Longevity starts from Liaozhai

Chapter 114
The illusion was shattered, and a dead tree appeared out of nowhere in the open space. A man in green clothes had a jar tied around his waist. He sat on the tree with a somewhat surprised expression on his face.
"How come you are so hot."

While the man in Tsing Yi was speaking, the real fire of the sun rushed towards him.But the man in Tsing Yi immediately grabbed the pot at his waist and let the flames burn on his body without hurting him.He flew forward suddenly, turning into a cyan light, trying to escape.

A cyan sword light appeared, and the sword slashed towards the cyan light, but as soon as the sword light fell, it pierced through the void and struck Qing Lian, but nothing was left.

The sword light retracted, and the night once again wrapped Banyuepo quietly.

"Qin Xianggong, he ran away again?" Ma Huwei was secretly startled when he saw Qin Chuan using the flying sword, and became more and more confused about Qin Chuan's way.

Qin Chuan said calmly: "Brother Ma, don't worry, he can't escape."

Then he paused, "Brother Ma, I offended you."

A breeze talisman appeared, and under Qin Chuan's spell, it instantly turned into ashes.He held Ying Ning in one hand, and actually lifted the horse guard with the other.

In an instant, the wind was flying like lightning.

The horse guard saw the scenery on both sides passing by quickly under the moonlight, and was horrified.

Ying Ning let the breeze slap her face, giggling.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he appeared in front of a manor. Under the moonlight, he saw greenery everywhere, which made people refreshed. It was just such a big manor, so quiet that no pedestrians could be seen.The manor is surrounded by flowers and trees. There are a group of newly built houses next to the manor. Although they are all thatched houses, they feel very neat and elegant.No one was seen inside.

And it’s clear that the cold winter months have not yet passed, and there are already weeping willows here, peach and apricot blossoms are particularly prosperous, and there are also slender green bamboos. When you get closer, you can faintly hear wild birds chirping inside.

Guard Ma asked in surprise, "Don't tell me this is the legendary ghost village of Banyuepo?"

It is amazing to have such a manor in such a remote place and with an abnormal climate.

Before that, he thought that the thieves who stole official money had nothing to do with Guizhuang, but now it's really hard to say.

"Old godly woman, what are you doing?" The voice of the man in Tsing Yi appeared again.

At this time, the gate of the manor opened, and a man in green clothes bound by green vines was thrown out.

"The ignorant man offended the elder. The old woman has taken him down now and left him to be dealt with by the elder." An old woman's voice came out.

The man in Tsing Yi cursed and said, "Old godly woman, when I get away, I will never have sex with you."

While he was speaking, his figure began to fade again, as if he was about to break free from the blue vines.

At this moment, Qin Chuan took out a piece of talisman paper, which was the soul-suppressing talisman, and flew to the man in Tsing Yi with a snap of his fingers, and stuck the talisman paper on his forehead.

The pale figure of the man in Tsing Yi solidified immediately, and his face was filled with panic and fear at this moment, but his mouth was still stubborn:

"Let me go, or my master will definitely not divorce you."

Qin Chuan said lightly: "I expected that you, a little ghost cultivator, have just practiced supernatural powers, so you wouldn't be so bold and dare to go to the government office to make trouble. I'm waiting for the people behind you to come to me."

He didn't keep the man in Tsing Yi at first, because the other party's escapism and the pot did have some knowledge, and secondly, he wanted to see who was behind him.

All the way to Guizhuang, I thought the old woman inside was the person behind him, but I didn't expect there to be someone else.

The man in Tsing Yi was still about to speak, but the power of the soul-suppressing talisman erupted, and he was quickly seized by a nightmare. He was clearly aware of his surroundings, but he couldn't speak or move.

"If the Immortal Elder is not in a hurry to go back to the city, can you bring Ying Ning in and talk about it. I haven't seen her grow so big yet."

Guard Ma was a little hesitant, and said softly: "Mr. Qin, this place is evil, we must be extremely careful."

Qin Chuan nodded, "Brother Ma, watch out for that little thief. Let's go in together."

He knew that in Liaozhai's original novel, the ghost mother was Yingning's adoptive mother, and she protected Tu Lao and the little foxes. According to Tu Lao, the reason why the White Wolf King didn't come to him before was because of the ghost mother's obstruction.

Qin Chuan probably believed in this matter.

Otherwise, the White Wolf King wouldn't have never come to find Yingning.

In that case, the White Wolf King is too stupid as a villain.

Stupider than Yuanye.

Considering these things, it is indeed reasonable.

