Half-moon stone bridge
The night behind is solemn, and not far away, there are a few sporadic candles, like a screen.
Yan Mubai escorted Shen Ye in front, Su Lu Phantom helped Ghost Tu behind, but there was also a gag talent scholar in the middle.
Only at this time, the fruit flickered and followed far behind.
A temple called the temple.
After throwing Shen Ye aside, Yan Mubai got up and looked around, and a little loneliness flashed in his eyes.
It was here that the man saved his life.
"Those people won't be able to find this place for a while, so let's leave again tomorrow morning. ”
Su Luhuan nodded in response, his glassy and jade-like eyes wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Yan Mubai settled everyone, and casually clicked on the big holes all over Shen Ye's body, and then dragged the broken Xiucai out of the house. I always have to find some dead branches to keep warm!
It can be seen that Xiucai is extremely reluctant to go out at this time, first, the weather is cold, and secondly, the outside is far less interesting than facing the pair of middle-aged resentful couples. It's just that Yan Mubai couldn't control his strong desire for knowledge at the moment, and dragged him out of the door.
"Why can Miss Su be there, but I can't!" Xiucai said unrelentingly.
Yan Mubai was amused, and comforted as he walked: "You are so interested in laughing, it is a pleasure, but women's hearts, it is best not to explore, if you provoke the peach blossoms, then I am afraid that there is no hope for this free life." ”
The two have not known each other for a long time, but their tempers are very similar, and they have been fighting for a day, and they have become more and more unconcealed and scruples when they speak.
Xiucai was covered in coldness, and hurriedly replied: "Reasonable! Reasonable! I thought that if I find a woman to accompany me for the rest of my life, it is better to live as chic as my fruit." ”
Yan Mubai shook his head and chuckled, listening to the sound behind him, and did not look back, bending down from time to time to pick up some dry firewood. That Xiucai has a literati atmosphere, and he is reluctant to do these jobs, so as not to lose his identity!
Suddenly hearing some rustling sounds from behind, he turned around to look, only to see Xiucai gently throwing the beans in his hand back, falling into his mouth and chewing, while lying on a hill half a person high, looking into the distance.
Yan Mubai was curious, climbed up and leaned over his side and said, "What are you looking at?"
Xiucai shushed, "Let's see what's in that distant town?"
Yan Mubai was disdainful, cut off, turned around and looked, and couldn't help but scream "Ahhh
In the small town of Sumu in the distance, in the second half of the night, the candles were extinguished, and it was pitch black, only sporadic light was still in the air. But at this moment, it was like a ghost fire, flying along the streets and alleys.
Yan Mubai naturally knew that this was not a ghost fire, when someone was walking along the street with torches. Round and round, it seems to have a pattern. It's just that it's still far away, and I can't guess the people.
He pondered for a moment, then turned his body to the left, followed the slope, and rolled down the slope. Xiucai was taken aback and shouted, "Why are you going!"
Yan Mubai continued to roll downward, this slope was not steep but long, and when he finally reached the bottom of the slope, he supported himself with both hands and stopped steadily.
Seeing this, Xiucai lowered his voice and shouted, "Hey, hey, can you hear me?
Yan Mubai patted the soil on his hands, and suddenly there was a heart-wrenching pain, he touched the sticky and wet palm of his hand, and his face was also hot and painful. It's not a bright night, he can't see it clearly, but thinking that there seems to be a sharp stone cut when he just rolled down, he can't help but feel worried in his heart, and he has a few breaths of cold air.
He held back the pain and replied in a low voice: "I'm fine, you go back, remember to tell my junior sister, I'll go to the town ahead to take a look, it's only three or four miles, and I can come back in less than an hour, so don't worry about me!"
Xiucai snorted and said: "I still remember that beautiful junior sister this time, and I am not ashamed!" At that time, the two were far apart, Yan Mubai still heard this sentence that was neither yin nor yang into his ears, and couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "It's really a broken mouth, wait for me to come back, see how to clean you up!"
Xiucai was not angry, and replied: "Order!" and turned around and returned to the temple with firewood.
After a while, the warmth in the temple hit, reflecting the hot red rhyme of everyone's faces.
Although this temple is painted with gold and color, but compared with the color of the year, although there is no cobwebs crawling all over, the dust is full, but the incense to worship the dragon king has been broken for a long time, and the ash traces in front of the Buddha shrine are full of desolation.
