unlucky ghost

Hei Wuchang frowned and scolded: "You ghost, you dare not delay the errand sent by the King of Hades."

Bai Wuchang picked up the beard stick in his hand, knocked it on Hei Wuchang's body, and smiled at Tanxi: "Little devil, we are going to the underworld to do business, this is not a joke." Xi Xi sized him up, showing some surprise on his withered face, and said: "Hey, I think you are a little bit interesting..." After finishing speaking, he looked at Wuchang again.

Hei Wuchang frowned tightly, as if his anger had no place to dissipate, he said in a hateful voice: "Don't talk too much, the King of Hades has ordered us to take him away before the third watch, and you don't even know what time it is? "

Bai Wuchang smiled at the old god of Tanxi, turned around and walked on the road to Huangquan.

Tanxi was puzzled, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Your Excellency, don't go, I hope you will tell me clearly." Bai Wuchang turned his head and smiled at him, saying: "You still have yang energy in your body."

Annoyed, Heiwuchang pulled the two ghosts into the barrier together by pulling the iron chain, and scolded: "Don't tell me to talk too much, what nonsense are you talking about, let's go quickly, the road to Huangquan is still long."

After saying that, the three ghosts disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hearing Bai Wuchang's words, Tan Xi didn't take it seriously at all, if he understood the power of it, I'm afraid he would cry too.This is also a later story...

Besides, this place where yin and yang intersect is very different from the yang world. Although there are seasons here, there are only two seasons, winter and summer.

In winter, there is continuous snow and cold wind, and the sun is rarely seen; the snow melts when it meets the soil and melts when it meets water, and there is no snow on the ground.

At the end of summer, the scorching sun scorches, blood clouds curl up, and occasionally wind, rain, thunder and lightning occur together, and the freezing rain dyes the mountains, waters, orchids and grasses red...

It's such a ghostly place.

Tanxi climbed up the tree at night, and lived with a group of blood-eyed old birds, waiting pitifully like this for year after year.

The sea of ​​coquettish flowers is in full bloom on the thousands of yellow spring roads in the dark barrier, where the breeze passes by, and the blood-colored petals flutter like flying butterflies.

There are only so many roads, but none of them is his road.

In the first year, Tanxi stopped the green-faced ghost several times.

Seeing him blocking the way with empty hands, the ghost messenger was very displeased and didn't want to see him.

Tanxi didn't notice it, and couldn't bear to ask directly: "Master the official messenger, why haven't you received my official messenger yet?"

At first, the dead money ghost just prevaricated him with words: "I'm not the king of Hades, let alone a judge who ordered orders. How could I know this?" Later, he got tired of asking, and said: "Isn't there an old saying in your world that is ' As long as you work hard enough, you can grind an iron rod into a needle, you have only waited for a year, so you are in such a hurry, look at those lonely ghosts, which one has not been wandering in this woods for decades, and finally can't enter the underworld There are many."

Tanxi touched the ashes on the nose and stopped asking.

In the fifth year, Tanxi stopped the green-faced ghost again.

The ghost messenger was very surprised when he saw him and said, "Why are you still here?"

Tan Xi nodded in agreement, and begged: "Master Guancha, look, can you go in and announce the sound, so as to save the little ones from some suffering, the little ones will be grateful."

The ghost messenger saw that he was empty, so he snorted coldly and said, "Who do you think I am? I'm just a poor servant in the underworld. How can I go in and out of the Hades at will and let me know for you. The number of life and death, the poor The fate of the rich has always been the judge of the king of Hades, and we dare not talk too much, but we are just living on the salary of the underworld." After speaking, he sighed towards Tanxi and walked away slowly.

Tan Xi thought about it, but he was convinced that people have their difficulties, and ghosts have their helplessness, so he didn't stop the green-faced ghost messenger for questioning.

Can't tell how long the wait was.

Tanxi only remembers that there have been thousands of snowfalls in the sky, thousands of winds blowing on the ground, and the water orchid grass on the mountain has been dyed red by the blood rain more than ten thousand times...

After a hundred years of ignorance, the iron pestle has not been ground into a needle.

One morning, Tanxi was sleeping soundly while drooling, when suddenly he was woken up by a loud thunder, and the old ravens on the tree scattered away.

