"I was originally a Taoist priest who walked the rivers and lakes to kill demons and eliminate demons, and I traveled all over the country, and I didn't know how much monsters I had removed. I have gone into the mountains to collect the thousand-year-old fox demon who went down the mountain to suck people's yang energy every night, and I also went into the sea to teach the dragon king who caused wind and waves and harmed people's lives, but there is nothing to do today, and the story is too long to tell, so I will tell you a story about my fighting drought and saving the people. ”

"I still remember that year, the summer was too hot, and I went to the north to escape the heat. On the way, we passed through a village where there had been no rain for three years, and many people died of hunger and thirst. When I was just passing by the village, the old people in the village saw me and took the whole village to their knees and begged me to help them. When I saw that they were pitiful, I opened an altar in that village to ask for rain from heaven. “

"The altar was set up for seven days, and the sun was shining every day, and it was going to roast a person to death, and there was not a single rain cloud. I thought to myself that this is not right, I have always been good friends with the gods of the heavenly rain, and there is no shortage of offerings during the New Year's holidays, why is it not working this time? And then I pinched my fingers and guess what? ”

When the ghost Taoist priest in the mirror said this, he suddenly slammed the mirror hard without knowing what to think. The tiny mirror slammed on the tabletop with a "snap" sound. The ghost priest actually stayed in the mirror by himself, creating the sound effect of waking up wood when telling a story. Shake the summer north wind to a spirit.

Then I heard the ghost Taoist priest Yun Qingzi continue: "It turns out that there is a drought in the mass grave at the west end of this village! I didn't want to deal with the Dryfish, and you know, even if that thing became a zombie, I didn't bother to take it. But the people in that village were so pitiful that I decided to make an exception to help them. ”

"I prepared my weapons and went to stay in that mass grave for the night. That night, suddenly there was a strong wind, dark clouds covered the moon, and crows crowed. I got up and looked, and sure enough, it was the drought. The dartfish was more than eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a green face and red fangs and red eyes, and the nails on his hands were more than a foot long, like a knife, sharpening iron like clay. The creatures in the mass grave had long since run out, and I was the only one there, and the drought came straight at me, and along the way he encountered stones and stones, and when he came to me, half of the mass grave was pears by him. ”

"When I saw it, I said in my heart that it was a good time! So he lifted my peachwood sword, stepped on his feet, and thrust it into the chest of the drought. Who knew that the body of the drought was as strong as steel, and it was invulnerable. I tried to immobilize him with my rune, but the dartle was no longer afraid of the ordinary zombie runes, and continued to grab at me, almost tearing me apart. Luckily, I was able to dodge it in time. ”

"That dartfish is not stupid, I fought him for three days and three nights before I got a chance to trick him into the trap I had prepared in advance. The trap was full of oil sold by foreigners, slippery and greasy, and the dartfish could not climb up when they fell into it, so I lit the trap and burned it for seven days and seven nights before the drought. ”

"The drought fish howled every day before he died, and several children in the village were lost in fear, but I found them. The people in the village regarded me as a great benefactor, and sent me out of the village on three kneels and nine knocks, and gave me all the food left behind as a thank you gift. I didn't care about these false courtesies, but they insisted on stuffing them into me, and I couldn't shirk them, so I brought them with me as rations...... This little Taoist friend, looking at your young age, you should have just walked the rivers and lakes not long ago, have you ever seen a drought? ”

The Taoist priest in the mirror was not tired, and he was very excited to say such a lot of words in one breath, only to remember that there was a Xia Beifeng next to him.

"I've seen it, but it's not as scary as you say, I sleep in the basement all day, and I can only wake up once in more than ten years. When I woke up, I went to sleep again for two or three days, but when I woke up, I could eat a live cow and two live pigs at a meal, and they all had to be alive and fresh, and it was too fucking expensive to raise. Xia Bei continued to play with his mobile phone without raising his head, and answered the ghost Taoist priest's question very casually.

