Folk Tale: Night Tour of Hundred Ghosts

Beijing.

Marquis Mansion.

Wen Yan stood at the gate and said, "This place is very evil."

Daoyuan asked: "Are we here to catch demons this time?"

Wen Yan nodded.

Daoyuan sighed after hearing this: "Finally, I don't need to participate in the affairs of gods."

After hearing this, Wen Yan said, "Don't be too happy, don't think that only gods are in trouble."

Daoyuan didn't reply, but he just thought in his heart: I'm afraid there will be no one in the world who can make troubles more than gods.

The courtyard was located in the east city, not far from the imperial city, and this man was still a brother of the current emperor and could stay in the capital as a marquis, which showed that he was deeply loved by the emperor.Looking at the scale and construction of this courtyard, it can also be seen that it is ordinary.There are two stone lions standing at the door, the door is painted with gold paint, and the door frame is carved with tiger patterns. It looks dignified from the outside.

Seeing this, the little monk ran up to knock on the door, and soon there was a person answering the door, who was the servant of this place.

"What are you doing here? This is Lord Hou's Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to enter." The family member said.

"I see that you have a lot of evil spirits here, so I'm here to help you catch them." Just as the little monk finished speaking, the servant slammed the door shut, and the door was closed heavily, and the little monk's face was reflected on the door .

Seeing this, Wen Yan laughed and walked forward to tease Dao Yuan, saying: "I want to slap the door on your face for what you said, and it looks like a charlatan talking nonsense."

The little monk said wrongly: "But...but you didn't say that...".He spoke intermittently.

"I mean this place is full of monsters, but you want to enter the mansion, how can you talk so nonsense, you really have no experience in the world, look at me." Wen Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was the same boy who opened the door again. He saw that Wen Yanchang looked good, so his attitude was different from before. "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Lord Hou reads the whole book and likes to meet scholars. We came from Jiangnan and wanted Master Hou to accept us as disciples."

"Then come in." The young man said as he opened the door, and saw Wen Yan followed by the incomprehensible little monk just now.

He grabbed Daoyuan strangely, and asked Wen Yan: "Is this person also here with you?"

Wen Yan smiled, pulled him to his side, and said, "He's my bookboy, he's not normal here, he's a little silly." When Wen Yan said this, he pointed his finger at Dao Yuan's head.

The boy nodded as if he had realized something, and brought Dao Yuan and Wen Yan inside.

"The road is far away, remember, just like Hou's family is as deep as the sea, remember to stay away from officials."

When Daoyuan followed Wen Yan into the door, he had completely forgotten what Master Suiyuan had told him when he went down the mountain.He walked into the Hou gate without any thought.

The road was full of pale pink peach blossoms, like stars, and like spring rain. The wind gently brushed her cheeks, and they "swished" down.

The servant took the two of them to the lobby and said to them, "Your Majesty has something to do, please wait here for a while."

The young man withdrew after saying this, and after a while, two maidservants served tea for Wen Yan and Dao Yuan.

After waiting for a long time, Dao Yuan and Wen Yan didn't see anyone coming. Seeing that they were bored, they left the lobby and walked outside.

Daoyuan looked back again and had already separated from Wen Yan, and he didn't know where he had gone.He saw a long-haired man in red silk and satin standing in the peach blossom forest with his back facing him. He only felt that figure from his back was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

The man seemed to have noticed someone behind him, and turned his face slightly. Dao Yuan couldn't help shouting when he saw that face. "Uncle Master...".

The man turned his head, his eyebrows, eyes, and facial features were exactly the same as his uncle's. Dao Yuan was about to run over, but was stopped by someone from behind.When he turned his head, it was Wen Yan who appeared out of nowhere and held him back.

Wen Yan whispered in his ear: "This person is very evil, don't go there."

The man walked slowly from the peach blossom tree, and Dao Yuan realized that although this man's facial features were the same as his uncle's, his temperament was very different. There are peach blossom petals painted in the middle, no doubt this person has an enchanting temperament.

who is he?Why do you look exactly like my uncle?Is he my uncle?If it's my uncle, why doesn't he recognize me?He forgot about me?Why did he suddenly appear in Lord Hou's mansion?

Daoyuan had many questions, but he couldn't ask them one by one.

"Where did you come from? I don't know that this is a backyard where outsiders are not allowed to enter?" He said lazily, with a peach blossom in his hand, he walked slowly towards Daoyuan and Wenyan.

"You are... Lord Hou?" Daoyuan asked tentatively.

The man covered his mouth and smiled, leaning against the peach tree, and asked, "Why do you think I look like Master Hou?"

"Ah Qing, who are you talking to?" Dao Yuan heard the sound and looked, a man in fancy clothes walked towards them.

