After a night of noisy, everyone was drunk and fainted, because his daughter returned home, Luo Shan seemed very happy, and pulled her to talk for half a night.

The next day, outside the gate of the Lingguan Mansion, the servants brought two horses, Zhang Yingzhuo took Luo Caiwei to ride one together, looked back and greeted: "Senior Brother Lin, you try to ride one yourself, be careful not to fall off." ”

Lin Yi stepped on the horse, his true anger was everywhere, his legs were tight, he sat steadily, and smiled: "Senior Brother Zhang, how is this?"

Zhang Yingzhuo sneered in a weird manner: "Ouch, my senior brother Lin is capable, don't be a three-day scholar, you should be impressed~"

"Less. Lin Yiban's face feigned anger, and then he said happily: "Haha, senior brother, you seem to have gained a lot of weight." ”

"Hey, boy, you wait for me, wait for my brother to develop eight-pack abs, let you take a closer look. ”

Lin Yi had just ridden a tiger demon not long ago, and now a mortal horse could not defeat him. Immediately pull the reins, follow the bluestone road, and trot.

Zhang Yingzhuo accompanied the horse, and the three of them left Yongzhou and galloped south.

Halfway through, Lin Yi suddenly asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Zhang, why did Miss Zhao have a conflict with the tenants yesterday?"

Zhang Yingzhuo thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "Since Miss Zhao entered the Lingguan Mansion, she couldn't see anything pleasing to the eye, and felt that Master Luo was kind-hearted and too easy to get along with, and he couldn't control his subordinates, so he volunteered to sort out the chores for him. This time, Miss Zhao opened the granary to inspect and found that the quantity did not match the account book, so she called the tenants to confront him...... Later, you know. ”

"Where's Steward Li?"

"Lao Li is useless, the master saw that he was honest, so he was admitted to the house, but this person is naïve, he is always bullied by long-term workers, and he doesn't dare to say it. ”

"Master, is he just asking?"

Zhang Yingzhuo sighed, "Master is too lazy to care, he just wants to survive his tenure, cure the hidden disease that can't absorb spiritual energy, return to the Heavenly Book Mansion, and then go down the mountain to eliminate demons, and turn a blind eye to the things in the mansion." If he guessed correctly, he deliberately asked Miss Zhao to come forward, and he had the intention to temper it, so that he could hand over the Lingguan Mansion to her in the future. ”

"One sings white-faced, and the other sings black-faced?" Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and said willingly: "Miss Zhao is from the Qinggang, and Yu Wei is still here, so she is indeed a suitable candidate." ”

turned his head, but saw Luo Caiwei lying on Zhang Yingzhuo's back, sleeping soundly, as if walking on the ground, and said helplessly: "Little senior sister is not too panicked." ”

The three of them hurried to the road, during the day, and stayed overnight, for more than 20 days. In the evening of that day, when they arrived at the territory of Bicheng, the three of them tied their horses in the post station and entered the city together.

At this time, it is the beginning of summer, the sound of oars and lights on the Huai River, the singing of birds and flowers on the riverbank, and the long street is lined with shops, and the sound of selling is endless.

Luo Caiwei's eyes lit up, and she shouted excitedly: "Brother Lin, your hometown is so prosperous, take us for a walk." ”

After a year, reuniting with his homeland, Lin Yi touched the scene, remembered the bits and pieces of the old days, couldn't help but feel sad, and begged for mercy: "Little sister, next time I will take you to play, there is something else to do today." ”

Zhang Yingzhuo expressed his doubts: "Senior Brother Lin, we should accompany you to ride a horse to Bicheng, we should also make it clear what we want to do, right?"

Lin Yi looked at the river and grieved for a long time before he lowered his eyes, bowed down and pleaded: "There are two senior brothers and sisters...... Help my widow move her grave. ”

The two were startled and looked shocked, Zhang Yingzhuo swallowed his saliva and asked softly, "How to do it?"

Lin Yi was intimidated and explained the details in detail......

"Later, I'll order a thin coffin, buy a few shovels, and find an inn to stay in at night. After the coffin was ready, the body of the mother was dug up and sent to the Lingguan Mansion in a car. ”

The two of them knew that the matter was urgent, so they didn't smile, solemnly agreed, and went to the store with Lin Yi to order a coffin, and the boss told them that they would have to wait for two days.

