.

Because of this incident, Hou Gui's identity as a housekeeper was removed, and he was also punished by Li Ke to go to Qiuzi Country to bring goods and run merchants, and I am afraid that it will take two or three years to come back. As for Li Bai, he was punished by Li Ke to go to the study of the West Courtyard to think about it, and no one was allowed to see him, even his mother Yuewa. After all, beating his father with a stick is a disobedience and a great disobedience, and he deserves to be punished by God. Although Li Bai hasn't done it yet, it can even be said that those who don't know are not to blame, but Li Ke is very abnormal, and he is so angry about this matter that even Yuewa is so frightened and confused that she doesn't dare to say a word of persuasion.

It wasn't until a few days later that the night fell into the middle of autumn, and after the boudoir had sex, Yuewa asked Li Ke why he was angry. After being dull for a long time, Li Ke will finally be angry, hugging Yuewa in his arms, sighing and saying: "Madam, don't hide it, my Li family ancestor once had an unfilial man, who killed his own relatives, beheaded the innocent, imprisoned his parents in soft, and the power of peeping was in place, turning evil into good." My ancestors were lucky enough to escape from the Houthis and live in seclusion, otherwise the fate would have been horrible. So madam, I seem to be angry with Bai'er, but in fact, I am angry with the ancestors. ”

Yuewa was smart, and immediately heard the metaphor in Li Ke's words, and couldn't help but be surprised and surprised, she didn't expect Li Ke to be such a family identity. But Yuewa didn't ask a word, although she was full of curiosity, just because Yuewa knew that this matter was not trivial, if it accidentally reached the ears of someone with a heart, not only would the Li Mansion be beheaded all over the house, but this Turkic country could be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and no one would be left. After hearing this, Yuewa understood Li Ke's intentions very well, so she didn't say much, turned sideways into Jun's arms, and fell asleep.

At the same time, on the other side, Li Bai was punished to come to this West Courtyard study is not very big, but it is not too small. In the past, this was a Taoist temple, but because of this, it was a place outside the Hu, and the people only believed in Buddhism and did not believe in Taoism, so the owner of this Taoist temple was driven out of the Turks not long after, and the statue of Sanqing God was also smashed. At that time, Li Ke wanted to marry Yuewa and needed to choose a site to build a house, so Li Ke spent money to buy the surrounding area of this Taoist temple and wanted to build a mansion.

Strangely, no matter whether it is dug or smashed in other places, nothing strange has happened. Only this Taoist view is amazing, the four walls seem to be made of iron and copper, and they can't be torn down by any means. Among the goods that Li Ke was carrying at that time was a powerful treasure called 'black powder', which exploded when it was burned, and shattered when it was exploded, which made people afraid.

Hou Gui came up with the idea of using this black powder to blow up, and as a result, the entire ten boxes were blasted out, and the four walls of this Taoist temple were still standing, not even the slightest skin was broken. In the end, out of helplessness, Li Ke ordered someone to transform this temple into a study, and sat alone among the flowers and plants. Everywhere is a breeze and beautiful scenery, beautiful and difficult to accept, Li Ke and Yuewa often come here to dance and ink, chant poems against each other, and it is also happy.

However, although the study room of the west courtyard is beautiful and pleasant, the night is fragrant, and the flowers and plants are fragrant. But Li Bai didn't have the heart to enjoy the scenery at this time, and he didn't feel sleepy yet, but sat by the door and looked at the moon in the sky in a daze, motionless and surprisingly still, as if thinking about something big, like a saint.

It wasn't until about half an hour later that Li Bai finally yawned and fell asleep, sighed to the waning moon in the sky, and then stood up and prepared to go back to his room to rest. Unexpectedly, at this time, a cool breeze suddenly blew from behind, making Li Bai shiver. The horror is that faintly, I heard some strange sounds mixed with this cool breeze, like the giggling of a child, extremely gloomy.

Li Bai wanted to turn his head to look when he heard the sound, but only halfway through, he saw five baby ghosts jumping out and jumping in front of him to surround him. They were dressed in red baby bags, their hair was combed into braids, their eyebrows were black, their faces were pale, and they giggled, which was terrifying. Li Bai was only three years old at this time, and even though he was so frightened that he cried and screamed, he turned around and wanted to run.

Unexpectedly, the five little ghosts didn't say a word, and immediately covered Li Bai's mouth with lightning speed, and then ran into the house with him as if he were flying. After the door was shut, one of the imps suddenly said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, three years ago, fortunately, the benefactor rescued me and broke the seal of the prison, and the five of us were able to get rid of the clutches of the high priest and regain our freedom." Therefore, we are here to repay the favor this time, and we will never hurt our benefactor! ”

What these little ghosts said is true, they are here to repay their kindness, if it weren't for Li Bai's baptism three years ago, the five little ghosts would not have been saved from that holy pool; Also, if Li Bai hadn't ridden the blue-winged snake fish to the rescue, the five little ghosts would have been beaten by the high priest to the death.

