Strange Tale

Si Ren turned his head and blinked one eye, "Isn't it you?"

Long Jiu rolled his eyes at him and stopped talking.

When the main hall arrived, Lanzhi let Si Ren and Long Jiu into the room, and an old lady also in mourning came up to her, "You two distinguished guests, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Why in this garden, except for Lanzhi, all the people are dressed in sackcloth and mourning, and they died together during the mourning period?

While muttering in his heart, Si Ren bowed to Lan Zhi's mother, "Your junior is bothering you."

Long Jiu raised his hand and gestured without saying anything.

The old lady exchanged a few words with Si Ren, called a servant to lead the way, said that the food and wine had been prepared, and invited Si Ren and Long Jiu to the banquet to talk in detail.

The wine is the wine of Yangjian, and the food is also ordinary food.But they eat by dividing cases, and sit on the floor.In addition to Lanzhi and her mother, there are also Lanzhi's two sister-in-laws and a younger sister.

Si Ren continued to speculate in his mind: All of them are female relatives, what about men?In this kind of situation, he should be killed in battle... Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Long Jiu, who drank the wine unpreparedly when someone raised his glass.Si Ren knew that he was not afraid, he didn't pay attention to the ghosts in this yard at all.That's right, he's really nothing to be afraid of.

"Why don't you drink, sir?" Lanzhi suddenly looked over.

Si Ren withdrew his gaze, raised his glass and smiled, "Drunkenness is a mistake, why don't you tell us why you came here first."

Lanzhi's mother looked at Si Ren and Long Jiu, "Since Mr. said so, then I will cut to the chase and not beat around the bush."

Lanzhi is called Moranzhi.His father, Mo Zheng, was the governor of Jeju during the Northern Qi Dynasty.The husband she has never met is Jiang Shaozong, the city guard general.Jiang Mo's two families are family friends, and they married Shaozong and Mo Lanzhi.

It was the last year of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty led his army to attack Qi.The day when the capital Yecheng was breached was the day of great joy for Jiang Shaozong and Mo Lanzhi.Zhou Jun passed through Yecheng and went straight to Jeju. When the news came, Jiang Shaozong took off his wedding clothes and put on his war robe. He led his troops out of the city to fight the enemy without even taking off Mo Lanzhi's hijab.

Three days later, Jiang Shaozong died in battle, and his body was carried back with several arrows in his body. Moranzhi, who had been waiting in the bridal chamber without much food or drink, immediately fell unconscious.

Then Mo Zheng took two sons and a grandson to lead the army to defend the city and resist desperately.Soon the news of the death of the four grandparents came, and at the same time Zhou Jun began to withdraw due to heavy casualties.As a result, Empress Qi Gao Wei abdicated to his son Gao Heng, fled to Jeju, and sent someone to carry the seal and send it to Yingzhou, preparing to give the throne to Gao Huang, the king of Rencheng.

Gao Wei felt that the Mo family's army was too brave and killed too many enemies. He was afraid that the Zhou army's reinforcements would turn around and fight back. He actually had all the family members of the Mo family arrested and wanted to chop off their heads and send them to the Yuwen family to reassure the Zhou army. angry.

As the news spread, the Jiang family sent people to rescue Mo Zheng's family and sent them to another village outside the city.At this time there was Gao Wei before and Zhou Jun behind, so when Mo Lanzhi, who had not taken off her wedding dress, arrived at the villa, Mrs. Mo had taken all the members of the Mo family to commit suicide by taking poison.Moranzhi lost all hope, and immediately took Jiang Shaozong's relic, the Flying Star Sword, and wiped her neck, followed her parents and husband.

After the death of all members of the Mo family, Gao Wei and Gao Heng continued to flee to Qingzhou, and were finally captured by Zhou Jun in Nandeng Village and tortured to death by pepper plugs.

The Jiang family buried the members of the Mo family on the mountain and closed the villa thereafter. Since then, the mountain has been called the Mo Family Mountain.

Mo Lanzhi soon found her mother, sister-in-law and younger sister after her death, but the souls of her father Mo Zheng, her two brothers and her nephew never disappeared.In this way, they have been waiting on Mojia Mountain for thousands of years, until today.

