The quiet and beautiful sound of Xiao, like the empty mangosteen language flowing slowly, pulled Ye'er's mind bewildered by the scenery of the Ecstasy Terrace back to the world from the Taoyuan maze above the clouds.

Only then did Zhu Tong understand that what Ye Er said was true, Ma Ye's ability to blow Xiao was indeed extraordinary, and to him, a layman who did not understand the rhythm of music, he was also calm, relaxed, and depressed in the chest The defensive heart was unconsciously resolved; The old man who seems to be blowing Xiao is a long-lost relative, a respectable elder, and a reliable friend.

Another burst of snow drifted over, and the Qingyue poem came from the valley: "Yesterday the flowers were full of red, and today the flowers are empty; Suddenly, there was a heavy snowstorm, and the change was rolling with the wind. There is no self-satisfaction in the time outside the things, and who is poor in the life and death of the rivers and lakes; The three plum blossoms are more and more sound, and the thunder is frightened in the night dream. ”

After a few lines of poetry, the fog on the ecstasy platform disappeared, and Ye'er was quiet.

Zhu Tong looked for the source of the voice, and I don't know when a little Taoist priest appeared on the ecstasy platform; is still wearing a thin robe, with a pure smile on his ruddy face, and he salutes Ma Ye: "Mr. is proud of the wind and snow, and the trail is presumptuous and harmonious; Abrupt everyone, Atonement. ”

Little liars are accustomed to living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a liar, and it turns out that gentlemen are not often there, and liars are everywhere, so it is always right to think about it this way. But Zhu Tong saw the spotless immortal posture of the little Taoist, but he couldn't measure what he was thinking with the heart of a liar anyway, which made him a little frustrated.

Master Ma Ye laughed, put away the dong flute and took the hand of the little Taoist: "Ma Mou has long wanted to get together with the bamboo Taoist, and the auspicious day is better than hitting the sun, so it is better to visit the snow land in Xiangxi, which is not only a wish, but also a sincere consultation." ”

The little Taoist priest did not shirk: "Very good, I have already had this intention in the future life." Don't dare to ask for advice, but quote each other. He smiled at Zhu Tong, and white teeth appeared in his red lips: "Sir, the previous karma has ended, the mountains and rivers have changed, and there will be a period in the future." ”

Ma Ye also smiled mysteriously at Zhu Tong and instructed Mei Yuanyin: "You go with Mr. Li and take care of Miss Su." Five days at most, three days at least, and I will find you. After speaking, he turned the cliff with the little Taoist priest and really left.

Mei Lanting responded, helped Ye Er to sit down, and Zhu Tong and Huang Hai were stunned.

Huang Hai had never seen such a character, and he didn't know that there were other rivers and lakes outside the legal world, which was originally a legendary existence; But he really appeared in front of him.

Although Zhu Tong was surprised like a sign, the shock in his heart was the strongest.

The Erpin Taoist Sect emphasizes purity and inaction, unlike the Yipin Golden Buddha, they have neither the highest status temple nor a unified martial arts system. In a narrow sense, Taoism is the general term for the 36 Taoist temples scattered on the rivers and lakes, and in a broad sense, it is the collection of all cultivators in the world.

And the bamboo Taoist priest is the master of the Taoist sect who has become famous in recent years, and he is also the representative of the Taoist sect to solve the disputes in the rivers and lakes. When Zhu Tong saw the bamboo Taoist priest on the train, he thought he was a little Taoist girl dressed as a man, but he didn't expect that he was the first person in the famous Taoist sect. In his impression, the bamboo Taoist priest is also an old man who is more than five fathoms.

There is also the parting sentence of the bamboo Taoist priest: The previous karma is over, and there will be a period in the future.

Zhu Tong understood that the bamboo Taoist priest secretly helped him on the train, which was an explanation of the bloody case between the Lord of the Cloud View and Zhu Tianyin a hundred years ago. The Second Rank Dao Sect has faced up to that period of history, but these words are absolutely inappropriate for him, and he is not the head of the Seven Rank Zhumen.

