The group wore stars and moons and continued to move forward.

Ah Tao walked at the front of the carriage procession, followed by the two maids who held the lamp.

On the winding path, under the silence, only the dull sound of marching can be heard.

The dead wood on both sides gave birth to a few lonely branches, and the frost formed by the perennial snow enveloped it entirely, fused into one, like a series of ice crystal snow trees of different shapes, like the ancient ghosts with teeth and claws, glowing with strange and hideous light and shadow in the clear moonlight, so that those who walk in it have the illusion of falling into a fantasy world.

Such a miracle of nature, with a light touch, can make these lifeless things that grow in the wilderness add a sense of artistic conception.

Ah Tao couldn't help but smile, and the fear that had just arisen because of that noble man couldn't help but subside a little.

On the black nanmu carriage, the white jade curtain of the window gently lifted a small opening from the inside at this time.

The tanuki nun bowed forward, his eyes did not look into the car, but looked in the direction of the ground politely, and a tanuki still had a smiling expression on his face.

The tanuki asked respectfully, "Childe?"

"It's almost out of the valley, let's deal with it. The cold and lazy voice of the noble man came from inside the car.

"Yes!" the tanuki bowed and bowed away.

After passing through the last ecstasy array, we arrived at the exit of Lanling Valley. Ah Tao stopped, and the carriage queue behind him also stopped.

Ah Tao trotted to the front of the carriage and bowed respectfully: "Nobleman, you have reached the mouth of the valley, and the road below should be unobstructed." ”

Ah Tao thought about sending this god away quickly, so that he could find some food, missed the little yellow croaker predation tonight, she had not eaten a bite of food for five days, she rushed to the road in the middle of the night, and now she is so hungry that her chest is close to her back, and if she goes on, her little ghost life should be gone.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction in the carriage.

Ah Dao's heart became uneasy again.

It was a little strange that this noble man could so easily accept his own low-level magic ghost to guide him. Now think about it carefully, just a mere ecstasy array, the nobility of the nobles in the carriage is so powerful, how can it be difficult to get them!

In that case, why should you lead the way?

Ah Dao couldn't help frowning.

They hurried through the middle of the night, didn't it involve some confidential matters related to the nobleman?

Coincidentally, I was unlucky enough to hit ......

Thinking of this, Ah Tao was suddenly shocked!

I have no intention of getting involved, so the other party shouldn't be trying to use the excuse of leading the way, and then find an excuse to kill me on the spot, right?

At this time, it is dark and windy, isn't it a good time to kill ghosts!

A few beast roars suddenly sounded in the distance, and Ah Dao's already cold body was instantly infected with a heavier chill.

The atmosphere is getting more and more gloomy......

Ah Tao swallowed nervously, and one of the feet kneeling on the ground moved slightly, and just happened to touch a broken branch at his feet, making a soft clicking sound, instantly breaking the silence of this side.

The people in the car seemed to be alarmed, and there was a faint sound of rustling, and the white jade curtain moved slightly.

Then, Ah Tao heard the sound of fingers tapping on the table from inside the black nanmu carriage.

Ah Tao held his breath, and he didn't dare to come out, and he reverently maintained a posture of prostration, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"You're not afraid of people. The timbre is still cold and elegant, but there are a few other unknown emotions in it.

His tone was very affirmative, not asking her, but stating a fact.

Ah Tao forcibly stopped the trembling of his body, and a wry smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.

It seems that it can't escape the eyes of this nobleman......

Ah Tao had to reply honestly: "Yes." ”

The light knocking in the black nanmu carriage suddenly stopped.

There was another silence that was neither long nor short......

"Goo...... ...... coo, "Adao's stomach suddenly screamed again.

Ah Tao was very embarrassed and hurriedly pressed one hand on his stomach, wanting to cut off the hungry sound, but unexpectedly, the cooing sound was louder and louder, and it was very lively.

Ah Dao's face was hot, and he was about to confess, but he saw that the raccoon slave had ordered the two maidservants to bring a few steaming steamed buns packed with a hundred jade hedge pattern plates.