What's more, the old woman obviously has some eyesight, and the call of "Immortal Elder" made Qin Chuan realize to some extent that the other party had seen some details about him.

Even so, he had to be careful, so he asked the horse guards to go in with him.

Even if the ghost village is dangerous, being with him is safer than staying outside alone.

What's more, Qin Chuan still has a hole card like the green gourd. He only needs to find out the opponent's breath, touch the body, and even if he does mental calculations or carelessly, the gourd flying knife will never disappoint.

Moreover, he also has a black and yellow aura and a pen to punish evil, which have a restraining effect on evil spirits, ghosts, and even gods.

In addition, he can also rely on his martial arts blood to display the supernatural powers of Qingliang Temple to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

Before he knew it, he had a lot of cards in his hole.

Furthermore, the White Wolf King was roughly equal to the ghost mother before taking shape, so he was repeatedly stopped by the ghost mother.This allowed Qin Chuan to have a rough judgment on the strength of the ghost mother. After making considerations, he realized that there was not much risk in entering the ghost village.

Therefore, entering the ghost village may seem a bit risky, but in fact it is easy to come and go.

Taking a step back, the other party is really malicious, and now the other party will turn their backs and leave Qin Chuan behind.And since the man in Tsing Yi has already been handed over, what is the benefit of offending the people behind the man in Tsing Yi, and then offending Qin Chuan?
Therefore, entering the ghost village, in Ma Huwei's view, is quite dangerous.

But in the eyes of Qin Chuan, who has many hole cards and related information, he is calm and calm.

In Ma Huwei's eyes, it was Qin Chuan who was extremely courageous, and had the bearing of what scholars call "Mount Tai collapsed before it changed."

Qin Chuan and his entourage entered the ghost village, and when they reached the front hall, an old woman came out with a cane. She had white hair but a ruddy complexion. She bowed to Qin Chuan, "Immortal Elder, I am very polite."

Qin Chuan bowed slightly.Looking at it with his primordial spirit eyes, he could faintly see the old woman's body as a blue vine, covered by a layer of fuzzy mist, concealing her body.

And the old woman's body that she revealed now should also be an illusion, but it is almost imperceptible without the primordial spirit's eyes. If you think the other party is away from the real transformation, it is only a thunderstorm of transformation.If Qin Chuan was to infer that around the first month of the lunar year, together with Chunlei, it would be suitable for a wood attribute monster like an old woman to transform.

At that time, it will be full of vitality and all things will flourish, which is very beneficial for its practice.

As he thought to himself, the old woman saluted the horse guard again.

Then she sat down in the front hall, and she called out, "Xiao Rong, come and have some tea."

After a while a maid came in with a tray and served everyone a cup of steaming tea.

"Tea, please." The old woman picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing that the tea was steaming, Ma Weiwei carefully took a sip.As soon as the tea entered his mouth, he suddenly let out a gasp. It turned out that the tea was steaming, but it was cool at the entrance. After falling into the abdomen, there was a burst of hot air, and the whole body felt much more comfortable.

Ma Huwei knew that if he drank this tea regularly, he would be able to strengthen his body, and it would be of great benefit in martial arts.

"Good tea." He couldn't help but praise.

The old woman smiled: "Actually, the tea leaves are average, but the water used to make tea is the old man who collected the winter rhyme and melted it into the returned Lingquan spring water. There is a trace of yin and yang in it. Drinking it all year round is good for the soul, qi and blood. There are benefits."

"The old lady has a heart."

"The Immortal Elder is too polite."

The old woman looked at Ying Ning with a smile, "It really looks like her mother."

Ying Ning asked: "Mother-in-law has seen my mother?"

The old woman smiled slightly, "Not only have we met, we are still good sisters. According to seniority, you should call me aunt."

The next thing is to talk about the old days.

But the old woman didn't say much, just exchanged pleasantries.

It can be seen that she really wants to use Ying Ning's relationship to make friends with Qin Chuan.

Because when Qin Chuan followed him all the way, he didn't hold back his breath anymore, and the old woman was quite amazed by the radiant aura of Fa-rectification on his body.

So he made a decisive decision and did not hesitate to offend the master behind the man in Tsing Yi. He did not choose to protect the man in Tsing Yi, but took the initiative to hand him over.

However, even if Qin Chuan didn't surprise her that much, because of Ying Ning's relationship, she didn't intend to make things difficult for Qin Chuan. At most, she would treat him well and send him away, but she would not hand over the man in Tsing Yi.

