Chapter 36, Ghost Villa
- >
Wake up the dust out of the immortal gate, standing outside the mountain gate, look down, all around are high cliffs, due to the wet fog covering, everywhere is not visible, the only stone path leads to the bottom of the mountain, the terrain here can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder those famous and decent people have not attacked for many years.
The same is true of the Blood Sealing Gorge in the Dark Blood Valley, as long as you guard that place, no one can attack it.
It turns out that this place of cultivation, in addition to the aura of heaven and earth, also needs the convenience of mountain attack and defense. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a sect to gain a foothold in the cultivation realm.
Because of Cheng Dieyi, Xingchen didn't want to go back to the Dark Blood Valley, so he sacrificed the Wind Bamboo and flew in the air in the direction of the west. Xingchen flew for more than an hour, and gradually felt that the spiritual power in the wind control bamboo would be exhausted, so he lowered the wind control bamboo and walked on foot.
At this time, the sun had come out, and the mist had begun to dissipate, although the climate in the mountains was not very obvious just after the cold winter, with yellow leaves and green grass, spread on the ground, but like a dying life came to life.
At noon, Xingchen saw some pavilions and houses from afar, some of which resembled temples and palaces because of their simple decoration. What makes Xingchen puzzling is that since it is a temple, there is no incense or candles, and there is not a single monk.
Outside the palace, there is a stone open space, which is also extremely wide, similar to the martial arts arena in the Dark Blood Valley, Xingchen is approaching to see, the gate outside the palace is hidden, and there is a huge plaque a few zhang wide on the door, which is written with four big characters "Qinglian Villa", Xingchen immediately thought that this is very likely to be a mountain villa established by a powerful and famous person.
Since it is a private villa, there should also be an owner at this time, but Xingchen found that there was no one living here. But this place is not like an abandoned mountain village, because there are tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, dressing tables, and all the furnishings inside, and there is no possibility of demolition.
So, Xingchen thought of the scene a few months ago, when the owner of this place fought with outsiders and was tragically destroyed, if it was destroyed, why didn't he see a corpse? If the owner was really an enemy, then he came to kill him, why didn't the people who killed him set fire to kill this place, so that his hatred would come to naught. Xingchen thought about it, but still didn't understand.
Xingchen was about to push open the hidden door of the temple and walk in, but suddenly a dark wind blew in his face. Xingchen was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
"Master, there is a demonic spirit here!Don't go in!" Xingchen found that his magic weapon Life and Death were reminding him, and the magic weapon of Life and Death was generally predicted very accurately, and it said that where there were monsters, there must be monsters, but Xingchen still had the courage to walk in.
Xingchen is holding a sword in his hand, this sword is the five-colored Shura sword, this sword was originally used by the Wude Daoist when the Immortal Huiwu, but now Xingchen sees that this sword is so powerful, so he has no intention of returning it to the Wude Daoist, when he left, he took the colorful Shura sword with him, and he also carried a sword on his back, and the sword was the spirit snake sword.
All demons and demons must be used together, and the three must be used together, the effect is the best, so Xingchen holds a sword in one hand, and pinched a demon spirit talisman between the two fingers of the other hand, and slowly moved forward, slowly approaching the hidden temple door.
When Xingchen did not open the door of the temple, the door had already opened, and it was not one person who opened the door, but two people.
Both of them wore red robes, red hats, and red shoes under their feet, and their eyebrows were long and small, and their noses were large, and their facial features were very discordant, but no one felt inappropriate when they were born on one face, but they were a little ugly. They don't seem to be very old, they look like children, but psychologically they are adults. They all had black iron rods in their hands, presumably as self-defense weapons.
When the two of them saw Xingchen, they were startled at first, and immediately came back to their senses and asked, "May I ask what is the matter with the benefactor here?"
Xingchen saw that the two were very polite, although he suspected that they were monsters, but he put down his sword and avoided killing, but just stepped forward and said: "My name is Zhu Xingchen, I am a Taoist priest of Youfang, I am tired and hungry when I come here, I want to borrow a precious place to rest, and by the way, I ask for some food, and I also bothered the two to inform the master." ”
The two people looked at each other, smiled mysteriously, and said to Xingchen: "The two of us are the masters here, if you don't dislike it, you can come in and sit!"
Xingchen followed the two to the hall, entered the main hall, sat down on the chair, and asked, "I forgot to ask the two brothers your surname?"
One of them replied: "We are two brothers, we have been orphans since we were children, and we don't know who our parents are, so we only have a name, no surname, I am the eldest brother, my name is Chimei, this is my brother, his name is Wang Liang." ”
When Xingchen heard the name, he secretly thought, "These two people are really monsters, listen to this name, one is called Red Eyebrow, the other is called Wang Liang, this 'Red Eyebrow Wang Liang' doesn't mean 'Ghost Monster', it turns out that these two people are really ghosts and monsters." But Xingchen smiled silently, but watched how the two monsters acted.