Ah Tao was a little stunned for a while, and it wasn't until the heat of the steamed bun hit his face that Ah Tao came back to his senses.

With a look of gratitude on her face, she bowed to the nobles in the carriage again with excitement and joy, and then straightened up and put the pieces of hot steamed buns one by one into the pockets of her chest with a reverent expression.

The warm heat of the steamed buns slowly poured into the body along the hands, and the body actually felt like a dead wood in spring.

I didn't expect that in this wild place, hot steamed buns could be supplied at any time......

Ah Tao glanced at the motionless white jade curtain hanging in front of the carriage, and his expression couldn't help but become more and more respectful.

"Let's go". The voice of the noble man was heard again from inside the black nanmu carriage.

The convoy resumed.

There was no sign of Ah Tao thinking that he was going to kill her.

Half of the boulder in Ah Dao's heart fell, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sent the noble man away.

The team passed by Ah Tao one by one, and the moment the black nanmu carriage passed by her, a faint fragrance of tea mixed with cold air penetrated into Ah Dao's mouth and nose.

The fragrance of tea seems to leak out of the car......

Ah Tao couldn't help but raise her head slightly, and in the afterglow, she saw the silver incense ball hanging in front of the black nanmu carriage, swaying slightly with the carriage, exuding a mysterious and elegant aura under the moonlight, just like the nobles in the black nanmu carriage.

As the carriage moved away, Adao retracted her gaze, she just stood up, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly realized that there was still a person standing beside her.

Ah Tao was so frightened that he flinched, and subconsciously retreated a few steps away.

I thought it was a ghost that was entangled again, but when I looked closely, it was the smiling tanuki face.

"Tanuki ghost, why haven't you left yet?" A flash of alarm flashed in Ah Dao's heart, but he still asked in surprise.

The tanuki still smiled with that pair of crooked eyebrows: "My son-in-law will give you a blessing when he thinks of you to guide the way sincerely tonight." ”

After the raccoon slave finished speaking, he whispered to the white jade sheep's horn lamp in his hand, and more than a dozen wild ghosts of the Yuan Shen flew out of the lantern in an instant, and the Yuan Shen was a ghost crying wolf, and after seeing Ah Dao, he instantly rushed towards Ah Tao from mid-air like a hungry ghost.

"Blood...... Blood...... Give me your blood! Let me drink your blood!"

Ah Tao was so frightened that he subconsciously dodged and hid behind the tanuki.

With a wave of the raccoon slave's wide sleeve, a cold light shot out from his sleeve, and the dozen or so primordial gods disappeared in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen primordial gods were wiped out.

"It's amazing, it's worthy of being a ghost servant!" Ah Tao exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes unconsciously increased with a little more admiration and envy.

The tanuki slave rolled up his sleeves and turned to look at Ah Tao with a smile: "These dozen or so wild ghosts have been following you all the way, do you recognize them?"

Ah Tao nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yes, these wild ghosts have been pestering me for a long time." ”

"Why are you entangled?"

Ah Tao replied truthfully: "They want to drink my blood. ”

The tanuki slave was stunned for a moment, as if puzzled: "Blood?"

"Because I'm not afraid of people, they think that if they drink my blood, they can be like me. ”

Ever since her fearless secret was discovered by a ghost by chance, she has been living a life of being haunted by various ghosts all day long, hiding and escaping.

Dealing with these ghosts has long become her daily routine. However, thanks to the entanglement of these ghosts, she has invisibly practiced a stunt of dodging freely.

The raccoon slave looked at Ah Dao's disapproving look: "Only then is Gongzi here, these sneaky people dare not approach, as soon as Gongzi left, they couldn't wait to follow, I was ordered by Gongzi to solve them, think about a period of time later, those ghosts dare not act rashly, you can still have a moment of purity." ”

Ah Dao was stunned: "Noble man, he ...... Why help me?"

The tanuki smiled and said, "This is a blessing from the son, and I will repay you for your guidance tonight." ”

When Ah Tao heard this, the originally casual look on his face gradually disappeared.

