Huang Quan's companion

Chapter 74

He Tang felt that from the moment he woke up in Yang Jinshu's grave, his world view had begun to collapse.

He originally thought that he was just one of the many grieving ghosts, ordinary and insignificant, and his greatest wish was to scare his vicious mother out of her wits, having nightmares every night, and not having a good death.But he got to know Yang Jinshu, Shi Tianning, Wan Niang, Uncle Liu, and God Stick—he thought he knew many ordinary ghosts, and his neighbors were like the most ordinary people: scholars. , swordsman, dancer, middle-aged uncle, charlatan—although they are all dead.

After becoming a ghost, He Tang felt that it was difficult to be a ghost. He needed to practice even if he wanted to leave the Yang family. But later, he returned to Jishan County, went to Qinglian Temple, passed by Futu Town... and walked a long way. It's far away, but I feel that there are many mountains and rivers, and the scenery I've seen is similar-it's nothing more than a dark night and white ghosts.

He thinks he is very simple, Yang Jinshu is very simple, his neighbors are all simple, they are all ordinary people, although their personalities are weird, but they are all easy to get along with friends, later he found out that everyone has secrets, only he is stupid speak to everyone.

Things in Yang Jinshu's family were simple and tender, He Tang could only vaguely glimpse the outline of his past happiness, and then his scholar changed his past, laughed and laughed with him, was so gentle that he was almost pampered, let him depend on him, let him be willful.He thought Yang Jinshu was very good, with a genuine smile and a gentle disposition. Although he was a bit aloof and indifferent as a scholar in his bones, and also a little innocent who didn't know the sufferings of the world, but to him, Yang Jinshu was always distressed and considerate.

Falling in love with such a person seems to be a very natural thing.

Later, he encountered many things. Brother Tian Ning seemed to be secretly in love with her. Wan Niang actually had a loyal maid all along. The magic stick and apprentice were entangled. Everyone had countless secrets. He felt so depressed.He thought, Xiao Wu is a child, he should be the most innocent, but Fu Lan who appeared out of nowhere made him feel even more tired.After thinking about it, Uncle Liu is probably the simplest among these people. Who knew that the only honest person was actually the biggest villain among them.

He Tang stood beside Yang Jinshu and complained: "Jinshu, I'm so tired..."

Seeing that he was still weak, Yang Jinshu held him in his arms and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You are the best." He Tang patted his arm, tilted his head and said, "I like you the most."

Although he shouldn't laugh in such an atmosphere, Yang Jinshu couldn't help it. He put his head on the back of He Tang's neck, smiled sullenly, and said in a low voice, "Well, I like you the most too."

They looked at the three acquaintances not far away who had a special relationship with Qinglian Temple, and obediently became the melon-eating crowd.

The magic stick seemed to have not recovered from the transformation of Lao Liu's identity, and asked blankly: "How did Uncle Liu get involved with Qinglian Temple?"

Old Liu remained silent.

Seeing his posture, Fulan sneered and said, "How much do you know about Qinglian Temple?"

"..." Shenzhu said blankly, "No matter how you say it, I am also the first generation disciple of Qinglian Temple, so I know more than you."

"..." Fu Lan thought for a while, and she was right, so she said, "You are a latecomer, so I'm afraid you don't know much about the beginning of Qinglian Temple's founding."

Shen stick nodded, the back of his neck hurt so badly for some reason, and the things after they came to the underworld vaguely appeared in his mind. Old Liu was walking behind him, and suddenly his back of the neck felt cold, as if he was wrapped by a snake, strangling him. His whole body went limp, and then he didn't know what to do... He looked at Lao Liu suspiciously, and belatedly realized that the other party seemed to be very familiar with the environment of the underworld...?

Lao Liu noticed their gazes on him, but turned a blind eye to him. He looked at Fu Lan and asked, "You, a person who betrayed Qinglian Temple early, what qualifications do you have to mention the establishment of Qinglian Temple?"