When Zhu Tong met with his second senior brother Xiaoyun Village last year, he also heard him talk about bamboo Taoist priests. Because the second senior brother and his disciples have been walking the rivers and lakes to contract temples and Taoist temples in the name of Taoist priests and monks all the year round, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts with genuine Taoist monks and monks. A few years ago, in Wudang Mountain, because of the competition for incense with the Taoist temple of the Erpin Taoist Sect, there was a scene of right and wrong, but what I didn't expect was; A few days later, the other party took the initiative to back down, and the second senior brother also received a letter from the bamboo Taoist.

Zhu Tong has also read the letter, the penmanship is elegant and dusty, but it contains steel bones; The words in the letter were also quite polite, just saying that everyone should take care of each other and should not calculate each other. While apologizing for the Taoist approach, the bamboo Taoist priest euphemistically proposed several locations, saying that they were places of Taoist cultivation, and hoped that the second senior brother and his party would not go there in the future.

After this letter, the second senior brother was embarrassed and took the initiative to withdraw from the surroundings of Wudang; A few days later, the Bamboo Daoist sent another letter, accompanied by a check, which was enough to pay for the loss of the owner of Xiaoyun Village.

If the bamboo Taoist wants to apologize to Zhumen for the grievances of a hundred years ago, the best object should be the second senior brother who is known as the owner of Xiaoyun Village, his reputation in the rivers and lakes is louder than Zhu Tong, and the order in the door is also above Zhu Tong. And Zhu Tong just got the name of a lone wolf with a thousand faces, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good name, why did the bamboo Taoist help, and he was so polite to him?

It is said that the bamboo Taoist priest was born with a Taoist fetus, and the young man went into the mountain to practice; Intensive study of Taijiquan, Baguazhang, Xingyi Boxing, Wudang Sword, Neijia Boxing and many other exercises, absorb and condense the final avenue; The bamboo Taoist priest is also very knowledgeable about the art of alchemy charms. He proposed to break away from the world of cause and effect, get rid of the influence of Buddhism, and return to the pure origin of Taoism, which was recognized by many Taoists.

But such a profound practitioner seems to know himself as he is. I don't understand, I don't understand, I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out; The little liar Zhu Tong has always thought that he is very wise, but he can't touch the depth of this sudden bamboo Taoist priest.

It was getting late, and on the way forward, not only Huang Hai was silent, but even Zhu Tong was also preoccupied.

When Huang Hai and Ye Er came the last time, they only returned to the Ecstasy Terrace, and that time it was because they met a bad tour guide, and the three of them were discouraged, and they hurriedly ended their trip to Zhangjiajie and went to Phoenix. And what made them unhappy was the mountain inn in front of them, a tall farmhouse courtyard inn.

In winter, tourists are scarce, just see the guests enter the door, sitting by the brazier to warm up the shopkeeper warmly greeted him, asked the cold to warm the hard work, and let a few people to the brazier to roast the fire.

The environment is not bad, there are not more than five rooms, there is air conditioning, color TV, there is a separate bathroom, but there is no electricity.

Last time, because there was no electricity, Ye'er's classmate Xiao Xinmei, the picky Miss Shanghai, did all kinds of duties to the young Tujia female tour guide, and finally turned into a quarrel, and everyone was in a bad mood, so they went down the mountain early the next morning and left.

Zhu Tong wanted to meet the female tour guide, all the legends related to Gu in Xiangxi are related to women; It is said that Hunan women are amorous, but their hot personality is also terrible to hate people.

The owner of the small courtyard is a Tujia man in his thirties, not tall, with a beard; He said he had forgotten the altercation a few months ago, and he couldn't remember who the tour guide was. There are thousands of tour guides in Zhangjiajie, and young and beautiful female tour guides account for a large proportion. The price of goods on the mountain is expensive, and the water and electricity are not convenient, and it is common for guests to quarrel with the guide.

