"I checked the Tianji scroll, Youchang in the north is one of the five divine birds, in addition to the invention in the East, Jiao Ming in the south, the Partridge in the West and the phoenix in the center, what does the old Taoist of Qingxu mean by calling me Youchang at first sight? Could it be that I was just a divine bird in my previous life? So where did this human body come from?" I slapped the file on the table, waking up Jiu'er who was asleep in a daze.

"Sister Ying, you've been talking here all day, and it's not too early at this time, do you want to go back and rest first?"

"Little girl, you haven't learned to open the door to do business, you have learned to pick up customers!" said to pinch her little nose, she turned her face away to dodge, at this time she stepped into the store without a golden knife, bowed her head and didn't say a word, but her face was full of three words: I have something.

"Is something wrong?"

"Hmm, how do you know I'm in trouble!"

I gave him a blank look: "I've written it all on my face." ”

He smiled meaninglessly: "That's the case, Ling Ze, the tree demon of the Thousand Miasma Forest, planted a soul flag on the top of the mountain and set up an altar to make the spiritual field around the Thousand Miasma Forest chaotic, and the souls of the newly deceased could not find Huangquan Road, and the lonely souls and wild ghosts of the Thousand Miasma Forest over the years also gathered in the Thousand Miasma Forest, sad!"

I heard that the demon king Ling Ze is 10,000 years old, and he must also be an old man, I heard that he has been digging rivers all along, and I don't know why, and now he is putting a soul flag on the top of the mountain, which is really ugly. I said to Wu Wuming: "Isn't this playing with ghosts and fighting against the wall! Why don't you just go to the Thousand Miasma Forest to find him and ask him to remove the soul flag." ”

"It's useless, Xiao Huang went with my letter before, Ling Ze was unmoved, he didn't take me as a ghost envoy in his eyes at all, and the embarrassing thing is that I really can't do anything about him for his ten thousand years of cultivation. ”

"How can this be reasonable, I will go up the mountain with you, and I will meet this demon king Ling Ze!"

Wu Ming almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine: "When did you become so arrogant?" "That is, as the reincarnation of one of the five divine birds, how can I still be cowardly like before!" He was about to squirt out another mouthful of old blood: "Five Directions Divine Bird, don't be kidding, that divine object can't have a reincarnation, who are you teasing." ”

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you don't, you have long hair and short knowledge...... Woman!" As soon as I spoke, he almost choked, Jiu'er laughed, and woke up one of the clinical people, he turned over from the seat and sat up, yawned and stretched, and looked at me in confusion: "What's the matter, so lively." ”

"Linzhen, why are you still here, you really don't want to leave?"

"Xiao Jiu'er's drunken Jin Yao is getting better and better, I am really reluctant to leave. Jiu'er smiled: "Yes, yes, my husband has been helping me make wine now, saying that my skills are getting better and better, and he also helped me collect dew last night." "It's really loving, don't you really want to wait for this little girl to grow up? Although it was a joke, I still didn't have the courage to ask.

"Ling Ze, the dryad of the Thousand Miasma Forest, what's interesting, why don't I accompany you for a walk. "Wow, wow, wow, with Linxi, everything is fine." ”

Wu Ming stared out the window blankly, and suddenly stood up: "You go first, I still have some things to deal with." "Huh?" - At his urging, Lin Qian and I set off for the Thousand Miasma Forest.

Later, I heard Jiu'er tell me that after we left, Wuming made three jars of wine alone, and returned to the ghost world drunk and slightly drunk, saying what "looking for corpses and summoning spirits", I naturally knew what it meant to search for corpses and summon spirits when I went to the Qianmia Forest, but Wuming originally carried a life and death book with him, why did he go back to the ghost world?

When I was about to reach the Thousand Miasma Forest, Lin Yu suddenly stopped me: "Wait a minute, this forest is not something that can be entered casually." "I know, there are miasma everywhere in the Thousand Miasma Forest, once you inhale it, you will have difficulty breathing, pain in your lungs, fainting in the light, and death in the heavy, but you don't have to worry about me, I am a dead person, not afraid." ”

He plucked up the courage to say, "I'm afraid." ”

Then there was no way, I had to bite the bullet and go in alone, this forest is really eerie, the already thin sunlight through the dense branches and leaves finally entered here but dissolved in the layers of mist, from time to time there will be a few strange screams, as if it is a beast, and it seems to be a forest wind, and then look at the ground, the color of this flower is also extremely demonic, do not forget the grass is overwhelming, as if also the flowing fog is also dyed into purple blue, the halo is mottled.

