Chapter 50: Xiao Pei

In the eyes of the Qianjia family, whether it is a Han or a demon, as long as it represents the good side, it is to help each other, speaking of which, it is a real chivalrous warrior, a chivalrous man in the road of demons.

Chi Tang recalled that all his fellow disciples, Ji Rui and Xue Yang, in the face of the robbery of Qishan Mountain, stayed without hesitation and fought hard, isn't this the behavior of a chivalrous man? Gan Fei, in the ghost world of the Moon Spirit Ghost General, saved Mo Yumei, who was tragically poisoned, and he was even fatally injured by the poison of the ghost snake, isn't this also the behavior of a chivalrous man? Guo Qihuai and Xing Yu, although they have never seen them make a move, but their mind-blowing temperament is no different from chivalry?

It seems that entering the Qianjia family is really the right one, and looking at the lonely and arrogant Heyu Gate, the Qingqi of the Zihan Courtyard, and the desperate door in this place to see the profit and forget the righteousness, Chi Tang can't help but perk up, so he will be the hero of this demon road, how magnificent?

The white shadow in the house flickered, and Chi Tang and Xue Yang realized at the same time that they were not the only ones in the house.

I saw the white shadow female ghost sitting on the side of the kang, looking at her expression, she was listening attentively.

"I'm really sorry, Miss Pei'er, our senior brothers talked to each other, and there was a lot of neglect. Chi Tang was in a much better mood, and he was able to figure out the key points of the joints before, and the spirit god couldn't help it, so he apologized to the white shadow female ghost with a soothing movement, and he still remembered that Feng Yingxiu had called her Sister Pei'er when he handed over the female ghost.

"My surname is Cao, my name is Xiaopei, you can call me Xiaopei, you don't have to call me Sister Pei'er like my sister of the Feng family. This female ghost named Cao Xiaopei is extremely graceful and elegant at the moment, which is very different from the terrifying and vicious appearance of that season.

Therefore, Chi Tang and Xue Yang, who suddenly seemed to be light-hearted after dissecting the straight and clarifying the main point, both laughed, and Xue Yang said loudly: "Hello, Miss Xiaopei, I always thought you were the kind of fierce female ghost, I didn't expect it, and this virtuous and quiet side." ”

Xiao Pei only nodded slightly at Xue Yang's quip: "I always felt that you were like those vulgar and vulgar men in the rivers and lakes, but these days I have seen what you have done, as well as the conversation you just had, you are all kind men who are outstanding, yes, you can't always make conclusions about people based on your first impression, right?"

These words not only praised Chi Tang and Xue Yang, but also made a good response to Xue Yang's jokes, Chi Tang was secretly surprised, he thought that this Xiao Pei was just an accomplice of bullying big families with Feng Yingxiu, although he didn't necessarily have bad intentions, but most of them were just ordinary women who knew the customs (whether it was a woman or a female ghost, Chi Tang felt that it was most appropriate to refer to women collectively), how could he know that words and deeds were so extraordinary?

Xue Yangha smiled: "What Miss Xiaopei said is that I thank you." ”

"Your conversation is very interesting, I have also met some demon warriors with the sister of the Feng family, they are not as transparent as you think, if you want me to say, it is simply an elm head, I only know that the way is blindly subduing demons and catching ghosts, and never thinking about whether the demons and ghosts they must get rid of quickly are really heinous. ”

"Oh, listen to Miss Xiaopei, and have also dealt with the characters in the Demon Dao?" The original topic has ended, and the light-hearted Chi Tang is no longer entangled in the depression of the old things, on the contrary, he is now very interested in talking to this faint and floating female ghost girl.

"Why not? Once a bearded guy saw Mi Li and Meimei, he said that the two of them had a supernatural aura and were unlucky things, and he wanted to kill them. The beauty in Xiao Pei's mouth is the gray rabbit who is used to eavesdropping on people's voices around Feng Yingxiu, and as for the rice grains, as we all know, it is the swift and ghostly female squirrel. "Fortunately, they ran fast, and the bearded man couldn't catch up, and they had a big quarrel with the Feng girl. Another time I met a Taoist priest, I saw that I was hiding in the glass bottle of the Feng family girl, and he was about to do magic and fight in a hurry, and wanted to go outside me, and he also mysteriously said to the Feng family sister that she was contaminated with evil spirits, and he wanted to help her get rid of evil spirits. ”...,

Chi Tang sighed secretly, isn't this the performance of some people in the Demon Dao in the previous conversation with Xue Yang? Because of the difference in race, he didn't ask if he wanted to eradicate it, and he didn't ask if the other party had a way to die.