In the past three years, the high priest has discovered that Li Bai is a mortal thing, and he cannot be killed by ordinary means. Therefore, she worked hard to cultivate a powerful skill, which was specially used to deal with Li Bai and take revenge. This skill is the art of fire, calling 'Samadhi True Fire', saying that the heart is the king's fire, also known as the divine fire, its name is Shangfu, the kidney is the subordinate fire, also known as the essence of the fire, its name is called Zhongfu, the bladder, that is, the sea of qi under the umbilicus, the people's fire, its name is called the lower one, this, collectively called Samadhi.

This true fire of samadhi is not an ordinary fire, but it is the result of the cultivation of essence, qi, and spirit. As long as it is spread, the water cannot be extinguished, the earth cannot be extinguished, and only by burning everything can the embers be obtained. It can be said that gods, ghosts, fairies and demons are all afraid, those who touch it will burn, and those who burn will die. Even those immortal formations and sealing enchantments may be burned into the air by this samadhi true fire and turned into nothing.

The so-called people are humane, ghosts have ghosts, after the five little ghosts escaped that day, they entered the netherworld and wanted to be reincarnated, but the ghost division of the underworld told them: "Although you wait for the yang life to be exhausted, but the yang fate is not endless, if you want to be reincarnated, you must go to the yang world to find Li Bai to repay the favor, and try to get rid of the high priest, otherwise you can only be the lonely soul and wild ghost, and you will never enter the reincarnation." ”

In desperation, he had to come back and wait for the opportunity, and kept secretly staring at the high priest, trying to find an opportunity to get rid of him. But the high priest acted without a trace, without a trace, and there was no hope of killing at all. To this day, the five little ghosts suddenly found out that the high priest was coming to Li Bai to seek revenge, so they took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak into Li's mansion, first, to inform, and second, to ensure Li Bai's integrity.

"Benefactor!" Another little ghost said, "Let go of my hand now, you must not call again, if you attract others, we will be forced away by the mortal yang energy." ”

Although Li Bai was small, he was bold, and when he heard this, he no longer struggled, and immediately nodded again and again; Seeing this, the little devil gradually loosened his hand. So, Li Bai was relieved and asked in surprise: "Are you really ghosts?" ”

The five imps nodded.

"Then ......" Li Bai paused slightly and said, "Then can you do me a favor?" ”

"Benefactor, please speak!" Although the five little ghosts are like children, their minds are already dozens of years old, and they immediately patted their chests and promised: "No matter what the benefactor wants us to do, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we will definitely help the benefactor do it, and we will never break our word." ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"That's good! Come here! Li Bai suddenly became very happy, beckoned to the five little ghosts, and waited for them to surround him, then he lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Uncle Gui told me when he left, saying that he hid the rock sugar gourd in the kitchen of the east courtyard, and asked me to find a chance to get it." But now that my father has punished me for thinking about it, I am not allowed to leave at all. I sat at the door and thought about it for more than half an hour, but I still couldn't think of any good way. So, can you help me go to the kitchen and get this rock sugar gourd? It is placed in a bamboo basket on the wall, and you can see it when you enter the door. ”

The five little ghosts couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, they thought it was a big deal, but they expected it to be a trivial matter. Then, a group of little ghosts fled towards the kitchen of the east courtyard, and in just an instant, they came back with a bamboo basket on their backs. Li Bai was happy to see this, and without saying a word, he opened it and picked it up and started eating, so that the five little ghosts next to him drooled; I want to try it, but it's not easy to ask for it. Later, they were so tempted that they couldn't bear it, and the imps asked tentatively, "Benefactor, can you let us taste one too?" ”

"You want to eat?" Li Bai's face was suspicious, paused, and asked, "Ghosts can also eat rock sugar gourds?" Isn't it just a candle? ”

The five little ghosts were speechless for a moment and looked at each other. What Li Bai said is right, but it is not entirely true, ghosts do feed on candles and incense, but as long as they cultivate the Tao and practice enough, then they can eat and drink meat and vegetarian offerings like people. Although the five little ghosts have been ghosts for decades, they are all controlled by the high priest, and they don't have much cultivation or Taoism, so they can't eat this rock sugar gourd; could only endure the temptation and watch Li Bai eat with relish.

At this moment, on the roof tiles of the high pavilion of the Li Mansion, under the high wind and waning moon, a yin figure suddenly appeared. Holding a witch staff in his hand and a black veil covering his face, he is the high priest.

The wind was blowing and the shadows were moving, but the high priest didn't say a word, and immediately cast a spell, using the true fire of samadhi, and burned towards the study in the west courtyard. In just an instant, the inside and outside of the house became ablaze, and thick smoke billowed out, trapping Li Bai and the five little ghosts in it, and there was no way to escape.
