Chapter 1: Zhong Kui descends into the world

The scorching heat has passed, and it is early autumn, but the rain is still frequent.

It had just rained, and it was hazy between the mountains and the villages.

Compared with the unbearable heat of midsummer, the season at this time has a more cool feeling that belongs to early autumn.

During the reign of Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, in the Yueyang Building in Zhongnan Mountain Town, several scholars who had a good relationship were drinking and chatting with each other.

"The early autumn has arrived, and in two or three days, Brother Zhong Kui will have to go to Beijing to take the exam."

Several people sat at a table, and in the midst of the staggering, one of the scholars said this, and his words seemed to be full of admiration.

"Yes, this year's big exam is coming, this time with Brother Zhong Kui's great talent, needless to say, the Jinshi is the top three, and it is also known!"

Another scholar spoke, and his words were also full of admiration for Zhong Kui.

"Yes, Brother Zhong Kui can be called a great talent, erudite and talented, and he will be a pillar of the country in the future!"

Between the words, another scholar opened his mouth to praise.

"Hey, Du Ping, Zhang Rang, a few of you are very fancy, why don't I know when I became so rich and rich?"

In the face of the unhesitating praise of his companions, the scholar named Zhong Kui spoke, but he laughed and scolded between his words.

"Hehe, Brother Zhong Kui, don't be modest, your talent is unknown to outsiders, how can we not know?"

Laughing, another gentleman spoke.

Zhong Kui, the most famous and talented scholar in Zhongnan Town, is knowledgeable and upright. Be kind-hearted to your friends.

It's just a pity that his family is not poor. But his parents died young, and he has a younger sister at home.

And he was extremely learned. The appearance is iron-faced and bearded, and he has a fierce appearance, which has nothing to do with handsomeness at all, and can even be said to be extremely ugly.

Therefore, he is obviously full of talent, upright and resolute, and he is not young, but he has not yet had a marriage.

It's actually normal to think about it, but it's ugly. The family has no money, and there is a sister who drags oil bottles, although he has a little cultural knowledge, but before he is officially an official in the Jinshi, which family is willing to entrust his daughter to him?

Let his own daughter suffer with him?

In addition, he seems to know that his conditions are not good, and considering his sister, although he is growing up year by year, he has no idea of worrying about his marriage.

Instead. Watching his sister grow up day by day and gradually become a big girl, Zhong Kui thought about marrying his sister first.

For him, the best goal. Naturally, there were many scholars present who knew and knew him.

Of course, these are Zhong Kui's own private thoughts.

"That's right, Dupin. Will you take the big exam this fall? ”

It's like thinking of something. Zhong Kui put down his wine glass and looked at the one on the side who was completely different from him. The extremely handsome and dashing scholar asked.

His words came out, and the other people present also put down the wine glasses in their hands and looked at the scholar named Du Ping.

"No, my mother's health is not very good today, there is a way, my parents are here, not far away, this time I will not go to Beijing to catch the exam, stay next year, get ready, I will go to Beijing to catch the exam, my mother and my mother are also planning to do so."

Seeing that many scholars were looking at themselves, the scholar named Du Ping said.

"So, since your parents are planning for you, there's no way to do it, originally this year, I still wanted to go on the road with you."

Hearing Du Ping say this, Zhong Kui was a little regretful.

Among the scholars who knew him well, there were only three people who were going to go to Beijing to take the exam this year, including himself.

One of them had a serious illness because of the wind and cold, and although he had recently recovered, his body was weak and could not withstand the long journey.

After all, it is not a little bit of a journey from Zhongnan Mountain to Chang'an City, and along the way, if you don't have a strong physique, you can't cross thousands of mountains and rivers at all.

The other is Du Ping, but I didn't expect that Du Ping wouldn't go either, so he was the only one left.

"Hey, I originally wanted to go to Beijing with Brother Zhong Kui to take the exam, but a few of us didn't have enough knowledge, and we only had the share of Sun Shan."

"Mr. Qu of the Modou Study also asked us to study for another three years, waiting for the next opportunity, and now it seems that I am afraid that you are really the only one on the road alone, Brother Zhong Kui."

Shaking his head and sighing, one of the scholars said.

"It's a pity, originally, Wang Yunyun and Brother Du Ping and Brother Zhong Kui, the three of you are Mr. Qu believes that there is a hope for high school this year, but I didn't expect that Brother Wang was sick, and Brother Du couldn't leave because of his parents at home, it seems that this year, I can only see Brother Zhong Kui."