"Hello to you, I think you are really sorry for the sheep demon after he died, it's hard to imagine that you have only known each other for an hour or two, but you seem to treat him as a friend. Between people, this is possible, but between people and demons, this is the first time I have seen it. ”

The white-faced scholar's witty and tranquil speech and demeanor really made Chi Tang feel very good, so that sometimes he ignored the fact that the other party was an aries, and when the white-faced scholar revealed his longing for the future years, more or less, Chi Tang really had the feeling of being a friend. Because of this, when the white-faced scholar died in the hands of the earthly desperate people in the blink of an eye, Chi Tang was so angry.

Xue Yang said slowly: "Humans, demons and ghosts, and even all kinds of birds and beasts, are actually the spirits of heaven and earth, but the races are different, but it doesn't mean that the races are different, they are as deep as a ravine, and they don't share the sky. People can also become friends with like-minded demons, just like the Feng family girl and you in your mouth, and the squirrel rabbit, aren't they all friends who have a deep friendship? Miss Xiaopei, what is the matter between you and the wind girl? Will you tell us?"

Xiao Pei smiled: "My story with her is a long story, do you really want to hear it? It's so late, don't delay falling asleep and resting, but slow down tomorrow morning's trip." ”

"You really can whet people's appetite, you know that when you talk about this, we want to hear it even more, a strange woman who can command birds and beasts to wander the rivers and lakes, and a female ghost who knows and talks extraordinary, this story must be fascinating. ”

Chi Tang also sat next to Xue Yang: "You can also see that even in the middle of the night, we are still sleepy, so we listened to Miss Xiaopei's original Tao in detail, but it is also a beautiful thing, the girl just said, let's wash our ears and listen quietly." ”

Xiao Pei smiled: "It's not Emperor Yao who asked Xu You, where can I wash my ears with water?" It's just a long talk that is nothing surprising, if you want to listen, don't think I'm annoyed and nagging." ”

Chi Tang and Xue Yang both smiled softly, allowing Xiao Pei to continue.

"Before I talk about my acquaintance with the Feng family's sister, it is necessary for me to talk about my origins. When Xiao Pei recounted, his expression was obviously a kind of melancholy of memories and remembrance, and Chi Tang couldn't help but think of a question that he had never thought about before, if the soul of a person after death does not come to become a so-called ghost, then is the body of this ghost just like what he sees in front of him, becoming an ethereal kind of fog and dust. But since it is ethereal and substantial, and it is impossible for the meridians and blood lines without limbs to cause a change in expression, then what is the matter with the expression on this face that changes vividly with different emotions? Chi Tang decided to ask Xue Yang in the future what the form of the ghost's existence looks like.

"It's still the season when the Bashu refugees are causing chaos, I'll do the math, Xin You...... Nongyu ...... Kwai Hai ...... Ding Si, well, it's been more than 50 years now. Xiao Pei counted with her fingers, and Chi Tang immediately knew the era of the homeless people she was talking about. "At that time, there was a drought in Qinyong, and there was a war between the prince and the prince on the other side of the court, so he couldn't take care of it at all, so he let hundreds of thousands of hungry people in the Qinyong area come to the land of Bashu in Hanzhong to seek food. At that time, even if Bashu had abundant surplus food, it couldn't withstand the hundreds of thousands of extra mouths, but many powerful military forces were formed among the hungry people, known as the army of the homeless people. ”

This is the catastrophe that occurred in the western part of Qin Yonglong during the Yongning period, Chi Tang knew this tragic history, and nodded in agreement. ...,

"At that time, I was the second lady of the Cao family in Baishui, my father was the richest family in the local area, and he also had some fame in Bashu. ”

Chi Tang nodded again, indicating that he understood the meaning of the righteous people, at that time, the imperial court was unable to take into account the rebellion of the displaced people in Bashu, so the rich families from all over the country established an armed force similar to the nature of private soldiers, called the righteous people, in order to protect their villages from being robbed by the exile army.