The Taoist priest immediately shut up.

"I think." Xia Beifeng put down his mobile phone, picked up the mirror, and met the ghost Taoist priest in the mirror, "You are quite suitable for storytelling, have you considered changing your career?" ”

"Hehe, little Taoist friend, you really know how to joke!" The Taoist priest snorted and turned his head to the side, not looking at Xia Beifeng's eyes.

"You killed that darthorn, didn't you dig up the inner dan of that thing?" Xia Beifeng seemed to be interested, and began to ask, "I heard that the Inner Dan of the Drought Fish is of great benefit to cultivators, if you eat it, you should be immortal, and your body is not bad, how can you die in such a place?" ”

"Ah, of course I ate, and this fold is here, and it's only because of this...... This ......" The Taoist priest in the mirror turned his head left and right, but he never looked at Xia Beifeng's face, and he struggled for a long time before he came up with a sentence: "Because the monster here is too insidious, it attacked from behind, and the poor road didn't notice it for a while, and it was plotted by the beast that it ended up like this!" ”

But the drought is a dead thing, and there is no inner dan to dig at all! Xia Beifeng looked at the mirror helplessly and sighed.

"Ahh

"What does that monster look like?" Xia Beifeng finally began to ask like the ghost Taoist.

Although the ghost Taoist priest didn't need to breathe for a long time, he also breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, and then as if he remembered something, he continued to "uh-huh-ahhh

"What the hell does it look like?" Xia Beifeng urged a little impatiently, "At least let me know what it is first, so that I can be prepared!" How can I help you if you don't say it? ”。

The ghost Taoist priest closed his eyes and whispered, "I didn't see it." ”

Xia Beifeng: "......"

Don't you even be able to extinguish the drought, why did you plant them without even seeing what the other party looked like?

"We'll talk about that later." After a while, the ghost Taoist priest opened his eyes again, and made a very polite gesture to Xia Beifeng, pleading: "Anyway, fellow Daoist, can you help me first and find my body?" ”

"Hmm......" Xia Beifeng seemed to be pondering something.

The ghost Taoist priest once again felt that his heart had risen to his throat.

"I'll help you, is it any good?" Xia Beifeng whetted the appetite of the ghost Taoist priest before suddenly asking him with a smile.

"Didn't Daoyou take this mirror?" The ghost Taoist priest's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, and he looked at Xia Beifeng in disbelief, "Isn't this mirror enough?" ”

"Of course it's not enough, it's just such a broken mirror, and the ones hanging on the door of my house are better than this." Xia Beifeng threw the mirror back on the table in disgust, crossed his arms and legs, leaned on the chair, and looked at the ghost Taoist Yun Qingzi in the mirror like an uncle, "Let's not come to the void now, do you have any good things worth my trip." But seeing that you are so poor, the gold and silver treasures are probably gone, so I will not embarrass you, and give me anything useful. ”

"This and this...... The poor Dao is really very poor, I'm afraid there is nothing that the Taoist friend can look at......" The ghost Taoist hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, and said quickly like a broken jar: "The poor Dao corpse should carry a few fortune-telling copper coins, as well as a peachwood sword, all of which are things that can be met but not sought, if the Taoist friend does not dislike it, take them all." ”

"Don't." Xia Beifeng answered him without thinking, then buttoned down the mirror again, picked up the mobile phone and continued to play the game.

"Go find your corpse yourself."

The mirror began to tremble again on the table, but Xia Beifeng ignored him and concentrated on playing the game.

The ghost Taoist priest tossed around for a while, and found that Xia Beifeng was still indifferent, and finally became honest.

The room was silent for a moment, except for the sound of Xia Beifeng's breathing and the sound of him tapping the screen of his phone.

When Xia Beifeng finished playing another game, stretched his waist and yawned, the ghost Taoist priest in the mirror seemed to have finally figured it out, and said to Xia Beifeng again: "I still have a plate from the Yongle period, if you don't dislike it, take it together, I didn't take it with me, so I hid him in the vase in the corner!" ”

"Oh."