"Brother Zhong Kui, you see that the reputation of our ink dou study depends on you, don't let us down."

Laughing, a gentleman picked up the wine glass in his hand and gestured to Zhong Kui and the others.

"Don't worry, if I don't go this year, it's enough, if I go, I will definitely go to the high school heaven list, and make a name for this ink bucket study and Mr. Qu!"

Speaking of this, Zhong Kui's voice was also full of generosity and passion!

Life in the world, people live, for the small, get ahead, make a fortune, for the middle, make a name, the world's reputation, for the big, serve the country, and contribute to mankind.

Nothing more than that.

Zhong Kui reads hard every day and every night, for nothing more than these.

Mr. Qu of Modouzhai is a reclusive Confucian according to legend, but because he is above the court and disagrees with people's political opinions, he lives in seclusion in Zhongnan Town at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, teaching and educating people.

The old gentleman is old, but his greatest wish now is to carry forward this ink fountain study and teach other world-famous students.

As the proud son of Mr. Qu, Zhong Kui, who has always admired and respected Mr. Qu, has naturally always made up his mind that he must be on the list, and then go to the court to realize his unfulfilled ambitions!

It's his dream!

In a small way, he wants to earn a prestigious family for his sister. Let her marry a good family!

And these can only be achieved through the guò imperial examination!

"Then I wish Brother Zhong Kui the title of the gold list in Japan! My share and Brother Wang's share depend on you! ”

Speaking of which. Looking at Zhong Kui, Du Ping, who was sitting next to Zhong Kui, smiled heartily. Then he stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, saluted Zhong Kui, and then drank it all.

"Good! We all wish Brother Zhong Kui the title of the gold list! ”

Du Ping drank it all, and the other gentlemen at the table, including Zhong Kui, also stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank it all.

This moment. The scholars present looked at each other and smiled again, and a qiē seemed to be silent.

"Ten years of cold windows, it is really a great blessing in life to have these friends like this, when the float is a big white!!"

By Zhong Kui's side, Du Ping, who was holding a wine glass, thought so in his heart, and only felt righteous anger stirring in his chest!

But at this time, suddenly, he only felt an inexplicable shaking in front of him, and a feeling of dizziness suddenly came. Straight to the head!

"Phew!"

Subconsciously, Du Ping didn't even hold the wine glass in his hand steadily, and the glass fell directly from his hand to the ground and smashed it!

Then, in the shocked gaze of the others at the table. Du Ping's whole person shook twice, and then fell down directly!!

"Du Pin!!

"Brother Du!!"

"Brother Du!!"

One by one, eager voices suddenly erupted, and the whole person was dizzy. These voices rang in my ears, and then they were hazy. Du Ping only felt as if someone had caught him, an ugly and fierce one. A bearded face caught his eye.

"This is, Brother Zhong Kui, what's wrong with me"

Such a thought came to Dupin's mind, and then his consciousness passed out completely

When his consciousness regained control of his body, Du Ping opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a pair of eyes full of eagerness and worry.

"Ping'er, you're awake."

Her eyes were full of worry, and a noble lady with a graceful and luxurious face stepped forward.

Du Ping's memory began to flip, and he knew that this was "his own" mother, the only daughter of a wealthy merchant of the Xie clan in Hedong.

Without accosting him for the first time, he turned his head and looked to the side, and the impressive faces flashed in his memory, and Du Ping recognized almost all of these people at once.

Then he turned his head very weakly, looking at his "mother" who was almost in a hurry, Du Ping spoke in a very weak whisper,

"Mother, the child is fine, it is the child's fault that the mother and father are worried."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Looking at Du Ping's appearance, sitting on the edge of the bed, Du Ping's mother cried with joy all of a sudden.

The Du family has a big business, the master of the Du family, Du Fuwei is a Jinshi of Dezong for three years, and the official worship of the four products in his early years, although for some reasons, he has now lived in Zhongnan County for more than ten years, but those who know know that Du Fuwei has recently been biased in the imperial court, and has been mentioned many times by today's saints, he is very likely to make a comeback, and one step to the sky!

And Du Ping is the only son of the Du family!

Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, three wives and four concubines were very usual.

But Du Fuwei, the old man of the Du family, was poor in his early years, and although he had a literary name, he didn't even have the opportunity to enter Beijing to take the exam.

