Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Ghost Gate

His eldest son Xia is very self-aware, and he can't get out of that kid, and he is choked enough. Besides, even if he can come out, he won't dare, that place is better to wait for him to die in the future, and then go to live forever, and now it's better to stay away.

Hongchen put down his words and went back.

For the next two months, she didn't do anything like this, and lived as usual every day, but began to sew black robes. He soaked his needle and thread in cinnabar and medicinal powder, and sewed various runes on it.

Her needlework is okay, and she does this very quickly.

It's just that the leisure time seems to be a little less, and now that I go to the academy to study, Hongchen is always watched, and from time to time there is a senior brother, a senior sister or something, who comes over to discuss with her about the inner courtyard of the palace.

There are still a lot of senior brothers, after all, there are only a few female students in the academy. began to deal with men more and more gradually, Luo Niang and Ah Yan in Hongchen's family, they became a little nervous, quite entangled, even the clothes prepared for Hongchen are also bright colors today, the style is exquisite and chic, and it is full of fairy spirit to wear, and tomorrow it will become a very good material, but the color is gray, look at it ordinary, the day after tomorrow she will be very immature, comb her hair is a double ring head, tie a pink bead flower and it will be over, and the day after tomorrow, she will be dressed up in a stable and dignified manner.

Hongchen doesn't mind, anyway, Luo Niang is here, these trivial things around her are all Luo Niang's decision, as long as she doesn't stay old and move, let her and her family wear the same color and the same pattern of clothes.

Well, Luo Niang doesn't often do this kind of thing on her, as for kittens and raccoons. There are also a few younger girls...... Ahem, other people's affairs, Hongchen has never interfered much, and he didn't even care about Ah Yan if he didn't see it?

It's still a while until July.

Hongchen did a lot of preparations, and the Liu family's chief was very sensible, and he personally sent a large number of gifts.

Don't look at his family, he doesn't look rich, and there are not even a few people left, but there are definitely a lot of good things saved.

When Liu Wu's only son was there, he was a master carver and inherited his father's good skills. A pair of hands. A carving knife, one person can earn an industry that can make future generations comfortable for a lifetime, and now Chang Sui takes out two of the old master's things casually, and Hongchen is very happy. Even the long followed the front and back. I want to ask the reason why his young master caused trouble. She didn't bother either.

"Young Master Liu is like an evil spirit, possessed by evil things, and sucked in essence. Coupled with his bad habits, it will naturally not be good. ”

Hongchen is also guessing, but the guess should not be too unreliable, "But I think that evil thing is not irrational, but aimed at your young master, it must have formed a cause and effect with the Liu family, since your old man specially invited back the two door gods early in the morning, it is also very targeted, maybe he knows that his own family has this calamity, and the cause and effect are afraid that it is in his old man's family, and your young master purely suffers from the pond fish." ”

Chang Sui was stunned.

Hongchen smiled: "It's a guess, don't take it to heart, it's not a big problem for the door god to come back." ”

How could it not be! Chang Sui's face changed greatly, if he inadvertently caused a disaster, it would be solved, and there would be no accidents in the future, but if this matter was aimed at their family, then what would it do? If you don't get started once, who knows if there will be a next time.

"Miss Hongchen!" Chang Sui cried, "You can help our young master no matter what!" "If this matter is not traced back to the source, dig out the roots and clean up, he will not be at ease for the rest of his life, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves.

"I'm afraid that the door god will treat the symptoms but not the root cause, if you come again, the small, the small one is sorry for our old man!"

Hongchen was speechless, and only said after a while: "You let me trace the source?" This is the wrong person, what's going on, how to solve the problem, shouldn't you go to your old man to ask clearly? ”

Chang Sui thought about it, it is true, it is not appropriate to find Miss Hongchen for this matter, but you have to ask your own old man first.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was July 15th.

July 15 ghost door opened, in fact, this month is the Ghost Festival, every household here in Qixian County has bought a dead vessel, worship the ancestors, and some people even if no one in the family has died, but also go to the street to burn some paper money, so that the lonely souls and wild ghosts can have some money to spend, not to give birth to right and wrong.

