Chapter 183: Yanluo Village
Hua Wenxiang went out alone, and a few people did not stop her, because the four little ghosts were all ordinary spirits, and even their souls were not broken.
The old woman turned pale, stomped her foot heavily, and said with remorse: "You have harmed that son, I'm afraid you will have to affect my old woman and even the whole village......"
Tu Yuelian said with a smile: "Don't worry, old woman, this friend of mine is a cultivator, and it is more than enough to deal with a few little ghosts, why don't you tell us in detail about the mountain god (qíng), we may be able to help you." ”
The old woman didn't have the heart to sit down and talk, she walked out of the house quickly, wanting to see how Hua Wenxiang was doing, she was a bad old woman and died, if such a young man lost his life, it would be another evil.
Tu Yuelian and a few people followed.
The old woman didn't walk a few steps after going out, but she saw the fragrance of the flowers, and hurriedly asked, "Child, are you okay?"
Hua Wenxiang smiled: "Don't be afraid, old woman, I have driven those four little ghosts away." ”
The old woman's face was gloomy, and she said with a slight accusation: "Child, you have caused a big disaster this time, you may be able to deal with those four little ghosts, but if the mountain ghost comes here in person, it will be over, and you will definitely be invincible at that time, and your move is likely to affect our entire village." ”
Hua Wenxiang looked at the anxious old woman, and said with some embarrassment: "I also mean well, mother-in-law." Don't worry, we will help people to the end, if you have any difficulties, just say. ”
Now, the old woman also knew that it was useless to say anything, so she sighed heavily, "Don't talk about it here, go to my house." ”
When he arrived at the house, Luo Bei sniffled slightly and asked, "Old woman, do you have wine at home, can you sell it to me?"
He hadn't drunk for several days, and now he was dying.
The old woman knew that several young people were kind, and she no longer blamed her.
She opened a broken wooden cabinet, and inside was a jar of wine, on which was posted a red letter, "This wine was originally intended to be dedicated to the mountain god...... For the mountain ghost, but just now you actually drove away the little ghost it sent, and this wine should not be delivered, you can drink it if you want, no money. ”
In the old woman's opinion, this incident (qíng) has reached the point of no return, and the people of the whole village will suffer because of what happened just now (qíng).
Although the old woman said that she didn't want money, Luo Bei still took out a tael of silver and secretly put it in the wooden cabinet, he opened the wine jar, the wine was fragrant, and the young swordsman directly held the wine jar and took a sip.
The wine does not leak, and the young swordsman is very save.
Ruluo leaned against the door frame, and the rest of the people sat on the kang with a cat, and the old woman moved a small bench to sit opposite a few people, and questioned slightly: "How many of you are really that cultivator immortals?"
Hua Wenxiang couldn't help but smile when she heard the word "fairy", "Sort of, if the old woman has any difficulties, just say it." ”
The reason why he admitted that he was the cultivator immortal was to make the old woman feel at ease.
The old woman decided not to hide it anymore, and said slowly: "Our village is called Yanluo Village, which has a history of almost a hundred years, and there is an unknown mountain about ten miles away nearby, and there is a mountain ghost on the mountain, which is very powerful, and the people in the nearby villages are very afraid of it. ”
"I don't know how many years this mountain ghost has lived, anyway, it is said that when we exist in this Yanluo Village, there will be this mountain ghost, I used to hear my mother say that this mountain ghost was special (ài) cannibalism at first, and then for some reason, it began to stop eating people, but it has other excessive requirements, it asks the nearby villages to send it a bride every year, this bride must be young and good-looking......"
Hearing this, Ruluo suddenly became indignant and interrupted the old woman's words, "This ghost thing is really shameless, why do you have to sit still, you can go to the official, the nearby village sends a woman to be harmed by it every year, how many girls have to be ruined." ”
Luo Bei took a sip of wine and persuaded: "Don't worry, wait for your mother-in-law to finish speaking, and then we will discuss." ”
The old woman continued: "We are relatively poor here, how can there be an official government in the wilderness, besides, it will be even more troublesome if we report to the official and let the mountain ghost know." Alas, it is now a custom to hand over a young woman every year, and people have become accustomed to it, and whoever wants to be taken by the mountain ghost can only consider himself unlucky. ”
This mountain ghost also asked each village to build an ancestral hall for it, saying that it often offered incense to it, and it would bless everyone with peace. This time the girl of the village chief's family was taken by the mountain ghost is really bad fate, this girl is what I watched grow up, pity her for being so beautiful, marrying a man is better than marrying a mountain ghost. A few times ago, she was planning to hang herself in the house, but if her old father hadn't seen her in time, I'm afraid she would have been gone by now. ”
The more Ruluo listened, the more angry she became, "Old woman, tell me where that mountain ghost is now, and I'll go find it now to settle accounts!"
