Chapter 6 Mahogany

After returning to Anlu from Qinglong Town, he was anxious to find out about Ouyang Shaogong's whereabouts.Finally, I heard about it in the inn, and it was back to the Green Jade Altar.Fang Lansheng suddenly became nervous and clamored to save someone.After reading the letter left by Ouyang Shaogong, and hearing from Hongyu that Shaogong is a meticulous person, if something goes wrong, he will try to inform us, so he is relieved.But before rushing on the road, came back from Zuzhou, didn't even take a sip of water, and Xiangling complained that her legs were sore, so she unanimously decided to rest in Anlu for one night, and then go to Qingyu Altar tomorrow.

It's rare to be happy at night, and we all get together to play Shuanglu.Feng Qingxue and Xiangling had never seen each other before, and Yin Qianshang and Hongyu's eyes lit up when they saw each other throwing dice.Fang Lansheng was naturally contemptuous, "What a female monster and a smelly alcoholic! What crooked ways!"

Yin Qianshang raised his head and said with a smile: "Hey, young master Fang, don't say that, Liang Ye is fine, do you want to come down and play a game with me?"

Fang Lansheng said: "I won't be fooled by you, a drunkard! - Do you have the guts to talk to me?"

Hongyu said: "The monkey has learned to be good." Baili Tusu stood aside with his arms folded, and said, "You are not stupid." He added. "If you really want to match the book, I'm afraid it's not the same."

The blue veins on Fang Lansheng's forehead twitched, and he was about to grab someone and yell. Everyone waited leisurely for him to explode, but Fang Lansheng tilted his head and said, "You ordinary people! The young master won't be with you... I'm going to sleep, and I have to go on my way tomorrow." He walked back.

Feng Qingxue said in shock: "Going to bed so early? I still want to eat the dim sum made by Lan Sheng! What was that last time... what..."

Fang Lansheng yawned and said, "There are glutinous rice balls in the kitchen. The young master cooked them himself. Whoever wants to eat them can take them by himself." Turning around, he was facing Xiangling's big eyes, and the expression on his face automatically turned into a smile, and said, "How about you?" There are meat buns specially prepared for Xiangling, I warn you, no one is allowed to move!"

Then Xiangling's hands were itchy, and she also clamored to play. Yin Qianshang, who was used to gambling, won all her golden bells in a few moments. The little fox was so anxious that his eyes were full of tears, and he was always the first to jump out to talk to her. The short winter melon is not there, and I am even more aggrieved.Yin Qianshang intentionally teased her, but Hongyu blamed her again, Feng Qingxue didn't know what to do, and kept saying nice things, after a stalemate for a while, Yin Qianshang saw that the little fox was really going to blow his hair, and returned her with a smile.Baili Tusu looked at it for a long time and felt a little tired, so he went back to his room and leaned on his side.

Hongyu said from behind: "Young Master Baili is alright?"

Baili Tusu said, "I'm fine."

Hongyu said politely: "Everyone is tired of running around these few days. Let's see it tomorrow. Anyway, the fairy grass is already in hand, so there is no rush for it sooner or later."

Baili Tusu said lightly: "Thank you Hongyu for your kindness. But I can't wait anymore. Let's leave early tomorrow morning."

"Oops!"

Fang Lansheng opened his eyes, was jolted suddenly, got out of bed, and rushed to the window to see the sky outside.The whole Anlu was asleep, only the grass grew in the yard, and occasionally there were a few sounds of insects.

"Slept over and slept over! If you don't go—"

I checked my things and ran out in a hurry.At this time, the curfew was already in the city, so I slid close to the wall and hid in the corner of the alley. When I heard the clapper beating three times, I felt relieved and said to myself, it's not too late for Amitabha.When I got to the city gate, I saw no one was there, so I climbed up to the top of the city along a big maple tree next to it, and when I fell down, there were gold stars in front of my eyes.

Getting up and patting the dirt on the front of his clothes, Fang Lansheng continued to move forward bravely.This place is Bishan, it is the time when the yin energy is at its peak, not to mention the ghostly aura everywhere, hating blood for thousands of years, the soil is green, and the sad laughter is everywhere, and for a while, people can't help but feel their hair stand on end.

He has never been good at acting alone, and he follows a lot of people wherever he goes, so he becomes a headless fly in the sea of ​​thunder clouds, wandering around, but luckily he meets the person he most wants to meet within a few steps.He talked about protecting and protecting, but in fact, his heart was probably not much different from what Xiangling thought.

