Although they don't know the purpose of Yin Xiu and the others, this kid has been a ghost for many years after all. The so-called ghosts and ghosts naturally know that Yin Xiu is not joking. As for a kid like him who has no magic power at all, even if he wants to tease or scare others, he is powerless. He is obviously defenseless in front of these three people who look like Taoist priests. So don't ask for conditions from them, as long as they are willing to move their fingers and let him go like a fart, it will be great luck. Therefore, when the kid heard Yin Xiu asking him to choose between being a supernatural being or being a ghost, he didn't dare to think about anything at all. He just said solemnly: "Three immortal masters, kid, I just received a little incense." There is no sense of loyalty or master-servant relationship between those who help that person, you just ask the three of you." "I said, I appreciate you being so smart." Yin Xiu said that she wanted to pat the other person on the shoulder, but suddenly she remembered that the other person was a soul, so she naturally took her hand back and just looked at him. "Tell me, who asked you to do things?" Yin Xiu got straight to the point. "Actually, he's not a human either." The kid scratched his face. "not human?" Ma Xiaoyu's eyes flashed, "Is it a monster again?"
"Not even a monster." The kid shook his head. "It's not like he's an immortal, right?" Liu Banxian said in surprise. "Hey, why do immortals need to order lonely ghosts like me to do things? I heard that immortals are surrounded by heavenly soldiers and generals to protect them and provide them with orders." The kid still shook his head, his eyes clearly disappointed that these three people could not guess the answer to the riddle. Upon seeing this, Yin Xiu immediately lit a piece of talisman paper, emitting a dazzling golden light. "Hey, we are not here to guess riddles. If you ask us to guess randomly again, I will find other good brothers to help." Feeling the killing intent in Yin Xiu's tone and the terrifying power on the talisman, the kid immediately said nervously: "No, no, I told you, it was the local land grandfather who asked us to do something." "land?" Liu Banxian was quite surprised, "When did the land begin to drive lonely souls and wild ghosts?" Although the land does keep some little ghosts around and asks them to run errands and do things for him, those he recruits and drives are all with Dharmakaya. Even though the "Dharmakaya" is often just two clay sculptures next to the earth statue, or even an inconspicuous mound, it is still distinguished from the wandering ghosts and has completely different statuses. Moreover, this mountain doesn't look like a village. There are no incense offerings, so where would the land come from. After all, the land is not a god, it is just some kind of creature worshiped by people or a god who has been canonized after death. It is still very different from a serious god. Especially if time passes and no one comes to offer incense or repair the temple, the land will soon lose its power and gradually disappear. Just like those unmaintained farmland, the more fertile it is, the easier it is for weeds to grow. If it is not taken care of for a month or two, it will soon become a wasteland that is unrecognizable. "That's right, Grandpa Tu." The kid was afraid that they would think he was deceiving them, so he told the story of the land. "In this place in the mountains called [Blue Stone], the temple of Grandpa Tu is located under a large blue stone. This is known to the ghosts nearby. A few days ago, he promised to offer us incense and candles, and then many of our brothers came out to help him. "
"You seem to have said something very interesting." Yin Xiu smiled, "Then what did he ask you to do for him? Patrol in the mountains?" "almost." The kid nodded, "What wandering ghosts like us can do is patrol the mountains? We shouldn't be asked to deal with those monsters and strong men who have recently broken into the mountains, right?" It seems that these little guys are quite well informed and are quite aware of the changes in the mountains. "Just patrolling the mountains?" "That's not true. We also do other interesting things. Why don't you guess what they are?" When the kid was smiling, Yin Xiu took out a talisman and hit him. boom! The kid bent over in pain and almost vomited out the "bile". The kid stood up and looked at Yin Xiu in horror. Yin Xiu, however, had a cold face, "I'm going to beat you up! Guess what, old man, do you believe it or not? If you ask me to guess this or that again, I'll twist your head off." After sitting with these ghosts for a long time, the brain circuits of these guys have become a little strange. It is true that they cannot communicate with common sense. Either give him money or teach him a lesson. These two are the only options, and they are often extremely effective. Sure enough, after going through some hardships, the kid finally learned to explain things clearly by himself. "Grandpa Tutu asked us to find a person in the mountains of Changbai Mountain. He didn't say whether he was a man or a woman. He only said that the person was a candle or incense." "Incense, Changbai incense." Ma Xiaoyu suddenly said seriously. "That's right, that's what they say, Changbai Incense!" The kid's eyes glowed green, "Grandpa Tutu asked us to find such a person." Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu looked at each other, then turned to ask the kid: "What is the so-called Changbai incense?" "do not know." The kid spread his hands and said, "Grandpa Tutu only asked us to look for it, but he didn't tell us in detail." "Then look at him, is he the incense of Changbai?" Yin Xiu pointed at Liu Banxian - he is the only person who has nothing to do with [Incense], the kind who can't have anything to do with him in eight lifetimes. "No." The kid really denied it and laughed again, "He is not, and neither are you two. Changbai's Incense is not among you." "Then how do you know? It's not like us mages can't tell that you, a ghost, have any special skills, can you detect the strangeness of the white incense? After all, you don't even know whether the other person is a boy or a girl. .” "It's hard to say, but it's actually very simple. We rely on inspiration." "inspiration?"
