Blossoms and Boiled Rain [Time Traveling]

Chapter 31 Chapter 6 Ghost 05

Under the guidance of Niu Laoer, they arrived at Yunxian Village not long after.Yunxian Village looks much bigger than Zhuqiao Village.The scale looks almost no less than a small town, with all kinds of shops and inns.

"Second Uncle Niu, this village is really big enough." Luo Qingchen said with emotion.

Niu Laoer sighed: "We used to be the largest village with a radius of tens of miles. However, since the forest turned into a forest of ghosts, there are fewer people coming and going, and it is only as small as it is now."

Luo Qingchen raised his eyebrows.Heart said: "This is already a very large scale."

Under the guidance of Niu Laoer, Leng Xiaohan came to the inn in the village.

Leng Xiaohan said to Luo Qingchen: "Qingchen, you sit over there for a while, I've settled down, let's eat something and then think about other things."

Luo Qingchen walked into the lobby, found an empty table and sat down, ordered a plate of peanuts, and waited for Leng Xiaohan while eating.Luo Qingchen looked up at Leng Xiaohan and the store manager, not knowing what he and the store manager had said.They also glanced at Luo Qingchen's direction from time to time.

When Leng Xiaohan came over, Luo Qingchen was a little displeased, "Book a room as soon as you book it, why are you always looking at me secretly!"

Leng Xiaohan had a smirk on his face. "The shopkeeper has a crush on you and wants to buy you from me."

Luo Qingchen snorted and said, "I'm rich, young master, so he bought it just as he said!" He squinted at Leng Xiaohan, pouted and said, "Why, are you willing?"

Leng Xiaohan sat down with his arms around Luo Qingchen's neck, "Why don't you give up? You don't even want to follow me!"

"Get out!" Luo Qingchen curled her lips, "Come on! Then what were we last night!"

"Last night?" Leng Xiaohan squeezed his chin, "Did anything happen last night?"

Luo Qingchen pursed her mouth, and gave Leng Xiaohan a big roll of her eyes, "Slap your ass and deny anyone after eating it!"

Seeing Luo Qingchen's displeasure, Leng Xiaohan immediately coaxed, "Okay! I'm teasing you." Leng Xiaohan pinched Luo Qingchen's face, "I was joking just now. Do you know , the shopkeeper said he had seen you before, but that was almost 40 years ago, I guess he was talking about Palace Master Shang."

"Palace Master Shang has been here before!" Luo Qingchen said.

Leng Xiaohan nodded, "That's right, Palace Master Shang and a man chatted for a long time without knowing what. According to the shopkeeper, that man is extremely beautiful, and there is no man as beautiful as him in the world. "

Luo Qingchen rolled his eyes, "A beautiful man? My master?"

"I don't know," Leng Xiaohan shook his head, "But they broke up in the end, and Palace Master Shang was so sad that he kept lying here and crying. Later, Palace Master Shang lived here for more than 20 years... "

"Master Shang has been here for more than 20 years?" Luo Qingchen was a little surprised by Shang Jinse's behavior.

Leng Xiaohan nodded, "One day, Palace Master Shang got drunk here. She was taken away by a man."

"Men? My master is back?"

"I don't think so." Leng Xiaohan said, "According to the shopkeeper, although this man is very similar to the previous one, his appearance is still a little different. And that man is holding a sword, not a scimitar."

"My master doesn't like swords, nor is he good at using them." Luo Qingchen thought for a while and said, "Brother, do you think he is the man my master said made Palace Master Shang betray him?"

Leng Xiaohan nodded, "Nine times out of ten, yes."

Luo Qingchen said again, "But what does this have to do with that ghost seeing forest?"

"Since then," Leng Xiaohan's expression became serious, "that forest has become a forest of ghosts..."

At this time, Niu Laoer brought an old man to the inn.When he saw the two of them, he ran straight over.

"Village chief, let me tell you, it's these two elders!" The old man Niu Er Er was holding was panting.

