Chapter 77 Lan Xueying turned around and said, "No, grandpa, yes."
Lan Xueying turned around and said, "No, grandpa, it's a person who came to Taiyi Mountain to travel and wants to stay with us for one night." ”
Lan Shangdao came to the door and looked Chu Fan up and down, he judged from Chu Fan's face and eyes that Chu Fan was not a person with bad intentions, and let his guard down a little, "Young man, why did you come to this deep mountain alone?" ”
Chu Fan naturally couldn't tell the truth, "I have been very interested in the hermits of Taiyi Mountain since I was a child, and I happened to be free during this time, so I came to visit and came here by chance. ”
Lan Shangdao suddenly felt that he had the same interests as Chu Fan, and he was completely wary, "Little brother, come in, there are many people living in seclusion in this Taiyi Mountain, and it is also fate that you can find me here, it is indeed late now, and the nearest people here are more than ten miles, so you can live here." ”
Lan Xueying was anxious, "Grandpa, have you forgotten that our house has been haunted for the past two days, what if you harm others?" ”
Lan Shangdao smiled and said: "Yingying, you are just making too much fuss, although the so-called ghost has not come to make trouble at night in the past two days, but didn't it hurt the two of us, thinking that this ghost is not harmful, it should be no big problem." ”
"Grandpa, if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if, how do you know that ghost won't hurt people?"
Lan Xueying was somewhat helpless about her grandfather, just like her grandfather's name, Shang Dao, her grandfather had advocated cultivating immortals since he was a child, and his younger elders opposed it, and when he was older, he took over the family business and had no time, so he handed over all the family business to his children and grandchildren in his fifties, and asked for immortals everywhere.
For more than ten years, Lan Shangdao visited dozens of so-called masters, immortals, and masters, and many of them took the initiative to come to the door, Lan Shangdao was excited at first, and then gradually disappointed, and finally numb, and slowly found that these people are all liars, most of them rely on one mouth, and the advanced ones will also engage in some magic tricks and chemical reactions.
For more than ten years, Lan Shangdao spent countless money, but in the end he didn't see a real immortal, and finally stopped asking for immortals, but ran to this Taiyi Mountain alone to live in seclusion, and practiced alone, of course, it was also a secular Taoism.
Although he failed to cultivate into an immortal, but after retiring from the commercial battlefield and living in seclusion in this deep mountain, Lan Shangdao gradually became at ease, but liked the current life, and did not pursue any cultivation of immortals, and began to go with the flow, but had the artistic conception of Taoist tranquility and self-condensation.
During this time, Lan Xueying was on vacation from school, and ran to this mountain to accompany her grandfather, but what she didn't expect was that within two days of coming, this place actually began to be haunted, and before night, a ghost came out to scare people, but it didn't hurt people.
Lan Xueying was very frightened, worried all day long, Lan Shangdao was also scared at first, fortunately, although he was older, his physical condition had always been very good, otherwise he might have been scared of a heart attack.
But soon, Lan Shangdao became excited, the reason was that there were ghosts in this world, and there must be immortals, and he had asked for immortals all his life, but now he saw hope in a ghost, which was really a bit ironic.
Just yesterday, there were suddenly a few Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes, wearing golden Taoist crowns, stepping on cloud boots, and carrying long swords, Taoist robes are different from any kind of Taoist robes in Lan Shangdao's cognition, and Taoist crowns are not common five old crowns, yellow crowns, five mountain crowns, star crowns and lotus crowns, etc., several people are young and middle-aged, but they are all fairy wind bones.
The people who came were full of arrogance, almost looking at people with their nostrils, and they were cold to Lan Shangdao and Lan Xueying, and only one young man was full of fiery desire in his eyes when he looked at Lan Xueying.
The young man said that they came from the Fulongguan in the depths of Taiyi Mountain, and they were legendary immortals who could help their grandparents catch ghosts.
Lan Shangdao was excited, thinking that he would be a blessing in disguise, and he actually saw a real immortal, but the next sentence of the immortal made Lan Shangdao angry, and the young Taoist actually said that if he wanted them to help catch ghosts, he needed to marry Lan Xueying to him and become a Taoist couple.
If it were an ordinary family, he might still think that it was a great honor to let his granddaughter marry an immortal, but Lan Shangdao was angry and disappointed in the legendary immortal, and even had the idea of giving up cultivation for a moment.
Inviting Chu Fan into the house, Lan Xueying made tea, and Lan Shangdao asked, "Where did this come from, little brother?" ”
Chu Fan said truthfully: "I'm from Qin City." ”
Lan Shangdao and Lan Xueying glanced at each other, and their smiles became even brighter, "Coincidentally, we are also from Qin City, I don't know what the little brother is called?" ”
"Chu Fan."
"Chu Fan?" Lan Xueying said in surprise.
Lan Shangdao looked at his granddaughter, "What, do you know this little brother?" ”
Lan Xueying shook her head and said: "I don't know, but I've heard of this name, there is a very famous Chu Fan in our Qin City, who is the son-in-law of the Yun family of a second-rate family, and it is said that he is a wreck, it shouldn't be him." ”
Chu Fan nodded and said calmly: "It's me, my wife's name is Yun Jue." ”
Lan Xueying was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, I didn't mean to say that you were a wreck." ”
Chu Fan smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it doesn't matter, I've been used to it for the past three years, it's just a reputation, I don't care how others like it, it doesn't matter to me, it doesn't affect me." ”
After listening to Chu Fan's words, Lan Shangdao recognized Chu Fan even more, "Little brother is generous, live and understand, old man Lan Shangdao." ”
Chu Fan nodded slightly as a greeting, and said lightly: "Mr. Lan praised it falsely." ”
Lan Shangdao looked at Chu Fan in surprise, and said suspiciously: "You don't know the old man?" ”
Chu Fan was slightly stunned, and randomly guessed that Lan Shangdao should be very famous in Qin City, but he really didn't know, so he had to say truthfully: "The reason why I have been rumored to be a wreck in the past three years is because of three."
