Chapter 11: You're out of the ordinary, aren't you?
On the Wutong Mountain Road, Huai Zhi'an and Pu Liuxian walked side by side in front, while the girl named Shanyu followed the two from a distance, and Wutong kept the house every day.
"Speaking of Pu Jushi, you only mentioned that you encountered an evil spirit, but you haven't said what the specific situation is?" Huai Zhi'an asked.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
"How so?" Speaking of this, Pu Liuxian's face became a little tangled. "It's weird, so weird that it's hard to understand below, that's why I went up the mountain to ask for the help of the trailmaster."
"What's weird?"
"Xiaodao Chief, you also know, Zai once said that I originally lived in Qulan Town, and planned to go to Chang'an City to participate in the imperial examination, and in my spare time on weekdays, I like to write some ghostly and strange words to relax."
"Weird?"
Huai Zhi'an was a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to have this way of relaxing, and he didn't expect the other party to write ghosts and monsters day and night, and he would really be found by ghosts.
It is slightly similar to "Ye Gong Good Dragon".
"That night, I was depressed, and the pen fell several times before the candle fire on the side of the desk, so I planned to go to the bamboo forest to find some inspiration." Pu Liuxian spoke softly about the strange things he had encountered.
"But there was a sudden fog in the forest, and in the middle of going around and around, I lost my way!"
"The fog of that night was extremely strange, so that I felt dizzy in my head, and I couldn't distinguish between north and south at all, so I could only take advantage of the moonlight to grope alone in the forest, but at that time, I met a woman in the forest!"
"That woman's beauty is really what I have seen in my life!"
The corners of Pu Liuxian's mouth rose, and even his eyes lit up slightly after mentioning this woman, as if starlight illuminated his eyes.
"The woman was wearing a thin shirt of color, with double straps hanging down at will on both sides of the placket, dancing in the wind, and the long green silk behind her was casually draped over her shoulders, pulling a delicate flowing cloud bun, inserting a carved jade hairpin, her skin was as white as snow, her red lips were like fire, and there was a gentle smile in her eyes."
"It's a beautiful person, clear and graceful! Sitting on the stone, she is more beautiful than the moonlight! ”
Listening to Pu Liuxian's description, Huai Zhi'an secretly smashed his mouth.
It is worthy of being a cultural person, and it is described as being cultured.
If I changed to Lao Liu, I was afraid that I would only saliva and say: "Hey, this girl is so handsome!" ”
Even the mountain language that followed unhurriedly behind him was attracted by Pu Liuxian's words, such a beautiful woman, even she had never seen it.
"Then the woman saw that after Zai Xia arrived, she said lightly to Zaixia, 'The son came just right, the concubine took a walk in the forest under the moon, but she didn't expect to accidentally break her foot, I hope the son can support the concubine'."
"It's so weird, it's best for the layman not to pay attention to it!" Huai Zhian said.
What girl from a good family would go for a walk in the woods in the middle of the night? How could you be defenseless against a strange man after you broke your foot?
"Ahem, of course, I'm naturally ...... Ahem. ”
Pu Liuxian blushed and coughed a few times in embarrassment.
"Could it be ......" Huai Zhi'an squinted at Pu Liuxian.
"The woman was alone in the woods, and she broke her foot, in case she met a bad person, so she was under the ...... I can't ignore it. Pu Liuxian whispered a defense.
If it's possible to meet a bad guy, why can't that bad guy be you?
Pu Liuxian didn't dare to look at Huai Zhi'an's gaze, and hurriedly continued: "After putting that girl on my back, I plan to send her home. ”
But when I asked where the girl's family lived, the girl pointed to the faint mansion in the misty forest and said that it was her home, and kindly invited her to go down to her house to rest and drink tea.
"When I got closer, I found that the mansion to which the girl was referring was dilapidated, claustrophobic, surrounded by dead trees, lifeless and inhabited."
After confirming again and again, the girl was sure that it was her home, and invited her to sit at home with a smile.
"Tsk, this is obviously a spider weaving web, please enter the urn, layman, but don't be fooled!"
Fog forests, ancient houses, dead trees, women, this is simply full of ghost elements, if Huai Zhi'an is there, he will turn around and leave on the spot, and he won't even look back, let alone go in.
"Ahem, of course, I'm naturally ...... Ahem. ”
Pu Liuxian blushed again and coughed in embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome! Keep talking! ”
Huai Zhi'an is also helpless, should you say that you are bold? Or do you want to die?
It's normal for Lao Liu to be unable to bear it, but you're a reader, or a reader who writes about ghosts and weirdness, why didn't you find the strangeness in this?
