six thousand

Tu'er and I looked at each other, then asked in a gentle voice: "Then how do these two tall people look in clothes? Please be more careful."

The shop assistant crossed his legs and thought for a while, most likely recalling, with far-reaching eyes: "The older one, Yuemo, is of a normal age, dressed in ordinary clothes, but tall and big, with eyes that always stare, arrogant He was so arrogant, staring so uncomfortable that he wanted to go up and slap his ears. Last time he slapped me on the table, that posture... how should I put it, it seemed like he was the king of heaven... "

I:"……"

"This other one." He rubbed his chin and said, "He doesn't have any temper. He is a young man with a weak crown. He looks more decent, he is gentle, and he speaks and behaves well. He calls that old guy Father. ..."

Speaking of which, the three of us already know that the two people who came here six days ago must be Qian Luan and Sang Chen we were looking for on this trip.

So here comes the question, since the two of them came here for a visit, why did they disappear?

Ordinary people can't answer this question, so let's put it aside and ask other valuable questions that can be asked.So I said, "Then what's wrong with your village?"

This kind of thing is actually more convenient to check on Jiuchongtian, but firstly, we didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and secondly, we left in a hurry, so we missed it.

"We don't have any in our village. Please bless the priest. Our village is safe and sound all year round." The shop assistant scratched his head without blushing.

"No?" That was out of the ordinary.If there really isn't one, why bother Qianluan and his son rushing over to subdue demons.Could it be that the two of them overheard some rumors that they had returned to heaven after defeating demons and eliminating demons except for loneliness?

After thinking about it for a while, I still feel that it is necessary to ask more carefully: "Is it true that no one has ever died or suffered from any strange disease or accident for no reason?"

The shop assistant suddenly showed hostility and spit wildly: "Don't tell me there is, it's my unlucky cousin. Last year he saved enough savings to go home and marry a wife, and he was going to worship that day. Who knows which damned guy threw a piece of melon rind at the door of his room, stepped on it, and naturally slipped and fell. Then he repented of the marriage and left. This is good, the daughter-in-law didn’t get it, and she became a lame, after that, no girl would like it again, do you think it’s a disaster for no reason?”

I:"……"

The store partner continued endlessly: "There is also the second child from the fat aunt's house next door, who was mischievous and was bitten by a dog. He was fine at the time, but after a few days, he suddenly went crazy. The dog barked, and died soon after. The doctor said it was caused by evil spirits, tell me about it..."

"Okay, okay." I felt that it would be a bit bad for him to continue talking, so I hurriedly interrupted: "Let's not talk about your village first, has there been any evil or very weird and unusual things in the next village or nearby?" thing"

"There are." The shop assistant really knew everything, "There are always strange things happening in Fenglai Mountain next door."

Beidou wondered: "Isn't this the Fenglai Mountain? Why is it next door?"

The shop assistant rolled his eyes: "This place is called Laifeng Mountain, but it is closer to Fenglai Mountain, and the name of the mountain is more similar. In fact, Laifeng is Laifeng, Fenglai is Fenglai, and there is a boundary. The Fenglai Mountain you mentioned is in that direction." He pointed to the east sky filled with dark clouds outside the window.

I glanced over there with my finger, and I saw a section of the mountain looming in the haze. It seemed that this trip was wrong.

Although it is a mistake to lead the way, it is human nature and there is no need to take it for granted.After reading it, he retracted his gaze, picked up the teacup and took a sip without moving.But I felt two fiery gazes from the side sweeping over me, I just drank my tea and ignored it with my head held high, my fellow shopmate said: "Oh, then let me tell you how the strange thing about Fenglai Mountain is. .”

The shop assistant didn't feel that the atmosphere was quite subtle at all, so he said something: "It's so weird, it's even weirder than a dead person. There is a small town at the foot of Fenglai Mountain, and there is a girl in the town called Axiu, who was born like that." She is called ugly. Although she is ugly, she has a very good heart. She respects the old and the virtuous, and her filial piety touches the heavens. After seeing it, her heart turned bad, she seduced men everywhere, and ignored her disabled and elderly parents, and as a result, her mother starved to death!" He said with a terrifying description.

This matter is indeed very strange, but there are many reasons for a person's sudden change in temperament, maybe it is evil spirit possession, maybe it is stimulated by something, and it is impossible to jump to a conclusion for a while.I leisurely sipped my tea and continued to ask: "It's just this one."

