After returning to Peony Town to bid farewell to Mo Wenjun, the group added two more members.The siblings were already traveling together, and had just returned from a visit to Yinglong Lake, and hadn't decided on their next itinerary yet.In the end, Liuxiang heard that Youhuang was going to the Peach and Plum Blossom Forest, so she insisted on following, and said that she asked someone to tell a fortune before, and this year she committed a crime against Peach Blossom, but this Peach Blossom contained evil spirits, so that she killed The star offender, who is ordered to bring a ghost, needs the help of a noble person to escape the catastrophe.

"Little uncle, look, if it wasn't for you, Poison Jiu and I would have been almost killed by that Ying Chen, so you are my noble person. I will go wherever you go within this year, don't try to get rid of me." Me." Liuxiang swore seriously.

You Huang was stunned for a moment and said: "...The master brought ghosts? Aren't you a ghost in the first place? Do you still need to bring them? What kind of messy hexagrams are these, I'm afraid they were deceived by the fortune teller."

Liu Xiang stomped her feet and sighed, "Oh my little uncle, this ghost is not that ghost, and the hexagram is not wrong, so don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. I'm still waiting for peach blossom~"

You Huang grunted and sneered twice, and said: "Those fortune tellers all made their words ambiguous. This explanation is correct, and then the explanation is also correct. It's so ridiculous that only you women will believe—"

Before Liu Xiang could answer, a voice suddenly came in and said, "If you don't believe it, you don't believe it. What do you mean 'us women'? What do women do?" It was Yu Xin who widened her red eyes and stared angrily. he.

"Hey——" You Huang was tongue-tied, he didn't mean to say this, but he didn't know that he involved others for no reason, "I don't mean anything else! You, you, you, you, don't be angry... Women are very good, too! "

Yu Xin snorted, stepped forward and put her arms around Liu Xiang's shoulders, and said proudly: "I like this girl, if she wants to follow, I will follow. Big sister, I agree!"

"Hey... big sister?!"

"have opinions?!"

"...No..." You Huang knew that Yu Xin was taking revenge on him, why did he insist on calling himself a big brother in the dungeon of Yeming City.Feeling helpless for a moment, he glanced at Di Rong, only to see that tall demon general glanced to the side, pretending that he didn't see it, and turned his eyes to the chief for help.

Chief had a look on his face, and said slowly: "Look at what I am doing? Yuxin is the head of the three devils in the North Sea and the South. She will do whatever she says, and I dare not object." After finishing speaking, he confronted Yuxin. The understanding eyes of each other.

"That's right, little uncle won't take me to play, be careful I'll go back and tell Master that you despise me!" Liu Xiang judged the situation and judged that Yu Xin was the one who was really in charge of the house, and immediately hugged her arm back and held her head up. He looked at You Huang with his chest up.

"How can I despise you!"

"You have it, you have it! Otherwise, let me follow!"

"..."

Youhuang admit defeat.

***

Originally, few of them liked to talk much, so they were quiet along the way.Now there are two more living treasures for no reason. From Peony Town to Mudu Town to Peach and Plum Blossom Forest, it seems a lot more lively.Yuxin and Liuxiang's only daughter are tightly tied together, and they work together to quarrel with Youhuang.Di Rong was naturally helping his younger sister, and Poison Jiu was naturally helping his older sister. Even the chief who was the only one who could form an alliance with Youhuang would beat him up from time to time in order to see him make a fool of himself.

You Huang didn't mind, every time he was refuted to the point where he couldn't answer, he just laughed and fooled it.

At this moment, it is March in Yangchun, and everything grows.Standing under the gable of Wansong Academy, they were still far away from the peach and plum blossom forest, and they could smell the sweet fragrance coming with the wind.When you get closer, you can see red, red, white and white on the opposite hillside, layer upon layer, full of bright and blooming peach blossoms.When the wind blows, the petals fall down, colorful and luxuriant like a burst of red rain, falling into the gurgling stream in the forest, flowing down the river, it is really beautiful.

Seeing this scene, Di Rong, who loves flowers, was the happiest, shuttled back and forth in a peach blossom forest, admiring, Liu Xiang and Yu Xin followed behind, also looking around dizzyingly.The chiefs have seen a lot for thousands of years, and they are not as excited as they are, but the beautiful scenery is rare, and they are quite dazzled for a while.But looking back, I saw You Huang standing far behind, her black clothes covered with pink peach petals, only smiling at them, not moved by the beautiful scenery in front of her.

