Lin Xiao and others are all natives of Chang'an. There are many legends about ghosts in Chang'an City, such as the green-faced and fanged Yaksha. Rumor has it that it has a terrifying face and eyes as big as copper bells. It haunts Chang'an City in the middle of the night and encounters people returning at night. Pedestrians would swing the ax of hell and cut off the opponent's head mercilessly.
Lin Xiao was busy studying literature and martial arts when he was a child. His mother was very strict with him and never told him about this. However, Lin Xiao had a nurse, Wen Gu, Chang Rong¡¯s mother. She had countless ghost stories in her belly and often told him Let Lin Xiao listen.
"If you encounter a kid wearing a bellyband while skipping rope in the middle of the night, you have to stay away."
Wen Gu¡¯s face was bright and fair, and her clothes had the fragrance of lily of the valley. Lin Xiao would be buried in her arms, dozing off drowsily.
"Why?" Chang Rong, who was looking at his mother with evil eyes, couldn't help but ask - that was his mother. He wished that his mother was holding him at the moment. He restrained himself and gently grabbed his mother's arms. I want to get closer to my mother.
"Shh-" his mother signaled him to be silent, "The young man is asleep."
"I'm not asleep." Lin Xiao raised his head quickly, his bright eyes like the brightest stars in the night sky, "I'm not asleep, nanny, please tell me, why do we have to stay away from the children skipping rope?"
This kid! Wen Gu smiled and stretched out her palm to caress Lin Xiao's jade-white face, "Because, children skipping rope will ask pedestrians passing by, how many times did I jump just now? Did you count it for me? If pedestrians don't guard their heads, If I gave him a number back, it would be a big surprise. It turns out that the child was the unjust ghost who was seeking his life, and the number the passerby answered was the date he went to seduce the soul!"
¡°Hiss¡ª¡ª¡± Little Lin Xiao and little Chang Rong gasped in unison.
Lin Xiao's eyes flashed, and the wet nurse's face transformed into another face. This girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pair of eyes as dark as a well. The moonlight reflected on the stream, making her face look delicate and delicate. She is white and moist, with small and delicate facial features and plump lips that are very tempting. Unfortunately, the color is too bright red and looks a bit scary in the moonlight.
Chang Rong jumped suddenly, and without thinking, he stood in front of Lin Xiao and shouted to the girl: "Who are you?!"
The girl raised her head and looked at Lin Xiao and others calmly. The valley was extremely quiet, and everyone did not dare to express their anger. They were afraid that the woman would take off her human form and turn into an evil Shura ghost in the next moment.
For a long time, the girl smiled casually and did not do anything. She bent down again and put her long hair into the stream to wash.
"You¡ª¡ª" Chang Rong's brute force of "killing ghosts when meeting ghosts, killing gods when meeting gods" came up in his bones, and he was about to step forward, but was stopped by the Taoist priest who rushed towards him. The Taoist priest's voice was a little unsteady and he said in a shaky voice. : "Modon't provoke her. Didn't you see that as soon as this woman appeared, the mountain wind suddenly stopped and all the ghosts stopped crying? Mostmostly the ghost king. I am afraid of irritating it at this time. Can¡¯t we die quickly enough?¡±
Lin Xiao and others have been on the battlefield after all. Although they are young, they have also stayed in ancient tombs on the barren mountains during the march. It is not uncommon to see heads and arms cut off on the battlefield.
Although the scene in front of them was strange, the quality of the soldiers made them calm down quickly after the initial shock.
"Ghost King?" Lin Xiao frowned. This girl appeared alone in the fierce mountain, and was indifferent to the gloomy and terrifying scene at night. She was definitely not an ordinary weak woman, but if she was said to be a ghost Lin Xiao recalled Recalling the uninhabited village that I saw during the day, no, this woman did not have the ubiquitous sense of despair and sadness in the village.
"Never mind the ghost king." After watching for a while, seeing that the woman didn't seem to have any intention of stopping them, Lin Xiao decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, and whispered to Chang Rong and others: "Changes will happen later, let's do it as soon as possible. The proper way to go down the mountain is, Taoist Priest, didn't you say you would reach the foot of the mountain by wading through this stream? Don't delay any more, let's go now."
While talking, Lin Xiao inadvertently touched the object on his chest. Fortunately, the thing was still there. On this trip, the items being escorted were too valuable, and Lin Xiao really didn't want to create any complications.
"Yes, yes," the Taoist priest looked nervously at the woman by the stream and nodded. "It's right ahead, less than half a mile away. As long as you successfully cross the stream, you can get out of the mountain." The Taoist priest said. As he looked, hope was ignited in his eyes again, and he was ready to leap forward, but he was still afraid of the woman and did not dare to take a step forward easily.
Chang Rong couldn't stand his cowering and retreating look, so he leaned down to fish it out, neatly grabbed the Taoist priest and threw it onto his horse. Then he shook the reins and headed forward to clear the way.
Lin Xiao and others followed closely behind.
When passing the woman, Lin Xiao couldn't help but slow down and looked down at the woman warily.
I saw that she had fished her long hair out of the stream and was putting it on one shoulder to comb it with her slender fingers. Her black hair stood out against her snow-white hair.The Hao Wan should have been a beautiful sight that was pleasing to the eye, but at this moment it only made people feel terrible.
