The Journey of Flower

Chapter 41: 41. Two ghosts fight

Views:

All three of them were dumbfounded now, you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't realize what happened for a while.

Hua Qiangu secretly screamed in his heart that it was terrible, he must be eaten by a ghost now. Looking at the corpses of birds all around, I couldn't help but feel nauseous. Forcing himself not to spit it out, Xin Dao seems to be unable to hide this time, with one against two, he may not necessarily be their opponent. Fortunately, these two are not low-level ghosts who are full of resentment and will bite people when they jump up. It's better to bluff them, maybe they can escape.

He widened his eyes and shouted: "Who is his grandma's disturbing Ben to sleep!"

The two ghosts were stunned at the same time, and they were taken aback by her fierceness. Isn't this a little yellow-haired girl, she looks only twelve or thirteen years old, smells like she's still a human being, but puts on an appearance of being the only one in the world, pulling and begging for beatings.

"We are fighting martial arts here, you little girl came out to make trouble, disturbed the interest, eat it, eat it!" Skull was feeling frustrated that he had lost the competition, and was worried that he had no place to vent.

Hua Qiangu took the lead, and the Duan Nian sword swished out and chopped off the skull's wrist.

The two ghosts were immediately dumbfounded, they saw that Hua Qiangu was too young to be on guard at all, but suddenly there was a flash of purple light and cold air, and it was too late to take precautions, allowing Hua Qiangu to attack successfully in one fell swoop.

Skull looked at his hand bouncing on the ground and quickly picked it up and put it on, with two drops of sweat on his forehead.

"You actually want to eat me, I see you two little ghosts are getting impatient! If you dare to speak disrespect again, I will beat you to death!"

When Niutou saw this little girl, she seemed to have some origins. Although she couldn't tell how much she had for the time being, the fairy sword alone was already an ancient treasure.

He couldn't help being respectful and said: "Dare to ask who is your Excellency? I offended you just now, please forgive me."

Hua Qiangu's legs were shaking so much that he could hardly stand up straight, so he casually sat down on the altar and put his foot on the table: "That's right, didn't your parents teach you to be polite when you are a human being, and be polite if you are a ghost!" Ah, you can’t be too domineering, right? I’m the head of Immortal Maoshan, Hua Qiangu!”

As soon as the words fell, there was no sound in the ruined temple. The Maoshan school has always been the most powerful in catching ghosts and subduing demons, so it is also the most feared by ghosts, but it is a bit unbelievable that such a small girl claims to be the head of Maoshan.

The skull hugged its belly and laughed hahaha. It dropped its teeth to the ground and was still gurgling up and down. He quickly picked it up and stuffed it back into his mouth. It seems that I still can't often dismember myself for fun, the parts are not working well, and they always fall off by themselves.

Hua Qiangu took off his shoe and smashed it on his head, saying in a vicious voice, "What are you laughing at! Do you see what this is?"

The bull head and the skull head hurried forward, but they saw Hua Qiangu's palm turned over, a snow-white palace feather appeared in her hand, and at the same time, the red seal of the sect leader flashed across her eyebrows.

The two ghosts were so frightened that they immediately bowed down: "Ah, you little ones don't know Taishan, but you have seen the head of Maoshan!"

"Hey, get up." Hua Qiangu tilted his legs, a little proud in his heart, hehe, it turned out to be so easy to settle, it seems that it is quite beneficial to have the title of Sect Leader.

Niutou said: "I didn't expect the head of Maoshan to be so, so young... promising!"

Hua Qiangu knew that she was too young, and Er Gui still wasn't completely convinced.

So he activated his zhenqi, and a burst of intense colored light suddenly shot out from his body, which surged several meters away, scaring the two ghosts to lie on the ground again.

"Did you see! I am over a hundred years old, I have already cultivated the immortal body, and I have a hundred years of immortal power. I just like to turn myself into such a young and beautiful appearance. Can you control me!" Hehe, with a hundred years of immortality Xianli is real, but it's a pity that she still doesn't know how to be an envoy at all!

The two ghosts nodded vigorously, convinced with admiration, and said: "We two ghosts took advantage of the ghost festival to go out of the underworld. We wanted to compete in rhythm, but we didn't expect to disturb the head of the rest. It's damn damn, but we have never done it. For harming the affairs of the world, the Lord Sect Master will be merciful!"

