Chapter 145

I don't know how long it took, and the moon came out again.

The dim moonlight slightly dissipated the oppressive darkness, allowing everyone to see the things in front of them clearly again.

At this moment, there was one more person in the yard—a woman.

She was wearing an orange coat, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and her skin was so white and greasy that it seemed to be shining in the moonlight.

Even though her face was not covered with makeup or hairpins, she was still unbelievably beautiful, just like a fairy in the sky, without any trace of the wind and dust in the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a world based on appearances. If demons and ghosts are good-looking enough, human beings will naturally treat them differently.

For example, if the "ghost nun" looks like Anne Hathaway and makes trouble in your house, don't you suddenly feel that you can stand it?

Of course, you might be overwhelmed in another situation, but that's another story, right?

Right now, as soon as the "woman in the painting" appeared, the terrifying atmosphere on the scene suddenly became less. If there was a frail scholar or young master Pianpian present at the moment, he would probably feel overwhelmed by the sight. Can you be afraid?

Fortunately...the reality is that there is no such waste in this yard.

The five standing in the yard at this moment will not get carried away just because they look good.

First of all, Master Wojian, the dignified head of Lingyin Temple, grew up in a small temple, and his concentration is very good.

Secondly, Mr. Lu Wenlu is in his forties this year. Although he has not yet reached the age of completely losing certain abilities, but because he was a little too drunk when he was young, he has long been unable to do what he wants, so he will not lose his mind when he is beautiful. of.

Then there is Hu Qiuhu who is the headhunter... There is no one else, the husband and wife are loving, and their will is relatively firm.

Next, it's Yun Shili, as I said before, he has eaten and seen him before, isn't he a stunning beauty?What's all the fuss about?Besides, as a martial arts practitioner, his willpower is no worse than Hu Qiu's.

In the end, Sun Yixie...that's a coward, he doesn't care what other people look like, ensuring his own safety is the top priority...

When the surrounding environment was dark and bright just now, the other four hadn't moved much, but Sun Yixie had already "transformed" the trident hidden on his body and copied it in his hand.

"Hey! Where did you take it out?" Yun Shili stood closer to Sun Yixie. He was not frightened by the woman in the painting, but was startled by Brother Sun's sudden change of weapon. .

"You stare at that fairy, why do you care about me?" Sun Yixie replied impatiently, and at the same time narrowed his small eyes, and swept the "fairy" up and down more than five times.

"Who do you say is a goblin?" The beauty in the painting was not happy when she heard this, and immediately said angrily, "This girl is the 'Jade Tail Immortal', please show me some respect!"

When Sun Yixie heard it, he thought he was right, it was a goblin who was called this kind of name, how could a real god be called this?

"Okay, then... Great Immortal, what's the matter with you showing up today?" Sun Yixie didn't argue with the other party, but immediately started to talk.

"Hmph..." The Great Immortal Yuwei snorted coldly, and replied, "I originally wanted to tell you and Master Yun something, so I used some tricks to lure you in, but you two dare not enter the house anyway. , and even invited a monk to come and make a lot of noise in the courtyard...then I can only come out by myself."

Before she finished speaking, the lying man over there had folded his hands and said, "Amitabha... so the benefactor has something to do with Mr. Sun and Mr. Yun, so the poor monk will stop bothering you..." After finishing speaking, This guy is about to turn around and slip away.

Can Sun Yixie let this monk run away?At that time, he just said "Damn chicken", and he dodged over and grabbed Wo Jian's collar with one hand: "God damn benefactor, is this a human being? He even calls himself a great fairy, and you are still a benefactor?" Also, you are here to catch demons, what should we do if you leave?"

"That's right, Mr. Sun is right, master, you can't leave." Lu Wen also echoed at this time, and began to move towards the gate of the courtyard, "But... I really can't do anything about catching monsters, so I'm not here messing with you..."

While speaking, he also wanted to flash.

But just as he was about to pass by Sun Yixie, he heard a sound of "Hoo--", and the tip of the trident lay horizontally in front of him.

"Lord Lu, you sent the 'Traveling in the Lake and Encountering Immortals', so it's not right for you to leave..." Sun Yixie certainly wouldn't let Lu Wen get away.

He dragged and stopped, which made both Wo Jian and Lu Wen feel uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to resist.

Unexpectedly, after a short breath, it was the Great Immortal Yuwei who relieved them both: "Okay, Lu doesn't know about my affairs, and he can't care about them. That monk has no mana, so he can't do anything to me, and that one Headhunting...they can all go if they want to go." Speaking of this, she paused, her gaze resting on Yun Shili and Sun Yixie respectively, "What I'm looking for...is you two."

