North, Changling Kingdom.

This country in the north is mostly covered with snow all year round, the weather is very cold, the wind is harsh, and the fluttering snowflakes are falling one after another. When you look up, the land is covered with silver and there are few people.

Qiu Ming stepped on the white snow, as if walking on a cold white carpet, the snow under his feet made a "creaking" sound.

He could not help but stop for a while against the heavy goose feather snow all over the sky, looking at the ice and snow world in front of him, his expression suddenly became a little dazed.

When he was in Xuanxu country before, his father told him that there was the last piece of soul here, and sent him to search for it, but when he really came to the northern country, he was in a difficult situation for a while, and felt that he had no way to start.

Although the Northern Kingdom is desolate and cold and sparsely populated, its territory is vast enough. Where can I find it?

Just when he had no idea, a small tavern suddenly appeared beside this white road.

The tavern was small and dilapidated, lying quietly on the left side of the snowy road. The low eaves were pressed by the heavy snow, which almost blended with the white snow scene next to it, if it wasn't exposed from the gaps in the house. With the steaming heat and the noisy people in the house, almost no one will find that there is a tavern standing here.

Qiu Ming hesitated for a moment, but walked into the tavern slowly.

……

Different from the cold and quiet outside world, this narrow and dilapidated tavern is full of people's voices. When passers-by pass by, they can't bear the severe cold outside and can't help but walk in for a glass of wine. Roasting the fire, absorbing a little rare warmth for the frozen body.

There are more pedestrians who come to drink, and the tavern is lively. No matter how you can't help but get acquainted, three or five people sit at a table, and the five big and three thick guys are flushed from drinking, bragging about the strange deeds of going south and north, talking loudly. There were laughers, there were those who scolded and complained, and all the three religions and nine classes were crowded in a narrow hut, which was extremely lively.

"Hey, have you heard?" On the wine table, a skinny man with an unshaven beard and mouth full of alcohol said at the wine table, "I heard that something happened to the ancestral treasure jade of the Li family."

Another drinking buddy at the same table got drunk, smiled drunkenly, and said, "Which Li family?"

Poppi said: "In our Changling country, which Li family can we have? Isn't it the Li family in the border area? It is the uncle of the head of the Li family who is an official in the court, and he is clean and honest. Home!"

The drinking buddy at the same table blushed, and said in a low voice, "Oh, that Li family... Didn't you say that the Li family has been targeted by Prime Minister Zuo recently, and has been looking for faults?"

Rompy clicked his tongue: "That's right! The Li family is also unlucky. Not only was it punished in the officialdom, but I heard that bandit riots broke out in the border area recently. As a big local family, the Li family was also targeted by bandits. Come on, go to their house every three days to fight the autumn wind, and once in the dark, the bandit leader led people around Li's house, and almost put the Li family in a pot."

"Think about it! That's an important place on the frontier, and a bunch of bandits suddenly appeared, and the bandits didn't want to disturb others, they just watched the Li family besieged and killed, and the whole Li family was about to be surrounded by bandits." It was served, but the guards over there just pretended not to see it, and ignored it at all, let alone cleared the siege, in my opinion..."

Poppy giggled and said, "It's not so much a bandit, it's actually a knife that Prime Minister Zuo wanted to destroy the Li family!"

The drinking buddy at the same table shook his head, and said disdainfully: "So what, the big family they are officials is not unlucky, what does it have to do with us ordinary people, you are talking about the ancestral gem of the Li family... a gem What can happen?"

"Hey! Look at my brain, I'm going off track when I'm talking."

That poppi slapped his head, and continued: "I just heard... I heard that Baoyu from the Li family..."

He approached his drinking buddy at the same table, and said with a mysterious face: "I heard that Baoyu has become a spirit!"

"Hey!" The drinking buddy at the same table sneered, and said loudly, "I thought you were finally going to say something reliable, but I didn't expect you to say all kinds of weird things."

"That's right, that's right! Hearing about those gods and gods every day, I really thought it was true! Become a spirit? We have a millstone for eating at home for some years, why haven't we seen it become a spirit?"

"Hey, don't you believe it!" Poppi was suspicious by himself, and his dark and thin face flushed, and he shouted: "I heard that the ancestors of the Li family got a shiny and clear jade from somewhere. The fragments were kept after looking good, but I didn't expect to keep them for hundreds of years, and they became the family heirloom of the Li family."

"There are so many aristocratic families in this world, and there are so many heirlooms, what's so special about a piece of jade?" The drinking companion at the same table wondered.

Poppi was triumphant, and continued to brag about what he had heard from other places: "A piece of jade is not unusual, but I heard from people on the border that the piece of jade——it has become a spirit! It has become a human!"

"It is said that when the Li family was worshiping their ancestors not long ago, the ancestor tablet was placed on the table, and the broken jade piece was among them. But halfway through the ancestor worship, the shining broken jade piece was unknown After a long period of practice, I gained spiritual wisdom, and I still received the incense offered by the Li family. Suddenly, I saw a flash of inspiration in the fragment of jade, and under the eyes of everyone in the Li family... just transformed into a human form!"

Just as he was talking about this crucial point, Poppi suddenly stopped talking, and he spread his hands, proudly looking at his drinking buddy who was attracted by his story.

In fact, it’s not just the drinking buddies at the same table. When this poppi talked, he danced and spoke vividly. For a while, many people sitting next to him were also attracted by his story. Someone beckoned him for a glass of wine, and shouted: "Don't be impatient, just keep talking, what happened to the jade piece after it became a human?"

