"Second brother, you and your master have lived together here for more than ten years. "On a small mountain road overgrown with weeds, the dust shook its big round head and looked around.

"Yes, my master also planted a laurel forest on the mountainside, and built a stilted building in the forest. Looking at the familiar mountain road in front of him, Li Ge's eyes were full of reminiscence.

After the four of them walked on the mountain road for a while, there was a sudden rustling sound in the mountain forest in the distance. As the sound sounded, the grass and trees in the mountains and forests shook with the sound.

Seeing this scene, Wu Youqiu instinctively stretched out his hands and hurriedly protected Mao Eighteen and Jingchen behind him, but as soon as his hand was raised, he put it down again, and Mao Eighteen and Jingchen stared curiously at the mountains and forests where there was a rustling sound.

"Dabai, is that you?" Seeing the shaking of the grass and trees in the mountains and forests in the distance, Li Ge took two steps forward and shouted.

As soon as the shout came out, the grass and trees in the mountains and forests shook more and more violently, and then, with a clearer and clearer rustling sound, a white python with a thick graphite disk rushed straight towards the four people.

After the white python appeared, a tiger roar came out of the mountains and forests in the distance, and then, a white-eyed white tiger also came out of the forest and rushed towards the four people.

"Dabai, Dabao!" Seeing the old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, Li Ge shouted happily, and then moved to greet him.

"Amitabha! It turns out that the snake and tiger raised by the second brother are so big. Jingchen saw Li Ge, who was hugging the white python and the big tiger, and said childishly.

Caressing the tiger's head with one hand and patting the python's body with the other, Li Ge happily looked at the snake and tiger beside him and said a few words of longing, then turned to Wu Youqiu and shouted to the three of them, "Big brother, third brother, Jingchen, this is Dabai and Dabao." ”

Hearing Li Ge's shout, the three of them all had smiles on their faces and walked to his side.

After the four of them got along with the snake and the tiger for a while, they walked to the Lost Guilin in the mountainside under the leadership of Li Ge. Entering the forest, a quaint bamboo building on stilts appeared in front of the four people.

Standing in a small clearing in front of the building, Wu Youqiu glanced around, and finally stopped his gaze on a small tomb on the edge of the clearing. opened his mouth and said, "Second brother, that's Lai's senior's ......"

"Well, that's my master's tomb. Li Ge nodded, walked to the grave, and knelt on the ground with both knees, "Master, I'm back." ”

"Elder Changsheng, Eighteen has come to see you. After Li Ge knelt down, Mao Shibai also walked to him and knelt down. Then, Wu Youqiu and Jingchen also knelt beside them at the same time.

After mourning for a while, Li Ge welcomed the three into the bamboo building. Since it had not been inhabited for a long time, the house was covered with dust, so the four of them put down their duties and cleaned up.

When the bright moon rose into the sky, the four people who had cleaned the house sat in the corridor in front of the building, looking at the moon in the sky and nibbling on steamed buns.

"This place is really a good place, much better than the Tsing Yi town where Master and I lived back then. Mao Shiba, who was dressed in a red robe, stuffed a small piece of steamed bread in his hand into his mouth and said in a sentimental tone.

"Second brother, is your house far from here?" Wu Youqiu, who had finished eating steamed buns, got up and walked to the open space under the corridor, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

"It's not too far. Li Ge got up and walked down the corridor, glanced back at the bamboo building, and said, "There is no cotton wool quilt here, or we will go back to my house by moonlight tonight, and we will stay here for a few days when we come back in a few days." ”

"Amitabha! The little monk doesn't care, the second brother said to go there, then we will go there." Jingchen also stepped down the corridor with a steamed bun in one hand. Mao 18 and Wu Youqiu saw this, and they also nodded in agreement.

Then, the four of them carried Xingli on their backs, went down the foggy mountain, and walked in the direction of Meridian Town.

The bright moonlight shone on the spacious official road, and the four of them walked lightly, talking and laughing along the way. Although it was the middle of the night and there were no dwellings on the roadside, they were not afraid of their cultivators.

Time passed, and the four of them walked for about half an hour on the official road where there was no village in front of the village and no store behind, and after passing a few hills and a few wild lakes, they came to the edge of a locust forest.

As soon as I stepped into the edge of the forest, a gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing the new locust leaves in the forest into a "whoo~whoo~" sound.

The little monk could feel a sinister aura here. When the wind rose, the four of them stopped at the same time, Jingchen stared at the locust forest with his eyes, and said in a serious tone.

"It's really ghostly. Wu Youqiu heard this, opened his mouth and agreed, and then moved to the edge of the Huai Forest.

"I didn't think that I could meet ghosts on a night road. Mao Eighteen also locked his eyes in the Huai Forest, and said in a normal tone.

"Don't be too nervous, I don't think this ghost has any ill intentions. Li Ge looked at Huailin with his hands in his hands, thinking of the old ghost he had met when he walked here at night the winter before last.

"There is no malice, second brother, do you know the ghost here?" Wu Youqiu listened to Li Geyi's words, and his originally somewhat solemn expression suddenly slowed down a little.

"I saw him the previous winter, when I was walking through this place at night. At that time, he just set up a ghost to play tricks on me, and he didn't mean to harm me. Li Ge explained, then walked to the edge of the locust forest and shouted to the forest, "Old ghost, do you remember me?"

As soon as the words came out, a gust of wind blew in the Huai Forest. Then, a figure with a cyan glow floated out of the forest. It was a short old man of about sixty years, less than half a foot tall, wearing a black shroud, his body was half a foot in the air, and he had a cane in his hand, which looked quite funny at first glance.

"Are you?" the short old man floated out of the woods, stopped at a distance of three feet from Li Ge, and examined it carefully, then laughed and said, "It turned out to be your little doll." The old man showed that he had seen people for a long time, and he originally thought that someone was passing by tonight and had a good play to relieve his boredom, but now it seems that there is no play. With that, he let out a long, boring sigh.

"Old man, people and ghosts have different paths, even if you don't enter the underworld reincarnation, don't come out to scare people, in case someone scares out three long and two short, then people invite monks to take you in, that's not fun. Wu Youqiu heard the conversation between Li Ge and the ghost, and said jokingly.

"You little doll, how do you talk?" the old ghost scolded, then waved his hand, and the figure shook into the locust forest, "You little dolls, make the old man and me happy in vain." ”

Looking at the cyan old ghost who disappeared into the locust forest, Li Ge showed a light smile. Then, the three of them continued to walk in the direction of Meridian Town.

Although the night road was quiet, the four brothers talked and laughed all the way, but they were also happy. After traveling for more than an hour, they finally walked to the edge of Meridian Town and came to Li Ge's hometown.

Walking in the moonlight, walking on the familiar and unfamiliar streets of the town, after a while, Li Ge stopped in front of his house.
