Wear it to Liaozhai to give the boss a smooth hair

The weather was cloudy with continuous wind and snow, with dark clouds covering half of the sky.

A group of people surrounded the tombstone covered with thick snow with hoes, "Master, do you really want to dig?"

Li Huanian was over fifty, and his whole body was thin. He glanced at it, as if he couldn't bear to look any longer, so he spat cruelly, "Dig."

Beside him, there was a Taoist priest dressed in white with a fist, muttering words in his mouth, and flying his whisk. After a while, he seemed to see a red light in his palm, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The entourage took a pickaxe and a hoe and began to dig the new tomb that had just been established. The weather was extremely cold, and there were more tombs on the mountain than there were people. It was even more terrifying. Their breath turned to ice. The group drank a pot of wine and continued to dig, layer by layer. The permafrost was dug open until the green-brown coffin was exposed.

Li Hua was trembling even with the wrinkles on his face, "Push away and have a look."

The coffin was pushed away, first revealing the well-dressed and already stiff clothes, and then the blue-purple face with closed eyes and a piece of jade in its mouth.

He is not very old, seventeen or eighteen at most. Although he is not angry now, he can still think of how handsome he was when he was alive. His appearance reduces the horror of the corpse.

The man's feet were tied with hemp rope, which is called stumbling wire. A mirror was placed on his chest, and an almanac was placed under the mirror, obviously to prevent the corpse from changing.

There was a thunder in the air, and with a loud bang, the mountain top was illuminated with snow. The cold wind mixed with snow particles and burrowed into the collar of the man's clothes. "Master..." The attendant trembled, "Take it back?"

The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was getting dark early on the mountain. The Taoist priest nodded aside. They all knew that the mandrill on the mountain didn't wait for anyone. If they didn't make a decision and waited for them to come out, then everything would be over.

Li Hua glanced at the Taoist priest and made up his mind. The Taoist priest folded the spirit formula with his hands and rang the bell lightly in his hand. A group of people carried the coffin down the mountain, and the snow fell on their shoulders.

Flying all over the sky, like paper money floating away.

2020, New Year's Eve.

Tao Shanze walked to Times Square with his family cat on his back, looking forward to the moment when 2020 arrives. This year’s New Year’s Eve is different, not only a symmetrical year but also an integer year. As night falls, Times Square is already crowded with people.

It has been a month since he was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. During this month, he went to many hospitals. Facts have proved that people really have to take good care of their bodies. Now, he has no strength to recover, and it is still in the advanced stage. Common medicines can no longer treat him. , The operation is still life-threatening. The doctor's opinion is conservative treatment, that is, let him go home and raise him, quietly waiting for that moment to come.

Advanced gastric cancer implicated other functions of his body in decline. He could not sleep or eat for a long time. Every night, he held the dumpling and looked at the distant sky with pale belly. The only thing in this world that made him nostalgic was this cat.

If it goes too far, he wants to get someone's love.

However, it seems impossible now, there was no time when he was in good health, now that his body is dilapidated, who can still favor him?

It was less than 15 minutes before the bell struck the hour. Those who took photos took pictures, and those who sold balloons sold balloons. He was just about to go to see what the stall was, when he was stopped by a person, "Handsome guy, fill out a questionnaire."

He has always ignored it, turned his head and was about to wave his hands, but was stunned. This beautiful woman with thin waist, long legs, long black hair and straight black hair has a cold aura. She couldn't say anything about her refusal. He said in a mysterious way: " OK, what should I fill in?"

"It's about Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio, and there is a possibility that a book will be mailed to your home soon." The night was hazy, the crowd was crowded, the girl was so beautiful, her smile was bright, and she looked at him with affection, Tao Shanze couldn't help it I agreed, wrote Shanze in the name column, ticked the ticks, and wrote the district in the address column.

"Is the name wrong?" Xianxianyu pointed to the beginning of the questionnaire and blinked Kazilan's big eyes at him innocently.

"Sorry, my surname is Shan." The dumpling on the back began to scratch at him through the space capsule non-stop, and at the same time let out a sharp meow.He gently coaxed and shook his back, "Dad will be home in a while, don't worry."

"Then the address is wrong?" The girl continued to ask.

Tao Shanze didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, seeing that the balloons were about to be released by the lake in Times Square, he wanted to find a perfect location to take pictures so that he would not leave any regrets in his life, "I'm sorry, let's do this first."