The village chief panted for a long time, seeing Leng Xiaohan's stern appearance, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and stepped forward respectfully, "The fairy chief is here, if you don't come, our place will be desolate!" The village chief said almost They are all about to kneel down.

Leng Xiaohan hurriedly stepped forward to support him. "Village Chief, you may as well tell me about the situation in your village, we will try our best to help you."

With Leng Xiaohan's support, the village head sat down.Niu Er Er sat next to the village chief.The village chief stroked his goatee, and said slowly: "We used to be Yunxian Town, which extends in all directions, and this is the place where all the immortal sects must pass through. Many immortal family members will pass by here...and That ghost forest was originally called Yuxian Forest, and it was a small forest. Immortals often competed in skills there. But that year, for some reason, that forest suddenly became what it is now."

Leng Xiaohan nodded and looked at Luo Qingchen.He seemed to be still thinking about the things the shopkeeper told him just now.Although Luo Qingchen didn't know if this incident had anything to do with the appearance of Gui Jianlin, it seemed to have something to do with Palace Master Shang.

"Not only that," the village chief continued, "all the external passages around this village were blocked by various ghost forests at that moment. Since then, our Yunxian Town has been trapped in the Here it is.

"But being trapped here shouldn't be the main problem?" Leng Xiaohan asked.

"Oh, you don't know, Immortal Elder!" Niu Laoer interjected, "We are still haunted by ghosts, it's terrible! Many of us have been killed by ghosts. Look, many people have become ghosts. Ghosts eat what ghosts eat, and as a result, there are only a few households in a town as big as ours."

The village head nodded hurriedly, "That's the strange thing, these ghosts are almost all male ghosts, and sometimes they come out to bite people!"

Niu Er Er continued, "Aren't you surprised? I've never heard of ghosts biting people!"

Luo Qingchen frowned, "Male ghost? What kind?"

"A male ghost is a male ghost," Niu Lao Er said, "What else can I do? Of course it looks like a ghost, floating around."

But the village head said: "If you say it's unusual, these ghosts are indeed strange in some ways."

Leng Xiaohan's eyelids twitched, and his brows were locked together.

The village head said: "Those ghosts are different from the ones I've seen before. They speak more like those living corpses. They don't remember emotions, don't speak, and bite people when they see them. But they are really like ghosts. We can't touch them again..."

The two listened quietly to the village chief, without speaking.Seeing that the two were silent, the village chief continued: "Also, we have seen the bodies of these ghosts running out of the ghost forest. They are all like living corpses, with gray faces and bloody fangs, scary. Very good!"

"Living corpse? Soulless soul?" Luo Qingchen frowned. "Sure enough, someone is cultivating the way of ghosts?"

"Kneel down?" Niu Er Er interrupted, "Don't we have to kneel down when we see a ghost!"

Luo Qingchen secretly smiled. "Uncle Niu, what we're talking about is the way of ghosts, not kneeling. Forget it, anyway, what you mean is that the ghosts that appear here are very strange, right?"

"That's right! That's right!" Niu Er Er replied.

"A very strange ghost..." Leng Xiaohan murmured.

Luo Qingchen couldn't help sighing. "What the hell are they trying to do?"

"Qingchen, if I'm not wrong, it should be the soul that was deliberately split." Leng Xiaohan frowned and said.

Luo Qingchen couldn't help shivering.

According to what was said in some books that Luo Qingchen read in his previous life, Luo Qingchen immediately summed up the ghosts and corpses that the village head and Niu Laoer said.

The so-called living corpse means that after the body of a living person loses its soul, it undergoes a corpse transformation or a vomit, so that the corpse can still walk and move without the support of the soul, but this body no longer has feelings and emotions.

