Chapter 11: Ghost Sees
Yu Xiaoyu inquired about the location of the palace from passers-by on the street, and ran all the way through the streets and alleys, going to the house and over the tiles.
"Oh, I said, uncle, what are you doing lying on the roof at night?"
On the roof of a hut, a sick man lay down.
Yu Xiaoyu didn't pay attention and was tripped by him.
"Ahem...... Water...... Give me some water......"
The sick man coughed and groaned.
Yu Xiaoyu helped the sick man sit up, took out the gourd, poured some cold water into his hand, and fed it to the sick man's mouth when his luck warmed up.
The sick man was a little more energetic, snatched the gourd, and drank it with a grunt.
"Hey, it's cold, you're going to die! Hmmm, it's a lifeless ......."
"Oh, little brother, can you tell I'm not human?"
"You tuberculosis ghost just died, don't you want to be reincarnated? Lie here, why will the ghost find you? I'm not afraid that the enchantment in the city will burn you. ”
"Ahem...... Alas...... The little brother is kind, I can't stand the torture of the fire...... I didn't wait where I was...... It's better to find this place......"
"You're lucky to be a sick ghost, this is really a dead end in the enchantment~ You just wait here for the ghost to pick it up, I'm leaving. ”
"Ahem...... Thank you little brother for feeding the water, may I ask the honorable name? I will repay it in the future~"
"You still have to rest here~ You're going to drink Meng Po soup, why bother thinking about it anymore. ”
Yu Xiaoyu waved his hand without looking back, turned over, jumped into the alley, and ran away.
Daming Palace, the majestic imperial city, the palace buildings are numerous, and the pattern is magnificent and vast.
At this time, the square in front of the Lin De Hall is brilliantly lit and bright as day.
There is a dragon chair in the middle of the square, a man in a yellow robe is lying in it, and a woman with a very beautiful face sits on the phoenix chair next to her, wearing a phoenix crown, graceful and luxurious. A group of maids and eunuchs served on the two of them, and a hundred and ten guards dressed in brocade clothes guarded the outside, cautiously patrolling the surroundings.
On the roof of the Lin De Palace, two little foxes are playing lively, one is golden and the other is shining silver, chasing a hydrangea, jumping back and forth to catch bites.
"Your Majesty, your complexion looks much better now~ With your holy drive here tonight, those two little guys are even happier than a few days ago~"
"Mei Niang has a heart, these two are really immortal creatures, after looking at it for a while, I feel very comfortable, and my body is much more relaxed. ”
"Your Majesty is the Mandate of Heaven Dragon, the body of ten thousand gold, so God blesses, descends auspicious fairy beasts, and blesses Your Majesty with a long life~"
"You~ knew that I was happy, but I heard that you had a silver fox by your side for a long time......"
"Your Majesty Shengming~ Just because the silver fox accompanied Mei Niang, God sent the golden fox to accompany him, and told you and me to work together and share the fairy blessing~"
"Mei Niang, your little mouth is always so sweet, come here~ let me taste it well~"
"This big beautiful girl can really fool, the emperor kid is not serious when he is so virtuous. ”
Yu Xiaoyu squatted on the wall, snickered to himself, stood up, cleared his throat, and let out a long howl.
"You are so worried, no wonder you ran down the mountain desperately, and your feelings are looking for a good match, so I can't find it!
The little golden fox on the roof listened, turned his head, saw the jade fish from a distance, and immediately turned into a golden light, and flew into his arms with a whoosh, and the silver fox also turned into a silver light and followed, and the two foxes licked his cheeks affectionately.
This shocked everyone in the square, and the guards drew their swords one after another, some to protect the emperor and queen, and some to chase after Yu Xiaoyu.
Yu Xiaoyu followed the double fox, one heel turned off the wall, twisted his body, and rushed to the outside of the palace.
But when you come easily, when you leave, you can be troublesome. Inside and outside the palace, there was already an alarm, the inner guards, and the masters gathered, and even if Yu Xiaoyu was no matter how good he was, he was still entangled by several Taoists dressed in brocade clothes and holding dust.
Yu Xiaoyu originally wanted to open the box and release the sword and cut off the dust silk thread wrapped around him, but there were three ghosts hidden in the box, and if it was opened, he would definitely be burned by the enchantment karmic fire.
At this moment, the double fox in his arms suddenly changed his appearance, his limbs were stretched, his waist was straight, and he turned into two flying knives in the shape of peach leaves, with exquisite patterns faintly showing off on the blades, one gold and one silver, which was very good-looking.
"Ah, the relationship is going to become like this~"
Yu Xiaoyu was overjoyed, two flying knives swirled in his hand, the knife light flew, and the dust was cut to pieces.
The jade fish showed its body and disappeared.
When he jumped outside the palace wall, he suddenly saw a person standing next to him, and whispered:
"Come with me!"
Yu Xiaoyu didn't have time to think about it, so he and the man hid in the night and fled.
The two entered a hidden courtyard in the city, and gathered their steps in front of a gazebo.
Yu Xiaoyu used the moonlight to see that the person was a fat old man in a gray robe, with white hair and silver beard, long eyebrows and a childish face, and a Tai Chi whisk in his hand.
The fat old man scratched his neck, waved his hand to call Yu Xiaoyu to his side, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile:
"Boy, what's your name?"
"Xiaoshengyu Xiaoyu, dare to ask the old Taoist why he called me here?Do you also want these two foxes?Sorry, it's late, they've all become like this~"
Yu Xiaoyu turned twice with one finger and two knives, pretending to regret the reply.
