At this time, footsteps came from behind. Jiang Hua didn't need to look back to know that someone was coming here, but there was still some distance away. Nie Xiaoqian, the female ghost who rescued Ning Caichen from the water, also noticed the movement and came from the other side. While hiding in the woods, the tragic scholar fell into the water again.
Ning Caichen woke up and climbed up to the pavilion from the water. He looked around and found no trace of Yi Ren. Looking at the Yaoqin in the pavilion, he quickly picked it up and crossed the bridge into the woods.
The two did not hide their figures, and were soon discovered by Yan Chixia, who was rushing over and came to the two of them: "What are you two young people doing here? Aren't you afraid of losing your lives? You still have these two little guys with you, Come here and give supper to the monster?"
"Taoist Master, we heard the sound of the piano just now, and Ning Caichen came over. We also came to take a look. Unexpectedly, we met a female ghost." Jiang Hua glanced at Yan Chixia and said, Li Qingyun was not very honest while holding two The little leopards were waving their paws at Yan Chixia. Apparently they understood his teasing words.
Yan Chixia was also surprised: "You know that the person in the pavilion is a ghost. Have you seen it before?"
"No, it's just that the figure in the pavilion is a bit illusory, not very real, and not a normal person at all, so we guessed that she is a ghost." Jiang Hua found an excuse, otherwise we could say that we knew it in the movie.
Yan Chixia touched her beard and looked at the two of them. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Can you all see that she is illusory?"
Jiang Hua was a little strange: "Yeah, what's the meaning in this?"
"Then there must be a difference." Yan Chixia's face had a hint of excitement: "Let me tell you, being able to see the difference between ghosts and humans means that you are very intelligent. I won't say more now, I'm going to take a look. That scholar, let’s talk later.”
Jiang Hua pointed to the direction Ning Caichen left and reminded: "The scholar has entered the woods over there."
Yan Chixia's figure that originally rushed out turned around and chased towards the place guided by Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua and the two of them also followed. Watching Yan Chixia scurrying back and forth among the woods, the two of them carefully floated behind, using the help of The canopy hides the figure.
Yan Chixia was quickly attracted by the movement in the woods. The so-called bystanders were clear. The two people who could see in the dark soon discovered that the scholar Ning Caichen was hiding under the bushes on one side and the other two were hiding under the bushes. The female ghost Nie Xiaoqian on the tree, when Ning Caichen accidentally made a noise, causing the nervous Yan Chixia to quickly jump up and slash her sword, the female ghost who had already developed feelings for the scholar did not care about hiding her figure and hurriedly Flying to block.
When Yan Chixia was about to behead her, a white figure came over. She quickly turned around to avoid it, then used her strength on a tree trunk to chase the white figure. Now he could see clearly that the white figure was the nearby tree demon. The female ghosts under his command attract passers-by and provide living yang energy to the tree demon.
Although Yan Chixia was very good at Qinggong, it was not as good as the ghost who had given up her body. Seeing that she was about to fly away, she quickly took out a golden needle from her waist and shot it at Nie Xiaoqian. It was said to be a golden needle, but in fact it was a palm-long metal nail.
Just when Yan Chixia was chasing Nie Xiaoqian, Jiang Hua felt a breath appearing in the bushes on one side. It was not pure Yin Qi, but very messy. When Yan Chixia shot out the golden needle, the same breath appeared under the ground. On the path where the golden needle passed, a small tree quickly grew up, blocking the golden needle. For some unknown reason, flames ignited on the tree after the collision, and a scream suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Nie Xiaoqian, who escaped, quickly ran away and disappeared, as if she had become invisible. Under Jiang Hua's induction, a cloud of yin energy appeared where the female ghost disappeared, and then left quickly. Obviously, ghosts in this world can appear to people. It can also turn into Yin Qi and become invisible.
The cooked duck just flew away. Yan Chixia, who returned without success, was so angry that she jumped on her feet and yelled: "You think you are the only one who can scream, and I can't scream, ah..."
At this time, the screams stopped, and a male and female voice appeared around him: "Smelly old man, all of us just want to live in this place. The people I killed were all the ones who brought it upon themselves. Why do you always have trouble with me?"
Yan Chixia held the long sword in her hand and looked around vigilantly to prevent the tree demon from sneaking up on her: "Damn it, who can't get into trouble with you? I'm hiding in this damn place just to avoid the grudges of the world."
The dryad's voice was still quibbling: "Since everyone wants to reduce the number of sinful people, we are also on the same path."
"Bah, you're a fellow? You're the same as your mother! I don't care if you kill bad guys. If you kill the wrong good guy, I'll kill you then." After hearing the dryad's sophistry, Yan Chixia, a casual person, The Taoist priest spat and cursed, and after he finished cursing, he blew on the burning tree, and the burning tree trunk was extinguished instantly. The magic was really magical and worth learning.
After Jiang Hua felt that the chaotic atmosphere nearby had disappeared, he knew that there was no excitement here. Then he slowly fell to the ground, took two steps forward and came to Yan Chixia's side: "Taoist Master Yan, what happened just now?" ,monster?"
"You don't want to die, why are you here? You saw and heard just now that he is a thousand-year-old demon with extremely powerful magic. I can't do anything to him, let alone your little tricks." Yan Chixia looked at the two people who were carefree and leisurely. She really didn't fear those who didn't know.
There was nothing else going on here. The two followed Yan Chixia back to Lanruo Temple. Since it was late at night, the two parties did not communicate much. They went back to their rooms to rest. However, the two little leopards who had just gained new abilities were a little excited. It floated around the room, falling on the two of them from time to time and then flying away, making them unable to sleep well all night.
