Xianjun has a disaster

The old beggar was scared out of his wits, and almost ended his life early and re-entered reincarnation.

Fortunately, Ji Xueting was already used to this posture when he killed demons in the world to exchange money, and before the old beggar screamed, he had already slapped all kinds of charms on the old beggar to calm his mind and soothe his emotions. And now that he is an inspector of the four directions, his identity is even more different than usual. Although he is just a superficial inspector, it is enough to fool mortals who don't understand anything.

After a while like this, the old beggar, whose face was pale with fright, had already prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed to Ji Xueting.

And when Ji Xueting asked about the wasteland, the old beggar was able to tell everything and talk endlessly.

"My lord, you are right to ask me about the matter of this land. The old man is from Lianyang for eight generations. The news of this place has been rumored outside. You can talk about it, but it is really possible. It’s rare for people to tell the truth. That is to say, my grandfather lived in this land back then, and he saw the baby ghosts here with his own eyes, so we younger generations can tell you clearly, Mr. Xianjun.”

"Haunted baby ghost?" Hearing the word "baby ghost", Ji Xueting immediately remembered what happened in the empress temple, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows to ask.When he was speaking, he caught a glimpse of Lu Ren and Tianqu beside him from the corner of his eye, and saw that both of them involuntarily raised their hands and pressed their stomachs.

The difference is probably that Lu Ren's face turned blue, and he wanted to get rid of the stuff in his stomach as soon as possible, but Tianqu had warm brows and eyes full of concern.

Aware that Ji Xueting was looking at him, Tianqu suddenly raised his head and smiled at him.

Ji Xueting blinked, pretending not to care, and quickly avoided that loving smile.

The old beggar in front of him didn't notice Ji Xueting's small movements. The hunchbacked old man wiped his face and talked about those eerie and legendary things in the past. A little more spirit.

"Isn't it just a haunted baby ghost? My lord, if we want to talk about this, I have to mention to you who lived in this place before..."

A hundred years ago, the spooky and desolate place where Ji Xueting and his party lived was still the most noble area in Lianyang City.

The terrain here is high, close to the city lord's mansion, and located in the center of the city, so many dignitaries want to buy a small house here.However, the family occupying such a good position at that time was not an ordinary family, but the Yongzhou Mu family from the capital.

This family is related to many dignitaries in the capital.Zhou Mu himself is from a noble family, and the wife of the main house is even more beautiful, and she is said to be the youngest daughter of a county king.It is said that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake, but if that "dragon" is big enough and has enough cronies and friends behind it, these snakes and grandchildren in the local area can only greet each other with a smile on their faces, coaxing the state in different ways. Lord Shepherd.

It has to be said that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, with a lot of money and power, and the state herdsmen live in Yongzhou, and they live happily and extremely comfortably.However, in one's life, it is always difficult to be perfect.This is something that even the state shepherd, who enjoys a high position and enjoys a peaceful life, cannot escape.

And this rare imperfection in Zhou Mu's life is related to his descendants.

Yes, the state shepherd has no children.

He had married countless wives, but no matter how hard he tried, there was never a cry of a baby in Master Zhou's luxurious backyard full of flowers and flowers.

In the end, the old man saw that he might have no heirs, and he was anxious and fearful every day. Finally, after much deliberation, he made up his mind to go to the Niangniang Temple.

"Master Xianjun, this Niangniang Temple was not ordinary in Yongzhou at that time. We have many mountains, and everyone relies on the mountains to eat, but the mountain god is not easy to get along with. If one is unhappy, he will leave him in the mountain. We In Yongzhou, who doesn’t have a baby or two who died in the mountains? That’s why people here have to worship that kind of empress every day..."

When the old beggar got excited, he couldn't help talking nonsense.

Ji Xueting's expression was gentle, and he responded unhurriedly: "Mistress Luyun."

The old beggar slapped his thigh and raised his voice: "Yes, it's Empress Luyun! Then the official ran to the Empress Temple and held a 49-day puja. That scene... tsk tsk..."

