Chapter 14 Yuantong Mountain God

[The book continues from the above, the last book mentioned that Mu Qingming and Mo Han, according to the little rag found on the scorched corpse, determined the direction for Zhao Liang to find the identity of the scorched corpse, and then Zhao Liang went to investigate the identity of the scorched corpse according to this clue. After Mu Qingming slept for a while, he decided to go up the mountain to find the mountain god and inquire about the case. In the night, Uncle Tie Hua and Aunt Tie came to the door, and after hearing Mu Qingming's story about the charred corpse case, he agreed with Mu Qingming's plan to find the mountain god to ask for clues; At the same time, he also reminded Mu Qingming that the dragon locker can temporarily cooperate with officials in the investigation of the case, but it is more effective when using the method of locking the dragon man. Then Mu Qingming let the wasted Xuan Miao go out to check*, and the dragon lock man went out with the demon fox Mohan, and went to Yuantong Mountain at night to find the mountain god. 】

After dinner, night had fallen, and darkness had covered the land. In the silent Shala Alley, except for the gentle breeze blowing, only occasionally one or two dog barks came from the mouth and end of the alley.

After Miao Jue made food for the two ghosts and Miao Xuan, he went to light all the lanterns hanging high inside and outside the small courtyard.

After Mo Han cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he played with Mei Xiang for a while, turned over the flower rope, and took Mei Xiang to the house to sleep. Mu Qingming sat alone in the hall, tasting the wonderful tea brewed for him behind the palm lamp.

He wanted to find the mountain god because the scorched corpse cases all happened in the northern foothills of Yuantong Mountain, and maybe the mountain god could see any clues or the murderer who burned the corpse. But the mountain god only appears at midnight; Although it was dark now, it was not yet midnight, and even if he Mu Qingming walked all over the entire Yuantong Mountain, he could not find the mountain god. So I had to be patient and wait for time to pass slowly.

"Tuk Tuk!" Before he had taken two sips of tea, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate.

Hearing this, he walked out of his house quickly, stood behind the door and asked, "Who?" ”。

"Tie Hua, you Uncle Tie." The person outside the door heard the wonderful voice, paused and said, "You are a stinky boy, can't you even feel my Qi?" ”。

Miaojue's face suddenly showed joy, and she shouted loudly: "It turned out to be my Uncle Tie." Hurriedly stretched out his hand to open the door gate, and then opened the door open, bringing a gust of wind.

Through the faint light of the red lantern hanging on the door, I saw Tie Hua outside the door, standing in front of the door with a smile on his face, looking at him with a smile and a word. Behind him was a middle-aged woman wearing a blue floral gown on a white background, with gray hair simply coiled up.

"Aunt Tie." Miao Jue shouted as she looked at the middle-aged woman with a kind smile, and her face was even more joyful.

"Uncle Tiehua, Aunt Tie, why don't you come during the day?" Mu Qingming also walked out of the hall when he heard the sound, and after standing beside Miao Jue, he turned sideways and said, "Don't stand outside the door, come in and sit." ”。

"During the day, I was blessing the formation seal, so I didn't care about it." Uncle Tie Hua saw that there were no outsiders around, so he smiled and said bluntly.

"The young master has lost weight." Aunt Tie looked Mu Qingming up and down for a while, then took a step forward and took Mu Qingming's hand, as if a mother and son were meeting, her eyes showed a little distress, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Is it not good to eat here?" Or is there no one to take care of you at home? If you want to eat, you can tell your aunt, and your aunt will make it for you. ”。

Tie Hua and his wife have taken good care of Mu Qingming since he was a child, and Aunt Tie still treats Mu Qingming as her own, protects everything, and thinks about this young master.

At this time, as soon as Aunt Tie met, without saying a word, there was a burst of concern, which also made Mu Qingming's heart feel a burst of warmth.

"Why didn't I see that I was thin?" With a slightly suspicious gaze, Mu Qingming looked himself up and down for a while, and hurriedly said, "Come, come into the house and say." ”。 After finishing speaking, he welcomed Tie Hua and Tie Aunt into the courtyard, and helped Tie Xiu to go in the direction of the hall.

