There are always monsters disturbing my study

The warm wind is blowing, and the willows are drooping.

The chubby Yi Xiaoxuan looked so out of place among a group of peasant girls in hairpin and thorn skirts.

But the girls didn't care about Yi Xiaoxuan who was wearing a strange dress, they still beat the clothes in their hands with wooden sticks, laughing and playing around.

Yi Xiaoxuan pinched himself.

pain.If it's not a dream, then it should be entering the ghost realm.

At this moment, Yi Xiaoxuan's first reaction was that Zhong Mengchen would probably be angry.

Zhong Mengchen warned him for a long time in advance, but he was still "captured" by Huang Quan.Yi Xiaoxuan couldn't imagine Zhong Mengchen's face.

But he could imagine that the fox's ear hairs stood up one by one, as if there were no small thorns growing on the ears.

However, Zhong Mengchen said before that as long as he holds the little fox transformed from fox fur, he will not be in danger.Now he was holding the little fox himself and was captured by Huang Quan, so it shouldn't be his own problem, right?

Yi Xiaoxuan heaved a sigh of relief after panicking.Based on his understanding of Zhong Mengchen, Zhong Mengchen should not be angry this time.

After confirming that Zhong Mengchen would not be angry, Yi Xiaoxuan was in the mood to observe his surroundings.

Zhong Mengchen said that he had a "contract" with him, and it was as if he had brought a positioning navigation, even if the road was as crazy as Zhong Mengchen, he could find the way accurately.As long as he protects himself well before Zhong Mengchen comes, it shouldn't be a big problem.

He lowered his head to glance at the fox fur bracelet on his wrist, and then touched the crystal flower that his grandfather gave him, feeling more confident.

Zhong Mengchen is the only big monster.Even if a ghost deceived Zhong Mengchen and abducted him, Zhong Mengchen would definitely be able to protect himself from the air.

What's more, Zhong Mengchen said that he is also very good.If the ghost really dared to hurt him, he would fight the ghost just like fighting a human.

Yi Xiaoxuan, an orphan without father and mother, is very familiar with such things as fighting.

It was a bit hot in Huangquan, Yi Xiaoxuan ignored the young girls washing clothes by the stream, found a broken thatched hut on the bank, hid in a deserted corner, and took off his down jacket, sweater, woolen pants, etc.

He ended up wearing only a pair of chunky jeans and a light sweater, leaving everything else on the floor.

Yi Xiaoxuan moved his hands and feet on the spot.Fortunately, he forgot to buy plush boots this time, and still wore sneakers with baby warmers on them. Otherwise, even if he changed clothes, he would not be able to move around easily.

"Let's hide here." After Yi Xiaoxuan exercised his hands and feet, he found a clean place to sit in the thatched hut.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the ghost does not move, he will sit here until Zhong Mengchen comes.

But obviously, the ghost captured Yi Xiaoxuan into Huangquan and would not let him go easily.

Soon, Yi Xiaoxuan heard the singing he had heard outside the ghost domain again.

The singing was much more cheerful than what I had heard before.From the singing, Yi Xiaoxuan not only heard the woman's joy, but also a hint of shy longing.

Although Yi Xiaoxuan didn't know what song the woman sang, he also guessed that the song the woman sang was probably related to love.

Reminiscent of the desolation of the women's singing he heard outside the ghost domain, could it be that this time the demon's human obsession met a heartbreaker?

"Jing Lang, why are you here?"

When Yi Xiaoxuan was thinking about it, a woman holding a tub came in and said in surprise.

Jing Lang?The name of the heartbroken woman?

Yi Xiaoxuan looked at the woman.

The woman had bruises on her neck, bloodstains all over her fingers and arms, and her eyeballs were protruding outwards. She looked like she had died tragically.

Yi Xiaoxuan, the ghost of the tragic death, has seen many times, so he is not afraid.

Yi Xiaoxuan didn't know who Jing Lang was, so he could only stand up from the ground, ready to run away at any time.

The woman didn't show any malice towards him now, it would be safer for him to wait and see what happened.

"Is the school on holiday today?" The woman completed the logic and setting on her own.

There was a hint of joy and surprise on her face, and even her dark purple lips became a lot redder.

It's just that no matter how beautiful the red lips are paired with her dark complexion, it only adds a bit of ghostly air.

