Lingjian Ghost Story: Fenglu Hanzhang

"Deer Bone" ([-])

Changlin Village was originally a poor and remote mountain forest village, but for nearly a hundred years, the villagers made their fortunes by relying on the wild ginseng dug from Bailu Mountain. More than ten years ago, ginseng for a hundred years was not considered rare, but the villagers did not know it. The mountain was gradually hollowed out, and even decades-old ginseng was hard to find.

Mr. Li in the north of the village is a veteran who has dug ginseng for a hundred years. The young people in the village saw that finding ginseng has become more and more difficult these years, so they all switched to other jobs, but Mr. Li was not reconciled. It can be sold at a decent price, enough to support my family for half a year.

Coincidentally, my grandson Li Chengshu will be sixteen in two days. In Changlin Village, the sixteenth child will have a coming-of-age ceremony, and the coming-of-age ceremony means holding some ceremony, but Lao Li is not happy, Li The family can be regarded as a family of seeking ginseng, how could my little grandson not know how to find ginseng!Master Li thought that on the day his grandson turned 16, he would be brought into Bailu Mountain to practice and practice. Even if he couldn't find wild ginseng, it would be good for the child to learn a lot.

Li Chengshu is also a brave child. When he heard that he was going to enter the mountain, he didn't show any timidity, and was eager to try. Even though the Li family's daughter-in-law was worried about the child in every possible way, she couldn't help but let the stubborn father-in-law go, and let the child follow him. Before leaving I also prepared a lot of dry food and wound medicine, for fear that the child would bump into it.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was so worried, Lao Li secretly scolded her for being too timid, and said impatiently: "What are you doing if you have so much? Just bring some food, but the deer bone blade is the most important thing. It's gone." Deer bone blade, ginseng will scare away!"

Hearing this, Li Chengshu found it interesting, and asked with great interest: "What does this mean? Can ginseng grow legs and run away? What is a deer bone blade? What does it have to do with Bailu Mountain?"

Seeing his grandson's curiosity, Lao Li was overjoyed, and felt that this child was a candidate for a ginseng hunter, so he proudly told him about his ancestor's search for ginseng: "Hey, how about you?" Good question! The origin of the name Bailu Mountain is really because there is a white deer in the mountain. It is said that it is a demigod body and will not grow old. And this ginseng is originally a spirit in the mountain, although the body is Plants and trees, but with spiritual energy, can transform into human form..."

A hundred years ago, in Bailu Mountain:

"Oh, brother Yunqi, you're here to look for our patriarch again!" The pretty ginseng girl smiled sweetly at Lu Yunqi, but Bai Yunqi replied casually: "I miss your patriarch, come and see him, Can't you?" The girl was happy again, pointing to the depths of the forest and said: "Go, the patriarch is waiting for you."

While the two were having an informal conversation, the righteous master walked out of the forest without looking at him. Lan Qing, the patriarch of the Shenling clan, felt helpless for this cheeky demigod White Deer.He silently glanced at Lu Yunqi, sighed softly, and then replied with a serious expression: "Yunqi, stop joking, come and do me a favor." After saying that, he turned back and walked into the woods.

Lu Yunqi immediately followed with a smile, he tried to put Lan Qing's shoulders, but was patted by Lan Qing: "Don't make trouble, what do you look like!" Lu Yunqi put down his arms peacefully, and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't touch That’s it for you, anyway, there will be a long time to come.”

Lan Qing heard his tone, it was more like teasing than comforting, she couldn't help being a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but blamed and said: "You, why are you so dishonest!" Lu Yun laughed without saying a word, just looked deeply at him. Looking at Lan Qing, on the contrary, it was Lan Qing who was so stared at that his ears turned red, and he hurriedly turned his gaze back.

The two walked to the depths of the dense forest, and the surroundings were so quiet that even birds and beasts were hard to find.Lu Yunqi and Lan Qing have been to this place countless times, there used to be a clear and sweet spring named Qingshanlu, the water source came from the Yaochi of Tiangong, it was a reward from the Emperor of Heaven.The body of the ginseng spirit can greatly replenish vitality and prolong life, and the ginseng beard alone can save people from dying. Since ancient times, they have the merit of helping the world and saving people. Although they are spirits and monsters, they enjoy the favor of fairy spirits.

But in recent years, the water in the spring has become less and less, and even Lan Qing doesn't know the reason. He asked Lu Yunqi to come here to discuss this matter: "Our Shenling clan relies on this clear mountain dew to continue their spiritual power, but the water source is getting worse. Exhausted, if we can't find the nectar to replace this spring, I'm afraid... our family will be in danger."

Hearing this, Lu Yunqi rarely showed a serious expression. He was silent for a moment, and said firmly to Lan Qing: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a new spring for you."

Lan Qing looked at his calm and firm gaze, and she let go of her heavy heart just now, and gradually felt a bit of tenderness and gratitude: "For thousands of years, it is fortunate that you have protected my family well, but I have wronged you. As a demigod, but Trapped in this little mountain."

Lu Yunqi looked at Lan Qing's clear eyes that seemed to have starlight, and couldn't help stretching out his slender fingers to caress the corners of his eyes: "What a grievance, I am not wronged at all to be by your side."
