Chapter 40: Falling into a Trap
The incident happened suddenly, the stone couldn't dodge, so he had to fall backwards, knocking over the lantern in his hand to the ground, and the inside and outside of the house suddenly fell into darkness, and the old man Wei and the woman outside the door were taken aback.
"Little master, are you alright, little master?" Wei Laohan shouted anxiously, and he didn't dare to come in.
"It's all you, the old man Wei, who has a lot of troubles, now it's okay, if something really happens, when you get to the government, it's all your business!" the woman said angrily.
The two were arguing, and suddenly the golden light flashed in the room, and the obsidian in the stone hand emitted a burst of golden light, enveloping the stone and the fish tooth, only to see a black mist flying out of the fish tooth, forced to retreat to the side by the golden light, and the fish tooth's body suddenly softened, and he fainted to the ground.
"You, who are you, how can you have such power?" said a strange man's voice in the darkness.
The stone stared intently into the darkness, but could not see anything, "I am the stone, you, what the hell are you, why are you pestering him?"
There was silence in the darkness, and even the two people outside the door were frightened, waiting with bated breath.
"Hehe, this person is innocent of death, and I will take his life today. The man said with a fierce voice.
"There is a difference between humans and ghosts, you, you better stop pestering him. The stone persuaded.
The black shadow suddenly pounced towards the golden light, wanting to possess the fish tooth again, but was repelled by the golden light, the light flame burned his soul body, he let out a few screams, fell to the dark and gasped, he tried several more times, all failed, sighed: " Alas, I can't imagine that things will fail, little master, I see that you are a cultivator, I tell you the truth, my name is Liu Mingsi, I live in the south of Luxi County, this person sold fake drugs in Luxi County three years ago, killing my mother's life, I also hanged myself with guilt, because it was a vain death, the underworld did not accept it, and the wandering soul wandered, I swore that I must avenge the murder of my mother, the heavens are clear, I finally found him a few days ago, I avenged me, why do you want to stop me now?"
Only then did the stone realize that there was such a cause and effect, and wondered: "Could it be that the fish tooth is Langzhong?"
"It's not. ”
"Then, why don't you go to the hospital to see a doctor and get medicine?"
"You don't know, just because my mother is terminally ill, Lang Zhong said that there is only one miracle medicine in the world that can be saved, that is, the lycoris flower, I searched for it in every possible way, but I didn't find it, I didn't expect this person to take the opportunity to deceive me, take Houttuynia cordata to pretend to be a lycoris flower, and cause me to go bankrupt, and my mother died unjustly, so deep hatred and hatred, not to share the sky!"
Shi felt sympathy for this person's plight, and recited the trumpet, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, good and evil have their own retribution, he, if he is a bad person, he will definitely suffer guilt, you better let him go." ”
There was silence in the darkness again, "That's it, that's it, I'll spare this guy for the sake of the little master's face today." ”
Shi also knew that this person was wronged, although he couldn't let him commit murder, he always had to think of an idea to help him, so he turned his head and shouted outside the door: "Uncle Wei, female donor, can you come in?"
Uncle Wei and Sister Wang had already seen the golden light, and were secretly surprised, when they heard the shout, they entered the room in the dark, and saw the stone and the fish tooth cage in a ball of golden light, and the stone that emitted the golden light was held in the hand of the little master, and suddenly fell to the ground as if they had seen a fairy, bowed to the stone a few times, and read the blessing of the Bodhisattva in their mouths.
"Wei, Uncle Wei, you have a witness with us, the ghost who possessed the fish tooth is named Liu Mingsi, the fish tooth three years ago, sold fake medicine in the county town and killed his mother, he also hanged himself, so he came to avenge the grievances today, my master often said, the cause of evil is evil, the fish tooth hurt him first, only today, so when the fish tooth wakes up, you want him to go to the county government to see the official to surrender, if he doesn't go, you go to the county yamen to report him, otherwise the ghost will come back. Stone thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with such a solution.
Wei Laohan naturally agreed, and the royal woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to refute, because she was single-handedly involved in selling fake medicines, and she couldn't escape it, so she didn't dare to disobey.
There was a sobbing voice in the darkness, "Thank you little master for success, Liu Mingsi will go!"
The next day, the Wang woman personally shook the oar and sent the stone to the other side, she was afraid and hated the stone, afraid of the stone's strong mana, golden light to protect the body, hated that he wanted to denounce himself and her husband for peddling fake medicine, this lawsuit is settled by himself, Wei Laohan is a well-known stubborn donkey temper, he has already notified the ground security, just waiting for Yuyazi to wake up and see the official, the dream of remarrying is shattered, it is really a bitter fate.
The stone went ashore, and gave a salute to the royal woman, and thanked her, but the royal woman, who was in a low mood and had lost all her strength, ignored it, and hurriedly rocked the boat to the other side, and went home to prepare for the prison.
At the foot of Elephant Mountain.
After crossing the Luxi River, the stone trekked for several days, and finally looked up at the cloud-filled Xiangshan Mountain.
Elephant Mountain, as the name suggests, the mountain body is like a huge lying elephant, the head is facing west, the tail is facing east, prostrate on the ground, the mountain peaks are gathered, surrounded by hugs, the middle is a deep concave and open valley, called the Valley of Hundred Flowers, because there are countless strange flowers and plants and get the name, the Valley of Flowers is perennially full of miasma, the humidity does not retreat, so the people are inaccessible, the birds and beasts gather, countless ghosts and demons and monsters set up a nest here, the Golden Flower Lady is in it, it is rumored that the ghosts breed here on the rivers and lakes, for hundreds of years, no one has ever been able to get out of the Valley of Hundred Flowers alive, but also adds a sense of mystery and horror, so that countless people and cultivators are discouraged。
The stone also can't take care of much, along a grass path, climbed up the west mountain where the elephant's head is, only to see that there is a clear water under the mountain, clear as a mirror, deep and bottomless, a stone beam stands over the water surface, hangs in the water, like an elephant with a long trunk, like a stone elephant absorbs water, lifelike, on the top of the stone beam, there is a circular open field, this place is called the moon platform, it is the place where all the ghosts and things gather and talk about the road.
The stone climbed the vines, carefully passed the stone beam, came to the moon platform, it was noon, it was naturally empty here, the stone sat on the stone to rest for a while, and looked at the scenery of this mountain, the noon sun was bright and scorching, but in this mountain, it was filled with white fog everywhere, from morning to noon, it did not dissipate, the mountain was green, the water shadow was green, however, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and there was an imperceptible anger.
An eagle's roar pierced the sky, and only its sound was heard, but its shape was not seen.
The stone left the moon platform, walked to the depths of the elephant mountain, walked for a long time, there was no road ahead, down to the deep valley, the fog was clear, the bottom was not seen, the stone tied the cloth belt around the waist, gritted his teeth, dragged a vine, climbed down the stone wall, the stone wall was wet and slippery, there was nowhere to put his feet, the palm of the stone did not take long to wear out, I don't know whether it was sweat, or fog, it was already soaked.