"What happened next?" Ji Xueting asked.

"Later it was said that the high official made a wish, saying that if he had a son, he would replace the entire Yongzhou Niangniang Temple with Liudan white sandalwood beams, and then burn agarwood incense for ten years in the temple."

Hearing this, Ji Xueting raised his eyebrows slightly.

Liudan white sandalwood, Shenshuixiang.

Being able to hear these two words from an old beggar, the words in his mouth sounded a little more believable.After all, whether it is Liudan White Sandalwood or Shenshuixiang, they are rare things that only the rich and noble people know.As for the state shepherd a hundred years ago, I don't know whether he was too stupid or too arrogant to make such a prayer with such brazenness.You must know that even the Xuan Dynasty of Liguo, which was known as the lineage of the emperor of heaven, earth and man, could only use high-quality Danbai sandalwood in the Golden Luan Hall and the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.And on this point, when the country was broken, it became one of the evidences of the extravagant Xuan Dynasty royal family that the rebels said.

It is said that when Prince Li was hacked into pieces, the wood burning under the altar was the Liudan white sandalwood that the new emperor removed from the East Palace.The fragrance is so strong that when you visit Ji Xueting's hometown hundreds of years later, you can still smell the bitter and distant incense of burning sandalwood beside the altar.

Since then, there are very few white sandalwoods left in the world.

And what the old beggar said later was just as Ji Xueting had guessed.

"...Who would have thought that there would actually be a lively boy with a handle in the senior official's family after that. It was this senior official who had a precious son, so he completely forgot his wish and didn't bother to fulfill his wish at all, saying that he It was just drunk and talking nonsense, and he just passed his previous promises as a fart. But who can escape the retribution of not revering the gods? Later, the Empress Temple suddenly started to make strange things. This high official, regardless of his disregard, even listened to the nonsense of wandering Taoist priests, and let the common people burn down the temple of the empress in a daze. As a result, this high official got a son, and his good life has not passed for a few days. On the day when the chubby son was full moon, the high official went mad and smashed his son to death in front of the guests! Sigh, that was the son he begged for. Everyone was terrified at that time. It is said that many people vomited on the spot. However, the senior official is a senior official, and no one dared to take care of it. As a result, guess what, the next day, the baby crying suddenly came from the senior official's house." The old beggar Having said this, he suddenly lowered his voice, "The baby who was crushed to death has returned home!"

What happened after that was like so many boring ghost stories.

A high-ranking state pastor smashed his child to death at home day after day, but the child came back again day after day. No matter where he hid, the child would break through the The female relative's stomach crawled out bloody and wet.

When the female relatives were all dead, the belly of those men also swelled one by one.

The baby's high-pitched cries did not stop for a day.

Zhou Mu, who was so frightened that he had a nervous breakdown, could only kill the people around him one by one.

In the end, he was left alone.

Then one day, he found that his stomach was also bulging.

Zhou Mu died just like that.

All the powerful and prominent families withered within a month.

No one dared to set foot in that mansion with carved beams and painted pillars.

But even so, in the completely deserted deep house compound, there are still white baby ghosts as thin as cats, lingering and crying endlessly.

It has been a hundred years, and the crying and ghosting have not shown any signs of subsiding.

"Everyone says that this place is full of resentment, not to mention ordinary people with little wealth, even us poor people who have nothing, don't like to stay here at night. It's too gloomy, and the baby ghost cried terribly. And that little thing is very fierce. People from Liuyun Xianjia and Qingyao Family have come to see it before. As a result, people sent in batches and died in batches. Afterwards, everyone consciously avoided this place It's..."

Having said that, the old beggar looked up at Ji Xueting and his party with a little timidity.

"I don't know that the immortal is descending to the earth now, but to completely suppress the evil spirits here?"

Ji Xueting was thoughtful when he heard that the baby ghost would crawl out of the womb of the state shepherd's female family member every day, but now he heard this mortal's question, smiled and nodded.

"That's natural."