The shop assistant said: "Well, there is also a young man named Chen Yun in the town. He is very energetic. Although he is thin, he has great strength. He was a strong man. For some reason, he suddenly became seriously ill and was bedridden. His parents invited countless doctors to treat him, but all the doctors said in unison that Chen Yun was in good health and had no illness at all. You say this doctor It’s okay to say so, maybe it’s because of poor medical skills, but all the doctors say that, it’s unbelievable. It’s really strange why you can’t get out of bed when you’re not sick.” Then he shook his head, as if very regretful: “ In the past few years, there are almost dozens of strange things like this, and they can't be finished in a moment, and the little knowledge is very limited. If adults are really interested, you might as well go to Fenglai Mountain to find out."

Fenglai Mountain must be visited, and the truth must be explored to the end.We can also see that the store partner is about to run out of saliva after talking endlessly for a long time. The most important thing is that a new guest officer has come to the road in the distance. The shopkeeper must have seen him slack and lazy, so he had to rush over Serving, and fearing that Peter would offend our three distinguished guests, he had no choice but to push us away.I saw through his intentions and sympathized with the conscientious and tired heart of a shop assistant in him, so I got up and left.

The shop assistant sent me to the stairs, seeing that we seemed to be about to go downstairs, he suddenly grabbed my sleeve and said with a smile: "My lord, that, didn't you just say that young people only need to answer every question, and then...hehehe ..." He stretched out his hands and cupped them in front of his face, like a beggar.

I recalled it for a while, and finally remembered that he was begging for a reward, so I yelled: "Thank you for reminding me, my lord always keeps his word, and you will definitely reward him if he says he wants to." Pulling out, pulling out, just about to take out a gold ingot to reward him.Halfway through the digging, I suddenly remembered something, stopped digging, and said to him earnestly: "Little Er, you said that life is more important than money?"

His face turned pale, as if he was frightened, he didn't dare to hold his hands anymore, and his voice trembled: "Big, big... big..."

I didn't have a big reason, and I patted his head kindly: "Actually, there is no need to ask too much, of course, life is more important. Otherwise, even if you have ten thousand taels of gold, if your life is gone, you will not be blessed, right? You also know that there are frequent strange things happening in Fenglai Mountain next door, there are obviously evil spirits at work, and they may come to your house one day. How can you ordinary people resist this evil spirit when it harms people?"

Seeing me, the shop assistant was very kind, his voice stopped shaking, and he looked blank: "So..."

"So." I answered him honestly: "Well, didn't my lord say that there are many rewards, and I set off immediately to collect that monster for you, which is equivalent to saving your life." I patted his chest with my fan : "Look, my lord has treated you so kindly, aren't you very moved, so I went here, no need to thank you." After saying that, he turned around and left, and the shop assistant stayed there blankly, with a look of incomprehension.

After leaving the inn, Beidou was puzzled: "My lord, according to what you can see, there are really demons haunting Fenglai Mountain."

Before my side could answer, Tu'er had already expressed his opinion: "Aren't you asking this question knowingly? Isn't it obvious? If it wasn't for the evil spirits, what did Qianluan and his son come here for? Just what Xiaoer said, Axiu and Chen Yun The situation is obviously abnormal, it must be caused by evil things."

I said: "Right now everything is just hearsay, I haven't seen anything, so it's hard to guess. But one thing can be concluded, this place is full of hostility, there must be evil spirits lurking, I'd better go and see first."

Because of the need to survey the environment, everyone decided to walk.But after traveling for more than two or three miles, the road became strange.

The strange thing is that before entering the inn, although there were mountains and mountains nearby, it was still green, with many weeds and wild flowers, and it was full of vitality.Now, after turning around a few valleys, the surrounding conditions are completely different, it is desolate, and the plants are all black and swarthy, withered as a whole, and the cold wind irrigates it.There was no color in the sky anymore, it was gloomy and dark, and the evil spirit was wanton, confirming the previous speculation.

A gust of evil wind hit, the rabbit rolled up his sleeves, seemed to shiver, and said: "This wind is chilly, very evil."

Beidou took the opportunity to yell at him: "Usually I told you to practice more diligently, but you just refused to listen, and now you deserve to be deflated. You said that you are a priest anyway, and you can't stand the wind when it blows. In the future, when you deal with people, don't say it's me Jiuzhong!" It came out of the sky, so as not to embarrass people."

