As the saying goes, if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably go to hell.
Su Jinzhi would not have cared about this sentence in the past, but the new world that No. 1 gave him was a supernatural world. Coupled with his physique, once he walks at night, he will not hit a ghost. Disaster.
The small sedan chair he is currently sitting on was specially made by a well-known craftsman hired by the Su family. It can accommodate two people sitting down. It is soft and comfortable, and it is stable. You can't feel any bumps when you sit on it. The side of the sedan chair is soaked in cinnabar. The red thread is wrapped with a small red edge to ward off evil spirits; two bright yellow lanterns are lit in front of the sedan chair to illuminate the way.
A Ping was holding a handful of white paper money in his hand, throwing out a stack every few steps, and whispering in his mouth: "Great money for the ghosts, the ghost sent big brothers to make way—"
The moon is as big as a disk, and the night is starless.
A small sedan chair with red borders walks in the middle of the road like a ghost. If such a strange situation falls into the eyes of others, they may think that some family has invited a Taoist priest to drive the corpse back to the hometown. home law.
Su Jinzhi regretted it as he walked, if he brought along the Yang San Miss Fang with him, then he wouldn't have to be so cowardly tonight, and he wouldn't walk at night again next time he said anything.
There was a sound of "woo—" from nowhere, and Su Jinzhi's heart beat wildly two or three times. He sat in the sedan chair with his eyes closed, not daring to open his eyes and lift up the bead curtain made of cinnabar stones to take a look at the situation outside. .
"Third Master!" A Ping's voice changed suddenly, and he retreated to the sedan window and whispered to Su Jinzhi, "Third Master, we have encountered the black head of the moon."
Moon black head is a popular term for clouds covering the moon. It refers to the night when there is a moon at night, but it appears and disappears from time to time and is blocked by clouds. In such a night, it is extremely easy to encounter unclean things when walking at night.
"Let's continue walking when the moon comes out, and stop when the moon is gone." Su Jinzhi took a deep breath, "Be careful, don't let the fire in the lantern go out."
Ah Ping nodded and said, "Yes, Third Master."
The small sedan chair stopped and went, and when the moon emerged from the clouds, they stepped on their footsteps and walked heavily. When the sky suddenly darkened, they stopped again, but the further they walked, the leaves on the roadside or the tall buildings cast rain. The larger the shadow block, gradually occupying half of the main road.
When walking at night, you should avoid walking in the shadows, because these dark places hide dirt and may encounter shadow ghosts. However, shadow ghosts generally only like to follow the shadows of people walking alone, and there are many people on Su Jinzhi's side, and because of his physique, every night like this, he is very likely to run into the aisle of ghost soldiers!
The passage of Yin soldiers is the situation where ghost messengers hook their souls to go to the underworld and pass through the road.
When strangers encounter such a situation, they must lower their heads and stand aside. They must not raise their heads or look back, otherwise they may be taken away by Yin soldiers.
The moment this idea entered Su Jinzhi's mind, the surrounding area of the mainland suddenly became quiet, without any insects and noises, and the silence was so deadly that it made one's heart shudder.
The flame of the lantern in front of the sedan fluttered twice, then went out in a rustle, and a small wisp of white smoke rose.
Ah Ping stopped throwing paper money, and the bearers looked at the white-clothed Yin soldiers who suddenly appeared at the front of the road, trembling all over as if shaking, and said with a trembling voice: "Third, third master...the evil soldiers are passing …”
"Stop the sedan chair, you guys hurry up." Su Jinzhi still didn't open his eyes, but moved his finger to the copper coin on his wrist, "Don't worry about me."
Ah Ping and the bearers knew that in such a situation, they could not help the third master at all, so they could only lower their heads and quickly spread out to stand on both sides of the road.
Su Jinzhi couldn't get out of the sedan chair. Once he got out of the sedan chair, the heavy Yin Qi on his body would make the Yin soldiers think that he was dead too, and thus snatch away his soul. The reason why Su Jinzhi came to Yuanshen was because the last time when the moon was dark, Yuanshen encountered the passage of Yin soldiers. The passage of Yin soldiers was extremely powerful. The soldiers who went out to join the army in Qingzhen died in battle. They almost took their souls back to their hometown, but they didn't expect to bump into the original body who had just finished a business and walked home at night. The ghost messenger was hooked away.