Su Luhuan saw that the fire was growing, but everyone was not interested in talking around the fireplace, she supported her jaw with her hand and tilted her head to look in the middle.
I saw that Xiucai had seen enough of the excitement today, and at the moment he was tired, leaning against the folded table legs, and began to greet Zhou Gong. And the fruit is like him, lying on his sleeves, but his ears follow the sound.
The ghost is exercising his pranayama, but his eyebrows are hideous and awe-inspiring, thinking that the antidote he just found from Shen Ye still needs time to recover.
Shen Ye, who had been sealed all over the big holes, woke up dumbfounded, staring at the woman in front of him.
.....
At that time, Yan Mubai gradually approached a corner of the town under the protection of the night like ink, although people came to the town, but they didn't dare to get too close to the brightest place, only found the chimney, the cat's waist was invisible, peeping in the dark, trying to wait for the opportunity to move.
A small river running north-south runs through the period, and the two ends are not visible, but the wind is rustling and the water is murmuring. The east and west two fairly spacious roads, built with blue jade slabs, the road has no negotiations, but there is an arched half-moon stone bridge, the two ends are pressed, the bent belly is reflected in the water, like a cage of smoke and clouds and black moon. Suddenly, there were a few ink clouds in the dark sky, and the stone slabs that should have scattered some light had to be shy and black.
The west road is next to the half-moon stone bridge, there is an open-air stove, the blue bricks are piled up, and it is square. The belly of the stove was smearing with black smoke, and the boiling water was churning in an iron pot with a big belly.
A middle-aged man, presumably the owner of this stall, wore a square white cloth tied around his waist, held a slender spoon in one hand, kept stirring the noodle soup in the potbelly, and wiped the sweat from his temples with the other hand.
And three steps away, one table, two seats, two people, the man held the chopsticks in his hands, but his eyes were looking at the black pot stupidly.
Yan Mubai knew these two people, and they were Xu Yan, the current castle owner of Helan Mountain, and his junior sister Helan Yunyao, who had only been separated for a short time.
After a while, two bowls of noodle soup were carefully served, Xu Yan wiped the chopsticks in his hand with a handkerchief, handed them over and said, "Senior sister, I've been looking for a long time, why don't we go back to the mountain first, and wait for the news to be more accurate, and then I will accompany you down the mountain." ”
"Senior brother, when we set off, this Helan Mountain will not be able to go back. Helan Yunyao's tone seemed to be a little colder than the last time she saw her, "What kind of person is the ghost?
Xu Yan lowered his head and tasted these two sentences, and said, "We didn't start doing anything!"
"Senior brother, you are confused!" Helan Yunyao was furious, "During this time, we have challenged the masters of all the gates everywhere, Tianxin Pavilion, Xiaoyao Valley, Tingzhulou, Lingxi Palace, except for the Tianfu Gate stained on Han Zhujing's hands, Gu Du hit you hard, and took advantage of the annihilation of the Sword Villa to encourage everyone to go all the way south, regardless of your and my intentions, but looking at the Nanjiang realm that the other five factions have entered, how can the ghosts believe that you and I do not have the heart to annex the ghost gate and dominate the rivers and lakes?"
After being silent for a long time, Xu Yan sighed and said, "But that He Baisheng...."
Helan Yunyao said: "Let's eat noodles first, later, those people should also come back!"
Yan Mubai was in a hurry, but he couldn't jump down and grab the two of them to ask him clearly. He looked up at the dark clouds and pulled a corner to hide the luster of the moon's hiding place, and then he grabbed the chimney and reversed the weight of his feet, and the numbness of his left leg was a little less numb.
After the two of them finished eating the noodles, there was a quiet downstream. The owner of the noodle stall stepped forward and said, "Two nobles, please be considerate of this midnight work, how about settling the silver money first?"
Xu Yan groped towards his waist with one hand, Helan Yunyao gently grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, rest, I'll deal with it!"
Xu Yan didn't know what she meant, but she had always had nothing to do with her, so she nodded and said 'okay'.
Helan Yunyao got up and walked to the end of the stone bridge, stretched her body and looked at it, and the boss boldly stepped forward and said, "Excuse me, ten taels!"
Helan Yunyao smiled: "Two bowls of noodles, ten taels?"