"Thank you, Great Immortal!" After hearing this, Lu Wen actually made a bow to the monster, and then he turned around, lowered his head and bowed in a coherent movement, and ran away from under the trident.

"Amitabha..." Wo Jian also took advantage of the moment when Sun Yixie let go of his hand slightly.

On the contrary, Catcher Hu still had a bit of loyalty, and before he was discharged from the hospital, he said to the two of them: "Both of you, take care..." before leaving.

Sun Yixie and Yun Shili didn't stop those people anymore, because they also realized that even if those three stayed, it would be useless. Since this goblin said that he had nothing to do with other people and only wanted to find Sun Yun, then they I can only bite the bullet and ask the situation first.

"Damn it... Then Master Lu is fine, even monks can't be trusted these days." After those people had left, Sun Yixie read cursingly, "The key is to charge so much incense money from our family." Every now and then, tell me about Amitabha Gudebai."

Yun Shili wasn't as talkative as Sun Ge, and Master Yun had already calmed down at this time, and accepted the situation in front of him that reversed his cognition.

But once he accepted this setting, he was not afraid anymore.

As Shui Hanyi once said, even though Yun Shili looks a bit frivolous on the surface, he has justice in his heart - if a person has a clear conscience in life, there is no need to be afraid of ghosts and gods.

"My great fairy, can you tell me why you are looking for us two now?" Yun Shili quickly asked the great fairy Yuwei in a calm tone.

Immortal Yuwei was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed softly, and then said in a sad tone: "I want to ask you two to help me with something."

"What's the matter?" Yun Shili asked.

"Revenge." Immortal Yuwei's answer was also concise.

"Wait!" Sun Yixie's mind was very active. When he heard these two words, combined with the information he had so far, he immediately speculated, "Let me guess... Is it because you had an affair with Han Yu back then? Then he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone when he became the number one scholar, so you committed suicide angrily, and after death, you turned into a ghost and attached to the portrait he painted for you, now you want us to avenge you?"

His reasoning is quite logical, but unfortunately...

"No." Immortal Yuwei denied Brother Sun's conjecture without any emotion.

"Ah?" Now Sun Yixie was stunned, "What's going on?"

"Alas..." Immortal Yuwei let out another long sigh after being asked this question, and then began to talk about her experiences back then.

…………

This has to be said about 27 years ago.

At that time, in Yueyang's realm, there was such a fox who had cultivated into a spirit; although her mana was not very high, she still gave herself a very famous name, called "Jade Tail Immortal".

This Jade Tail Immortal is not an evil monster, she is a spirit monster that is slowly boiled out by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, plus eating vegetarian food to accumulate merit.

On weekdays, she doesn't harm anyone. On the contrary, she often turns into a beautiful woman to scare or make fun of the local ruffians, bullies, lechers and so on.

For a kind little demon like her, if one day the chance comes and she meets an expert who passes by here and takes her back to the mountain gate, maybe she will be able to cultivate into a spirit beast or something in the future.

However, it corresponds to what Miao Yinzi said - "Whether it is a person or a thing, the name has to be chosen according to the fate. If the name is too big, you can't bear it, and you will suffer severely."

In her life, Immortal Yuwei, she was doomed to have such a catastrophe...

One night, she met a man by the Dongting Lake.

He was a well-mannered scholar in his early twenties; to put it nicely, he was called a "scholar", but to put it badly, he was just a poor scholar.

I don't need to tell you that everyone understands that this is Han Yu when he was young.

This night, Han Yu came to the lake for nothing else, he came to commit suicide...

Why seek death?It's very simple, it seems that it's time to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but his family is so poor that there is no money for him to go on the road.

The concept of "travel fare" in ancient times is different from that of modern people. From the perspective of modern people, long-distance travel is nothing more than a little more expensive tickets than short-distance ones, and people spend a little longer in the car. That's all. Compared with a few hours long-distance car, a few more meals will cost more; but in ancient times, you may have to walk for several months to go to a farther place. Sales, board and lodging are the real bulk.

If Han Yu’s hometown is not too far from the capital, it’s okay to say, even if he sells pots and sells iron to pawn shops to pay some money, it should be enough, but how long does it take to get from Yueyang (Hunan) to the capital (Beijing) for the exam? How much is it?Even if Han Yu went to borrow a loan shark, no one would dare to lend it to him... What would happen if the poor scholar who couldn't afford to hire a school boy died on the way?Even if he didn't die, if he didn't pass the exam, wouldn't he be able to pay back the money?