At this time, the sun is getting lower and lower, and the red clouds in the sky will recede.The old beggar didn't dare to walk around because Ji Xueting was here, but his eyes kept rolling. Obviously, even if a fairy spoke, he would still be terrified.

"Thank you, old man, it's getting late, it's better to go back earlier."

After finishing speaking, Ji Xueting waved his sleeves, and the old beggar's figure instantly disappeared into a white light.When he wakes up again, he will find that he has already returned to a distant residence, and he has ten inexhaustible green scorpions in his sleeve, just enough for his daily food and drink needs.

……

After a while, Ji Xueting, Tianqu, and Lu Ren stood in the haunted place that the old beggar said.

It was very quiet.

There were no insects, crows, or even the rubbing sound of grass blades when they walked, but it was fleeting.

Even in the secluded mountains back then, there was still the sound of the tree demon rustling in the dark, but there was no sound at all here, it was strangely quiet.But no matter how they probed, there was no trace of evil in this place that shouldn't be there.

Ji Xueting turned his head and looked at Tianqu.

"It's just like the Niangniang Temple in the secluded ridge, and the detection spell doesn't work here."

Tianqu said calmly.

Numerous snakes crawled out slowly, and slowly crawled towards the surroundings centered on the three of them.

Ji Xueting took out the soul bottle from his bosom, and tapped it lightly with his fingertips.

After a puff of smoke, Wu Qing's shadow appeared in front of them.

"Young Master Xiaoqing, is this the place you mentioned?"

Ji Xueting stared into the boy's eyes and asked calmly.

Wu Qing frowned, looked at the ruins around her, and sighed.

"Didn't you say that my name is Jun Daoyi before? Why do you still call me that?" Before Ji Xueting could answer, he said to himself again, "I guess you are still suspecting that I am lying to you."

Ji Xueting raised his hand, motioning him to look around.

"Where is the wood core?"

Ji Xueting asked with a smile.

But he did not deny the doubt.

Wu Qing pinched his fingers and counted for a moment, then said sullenly: "The location I calculated is correct, it is here, but not here at this time. When the time comes, the second soul wedge will naturally appear. But..."

"But what?"

Hearing the lingering sound at the end of Wu Qing's words, the Ling Cang sword on Ji Xueting's waist shook slightly.

Wu Qing stood there blankly, his eyes seemed a little confused.

After a while, he patted the back of his head in distress, looked at Ji Xueting and said, "I always feel like I've forgotten something. But, I can't remember."

"Then you'd better think about it quickly."

Ji Xueting said coldly.

But at this moment, he no longer looked at Wu Qing, but looked at his surroundings—accompanied by his words, the desolate scenery around him gradually changed.

The broken bricks that had been scattered all over the ground seemed to be picked up and stacked one after another by invisible hands, and then they suddenly changed back to their original appearance in a stream of light.

The weeds fell down, turned into green seedlings, and then turned into tiny grass sprouts, which quickly sank into the ground.

The wet black and red silt leaked down, revealing the shiny terrazzo slabs.

The well-manicured flowers and trees swayed in the shadows, like a nightmare suddenly awakened. At first, there were only a few silhouettes on the edges, and then gradually emerged dark green leaves and bright red flower buds.

Phantoms overlap, turning virtual into reality.

In the blink of an eye, the previously silent and desolate ruins had turned back into the exquisite mansion a hundred years ago.

However, the surrounding area was still extremely quiet.

That uncomfortable dead silence.

The blue bricks and black tiles commonly used in Yongzhou mansions, together with the blackened green bushes and blood-red flowers, make this place look extremely gloomy and gloomy.

Tianqu took a step forward, and naturally protected Ji Xueting.

"The Nian Snake I released before is gone."

He said it calmly, as if it really wasn't such a big deal.

"It should be because the place we are at at this moment is no longer in the same place as the wasteland before." Ji Xueting said, looking very indifferent, then he glanced at Wu Qing's ghost beside him, "I think this is why Mr. Xiaoqing said, as long as the time is up, it will be fine."

