Chapter 14: The God of the Mountains

The female ghost in Xia Beifeng's arms raised her head the moment she heard the wolf howl, and nervously turned back to the one-eyed child standing in the rain.

The child was still standing in the rain in confusion, but he no longer kept calling "Mommy", but looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, as if thinking about something.

The female ghost grabbed Xia Beifeng's hand and put the letter she had been holding in her hand in Xia Beifeng's hand.

"Get it for me." After she handed the letter to Xia Beifeng, she shook his wrist vigorously, stared at his face without blinking, and solemnly instructed him: "You must be careful, don't break it, I'll come back to get it later." ”

Xia Beifeng also nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

The female ghost let go of her hand, took a step back, and reluctantly glanced at the letter in Xia Beifeng's hand before turning around.

She took a step forward and appeared directly next to the one-eyed child, crouched down and reached out to touch his head.

"Mommy is here, don't be afraid." The female ghost gently squatted down and whispered to the child, "Don't worry. Mommy is here, don't cry. ”

The child fell silent again when he came into contact with the female ghost. He nodded vigorously, grabbed the hand of the female ghost in red, put it on his face, and kept rubbing it.

Xia Beifeng looked down at his wrist, and there was a bruise on his wrist. He tried to move his wrist, but with a slight movement, he immediately felt a piercing pain, and he had to give up.

The rain was still falling, and it was getting darker again.

Out of nowhere, another wolf howl sounded closer than it had just been.

The child who was originally leaning on the female ghost and spoiled was stunned when he heard the wolf howl, and seemed to be a little puzzled and wanted to look back in the direction from which the wolf howl came.

"Baby, Mommy is here." The female ghost stretched out a hand and hugged the child, patted him on the back soothingly, and gently hummed a song to coax the child.

The child's originally restless mood gradually calmed down, and he hugged the female ghost's arm again.

It's like a real mother and son.

But the wolves clearly refused to give up, and when the first wolf howl was completely gone, another wolf began to bark.

This time the voice seemed to be closer.

Xia Beifeng reached out and pressed his injured shoulder, and sensitively took two steps back.

The howls of wolves rang out outside the gate of the house, and the wolves were not far away.

When the child heard the sound of the wolves, he seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and he reached out and pushed away the red-clothed female ghost who was holding him, and nodded back in the direction of the door.

The two vermilion gates immediately fell to the ground, and seven or eight wolves rushed into the courtyard and surrounded the female ghost standing in the rain.

Xia Beifeng picked up his things and retreated into the house.

He wanted to take the time to run out while the female ghost was fighting with the mountain god, but when he was packing up, he accidentally saw the old lady lying on the bed, and he wanted to change his mind.

The old lady was sleeping on the bed at this time, breathing steadily, and looking in good condition. There was even a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know what she dreamed of.

Xia Beifeng looked at the old lady hesitantly for a long time, and finally put down his backpack, took out a folding shovel from it and put it together.

When he returned to the door of the room, the rain seemed to be heavier than it had just fallen, and the courtyard at the door was much more lively than before.

In addition to the wolves who had just entered through the gate, there were more than a dozen people.

The wolves surrounded the female ghost, whining something. And the crowd was scattered in the courtyard in twos and threes, standing there with dull eyes, and they didn't know what they were here for.

Xia Beifeng stood at the door of the room and raised the shovel in his hand.

The one-eyed child turned his head to look at Xia Beifeng, smiled contemptuously, and continued to stare at the female ghost in red.

Xia Beifeng looked at the rain in a daze with the mountain god and the female ghost, but suddenly felt something in his trouser pocket move a few times, he was startled at first, and then remembered that there seemed to be something inside.

He fumbled in his trouser pocket for a moment and pulled out a bronze mirror. I looked down and saw that the ghost Taoist Yun Qingzi appeared in the mirror at some point.

"I'll go, what the fuck is going on!" As soon as the ghost Taoist priest was taken out by Xia Beifeng, he screamed in shock, and the posture of Wen Crepe who claimed to be poor Dao had disappeared without a trace at some point.

"That mountain god and the female ghost in this house are going to fight." Xia Beifeng explained to him and continued to look up at the situation in the courtyard.

The head wolf, who was beaten twice by Xia Beifeng last night, was baring his teeth, bowing down and staring at the female ghost standing in the middle of the wolves, as if he was waiting very impatiently.

The other wolves also looked ready to move, looking like they could pounce on the female ghost at any time.

