Ghosts have fairies

The lobby of the Three Realms Transit Station is bustling with people. The traffic peak in the station is from midnight to early morning in the Human Realm. Gods, ghosts and monsters like to enter and leave the Human Realm while they are sleeping, and some fairies and men who eat yin and yang food in the Human Realm have special occupations. Most of those who have the ability to touch this transfer station will also pick this least-obtrusive time to come.

There was a long queue at the currency exchange window, crowds were crowded outside the specialty shops, and staff from many travel companies and immigration companies were distributing advertising leaflets.A tour group passed by Qi Tong, and the tour guide was waving a flag and shouting hysterically for everyone not to fall behind, making Qi Tong's brain ache from the noise.

He spent nearly half an hour with a few demons to complete various inspections in the station, and stepped on the escalator to enter the entrance to the underworld on the first floor.

The entrance is a lying city gate. The word "Underworld" on the plaque in the center has an old color. The inside of the gate is dark, and some strange lights flashed from time to time in the lingering white mist. At this moment, they are standing on the escalator It was like falling into the mouth of an invisible giant.

It has to be said that the development of tourism in the underworld has a unique advantage. The environment here can satisfy the desire and novelty hunting psychology of all species.

The underworld express M912 they were going to take departed 10 minutes later. They followed the signs and found the platform of the M912-6 car and got on the train smoothly.The biggest difference between the Underworld train is that it does not move forward as smoothly as the one in the human world after starting.

Just like now, M912 moved forward at a constant speed for 5 minutes. The track in front of it seemed to be broken suddenly and disappeared. The green indicator light above it was flashing regularly. The train is like a hanging waterfall, slowly traveling vertically downward from there.

In the train, the original front and rear seats have also become upper and lower seats, and each row of seats forms a separate small space. From a distance, it is easy to think of a jumping machine in an amusement park.

******

"How do you know He Zhen?" After the train was running smoothly, Qi Tong leaned back in his chair and prepared to dig information from his spouse's friends. There happened to be only five of them sitting in this row, and it became very safe and convenient to talk.

"It's been almost 800 years since I was flying over Yujing Mountain. I fell off and was injured. I just landed in front of Hezhen. The place was icy and snowy. He saw me pitiful, so he took me back to support the moon." The old fairy took care of her for a while." Yunxiu rubbed her arms as she spoke, as if she still felt cold when she thought about it now.

"Yujing Mountain is so cold, does he go there to see the scenery?" Qi Tong is still curious about the reason why he appeared in Yujing Mountain.

"I don't know either, and he didn't say anything after asking several times." Yunxiu squinted her eyes and recalled: "And I was already in a daze at the time, and I only vaguely saw a figure walking towards me. After a while, I felt my whole body warm up, and my vision became clearer, only to realize that it was He Zhen who took me to a cave and lit a fire for me."

"Your heart is really big. It's freezing cold. A bird fell down and lit a fire. If it was me, they would have thought that the other party was going to roast me." Yan Chuan seemed to be a little hot. A button was unbuttoned, suddenly his hand stopped, the palm patted on the front of his neck, and he reached into his pocket to search for something.

"What are you looking for?" Changying asked.

"The key I gave you before entering the building." Yan Chuan pointed to the branch that was still hanging around their necks, "It's strange, why is mine missing?"

Changying: "Did you take it off and leave it there after using it?"

"I haven't used it either." Yan Chuan pinched his chin and pondered for a while, "Could it be that I turned into a peach blossom to escape the security check?"

"Didn't you say that the validity period is three hours? Besides, someone died in Rongding, and the building will probably be closed at dawn. When your branches are found, you will have to be swept into the trash can by the cleaning staff." Qi Tong said in relief. .

Yan Chuan didn't get tangled up anymore, and changed the subject again, and asked Yunxiu, "Are you an old pilot? Why did the plane crash?"

"Ah? What about me..." Yunxiu was a little embarrassed, hesitating: "I...I can only fly a few tens of meters at most, to the level of hanging the red line for Master Yue .”

"No? How high?" Yan Chuan was so startled that he almost mouthed, "You are a black crane, you agreed to fly at a height of [-] meters? And you can't fly high, how can you fly down the elevator shaft to catch us You can’t fly high, why are you running to Yujing Mountain?”

Changying rolled her eyes and kicked Yan Chuan's ankle. Yan Chuan also realized that she had too many problems and might have left someone's wounds. Just as she was about to apologize, Yunxiu explained without paying too much attention: "I don't have talent. Back then, I was tricked by my clansmen to go to Yujing Mountain. If it wasn’t for He Zhen, I would probably have died there. At the time of the elevator shaft, it was because the red silk of the female ghost diverted my attention, and the space in the elevator shaft was small. Your elevator blocked my view of looking down again, giving me the illusion that I didn't fly very high."