"Hehe, the old way is not rare, it's just that I calculated that the Antares will gather in the royal court tonight, and I am a little curious, so I secretly went over to take a look, wonderful, boy, you should be twenty years old this year, right?"
"How do you know? What do you call you, old Daoist? Is it possible...... You're my dad?!"
"Ha, nonsense, the old Taoist will have some divination skills, the Taoist number is Huangguanzi, and the layman has a name, called Li Chunfeng. ”
"Li Chunfeng, I'm so familiar with a name, where have you heard of it?"
"Stinky boy, I wanted to be modest, but you don't even know my name!
"Oh...... I'm an orphan, I grew up on Kunlun since I was a child, and I just came down the mountain not long ago, so I don't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes, it seems that the old Taoist is very famous~"
"No wonder...... Twenty years ago, I watched the sky at night, and the heart star official went to Chang'an, but I didn't find it, it turned out that I was taken to Kunlun by the masters~"
"Well, what the old Taoist said was me? Could I be here? Do you know who my father and mother are?"
"I didn't calculate this, Xiaoyu, let me ask you, why did you come to Chang'an again?"
"Oh, I have a fox playmate, called Ghost Sorrow, I have been growing up with me, I ran out half a year ago, and when I went down the mountain, I felt that it recruited me in Chang'an, so I came~"
"I see, it seems that everything is providential~ I want to break it~ Xiaoyu, where are you going next?"
"I originally wanted to walk the rivers and lakes and be the world's number one ghost hunter, but I heard that the Taoist said that I am from Chang'an, so I will live here for a while, and find my father and mother~"
"Hey~ I just calculated that my heart came to Chang'an, and I didn't say that your home is here. ”
"Then I'll look here first. ”
"Now the officers and soldiers all over the city are arresting you, let's go~"
"Don't go. ”
"Well, Lao Dao will show you the way, I have a friend in Yangzhou Mansion, who is good at telling people's lives and knows his origin, if you go to him, you will definitely know where your parents are born. ”
"It's too far away, don't go, I'll look here first. ”
"You stinky boy, why don't you listen to persuasion!"
"You old man, why did you have to drive me away?!"
"Okay, okay, you're looking for it here, by the way, aren't you going to be the world's number one ghost hunter, I'll assert it for you now, and you won't have a chance until six years later." ”
"Hey, you old man, why are you still cursing me if I don't leave. Why?"
"Do you know what it takes to be the number one ghost hunter in the world?"
"Walking the rivers and lakes, catching ghosts everywhere, for a long time, I have become famous, and naturally some people think that I am the first in the world. ”
"Hahaha, what bullshit idea, Lao Tao told you, the world's first ghost hunter will only be recognized by the world after a ritual selection, just your idea, it will be difficult to be in the next life~"
"What ritual?"
"Let's listen to the old way and tell you slowly~"
"Oh, I don't have time to listen to you nagging here, I'm leaving. ”
"Hey, wait! You stinky boy, you don't respect the elders, okay, then to put it simply, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a group of ghosts made chaos, and a large number of ghost hunters appeared in the rivers and lakes, all of them were called the strongest, and later in order to select the recognized strongest ghost hunter, the underworld and the ghost hunting institute jointly held a ghost hunting conference, anyone can sign up for the competition, winning is the strongest, and it will be announced to the world at that time, it is the first ghost hunter in the world!"
"Again, it's a simple phrase: What is the conference, when is it going to be held, and where is it?"
"Yangzhou, once every five years, the Shuangyang Festival Conference. ”
"You're trying to trick me into going to Yangzhou again~"
"Believe it or not, a new conference will be held on March 3 next year, how can you catch up with your father and mother like a headless fly? That's why I will assert that you will only have a chance in six years~ Besides, how can I say that I am also a person who has walked the rivers and lakes! If you are full of nonsense, how can you still be the teacher of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Oh~ I remembered, I heard about you fighting off the headless ghost king. All right...... Then I will believe your old man once and go to Yangzhou!"
"Hey~~~ That's right~ Listen to people's persuasion, there will be good fortune~ I have a sealed door note, when you arrive in Yangzhou, you will find a blind and lame fortune teller on the street, his name is Zhou Banxian, give this to him, not only can help you calculate your family history, but also help you at the Shuangyang Festival Conference. ”
Yu Xiaoyu took the button note, saw that it was a thin bamboo tube sealed with wax, stuffed it into his arms, thanked Li Chunfeng, and left.
"Senior brother, have you always been so neutral and self-purifying.....
Behind Li Chunfeng, a yellow-robed woman with immortal wind bones slowly walked out.
"Antares, the combination of the two stars, the eternal life, the heavens and the earth, the success of a thousand years. Senior sister, the destiny of heaven is irreversible, throughout the ages, who have you seen who has turned things around and prevented the change of the times?"
"I haven't been able to have such a enlightened state of mind as my senior brother, who seems to like this kid very much. ”
"Huigen spirituality, why do you want to hang a star fate......"
"Okay, I'll let him go for one night, and I'll order the Three Scales Star to chase and kill him tomorrow, and never let him have a chance to meet the demon queen. ”
Li Chunfeng sighed, shook his head helplessly, and walked out of the garden slowly with the woman.
On the stone table of the pavilion, a monk's head slowly popped up, looked at Li Chunfeng's distant back, narrowed his eyes, and slowly disappeared back.