The boss shook his head and said, "It's cold, it's deeper, it's wetter and heavier, it's a lot, it's a lot." ”
Helan Yunyao stretched out her slender little hand, pointed to the riverbank on this side of the stone bridge, and said, "You come here!"
The boss was puzzled, followed her forward a few steps, raised his eyes and said suspiciously: "Girl..." Like red ink, the surface of the water immediately gushed out a thick scarlet.
Helan Yunyao looked at the blood on the dagger, and then looked at the blood that spurted out when the boss's head was broken on the ground, and then looked at the prostrate headless corpse not far away, pouting and laughing: "Dirty thing! It also deserves to bargain with me!" She took out the snow-white towel around her waist and wiped the blood on the dagger twice, before falling back into the short sheath.
At that time, Xu Yan was looking at the other end of the stone bridge, a little uneasy, and when he heard the sound, he turned around, frowned and said: "I knocked so many households, but he was the only one who burned two bowls of noodles for us, why bother!"
Helan Yunyao shook her head and chuckled, with three points of disdain in her smile, "The bird is eaten up, he dies for wealth, and he should die as he deserves!"
Yan Mubai listened to this cold and trembling ruthless words, the teeth in his cavity were bitten and squeaked, and the hot blood around his body surged towards his heart. He sneered, and the green tendons on his temples were distinct.
But Helan Yunyao was still smiling, and the voice sounded completely different from that of a young woman, cold, cold!
......
"Senior sister, I've been there for too long, isn't there an accident?"
Helan Yunyao also had a different color, but it was only for a moment, she said: "Daddy, this poison...." chuckled with three points of sarcasm, "He paid a great price for this poison to get it." After many refinements by that person, he is already unparalleled in the world, and he will not go wrong!"
After a pause, she took out a small jade flute from her sleeve, put it to her lips, held her breath, and blew twice, the tone was tactful, and the track was the same as Helan Xiche's playing that day.
Yan Mubai was curious in his heart, what is the beauty of this flute sound, and suddenly it opened in all directions, and a muffled thunder smashed into the air above his head, so startled that he almost jumped out with an "ouch", but at this moment, he was shocked by the strange scene below.
I saw that out of nowhere, there were six ghosts around, all wearing bluffing masks and green fangs, which was terrifying.
Yan Mubai behind the chimney was horrified, secretly thinking about the connection between Helan Mountain Fort and the Divine Ghost Gate.
......
"Are you back?" asked Helan Yunyao.
The six ghosts seemed to have no idea of minced meat, staring at the direction of Helan Yunyao and Xu Yan, neither nodding nor shaking their heads, and naturally there were no words to reply.
Helan Yunyao smiled, "Open your hand." The tone was shallow, but it was a commanding tone.
Six strangers dressed in uniform were as swift as thunder and lightning, and twelve big hands smacked a few times, and they all stretched out in front of her.
The wind was louder, and the bloody blood of the boss of the stone bridge was still flowing freely, although it was far away, Yan Mubai still smelled a strong fishy smell in his nose, and his stomach churned, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand and lightly clicked twice.
Helan Yunyao passed six ghosts in turn, like a handsome woman who was about to go on the expedition, inspecting the generals. Every time she passed someone, she put a black pill in that person's hand, and when she was done, she smiled and said, "Although I didn't bring anything back, you all remember to come back, be good, eat!" as if coaxing a baby.
Without thinking, the six of them fell together on their backs, their movements neat and clean.
Yan Mubai saw that a few people seemed to have gone to the seven spirits like three souls, and there was no soul and no knowledge, he took a breath of cold air, covered the back of his head, blocked the coolness that came out, and said in a low voice with fear in his eyes: "Fruit!"
"Senior brother, you should have adapted to this a long time ago, look at how well-behaved these six children are!" Helan Yunyao even stretched out her hand and sorted out the clothes and blue-faced masks on several of them, and her tone was extremely praised!
Xu Yan was silent, maybe this situation was too weird, and he was used to seeing it, and his heart was still trembling. He said, "I can't smell carrion!"
This carrion naturally does not refer to really rotten meat, but the cold smell of several people who are strange and without the smell of fireworks, which is the same as the smell of minced meat. ”
Yan Mubai nodded, agreeing in his heart, thinking that the two people in front of him were the main masters, holding Huo Po's left hand couldn't help but secretly increase his strength.
"The so-called rivers and lakes are actually nothing more than that!