Su Jinzhi now only hopes that there will not be too many ghosts passing by the ghost soldiers this time. He would rather die of illness than try what it feels like to be taken away by a ghost messenger to die.
Fortunately, the Yinbing aisle was not very crowded this time. Su Jinzhi closed his eyes tightly, listening to the sounds of ghosts' clothes hunting and chains colliding on their ankles gradually receding. The sound of the bead curtains colliding, these bead curtains are tempered with mana, and they will only make a sound when they touch the ghost energy-the curtains of the sedan chair were lifted by the Yin soldiers.
I don't know if it's because his body and soul have been out of the body for a period of time, which made him carry more yin, Su Jinzhi's goosebumps exploded suddenly, and he opened his eyes horribly, and saw A red-eyed Yin soldier stared at the ghost, bared his teeth angrily and stretched out his hand to grab him!
That battle clearly mistook him for a ghost who died but opportunistically refused to go to the underworld to re-enter reincarnation!
Su Jinzhi took a deep breath, No. 0 and No. 1 were not there and no one was controlling his body. Relying on the subconscious memory of this body, Su Jinzhi took off the copper coins on his wrist and turned his hands to shoot at the Yin soldiers, intending to fight to the death. a handful.
However, before he could move, a deep male voice frightened the Yin soldier away—
"what happened?"
The Yin soldiers and wandering souls roared hoarsely, the sound of the chains colliding hurriedly disappeared, and the crowing of insects and the crowing of chickens and the sound of the wind returned to Su Jinzhi's ears. It also disappeared without a trace, as if the scene he saw just now was an illusion.
But Su Jinzhi's heartbeat was still pounding against his chest, as if he could hit his ribs every time. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain in front of the sedan chair, and looking forward, he saw some soldiers in military uniform stopped at him. Not far in front of the sedan chair.
The leading general was dressed in a plain black military uniform, with a cold expression, his sharp-edged facial features were extremely deep, but there was a hideous scar on his face from between his brows to the corner of his mouth, and his dark gray eyes looked like a man-eating abyss. Just looking at it can make people feel cold and tremble all over, not to mention the bloody aura around him that seems to be solidified - that is the aura that can only be gathered after killing thousands of people, such a fierceness that even gods and ghosts avoid No wonder you can scare off the Yin soldiers.
However, Su Jinzhi was not afraid of him at all. Instead, he opened his eyes wide, staring at the man with a thousand affections in his eyes, and silently said in his heart: Xie Lincheng...
Xie Lincheng quelled the rebellion in the three provinces outside, and he stabilized the power of his army. He planned to go home and rest for a few days, but he received the news that his grandfather was seriously ill and asked him to rush back to Qingzhen to visit his grandfather within three days. In order not to waste time, Xie Lincheng rode on his horse at sunrise on the first day he received the letter, passed through two big towns, and finally returned to his hometown of Qingzhen before sunrise on the second day.
But I didn’t want to encounter such a weird scene——a small red sedan was parked alone in the middle of the road, and the two lanterns hanging in front of the sedan were extinguished, if it weren’t for the paper money flying all over the sky behind the sedan and the brown wooden sedan chair. He thought it was some kind of wedding sedan chair abandoned by others.
He subconsciously opened his mouth to read a sentence, but the paper money dancing wildly behind the sedan chair suddenly lost its strength and fell lightly to the ground. The crimson car curtain is very beautiful-it turns out that there are people sitting in the sedan chair.
Xie Lincheng looked at the young man in the sedan chair without blinking his eyes, raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, staring at the young man's soft and delicate face with great interest.
"Third Lord! Are you alright?" Seeing that the Yin soldiers had dispersed, Ah Ping and the bearer hurried back to the sedan chair to check if Su Jinzhi was okay.
Su Jinzhi came back to his senses, only to realize that there was some white light in the sky, and it was dawn.
Xie Lincheng had just regained the three provinces and became the marshal of the army in the south of the Yangtze River. He has made many enemies and always followed people to prevent anyone from being assassinated. The soldiers behind him saw the strange appearance of Su Jinzhi and his bearer, and they thought it was some new style. The killers raised their guns at them one after another.
