Some people say that if you want to cross Montenegro, you must be at the foot of Montenegro before the rooster crows, and enter the mountain when the rooster crows for the first time just after the sun rises.Crossing the mountain is better than carrying a sharp weapon. After entering the mountain, you must not linger on the beautiful scenery, and you must not look for a quiet path.If you spend the night in the mountains, you can't find other places to stay except the hunter's house.

This kind of rule has been gradually broken now. Most of the people in Heishan Town make a living by logging in Heishan, and gradually no one abides by this kind of rule.However, in recent years, there have been such rules again, but unfortunately most people will not follow them.

"Several people died this year, and they didn't listen to the old man's words." Many idlers gathered in the restaurant in Heishan Town, drinking wine, chatting about rumors and women: "I told you to follow the rules." , all of them are stupid."

"Brother, I heard that there are ghosts in Montenegro, but is it true?"

"Hey, you dare to go to Montenegro as a scholar? If you die early, this town will thank your family for daring to go."

Hearing the idle man's ridicule, the scholar was not angry, but thought for a while before realizing: "The Xie family... Could it be Mr. Xie Shan, Mr. Xie Youshi, the former academician of the court?"

"No, Xie's family is there, but the bachelor doesn't go out all year round, and I only saw his little grandson being carried out by his mother-in-law once." The idle man grinned and pointed in the direction of Xie's house. , There was a little pride in the eyebrows: "I don't say anything else, Mr. Xie is an official, if you can be accepted by Mr. Xie, you don't have to worry about the imperial examination."

"It's a pity, Mr. Xie won't open the door now."

Another idle man said something strangely, and then laughed with the people in the restaurant.The scholar ignored this kind of ridicule, but smiled lightly, and raised his glass to the idlers: "Tomorrow I will go to Montenegro, thank you for your guidance. In Xianing Caichen, there will be a meeting later!"

"There will be a time later." An idle man smiled and clinked glasses with Ning Caichen, and after drinking it in one gulp, he didn't speak, but his expression seemed to say, "Look, another idiot."

At dawn, the rooster crows.Ning Caichen went into Montenegro with a burden on his back, and he didn't miss the beautiful scenery or eat the fruits along the way.Although I saw one or two woodcutters, they didn't talk much.

Seeing that the sun had set and hadn't walked out of Montenegro, Ning Caichen was a little anxious.He was originally a scholar, so his footsteps were naturally not as fast as those woodcutters or old farmers.To spend the night in the Black Mountains without a hunter's house.Ning Caichen tried his best to walk another distance, but saw a temple in the mountain.

Although the Buddha statues in the temple are solemn, the monks' houses have already fallen a lot of dust.Ning Caichen hesitated for a moment, since it is a temple, it is safe to have a Buddha statue to bless it.While hesitating, Ning Caichen saw a scholar who was also carrying a rucksack and had a sword pinned to his waist.

The scholar also seemed to be taken aback when he saw Ning Caichen. The two looked at each other for a while, and Ning Caichen hurriedly saluted first: "It's getting late in Ning Caichen, I don't know if you can spend the night in this temple together. one night?"

The scholar frowned, nodded hesitantly before giving his name: "My surname is Yan, and my name is Yan Chixia."

Ning Caichen wanted to talk to the other party but couldn't find a common language, so he had to live alone in a monk's house.After nightfall, Montenegro seemed to come alive, with the chirping of insects and the howling of wolves.Ning Caichen couldn't sleep, watching the moonlight shining down like water outside the window, he couldn't help thinking of that very famous article by his predecessors.Feeling itchy for a moment, I thought about nostalgia.

"The courtyard is like stagnant water and the sky is clear. The water is full of algae and cypresses, covered with shadows of bamboo and cypress. I can see you today, and the ancients sincerely did not deceive me." Ning Caichen praised him. At first he was a little embarrassed, but now the moonlight is so beautiful , I can't sleep anymore.Just as he was about to get out of bed after putting on his clothes, Ning Caichen heard a light knock on the door.

"Come in."

Originally thought that the scholar who lived with him was of the same way, and he himself became Zhang Huaimin once, but in the end he became King Xiang of Chu?Ning Caichen himself thought it was a little funny, but he also became vigilant in his heart.This is a temple, how can there be women?

Nie Xiaoqian flinched, she didn't want to come at first, but because she went to see the empress at the beginning, she was accidentally caught in the wrong place by the female ghost next to her, so she had to come this time.It's okay to know this scholar, the scholar next to him is not a scholar, he has a faint taste of Taoism, and he is probably a Taoist priest.

Thinking of this, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly became a little bold. If she wanted to leave, she would have ghosts besides Ayou who wanted to take her away.She didn't dare to touch the other female ghosts who thought they were "cultivating". Now this scholar has clear eyes and should be able to win them over.And letting the scholar tell the scholar, the effect will definitely be several times better than showing up by himself, so that empress should be able to plan something.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Nie Xiaoqingli's face. After some movements with her hands, she condensed a word in the air with dust and waved it away.Seeing the change in the scholar's eyes, Nie Xiaoqian took a deep breath, made her voice into a delicate voice, but her expression was solemn with a trace of disgust.

If it wasn't for the righteousness of a scholar in this scholar, she wouldn't want to just ask him to leave.

