Cangzhou monster story

It is snowing in Cangzhou tonight.

Boss Meng dreamed of the scene when senior brother Meng Wuying left again. It was many years ago, and he hadn't dreamed of him for a long time.Maybe the snowy moon is too cold tonight, like many years ago.

The Snow Song Sword hums in the night, the snowy night is silent, the cold wind blows straight out of the floating clouds, and it seems like it can be close to the moon with a raised hand.Senior brother always said that Cangzhou is too comfortable, and the flashy world is easy to be addicted to, but the blood-drinking sword cannot be addicted, let alone him.That night, the snow was cold and the moon was cold. When we left after leaving, when will we return?

Yin Xue and drinking blood, they should have been together, and only when two swords unite can they stand alone in the rivers and lakes.But now the Snow Song Sword has been silent for too long, and it has been dimmed in everyone's speech, becoming a distant legend.At this moment, it was moaning beside Boss Meng's pillow, seemingly unwilling.

It finally fell silent again when the sun was shining.A Ling, a little girl in the store, ran up yelling and told a strange thing.

It was indeed a strange thing, it snowed overnight, neither purple air came from the east, nor any auspiciousness from heaven, the dead tree in front of the store unexpectedly grew green buds overnight.The pointed green leaves hang on the branches, trembling in the cold wind.It was just a one-night event, and it has already attracted devout men and women in the city to burn incense and bow down under the tree.A Ling looked at the door and sighed, "Perhaps the Bodhisattva has appeared."Boss Meng said, "I'm afraid this tree has become a spirit."

Because of this tree, the business in the shop was unprecedentedly busy. A Ling brought pots of warm sake to the table and took down the empty pot. She looked at her boss sitting in front of the shop with resentment With a jug of wine, he watched comfortably at the door where the men and women worshiped the sacred tree devoutly.The small shop, which had been bustling all day, completely quieted down at the top of the sunset hill. A Ling seemed to be vigorously sweeping the melon seed shells all over the floor with a broom, especially when she reached Boss Meng's feet.He stepped on the broom and said, "If you don't work hard, your wages will be deducted."A Ling stared and said angrily, "Boss, this month's wages have been withheld five days ago."Boss Meng moved his foot away in embarrassment.According to the rules in the store, wage deductions can only be deducted for the current month, this little girl is sure that today he has nothing to do with her.

Cangzhou after dark is extremely boring. During the day, there is a market full of traffic, singing and singing, and there is a curfew after sunset.A Ling lit the soul-inducing incense in the room, and the sweet and greasy fragrance made people drowsy, and the two fell on the soft bed while drinking and playing cards.A Ling lost several times in a row, and threw away her cards angrily to go to bed. Boss Meng kicked her down, "Don't sleep, we have guests tonight."A Ling jumped up with all her teeth and claws to pinch him, and she yelled, "Whether he's welcome or not, first strangle you, a black-hearted boss."

Before she touched Boss Meng's clothes, she was kicked to the ground again, and she was about to stand up again when she was interrupted by the sound of soul bells at the door.The bell rang and the guest arrived. Before A Ling could get up, a gust of wind blew in with snow particles and lifted the curtain. Outside the door, a little girl with silver hair was combing two buns with a small silver bell hanging under her bun, her eyes were It is red, shining like glass beads, and the white clothes are rolled with fluffy edges, like a small glutinous rice ball.She entered the door and saluted Shi Shiran, and said crisply, "Master".

A Ling stayed on the ground, looked at her boss and then at the little glutinous rice balls and said, "Boss, I've seen a lot of ghosts in white clothes, and this is the first time I've seen white hair."Boss Meng picked up a card and threw it on her head, "What nonsense, when have you seen such a pleasing ghost?" So some outsiders still kept their boss's three-point face and didn't make a sound.It was no wonder that she had opened the door to welcome guests for many years, and this was the first time a little goblin came to her door.

Boss Meng raised his hand to pour the wine and said, "Little Rabbit, I'm afraid you've gone to the wrong place."

She shook her head, "I'm here to find you."

A Ling had already woken up from her resentment towards Boss Meng, looked up and down the little rabbit in front of her and said, "There are really goblins in this world."After thinking about it, he said, "The shop is only in the business of attracting souls to save lives, but not selling cultivation." After thinking for a while, he said, "I also don't sell people's hearts for you to eat."

Boss Meng threw another card over, and said with some embarrassment, "He is serious about cultivating immortals, not something that eats people's hearts."A Ling stuck out her tongue and stopped talking. Boss Meng said to Xiaotangyuan, "But we really don't sell cultivation, and we don't do business with demons."

Little Tang Yuan suddenly had tears in his eyes, and he looked like he was about to cry, "Please help me, my lord."

Boss Meng took a sip of his wine and said, "Since you can find it, you know that I only accept people's dreams as rewards. You little monsters have no dreams and no illusions. Give me what you want, or go."

But he didn't forget to show her the way, "From now on, you will go all the way west to Dunhuang, and there is a shop in the city called Huahunzhai that does business with little demons."

Little Tang Yuan begged unrelentingly, "I beg you to help me, only you can help me", and held out a silk handkerchief.

He was almost blinded by the white veil in front of him, and stretched out his hand to beckon the veil over.The gauze was cut into squares, with a drop of bright red blood stained in the middle, like a piece of cinnabar falling on the snow.As soon as it fell into his hands, the drop of blood suddenly spread out, forming a red lotus.It had been years since anyone had come to him with it.He held the silk handkerchief tightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Where did this thing come from?"

Xiao Tangyuan hurriedly said, "A swordsman gave it to me. He said that as long as he looks for you here, you will be able to help me."

He laughed, but that smile never reached his eyes, do you think so highly of me?That's all, that's all, he shook his head, drank the cold residual wine in his glass and said, "You go first today, I'll help you."

The little glutinous rice balls were overjoyed, and went with a thousand thanks.

Boss Meng leaned on the cushion a little slumped, threw the wine glass in his hand onto the desk and said, "Turn off the lights and go to sleep."

A Ling glanced at him with some apprehension, and said as if worried, "Master, are you not going to do business tonight?" But she didn't hear the answer, and when she turned around, she found that her unscrupulous boss had fallen asleep on the couch. It's just that a tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye into his hair.

The second day was still a happy day, and the business in the store was getting better and better every day as the end of the year was getting closer, so A Ling was very angry when she heard that her boss was going to close the shop today, "I don't want any money delivered to the door. , you drink all day, the money in the store is about to be consumed by you, it is a good time to do business, and you are going to close the store!?"

Boss Meng straightened his collar, brushed his hair around his temples and asked her, "Does it look like the cockroach next door?" A Ling immediately jumped into a rage, "It's Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, not a cockroach!" He nodded nonchalantly, picked up the medicine box on the side and gave it to her, "Take it".A Ling was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing with this in broad daylight?"