Hua Qiangu nodded, and said solemnly: "I'm not here to catch ghosts, I just passed by here. You are here crying and howling, playing with melody! Well, what's the result of the competition, who won!"

Niutou stepped forward proudly and said: "Go back to the head, the little one won."

"So what if you win?"

"If he wins, he will have to listen to the little one and work for the little one."

Hua Qiangu glanced at him, it seems that he is a bull, right

"Although he beats you by a margin, his melody is no worse than yours. You are just taking advantage of the instrument. The Wuyan flute was originally made for Ai Ji Wanxiang by the Immortal of Music. After Wanxiang died, this flute was left behind in the world. Legend has it This flute is stained with the blood of Wanxiang and Xilexian, it is full of spiritual power, not a little evil, the sound of the flute can communicate with ghosts and gods, this competition is unfair."

When the skull heard her speak for him, he couldn't help rolling his long tongue out of his mouth with excitement.

When Niutou saw her explain the origin of Xiao, he couldn't help admiring him even more, and nodded again and again: "The master said it is very true."

"Would you like to have a competition with me? If you win, I will give you the Xiao score of "Five Nights Song" written by the music-loving fairy."

When Niutou heard it, his eyes were as big as copper bells, he was obsessed with flute, and tried every means to get this flute, if he could get the world-renowned flute score, he would really be grateful, so he nodded repeatedly: "Then what if I lose? "

"If you lose, it's the same as the rules when you competed with him before, and you have to obey my orders and do things for me. So if you lose, both of you have to obey me, so Is it fair?"

"Okay, okay!" The two nodded together, Niutou wanted to get Xiaopu, and Skull wanted Hua Qiangu to vent his anger on his behalf, and he listened to a more powerful person who was the head of Maoshan, so naturally he would be more majestic. !

"Okay!" Hua Qiangu was very playful, she had never really used what the secret master taught her, so this time it was an experiment. These two ghosts have a simple and straightforward personality, the fear in her heart has almost gone, and she just finds it interesting.

With a thought in her mind, she was already holding the Lingji Qin given to her by Master Xu Dingli.

"let us start!"

Hua Qiangu knew that her true energy would not last as long as the opponent's, and she had to fight quickly, and the bull's head just sounded. After Hua Qiangu twitched and plucked, there was a rapid string strumming.

Because he had just seen the competition between him and the skull, he already knew the broken sound, the weak sound, and the weak sound in his flute sound. In addition, he had just fought a battle, crying blood and playing, and his internal strength had not yet recovered. Hua Qiangu's voice is not in the tune, it has no rhythm at all, it sounds like a city wall collapsing, birds and beasts neighing, knives and guns blasting, it's really unbearable to hear.

Skull took off his ears and covered them tightly in his arms, and sat down to adjust his breathing unbearably.

Hua Qiangu was the last one to sweep across, like gold and stone hitting each other, the sound of the zither poured directly into the Wuyan flute, sealing its air holes, and the Wuyan flute could no longer make a sound.

"I lost, and I will be at the mercy of the sect master from now on." Niutou lowered his head sadly, because his skills were not as good as others, even if he lost, he would be convincing, but it was a pity for the xiao score.

The skull happily bowed to Hua Qiangu, and finally he didn't have to listen to that bull, otherwise his face would be put on his face.

Hua Qiangu's internal energy was damaged too much, but she was really happy in her heart. Putting away the idea, he took out two other books from the ruins cauldron, one for the bull head and one for the skull head.

"Since you are now my people, I will naturally not treat you badly. Take this "Five Nights Song" and "Sound of Weeping" back and practice slowly!"

The second ghost bowed to her excitedly and moved.

"By the way, I haven't asked your origins and names yet!"

Niutou said: "He and I are both officials and servants in the underworld. Because it has been too long, there is only a serial number, and I have long forgotten my name. If you feel that it is inconvenient to call you, you can give it to us. Get a name."

Hua Qiangu smiled and said: "Okay, then one of you can be called Xiaohong and the other Xiaobai."

The two ghosts froze for a moment, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces, they were evil ghosts anyway, how could they be called by such cute names, wouldn't it be a loss of prestige to be heard by others. But since it was taken by the master, so be it, at least they also have names.

So Shuang Shuang said happily: "Thank you for the name, head."

