Li Xiaohui and I followed Teacher Jia down Mengding Mountain, sat down in a hotel under the mountain, I don't know what happened to Teacher Jia today, I actually asked for a private room in this hotel, I felt a little weird in my heart, but I didn't say anything, and followed Li Xiaohui, who was excited, into the private room.

I sat down next to Li Xiaohui and quietly asked her, "Xiaohui, do you have anything important to tell me?" ”

Li Xiaohui was looking at the menu excitedly at the moment, pointing at Yaoyao on the side, she glanced at me, and said coquettishly: "It's not a big deal, let's talk about it after we finish eating." ”

I was a little speechless, this Li Xiaohui is simply a foodie, and she is excited when she sees food.

I saw Teacher Jia sitting across from me with a smile on his face, and I asked Teacher Jia while I was still cooking, "Teacher Jia, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Teacher Jia glanced at Li Xiaohui and the two who were talking in a low voice, and he said with a smile: "Zixuan, I saw someone practicing boxing in the woods behind the guest house last night. ”

I was shocked, what Mr. Jia said was clueless, but it was actually a reminder to me. He was telling me that he had seen me test the power of the dragon in the woods last night. It's just that why didn't he show up last night, but came to me today to explain, and what kind of purpose did he have?

"By the way, a few of your classmates who lived with me this morning came to me and reported that the window glass of the room where you lived was shattered, and a bedside table was also broken. And the bamboo grove at the back of the building, where I found a lot of messy footprints, and some broken pieces of clothes, if I'm not mistaken, those clothes seem to be similar to the one you wore yesterday. Teacher Jia raised the teacup in his hand and took a shallow sip, his movements were elegant and calm.

I pretended to look at Mr. Jia calmly, but my heart was already overturned, I never thought that this middle-aged man in his forties would be sensitive to such a point, just from the damage to the utensils in the room and the fragments of clothes in the bamboo forest can be inferred that I have a problem, no wonder when I was in a situation next to Mengquanjing today, Mr. Jia would be so unusually concerned about me, it turned out that he had already targeted me.

"Chen Zixuan, Teacher Jia, what are you two playing dumb riddles? Why can't I understand it? Li Xiaohui put the menu in her hand on the table, and looked at me and Teacher Jia with two big eyes, her face was confused.

I shook my head at Li Xiaohui, signaled that it was okay, and then pretended to be calm and said, "Teacher Jia, if you have something to say, let's not say dark things." ”

Teacher Jia smiled and said to me, "Zixuan, don't be nervous, the teacher has no malicious intentions." I just happened to meet Li Xiaohui coming out of you when I came back last night, she seemed to be very excited, while walking, she was talking about female ghosts, dragon shadows or something, and also mentioned your name, if it wasn't for the little girl next to her to hold her, she would probably have shouted excitedly, hehe. ”

it! It was actually Li Xiaohui who was talking about last night on the road because she was excited, but she was heard by Teacher Jia. It is estimated that when I came out of Zhuge Junfang's room last night, I was also looked at by Mr. Jia, and then followed me all the way to the woods to watch my performance, when I thought of this, my face became red, I was probably too excited last night, so I didn't notice Mr. Jia who was following behind me, if it was a normal time, I might have found him a long time ago.

Li Xiaohui also reacted to what Teacher Jia said at this time, she glanced at me a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Chen Zixuan, I'm sorry, I was too excited last night, that's why I ......."

"It's okay, I don't blame you." I said to Li Xiaohui with a wry smile, after all, this incident was her unintentional move, and in connection with her usual grinning personality, I really can't blame her in my heart.

I said to Teacher Jia, "Teacher Jia, tell me, what is the matter with you coming to me today?" ”

Teacher Jia put the teacup in his hand on the table, his two eyes suddenly became sharp, he stared at me deadly, and said solemnly: "Chen Zixuan, I want to know if what Li Xiaohui said is true?" ”

I hesitated, nodded at him, and acquiesced. After all, Mr. Jia has deduced so many things, and depending on the situation, it can't be hidden from him.

When Teacher Jia saw me admit it, he immediately became excited, and a gleam burst out of his eyes, and he spoke: "The female ghost, the dragon shadow, and the power you interrupted the two big trees last night. Chen Zixuan, are you one of those legendary cultivators? Is it a Taoist priest, or a warlock, or a descendant of those Jianghu sects! ”

I looked at Teacher Jia's excited face, thought for a while and said, "Our lineage should be regarded as a branch of Taoism, that is, catching ghosts and subduing demons and the like." ”

"Haha, I didn't expect that there really are people like you in this world!" Teacher Jia rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Do you know, since I was a child, I like to read books such as gods and ghosts, what are the Zhiwei of the Six Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasty notes, etc., I have always believed that there are monsters and ghosts in this world, and I have always been addicted to them. It's just that I've always regretted that I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Chen Zixuan, can you tell me about those ghosts? The teacher is very interested in these things. ”

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it turned out that this teacher Jia did not have other purposes, but had a special interest in ghosts and gods, because he accidentally found some clues from me, so he came to me specifically to understand.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly much more relaxed, I saw that Li Xiaohui and the little girl named Yaoyao were also looking at me with anticipation, I thought about it for a while, and told them about the night attack of the female ghost I encountered when I first went to Qingcheng Mountain and the master's summoning of the five powerful ghosts, and I heard Li Xiaohui and Yaoyao exclaim again and again, but Teacher Najia was eyes flashing.

After I finished speaking, Mr. Jia slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Haha, there are indeed ghosts and monsters in this world, and those records in ancient books are not false, it seems that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science, I really want to see these magical things with my own eyes!" ”

Just then, the door to the private room opened, and the waiter began to serve us food. Teacher Jia is quite generous, although there are only four people, but he ordered seven or eight dishes in a row, one of which is the casserole Yayu that Li Xiaohui has been talking about, I sat next to her, I could hear the sound of Li Xiaohui constantly swallowing saliva, and I heard me smile bitterly again and again, I was helpless for this foodie.