The chieftain walked back, brushed off the petals for him, and listened to You Huang: "The peach blossoms are shining brightly. The son returns home, and his family is suitable for him—my hometown, isn't it beautiful?"

The chief praised it sincerely: "It's beautiful. There are mountains and rivers and people on the one side. Only such a place can give birth to a character like you."

You Huang was taken aback for a long time, this was the first time he had heard such almost praise words from the chieftain.And the red eyes of the other party looked at him seriously, and suddenly said after a while: "...Why don't you stay at home and go to Shuzhou?"

You were born in the hometown of Taoyuan in the south of the Yangtze River, a fertile land. If you stay in your hometown, you will always be just a simple scholar with a pure heart.Why do you have to travel long distances, cross the difficult Shu Road, and go to the city in the middle of Sichuan, surrounded by mountains and ravaged by thieves, without returning?

The chief was silent for a while, You Huang lowered his eyelashes, blocking the sight of the two, his face remained motionless, but his body became slightly stiff.Under the peach blossom tree, only the sound of petals falling with the wind is left.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Chief Hu felt a little regretful, and said, "Sorry, I was the one to be abrupt."

You Huang shook his head, stepped forward to hold his hand, and walked towards Di Rong and the others who had already run away, while answering softly: "...the heart demon, I can't stand it in the end. —— not far ahead, it is my home house, I'll take you to have a look."

Deep in the peach blossoms, beside the stream, is a quiet small village.There are not many people, but the children in the village play around the house together, accompanied by the sound of dogs barking and chickens crowing, there is also a sense of vitality.Youhuang's house is at the east end of the village, hundreds of steps away from the houses of other villagers, and it feels somewhat isolated from the world.A small brick house with white walls and gray tiles, surrounded by a small fenced courtyard, with a large rusty copper lock hanging on the door.

You Huang took out the key and inserted it into the lock, but it had been rusted for too long, and he couldn't turn it no matter what, Dang even impatiently broke it open with a click.The door creaked and pushed open, and there were all the tables, chairs and household items in the house, but it was all covered with a thick layer of dust, which flew up in the sun, so frightened that You Huang quickly took two steps back, trying to cough, but found that he was not breathing , No matter what, I couldn't choke in the dust, I opened my mouth halfway and had to close it.

The chief thought it was funny, pulled him out of the house, and asked, "This is uninhabitable. Should we use spells, or clean it honestly?"

Yu Xin and Liu Xiang looked at each other and understood each other, Yu Xin said: "It's so boring to use spells. Anyway, there are so many of us, it's not fun to do activities together."

When she opened her mouth, no one had any objections.Several people immediately started to clean the tables and chairs, those who pasted the window papers, and those who repaired the fences repaired the fences.Chief just watched at first, but couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves later, even sweeping the floor in a very elegant posture.It's just that Di Rong underestimated his weight too much when patching the roof. He stepped on the roof tiles and fell down. There was a big hole in the ceiling, and he could see the white clouds in the blue sky when he looked up.Their side was bustling with enthusiasm, and soon attracted a large group of onlookers from the villagers.The small village is almost isolated from the outside world, and there are very few visitors from other places, let alone the six people who are handsome in appearance and gorgeous in clothes.The more enthusiastic villagers also joined the ranks to help, and the process immediately accelerated a lot. In the evening, everything was tidied up, and girls and sisters-in-law from neighboring houses brought them steaming meals.

Di Rong held a meat bun from a girl next door in his mouth, and he ate it full of praise. He also said that the villagers were simple and enthusiastic, and he almost loved this place to death.You Huang was very pleased with what he heard, and laughed while drinking tea, joking with everyone from time to time.Chief was not very used to this kind of lively and joyous atmosphere, so he couldn't help but go out to get some air after staying in the house for a short while.Then the door panel moved, but Liuxiang also came out with the corner of her skirt, saw the chief, walked straight over, and watched with him the peach blossoms that entered over the wall on the side of the house.

Chief suddenly said: "...Don't worry?"

Liu Xiang was startled, then smiled relievedly and nodded: "Don't worry."

