Chapter 76: A Modest Probationary Method

"Please borrow a fire to drive away evil spirits and continue the day." I saw the little ghost carrying an empty lantern, standing in front of the fire, respectfully, and saluting.

"......" silently, the lantern was lit up. Song You also felt wonderful when he looked at it.

"Thank you, the god of the mountain." The little ghost bowed again, then turned to Song You, and said with a smile: "It's done, please come with me, and send you outside the market town." ”

"Okay." Song You followed him, chatting as he went.

"Footsteps are from the former dynasty?"

"How does the Daoist know?"

"It's called different."

"How?"

"Since Dayan, the people love to call Taoist priests and folk Xuanmen Mr."

"I see, then I'll call you sir too."

"Feel free."

"Then let's call the Taoist." The little ghost walked in front with a lantern, and the ground reflected a piece of firelight, just like the color of dusk: "I am indeed a person from the previous dynasty, but when I was born in the last years of the previous dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, demons and ghosts were frequent, when I walked to this mountain with my father, I was accidentally eaten by a tiger, so I became a ghost." But soon the spring opened, and the thunder stung, the evil tiger ate people, and had an evil spirit, and was taken away by God, because I had never harmed anyone, and escaped a catastrophe, and then regained my freedom, and slowly lived in this mountain, and found that there was a world between this mountain. ”

"This is the world of goblins and goblins."

"Yes, in this world, it is rare for us goblins and ghosts to have such a world."

"Alas......" Song You only sighed. This is a world where humanity is paramount, and it undoubtedly squeezes the space of goblins and monsters, but he is a human being, so how can he say it?

"Dao Elder doesn't have to be like this, although I am a ghost, I was also a human being." The imp smiled,

"It's not bad to be a wild ghost in this mountain, although in recent years, Taoists have often come to this mountain to catch ghosts, but we are often not embarrassed by these ghosts. And there are countless goblins and ghosts in this mountain, and the bitterness is the bitterness, and it is not so boring, and it is not more stubborn than the human world. ”

"This trip was an eye-opener."

"It's not worth an accident, although we are spirits and ghosts, but since we have opened our minds, we also have our lives!"

"Reasonable." In the middle of the conversation, they have come to the edge of the market town. The little ghost stopped, smiled and raised the lantern, and asked, "Do you remember the way you came?" Song You took the lantern from him.

"Vaguely remembered."

"Be careful along the way."

"It's a great pleasure to meet you tonight."

"Am I not?" Since it is a casual encounter, a casual conversation, and when the time comes, they will naturally separate, which is really needless to say.

Salute each other, salute this fate, say goodbye, and leave. The little ghost returned to the market town, and Song You also walked into the night.

The lantern illuminated a small area, the cracks and weeds on the dry dirt road were clearly visible, and there were many shadows on the side of the road, and there were people coming behind him, walking into the fog ahead, and there were also people in the fog ahead, with a pair of surprised or puzzled eyes, he passed by Song You and went to the market.

Song You touched the horse's neck: "Do you remember how to go back?" The horse did not speak, but silently raised its hooves and moved forward.

Song You smiled.

"Thanks to you." The three-flowered cat followed them with small steps, looking up at him, and also looking up at the goblins and ghosts coming and going on the side of the road, except for the body that kept moving forward, and the eyes, neck, and head followed them.

"The boss who sold incense just now, you kept staring at others, it's really rude." Song You said as he walked,

"People have attained the Tao, and after they become essences, they will no longer be ordinary animals, you better not look at people like that, it will scare people."

"That's a mouse!"

"Everything in the world, whether it is a demon or a spirit, as long as the spirit is complete, it is the same as a human. If you eat them, it's like eating people, and you'll be tainted with evil spirits, and heaven will not tolerate them. ”

"I'm just looking!"

"It's rude."

"......" the kitten was silent, as if thinking, so the pace also slowed down, a little behind, and after thinking clearly, he immediately ran in small steps to catch up, and shook his head at the same time: "Slightly slightly~" read a slightly slightly sound, but it was a very rude three-word tone.

It's also amazing to go all the way out. This is really a world of goblins and ghosts, except for those goblins and goblins who have rules and regulations to build a market town in the middle, there are also countless small things on this road that are not good enough and lack wisdom.

Song You saw a kind of little elf, with erect limbs, like a human form, and looked different from people, only palm-high, with a small house about the size of a palm behind him, and he was in a hurry, neither from the market town nor to the market town, but only along the road.

The fog is so vast that I don't know where I'm going, and I don't know why. I also saw a little person walking on the trunk of the tree with an umbrella, it was the appearance of a delicate woman, and the umbrella was also a flower umbrella, but she walked upside down on the trunk, with her head down and her feet up, stepping on the lower edge of the trunk.

I don't know why it doesn't fall. I don't know why I have to use an umbrella, not only can the umbrella not cover the rain, but when it rains, I am afraid that it will rain.

There are also people who shout as they walk. These people were also very small, a little smaller than a palm, with erect limbs, as if in human form, and they were born differently from men, and their bodies were almost naked, with only two or three strips of cloth, which could be said to be a cover, and this strip of cloth did not cover their vital point, but was wrapped in other places.

