snake crawled over slowly, climbed up her strands, wrapped around her waist, and finally by the time she reacted, she was already entangled and motionless.

The head of the snake was facing Ye Qing's face, and the black eyes were staring at Ye Qing fixedly, one person and one snake looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, and Ye Qing stared at each other: "Why are you so rude, snake, can you still make friends happily!" ”

The black snake tilted his head, and without opening his mouth, he said in human language: "Mere mortals, don't say crazy words!" ”

For the first time, Yeqing saw a snake that had been cultivated, not only did it have spirituality, but it could also speak human words, "Well, I just don't know if I can transform into a human form." ”

As soon as the words fell, the light and shadow flashed in front of Ye Qing, her body was loose, her feet were light, and she was still entangled and strong, but at this moment, she was held in the arms of a man in black.

The man's phoenix eyes and black eyes, his eyebrows are like ink edges, and there is a kind of bearing between his eyebrows that cannot be reached by mortals, and it is even more handsome that cannot be reached by mortals. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, his well-defined face softened, and the depth of his eyes, with indescribable emotion when he looked at Ye Qing, finally melted into a smile on his thin lips.

Ye Qing stared at the man in black who suddenly appeared in front of her with big watery eyes, looking at this handsome face and being distracted, it took a while before she suddenly noticed that something was wrong, pushed him violently, jumped out of his arms, and stayed away from him, "You snake, it's so rude!" I'm not going to be friends with you anymore! ”

The man looked at Yeqing with a smile, and in a flash, he came to Yeqing, and the long figure blocked Yeqing in his shadow, blocking her way, "Don't make friends anymore?" ”

Ye Qing somehow, she obviously likes snakes very much, and she also likes to look at good-looking faces, but she just can't be interested in the handsome snake in front of her, not only is she not interested, but she also wants to avoid him from afar, "Don't hand it over, you're busy with yours, I also have something to do, take a step first, and then it will be indefinite!" ”

After saying that, Yeqing was about to run, but he grabbed his clothes and pulled them back, and leaned in front of her with a smile: "Since you are not a friend, then you have to settle the account, I am here to bask in the sun, and you disturbed my dreams and ruined my practice, how do you compensate me?" ”

Yeqing was stunned, what else is there to say? Didn't he be rude first, why was it all her fault? That's it, "Snake Fairy spares your life, I have nothing to compensate you, besides, I even told you my name, aren't we friends, why bother so much between friends, don't you say?" ”

Black Snake smiled: "Since we are friends, then take me to your house to sit down, so that I can come and go later." ”

You can't live because of your own sin, Ye Qing complained bitterly in her heart, why did she come out to catch the snake today, she didn't want to have anything to do with this black snake, but she was entangled by him.

Han Zhuo is right, today is a small misfortune, it is not appropriate to go out.

Ye Qing broke the hand of the black snake and said with a smile: "Brother Snake, my relatives in my family are seriously ill, and it is inconvenient to entertain them, I will come here again to make amends when he is a day, and I will say goodbye today, the coming day will be long, the coming day will be long!" ”

When the black snake heard her say this, he really let her go, looked at her back as if she was running away, and repeated two sentences in his mouth: "The coming day is long"

Ye Qingtou didn't dare to run back, for fear that the black snake would change his mind and catch her back, so he ran to his thatched house in one breath, unable to say anything tired, and gasped for a long time before relieving his breath.

A glass of water was handed over, Yeqing took it and drank it all, and said: "You're right, it's really not appropriate to go out today, I bumped into a snake spirit, and I almost couldn't come back." ”

"There is no aura on this mountain, there can be no spirits." The person who handed the water sat down beside Yeqing unhurriedly, holding a cup in one hand with a pair of slender and miserable white hands, and pouring her another glass of water with a pot in the other.

"It's true, that snake spirit can still transform into a human form, it's still hot, it is estimated that it is about to cultivate into an immortal!" Yeqing took the water and saw that Han Zhuo didn't believe it, and he didn't drink the water anymore and argued with him.

