Bai Suzhen basically determined the route for this trip down the mountain.
? First ride a horse on land, along the Shu-Chongqing ancient road, to Yuzhou. From Yuzhou, take the water route to Jingzhou, Zhenjiang, Suzhou, and then to Hangzhou.
Since I have been here, I still need to revisit some old places.
It's just that, revisiting the old place, the scenery remains the same, but I can't find those beautiful memories from thousands of years ago
According to Zhao Jinming's instructions, return to Mount Qingcheng before the Double Ninth Festival next year.
If there is time, I plan to go to Luoyang with Yujian, and from Luoyang to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that Chang'an is like playing chess, and the world is full of sorrows for a hundred years.
Chang'an, what kind of prosperity is it?
Leaving Shu County, rode a horse all the way eastward.
On this day, Bai Suzhen came to a place called Fengchi Town, which is hundreds of miles away from Shu County City.
Bai Suzhen led the horse and came to an inn called "Wangshu Inn".
"Guest officer, are you going to be a top student or staying in a hotel?" Xiaoer hurried out and asked enthusiastically.
Bai Suzhen looked inside, there were not many people in the lobby, and it happened to be clean.
"Arrange a room first." Bai Suzhen handed the rein to Xiaoer, "Take care of it."
"okay!"
Bai Suzhen walked into the lobby and followed Xiao Er to the second floor.
"Guest officer, take a short break, and I'll get you some hot water to wash your face."
Bai Suzhen gave a "hmm", then closed the door, walked to the window, opened the half-closed window, and looked down.
Fengchi Town is not too big, but because it is the only way to go to Shu County, the business flow is frequent, and most of them are foreigners. Therefore, there are many inns and restaurants in the town, and the fireworks and willow lanes are indispensable, a thriving scene.
Not long after, Xiao Er brought over the prepared face wash and said with a smile, "Guest officer, what else do you need?"
"Two vegetarian dishes and a jug of wine will be delivered later."
"Come on, guest officer. It will be delivered to you in a while." Xiaoer closed the door and left in a hurry.
Bai Suzhen simply washed up, then sat up cross-legged on the bed.
After a while, Xiao Er's voice came: "Guest officer, your food and drink is ready."
"come in."
Xiao Er pushed the door open, put the food and wine on the table, then looked at Bai Suzhen, and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, the town is a bit unsettled these days, you should pay more attention when you sleep at night."
Bai Suzhen asked curiously: "Why is it not peaceful?"
Xiaoer took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, to tell you the truth, there is a 'ghost shaving' in the town. After sleeping, I woke up with less hair. You see, the back of my head is missing a nest. hair."
Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you know what did it?"
Xiao Er said with a mournful face: "I really don't know. The point is that not one person, but two people, everyone in the town has a similar experience. The business in this town used to be very prosperous, but after this incident, the business has become much quieter."
Xiaoer paused for a moment, and comforted him: "But don't worry, guest officer, you will lose your hair, and you won't be in danger of your life."
Bai Suzhen asked again: "Didn't you ask an expert to read it?"
"Two days ago, Li Yuanwai spent money to invite a Taoist priest over in the town. The Taoist priest was busy all night without any reason, and then ran away with the money. Li Yuanwai was so angry that he didn't care about it anymore. .¡±
"Are there no disciples from the Qingcheng Sect?" Bai Suzhen continued to ask.
"Qingcheng faction, that is the place where the gods live in the sky, how could they come to our small place." Xiao Er said with a face full of disappointment.
"Understood. Go ahead."
At night, Bai Suzhen walked to the window and stared at the small town in the dim night.
She was as light as a swallow, tiptoed lightly, and flew out of the window. Then, it landed on the roof of a family.
This family is a widowed old man in his fifties, whose surname is Zhuang. His name is unknown, and everyone in the town calls him Old Man Zhuang.
In the past two days, Lao Zhuang was infected with a cold and had no money to buy medicine, so he could only drink some pepper soup indiscriminately, and fell asleep in a daze.
From the sound of his breathing, Bai Suzhen concluded that this person had a cold.
The old man Zhuang vaguely heard someone talking in his ear, it was lively and full of voices, like going to a market.
At this time, there was an old voice: "Give me a quick job, work quickly, I have annoyed the king, no one can eat and walk around."
Old man Zhuang became more and more mysterious as he listened, and wanted to get up, but his body was too weak to get up.With great difficulty, he raised his heavy eyelids and narrowed them into a line.