Fortunately, at that time, the wealthy businessman Xie in Hedong valued it, not only gave him a coil, but also gave him his precious only daughter Xu to marry.

Since then, Du Fuwei has secretly made up his mind in his heart that he will only take the daughter of the Xie family for the rest of his life, and he will be the same for the rest of his life.

And Du Ping's mother has always been the only one left, so he is the only son of the Du family!!

Unlike Zhong Kui, Du Ping has been rich and wealthy since he was a child.

Fortunately, Du Fuwei was poor in his family in the past, knew the difficulties of the poor, and also understood the importance of educating future generations, so he was quite strict with Du Ping since he was a child.

This kind of strict education has not made him a second generation who stretches out his hands in clothes and opens his mouth in food, but is humble and polite since he was a child, studies hard and seriously, and treats people and things very much.

has such a son, since three years ago, almost all the people who came to the Du family to propose marriage have broken the threshold of the Du family.

It's just a pity that Du Ping, the only son of the Du family, studied poetry and books hard and didn't seem to be in a hurry about family affairs, so he shirked it. So far, I haven't picked up any singles.

But now, consciousness is constantly turning over its own memories. "Du Ping" knew that "he" had actually always liked Zhong Kui's baby sister.

Although Zhong Kui looks very ugly. But his sister seems to be the opposite of him, she is born with a beautiful appearance and a moon appearance, and like Zhong Kui, she is very smart.

Not only that, but the poor life with her brother made her give birth to the gentle qualities of a good wife and mother.

In short, in Du Ping's eyes, Zhong Kui's sister Zhong Ling is simply a perfect fairy in the world.

Although all this time, he didn't say anything, and he was bitterly suppressed. But in my heart, I had already made up my mind that she would not marry or something.

"Is this an unrequited love affair? Zhong Kui's sister, didn't she say that she couldn't get married no matter what? How can there be an unrequited love here? ”

At this moment, such a thought popped up in Du Ping's mind, or rather, at this moment, Du Ping, who was lying on the bed, could no longer be said to be pure Du Ping.

The death horror game scene is just a testing ground for cultivating true reincarnations.

A true reincarnation mission. It is necessary for the reincarnated person to be truly reincarnated through the reincarnation tunnel!

Although Tan Xiaoxiao's cultivation is profound, and there is a special mark, which can be used to resist the mystery of the womb of fateful reincarnation, but after reincarnation. The main consciousness of talking and laughing still fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep is twenty-one years, until today. The consciousness of talking and laughing really woke up.

And the reincarnation of talking and laughing is naturally Du Ping!

"Zhong Kui married his sister. This time, the reincarnation mission is to reverse the cause and effect of Zhong Kui's siblings, according to the previous guidance of Horror Paradise. If you want to reverse cause and effect, you have to change their fate. ”

"There used to be a saying in the real world called the butterfly effect, logically speaking, I was reincarnated as Du Ping, no matter what, the wind and waves set off are naturally bigger than a butterfly."

"However, cause and effect are conserved, and if you want to change fate, cause and effect will prompt fate and self-correction, so it is not easy to change the fate of Zhong Kui's brothers and sisters and reverse their cause and effect."

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and after waking up, after confirming to his parents that he was in good health, Tanxiao finally got time to rest alone.

Then, as soon as he calmed down, he began to think about what he needed to do next.

"Luo Yue, Luo Yue?"

Lying on the bed, Tan Xiao suddenly shouted out to the door.

"I'm here, young master, what's the matter?"

Hearing the shouts of his young master, outside the door, a maid waiting there immediately pushed the door in.

"Luo Yue, you go find me Brother Zhong Kui, tell him that I'm fine, they are worried about me, I think after I fall into a coma, they should also send me back to the house."

Looking at his own delicate maid, he smiled and commanded her.

"Young man, you may not know that Young Master Zhong came to see you yesterday, and then he quit his journey to Beijing to take the exam."

Hearing the words of laughter, the maid Luo Yue thought about it, but replied like this.

"What? Zhong Kui has already entered Beijing to take the exam?! Damn, how many days have I been in a coma? ”

Subconsciously, Tan Xiao asked the maid Luo Yue in a lost voice.

"This, young master, you have been in a coma for a total of five days."

After thinking about it, the maid Luo Yue said.

"Five days!"

Suddenly hearing this answer, Tan Xiao's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

"No, Zhong Kui's fate is that after entering Beijing, he was the top student in high school, but because the emperor despised his appearance, he was angry in public, and killed himself, and then entered the underworld, and became a ghost who specializes in catching ghosts, and later he was named the god of exorcism and the master of catching ghosts."

