Niu Yuanping did not dare to take the two cents on the bridge.
He hurried back to the inn.
He hurriedly opened the door and went in.
The door was closed so fast that Fatty Zhao woke up from sleeping on the floor.
He asked, "Why are you going?"
"There's a ghost!" Niu Yuanping shouted while running up the stairs in a panic.
Fatty Zhao looked at his back, furrowed his thick eyebrows and muttered, "What's wrong with you?..."
He just muttered and fell asleep again.
Niu Yuanping climbed up to the attic and escaped into bed.
The bed was already cold at this time, and coupled with the cold sweat just now, I was shivering from the cold.
Then he couldn't sleep anymore.
The next day, Niu Yuanping immediately told his boss about it.
The boss's surname is Li Mingde, and he is an old man who likes to smoke hookahs.
Li De listened to Niu Yuanping's statement, frowned, took a few puffs from his pipe, and said, "This matter is not simple! We must report it to the Yamen and ask the Yamen to invite the Demon Slayer to come and take a look!"
Having traveled here for half a year, Niu Yuanping has heard the most about Demon Slayers.
The Demon Suppression Department located in the Kyoto Prefecture of Dayan Kingdom specializes in training demon slayers. They can kill demons and protect civilians.
In every city in Dayan Kingdom, there will be two or three demon slayers stationed there. If someone reports to the Yamen that there are ghosts and evil spirits, they can contact the demon slayers to deal with it.
"Yuan Ping, go to the Yamen in Zhubii Town and report this matter! By the way, ask Old Liu in the Yamen for the money he owed for the last meal."
"ah?!……"
Niu Yuanping was a little helpless.
Okay!
I've brought myself into trouble...
If I had known this, I wouldn't have said this so much!
There was no other way, the boss gave the order, and he, a small waiter, had no choice but to obey the order.
I'm still counting on others to get paid for my food.
…
Zhubi Town is to the north of Zhubi Mountain, and Huangshizhuang is to the south of Zhubi Mountain.
To get to the Yamen of Zhubi Town, you have to climb over Zhubi Mountain.
The reason why Pig Nose Mountain is called Pig Nose Mountain is because the way in and out of the mountain is two cave corridors. These two cave corridors and the mountain behind form a pattern like a pig's head.
Taking advantage of the early weather, Niu Yuanping hurriedly entered the mountain.
At the beginning, the weather was quite clear, but unexpectedly, about an hour after walking, fog began to form in the mountains.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, so thick that it is difficult to see things two meters away.
"I forgot to look at the almanac when I went out! What a bad luck."
Niu Yuanping, standing in the mist, frowned.
"We can only go back."
Following the route I remembered, I followed the foggy mountain road and turned back in the direction of Huangshizhuang.
I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.
Niu Yuanping suddenly realized that something was not right.
He got lost!
By this time, the sun had already set.
The mountains are already eerie, and with the sun setting, it's really scary to be alone in the mountains.
Niu Yuanping's face was a bit ugly. After what he had experienced, he didn't want to walk here at night.
The only strange thing is that I lost too much time before getting lost, so I could only bite the bullet and find the way quickly.
It's a pity that it gets dark too quickly.
Looking at the dark mountain col, Niu Yuanping couldn't help feeling panicked.
The more flustered I am, the less I can find my way out.
Soon it was completely dark.
But fortunately the fog had dispersed and there was still a little moonlight. Niu Yuanping used the moonlight to walk among the weeds and trees.
He couldn't get out all the time, and he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating a little.
In this way, after wandering in the forest for more than an hour, I still couldn't find the way out of the mountain.
Niu Yuanping had no choice but to stop and calm himself down.
In the moonlight, he saw a rocky depression under a grassy slope.
Not a single blade of grass grows there within a radius of five feet.
The reason why he paid special attention to that place was because Niu Yuanping realized that he had passed by this place several times.
"Can't I just keep spinning around here?"