When Ning Caichen saw the word "pretend", he took a deep breath and was also a little puzzled.The girl in front of her has been hiding in the dark. Although she can see her beautiful face, the word "pretending"...what does it mean?

Hearing the other party "the moonlight is too good to sleep", and seeing her look of disgust, Ning Caichen almost burst out laughing.Although he still couldn't guess what the other party meant, Ning Caichen still reprimanded the other party based on his own will.Nie Xiaoqian showed a satisfied expression on her face, and then gave Ning Caichen a word of "stay" and a word of "injustice", and stretched out her hands to rub her face, before she backed out with a scared and ashamed expression.

This is too weird, Ning Caichen thought about those few words, he didn't think the other party was doing it to make him avenge her, more likely it was for other reasons.Looking at Nie Xiaoqian's leaving back, Ning Caichen could see it clearly under the bright moonlight. He couldn't help leaning back and his pupils narrowed, and suddenly he understood the reason.

This woman has no shadow, she is a ghost.

Ning Caichen woke up the next day when the cock was crowing.Although he doubted the grievance of a female ghost, he found it interesting.He is not a pedantic person in the first place, and he doesn't believe what ghosts and gods say, but he believes in his own eyes more.Even though he wanted to go home, he wouldn't see the grievance and die... No, the female ghost is already dead.

When I was thinking, I saw that the door next to me was also opened.The scholar named Yan Chixia seemed surprised when he saw him. Ning Caichen didn't understand why he was surprised, but he greeted him calmly.

"It seems that you are not an ordinary person." Yan Chixia nodded, and after a salute, she handed out some dry food for herself: "Is it you who can bear it?"

"Why can't you bear it?" Ning Caichen already had some doubts in his heart, and he could only pretend to be stupid when facing people he met once.Yan Chixia seemed to be smiling mockingly, but she didn't pay attention to him, but looked at the door instead: "If you want to, why don't you meet?"

"I'm afraid you will be surprised."

Ning Caichen stood up in surprise. It wasn't that he had any opinion on women, but that there was a woman walking alone in the deep mountains. If it wasn't a ghost like the woman last night, could it be a demon?

Pipa pushed open the temple gate with her arms in her arms, and smiled after seeing a scholar in the yard and a Taoist priest pretending to be a scholar: "Who am I, it turns out to be... ah."

"Hmph, you old monster, how dare you come here alone?"

"You're killing me, Erlang will call you brother and brother." Pipa snorted, took Lv Shui back and flicked his fingers, sat down on the floor and looked at Ning Caichen carefully, with a little smile on his face: "You scholar, you are also a fun one."

"Don't tease others." Yan Chixia frowned, the sword in his box was trembling, and this trembling was more like a kind of fear.Pipa glanced lightly at the box, and the sword immediately stopped shaking, which made Yan Chixia even more sullen.

"I'm a monster, and it was a female ghost who was looking for you yesterday." Pipa said casually, and frowned as she looked at the dry food of the two people: "I've already set up a barrier here, and I'm going to get rid of the demon tonight."

"Are you a demon or a demon? Cannibalism?"

"A Taoist priest, are you annoying? Do you know who I am!" Pipa snorted, "Monsters also have their own methods of cultivation, and the tree spirit's way of doing things will be struck by lightning. But she uses a group of little souls to forcibly Shengsheng transferred the grievances that should be attributed to her to the little soul, Yaoke is also famous, so naturally he has to clean up the family."

Ning Caichen glanced at Yan Chixia, then at Pipa.He saw a ghost for the first time yesterday, and today he actually saw a demon. His life for the past 20 years has been completely shattered, and now he doesn't know if it is in a dream.But Ning Caichen was also a little scared, but those fears couldn't suppress his curiosity about the prototype of the beautiful girl in front of him.

"Then what are you going to do?" Yan Chixia was a little aggrieved, he couldn't beat the opponent and had to fight, but she still couldn't get angry, and her tone couldn't help being a little offended.Pipa doesn't care about this child's tone of refusal to admit defeat. When he speaks, he can't help but bring a little inexplicable kindness: "You will know at night. Now you need to sleep, otherwise you won't be able to see at night."

After taking care of her, Pipa stood up in satisfaction, and was stopped by Ning Caichen when she was about to go out: "This... girl, do you know that female ghost named Xiaoqian?"

"Hey, have you taken a fancy to her?"

"No." Ning Caichen couldn't help being a little embarrassed. He just subconsciously cared about this lovely female ghost. How much older is the ghost than himself?Pipa looked at him carefully, and then explained: "Heishan has been an official for the past two years. He is young and does not know the harm of being too far away from his body. Recently, he came back to take a look when his foundation was unstable, and he also cultivated for a while. Time. That tree spirit has harmed many people, but Xiaoqian came to me first to hope to get out of the sea of ​​suffering. If you ask her age, I don't know, but she should be around a hundred years old."

"The black mountain old demon is an official?" Yan Chixia looked at Pipa in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe it at all: "He, what kind of official is he?"

"What official?" Pipa touched his chin with a half-smile, and there was a mischievous expression in his eyes, which made Ning Caichen feel a little bad.Seeing the uncertain expressions of the two, Pipa smiled and said it.

"It's what you just heard, a certain senior scholar, thank you Shan Xie Youshi."