I couldn't understand what they were saying, but their voices were harsh and intense, but there was nothing in front of them, as if they were talking to the air.

Interestingly, they only talk like this when no one is looking, and when someone sees them, they immediately shut up.

At first, Song You thought they were talking to him, and after looking at them several times, these little people shouted and were quiet several times.

Song You found it interesting and puzzled, and later saw other goblins and spirits walking by on the road, and realized that this was probably their nature.

"Taoist, I seem to have been poisoned by eating mushrooms!"

"You didn't eat at all."

"Yes...... "yes" is getting farther and farther away from the market town. There are fewer pedestrians on the roadside. There is a lot of fog in front of him, a lot of fog behind him, and the light on the mountain path gradually decreases, only this firefly, slowing down in the mountains.

I can vaguely tell that it is still the way before. I don't know when, I can't see any other light in my sight except myself, and occasionally I can vaguely discern a little, but I can barely see it in the fog, and evil things begin to follow around.

"Taoist priest......" Sanhua cat reminded in a whisper.

"It's fine." Song You carried the lantern and continued to walk forward. In the darkness and mist, they could not see the appearance of evil creatures, and with the deterrence of the lantern fire, they did not dare to get too close, but they could only faintly see the shadows hidden in the darkness, and could hear their breathing, or could hear them making subtle inaudible and incomprehensible sounds, so as to perceive their existence.

But it seems that the living are far more attracted to them than the goblins and ghosts that often come and go in the mountains, and gradually they gather more and more.

This thing is the same as people, once there are more of them, they will be bold. So they began to get closer and closer to the fire.

"There are more and more ......," Sanhua Mao whispered to Song You. Her body was already tense, her hair was starting to stand on end, and she wondered if she could scare them away if she spit out a breath of fire.

Gradually, their figures had appeared on the periphery of the firelight, and they could be seen clearly in the dim light.

Sure enough, it is varied and strangely shaped. Or the evil things born between heaven and earth due to different coincidences, or the yin ghosts full of resentment, or the entity, or the illusory figure, or the human form, or the twisted, some are good-looking, some are ugly, some only retain the attack and predatory instinct like evil beasts, and some have a distorted mind and can understand human speech.

There are those who know, and there are those who don't. Some can also be used in medicine, the whole body is used in medicine, and some of them are used in medicine, and the medicine made is infinitely useful, such as not telling lies and becoming bolder.

Even some of them can be cooked directly if they are caught, and they also have peculiar effects. In the market town in front of them, there were things about them, or some evil things turned into after death, or a part of their bodies, and there was a feeling that everything could be cooked and medicated.

The premise is that you can catch it, you can decoct the medicine, and you dare to mouth. Don't associate them with goblins.

Elves and goblins don't like them and even fear them. Their image in the hearts of goblins and ghosts is not much different from the image in people's hearts, and goblins and ghosts are similar to people in their eyes, the biggest difference is that most of them are somewhat Taoist and not so easy to deal with.

In the face of this scene, I am afraid that many goblins and ghosts in the market town will also be frightened, either carrying lanterns and walking back, or they have to find other ways to get out.

Song You was fearless, watching as he walked. Gradually, they have been surrounded by a circle, three layers inside and three layers outside.

Even the jujube red horse began to feel uneasy, and repeatedly turned its head to look at Song You, and when Song You smiled at it and comforted it, it was relieved and continued to raise its hooves forward.

These evil spirits are undoubtedly afraid of this lantern. If the lantern flame does not move, they do not move, only staring greedily outside.

The lantern flame took a step forward, and those behind them rushed forward, and those in front of them took a step back, and some were even squeezed until they fell to the ground and crawled backwards.

The bold and brainless began to frequently aim at the shadow on the side of the red horse, wanting to jump into the shadow.

"Heh......" Song You laughed twice, suddenly spoke up, and asked them curiously: "Do you want to eat us?" There was no answer for a moment.

The evil only stares at them. The greed in the eyes says it all. Song You was not satisfied with this silent answer, shook his head with a smile, raised the lantern in his hand, and said, "If you answer me, I will extinguish it." Some of the demons who could understand looked at each other, then their eyes bulged, and strange voices sounded one after another: "Yes! ”

"Yes......"

"Yes!"

"......" Song You shook his head amusedly: "You are so stupid, this lantern can't burn you, what are you afraid of?" But he was also trustworthy—he just stopped, lifted the lantern and blew it.

The flame in the "......" lantern was suddenly extinguished. The only light in the mountains was gone, and it became a dead silence, oppressive and breathless black.

In the darkness, the group of evil spirits immediately rushed to the middle like the tide of the embankment, rushing forward one after another, excitedly rushing towards the one in the middle, one horse and one cat, and squeezing and shouting.

"Canopy!" Suddenly, the mountain was lit up again. This light is not white light, not green light, blue light, purple light, but a bright yellow, yellow, red and shining fire.

This fire did not come from front to back, nor from left to right, but it lit up from every place around the body, in all directions, everywhere, and instantly illuminated half of the mountain.

Along with the fire, there is an overwhelming fire. and some evil things have been turned into nothingness.