"Zhong Ling's fate is that after the death of his brother, he guarded his brother's mausoleum, died of depression, and after his death, he committed a funeral door, hung the extreme yin, and was reincarnated eighteen times, but there was no way to reconcile yin and yang, and he married out, and finally the yin and yang declined, and the soul was scattered."

"If you want to change their fate, you must start by finding a way to stop Zhong Kui from killing himself!"

At this moment, thinking of this, I was a little anxious to talk and laugh.

After reincarnation, the consciousness is asleep, although now Su Hui has awakened, but his own Taoist cultivation has not been brought over, and now Du Ping, or talking and laughing, although he has the vision of an immortal, he does not have a little bit of power.

If you want to have a profound Taoism, you have to start cultivating all over again!

As for the eyes that once they enter Beijing, they will kill themselves immediately. Zhong Kui, who has embarked on the trajectory of fate, talks and laughs and re-cultivates. If you want to have a high level of cultivation, stop this qiē. Apparently it's too late.

"Damn it, it's just such a day! If I had woken up a day earlier, things wouldn't have been like this, and now it's going to be hard! ”

At this moment, talking and laughing also feels a little tricky.

"Do you want to set off to chase Zhong Kui quickly?"

Subconsciously, such thoughts pop up in the minds of talking and laughing.

But then, talking and laughing was negative.

Zhong Kui has already set off for a day, and now I am afraid that he has gone far away, in such an ancient time without communication equipment. With sparse populations and many wilderness mountain roads, it is impossible to chase a person.

"There's no way, if you don't change your plan, hurry up and hit the road now, find a way to reach Chang'an before Zhong Kui, and then find a way to find him!"

All kinds of thoughts flickered in my head, and I suddenly came up with such a solution.

This method sounds a bit stupid. And there are too many deviations from the plan that Tanxiao has just prepared, but it seems that so far, it can only be like this.

"Luo Yue. Go to my lord, madam, and say that I am in a coma, young master. I once had a book taught by an old man, and the old man taught me in a dream for three months. Tell me that I am the reincarnation of the heavenly wisdom and stars. This time, he came to wake me up, this time, if I take the big exam, I will definitely be able to go to high school! ”

After thinking about it, he hesitated slightly, and said to Luo Yue with a smile.

"What?! Young Master, you are in a coma this time because an immortal woke you up?!! ”

Suddenly hearing Tan Xiao say this, the maid Luo Yue was almost stunned all of a sudden!

"That's right, go and tell the lord and the lady."

Looking at the shocked maid Luo Yue, Tan Xiao smiled at her and nodded.

"Good! Good! Good!! Young master, you wait, I'll go and sue the lord and the lady right away! ”

nodded desperately towards Tan Xiao, and then the maid Luo Yue hurriedly ran out

"Dad, mother, the child has to wake up Su Hui this time, and he is determined to participate in this big exam, he can't be filial to his parents, he is really dead, I hope my father and mother will forgive my sins!"

Kneeling in front of the two old men, Du Ping said.

"Hey, if that's the case, this is also the will of the immortals, if your body is really fine, we naturally have to follow it well."

Hearing the words of laughter, Du Ping's father, Du Fuwei, finally nodded in agreement

Du Ping suddenly fell into a coma, he was enlightened by the heavenly immortals, and awakened the wisdom of the stars in his previous life, if he took the big exam this time, he would definitely go to high school!

Inadvertently, just two or three hours later, the entire Zhongnan Mountain was boiling.

After all, in the ancient times of feudal superstition, everyone still believed in legends such as immortals, especially at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and there were many legends of immortals that have been passed down from generation to generation

As soon as he was ready, he hurriedly prepared to catch up with Zhong Kui on the road, but at this time, what people didn't expect was that another accident suddenly came.

Zhong Kui came to Du Mansion!

Yes, Zhong Kui, who was supposed to have gone on the road to Beijing to take the exam, appeared in Du Mansion, and he came here to visit his good friend!

Originally, according to what Luo Yue said, Zhong Kui should indeed have set off to Beijing to catch the exam, but because of some things, he was delayed for a day.

I was also going to leave today, but I didn't expect to hear about Du Ping's wake-up, so he immediately hurried to visit.

