The cold wind blew and the night was deep. Two lights flashed in the deep night. One of them naturally came from the Canghai Sword Pavilion, and the other came from an unknown ancient house.
But tonight there are two more people in the ancient house. Shuihan and Richu are sitting on the floor. They have been sitting for almost three sticks of incense. Since entering this house, they no longer have any doubts. Here. , it is indeed haunted, and these ghosts are surrounding them at the moment.
These goblins and ghosts are of all kinds, you can name them all, low-level ones such as the enemies Honghong and Huohuo, as well as brooms, dustpans, tables, chairs, benches, candles, bowls and chopsticks, and even Richu and Shui Hanbutt. The mat underneath.
It can be said that all the daily objects here have eyes and mouths and can speak human language, but most of them are not very fluent, or their voices are very strange.
The more advanced ones are animals, such as kittens and puppies. Each of them has a sharp mind and is proficient in human language. Shui Han feels very uncomfortable when he hears animals talking like ordinary people. Xiaoli likes it very much. It doesn’t know when it has already He jumped out of Shui Han's clothes and kept running towards the animals.
The most advanced ones have almost or completely transformed into human form. There are not many of them. Shui Han and Richu have only seen three of them so far.
One is Grandpa Zhai, who looks like a kind old grandpa. His true form is the whole house. He has profound spiritual knowledge and can transform his charm into human form and return it to the house.
The other one is He Bo. Although his title is very sophisticated, He Bo looks like a little chubby boy.
There was also Ksitigarbha, a cold little girl with a gloomy face, surrounded by eight small paper figures of different colors. Those little paper figures were floating in the air, as if they were being pulled by some force. It looks very strange from a distance.
This guy had been staying motionless in the corner from the beginning, and there was almost no movement at all. If the eight little paper figures weren't so eye-catching, Shui Han probably wouldn't have noticed her.
To explain, it is actually not accurate to use the word goblins and ghosts to describe them, because demons and ghosts are two different races. The world is vast and there are three realms and six races. The three realms are heaven above, humans in the middle, and demons below.
It is divided into six races, gods, humans, demons and demons. The six races live in three realms in pairs and do not interfere with each other. This balanced order has been formed in ancient times, and the two main races that inhabit the human world are humans and demons.
According to the above theory, Shui Han was born as a human being, which is actually not unfamiliar. Some ancient books from a long time ago basically wrote this. It is said that in the earliest continents, humans and monsters lived together, but I don’t know when, the monster race Then they almost disappeared from the human world, and the human race began to take charge of all land and seas.
As for the sudden decrease in the number of monsters, no records can be found almost anywhere. In other words, the history of this matter is blank.
Therefore, Shui Han has never seen any monsters since he was a child. He always thought that what he saw in the ancient books hidden by Fatty Wen were just stories compiled by predecessors. But now that he saw so many at once, his In addition to being surprised, a kind of affection suddenly emerged in my heart. After all, I had read all kinds of strange novels, and I was no longer unfamiliar with monsters.
"So you are all the companion spirit beasts of Ghost Gu?"
Richu asked. She had been holding back her words for half a stick of incense. Before, it was Grandpa Zhai who was talking. She and Shui Han listened, thinking they could quickly understand the whole story, but Grandpa Zhai spoke. The speed was really slow and he couldn't always grasp the key points. Richu finally couldn't help it and asked anyway.
Grandpa Zhai’s voice was old and hoarse, and he had completely lost the momentum he had when he just transformed into a house. He said slowly:
"This statement is not correct, but you can also understand it this way. We are goblins from all over the world. We have done a lot of stupid things in the past. Later, we were subdued one by one by the former master Nian Daozhang who was the "demon exterminator" of the Taoist sect. .
You also know that the most important thing for us fairies is the name that carries the memory of before we were cultivated.
Nian Daodao did not kill us, but took away our names and sealed them on the Taoist secret treasure "Sanqingshu" to prevent us from harming the world again. At that time, he held the "Sanqingshu" Miss Nian then became our first master. "
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been three religions and nine streams in the world. The three religions are Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Today, Confucianism is prevalent in the world, while Taoism has always been low-key and does not care about the affairs of the court.
Some of the Taoist priests of the Taoist sect live in seclusion in Taoist temples in the mountains and forests, practicing hard to become immortals, while others travel among the people, exorcise demons and demons for the common people, and promote Taoism.
Since they often stay in the homes of villagers during their travels, this kind of Taoist priests are called "scattered guests" in the world, and among the countless "scattered guests", only the most beautiful ones can obtain the title of "exorcist layman" title.
