Chapter III. Hyakki Wall (3)
The winter wind slashed across my face like a sharp knife, and I leaned into the soft arms of the woman in the white dress, greedily sniffing the lightly scented hair, a scene that reminded me of last night's dream. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sister, what's your name?" I looked at the cheeks of the beautiful girl, and my heart was as nervous as a deer.
The girl looked at me with a beautiful smile, her pale pink lips slightly open, and said her name: Moon Dance.
At this time, the golden light suddenly attacked my eyes, and we successfully rushed into the gap in the sky with our flying sword, and the dazzling golden light like the sun made me have to close my eyes, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself standing in the familiar fireworks alley, but at this time, the doors of every house in the fireworks alley were closed, and there was no figure in the alley.
"Hurry, Le Yannian won't last long!" Moon Dance took my hand and ran quickly towards the tea house, came to the front of the tea house, through the glass door saw my grandfather Le Yannian was sitting at the tea table, in front of him sat a person wearing a white robe and a hood, the two were holding their respective teacups together, and I found that the tea in the teacups of the two was constantly turning, forming a small vortex in the center of the teacup.
The old lady saw that Moon Dance had brought me to the door, and smiled at the person in front of him, "They are back, your wall of hundred ghosts has been broken, and you have lost."
The white-robed man nodded slightly, withdrew the hand that was clinking glasses with the old lady, and the small whirlpool in the cups of the two disappeared.
"Since you have lost, you have to listen to me, leave this place quickly, and never come back!" Seeing that the other party had withdrawn his hand, the old lady suddenly said sharply to the white-robed man in front of him.
The white-robed man let out a goosebump-inducing laugh, and then said in an extremely hoarse voice, "If it weren't for the Moon Dance Sword again, you would definitely lose today, and you would definitely lose today, and if you win, I promise you that you will never come to this small city again, but is it worth it for you to do this?" ”
The white-robed man put a piece of gold on the table and slowly got up, looked at the old lady and asked again, "Is it worth it to bear such a great price for the sake of the strangers in this city?" ”。
The old lady did not answer, but stretched out his hand to the other party and made a gesture to send off the guest, and said lightly, "Thank you for your patronage."
The white-robed man nodded at the old lady, then turned around and floated away from the tea house, as soon as he turned around, I found that he was wearing a mask with a weird smile under his hood, a pair of eyes sharper than eagle eyes hidden behind the mask, those sharp eyes searched for my gaze, and after accidentally glancing at him, I quickly avoided my gaze as if I was electrocuted, and the aura he exuded made people feel extremely afraid, when he came to me, if it wasn't for the moon dance pulling me, I almost knelt on the ground under his domineering coercion.
The white-robed man came to Moon Dance, and the two looked at each other vigilantly for a while before nodding to each other as a greeting, and then the white-robed man turned to leave, quickly disappearing into the depths of the alley.
Seeing that the white-robed man had left, the old lady sighed, his head drooped down weakly, his body began to tilt, and the teacup that had been tightly pinched in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, seeing that the old lady was about to fall from the chair, Moon Dance rushed forward to help him up, and when the old lady looked up again, his originally red face was as white as if blood had been drained, his lips were purple, sweating, and the whole person looked like he had no strength at all.
"Grandpa, how are you!" I rushed up to him and helped him.
Seeing that I was safe and sound, the old lady showed a relieved smile, "You're okay... Just ...... It's okay."
He wanted to raise his hand to touch my head, but found that he couldn't use any strength when he raised his hand halfway, and in desperation, his half-raised hand fell weightlessly on his leg, Moon Dance quickly held down the pulse on the old lady's wrist to check his body, and after a few seconds, Moon Dance put down his wrist and said softly, "Your body is very weak, but fortunately, your life is safe."
The old lady laughed proudly when she heard Moon Dance's words, "I am also the only mortal who survived against the Mourning Door God, but the price paid is a bit big, my body has been severely damaged, and I can't recover if I don't cultivate for a year and a half, and my life span has been shortened by twenty years."
Hearing the old lady's words, I felt as if I was being caught, the old man is already sixty and seven this year, and he can still last a few days if he loses his life for 20 years!
"Grandpa, don't die, I can't bear to let you go, don't leave me alone!" I felt so uncomfortable that my nose was sore, and I hugged the old lady's arm tightly and cried.
"Little bastard, what do you say!" When the old lady heard my words, she wanted to hit me on the head angrily, but her whole body was weak, and she couldn't lift her hand, so she could only give me an angry look with her cloudy eyes.
"Who said I was dying!" The old man looked at me angrily.
"Didn't you say that your life will be reduced by 20 years, so how long can you live!" I looked at the old lady with teary eyes, and grabbed his sleeves with both hands, for fear that he would leave me and go away.
"I often provide tea to the ghosts of the underworld, so the underworld also gives me a discount, adding a few years to my lifespan in the book of life and death, I originally had a hundred and twenty-two years old yang life, this time it has been shortened by twenty years, and I can still live to be one hundred and two years old" The old lady looked at me proudly, how did that look like a provocation to me!
I angrily threw his arm aside, "One hundred and two, you live longer than me!" If you really live to one hundred and twenty-two, you will wait to be pulled away by the hospital for autopsy research! ”
After all, I was still glad for the old lady's safety, I carried him back to his hut with Moon Dance, and I walked into his house for the first time in my memory, the room that once made me feel very mysterious was actually just a small room, and the most eye-catching thing in the room was a tall bookcase, a bookcase full of thread-bound books that exuded a faint scent of ink, and the other was a scabbard hung on the wall with precious stones.