"Brother Du Ping, you passed out that day, it really scared Brother Fool, Brother Li, and Brother Zhang, but since it is a great event for the immortals to enlighten, it is really worth celebrating."

The moment he saw the conversation and laughter, Zhong Kui's ugly face showed a sincere smile.

"Hehe, Brother Zhong Kui said with a smile."

Looking at Zhong Kui's smiling face that seemed to be smiling bitterly, on the surface, Tan Xiao smiled slightly, but in his heart, Tan Xiao was really crying and laughing.

"Your uncle, do you bring such a playful person?"

couldn't help it, in his heart, he almost pointed at Zhong Kui's nose and scolded when he talked and laughed.

But there is no way, if you say it, if you spill it, since the plan has changed, you can only find a way to continue to change, and it is wrong.

"Brother Zhong Kui, this time I am going to go to Beijing to catch the exam, since you haven't gone on the road yet. I think, why don't we walk together? ”

I thought about it. Tan Xiao said to Zhong Kui.

"This, naturally, couldn't be better."

Suddenly, I heard Tan Xiao say this. Zhong Kui was slightly surprised at first, but then he was full of joy.

Entering Beijing to catch the exam, the journey is far away, although Zhong Kui is confident that he still has some protective martial arts, but if there is a person to accompany him, it must be much better.

Not counting the dangers along the way, the two of them can have a care.

The loneliness and loneliness of being alone along the way alone is enough to make people uncomfortable.

If two people travel together, talk and discuss poetry and books along the way. It's much better than a person, isn't.

Seeing Zhong Kui agreeing, he smiled and smiled secretly,

"At least the first step agreed."

"By the way, Brother Zhong Kui, if you go to Beijing to take the exam, what should the little sister in the family do?"

With an expression as if he suddenly thought of it, Tan Xiao suddenly asked Zhong Kui.

"Little sister Zhong Ling's words, naturally I am waiting for me to come back at home."

Looking at Du Ping's expression, Zhong Kui subconsciously opened his mouth to answer.

"This. I'm afraid that my little sister is at home alone, and there is no man at home, I'm afraid, it will be inconvenient. After all, Xiaomei is just a weak woman and has no one to protect. It's hard to guarantee that there won't be a prodigal son who eats the ambition of the leopard gall."

Zhong Kui's words fell, and he opened his mouth like this.

"This. How can this be? ”

Suddenly hearing such words as Tan Xiao, Zhong Kui's heart tightened suddenly. I was also very nervous.

His most precious thing is his sister.

On weekdays, her sister Zhong Ling is slim and slim, and there are many prodigal sons who beat her ideas.

Fortunately, he had practiced martial arts, and ordinary strongmen were not his opponents, and with his protection, those prodigal sons of Dengtu were beaten up several times, and they no longer dared to trouble Zhong Ling.

But if he leaves, I'm afraid that those prodigal sons will really find trouble with her!

Thinking of this, Zhong Kui's brows also furrowed tightly.

"Why don't you take your little sister to Beijing together?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, as if inadvertently, talking and laughing like this.

"Take your little sister to Beijing together?"

Suddenly hearing such a chatter, Zhong Kui was also stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about it like this before.

First, Zhong Ling is just a weak woman, and she is afraid that it will be difficult for her to persevere after trekking along the way, second, he is only one person on the road, and third, from ancient times to the present, it seems that no one has ever heard of anyone taking his sister into Beijing to take the exam.

"If Brother Zhong Kui is worried about the hardships and inconveniences of the little sister along the way, but there is no need to worry so much, I will also take Luo Yue and hurry by car when I enter Beijing this time."

"As for Brother Zhong Kui, please rest assured, although the younger brother's family is not very rich, it is also considered solid, and now you and I are entering Beijing together, and we should eat and live together."

Looking at Zhong Kui's hesitant appearance, Tan Xiao seemed to be able to fully understand what he was thinking.

"This"

Hearing Tan Xiao say this again, Zhong Kui suddenly seemed embarrassed.

But before he could speak, the conversation and laughter directly interrupted his words,

"Brother Zhong Kui, if I am still a brother, don't say more!"

When such words came out, all of a sudden, although he was very embarrassed, but all of a sudden, Zhong Kui didn't have much to say.

In fact, if you are really worried about the little sister of the Zhong family, you can let her come to your house to stay or something, of course, you won't tell Zhong Kui if you talk and laugh

hired a carriage, took his maid Luo Yue and the Zhong family brothers and sisters, and then went to Beijing to take the exam.