Since she woke up in the rice field, she has been forcing herself to try to adapt to this side of the world. Although she had learned how to evade the ghosts who were stronger than her, and how to find food before she starved to death, there was always a sense of trepidation within her that never disappeared for a moment.

Everything here was completely foreign to her. In it, I don't know yesterday, and I don't know tomorrow.

This blessing at this moment, although it is only a temporary blessing, magically makes the fear and anxiety that has been hidden in the heart for a long time get a moment of peace.

Ah Dao's eyes showed the first sincere color of tonight, and she solemnly thanked her: "The slave is just a humble body, thank you for the noble lift, give the slave a temporary blessing, and ask the civet slave ghost to convey the slave's thanks to your nobleman." ”

The tanuki smiled and his eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, he raised his hand falsely, counted it as a reply, and turned into a green light unique to the ghost servant, and flew towards the direction of the convoy.

Under the cold moonlight, the black nanmu carriage was hugged by the front and back and continued to move steadily.

In the carriage behind the pale cyan motionless white jade curtain, there is a low table of Nanmu, and there is a bottle of dark blue dragon pattern tea stove on the low table, and the mulberry wood is burning in the furnace to a slight fire, and it is cooking the Yue Mountain tea in the hurry.

In the tanuki white jade incense burner on the side, the white smoke is slowly circling out of the tanuki's mouth, rising and diffusing a room.

A young man in a white robe was holding his head with one hand at this time, leaning in front of Nanmu's low table, closing his eyes and resting.

The young man's face is delicate and elegant, his expression is careless and lazy, his head is tied with a jade crown, and his whole body is full of noble and noble temperament.

A green light flashed outside the carriage, and the boy slowly opened his eyes.

He had a pair of very beautiful inky eyes, the light of which was as deep as a deep pool, and there was a layer of mysterious things like smoke and fog on them.

The young man's figure moved slightly, and the Dao robe, which was already slightly open, instantly slipped off his left shoulder because of this action, revealing the collarbone that was glowing with white jade luster like fine porcelain.

On the shoulder next to the clavicle, a blue birthmark exudes a shimmer of water blue, which complements the clavicle and becomes a beautiful painting of the empty and secluded realm.

The whole person is like a piece of fine white jade.

"Childe, it's all done. Outside the carriage came the sound of a tanuki slave speaking respectfully.

Holding a mustache in his hand, the young man elegantly poured the tea into the teacup coated with hookah-colored porcelain enamel and moire bottom, and then picked up the teacup and put it next to his nose, slowly inhaling the fragrant tea gas.

Between the gestures, there is quite a transcendent posture of immortals, and there is no lack of celebrities and gentlemen.

"What about people?" the young man's eyes focused on the tea.

"The slave has disposed of the guard's corpse so that it will not be eaten by the goblins. ”

The young man picked up the teacup and looked at the tea leaves in the cup slowly unfolding like a green cloud, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a casual smile.

He put the tea in his mouth, the taste was rich and mellow, and his lips and teeth were fragrant: "Can you find out?"

The raccoon slave said respectfully: "It's a member of the Sheng clan." ”

The young man's expression was not surprised at all, he put down the teacup, leaned lazily on the agarwood-colored brocade pillow behind him, and said with a mocking look in his eyes: "Sheng Zhuohuai is really getting more and more unpopular, and the rules of the Xiang clan have not been learned well, so they dare to go to Xiangfu to stuff people." ”

There was silence outside the carriage for a moment: "The slave has already given her a blessing according to the childe's explanation, but it's just ......" The tanuki slave hesitated in his tone, "Why doesn't the son ...... directly"

The young man picked up a small piece of tea branch next to the tea stove, rubbed it back and forth between his fingers, and said casually: "That's fine, you can retreat." ”

"Yes. ”

The tea branch between his fingers was rubbed repeatedly by the young man, and soon became a final form. The young man's bony palm was slightly opened, and the tea powder fell slowly to several sides through the gaps in his fingertips.