Niu Yuanping's eyes flashed slightly.
After some thought, he immediately turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the rocky depression.
Ignoring the scratches on his skin caused by thorns and bumps under his feet, Niu Yuanping ran in the forest.
However, after two sticks of incense, out of breath, he stopped.
What appeared in front of me was still the rocky depression under the grassy slope!
It's really spinning!
"Did you encounter a ghost and hit the wall?"
Niu Yuanping stared at the depression and swallowed.
Then he gritted his teeth, summoned up the courage, and walked towards the rocky depression.
As I got closer, I found a larger stone in the center of the pile of rocks. On this stone, there was a seedling growing.
It is the only one within five feet, so it is particularly conspicuous at this time.
Niu Yuanping became curious and walked closer to take a look.
When I looked at it, I found that it was actually a ginseng!
I have heard before that ginseng has spiritual power.
If you really encounter a ghost and beat the wall, then this ginseng plant may not be simple.
If you can't get out, it's probably it that's causing trouble!
So Niu Yuanping took courage and stood still.
Facing the ginseng on the big rock, he said loudly, "Elf in the mountain, please forgive me for being ignorant and entering your area by mistake! Please be noble and let me go out of the mountain!"
When he said this, Niu Yuanping kept staring at the ginseng. He was already convinced that there was something wrong with that thing.
really.
Not long after he finished speaking, an old voice came from Ginseng: "Do you need gold?"
Sure enough it’s not simple!
Niu Yuanping was startled and instinctively wanted to run away.
can be thought of immediately.
If you really fall into this trap, you won't be able to escape!
His back was soaked with cold sweat.
Resisting the urge to run away, he saluted it and said, "Boy... I don't want anything... I just want... I just want to leave Bi Di, please be kind to the elves!"
The ginseng did not pick up the stubble, just shook its branches, and used its roots to hold up a golden object.
"This is gold. I have a lot of gold that I can give to you." After saying that, he threw the gold to Niu Yuanping, and the gold rolled to his feet and stopped.
Niu Yuanping swallowed and looked at the ground.
Boldly, I bent down to pick it up in my hand and look at it carefully.
But soon, he looked confused.
"Is this gold?"
Faced with the question, Ginseng did not respond, and still said to herself, "I will exchange a drop of your blood for a piece of gold."
Niu Yuanping was surprised.
This is the first time he has seen ginseng that requires human blood!
Niu Yuanping was almost crying at this time.
"What the hell kind of place have you traveled through? I keep bumping into ghosts!"
But there's no point crying, I have to find a way to get through this!
After a moment's thought, he realized that he had heard many strange stories in his previous life.
There is a story about a yellow man asking for a title, which is quite similar to this one.
If you meet a Huangpizi asking for a title at night on a full moon night, and the Huangpizi asks you if he looks like a human or a god, and you say he looks like a human, his life's practice will be considered wasted, and he will only be able to stand and walk in the future. , if you say he is like a god, he will become an immortal immediately, and he will repay your favor in the future.
"Maybe this ginseng wants to borrow a drop of my blood to become an immortal or something, so just follow its wishes!"
Staring at the ginseng, Niu Yuanping said tremblingly, "Boy... I don't want gold, but if you need blood, I don't mind giving you a few drops for free. I just ask the elf to let me go after he gets the blood."
After saying that, he put the gold in his hand back to the ground, and then bravely approached the ginseng.
Regardless of whether it hurt or not, he opened his mouth and bit one of his thumbs, and dripped the blood in front of the ginseng.
The blood immediately seeped into the cracks in the stone and disappeared.
The next moment, Niu Yuanping was surprised to find that the ginseng was a whole circle bigger than before!
"It turns out that it is indeed growing by sucking human blood!"
At this time, the ginseng, which had absorbed a drop of blood, used its branches to hold up a golden object and handed it to Niu Yuanping.
Again.
"Exchange a drop of your blood for a piece of gold."
