six thousand

That "auntie" had a lot of money in her hand, she was so happy that she told everything without hiding anything.But it was also because she was so happy that she was so excited that she couldn't help herself, and she talked in a nonsensical manner.I have to listen to two or three sentences before I can chew and understand that sentence by myself, which wasted a lot of time.By the time she uttered what she knew all at once like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, an hour had already passed.

That's what happened.

This Fenglai Mountain has a long history and a long history.This aunt has lived here for generations, her surname is Wang, and she is a genuine local.As a local, I have a panoramic view of the strange scenery of the local area.

Earlier, I heard someone say that strange things happen every year, especially this year. It is not a sigh, nor is it exaggerated. Fenglai Mountain does have a lot of strange things every year.

It is rumored that it was a long time ago, how long it was exactly, and I can't remember clearly, and there is no need to go so far, anyway, it has been a long time.At that time, there lived next door to her house a young girl named Qing Meng, who was about the same age, gentle and kind-hearted, delicate and delicate, so that people couldn't help but like her at first sight.Her parents went to Huangquan together in the year she was married, and betrothed her to a family before they died.

Her fiancé, surnamed Lin Minghan, cared for her in every possible way, fearing that she would lose it when she held it in her hand, or melt in her mouth if she held it in her mouth.As soon as the two elders left, he took Qing Meng to live with the Lin family, planning to pick an auspicious day to get married after a while.Unexpectedly, in the first half month of the engagement, strange things began to happen.

Qing Meng was born virtuous and virtuous, although she looks like a small family, but her soft hands are very diligent and thrifty.When Lin Han wakes up every morning, she has prepared meals, and she has to go to the fields to work during the day. She is a good girl praised by everyone in the neighborhood.Suddenly one day, Lin Han woke up in the morning as usual, but his fiancée didn't prepare breakfast for him, and was still sleeping soundly on the couch.At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, and I cooked the food with my own hands.When he prepared the food, Qing Meng still hadn't woken up from the dream.He didn't bother, he cleaned up the dishes and went out to work, but when he returned in the evening, Qing Meng was still sound asleep.He tried to wake him up, but Qing Meng only vaguely said that he was very sleepy and didn't want to get up, saying that he had already had dinner.

He thought she might be too tired, so he didn't think too much, just rested as usual, but the same thing happened the next day.He was a little panicked, fearing that his fiancée might be feeling unwell, so the doctor came to make a diagnosis and treatment, but he couldn't find out why. Qing Meng's body and bones were no different from ordinary people.It's not that he's passed out, he can wake up at any time, but he's only half asleep and half awake, refusing to stay on the bed.After finally getting off the couch, I just ate something and fell asleep on the table again.

Since then, Qing Meng has suffered from sleep-eating disease.Lin Han was so worried that he finally suffered from insomnia one day, lying on the couch tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard something strange outside the room. It seemed that there were footsteps coming from near to far. I stayed on the bed curiously, and looked out through the crack of the door. It turned out that Qing Meng had left the door.He only thought that she had gone to the toilet, and went back to the couch, but Qing Meng didn't come back for a long time.Once the footsteps went away, they never came back.He was worried, so he ran to the latrine to see that it was empty, there was no Qingmeng, and he thought maybe she had already returned to the room, but he was absent-minded and didn't notice it, and went back to the fiancée's room, but there was still no one in it.

He didn't know where she had gone, and wanted to go out to look for her, but he couldn't find her, and he was afraid of disturbing the sleep of his parents and neighbors, so he went back to his room and continued to wait. It was not until Mao Shichu that there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the room. .He rolled over and got down on the bed, and wanted to ask where Qing Meng had gone in the middle of the night, but after a little hesitation, Qing Meng had already fallen asleep, and it was inconvenient for him to disturb her again, but suspicions arose in his heart.

The next day, he purposely stayed up all night, turned off the lights and pretended to fall asleep. After a quarter of an hour, he heard another creaking sound. It was Qing Meng who opened the door, followed by the sound of footsteps.He immediately got off the bed and followed behind on tiptoe.But Qing Meng didn't bring up the lamp or light the candle, just went straight to the barren hill behind the house like a ghost with empty hands.He was afraid of being noticed by the other party, so he didn't dare to make any noise, he was cautious, but in the middle of the night, the lights were dark, his eyes could not see, and soon he lost track of Qing Meng, so he had to go back to the room and wait.

