Hibiscus Moon

Jufeng Valley is located in a canyon in the southeast of Shandong Province. Although it is called Jufeng, it has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the breeze is gentle. It is an excellent place for seclusion and leisure.

Buyue thought in this way, and followed Ge Yuan for a long time, but the surrounding atmosphere became weird. There were more and more graves on the roadside, and the further they walked, the more dense the graves were. Some graves were overgrown with weeds, and some Some of the tombstones were even broken off. What's more, some of the tombs seemed to have been dug out by something, with rotten coffin boards and bones scattered here and there.

A sudden gust of wind seemed to bring other winds to howl together. It was eerie and mysterious in this valley full of tombs, like a ghost whistling.

Buyue shrank her neck, and couldn't help asking: "Ge Yuan, are you sure you didn't lead the wrong way, this is Jufeng Valley?"

Ge Yuan continued to move forward as if he didn't hear it, but Xia Yunfeng next to him said, "The reason why Jufeng Valley is called Jufeng is that what gathers is not the clear wind, but the dark wind."

In this hot summer day, Buyue couldn't help shivering, took a puff of cigarette, and said in a low voice: "Who would choose such a ghostly place to live in seclusion?"

Xia Yunfeng said: "That man calls himself Ghost Santai, since he is a ghost, he naturally wants to live in the underworld."

Buyue spit out thick smoke, adding a bit of smoke and fire to the wilderness and gloomy valley, and then smiled: "So, there are no ghosts in this world, but some people pretend to be ghosts."

Xia Yunfeng was silent for a moment, and agreed for the first time: "You are absolutely right."

"..." Buyue looked at him, which made him a little unsure how to answer.

After passing through the windy cemetery, there was a trace of mist in the valley. In the dimness, one could vaguely see a small courtyard not far away at the bottom of the valley. In addition to the howling wind, there seemed to be the sound of running water.

When the three of them stood in front of the hut, they couldn't help but gasp.

The small courtyard is an ordinary courtyard with blue tiles and white walls. There are a few poplar trees planted in front of the gate, and a stream of flowing water flows into the courtyard without knowing where it is going.

It's just that besides the limestone, the walls of the small courtyard are inlaid with countless white bones, ranging from the head to the ribs to the bones of the hands and feet. Xianyi suddenly turned into a cave of mountain ghosts, making people daunting.

Buyue looked at the courtyard full of bones, her eyes showed admiration, and she couldn't help saying: "The owner of this courtyard has unique taste, which is extraordinary!"

Xia Yunfeng glanced at him indifferently, didn't say anything, then took three steps forward, and said loudly: "Junior Linjiang Villa Xia Yunfeng begs senior ghost."

As soon as the sound fell, the dark wind blew slowly, and it felt that the surroundings were extraordinarily quiet. In the deep valley, not even a bird song was heard.

After a while, the slightly old door of the courtyard opened with a "squeak", and a young man in red came out. Pink in color, clearly a pair of peach blossom eyes, love before words.

The boy's peach blossom eyes wandered around among the three of them, his eyes first stopped on Ge Yuan's face, then on Xia Yunfeng's body, and he gave a slight salute: "This must be Mr. Xia."

Xia Yunfeng bowed back with his fists cupped, and said: "It's my servant, please pass on a message, this junior has important matters and wants to meet Senior Ghost."

The young man in red lowered his head slightly, and said: "I'm sorry, my master has retired from the world for many years, and he never sees outsiders easily, unless someone comes to tell a reason why he must see him."

Most people who live in seclusion are like this. They put on a big air, and it's really not easy to meet them.

Xia Yunfeng said: "I don't know if the news that Wanfeng Building was destroyed overnight is enough to meet Senior Ghost once."

The young man in red thought for a while before saying, "You three, please follow me."

Entering the courtyard, Buyue's eyes lit up, her eyes were filled with amazement and admiration, she saw that the courtyard was square, not big or small, but there were countless skulls scattered in the open ground. Go, the black eyes of these skulls seem to be looking at the people who enter the door. If they come here at night, they will not be scared out of their guts.