Afterwards, the old woman asked the maid to bring the food. Although Ying Ning had only eaten the barbecue, she still twitched her index finger when she saw the fat and tender chicken on the plate.

Qin Chuan saw that her bulging belly had already been digested, and thought that she was a half-demon after all, with the blood of Tianhu, so she couldn't demand her with the appetite of an ordinary person.

What's more, Ying Ning has eaten a lot in the past few months, but she doesn't look fat at all, with a little baby fat, she looks like a little beauty.

After eating, the old woman discussed the way of cultivation with Qin Chuan.

She is not from a wild family background, she had an adventure in Sichuan, and listened to the mantra of Taishang Dao, but she is a demon who is good at Taoism.

This is also her luck.

Because the old woman was born with a ferocious aura, and she was able to suppress it only by cultivating Taoism. She didn't cause any trouble, and she practiced peacefully in Guizhuang for many years.

Ying Ning's mother mentioned this point, and warned her to live with water, and to live with gold.

She is very convinced of her good sister's ability to deduce fate. She has not gone out to cause trouble for many years, only because of her good sister's entrustment, she had conflicts with the White Wolf King.

Qin Chuan did not expect that the old woman, who was born in a different species and possessed a ghostly aura, would actually have a lot of insight into Taoism.

The rhyme revealed in his speech is quite different from Shenxiao Dao and Qingliang Temple, forming a school of its own.However, after studying it faintly, there is a kind of enlightenment that different paths lead to the same goal, and it also has a little inspiration for the soul of his cultivation.

Really, it has deep reasoning and mysterious meaning.

In fact, there are some words that the old woman doesn't know what they mean, but she suddenly realized it when she was talking with Qin Chuan.She thought that Qin Chuan knew about this long ago, and specially hinted at her.

But he didn't know that it was Qin Chuan who drew inferences from what she said.

During the discussion between Qin Chuan and the old woman, another feeling came to his mind. In fact, it was not some kind of sorcery that the man in Tsing Yi avoided his sword light before.

Instead, based on illusion, he transformed himself into a void and escaped into the void.That is obviously a very strange Taoism.

"It can do this even if it is a ghost cultivator, but can't I use Yuanshen?"

A clear realization surged in Qin Chuan's heart. If the primordial spirit is hidden into the void, or in the sunlight or moonlight, when facing the enemy in this way, it can achieve a surprising effect of victory.

Later, he will look for an opportunity to question the man in Tsing Yi and ask him the formula.

Although he can use this to deduce it himself, but he has ready-made references, so he doesn't have to let it go.

Although the conversation between Qin Chuan and the old woman was a bit mysterious, Ma Huwei also listened to it a little bit, combined with his own martial arts, he had some insights, but it was not profound.

After finishing the meal, the old woman invited Qin Chuan to stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning.

Qin Chuan didn't refuse either.

The maid named Xiao Rong came out after tidying up two rooms.

She is a thin woman with a so-called cold white skin and good looks, dressed in plain and light maid costumes, she is delicate and beautiful.

And without talking too much, he tidied up the room and asked Qin Chuan if he needed anything else. Qin Chuan said no and went out.

The horse guards are next door.

At night, Qin Chuan escaped from the primordial spirit after the horse guard fell into a deep sleep, and used the idea of ​​the black sky demon god of Qingliang Temple to invade the consciousness of the man in Tsing Yi. Speak the formula honestly.

It is the spell of ghosts, not suitable for Yinshen cultivation.

But Qin Chuan understands the reason and can use it after some improvement.

It turned out that the man in Tsing Yi stole the official bank from the treasury, not because of the instigation of the master behind it, but because he gambled with others, owed a gambling debt, and was ordered to steal the official bank.

Originally, he was only allowed to steal once, but the man in Tsing Yi succeeded once and did it a second time.

He is not a pure ghost cultivator, but also a half-spiritual person.In a small temple in a nearby village, he is a God of Spring Plague. His own incense has withered, but he is taken in by a monster and taken as his subordinate.

The monster was immersed in cultivation and didn't have much discipline for him, only calling him back when something happened.

The jar on his body is a magic weapon that has received the incense of the divine way, which can gather mirage. He used the jar to perform illusions.

The jar is also called "mirage jar".The main body was made from the bones of a mirage, which was picked up by some villager and enshrined in the small temple where he lived.

As for the person who set up a gamble with him, the man in Tsing Yi couldn't describe it, because the other party was not a good person, and there were many ghosts and monks in the casino.He just went in to make a bet in a daze.