And the biting ghosts that the village chief and the others mentioned must be soulless souls.The so-called soulless soul means that a person's soul can be separated from the soul by the three souls.As a result, the three souls that control the spiritual power of memory are lost, leaving only the seven souls that control the power of behavior.Because there is no way for incomplete souls to enter the Nether Temple, there is no way to do it at all.So these floating seven souls had to look for their missing three souls everywhere, or rob other people's three souls.When they bite people, the three souls of the bitten person will be pulled out by these fragmentary seven souls, and the person who lost the three souls will become a living corpse that is neither dead nor alive.

If someone deliberately splits the soul of another person, it is simply a heinous act and is unforgivable.

"Village Chief," Luo Qingchen pondered, "Didn't you say that this place extends in all directions? Then in other surrounding forests, there will be the same living corpses as in the ghost forest?"

"This..." the village chief thought for a while, "No one in the village seems to have seen living corpses appear in other forests, only ghosts can see that thing appearing in the forest. However, the other forests are much worse than the other forests. Be scary and gloomy."

"But..." the village chief said, "the other roads are full of living corpses that come from nowhere! We can't escape at all. Sometimes, villagers also disappear inexplicably, and when we see them again, they... Turned into those living corpses..." The village chief cried out as he spoke.

Leng Xiaohan comforted the village head and Niu Laoer for a long time, and after they calmed down, he asked again: "For so many years, has there been no immortal family?"

"Who cares about us!" Niu Laoer said angrily, "We can't get out the news, so naturally no fairy family knows!"

Luo Qingchen frowned, and asked: "Since it is the gateway between the immortals, how can no one know about it?"

Luo Qingchen thought for a while, and said to Leng Xiaohan: "Brother, does this still belong to the boundary of the Palace of Bliss?"

Leng Xiaohan shook his head, "I don't know, because Jianyumen has its own teleportation secret technique, so it never needs to be here. So I don't know very well."

Luo Qingchen asked the village chief again, "Village chief, do you know which fairy sect is in charge of your place?"

"Is it the fairy gate?" The village head shook his head blankly, "More than ten years ago, there was indeed a small fairy gate in charge here, but since Ghost Seeing Lin appeared, that little fairy gate has never been here again. I think maybe their strength is not as strong as the two elders, so they gave up on us. After all, no one wants to become a living corpse like this."

Seeing that Leng Xiaohan couldn't ask any other questions, he said a few words of comfort before sending the village chief and the others away.

Back in the room, Luo Qingchen sat at the table, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, it seems that someone is making trouble here, we have to meet for a while."

"Oh? Meet for a while? You don't want to go after the lost pill?" Leng Xiaohan said.

"I need to take care of the matter of lost pills, and I also need to take care of the matter of living corpses. I just like to meddle in my own business!" Luo Qingchen raised his head.

"I don't think this is an idle matter!" Leng Xiaohan looked serious.

Luo Qingchen looked at Leng Xiaohan and nodded vigorously. "I'm not a great man, but I still want to do as much help as I can. That's right, I'm a living Lei Feng!"

"Live Lei Feng?" Leng Xiaohan looked at Luo Qingchen in a daze.

"I just like to help others!" Luo Qingchen stuck out her tongue, "However, I think we should start to investigate from that ghost forest first."

"What do you think?" Leng Xiaohan asked.

"At that time in the ghost forest, I saw something unusual." Luo Qingchen said.

Luo Qingchen recalled the scene he saw at that time. "I always feel that there is something weird there. I didn't look too carefully, but I just feel that it is unusual."

Luo Qingchen told Leng Xiaohan about the strange things he saw in the Ghost Forest.Leng Xiaohan frowned and sat there thinking for a long time.But there seems to be no clue at all.

Luo Qingchen thought about whether he should go and have a look, but he was a little apprehensive.He always had a premonition that something bad would happen there.

Luo Qingchen was hesitating, Leng Xiaohan patted him on the back, and said: "There is nothing to worry about. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. I think since we have met, there is no way to retreat now." Back off, why not go and have a look."