"Third Lord, this..." Although Ah Ping and the others couldn't guess Xie Lincheng's identity, they knew that they were not easy to mess with, and they became anxious when they saw this situation.
Su Jinzhi lowered his head and smiled. This person looks exactly like Xie Shu, but his name is Xie Lincheng.
The famous Marshal Xie in the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.
He has memories in this world, so he has naturally heard of Xie Lincheng's name. He knows that he looks fierce and can stop children from crying at night, but he has never seen him. The list of rescue missions given by No. 1, Su Jinzhi just opened up in this world. When he opened his eyes, he knew who he was waiting for.
"Thank you, Marshal Xie Jinzhi." He came out of the sedan chair with the help of Aping. Because of the whole night of fear, his complexion is extremely bad now, his lips and face are almost as pale, but just like this, he still has an elegant and dusty temperament , "Thank you, Marshal, for saving your life."
Xie Lincheng heard the words, raised his brows again, and said, "Thank you for saving your life, when did I save you?"
The young man raised his head, and looked at him with soft eyes again: "The marshal met me, it is the grace of saving my life."
A Ping and the bearers were all stunned by Su Jinzhi's series of statements. Su Jinzhi said Xie Marshal, and they knew Xie Lincheng's identity. He was rescued after Xie Lincheng appeared.
People in Qingzhen know that the third master of the Su family is elegant, handsome, and gentle, but he is cold and indifferent to people he doesn't know well. They have been serving the third master Su for a while, and this is the first time they have seen him treat a first-timer. The people they met for the first time were so gentle, if they didn't know the third master well, they would have thought that third master Su was trying to curry favor with the new marshal.
However, what Su Jinzhi said was too ambiguous, and Xie Lincheng's subordinates were also dumbfounded when they heard it, wondering who this person is, why did he want to look like a marshal when he came here? But their marshal has never been close to people, and his temper is very bad, especially those things that stick to them. Just when they thought that the marshal was going to call people out coldly like before, the marshal finally spoke: "Then how will you repay me?"
Su Jinzhi wanted to say that I promised him with my body, but then he would be ruined, and No. 1 would definitely show him more ghosts. Su Jinzhi admits that he is cowardly, so he can only untie his red string copper coin and hand it over to A Ping, asking him to hand it to the adjutant next to Xie Lincheng, with a soft voice: "I see that the marshal has a dark air lingering between his brows. Things,
If Marshal encounters something dirty, he can come to the Su family to look for me with this object, and Jin Zhi will definitely help him. "
What Su Jinzhi said was true. Xie Lincheng was full of blood and hostility coming out of a pile of dead people. Although it didn't protect him, ghosts and evil things didn't dare to approach him. He was always the only one who wanted others to die, but even In this way, there was still a considerable amount of black air between his brows, which foreshadowed an ominous omen.
It definitely can't be something wrong with him, that is, someone in his family is about to die, and judging by the intensity of the blackness... I am afraid that more than one person will die.
Xie Lincheng was also very surprised by Su Jinzhi's answer, he never lacked beauties around him, and he recruited people who were sent by those who wanted to curry favor with him, and threw them all into the yard of his home to be raised with his servants. Let the seriously ill mother be happy, save the mother from worrying that there is no one around him all day long, and no one will accompany him when she goes. But Xie Lincheng never went to the backyard to spend the night, nor did he allow these people to get too close to him, let alone wander around in his house at will. Once they were found, they would all be beaten up and driven out of Xie's house without showing any sympathy.
Later, after his mother died along with his father, Xie Lincheng directly drove away all these miscellaneous people, and those who refused to leave stayed behind as servants of his Xie family. eat.
However, now Xie Lincheng has an inexplicable affection for this young man, thinking that if he also said that he wanted to be by his side like those people, then maybe he would not refuse... Well, let him enter his house again, He also does it for nothing.
But the posture of the young man looks more like the appearance of some masters when they say they want to tell fortunes and solve problems for others
Xie Lincheng took the red-threaded copper coin from the adjutant with a smile, and when he looked up again, he saw that the young man had already returned to the red-edged sedan chair, and was carried by the bearer to avoid his army and walked to the side. The pair of jade-white slender fingers lifted the bead curtain made of red beads, and smiled at him with the corners of the lips curled up. There seemed to be a thousand lights in the tea-colored pupils, sparkling and rippling. In an instant, Xie Lincheng's heart skipped a beat. Two beats.
