Chapter Twenty-Seven: Christmas Eve on Qingcheng Mountain

"Chiyin Cave" is located on a cliff in the back mountain of Qingcheng, at a high altitude, with layers of winding and steep stairs leading to the gate at the entrance. As far as the eye can see, it's like stepping into the clouds.

Asked about Qingcheng Mountain, therefore, there are countless Taoist temples large and small on Qingcheng Mountain. Although the scale of "Chiyin丨 Cave" is small, the location is very good, and it occupies the best scenic spot. Just look for a room inside, stand at the window, and you can overlook the entire Qingcheng Mountain.

Despite this, this small Taoist temple is not cared for. Because, as the entrance to the underworld, this place was enchanted by Xiao Zhan, except for him, Wanmeng, Xuyouzi, and the Sun family, no one knew how to enter this Taoist temple, and even no one knew that there was a "Red Yin Cave".

"Wow! The night view of Qingcheng Mountain is really beautiful, Xizi, you see, there are so many stars in the sky. Although I bask in the moon on the roof every day, I have never seen so many stars. When a few people arrived in the white mist, everyone was attracted by the scenery in front of them.

The stars in the sky shone overhead, twinkling and twinking, shrouding the entire "Red Yin Cave" in a gentle and hazy halo.

"Yo, this Taoist temple is so small and so broken! Great god, you are so rich, why don't you expand it and decorate it well, so that the incense can be vigorous." Xixi found that the "Chiyin Cave" looked very imposing at the door, but after coming in, there was only a small courtyard, a main building, and two bungalows. And it is a building that looks like it is thousands of years old, and the walls of the house are corroded, mottled and gray, and the corners are overgrown with weeds, and some wild fungi are emerging from the weeds.

The main building is only two floors, and while it is not as dilapidated as the two bungalows, it still looks crumbling, as if a magnitude 5 earthquake could knock it down.

"Little thing, do you know what this place is? Xiao Zan took Yun Xizi's hand and looked down at Xixi's wig that was a little messy from the wind.

"Eh, isn't it your lair, the great god?" Xixi straightened his wig and looked up at Xiao Zhan.

"This is a place for the Nuwa people to settle down, and the people of Nuwa have a place to stay in various places, but this is the most special. Seeing that Xixi straightened out the wig, Xiao Zan felt pleasing to the eye.

God, do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?

"Is it because you live here, great god?" Xixi rubbed his little short hand and looked at Xiao Zan with a flattering expression.

"This is the entrance to the underworld. Xiao Zan looked in the direction of the main building, where there seemed to be bursts of yin qi coming out.

"Ahh

"Well, that's why I've set up an enchantment here, and no one can enter here except for special people, let alone know that such a place exists. After Xiao Zan finished speaking, he blew into the main building, and then blew away those yin qi.

"That's... Am I a special person?" Hee Hee looked expectant, and quickly rubbed his little short hand.

"Not really. Xiao Zan said lightly.

Ignoring Xixi's slightly disappointed expression, Xiao Zan took Yun Xizi and stepped into the main building.

"The great god is back!" the Void Wanderer ran out of his mind, "Huh... Do you have guests?"

"This is my girlfriend, Yun Xizi, you can call her Sister Xizi. Here's her doll, Hee-hee, here's her dog, ice cream. This little Taoist priest is the Taoist Void Wanderer of the Chiyin Cave, he is in charge of everything here, you can find him if you need anything. Xiao Zan put his arm around Yun Xizi's shoulder and said.

"Poor wanderers, hello donors. The virtual wanderer hugged his left hand and his right hand to everyone, looking like a little adult. However, he watched Yun Xizi for a little longer than the others.

"Ah, it's a little Taoist, great god, do you also hire child labor?" Xixi was very curious about the Void Wanderer, jumped in front of him, sniffed it around, and scared the Void Wanderer to dodge left and right.

