"If you are a demon in the mountains, you can only tell us what you want. We have been on this road for decades, and we will continue to walk for decades, and we can bring you whatever you want. I can't say that every time I pass by here in the future, I can sit down and have a cup of tea with you. The merchant lobbied to Song,

"If you want to do evil, in broad daylight, there are a lot of us, not easy to bully, not stupid, will not be fooled by you, or persuade you to put out this mind and find someone else."

"I misunderstood, I'm really human."

"How?"

"It's true, why prove it?"

"Do you dare to point at Lei Gong to speak?"

"There is a mountain god in this mountain, why do you point to Lei Gong?"

"Which mountain god? But the villain doesn't know ......"

"Well, which Lei Gong do you want to refer to?"

"How is Zhou Leigong?" Song You smiled and came casually: "Then please ask Zhou Leigong to be in Mingjian, if I am not a human, it would be good if the thunder struck me." ”

The "......" merchants looked at each other again. I know in my heart that this kind of oath may not have much real effect, but when Song You comes to the face, he is gentle and polite, even if he is a demon and a ghost, he does not look like a vicious kind, plus a Taoist robe, and he also brought a jujube red horse when he walked in the mountains, and he was able to swear calmly, which also made them breathe a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, if the other party is really a demon and dares to do something to a group of them in broad daylight, and turns into a human appearance, it will not be shallow if they want to do it, then they can only consider themselves unlucky.

It's better to be kind, don't anger others, and it's best not to have conflicts.

"Misunderstanding sir! How offended! ”

"Where." Song You hurriedly said to them: "You should be cautious when walking on barren mountains. "This kind of life-saving philosophy of a businessman, even if Song You has encountered it many times, he will still find it interesting every time.

"Mr. is not familiar with the road, but he dares to walk alone in the barren mountains, he is not a demon, he must be a master, I don't know where to practice?"

"It's not a master, it's just a trip to Fangdao, and he originally practiced in Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"There are other ways to Pingzhou, why did Mr. take this one?"

"When I go to Xiangle County, I'll go this way."

"There are youkai on this road."

"Be bold."

"Where did Mr. sleep last night?"

"There is no owner in the barren mountains, and you can stay overnight everywhere."

"Sure enough, the artist is bold."

"If you are calm in your heart, you will not be afraid of demons and ghosts." Song You looked at this group of merchants with a smile,

"Aren't you all leaving?"

"We?" The merchant and Song You talked back and forth, although they did not relax their vigilance, but they also felt that he was not like a demon and ghost, and he was no longer on guard everywhere, so he only shook his head and said: "We are used to walking, we know where to spend the night, and we can go to the city or the edge of the military town if we walk faster and slower one day." Second, we have no way, and this road is the closest to Pingzhou and Xuzhou. Although the other road is easy to walk, but it is much farther, although there are no goblins and ghosts on that road, but the mountain bandits and bandits are not necessarily better than goblins and ghosts, we are just making some hard-earned money, how can there be so many choices. ”

"Reasonable."

"Sir, have you heard that every year someone walks this road and disappears inexplicably, and every year someone encounters a ghost here?"

"I want to hear about it." Song You looked at the group of merchants, the pot in front of him where the ham mushroom soup was boiling was still bubbling, and the heat was rising, he said to them, "Do you want a bowl of hot soup?" Good dry food. The merchant immediately refused.

Song You picked up the banana leaves wrapped in wild fruits again: "I also have some wild fruits picked in the mountains, do you want to taste them?" The merchant still refused.

Song You was not surprised, and he didn't ask twice. Walking between the mountains and meeting strangers, whether it is a human or a demon, it is okay to talk a few words, but whether it is a human or a demon, how dare you eat each other's things casually?

Gangsters have drugs, monsters have methods, and it is common to use the means of fainting people to eat and drink. Song You only asked symbolically.

When the etiquette arrives, it's done. I only heard the tanned merchant say: "I don't know those who walk this road and only see people entering the mountain but not leaving the mountain, whether they are eaten by monsters, tigers and wolves, or accidentally fall down and die while walking on the edge of a cliff?" I only know that my second uncle passed here last year, but he saw countless goblins and ghosts. A young man on the side immediately asked, "What goblins and ghosts?" How did you meet? ”

"It's not bold yet! It's not that you can't stay idle! The merchant shook his head,

"I've been on this road for decades, and I haven't encountered anything wrong, so I feel nothing. That day, I walked slowly and didn't get to the place where I should go, so I thought that I would spend one night in the mountains, but in the middle of the night I felt that there was light inexplicably, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was actually sleeping in a market town, the lights were very bright, there were stalls and open storefronts everywhere, people came and went, and everyone carried a kind of lantern in their hands. ”

"What lantern?" The boy asked, with wide eyes.