"Hehe, come and try it, this casserole Yayu is a specialty of Yazhou, only Yazhou has this kind of fish on the whole earth, it can be said to be an extremely rare thing." Teacher Jia smiled and pushed the casserole towards us.

Li Xiaohui hurriedly took a few pieces of fish from the casserole and put them in the bowl, and shouted that it was delicious while stuffing it into her mouth.

Teacher Jia looked at us with a smile and introduced: "This Yayu, also known as Bingxue fish, is only produced in the section of the Tsing Yi River in Yazhou, and is known for its fat body and delicate meat. The great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty praised when he lived in Sichuan, "the fish knows the origin of the Bingxue, and the wine recalls the pi tube without the sting", and in the Qing Dynasty, some local officials paid tribute to the empress dowager Cixi, and Cixi praised the fish after eating it again and again for its tender meat and infinite taste, which is better than the liver of the gentian and phoenix, so the fish is also called the meat of the dragon and phoenix! ”

While tasting the delicious fish, I listened to Mr. Jia's allusions to Yayu, which was very interesting.

At this moment, Teacher Jia said with a mysterious face: "Do you know, the reason why this Yayu is famous is that it has a sword hidden on its head!" ”

"What sword?" Li Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, chewing on the fish meat in her mouth, and asked curiously, she was not afraid of being stuck by fish bones with her rough appearance.

Mr. Jia stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fish head, poked it in the fish head, and soon he fished out a white fish bone from the fish head, which was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the hilt and blade of the sword were clearly distinguished, which was clearly visible, which was the shape of a living sword. Li Xiaohui and Yaoyao next to me were stunned, and I was also curious to look at this sword bone, you must know that although I grew up in Yazhou, I was not blessed to enjoy the delicacy of Yayu, and now I see the sword bone on Yayu's head for the first time, and I am also very curious.

"Hehe, this fish has a sword bone on its head, and it can only be found in this Yayu in the whole world." When Mr. Jia saw our surprised look, he said with some pride.

Li Xiaohui reached out and picked up the sword bone from the table, and while looking at it, she asked, "Is there anything special about this bone?" It looks amazing. ”

Teacher Jia smiled: "The origin of this sword bone can be big, according to the folklore of Yazhou, this is when Nuwa Niangniang mended the sky, the sword on her body fell into the water of the Tsing Yi River, and was swallowed by a big Ya fish, which turned into a sword bone on the forehead, and since then it has become an anti-counterfeiting mark to identify Yayu: if there is a sword, it is true, and if there is no sword, it is false." And according to legend, when it came to Dayu's water control, King Yu encountered the evil demons and evil Jiao that caused the flood in the Tsing Yi River, Yu fought with them for a long time, regardless of victory or defeat, the task of water control is difficult to continue, and at this time the Yayu King in the Tsing Yi River dedicated his sword bone to Dayu, the sword bone turned into a sword, and exerted a powerful power in the hands of Dayu, and all the demons and evil Jiao who hindered him from controlling the water were surrendered, and the flood in this place was calmed down. Since then, the sword bone of this Yayu also has a kind of ability to ward off evil spirits, and many people have made this sword bone into a pendant and hung it on their chests to ward off evil spirits and protect themselves. ”

I was suddenly shocked, but the casual words in Mr. Jia's mouth stirred my heart upside down at this moment.

Dayu, demons, evil Jiao.

These sensitive words irritated me severely. Sure enough, when Dayu was controlling the water in the Tsing Yi River, there was another mystery, and the four elephant sealing arrays under the Mengquan Well and the evil demons inside were really done by him. As for the sword bone of this Yayu, I took the sword bone from Li Xiaohui's hand and observed it carefully.

The white bones of the sword fell into my hand, and they looked warm and smooth, but they were nothing out of the ordinary, except for the shape of a sword, and they were no different from other fish bones.

I saw that Li Xiaohui was once again caught in her battle to eliminate the food, and she didn't care about the sword bone that I took away, only Yaoyao on the side seemed to look at me thoughtfully, but when she saw me looking at her, she quickly lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at me. I didn't care, and put the sword bone in my underwear pocket. Although I don't know what the use of this Yayu sword bone is, I thought in my heart that since the sword bone on the head of this Yayu is related to Dayu's subjugation of evil demons in the legend, it is always right to collect it.

I chatted with Mr. Jia for a few more words, and everyone began to solve the problem of the food in front of us.

About half an hour later, when we were standing at the door of the restaurant with a full meal, I looked at Teacher Jia, Li Xiaohui and others with some hesitation, because according to my original plan, I wanted to go to Qiangzhai alone, but at this moment they were by my side, it was difficult to say.

Teacher Jia's eyes were quite sharp, he found the same on my face, and hurriedly asked, "Chen Zixuan, where are you going in the afternoon?" ”

I was a little entangled in my heart, but I soon thought that this teacher Jia seemed to be very knowledgeable and talented, and he was also a very good person, maybe if he let him go to Qiang Village with me, it might be of some help to my actions.

Thinking of this, I told Teacher Jia about going to Qiangzhai, but I didn't expect Teacher Jia's eyes to be bright after hearing this, he immediately nodded and agreed, and was willing to go to Qiangzhai with me. And Li Xiaohui on the side was even more noisy to go with us after hearing it, I was so troubled by her that I couldn't do it, and thinking that she had also been there, I could only nod and agree.

At this time, after noon, the scorching sun shrouded the earth, and a few of us walked towards the ancient Tsing Yi Qiang village......