After getting the free wine invited by others, Poppi took a sip happily, his face flushed with pride, and then he continued: "I also heard people say that after the broken jade piece turned into a human form, it didn't cry or cry. Laughing, not making noise, falling asleep with eyes closed all the time, has the shape of a human, but has no soul, and can't wake up no matter what."

"When the family was worshiping the ancestors, something strange happened suddenly. At that time, the Patriarch of the Li family thought that there was a monster in the house. He was afraid and yelled that he wanted to burn the jade piece that turned into a human form."

Hearing this, everyone who was watching sighed: "Then the head of the Li family is not good at handling things. After all, it is the precious jade left by the ancestors. Even if it becomes a ghost, it does not harm your Li family. How can you burn it as soon as you say it?" gone."

"But! So at that time, someone in the clan stopped the Patriarch."

Poppi said it was hot, wiped the sweat off his head, took off his clothes, and continued to tell a story: "At that time, Li Ce, the eldest son of the Li family, was a sensible scholar, and he was also the distant nephew of the head of the Li family. At that time, it was prevented from being burned, saying that the ancestor's object turned into a human form, which was obviously the ancestor's manifestation to protect the Li family, so it must not be burned, otherwise the ancestor will blame it in the future."

"The Patriarch of the Li family held his nose to admit it after hearing this, but he was still afraid of evil spirits in his heart, and he didn't dare to see the jade piece turned into a human being, so the Dalang of the Li family volunteered to take care of him all the time. Looking at the human figure who has been sleeping for a long time."

Hearing this, someone couldn't help but ask again: "Wait, the human form transformed from the broken jade pieces, won't just sleep like this forever! He always falls asleep like this, so why is he still cultivating as an adult?"

"Of course I didn't fall asleep all the time, didn't I just wake up later!" Poppi was not happy that someone interrupted him, waved his arms angrily, and continued: "You always know what happened to the Li family some time ago, right? They asked each other for trouble, and then they were surrounded by border bandits, and the whole family was almost wiped out."

"Later, bandits who were killing people without batting an eyelid were about to attack, and Li's house was in a state of chaos and panic. Suddenly, a man in a white jacket, barefoot, and long hair loose, walked out of Li's house as if he was sleepwalking. When the ancestral hall came out, the Li family at that time took a closer look... Hey! Isn't this the broken jade piece that has been sleeping for a long time?"

"The precious jade that woke up was walking out of the door in a daze, when the bandits outside saw it. The bandit leader thought he was from the Li family, so he came over with a knife and wanted to chop it off."

"Who knows that the precious jade is very skillful. Seeing a big knife coming towards the top of his head, he didn't dodge or avoid it. He leaned forward and grabbed, grasped, and lifted the long knife immediately. He snatched it from his own hand, turned around and slashed sideways, chopping off the bandit leader's head."

"Seeing the head of our leader spinning around on the ground, the rest of the bandits who besieged the Li family were all very timid. They all looked at each other and dared not go forward. Finally, a few young men bravely stepped forward to attack the Li family. He hacked, but he saw that the person transformed from precious jade was holding a long knife, and the knife skill was like a god, and he cut off the heads of those besieging minions in an instant."

"Every time the bandits who had the courage to besiege and kill them were all hacked to death by that man. After several times like this, dozens of people were killed by the bandits, and the rest of the bandits were all scared out of their wits by that man. , finally didn’t dare to provoke them again, and they all dispersed.”

"The life and death catastrophe of the Li family was resolved by one person just like this."

Hearing this, the audience couldn't help applauding, and they were all discussing that Baoyu turned into a ghost.

"Actually, I also heard from relatives on the border. It is said that after the man broke the siege of the Li family, the head of the Li family changed his panic-stricken attitude of avoiding him in the past, and kept holding the man's hand, insisting that the spirit go away. The surname of the Li family gave him a name."

"Eh? The name given by the Li family? Then what is the original name of the ghost that Baoyu transformed into?"

"I don't know. It's said that the spirit was ignorant when he just woke up. He doesn't remember anything, he doesn't know anything, and of course he doesn't know his name."

"It's true. It's normal to know nothing when you just cultivated into a human form."

"However, although that monster doesn't remember anything, it has a good martial arts and is extremely intelligent. In a short period of time, it has read all the books in the Li family and learned the common sense of the world. In addition, is the Li family still being troubled by the left minister in the officialdom?"

"I've heard, but it's not about the officialdom. Did someone from the Li family come up with an idea to solve it? What's the matter? Could it be..."

"Yes, it is said that the difficulties in the Li family's officialdom were also solved by that spirit."

"Hey! This time the Li family has picked up a great treasure! It would be great if the family heirloom of my family can also be transformed into a human form, and it would be even better if the transformed ghost is a beautiful woman..."

"Pfft! Xiongtai thought beautifully, why did you suddenly think of the beauty?"

"Ahem, isn't that what I've heard, that the ghost transformed by Li Jiabaoyu is really handsome and handsome, handsome without waves, like a god-man, like snow between plum blossoms and frost on lotus. Isn't that true?" Just thinking about it, it’s just like the man transformed by the spirit monster, if there is some heirloom spirit turned into a woman, that taste...it really is...hehe!"

"Come on! You are so beautiful, you will start dreaming in broad daylight..."

The sound of a group of people bustling and discussing spread throughout the tavern, listening to the two people's discussion about beauties just now, sitting on a wine table in a remote part of the tavern, the faces of several people are getting more and more gloomy .