"Sure enough, fire, theft, and clansmen." Changying sighed in a strange way.

"Come on, big girl." Yan Chuan said angrily, "Although you have fewer tails, your ability to seduce is stronger than that of your clan. As the saying goes: you become bald, but you also become stronger."

"What about you?" Qi Tong asked the person he was most curious about.

Bu Yehou, who was locked by his eyes, was stunned, and said: "He Zhen stayed in the human world for a period of time 700 years ago, and I knew him at that time, but I was two hundred years younger than him, and I was only half a year old at that time. I didn’t know that he was a god, but he disappeared suddenly, probably brought back to the heaven by the Emperor and Queen of Heaven. It wasn’t until another 200 years later that I met again by chance before reconnecting.”

The train slowed down slowly, and the broadcast sounded to remind passengers that they were about to arrive at the station, and they should pay attention to packing their luggage to prevent loss.Everyone finished chatting one after another, nestled back to their seats and waited to get off.

Qi Tong lowered his eyes and recalled what the two little demons said just now, what was wrong.

The time is not right.

First of all, what Yunxiu said, "This matter is almost seven or eight hundred years old." Generally, such vague time quantifiers are used to indicate that it is more than 800 years, and it will soon be 700 years, but the speaker can't remember clearly. specific number of years.

According to the official statement, He Zhen was brought back to the heavenly realm 700 years ago. Yunxiu has been in the heavenly realm since she was rescued. The difference is less than 100 years. She will not be too persistent in revising the official statement.That is to say, He Zhen was in Yujing Mountain 800 years ago and was officially brought back to the heaven 700 years ago.

Then Bu Yehou's words are very strange. He deliberately emphasized that "He Zhen stayed in the human world for a period of time 700 years ago", which conflicts with Yunxiu's words.Moreover, He Zhen was 700 years old [-] years ago, and Buyehou was [-] years old at the time, and [-] years old is not a "half-aged boy".

Bu Yehou lied, and Qi Tong squinted his eyes. The time when the tea tree spirit met He Zhen and knew that He Zhen was a fairy would have to be pushed back at least two or three hundred years.

As soon as the train arrived at the station, the four little demons who were supposed to take notes, but were actually traveling independently, rushed out of the car excitedly. Chang Ying even wrote a strategy guide on the train, and he was studying it with the other three at the moment.

Qi Tong stood aside, in order to prevent those people from getting lost, he took out his mobile phone and pulled them into a group, and then sent a cloud letter to He Zhen alone: ​​[We have arrived in the underworld. 】

As soon as the message was sent out, he was dragged onto the public cable car by several other people.After the cable car closed the door, he found a corner to stand still, and found that He Zhen had actually sent him an emoji - a cat was nodding, with the word "hmm" floating on it.

Qi Tong stared at the picture for a long time, the more he looked more like He Zhen, he couldn't help squinting his eyes and laughing.This smile was not suppressed until the cable car approached the first station, and it made several young female ghosts on the car blush.

The living area and entertainment area in the underworld are almost all built against the mountains. For example, Qi Tong's mansion is a standard mountain-view room.Although the tourism industry in the Three Realms is basically monopolized by the Human Realm, the strange and exciting landforms and unique buildings in the Underworld have still attracted a large wave of independent tourists in the past ten years.

The traffic management department here has excellent aesthetics. More than [-]% of the public transportation lines can only be passed by cable cars. Since the underworld is eternal night, every other compartment of the cable car will be dotted with warm lights, as if Kongming lanterns are flying in the lit. mountain top.

They got off the car in the central area of ​​Youdu, and Qi Tong sent them to the impermanence department to make notes, and after explaining a sentence, they went to play by themselves, and then went straight to Xuanming Palace.

"When other people get married, their parents give a house, a car, and a big gift. Why did my dad take back my most precious thing when I got married?" Qi Tong threw the ghost gate token to the person sitting in the middle of the palace as soon as he entered the door. Hand, after thinking about it, he couldn't hold back a joke.

"Small." Pluto raised his hand to take the token, stood up and pretended to pat the non-existent dust, stretched out a finger and pointed to the right, "Facing the antique fragments on that shelf, tell me what you said just now." say it again."

Qi Tong smiled embarrassingly, and quickly changed the subject, "How did you find out that there was something abnormal in the Rongding Building?" He remembered the few Yunwai letters that Pluto sent him after he forcibly hung up the phone yesterday morning.