Behind him, Shanyu looked at Pu Liuxian's back with a look that was also a little wrong, looking at Pu Liuxian from a woman's point of view, it was indeed a little ......
"When I was drinking tea, I saw that the mansion was a little dirty, and the girl was afraid that it would be difficult to take care of it alone, and it was just a little cool at night, so she planned to warm up under the activity, so she cleaned the mansion."
"But the girl said that she was in poor health, and she planned to take a bath before resting."
"Huh?"
Huai Zhi'an is coming to the spirit, do you have to come to a favorite plot?
"The girl took a bath for a while, and suddenly called me and said, 'In the middle of the night, the concubine is afraid, can the son come into the house to accompany me'?"
"And this kind of thing!?" Huai Zhi'an's eyes widened. "Then this time you ......"
The mountain language behind him also quietly pricked up his ears.
Pu Liuxian's blood filled from his neck to his cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming red, and his hands were flustered: "Naturally, I didn't enter!" ”
Huai Zhi'an took a deep breath and felt his blood pressure full.
You guy, you entered faster than anyone else when you shouldn't, and you started to be a decent gentleman when you should enter!
"However, just as I was chanting 'Don't look at incivility, don't listen' and was about to leave, an old voice suddenly came from my ear, calling 'Xiaoqian.' ”
"After hearing this voice, the girl suddenly shouted, 'Oh no, it's grandma back,' and then ......"
"And then?"
Pu Liuxian gritted his teeth: "Then the girl actually dragged me into the room in the next handful and let me hide in the water, and when I almost suffocated in the water, it was the girl who brought fresh air to the bottom in the water." ”
"It's strange to say, it's the first time I've seen that girl, but for some reason, I have a strange, déjà vu feeling in my heart."
Huai Zhi'an and Shanyu both have strange eyes.
If the girl was bathing, then the only place in that room where there was water was ...... The only way to transport air underwater is ......
"But how does this story sound familiar?" Huai Zhi'an narrowed his eyes, feeling a little inexplicably familiar.
"And when I returned home in a drowsy state, the events of that day haunted me day and night, and even in my dreams, I often dreamed that no matter what I did, I always had the figure of that girl in my mind, and there was always an inexplicable feeling in my heart." Pu Liuxian's eyes were lowered, his expression was a little confused, and he was a little dazed.
"That's why I thought I might have bumped into a ghost that day, and the current situation is also caused by evil spirits."
At the same time, Huai Zhi'an also came to a mansion under the leadership of Pu Liuxian and stopped.
Huai Zhi'an raised his head, looked at the mansion in front of him with strange eyes, and the mountain language behind him looked at the mansion with a faint divine light in his eyes, with a trace of doubt on his face.
"Pu Jushi, are you sure...... Is this where you live? Huai Zhi'an asked.
"Of course, how can you even ...... the way home" After standing half a step in Huai Zhi'an, Pu Liuxian, who was in deep thought, came back to his senses with a smile in his tone.
But when Pu Liuxian looked up at everything in front of him, the smile on his face instantly turned into consternation, his mouth opened slightly, and there was disbelief in his eyes.
Dilapidated, claustrophobic, surrounded by dead trees, lifeless and inhabited.
"Here...... Not under the residence, here...... Isn't this the mansion of the girl named 'Xiao Qian'? Pu Liuxian couldn't understand.
"How did you get here?"
Huai Zhi'an sighed, as if he understood something, and Shanyu, who was following the two of them, also had a faint look on his face, and looked at Pu Liuxian with the same sad gaze.
Or rather, at the feet of Pu Liuxian.
Pu Liuxian followed the gaze of the two, and realized that it was obviously noon, and the sun was hanging high, but he was ...... under his feet There is not even a shadow at all!
Pu Liuxian also seemed to realize something, and her voice trembled: "Could it be that from beginning to end, the so-called evil is not Miss Xiaoqian, but ...... I!? ”
"Definitely." Huai Zhi'an on the side shook his head. "Look closer."
Pu Liuxian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that not only did he have no shadow, but also that the Taoist chief and the mountain girl on the side had no shadow.
One person without a shadow is a ghost, and three people without a shadow can't all three people be ghosts, right?
Pu Liuxian breathed a sigh of relief, but then doubts rose in his heart: "Then this is ......"
"It's an illusion." Shanyu, who had not spoken since he left the Taoist temple, suddenly spoke at this time.
Pu Liuxian blinked his eyes and looked at Huai Zhi'an in front of him.
"Well, everything is ...... Illusion. ”
Huai Zhi'an's eyes were calm, and then under the gaze of Pu Liuxian and Shanyu-
Draw your sword and slash out!
