Not a fairy guest

Needless to say, looking at his anxious look, it can be seen that Brother Zhang's feelings for Miss Song are completely sincere. However, this lame little village man just bowed his head for a while, and his eyes suddenly became focused, as if he suddenly remembered What? He quickly said to everyone: "Peach Blossom Forest, ever since I was beaten in the Song Mansion, the lady wrote to me within a few days, and agreed to meet at the Peach Blossom Forest at the end of the village on even days according to the letter written above. However, when we were almost separated, I wanted to send her back down the mountain, but the lady said that she felt relaxed and happy here, which was better than the dull Song Mansion. She insisted on staying alone for a while and asked me to go out first. She would come to me in half an hour. I felt at that time It was inappropriate, but I couldn't resist her. After being beaten and scolded by her, I had to leave first. Although it felt strange, fortunately she did come out as promised. I just thought she was in a bad mood, but if you follow the old rules, As he said, it has been six days since the young lady of the Song Mansion was transformed into a mirror demon."

After listening to the lecture, Yang Qing immediately grasped the key point and asked: "Why is it Peach Blossom Forest? Song Mansion is quite far away from Qingnan Village, and the road up the mountain is not easy to walk. She is a woman. Why would I choose this place to have a tryst with you? What is there in the peach blossom forest?"

Before the Zhang family brother could speak, Yu Nian blurted out: "If I remember the peach blossom forest in Qingnan Village correctly, apart from the peach trees in the garden, there is only one grave. I went there a few years ago, and there was incense ash on it. , it is said that it was buried many years ago, which greatly ruined the scenery and ruined the spring scenery."

The old Taoist priest was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head, "Peach trees can drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts. If you build a tomb on the peach forest, wouldn't that person's soul be suppressed to death? If it weren't for some deep hatred, the poor Taoist would still I really don’t know anyone else would do that.”

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. After saying that, the Zhang family brothers and Yu Nian took the lead. The peach blossom forest was not far from the entrance of the village. As soon as they arrived, they smelled a faint smell of peach blossoms, and under this peach blossom smell It also contains a hint of incense.

Lu Yingchao walked in front, wrinkled his nose, and thought: Is this Xinxiang?It is indeed strange. It is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. Normally, there should be many literati ladies coming to enjoy the flowers. However, when I entered this place, I didn't see a single person.

Several people also smelled the smell of incense and followed the smell towards the depths of the peach forest. Sure enough, they soon saw a tomb just as Yu Nian said, with the words "The tomb of Qin Hongniang, the Xian concubine" clearly engraved on it. "Seven big characters, there is a small amount of incense ashes from the sacrifice in front, a red candle and a half-burned incense stick are placed in front of the grave, but they are not white. It is obvious that they have just been worshiped not long ago.

Seeing this, Lu Yingchao brushed off the large pile of petals scattered in front of the monument to see who erected the tomb. However, there was no name of the person who erected the monument in the lower right corner. He was thinking a lot: "Qin Hongniang? Could it be that she was referring to Song Yuanwai?" The Qin Huakui you are talking about? Since she is the heir, it must be her descendants. But who on earth erected the tomb of her elder in the peach blossom forest and committed such a treasonous and unethical act. But no matter who is in the tomb, it must be given way. She has to be detached! This person has been trapped in this peach blossom forest for many years. If he turns a blind eye today, he doesn't know how long it will be before he can be reincarnated."

To confirm his conjecture, the young Taoist turned to Yu Nian and asked Xiang Zheng, who was doing nothing and tearing apart peach blossom petals: "Brother Yu, I wonder if Qin Huaikui of Mianxiang Tower many years ago can be called Qin Hongniang?"

Yu Nian dropped the petals in his hand and stood up, walked quickly to the tombstone, leaned over, looked at it, thought about it carefully, and replied: "I don't know what happened so many years ago, but shopkeeper Zhou did mention that 20 Many years ago, a popular oiran from Mianxiang Tower was ransomed by a wealthy businessman from Yu County for a large amount of money and left. However, her life was not satisfactory. She seemed to have made some mistake and was kicked out of the house. Finally, she died alone and depressed, which led to many years of The position of Oiran in Mianxiang Tower has always been vacant. For this reason, the shopkeeper felt sorry for this pretty girl this week, and wrote a poem for the Oiran in particular, well...it seems to be, 'Who can show mercy when the matchmaker disappears, leaving the wasteland alone? "Tsukasaku Flower Fairy." I think this courtesan should be called Matchmaker."

"I see……"

Yu Nian didn't know what the young Taoist meant by this sentence, so he saw him making a secret with one hand, summoning the flying sword, and heard a loud noise, splitting the grave in front of him in two.