There are not many guests in the teahouse today, and no one goes out at night, Xia Shijie came over at noon with Shifeng according to Hongchen's requirements, in fact, Hongchen asked him to come back at night, but this guy refuses to walk at night, and would rather lose some people than go out early.

Hongchen didn't mind, and directly asked Shi Feng to send him to the guest room, covered with white cloth on all sides, and lit a lamp in front of his head.

When he was ready, and asked Luo Niang to help take care of it, Hongchen grabbed a handful of silver coins and planned to go out.

Xia Shijie followed around, seeing that she was leaving, Deng Shi frowned and asked, "How do you want to pick him up?" When to go? ”

Hongchen smiled: "You're too early, I'm going to buy something, and besides, it's not me, it's us, and you will go with me when the time comes." ”

Xia Shijie was stunned, as soon as he heard Hongchen say this, he forgot to ask what people wanted to buy, and his face turned green: "Ah? ”

"It's not easy to get in or out of the ghost gate, I go in alone, the yang energy on my body is not heavy enough, I can't deter those lonely souls and wild ghosts, it's much better for you to be with me, and it's easy to walk with the teacher when the time comes."

Hongchen shrugged his shoulders very carelessly, "And you and Shigongzi have known each other since childhood, and they have a good relationship, and they are connected to each other, so it is easier for you to go in and find him." ”

“…… Haven't you already found someone? Xia Shijie's face darkened again, gritted his teeth, and still had a glimmer of hope, dying and struggling, "I don't understand anything, wouldn't it be a burden to follow?" Otherwise, how about looking for someone else, my little girl is bold, and I know Shifeng, and I have a good relationship with him......"

Hongchen didn't hear it, so he went out with the money, "You make mental preparations, I'll go buy some talismans first, well, go to places like the ghost gate, don't you worry if you don't have the talisman, in case you get two more wild ghosts in addition to Shifeng, wouldn't it be very troublesome...... But if you're interested, find a ghost to go home to, and I promise I won't laugh at you. ”

Xia Shijie: "......" He also followed him out of the door, amulets or something. He doesn't know if the little girl needs it or not, he definitely has to want it.

The two of them went to the street, Xia Shijie turned a lot of magic weapon shops, as long as it was a glance at the red dust, he bought them all, and he didn't spare money at all, what Guanyin, such as Buddha, the golden bowl for catching ghosts and demons, and the bronze bell for the soul. Peachwood sword. Mahogany Buddha beads......

Hongchen only bought a bunch of food, chicken, duck and fish, fresh fruits and tea, all of which were packaged. It was Xia Shijie who paid the bill. This kind of time. It is estimated that Hongchen asked him to buy something, and he wouldn't even blink an eye.

After purchasing, Xia Shijie hugged a bunch of things. Seeing Hongchen stretching his waist and wanting to leave, except for food and drink, his hands were empty, and he was dumbfounded: "This is going back?" ”

"Hmm."

"Didn't you buy an amulet?"

Xia Shijie was stunned.

Hongchen smiled: "Didn't you buy a bunch of them?" I'm tired and out of breath, what am I still buying that thing for, and it's not a lot of money to burn. ”

Xia Shijie gritted his teeth, and his face suddenly felt a little bad: "Could it be that I don't use these things?" ”

"Why didn't it work?" Hongchen smiled again, "This Guanyin jade pendant is very good-looking, it is very qualified to be used as decorations, and the golden bowl can be fed...... Dine! ”

She said that she could feed the dogs, right, Xia Shijie took a deep breath, next time he goes out again, he will definitely bring ten or eight of the best spirit masters with him, and when he arrives in such a place, he will sweep away all kinds of magic weapons and kill those profiteers.

Carrying a bunch of food, Hongchen went back to the teahouse, and after dinner, the sky darkened, and the green mountains lit up one after another, at first glance, like a nebula.

