Chapter 1 Summer Tales at Night in Meiyan Town
Meiyan Town is a place where it often rains, and there are always some moist mosses growing at the corners of the walls of white bricks and green tiles, and there are a few small yellow flowers the size of rice on top of the green to add vitality and color; A cool breeze, a few rainy rains, and a few wisps of mysterious floating lotus fragrance rolled up; Stretching out, tightly enveloping the sky of the entire Meiyan Town, it was washed away by the smoke and rain, and it was as pure as a whole piece of blue crystal; Blue and ethereal, clear and clear.
The crowd gathered and scattered stepped on the bluestone slab that had just been soaked in spring water, and made a sound: "Da Da Da ~".
During the day, a few concubines gathered under the eaves in twos and threes, drinking tea with melon seeds, and chatting about the times that had slipped away from their lives - it was the trivial sound of fireworks in the world.
At night, the dark and quiet night sky of Meiyan Town is decorated with sparkling stars, because the sky has just been washed by the rain during the day, the stars are also extraordinarily bright, like fine gems lying on the blue sky. In a few moments, the moon with its golden rings lifted the clouds and shone a hazy light on the rows of houses, which looked like they were covered with a light silver veil from a distance.
However, the sultry summer air wrapped the moon like a hot enchantment, and a cool breeze with water vapor blew from the surface of the lake, which was rare to cool on the skin! The comfortable moon can't help but open all the pores on her body to feel the most pleasant gift of this summer night.
"Listen to my grandfather, the former Meiyan Town was a pile of dead people. Don't look at it so prosperous now, it's only a few decades of popularity! β
The strange low-pressure voice of the drooping boy swayed faintly in the school hall that should have been uninhabited, and the sound of the filamentous was like nothing, as light as a breeze that could be blown away, but the heaviness of the yin and yang weirdness was like a thousand pounds of dark iron hitting you hard in your heart. It's like a little ghost crawling out of the ghost gate and lingering around you.
At this time, the school shrouded in night had closed early, and Mr. Fang, who was teaching, had already locked the door. But the classroom, which should have been empty, suddenly lit up, and several half-human-high shadows were reflected on the papier-mΓ’chΓ© doors and windows, flickering and flickering, and anyone who passed by here would be startled.
"Why, why do you say it's a pile of dead people?" Yue Tu stabbed the little boy beside him, urging him to speak quickly, and not to say something more to sell Guan Zi to arouse people's appetite.
The little boy's name is Li Xiang, his grades are not good, but he is at the middle level, but he likes to read some wild books and miscellaneous books on weekdays, and his imagination is extremely rich. Every night when the night market tiles are lit up, and the actors babble and sing, they carry the stool to his waist to the storyteller to listen to the story.
What girl's love loves him to hear, and when he hears the depths of that love, he can't help but burst into tears; He also understands the friendship between the men and the rivers, and when he hears the climax, he will also pat his thighs excitedly and applaud! But he prefers to listen to some weird scripts, because he wants to be a real "storyteller." β
"It's the 'Altar of Compassion', have you ever heard of it?"
Yue Tu shook her head, looked at Lin Zao opposite with a blank face and asked him if he knew, Lin Zao was also at a loss, so he said: "You look at me, I don't know, Li Xiang, this guy has read more books and books than I have eaten." After speaking, he encouraged Li Xiang to continue.
Seeing that someone was quite interested in the story he told, he couldn't help but get up in good spirits, sat up straight, and talked about it in a colorful way, looking like a storyteller, I'm afraid that I don't really think of myself as a storyteller!
Legend has it that a hundred years ago, there was a big devil named Su Huairan, Su Huairan was originally the head of the Hongxi faction, Qingyi, the big disciple of Qingyi, but because the head of Qingyi seemed to value his junior brother Su Panwei (chan), Su Huairan, who was jealous, secretly cultivated the demon way, took a shortcut, but he didn't expect to end up going mad into the demon's body and finally being controlled by the demon, and killed many innocent monks and even the unarmed people of Dawn under the instigation of the demon!" Speaking of this, Li Xiang couldn't help beating his chest and sighing, sighing, how could there be such a bloody and brutal person in this world?!
When he heard that Su Huairan had killed the innocent people of Dawn, Yue Di was also thinking, fortunately, this big devil is no longer there, if he really lets himself run into it, he must kill him cleanly, and directly let him be wiped out in this world, and he will not even be given the opportunity to reincarnate!
Later, the head of the Hongxi faction, Elder Qingyi, had compassion for all sentient beings, and led the whole sect of disciples to crusade, and then the two sides fought for three days and two nights, Su Huairan saw that he was not the opponent of the head of Qingyi, so he ran to the mountain behind our Meiyan Town, how could the head of Qingyi just let him go, so he led Su Panwei and a group of disciples to come here to strangle Su Huairan. Because the battle was too fierce, Su Huairan gained a deep path, and Su Panwei, who was not cultivated enough, finally died in that battle.