Sure enough, it was several hours later before Qing Meng came back.Lin Han didn't dare to disturb her, and planned to explore the mountain during the day when Qing Meng was asleep, but returned in vain. The mountain was remote and gloomy, with few people and no paths to find.

He planned to observe Qing Meng for another night, and if he still couldn't find out, he would directly ask each other to find out.As a result, I still couldn't track it down that night, and lost it after only a few steps.

So he turned back and waited directly in front of the door. As soon as Qing Meng appeared, he rushed up to ask her where she had gone.

Qing Meng avoided answering, only saying that she was very sleepy and needed to rest.He was slightly sullen, and said in a slightly heavy tone: "You should come up with a name anyway, how can you make me feel at ease?" Qing Meng actually cried Lihua with rain, he had no choice but to let her go back to rest.

He also had no intention of going to the ground that day, and told his parents about Qing Meng's situation, but he couldn't discuss why, so he found Aunt Wang next door and asked her to help make up her mind. Aunt Wang suggested that when Qing Meng went out tonight, Lin Han stopped her and asked her to take him up the mountain to see what happened.

This was a good idea, Lin Han decided to follow through, and stopped Qing Meng that night, determined to go up the mountain with her, Qing Meng agreed.

This was what the Lin family's parents told Aunt Wang later. As for what happened after the two of them went up the mountain, it is unknown.Lin Han never talked about it with anyone again, but the two elders of the Lin family found that since that day, the two of them watched in the middle of the night, and Qing Meng no longer went up the mountain alone in the middle of the night, nor did he sleep during the day, and he regained his former radiance , the cock crowed.The two are harmonious and happy, even closer than before.

Soon, the two tied the knot, and after only three days, Qing Meng became pregnant. It could have been said that double happiness came to the family, but this pregnancy was very strange. Qing Meng was getting better every day, but her body was getting worse. She was skinny, and when she went out for a while, others seemed to see a ghost, but they couldn't recognize her. On the third day, she repeated the same mistakes as before and fell into bed.In the middle of the night, the abdominal pain was unbearable, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, making the neighbors restless.

This is clearly a disease, the doctor did not find out the cause of the disease, but found that the fetus in the womb was lifeless, it was clearly a stillbirth, but the doctor tried his best to use all available methods, but he could not kill the stillbirth To take it out, the Lin family had to ask another Gao Ming.

The two elders of the Lin family really went all the way to the city to invite a famous doctor, and the results of the diagnosis and treatment were the same as before, but the doctor said that Qing Meng's disease was not a common one, and it was probably caused by an evil spirit, or something unclean, and there was no cure. If you are a doctor, you need to ask a Taoist priest to open an altar to practice or you can be rescued.

So the two elders asked someone to invite a wandering Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was a disciple of a certain immortal family who went out to practice. When he saw Qingmeng's symptoms, he immediately knew that there was something wrong with the fetus in her womb, but he couldn't see what the problem was. In short, he was sure that it was an evil thing, so he immediately cast a spell to exorcise the evil. Unexpectedly, the evil was not expelled, but he himself was possessed by the evil. After doing a ritual, he did it in a mess. , the more his face became more ferocious, he shouted: "How could this be, how could this be?" Zhuang Ruo was crazy, his voice was hoarse, he lost his temper when he shouted, and died suddenly on the spot. Two people died.

After such a toss, not only did Qing Meng's illness fail to heal, but it became more and more serious. Howling in the middle of the night made the family restless, and the neighbors were very troubled. They wanted to drive Qing Meng out of town. The second elder couldn't bear to part with his son, so he had to move his family away, and never came back after leaving.

No one knows where they went, but they would not go to a crowded place, otherwise they would have to move every day before Qing Meng's illness recovered.Also because of the Lin family's departure, all sorts of strange things began to happen frequently in Fenglai Town.

For example, there is a well-known number one scholar in the town, who is well-educated and talented, and suddenly becomes stupid one day; another example is that the diligent girls suddenly become lazy and lazy; another example is the kind and honest guy suddenly His temperament changed drastically, he became ferocious, and he ran amok everywhere; the most weird thing is that people in the town died from time to time.The strong man who was alive and kicking the day before was left with only a mummy the next morning... and many other cases like this are unimaginable, and the reason why it happened is unknown.

