Chapter 9: The Land of Ghosts
Zhuge Lei grabbed Hao Jiyou and came all the way to the south wall.
It was the middle of the night, and there was silence all around, not even a ghost.
Hao Jiyou's heart was like ashes, and he said with a sad face: "Zhuge Daxia, you want to kill me...... It's good here, there's no one here, it's easy to start...... Still, I want you to give me a good time. All men are mortal? Twenty years later, buddy, I'm a ...... again Sling! ”
"Kill you, isn't that too cheap for you?" Zhuge Lei snorted, pointed to the wall and said, "Climb over with me!" ”
"What? How do I climb over such a high wall? Hao Jiyou looked at the wall and complained.
The head of the wall was a foot high, and it was made of brick and stone, and it was indeed not easy to climb.
And Hao Jiyou is short in stature, fat and embarrassed, and he is not the kind of person who is skillful.
Zhuge Lei took a step back, suddenly stood up, stepped on the wall, and climbed on the wall lightly!
", hero!" Hao Jiyou was dumbfounded, and admired Zhuge Lei so much.
Zhuge Lei didn't appreciate Hao Jiyou's flattery, took out a soft whip from his waist, hung it down, and shouted in a low voice: "Grab the whip rope, I'll pull you up!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Hao Jiyou hurriedly grabbed the whip and pulled it twice in his hand.
"Up!" As soon as Zhuge Lei used his strength, like an eagle grabbing a chicken, he lifted Hao Jiyou, who was more than 100 catties, on the wall.
Standing on the wall, Zhuge Lei looked around.
Beyond the wall is a small river, and beyond the river is a series of low hills, which stretch as far as the eye can see under the moonlight.
After a while, Zhuge Lei said, "The ghost just now fled to the southeast. Jump down with me and look over there. ”
Before Hao Jiyou could speak, he felt that his left arm was tight, and he had already jumped down with Zhuge Lei.
After landing, Zhuge Lei strode into the meteor, stepped on the bridge to cross the river, and went straight to the southeast.
Hao Jiyou followed quickly, and said tentatively: "Zhuge Daxia, you won't kill me?" Thank you for the grace of not killing, I am the only seedling of the eighteenth generation of single transmission, so, on behalf of my eighteenth generation ancestors, I would like to express my gratitude to you! ”
Zhuge Lei smiled, then turned his head and said, "I didn't plan to kill you, I just planned to make your life worse than death!" ”
"Huh? Is life better than death? Then you might as well kill me! Die early and be reincarnated early, and be a Maoshan disciple in the next life, just as majestic as you......" Hao Jiyou muttered.
"Do you think that the disciple of Maoshan is what you want to do?" Zhuge Lei stopped, took out the golden short sword from his waist, placed it flat in his palm, and stared silently.
Hao Jiyou was surprised, and also stretched out his head to look at the short sword.
Under the moonlight, I saw the short sword tremble slightly, and then it turned half a circle like a compass, and the tip of the sword pointed due south!
"Go south!" Zhuge Lei put away his short sword, adjusted his direction, and chased south.
Hao Jiyou was curious and admired, followed by Zhuge Lei, and asked in a low voice: "Zhuge Daxia, your short sword is so magical, is it a magic weapon of the Maoshan faction?" What's its name? Ghost Slaying Sword? Demon sword? ”
"You have so many words, were you suffocated to death by farts in your last life?" Zhuge Lei glared.
Hao Jiyou was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, didn't dare to ask again, followed Zhuge Lei, and just moved forward.
At this time, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, and the bright moon was slanting in the west, but it was still bright.
Zhuge Lei stopped and stopped, took out the short sword from time to time to correct the direction, and before he knew it, he had walked more than ten miles and came to the Longji Mountain in the south of the city.
Hao Jiyou walked sweating profusely and panting like a cow;
Zhuge Lei was calm and relaxed, as if he was strolling in a leisurely garden.