Because the whole Hongxi faction had compassion for all sentient beings, and in order to mourn Su Panwei's death, the great battle a hundred years ago was called the 'Altar of Compassion'. β
Lin Zao was angry, his thick eyebrows were erected, his eyes, which were not very big, were also round at the moment, and the breath that came out of his nose shook the candlelight, and said: "This Su Huairan is really hateful, he can't see people's good, and he has to pull another cushion back when he dies, and his heart and eyes are also broken!" If only I were an executioner now, I would cut off his soul myself and make atonement for the sins of the dead people! β
"But I obeyed what I said in the book, because Su Panwei and those monks, the people died too miserably, too wronged. The resentment is too heavy, and the lord of Hades in the underworld doesn't accept them, so instead of reincarnating in the 'Compassion Altar', the people who sacrificed in the 'Compassion Altar' have changed to lonely souls and wild ghosts that no one wants, and every time at night, you can hear the spirits of the back mountain crying and shouting for injustice......
At this time, a cool breeze rose from the ground, straight into the nine heavenly clouds, blew open the closed doors and windows, and brought up a cloud to cover half of the moon.
Suddenly the half-dark sky and the strange noise of the doors and windows startled the little girl next to her, and she hurriedly drilled into the arms of the moon, waving her fists and beating the boy who told the story, crying as she beat back.
As a girl, Yuedi can't see girls crying the most, especially a fragrant and soft lady like Xiao Xue'er.
"Li Xiang! Look at you, what you said was so terrifying that Xiao Xue'er was scared to cry. β
Li Xiang was not happy when he heard this, telling the story vividly was his lifelong dream and his goal, why was it his fault? So he immediately retorted: "Yuedi, how can you be like this, you asked me to talk about it just now, why are you only to blame me for Xiao Xue'er crying now?" β
Originally, Yuedi wanted to refute something more, but her big round eyes rolled, and she felt that what Li Xiang said was quite right, and she really didn't seem to be reasonable, so she obediently shut up.
But the long black and strong Lin Zao couldn't stand it anymore, stretched out his fat and black little hand and poked Xiao Xue'er's little head melon seeds, and said, "I told you, don't come here if you're afraid, you still come." I'm scared of myself and blame others, I know how to cause trouble. β
This is a terrible statement, Xiao Xue'er cried even more fiercely, and even the most pitiful Yuedi was a little overwhelmed.
Suddenly, there was Xiao Xue'er's cry, Lin Zao's reproach, and Yue Tu and Li Xiang's quarrel in the school. Crying and making trouble, screaming and screaming like a bee noise and like a boiling pot. Between the shouts, the unconsciously terrifying atmosphere disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Squeak-" The classroom door was suddenly pushed open by a withered and sallow hand. By the light of the moon they could see that the skin of the hands was loose, and when they looked up, they saw the owners of the hands.
The gray hair was shining silver in the moonlight, and the horizontal eyebrows were coldly raised, and I saw that the mustache on Mr. Fang's chin, which was already in the year of destiny, was split angrily! Standing at the door angrily with a ring ruler in his hand, he looked like he hated iron and steel, and said: "It's you again, what are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night!" β
"Oh no, run!" Yue Tu took the lead in jumping down from the window, Li Xiang, Lin Zao and Xiao Xue'er were like dumplings, "plopping" and jumping off the window with Yue Tu, Mr. Fang was behind them panting and chasing, shouting: "Slow down, slow down........."
Xiao Xue'er was still crying while running: "Woo woo...... What should I do, Old Man Fang is about to catch up. β
"Don't worry, Old Man Fang is old and can't catch up! Come, little Cher, give me your hand, and I'll run with you as fast as I can. As she spoke, Yue Di reached out and grabbed Xiao Xue'er's hand and rushed forward, not caring whether Xiao Xue'er could keep up at all.
The four of them ran to the old banyan tree in the depths of the village in one go, without stopping to catch their breath on the way.
It wasn't until they confirmed that Old Man Fang couldn't catch up anymore that they stopped.
Yuedi held the old banyan tree and breathed in the fresh air: "Huhu...... Hahaha, Old Man Fang has an old bone, and he can't catch up, ah, I'm tired to death. β
Lin Zao also sat on the root of the tree tiredly, and suddenly a lot of oxygen poured in made Lin Zao feel some pain in his lungs: "Huhuhu~ It's too exciting, I'll come back next time!" β
As soon as she heard that there would be a next time, Xiao Xue'er would stop doing it immediately, and she sobbed and cried while snorting into her nose: "Huh? How can there be a next time, don't want it, don't want it, woo woo woo...... Going home so late to teach Aunt Xi is going to punish me to death, woo woo woo woo ......"