"It turned out to be a plague ghost." After Qin Chuan asked about the origin of the man in Tsing Yi, he roughly guessed that the person who set up the gamble was probably looking for trouble with the prefect of Zhou.

However, if the man in Tsing Yi was caught, the other party might not dare to make any moves.

This matter will be handled by Zhou Zhifu himself.

But he was going to take the mirage jar away.

Qin Chuan said hello to these, entered the state of tranquility, and cultivated the primordial spirit.

Guizhuang is actually a place that gathers a lot of spiritual energy of mountains and rivers. It can be called a treasure land of geomantic omen. Although it is not as good as the rumored blessed place in the world, it is also very suitable for cultivation. It is much better than his Wuliuzhuang.

In the morning, the east is white.

Qin Chuan paid off.

Ying Ning ran out of the room early and played outside.

Qin Chuan went out to find her and was going to take her home.

At this time, the old woman was sitting and watching Ying Ning playing and chatting while Xiao Rong stood by and waited on her.

"Grandma, Ning Gu's elder brother, why do you call him Immortal Head? Did he practice in a famous mountain? Why is Ning Gu's elder brother?"

Old woman: "Calling him Immortal Elder is to respect his morality. As for him, he is Ying Ning's elder brother. Well, don't keep asking about these things. I asked you to clean his room yesterday. It was a good idea to seize the opportunity. Really Elm bump."

A smile appeared on Xiao Rong's delicate face, and when he turned around and saw Qin Chuan, he said hello, and then stayed behind the old woman without speaking.

The old woman said hello immediately, and then invited Qin Chuan and his party to have breakfast.

Then Qin Chuan and his party bid farewell and left.

They left the ghost village, walked through Banyue Slope, and when they looked back at the direction of the ghost village, they were already obstructed by heavy clouds and fog, and the mountain road they walked out also disappeared in the mist.

Ma Weiwei was quite emotional, "I didn't expect that we spent the night there, and nothing happened."

Ying Ning: "There is a brother."

Qin Chuan touched her head, "With me here, I can't just mess around."

Ying Ning hugged Qin Chuan's neck, said "hmm" and fell asleep.After all, it's a child, don't worry.

The ghost village is as warm as spring. After walking out, frost formed along the road, and the weather became a little colder, but the frost formed on the grass and trees and shook with the winter wind, which was really beautiful.

When they arrived in the outer city, Qin Chuan asked for a mirage jar before parting with Ma Weiwei, and then they parted.

Back at Wuliuzhuang, Qingqing came out to greet her, and picked up Yingning who was sleepy.

In the past few months, it was the first time that Yingning left Qingqing's care.

Just for one night, Qingqing felt lost.

Ying Ning fell from Qin Chuan's body into Qingqing's arms, and dreamed that she wanted to watch "Shehuo."

Little Ying Ning doesn't know what Shehuo is yet, but she just thinks it must be fun.

Qin Chuan chatted with Qing Qing for a while, saying that when he was arresting the thief, he came to Ying Ning's relative's house, and the owner stayed there overnight.

After going out for a night, Ying Ning came back with some dust on her body.Qin Chuan asked Qingqing to give Ying Ning a bath first, and then help him change his clothes and wash his hands.

Such comfortable days are about to pass, and after the Lantern Festival at the latest, it is time to go out for a study tour.Qin Chuan also had some expectations for this.

He has been in this world for almost half a year, and the farthest he has been has been to Guobei County.

The world is so big, it is good to go out and have a look.

He is actually quite familiar with the mountains and rivers of this world, but the core of the world is different after all, and there are different people and things.

The following days were spent in daily practice, and the New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve passed in a blink of an eye.

The Shehuo parade that Ying Ning was thinking about was about to begin.

This time it was indeed more lively than the Dragon King Temple Fair.

I heard from Wang Fu that there are foreigners who have traveled for a month to participate in the Shehuo Festival in Lingzhou Prefecture. The Shehuo Festival will last for half a month, and then they have to travel another month to go back.

Because of this social fire, it can be said that everyone in the government is crazy.

In the Shehuo Festival, there are juggling troupes and opera singing troupes...

No matter men, women or children, they are all looking forward to the Shehuo Festival.

"The house where all the gods live is greeted with majesty, flute and drums, and miscellaneous operas. There are actors and actresses in the day, pink ink and silk, and the genus of horned fish and dragons. It is colorful and inexhaustible."

This is the description and promotion of the Shehuo Festival by local scholars in Lingzhou Prefecture.

"I heard that the troupe of Huo Guanyin is also here."

When the news came out, passers-by were amazed.