The three of them found an inn to stay in, and Lin Yi said that there was something wrong and left alone. The two waited left and right, and when they didn't see him come back, they went out together.

"Mother, I want to buy that!" said a child pestering his mother, pointing to the candy man on the shelf.

The middle-aged woman bent down, stroked the child's head dotingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, baby, it's all up to you." ”

The crowd was bustling, Luo Caiwei was holding a sugar apple in her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and chewing, holding snacks in her arms, squeezing out of the crowd with great effort, and wandering around the night market with Zhang Yingzhuo.

On the other side, Lin Yi found the willow tree alone, bowed down a few times, and sat on the side with Hanguang, looking at the flowing water of the Huaijiang River, stunned.

The night was low, the lights were drifting, the boats on the river were singing, the moon shadow in the sky was hazy, and he muttered: "Look at this moonlight, it will rain tomorrow." ”

Suddenly, I heard a flute sound drifting from afar, and the tune was strange, like crying, faint, desolate and tactful. Lin Yi's chest clenched, empathetic, sad, and couldn't help himself. The sound of the flute became more and more poignant, as if it fell from the nine heavens, fell to the abyss, and then rose by the wind, soaring into the sky.

"Yi'er—"

In the middle of his sorrow, a gossamer groan drilled into his ears, Lin Yi's body suddenly froze, dumbfounded, and turned his head in disbelief, and a transparent phantom floated in front of the willow tree.

It was the lady he had been thinking about for a long time!

"Mother?!" Lin Yi looked at her stupidly, at a loss, after turning her breath, tears burst out of her eyes, and she rushed up to hug her, but she hugged her empty.

Lin Yi's hands passed through her body, and Nian Yu floated in front of the tree, his feet did not touch the ground, his body was pale, like a wisp of green smoke, swaying.

"Let's go...... It's dangerous there......" she muttered, pointing to the west.

"Mother, what's wrong with you!" Lin Yi said hurriedly, and then roared: "Is there someone bullying you, I'll kill them now!"

The voice landed, and Cang Changsheng pulled out the knife from the sheath, followed Nian You's finger, and galled forward, like a frightening wind.

"Come back, danger—" Nian You's sleeves trembled, and two lines of blood flowed from his eyes.

Lin Yi was furious, the wolf looked at the kite, ran wildly for several miles, the sound of the flute in his ears gradually increased, and unconsciously, he broke into a dense forest. Dozens of miserable white figures appeared from everywhere, old and young, all expressionless, bowing their heads and floating forward.

Looking at the inspection, the surrounding tablets are towering, the soil bags are raised, and the grass and trees are overgrown, and it turned out to be a mass grave. Lin Yi stepped on his shoes and stumbled, so he had to slow down, and as he was walking, a grave bag in front of him suddenly cracked.

"Goo!" a pair of rotten arms burst out of the ground, grabbed the ground, and straightened up the broken body, the whole body was full of maggots, muscles and bones, and the stench was foul.

The corpse stood for a few moments, and then chased the sound of the flute, jumping and dancing, and left with all hands and feet.

At first sight, Lin Yi felt abrupt in his heart, and then his anger overshadowed his fear, waved his long knife, and followed behind viciously.

After walking about seven or eight hundred steps, I saw many dead bodies gathered under an old locust tree, counting the phantoms, a total of more than 100 people, kneeling down to the top of the tree.

Lin Yi looked up, and there was a woman sitting on the branch, dressed in red, with bare feet, holding a flute in her hand, and a red tassel at the end. Looking closely, the woman's face is hidden under the leaves, with a jewel around her neck, an umbrella on her knees, and a string of silver bells on her neck.

The corpse soul was entrenched below, but the woman giggled, as crisp as a spring, tugging at the heartstrings; Lin Yi was fascinated by it, her eyes were dazed, and she involuntarily walked towards her.

At the moment of crisis, his hands trembled with light, and a cold air poured into his chest from the tiger's mouth, Lin Yiru was empowered by ice water, and instantly sobered up, busy hiding in the forest, not daring to move.

The woman inserted the flute into her belt, stretched out the flower paper umbrella on her lap, and floated down as light as a feather. She landed on the ground, her jade feet three inches off the ground, and she stood ghostly in the air.

Lin Yi was shocked, and his anger subsided, knowing that this woman was definitely not easy to provoke, and she would definitely die if she went out.

