In Lanruo Temple, Sang stared at the bone china in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
The housekeepers and servants are very efficient and have already helped clean up all the rooms in Lanruo Temple.
At this time, Zhao Zhenren leaned against the door frame and closed the door:
"What are you going to do now?"
"If bone china is not treated, it will be very troublesome."
Sang rubbed his brows with a headache.
"yes……"
"Bone china is just a container. Its real function is what is placed inside."
"According to my previous understanding, there is basically no good stuff in this bone china."
"But if we want to give Cheng's parents a chance of survival, but we have to open the bone china, it will be difficult..."
"In the past few days, you and I will join forces and try using spells and rituals to see if we can avoid the risks involved."
…
The second day.
Ah Cheng sat up a little tiredly.
Regarding the matter of bone china, he pretended to be asleep in the carriage and listened to some of it.
At this moment, my heart is really fried.
"A Cheng, where are you going?"
Seeing the other party put on his clothes in a hurry, the Yinshan boy quickly transformed into himself.
"Go to Lanruo Temple!"
"No matter what, we must find a way to rescue my parents!"
However, the Yinshan boy blocked the door with a solemn expression:
"A-Cheng, taking you to the ghost market was already very risky."
"Listen to me, let Mr. Sang and Zhenren Zhao help you solve this matter."
"The matter of bone china is very dangerous."
"If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to save your parents, but you will even bring disaster to others."
The Yinshan boy said it very sincerely.
But it was about his parents, so Acheng had no patience to delay. After hurriedly washing up, he left Ning Mansion.
The Yinshan boy had no choice but to restrain his body and follow him.
It seems that because of the Lantern Festival on the previous page, there were fewer people on the streets and it seemed a little deserted.
suddenly:
"To say that this scholar comes from a wealthy family, he is usually kind-hearted."
"But what he doesn't know is that his family's ancestors have done deviant things."
"It was precisely this cause and effect that caused this scholar and his family to suddenly suffer bad luck, and even caused a plague, which made the whole town uneasy..."
The familiar voice of a storyteller caught Ah Cheng's attention.
Taking a closer look, he turned out to be the scholar in white whom he met in the ghost market.
At this time, the scholar was surrounded by people, and everyone was listening attentively.
Although he was still worried about the bone china, he wanted to go up and have a look.
Seeing that Acheng's attention seemed to be focused on the storyteller, the Yinshan boy breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but feel worried.
Although the Yinshan boy was born not long ago, he still knows the rules.
In the ghost market, when he saw the scholar, the Yinshan boy felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
Not to mention, the other party also gave Cheng a mountain ghost to spend money.
Although because of the emergency, they did not explain to Cheng the purpose of the mountain ghost's money, but...
"The scholar in front of me is either a mountain god who has not received the imperial title..."
"Either it...is related to the mountain god..."
"this……"
After all, he was a newly born elf, so the Yinshan boy couldn't make up his mind for a while.
On the other hand, Ah Cheng had already squeezed into the crowd.
Seeing Acheng coming, the scholar smiled slightly and continued:
"There is no peace in the town. After the scholar gave some advice, he vaguely knew that it was related to his ancestors."
"But the matter has come to this, the ancestor has passed away, and if we want to investigate, we must also prioritize."
"Therefore, the scholar had no choice but to follow the instructions of his seniors and go up to the mountains not far from the town and pray to the mountain gods for help."
"When it comes to this mountain god, there are two types."
"One type is the mountain elves and wild monsters that have been granted the title of edict, the soul elves. They hold on to the power obtained by the edict and can enjoy the incense with an upright and bright forehead. Their duty is to protect the land and water."
"And the other type is the one with the strongest Taoism in a mountain. This type of creature is unable to support the imperial seal because of too heavy obsessions or karma, so it often causes misunderstandings and is regarded as food.
Human monster."
"So, when the scholar learned that the person above the mountains of this town was a mountain ghost, he couldn't help but be afraid."
"But the expert also pointed out that it is precisely because this place is a mountain ghost, and it has no scruples in its actions. As long as it helps it solve its karma, no matter how big the disaster, the other party will find a way to help it eliminate it."
"In this way, the scholar took the token and went to the mountains to look for the mountain ghost."
As he said this, the scholar slapped the wood in his wake, thus temporarily ending his story-telling.
While everyone was applauding for the reward, some left with unfinished business.
Only Acheng stood there.
When the scholar saw this, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"This gentleman, we meet again."
"Guishi and his party, it's good to see that you are safe and sound."
Ah Cheng is also smart and immediately understood that the scholar was not an ordinary person.
After all, in the ghost market... an ordinary person like him would really have a narrow escape from death!
"This... this gentleman!" Acheng's tone became more respectful: "Excuse me... is the story you just told true?"
An exhibition of the scholar's folding fan.
But on the plain white fan, there was a lifelike eight-figure fox painted on it.
This scene fell into the eyes of the Yinshan boy on the side, and his eyebrows jumped involuntarily.
This fox...

But I saw the scholar taking a sip of tea:
"Telling stories is naturally half true and half false."
"As word of mouth spreads, it is inevitable that there will be more story-like descriptions."
"But...the theory of mountain gods and ghosts has been around since ancient times."
"If Mr. Lang is confused, you can check the ancient books by yourself and you should be able to get the answer."
