The first chapter, Gu Jiuling was confused for a while
Gu Jiuling dragged his heavy suitcase and walked on the road on the outskirts of the city, with endless verdant rice fields in front and behind.
The last train in the suburbs had left an hour earlier, right under Gu Jiuling's nose.
Although it was approaching evening, the midsummer sun still spared no effort to bake everything on the surface.
The fine and dense beads of sweat wrapped Gu Jiuling tightly, the breeze swept the fragrance of the soil and rice fields, and the slightest coolness made her extremely greedy.
Hurrying in the heat was undoubtedly a drain on her strength and patience, and when another bead of sweat slipped down her cheek, her exposed will finally turned to ashes.
"Ah!!!!h
In a fit of rage, she pushed the suitcase forward, and the huge suitcase contained a broken guqin, which she had seen. Just this morning, she stumbled upon the secret treasure room of her antique-loving old grandfather.
Gu Jiuling knew her grandfather's stinky temper, so she also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and with the excellent principle of stealing things to pick up valuable steals, she went straight to the C position where all the antiques were placed, added a glass cover, and played the guqin with warm yellow lights.
The guqin was extremely dazzling under the illumination of the light, and Gu Jiuling couldn't hold back the greed gushing out of his heart, uh, love. As soon as he took the piano into his arms, before he could take a serious look, the dedicated alarm was activated.
Gu Jiuling, who has been used to covering his ears since he heard loud noises, naturally threw the piano to cover his ears, and the guqin naturally fell into two, and the old old-fashioned grandfather came naturally, and saw the guqin divided into two on the ground - smiled.
Yes, smile brightly, smile on your eyebrows, and joy from heaven.
The old-fashioned "earnest" told her a fantasy story, why their Gu family has to produce a demon master who is "invincible against the sky and invincible, capturing demons and collecting demons" every ninth generation, and when it comes to Gu Jiuling's generation, it happens to be the reincarnation of the ninth generation, and she happens to be the only seedling of this generation, there is no doubt that she is the chosen son.
As for why she is not as "invincible and invincible" as said in her previous ancestral home, the old old man used "the ability has not awakened", "she was sealed by mysterious power", and "she will be the strongest one in the history of the demon master".
Gu Jiuling was enthusiastic when he heard it, and after listening to it, he even wanted to clap his hands and applaud loudly, and eagerly asked to "talk about one more". She listened to this kind of fantasy story of legends and ghosts, and she listened to it with relish, but she would definitely not believe it.
Until the old-fashioned old man just recited a few incantations, the broken guqin swayed from the ground with colorful light, accompanied by a calming and beautiful rhythm.
She failed to hold down Newton's coffin board and failed to prevent the collapse of her worldview.
......
But after an hour of exposure under the scorching sun and a five-kilometer hike, her worldview was reorganized little by little.
When she picked up the guqin, she obviously felt light, how could it be like it was filled with lead as soon as she put it in the suitcase, and the hands that had been behind her back when she was reciting the mantra in the old fashion......
A week ago, she took the old man's favorite set of four treasures in the study, a month ago, she saw that the old man's treasured blue and white bowl was also good, and now everything seems to make sense.
There are indeed monsters in this world, that is, the old man's old monster who loves to hold grudges and be cautious.
"Good boy, you take this guqin to Huaxin Road in the city to find an antique shop called Yunrong Pavilion, the boss of the store will help you repair this qin, the demon spirit in this qin is the most important partner in your career as a demon master, you must take it seriously!" The old-fashioned admonition was still echoing in his ears, and Gu Jiuling's temples jumped suddenly, one was hot, and the other was angry.
"Dead old man, I must pull out your beard when I go back!" Gu Jiuling looked up to the sky and shouted.
The Gu family's house was in the deep mountains and old forests, and the driver Wang Bo threw Gu Jiuling at the waiting point in the nearest town to the city according to the arrangement of the old man, that is, the old old-fashioned grandfather. Gu Jiuling is now in a dilemma, go back, half an hour by car plus an hour on foot just now, and then go back for at least a few hours, go to the city, it will take several hours, and the mobile phone will be out of battery for a long time.
Seeing that it was going to get dark soon, Gu Jiuling was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and when she thought that she was going to spend it in this wilderness tonight, she wanted to cry a little without tears.
The current miserable situation was all caused by the damn piano in the suitcase, and she was so angry that she kicked the box, and the box made a muffled sound, but it didn't shake much because of the kick.
Gu Jiuling was a little puzzled, she was angry and resentful, she tried her best, but the box had no intention of falling, which was obviously unreasonable.
"What the old man said can't be true. Gu Jiuling couldn't help but beat the drum in her heart, she was not very bold, if it weren't for her enthusiasm today, she would never have obediently gone to the city to repair the piano.
Just as she was nervous, the box slowly fell again......
The sound of the box falling to the ground was crisp, not like the one that had made her half dead, but like an empty box.
She held her breath with her neck and asked cautiously, "You won't be a monster, I'll tell you, if you are a monster, I'll ...... I'm not afraid of you, if there really are monsters, the necklace that my grandmother left me to ward off evil spirits must be real, and it will make your soul fly!" she grasped the quaint necklace around her neck with her right hand, and stared at the box on the ground with wary eyes.
The sky was still bright, but it was dyed a warm yellow, and one person and one box were facing each other strangely.
The temperature drops, and the frogs in the rice fields let out a crisp "quack" in celebration.
"Wowโโ, don't kill me, I'm still young! Grandpa, save me!!" The sudden croaking of the frog broke her strong psychological defense, and tears burst into tears, she couldn't take care of it, and begged for mercy again and again.
She simply sat on the ground and cried, staring at the box in a daze when she was tired of crying, and began to cry again after recovering a little bit of strength, like a helpless child.
The sky was getting darker and darker, Gu Jiuling's voice was already hoarse, and her whole body couldn't lift any strength, but she didn't care about this, and still used a heart-rending and hoarse voice "Helpโโ!"
"Didi-" The car's lights shone from behind, Gu Jiuling's reaction was already a little sluggish, and it took several seconds for her to catch the information of being saved, she slowly turned her head and looked at the "ambulance" behind her, now whatever car she saw was an ambulance in her eyes.
She made two sounds in her hoarse voice, "Help me", and then it was as if she had been drained of strength, and her eyes were dark, and she didn't know anything.