Along the way, not to mention the hardships and hardships, the group of people who talked and laughed also suffered a lot, experienced a lot of troubles, and even encountered dangers such as strongman robbery a few times.

Fortunately, Zhong Kui's martial arts are superb, and Tan Xiao has also started to practice Taoist secret techniques again, so it is naturally not a problem to deal with a few robbers.

Along the way, there was no danger, and the group finally arrived in Chang'an City more than half a month before the big exam.

Chang'an is prosperous, which almost made Zhong Kui, Zhong Ling, and Luo Yue, who were not only talking and laughing, dumbfounded.

"Brother, Brother Du, look, there is a fortune teller there, you are about to take the big exam, I think it is better to ask for a divination?"

On Xuanwu Street in Chang'an City, Zhong Kui's sister Zhong Ling suddenly shouted at Tan Xiao and Zhong Kui as if she had discovered something.

Follow her gaze. Tan Xiao and Zhong Kui looked at it, but it was a roadside noodle stall.

A square table. A tube of bamboo sticks, a yin and yang image is spread flat on the table. A bamboo pole with a flag hung on it, on which are written the words "fortune-telling" of the half-immortal.

"Huh?"

Yaoyao, glancing at the fortune-telling booth, frowned slightly.

"Okay, let's see."

Seeing his sister greet him, Zhong Kui smiled slightly, but nodded in agreement.

The divination booth was not large, sitting at the front of the table, looking at the old man who looked up. didn't wait for Zhong Kui to speak, the other party spoke first,

"Fortune telling, reading hexagrams, or word testing, marriage or luck?"

"You're a half-immortal, can't you figure out what we're going to see?"

Subconsciously, Zhong Kui was about to open his mouth to answer, but at this time. The sound of talking and laughing came from the side.

Suddenly hearing Tan Xiao talking like this, Zhong Kui, Zhong Ling, and Luo Yue on the side were all slightly startled,

"Young Master (Brother Du) (Brother Du)"

Inside their image. Du Ping has always been the kind of gentle and humble gentleman, and this time he is so aggressive, which is really rare.

When they didn't wait to continue talking. Talking and laughing, but with a wave of his hand, stopped them.

"Oh? This friend. There is something interesting to this statement. ”

Looking at the conversation and laughter standing in front of the stall, this old man looked up. There was a slight hint of scrutiny in his eyes,

"Look at your appearance, arrogant, but it contains the breath of books and ink, you are a bamboo in your chest, you listen to the accent, and you are not a local, think about it, you should be a scholar who came to Beijing to take the exam, then you should be the test luck."

After a slight look, the old fortune teller said.

"This son, I think, since you want to test your luck, it's better to test the words, you can write a word at will, and I will explain it to you."

After the previous words were finished, it was surprising that suddenly, the old man withdrew his gaze from Tan Xiao's body, and then ignored Tan Xiao, but said to Zhong Kui.

"This"

Hearing the old man's words, Zhong Kui hesitated a little for a while, but then after thinking about it, he smiled and arched his hand towards the old man,

"Since the elder said so, then I won't shirk it."

Saying this, Zhong Kui picked up the brush on the table, took out a piece of rice paper, dipped it, and wrote the word "Kui" of Zhong Kui on it.

After writing, Zhong Kui then handed the rice paper to the old man.

Taking the rice paper from Zhong Kui's hand, the fortune teller held his breath, looked at it very seriously for a while, seemed to ponder for a while, and then spoke,

"You are this Kui word, Kui character sound the same kui, the best among the people, this shows that you are full of talent, knowledge must be outstanding, Kui word split nine and first, nine is the ultimate in the world, you get nine, since then the big test, must be at the top of the list, but the first word is the head, your head leaves the body, this big exam, I am afraid that not only can you not go to high school, but you will not be killed!!"

With a solemn expression, the old man who told the fortune told said to Zhong Kui.

"This"

The old man who was told the fortune said this, and Zhong Kui's face suddenly became a little ugly.

After all, if you think about it, you know.

Until now, before you take the college entrance examination, you haven't taken the exam, and you are looking for someone to tell your fortune, but the fortune teller says that you will not only fail to get into college in the college entrance examination, but you will also be killed.

When encountering such a thing, I believe that whoever is changed, the mood will naturally be bad in an instant.

"You person, my brother and I kindly asked you for fortune telling, and you are talking nonsense like this!"

