Chapter 8 Night Talking Mountain Temple (Thanks to Concubine Silver Cod's Silver Alliance)
In the mountain temple, except for the guards, several people gathered around the bonfire.
The old housekeeper smiled and said: "Guys, we are destined to meet each other. The night is long, let's introduce each other.
My husband is Xiao Cunyi, the newly-appointed minister of the Ministry of Rites and Cleaning Bureau. After he was transferred to the capital, he asked me to pick up the young lady and go there with him. I thought the path would be closer, but I didn’t expect that the desolate mountains and ridges would be even more difficult to walk."
The scholar cupped his hands and said, "I am a scholar from Pingyang Mansion in Donglin County. My name is Zhao Xinghua. I was going to Beijing to take the exam. I also wanted to take a shortcut, so I went around to this mountain."
Among the pair of men and women, the man looked proud and said: "I am Jiang Hanlin, an elite disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect in Donglin County. I have traveled around the world to punish rapes, eradicate evil, and slay evil spirits. You must have heard of it.
My name is Qingyuan Sword Sect, right?"
The woman on the side said playfully: "I am Han Jingjing, an introductory disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect. I came out to travel with my senior brother."
Jiang Hanlin glanced over and saw that the scholar Zhao Xinghua had a confused look on his face. It was obvious that he didn't know anything about Jianghu.
Gu Cheng also shrugged. He had just traveled through time and had only a partial understanding of the world of cultivation. How did he know what the Qingyuan Sword Sect was?
The old housekeeper laughed and said: "It turns out that he is a young hero from the Qingyuan Sword Sect. I am disrespectful and disrespectful."
Everyone could see that the old housekeeper had obviously never heard of the Qingyuan Sword Sect and just gave him a step down. But Jiang Hanlin didn't notice it and instead raised his head proudly.
"Master, where are you?"
The old housekeeper looked at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "My name is Gu Changan, just an ordinary wanderer."
A group of strangers who happen to meet each other do not need to give their names.
Gu Cheng's cousin name was given to him by Mrs. Gu after his parents passed away. It means long-lasting and peaceful. It was planned to be used when he was crowned.
Therefore, even in the residence of Marquis Zhongyong, few people called him by his cousin's name.
After hearing what Gu Cheng said, no one said much.
Gu Cheng had gone through a fight before, his clothes were torn and stained with blood, and he had been crawling around in the mountains and forests for so many days. He was already dirty and dirty, and he looked like a wanderer.
The old housekeeper smiled and said: "It's a long night and I have nothing to do. How about we tell some interesting stories about strange things?"
Seeing that no one objected, the old housekeeper smiled and said: "In that case, I will tell you something first.
There is a legend in my hometown that when you sleep, putting your shoes upside down and one upside down at the end of the bed can ward off evil spirits, because ghosts use the direction of the shoes to determine the direction of the bed and then climb onto the bed. If you put your shoes upside down and one upside down at the end of the bed, the ghost will not be able to find the bed.
.
A woman heard this legend and joked about it with her husband late at night. The husband scolded her that these were nonsense.
When her husband went to the hut, the woman playfully placed the shoes under the bed upside down.
When her husband came back, he did not go to bed. Instead, he circled around the bed and shouted, "Where is the bed?"
The story of the old housekeeper was very short, and what he described was not terrifying, but it gave a feeling of extreme horror upon reflection, which made Han Jingjing of the Qingyuan Sword Sect keep pushing towards her senior brother.
At this time, Zhao Xinghua said: "Let me tell you a little story.
You may have heard of the word "cooperating with a tiger", and "伥" means a ghost.
Legend has it that the soul of a person eaten by a tiger will not be reincarnated and will turn into a ghost, helping the tiger to lure passers-by.
When a tiger eats a person, it gets a new ghost, and then it lets the previous ghost go."
Han Jingjing wrinkled her little nose and said, "Then this scoundrel is really hateful. He doesn't care if he dies, but he helps the tiger that killed him to harm others."
Zhao Xinghua shook his head slightly and said: "If you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will destroy you.
If he doesn't help the tiger to kill people, he will not be reincarnated for the rest of his life. People are selfish. Who dares to say that he has become a ghost and would rather not be reincarnated forever than harm others?"
Jiang Hanlin snorted disdainfully: "Cowards and cowards are cowards and cowards. You scholars are the only ones who have a lot of eyes, so you have to find so many excuses."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, the old housekeeper quickly said: "It's just a story, don't take it seriously.
Brother Gu travels around the world, do you have any interesting stories to share with everyone?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "Wandering in the world, living is the most important thing. There are not so many interesting things here."
We have only traveled through time for a few days, what kind of story does Gu Cheng have? Could it be that he wants to tell them about the old corpse in the mountain village?
Jiang Hanlin waved his hand harshly: "What you are talking about is very boring, let me tell you something exciting.
Have you ever heard of Mobei Lang eavesdropping? Each one of them kills without blinking an eye, with extremely cruel methods, killing people and robbing wealth, leaving no one alive.
Three years ago, I went to Mobei alone, fought fiercely with wolf bandits, and killed many people. I overturned a mountain stronghold by myself."
His junior sister Han Jingjing said in surprise: "But senior brother, you seem to have said before that you were in Jiangnan three years ago, why did you go to Mobei again?"
Jiang Hanlin glared at her: "Your senior brother, I took the time to go to Mobei to punish rape and eliminate evil, can't I?"
"Oh." Han Jingjing nodded obediently.
Jiang Hanlin continued waving his hands and gesticulating: "There was also a year ago at the ruins of the ancient city battlefield in Haitian County. There was an evil qigong practitioner refining corpses there. He refined countless corpses buried under the battlefield into zombies. Even Jing Ye
No one in the company can do anything about it.
It happened that I was in Haitian County at that time, and a commander-in-chief of Jingyesi came to ask me for help in person.
How could we, the chivalrous people, stand idly by when we saw this kind of thing? So we rushed into the corpses with two swords and slashed back and forth from the east city gate to the west city gate for three days and three nights. The heads rolled to the ground, but I
The sword was raised and dropped, and the sword was raised and dropped. Both long swords were curled, and I didn't even blink!
Finally, with my help, Jingyesi was able to surrender the evil qi-refining master."
Han Jingjing held her chin and asked doubtfully: "Senior brother, our Qingyuan Sword Sect obviously does not have the method of double swords, why do you use double swords?
Master also said that our Qingyuan Cold Light Sword follows the path of lightness and strikes the opponent's vitals, why do you use the sword to chop people?"
Jiang Hanlin went crazy after being brought down twice.
"Sister, why is your focus so weird? Shouldn't you be focusing on how brave I am, senior brother, and how scary the zombies are?"
As he said that, Jiang Hanlin was still gesticulating:
"Let me tell you, those zombies have copper heads and iron arms that can carry swords with their bodies. If you are scratched by their nails or bitten, you will be infected with corpse poison immediately.
I heard that the corpse poison of some zombies is very strange. After biting it, you can even slowly transform yourself from a living person to a zombie!"
Jiang Hanlin deliberately used a deep tone to create a terrifying atmosphere. At this moment, there were sudden fierce knocks on the door outside the mountain temple, which made Jiang Hanlin tremble in fright.
I don't know when, dozens of strange figures stood outside the mountain temple. Through the firelight, I could see that their bodies were stiff, and some had their heads tilted and their limbs twisted.
A gust of wind blew by, the campfire gradually dimmed, but a low roar and the sound of grinding teeth came from outside!