"Hey, what you said is that I'm just wandering around, so why did you talk about rebellion?" Fu Lan put on his rogue and ruffian look again, but his words were hidden, "You don't know me, how do you know that I am with Qinglian? origin?"

Old Liu didn't admit that he knew Fu Lan just now, but now he changed his attitude and looked at Fu Lan coldly.

"Jin Shu, I think the rumor about Uncle Liu you told me is definitely not true." He Tang said to Yang Jinshu, "Although the persona of a cunning businessman fits Uncle Liu very well, in the rumor Uncle Liu He died of a sudden illness, and his children were busy fighting for the family property, leaving only the old housekeeper to bury him...it is untenable! You see, he is dressed so well, and he ordered the first-class embroidered clothes from the Baishi Shop under Qinglianguan Mountain. Worker Shroud, could it be that he thought he knew how to travel and die suddenly on the road?"

"This..." Yang Jinshu also felt that the rumors were very untenable.

"Yes." Shenzhu suddenly said, "If he can count the five elements well, he can calculate his own fate."

He Tang was surprised: "Huh? Then...you can too?"

Shen stick nodded, frowned and said: "Isn't it because I calculated my own fate that I got involved in Qinglian Temple..."

"..." He Tang covered his mouth, he really couldn't lift any pot, the magic stick's extremely accurate fortune-telling skill was indeed a bit... hard to describe.

Speaking of this, Lao Liu finally stopped pretending to be dumb, and said slowly: "I, like the magic stick, have extremely high talents in the five elements and eight trigrams. Back then, I admired the reputation of Qinglian Guan and wanted to worship under him, but was turned away."

He Tang complained: "Usually, this kind of beginning means that a grievance in the world is about to kick off..."

Yang Jinshu patted him on the head and warned: "Listen quietly."

He Tang pursed his mouth, knowing that he was becoming unseasonably lively again, so he had to close his mouth and listen to the story obediently.

Before the Qinglian Temple was built, one of the three patriarchs died, and one wandered away, leaving only the master of the magic stick, and the later founder of the mountain insisted on being a real person.

The dao name of Zhirenren is very interesting, it was chosen by Fu Lan for him.

The three of them were originally idle cultivators, but they got together by chance and became close friends. It was very easy to talk about the law and the Tao. Later, the eldest brother suddenly had the idea of ​​establishing a sect, and Fu Lan hated him for asking for it. Troublesome, reluctant, but the second brother feels that it is very regrettable that no one can succeed him, so it is better to accept a few disciples to preach and teach.

Fu Lan is the youngest, seeing that the two elder brothers have made up their minds, they can only help together.

The three found a hilltop with beautiful mountains and rivers and few people, and started to build a house. It took many years to build it.After the eldest brother passed away, Fu Lan helped the second brother for a few more years, but the mountain was really boring, so he proposed to go down the mountain for a wandering. He invited the second brother to go with him, but the second brother insisted on fulfilling the wish of the eldest brother and established a sect here.

Fulan's repeated persuasion was ineffective, so she became annoyed, and said, "Since second brother, you are such a dead-headed person, why don't you just call him a real person!"

Unexpectedly, when the second brother heard it, he smiled and said: "This is a good name, I like it very much."

Fu Lan lost his temper, so he simply left him alone on the mountain to beat and build a house, and went out to wander by himself.

After wandering around for many years, he heard that the Qinglian Temple had been built, and that Daoist Zhuang had accepted a few disciples. He happened to pass by, so he thought of going to have a look. Unexpectedly, he ran into Lao Liu who was rejected by Daoist Zhuang Scenes.

At that time, Lao Liu was already middle-aged. Although the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams talents were extremely high, there were not many possibilities for practicing Taoism.The real person insisted to reject him at the beginning, and it was also out of good intentions - the five elements and gossip, the real person insisted that he has nothing to teach him, but Lao Liu has no talent in Taoism and spells, and he is old, so if he practiced rashly, he might go off the rails Bewitched, go astray, and harm oneself.

