unlucky ghost

Tanxi breathed a sigh of relief, and still walked towards the tomb. Maybe there was one just buried. If he was lucky, he would meet a ghost messenger, and it would save him the trouble of looking for water orchids.

Tanxi, who walked a mere hundred steps, was terrified.

The trees are full of gray and white ghosts, the faces of the hanged ones are grim, the heads of those who were hit to death are bleeding profusely, and the drowned ones are like lumps of rotten flesh with their flesh peeling off piece by piece; there are little ghosts on the ground , missing hands and feet, wriggling like maggots, penetrating tight.

Tanxi covered her ears, and through her fingers came the noisy shouts like a busy city, crying or laughing, lamenting or repenting, buzzing and buzzing, making Tanxi dizzy.

Tanxi gritted her teeth, and quickly stepped over those ghosts, with bursts of cold air rushing down her heels and up her legs.

A wisp of white smoke floated from a bare grave not far away, and Tanxi heard the clink of iron chains.

I think another ghost came to seduce the soul again.

When Tanxi turned around and walked towards the grave, the ghost messenger led the ghost and walked a hundred steps away, and could vaguely see two white shadows.

Tanxi hurriedly ran after her, but got lost in the smoky place.

The wind howled in the ears, and the cold air pierced through the bones. I searched all around, but I didn't see those two white shadows again.

It was midsummer, and as soon as the day dawned, the woods were sultry like a fire. Tanxi hid for a day under an old pine tree with lush branches, and only dared to move around at night.

After a night, the ghosts and Chong all scattered and fled, and the forest was very quiet.

Tanxi wandered in the pine forest, hiding in the sun and searching at night. When the rain came, the old trees did not cover them, and when the wind blew, the grasses did not cover them. They searched for half a month in a daze. The strange grass that lures people into the underworld, Tanxi sighed: "I think it's my fate, I can only be a lonely ghost, the wind blows and the sun blows, and I just wait for the ashes to disappear." He continued to sit under the old pine several days.

One day it was extremely overcast, and Tanxi fell asleep in a daze.

This sleep was very dark, and when I opened my eyes again, it was as dark as ink.

Tanxi faintly heard a voice shouting, "Young master, young master, wake up, wake up, it's getting dark..." The voice was not loud, it was as hoarse as a broken gong.

Tanxi hurriedly jumped up from the ground, and when she looked behind her, she saw a crumpled old pine standing upright.

The voice said again: "Young master, the old man is right in front of you."

Tanxi hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask where the Master is, Wansheng can hear the voice of the Master, but it is difficult for the naked eye to see it."

The voice said: "I am right in front of you, this old pine tree is it."

Tanxi took a closer look, and saw that the old pine was full of ancient branches and luxuriant branches and leaves, but the trunk was stronger than the other small pine trees, so it was the same, so he asked, "Is this the tree, Your Majesty?" He pointed at the old pine.

The voice replied: "It's the old man."

Tanxi stared wide-eyed, the crown of the old pine tree was not moved by the wind, she was convinced, and said: "Why did your lord wake up Wan Sheng, but staying here disturbed his practice? Wan Sheng really didn't mean to offend .”

After Tan Xi finished speaking, two green eyes appeared on the tree trunk, their eyes were very kind, "Young master is too worried."

The two fist-sized eyeballs on the tree trunk turned around, and said again: "The old man sees that the young master hangs around here, but he has lost something important. You may wish to tell the old man, or it may help you."

Tanxi muttered, you old pine has stood an inch below your feet for thousands of years, can you still run?Is it for nothing to say it?But looking at the earnest eyes of the old pine tree spirit, he said: "To tell you the truth, lately, Wan Sheng was indeed looking for something, but it has been unsuccessful, and he is quite distressed. If your lord can help, Wan Sheng will be very grateful."

"But it doesn't matter."

Tanxi got up from the damp ground, adjusted his sleeves carefully, stood respectfully to one side, and said: "The late student is looking for a kind of grass called water orchid. I wonder if your lord has heard of it?"

That old Song frowned, and said slowly: "But the thing that guides people to the underworld, half yin and half yang?"

Tanxi nodded in agreement.

The old pine closed his eyes and thought, and the green crown was silent for a while.

Tanxi stared intently at his eyes, and a moment later the old pine tree spirit suddenly opened his eyes, which made Tanxi stagger backwards and almost fell down.

Tan Xi sneered and said, "Did Your Majesty remember anything?"

The old pine said leisurely: "Just now the old man wandered into this pine forest. This grass is indeed something ordinary people can't easily see. It will take a lot of work to find it."

"How? Did you find it?" Tanxi asked anxiously.

Old Song smiled indifferently, and said: "You go straight west along the small path beside the grave mound. Don't turn around. When you go to the back of the pine forest, you can see a cliff covered by dense grass. Be careful, birds of prey and beasts often die here, it is indeed a dangerous place."

Tanxi nodded in agreement.