"In the year of Xinyou, one of the most powerful army of displaced people passed through us, and the momentum was huge, because my father was defending Zhuang to the death, and the soldiers of the righteous people, Zhuang Ding, were horns of each other, watching and helping each other, so the tributary of the army of displaced people was unsuccessful in several attacks, and they faced each other from afar across the white water, and they did not leave for several months, as if they had started the idea of long-term warfare. At that time, many clan patriarchs in various villages panicked, and proposed to their father that they send a few thousand stones of grain to the homeless army, strike the army twice, and send the homeless army to turn elsewhere, but my father insisted on refusing, saying that the thief army had come here, and it was because of the lack of food. Giving him a few thousand stones of grain is only a drop in the bucket, but it arouses their greed even more, and thus perceives our cowardice here, and maintaining the status quo, the thieves will be difficult to attack for a while, and as time goes by, the food will be more scarce, and then it will naturally disperse. Moreover, when Lord Luo of the imperial court frees his hand, he will naturally send reinforcements to come, and the thieves will not dare to stay for a long time when they hear the news. ”

Chi Tang high-fived and said: "Ling Zun has a clever opinion, and he uses a good strategy, and what he says is extremely true." ”

Xiao Pei's expression seemed to be smiling bitterly: "Not everyone thinks like this, in fact, the leader of the Wandering People's Army also made a plan, he sent a letter to those clan patriarchs, and said that it was a military classic, but he wanted to borrow some grain and grass, and said that they were powerful, and sooner or later they would cut off Bashu and establish themselves as kings. If not, attack with all your might, and leave no one behind after breaking the village. The patriarchs were frightened, and when they saw that their father did not accept their invitation, they completely ignored their father's daily efforts to help them, betrayed their father, and exchanged the wealth of my Cao family for the peace of every village within hundreds of miles. ”

Chi Tang and Xue Yang didn't speak, they could imagine the tragedy that would happen next.

"On a foggy morning, the patriarchs took advantage of my father's unpreparedness and secretly opened the door of the village, and the exile army had already ambushed the people and horses, and immediately swarmed in, my father had just gotten up, and before he could put on his armor, he was cut in two by the thieves who broke into the door, poor my mother and sister, who were humiliated by those thieves in turn, and my mother was unwilling to be humiliated, and ran into the thief's blade, and my sister was young and weak, and was kidnapped by the thieves, and my whole family was killed, and all the family grain and straw were looted, and the Baishui Cao family suffered from the disaster of annihilation。 When recounting these painful pasts, Xiao Pei's tone was unusually smooth, as if she was recounting a bland thing that had nothing to do with her, "Well, seeing those thieves rushing in front of me, I thought that instead of being captured by them and suffering endless pain, I should give myself a good time, I pierced my throat with scissors, that year, I was sixteen years old, and this is also the number of my longevity." ”

Chi Tang sighed, this was a tragedy that happened in more than fifty years, and at that time, there were many similar tragedies in Kyushu, China, and there were many more people killed in those years than in any previous dynasty and generation.

"It's strange that after the scissors pierced my throat, I found me floating in the air, and saw my corpse lying at the feet of those thieves with red blood, and I suddenly realized that people really have souls, and now, it is my soul floating in mid-air. I was even a little happy at that time, because I thought that I would be able to see my father and mother again, who had just died. But I floated from the east room to the west corridor, and from the west corridor to the north garden, I could only see that the family members and servants in my house were killed by those thieves one by one, and blood was dripping all over the ground, but I couldn't see a soul floating in the air like me. Did they go to heaven, or did we not see each other at all? Just like the living thieves couldn't see me?"

"Not everyone's soul will exist, generally speaking, only people who have great grudges or have a strong spirituality, the soul after death can appear, I think you yourself are a girl with a psychic body, so after you die, your soul is still there, and until now, you can already let people see your illusory form, this is the proof of your psychic body in the past. Xue Yang said in a low voice, he knew very well that Xiao Pei's seemingly calm narration actually contained a surging heart, because the white qi that made up her form was rolling rapidly.

"Is it because I have spirituality? Why don't you say it's because I have a great grudge in my heart?" Xiao Pei raised her head, her image changed in an instant, and her white qi turned into a hideous grimace, and her angry eyes turned blood-red.