"Xuyouzi is an orphan adopted by the upper Dao Master, because he was born with Yin and Yang eyes, plus an extreme Yang physique, so he was trained to be the new Dao Master. "I thought that the previous Dao Master had spent many years looking for his heir, but he only found the Void Wanderer when he was about to feather. Therefore, the old Taoist only taught the art of ghost control to the Void Wanderer and then feathered.

Originally, the old Taoist elder hoped that Xiao Zan would accept the virtual wanderer as an apprentice and teach him some skills to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but Xiao Zan had never been interested in accepting apprentices, and he was even more reluctant to take children. Therefore, after the old Taoist elder feathered, he let the virtual wanderer fend for himself.

However, it's not completely unattended, and he dreamed that the virtual wanderer was still so young that he couldn't even walk steadily, let alone the ghosts, and he was often ridiculed by those ghosts brought by Xiao Zan to reincarnate. Out of unbearability, Greedy Dream took on the job of taking care of the virtual wanderer.

Therefore, the Void Wanderer was raised by Greedy Dreams. Now that the virtual wanderer is 7 years old, the art of resisting ghosts has gradually been mastered, not only can he bring the ghosts brought by Xiao Zan into the underworld to reincarnate, but when he is fine, he will also run to the mountains and forests to find some lonely ghosts and wild ghosts to come back and bring them into the underworld to reincarnate.

Therefore, he was nicknamed the "ghost scavenger" by Greedy Dreams.

Seeing that Xuyouzi was so small, but he wanted to pose as a little adult, Yun Xizi felt very cute, so he couldn't help but step forward and pinch his face.

"Heeko... Sister, the poor road is a monk. The Void Wanderer took two steps back with a blushing face.

"Hahahaha, Xizi, you actually teased the little Taoist priest in front of Xiao Dashen. Hee Hee leaned on the ice cream and laughed, "Huh... Little Taoist, where did you get this EL mouth cover bag?"

Hee Hee discovers that the virtual wanderer is carrying a Chanel black tweed bag. This bag matched with the cyan and white Taoist robe on his body, which was extremely inconsistent.

"This is a Christmas gift from the great god, saying that my previous bag has a hole, and if I put wild fruits, it may leak out, just change to a new one. "In addition to looking for lonely souls and wild ghosts in the mountains, the virtual wanderer also likes to pick some wild vegetables and fruits on the mountains.

"You use Chanel's bag for wild fruits?" Hee Hee covered her mouth with her short little hand in surprise, her eyes wide.

"What's wrong with Chanel? Isn't it also a bag? Isn't the bag just used to hold things?"

"Look at it, you haven't realized yet!" Yun Xizi said as he poked Xixi's rubber head.

"Yes, yes, I'm a layman. Hee said with a grin.

"Ahem!" Seeing the endless gossip of a few people, Xiao Zan couldn't help but cough lightly. The two-person world between him and Yun Xizi, Xiao Zan thought helplessly.

"Little Taoist, do you want to go to the top of the building to see the stars?" Xixi received Xiao Zhan's hint and immediately changed the topic.

"The doll... Sister, it's good if you call me a virtual wanderer, if you want to go to the top floor to see the stars, I'll find you a ladder. As he spoke, he was about to turn around and look for a ladder, but he was hugged by Hee-hee's ankle.

I saw Xixi holding the small round waist of ice cream with one hand, and the ankle of Xuyouzi with the other, and jumped to the top of the main building with one force.

"Xiao Dashen, I can only help you get here. Hee Xi winked at Xiao Chan and thought to himself.

"It's a little thing, it's interesting. Xiao Zan nodded slightly to Xixi, indicating that he had received it.

"Ahh

In fact, Hee Hee didn't throw him, but after jumping to the roof with his ankles, he let him go, who knew that he didn't recover yet, and he fell on the roof in one fell swoop.

"Little brother, you are too calm. Ice Cream squinted at the wanderer lying on the roof, a look of disdain.

