Legend of Ghosts and Gods: Xiaoqian 08 Secret

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Turning the time back a few hours, Qing Fen was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea with Ning Caichen, listening to an interesting story.

    A poor scholar whose parents died young lived in poverty for ten years just for fame. Unfortunately, he only knew how to study and did not know how to run a business. How could he survive with such a small family background? He sold out all his land and made a living. In the end, even his ancestral home was taken over by his creditors.  The only way to go is to stay temporarily in the ruined temple on the mountain next to the county.  Like all similar stories, poor scholars who study by moonlight are always particularly attracted to female ghosts, and the story unfolds like this.

    "That day Xiaoqian said she was a female ghost. I didn't believe it when I saw a ghost in broad daylight, so I smiled and said: If all the female ghosts in the world are so beautiful and kind, what's the point of being a human being. But Xiaoqian asked me to close my eyes,  After a while, when she asked me to open my eyes again, what I saw was no longer the temple full of spider webs of Buddha statues and dilapidated houses. Instead, I had never seen such a gorgeous house in my late life. I was so shocked that I couldn't describe it in words.  describe.

    During those few days, Xiaoqian and I talked about poetry and lyrics during the day, and watched the stars and the moon at night. We lived like gods.  But three days later, Xiaoqian told me that humans and ghosts cannot stay together for long, and that she should go back to Guobei County to live and study in peace, and she would come to see me when the time permits.  She put a stone into my hand and asked me to close my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, Xiaoqian in the mansion was gone. If it weren't for the heavy gold nugget in my hand, I would have regarded everything as a dream.

    This is not the strangest thing. When I returned to Guobei County to buy back my ancestral home, I discovered after talking with people that I thought three days had passed, but it turned out that a month had passed in the world!  There is a saying in ancient books that "one day in the mountains is ten days in the world." I know it is true only after experiencing it myself.

    In the next few months, I studied hard at home, and Xiaoqian would come to stay with me for a day or two every ten and a half days, until today.  "

    Ning Caicheng¡¯s experience was indeed extraordinary. It¡¯s no wonder that he still thinks that the girl in white gauze is really a ghost.

    After listening to the scholar's words, Qing Fen took a sip of tea and thought about it carefully, and already figured out the other party's trick.  It seems that Baishanu took advantage of Ning Sheng's eyes to close his eyes and administered some kind of drug that was not noticed by anyone. Then she carried the unconscious Master Ning to a wealthy family's house, put him in a good position, and woke him up.  The person who receives the spell will naturally have the first intuitive illusion of "a great change of heaven and earth".  And the trick of "one day in the mountains, ten days in the world" is even easier to do. Since you can knock people unconscious without causing any trouble, then what's the difficulty in turning thirty days into three?

    Qing Fen, who wanted to understand the opponent's methods, couldn't help but secretly laugh. In order to pretend to be a ghost, these people really did everything they could. It was a waste of their brains.

    The two of them talked and the night passed in the blink of an eye.  Ning Caichen probably felt uncomfortable after holding the secret for a long time. It was rare to be able to express it to others and he was in a very happy mood. Seeing the sky was getting bright, he went out to buy some food and wine to continue sitting and talking with Qing, so Qing was left in the yard.  Fenren was wondering what to do next.

    At this time, we already have a lot of information about Xiaoqian on hand, but how to use these things to find out from her the true purpose of their group of monsters still needs to be planned from scratch.  Logically speaking, a person or an organization generally has two purposes for moving and escaping from the world. One is to deliberately hide something - for example, after these female ghosts were the bodyguards of Emperor Hui during the Jingnan Incident, hundreds of  Zhu Yunwen's descendants have been hidden for many years, so they must hide. Secondly, if they deliberately avoid something - for example, they just robbed the emperor's gang, then they also need to hide.  Based on the consistency of their actions and destination, it seems that a group of female ghosts hiding in the mountains and planning to assassinate Wei Zhongxian are lies to the extreme.

    Qing Fen dipped his hand into some tea and drew relationship lines on the stone table to organize his thoughts.