Leng Xiaohan's words seemed to make sense, if they wanted to go to Wanfenggu, they could only pass through Yunxian Village.Now that he met him, it would be a merit to him to deal with it casually.Looking back, the traffic here has been restored, and asking Yunxian Village to help publicize the achievements of their Fanhua Palace would be an effective image marketing.

Luo Qingchen nodded, "Okay, but I want them to know that it is my Fanhua Palace who solved this matter."

Leng Xiaohan seemed to see Luo Qingchen's thoughts, and raised his eyebrows, "No problem, I don't care. Just as long as you are happy."

Since she wanted to put this credit on Empress Baihua, Luo Qingchen naturally couldn't show herself as a boy.He thought that since the place is still closed, he might as well just draw women's clothing.

When he walked out of the inn with an elegant and dignified appearance, everyone on the street was stunned.

"Isn't this the fairy from back then!" some elderly people exclaimed.

"A fairy is indeed a fairy. After so many years, her face hasn't changed at all, she's still so beautiful!"

Hearing what they said, Luo Qingchen was not surprised at all, he just smiled and said: "Thank you for your compliments, but I am not the fairy you say."

"No?" The villagers were a little disappointed, "We still thought that if we were a fairy, we could let her break the curse of our village!"

"Curse?" Luo Qingchen and Leng Xiaohan looked at each other.

"When that fairy was in our Yunxian Town that year, she was gentle. But when she left, her eyes were blank, as if she was dead. It was scary. Since that day, this place has become like this...you say If this is not a curse on us, what is it?"

Hearing this, Luo Qingchen was a little surprised.He thought it was Shang Jinse who betrayed Hua Ningmei.However, after so many things.He also felt that this matter was not that simple.But behind Hua Ningmei's inexplicable temperament change, there seems to be some ulterior secret hidden.

Luo Qingchen stood on the street, a little dazed.He was stunned for a long time and thought for a long time.

"Qingchen, what are you thinking?" Leng Xiaohan asked him.

Luo Qingchen shook his head, "Maybe it's just that I think too much. Sometimes I may be too nervous. When I mention my master, I feel a little irrational. Forget it, don't think about it."

Leng Xiaohan patted Luo Qingchen's shoulder, "How about, let's not go to the ghost forest, take a rest, and go to the village to get acquainted first. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay," Luo Qingchen nodded in agreement.

As the village chief said, Yunxian Village is really big, indeed it has reached the size of a town.They walked several blocks without reaching the village.However, it seems that because of being stuck here for more than ten years, the back of the village is almost deserted.The houses looked a little spooky like a haunted house.Some houses can see the style of the past, as if there are pavilions, towers, pavilions, flowing water and small pavilions.The water in the pool in the room was not dry yet, and there seemed to be a source of living water. The pool led to a small stream passing through the room, making a tick-tock sound in the darkness.

Luo Qingchen held Leng Xiaohan's arm and followed him carefully.

"I'm a little strange. You are not afraid of the sky and the earth. It seems that you are not afraid of even ghosts, but why are you a little afraid of such a place?" Leng Xiaohan asked while comforting him.

"Back then, as long as I failed to meet Master's request, he would lock me in a secret room in his room." Luo Qingchen replied truthfully, "Although I am not afraid of the dark, the ticking sound over there, It's like the sound of Master's whip dragging on the ground, it scares me..."

Leng Xiaohan put his arms around Luo Qingchen, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, in the future, no one will hurt you, and no one can hurt you."

When they finally reached the village, what they saw was a large piece of wasteland.On the other side of the wasteland, a few houses that used to be the guardians of the land can be seen in the distance, but now they also look deserted.A few shambling figures swayed back and forth in front of the house.

"Is that... a zombie?" Luo Qingchen looked hard at it.

"It seems so." Leng Xiaohan responded.

I think coming here is the living corpses blocking the road at the head of the village that the village chief and Niu Laoer mentioned.Luo Qingchen felt a little strange, although Ghost Seeing Lin was spooky, but he didn't see any zombies, but there were zombies blatantly wandering here.Moreover, they seem to be limited to this area of ​​the wasteland and do not enter the village.This made Luo Qingchen feel a little unbelievable.