Buyue was amazed that those skulls were painted with magnificent and beautiful patterns, each pattern was intricate and detailed, with bright colors, some peonies were blooming, some autumn chrysanthemums were tall, some were covered in blue and white, and some were red. Qingcheng, bridal chamber festivities...

And what he admired was that those skulls seemed to be placed in a mess, but in fact they concealed the gossip formation of heaven and earth, including traps, needless to say.

Sure enough, the boy in red turned his head and said: "You three, please follow my steps and don't walk around randomly."

After all, first walk from the ground on the right side of the Peony Fugui Skull on the far left, make a small turn every three steps, take three steps back every ten steps, and then move on.

Bu Yue followed silently, remembering the steps in her heart, vaguely felt that this formation was a bit familiar, but the gossip formation has many changes, if it is integrated into other formations, it will become a new formation.

After passing through the small courtyard, there is an exquisite bamboo house with two wind chimes hanging on the eaves, making a crisp sound. The boy in red led them through the bamboo house to the backyard, but saw a pool of clear spring lying in the backyard like jasper. There are densely packed bones scattered around, including human bones, animal bones, and white bones. Some have drawn complicated and bright pictures, and some have been carved into lifelike bone carvings. , there are also sailing boats to ride the wind and waves, there are also the ghostly mansions, and there are also the world where the flowers are blooming and the moon is under the moon.

This art piled up with bones is so amazing and shocking.

Under the blue sky, on the opposite side of the green lake, there was a person sitting with his back facing the lake. He didn't know what he was doing, but he saw a bright red dress, and his black hair was scattered all over the floor like silk satin. I feel that the back is extremely beautiful.

"Hen'er, is there a guest?" The voice was clear and soft, it must be an extremely handsome man.

The young man in red said respectfully: "Yes, Master, this Mr. Xia from Linjiang Villa said he wanted to see you."

"Oh, what's the reason?"

"He said that the Wanfeng Tower was destroyed overnight."

The figure from behind was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Bring them here."

Buyue's group walked through the dense bone art and stopped behind the man in red. Only then did he see clearly that the man was carving a Guanyin Bodhisattva on a piece of milky white bone. Lifelike, only one hand holding a willow stick is still showing its size.

Xia Yunfeng bowed and said: "Junior Xia Yunfeng has met senior."

The man in red put down the carving knife in his hand, and then slowly turned around.

It is the quiet elegance of the petals falling lightly, and the clarity of the morning dew.

The moment Buyue saw his face clearly, she couldn't help but let out a slight "ah".

Gui Santai glanced at Buyue, although he didn't show it obviously, but he didn't hide the surprise in his eyes, and then smiled slightly: "Why, my appearance scares you?"

It was not an aging face, on the contrary, it was very delicate and handsome, a man who could not tell his age, and under the soft outline, there was a faint soft light of jade.

This appearance is very familiar.

Buyue's complexion was slightly pale, and she couldn't help but look at him again, and shook her head: "No, it's just that Xia Yunfeng has always called you senior, I thought you were an old man, I never thought you were so young .”

Gui Santai smiled, but kept his eyes on Buyue, and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Ah Yue."

The man seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said, "Where's your full name?"

Buyue hesitated, he had too many enemies in the world, even this old monster who had lived in seclusion for many years should not be careless.

So, he said with a smile: "The address is just a sign, and a person's name is the biggest deception in the world."

Gui Santai stopped looking at him, and then turned his eyes to Xia Yunfeng: "Are you Xia Yuhe's son?"

"It's the junior, the senior knows my father?"

Gui Santai nodded: "It's more than acquaintance." He paused, seemed to think of something, shook his head, and continued, "How is he now?"

Xia Yunfeng said: "Thank you senior for your concern, my father passed away two years ago."

Gui Santai didn't respond, but looked into the distance, and said in a low voice, "Time flies so fast."

After a pause, he suddenly stood up, the bright red clothes hanging down by his side, the loose black hair hanging down to his ankles, soft and shiny, really beautiful.

He looked at Xia Yunfeng and said, "You said that the Wanfeng Building was destroyed overnight?"