Looking at Zhong Kui, whose face became a little ugly, Zhong Kui's sister Zhong Ling's heart moved, but she said so.

"Yes, yes, Young Master Zhong is very knowledgeable, this big exam must be titled on the gold list, you are completely nonsense! Are you on the right page!! ”

Not only Zhong Ling, but Luo Yue on the side also spoke.

"Isn't it possible? If not, what do I want this half-immortal brand for? ”

Looking at Zhong Ling and Luo Yue, at this moment, the old man squinted his eyes and spoke.

"Really? Are you sure? ”

At this time, the words of the fortune teller fell, and the voice of talking and laughing came up again,

"Since you don't want it, this signboard, I'll smash it for you."

Saying this, Tan Xiao really grabbed the signboard flag with the half-immortal fortune telling that the old fortune teller had planted on the ground.

But at this time, Zhong Kui, who was sitting on the stool, stood up all of a sudden. stopped the conversation and laughter,

"Brother Du. Don't do this, this is Chang'an City. Farming in the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, we are more than a little less for a while. ”

After stretching out his hand to stop Tan Xiao, looking at Tan Xiao, Zhong Kui shook his head.

"Old man, this is fortune-telling money."

After stopping the talk, Zhong Kui took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and slapped it on the table, then got up and left with the chatter and a few people.

"Zhong Kui's fate is changed by me!"

walked away, but looked at the fortune-telling stall in the distance. Tan Xiao still seems to be able to see a pair of eyes that seem to be muddy, but seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts, but at this moment, Tan Xiao is fearless

More than half a month later, in the big exam, the chief examiner was the world-famous Confucian Han Yu, and the deputy examiner was also a well-known bachelor at that time.

A month later, the big exam was released, and it seemed that it was loved by the two examiners. Zhong Kui ranked first in the first list.

Because of all of Du Ping's memories, plus his original memories, Tanxiao is also in high school, ranking third in the first list.

Of course. This is still the result of talking and laughing deliberately controlling zhì, and not writing any "shocking" articles that can be passed down through the ages.

After the big exam, according to the regulations. Tan Xiao and Zhong Kui are both eligible to participate in the palace examination.

At this point, Yiqiē seems to have embarked on the original trajectory of fate again.

But talk and laugh to believe. This time, fate will surely change. Because I have made enough efforts to change carefully!

But it's hard to imagine that what should have happened happened anyway.

On the top of the main hall, Zhong Kui disliked his ugly appearance because of Dezong, and because the prime minister of the dynasty was jealous of his talent, he should be in line with Dezong, saying that he should abandon him and choose another champion.

In a fit of rage, although there was talk and laughter present to save him, Zhong Kui finally died on the Jinluan Palace.

It's just that this time he didn't kill himself, but he died by touching the golden pillar on the Jinluan Palace!!

Holding Zhong Kui's body, clenching her fists to death, sighing, talking and laughing, and in the hotel, Zhong Ling, who was waiting for her brother in high school, saw her brother's corpse, what people didn't expect was that she followed her brother and killed herself.

"What is this?!"

The two brothers and sisters died one after another, and the faces of the conversation and laughter were hard to see.

"That's how my mission failed?"

Talking and laughing in my own heart is full of unwillingness and disbelief!

"You say, can fate change?"

Sitting on the half-immortal fortune-telling stall on Xuanwu Street, he stared at the fortune-telling old man in front of him with a smile.

"I don't know."

The old man didn't look up, but just said.

"Don't know?"

Repeating the old man's answer, Tan Xiao suddenly fell into deep thought.

"Thank you, it's your honorarium."

After a long period of blind contemplation, he came back to his senses, looked at this old man who was not good-looking, put down a certain twenty taels of silver and got up and left

Seven days after Zhong Kui's death, in other words, it was Zhong Kui's first seven, and two ash jars were placed on the table.

When a person dies, there is a saying that the body must be brought back.

But it was too inconvenient to travel a long distance and take two corpses back to Zhongnan Mountain, thousands of miles away, and there was no way, so Tan Xiao had to burn them to ashes.

Looking at the two ash jars on the table, Tanxiao looked at it for a long time, and then inexplicably, suddenly sighed again, and Tanxiao spoke,

"Brother Zhong Kui, you really have to change your temper, don't think about yourself, you have to think about your little sister, right? And the little sister? How can you give up your life so lightly? How do you tell me to go back and meet people? ”

Saying this, in front of Zhong Kui and Zhong Ling's ashes, Tan Xiao suddenly pulled out a sword, then pulled out the sword from the sheath, put the sword edge on his neck, wiped it hard, and pulled out the sword to kill himself!!