"Okay, see you later." The beauty smiled at him, squinting into two curved crescents, her pupils seemed to merge into one, her voice was more whiny than a cat's meowing, and she said after he walked away, " Finally waiting for you."

Jingle Bell--

Tao Shanze stopped. He heard the sound of wind chimes, but was replaced by a bang. Tens of thousands of balloons in Times Square were lifted into the air, and the night was occupied by balloons. People shouted "1", "It's 2020! "

The crowd went wild, and the cat behind him kept scratching him.

Today's cats have been a little abnormal since they arrived in Times Square. He couldn't help thinking that the world cats see is different from that of humans. They can see many supernatural phenomena, but those all exist in novels, and the real world is repeated day after day.

He made a wish to the night sky that belongs to the new year—hope that the years will slow down, that he still has life to stay in the world, and if...he doesn't make it, let his cat find a good home.

The balloons flew and disappeared into the sky, and the crowd cheered and cheered, but all of this had nothing to do with him. He didn't know when he would be able to experience those laughter in this life.

Because of the New Year's Eve, the subway station was closed, and he walked home the way he came. For some reason, the questionnaire that the girl asked him to fill out began to appear in his heart. It is life, life and death are intertwined, there should be hell and heaven, the modern world is often explained by science, but at this moment, he would rather have a way to continue living, whether it is with the soul or the body|body.

He looked up to the sky and looked at the stars. Today's night sky was extraordinarily dense and deep. He stared at the moon. He felt that the shape of the moon was a bit like a pen. The lower part of the crescent moon was bulging, and then narrowed sharply. He rubbed his eyes and felt a strong feeling in his heart. Uneasy, he didn't read it wrong, but it was just a writing brush.

The pen began to slowly fall from the night sky, gradually fading away visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the Astronomical Observatory issued an announcement that a rare spectacle of four stars gathering appeared. Don't panic, everyone, it won't last too long.

But the next moment, the surrounding scenery began to rotate and overlap, and the previous wind chime sounded louder and louder, hanging over his head like a magic spell. The combination of the wind chime sound and the incomprehensible spell made his mind feel dizzy.

what--

Tao Shanze yelled and spewed out a mouthful of hot water. There was no Times Square in sight, but it was a man with white hair on his temples in ancient costume, behind him was a wooden window lattice Eight Immortals Table and Eight Immortals Chairs.

"Pearl, my Pearl..." Li Hualao burst into tears, and hugged Tao Shanze into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Tao Shanze asked in a hoarse voice following his instinct.

Behind him, the woman wearing Luo Cui's dress stepped forward and wiped her tears, "Zhu'er, I am your mother, this is your father."

Tao Shanze was unconscious, his limbs were weak, his whole body was in pain as if his blood had been drained, and he was covered in sweat, "Why are there so many people in the room?"

Li Hua was stunned, and looked at the woman with horror in his eyes.

Tao Shanze rubbed his forehead, his mind was in a mess, he got out of bed and said to the person standing: "What are you doing standing here?"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Huateng stood in front of him nervously, "My child, your mother and I are the only ones in this room."

Tao Shanze glanced at the man, the dim light was mottled, gradually turned into powder in the dust of the air, and disappeared, and he was surprised to feel that his body was not in pain as usual, and the pain of stomach cancer disappeared from his body strangely.

Is this... a new student?

After everyone left, he took out the hand that had been under the quilt all the time. He was holding a pen in his hand. The shape of the pen was angular, with holes in the end. The material is like husky fur, only the length of the index finger.

It was so weird, he remembered seeing a pen-shaped moon in the sky for the last time in the world, could it be that the moon fell into his hand?

Although he didn't know what the pen was for, he still carefully threaded a red string through the hole and hung it around his neck. The situation here is unknown, the dynasty and identity cannot be determined, so he can only take one step at a time.

Street corner tea shop.

"Hey, have you heard that the stupid son of Li Hua's family is back." The owner of the tea shop kowtowed melon seeds and said to the tea drinkers.

"Isn't he dead? I watched his funeral with my own eyes."

"You don't know this. A crippled Taoist priest came before and said that Li Zhu'er is not dead, and she will be resurrected within three days. He took advantage of the snowy day to go up the mountain to dig a grave, and pour hot water after he came back. No, Come back to life." The owner of the tea shop poured a cup of tea, and caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.