Tanxi hadn't woken up yet, and then another bolt of lightning exploded above his head, splitting the dwarf tree where Tanxi lived in half like a ghost axe.

Dead wood catches electricity and ignites a raging fire instantly.

Tanxi fell from a tree and fell to the ground, just now she woke up, saw a fire burning at her feet, so she hurriedly crawled away.

Immediately, there was a mighty rain of blood from the sky, and the raindrops dripped into the raging fire, and the flames immediately became one foot taller.

Tanxi hurriedly protected her face and hid from the rain under an old tree.

When the dead tree was burnt out and the blood rain stopped for a while, Tanxi ran over to look at it, but there were still a small branch on the ground, but it was a little green.

Tanxi hurriedly picked it up to see, a little green sprouted on the tip of the branch.

Tanxi thought to himself, it's amazing, will this rotten wood still sprout? When he looked up, he saw two ghosts, one black and one white, looking down at him.

Tanxi was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, and said, "I have seen two ghost messengers."

Bai Wuchang grabbed a jade ruyi out of thin air, raised his hand and hooked the branch in Tanxi's hand, and said with a smile, "Why is it you?"

Tanxi lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "It's just the little one. Your memory is really extraordinary."

Bai Wuchang flicked his red tongue, looked at Hei Wuchang, and said with a smile, "It's only been 80 or [-] years, how can I forget it."

Hei Wuchang stared angrily, and with a wave of his withered hand, he snatched the branch from Bai Wuchang's hand, and said slightly angrily: "You are an unscrupulous person, just now the sky was struck by thunder and burned down a tree here, the King of Hades ordered us to wait for you!" When you came to interrogate, you became talkative again, can one less word suffocate you to death?"

Bai Wuchang gave him a gouging look, and cursed back: "You are a coffin, you can't laugh, and you won't allow me to laugh, why don't you yell and scold him to death?" Then he grinned strangely at Tanxi.

Hei Wuchang glared at him, then lowered his head to observe the branch.

For thousands of years, it was the first time to see such strange things as dead trees sprouting.

Bai Wuchang also moved his head closer, two red tongues were hanging in one place.

Tan Xi was looking at the two ghosts in a daze, but saw the two ghosts raised their heads together, looked at each other with frowning brows, and then turned their heads to look at him together.

Tanxi clapped his hands hurriedly and said: "This matter is definitely not a small thing. A small person can't escape through a wall, let alone this kind of magic and immortality. I hope the two adults will learn from it..." Tanxi He bowed and did not dare to straighten his waist, for fear that the two ghosts would crush him with his fingers.

But Bai Wuchang laughed loudly and said: "It's strange, I, Bai Wuchang, have been in this underworld for thousands of years, and I saw the rotten wood sprouting in this forest for the first time. Do you know what kind of tree is in this forest?"

How did Tanxi know, she raised her head to look at Bai Wuchang, only to see Hei Wuchang staring at him viciously, and quickly lowered her head again.

Bai Wuchang patted Hei Wuchang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Little ghost, don't be afraid of him, he can't smile with his coffin face. Let me tell you, when he smiles, it's ugly and shocking, it's uglier than crying." Hundreds of times, I saw it once in the last hundred years, and I tell you, it was really..." Bai Wuchang wanted to laugh out loud, but was hit by Hei Wuchang's palm on the shoulder, shaking him a foot away, embedding into an old tree trunk.

Bai Wuchang was out of breath laughing, he transformed into a giant hand, picked himself out of the tree, walked back and stood on the spot.

Tanxi gritted her teeth and suppressed a smile, for fear of making Heiwuchang angry again.

Hei Wuchang snorted coldly and ignored it.

Bai Wuchang laughed enough, and said to Tanxi: "Just now I said that the tree here is a dark tree from ancient times. It is rooted at the junction of the nether world, sucking the cold and evil energy of the world and growing. It has no leaves, no flowers, no fruits, and no seeds. I have never seen a single speck of green in ten thousand years, so I am surprised."

Tanxi nodded and said, "Can you tell me, sir, what caused this rotten tree to germinate?"

Hei Wuchang angrily scolded: "You evil ghost, everything started because of you, and you shouted "Stop the thief!" One sentence made Tanxi dare not speak any more.