The next day, I slept until daylight. When I opened the window, Yan Chixia had already started to practice swordsmanship in the yard. She was playing like a tiger and a tiger. Because the window was a bit old, there was a lot of noise when the window was opened. There was a loud squeaking sound. Yan Chixia, who heard the sound, waved her long sword and then withdrew her sword.
"I said you young people are really brave. Hurry up and pack your things and go home. The world is too chaotic and demons are rampant. If you happen to touch them, it will kill you. With your little effort, you can deal with these ghosts. It doesn't work at all." Yan Chixia took a long breath after practicing her skills, then sat on the steps to rest, tilting her head and looking at Jiang Hua who was probing his head from the second floor.
"The two of us have little experience and don't know much about these ghosts and monsters. Why don't Taoist Yan tell us about them so that we can understand them better." Jiang Hua took the opportunity to ask about these things. As a Taoist priest who has been dealing with ghosts and ghosts all year round, he must be very familiar with these things. clear.
Yan Chixia glanced at Jiang Hua, then looked at the morning sunshine, stood up slowly, stretched, and then jumped into her room from the second floor window: "I have a booklet here, which contains common sense about these things. , it should be of some use to you."
Jiang Hua took out a piece of cooked meat from the food box on the table, wrapped it in hemp paper and left the room. After waiting for a few seconds, Yan Chixia's door opened and a booklet was thrown over: "This is for you."
I caught the book. There was no name on the cover at all. From the tilted cover, I could see that the text inside was a bit scrawled. It was obviously not a regularly published book and should have been recorded by Yan Chixia.
Without checking it immediately, she threw the paper bag to him. Before Jiang Hua said what it was, Yan Chixia just raised her nose and said in surprise: "Qujia Braised Pork."
"Yes, we passed by Guobei County yesterday and bought a lot. I'll give this to you. I didn't expect that the Taoist priest is also a good eater." Jiang Hua sorted out the booklet in his hand, and Yan Chixia could It was not well preserved and every corner was in a mess.
"Then I won't be polite." Yan Chixia was not polite either, she just smiled and went back to her room to have a drink.
Jiang Hua returned to the room and used the transformation technique to create two chairs. He flipped through the booklet and saw Li Qingyun, who was still lying on the hammock, squinting and teasing the cat.
There isn't much in the booklet. It just briefly introduces the environments where demons and ghosts appear, and how some common ghosts are formed.
There is a balance between Yin and Yang in the human body. When Yang Qi disappears and only Yin Qi remains, the person dies. That is to say, the life span of Yang is near. When a person dies, if he is contaminated with evil spirits, he will turn into a ghost. When a person dies, If you are unwilling to take your last breath, you will become a zombie. The zombies are not very lethal, but if they are nourished in a special environment, they will become zombies.
Some spiritual beasts, plants or spiritual veins have developed spiritual intelligence due to special environments, acquired cultivation methods, sucked the energy of heaven and earth, and are called demons. For some reason, all the immortals and Buddhas in this world have disappeared. This is also The cause of the rampant demons.
There really isn't much text in ancient books. After all, they are written with brushes. After reading it, Jiang Hua handed it to Li Qingyun and asked her to understand: "You also have a look, but why have all the gods and Buddhas in this world disappeared? And those It’s really strange that among the powerful monks and demons, only those with low cultivation level are left.”
Li Qingyun took the book and started reading it. From time to time, she would fiddle with the two troublemakers: "Is there no record in it?"
"No, it only records some common sense here. There is no important information at all. I wonder if Taoist Master Yan has any books recording talisman and seal skills. I wonder if I can borrow them?" Jiang Hua felt a little emotional, took out some cooked meat, and Two little cheetahs were attracted to save them from being naughty.
"You two little guys are really carefree." Jiang Hua was also preparing to have breakfast. He took out a small stove that was folded up and about the size of a palm. It was about 20 centimeters when unfolded. Then he looked for the worn-out doors and windows in the room and used a knife to I broke it open and used it as firewood. I took out a small pot and started boiling water. It was still comfortable to eat hot rice in the morning. I mixed some cold vegetables and cooked a portion of porridge.
As breakfast was slowly finished, the aroma became stronger and stronger, drifting out from the dilapidated room. After all, these ingredients were carefully selected and exquisite. Of course, they also attracted Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen next door. Soon the door opened There was a knock on the door and Yan Chixia's rough voice said: "Jiang Hua, are you making breakfast? I really think it's more delicious than meat and wine."
Li Qingyun also got off the hammock, Jiang Hua opened the door, and the aroma suddenly became stronger. Yan Chixia's breathing became louder, and Ning Caichen also heard a hungry rumble from his stomach. The sudden sound made him blush even more.
Yan Chixia is not a shameless person, so she just comes to ask for food. Jiang Hua's voice just now was not quiet, and the dilapidated room was not soundproof. His idea of looking for spells and spells was also passed on. In addition to Yan Chixia not being able to Jiang Hua and Jiang Hua are considered to have wisdom in secret methods that have been passed down from outside and collected privately. If they practice successfully, they will also be beneficial to the people of Li.
"Being under the same roof is considered fate. If you two don't dislike it, you can come in together." Jiang Hua invited. After all, what he just said was a bit too obvious.
"Then I'm not welcome." Yan Chixia walked over carelessly. Ning Caichen stood there a little embarrassed. Yan Chixia really thought that she was not an outsider and dragged Ning Caichen forward.