Chief said: "Don't you think we will eat your little uncle?"

Liu Xiang said: "I'm joking. To be honest, I was really worried at first when I saw my little uncle walking with you and returning to the Peach and Plum Blossom Forest."

Chief Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with Peach and Plum Blossom Forest?"

Liuxiang said: "Every year during the Qingming Festival, the little uncle will come here to visit the grave. After returning to Shuzhou City, he will be in a particularly low mood. But this time I saw you walking with him—of course, I didn't mean to offend— —But you are all monsters of unknown origin, I really felt very inappropriate at first."

Chief's expression remained unchanged, but he seemed to understand it very well, and said, "It's human nature."

Liu Xiang said: "Little Master Uncle suffered a lot during his lifetime, I only hope that after he turns into ghost ink, he will not be like before, encountering inhuman beings."

Chief immediately noticed, grabbed the conversation head and said, "Did he...?"

Liu Xiang said: "The detailed situation and various reasons are probably only known to the head of Sikong and himself. But I only remember that the head of Sikong once said that although he was the leader of a faction, he did not die in Ningmochi At that time, he was thrown into the pool by the bandits in Shuzhou, and when he was dying, he saw only a ghost standing under the pool water, covered in blood and ink, haunted by evil spirits, very dangerous."

The chief said: "...the ghost is You Huang?"

Liu Xiang nodded: "Yes, now we call that form the Mo Yao. Where does the evil spirit from the Mo Yao come from? I still don't know. In the Ink Condensation Pond, Sect Master Sikong was full of resentment and suffered from evil spirits. At the same time, the little uncle regained his sanity and turned back into a human body. Afterwards, the ghost ink was born, and all the disciples jumped out of the pool, and together they killed the bandits and wiped out the whole city."

Hearing what she said, Chief frowned slightly, thinking carefully about the key points.At this moment, there was a sound outside the fence of the small courtyard, and the old woman under the moon walked slowly past with half a bundle of firewood on her back.Turning around, he saw that there were people in the courtyard, and there were lights in the house, he immediately showed a surprised expression, and looked them up and down.

Liu Xiang couldn't help asking: "Grandma, what's wrong?"

The old woman saw that both of them were good-looking, not like evil people, so she approached a little closer and said: "It's nothing, but today I heard that there are newcomers living in the village, unexpectedly it's this room."

The chief's heart moved, and he said, "Is there anything wrong?"

The old woman said: "It's because the former owner of this house is not very lucky..."

"The former owner?"

Seeing that Liuxiang and the chief had questioning expressions on their faces, the old woman hesitated for a moment, and finally told her kindly, "More than 20 years ago, the owner of this house was a scholar. My son once studied in Wansong Academy with him. They have some contacts with each other. He is really a nice young man, gentle and polite, and I heard that he is also quite talented. It's just that he also has a seriously ill mother. In order to treat his mother's illness, the scholar copied scriptures for people every day , writing calligraphy and selling paintings, mother and son depended on each other, and lived a very poor life. Later, for some reason, the scholar suddenly left home one day, but he died outside without leaving any bones, but someone He sent back a few relics and set up a cloak mound outside the village. His mother was not in good health, so she was hit after encountering this incident. Not long after, she drowned herself in a nearby river. It took several days before she was discovered and salvaged. She was so rotten. It was the kindness of the villagers who pooled together money to buy a coffin before burying her hastily next to her son's grave. Speaking of which, this mother and son are really miserable."

Chieftain and Liuxiang looked at each other, but neither of them answered.The old woman continued: "If you want me to say, the former owners all died unexpectedly, this house is naturally tainted with yin, and I'm afraid it's not good for living people to live in it. Although I think you young people won't listen, but my old lady still I have to advise you, if you have another place to go, you should move out as soon as possible."

The chieftain naturally wouldn't listen, and his expression didn't look happy or angry. He just continued to ask politely: "Dare to ask the old man, where are the mother and son buried now?"

The old woman thought for a while, then pointed to a small road leading to the outside of the village: "It's not too far from here, follow this road, take the first fork to the left, and walk straight to it. The place is quite desolate, and there are several The poor or unknown dead bodies in this village are all buried there. It’s easy to recognize that the person who buried the scholar planted a few bamboos next to his grave, and if you see bamboos, that’s where the mother and son’s graves are.”
