Chapter 69: There are ghosts in the daytime
The Barrier Forest Country, which has a lot of ghosts and miasma, is only more than a hundred miles away from the Fallen Leaf Sect, which is not that far.
Dong Nanyan and a group of five people walked slowly along the mountain road, along the way, the cold Senior Sister Ye naturally didn't talk much, Dong Nanyan was sandwiched between Ye Zhi and Song Jiyi, and there was nothing to say, to Qi Daozhen, who was familiar with him, was not afraid of dry mouth along the way, and explained the customs of the barrier forest country.
I had been listening silently, and when the little Taoist priest said that ghosts and ghosts in the Barrier Forest Country were common, and even ghosts could be seen when walking at night, Song Jiyi, who had cultivated to the realm of climbing the building without knowing the ghosts in Jinliufeng, shuddered, and the girl who was frightened by the ghost's miserable and terrifying appearance asked: "Daoist, you have been staying in the mountain, how do you know so much about the Barrier Forest Country?"
Dong Nanyan also looked at the little Taoist priest curiously, when he heard Ye Zhi say that Qi Daozhen and his master had been practicing on the hill in the Fallen Leaf Sect, how could they know what was going on under the mountain?
Qi Daozhen chuckled and said: "To tell fortunes and shake lots, it is inevitable to investigate the weather and fortune and the surrounding facts in advance. ”
Song Jieyi looked at Qi Daozhen who was empty-handed, and said in surprise: "Daoist is going empty-handed like this?", the little Taoist priest looks about the same age as Dong Nanyan, just a condensation realm, so he dares to run down the mountain by himself and go to the ghost-ridden forest country to tell fortunes?
Qi Daozhen smiled when he heard this, took out a peachwood sword from the basket behind his back, and said with a smile: "Although Xiaodao's sword is not as good as the divine soldier behind the girl, it is still not a problem to suppress demons and eliminate ghosts." ”
Song Jieyi nodded slightly, the peach, the essence of the five woods, so suppress the evil spirit.
The so-called five woods, is mulberry, elm, peach, acacia and willow, the essence of peach wood is born in the ghost door, so it can make a hundred ghosts, and it is said that there is a peach orchard in the sky, the peach tree blooms for 9,000 years, bears fruit for 9,000 years, and a peach can prolong life for 500 years, so the peach tree is also a symbol of longevity.
Dong Nanyan, who only knew that the peachwood sword hanging in the house could ward off evil spirits, asked, "Do you really get rid of ghosts?"
Hearing that there are many ghosts in front of him, Song Jieyi can't wait to exchange the grass behind him for a peachwood sword, although this grass is a good magic weapon, but after all, there is no benefit from the peachwood sword that is a natural ghost, isn't it?
Hearing Dong Nanyan's suspicions, the girl explained: "According to legend, there are two gods, named Shen Tu and Yu Lei, who live in Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea, there is a big peach tree on the mountain, and the panqu is three thousand miles, and its humble branch east gate is called the ghost gate, ten thousand ghosts go in and out, Shen Tu and Yu Lei stand in front of the ghost gate, once they find a ghost that hurts the heavens and reason, they will use the peach tree branches to tie up the ghost and throw it to feed the tiger, so the ghosts in the world are afraid of the two gods, so the descendants simply carved the name of the god and Yu Lei on the peach wood to deter the ghosts. ”
Qi Daozhen couldn't help but look at Song Jieyi again, and said with a smile: "The girl has indeed seen people. ”
The little Taoist priest gently flipped the peach wood sword, and sure enough, the two sides of the wooden and thin peach sword were engraved with the words Shen Tu and Yu Lei.
"I see. ”
Dong Nanyan nodded convincingly, Song Jieyi is knowledgeable, Dong Nanyan has an understanding, and he is curious about the origin of the girl who gets along day and night, but since the girl on the wooden floor was unwilling to say that day, the young man did not continue to ask.
Passing by the mountains and rivers along the way, Qi Daozhen told Dong Nanyan, Ye Zhi, and Song Jieyi about the customs of the barrier forest country as if he was popularizing knowledge, but even if Qi Daozhen was foaming and painting, the lonely and outstanding woman in front of him did not look back, let alone interject.
Seeing Qi Daozhen clear his throat, Dong Nanyan smiled at Song Jieyi, who had been asking back and forth: "You let the Taoist take a breath." ”
Ye Zhi also smiled: "Miss Song won't be afraid of ghosts, right? Don't worry, but I will protect you when the time comes." ”
In Ye Zhi's eyes, Song Jieyi, who was carrying a long sword, was just a mortal.
As if being seen through, Song Jieyi pretended to say: "No, I just think that my son wants to go there to experience it, and it's always good to know more." ”
Ye Zhi chuckled, "It's really hard Miss Song." ”
Seeing that Song Jieyi was so conscientious and thoughtful for the little uncle, and shared worries and problems, Ye Zhi couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
The New Year is about reunions, and who watched the fireworks rain that day and night with Uncle Dong? There are only two people on Jinliu Peak, and the answer is self-evident.
Song Jieyi shook his head and continued to pretend, "I should share it for my son." ”
Qi Daozhen, who was dry-mouthed, saw this scene and said secretly, "It's coming, it's time to start fighting." ”
Slightly closer to Dong Nanyan, seeing that Qi Daozhen praised Song Junyi just now, and wanted to win back a city in front of Dong Nanyan, Ye Zhi asked: "Little Uncle, do you know why there are so many ghosts in the Barrier Forest Country, but they can be safe and sound under the nose of the Fallen Leaf Sect?"
The journey of more than 100 miles is indeed not far for cultivators. Dong Nanyan thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "The Barrier Forest Country is so close to the Fallen Leaf Sect, and it is also the place where the disciples of our sect must go down the mountain to practice, I think the reason why I didn't destroy those ghosts is because I plan to treat this place as a place to train disciples." ”
Ye Zhiqiu, who had not participated in the chat, shook his head lightly, and the young man's answer was only half right.
Ye Zhimei smiled in her eyes, and was just about to show it in front of Dong Nanyan, but the young man only said half of it, and continued at this moment: " People have good and bad good and evil, ghosts are not absent, I have read ghost stories in the book before, some ghosts are cruel and ferocious, but the ghosts in the book are also kind and helpful, I think the reason why the sect has not eradicated the ghosts of the barrier forest country, may also be because it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, so the disciples go down the mountain to experience here, one is to temper the disciples, and the other is through the disciple experience, distinguish the good and evil of the ghosts, and destroy those evil ghosts. ”
"Miss Ye Zhi, am I right?"
"Yes, yes, Uncle Xiao, what you said is right. ”
The young man's words were almost exactly the same as what Ye Hua said to her at the beginning, Ye Zhi was annoyed in her heart, why did this little uncle become smart at this time?
Stopping and noticing that someone in the distance was hurriedly running towards this side, a smile appeared on Ye Zhiqiu's cold face, and he said to Dong Nanyan: "Senior brother, what you said is right, this is the reason why you came here to practice, but it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, not to mention the clever words, how to distinguish them when the time comes, junior brother should be careful." ”
Dong Nanyan nodded yes.
The woman's smile stunned Qi Daozhen, the little Taoist priest shifted his attention, looked at Dong Nanyan's cautious appearance, and said with a smile: "Dong Gongzi, don't be so nervous, this is still a distance from the Barrier Forest Country." ”
Pointing to the sun in the sky, the little Taoist priest smiled heartily: "Yang Qi is right, how can there be ghosts!"
As soon as the words fell, at the end of the field of vision, someone shouted: 'Help, there are ghosts.' ”
