Chapter 258: Dumplings (3)
Li Mao lay on the edge of an ancient well, carefully observing the situation in the ancient well. The well was so deep that even if he used his demonic power, he couldn't penetrate it. In the night, the well water is as black as ink, and the cold breath climbs up along the moss-covered wall of the well.
"Did you really look closely? There's a female ghost in this well who looks like my mother? ”
Yin Yuan leaned against a dead tree and dozed lazily. Because he was in a hurry, he hadn't replenished the monster for a long time, and his spirit was a little sluggish. If Li Mao hadn't told him that there was a female ghost in this well, and she looked very much like Ruyi's mother, he wouldn't have the leisure time to follow him to climb the well in the middle of the night.
"My little Master Yin, Master Yin, little swear, I really saw it."
Li Mao withdrew in frustration and sat on the edge of the well.
"During the day, when you pass by here with you, you have a very strange feeling. It was as if I heard a whining cry coming from this well, and the voice was a woman's, and it sounded very sad. Master, you also know that the little one has been with the shopkeeper for a long time, and this heart has become softer, so he secretly ran to the mouth of the well and glanced inside.
The well during the day is also the same as at night, dark and swarthy, and there is no bottom in sight. It was only at a close distance that the cry became clearer and clearer, it was indeed coming from under the well, and the little one felt the cool air that was swishing out of the well. ”
"Nonsense, it's all this time, is it still steaming up there?" Yin Yuan glanced at Li Mao.
Li Mao smirked twice, and then said: "Just as the little one was about to get up and keep up with you, I suddenly noticed that something seemed to be climbing up the well. Although the little one is a demon, he doesn't like this eerie feeling, but just when the little one was stunned, the thing in the well suddenly raised his head and glanced at the little one. At that time, the little one was stunned, because the woman in this well looked too much like the shopkeeper. ”
"And then? What did you do? Yin Yuan yawned again and stretched his body along the way.
"The little one didn't do anything!" Li Mao looked at Yin Yuan aggrievedly: "Oh, by the way, the little one stretched out his hand to the well." ”
"What are you reaching out for?"
"The little one didn't look at the female ghost climbing the well too hard, and was worried about what would happen if she couldn't climb up and fall down, so he reached out and kindly wanted to pull her. The result was good, the female ghost didn't care about the demon heart, and slipped back again. Tsk, at this point, she doesn't look like a shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper is in the well, he will let the small one pull up. ”
"Yes! If my mother is in the well, I will definitely let you pull her up first, and then kick you back into the well. ”
"Why?" Li Mao was puzzled.
"Because you're stupid!" Yin Yuansan walked up to Li Mao in two steps and poked his head with his chubby little fingers: "It's so decent, why did my Ruyi mother go down to the well?" Besides, even if you go down to the well, do you still need to pull her up? Even if my wishful mother is willing, my jealous fox father will definitely not be willing. If you take my mother with that hand, he will chop off your hand. Also, what kind of metaphor did you just have, you dare to compare the female ghost in this well with my Ruyi mother, do you want to be beaten back to your original form and cultivate again! ”
"Oh, my little master, isn't the little one just a casual one?" Li Mao said, got up, and bowed to Yin Yuan, "I beg the little master to see that the little one is carrying you all the way, just now, don't let the shopkeeper and Yin Ye know." This return to its original form is small, but re-cultivation is big. It's a catastrophe or something, and the little one really doesn't want to go through it again. ”
"It's good to know, what about the female ghost? Did you find it? ”
"Back to the master's words, no!"
"If not, let's go back." Yin Yuan stretched his waist and became more and more unenergetic: "Ruyi's mother and fox father are afraid that they have already left the Su family, according to the itinerary, they should have arrived here last evening." ”
"But we didn't see the shopkeeper."
"That's when something happens on the road and it's delayed." Yin Yuan's expression changed, "I always feel that this place is a little weird. ”
"Master, you also feel this way?"
"Where feng shui is good, in addition to raising people, it is also better to raise ghosts. Li Mao, haven't you noticed that this village has a very heavy yin qi? ”
"It's very strange, during the day, the little one has also seen the direction of the mountains here, just like you just said, it is definitely a feng shui treasure, the kind that can produce the general, but after entering the village, I found that the yin atmosphere here is quite heavy. What's even more strange is that in a place where the yin qi is so heavy, it didn't attract those little monsters and monsters who cultivated, and even the ghosts, the small ones, were only seen in the well. ”
"One more point! The villagers here do not believe in Buddhism or Taoism, and even the immortals that ordinary people often provide for are not here. For example, the gods of the land, the mountains. ”
"Sir, when you say that, it seems to be true." Li Mao scratched his head: "It is said that there is a temple not far from this village. The Empress of the Tang Dynasty loves to worship the Buddha, which is something that the people of the Tang Dynasty all know, so all the temples close to the village will be full of incense. But when we went to find Su Jingbo, the eldest young master of the Su family, we found that the temple was very clean, and except for Su Jingbo, I didn't see any other pilgrims. ”
"There must be a reason for something that goes wrong, and maybe these strange phenomena are also related to the female ghost you saw. Forget it, since the female ghost refuses to come out, let's go back for the time being, and wait for Ruyi's mother to come. With her tricks to attract ghosts, even if the female ghost in this well wants to hide, she can't hide anywhere, and when the time comes, whether she is round or flat, you and I will naturally be able to see clearly. ”
"What the master said, I didn't think of it before. If I thought about it earlier, we would have gone here in advance to do something, and we would have come with them as the shopkeeper. ”
Li Mao said, got up, and glanced into the well again. The originally calm well water seemed to make waves, making a gurgling sound in the darkness.
