There was a cool breeze, the bright moon was in the sky, and the surroundings were silent.
A woman with a light figure and beautiful appearance, who was willing to refuse but was welcomed back, was standing on the grave mound with extreme shyness and joy of reunion, quietly looking at the young man riding on a dragon horse not far away.
Young Master.
Their eyes met each other, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Qingmei's eyes were full of joy and shyness, and when her husband shouted, even her cheeks seemed to be slightly hot and red.
Li Xiuyuan looked a little surprised at first, but then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The cause left in the beginning bears fruit today.
The woman who died innocently while lying in his arms that day turned into a female ghost and met him again today.
"Long time no see, Miss Qingmei, how are you?" Li Xiuyuan didn't know what to say after a while, so he had to ask.
Qingmei's head was slightly lowered, and with the tenderness of a girl, she smiled and said: "Thanks to my husband, everything is fine."
"When Japan came, I planned to take your body back to Guobei County for burial in the ancestral grave, but you said you wanted to be buried in Lanruo Temple. I think this should be your fate. Only by leaving you here, will you be buried here."
Only when your obsession will not dissipate can you become a ghost and reunite with me again. If I had taken your body away that day and your obsession was gone, I'm afraid you would have been reincarnated by now."
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he immediately got off his horse and walked towards Qingmei.
"My husband is absolutely right, and I didn't expect that my husband is not afraid that I am a ghost." Qingmei said happily.
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "How many ghosts have I seen so far? You made a marriage with me before your death, and you wore the golden lock of my Li family. You are naturally the daughter-in-law of my Li family, and the original
The arrangement is just for today's reunion, I hope Qingmei you don't blame me for designing all this to prevent you from being reincarnated."
He also made the arrangements with selfish motives.
"Being able to renew our relationship with your husband is a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes. How can I blame my husband? It's too late for me to be grateful to my husband." Qingmei's heart was full of joy.
Since she became a ghost, she has missed Li Xiuyuan every day, waiting in the back hill of Lanruo Temple every night, hoping to meet him one day.
Now that I have been waiting for it day and night, I finally got what I wanted today.
As soon as she thought of this, she boldly flew over out of thin air, wanting to fall into the man's arms and let her husband hug her.
"No."
However, Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly, he took a few steps back and stopped Qingmei from doing this.
"Why, my husband is afraid that I am a ghost and will harm my husband?"
Qingmei's eyes were shining with crystal light, making her look particularly soft and charming.
Li Xiuyuan sighed again and said: "It's too late for me to like you. How can I be afraid of you? But you are already the body of a ghost, and I am a saint in the world. I am born with ghosts and gods not close to each other. The ghost entered my body."
The three-foot range is like falling into a frying pan. Walking up the mountain of knives, you have to endure unimaginable pain. It is not impossible for a ghost with a slightly lower level of Taoism to even collapse directly. Qingmei, you can get close to me now because of the
The jade belt blocks my breath. This is a magic weapon made by my master from the umbilical cord where I was born. Once I take off the jade belt, the breath will come out and it will hurt you immediately."
"You haven't been a ghost for a long time, and your Taoism is almost non-existent. If you meet me, I can't imagine what will happen."
"How... could this happen?" Qingmei lowered her head and cried: "If this happens, won't I never be able to serve my husband and renew my relationship with him?"
"Why are you crying? It's a great blessing that you and I meet each other. I don't know how much better it is than separation before death. You should be happy now. Although you and I can't be close to each other, we can stay together forever."
Li Xiuyuan said: "Besides, my master is a very good Taoist, so he may not be able to come up with a best-of-both-worlds solution to solve this problem."
"As long as you and I are together, this difficulty will be overcome sooner or later."
When she was told this, Qingmei immediately smiled again and touched her tears: "My husband is absolutely right. I am laughing at my husband when I look like this."
"No, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This matter has never been solved in ancient times. There is no way to do it. And I also know what you mean." Li Xiuyuan stepped forward and looked at Qingmei in front of him and said.
Qingmei raised her pretty face slightly, opened a pair of bright eyes, and faced the man's gaze with shyness and joy. Her whole body couldn't help but become a little nervous, and her pair of fair and translucent thin hands subconsciously grabbed the corners of her clothes.
She looks exactly like a little daughter-in-law.
"You are much more beautiful than before." Li Xiuyuan smiled.