This kind of situation has continued from that year to the present. Although it is frequent, it is not particularly frequent. It usually happens once every month. As for the dead, not many people die in a year.Counting the number of victims within a year, there were more than a dozen people. Fenglai Town is huge. Although there were more than a dozen people who were victims, there were still tens of millions of people who were not victims. Therefore, the town has not been abandoned so far, and there are still many residents.

As for today's mandarin duck burial, he was also one of the victims.The man's surname was Fang, and his name was Fang Hui; the woman's name was Qingqing, an orphan and a pregnant woman, they were both unmarried, but Fang Hui died on the night of their engagement.Both parents in his family died early. Originally, there were two older sisters. One died in the mountains two years ago, and the other became insane, and finally ran away from home.

Fang Hui and Qingqing were childhood sweethearts, and they were in love with each other.When her fiancé died, she knelt in front of the coffin and was quietly poisoned to commit suicide. Before she died, she left a last wish, asking her only brother in the family to bury her and Fang Hui Yuanyang together, praying that they would not share the same bed in life, and sleep in the same hole in death. Hope to be a husband and wife in the next life.

This pair is really embarrassing, and I was a little touched when I heard it, quite depressed.

Aunt Wang said: "Three years ago, a Taoist priest came to the town. After hearing about the strange things here, he deduced that there were monsters in our mountains, which were designed to harm the good people. Qing Mengnv was killed by this monster back then. I was fascinated, and finally caused the Lin family to become like that. After the first time, there will be a second time, so there will be more and more strange things later, and the mountain monster will become more and more daring and reckless."

I couldn't help raising my eyebrows: "Oh, the mountain monster, I don't know if anyone has seen it before."

Aunt Wang's complexion was serious, and she became serious: "Don't tell me, someone has seen it. Not long after the Taoist priest left, our mayor went out to relieve himself in the middle of the night, and saw a white thing writhing around in the woodshed. Looking over, it turned out to be a child, wearing a mourning dress, with a blue face, fangs and red eyes, and a bald head, hiding and eating people there, with blood all over his mouth, some intestines hanging from his teeth, and he grabbed the An unfinished arm. The village head yelled, alarming the neighbors, and ran over to watch, many people saw it, it was absolutely true!"

I frowned when I heard it, and said: "What happened later? Did the mountain monster continue to kill and kill everyone who saw it?"

Aunt Wang was a very courageous woman, and she snorted: "These monsters and goblins are all shady things. They only dare to kill quietly, and they only dare to hide and eat when they cannibalize. So many of us witnessed it on the spot. If it dared to stay, it ran away in disgrace. Hmph, if it hadn’t been for its fast escape, it would have been caught and thrown into the fire to comfort the spirits of the victims!”

I think she should have said almost everything she knew, and she was about to leave, but she was so excited when she said it, she couldn't stop at all, and continued with relish after humming: "By the way, there is another strange thing. A few days ago, we The wide and open road at the entrance of the town is blocked? This mountain monster who suffered a thousand knives actually moved a mountain from nowhere and put it on the road, obviously trying to kill us!"

I:"……"

I wanted to remind her if she had misunderstood something, but it would only get darker and darker when she said it, and it was hard to tell if it was reasonable, and the secret must not be leaked, so it was better not to say it.

But I didn't say it, but Aunt Wang wanted to say it. After she finished scolding the mountain monster, she smiled at me mysteriously: "Young master, my little girl suddenly thought of a strange thing here, and I want to ask you for advice."

Her little girl's voice sounded like a magic voice to my ears, and she coughed unaccustomed: "Tell me and listen."

She leaned closer: "My lord, you are not a native of Fenglai Mountain."

I was stuck in the same place, and suddenly something bad happened.

She said slowly: "Little girl, I have never seen you before. Recently, the road we must pass to enter the town has been blocked again. Where did you come from, you?"

I was about to give her a satisfactory answer, but she didn't give her the chance, and rushed to say: "I know, the young master must have come to our town from the sky."

I thought to myself that you are really smart, and corrected her: "You really guessed wrong, I came here on foot."

Aunt Wang became impatient: "It doesn't matter whether you came here on foot or by flight, it's fine if you didn't cheat for food and drink. Since you came to me to inquire about this matter, you must be someone who is not waiting for you. The disciples of the Xianmen came here attracted by the strange talk here, and their purpose is obvious. I only hope that you can bring that mountain monster to justice as soon as possible, everyone is very grateful."

She spoke so clearly that I was speechless.Who said that mortals are incompetent?It is impressive to pick any village woman in this remote village who is a talent.