"Luo Sanwan secretly went there twice this year, the head of the Reincarnation Office, and went to a building where innocent souls are imprisoned twice, but didn't do anything, don't you think it's strange?"

"Dad, do you think he has something to do with that white-robed man?"

"There is no conclusion on this matter for the time being, but he is concerned about the token," Pluto said, shaking the token of the ghost gate in his hand, "but he is very concerned about it. You didn't see it. Today I ordered to take back the token of the ghost gate in your hand. How happy he was when he was in the middle of the night, thinking that you could take back your token and put it under his control. With a calm expression on his face, he happily followed Wuchang to the human world to block you after leaving the gate of Xuanming Palace .”

"He bought so many votes at the time and wanted to become the general manager, so it wasn't for tokens, was it?"

"It's very possible." Pluto snorted, "Let's see what strange moves he will make next."

Qi Tong nodded, and suddenly asked again: "How about the Flesh and Flesh Lantern?"

While he was talking, a voice suddenly came through the door: "Still investigating, but do you know what the prototype of the Flesh and Flesh Lamp is?"

It was King Zhaocheng, who was slowly walking over from the door with his hands behind his back.

"Let him tell you." Pluto stretched his waist, "You have to do some work when you come to eat, don't you?"

Qi Tong hurriedly asked: "What is it? I heard about it hundreds of years ago in your City of Death, and this is the first time I've seen the real thing."

King Zhaocheng sat down with his eyes downcast, his lips curled into a smile, and the laughter burst out from his chest, making people feel bitter for no reason. He said slowly:

"There used to be a place called Yongning Village, where the villagers had a custom called 'lighting body lamps'. The hook was hooked on the shoulder, the iron needle was pierced through the back of the hand, and the incense lamp was hung under the palm. A custom of praying for atonement, eradicating predecessors, and inviting gods for blessings."

"This custom has been continued from generation to generation, until one night more than 1000 years ago, thousands of ghosts invaded Yongning Village. When arresting children in a villager's house, they accidentally knocked over the incense lamp, and the fire spread along the thatch of the house. Most of the village, more than 30 villagers who had no time to escape were burned alive in this fire.

"The incense lamps also got some aura from the villagers' praying for blessings year after year, but it didn't help them escape this catastrophe. The fire in the incense lamps actually only burned their bodies little by little. Kong left more than 30 horrific dead bones."

Qi Tong thought of the dead bones that were taken away by impermanence in the illusion, and asked: "The body is gone, but the soul should not be scattered, right?"

King Zhaocheng shook his head, "They were trapped and died in the fire, and they were wiped out together with dozens of ghosts."

"Who did it?"

The elder in front of him stared fixedly at the floor diagonally below, as if distracted, and looked up at Qi Tong after a while, "King Ling Jiang."

"It's him again?"

At this time, Pluto suddenly intervened and said, "Don't look at the countless lives that King Lingjiang has in his hands, but before the incident in Yongning Village, the biggest mistake he made was when he passed through Qi'an Town and refused to save him, causing half of the town's residents to die. Under the claws of Li Gui. This matter fermented so badly back then that all the gods, ghosts and demons of the three realms were talking about it."

"And kidnapped the Goddess of Palm Snow." King Zhaocheng added.

Qi Tong: "What's going on with King Lingjiang and Goddess Zhangxue?"

"Many years ago, he was Lingjiang Xianjun. He and the Emperor of Heaven are brothers. You should have heard of this." Pluto said, seeing Qi Tong nodded, he continued: "The Emperor of Heaven originally promised himself the Goddess of Palm Snow. Brother, but who knows that the Qi’an Town happened not long ago. The Emperor of Heaven withdrew the marriage between Lingjiang Immortal and Goddess Zhangxue in a rage, and ordered 300 years of ice punishment to be executed on the Reflection Platform on the top of Yujing Mountain. .”

Yujing Mountain?Qi Tong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this place.

King Zhaocheng said: "Immortal Lingjiang didn't want to, and had a big fight with the Emperor of Heaven in the main hall, but the Emperor of Heaven didn't waver, and immediately sent heavenly soldiers to escort him to Yujing Mountain to receive punishment. Unexpectedly, Immortal Lingjiang wounded a lot of people on the way. The Heavenly Soldiers also kidnapped the Snow Goddess and fled to the human world."

Qi Tong: "You say that all of this happened before Yongning Village, which proves that he didn't make any big moves after abducting Goddess Zhangxue and fleeing to the human world. Why did Yongning Village become a turning point?"

The two elders were silent for a moment, and Pluto looked at him and said, "Because that day, the Goddess who held the snow passed away."