"Nothing will happen to hand over the Void Wanderer to Xixi, right?" Yun Xizi looked at the Void Wanderer who was trembling on the roof with a little worry, and expressed deep worry. After all, she had never seen Hee take care of a child, for fear that Hee would treat the virtual wanderer as a toy and be crippled.

"It's okay, the virtual wanderer is different from ordinary children. Xiao Zan took Yun Xizi's hand and took her on a night tour of Qingcheng Mountain.

The Void Wanderer is indeed different from ordinary children, which child can resist ghosts at the age of 7? And which child was raised by a dream-eating tapir?

Walking down the steep stairs, Xiao Zan led Yun Xizi onto a path covered in trees.

The trees on both sides grow naturally, dense and flourishing. The branches and leaves are staggered, like a pair of big hands, covering the night sky, only allowing a little starlight to penetrate through the gaps, hitting the two of them, jumping like fireflies.

Xiao Zan looked down at Yun Xizi and found that her face exposed under the starlight was hazy and beautiful, as if she was gone in the blink of an eye.

After a ten-minute walk, the path turned into a avenue, and the trees on both sides thinned out and were replaced by lush greenery and wildflowers. The starlight shines brightly on the wildflowers, as if the flowers have grown gems.

"Xiao Zhan, look, it's so beautiful!" Yun Xizi said, pointing to the starry wildflowers.

"Well, this place is within my barrier, and no one else will come, so they have not been disturbed, and it has made them grow more pleasantly. "Everything has a spirit, and the plants and flowers that are not disturbed by the world grow freely in this holy land, and the possibility of refinement becomes greater.

"Squeak!" A group of camellias jumped out from the side, so frightened that Yun Xizi grabbed Xiao Zhan's arm tightly.

"Don't be afraid, they are camellia flower essences, they have not yet turned into human form, but they are already half-demons, they like to join in the fun, they just want to come and follow us, after all, except for the virtual wanderer, few people will come here. Xiao Zan reached out and patted Yun Xizi's back and comforted.

"Oh, it turned out to be the melon-eating masses. Hearing Xiao Zan say this, Yun Xizi was not afraid.

She spread her hands towards the group of camellia flower essences, and a few bold flowers flew into her palms, spinning and dancing on them, making Yun Xizi's palms tickle.

"Haha, they're so cute. Yun Xizi looked at Xiao Zan with a smile.

Seeing that Yun Xizi was very kind, other camellia flower essences also followed around Yun Xizi, and some even ran to her head and gave her a wreath.

Seeing Yun Xizi so happy, Xiao Zan decided to bring Yun Xizi over to play more in the future, so as not to keep her in the store and staring at a bunch of lifeless dolls.

After walking for a long time, I heard the sound of gurgling water. Surrounded by camellia flower essences, the two walked to an arched bridge.

The arch bridge is short and surrounded by greenery, and under the bridge is a babbling stream. Standing on the bridge and looking out, you can see the sky in the distance and the stars in the sky.

"I heard from the wanderer, it's beautiful to watch the sunrise here, but I can't accompany you to see it. Xiao Zan said with regret and hugged Yun Xizi's shoulder.

"It's okay, when you find that person, we'll be able to watch the sunrise together. Yun Xizi turned around and hugged Xiao Zhan's waist, put his face against his chest, listened to his strong heart, and felt that it was already good at this time.

Xiao Zan lowered his head and kissed the top of Yun Xizi's head lightly, and said, "Go further, pass a small bridge and pavilion, and you can see the waterfall." ”

It didn't take long for the two to come to a small wooden bridge. At the end of the bridge is a pavilion with seats, which is supposed to be used for rest.

"Who built these bridges and pavilions, and since no one is here, why is there a place for tourists to rest?" Yun Xizi looked up and asked Xiao Zhan.

"It was built hundreds of thousands of years ago, when it was sparsely populated and there weren't a lot of tourists coming here. Ever since Mount Qingcheng was regarded as a tourist attraction, I have set up an enchantment here, after all, there are many lonely ghosts and ghosts who come and go here, and there are even demons and monsters. Xiao Zan glanced at the lonely ghosts who were standing in the distance and peeked here, and wondered, has the virtual wanderer been lazy recently, and there seem to be more lonely ghosts.