Talking and laughing died, he drew his sword and committed suicide.

But this is also a helpless thing, at this point, this is a strategy in desperation.

Originally, Tan Xiao thought about using the bond between his sister and brother to change Zhong Kui's fate of killing himself in anger under his impulse, but failed.

Because of this, Zhong Ling, who should have died of depression later, killed himself in advance.

If Zhong Ling is still alive, Tan Xiao can also pass the line of Zhong Ling, continue to find a way to contact the Zhong family brothers and sisters, and complete the task.

But now that Zhong Ling is dead, for Tan Xiao, all the mission lines have been interrupted, so if you still want to complete the mission, you can only die with them.

Talking and laughing committed suicide, the soul immediately wandered out, the soul fluttered, and there seemed to be a suction force under the faint bottom, wanting to suck away the soul of talking and laughing, but at this time, the spiritual consciousness of talking and laughing moved slightly, but it was given his figure.

And at this time, the conversation and laughter that became a lonely ghost clearly saw that it was by his side, and the ghosts of Zhong Kui and Zhong Ling were looking at him so straight.

"Brother Du, how can you do this?!! Your parents are still alive, and it's a big shame that you are so suicidal!! ”

His eyes were full of excitement as he looked at Tan Xiao, and Zhong Kui's ghost shouted at Tan Xiao.

"What about you? Obviously your sister is still there, have you ever wondered what she will do if you die?! ”

In the face of Zhong Kui's reprimand, his smile did not change, and he refuted back, this time, Zhong Kui's face turned dark, and he glanced at his sister beside him, unable to say a word.

In the final analysis, the three of them seem to have fallen into the current situation, and it seems that he started because he committed suicide alone.

"Brother Du, now, what should we do now? Do we have to be reincarnated? ”

Just when the atmosphere between Tan Xiao and Zhong Kui was a little awkward, Zhong Ling spoke quietly.

"I don't know, to be honest, I haven't experienced anything like this either."

In the face of Zhong Ling's inquiry, Tan Xiao smiled bitterly and lied a little.

"We should go to reincarnation, hehe, now it seems that it's too late to say anything, but the three of us are on the road together, but we don't have to worry about being without a companion."

With a wry smile, Zhong Kui's words were full of bitterness.

"Reincarnation? I don't think it's that easy. ”

At this time, after thinking about it, talking and laughing directly interrupted Zhong Kui's words,

"Brother Zhong Kui, don't forget, you were despised by the emperor, and in a fit of anger, you touched the pillar and died, and when you died, you were full of anger, so how could you be reincarnated like an ordinary ghost?"

"There is also a little sister, who killed herself for the death of her brother, and when she died, she was also full of resentment about the impermanence of fate, so how can she be reincarnated like an ordinary person?"

"As for me, I feel sorry for you two, I killed myself with guilt, and I'm afraid I won't be able to reincarnate."

"So, what should we do?"

Speaking of this for a while, Zhong Ling was a little flustered.

"Little sister is fine, don't be afraid, even if it falls into the current situation, after all, the three of us are together, if there is anything, at least we can take care of each other."

Looking at his little sister's appearance, Zhong Kui whispered to comfort.

"Yes, little sister, don't worry too much, even if you can't be reincarnated, there is nothing wrong with the three of us wandering the world together."

He smiled at Zhong Ling, talking and laughing so relieved.

Relieved by Tan Xiao and Zhong Kui, the panic in Zhong Ling's heart eased a little, and he involuntarily nodded slightly.

"The world has a legend that during the day the yang energy is strong, the dead can not haunt, only at night, the yin energy prevails, the dead can come out to move, now it is still daytime, I think we still wait here for a while, and when the sky is at night, we will find another way."

"In addition, according to legend, after the death of the dead, the spirit must inhale incense or the yang energy of the living, otherwise it will become weaker and weaker until the soul is gone."

After thinking about it, as if thinking of something very important, Tan Xiao said to Zhong Kui and Zhong Ling.

"Do you want to smoke incense and yang energy?"

Hearing Tan Xiao say this, Zhong Kui and Zhong Ling first nodded slightly, and then they didn't know what to do.

Smoking the yang energy of a living person doesn't sound like a good person's doing, but as for smoking incense, where can you get it?

This is a problem. (To be continued......)