The Yellow Sea is the hardest on this road, as soon as you enter the door, you leave your luggage and go to the room to rest; On the contrary, because the two girls rarely see snow, they excitedly chirp around the brazier to check the photos in their respective cameras, and after a while, they go out together to enjoy the winter scenery of the mountain village.

Zhu Tong walked around the inside and outside of the small courtyard and didn't see anything strange.

Ye Er and Mei Lanting finally knew the measure, and ran back before dark; Zhu Tong went in and helped her put the eggs away, and then came out to sit by the brazier and chat with the shopkeeper. Ye Er wanted to uncover the dog skin plaster on her stomach, but the reason was that it was not good-looking, and Zhu Tong and Mei Lanting did not agree.

It was dark, the red lantern outside the courtyard gate lit an ambiguous circle of light, candles were lit in the hall, hot meals were served, Ye'er successfully completed today's treatment, and walked out talking to the Yellow Sea.

The shopkeeper smiled and brought his home-brewed Baogu wine, saying that it was snowing and cold, but there was a power outage; These wines don't cost money, just to keep everyone warm. Zhu Tong was contrary to his previous caution, and clinked glasses with the Yellow Sea when he picked it up.

The clear home brew has a mellow taste, but the stamina is big enough, and after drinking a few bowls, Huang Hai's face is red, and his tongue is curled into a half-drunk state. Ye Er was still very interested in watching the two men drink at first, and she gradually saw that Zhu Tong wanted to get drunk with the Yellow Sea, and looked at it with big eyes and doubts, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Mei Lanting kicked Zhu Tong's feet on the table and asked him to pay attention: Ye'er's face was not good-looking.

Zhu Tong didn't care and continued to drink with the Yellow Sea; Although the amount of alcohol of the little liar is not very large, he still has the ability to do a little tricks and indoctrinate a few people.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Huang Hai to lie on the table with his body tilted, and his mouth was also talking nonsense. As soon as he was drunk, Ye'er was not happy, and of course this meal was more disappointing; Zhu Tong and the shopkeeper helped him back to the room and set him up, came out and sat down to continue eating and drinking.

Although the price of this Tujia-style meal was not cheap, the taste was not as good as the meat and numb that he praised the shopkeeper; Ye Er and Mei Lanting were both unfamiliar with Zhu Tong's performance, and after a few quick bites, they went to the room to take care of Huang Hai.

In the hall outside, the little liar seemed to be even more proud, grabbing the wine bowl and shouting at the shopkeeper to fight wine.

When Mei Lanting came out to look again, only Zhu Tong was munching on the case by the table, how ugly it was to eat. The shopkeeper was already nestled around the brazier and drunk.

"Dr. Lee, pay attention to your image." Mei Lanting sat down and couldn't help but tease him.

"Hehe, what's wrong? Isn't that unsightly? Miss Mei, come, let's have a few drinks. Zhu Tong poured another bowl of farmhouse wine and handed it over with both hands. Mei Lan Ting, a good name, Lan Ting is a song of a thousand que, and the long drunk pear garden is unwilling to return. There is wine, meat and snow here, and Miss Mei can sing a song of Mei Yuanyin, which is a happy place in life. ”

Mei Lanting was a little annoyed, watching Zhu Tong touch the wine bowl on his red lips, and then took it back and drank it all; Miaomu changed his interest: "I want to listen to Mei Yuanyin, there will be opportunities in the future, but I'm afraid that you will get bored by then." With that, he turned and walked to the room, ignoring the half-drunk little liar.

"Miss Mei, although this is not a black shop, it is not a stable place; Miss Su's safety will be taken care of by you. If there is a haunt at night, don't blame me for not warning you. ”

No matter how powerful a girl is, she has a natural fear of ghosts; Mei Lanting immediately stopped when he heard Zhu Tong say these words, hesitated for a moment, and turned around to look at this person who said ghosts and gods carefully.

It was already pitch black outside, and the red lanterns hanging high above the courtyard gate were swaying in the wind.

Two white candles shimmered yellowing in the hall; Zhu Tong sat firmly inside and out, the candlelight was dark on his face, and Mei Lanting felt that he was drinking and eating food, and looked at him with a smile.