The rabbit's face was embarrassed, and he flew up with a kick: "If you don't talk sarcastic for a day, you will lose arms and legs, right?"

He has good skills, this kick is very good, but Beidou's skills are even better, he leaned to one side and dodged it lightly and deftly, and in his busy schedule he did not forget to tease him: "I was thinking, you are so flamboyant. , if you are the only one here this time, don’t talk about subjugating monsters, it’s considered capable if you don’t subdue monsters.”

The two of them just keep coming and going in the back, and I just walk around in front of me like a stream of kindness. Suddenly seeing something strange in front of me, I can't help wondering: "Huh? Where's the way?"

My question was very strange, the two behind immediately stopped and rushed forward: "What?" When they saw the scene in front of them, they were all dumbfounded.

Only more than ten feet away, a towering cliff wall lay on the Sunshine Avenue, blocking the road ahead.It seems that this place was originally a high mountain, and half of it was chopped off with an axe. The scenery is very spectacular.

I pointed over there, and analyzed in a logical manner: "There is no other way around here. If you want to walk to Fenglai Mountain, this is the only way you must pass. Now it looks like this, it seems that someone deliberately For that."

The rabbit went on to say: "The purpose is naturally to prevent people from entering the mountain, but it's only to prevent people, and it's almost meaningless to prevent gods." As he said, he jumped up into the clouds, grabbing the gray clouds and intending to cross the mountain , unexpectedly fell down suddenly.Because of the top-heavy weight, he fell head-down and feet up. The weight of his body was out of balance in mid-air and it was difficult to control. Seeing that he couldn't turn over with his own strength, he could only scream.

The body of the priest is an immortal body that has been tempered by the heavenly tribulation, and it will not be broken if it is dropped, but if the head and feet fall to the ground, it will definitely hurt the muscles and bones, and it will be very painful.My heart was full of compassion, and I decided to take him next, but I saw that the purple clothes beside me shook, and Beidou had rushed forward, with his hands spread out, and the rabbit ran into his arms impartially.

The scene that followed was rather charming. The two of them were flirting with shame and shame, and I was here to observe the right time and place.

Looking up at the sky, there is a faint layer of golden light covering the top of the mountain, which is clearly a fairy barrier like a copper wall and iron wall.Since it is a fairy barrier, it is naturally made by a fairy, it is not an evil thing, and it is harmless to people. The fairy just set it up to prevent outsiders from entering.

Being able to stop a priest, it seems that the fairy barrier is quite thick, and if it is not for the master whose cultivation base is stronger than it, it will probably be impossible to break through.I thought to myself that although it is firm and solid, it is not enough to stop me. It seems that the cultivation of its master has not reached the unfathomable level.It's either Qianluan or Sang Chen, but it can only be one of them, and definitely not the joint arrangement of the two, otherwise the combination of his two cultivation bases will be far better than mine no matter what.

The two over there finally had enough of being charming, and walked over side by side.Beidou seemed very dissatisfied with the fairy barrier, and said with a frown, "Do you think the person who set up the trap is doing too much? This mountain wall is enough to stop people. Can stop the immortals of the Nine Heavens"

I said: "According to my personal guess, that person should also have good intentions. Most likely, they felt that the evil spirits in the mountain were difficult to deal with, so they specially set up this fairy barrier so that no one would die in vain. Think about it, even if they themselves can't deal with it, What's more, people with a lower level of cultivation than them have this fairy barrier here, which is more than enough to hinder ordinary priests. If someone is capable of breaking the barrier, his cultivation level must surpass them. So it is still necessary to build this layer of fairy barrier here."

Although it is not difficult to break this layer of enchantment with bare hands, but I feel that there is no harm to this layer of fairy barrier here, it is a pity to destroy it once, it is better not to break it.But if you want to enter the mountain without breaking the barrier, I still can't do it with my own cultivation, it needs the strength of the three of us to do it, it's really hard.

As soon as he passed the obstacle, there was a burst of boiling in his ears, and countless voices poured in from all directions, and he almost fainted.

"What the hell is going on, why can't I get out...!"

"God, this is Yugong's lower realm, how did such a big mountain come here!"

"Are we going to be trapped here!"

"Weird things happen every year, especially this year!"

"..."