What is even more impressive is that Aunt Wang is an honest person. She said that the number of people killed in these years has actually been counted, and the identity of these people and the specific time of murder are recorded in detail.Because Fenglai Mountain is isolated from the outside world, there is no government office in the town, so the booklets recording these cases are all in the hands of the mayor. I suggest that I go to the mayor to discuss the auspicious situation. I think it is very necessary.

Aunt Wang led me to the mayor's house, only to find that someone was one step ahead of me.

Aunt Wang howled in front of the door: "Lao Li, come out quickly, the distinguished guest has arrived!"

As expected, Lao Li came at the sound, opened the door at a trot and came out. Behind him was a person who followed at a leisurely pace, waving a pleated fan in his hand, dressed in white, with a flirtatious appearance, walked out, and was taken aback when he saw me. Followed by beaming.

It is the rabbit.Well, it seems that he knows everything I know, and most of what I don't know he already knows. The action is very fast, and I am very relieved.

Old Li stuck on his crutches and said, "Every time you come to my house, there will be no good things. There are many farts all day long. Tell me, why do you need the old man's help today?"

Aunt Wang snorted: "You old man is the one who can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth. You can't say anything good when you open your mouth. Today I came to eliminate harm for the people. Don't neglect the immortal."

"Immortal" Lao Li was stunned, and then looked at me: "This young master..."

"That's right." Aunt Wang quickly recommended: "This young man is the immortal who came to subdue demons and demons. With him here, I can guarantee that all mountain spirits and wild monsters will not be able to hide."

I covered my mouth and coughed.God pity you, I never said that, it was all her hype!

For some reason, after Lao Li glanced at me, his face was full of disdain, and he didn't care about my face, and said: "Where did you find these messy bastards, you are afraid that I will neglect you, and they are cheating and cheating?"

I didn't change my face. As a senior priest in the Nine Heavens, I don't care about this ignorant mortal.The rabbit over there was a little confused, looking at me full of doubts.

Lao Li turned aside, and let the rabbit out: "I have seen this kind of bluffing magic stick a lot, and I can only shame it. Let you see and see, the one next to the old man is the real fairy. Just now The art of turning a stone into gold is really unfathomable, and the old man admires it."

I murmured in my heart, I'm afraid you were not blinded by other people's tricks.

Aunt Wang looked at Tu'er up and down, with a look of disgust on her face: "I'm afraid this oily-haired and flour-faced kid is half-baked. Let me tell you, Lao Li, don't let your little tricks fool you."

I:"……"

Rabbit: "..."

Everyone was speechless, when suddenly a gust of dark wind hit, and the evil spirit in the wind raged, and there was a crackling sound in the eastern sky, like the sound of glass shattering.Rabbit and I looked up at the same time, and saw that the fairy barrier surrounding Fenglai Mountain was breaking apart inch by inch.Black clouds rolled over the mountain, but the auspicious aura of the priest appeared and disappeared from time to time.

I frown, it seems that the so-called "mountain monster" has appeared!

The rabbit yelled: "No, it's Big Dipper, he's fighting with people... no, he's fighting with demons!" As he said that, he drove the auspicious cloud and flew over quickly.I didn't care about explaining to Aunt Wang and the old mayor, and followed together, and then I heard the two screaming behind me, as if I had seen a ghost.

It was the Fenglai Mountainside where the sound came from.The two of us approached quickly, probably because the clouds were so ostentatious, and the immortal energy overflowed too much, the evil spirit sensed that someone was approaching here from a long distance away, and actually slipped away.The billowing black clouds in the sky dissipated in an instant, revealing the setting sun like blood in the setting sun.

When the two of us arrived, there was only Beidou alone on the mountainside.I took a quick look and found that his hair and clothes were in a mess, and Suo Xin was not injured, so I felt a little relieved and immediately went around to see if there were any traces of evil spirits.

Just now, among the clouds, I seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure plunging into the hemlock forest surrounded by the black mist, so I went in along.But the forest was filled with darkness and gloomy shape. I opened my eyes and looked around, but found nothing, only the smell of blood and monster.

I wanted to try to see if I could use my nose to sniff the demonic aura and chase after it, but the bloody smell in the demonic aura was too strong, and the two smells were mixed together, and when I inhaled it, I felt like vomiting, spinning around and almost fainted Fell, finally stabilized, and quickly closed the nose consciousness.