"Yes." Yi Xiaoxuan replied following the woman's words, "But I have to go back immediately."

The woman showed a trace of sadness, but she quickly recovered her smile: "Study is a big deal, and you shouldn't relax even on vacation. I made some new clothes for you, and you take them to the school. Wait first!"

The woman put down the wooden basin in her hand, turned around and walked outside the dilapidated thatched hut.

Yi Xiaoxuan followed the woman out of the thatched cottage.

He just changed clothes in the thatched hut for a while, not more than 10 minutes before entering the thatched hut, the morning sun outside the thatched hut has turned into the setting sun, and the young girls doing laundry on the shore have disappeared, replaced by a few farmers carrying hoes Twos and threes of us passed by outside the house.

When these farmers saw the woman, they all showed lustful eyes.But when they saw Yi Xiaoxuan, their expressions immediately became apprehensive, and their pace couldn't help but quicken.

"Bah!" The woman who was very gentle to Yi Xiaoxuan, when facing those farmers, her expression immediately became aggressive, and she even spat directly.

"Those peasants in the mountains are all out of shape, and they deserve to have their ears twisted off by the women at home." The woman scolded a few words, then turned her head and said, "Jing Lang, don't come back if you have nothing to do, those scholars in the school are the ones you deserve Contact."

"It's okay." Yi Xiaoxuan said casually.

The woman's face turned red, and there was a tinge of blood on her green and black face, which made her look even more terrifying: "I, I know that you care about me, but your fame is the most important thing. You are a scholar, and the family member It's none of your business to worry about."

Very nice woman.Yi Xiaoxuan, who can see the real appearance of this woman now, is inevitably a little sad.

But the woman misunderstood Yi Xiaoxuan's expression, and hurriedly said: "You, I, I'm not talking about you, you can come back if you want. I'm naturally happy when you come back."

Yi Xiaoxuan: "Thank you." Is he supposed to answer like that?

The woman pursed her lips and smiled, the crimson color on her face deepened, and she said coquettishly, "Why do you thank me?"

The woman turned her head and stopped looking at Yi Xiaoxuan.She made a gesture of collecting clothes, as if there were freshly washed clothes hanging outside the house.

But in Yi Xiaoxuan's eyes, she was just grabbing some air, as if she was performing an absurd drama.

Yi Xiaoxuan took advantage of the woman's "clothes collection" and began to look around, ready to run away at any time.

But when his eyes fell on a half-withered giant tree in front of the thatched house, his brows were slightly frowned.

The branches of this tree look familiar.

Just as Yi Xiaoxuan was thinking, a large ball of fluff fell from the sky and smashed hard on the giant tree.

With a "crack", the fluffy fluff got stuck on the branch of the tree, but the branch did not break off.

Yi Xiaoxuan widened his eyes in surprise.

He finally remembered why the tree looked familiar.Isn't this the tree in the thatched house in his dream?

Although the trees looked roughly the same, once the big fox lay down on the tree, it would definitely look the same!

The big fox that was stuck on a branch that looked like it was about to wither, but was unexpectedly very strong, didn't do anything stupid this time, and immediately turned into a little fox and fell from the tree.

"Yi Xiaoxuan, I'm here to save you! Did that ghost capture you! I'll burn her to death right now!" The little fox bounced off the ground like a cannonball, jumped onto Yi Xiaoxuan's head, hugged her Looking at Yi Xiaoxuan's face, he said.

Yi Xiaoxuan hurriedly tore off the little fox from his face and hugged him: "Don't burn it, I don't think she looks bad-hearted."

"Why not? You didn't smell the rotten smell on her body. She has definitely done evil things!" The little fox covered his nose and said, "I don't know what you saw in the memory fragments, but even if you sympathize with her Encounter, when she hurts the innocent, she has already embarked on the road of no return, you know!

"This is the same as those dregs who have a miserable life experience and go to revenge society to chop passers-by or even students. They don't deserve your sympathy!"

The little fox's long and narrow eyes widened: "Did you hear that! What's your answer!"

"I heard it. I'm not sympathetic...I haven't seen her memory fragments yet." Yi Xiaoxuan said, "Don't you think it's weird? You ran in, and she was still talking and doing things on her own, It's like I didn't see you. I think this ghost domain is a bit strange."