Over the years, I have been almost isolated from the world, only cooking and doing housework in the Yun family, taking care of the diet and daily life of my wife's family, so I really don't know Mr. Lan.
Lan Shangdao nodded and said, "I see, then have you ever heard of the Lan family in Qin City?" ”
Speaking of the Lan family, Lan Shangdao couldn't help but sit up straight, and a sense of pride arose.
Chu Fan smiled and said: "If it was not long ago, I really didn't know, I recently dealt with the Ruan family, and learned about the four major families in Qin City from Ruan Ji, and the Lan family, as the number one family among the four major families in Qin City, naturally heard of it."
Lan Shangdao was a little surprised that Chu Fan called Ruan's name directly, and his tone was very natural, but he didn't open his mouth to inquire about the relationship between Chu Fan and the Ruan family, and it was easy to annoy people when he asked about other people's affairs, "The old man is the head of the Lan family, and she is my granddaughter Lan Xueying." ”
"It turned out to be the head of the Lan family, disrespectful and disrespectful." Chu Fan said polite words, but his tone was still flat.
Lan Shangdao looked at Chu Fan a little higher, "Why did the little brother come to Taiyi Mountain?" ”
When interacting with people, the most taboo is to speak shallowly and deeply, and Chu Fan naturally will not tell the truth.
"Visit the scenic spots, and visit the hermit by the way!"
Lan Shangdao said with some envy: "The little brother is so young, he actually has a natural state of mind of Taoism, the old man is not as good as you!" ”
Chu Fan secretly said in his heart: I am more than 10,000 years old, if you count the days of confusion in chaos, I don't know how old I am, how old are you and me?
Chu Fan didn't want to continue on this topic, so he took the initiative to change the topic, "Mr. Lan, I don't know what you said about the haunting before?" What Miss Lan said is very sincere, it doesn't seem to be a fake, could it be a real haunting? ”
Speaking of the haunting, the expressions of the grandfather and grandson became gloomy.
"Don't hide it from my little brother, I have been living here for two or three years, and I have been living together in peace and pure practice, but just a few days ago, the day after my granddaughter came here to accompany me, I began to haunt here, fortunately, the ghost only appeared at night, and it didn't hurt anyone, except for being a little scary and affecting rest."
Chu Fan frowned slightly, most wandering ghosts are unconscious, only instinctive, it is impossible to only scare people without hurting people, and among the ghosts that have self-awareness, there are indeed some ghosts with relatively good hearts who do not hurt people, but basically they will hide and practice, and rarely come out to scare people.
And those powerful ghosts who have consciousness are even more unlikely to only scare people without harming people, they will take the initiative to harm human beings and suck yang qi or souls.
Like the kind of ghosts that the Lan family encountered, which is only scary and not hurtful, it can't be said that there are none, but they are extremely rare, and it can only be some children who were naughty by nature before death, and after death, the ghost accidentally cultivated his consciousness and became a naughty and kind-hearted naughty ghost.
"What does that ghost you see look like?"
As if remembering the appearance of the ghost, Lan Xueying couldn't help but shrink her neck, her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked a little scared, "That ghost looks like a middle-aged man, but it's a little illusory, how to describe it, it's like ...... It's like ......"
Chu Fan spoke: "It's like a figure formed by a cloud of mist, and the head is relatively condensed at the beginning. ”
Lan Xueying hurriedly said: "That's right, that's what it looks like, alas, how do you know?" ”
Chu Fan realized that he had accidentally slipped his mouth, so he had to say: "I have also seen ghosts before, so I am sure that there are immortals in this world, so I ran to Taiyi Mountain to find immortals and asked." ”
Lan Xueying and Lan Shangdao both suddenly realized, "I see." ”
Chu Fan muttered secretly: This is strange, the ghost is still in an illusory state, which means that it has not yet reached the level of being able to generate consciousness, and it should be a wandering ghost with only instinct.
It is very reasonable to only appear at night, but it is very abnormal to only scary people but not to harm people, this kind of lonely soul and wild ghost with only instinct, once it encounters people, it will definitely be driven by instinct to possess the human body, or suck people's yang energy or soul.
"In addition to the ghosts coming out to scare you these days, are there any other strange things?"
"It's a strange thing, it's really something to say, but I don't know if it's strange, just the day after the ghost appeared, a few Taoist priests came to our house, saying that it was from Fulongguan in the depths of Taiyi Mountain, and they could help us catch ghosts, but ......" Lan Xueying blushed and couldn't say it.
Lan Shangdao's face was gloomy, and he said angrily: "One of those Taoist priests, a young Taoist priest, actually said that if you want them to help catch ghosts, you must marry my granddaughter to him as a Taoist couple!" What kind of fairy is this! ”
Chu Fan suddenly said, "This makes sense!" ”
"What explains?" Lan Xueying said curiously.
"Now that you have encountered ghosts and so-called immortals have come to your door, you can be regarded as having come into contact with the other side of this world, and I can also tell you some things." Chu Fan said.
Lan Xueying and Lan Shangdao glanced at each other, realizing what big secret they might hear next, and their expressions were relatively solemn.
Chu Fan said slowly: "As you guessed, there are indeed ghosts and immortals in this world, but the immortals in your mouth are actually immortal cultivators, there are many sects of immortal cultivators, and the spells are different. ”