"Also, if such a good place is regarded as a tourist attraction, it is estimated that even camellia flowers will not be able to become fine. As if in response to Yun Xizi's words, those camellia flower essences all "squeaked".

After passing through the pavilion, they heard the sound of "whooshing" water, and the waterfall mentioned by Xiao Zan appeared in front of the two of them.

The waterfall flows down the hill in two large streams, and below is a small pool, about the size of a plunge pool. The water flowed into the pool with the starlight, as if the stars were playful, jumped from the night sky, followed the flow of the waterfall, and jumped into the pool.

And the starlight in the pool is also flickering, like a group of swimming stars, playing and playing, extremely jubilant.

Yun Xizi, who was in the city, had rarely seen such a natural waterfall, or a golden waterfall full of starlight, and she was stunned for a while, and she didn't even hear Xiao Zan call her.

"What are you in a daze?" Xiao Zan flexed his index finger and gently tapped Yun Xizi's head before retrieving her attention.

"I think it would be nice if it was summer, and I could bring them over for a swim. "The environment here is no worse than the last Hell Hot Spring, and the Hell Hot Spring has been blocked by the police, so I don't think I'll have the chance to go there again in my life.

"Can you swim?" Xiao Zan was skeptical, after all, the Yun Xizi he saw was quiet and quiet, and it seemed that he couldn't have anything to do with sports.

However, Xiao Zan didn't mind seeing Yun Xizi in a swimsuit, and even had some expectations.

"Of course, when I was a child, there was a small swimming pool in the yard where I lived, and I soaked in it almost every day in the summer, and my grandmother would only come out after urging me to do so. Yun Xizi pouted.

"Your grandmother, I don't think I've heard you mention it before. Xiao Zan found that Yun Xizi didn't seem to mention his family very much.

"Well, I passed away a few years ago. I was raised by my grandmother, and my parents were in business all year round, and they rarely saw people except sending money. When Yun Xizi mentioned her deceased grandmother, she was inevitably a little depressed.

Xiao Zan wrapped her around Yun Xizi from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and whispered, "Tell me about you, I want to know more about you." ”

"My experience is as rich as yours, I'm just an ordinary person. Having said that, Yun Xizi still told Xiao Zan about her experience from childhood to adulthood, and even told Xiao Zan what Xiao Longbao didn't know.

"I'm such an ordinary person, so, Xiao Dashen, why do you like me?" Yun Xizi looked back at Xiao Zhan.

"I don't know. Xiao Zan turned Yun Xizi to face him, "I only know that I like you, and I have to be you." ”

After speaking, Xiao Zan lowered his head to find Yun Xizi's delicate lips......

"Tonight... Be... On Christmas Eve, I hope... You're going to be... Safe and sound. Yun Xizi was kissed by Xiao Zhan, and her breath was a little unstable.

"Good. After speaking, Xiao Zan lowered his head and kissed him again, kissing affectionately and passionately, even the surrounding camellia flower essence couldn't help blushing, and flew away with a "squeak", leaving the most beautiful scenery at this time to the two people who were the most affectionate.

Even the "whooshing" sound of the waterfall became the accompaniment of the two......

"The sun rises soon, let's go back, I have prepared a room for you, you can have a good rest, and let the virtual wanderer cook us Christmas dinner tomorrow night." Xiao Zan stroked Yun Xizi's slightly red and swollen lips with his thumb.

"Ha!" Yun Xizi said in surprise: "Asking a 7-year-old child to cook Christmas dinner for a few of us adults, are you considered child abuse?"

"Don't underestimate him, he will be my apprentice in the future?" Xiao Zan scratched Yun Xizi's little upturned nose dotingly.

After this night's sweet date, Xiao Zan decided to accept the apprentice, because he needed more time to get along with Yun Xizi, so the matter of fighting monsters could be left to the apprentices.