"I haven't changed at all, I'm still the same as before." Qingmei said shyly, but her heart was filled with joy.
"The yang energy in your husband's body is so strong that I seem to see a flame wrapping around my husband, trying to set me on fire."
"Feel sorry."
Li Xiuyuan hurriedly took two steps back.
Qingmei's ghost is still too immature. Even though her aura is blocked, she can't even withstand the Yang energy in her body. This is much worse than Tieshan and the others. Tieshan and the others can at least not be afraid of the Yang energy in their bodies.
"My body is too useless. It is not as good as that girl Nie. She is very good at cultivation and has been practicing Taoism for hundreds of years. She can be as skin-to-skin as a man." She said with some inferiority complex.
"Miss Nie? Is that Nie Xiaoqian?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Qingmei nodded and said, "Yes, your husband also knows?"
"Of course I know, she was seducing a stupid scholar before." Li Xiuyuan said.
Qingmei said: "Miss Nie is also a poor woman. She was originally a wealthy lady from a scholarly family. She died of a sudden illness because she accompanied her mother to Lanruo Temple to burn incense. Her mother buried her in the back hill of Lanruo Temple.
, it turned out to be a peaceful place in Buddhism. After being influenced by Buddhism, she could become a good ghost. Unexpectedly, she encountered a thousand-year-old tree spirit. Her bones were controlled by the tree spirit. She had to obey the tree spirit's order to seduce the past.
The passers-by drink human blood for the tree spirits.”
"So that's it." Li Xiuyuan nodded, not surprised at all.
Because he could more or less guess Nie Xiaoqian's life experience.
"What about you? Your body is probably intact." Li Xiuyuan said again.
"Thanks to Mr. Husband, my body is intact," Qingmei said.
"The tree demon didn't attack your bones?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Qingmei shook her head: "The tree demon really wanted to control my body, but its roots lost strength when they extended to the vicinity of my coffin, so my body has never been controlled by the tree demon. If
If I guessed correctly, it is the function of this golden lock. After I turned into a ghost, this golden lock was also worn around my neck."
"This golden lock was blessed by my master before, saying it can keep peace, protect the soul, and calm the mind. It was one of the backup tools I left behind that day, and I buried you with my own hands. Your luck is connected with me.
You will be protected in the dark. As long as I don't die, no one can disturb your bones." Li Xiuyuan said.
In order to consecrate the gold, silver and jade lock, the blind Taoist even took a bowl of his blood and cast some Taoist magic on it.
Out of his trust in his master, he boldly buried Qingmei here.
In addition, he also believes in the protection in the underworld.
People who are buried with their own saintly destiny will be protected by their own luck. In addition, they have already made a marriage before their death, so the connection between their luck is even closer.
Even if there are difficulties, we can turn them into good fortunes.
"It turns out that my husband arranged so many things that day, but I didn't know about it." Qingmei said a little surprised, but at the same time she felt a little sweet in her heart.
This arrangement was enough to show that her husband at that time valued her.
"Speaking of shelter, I heard the name of someone." Suddenly, Qingmei said again.
"Who?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"It's the old abbot of Lanruo Temple, Master Liaokong. I remember one day the tree demon personally tried to control my concubine's body. Master Liaokong suddenly appeared and fought with the tree demon. Finally, the tree demon and Master Luokong disappeared together.
Once we enter the dense forest in the back mountain, this matter ends here. As for Master Kong Kong, I have never seen him again."
After saying that, she said with some regret.
"Master Lokong has passed away." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, looking into the depths of the dense forest.
I didn't expect that something like this would happen during this period.
Master Liao Kong actually risked his life to protect Qingmei's bones.
Is this some hidden protection, or is it a good karma planted by Master Liao Kong? Or maybe everything is just a coincidence.
"Tomorrow I will ask the guards to come over and remove your coffin. Since you have become a ghost, there is no need to continue to bury the bones here. There are all lonely ghosts here. I will not let you continue to be here."
Just wander around here." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Everything is up to the husband." Qingmei Qian said softly and submissively.
Just when Li Xiuyuan and Qingmei reunited to reminisce about the past.
Deep in the dense forest of the back mountain.
Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu chased the tree demon, but unknowingly they were very deep. The ancient trees here were towering, their crowns covered the clouds and the sun, and everything was dark.