The previous generation of "monster-removing lay practitioner" was exactly what Grandpa Zhai called Nian Dao Chang, whose nickname was "Xi Ying". She was also the only female "monster-removing lay practitioner" in the Taoist sect in the past hundred years.
Richu obviously heard the clues from Grandpa Zhai's words, she said:
"So Ghost Gu is now the second master?"
Grandpa Zhai nodded.
"Since the Three Purity Books are now in the hands of Gui Gu, then could this Nian Dao Chang be..."
A trace of deep melancholy suddenly flashed across Grandpa Zhai's face, and then disappeared. He said:
"You don't have to guess, the previous owner is the young master's biological mother."
The answer was the same as Richu had guessed, but he was curious about what kind of person Nian Xiying, the Taoist "monster slayer" who was also Ghost Gu's mother, was.
But it is obviously inappropriate to raise these curiosities now.
"You appear here, naturally you have been summoned by the ghost Gu, but we just met him, and now he seems to be a completely different person. Do you know what is going on?"
After hearing this, Grandpa Zhai couldn't help but sigh and said:
"We are already aware of this matter. I think it is probably because of the awakening of the original soul in the young master."
"This living creature?"
This time it was Shui Han who spoke. He was full of doubts and said:
"I remember that the original creatures of ghost Gu are not those black butterflies? They seem to be quite well-behaved."
"No."
The word "不" sounded childish and familiar, and the voice came from outside the door.
"The black butterfly is not my brother's original soul. My brother's original soul is a monster that can control people's minds."
In a blink of an eye, Xiao Wu was standing by the door. She was dressed in plain clothes, her beige hair was neatly combed, and her straight bangs lay across her forehead. Her face was delicate and childish, slightly pale. Judging from her complexion, she had obviously recovered a lot. Less, but he still couldn't help but gasp slightly when he spoke.
"Miss, please don't go out and walk around until your body recovers."
Grandpa Zhai looked at Xiao Wu outside the door, his face full of distress.
"It's okay, Grandpa Zhai. My situation is much better than that of my brother."
With that said, he walked towards the house.
"Crutches, why don't you go help the lady, quilt, put it on the lady quickly, chair, sit down on the lady quickly, mat, don't be in a daze, put it on quickly, it's red and hot, make the fire brighter, and there is a kettle, Hurry up and boil a pot of hot water to warm the lady up..."
Grandpa Zhai, who usually spoke slowly, was surprisingly quick to issue orders. Shui Han looked at Xiao Wu who was wrapped up tightly in an instant, and suddenly felt some envy.
Xiao Wu is really happy.
It's cold and windy outside, but it's very warm inside the house.
Xiao Wu was holding a cup of hot water in her hand. Steam was constantly coming out of the cup. She looked at the cup and said:
"I don't know exactly what my brother's spiritual beast is, but once it awakens, it will control my brother's body. Originally, my brother brought me here to find the Songzhuding Cauldron to extend my life, but now I encountered Such a thing happened..."
Xiao Wu said, her voice gradually trembling.
"I will definitely get him back!"
Shui Han didn't know when he was standing beside Xiao Wu. When he said these words, his voice was firm and his eyes were firm.
"And we still have to find the Pine Tripod."
Richu also stood up to cheer everyone up. She looked at Xiao Wu, her eyes suddenly turned slightly, and she seemed to have thought of some key issue, and said:
"I heard that the Pine Tripod is a legacy of the ancient God King Shennong. You, the Ghost Clan, have also been lost for many years. It is said that the Pine Tripod is still living in the Southern Barbarians. But now many people have gathered in the Jiange, and the ghost Gu has also stayed. In this ghostly dead sea, could it be that this Pine Cauldron is actually not in the Southern Barbarians but here?"
This question was asked to Tang Yan at the beginning of the day, but at that time he was just talking about himself and led the topic to Jiange and Mrs. Shenji. Now, since the small object was here, she had to ask clearly. .
Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly became solemn and said:
"Yes, the Pine Cauldron is in this ghostly Dead Sea."
This answer was obviously expected by Richu, but she still didn't understand.
"Then how do you know? Even if someone releases the news, and the rumors about the Pine Tripod in the world are true or false, how can you be sure whether the news is true or false?"
"It's not like someone released the news. I think most of the people in Jiange are just waiting to see the Divine Machine List. Not many people know about this matter."
Xiao Wu took a sip of hot water, calmed down and continued:
"Jin Chan told me this."
"Golden toad?"
Shuihan and Richu were both surprised when they heard the name Jinchan.
Countless memories emerged like a flood, and everything seemed to be vividly visible.