Ah Cheng said immediately:
"Then...does Mr. Lang know about bone china?"
"A Cheng!" The Yinshan boy on the side immediately spoke to stop him, but it was already too late.
The scholar smiled and waved the folding fan:
"Bone china is indeed a sinister method."
"And...the most terrifying thing is not the bone china itself, but what is contained in the bone china."
"Generally speaking, among demons and monsters, those with higher moral standards are good at using bone china."
"Most of the items stored are things that cannot be easily carried with you on a daily basis."
"For example...Buddhism's five poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt, or Taoism's three disasters, nine difficulties, and ten calamities."
Ah Cheng looked confused when he heard this.
Seeing the situation like this, the Yinshan boy could only appear at Cheng's chest, cupped his hands towards the scholar and said:
"See senior!"
The scholar smiled and waved his hand.
The boy from Yinshan said helplessly: "Ah Cheng, there is a general term for the things contained in bone china, and they are all evil spirits!"
Ah Cheng was slightly startled: "Evil? Aren't you the one?"
The Yinshan boy nodded: "There are many kinds of evil spirits. The ones like mine are the result of customs passed down by ordinary people orally."
"A person like me would put honey on the Stove Lord's mouth and so on."
"However, whether it is the five poisons or the three disasters, nine disasters and ten calamities, these are all natural and man-made disasters that ordinary people are very afraid of."
"After this kind of thing is condensed into an evil spirit, once it is released, it is enough to turn a town directly into a hell on earth!"
After hearing the explanation, Acheng's pupils shrank:
"So, my parents' bone china, isn't it..."
Thinking of this, Acheng became even more anxious and looked at the scholar with a hint of pleading:
"This gentleman, I know you must be capable, otherwise you wouldn't be telling stories in the ghost market."
"Please help me!"
"No matter what the price, I can pay it!"
"A Cheng!" The Yinshan boy was angry and anxious: "This kind of promise is a contract, how can you say it casually!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yinshan boy seemed worried about offending the scholar in front of him, and said quickly: "Senior, please forgive me, Acheng... Acheng is only eager to save people, so..."
The scholar smiled and waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter."
"Of course I won't treat what I say in a moment of passion as an irrevocable contractual commitment."
"Besides, I don't have such ability myself."
"But...I can show you the way."
"Speaking of which, there is also a mountain ghost living on the mountain behind your Lanxi Town."
"The money I gave your mountain ghost yesterday is a token of that mountain ghost."
"If you really want to rescue your parents, go to the top of that mountain and use the mountain ghost to pay money to find a temple. Whether that person is willing to help depends on your luck."
After saying that, the scholar closed the bookstall, closed his folding fan, and gradually left.
In Ah Cheng's ears, a clear verse came:
"Cause and effect are dim and cannot be traced. How can we find them in three lives and three lives?"
"Joking and drunken words forge a red contract. No matter how much hatred comes, how much rest will come."
"The bitterness of hatred burns the body and gathers bad karma. Spring passes and autumn comes, but it will always be with you again."
"The prosperous world is like clouds and smoke, how can we escape from the hatred of heaven."
Seeing the scholar gradually leaving, the Yinshan boy looked at Acheng.
Ah Cheng looked at the mountain ghost money given by the other party, and his eyes changed from hesitant to firm.
When the Yinshan boy saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"A-Cheng, I would rather you go to Lanruo Temple now."
"Listen, in a sense, although the magic power of the mountain ghost is greater than that of the mountain god, because of the different edicts, the responsibilities are also different."
"Mountain gods must protect others. This is their duty, because they need incense."
"But that's not what mountain ghosts are like!"
"Some mountain ghosts are also cannibals!"
"It's like in some storybooks, the Dragon King still wants to sacrifice boys and girls!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
However, after some thought, Ah Cheng decided:
"Let's go to the back mountain!"
The Yinshan boy opened his mouth and felt a headache for a moment.
He thought that he could tell Sang and Zhao Zhenren about this matter, but... how could Acheng let him go up the mountain alone to find the mountain ghost.
Finally, the Yinshan boy sighed and weakly got into Ah Cheng's clothes.
…
In Ning Mansion, Ning Qi blinked and sat up from the bed.
The red light in his eyes disappeared so quickly that he didn't even seem to notice it.
Mrs. Ning quickly got the news and hurried over.
"Mother, I..."
Ning Qi suddenly covered her head in pain.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ning quickly looked at the housekeeper: "Quick, go to Lanruo Temple and invite Mr. Sang and Zhenren Zhao!"
[Author's digression]: Little popular science:
Mountain ghosts spend money as a token of mountain ghosts, which has been spread since ancient times.
However, what is special is that as an extension of Taoist culture, Shangui spends money, and there has not been a rigidly prescribed shape for so many years.
Therefore, there are many types of Shangui money on the market.
As an ordinary small object that can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune, it can be found in some temples to be more "upright".
At the same time, in ancient legends, the difference between mountain ghosts and mountain gods is as mentioned in the article.
One is equivalent to having a formal name, and the other is Yehu Zen.
At the same time, those who can serve as mountain gods are basically animals in the mountains that have become spirits.
Such as Tiger Lord, Fox Lord, and some more special ones, and some use plants as mountain gods.