Hao Jiyou wiped the sweat on his head, propped his hands on his knees, bent over to breathe, and asked, "Zhuge Daxia, where are you taking me?" ”
Standing on the ridge, Zhuge Lei pointed to an ancient temple not far from the southern slope and asked, "There is a small temple there, what is the name?" ”
"That's the Cihang Temple in Longji Mountain, I've been here before. However, the temple is very small, the incense is not prosperous, there is only an old monk and a small novice, what is the old monk called...... Master of Wisdom! Hao Jiyou said.
"It turns out that this is Cihang Temple, and sure enough, Master Wuzhi has something to do with this matter." Zhuge Lei nodded slightly.
Hao Jiyou asked, "What do you say Master Wuzhi has to do with it?" ”
"It has something to do with Fang Xiaoqing, and it has something to do with the ghost king's marriage!" Zhuge Lei snorted, lowered his voice and said:
"After Fang Xiaoqing went crazy, Master Wuzhi came to see her. Master Wuzhi also said that this is the ghost king's marriage, so he suggested that Fang Xiaoqing recruit his son-in-law Chongxi...... In front of this ancient temple, the ghost aura is swirling in the cloudy wind, and it is really the unwise master who has a problem! If I'm not mistaken, all of this is directed by the master of unwisdom. ”
Hao Jiyou scratched his scalp and thought: "What does Zhuge Daxia mean...... The old monk of Wuzhi is a demon, and he framed Fang Xiaoqing? ”
Zhuge Lei nodded and continued to look at Cihang Temple under the moonlight.
Hao Jiyou frowned and said, "But Master Wuzhi is an old monk who has no quarrel with the world, why should he frame Fang Xiaoqing?" Could it be that he has a grudge against the Fang family? Or did the old monk move his heart and want to occupy Fang Xiaoqing as his wife? ”
"I don't know the specific reason, I just know if I ask the old monk Wuzhi!" Zhuge Lei lowered his voice and said: "This Cihang Temple is a place to raise ghosts, it is very dangerous, you follow me, don't run around, otherwise you will have to worry about your life!" ”
Hao Jiyou stuck out his tongue in fright: "So powerful? I'll follow you. ”
Zhuge Lei raised his feet and walked to the ancient temple, and said: "If you see something terrifying, or if a little ghost comes to catch you, you bite the tip of your tongue and spurt blood, don't worry about anything else." ”
Hao Jiyou nodded hurriedly: "I would have known this trick a long time ago, don't worry, my child's blood is very powerful." ”
As he spoke, Hao Jiyou bit his tongue, but he shivered in pain.
A few minutes later, Zhuge Lei took Hao Jiyou and stood in the woods behind the temple.
Although it is the height of summer, standing here, it is extremely cold, and it seems to be a late autumn climate.
Zhuge Lei looked around behind the temple and took Hao Jiyou straight to the front of the temple.
The ancient temple is like a quadrangle, the front hall has only three rooms, and the temple gate is not very large, which looks very dilapidated.
It's just very strange that there are dozens of steps in front of the temple gate, paved with bluestone, all the way up, like a ladder.
Zhuge Lei stood outside the steps of the temple gate and said to Hao Jiyou: "Go up and call the door!" ”
"Okay!" Hao Jiyou had Zhuge Lei's courage and was not afraid, tightened his belt, stepped on the steps in front of the temple with his head held high, and was about to knock.
Then at this moment, there was a sound of bones on the ridge of the roof, and a colorful shadow rolled down from the roof tile and smashed on Hao Jiyou's head!
"Ouch!" Hao Jiyou was smashed into a daze, fell to the ground with a thud, planted onions all the way, rolled back from the steps, and stopped at Zhuge Lei's feet.
"Hee-hee-......" The thing that fell from the roof tile also grinned, and with a flick on the spot, it was already standing up, but it was a little girl about three years old.
The little girl was covered in flour and white, with braids in the sky, and wore a fat, saffron and green cotton jacket, so she looked colorful.
She was an innocent age, and she was dressed festively, but this little girl's appearance was not cute at all, with a smile on her face, her eyes were vicious, and she was indescribably evil and weird.