Everyone in the vicinity knew that there were ghosts on the mountain. Decades later, during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, Mojiashan was renamed Guishan.And because they have never harmed anyone, the ghosts of the Mo family and the ordinary people in the original Jeju and now Bugui City have always lived in peace without disturbing each other for thousands of years.But recently, an unexpected visitor came to the city, and the life of the souls of the Mo family was difficult.

A bearded Taoist who claimed to be the bearded immortal master took a green ox spirit and passed by Guishan once, and then stayed in the city of Bugui and never left. .He said he could hunt ghosts, and he set a date for hunting ghosts, tonight.He has made an agreement with some people in the city who believed in him: tonight he will go to the mountain to hunt ghosts, and tomorrow morning people will come from the city to demolish the garden.

Speaking of this, Si Ren finally understood: It turned out that what they wanted to ask him for help was to deal with the bearded Taoist priest and the people who came to demolish the manor.

"Why?" Si Ren didn't understand, "Why do you want us to help? If you can't even deal with a small Taoist priest, how can you stay in this mountain for so many years? I'm afraid you have been taken away long ago? Even if there are young The theory that the bull-bearded slave town hides ghosts should only be for new ghosts."

Lanzhi nodded, "Of course the stinky Taoist and Qingniu Jing can't do anything to us, but the problem is that he called people from the city to demolish the villa. If the garden is gone, our shelter will be gone. Even if there is a private house We don't want to leave the tombstone in the wilderness, but it was left to us by the Jiang family, and I can't let it be taken down for no reason."

"So? What do you want me to do?"

"Sir, will you help?"

"Tell me first, how can I help you?"

"Well... we will deal with Taoist priests and Qingniujing ourselves, don't worry about Mr. We only hope that Mr. can help stop the people in the city, and then find out what happened to the sudden death of many people who have not returned to the city recently, explain It is clear, and we are innocent. Although the people of my Mo family are ghosts now, they have never harmed anyone. Don’t say that they are bewitched by evil, even if there are passers-by, we have never said that we have scared anyone once. "

"Then what are you going to do if we don't pass by here today?"

Lanzhi lowered her head, "If there is no other way, there is only the simplest one. Most people are afraid of ghosts, so if you deal with the bearded fairy master, it is not difficult for ordinary people to scare them back."

"But that will only make people in the city want to find more monks, priests, or mages to hunt down ghosts."

"I know, but..."

"Actually, I think the most important thing you should do now is to leave here and go to where you should go. There are some things that you don't need to be too persistent. Maybe your father and the others have already been reincarnated, maybe you didn't pass away together."

"No! I heard that my father and elder brother died terribly. They must still be suffering in the underworld. I can feel it."

"Ai──" Si Ren sighed and thought about it carefully, "It's not difficult to stop the people in the city, but do you want to find out why many people are rebellious... I really have a little time..."

"We'll help with this." Long Jiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth.

Si Ren was very surprised, turned to look at him, but found that his face was not very good.

Long Jiu didn't respond to his gaze and continued to say, "Not only will we help you figure out the matter of not returning to the city, the Taoist priest and Qingniu Jing will also help you solve it together."

Everyone here was stunned: Why did the guy who was always indifferent all of a sudden become energetic?

"Long Jiu!" Si Ren called him, meaning not to cause trouble for the upper body.

But Long Jiu ignored him, drank the first glass of wine in his hand, and stood up suddenly, "Is it tonight? I'm going to wait for the Taoist priest and Niu Jing on the only way up the mountain from the city of no return." , I'd like to see if the young bull-beard slave is enough to play with me once. If you don't want to go, Si Bian, you can continue to drink at the bar here. The wine is good, just be careful not to drink too much and delay your journey tomorrow. "

After speaking, Long Jiu lifted his foot and left.

The members of the Mo family looked at each other, and Si Ren hurriedly chased him out.

"Dragon Nine! Dragon Nine! Little Nine..."

Long Jiu flew away.

Si Ren was so angry that he stood on the spot and looked up at Long Jiu who disappeared in an instant and stomped his feet, "You bloody goblin! What's the fuss?!"

The author has something to say: return to the mountain, return to the ghost.Ghosts, come back.

Blue ox beard slave, a combination that was believed to be able to ward off evil spirits and suppress ghosts in ancient times, and there is also a special picture of blue ox beard slave to ward off evil spirits.

Disobedience is the so-called bewitching as the saying goes.