Hongchen changed his clothes, put on the black robe, and gave Xia Shijie another one, Xia Shijie hesitated, or put it on honestly, the robe was a little ill-fitting, too small, revealing most of his legs, he was very insecure, but after thinking about it, he still didn't pick a thorn.

"Let's go." As he spoke, Hongchen spilled out of the house in a dashing manner.

Xia Shijie's feet were soft, he was flustered, he was uncomfortable everywhere, and even his legs hurt, as if he had blistered on his feet from grinding in the mountains last time, and he was obviously better, but now he will relapse.

It's foggy today.

Surrounded by mountains, at a glance, the mountains are full of water vapor, hazy, and even the moonlight is dim and obscure.

There was still fire at the foot of the mountain, Xia Shijie's heart tightened, and he swallowed his saliva, he probably knew that it was the nearby villagers burning paper, but he still couldn't help but feel a little unlucky.

"Miss Hongchen, what are we going to do?"

"Just follow me." Hongchen's face also became serious, and he walked forward step by step, refusing to turn back at all.

"Don't pay attention to any sound you hear, let alone turn back, the speed must be fast, don't hesitate to delay time, once the ghost door is closed, we have to stay here for a whole year, it's not a joke, we will definitely die, and you must not think nonsense, just focus on one thing, find the teacher's style, and return to the present world."

Xia Shijie trembled, he was even more afraid, he wanted to turn his head and run away, but he couldn't turn back, he didn't even have the courage to escape, as he walked, he felt a cloud of fog rise under his feet, spreading from bottom to top, and there were strange sounds faintly in his ears, like crying and shouting, and there were also crazy laughs.

The scenery on both sides seems to have changed, the mountains disappeared, but a long river came out, he couldn't help but glance sideways, the river water is crystal clear, the bottom is full of delicate white sand, the sand on the bank is also snow-white, occasionally some white solid fragments, I don't know what's going on, he especially wants to reach out and grab a handful, but as soon as he lowered his head, his arm stinged, and his spirit was lifted, and he suddenly stopped.

Hongchen seemed to smile in front of him: "After entering the ghost gate, if you want to take something away, you can be careful to leave your soul behind." ”

As she spoke, she casually took out a peachwood sword, and she didn't know where she put it, and with a wave of her hand, the surrounding fog suddenly dissipated.

Xia Shijie's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened, under this mist, the river was tumbling with white bones, and even the white objects on the bank were also bones, and his feet didn't dare to move all of a sudden.

Could it be that the white sand under your feet is also sand made of broken bones?

"Ahh

Xia Shijie suddenly screamed, covered his mouth again, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and Hongchen couldn't cry or laugh: "What are you shouting?" ”

"Something grabbed my foot."

His voice began to tremble, and he was hoarse.

Xia Shijie suddenly thought that he hadn't even written a suicide note, he wanted to write it before coming today, but he was afraid of bad luck. I knew it would be like this, he should have written one, no, he shouldn't have come with him at all!

Hongchen glanced at him, calmly whitened him, and picked up a black claw on his ankle with a peachwood sword.

"Don't be afraid, it's just some geismans, if you're not afraid of them, they will naturally avoid you."

Geist ......

The corners of Xia Shijie's mouth twitched. I really don't understand whether Hongchen is a woman or not. You can be so calm in the face of such a thing!

There was a little sweat stain in his eyes, he squeezed his eyes, stared at Hongchen hard, and frowned for a while. Squinted again. I took a serious look. Puzzled: "Uh, that peachwood sword ......"

"Oh, thank you for buying it!"

Xia Shijie: "......" He thought he was wrong. I didn't think it was the one I bought.

"This thing works?"

Hongchen turned his head and glared at him in surprise, so frightened that Xia Shijie opened his mouth wide: "Don't, don't look back!" "Didn't you just say you must not turn back or something!