I saw a young man in white wandering the street. The snow on the ground had not been swept away at this time, and his complexion was a little more dazzling than that of the snow.

Tao Shanze met a lot of astonished looks along the way, and he accepted them all. Even he himself was shocked. If he remembered correctly, he was in Times Square one second ago, but why did he arrive at this ancient film and television city the next second? , but it looks very real, there is no sign of modernity here.

"Pearl, fool!"

As soon as Tao Shanze lowered his head, he saw a boy with long hair beating him with stones, laughing while beating him.

He knelt down and held the stone in his palm, "My little friend, don't throw stones around. It's bad if it hits someone."

The little boy grinned, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he began to cry loudly, and the people around him gathered around, "Li Zhuer, are you really not stupid?"

"It's really Li Zhu'er!" One of them boldly slapped his hand, and suddenly there was a fright, the crowd scattered, screaming one after another, as if seeing a ghost.

This Changzhou is a small town, and the street can be seen from the street. His appearance really attracted the attention of many people.

Through chatting with other people, he roughly knew what happened. A demon monk appeared in the town before, saying that Li Zhuer was going to die, and asked Li Hua to ask for 100 taels, but his father didn't agree with anything, so Li Zhu went home that night. The son died suddenly.

His father sued the demon monk to the government, and it turned out that the master Qingtian was also a man of cultivation, so he ordered the blind demon monk to subdue the spell on the spot and killed him with a stick.

Not only that, but another Taoist priest said that he could take out the corpse buried in the ground for seven days and bring it back to life by guiding spirits. By then, his son would not only not be stupid, but also have a bright future.

His father seemed to have got a life-saving straw. Regardless of the severe cold, he braved the wind and snow and went up the mountain to dig out his son's body. As expected, under the operation at that time, he was successfully resurrected.

Tao Shanze, a modern person's soul, parasitizes the ancient people intact, and has obtained a miraculous continuation of life.

But the problem now is that with his eyes, the world he sees is bigger than before, and he even sees the soul through a person's performance.

He remembered that in their countryside they called this kind of yin and yang eyes.

The sky was bright and clear, but it was snowing softly. The people on the street looked calm, and no one saw two of them. One was dressed in white and the other was dressed in black. The two were just like shopping in a market. If one ignores the prayer flags in his hand and his pale face, he would look like a normal person to anyone.

But the snow didn't stay on them, it seemed to become their background, passing them and falling to the ground.

Tao Shanze was taken aback, seeing them getting closer and closer, holding his breath, pretending not to see and looking at the shops on the street calmly, but their voices could be heard in his ears from time to time.

"It seems that there is a breath of soul, do you smell it?"

"Nonsense, if the soul has been hooked long ago, you can still swagger in the market in Yangjian."

"That's what I said, but the smell of this soul is getting stronger..."

The wind and snow gradually became denser, and pedestrians hurried on their way. In a blink of an eye, the crowded street was empty. Tao Shanze's legs seemed to be petrified, and the part of his chest near his heart seemed to be pulled. Big, he clutched his chest in pain, but he didn't know how to relieve it.

And they were gradually approaching Tao Shanze, and Tao Shanze's heart was beating in his throat. If he remembered correctly, they were the legendary black and white impermanence, who specialize in seducing people's souls. It stands to reason that the soul of a modern person should not be afraid of these imaginary things. But now, he would rather believe it than nothing. The face of Black and White Impermanence became extremely pale under the cover of flying snow. Although his appearance should not be underestimated, it was also very terrifying.

"It's you!" Hei Wuchang's eyes lit up, and the white prayer flag behind him turned into Chang Chang's long arms and stretched straight towards Tao Shanze.

Fear, panic, but unable to move.

Unexpectedly, the prayer flags in the air fell away and pointed straight behind him. Behind the stall where Tao Shanze was leaning on, there was a person lying down and sleeping like a beggar. Nearly, a soul was drawn out of his body.

Sharp claws grew out of the prayer flags, and they actually cut the soul open, and then entered the prayer flags.

Heiwuchang sniffed the smell in the prayer flags, shook his head, "It's still not right, it's not the smell."

Bai Wuchang sneered, "Since you lost your sense of smell, you have swept away many flies."