"It seems that if we don't help Yunxian Village solve this problem, we won't be able to leave here smoothly." Leng Xiaohan said.

"Forget it, let's go back." Luo Qingchen tugged on Leng Xiaohan's sleeves.

The two returned to the front of the village and turned around.I happened to see the village chief and Niu Laoer chatting in a yard.From the looks of it, this is the village chief's house.Niu Erer seems to be discussing with the village chief whether to ask Luo Qingchen and Leng Xiaohan to help them solve this trapped matter.But the village chief seemed to be hesitant.

"Village Chief, Second Uncle Niu." Luo Qingchen greeted politely.

The two couldn't help being surprised when they saw Luo Qingchen in women's clothing.

"I thought it was a young master, but it turned out to be a girl!" The village chief exclaimed, "I said that you look familiar, I guess you should be the daughter of that fairy more than ten years ago!"

Luo Qingchen didn't refute, but just smiled slightly.

The village head said: "Your mother lived in the backyard of my house back then, go, I'll show you around."

Luo Qingchen waved his hand, "No, my brother and I will just hang around here and go back to the inn to rest."

"Then wait!" said the village chief, "That year she left in a hurry and left something behind. Wait here for a while, and I'll bring it to you." Then he turned and walked into the house.

After a while, the village chief came out of the house holding a piano. "Here! This is it." The village head handed the piano to Luo Qingchen, "Listen to your mother, this is a token of love between her and her lover."

Luo Qingchen took the piano and looked at it carefully.This is a spring thunder qin, and there is no spiritual power fluctuation on the qin. "This piano..." Luo Qingchen was startled.

"What?" Seeing Luo Qingchen's expression, Leng Xiaohan hurriedly asked.

"Master's Jiaoweiqin is a pair with this one!" Luo Qingchen said.

This violin is etched with patterns similar to those of Hua Ningmei's Jiaowei Qin. Although it is slightly different, Luo Qingchen can feel that the patterns of these two violins must be inextricably linked.Generally speaking, the qin is played solo or in ensemble with other instruments, but there are few cases of double qin ensemble.Moreover, the sound of the two pianos became even deeper and softer, making it difficult for Luo Qingchen to imagine the scene of the two pianos playing together.

The village chief stared blankly at Luo Qingchen, and said, "The girl's master is named Hua?"

"Exactly!" Luo Qingchen replied, "The tutor is Hua Ningmei."

"That's right!" the village head said, "Your mother once said that if she had a child, she would call her Hua Qingcheng. She said that her lover was a great hero who was framed and went mad. Although your mother thought Seek justice for him, but he doesn't agree with her doing this. He asked your mother to wait for him here, waiting for him to get out of the predicament and come out of the abyss."

"Then... why did she leave later?" Luo Qingchen asked.

The village chief shook his head, "When she left, she was disheartened. I thought it was because her lover was gone, but it doesn't look like..."

Luo Qingchen bowed his head and remained silent.Shang Jinse seemed to know the reason for Hua Ningmei's sudden change in temperament, and Hua Ningmei didn't let her go to trouble those people, so it seems that Hua Ningmei at that time was not as violent as Luo Qingchen's impression.At least he still has a good side in his heart.But why did he let Shang Jinse wait here and he didn't come to her for ten years, which made Luo Qingchen feel a little strange.He thought of the man that the shopkeeper told Leng Xiaohan when he was at the inn.

It seems that the man Shang Jinse met was the key to this incident.It's just that he felt that Shang Jinse was the one who was hurt the most in this incident.No wonder she was willing to destroy her appearance in the end.Thinking of this, Luo Qingchen seemed to have figured out something.

For a long time, Luo Qingchen said to the village chief: "Village chief, thank you!"

Leng Xiaohan looked at Luo Qingchen, "Qingcheng, are you okay?"

Luo Qingchen shook his head, "It's okay, let's go back."