Ma Xiaoyu suddenly became confused. When it comes to inspiration, her inspiration can be ranked among the top in Xuanmen. She can basically sense any kind of magic power and enchantment. Even within the family, her talent is believed to be rare in a century. Now that this kid actually said that he could sense Changbai's incense, then Ma Xiaoyu herself might also be able to sense that strange existence. But before that, when the big red snake came to seize the incense, Ma Xiaoyu never sensed that there was someone with a temperament or a different personality in the queue. "The inspiration I'm talking about is different from the inspiration you think, Master Immortal." Seeing Ma Xiaoyu's confusion, the kid explained: "We ghosts are different from humans. Of course, this is nonsense. If everyone were the same, they wouldn't say that humans and ghosts have different paths. What I mean is that we ghosts can see at a glance those things that are just like us and are not [human]. " "Isn't that a ghost or a monster?" Liu Banxian asked. "No, it doesn't have to be ghosts or monsters. They are not the only ones who are not human. Don't forget, [immortals] are not [human] either." The kid smiled and said: "If there is an immortal next to you, will you be able to sense it and notice it?" Ma Xiaoyu shook his head, "The aura of a fairy is actually no different from that of a human being. If the other person doesn't reveal it specifically, I won't be able to sense it." Liu Banxian also shook his head, "I have seen thousands of people so far, but I have never seen any immortal clouds. In my eyes, there are only two types of people, those with magic power and those without magic power. Other than that, they are just evil sycophants." .” "That's right, but us ghosts can." The kid was very serious, "We can tell where the immortals are at a glance. This is the means and methods of us lonely ghosts. In fact, this is not something that can be called a strength or skill, because we little ghosts have no chance." See the immortal. Not to mention immortals, even those ancestral halls and temples, we lonely ghosts are not qualified to enter. Alas, we are really no better than a wild dog that was kicked to death by someone on the roadside. " As he spoke, he started to cry again, and he didn't stop until Yin Xiu took out another piece of talisman with an expressionless face. "Grandpa Tu Tu said that this Changbai incense is a banished immortal, no different from human beings, but it emits a different life fire. The three fires on his shoulders are different from ordinary people, and we can recognize them at a glance. " "That's no wonder." Ma Xiaoyu suddenly realized that although people like them in Xuanmen can look at Qi, the three fires on people's shoulders can only be observed by lonely ghosts. When walking at night, the three fires on the top of the head and on the shoulders protect people from the harm of wandering spirits. So if those ghosts want to harm people, they will do everything possible to cause trouble and lure the target to turn their heads, so as to extinguish the fire on the shoulders. , so as to harm people. Because of this, these ghosts pay special attention to the life fire in people. However, sorcerers, Taoists, and almost all Taoist people will not observe people's life fire unless they use some kind of magic to see and distinguish it. "I see." Yin Xiu nodded, finally understanding that Changbai's incense was different from those of them. From this, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the big red snake was talking to him. Although he was 100% sure that he had nothing to do with Lord Taibai, he might be related to some kind of cause and effect. At this moment, Xiaogui's words completely dispelled Yin Xiu's doubts. There is another person in Changbai Incense. At this moment, he is walking in the mountains in human form, and may also be involved in a team looking for dragon veins.