At this time, he had to bite the bullet, holding the Qilin Bodhi Bead in one hand. The bead emits a faint warm light and can be used as a lantern.Mouth gurgling, chanting all kinds of scriptures and spells that I can think of upside down, as if I am giving myself courage.Walking tremblingly along the way, being pulled by thorns from time to time, I thought it was a ghost's hand, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He stumbled and stumbled to the gate of Zixian Villa. Fortunately, he had good spiritual power and was protected by Buddhist beads. Ordinary little ghosts would not dare to touch him.The dilapidated door with rust on the nails was half-closed, and patches of red paint were mottled.Fang Lansheng took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Baili Tusu suspected that he was awakened by thirst; the mountains and plains were full of fires.Watching the tree trunks burn and the vegetation turn to ashes.Trapped in the fire, looking around, there is no gap.Gradually watching the flames approaching him, he could smell the dry, burning smell of his hair.His heart also burned up, and he was forced inside and out, almost devouring him.

Woke up with a dry tongue and mouth.There is a teapot on the table, pour tea for yourself, and look out the window by the way.It's not the new moon, it's just a cloudy day, but the hot feeling in the chest has not dissipated, like a ball of burning coals.

Almost out of control.I understand very well.

The cold tea is extremely astringent in the mouth, and the whole throat is filled with bitterness.Staring at the window lattice in a daze, suddenly felt that something was wrong.If you look closely, the wooden lattice cuts across the vertical painting room. The room opposite is actually Fang Lansheng's, but there is a crack in the door.

Baili Tusu's eyes turned cold.In the courtyard, the shadows of the trees whirled, the grass and insects were miserable, and the shadows of the houses seemed to hide some shaking things. When I got closer, I found nothing happened.When he hurriedly opened the opposite door to look, there was no one there, he thought in his heart that the scholar was doing all sorts of weird things today, so he left the inn without any hesitation.

waved. "Ah Xiang!"

It took Hai Dongqing a while to come over slowly, and landed on his shoulder, the boss closed his eyes reluctantly.Baili Tusu said: "Go and find out where Lan Sheng is."

Hai Dongqing rubbed his shoulder blades, dragging his fat body into the air.Baili Tusu tapped his left arm lightly with the fingers of his right hand. When he looked up and saw that A Xiang had returned, he raised his head somewhere.Baili Tusu said: "I think it's the same. It's nothing to worry about, just go and rest."

Now follow the road that Fang Lansheng walked, and drive to Xianshanzhuang.Along the way, fresh marks of broken branches can still be seen from time to time.The road was not halfway there, but the scholar stumbled and stumbled at least a dozen times.There were also unidentified ghosts floating close to him to suck his blood. Baili Tusu waved his hand casually, one sword at a time.He went all the way without stopping, until he reached the gate of Zixian Villa.

He looked around, but still couldn't see anyone, so he kicked open the rotten wooden door.The courtyard was barren and dilapidated, not much different from the previous visit. There were dots of will-o'-the-wisps in the tall grass, and there were only a lot less red-clothed wraiths going back and forth.When passing by the well, I took a special look into it, thinking that this idiot fell into the well, but there was a black hole underneath, and I couldn't see anything.

The long night is long, and another roll of rebirth curse ends.

Fang Lansheng twirled the Buddha beads with his fingers until they were numb, thinking that he had brought everything, but why he forgot to bring a water bag.The red candles are burning high in this place, and the guests are noisy, it can only be a few decades ago; now it is just a ghost house, showing its teeth and claws to strangers from outside.

Sighing, he licked his chapped lips and knelt down on the futon again.

Before he could open his mouth, a burst of stern air rushed towards his face, and suddenly a female ghost in red floated out from behind the incense table.Listening to Fang Lansheng recite the scriptures all night in this hall, all the little ghosts who couldn't resist were forced to reincarnate. Stop, those bleeding from the seven orifices will die with him.

Fang Lansheng was about to hide, but his spiritual power was almost exhausted, so he barely moved aside, stood up and wanted to turn around and run away, his legs were shaking.The female ghost floated behind him to stop him from retreating, with a desperate posture, her long fingernails were digging at his eyes.Fang Lan gave birth to one side of her head, her hair was broken into a bun, and her black hair fell over her shoulders.But he suddenly panicked, his eyes only looked at the ground and slipped away.How could he be distracted at this moment, the female ghost in red stabbed deeply into his waist.Fang Lansheng let out a scream and got stuck in his throat, the beads broke off and rolled on the ground one by one, lighting up violently like a flash of light.

