I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Ji Zihe hung the sword bag given by Yansheng on his waist in a conspicuous place, and carrying a lantern, he followed behind Yansheng step by step.Looking around, he was as cowardly as a little rabbit, as if he would quickly retreat into the hole if there was any trouble.

His nervousness didn't affect Yansheng at all. Yansheng had always been strolling around the courtyard, and when he saw his nervousness, he even laughed unscrupulously.

Ji Zihe had a sullen face. He was just an ordinary person. Although he could see ghosts, he had never seen a bad ghost or a monster who liked to eat people before.And now he has been written on the menu of monsters, so don't be afraid!

After leaving the temple gate, the two headed north all the way to a cemetery.There are many deserted graves in this cemetery, none of which have tombstones, and the tombs are low, with many weeds and wild balls growing on them. It is estimated that no one has come to worship for many years.

"That monster den is right here!" Ji Zihe's voice trembled, if there was only one ghost in a grave, how many ghosts would there be here?

"Yes." Yan Sheng led Ji Zihe to a poplar tree, and there was a crow's nest on the tree, "The monster's nest that made trouble in the temple is in this tree, you go to the side Come on, I have to find out where the monster's cave is."

Ji Zihe hurriedly took a step back, and carefully shone the lantern over there.Yan Sheng pushed aside the weeds, "I found it."

Ji Zihe leaned forward, looked at the hole the size of a thumb, and was a little skeptical, "Are you sure it's this one?"

"Of course, I'm going to the cave to kill the monster, you wait for me outside!" After finishing speaking, Yan Sheng staged a transformation in front of Ji Zihe.Ji Zihe felt a gust of wind blowing his face, and Yan Sheng disappeared.

Ji Zihe blinked his eyes,? ? ? ? ?

What the hell?Didn't they agree not to let him stay alone? Why did this unreliable person still throw him into the grave by himself.

The surroundings were quiet, as if even the sound of insects had disappeared.Ji Zihe hugged the lantern and found a place to squat down, crouching his head and looking around, curled up into a ball.

Not long after, there was a loud booming sound, followed by dust flying under the poplar tree. Even if Ji Zihe wasn't that close, he was slapped in the face by the turf.

The small hole under the poplar tree was blown into a large hole with a diameter of nearly one meter. The inside was pitch black and bottomless.

While Ji Zihe was still considering whether to go over to have a look, a group of transparent ghosts screamed and flew out of the hole.Seeing so many ghosts, Ji Zihe's face turned pale, but the ghosts turned even paler when they saw him, just like a mouse screaming more fiercely when it sees a cat.

They all said howling ghosts and howling wolves, and Ji Zihe had seen it today, so he quickly covered his ears, and lowered his head just in time to see the sword bag on his waist.He untied the sword bag and held it in his hands. The ghosts screamed, wishing they could grow eight legs, and they all avoided him and sank into the surrounding barren graves.

Just as Ji Zihe wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, there was another movement in the cave.A group of pheasants, lynxes, weasels and other small animals jumped out of the hole one after another and ran away in all directions.One of the foxes saw Ji Zihe's eyes light up when he just jumped out, and was about to pounce on him, but he hesitated when he saw the sword bag in his hand.

Seeing that all the small animals around had run away, it still made a decision, glanced at Ji Zihe reluctantly, and ran away quickly.

If you watched this scene without knowing it, you might be able to imagine a relationship between a human and a fox.

After being tested by ghosts and small animals, Ji Zihe, holding a sword bag in his hand, couldn't help becoming more courageous.Ghosts and monsters have come out, what else is in this hole?Why hasn't Yan Chixia come out yet?Could it be because he gave me the magic weapon (sword bag), so I can't beat that monster!

Ji Zihe approached the big hole a little bit holding his sword bag, with an expression of death on his face, Brother Yan, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!

Suddenly, a hand stretched out.Ji Zihe swallowed his saliva, this time it must be a zombie!

However, Ji Zihe glanced at the sword bag in his hand, and immediately became confident.He held up the lantern to shine into the cave, and a head came out, pushing the lantern aside.

"Ah, monster, I'm not afraid of you!" Ji Zihe swung his sword bag with his eyes closed and was about to hit the person on the head.

"Don't hit, don't hit, it's me!" Yan Chixia hurriedly said.

Ji Zihe's hand stopped in the air, and he opened one eye.The head stuck out, and Ji Zihe stretched the lantern somewhere so that Guang could see his face.Although he was disheveled, he could still tell that he was Yan Chixia.

But Ji Zihe remembered how the fox turned into a female ghost during the day, and still doubted in his heart, what if it was a monster.

"Who are you?" Ji Zihe said seriously.

"I'm your big brother Yan!"

"how to prove?"

Yan Chixia was a little helpless, "How do I know how to prove that I am me?"

Ji Zihe thought for a while, "Then let me hit you with a sword bag. This sword bag was given to me by Brother Yan. Even ghosts and ghosts are afraid, so I definitely wouldn't dare to let me hit it."

Yan Chixia nodded, this is indeed a good way, "Then you fight."

Ji Zihe unceremoniously pointed at Yan Chixia's head, seeing that nothing happened, he immediately made a 180-degree turn.Quickly put the sword bag on his waist to help him, and smiled diligently, "Brother Yan, I was scared to death, I thought something happened to you, come up quickly."

Yan Chixia opened her dead eyes, her face was expressionless, why did he think this kid did it on purpose.Could it be that he found out that he deliberately left him alone, and wanted to see him pee his pants in fright?

Yan Chixia crawled out of the hole, patted the ashes off her body with one hand, and carried a big squeaking mouse in the other hand.

"Brother Yan, why did you catch a mouse?" Ji Zihe asked in confusion.

Yan Chixia brought the big mouse in front of Ji Zihe, Ji Zihe remained calm, trying to scare him?He's not afraid of mice, Erhei in his house catches too many mice.

"This is the monster called Grandma." Yan Chixia explained without showing any disappointment.

"Ah, it's actually a mouse!" Ji Zihe was a little disappointed, he thought that the monsters under the fox were beasts like jackals, tigers and leopards, but it turned out to be a bigger mouse.

But think about it again, a mouse can have a fox as its subordinate, this must be a very inspirational mouse.

"Want to vent your anger? It has been ruined by me now, you can hit it casually!" Yan Chixia said.He deliberately spared the mouse's life for Ji Zihe to avenge, he is really a good man (Da Wu).

Ji Zihe originally wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to do anything to a mouse, because that scene made him feel very tasteless.But before he could speak, his chest suddenly felt hot, and Ji Zihe thought of the bones hanging on his chest.

"Boy, grab that mouse!"

Ji Zihe suddenly heard someone talking in his ear, he looked up at Yan Chixia, and found that he didn't seem to hear anything.

"I don't want to hit it, Brother Yan, what are you going to do with this monster?"

"Find an acquaintance to sell and make some money. These monsters that have been cultivated for a long time are no longer ordinary animals. They are full of treasures. They are good materials for alchemy or cultivation."