"Mountain God!" The ghost Taoist exclaimed in surprise, tilted his head left and right to look around, and kept asking, "Lord Mountain God, where is he?" ”

"Just that little wolf cub......" Before Xia Beifeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the ghost Taoist.

"Great, the mountain god lord has finally come out to clean up this harmful female ghost! I'll just say, this female ghost is ...... What did you just say? The ghost Taoist priest himself was excited for a while before he realized the meaning of Xia Beifeng's words just now, and immediately coaxed again, "According to what you say, this female ghost is so powerful, even the mountain god can't deal with her!" ”

"It didn't work before, but maybe today." Xia Beifeng looked at the rain in the yard, and glanced at the female ghost with a little worry.

The boy seemed to be impatient to wait, and as soon as he whistled, the wolves got up and pounced on the female ghost.

"Ah......" The ghost Taoist priest immediately exclaimed, "Amazing! ”

"No, you." Xia Beifeng didn't dare to agree with this ghost Taoist priest's statement, and asked curiously, "This Daoist, you can even clean up the drought fish, do you make such a fuss when you see a mountain god?" ”

The ghost Taoist priest immediately shut up, put on an unfathomable expression, and nodded reservedly towards Xia Beifeng.

"Or rather, the drought is actually not at all." Xia Beifeng teased the ghost Taoist.

"How can you be a junior who spews blood, of course Poor Dao has really seen a drought!" The ghostly beard blew his beard and stared, "It's just that the night was too dark to see very clearly." ”

The wolves that pounced on the female ghost didn't do anything to the female ghost. The female ghost just raised her hand and waved her sleeve, and the wolves fell out one after another, struggling on the ground one by one.

The female ghost lifted her chin proudly and shook her head at the child.

"Hmph, a bunch of trash." The kid glared fiercely at the head wolf lying on the ground, turned his head to look at Xia Beifeng, and asked him, "This Dao Chief, are you really going to stand there like this and see the bottom?" ”

Xia Beifeng raised the shovel and smiled at him.

"Lord Mountain God, don't worry about this kid. This female ghost has been on the side of the disaster for hundreds of years, and today I finally have a chance to clean her up, and let me help you! The ghost Taoist priest shouted excitedly at the mountain god, and did not forget to tell Xia Beifeng: "Although someone helped me destroy the drought, I really cured those children who lost their souls." As for people like you who are afraid of even a female ghost, the poor road disdains you to be in company. ”

"Oh." Xia Beifeng calmly agreed, raised the mirror and shouted to the mountain god: "I said the child over there, do you dare to agree if I call you?" ”

The female ghost and the mountain god, who were originally in a tense confrontation, glanced at Xia Beifeng at this time, and their eyes were full of surprise.

They must have thought I was insane. Xia Beifeng thought to himself.

"Lord Mountain God, this Taoist leader wants to follow you to get rid of ghosts, although he doesn't have any skills, but you can just take it with you." Xia Beifeng smiled and shook the mirror in his hand at the mountain god, and then raised his hand and threw the mirror at him.

The mirror flew over with a "whoosh", extremely fast, completely unaffected by the heavy rain, and when it fell, it smashed into the face of the mountain god, making a dull crashing sound.

The bronze mirror slowly slipped off the face of the mountain god and fell to the ground, revealing the iron blue face of the mountain god.

Xia Beifeng waved his hand at the mountain god very proudly, propped the shovel on the ground, and continued to watch the play.

The gaze of the mountain god swam around the fingertips of Xia Beifeng and the female ghost in red a few times, and suddenly smiled.

"I'll kill this kid first, and then I'll clean you up." The mountain god said and pointed to Xia Beifeng, who was standing at the door of the room, his eyes flashed with a vicious light, and said to the female ghost: "What do you think he would say about you if he saw your Mr. Shen Nian Shen below?" ”

The female ghost looked back at Xia Beifeng, who was all rightβ€”mainly the letter he held in his hand, and her eyes were full of worry.

"He will say that you have become a demon, seducing past men as your slaves, trapping this Jiang family from reincarnating." The mountain god shouted loudly at the female ghost, "You have become an evil ghost!" ”

"Lord Mountain God, clean up this evil spirit!" The ghost Taoist priest fell to the ground, but he didn't forget to make a fool of himself.

Only then did the mountain god notice the bronze mirror under his feet, he glanced at the ghost Taoist priest, flew up, and kicked the bronze mirror far away.

"Tsk." Xia Beifeng shook his head, "That thing is actually pretty good, this mountain god master, you can really waste things." ”

The mountain god raised his hand and pointed at Xia Beifeng, and the wolf in the courtyard that had just recovered rushed towards Xia Beifeng.