"It's just a very ordinary lantern, and it doesn't have any shape. It has little to do with lanterns, it's the people who carry them. The merchant said,

"At first glance, I think these people are people, but if you look closely, where are they?"

"What's that?"

"Fairy ghosts, there are everything, at most there are people who become humans, but do you think, who will come here in the middle of the night to catch the collection of goblins and ghosts?"

"And then?"

"My second uncle was scared stupid. Then a ghost in poor clothes came to him and talked to him, but where could he speak? Later, he was brought out by the ghost with his clothes. In the end, it was only the next day that Lao Xu and their team passed by there, and saw my second uncle on the side of the road, so they brought him back. The merchant said,

"I came back and had a serious illness, and now it's good, but don't talk about walking this road again, even if I ask him to go around the village at night, he doesn't dare to take it out and talk about it every time he eats with us."

"Really?"

"I don't think it's fake, this road is inherently evil, and I've heard that some people have encountered similar things before." The merchant paused for a moment, and remained silent,

"But goblins and ghosts aren't necessarily all bad, just like what my second uncle met, it was obvious that he accidentally broke into someone else's place, but others didn't harm him, and they didn't do anything to him, but they brought him out."

"......" Song You felt that this merchant seemed to be ordering himself, and he felt funny and funny in his heart for a while.

The two teenagers' eyes widened and they listened with relish. The merchant told them again: "Therefore, when you take over our work in the future, you must remember, don't walk at night, don't sleep in the mountains, otherwise you will get into a ghost, and you may not have such good luck." After a pause, he added: "There is really no way to meet it, you must remember that goblins and ghosts are the same as people, most of them are also reasonable, don't offend others, don't anger others, be respectful and polite to others, people will not easily harm you." "Okay, order again.

Song You didn't say anything, just served a bowl and drank soup. The two teenagers had an aftertaste and nodded again and again. One of the young men was bold, and he looked at Song You and asked tentatively, "Has Mr. heard of something similar?" Didn't meet last night, did you? ”

"I've heard about it. It is said that they are open here in the second half of the February, May, August, and winter months. Song You only answered halfway, and then looked at the middle-aged merchant again,

"But the foot is right, walking on the barren mountains should try to avoid walking at night, it is really unavoidable, and you should cover your head tightly at night, don't run around and look around, and strayed into the world of demons and ghosts, after all, it is not good for people. In case you encounter them, you should also remember that the goblins also have a heart, and don't treat them as flood beasts or dirty things as soon as they come up. ”

"Isn't it......" The middle-aged businessman's eyes flashed, thoughtful. It wasn't until he heard this sentence that he confirmed that the Taoist in front of him should not be a demon, and even if he was, he should be a kind one.

Then he said: "I just don't know when this demon will open the market, how does Mr. know?" ”

"I heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not." Song You shook his head with a smile,

"You can try to avoid it in the future, or you can tell it to the foot merchants on this road, but don't spread it too far, lest those fools who yearn for goblins come to find it and encounter danger again."

"Yes......" Song You raised his head and drank the soup. After adding ham, the soup is really fresher, and even the color of the soup has changed a little, but unfortunately, the old hen should be used as the soup base, and then boiled into the mushrooms and ham, that is beautiful.

This is the last bite. After Song You finished drinking, he went to the mountain spring to wash the dishes. When they came back, this group of merchants had basically rested enough, and they didn't want to stay any longer, so they had to continue on the road.

Song You then stopped on the side of the road and said goodbye to them.

"Go first!"

"Farewell!" A group of men and horses and mules passed by him. The dark-faced merchant couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.

This way of people and girls is strange. If it is said that people's faces are white and pure, and there are no traces of wind and sun, they can only say that their voice is dusty.

But the girl was extraordinarily beautiful, her skin was white and glowing, there was no trace of tanning and redness, and there was no dust or dirt on her face, which was extremely rare for a child in this year, not to mention walking in the mountains, eating and sleeping in the open.

There are many fairy gods and ghosts in Pingzhou, and there are often demons and ghosts in this mountain, and it is normal to recognize them as demons and ghosts at first.

As for now, it's either a demon or a master! It's just the last thing this man said...... At this moment, the merchant saw the man turn around and pack his things, wipe the pots and pans and put them in the quilt bag, and put the quilt bag on the horse's back, and on the quilt bag was hung a lantern with a simple shape.

Isn't it late February? The Taoist turned his head to look at him. The merchant was stunned for a moment, and wanted to quickly withdraw his gaze, but he stopped by surprise, and instead arched his hand in that direction.

"What's wrong, Uncle Yang?"

"Nothing."

"Why did you give him up again?"

"Let's go." The merchant shook his head, still feeling that way in his heart - this little gentleman is either a demon or a master.

It's just that no matter whether it is a demon or a master, when you have Taoism, conduct, and sincerity to help others, you can be called a fairy.