In an instant, the demonic atmosphere in the entire lobby was swept away.Fang Lansheng saw Baili Tusu, whose face was as dark as Guan Gong's, standing in front of the female ghost who had turned into powder, holding Mo Yang in his hand.

Fang Lansheng couldn't tell for a moment whether he was happy or worried when he saw this person, and he wished he could immediately follow the female ghost to evaporate into a wisp of smoke out of thin air.Baili Tusu didn't even bother to look at him any more, and turned his head away.Fang Lansheng was still standing there, when Baili Tusu arrived at the door, but there was no movement, he turned his head and said impatiently, "Aren't you leaving?"

Only then did Fang Lansheng come to his senses, he didn't care about anything, and trotted to keep up.

I was free in an instant.Fang Lansheng couldn't take it anymore, and said, "You can't say a word with a wooden face?"

Only now did Baili Tusu take a look at him, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Fang Lansheng sighed and said, "If I didn't say anything, you just keep leading the way."

After four more.The east began to turn slightly gray and white, and the blue lanterns in the grass were as clueless as fireflies.The dew turned to frost, and the chill pierced the bones.Only at this time, I started to feel in a trance, with a dull pain in my head, and I didn't know if it was a dream or waking up.

Baili Tusu suddenly said, "Are you injured?"

Fang Lansheng said, "I didn't..."

Baili Tusu glared at him.Although it was so dark that people could not be distinguished from ghosts, and there was no moon or stars on his head, Fang Lansheng was wearing a white shirt with a stain on his waist, which was particularly eye-catching.Baili Tusu pulled it apart to look at it, unwrapped the belt of Fenji's sword, and strangled it hard. Fang Lansheng was so painful that he almost couldn't hold back his breath, and shouted: "You can die if you strike softly!"

Baili Tusu said, "You deserve it."

Turn around and leave.Fang Lansheng knew that he was really angry, so he had no choice but to keep up, clutching his wound, limping, feeling the warm liquid continuously seeping out, wet his palms, and becoming ruthless, thinking that it was a big deal in the wilderness Grandpa died here, anyway, someone collected the body.Just as he was about to take a step with the determination to die, he looked up and saw Baili Tusu stop.It turned out that he walked to a slightly open place, looked around, and said, "It's almost dawn. Let's make do with it for the night."

Fang Lansheng snorted habitually, but he couldn't walk anymore.Since I learned how to soar, I seldom spend the night in the wilderness. Just looking back at such a gloomy scene, I can't help but feel a little bleak.

Baili Tusu didn't look at him directly, went to pick up the dead branches and leaves, and started a fire.Fang Lansheng moved over immediately, thinking that ghosts are afraid of Yang Qi, and his wooden face is full of Yang Qi, so he can't go wrong with it.

As soon as he sat down, the wound began to hurt sharply; after running two steps just now, the wound opened again. Although Fang Lansheng was cold and hungry, he didn't even feel sleepy at this moment, and just stared blankly at the fire.Baili Tusu also sat down, and the mole on the center of his brow became redder.

Glancing at Fang Lansheng, he took out a paper bag from his arms, touched his elbow, and said, "Here."

Fang Lansheng was startled, and said, "What is this?"

Baili Tusu said: "The osmanthus flower cake you made during the day. When I came out, I took two pieces from the kitchen."

Fang Lansheng thought that it was better to ask for others than to ask for himself, so he snatched it away, broke off a corner and stuffed it into his mouth.After eating for half a day, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, Baili Tusu was looking at him coldly, and said with a dry smile, "Wooden face, are you hungry too? There's still half a dollar left."

Baili Tusu said, "I'm not hungry."

Fang Lansheng had nothing to do, he had already seen enough of the aura around him, and he definitely couldn't hold it back, so he might as well confess it directly and die quickly.After making up his mind, his eyes were quite sharp, and he raised his head and said, "Wooden face, I'm not lying to you. If you don't come, I will be able to go back this time."

Baili Tusu said: "Then the unknown hero will be famous forever."

Fang Lansheng hurriedly defended: "Don't I want to tell you about this great achievement?...Only, uh, it's my business after all..."

Baili Tusu said indifferently: "What about you alone? What about alone, you should go alone? If it weren't for you, I would go to Xianzhi alone, and I'm afraid I won't be able to escape unscathed."