After carrying the old lady to the bed, I couldn't help but open the conversation, there are too many strange things I encountered today, why did I encounter a hundred ghost walls at the door of my house, where is that god of mourning, and who is the beautiful moon dance next to me?
I told the old lady all my questions, and he and Moon Dance looked at each other and smiled, and then told me the reason.
First of all, let's talk about the white-robed man who touched the teacup with my grandfather in the tea house, that guy has a chilling name - the god of mourning, the legend of the god of mourning is a kind of ferocity in the underworld, where he goes, he will bring disaster wherever he goes, a few days ago, the old lady noticed that the figure of the god of mourning appeared near the small county where we are, and he wanted to drive the god of mourning away from Fuyun County.
I gave the old man a thumbs up, "Grandpa, you are awesome, you dare to kill the god alone!" ”
The old lady laughed, "What's the matter, because of my identity as a post officer, even if the god of mourning sees me, he will also give three thin noodles!" ”
"What is a post officer?" I looked curiously at the two people in front of me.
The old lady sighed, "It's time for you to know"
After the old man told me the secret of the Tongling Tea House, it turned out that our Tongling Tea House in addition to trading tea with people, demons, ghosts, and immortals, it is also one of the key sites to communicate the two worlds of Zhongzhou and Qingzhou, this kind of site is an important place for the two worlds to communicate with each other, and the people in charge of the post shop are called post officials by the Yin and Yang Dao.
"You said before that most of the tea in the store is imported from Cheongju, so how do we connect with Cheongju?" I asked curiously.
The old lady nodded to Moon Dance, Moon Dance waved her hand, and the white ribbon tied behind her flew to a mottled wall, the long ribbon was like a white snake along the edge of the wall to wrap the wall in a circle, as Moon Dance chanted the mantra, the wall surrounded by ribbons emitted a brilliant brilliance, the brilliance dissipated, and a green mountain hidden behind the white clouds appeared in front of my eyes!
I walked out of the wall curiously, greedily breathing in the fresh air, feeling the scent of the earth, and the roar of the waterfall in my ears, and looking back, the entrance to my house was embedded in a mountain wall, and not far away a silver waterfall poured down from the top.
I paused outside for a long time before walking back into the house with a look of astonishment.
"This, this, this is ......" I pointed to the strange world behind me and looked back at the old lady
The old lady nodded at me, "That ribbon is called Wu Gang's Ring, which is a treasure that connects the world of Cheongju, and the world in front of you is the legendary Cheongju, a world where immortal cultivators and countless demons and monsters are mixed, and it is also the origin of many spiritual teas in our store."
Moon Dance waved her hand again, and the ring of Wu Gang that surrounded the wall flew back into her hand, and the world in front of me instantly changed back to the old wall.
"Who the hell is Moon Dance?" I pointed to the beautiful woman next to the old lady and asked, who this mysterious woman is, which makes me full of curiosity.
"If I just rely on the identity of the post officer, I don't dare to have a showdown with the Mourning Door God, the reason why I have the certainty of defeating him is all because of the Moon Dance Sword!" The old lady said, pointing to the scabbard hanging on the wall.
"Moon Dance..... Sword?" I looked at Moondance, and then at the scabbard hanging on the wall.
Moon Dance brought the flying sword that had been pinched in his hand to my eyes, "That's right, I am the sword spirit of this fairy sword, and the scabbard is my home."
The old lady added, "The legend of the Moon Dance Sword is a fairy sword from Cheongju, the power is endless, and its sword spirit can also be incarnated into the image of a girl, the ancestor of our old Le family is a profound immortal cultivator, and the Moon Dance Sword is his old man's sword, after the death of the old ancestor Immortal, this sword has been passed down as a family heirloom."
"In order to be able to concentrate on fighting with us, the god of mourning put up a hundred ghost walls outside the tea house to prevent outsiders from disturbing, originally I and your grandfather had the upper hand in the fighting method of the god of mourning, but because you strayed into the wall of the hundred ghosts, your life was in danger, in desperation, I could only quickly go to save you, let your grandfather fight against the god of mourning alone, fortunately your grandfather insisted until we rushed back, and the god of mourning saw that there was no hope of winning and took the initiative to admit defeat and leave"
After Yue Wu explained to me, she looked at the old lady with a worried face, "Le Yannian, you can't get out of bed in a short time, what are you going to do with this shop, close down?" ”
The old lady smiled slightly: "If we don't do business, what will we eat and drink?" I'm old, it's time to retire, and let this kid Lotte take over my shift in the future."
After speaking, the old lady tried her best to put her hand on Yue Wu's hand, "Please train this kid well and make him a qualified post officer!" ”
"I know, and besides, don't try to take advantage of me!" Moon Dance unceremoniously shook off the old lady's dishonest hand.
Looking at the Moon Dance, which was exactly the same as in the dream, I came to Moon Dance curiously and whispered in her ear, "Sister Moon Dance, have we met before?" ”
Moon Dance pouted and rolled her eyes, recalling for a long time and saying, "I rarely appear in human form, you should see me for the first time today."
Strange, then why did I see Moon Dance in my dreams?
On the first day of the final exams, I changed from an ordinary high school student to a legendary post official who respected both yin and yang, and from today on, I officially stepped into another world of demons and ghosts.