"That's you, if you can't even turn back, you dare to come in with me?" Hongchen shrugged his shoulders and raised the peachwood sword in his hand, "This thing is made of serious peachwood, although it is not lightning strike wood, but it is also hundreds of years old, how can it not work?" What do you think! ”

The red dust is incredible.

Xia Shijie was about to cry: "But, but you said that the things I bought are useless!" ”

This red dust is not admitted.

"Don't talk nonsense, I wouldn't say something so uncommon-sense." Hongchen frowned, "When did I say that the peachwood sword you bought is useless?" I clearly said it would work. ”

Xia Shijie: "......"

He thought about it carefully, as if she hadn't said it, she just said that the Guanyin jade pendant was an ornament, and the golden bowl could be used as a dog basin, but this was obviously deliberately misleading, and the corners of Xia Shijie's mouth twitched.

Hongchen also smiled and said: "I see that you threw down this pile of things, it's a pity, just help you use it, don't thank me too much." ”

“…… Let's find Shi Feng quickly and go back quickly......"

Xia Shijie sighed, reluctantly allowing himself to only stare at Hongchen's back and not look to the side. Hongchen smiled and said, "Do you know how difficult it is to enter the ghost gate once? It would be a shame not to visit! If she sees the same things as Xia Shijie, then she must be equally scared, as a girl, maybe she is more afraid, but as soon as she comes in, the Yu Jue she carries with her shields from her senses, as far as the eye can see, everything is optimized by Yu Jue, everything is a colored dot, plus subtitles.

For example, the ghost that floated past Xia Shijie's body, he saw a figure in the dark, with cold horror in the void, and Hongchen looked like a black dot, with an arrow next to it with the word ghost written on it, and it was not easy for anyone to be afraid of these things.

So, Hongchen blocked and killed the gods all the way, the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, stepped on the white bones under his feet, and the peach wood sword in his hand slashed the wandering spirit, and he should open the way.

Xia Shijie trembled behind him, his face was incredible-what a terrifying woman!

"Found it."

Hongchen's footsteps paused, and suddenly accelerated, Xia Shijie couldn't care about his thoughts anymore, he ran desperately to keep up, he didn't look at anything on the ground at all, and he didn't dare to look around, just tried his best, and rushed forward with Hongchen with a breath.

I don't know how long I ran, but I finally vaguely saw Shi Feng.

"Shi Feng!"

He couldn't help shouting in a hoarse voice, his heart was relieved, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and he couldn't stand up after struggling twice, feeling that his chest was hot.

Just now, he felt that he couldn't run anymore several times, but the cold air around him allowed him to pull him back from the brink of collapse every time, breaking through the limit again and again, and now he can't move when he sees people.

Hongchen didn't look at him at all, went straight over and waved away the black things running around him, grabbed Shi Feng's hand, and continued to move forward.

Xia Shijie closed his eyes and smiled bitterly in his heart, that girl didn't care about his life or death at all, he was going to die here, the ghost door was closed, but he didn't have to die if he came in...... He was depressed and wanted to scold, but he didn't even have the strength to scold.

There seemed to be something huge, heavy on his back, and he began to breathe, it was very cold, and he was frozen and stiff, as if the black robe covered outside could block the cold, but now it gradually began to stop working.

Xia Shijie was suddenly very scared, and when he died, he realized that he was so eager to live, he had a good family background, and he would become a great person in the future, just like many ancestors of the Xia family. Casting a spirit soldier that can channel the gods, domesticating a war horse that can bring the soldier's ability to the limit, he still has a lot of things to do, he hasn't told Ah Chan yet, his brother will protect her, she doesn't have to grow up so early, she doesn't need to force herself to please others now, work hard to grow, she can always be her innocent and proud little girl......

Consciousness was hazy, and Xia Shijie felt that he wanted to cry. The collar suddenly grabbed someone. Pulling to his feet, the pressure on his body was swept away.

Hongchen's very impatient face appeared in front of him: "I said, don't think about messing around, go." ”

Shi Feng also came over. The two of them continued to run with him on the left and the right. Run faster and faster.