Hei Wuchang spat, gathered his energy again, and opened his pupils. This time, he looked directly at Tao Shanze.

He suddenly stood in front of Tao Shanze and pulled his collar under his nostrils, "I said, it's not the smell of a living soul, it's an earth soul. This body has changed hands. How can you occupy it with your own soul? Quickly follow I'm going to the underworld."

In close contact, Tao Shanze's first reaction was to exclaim, and at the same time, he clenched his fists in case of emergency, but this world was beyond his imagination. An invisible force rose along his Baihui acupoint, gradually It made him suffocate, he saw the pupils covering him, and his pupils were slightly cold, and the chill was sudden.

When he woke up again, he was surrounded by prisons. He seemed to have crushed stones all over his body. He reached out to touch the fence, but the moment he touched it, the fence twisted into a ball of fire, igniting his arm.

"Ah!" Tao Shanze yelled, it was a piercing pain, he felt that his life was not long.

"What is the ghost's name..." A lazy voice sounded from behind him, "Don't scare yourself if you have nothing to do."

When Tao Shanze came back, he found that there were other people in the prison, but this person had loose hair and was dressed in white clothes, resembling Sadako, sitting cross-legged on the couch, looking up, unable to see clearly.

"If you want to go back, just stay honest," the man yawned, and said by the way, "I've been hungry for days, if you're not honest, I'll eat you."

The man tucked his hair back up, and suddenly appeared in front of his face, buried his head on his neck and took a breath, "Your smell is a bit strange, such a fresh and tender soul is really rare, I really want to swallow you in one bite." Then, he licked his canines, seeming very interested in eating him.

Tao Shanze couldn't back up, but couldn't control him from grabbing his hand, his two scorching eyes fell into his pupils, "If you want to go back, be honest and don't move."

Tao Shanze nodded tremblingly, a sly light flashed in his eyes, "Then can you not eat me?"

The man was about to laugh, but a heavy punch came at him. Fortunately, he dodged in time, so that the punch was biased, but he couldn't help but the tip of his nose turned red and blood flowed out from his nose.

But the hitter still felt that it was not enough at this time, even though his legs couldn't use his strength, he clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he stared at him viciously, "You can touch me as you please!"

The man sneered, he rolled up the straw mat under him, and slammed him onto the fire pole of the prison, the flames shot up, and the greedy tongue of fire poked out the letter and burned Tao Shanze's hair.

Enduring the pain, Tao Shanze put his elbows on the ground, gritted his silver teeth, and slammed his head at him, taking the opportunity to grab his throat, "I..."

But before he finished speaking, Tao Shanze's mouth was soaked by a thick seawater, more and more seawater around him densely packed his five senses, he gradually suffocated, he didn't know what time it was.

"Are you awake? You're scared to death."

Tao Shanze opened his eyes, his body's sense of control increased, and all he saw were scenes in the world, "Am I back?"

In his memory, the prison was flooded with seawater on all sides, and the fences formed a barrier. As the seawater rose, he gradually suffocated.

"Son, what nonsense are you talking about? I thought about it. It's not okay if you don't have anyone around you to serve you. You don't feel at ease when you go out alone as a mother. I'll buy a maid for you to order."

As she said that, she saw a beautiful young girl bowing down, calling out for the young master.

"Ah!" Tao Shanze yelled again, he saw two souls in the woman's body, one was silent, and the other was talking to him instead of the woman's face.

Not to mention the silent one, but the face talking to him has the same aura as the person in the prison, and he slightly raised his eyes and looked at him jokingly. The two had just fought in the underworld, and he still remembered that his back was shot. The feeling of being engulfed by the fire, seeing him now, his back began to ache again, his hands were itchy, and he wanted to beat up this frivolous guy who had only met once.

However, this person wearing a woman's shell did not feel disobedient at all. He stepped forward to salute enthusiastically, and then leaned forward to his forehead and said to his mother very solemnly: "Madam, if you have me to take care of you, young master, I will take care of you." Do not worry."

Li's mother held her hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, they didn't know what they said in her ear, the woman's ears turned red, and she saluted Li's mother again.

After Li's mother left, Tao Shanze's muscles tensed up, and he stared at him warily, his fists clenched, his toes stretched out, and he carefully observed the surrounding situation, ready to escape at any time.

"Who are you?"