But when I stabilized, I suddenly felt that this evil spirit seemed to be familiar, and I felt like reunion after a long time, which was very weird.Just as I was trying my best to think if this was some evil creature I had enlightened a while ago, this inexplicable feeling disappeared again, and I couldn't find it no matter how hard I searched, so I had to regard it as an illusion.

The plan to hunt down the evil spirits by relying on the evil spirit has failed, but the bloody smell here still needs to be checked to see if anyone nearby has been fed.The smell was unusually strong, and there might be more than one person.

Facts have proved that my guess is very wise.Sure enough, there were not only one dead body nearby, but many people.

Outside the hemlock forest is a cemetery, which can barely be regarded as a mass grave.Those graves are piled up here and there, some with steles and some without steles, and they are buried in a mess.Dozens of graves were dug up, and the coffins inside were also pried open, revealing the rotting corpses inside.

He hurriedly re-buried the tomb, and walked around the cemetery twice, and found that there were countless tombs here, and Fanghui and Qingqing's new tombs were among them.

There was no extra gain, so I turned back along the original road, and I heard the mother-in-law of the rabbit talking from a distance: "Oh, what did someone say earlier? You deserve to be embarrassed. I saw that it was really good. Hey, aren't you Said that if I didn't accompany you today, I wouldn't be able to surrender to a demon. Do I still have to surrender to a demon? But looking at your appearance now, if my lord and I didn't come, you might as well surrender to that demon, hehe Hee hee hee..." Before he finished he saw me, and immediately gave up the Big Dipper and came over.

"How is it, my lord, have you chased that thing?" After a pause, he seemed to realize that he asked knowingly, and then said: "Then see what that thing looks like, and in which direction is it fleeing? There is still time for us to chase Xu. .”

I can't answer any of these questions with my head held high. After thinking about it, I still feel that everything is more important than my body, so I pretended to care and said: "I'm not busy, let's see how Beidou is doing first? The injury is still serious." I thought: Originally It should be able to catch up, but it's a pity that it came a bit late. That thing is not small, and it is even more capable of escaping. It disappeared without a trace in a short time.

Tu'er gave me a weird look: "My lord, you went straight after that thing as soon as you came, and didn't care whether Beidou was frustrated. Isn't it too late to come here now..."

I became angry from embarrassment, and shouted: "Shut up, you are getting more and more presumptuous, and there is nothing in your mouth that sounds good." Although my words are not very pleasant, they are better than words from the heart.

After being treated by the rabbit, Beidou's messy body is no longer messy, and with a pleated fan, there is another handsome man in Yushu Linfeng, and said: "My lord, I am not injured, but almost injured. Fortunately, you are in time." Hurry up. If I'm a little late, I'm afraid I'm going to get hurt."

I became serious: "You mean, the cultivation level of the thing that fights with you has surpassed yours." Beidou Xingjun is the god in charge of the stars. Naturally, this job also has a middle-of-the-road cultivation base.There are many immortals in Jiuchongtian who are far superior to him, and there are also many who are inferior to him. It seems that the evil spirit is really difficult, no wonder Qianluan and Sang Chen missed it.

When I returned to the mayor’s house, it was the end of the day, and the chickens and animals returned to their nests, but there were still a large group of Fenglai townspeople who did not return to their nests. They all gathered at the mayor’s house and held a banquet. return.

Because two pairs of eyes have witnessed my peerless demeanor and boundless supernatural powers before, everyone believes that we are immortals with real talents and knowledge, and deeply thinks that we will definitely win a big victory this time. , so we are ready to clean up the dust for us.

Looking at their earnest faces, I had no choice but to tell the truth, spreading my hands and saying: "Thank you folks and elders for your love, but I'm really sorry, that mountain monster is very powerful... It's so cunning that it can't beat the three of us So they farted to smoke us up, and fled while we were covering our noses, so that this operation failed, which really failed everyone's expectations."

The mayor, Old Li, still had a happy smile on his face, and said cheerfully: "The immortal speaks seriously, that mountain monster is very cunning, our neighbors here have learned it a long time ago. Although the Great Immortal didn't catch the mountain monster this time, he broke its demonic skills, The Zhenkou road has been opened, so you don’t have to be trapped to death in the mountains. This is the blessing of Fenglai, and I really want to thank the Great Immortal.”

When he said it, everyone agreed.

I cupped my fists and laughed dryly: "Hehe, it's easy to say, easy to say."