    Based on the conversation, there is no doubt that this grandma should be the leader of this group of female ghosts. Although she is good at martial arts and acrobatics, she has a straightforward temperament. She is a good thug when performing simple tasks. It would be inappropriate to entrust her to take charge of it alone.  Moreover, although the red and white girls are both her disciples, the red-shaded girl is too young for her status as a disciple, which is not in line with the sustainable inheritance of a sect that has existed for a long time. A more suitable explanation is  Grandma herself is a member who takes orders from others, not the head of the organization.

    Several points corroborate each other, and the most likely possibility is that grandma is a member of an organization and was ordered by her superiors to hide or protect something extremely important.

    The analysis of the purpose has stopped here. If that thing is really confidential to this extent, then it is very possible that the two girls in red and white know nothing about it.  Many Jianghu sects keep many secrets, and they are only taught by word of mouth when passed down by the master.  With my grandma's straightforward personality, if I wanted to get something useful from her, it would be faster to just search her home.  But the question is, how to get to her lair?  After all the detours, do we still have to start with Xiaoqian?

    The general idea is there, but the specific action plan is still not available.At the same time, Qing Fen drank the tea in one gulp and yawned a little. It seemed that he had not slept for a day and a night. He only ate two oil cakes and a belly of tea. He was really hungry and sleepy.  Anyway, the thing that the old tree demon is guarding will not escape for a moment, so it is better to have a good sleep first, and then eat and drink enough before doing anything else.

    Thinking of this, Qing Fen stood up and wanted to borrow Ning Caichen's house to sleep first. His ears suddenly jumped slightly, and several sounds that were definitely not light came over.  That was the sound of people in the martial arts community stepping on the tiles of the wall when they used light kung fu to cross the wall. Although the skills were unfamiliar and it was obvious that they were just rookies, their light kung fu was accurate after all.

    After about twenty breaths, two jumping sounds finally came to Ning Caichen's courtyard wall.  Qing Fen looked up and saw two women of sixteen or seventeen years old. One was wearing a green gauze and the other was wearing a green gauze. It looked like they were dressed by her grandma.  It's just that this one is younger than the other, no, this must be young. If he hadn't hidden in this remote place in the desert, such an organization branch would have disappeared in the world in a month.

    "This person is the playboy named Ning? It seems not very good!"

    Qing Sha Nu looked Qing Fen up and down and said with a bit of disdain.

    ""

    Qing¡¯s forehead skipped a beat. Although it was the other party¡¯s fault that he was mistaken for the wrong person, what did the ¡°not so good¡± comment mean?

    "That's right. He doesn't look like a scholar at all. He's rustic! Sister Xiaoqian really likes this kind of person. Isn't it a mistake?"

    The green gauze girl also echoed her companion's words with the same criticality.

    ""

    Qingfen began to think about whether to show his long list of peach blossoms to these two little girls who had no taste in order to refute the other party's obviously ridiculous point of view.

    "Forget it, no matter what, just capture him and give him to Sister Zhuo."

    "makes sense."

    The two sisters were talking to themselves from the beginning and did not take their goals seriously. Qing Fen estimated that these two people should be from the red gauze girl's faction. The wise are close to the black and the black is black. It seems that they have not learned their skills.  To some extent, I learned a lot of bad habits.

    ¡°Then¡­there is no more.  Two young "female ghosts" jumped off the wall, captured them and stunned "Tulibaji Ning Gongzi", put them into a large sack, and carried them on their shoulders like two thieves returning home with a heavy load.  The weather has returned to the mountains.

    Then riding on the east wind sent by God - in fact, maybe Qing Fen's previous incitement to the red gauze girl was not necessarily in vain. Qing easily entered the monster's lair that he had tried every possible means but had no way to enter.  After putting it on the ground, I heard a slight movement outside. The girl in red gauze who was yelling loudly had already crawled out of the sack, and then she stuffed half of the wood in the yard into it as a prank.

    This is what happened before. By the time the thrilling plot unfolded in Xiaoqian's house because of Qing's prank, the initiator of everything had quickly determined the layout of the entire building complex and found a seemingly deep place under the main building.  A bottomless, dark hole.

