Thirty-eight, a hundred ghosts
Lord Liluo released the colorful parrot again, and this time it no longer acted secretly, but flew to Bi Guichen's side openly. Bi Guichen has been doing a lot lately, and he often can't take care of Liqiu. The little guy has been secretly angry with her many times, but she has unconsciously ignored it, and Xiao Liqiu finally realized that this move was useless, and often got angry with herself. Because the legend of the water demon is still there, Bi Guichen strictly ordered him not to change back to his original appearance, which made him very depressed.
The arrival of the parrot made Xiao Liqiu temporarily get rid of the boring state, and Bi Guichen was also happy and relaxed, so they played openly. On this day, she was busy until the early hours of the morning as usual, and when she looked for Xiao Liqiu again, she found that he was not sleeping in the house, not even the parrot. She searched everywhere but couldn't find it, panicked, where could a child and a bird go in the middle of the night?
"It's better to find the little boy quickly, it's not good for children to hang around outside during the recent Midyear Festival." The fat county official was also very anxious, after all, he had a good relationship with the little guy.
Regarding the Zhongyuan Festival, Bi Guichen is not worried, it is Ying Long. It's just that that guy is still young, and his spiritual power can't be controlled freely. Parrot Xiaohao is also a lively master, and when he sends a letter, he sticks to her and doesn't leave, and the two little guys get together and don't know if they will get into trouble.
Biguichen has always pampered parrots, and he has raised them for so many years, and he can always help at critical moments, and he knows his habits well. It's impossible for Xiaohao to run out in the middle of the night for no reason, it's actually a super lazy parrot, it can't move if it can, it can never move, and it can always nest in the nest and pretend to be dead when there is no task. It's really pretending to be dead, closing his eyes and throwing himself in the nest, motionless. At first, Bi Guichen thought it was dead when he raised it, and he was sad for a long time and planned to take it out and bury it, but when he was digging a pit, he woke up again, jumped up and chirped in protest.
How could that guy who slept like a human being be in the mood to go out in the middle of the night? Unless Xiao Liqiu finds something interesting, or is in danger, it follows it.
Murong Qiu yawned and went out with her to look for it. Murong Daochang has had a dream of a chess game since that day, and he has been able to sleep very well recently, and he has no dreams until dawn all night. He felt that his spirit and spirit had improved a lot, and even his evening cultivation had improved rapidly.
"It's almost time, will Xiao Liqiu get lost?" He shook his head and decided to guess first according to the possibilities of an ordinary child.
"How can Xiao Hao get lost after him?"
"That little parrot isn't that reliable at times." Murong Qiu told the truth.
"Dao Chief, have you felt anything wrong lately?" Bi Guichen thought about it and changed the subject. Master Liluo wrote back to her and asked her to pay more attention to Murong Qiu's changes, and hinted that it might be a good change. She remembered the word "Emperor Star" that flashed in her mind when she first met Murong Qiu before, for the current unknown situation, Emperor Star is not a good change, what would it be? She couldn't figure out what the elders in the Imperial City wanted her to pay attention to.
"Where? Water monsters, you say? Murong Qiu thought for a while, "It's also strange, if it's really a demon, we can't feel it at all, Miss Bi, have you found anything?" ”
Biguichen black line, the two people really can't communicate.
"Hey, I don't know what happened to the Imperial City, the letter from the master only said that I should have a good rest and go to the Wei River to have a look. But now that I'm busy with epidemic prevention, where can I have so much time? Murong Qiu was already very familiar with Bi Guichen, and he didn't hide it in front of her, "Maybe the master also felt that the water demon was in the Wei River, so he asked me to take a look." ”
Bi Guichen thought about it, and followed his words: "Why don't you go and see it tomorrow, isn't there still your junior brother, we will share your affairs." If there is really a water demon, it is better to get rid of it earlier. "Since the elders of the Imperial City want him to go to the Wei River, there must be a reason for them.
"Also......" Before the good words were spoken, Murong Qiu was stunned. That's ......"
Bi Guichen looked in the direction of his finger and was stunned. They had already crossed the bridge and walked past the medical point, and they didn't pay attention to what was in the river, and they didn't care about what was going on at the medical point, and they only asked a few guards along the way, and then they came to the open field. Far away from the medical center, there was a mass grave dug by officers and soldiers, in which many corpses were buried and filled with a layer of lime and a layer of soil. There is usually no one going there at all, and it is almost isolated from the rest of the world.
Unconsciously they walked near the mass grave, and in front of them were a multitude of phantoms that could not see the entity clearly, and those phantoms swirled around the mass grave, as if following some kind of pattern.
"What is it?" Bi Guichen swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice.
"Probably, it's a hundred ghosts walking at night."
This day is the Midyear Festival, the moonlight is at its peak, the door of the underworld is open, and the people who died in vain cannot find their way home, so they can only circle around the burial ground, which is not inappropriate. The only thing that's wrong is that there are green dragons here. There is a place where the green dragon is infested, and it is difficult for demons and monsters to get close.
The Midyear Festival is a day for the souls who have not yet been reincarnated to go home to visit, and generally at this time, each family will guide their relatives back with the technique of attracting souls, and the guardian spirits will turn a blind eye to this method and let them go. But the living in the place of the great calamity are not taken into account, let alone guide the dead. So it's weird that these things are here.
Suddenly there was a birdsong in the distance, Bi Guichen could hear it clearly, it was a small noise.
"Over there!" She grabbed Murong Qiu's arm and pointed to the middle of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk. Sure enough, there was a small figure lying there, and the ghosts were circling around him. "Oh no, he's not going to hit the evil spirit!"
Bi Guichen was in a hurry, and was about to run over to save him, but was pulled by Murong Qiu. She doesn't look at herself as just a mortal, and the consequences of really hitting her will be unimaginable.
Murong Qiu pulled out his sword, but he didn't make a move. The souls who had died in vain looked dazed, indicating that they had no idea why they were here, and that someone had brought them here. He thought about it and decided to take a different approach.
"When I fly over, you call the little trouble." The little guy can't be hurt in the slightest.
Murong Qiu said as he jumped up with his sword, rushed into the middle of the hundred ghosts surrounded by layers at a very fast speed, picked up Xiao Liqiu, and soared into the sky.
"Trouble!" Bi Guichen called the colorful parrot here.
The parrot was frightened, heard a familiar voice, screamed, and rushed straight at her. When it stopped on her shoulder, it rubbed its head against her face, and chattered non-stop, as if it had been greatly wronged.
"Don't run around in the future." Bi Guichen touched its head, "Well, you can't run around with people at night." ”
Murong Qiu fell beside her with his sword and handed Liqiu into her hands, "It should be unconscious, go back." ”
"Hmm." Bi Guichen hugged Xiao Liqiu, and looked back at the strange scene of the hundred ghosts walking at night, although there were many questions, he decided to talk about it after he went back.