The woman held an umbrella, turned around and walked slowly, with her waist and limbs, and with every step, the bell between her feet rang and clanged. The ghost carrion jumped after them, chasing after them, and left the grave in droves.

Lin Yi was frightened, returned to the inn in a distraught, lay down on the bed, had a high fever, and was seriously ill for two days.

Zhang Luo and the others waited for bed to take care of them, and when asked the reason, Lin Yi spoke incoherently, backwards and backwards, and it was difficult to understand why.

After two days, his high fever subsided, his headache was splitting, and he couldn't remember what happened that night, and he forgot all his dreams at the grave.

Lin Yi struggled to get up, went out with the two, bought a board car, and went to the store to get the coffin.

The three of them carried the coffin into the car, pulled it by horse, rushed to the river, divided the shovel and shovel, and dug up the remains of Nianyou under the willow tree.

The corpse had decomposed into white bones, Zhang Luo and the others couldn't help but turn their heads sideways, Lin Yi bent down to pick up the skeleton, and carefully put it into the coffin. Then he walked to the river, knocked down a few rings, took a spirit card, engraved the name of Duke Xu with the tip of the knife, and stuffed it into the package.

When he was ready, Lin Yi took off his coat, shook off the mud, jumped into the river, washed off the aftertaste, put on his clothes again, and returned to Yongzhou.

The atmosphere on the road was heavy, and the three of them didn't talk much, and drove along the official road, which took more than two months to return to the Lingguan Mansion.

Luoshan opened the door to greet him and ordered the whole family to hold a funeral. That night, Lin Yi guarded the mourning hall, burning paper money in the iron basin, and Luo Shan accompanied his daughter and Zhang Yingzhuo.

Lin Yi threw a stack of dark coins into the fire and ignited it, and said in a deep voice, "Master...... I want to go to the Heavenly Book Mansion to learn art. ”

Luo Shan sat down on his knees and persuaded kindly: "If you want to enter the Heavenly Book Mansion, you must first pass the palace test of the General Alliance, and the General Alliance is far away in the Song Kingdom, thousands of miles away, and it will not be able to reach it in a few months." ”

"Master, please show me the way!" Lin Yi bowed and saluted, his gaze persistent.

"If you want to pass the assessment, you must at least train your qi to perfection!"

"You can practice on the road. ”

"You're too dangerous alone—"

"Daddy!" Luo Caiwei interjected dissatisfiedly, tugging at his sleeve and said, "I'll go too." ”

"What are you going to do?" Luo Shan raised his brows, his face grim.

"I originally came down from Lingfeng, why can't I go back. Luo Caiwei shook his arm and shouted, "Daddy, let me go with Brother Lin~~"

"Don't sprinkle in the mourning hall. Luo Shan glared sharply, so frightened that she quickly let go, and was silent. After thinking about it for a few moments, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yingzhuo, "Do you want to go along?"

Zhang Yingzhuo didn't think about it, and waved his hand again and again, "Forgive the apprentice for refusing, I am a demon beast of the Western Desolation, and I will definitely be bullied there." It's better to stay in the Lingguan Mansion and accompany you to grow old, so that you can take care of it. "I was embarrassed and troubled.

"You lazy embryo!" Luo Shan said angrily, reaching out to knock him, so frightened that he rolled on his side to dodge.

Lin Yi was still staring at Luo Shan, waiting for a reply.

"Alas-" He sighed and said helplessly: "If you really want to enter the Heavenly Book Mansion, it is inconvenient to stop you as a teacher, when you insisted on climbing Kunlun, I knew that there would be such a day." ”

"Master?" Lin Yi looked moved.

Luo Shan agreed: "Go!"

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Yi was grateful.

"Daddy. Luo Caiwei asked in a low voice, "What about me?"

Luo Shan turned his gaze back and said bitterly: "Girl, Daddy let you travel alone in the Western Wilderness for the sake of the present day." ”

"Daddy, what do you mean?" Luo Caiwei's eyes widened, looking forward to it.

"Let's go together. Luo Shan snorted and complained: "Anyway, the girl is not left." ”

"Thank you, Daddy. Luo Caiwei nodded heavily. While discussing, Zhao Qiman rushed into the mourning hall in the dust, and said proudly: "Hey, boy, the origin of the jade plate, this girl has found it." ”

"Really?" Lin Yi hurriedly got up.