"Jin Zhi... Su Family Jin Zhi..." Xie Lincheng stroked the red-lined copper coin with his fingers. The whole body of the copper coin was extremely smooth. It must have been rubbed carefully by someone. He whispered the name that person said, and turned to ask the adjutant, "who is he?"
Although Xie Lincheng's hometown is in Qingzhen, only his grandfather and some relatives from the branch live here. He lived with his parents in Rongcheng since he was a child and rarely came back. This time, if his grandfather hadn't been seriously ill and had to come back to preside over some important events in Xie's family, he would not have come to Qingzhen, and naturally he would have never heard of Su Jinzhi's name.
But Xie Lincheng heard his young men call him "Third Master", and felt that he should also have some face and status, but he didn't know why he sat in a red-edged sedan chair in the middle of the road early in the morning.
But if he has status, he is more worthy of him.
But the adjutant was also from other provinces, and he didn't know Su Jinzhi's name, so he shook his head to show that he didn't know anything.
Xie Lincheng had a bad temper and was moody, so he immediately lowered his face: "What do you want?"
The adjutant kept complaining, but fortunately, among the soldiers brought by Xie Lincheng this time, there was someone from Qingzhen who took a step forward and reported, "Commander! I know!"
"Then tell me." The corners of Xie Lincheng's lips curled up slightly, waiting for the soldier to reveal the identity of the young man.
"A crabapple on his shoulder, and a copper coin with red thread on his wrist..." Xiao Bing's first two sentences were still powerful, but the last two sentences became weaker, "...that Mr. is the most famous ghost-hunting master in Qingzhen, Mr. Su..."
Really a master
Xie Lincheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't believe this, there were many Fengshui masters in Rongcheng, and the fortune teller told him to show him Fengshui fortune telling, but he never saw him, but he unexpectedly met a ghostbuster master today
But young people are more interesting than those people.
"Ghostbuster master?" Xie Lincheng tightly held the small copper coin in his hand, and let out a chuckle of unknown meaning from his throat.
"Alas..." Su Jinzhi sighed while sitting in the sedan chair.
"Third Master..." Ah Ping heard his sigh, and thought that Su Jinzhi was thinking about his red-threaded copper coin, "You sent your magic weapon to the commander, so what are you going to do..."
But Su Jinzhi sighed, just because he was thinking about what he was going to sleep later. Hearing what Aping said, he explained: "It's okay, the reward from Fang's family is enough for me for a long time. It just so happens that I'm staying at home with my mother to recuperate. Besides..."
Su Jinzhi raised the corners of his lips: "The red thread copper coin will be back soon."
The red-edged sedan chair stopped at the gate of Su's house, and before it settled down, a woman in a fine attire rushed out, shouting "heart and soul", and pulled Su Jinzhi, who had just shown her head, into her arms.
Su Jinzhi said helplessly, "Mother..."
"Oh, my heart and soul, my little Tang'er..." Mother Su held Su Jinzhi's face and looked at the dark and red eyes in his eyes, "I haven't slept all night, seeing my baby's haggard face Of... follow me to bed!"
As Mother Su said, she took Su Jinzhi's hand and walked home. After going around a few small corridors, she entered a room with white silk hanging outside.
As soon as the door opened, the scene inside was revealed.
This is a very strange bedroom. There is no carved wooden bed, no round table of eight immortals, no landscape screen, only a stone tomb made of gray stone. The eight big characters pierced into people's eyes.
Su Jinzhi slept in this tomb every night.
The third young master of the Su family, Jin Zhi, was smart and handsome since he was a child, but because of his light horoscope and overweight Yin Qi, he was often haunted by evil things when he was young, weak and sick, and had signs of early death. The Su family traveled all over the country, and finally found a well-known Zhuge Ziqing, the Taoist priest, was declared not to live long enough to be crowned.
And this year is the nineteenth year.
Su Jinzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the words on the tombstone.
What Taoist Zhuge Ziqing said is indeed correct, the original body did not live past the age of the crown, and the one living in this body now is another Su Jinzhi.