The old woman persuaded: "Little master, don't be rash, that mountain ghost's cultivation is really not low." ”
Luo Bei nodded, "After living for at least a hundred years, that cultivation must not be low, if you fall, don't worry about it first, wait until we understand the matter (qíng) thoroughly, and then go to the mountain ghost to settle accounts." ”
Hua Wenxiang was inspired, "I have a way to make things (qíng) easier. ”
Tu Yuelian smiled: "You always have so many ways. ”
Hua Wenxiang smiled and asked the old woman, "Can you take me to the village chief's house, I want to meet her daughter." ”
Ruluo frowned and said, "What are you doing when you see other people's daughters." ”
The old woman stood up (shēn) and said, "The village chief's house is not far from me, and it just so happens that I will also take you to tell him about what happened just now (qíng)." ”
Hua Wenxiang motioned for a few people to say as they walked.
Out of the courtyard, Hua Wenxiang called a few people to carry the sedan chair left by the little ghosts to the village chief's house first.
The four of them carried the sedan chair, and the old woman led the way.
Hua Wenxiang explained: "The mountain ghost wants to marry the daughter of the village chief's family, we can pretend to be a bride and go to the mountain, and when we get to the night of the candle in the cave room, the vigilance (xìng) of the mountain ghost must be low, and at that time, we can take it by surprise, even if we can't kill it, we can seriously injure it." ”
Ruluo praised: "This is a solution, but who will play this bride?"
Tu Yuelian, who was carrying a sedan chair in the back, refused, "I won't go." ”
Hua Wenxiang said with a smile: "You can't let Yuelian go, how can she wear the bride's clothes casually from a girl's family, and Yuelian's cultivation is limited, it should be difficult to hurt the mountain ghost." ”
Tu Yuelian snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Hua Wenxiang and the old woman walking in front asked, "Old woman, how is the girl from the village chief?" ”
The old woman said, "It's about the same as you and the boy who drank wine." ”
Ruluo, who walked side by side with Hua Wenxiang, smiled: "It seems that my physique is not good." ”
Hua Wenxiang sighed, "It seems that I can only go up." ”
In terms of unexpected blows, the fragrance of flowers is stronger than that of Luobei.
Luo Bei carried the sedan chair in one hand and drank wine in the other, "I think it's just a little flower for you, this method is exactly what you think, so you are the most suitable." ”
Hei Qiu'er sat in the sedan chair, opened the curtain first, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua wants to be a bride!"
Hua Wenxiang glared at it, and Heiqiuer hurriedly lowered the curtain, and sat in the sedan chair happily.
From time to time, the people came to the village chief's house.
There are hundreds of families in the village, only the village chief's house is open to the door, the door is posted with the word Xi, hung with red satin, although it looks festive, but this home is very deserted, there is no one in the courtyard, where there is the atmosphere of about to get married.
Hua Wenxiang put the sedan chair at the door and followed the old woman into the house.
Inside the house, a family of three sat on the kang with sad faces, and no one spoke.
Seeing that the old woman was coming, the village chief hurriedly got down from the kang and said hurriedly: "Sister Zhang, when is this, you don't stay at home, come out and do something!"
As he spoke, the old man with white hair saw Hua Wenxiang's four unfamiliar faces, "Who are these?"
Because of the heaviness of his heart (qíng), he didn't pay attention to the black ball on his shoulder.
The old woman said: "These young people said that they can help our village, they are all cultivators, and they can fight with that mountain ghost. ”
The old village chief frowned slightly, how could such a few young people fight against the mountain ghost who had lived for a hundred years?
The girl sitting on the kang was willing to believe a few people, and hurriedly got down from the kang with sincere eyes, "Can you really beat that mountain ghost?"
The young and beautiful girl had to believe that the flowers were warm and fragrant.
Ruluo smiled and said, "Monks don't speak. ”
The woman seemed to suddenly see hope, this monk is five big and three thick, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, it really doesn't look simple, "Dad, mother, I don't have to marry that mountain ghost!"