This person's eyebrows are like stars, eyes like bronze, he speaks forcefully, tall and slender, with a noble air.

Seeing him coming, the alluring man leaned gently on the man's body, patted his chest with one hand, and replied softly: "Master Hou, these two people mistook me for you."

At this moment, Xing Ye looked away from Ah Qing and looked at them.

"Who are you two?" he asked.

"We came from the south of the Yangtze River to join Lord Hou, and hope that Lord Hou will accept us as disciples."

"Oh, so you are the two people Steward Wang mentioned. If that's the case, you should live in the East Wing."

"Thank you Lord Hou for taking me in."

After Wen Yan finished talking with Xing Ye, he left with the little monk.

It's just that the little monk's eyes kept staring at the man beside Lord Hou. The man leaned on Lord Hou's chest all the time, his eyes were so ambiguous that Daoyuan couldn't tell who it was.

The two went to the east wing to clean up the house, Wen Yan made a cup of tea and sat down, Dao Yuan hurriedly circled in front of him.

"Don't walk around, sit down and be quiet for a while." Wen Yan said helplessly.

"That person...".

"What the hell did you see? It's like seeing a ghost." Wen Yan also noticed that something was wrong with Dao Yuan.

"The man leaning on Master Hou looks exactly like my uncle. But...".

"But what?" Wen Yan asked back.

"But at first glance, that person is the face raised by Lord Hou. How could my uncle..." .

"Why, your uncle can't face to face? The world is full of wonders."

"I know, but my uncle, like me, has a bald head." The little monk patted his head with his hands while talking to Wen Yan.

Seeing this, Wen Yan smiled, and said, "I also think he has a very evil aura. If the evildoer changes into the same appearance as your uncle, it will be very easy."

"Then what kind of demon is he?"

"Looking at how seductive he is, he must be a nine-tailed fox."

"If that's the case, what should we do?"

"I see that he has absorbed a lot of yang energy from that man, so it's better to do it as soon as possible."

"But...that fox demon has changed into the same appearance as my uncle, how can Lord Hou believe our words."

"Little monk, have you ever thought about the relationship between Master Hou and your uncle?"

"I……".The little monk didn't know how to answer, and suddenly remembered what Master Suiyuan had said to him before going out.

Dao Yuan's memories before going down the mountain.

【"Uncle Shi said since he was a child that he has a friend who is very good at chess and like Dao Yuan is good at defending and less attacking. I will go down the mountain to help Uncle Shi find out the whereabouts of this person."

"No need." Dao Yuan didn't expect his uncle to refuse straight away.

"Why?"

"The old man is dead, where do you go to find him?" Suiyuan's business trembled slightly, as if about to cry.But soon, he changed his words and said to Daoguang: "But if you go down the mountain and hear that a man named Xing Ye has died, please write back and tell me immediately."

"Why, it doesn't matter if he plays chess, is he a former friend of the uncle?"

"He's dead, I'm going to celebrate with gongs and drums...". 】

Xing Ye, is Lord Hou called Xing Ye?What's the relationship between him and uncle?Why does the uncle hate him so much?

But Master Hou wants to find a man who is like his uncle to be his pillow?Why does the uncle hate him, but he loves the uncle?

The little monk didn't think the same thing at all. At this moment, Wen Yan spoke to explain to him: "You want to know the reason of the matter, why don't you go back and ask your uncle for clarification. I happened to ask him to go down the mountain. If Lord Hou sees him, then Naturally, we don't need to explain, he also knows that the man named Ah Qing has become a fox demon. Otherwise, how could there be two people in the world who are the same."

"If I go back to persuade my uncle, I don't know if he will be willing to go down the mountain with me. He doesn't seem to like Lord Hou very much."

"Since that's the case, then everything depends on his luck. If you don't ask your uncle to go down the mountain, I don't think he can survive this summer."

"You said that fox demon wants to suck up his yang energy?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? Is it possible to feed him well?"

"In this case, let me go back to Yunshan Temple with you. I haven't gone back with you yet."

"There's no need for anyone to stay here? What if the fox demon kills Xing Ye for evil?"

"That's bad luck for him. Let's go to other places to do business."

"How can this be? I think you're still staying here. I went and hurried back."

"You want to go alone?"

"Why not?"

"I'm afraid that you may encounter some ghosts on the way. If you didn't bring your uncle back, you'd have your own life on the way."

Daoyuan heard Wen Yan's words, thought for a while, and said, "Then you should go with me."

After hearing this, Wen Yan smiled and said this time: "Is that right?"

After saying that, the two packed up and prepared to leave together and go back to Yunshan Temple.