"Didn't you say that even if you planted the ghost domain with rules, the owner of the ghost domain is still awake in his own ghost domain? She doesn't look sober, is it because she is not the owner of the ghost domain ?”

"No, she must be! She still has a strong smell of old sauerkraut noodles on her body! It must be that stone!" The little fox jumped to the ground, and after turning into a human, he made some calculations, "It's her! Go and burn her!"

Yi Xiaoxuan quickly grabbed Zhong Mengchen's arm: "That's right! I found out that this tree might be the one where I met the white fox in my dream!"

The topic Yi Xiaoxuan changed this time finally calmed down the furious Zhong Mengchen.

"Are you sure?" Zhong Mengchen protected Yi Xiaoxuan behind him, and looked at the tree that made him make a fool of himself.

Zhong Mengchen spread out his right hand, and a blue-black flame emerged from his right hand: "I'll burn it first. This tree is indeed a bit evil."

How could the evil sect be able to hold him back?

Yi Xiaoxuan opened his mouth slightly, but stopped talking.

Zhong Mengchen was so angry today that he would burn things at every turn.Otherwise, let him try to burn the tree first, which is better than burning that ignorant female ghost.

Yi Xiaoxuan kept his mouth shut, acquiescing to Zhong Mengchen to burn the tree.

Zhong Mengchen lifted the hand holding the flame slightly, and the flame flew towards the big tree. Halfway through the flight, it was blocked by an invisible barrier, and the flame turned into sparks and dissipated.

Zhong Mengchen: "..."

Zhong Mengchen rolled up his sleeves.

"Little fox, don't worry about it. Seeing that I've been a fox catcher for you for so many years, I'm almost buried in the ground. Will you leave me a whole corpse?"

An old voice sounded.

The woman who was putting away her clothes paused, like a marionette, she turned her neck 180 degrees to look at Zhong Mengchen and Yi Xiaoxuan.

"Oh, I can't hold it anymore. Old friend, can I use your golden light of merit to send her to reincarnation." The old voice said again.

Zhong Mengchen's big tail popped out from behind, tightly tied to Yi Xiaoxuan's waist: "Don't borrow, don't give, get out. Who are you, pretending to be familiar! Let me burn her, just a little Human obsession, ashes to ashes to ashes is good for everyone."

Yi Xiaoxuan suddenly felt that it seemed reasonable.This is not a real human soul, but just a strand of obsession, maybe it doesn't matter if it is burned?

"Then I will return to ashes and ashes." The old voice said helplessly, "I finally awakened a ray of soul from the long dormant period, but was entangled by human resentment and became one. Am I not unlucky? Borrow a wisp, a little wisp."

Zhong Mengchen rolled his eyes, put his hands in his sleeves, and moved his ears: "Alright. Bring the price."

The old voice laughed: "Your temperament is completely different from when I knew you."

Zhong Mengchen said unhappily: "The me in my previous life and the me in this life are two different foxes, of course they are completely different. Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what you can give. Now this resentment is about to pounce on me, she When I rushed over, I burned her in self-defense."

When Zhong Mengchen was bargaining with the old voice, the woman who looked like a marionette fell to the ground, and then squirmed towards them like a bug.

"Oh, okay. If you saved me, I will work hard for you and prop up the space of the spirit world for you. You don't need to put your body there to support it yourself. I am also a spiritual root, so it is easy to prop up a space. .” The old voice seemed to have known about Zhong Mengchen’s existence for a long time, and he readily expressed that he would go to Zhong Mengchen.

Zhong Mengchen said: "Give Yi Xiaoxuan a drop of original essence."

The old voice was silent for a long time, and when the woman was about to crawl in front of Zhong Mengchen, he sighed: "Okay."

Zhong Mengchen smiled and grabbed Yi Xiaoxuan's right wrist: "Recite the formula I taught you in my heart."

Yi Xiaoxuan immediately followed suit.

Zhong Mengchen pulled out a strand of gold thread from Yi Xiaoxuan's index finger, and the gold thread flew towards the woman, binding her firmly: "You are going to enter her memory fragments soon. I will go with you, don't worry .”

Yi Xiaoxuan nodded, and the familiar fainting struck.

……

"Jing Lang, the capital is luxurious, you have to take this money with you, it's easy to manage along the way." The woman looked gentle, and stuffed the cloth bag in her hand to the long-clothed man in front of her.