There was no room for change in the matter of apprenticeship. Lao Liu was originally a merchant, so he settled down in Shanxia County and started a business.

Fu Lan didn't take this matter to heart, and secretly went up the mountain to visit the real person Zhiyi, but saw the real person Zhizhi teaching his disciples to grow vegetables and weeds. Fu Lan, who wanted to have a drink with his second brother, stopped abruptly. If he stays in Qinglian Temple in the future, he will not only help teach his disciples, but also raise chickens and farms, and then wave his sleeves and leave. He would rather wander around than raise chickens on the mountain!

A few years later, Fulan met a fierce ghost, who was treacherous and cunning, and coveted his whole body of Taoism, and tried to kill him, but Fulan was not a cheap lamp. I have dealt with all kinds of ghosts for many years, not only did not fall into the trap, but I wanted to take that ghost and refine it to improve my cultivation.

One person, one ghost, you come and I have been fighting for more than a year. From the deep mountains and old forests to the vast fields, from the vast white snow to the scorching sun, each of them has improved a lot of cultivation in the middle of the fight. Naturally, each of them has been injured, but they are still on par. There is no result.

Seeing that the fight was unsuccessful, the ghost began to persuade him.The art of ghosts is more suitable for the practice of resenting ghosts, but Fu Lan is very talented and has a perverse temperament. Being a ghost can make a difference more than being a human.Although Fu Lan knew that what he said was reasonable, but the feeling of being a human being was too enjoyable, how could he be willing to lose his life and become a ghost?With a sneer, he ignored it.

At this moment, he met Lao Liu again.

But the second time he met, Lao Liu was already dead, he had become a ghost, and he was very hostile. He was not the sincere and kind middle-aged businessman he met for the first time.When Lao Liu heard that ghost say that Fu Lan was very talented, he became murderous.He didn't know where he got the demonic energy, and his mana was much higher than that cunning ghost.He cooperated with the ghost and exhausted Fu Lan's spiritual power. He threw him into the well where he stayed overnight, covered him with three soul-suppressing locks, and drowned him alive.

When Fu Lan was struggling in the well, he heard the scream of the ghost, and his heart tightened, knowing that the ghost was more or less ominous.Old Liu was able to devour that cunning and fierce ghost, so he must be no ordinary evil ghost.

Fu Lan was calculated by their joint efforts, and died as a ghost, with great resentment. However, with the lesson learned from the evil ghost, although Fu Lan became a water ghost, he did not leave his body hastily, but was trapped in the water, dormant quietly.Lao Liu waited outside the well all night but did not see him coming out, so he tried several tricks to lure him to show up.Fulan is not one of those new-timers. He naturally knows that going out at this time will definitely become Lao Liu's dinner. In addition, although his spiritual power as a human has disappeared, he has become a ghost and has become a spirit body. With the accumulation of skills, he abruptly set ten talismans in the well, nailing his soul firmly in the well.

Lao Liu couldn't wait for him to appear, and left at sunrise the next day.

But later, Fu Lan wanted to escape from the well, but found that the soul-suppressing lock under the old Liu's cover actually prevented him from escaping.I don't know what kind of power the soul-suppressing lock has, no matter what he does, he can only be trapped in the well. Even though his body has been found by the inn staff and reported to the government, his soul can't leave for a long time.

He has been trapped in the well for decades, silently cultivating the ghost way, half of his soul was destroyed due to several dangerous ghost techniques, and he only waited for one day when he could leave the narrow and cramped well and start anew. He came to the world—and then, suddenly one day, a child without a soul passed by. He seemed to be attracted by some kind of attraction, and enduring the pain of his soul hitting the lock of the soul, he released an illusion to lure the child over.

"Xiao Wu..." He Tang murmured.

No matter what, he never thought that Fu Lan was Zhu Xiaowu's doom in the dark.