The boy's contemplation deepened, and the layer of mystery floating above his eyes gradually became thicker.

A bean lamp burned on a silver lotus candlestick, stretching the shadow of the boy and reflecting it on the wall of the carriage.

The breeze outside the window blows, lifting the corner of the short curtain of the car window, the night breeze penetrates, the candle flame beats, the clothes roll up, and even the shadow of the young man on the car wall also shakes slightly.

Under the cold night wind, the young man's back suddenly added a bit of ancient and mysterious atmosphere. This breath seems to come from an unreachable place for a long time.

Fragility born from strength, pathos from loneliness.

The coldness gradually penetrated his body, and the young man gathered his scattered clothes, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This smile actually made everything between heaven and earth lose color.

In a small cave a few miles away from Lanling Valley, it was pitch black, and after walking a little deeper, I could faintly see a faint fire in the corner.

On the side of the firelight, Ah Tao was sitting on a rough and shabby, dirty pu straw mat, looking at the remaining steamed bun in her hand, her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking about something extremely confused.

Ah Tao was wrapped in a shabby gray linen cloth to keep warm, maybe the linen cloth was too short, and there were several holes on it, when another wave of cold wind poured in with the hole, Ah Tao couldn't help but sneeze.

Ahead, a bright black light suddenly flashed, and then an old woman's voice sounded: "Give me the steamed bun in your hand, the old body can solve your confusion." ”

Ah Tao suddenly looked towards the black light, and saw an old woman holding a ghost-headed crutch, wearing gray linen, and a silver hairpin pinned to her head, looking at her with a faint gaze.

Ah Tao hurriedly lifted the sackcloth wrapped in his body, got up and saluted the old woman: "I can spend so many days here safely, thanks to the blessing of your old man, a steamed bun, how can I not give it." After speaking, Ah Tao tapped lightly on the steamed bun, and the steamed bun automatically flew to the old palm of the ghost child's skin and bones covered with orange peel folds.

The ghost shook the steamed bun in his hand, and looked at Ah Tao with satisfaction, this little ghost in the rice field has only been here for a few months, but he is clever and interesting.

Ah Tao walked quickly to the ghost and said, "I really don't want to hide it, I do have a confusion and want to ask the ghost and the child for advice." ”

The ghost's cloudy eyes rolled down, waiting for Ah Tao to continue.

"I want to go to Yin'an and seek a permanent protection, what do you think?"

Xu was shocked by Ah Dao's words, as soon as Ah Dao's words came out, the ghost suddenly coughed violently, and Ah Tao hurriedly reached out and patted her vest to help her calm her breath.

After the ghost child calmed down, he looked at Adao's eyes that were as flexible as a fawn, and a fleeting strangeness slipped through his heart: "You want to become a ghost servant of humans?"

Ah Tao nodded, with a hint of firmness in his expression: "I'm in this fog city, I can't eat all day, and the ghosts who want to drink my blood will go a batch, and another batch, and I don't know when it will be a head, maybe one day it will be eaten and wiped clean by which wild ghost." Instead of being in danger here, it is better to go to Yin'an to find a glimmer of life. ”

"As long as I become a ghost servant, I will be blessed by the master of the human race, and I will not have to worry about it all day long. Ah Tao said, his eyes already shining with longing and excitement.

The ghost child pondered for a moment: "Yin'an is a place where human beings gather, and it is said to be a very prosperous and rich place. Because countless powerful people are entrenched here, it is extremely popular, and the power of fear is all over the city, and it is feared by the ghost world. ”

The ghost child looked at Ah Tao meaningfully: "For us wild ghosts, if we can't be blessed by humans as ghost servants, staying there will be more than lucky. ”

Ah Tao was stunned: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to become a ghost attendant?"

The ghost didn't answer, his cloudy eyes just stared quietly at the steamed buns that had become cold and hard in the palm of his hand, and said quietly: "Is it a ghost waiter, what is the difference between humans and humans?"

......

On the second day, Ah Tao stepped on the first morning sun, set off from Fog City, and headed towards Yin'an.