Qi Tong was startled, "What?"

Pluto: "Both the heaven and the underworld have received news of the ghost cholera from the human world. In fact, he fled to the human world at that time. The Heavenly Emperor turned a blind eye and never looked carefully. But this time, Yongning Village survived by chance. Several villagers in the village pointed out that it was the fierce ghost released by King Lingjiang, and the Emperor of Heaven did not protect him any more, and ordered that King Lingjiang should be captured immediately. I saw King Lingjiang going crazy, crying hoarsely while hugging the body of Goddess Palm Snow."

"Later, some people said that Goddess Zhangxue couldn't bear the humiliation of King Lingjiang, and couldn't bear to see him do harm to the world, so she ended it on her own. Others said that Goddess Zhangxue would return to the heaven when the heavenly soldiers came, but King Lingjiang didn't want to. Simply reluctantly killed her." King Zhaocheng sighed, "But this is all guesswork, and the real reason is probably only known to King Lingjiang. But since that night, King Lingjiang has been completely crazy. Not only escaped the siege of the heavenly soldiers, but also slaughtered a small town at the foot of the mountain. Since then, his whereabouts are unknown and it is difficult to find traces, but wherever he goes, there must be rivers of blood."

******

Qi Tong left Xuanming Palace in a complicated mood, maybe the story told by King Hades and King Zhaocheng was a bit heavy, which made him feel very depressed.He sat on the corridor at the corner of the palace, took out his mobile phone and sent Mo Lu a cloud letter:

[Help me find out about the white-faced man arrested in Rongding Building, his life, date of death, places he visited, things he did after his death, and give me all that can be found. 】

There is definitely something wrong with this white-faced man. First of all, Luo Sanwan, who considers himself noble, actually asked to personally escort him back to the underworld.Next is He Zhen, why doesn't he worry about people other than Wuchang getting in touch with this white-faced man?

"Sigh." Qi Tong shook his head and said to himself: "Every one of them is not worry-free."

He just put down his phone and walked to the main road, when he raised his eyes and saw an unexpected person, Qi Tong was overjoyed, and his first reaction was to hide behind a tree to observe.

He Zhen sat on a stone bench in a park outside Xuanming Palace, with a backpack beside him, probably coming directly from the heaven.He looked up at the main entrance of Xuanming Palace, then lowered his head and typed on the phone.

Qi Tong had a hunch that he was going to send it to himself.

In the next second, the phone in his pocket vibrated.really!Qi Tong immediately took out his mobile phone. On the screen was a letter from Yunwai sent by He Zhen. He clicked on the chat interface with He Zhen. Under the cat expression pack, the latest text jumped in:

[Little Immortal: Are you still in the Underworld? 】

Is this specially for me?

If Qi Tong had a tail, he would probably be wagging it with joy right now.

It's a pity that the young master of the underworld tends to itch easily when he is happy. The two of them are clearly less than 200 meters apart, but they want to tease him. Those claws replied cheaply: [On the platform, ready to get on the train and return home What's wrong? 】

Not far away, He Zhen seemed to be staring at the phone in a daze, then bowed his head and started typing again.

Qi Tong was leaning against the tree, imagining what he would write to bring him back. After all, he saw that he was a qualified co-burial person who would turn around and return with his marriage partner including food, lodging and play.

The phone vibrated again.

【Little Immortal: Alright then. 】

Qi Tong:?

【Little Immortal: I may have to go home in two days. 】

Qi Tong:? ?

Before he could recover from these two messages, when he looked up again, he found that He Zhen had actually carried his backpack and walked to the station beside him, ready to get on the cable car leading to the scenic spot.

Qi Tong:? ? ?

Qi Tong: No...you agreed to be a lovebird in the sky?How do you say flying solo?What about co-burial people who agreed to go to the ground?Why did you leave your family and quietly pick up the corpse and go out to play? ? ?

He was about to chase after him, but he ran into Mo Lu who had just finished working overtime before taking two steps. He was looking at his phone with his head down, and Qi Tong asked him to sort out the information of the white-faced man lying on the screen. Yunwaixin.

Mo Lu: "Young master, why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to have dinner together?"

The cable car on the opposite side rang to remind him that the door was about to close. Qi Tong pushed Mo Lu away and was about to run there. Mo Lu was made nervous by him, so he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled him back, asking: "Sir Lord, what happened?"

The door of the cable car slammed shut, and the next second it began to move slowly upwards.Qi Tong patted Mo Lu's hand away, pointed to the cable car, and said anxiously: "My co-burial person flew away."

Mo Lu:?