There was a trace of doubt on Han Zhuo's handsome but bloodless face, and he muttered for a while, "I'm afraid it's not a snake spirit, it's probably an illusion of an earth immortal, and it happened to be touched by you, and it took on a human form." ”

Yeqing suddenly realized: "No wonder I don't see many birds and beasts when I go up the mountain today, it turns out that there are earth immortals, and those little guys don't dare to come out." ”

After saying the snake spirit, Ye Qing hurriedly opened the small package wrapped around her waist to reveal the herbs carefully wrapped inside, and put it in front of Han Zhuo, "You see if these are enough, I could have picked more today, but in order to get rid of the snake spirit, I don't dare to stay on the mountain longer, if it is not enough, I will go to the farther mountain to find it." ”

Han Zhuo gently held up this small bag of herbs, his expression became heavy, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "Yeqing, I'm afraid that Ye Taigong has reached the limit and has no power to return to the sky." ”

The teacup paused when it came to her mouth, and Yeqing slammed the cup on the table, "I don't believe it!" My grandfather lived a long life, and you were not allowed to crow's mouth! ”

After speaking, he ran to the door of another room, hesitated, sorted out his emotions, and then pushed the door open, smiled and called "grandpa".

There was a white-bearded old man lying on the straw mat in the room, and when he saw Yeqing coming in, he smiled and beckoned her withered yellow and thin hand: "Xiao Qing'er, come here." ”

Ye Qing hurriedly stepped forward to take Ye Song's hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa, the wind is beautiful today, why don't I take you to the courtyard for a walk?" ”

"Okay, the herbs you picked are very curative, and grandpa feels much better today, so let's go out for a walk." After saying that, he got up from the straw mat without much effort.

Ye Qing saw that Ye Song was moving freely, and thought that his condition was improving, but Han Zhuo said beside him: "Ye Qing, you have a preparation in your heart, Ye Taigong is returning to the light, I'm afraid he won't survive tonight." ”

Ye Song naturally couldn't hear Han Zhuo's words, Ye Qing's heart fell to the bottom, and she almost burst into tears, so she took advantage of Ye Song's efforts to get up and sniffed hard, put on a smiling face, and helped the old man out of the door slowly.

Ye Song said slowly as he walked: "Xiao Qing'er, our family is poor, grandpa has never let you live a good life, and before leaving, I have to let you take care of me, grandpa can't stand you." ”

"Grandpa, the kindness of nurturing cannot be repaid, this is what I should do, you live a long life, don't say those bad words." Yeqing endured her crying, pretending to be smiling, pretending to be disgusted and making Yesong happy.

Ye Song sighed: "As soon as I die, a bad old man, I just can't rest assured of you, grandpa can't watch you get married and have children, if you find your in-laws in the future, I like Luo Song who often plays with you, knowledgeable, honest, and very attentive to you, marry him, grandpa Jiuquan can also rest assured." ”

Never said that Ye Song was getting married and having children, Ye Qing was vague, and he forked into other words, without mentioning a word.

Han Zhuo didn't say anything on the side.

Time flies by in a flash, it was almost evening, Ye Song and Ye Qing talked and laughed for a long time, suddenly said that he was tired, so he leaned on the rattan chair in the courtyard to rest, Ye Qing was afraid that he would catch a cold, went to get a blanket, and when he came back, Ye Song was still lying on the rattan chair, but by the rattan chair, there was another night pine.

Yeqing's tears finally fell, "Grandpa! ”

Ye Song, who was standing, looked at himself, and then at Ye Song on the rattan chair, smiled, and stepped forward to wipe Ye Qing's tears: "It turns out that people are so easy to turn into ghosts after death, you see that grandpa is now like this, I don't know how many times better than that sickness, don't cry, don't cry, grandpa is leaving, you smile, grandpa is so relieved." ”

Ye Qing sobbed and pulled a smile that was more ugly than crying, Ye Song nodded, "Okay, grandpa is gone." ”

Han Zhuo stepped forward: "Ye Taigong, I'll send you." ”

After the death of a person, the soul needs to go to the city god to report, wait for the arrangement, on the way to the city god temple, Han Zhuo and Ye Song walked side by side, Ye Qing followed behind the two and could not accept the fact that Ye Song had passed away.

Along the way, I met many lonely souls and wild ghosts, and when I saw the newly dead Night Song, I wanted to come forward to suck some Yang Qi that had not yet dissipated, and when I saw that Ye Song was still followed by Han Zhuo, I was so frightened by the extremely cold Yin Qi on his body that I avoided far away, and I didn't dare to approach.