At first glance, it really looks like a mother and son.

After sitting down in order in the hall, after everyone exchanged a few words, Mu Qingming told Uncle Tie Hua about the recent charred corpse case from beginning to end, and briefly talked about what he was going to do next.

By the way, he also informed Uncle Tie Hua of the cause and effect of his cooperation with Zhao Liang.

Although Tie Hua is not a member of the Mu family, he is just a member of the Mu family, but he is also a dragon locker. He and his wife are the senior apprentices of Mu Qingming's grandfather, and they belong to the relationship between brother and sister; And since the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, he has been working for the Mu family.

There is nothing to say about loyalty, the old demon head who has been against the Mu family many times tried to win him over, not only did he not get his nod of approval, but many of them died at his hands on the spot.

As for the experience of subduing demons and eliminating demons, he is also much richer than Mu Qingming. Over the past few hundred years, the evil people and evil demons and monsters who have been killed by Tie Hua have not been 1,000 but 800. Therefore, Mu Qingming was in front of him, and he never behaved as a young master. The same is true at this moment, and they are humbly asking each other for advice.

"Hmm." After listening carefully to Mu Qingming's words, Tie Hua took a sip of fragrant tea and moistened his throat before slowly speaking: "Young Master's plan is feasible, after all, the spirit of the mountain god is connected to the mountains and mountains, and there should be nothing she doesn't know about the things near the mountains." ”。

"But I have to remind the young master that we dragon lockers have a way of locking dragon people; Your cooperation with Inspector Zhao is certainly conducive to your access to the scene of the murder, but don't always use the methods of ordinary people to investigate the case. After a pause, Tie Hua, who had a faint and solemn face on his face, continued: "Otherwise, when you encounter a complicated strange case, you may miss the first time to kill the evil demons, which will cause more people to die." ”。

Mu Qing nodded silently, agreeing and humbly accepting Uncle Tie Hua's suggestion.

But Aunt Tie was not happy, her face was a little gloomy, and after glancing at Tie Hua, she complained: "Old man, you can say a few words about the young master." The young master is not a child anymore, and he can think of finding the mountain god when the clue is broken, which is very good, which shows that our young master is very smart. ”。

When Uncle Tie Hua heard this, he put away his solemn expression and smiled, and said no more. Mu Qingming, on the other hand, smiled awkwardly and did not speak. He knew that Aunt Tie was still protecting him as always, and his heart was even warmer.

While speaking, Mo Han, who had already coaxed Mei Xiang to sleep, slowly went downstairs, and when he stood in the hall, he saw Uncle Tie Hua, and after being slightly stunned, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Uncle Tie Hua." ”。

Then his eyes moved, and when he fell on Aunt Tie, his eyes showed a little faint inquiry and confusion.

"This is my Iron Aunt." At the same time, Mu Qingming hurriedly introduced Mo Han: "It's Uncle Tiehua's wife." ”。

As soon as the words landed, Mo Han put away his confusion and showed a respectful expression, bowed to Aunt Tie, and called out politely: "Aunt Tie." ”。

"This girl is so handsome." After Aunt Tie responded, she looked Mo Han up and down with a smile, noticed the demonic energy in the other party's body, and immediately guessed that this was the fox demon that Mu Shanshu said after he went back; Just as he was about to get up and pull Mo Han and ask a long question, he was stopped by Uncle Tie Hua.

"Old woman, the young master and the young grandmother still have things to do, you have to talk about family affairs another day." Uncle Tie Hua hurriedly spoke, and at the same time quietly gave Mu Qingming a look.

He knew his wife too well, and he was born a chatterbox; If you don't talk a few words all day long, you will feel uncomfortable. Once she pulls Mo Han down, then she has to pull Mo Han to have a good time tonight, then everyone won't want to sleep. Therefore, Mu Qingming hurriedly gave Mu Qingming a look, and motioned for him to take Mo Han to Yuantong Mountain.