    Not too far away, I could already hear my grandma's angry shouting. The sharp voice was so penetrating that even Qing Fen felt his brain hurt. It was somewhat difficult to understand how Xiao Qian was injured by his lion's roar in the first place.  Yes, logically speaking, she should be so familiar with the sonic power that she is immune to it.

    With a wry smile, Qing Fen lit a fire stick with his hand and walked out of the not-so-hidden tunnel hidden under the bed.

    The village owned by the tree demon and female ghost was built next to a water source in the mountains, and the soil is rich in water.  The walls of this tunnel were only poorly built with thick unpeeled tree trunks and beams. The soil was exposed everywhere and dripping water kept leaking out, making the entire tunnel wet. Even the hair on the body seemed to be wet if I stayed there for a long time.

    "This is really a shoddy project. The stairs should be repaired after all."

    Qing Fen raised his head and took a look at the mud under his feet, which was covered with soles, and complained helplessly.  Although it is said that, it does not look like a human path, but it fits the form of grandma's tree demon - looking back now, the main building above is too clean and does not look like someone has lived there.  The Dryad's bedroom is actually here - with its ability to burrow under the ground, it might have dug this road by itself. The lack of stairs means there is no second place besides it.  If an individual comes down, the possibility of hiding secrets here will be further magnified.

    Shaking off the mud from the soles of his feet, Qing Fen continued to walk forward. At this time, based on the distance, he was already more than ten feet underground, which meant that the underground part was higher than the above-ground buildings, but the road ahead was still dark and endless.  In terms of engineering, this dilapidated tunnel seems to be better than the one above.The garden is even more amazing.

    After walking a few more steps, Qing Fen suddenly felt a slight vibration in the air in front of him, as if something tiny was moving in mid-air.  These things are so small that they should not be noticed by others, but the entire passage is so quiet that even the air seems to be still. Every breath Qing Fen makes causes the flames on his hands to beat slightly. These countless small things  They flap their wings together, although the wind is weak, but like a stone thrown into the water, the ripples are not traceless no matter how weak they are.

    What is this?

    Qing Fen passed the fire in his hand forward, only to see countless dense beetles swarming over.  In the firelight, these bugs, all of which were the size of fingernails, had ferocious faces and dancing claws. Qing Fen's eyesight was so amazing that he could clearly see the straws in their mouths one by one.

    This old monster is so perverted that he actually came up with this method of guarding his home, not his tomb!

    Qing Fen stretched out his finger, and a sharp gust of wind passed by. The fastest flying bug proved the old saying that "the trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind" turned into a ball of mud, but the other bugs were like death squads.  Generally, they are still charging forward.

    Qing Fen folded the fire in his hand and stepped forward. The thin flames of the fire suddenly advanced several feet.  Insects in this world generally have two reactions to fire. They are either attracted to it or avoid it. There is no light in this secret passage, so insects living in this environment should be afraid of fire.  Although the small fire in his hand is not enough to illuminate the surroundings, as long as the insect at the front shows the slightest intention to retreat, Qing Fen will immediately light the clothes on his body and use it as a torch.

    Unfortunately, Qing Fen is not the only one in this world who knows how to calculate. Anyone who wants to set up this trap would have expected that everyone walking in this dark secret passage will use a torch. If they really get some insects that are afraid of fire, they will  If the fire flashes, isn't this trap a joke?  Therefore, the swarm of insects not only did not retreat, but when they saw the light, they swarmed towards the fire in Qing's hand like flies seeing something.

    "These things have straws in their mouths. They seem to make a living by sucking blood. They are the same as the dryads and female ghosts.

    With this thought in his mind, Qing Fen flicked his sleeve and took out the "Suwang Linglong". The crystal-like sword body reflected the moon in the weak firelight.  He held the hilt of the sword with two fingers and twisted it gently. The five-foot long sword formed a thin curtain of light on Qing Fen's hand. The tip of the sword even penetrated into the soil around the passage, blocking the entire passage from water.  .