The long-clothed man sighed: "I will go to my friends in the village. After arriving in the capital, I will work as a teacher in a private school at a friend's home. You don't need to bring too many belongings. You keep these belongings with you."

"I'm in the village, so I don't need these things." Although the woman's expression was gentle, her words were firm, with a tone that would not allow the man in the long gown to refuse.

The long-clothed man lowered his head and smiled wryly: "Although I am a Juren, I never let you have a good day."

"You are a scholar, and a scholar should study hard, and you don't need to worry about other things." The woman said.

The long-clothed man said sadly: "But I still caused you to suffer from other people's gossip."

The woman said coquettishly, "That's because they are jealous of me. After you pass the Jinshi exam, even if I make you a concubine, it will make them sour."

The long-clothed man immediately said seriously: "Am I such a person with no conscience? No matter whether I succeed in this exam or not, I will definitely marry you."

The woman blushed.She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, pursed her lips and nodded.

……

"Hey, this person..." Zhong Mengchen took Yi Xiaoxuan into his arms with one hand, and tied his tail around Yi Xiaoxuan's waist again, "The breath is a bit like your grandfather."

Yi Xiaoxuan was a little uncomfortable with Zhong Mengchen's overly intimate actions, and was taken aback when he heard this: "My grandfather?"

"Jinglang Jinglang, your grandfather's surname also happens to be Jing, this man can't really be the source of your grandfather's human obsession?" Zhong Mengchen said, "Did you hear your grandfather talk about your grandma?"

Yi Xiaoxuan shook his head.

"It seems that your grandfather's human obsession has nothing to do with this woman." Zhong Mengchen said.

Yi Xiaoxuan felt a little uncomfortable: "Maybe... isn't it?"

Zhong Mengchen: "Well, if you say no, then it's not."

Yi Xiaoxuan felt even more uncomfortable.He knew that Zhong Mengchen had already said that, so he must have basically made up his mind.But when I thought that my grandfather might be the "heartbreaker" of this miserable woman, I couldn't accept it.

"What's your expression? Even if his human obsession really comes from this person, this person is not necessarily a bad person. If it is a bad person, there will be no good memories in the memory fragments you see."

As if he could read minds, Zhong Mengchen saw through Yi Xiaoxuan's thoughts: "Besides, this man really did something wrong to others, what does it have to do with your grandfather? You have been with your grandfather for so long, who is he?" You still don't know? Do you think that Xiang Huai and Xiang Lei have a great relationship?"

"Father-son relationship?" Yi Xiaoxuan accidentally dropped his tongue.

Zhong Mengchen laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, hahaha, Yi Xiaoxuan, you are so funny."

Yi Xiaoxuan looked away awkwardly, not looking at Zhong Mengchen.He didn't know why he was talking nonsense.

"Keep watching." Zhong Mengchen said, "After reading it, you go and tell her that it has been a long time since she died, her benefactor, enemy and lover have long been turned into mud, and her obsession should also dissipate."

"The old tree still has a little consciousness of its own, and will not be disturbed by human obsessions. So as long as the resentment in her obsession dissipates, the old tree will be able to sprout new shoots."

Yi Xiaoxuan asked: "Isn't that a rock?"

"Tree fossils." Zhong Mengchen said.

Yi Xiaoxuan doesn't know much about tree fossils, but he also knows that fossils cannot be formed in millions of years.However, the old tree is a monster, and it is estimated that it is not bound by the ordinary physical rules of the earth.

In the memory fragments, the woman watched the man go away under the willow tree.

Then year after year, spring goes and autumn comes, and then winter snow covers the whole small village.

The woman would wait under the willow tree every day, and then return disappointed again and again.

Yi Xiaoxuan learned about this woman's situation from the memory fragments that had been repeated and waited for an unknown number of times.

The woman and Jing Lang were originally neighbors, but when they encountered an epidemic, they were the only two left in the woman's and Jing Lang's family.

This is naturally at odds with etiquette.But in the mountain village, most people live together as long as they are engaged.The woman and Jinglang have no elders in their family, so they decide everything by themselves, and it is nothing to get engaged for themselves.

It's just that Jing Lang is too good at studying, and he was admitted to Juren in less than [-] years, and became a fragrant bun in this place, and that woman became a thorn in the side of the people nearby, and there were many slanders.