However, the smell of putrid corpses was particularly strong, and bursts of strange laughter could be heard from time to time in the surrounding vegetation, which made people's hair stand on end.
"This is the lair of the tree demon. We pursued it too deeply," Yan Chixia said.
"What are you afraid of? If the monster comes, I will chop him to death." Xia Houwu said still angrily.
Once his martial arts practitioners accepted ghosts and monsters, they immediately became unafraid of them.
A knight-errant swordsman like him, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, would have dared to assassinate a country's king, let alone a small ghost.
"Yan Chixia, you are so brave. You dare to chase me here alone. I can't deal with Li Xiuyuan, so why can't I even kill you?"
The hoarse voice of the tree demon sounded from all directions, and he regained his courage and was no longer afraid.
It seemed to have sensed it, and Li Xiuyuan did not chase after it.
Grandma Dryad thought that she was afraid of no one in the world except Li Xiuyuan. That guy was her nemesis. Disaster. In the past, he had cut off her body and ruined the foundation of becoming an immortal. Today's appearance has damaged Taoism for nearly a hundred years.
, the next time it can't even guarantee whether it can escape from Li Xiuyuan alive.
As for the two guys in front of me, one Yan Chixia has the skills of a swordsman, but his skills are a little shallow and cannot display much strength. The other is an ordinary warrior. Since he can't fly to the sky and escape from the earth, he can't
If you can't summon wind and rain or even subjugate demons, then you have nothing to fear.
"You guys, kill them."
Grandma Dryad did not choose to do it herself out of caution, but ordered her subordinates to do it.
Although it has been a demon for half a year, it still managed to gather a group of demons and monsters.
Immediately, in the darkness of the nearby woods, bursts of strange laughter sounded, and gusts of dark wind blew towards the performance and Xiahou Wu.
The smelly wind is so disgusting that it stings the eyes and makes one feel like vomiting.
"This is ghost energy. Keep your mouth shut and be careful with your eyes. Don't be blown away, otherwise you will easily go blind." Yan Chixia shouted in a low voice and threw away the sword in her hand: "Sword-riding~!"
The sharp sword immediately flew into the air, flying and circling in mid-air, chasing the evil wind.
His sword can kill demons and monsters. The evil wind immediately let out a miserable scream when it was struck, and then suddenly dispersed in the air and could no longer be condensed.
Seeing this, Xia Houwu also raised his sword to slash at the evil wind blowing nearby. The sword felt like it was hitting a person, and he screamed again and again, and the evil ghost howled endlessly.
"A good sword is indeed as big as the sky and the earth, and the truth is the greatest. The scholar must be a very powerful scholar. His truth can kill ghosts and gods."
He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that the sword of truth in his hand could actually make ghosts and gods retreat.
In the past, my martial arts skills were better than those of millions of heroes, but I never thought that I would be able to defeat ghosts and gods today.
Yan Chixia took a sip; "Nonsense, what kind of sword of truth? The book has an extraordinary character, and his blood can make ghosts and gods retreat."
"Yan Chixia, you don't know a lot of Chinese characters. You don't know anything about scholars. Don't try to lie to me. I have heard before that scholars have a clear mind and can disperse ghosts and gods. I will verify it today to find out if it is true. And
There is no one in this world who can drive away ghosts and monsters with just a few drops of blood." Xia Houwu retorted while fighting.
"..."
Yan Chixia was too lazy to argue with him. When did Xia Houwu become so convinced of that scholar?
Hasn't he always been unruly?
Without Dryad Granny taking action, it would be impossible for Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu to be dealt with by the little devils under her command.
Its foundation is shallow, so how can it gather so many powerful demons and ghosts like that Hua Gu in Hua County?
"It's useless, Xiaoqian, why don't you come and help me quickly."
When the tree demon grandma saw that all the ghost servants and ghost maids around her had been killed, and there was no one in her hands, she immediately summoned Nie Xiaoqian.
In the Zen room in Lanruo Temple, Nie Xiaoqian, who was staying with Ning Caichen, felt a splitting headache and knew in her heart that this was the Dryad Grandma summoning her.
"Ning Caichen, I'm leaving. Grandma is summoning me. I have to go back. If there is a fate, we will have a chance to see each other again. If there is no fate, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back. Hello.
Take care of yourself."
Nie Xiaoqian felt a little sad and helpless, so she hurriedly flew into the air and headed straight for the dense forest in the back mountain.