Seeing this, Xia Beifeng immediately took a step back, waved the shovel sideways at will, and directly slapped the head wolf that flew away.

It looked like you were playing golf.

Xia Beifeng's attention was originally focused on the wolf, and when he was watching the wolf fall to the ground in embarrassment, he wanted to laugh, but suddenly he had a sense of vigilance.

Dangerous!

Instinctively, he took another half step back, holding the shovel across his chest while kicking him hard to the side.

This kick hit a hard thing, which shook Xia Beifeng's legs a little numb, but with his own feelings, he should have kicked that thing out.

He turned his head to look and saw that the middle-aged man who had taken the lead at the dinner last night was lying on the ground, his arms bent at a strange angle, desperately trying to stand up like pain.

The female ghost in red suddenly let out a terrible howl, and her voice sounded very angry and sad, as if she didn't want to live anymore...... Although she was already dead.

Xia Beifeng realized that the stack of letter paper in his hand had just been pulled by the middle-aged man. When he kicked the man away, the pile of letterpaper was scattered all over the ground, and it was quickly soaked by the rain, and the ink soon smudged on the paper, and the muddy water made the pile of letterpaper look dirty.

That's what I'm looking for!

Xia Beifeng looked at the letter paper on the ground speechlessly, and he really couldn't understand the brain circuit of this mountain god.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect it! The mountain god laughed a few times in a strange voice, and said proudly to the female ghost: "Didn't you expect that the slave you raised had an idea of his own and betrayed you." ”

However, the female ghost's attention was now all attracted by the spilled letter paper on the ground, which made the mountain god's ridicule completely useless.

Xia Beifeng watched the female ghost squatting on the ground, trying to pick up the already soaked letterhead, and suddenly felt a little uneasy about his conscience.

If she knew that I wrote this letter today, would she be angry and want to kill me?

And it's just a few words, as for it, girl!

Xia Beifeng looked at the female ghost sympathetically while crying and picking up the letter on the ground. The letter paper was already thin, and it was even more fragile when it was stained with water, and the female ghost tore the letter paper with a little force.

Then she cried even harder.

The mountain god snorted indifferently and beckoned to the wolves on the side.

Several wolves ran happily around the mountain god. They were like a couple of domestic wolfdogs, licking the child's face and wagging their tails all the time.

The female ghost cried for a while, and finally remembered the person who started it all. She screamed loudly again and rushed at the mountain god.

Unexpectedly, she fell directly to the ground the moment she raised her legs, as if something was tripping her under her feet.

But in reality, her feet were empty, and there was nothing but standing water.

The female ghost got up, took another step forward, and sure enough, she tripped again.

"What is this?" She looked at the mountain god in amazement, completely unable to understand what the mountain god had done.

The mountain god snorted coldly again, turned his head triumphantly, and never looked at her again.

The female ghost struggled on the ground for a while, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even stand up gradually, so she turned her head and looked at Xia Beifeng pleadingly.

What's my business! I'm just a good person, what can I do, hey!

Xia Beifeng felt that he couldn't understand what this female ghost was thinking.

Having said that, in fact, he really saw some clues.

If according to Xia Beifeng's idea, let this female ghost and the mountain god eat dog directly, he doesn't care much about who dies and who lives in the end.

It's just that looking at the current situation, it seems that it is more advantageous to stand on the side of this female ghost?

Xia Beifeng looked at the female ghost rolling on the ground, she seemed to be very uncomfortable, and when she looked at her clothes, she seemed to have something wrapped around her body.

But no matter how much the female ghost struggled, there was no sign of her disappearing. Not only that, but it seemed that the thing was getting tighter and tighter, and there were already traces of strings on her clothes.

Let's help.

Xia Beifeng thought so, so he secretly took out a copper coin from his pocket and flicked it out.

The copper coin was extremely small, and after being ejected, it flew straight for a few meters before falling to the ground.

Only the faint sound of raindrops falling in the air sounded as if some rope had been broken.

The living dead who were swaying in the courtyard in twos and threes fell for some reason.

The mountain god looked back at Xia Beifeng in shock.

"This Dao Master, it's not good for you to do this." The mountain god bent down at Xia Beifeng, and his expression was very respectful, "If you don't want to interfere, just watch from the sidelines, why do you want to help this female ghost now." ”

"Lao Tzu is happy." Xia Beifeng replied without hesitation.

Hearing this, the mountain god narrowed his only remaining eye and smiled at Xia Beifeng.

"Since Dao Chief, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, don't blame me for being unkind."