As soon as he sat down for a while, the red eyebrows said to Wang Liang: "Brother, go get some wine and food, and I'll accompany the guests here to have two drinks." When Wang Liang heard this, he went straight into the kitchen. In less than a cup of tea, Wang Liang actually sent the meal, and looking at this meal, there are meat and vegetables, as well as wine. When Xingchen smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Red Mei saw that Xingchen was very hungry, so he said, "My brother's craftsmanship is good, you can taste this delicious meal!"
Xingchen picked up the chopsticks and said, "Then I'm welcome, I'm so hungry today, I didn't expect such a good meal today, I'm going to have a good meal." After saying that, he devoured it.
Red eyebrows hurriedly poured the wine in the wine glass for Xingchen and said, "Don't use it slowly, use it slowly! Don't swallow it too quickly." ”
Xingchen thought to himself while eating, what about swallowing, don't you two just want me to die? I saw Xingchen eat a full meal, pat his stomach, and lay down on the chair and fell asleep.
Red eyebrows looked at Wang Liang: "Brother, how much ghost water did you only pour for this wine?"
Wang Liang looked at Xingchen lying on the chair and said, "I'm worried that the medicine won't pour this kid, so I'll pour down the half bottle of ghost water!"
Red eyebrows frowned and said, "I poured so much ghost water, why did it take so long to pour him down?"
"I also think this is very strange, maybe this kid is a cultivator, and he can resist this ghost water more than mortals. When the ghost water eats his soul, the two of us will share his flesh again. Hahaha!" Wang Liang laughed.
Red Eyebrows took out a black iron stick, put it in his hand and said to Wang Liang: "Don't do it yet, let's beat them to death with a stick first!"
The red eyebrows were about to start, but when they saw that they couldn't move, they looked at Wang Liang again, and they were also standing there, as if they were dead. He looked down and saw that two spirit runes had been pasted on his knees at some point, and Wang Liang was also frozen by the spirit runes.
Xingchen sat up from the chair, pressed his stomach, and spit out all the wine, the red eyebrows never expected that Xingchen actually kept a hand.
Xingchen pulled out his sword and wanted to kill these two monsters with his sword, but the two monsters told him again and again, only to hear the red eyebrows say: "Don't kill me, the king, we are not monsters!"
"It's not a monster, it's no wonder or a ghost?" asked Xingchen puzzled.
"The king is right, we are ghosts, we are from the underworld, but the ghost king is harsh on us, and whips us severely, we fled here half a year ago, there was a big merchant living in this villa, we made trouble day and night, scared them away, the merchant left a big box of gold and silver in the back hall, if you don't kill the little one, the little one and his brothers have followed you, and it is not possible to serve you every day. The red eyebrows looked at the sword in Xingchen's hand and said in horror.
"If you have gold and silver, why do you want to kill people to eat?" exclaimed.
"It's far away from the town, can we look like a town?" said the red eyebrows with a helpless expression.
Xingchen put the sword back into its sheath and said, "I'm in a good mood today, I won't kill you!" You can go wherever you want, I won't keep you, I just hope you don't hurt people again." ”
That Wang Liang knelt down on one knee in front of Xingchen and said: "The two of us are from the underworld, if we go back, we will not be crushed into powder by the ghost king, we have nowhere to go, and I hope that the king will take in the small one, and the small one is willing to be a cow and a horse." ”
Xingchen thought about it, this Qinglian Villa is quiet and elegant, but it is a good place to cultivate, and there are these two ghosts to serve, why not do it, so he said: "I will take you two in, I will go to the town another day, buy two sets of decent clothes, and you don't shy your head and tail, learn from us." I'm cultivating in this villa, you two will be a guard at the gate, if there are idlers who come to attack, you can come up and report me. ”
The two ghosts of Red Eyebrows and Wang Liang both leaned over and kowtowed.
Xingchen suddenly felt a lot of pain in his stomach at this time, so he pointed his sword at Chimei and said, "Why do I have such abdominal pain, did you drug my food?"
The red eyebrows hurriedly shook his head and defended: "The king is angry, we have no wine and food here, and the wine and food are my brother's tricks, if the hungry people can only see it, in fact, the king has not eaten anything, and he is still hungry." ”
When Xingchen heard this, he suddenly realized, so he said to Chimei: "You bring me this gold and silver, and I will go to the market town to have a good meal." ”
The red eyebrows arched his hand and said: "I still bother the king to go with me, so I know how many gold and silver treasures we have in this villa!"
Xingchen listened to Chimei's words, and came to the back hall with him, there was a small secret room in the back hall, open the secret room and see, there were more than a dozen large boxes inside, all of which were full of golden gold, Xingchen asked: "Red eyebrows, you shouldn't be a trick, right?"
The red eyebrow took a gold ingot from the box, handed it to Xingchen and said, "King, don't believe it!"
Xingchen smiled with satisfaction: "Well, it's really gold." Will you two go with me to the town and see the world. ”
"Let me go with the king. Red eyebrows and Wang Liang said together.