Seeing this, Ye Song said: "Over the years, I thought that Xiao Qing'er's love of talking to herself was caused by loneliness, but it turned out that I was talking to you, but I couldn't see it with my naked eyes." Your mana is so profound, my old man asks Daxian to ensure that she is well for the rest of her life, and the old man is grateful for the rest of her life! ”

Han Zhuo glanced back at Ye Qing and said to Ye Song: "Ye Taigong has won the award, I am just a ghost, she is kind to me, I should protect her for eternity, Ye Taigong can be reincarnated with confidence." ”

Ye Song nodded: "So good, very good." ”

"Chill!" Yeqing ran up from behind, grabbed Han Zhuo and asked: "You can stay in the world to be a ghost, why can't you leave grandpa behind, grandpa said that being a ghost is easier than being a human, then let's leave grandpa behind!" ”

"Nonsense! How easy do you think it is to be a ghost? I had an obsession with refusing to be reincarnated, so I became a terrible ghost, but if you can be reincarnated as a human being, who wants to wander outside the Three Realms, don't hurt Ye Taigong on a whim! Han Zhuo's voice was stern, and Yeqing wilted again, no longer speaking.

When I arrived at the City God Temple, it was already late, and it was inconvenient for Han Zhuo to enter, so I went in with the night pine by the night blue.

The city god is the magistrate of the Yin Division, in charge of the affairs of the registration and reporting of the soul of the yang world, and the world takes the city god as the god of protection, and worships and worships it, and attaches great importance to it. Therefore, this mountain village in the eastern suburbs is not big, but the Chenghuang Temple is very magnificent, with stone bricks and green tiles, high walls and red doors, which are many times better than the thatched houses in the eastern suburbs.

Yeqing has sighed to Han Zhuo since she was a child, when will she be able to live in a good house like the City God Temple? At that time, she didn't worry about the roof leaking when it rained, and she didn't worry about the roof being overturned when it was windy, she and her grandfather could live comfortably and securely every day, and maybe her grandfather wouldn't be seriously ill.

Now standing in front of the City God Temple, Ye Qing sighed in her heart, Ye Song patted her hand, and the two walked in with each other.

There are many newly dead souls gathered inside, the city god sits in front of his tall and majestic stone statue and is busy flipping through a thick booklet, the boy under the city god seat will arrange the souls one by one and wait for the arrangement, and when he walks to Yesong, he issued a number plate, and handed a number plate to Yeqing, she pinched the boy's face: "Xiaotuanzi, you can see clearly, I am a living person!" ”

The little boy was short in stature, only up to Yeqing's waist, his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were childish, he looked up at Yeqing, blushed, and took back the number plate: "Tsk, a yin body, it turned out to be a living person, and I looked away." ”

Yesong was the last, and the little boy stood not far from Yeqing after issuing the number plate, always peeking at Yeqing, and finally couldn't hold back after a while and moved to the side of Yeqing, and said seriously: "Cough, whose girl are you, how old are you, where do you live?" ”

Yeqing was puzzled, "It's not me who is reincarnated, what are you asking me to do?" ”

The little boy blushed: "When the family comes, you have to ask carefully, what if something goes wrong, can you afford it!" ”

"My name is Yeqing, I live in Xiaohe Village in the eastern suburbs of the west of the city, I am eighteen this year, what else do I have to ask?"

"Yes, are you married?"

Ye Qing smiled and pinched the little boy's face vigorously: "You little group, fake public and private, you have begun to think about the affairs of men and women at a young age!" ”

The little boy slapped Yeqing's hand away and blushed: "What do you know! I need this image, I can make your beautiful eyes stars when I become an adult! Besides, I'm much better than you, and it's your blessing to fancy you, how many mortals don't have this chance to marry our fairy! ”

"Do you know what love is, marrying a man and a woman is not as simple as you think, and I have already promised to marry someone, it's a pity that you are late." Ye Qingyun lightly hit the little boy, and felt funny in his heart.

A soul who had just come in came over next to him, and said in Yeqing's ear: "The ghost king has a message, the situation is not good, leave quickly." ”

Han Zhuo spread the word that the situation was not good, but her grandfather had not been reincarnated yet, how could she put her mind at ease, Ye Qing's hesitant kung fu Han Zhuo had already come in, and pulled Ye Qing and said, "Why are you so slow, go quickly!" ”

The little boy grabbed Han Zhuo and asked Yeqing, "Have you promised to marry him?" Do you know that people and ghosts have different paths, why can't you see it so much, if I don't curse you, you will be damned! ”

Ye Qing glared and slapped the little boy: "What nonsense, what kind of curse!" ”

Han Zhuo didn't have time to chat, and he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Ye Song, so he dragged Ye Qing out, and Ye Qing struggled desperately, "Han Zhuo, what are you crazy about!" Grandpa hasn't sent it away yet! ”

"Chilling?!" The little boy cried out in surprise.

"Chilling !!" Chenghuang slammed the booklet in his hand and pointed at Han Zhuo angrily, "Catch him!" ”