Fang Lansheng was anxious, and said loudly: "I really didn't mean to be brave by myself... But I don't want to delay you, everyone is tired, I just want to come back here, so I might as well get married soon. Compared to the beginning, I am much stronger No? I just didn't expect..."

Baili Tusu interrupted him suddenly: "Is this yours?"

Fang Lansheng saw a hairpin in Baili Tusu's palm.Looking closely, it was a mahogany hairpin. Remembering that my hair was still messy, I raised my hand and tried to tie it up, but because it hurt the wound on my waist, I gave up, and said: "Hey, I owe you another favor."

Baili Tusu withdrew his hand, his eyes were strangely dark, and finally said: "You still..." I wanted to say that you still kept it, but felt inappropriate, so I stopped.On the contrary, Fang Lansheng wondered, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong?This mahogany hairpin was originally bought in Anlu.Fang Lansheng was not there at the time, and when he returned to the inn, he saw that he had replaced it with a new one, so he ran to buy it too; it turned out to be the last one.The young master down here refused to obey, and yelled that the wooden face would be finished with a braid, except for taking a bath, what kind of hairpin do you want.He made a fuss, so he gave it to Fang Lansheng, and went to buy an animal bone.Later, I don't know how many times I changed it, and Fang Lansheng didn't wear this hairpin for a long time.I didn't expect to see it again today.

Fang Lansheng didn't take it seriously, and said, "Fortunately, I kept it all the time, this time I'm using it to ward off evil spirits."

He poked the fire with a twig, and sparks flew out. He turned sideways to avoid her, and said, "I always dream about her. It's true. After leaving Qinshihuang's Mausoleum, I always dream about her."

"I think about my previous life. She was not the only one who killed. Her father, her mother, and the people in Yizhuang didn't survive. They were all done by me, but she was the most painful. There are so many debts, and there is no way to pay them back." , Those souls are still in the villa, and they have not been sucked away by Yuheng. Although it is no longer my business, I should take a look at it. I was haunted by her when I came last time, and I didn't take a good look at it. Zhuangzi, after walking around this time, I realized that it was exactly the same as in my dream. I also found our room, the dressing table, covered with cobwebs, and there were still flowers she used in the drawer....Before I think clearly, Jin Lei is Jin Lei, I am me, I don't owe anyone, I save her only because of my kindness, but I remember it after all..."

Why did I fight and kill in my previous life, but you played the piano elegantly in my previous life? !

Remember this sentence.Now it is actually sympathy for each other, Fang Lansheng doesn't know.

Fang Lansheng said: "Wooden face, tell me, what happened to you in Zuzhou?"

When I came out in the sea of ​​flowers, I asked this question.At that time, it was perfunctory, and there was no more content. I never thought that Fang Lansheng would remember it until now.But still didn't know what to say, so he lowered his eyelashes.Fang Lansheng couldn't wait for a response, so he turned around.

"I didn't expect you to tell me."

"You're always like this, you don't say anything, wooden face." He smiled, slowly wrapped his arms around his knees, and said. "I've never seen a person like you. I used to quarrel with others in school, and I hoped that they would fight back. If I quarreled, it would be loud and colorful. You are good, and you only say things that make people feel cold. At first, I was curious and thought you The six roots are pure, without any desires or desires; I didn’t expect to have a thought in my heart, so I want to go with you anyway. I have never seen you smile, I want to know if this thing is over, can you be happier, I will not It’s been a waste of time. Now it’s all right, I found Xianzhi, and immediately refined it into a elixir, even if it’s not a sure thing, why do you have to look like you’re dying?... You are a hero, you can resist, You swear to the death that you will not be subdued. Up to now, I have treated you with all my heart and soul, and if you don't say anything, it...it's not fair."

Baili Tusu remained silent, and after a while said, "Sorry."

Fang Lansheng pursed her lips, and felt that she was going to cry for a moment, but finally she smiled and said, "Then I'll sleep, wooden face, you look at the fire—"

Suddenly, I felt dizzy and dizzy, and my eyes turned black, thinking it was bleeding too much.The body tilted to one side.Baili Tusu reached out to support him, and fell on his shoulder like this.Slowly closed the eyelids.

Having an appointment with someone is just an excuse.It's not that a gentleman doesn't want to be honest, it's just that what others say can reassure others, but what he says just makes others feel uncomfortable.Why should it be so.

Am I trying to hide it from you?Only now that you are aware of it, it is uncomfortable to say it, and it is also uncomfortable not to say it.What to do?

The flames danced little by little.Hold the mahogany hairpin.