It turns out that there are many mortals gathered beside the road behind the mountain wall, all of whom are villagers who have lived here for generations.There were waves of noise one after another, and there were hundreds of people at least.The three of us felt deafening before we even showed up, so we made a decisive decision to hide ourselves, and then slowly walked out of the fairy barrier.It seems that this barrier has a lot of effects, it can not only prevent outsiders from entering, but also prevent the residents of the mountain from going out, and even isolate the sound.But I don't think this is necessary. It is understandable to prevent outsiders from entering, but it is not very kind to prevent people inside from going out.If the evil spirits in the mountains rise up and attack the village and want to massacre the village, the residents can't get out even if they have legs, can't they just sit and wait for death? I guess the person who set up the barrier is not very proficient in the way of enchantment, so he can't set up a barrier that allows people to leave and not to enter. High-level enchantment, because of that enchantment, I can't display it.

Beidou covered his ears and said: "Should we just show our supernatural powers, open our identities, and negotiate with them openly, so that we can find out the truth."

Tu'er rolled his eyes: "If you are not afraid that the heavenly soldiers and generals will come down to take you, then go ahead and do it. Anyway, I will not accompany you."

I said sternly: "The case needs to be investigated, and the mysteries also need to be solved, but you should not reveal your identity unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if the heavenly soldiers and generals don't come down to take it, you will not be able to escape the power of God's wrath."

Beidou argued hard: "Then what if it is really a last resort and you can't do things without disclosing your identity?"

I said: "That's another matter, presumably God's punishment will be lenient at that time."

Beidou: "..."

Inside the barrier is the legendary Fenglai Mountain. Seeing is believing.The mountain is indeed a high mountain, and it can also be said to be a high mountain.Because the real Fenglai Mountain is not just one, but a large stretch of endless mountains, each mountain is higher than the other.It's just that the phoenix comes every day, but not only there is no auspicious sign of the phoenix coming, but it is even more eerie and weird than outside, and the mountains and plains are full of ominous omens.Arriving at this place, anyone with cultivation can tell at a glance that this place is extraordinary.Looking at the residents, they were all yellow and thin, and they were all wrapped in jackets. It was clearly early autumn, but they were dressed more thickly than in severe winter, which was inconceivable.

The rabbit flinched with his arms folded: "It's really cold, the aura of body protection doesn't seem to be very useful, let's go to the folks and elders to borrow two cloaks to put on." He was about to show his appearance.

Beidou said impatiently: "Okay, you are the one who has the most shit. There are ready-made ones here, take them." He took off his outer robe and handed it to him.

The rabbit took it and put it on: "Then what are you doing?"

Beidou glanced at him and sneered: "You treat everyone like you, and the delicate young lady in the mortal boudoir is not as hypocritical as you."

My brows twitched violently, I endured it again and again, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore. I turned around and said, "What the hell are you here for?"

Tu'er hurriedly said: "Of course I came here with the adults to find someone to help them eradicate evil spirits and maintain peace in the world. As for the person next to me, the adults should let him go, otherwise staying here will be unsightly. Let me take a look." I felt like throwing up once, which seriously affected my physical and mental health, and even affected my work."

Beidou: "..."

I:"……"

Thousands of acres of Fenglai Mountain are sealed in the barrier. Compared with the outside, the evil wind is extremely strong, but it is evenly distributed. It is really difficult to tell where the source of the center is entrenched, but since the area has been circled , the evil spirit is naturally also within the range of the enchantment, even if you search the mountain to find it, it is much easier than finding a needle in a haystack, so I am a little relieved.

There is a village at the foot of Fenglai Mountain, known as Fenglai Town.The mountain is next to the small town, and it is named after the mountain.This name is not level, and one can tell that it must not be named by some literati.

Although it is just a rural village, its scale is not small. At a glance, there are five to six hundred people.The crowd gathered around the fairy barrier and talking about it only accounted for half of them, which is impressive.

I made a suggestion that there is not much difference if three people check together and the same person checks alone.However, it is more efficient for three people to check separately than to check together, and they will get more information at the same time, so they split up.Beidou has a relatively deep cultivation, so I went to the nearby mountains for reconnaissance; Rabbit is better at speaking, so I went to the crowded East Street to inquire and consult; as for me, my cultivation base is pertinent and my eloquence is more pertinent, so I went to West Street, where there are fewer people. Take a look.

Picking a secluded alley, I changed my body to show my figure, and Shi Shiran walked slowly to the street.However, after taking two steps, there was a rattling sound above his head, followed by a flash of light in his eyes.