"This small shop is the best in the neighborhood, but it is also an old house, with a large yard of blue bricks and red tiles facing the water, and two big trees in front of the door, which is magnificent."

"So what?" Mei Lanting still walked a few steps closer, and the wind blowing from the mountain entered through the hall, raising the charcoal sparks in the brazier under Zhu Tong's feet, and extinguishing them in the corner of the wall.

"It's nothing, everything is normal here, but you look at those two courtyard gates, is there anything strange? There are also the chefs and the little brothers who serve the dishes here, who leave as soon as it gets dark; Only the boss was still in the whole yard, but I was drunk. Hahahaha, everyone in Mei Yuan has a delicate heart, don't you understand? ”

As Zhu Tong spoke, Mei Lanting involuntarily came to sit down opposite him, trembling slightly and picking up the wine bowl, regardless of whether it was clean or not, he took a sip; Covering his chest, he said: "Don't scare me, I know that you wish the door to be able to pass through the ghosts and gods, with you here, who dares to come to find death?" Li: Senior Brother Zhu, what do you see? Is this really haunted? ”

The little girl was scared. Zhu Tong was very satisfied with his masterpiece, Mei Lanting had admitted to knowing Zhu Tong's name and his origin; But this is not enough, the petty liar has to add another fire, and only those who are defeated by fear can be subdued.

"You know that there are corpse chasers in Xiangxi, they can't see the light, they need to walk day and night, and they must stay overnight before the rooster crows in the morning. But do you know where they stay? ”

"I don't know, I wish you senior brother, say it quickly, don't sell it, my little sister will pour you wine." Mei Lanting is still innocent in the end, how can he be the opponent of a little liar? said that he was not afraid, and while he was pouring wine, he had already sat down next to the little liar.

"Okay, the beauty pours wine and drinks it to be fragrant, which is similar to the fragrance of your plum garden's red sleeves." Zhu Tong is actually half drunk, he is the kind of person who becomes more sober the more he drinks, as long as he doesn't drink and climbs down, his thinking is always calm. However, at this time, I was still careful and only took a small sip.

"The places where the corpse chasers lodge have several characteristics: there are no dogs around, they are on the edge of towns and villages, and they are adjacent to the main road; The main thing is that the door opens inward! Such places are all houses where murders have occurred, and locals will not sleep here. ”

At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was blown by the wind and creaked a few times; Mei Lanting felt a gloomy aura rushing towards her face, and couldn't help but shudder, and moved closer to Zhu Tong: "You mean—you mean—this store we live in is the ghost store where they used to live?" ”

The small courtyard is indeed on the edge of the village, and the sound of dogs barking can indeed be heard around, mainly because the two thick courtyard gates are really open inward. When the two girls went to the street to take pictures and buy things, they didn't pay attention to where the courtyard doors of other houses were open. However, since Mei Lanting fell into the strange atmosphere deliberately created by Zhu Tong, it would be good to have half the usual discernment, but at this time, he was already trembling and looking around, for fear that something would suddenly appear.

"Buzz." After a few sounds, the TV in the hall flashed a few times, and suddenly an image appeared. The living room instantly brightened, and the incandescent lights on the roof lit up. It was noisy outside, Mei Lanting cheered, and Zhu Tong cursed, it turned out to be a call.

Light can dispel darkness, but it can also bring courage and restore people's senses.

"Humph! What age do you still use these to deceive people? Mei Lanting came to her senses, twisted on Zhu Tong's arm and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Tong grabbed her, and his face changed to a sincere expression: "If you believe in the things of ghosts and gods, you can't say that you don't have them; I'm going to do one thing tonight, and you're going to hear me tell you what I'm going to say. ”

"If you don't listen or don't listen, you will deceive people, and everyone who wishes is a liar." Mei Lanting said that he didn't listen, but his footsteps didn't continue to move.

"I never said I wasn't a liar." Zhu Tong muttered dissatisfiedly, and gently pulled Mei Lanting's jacket to let her sit down.