And Mu Qingming, who had already had this intention, understood it at the moment, and he immediately got up and said, "That Uncle Tie Hua and Aunt Tie, you can sit at home more, and we will go out to do errands first; Where hospitality is not good, you have a lot of seas. ”。

After finishing speaking, he said to Miaojue: "Get some fruit pastries for Uncle Tiehua and Aunt Tie; In addition, tell Miao Xuan that he will check the matter of * later. ”。

After finishing speaking, he pulled up Mo Han, who was still a little inexplicable, turned around and strode out of the hall, heading towards the outside of the courtyard.

Seeing one person and one demon out of the small courtyard, Aunt Tie hurriedly lowered her voice and sighed to Uncle Tie Hua: "Old man, the young master and this girl are a perfect match for talented women." ”。

Uncle Tie Hua didn't want to talk to his old wife, so he just smiled and didn't say anything, and picked up his teacup......

After leaving the small courtyard, Mo Han followed Mu Qingming and walked briskly on the street with the faint smell of gunpowder smoke emitted by firecrackers floating in the air, and headed towards Yuantong Mountain.

After walking for a long time to the eastern foot of Yuantong Mountain, after casually following a mountain path, Mu Qingming opened his eyes. After everything on the mountain in front of him suddenly became clear, he walked towards the mountain with Mo Han.

"Mountain god, I've only heard of it but haven't seen it, this time it's an eye-opener." Mo Han, who was led by Mu Qingming, asked excitedly as he walked: "It is said that they can overtake the grass and trees in the mountains and protect the small animals and lost people in the mountains, is it true?" ”。

"It's true, but the so-called god is the title that people give her, not the real god." In the dark night, his eyes glanced left and right in the shade of the trees in the mountains, looking for the traces of the mountain god, and said as he walked: "Actually, they are just like you, just some monsters. ”。

As soon as these words came out, Mo Han was surprised; Although she is a demon, she is a little demon, and her experience is still too shallow, so she naturally doesn't know that the mountain god is not a real god.

"You know, don't you know?" Glancing back, I just saw Mu Qingming, who had Mo Han slightly open his lips and a little surprised in his eyes, and continued to explain to her: "At first, people were ignorant, but when they saw that they could make the grass and trees obey the order, the mountains and rocks obediently regarded them as gods, so they began to make offerings and build temples for them to shape their golden bodies. And the so-called mountain gods are all demons transformed by spirits, so with the power of offerings and envelopes, their power will continue to increase. There are even mountain gods who are so powerful that they can move mountains and reclaim the sea. So it deduced the story of Yugong moving mountains and the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, holding a mountain whip to build the Great Wall for Qin Shi Huang. ”。

While talking, the two of them have been shuttling among the lush grass and trees on Yuantong Mountain for a while.

"I've also heard a rumor, it's a wild history. The protagonist of the story you should be familiar with, is the day-by-day praise of the father. Mu Qing stood still suddenly, turned his head left and right a few times, and after looking for traces of the mountain god in the woods that covered the sky and the waist-length weeds, he turned around and walked south: "It is said that in ancient times, after the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou in the north, he tried to advance into the Central Plains, but the Gonggong tribe was on Chiyou's side, so the two clans went to war. However, the Yellow Emperor's chariot was invincible, and the co-workers were not low and retreated in defeat, but the Yellow Emperor was in hot pursuit. At that time, in order to save the Gonggong, three thousand people gathered in the sand into a mountain, stretching for dozens of miles, and the chariot troops of the Yellow Emperor took the opportunity to kill when they crossed the sand mountain. All 3,000 tribesmen were killed in the battle, but the Gonggong tribe was able to escape. The gathering of sand into mountains mentioned in this rumor is actually the power of the mountain god. ”。

After finishing speaking, Mu Qingming suddenly stood still. Mo Han behind him was slightly stunned, and when he looked ahead, he saw a clearing no more than a zhang in length between the grass and trees, and there was a small tower made of stone on the ground, and a palm-sized stone statue was placed on the top, and he could only see his mouth and nose but could not see other appearances. But in terms of appearance, he looks like a person.

"This is the mountain god of Yuantong Mountain." Mu Qingming said lightly.