By the moonlight that slipped in through the window, I happened to see a group of mice running around the corner. What's more strange is that there are four muscular mice carrying a big mouse covered in white hair.
The big mouse was as big as a kitten, with a fat body, and its front feet kept dangling, as if it was directing the mice to work.
The old man Zhuang took a deep breath, thought to himself that he had never seen such a big mouse before, and suddenly woke up. He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked again, those mice seemed to have something in their mouths, which were black, like hair.
Thinking of hair, the old man Zhuang quickly thought of "ghost shaving his head", and touched the back of his head, and it was much less.
The old man Zhuang was about to pick up the wooden stick prepared on the bed and was about to throw it at it when he suddenly groaned and passed out again.
Bai Suzhen hit old man Zhuang's Baihui acupoint lightly with a piece of rubble, in order not to scare the rats.
Immediately, Bai Suzhen followed the group of mice and flew towards the east of the town.
On a large rock, stood a monster that looked like a dog but not a dog. It was more than three inches tall and dragged a long tail.
Under the moonlight, Bai Suzhen saw the monster's face clearly, and said in surprise, "Shu Que."
Seeing Shu Kui, Bai Suzhen immediately understood the reason.
It turned out that after a long time, this mouse has become a spirit, shed the shape of a mouse, and became the chief mouse, and the world also called it "Dragon Dolphin".
Although Shu Kui is spiritually intelligent, his body is extremely cloudy, so he can't get close to others. In addition, Fengchi Town is prosperous in business and trade, with a thriving population and strong yang energy, making it even more difficult to approach.
However, Shukui can order other mice in the town to do things for him.
The reason why Shu Kui let the rats pluck the hair of the people in the town is actually to use these hairs to practice sorcery. You must know that hair is the leftovers of blood, and refining it with hair can control the consciousness of the person with the hair, and in turn control the entire town.
Bai Suzhen didn't expect that there could be such monsters as Dragon Dolphin in this place.
At this time, many mice emerged from all directions, and the mice all had hair in their mouths, and then lined up, throwing their hairs on the canvas in front of the dragon dolphin one by one, and then sat in line like students, waiting for the dragon dolphin to attend class .
After half an hour, the dragon porpoise began to hum, and Bai Suzhen couldn't understand the humming, but the mice were extremely excited, and they all started jumping up and down, extremely excited.
At this moment, a black shadow walked out of the woods not far away, and the black shadow floated over.
When Dragon Dolphin saw the black shadow, he bowed to him, obviously respecting it very much.
"You did a good job, the master will reward you." Hei Ying said coldly.
It was a woman's voice, a little shrill.
The dragon porpoise hummed twice again, and the group of rats immediately cheered, apparently extremely excited.
A gleam of coldness flashed in Bai Suzhen's eyes, the black shadow was undoubtedly a female ghost. Unexpectedly, the female ghost joined hands with Shu Kui to set up a trap, and even wanted to entrust the whole town to the flames.
Thinking about it now, the Taoist priest Li Yuanwai invited was probably scared away by this female ghost.
And the reason why this female ghost didn't kill the previous Taoist priests may be because she didn't want to attract the attention of other monks.
After a while, Dragon Dolphin left first.
Immediately afterwards, the female ghost packed the collected hair and took it away, and floated towards the forest again.
Without hesitation, Bai Suzhen followed the black shadow into the forest.
About half an hour later, Bai Suzhen stopped beside a cave. She glanced up at the night, then turned back into the darkness.
In the cave, the road was rugged and winding, leading to a spacious cave.
Bai Suzhen frowned, and there was a fire in front of her.
Beside the bonfire, sat a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes, and the black shadow was not far from him.
"Have you collected them all?" The middle-aged Taoist said in a deep voice.
"It's all over." The female ghost replied.
"Wait a minute, I will use the hairs of the whole town to refine a body for you. This body can make you fearless of daylight, cover up your ghostly aura, and live together with ordinary people." The middle-aged Taoist turned his head. Take a look at it.
"However, within a sixty-year period, you will be my stove. When the time limit comes, you and I will go to the sky, and each side will go. How?"
The female ghost said without hesitation: "It's all up to the elder fairy!"
When Bai Suzhen heard the word "stove tripod", she knew the double cultivation technique practiced by this middle-aged Taoist priest. Just when she was about to draw her sword, a strong evil spirit suddenly came from the entrance of the cave.
Bai Suzhen immediately hid herself, and a beautiful figure passed by her.? Demon spirit.