Bai Wuchang hurriedly pulled Hei Wuchang aside, turned his back and murmured in a whisper, which made Tan Xi's hair stand straight.When he turned around again, Bai Wuchang still had a smile on his face, while Hei Wuchang only faded his anger, showing no expression.

"Little ghost, do you know if you have yang energy?" Bai Wuchang asked.

Tan Xi nodded and said: "I know, that old man... that old emperor said that a hundred years ago." After finishing speaking, he took out the half-circle pendant from his bosom, and said, "Look, sir, but it?"

Bai Wuchang took the jade from the air, hung it in the air to look at it, shook his head for a while, and said: "No, no, there is yang energy on this jade, but compared with your body, it is insignificant."

Tanxi was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "How could it be? I died so early a hundred years ago, even my body was burned to ashes, how can I still have Yang energy?"

Bai Wuchang rolled his dark eyeballs up and down, and said with a chuckle, "How do I know that?"

Heiwuchang glared at Tanxi in a strange manner, and said, "Karma may be the case, who knows what evil things you have done in your previous life."

Tanxi's face was frozen, she really didn't know what evil she had done in her previous life.

Bai Wuchang nodded very friendly and looked at Tanxi with a smile.

Tanxi said: "What does this have to do with the sprouting of the rotten wood?"

Bai Wuchang hung the branch in front of Tanxi and asked, "How long have you been with that tree?"

Tanxi thought for a while, and said, "There will always be a hundred years."

Bai Wuchang nodded and laughed, shaking his long tongue and said: "That's the reason. You know, the ten thousand squares of the world, the growth and decline of yin and yang are in balance. It's just that this dark tree has only sucked the yin energy of the world and not received any yang energy for tens of thousands of years. It is the most true and pure yin body in the world. You stayed with that tree for a hundred years, because the yang energy in your body disturbed the balance of yin and yang in it, causing it to grow green with yang, which caused the thunder and fire. You...do you understand?"

Tanxi didn't understand, nodded helplessly and said: "It seems that the small one made a mistake, and it is really a sin to bring disaster to it."

Hei Wuchang was very angry, and said angrily: "Since you know your mistake, go back to the world, don't make trouble here!"

Tanxi was terrified, afraid that the coffin board would slap her apart, so she hurriedly looked pitifully at Bai Wuchang.

Bai Wuchang tore the sleeves of his white linen shirt and threw it on Hei Wuchang's chest, he said with a giggle, "Damn Coffin, don't frighten him again, this kid is going to lose his soul because of you."

Tanxi hurriedly bowed to Bai Wuchang to thank him.

Bai Wuchang said: "Little ghost, since you still have yang energy, don't stay in this land that is neither yin nor yang. Presumably this is God's will, it should have been your fate, if you listen to my white ghost's persuasion, you will Go back to Yangjian, wait until the yang energy dissipates, and wait for the ghost messenger to hook you, so as not to suffer another hundred years of loneliness here."

Tanxi nodded in agreement.

Bai Wuchang asked again, "How did you find this place?"

Tanxi said: "I came here looking for the grass."

Bai Wuchang held his tongue and nodded, thought for a moment and said: "If you are really willing to return to the mortal world, I will tell you a way. It is not difficult to return to the mortal world."

Somehow, when she heard that she had returned to the mortal world, Tanxi felt a little joy for no reason.

"Our impermanence only seduces souls, but does not send ghosts. If you are willing to go back, just go to the dry forest on the night of the full moon, pluck that old raven feather, and when it flies to the world, it will take you to the world. As for Where to settle depends on your good luck." After speaking, he smiled sinisterly, and said: "Just now I looked at the sky, and the moon will be full tomorrow, so if you want to return to the world, you should do it as soon as possible."

Tan Xi hurriedly lowered his head to thank him, and when he got up again, the two ghosts had already left.

Bai Wuchang was chatting and laughing happily, and there was a vague sentence in the wind: "That little devil is really unlucky, he has been alone for a hundred years in this place where there is no yin or yang, tsk tsk..." Hei Wuchang scolded: "You just talk too much... ..." Bai Wuchang said again: "No matter how you say it, you have to sell that old judge, isn't it..."

The author has something to say:

So, happy new year.

May the new year be full of sunshine and hope

Put your hands together and wish...