The old pine said again: "The water orchid grass you mentioned just now is under that cliff, and you need to venture down to see it. It's very dangerous. I hope you will think carefully before making a decision, young master."

Tan Xi frowned, and said without thinking: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me, it's just that I've been away from the mortal world for a long time, and I don't want to be a lonely ghost waiting to be wiped out. At least I'll go to the Yin Division to find out, and it's not in vain. "

The old pine shook the crown of the tree, and smiled happily: "That's right, the young master is careful all the way."

Tanxi thanked her, turned around to leave, but suddenly turned back and said, "There is one more thing about Wansheng."

Lao Song glanced at him, then picked his eyes for a while.

Tanxi said: "I am honored with such a great kindness for no reason or reason. I am really ashamed to be born late. I wonder if there is something to repay?"

That old pine laughed, and said: "You deserve it, no need to thank you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tanxi to inquire again, he hid his eyes and sat quietly in the floating dust.

Tanxi bowed deeply to the tree, turned and left.

Speaking of which, the old pine tree spirit did not help him for no reason, but Tanxi helped him first.

Ritanxi slept under a tree that day, with some unbroken yang energy on his body.It should be known that the heaven and the earth combine to create all things, and the yin and yang connect to change.That day was the key to the old pine tree spirit's thousands of years of practice. Relying on that bit of yang energy, he opened up the vein that had been stagnant for years, and finally transformed into a human appearance, and his spirit was able to escape his body. If not, it would not be able to help him A helping hand.

As the so-called knowledge of heaven, earth, gods, and ghosts, what is ignorance; good rewards, evil rewards, quick rewards, and late rewards must eventually be rewarded, and this is the reason.

Let's say that Tanxi goes straight west along that small path. It is very difficult to walk along the way with heavy night dew and thorns.

After stumbling and stumbling, I finally got out of the pine forest, and I saw a dense grass.

Take a look, it is a cliff.

It's just that under this cliff, thick clouds are churning, unfathomable, and it's unknown how dangerous it is.

Tanxi leaned on the cliff and probed down, only to see a miserable white grass seedling on the cliff not far away.

When looking down, the mist poured down for thousands of miles, and Tanxi felt dizzy for a while, so he hurriedly got up again and stepped back.

After a while, Tanxi stretched his neck to take a look again, the grass crown was indeed like a bell, but the direction pointed by the bell was where he was.

Tanxi looked down at her feet again, only to see that there was a plant under the hollowed-out cliff under her feet, and there were some low ones scattered around the corners, with grass crowns all pointing to the right.

Following the guidance of the dark grass, Tanxi searched all the way from the cliff to a cave halfway up the mountain.

The cave was about half a person high, and it was so dark that it permeated people.

Tanxi hurriedly stopped, not daring to move forward rashly.

There is a fine wind blowing from the cave, and the wind full of water vapor slides over the cheeks, smooth and sticky like silk cloth, with some dense fragrance, very greasy.

Tanxi stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, but didn't hear any strange noise inside, so she bit the bullet and got in.

When I first entered, I could only half-bow my waist, and my spine was about to be broken.

Tanxi sat down and took a breath, and couldn't help muttering: "Why is it so rough to go to the Yin Division? The old man Yama is really worrying. He is dead, and he doesn't make people safe."

As soon as the words fell, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew deep in the cave, Tanxi shuddered, accidentally bit his tongue, and hurriedly covered his mouth to dare not curse again.

After another hundred steps, the cave became shorter and shorter, and Tanxi could only stick to the ground, using all four limbs to crawl forward.

Climbing over a low slope, the breath flowed endlessly.

The world suddenly brightened.

When Tanxi listened carefully, there was a faint sound of dripping water, but his eyes were still so dark that he couldn't see his fingers.

Tanxi didn't know the purpose of this strange hole for a moment, stood up from the ground, and walked slowly along the rock wall.

The sound of dripping water is getting closer, and the road under your feet is becoming smoother and smoother, as if stepping on a golden satin quilt, it is very comfortable.

I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly I saw a ray of light not far away. Tanxi hurriedly walked in, but saw that the road forked here.

Going forward is a dark road with no bottom, and to the left is a narrow path, but there are glowing lights in the depth.

Tanxi turned into the trail without thinking about it.

Tanxi only thought that there was a way out when there was light, but she only took five steps before she was dumbfounded.

The light was actually piles of radiant golden stones, and the endless sound of dripping water was a spring dripping with golden water, dripping into a white jade pool, splashing a golden light by the side of the pool.

Tanxi swallowed hard, stretched her neck to look inside in a daze.

The blue bricks paved a flat road leading directly to the brightly lit place.

In the haze, there is a woman's delicate and melodious laughter, lingering in her ears.

One step further forward in Tanxi, a simple and dignified mansion is reflected by the colorful lights, and the gold-plated plaque on the black lacquer gate bears the words dragon, flying and phoenix dancing.

Tanxi was startled, it was the gate of Tan Mansion.