Wu Qing smiled at him, but didn't say anything.

In contrast, Lu Ren was the most afraid of the four.

The heavenly court clerk has been very afraid of this kind of evil place related to childbirth since he experienced the pregnancy bug in the empress temple.

Lu Ren's face turned pale, Ji Xueting heard him swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his voice trembled: "Ji Xianjun, what's going on?"

Ji Xueting blinked at him: "Of course it's haunted."

Before his last words were pronounced, the Ling Cang Sword had been drawn out of its sheath suddenly, and it stabbed behind him, just in time to meet a blood-red monster the size of a cat.

The monster was immediately cut into two neat halves by Ling Cang's sword, but at this moment, Ji Xueting caught a glimpse of a red shadow passing behind Lu Ren from the corner of his eyes. It turned out to be another monster hiding behind it, attacking everywhere Xiang Luren.

But at this time Tianqu was dealing with several other monsters, but Lu Ren just stood there stupidly, completely unaware of the danger.

"Be careful--"

Before he had time to think, Ji Xueting grabbed Lu Ren and threw him aside.

It was too late and then too fast, Lu Ren flashed, and Ji Xueting faced the skinny monster. He could even see the monster's black pupils that almost occupied half of its face and the big mouth that stretched down to the ears. , the teeth in the mouth were densely packed, covered with minced meat and blood, and they were greedily gnawing towards him.

Before Ling Cangjian turned back, Ji Xueting had no expression on his face, poured all his spiritual power into his sleeves, and swiped towards the monster.

Ji Xueting only thought about avoiding the monster's sharp claws for a while, but he didn't expect that a burst of black light would burst out under his robe at random, and after a very short moment, a phantom of a black snake flashed in the air.

The little monster didn't even make a sound, it instantly turned into a blood mist and scattered in the air.

"This, this is... Wujin Yuyi?"

Lu Ren, who had escaped from death, stared at Ji Xueting's sleeve, and immediately exclaimed.

"Where did you get such a fetish—"

He only spoke halfway, and then got stuck in an instant.

"Some things happened before, Tianqu Shangxian gave me a robe, what's wrong?"

At this time, Ji Xueting had finished taking care of several monsters around him. Hearing Lu Ren's exclamation, he couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, nothing. If Tianqu Shangxian, this Wujin Yuyi can naturally be given as much as he wants."

Lu Ren muttered vaguely.

At this time, countless thin, small but quick-moving monsters gathered in the haunted house, and Ji Xueting had no time to think about it.

He saw that Tianqu was able to deal with it with ease, and he also had the Lingcang sword in his hand, so he could deal with these ghosts calmly. As for Wu Qing, who had already been put into the soul bottle by Ji Xueting, there was no need to worry. Among the group, only Lu Ren was miserable, and Seeing him staring intently at his robe, he didn't think much about taking off his robe and handing it to Lu Ren for self-defense.

"No, no, no—"

As a result, as soon as he unbuttoned one of his clothes, Lu Ren screamed even more miserable than when he encountered the monster before.

"Friend Lu Xian?"

Ji Xueting was stunned.

Lu Ren was sweating like rain, hating himself for being frightened out of his wits just now, so that he was half a beat too late to realize that the so-called Wujin Yuyi was actually made of a snake slough that was shed by a certain immortal with strange blood.

As for who this Shangxian is...

Daoist Taiyi, who made the black gold feather coat at that time, never said it clearly, but everyone in the Tongming Palace was well informed, and everyone knew it well.

Only a certain crazy white-haired fairy would have such a fetish.

However, it is precisely because the fairy snake slough is a very private thing. Although it has been separated from the main body, it is also closely related to itself, just like another skin, with some perception and spiritual thoughts still remaining.Therefore, although this Wujin Yuyi is a top-grade body-protecting magic weapon, no immortal has ever dared to ask for it.

The author has something to say: Tianqu: When I gave the snake slough to Ashe, I just wanted to protect him better, and there was really no other meaning.