Feeling Lin Xiao's gaze, the woman looked back at Lin Xiao, and for a moment, she suddenly showed a smile that was half a smile.
This woman is very beautiful. When she is not smiling, she is like a red plum condensed with white frost. She is beautiful, but she is cold, distant, and not very agile. This smile is as if spring has returned to the earth, the white frost melts and turns into morning dew, and thousands of red plum trees are vying to spit out their pistils, which is not to mention beautiful and delicate.
Lin Xiao calmed his mind, calmly retracted his gaze, waved the reins, and quickly crossed the stream.
Half an hour later, the Taoist priest was so anxious that he began to sweat on his forehead, "What's going on? The exit is obviously behind this big rock. I went down the mountain through this exit the day before yesterday. Why can't I find it now?"
Chang Rong threw the riding whip to the ground, fell to the ground and said: "That's all, the worst is to stay in this barren mountain for one night, and then try to find a way to get out of the mountain tomorrow. I don't believe it, there are so many of us, and everyone is alone With extraordinary skills, who can do anything to us?"
Thinking of something, he jumped up again, took out the dry food and water bottle from the bag on his chest, handed it to Lin Xiao and said: "Master, I haven't eaten for most of the day. In the wilderness, I just need to eat a few mouthfuls to cushion my stomach, and wait. Tomorrow we will go back to Chang'an and look for help."
Can you return to Chang'an smoothly? Lin Xiao took the water bag and took a sip, but he was not optimistic at all. He recalled what happened today, and strange thoughts kept flashing through his mind. He tried his best to grasp that thought, but his thoughts were like seams in his hands. The flowing water in the room can't be caught no matter what.
What exactly is wrong?
He looked up at the woman on the other side of the stream, and was surprised to find that she had sat on a rock at some point, turning a tree branch in her hand, and just looking here leisurely.
Lin Xiao felt something in his heart and looked at his men calmly. Fortunately, there were still eight of them, one not too many and one not too little. No matter what happens tonight, as long as the nine people work together, all difficulties will be easy to overcome.
Lin Xiao had decided on his plan, and turned around and said to Chang Rong and others: "It's already dark and the road is unclear. Let's not force ourselves to go down the mountain again. Let's do this. I think everyone is tired. This place is quite open. It's not as good as ours." Just set up a tent here and spend the night, and we¡¯ll figure it out tomorrow.¡±
When the Taoist priest saw that Lin Xiao and others were planning to give up going down the mountain, he jumped up and down anxiously, "How can this be done?! Dear gentlemen, you must not spend the night on this mountain! It's not just that the Taoist is just talking nonsense, the evil spirits on this mountain are absolutely real and evil in nature. It¡¯s so bad, if we stay in this mountain tonight, I¡¯m afraid none of us will survive!¡±
"Can the Taoist priest find a way down the mountain?" Chang Rong said impatiently: "We still want to go back to Chang'an to have a good meal. Who wants to sleep in this wilderness? But we can't be like headless flies. Do you want to wander around this valley all night? I advise you, Taoist Priest, to save your energy."
The Taoist priest choked.
Chang Rong and others ignored him and set up tents separately.
According to Lin Xiao's instructions, in order to prevent changes at night, they had to take care of each other. Every two people were divided into groups. Lin Xiao and Chang Rong shared a tent, while the Taoist priest and Wei Bo were assigned to one.
The woman opposite stood motionless as she watched Lin Xiao and others busy, but she never saw any strange behavior.
After finishing the cleaning, everyone lit a fire in the open space and gathered together to keep warm.
The moonlight shines on the valley, coating everything in the mountain with a layer of silver frost. Lin Xiao sees the look of loneliness on everyone's faces. He feels moved in his heart and says with a smile: "The night is long, why don't we have some fun by drinking wine? Who was it last time? He claims to have brought fine wine with him, so I will keep it hidden for now. Take it out."
Chang Rong and others responded in succession. Wei Bo smiled and took out a pot of wine from his arms, and everyone rushed up.
Lin Xiao watched them laughing and laughing from the side. After thinking about it, he took out the sword from his waist and gently wiped the sword body with his sleeve.
The Taoist priest stared at Lin Xiao unblinkingly from the side. He first praised: "What a sword!" and then said: "The sword body has a faint five-color brilliance. Isn't it an ordinary thing?"
Chang Rong's ear was so powerful that when he heard the Taoist priest's words, he turned around and said with a smile: "Of course! This sword is an ancient divine sword. It is said that it can kill demons and eliminate demons. It has been on the battlefield with all the masters in the past. It is a rare sword in the world. Woolen cloth."
Hearing the words, the Taoist priest's eyes flashed and he wanted to speak, but when he raised his head, he saw Lin Xiao looking at him meaningfully. His heart trembled and he choked back the words that came to his lips.
Lin Xiao sneered in his heart. Just as he was about to stand up and return his account, he suddenly heard a burst of noise from Chang Rong and others.
He looked back warily and was startled when he saw the scene in front of him clearly.
I saw the girl who was supposed to be on the other side walking over at some point, and she was staring innocently at the wine bags in the hands of Chang Rong and others. Seeing Chang Rong and others looking at her in astonishment, she smiled sweetly, touched her palms and said: " Good wine! Good wine!¡±