There is a saying that a penny can kill a hero, money can kill a hero, so it is easier to kill a scholar, isn't it?

Han Yu was still too young at this time, and his spirit was high. If you asked him to beg for food all the way to Beijing, he couldn't let go of his figure, and he didn't have the ability. He couldn't think of a way after much deliberation. Alright.

But it's still the same sentence-you know that death is difficult before it happens.

When he really got to the lake, Han Yu hesitated, struggled, and finally sat down...and started crying.

Some people might say, why does this person look like a woman?

But if you put yourself in the situation and think about it, if your life has come to this point, you will cry too.

It is well said in "Night Run", that a man does not flick his tears lightly, just because he is not yet sad; there is one person here, and it is probably not as good as this Han Yu. They cry only when there are practical difficulties that cannot be solved, and many young men in our modern times, looking at the five big and three rough, but encounter some minor setbacks in work, study and life, such as losing a love or something, cry worse than women.

Closer to home...

When Han Yu was crying, the Great Immortal Yuwei happened to see him. This fox is proficient in human nature, so she changed into another person and came to ask Han Yu what happened.

Han Yu was also overly sad at the time, and his mind was a little dazed. He didn't think about why a beautiful girl came to this lake in the middle of the night... Anyway, he just poured out his own affairs like pouring bitter water. One said.

After hearing this, Immortal Yuwei felt that the scholar was quite pitiful, and she could see that there was nothing evil about him, so she decided to help him.

How can I help?Just give money.

It stands to reason that goblins generally have no money. When they encounter occasions that require money, they only need to disguise some stones and branches as silver, and this silver will naturally appear after the magic spell expires. Prototype.

But Immortal Yuwei is really rich, because when she teases those local ruffians and bullies, she will take away their silver as a means of punishment, so she has saved a lot of real silver on hand.

When Han Yu heard that the other party wanted to give him money, he was happy at first, but then he realized many problems, and gradually calmed down, he began to ask the identity of the woman in front of him and the origin of the money.

Immortal Yuwei first told a lie, saying that she was an opera singer, but Han Yu asked a few more details, and her lie could not be fulfilled.

At this time, Han Yu was really a good person, even pedantic. When he saw that the source of the other party's people and money was unknown, he refused to accept it, for fear of causing any trouble to the other party after accepting it.

No way, Immortal Yuwei thought about it, and told Han Yu the truth—it was obviously easier to prove that he was a goblin than to prove that he was a human being, just perform a few small spells.

After Han Yu knew the truth, he was not afraid, because he felt that the monster was a good monster if he would help him in this way; so he accepted the money gratefully, and promised repeatedly that he would come back to repay the jade in the future. Tail fairy.

It was supposed to be like this...

Immortal Yuwei didn't think that Han Yu must come to repay her. For her, money is something outside of her body, and this is a matter of little effort.

As for Han Yu, he never had any malice towards the Great Immortal Yuwei. He still felt it on the way to Beijing to rush for the exam, and drew the picture of "Walking in the Lake and Meeting the Immortal"; in the picture, there are just a few lake views , A beautiful woman... There were quite a lot of paintings like this in that era, and no one would think that the people in the paintings really existed.

However, after winning the first prize and entering the officialdom, Han Yu changed, and it became very fast.

Officialdom is a place where honest young people can be transformed into the kind of people they hate the most.

Those who come out of the mud without being stained are rare.

There are still many who died without a place to bury before the mud came out.

Han Yu is a good person, but he is not a saint. The suffering of being born in a poor family in the first half of his life made him extremely utilitarian after seizing the opportunity, because he was afraid of returning to the old days.

So he turned himself into the same turbid appearance as everyone else in that big dye vat, and even the "Picture of Swimming in the Lake and Encountering Immortals" was given away by him as a bribe without blinking an eye... He gave it away At that time, he even felt that this painting was a bit unsellable, because in his eyes at that time, everything could be measured by the transaction of money and power, and his calligraphy and paintings were not of much value at that time. He and this painting The story behind the painting is even more worthless.

In fact, it's okay if things come to an end here, after all, Immortal Yuwei didn't expect anything in return.

But the calamity is the calamity, and Yuwei never imagined that in the end, instead of repaying her kindness, Han Yu repaid her kindness with revenge, which caused a disaster for her.

And the cause of all that was a summer 25 years ago...

That day, an old Taoist suddenly approached Han Yu and said that he wanted to negotiate a deal with him.

That old Taoist called himself "Guanhengzi".

You should have heard this name for the first time, but I mentioned that you should have an impression of another name he used later-"Mr. Tongquan", Liu Yufang.