"Hey, no need, no need, it is said that the ghost gate will be open for seven days, right?"

"Yes, we will stay in Yangjian for seven days to obey the orders of the head. If there is anything in the future, as long as the head calls, we will be there."

"Okay, okay! Great! Well, you have been hiding by my side for the past seven days, and if any monster or kid dares to bother me, you two will drive them away for me!"

"No problem, there is no brat in this world who dares to act presumptuously when he sees us as a ghost messenger, please rest assured, Sect Leader!"

"Oh yeah, that's great! This is really once and for all, ah ha ha ha ha!" Hua Qiangu twisted up triumphantly, "Okay, okay, I've been exhausted all day and I'm going to sleep now, you guys Hold the door for me, don't let a little devil come within ten feet of me."

"yes!"

Hua Qiangu was finally relieved and bold enough to no longer need to sleep on the beams of the room, lit a fire, lay down on the pile of straw, and fell asleep soundly.

------------

The next day, I drove all day and came to a small town at night. Although Hua Qiangu couldn't see Xiaohong and Xiaobai, she knew that they were always protecting her, so she was not disturbed by ghosts at all.

Feeling hungry, I was about to find a restaurant to eat something, but discovered an amazing fact—she left in such a hurry that she didn't bring any money! ! !

"Are you looking for this?"

Suddenly seeing a tree branch dangling in front of her purse, Hua Qiangu grabbed it in surprise, haha, now there is something to eat!

Looking up, he saw Shuo Feng sitting on a roadside tree with his face masked, his money bag tied to the branch with a line, waiting to catch her big fish.

"Why are you here?"

"You think I want to be here! It's not because my master is worried about you alone and insists on letting me come out to protect my little uncle!"

"Hehe, Brother Eleven is so kind, where is my Tang Bao?"

"It was going to follow, but the master coaxed it with sugar, saying that you will return to Maoshan and meet up in a few days. In fact, it is afraid that it will be in danger if it follows you, who loves to attract ghosts!"

"Tch, this little heartless bastard, he forgets about mom when he has candy. Hmph, I don't want to recruit ghosts now!"

"Why, have you learned any weird spells?"

"No, I just found two bodyguards." Hua Qiangu clapped her hands proudly, "Xiaohongxiaobai, come out!"

Immediately, a bull's head and a skull appeared in front of Shuo Feng.

"Master!"

"Hey, don't call me the sect master, just call me Qiangu! Come on, let me introduce you, hehe, this is my nephew!"

The second ghost saw that the masked man in front of him, his eyes were sharp, the slender and straight man was obviously much taller than Hua Qiangu, many years older, but it turned out to be her nephew! Sure enough, really good! After the two ghosts met, they disappeared again.

Hua Qiangu was so hungry that he dragged Shuo Feng to a restaurant for dinner. Shuo Feng watched her eat up all the leaves like the autumn wind sweeping them away, and while wiping the corners of his mouth, he commented that her skills were too poor.

It was already dark when the two came out of the restaurant, and basically all the shops on the street were closed. Every hundred steps in the middle of the street, there is an incense table, offering some fruits, food and wine.

"Hey, why is there no one on the street? The door is closed so early?"

"Because today is Ghost Festival, we have to give up the streets to ghosts."

"Oh, I've never gone out on ghost festivals. Usually, my father will send me to live in a nearby temple many days in advance."

"Then you haven't let off the water lamp?"

"Water lamp? What is it?"

"The ghost festival is also called the ghost festival, which is opposite to the Shangyuan festival. The Shangyuan festival is the Lantern Festival in the world. During the Lantern Festival, there are lanterns and festoons, lanterns, and guessing lantern fans. People think that the ghost festival should also be celebrated. Lanterns are for ghosts to celebrate, but there are differences between humans and ghosts. The way of lighting lanterns is different between the Ghost Festival and the Lantern Festival. Humans are Yang, ghosts are Yin; land is Yang, and water is Yin. The mysterious darkness under the water reminds people of the legendary Ghosts perish in the netherworld. Therefore, Shangyuan lanterns are on land, and Zhongyuan lanterns are in water. Therefore, on ghost festivals, people will release water lanterns to celebrate and guide the way for those unjust dead ghosts. When the lights are off, the water lanterns have completed the task of leading the ghosts across the Naihe Bridge."