The corners of Xia Shijie's mouth moved. Just now, when Hongchen came to save him, he was so excited that he burst into tears. Filled with gratitude for this person, even if only for a moment, it really doesn't bode well!

But after a while, he couldn't continue to think about it, and the shadows around him were surrounded by black oppressive shadows, a large area of front and back.

He saw a small circle of light in front of him, and countless shadows rushed towards it.

The three of them also walked more and more slowly, so slow that it was difficult to walk.

The speed at which the aperture is visible to the naked eye decreases.

"Are we going to stay?"

Xia Shijie muttered.

Shi Feng smiled, and for the first time he spoke, his voice was very weak and his breath was unsteady: "I don't care, it seems that there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Hongchen ignored them, shook his sleeves, and a roast chicken suddenly flew out of his sleeves.

Fragrant, full of oil and water.

Xia Shijie was stunned, the movements of the black shadows around him stopped instantly, he seemed to see the shadow make a head-turning movement, and then quickly pounced.

Hongchen kept throwing out a mess of snacks, each of those black shadows was tempted, and threw themselves in the direction of the snacks, and the road ahead became more and more smooth, his eyes were dark, and he felt that his butt was kicked, and he lost consciousness all of a sudden.

Dizzy, Xia Shijie seems to have had a lot of dreams, all of which are fragments.

"Ahh

He sat up suddenly, and the beige curtain unique to the guest room he rented, and a bowl of medicinal soup was still on the table in his hand, and the smell of medicine came to his nose.

"Young Master, are you awake?" The little guy pounced and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Shi Feng?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Senior Brother is very good, I ate three bowls of rice just now, young master, let's go quickly, he is packing up his things, saying that we will leave when you wake up, this place in Qixian County is really against us."

"Go ......"

Xia Shijie couldn't wait to leave, but he suddenly wanted to do one thing, dressed neatly, washed his face, didn't even eat, and went straight to the teahouse.

Hongchen is eating.

A big pot of rice was cooked at home, and a little spiritual rice was mixed into it, and the taste was so satisfying that you didn't eat a mouthful of food.

Today, the teahouse is closed, just after the Halloween, the guests do not dare to enter the mountain at night, at this time the family is their own people, Hongchen is not polite, change into light and comfortable home clothes, chew slowly and enjoy the food.

Bang.

A giant obstacle came in outside, Hongchen glanced up, drank the last mouthful of porridge, handed the bowl to Luo Niang, and then looked up and said, "Why haven't you left yet?" Shi Feng said that he would take you back to Yong'an as soon as you woke up, Xia Gongzi. ”

Xia Shijie gasped a few times, leaned down, supported his knees, closed his eyes and said, "You are the young lady of the Xia family, the family is your biological father, and the family mother is your biological mother!" ”

His voice was very low, and the speed of his speech was very fast, and he finished speaking in an instant, and he lowered his head slightly, and somehow, he was very nervous.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Luo Niang, they almost even dropped the bowl.

The Xia family? That Xia family?

Hongchen just took the handkerchief very calmly, wiped his lips, and said with a smile: "I know, thank you Xia Gongzi Kochi, but I think that since the Xia family did not break this matter before, it must be that it is necessary to recognize each other, and we should reach a consensus on this point, and ask Xia Gongzi to ensure that it is safe and smooth all the way." ”

Xia Shijie blinked, speechless for a while.

Others didn't expect Hongchen to be so calm, and ordinary people suddenly knew the news of their parents who had been separated for more than ten years, and they couldn't be so excited!

Hongchen beckoned the kittens to clean up the bowls, and stood up with a smile to see off the guests: "Xia Gongzi is afraid that he will hurt his vitality, so it is better to rest more." ”

Xia Shijie really let her out in a daze, and left in a daze, and finally couldn't figure out what she meant?

Hongchen didn't mean anything, but it was really hard for her to get excited, after all, she had been excited once in her previous life, and that period of life in the Xia family was not very good, although now that she thought about it, it didn't seem to be very bad. (To be continued......)