When Xia Beifeng heard this, he stood up and went to the corner of the wall to shake the two vases standing there. After hearing the crashing sound coming from one of the vases, he shook it upside down a few times. Sure enough, a compass fell out of it.

I don't know how many years the compass has been used, and it has been polished to a shiny finish, and even the small words on it are about to be smoothed out.

A good thing indeed.

Xia Beifeng took the compass in his hand and looked at it repeatedly for a while before putting it in his bag.

"Alas...... Actually, I don't usually use a compass much, and you're pretty average, and it's not worth a lot of money at all. Xia Beifeng walked to the table again, faced the mirror, and said to the ghost Taoist priest in the mirror with great embarrassment: "But for your sake, I will reluctantly help you once." Where is your body? I'll dig it up for you tomorrow. ”

"Fellow Daoist, have you finally agreed!" When the ghost Taoist priest heard this, he was so moved that he immediately wanted to cry, but after a short while, he urgently urged Xia Beifeng: "The corpse of the poor Dao should be in a corner of the backyard of this house, not far away. Fellow Daoist, if it's convenient for you, can you go now? ”

"I'm not comfortable right now." Xia Beifeng looked at the ghost Taoist priest in the mirror, opened his mouth and yawned again, looking like he was going to fall asleep at any time.

"I want to sleep now, if you don't have any particular reason, then go back tomorrow."

"Fellow Daoist, you have to think about it!" The ghost Taoist priest in the mirror saw that Xia Beifeng was about to sleep, and shouted to him loudly.

"I've thought about it, if it weren't for the urgency of 100,000 people, digging up corpses in the middle of the night would only be something that a nervous heart can do. I'm not insane, so I'm not going. Xia Beifeng smiled and waved his hand at the mirror and lay down on the bed.

"Good night."

"Fellow Daoist, listen to me." The ghost Taoist priest still didn't give up, and admonished Xia Beifeng bitterly: "This house is full of unjust ghosts, and there is only this time of the day, the most fierce ghost king, who wants to set up a stage to sing, and the people in this courtyard must listen to ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts." Now that they had gone to listen to the ghost king's singing, the rest of the house was empty, and it was okay to walk around. If we go to the backyard now, as long as we don't alarm them, it will be the easiest thing to do. ”

"Then if you alarm them, will you die?" Xia Beifeng squinted his eyes and stared at the embroidery pattern on the quilt, and asked the mirror casually.

"Uh......" The ghost priest in the mirror once again didn't know how to answer.

Xia Beifeng stretched out his hand and touched the quilt on the bed. The quilt is embroidered with delicate and complicated orchid patterns, which looks like it should be made by hand with a needle and thread, and the quilt is also a fine satin. If you take it out and sell it, it is estimated that it will be worth a lot of money.

"But......" Xia Beifeng shook off the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, spread the quilt on the bed, and opened his backpack, "If you think about it carefully, this thing seems to be a little interesting, so I'll reluctantly go for a trip." ”

He said as he pulled out a small pocket from his bag and poured out a pile of metal into it. Then the pile of things was spliced together a few times, and it formed a shovel more than a meter long.

"Let's go." Xia Beifeng said a word to the mirror, put it in his pocket, and opened the door of his room.

The courtyard was still quiet, only the shadows of the trees shimmering in the water. A woman's gentle singing voice was heard in the distance, and occasionally someone could be heard cheering loudly during the intermission, which seemed to be very lively.

Xia Beifeng stood at the door and distinguished the words of the play that the woman who was singing, and then closed his eyes and recalled the length of Su Sanqi's interpretation of the play, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's probably more than half an hour before the song is finished, and if you go to dig up a corpse now, it should be enough to come back quickly.

Xia Beifeng glanced up at the stars in the sky and took a deep breath. Shouldering the shovel, he walked briskly to the backyard.