Li Mao snorted, shrugged his shoulders, and said to Yin Yuan: "Yes, I said why didn't this female ghost come out, and she hid at the bottom of the well to cook dumplings and eat them." Master, listen to the sound of the well water, it doesn't look like the sound of boiling water. ”
"Master, I don't cook, where can I hear it." Yin Yuan wrinkled his nose: "The young master is sleepy, I have to go back and squint first." As for you, either catch the female ghost in this well and give it to me for breakfast, or find two chicken legs for me to come back, otherwise I will be very hungry, and I will swallow you first. ”
"Don't worry, the female ghost in this well, the small one is not guaranteed to be caught, but there will definitely be chicken legs."
Li Mao said, touched his head, and laughed twice at Yin Yuan.
Just as Li Mao turned around, something slowly rose from the dark well. Li Mao felt the strange aura coming from behind him, so he turned around and saw a woman's head.
The woman's body slowly rose upward, and Li Mao and Yin Yuan noticed that the woman was wearing a bright red wedding dress. In just a few moments, the female ghost had already exposed most of her body from the well, until finally she completely floated out of the well.
"This ...... Could it be that you have eaten dumplings and come out to breathe? ”
Li Mao looked at the female ghost, but the female ghost just lowered her head and floated in the air, and a bright red bridal dress looked weird and terrifying in the night. Just after Li Mao finished saying that, the female ghost's originally lowered head slowly lifted up little by little.
Yin Yuan saw that the female ghost raised her head, and couldn't help straightening her back and looking at the female ghost's face. Sure enough, as Li Mao said, this female ghost is somewhat similar to her Ruyi mother's parent.
The female ghost's face was pale, her eyes were all white, there were no pupils, and her expression was gloomy and dignified. She first stared at Li Mao and Yin Yuan for a while, and slowly tilted her head back until she reached an angle that normal people couldn't reach.
Li Mao touched his nose and asked Yin Yuandao, "Master, what do you see this female ghost doing?" Do you practice dancing? ”
Yin Yuan squinted, made a move quietly, and went to catch the female ghost. As soon as her hand touched the corner of the female ghost, the female ghost suddenly turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.
"It's not a ghost, it's a spirit!"
Yin Yuan shook his hand and fell leisurely from above the ancient well.
Li Mao also got rid of the hippie smile he had just seen and stood behind Yin Yuan.
"It seems that there is something strange in this village!"
"Let's go find my mother and kiss them first! Although there is a fox father, it is impossible for them to be in any danger, but then again, it is precisely because of the fox father's presence that it is not easy for them to see these small oddities. ”
"Master is worried that someone is setting a trap in this village?"
"Do you remember that unwarranted?" Yin Yuan looked at the ancient well.
Li Mao nodded: "Remember!" The little one still remembers that Yin Ye said that person is unfathomable, and even Yin Ye can't see through his details. ”
"I always feel that person is here for Ruyi's mother and fox father, when I was in Luoyang, the capital of God, many things happened that were related to that person, and after leaving the city, there was no news of that person. I suspect that he is hiding in the shadows, and as for what exactly is plotted, it is not clear, but those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come, and we cannot be unguarded. ”
"What about Chang Daren? Could it be the unwarranted person. Li Mao frowned: "The new Master Xie Xuan Xie from the Jingshi Yamen seems to be a little involved in this unwarranted, although Lord Chang is the opposite sex brother of the shopkeeper, but in the end he obeys that Xie Xuan's orders." Mortals are different from us, they are easily seduced by money and power. In particular, Chang Daren has not yet won the heart of the shopkeeper, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hate because of love. ”
"Changtai? Probably not. Yin Yuan secretly pondered: "When my mother and they went out of the city, they deliberately left me behind. Obviously let Chang Tai and Xiao Shengzi help take care of me, but in fact, let me protect them in secret. Along the way, I didn't find anything abnormal about Chang Tai, but his heart for his mother was real. It's a pity that her mother has already had a fox father. ”
"In this case, small worries are superfluous." Li Mao said, also breathing a sigh of relief.
At the other end of the village, there was a voice from the husband, "The weather is dry, be careful of the fire and candles, and the fire!" ”