"Don't you think Officer Huang is weird today? It can't be said that it is today, he has been very strange since he got on the train, and after arriving at Zhangjiajie Station yesterday, he has always been preoccupied, and he hardly said a few words. ”

"What's so strange about that? People are worried about their girlfriend's illness, like you, who is heartless, hunted down by your former girlfriend, and wants others to top the tank for you. ”

"Officer Huang is very familiar with this place, and this morning he would rather carry his own luggage than let us take a tour guide, why?" Zhu Tong ignored Mei Lanting's pickiness and continued his words.

"People have been here before, why do you know why you spend money on the road? In the morning, the tour guides gathered around the door did not look comfortable, and a few of us walked more comfortably. I said, Mr. Liar, are you too careful? ”

Zhu Tong said a word, and Mei Lanting defended it; Although it can barely be said, Zhu Tong, who is accustomed to living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a liar, is not as easy to be persuaded by Mei Lanting. He has been immersed in the world of intrigue for a long time, and has an instinctive sensitivity to any anomaly.

"If only it were that simple, I suspect that the Gu on Miss Su's body has something to do with him. If you think about it from another angle, Officer Huang's behavior is very strange: Su Ye came here with Huang Hai to travel before she provoked Gu Shang, and with her temperament, she shouldn't offend people. And Officer Huang is easily impulsive, and he is a prestigious police officer, so it is natural for him to clash with others. Also, you have to understand that the people who raise Gu are all women, if there is no great grudge, which woman will take Su Ye, who is not good at causing trouble, as the target of the spell? They were accompanied by a friend of Miss Su, who was the one who liked to make trouble. Besides, there are always signs of a person telling a lie, and the shopkeeper didn't tell the truth this afternoon, and he also knew Huang Hai, so I'm going to get them all drunk. ”

"What do you mean?" Mei Lanting walked back again, and looked at Zhu Tong's eyes with no longer disdain, but with a little admiration.

"The female tour guide, even if the female guide is not the one who performs the spell, must be an insider. I'm sure that within ten days, Huang Hai had been here, and had met the female guide or someone else here. Playing this set in front of me, he is still very tender. Little by little, the liar cleared the fog, and he enjoyed the moment, especially with a beautiful woman as the audience.

"Within ten days? How do you know for sure. Mei Lanting sat next to Zhu Tong again, and she already believed in the judgment of the little liar.

"It's easier, do you remember this?" Zhu Tong took out a white egg from his arms, with the word "sea" in dark red on it.

"It's the bloody words written by Officer Huang to save Miss Su."

"Look here." Zhu Tong took out a notebook from under his buttocks, on which was the registration form of the travelers who came to stay, and there was a name called the Navy on it.

Mei Lanting compared, the two words are really similar, compare the date, it is indeed within ten days.

"It's very similar, but it's a little bit different, this hook."

"If Ma Lao was here, he wouldn't be like you." Zhu Tong interrupted Mei Lanting's words and pointed: "Everyone's writing habits are not easy to hide, we Zhu Men write charms, that is not wrong at all." To look at a word, you have to look at the soul of the word, and the soul of the word 'sea' is in these three points of water, and the coherence and strength between these two hook points are the same. Ma Lao writes a lot and has studied fonts more deeply than me, so he should be able to say more.

"Besides, Su Ye has been seeing a doctor in Beijing for more than ten days, and Officer Huang is in Shanghai, and he is only then free to come here. This would explain why he was so familiar with the place, although the mountain road today is not tortuous, and there are many twists and turns. You are also a person who likes to travel, and you should know a common sense: people who have lived in the city for a long time will have a confused sense of orientation when walking in an unfamiliar environment, and their judgment and memory will also be unsound. The first time I walked through it, I could only look at it, and the second time I paid attention to the details, Officer Huang was too dull today and too familiar with the road. ”

Mei Lanting completely admired it, she is also a clever person, and she understands all of this; Xiang Zhu Tong smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, what do you need me to do?" ”