But that Jing Lang was not a heartless person, even if he was successful, he never thought of abandoning that woman.He rejected many matchmakers, and kept saying that a bad wife would not go to court.

Jing Lang promised the woman that after going to Beijing to rush for the exam, it goes without saying that if he gets a Jinshi, even if he fails, he can find a good livelihood as a juren, and he will definitely be able to save a Fengguan Xiapei for the woman.

"She's still waiting." Zhong Mengchen frowned, "And there is still no resentment in her memory fragments."

Yi Xiaoxuan looked at the woman who was guarding the small hut, drying the books left by the man one by one, with no trace of resentment on her expression.

Does she still not complain now?

So when did she start complaining?

"It's coming." Zhong Mengchen seemed to have sensed something in advance, he quickly protected Yi Xiaoxuan, and the thin flame barrier blocked the grievances that seemed to be like mud.

The repeated waiting came to an end, and a "ghost" with colorful hair and eyes entered the village.

Those who have helped women, those who have bullied women, those who have comforted women, and those who have ridiculed women have all fallen under the sound of sharp knives and gunshots.

Knowing that she could not escape, the woman hanged herself on the beam of the thatched hut.

Her soul hadn't dissipated yet, and when there was still a breath of hot air in her chest, the "ghost" broke in and took down her warm body with a grinning grin.

At this moment, her resentment broke out completely, and was absorbed by a sleeping tree fossil at the bottom of the house.

It's a pity that the ghost's resentment can't help the living people with strong yang energy.Even if she becomes a ghost, she can't prevent the next tragedy from happening, let alone avenge herself and her fellow villagers.

She stayed in the hut day and night and wept, her mind gradually became deranged, and her resentment began to attract people with strong inspiration into Huangquan, and accompany her to live the days before Jinglang left over and over again.

At that time, even the gossip and rumors of the villagers were filled with happiness.

The victim eventually becomes the perpetrator.

Fortunately, the tree spirit woke up in time, suppressed the evil human obsession, and sent the tempted person out.If she had the lives of innocent people in her hands, it would be completely hopeless.

Yi Xiaoxuan grabbed the clothes in front of his chest, and couldn't accept the ending for a moment.

He thought it was the heartbroken man who failed the woman, which caused the woman's tragic death on the side.

But I once thought of a sour love story, but in the end it was matched with the ending of the country's destruction and family destruction.

In the troubled times, any waiting without resentment or hatred has come to naught, and I can't even cry about the injustice of God.

Because that's how it was.

Zhong Mengchen was already very calm.

Most of the ghosts he encountered were born in this way, but Xiang Huai is actually a wonderful little freshman.

When the country was in turmoil, it caused great changes in the world, and the misery in the troubled times gave birth to the most obsessions. The combination of the two gave birth to the special creature "ghost".

Among these "ghosts" there were many brave people at that time.But the sad thing is that once you become a ghost, you have nothing to do with human beings, and your obsession is tantamount to despair that you can't get rid of.

Until Zhong Mengchen appeared, he opened up a channel for the ghosts and the human world to communicate with each other, and built a new residence for the ghosts and the newly born monsters.

"Go and tell her that the matter is over." Zhong Mengchen retracted his tail, took Yi Xiaoxuan's hand and said, "I'll be with you, don't be afraid."

Yi Xiaoxuan shook his head.He's not scared, just sad.

The woman kept the appearance of death, standing there blankly, like a wooden sculpture.

"Jing Lang..." When the woman saw Yi Xiaoxuan, there was a gleam in her eyes.

Yi Xiaoxuan just wanted to say that he was not the one the woman was waiting for, but suddenly he felt his chest burning.

Zhong Mengchen raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what a coincidence. Take out the pendant your grandfather gave you."

Yi Xiaoxuan hurriedly pulled the pendant out of his clothes.The beige spar florets are emitting faint fluorescence.

Zhong Mengchen held Yi Xiaoxuan's hand again, and directed the golden light of his merit to Xiaohua.

Scattered memory fragments appeared in front of several people like a holographic projection.

In the memory fragments, the man in the long coat wrote the family letter over and over again, and then threw the family letter into the brazier.

Where he is, is a prison.

Even if the family letter is completed, no one will deliver it for him.