Looking up at the top of the mountain, there was no way to pass, it seemed that there were really few people in this forest who could enter, only Ling Ze, the native Dryad King, could survive here. But as I walked, I suddenly found that there were wisps of white silk thread wrapped around the low trees around me, it seemed that the strip of cloth should have been torn from the clothes before, and if you look closely, this material is very fine, it should be the clothes of my daughter's family, after a long time of wind and rain erosion, it has become so tattered now, but such a white silk thread is about 200 steps apart, and it is clearly tied to prevent yourself from getting lost.

So it's definitely not from Ling Ze's hand, so who could it be?

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Thousand Miasma Forest!" I was startled when someone spoke, and when I looked up, I was even more frightened, and a man dressed in withered vines and withered leaves glared at me angrily...... In fact, it is impossible to see whether he is angry anymore, his whole face is pimple, like a nodule on an old elm tree, and his appearance is extremely terrifying and ugly.

"I—I'm just...... You, you are... That ......"

Before I could organize the language, he waved his sleeves, and suddenly the vines around him seemed to come alive, and wrapped me tightly: "May I ask if Your Excellency is Ling Ze? I came to you on purpose!" At first glance, there is another altar here, and there are sacrifices on it, but it is not the same as the sacrifices of ordinary people, and it is full of some tiger heads and wolf bodies, probably because there are no poultry here.

There are also some little demons standing around: "King, this woman ......"

Ling Ze replied without raising his head: "She said that she came to me, it is estimated that she was sent by the ghost envoy, she is a dead person, so she is not afraid of miasma." ”

"Dead body, how could she ......?"

"Maybe it's because of the Eye of Hades, anyway, if you don't do my business, I'll take her blood sacrifice banner this time. "Just when I was amazed at Ling Ze's vast supernatural powers, he wanted to take my sacrificial flag, did I really have to die a second time?

So I shouted loudly: "Ling Ze! You know that I was sent by the ghost envoy, and you still dare to do this to me! Are you really not afraid that he will tick a mark on your life and death book?" He turned his head and glared at me, making me shiver with fright, at this time, don't say that you want to take my sacrificial flag, even if you cut me with a thousand knives, I don't dare to say a word.

"What about the ghost envoy? He had promised me a long time ago to help me find the reincarnation of the Tilt, but there was no news, every time I asked him, he was prevaricated and deceived by him, can you understand my feelings? 10,000 years, I waited 10,000 years to cultivate into a human form, but if there is no Tilt, what is the use of me becoming a human, and what is the difference between me and a tree?

The audience was silent, and I replied in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I don't know who it is yet." ”

"It's the owner of those silk threads in your hands!" "It turned out to be a girl who loved to wear white, and I ...... in the forest"

Before I could finish speaking, he interrupted: "It's not a white coat, it's a thin shirt of apricot pollen." Ten thousand years have passed in a blink of an eye, and her clothes have long been washed off by the rain, and I still remember the first time I saw her, running in the forest looking for medicinal herbs, covering her mouth and nose cautiously, plain and unpretentious, but full of fragrance...... It was also from that time that I had the idea of cultivating, and I wanted to be a person and grow old with her without panic.

It's a pity ......"

"It's a pity that she's white-headed, but you can still live alone for a thousand years?"

"No, it's just a pity that she died, still under my nose, do you know the feeling of powerlessness? Hearing her heart-rending screams, I could only stand as a tree, and I couldn't move like this, and I couldn't even cry without a sound. Hmph! When I cultivated 10,000 years, she was long gone. ”

"So you want to summon spirits for her? But do you know how much trouble you bring to others by doing this! The lonely souls and wild ghosts within a radius of hundreds of miles have gathered in the Thousand Miasma Forest, and the spiritual field has begun to be chaotic, I don't think it's funny, since she is gone, let her go well, why do you ...... it?"

Before I finished speaking, he was furious: "I know that you won't understand when I tell you, do you know what it means to die unexpectedly? Since she died unexpectedly, how can her soul enter the six realms of reincarnation with peace of mind? ”

"You disturbed the entire spiritual field in order to find her soul, how can you say that this is not selfish? Besides, in 10,000 years, people have long been wiped out, how can they still wait here?"

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to me, and the vines instantly tightened my neck, and my whole face turned red, and I couldn't say a word, and he said angrily: "I can feel her presence, and if anyone dares to say anything more, I will let him die an ugly death." ”

At this time, the little demons raised the spirit flag, and slowly opened a coffin behind the flag, I glanced inside, it was white bones! No, the white bones were full of wormholes like corals on the bottom of the sea, which were filled with black things like silt, and some blue-green moss was faintly seen above the skull, and the whole skeleton was incomplete, as if it had been recovered and pieced together piece by piece.

I finally understood what Xiao Huang said when he came back to the Thousand Miasma Forest in order to find out Zishu's marriage, the demon king Ling Ze was still digging the river as before, it turned out that he was actually trying to find this white bone!