"Then your Grandpa Tu, did you say you want to go to the palace?" Somehow, Yin Xiu suddenly remembered the goal that Ghost Immortal Kui Qingshan told him. "What palace?" asked the kid. "nothing." It seemed that this kid didn't know any more relevant information, so Yin Xiu asked him again: "So, what is the background of the land grandfather who asked you to do things, who lives in [Blue Stone]?" "Master Immortal, do you want to get to know him? I know this very well. I have lived here, oh no, I have been wandering for many years. I don't know what monsters are around, or the situation of the indigenous people? Let's just say that in the valley to the north That bat spirit, that bastard..." Yin Xiu shook the talisman paper in his hand. The kid immediately changed his mind and said, "Grandfather Land, he is also an old bastard. Please tell me more..." Qingshitou was actually a place casually mentioned by a man who went into the mountains to cut trees and collect herbs, and it was later agreed upon as a place. There are many places like this, just to have reference coordinates and place names to let people know where the location is. For example, in some places where two trees grow very tall, the place is called Shuangshugou. If it is on a slope, it is called Shuangshu Slope. There may be a Shuangshu Cave, but it is unlikely that a tree will grow in a cave. Such a tall tree. Anyway, the reason why it is called the blue stone is just because there is a stone there that is larger than the other stones, and the color is so green that you can tell it is special at a glance. The temple of Grandpa Tutu is under this stone. To say it is a temple is a bit over-proclaimed, or even an exaggeration. Because it was just a small place built by randomly stacking a few stones. From a distance, it looked like a chicken coop, but from a closer look, it looked like a small house built by children to play house. But because an unknown person placed a statue of a god picked up from somewhere inside, the herb collectors and lumberjacks who passed by to rest also regarded it as the god of this place and the patron saint of the forest. During festivals and festivals, when worshiping the mountain gods of Changbai, some tributes and incense candles would be placed here. Over time, some passing wild god, or a lonely ghost with a similar fate, finally got the opportunity to settle down in Qingshitou, claiming to be the land in that area. Originally, these wild gods who tried to steal power would be expelled. If it was between urban and rural areas, the local city god would send people to cut down the mountains and destroy the temples after learning the news. If it is in the mountains, it will naturally be under the jurisdiction of the City God, but if there is some authority in this place, the City God will not interfere. Therefore, even if the original wild god stole power here, it stands to reason that he would be expelled by Lord Taibai and become a wandering soul again. But Shenjun Taibai has fallen, so naturally there is no time to suppress and expel these wild gods who have stolen power. From this, the land grandfather established a firm foothold here and settled down. "Oh, it turns out he is an illegal resident and came here smuggled in." Liu Banxian only found it interesting. "It's not just illegal immigration, he also wants to become a regular employee." Ma Xiaoyu smiled and said, "That guy also had the idea of seizing the power of Changbai Mountain." "You can only drive imps, what ability can you have?" Yin Xiu didn't care. "You mean, ignore him?"
"Why should we care? He's just a little brat. He cares about everything, but we're afraid we can't handle it. Now we just need to go to Baiyun Peak, and haven't we already obtained important information? That's enough. " Yin Xiu looked at Bai Yunfeng and said, "If we are destined, we will return the Changbai incense to Lord Taibai to repay his kindness for helping us suppress the Big Red Snake." "That's best." Ma Xiaoyu nodded. "But……" "Well?" Yin Xiu turned around and found that it was the kid who asked the question. He seemed very reserved at this moment, as if he was wondering whether the three of them would fulfill their previous promise and let him go. "Don't do bad things in your next life and go reincarnate." Ma Xiaoyu threw out a piece of talisman paper, and the warm light immediately covered the kid. The kid was startled and raised his hands to cover his eyes. Later, I discovered that the light was not only harmless to me, but also a kind of guiding light that guided me to reincarnation. He immediately bowed and thanked her. Ma Xiaoyu waved her hand, and the light disappeared without a trace. (End of chapter)