    "Suwang Linglong" is made from a thousand-year-old spar extracted from Wangyue Gorge and polished with ice for ten years.  The topography of Wangyue Gorge is special. The two walls of the gorge are rich in special minerals that can absorb sunlight. When you reach the bottom of the canyon, only the moonlight can shine, forming a special geographical environment with dark day and bright night.  The Lord of the Sun is born and the Lord of the Moon dies. This sword of the moon is originally the sword of death.

    The sword dance moon disk made a gentle "buzzing" sound, and all the beetles that hit it fell apart, turning small things into smaller things.  The insects did not know what fear was, and they rushed towards the Moon of Death risking their lives. The insect corpses fell to the ground one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a thin layer was spread on the ground.

    Although there are many insects, they will eventually be exhausted, and they come so quickly and densely that after a while, the sound of the flapping wings of the insects is no longer heard.

    Sheathing the sword, he turned back to his eyes and took a closer look at the last half-dead beetle. Qing Fen threw it behind him, returned the moon sword to its sheath and continued walking forward.

    This tunnel is already hidden underground in the barren mountain ghost house and is extremely secretive. The old tree demon even uses this place as his bedroom to keep watch day and night. Logically speaking, there is no need to install any more mechanisms.  But I thought it was a serious matter. Although I wasn't afraid of being found by outsiders, I was afraid that my girls would be full of energy and run around and bump in accidentally, so I arranged a layer of insect traps to repel the enemy.  Qingfen encountered no other accidents on the road after that. After walking for more than ten feet, he finally reached the end.

    The dark and deep cave was like a black hole, and every bit of fire released by the fire was swallowed up without leaving a trace. Even with Qing Fen's eyesight, he could not see the scene ten feet away.  Just when he was about to patrol along the wall and inspect it carefully, a voice suddenly sounded from the deepest part of the cave.

    "Hey footsteps, you are not a wood demon, what are you?"

    Qing Fen was immediately startled by the roaring and hoarse sound of an injured beast, not because the sound was scary, but because he had no warning before he made the sound!  It should be noted that with Qing Fen's current level of cultivation, even a beetle fluttering its wings cannot escape his ears, and even Xiaoqian's female ghost cannot escape its spirit. Now there is someone who can stay more than ten feet away from him.  Without being noticed for a long time, if the other party has malicious intentions, wouldn't it be possible to reach out and take his life?

    Qing Fen¡¯s breath condensed in surprise, and his skills had reached the limit, and he had to fight back fiercely just waiting for the opponent to attack.

    "Good skill! But it seems like you didn't know I was here after you realized it. Did you sneak in?"

    The voice sounded again, and this sentence was much smoother than the previous one, as ifThe speaker has not spoken for many years and needs to warm up before he can speak.  But until now, even though Qing Fen could judge the enemy's whereabouts based on the position of the sound, he still couldn't feel the man's breath, whether it was breathing, heartbeat or spiritual sense, nothing!

    ?? Could it be that this is also a kind of acrobatics and is actually just a microphone talking?

    This was the only possibility that Qing Fen could think of, but it was not a problem to be so frozen, so he had no choice but to move his body and flick his fingers slightly, and the fire fold in his palm slowly flew towards the direction of the sound as if it was hanging on a wire.

    The people over there sneered when they saw Qing Fen's cautious look, and they remained motionless and allowed the fire to drift towards them.

    Under the light of the fire, Qing Fen finally saw clearly the real "thing" that these tree demons and female ghosts were trying to hide under their deception, and a veritable tree man appeared in front of him!

    No wonder I couldn't hear his heartbeat or smell his breathing. This guy's whole body was wrapped in tree roots, and every acupuncture point had small brown roots inserted into it. His whole body had become one with the tree.  .  All his body fluctuations were absorbed by the tree. In turn, it didn't matter whether his heart was beating or breathing. As long as the tree was alive, he would not die!

    Is there really such a monster in this world?

    "Who are you?"

    Qing Fen was stunned and blurted out questions.  Upon hearing Qing Fen's question, the human-tree monster let out a strange "Jie Jie" laugh.

    "After thirty years of not seeing the light of day, today's gangsters don't even recognize me anymore! Listen up, junior, I am the Holy Master of the White Lotus Sect, Yang Xiaotian!"