The white flowers of Mingqian are flying all over the sky, like snowflakes covering the sky and covering the ground.In the rain of paper money, there is a funeral procession, twelve young and strong men carrying an alder coffin.Beside the coffin, there was also a rough man accompanying him, holding a large wad of Ming coins in his hand, and sprinkled a handful every seven steps.His face was mottled with tears, and two were squeezed out every step he took.It is clear that the five are big and the three are rough, but weeping into tears, sobbing all the way, I really feel sorry for him.

The only regrettable thing is that there should be a piece of red silk on the coffin, and two roosters are tied with hemp rope on the red silk. They are fluttering their wings chirping, struggling hard and futilely, making a very lively noise.

I leaned to the left to dodge, to make way for the dead.I saw some people standing in twos and threes on both sides of the road, and there was a muttering or two from time to time.

"Oh, what a good girl, if you say no, you will be gone."

"Qingqing is also pitiful, this bride died before she was finished..."

"You said that this child is beautiful and capable, but why is his life so hard..."

"What evil did the Fang family do? The family is dead crazy, there is only such a single seedling left, and now it is gone."

"A lover can never live a long life. My God, they really don't have eyes."

"..."

Watching the funeral procession gradually drifting away and gradually carried up the mountain, I squinted my eyes and stared at the coffin for a moment, opened my eyes.

As soon as Fayan opened, he gained the power of perspective, and at a glance, there were indeed two dead bodies lying side by side in the dark coffin.Those two corpses, a man and a woman, share a pillow, and the mourning clothes are also of the same style, it really is a mandarin duck burial.

The so-called mandarin duck burial is a unique funeral for a man and a woman who died at the same time, and whose houses and residences are near the same night.Men and women share a coffin, enter the same tomb, and are buried in the same hole.It is said that the people buried in this ritual are a man and a woman. If there is no estrangement in life, the yin and yang will be harmonious, and they will be accompanied by each other on the road to the underworld. They can die peacefully without any resentment. , is a kind of funeral.

The reason why I can see that it is a mandarin duck burial is because of the clues that passers-by are talking about; and second, because of the two roosters on the top of the coffin.Generally, if a person dies in a village or town in the mortal world, unless cremated, a rooster must be tied to the coffin on the day of the funeral, commonly known as the guiding rooster.Because the deceased may not be haunted by ghosts after death, it is easy to lose their way, find the way to the underworld, and become a lonely wild ghost if they are not careful. Early reincarnation.Usually a pair of coffins can only hold one person, so only one guide chicken is needed.This one has two, which means that there are two people in the coffin.

Those two people just went to the funeral today, and it seems that they died in the last few days, and the fourth period was not long, probably only a few hours or half a day at most.The strange thing is that here, although the two of them died at similar times, and most of them died on the same day, their death conditions were vastly different.

Just now I opened my Dharma Eyes to see, the female corpse in the coffin was normal, her eyes were closed, her face was black and purple.But the male corpse was a bit weird, his whole face was covered with maggots, his flesh and blood had been rotted into mud, and his facial features were blurred.Maggots crawled in and out of the carrion, and if it wasn't for some fresh brains from time to time, he would have thought the man had been dead for a month.

In order to confirm whether the death dates of these two people are similar, I have to find someone to consult and confirm, so as not to guess wrong.

Because the young man's death was probably linked to evil spirits, which would have brought panic to the residents, I decided to keep a low profile and grabbed a middle-aged woman who was peeping in the room with Jing Mimi, and followed Jing Mimi to hide in the door.

Seeing me suddenly barging in, the woman had a terrified expression on her face, her hands crossed her chest, as if she was about to shout molestation, so I hurriedly said, "Don't panic, auntie, I'm just worrying for a while."

Regarding this title, it is really against my will.Just imagine, it has been more than [-] years since my ascension, this woman must be a middle-aged lady, in terms of age alone, her ancestors may not be as good as me, but she has to act in a hurry, so she has no choice but to go against her will.

Thinking of a famous saying in the world that money can turn ghosts, she took out an ingot and shook it in front of her.

Sure enough, "Auntie" completely forgot herself when she saw the shining golden ingot, fearing that someone would snatch it from her, she grabbed it into her hand, kissed and kissed, and said, "Okay, if you have any orders, please open your mouth. Wow , this gold looks really beautiful!"

I:"……"