"Wow! It's so fun! Let's put it on too!" Hua Qiangu ran a few steps forward, and sure enough, the shop selling paper money and water lamps was not closed yet. So I bought a lot and took them to the river.

The so-called water lamp is a lotus-shaped lamp made of colored paper tied on a small wooden board. Hua Qiangu thought of her parents, wrote a lot of small notes, and carefully put them into the water lamp. Then he and Shuo Feng lit them one by one and put them into the water.

With a cool breeze blowing, Hua Qiangu looked at countless water lamps converging into a star-like river, drifting further and further away in the coolness. My heart is inevitably sad, and I hope my parents can receive the grief and longing from her.

Turning his head to look at Shuofeng, he saw him staring at the water lamp drifting away motionlessly, his eyes were as black as ink, calm and unwavering.

"Aren't you going to write something?"

"What to write? I have neither relatives nor dead friends to mourn."

"What does it mean to have no relatives? Do you mean that no relatives have passed away?"

"Nothing is never there, so there is no such thing as dying or disappearing."

"How can there be no relatives? Everyone will have them. Parents will always have them. Otherwise, who gave birth to you and raised you?"

Shuo Feng stopped talking, and suddenly said after a while, "I am Monkey King."

"Huh?" Hua Qiangu was stunned, Xiami

"How could you be Sun Wukong? Sun Wukong is a monkey, but you are not a monkey!?" Hua Qiangu said excitedly.

Shuo Feng sighed: "You are a pig, I am telling a joke, do you understand the joke?"

Hua Qiangu hummed twice in a daze: "Hehe, this joke is so cold!"

Shuofeng suddenly pointed behind Hua Qiangu, and said in a normal tone, "Look what's behind you?"

"Ah!" Hua Qiangu screamed all over, throwing Shuo Feng to the ground while rolling and crawling, slapping herself behind him non-stop.

Shuo Feng couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so afraid of ghosts!"

Hua Qiangu had a mournful face, did she make a mistake, she actually used this to scare her, she was about to scold Xiaohong and Xiaobai, for being so disrespectful and loyal to her duty, she let a ghost haunt her again!

"You have been haunted by ghosts since you were a child, causing people around you to die, get injured, or become weak and sick. You are scared every day, hiding in hiding, and lying on the bed with corpse poison all year round. If you die, you will always be alone. If you feel alone, you will know why you are afraid!"

Shuo Feng's body trembled, seeing that she refused to grow up, she was still so thin, so small, she suddenly felt a little distressed. He didn't know that she had come back to life like this when she was a child. He couldn't help feeling guilty and warm in his eyes, and helped her up from the ground.

"What? Angry?"

"No." Hua Qiangu still looked behind her worriedly, "You don't know, in this world, I am most afraid of ghosts and masters!"

"Let me tell you, one day you will know that Your Majesty is much scarier than ghosts."

"No, don't look at my master. He is always cold and serious. In fact, he is very gentle and treats me well. No, the master sealed my Gouyu. Xiaohong and Xiaobai can't always If you are by my side, I must learn a few more sets of exorcism spells from Yun Yin."

Shuofeng looked at her and said earnestly: "The ghost you need to drive away most is in your heart, and it is called fear. Although it has been deeply ingrained for so many years, you have to remember that you have already had the ability to surpass ghosts. Don't be afraid of ghosts. Ghosts are naturally afraid of you. Aren’t Xiaohong and Xiaobai the best proof? His Majesty knew this, so he sealed Gouyu and let you come out to practice alone, don’t let him down!”

Hua Qiangu stared blankly at Shuo Feng's shining golden eyes, it turned out that what she needs to defeat most now is not ghosts, but herself...

Be sure to work hard, because, because you can't let the master down!

She nodded her head hard, and suddenly wanted to see Shuo Feng's stern or gentle face under the mask that was usually stern but now with such gentle eyes.

So on the way back to the inn.

"Can I see your face?"

"Can't."

"Can I see your face?"

"Can't!"

"Can I see your face?"

"Can't!!"

"Can I see your face?"

"I said no!"

"Just let me take a look, just one click. I don't scream when I'm ugly, I don't laugh when I'm funny, I don't drool when I'm handsome, and I don't tell anyone, okay?"

"No, no, no, no..."

The bright moon was in the sky, and a crow flew by. In other words, this ghost festival is not scary at all!
