Ah Fu and Ah Xiu have also learned how to ride a horse now. But they can only ride paper horses, real horses are not scared to death by them, they will be too scared to move.
In the evening, when the sun was setting, Yu Qingyao came to the foot of a mountain, and she was about to rest on the spot.
A young beggar came to meet him, bowed his head and said, "Good-natured fairy, I know there is a family in front of me, I can take you to live there."
Axiu took a closer look and recognized it. This is the little beggar who gave money in the small town but didn't even say thank you. She was very relieved, and felt that he was grateful for not helping the young man in vain. She smiled and said, "Thank you, it's not good to disturb others at such a late hour. Let's just stay in the wild for one night."
The young beggar bowed his head and said, "That won't work. There are wild beasts in the wild, so it's not safe. I'll take you there, follow me!"
With that said, he came over to hold the reins of Yu Qingyao's horse.
When Axiu saw her, she asked Yu Qingyao at a loss, "Ayao, what should I do?"
She didn't want to disturb others, and she didn't feel like taking advantage of the little beggar's kindness.
Yu Qingyao smiled and said: "Okay! Thank you for your hard work."
She meant yes.
A Xiu galloped over and said in a low voice, "A Yao, is it okay to disturb others so late?"
Yu Qingyao smiled and said: "It's okay, just give me more money then."
Axiu let out an oh, and didn't say any more.
Ah Fu always felt that the boy was weird. She looked in the direction the beggars were walking, and saw that he was leading them up the mountain.
Ah Fu probed to look ahead, the mountains and forests were dense, and he couldn't see what was ahead.
She thought about it, and wanted to look forward with her spiritual sense.
"Ah Fu, stop checking, Ah Zhen, fly to the sky to have a look." Yu Qingyao ordered secretly.
Ah Fu moved closer to his master. Ah Zhen flew into the air and looked into the mountains.
The road that the young beggar walks becomes more and more desolate as he goes forward. The road is overgrown with weeds and only one person can pass.
A-Zhen thought to herself: Is this a lie? There are people living in this kind of place
Looking in the direction the boy was heading, Ah Zhen found a large tomb. The age of the tomb was unknown, and the tombstones in front of the tomb were all broken and buried under the weeds. The tomb is covered with half-person-high weeds and many small trees. People who don't know it will think it is an ordinary hillside.
But A-Zhen is a crow, and she has another way of identifying graveyards, and she clearly sees a strong sense of death in her eyes.
After confirming that the young man was heading for the big tomb, Ah Zhen flew back to the master's shoulder and said via voice transmission: "Master, there is an ancient tomb three miles ahead. He is here to treat me to supper."
Yu Qingyao laughed and nodded slightly.
While walking, Axiu heard thunder in the boy's stomach, guessing that he was hungry. She pitifully took the package of jujube cakes she had just bought, jumped in front of the little beggar, and brought the cakes to him with a gentle smile, saying, "Are you hungry? Give it to you."
The little beggar lowered his head, took the cake silently, and walked forward while eating.
Axiu felt that she had done a good deed and came back happily.
Yu Qingyao smiled encouragingly at her.
Ah Zhen couldn't bear to look directly at her and turned her head, cursing secretly "mentally retarded!".
Ah Fu looked at Ah Zhen's expression of swallowing her saliva, and then at the master's inscrutable smile, and felt a chill in her heart.
Goudan led the horse up the mountain, and felt that the cake in his mouth was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life.
His long-cold heart actually felt a trace of human warmth.
Goudan is a little beggar who doesn't even remember his name. Since he was sensible, he has been wandering and begging. He came here three years ago, and in the spring of the second year, he went to this mountain to look for food. He walked to the ancient tomb ignorantly, but was caught by the old ghost inside.
The old ghost controlled him and forced him to bring someone to eat as blood.
As long as he wanted to escape, he would be tortured to the point where he would be in pain. If you fail to complete the task within the time limit, you will be tortured by evil spirits to the point of wanting to die. The old ghost controlled him with sorcery, and it was impossible for him to even inform the Taoist priest.
For more than a year, he was forced to cheat some beggars and homeless people to feed the old ghost, and even tricked some businessmen from other places to send him to death.
Recently, the deadline is approaching again. He set his sights on Yu Qingyao.
He saw that Yu Qingyao was a Taoist, and he was thinking, if this kind female Taoist has the ability, then kill that old ghost, and I will be free. If she is incapable, she can't blame me even if she dies.
Apart from Yu Qingyao being a Taoist, another main reason was that he felt that Yu Qingyao was kind-hearted and easy to deceive.
Sure enough, everything was as he had imagined, and he easily tricked these women into following him.
After walking for three miles on the mountain road, night fell.
Axiu got a little impatient and asked, "Hey, why haven't you arrived yet?"
Goudan looked ahead and said, "It's almost there, just turn a corner and we'll be there."
Axiu let out an ooh and stretched her neck to look forward.
Turning around a forest, Axiu saw a big house.
In front of the door stood two simple stone beasts, big brass nails were nailed on the big red door, and two big red lanterns were hung on the lintel. The plaque reads Dingwu General's Mansion. In front of the door stood four soldiers with broadswords on their waists, and two servants in gorgeous clothes.
Axiu opened her mouth wide, and said in disbelief, "Oh! There are generals here!"
She didn't expect that there was such a luxurious general's mansion in this barren mountain and wild place.
Ah Zhen swallowed her saliva and said, "Master, I'm hungry!"
Yu Qingyao smiled and said, "Go and eat when you're hungry!"
Hearing that the master agreed, Ah Zhen was overjoyed, and flew out like lightning, and flew to the door, one by one, two servants and four soldiers turned into a cloud of green smoke and flew into her mouth.
After eating the six ghosts at the gate, Ah Zhen flew into the general's mansion.
Axiu exclaimed when she saw it: "Ah!"
Seeing Ah Zhen's strange eating behavior, Ah Xiu suddenly understood. She looked at Yu Qingyao and asked in surprise, "Are there ghosts in this general's mansion?"
Yu Qingyao nodded with a smile, and said: "They are all evil spirits who have been eating people for many years, and there is no cure."
Ah Xiu said angrily: "That's it! I'll go help Ah Zhen!"
As she said that, she jumped off the horse and wanted to rush in. After taking a step, she jumped back, pointed at the little beggar angrily and said, "Hey, are you trying to harm us on purpose?"
Now she wanted to understand that this little beggar had no good intentions for them. He obviously knew that there were evil spirits eating people here, but he didn't say anything, and brought them here at night. He dared to bring them here at night, not afraid of being eaten by the evil spirits, obviously he had colluded with the evil spirits inside.
Thinking of this, Ah Xiu's lungs almost exploded. A Yao gave him money and advised him to learn well, and she even gave him cakes to eat. The results of it? It didn't happen at all, but the other party took them to the den of evil ghosts. How vicious is the heart of this little beggar!
Goudan saw that the strange bird ate six evil spirits at once, and felt bad.
Originally, he was going to pretend not to know, but when the three women entered the mansion, he quietly hid aside and watched the success or failure.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qingyao killed the ghost as soon as he reached the door, and he didn't have time to slip away.