The young man was shocked and bluntly said that he had caused a big disaster and dug someone's grave. If you did such an immoral thing, you would be scolded by the people of Yu County for the rest of your life. So he pointed tremblingly at the coffin exposed above the earth and said: "Director Lu, how did you dig it out?"

Before Lu Yingchao could explain, suddenly, the pair of soul-calling charms jingling on the waist of the Zhang family brother behind them.

Lu Yingchao frowned and pushed the coffin open with one palm. What came into view was a plump woman lying on a shriveled skeleton.And there was still a small handful of burnt incense ashes on the woman's body.The young Taoist twisted his middle finger and gently stuck it together. After rubbing his thumb for a while, he brought it to the tip of his nose to distinguish it carefully.

When the young brother of the Zhang family saw the woman's appearance, he immediately rushed forward. Yu Nian wanted to stop her. After all, he had seen the power of the mirror demon yesterday and was afraid that the trick might have harmed the young brother of the Zhang family. However, seeing Lu Yingchao and the old Taoist priest, both He stood there with an indifferent expression and didn't say much. Anyway, he had specialization in the art industry, and he, the "young hero" who was brought in halfway, didn't really think of himself as a hero.

Sure enough, after the Zhang family brother approached the woman, nothing happened, but the woman let him shout and shake, without showing any signs of waking up. Her whole body was cold, as if she had just been buried in this coffin.

"Director Lu, why can't Miss Song be woken up? Could it be that she has been harmed by the mirror demon?"

Seeing the grief-stricken look on Mr. Zhang's face as he held Miss Song's body, the young man who had rushed behind everyone when the coffin was opened wanted to ask the young Taoist.After hearing Yu Nian's question, the old Taoist priest shook his head and answered for Lu Yingchao: "The three souls and seven souls are not in the human body. How can it be awakened? But it doesn't matter. Although Miss Song was forcibly separated from the body and soul by Li Hun Xiang, Separated, and this bronze mirror that contains her soul is in our hands, so the Zhang family brother only needs to shake the soul-calling guide to make it return to its place. Fortunately, he had a backup plan at the time, although he did not know that Miss Song's soul had returned. What consequences will there be after taking the throne, but seeing that the Mirror Demon is so afraid, it can be explained that the Song Mansion did not dare to kill the Zhang family brother at that time."

As soon as the little brother of the Zhang family heard that the old Taoist priest had a secret method, he didn't care to ask why his life was in danger. He ran over and grabbed his sleeves, sobbed and shouted: "I hope the Taoist priest will have his hair." With a compassionate heart, please help me and my lady solve this difficult situation!"

Seeing the anxious look of this young man, the old Taoist priest nodded helplessly and asked Lu Yingchao to take out the bronze mirror. Then he took the soul-calling lure and shook it constantly to make a sound, waiting for Miss Song's return with a serious look on his face.Not long after, a figure appeared from the bronze mirror, and the young man from the Zhang family was extremely excited.

Miss Song was unconscious, and her soul was floating towards the coffin like a zombie. The old Taoist priest took a closer look and found that it was indeed Miss Song's soul.But at this time, the frail wind formed a strong contrast with the physical body, and the heart couldn't help but stir up waves. Miss Song's soul seemed to be seriously damaged!If it cannot be repaired in time, it will easily lead to the loss of the soul and never be able to fuse, let alone return to the original body and recover as before.

Presumably, Miss Song was in good health. Under the constant calls of the Zhang family brother, she woke up leisurely. However, she did not remember what happened in the past few days. She was frightened when she saw an inhuman skeleton lying under her body. He jumped three feet high and hugged the little brother from the Zhang family tightly in front of him. He almost fell upside down because of the drag. He also gave his chest a few seemingly soft blows from time to time, saying that he had been having nightmares for several days.

Although a few people knew what was going on, they did not expose it. After all, Miss Song's charming and unruly character, whether it was Yu Nian or an old Taoist priest who had suffered a lot, knew very well that some things should be left to Yuan Song to speak out. good.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, Yu Nian saw a crumpled blood letter lying on top of the corpse. Miss Song was holding it down and did not see it. The young man didn't think much about it at first, but he picked it up and read out, " Qin Yao, don't make the same mistake again and again, don't be obsessed with life and death, and wish to comfort kindness with a smile." After reading the piece of paper, I felt like waking up from a dream for more than ten years. I only felt the cold hair on the back of my neck standing upside down. I stood there blankly and looked at the coffin that was still there. The dead body in the quince, this letter was clearly written by her to the person who erected the monument.Could it be that Qin Hongniang had woken up in Miss Song's body? Otherwise, how could she have written this blood letter?

Lu Yingchao sighed and murmured: "This Qin Huakui was also a poor person. He was unhappy when he was alive. After his death, he was kept in a grave by his relatives for more than twenty years and was not allowed to live again, trying to use his body to resurrect his soul..."

The incantation, as thin as a mosquito's moan, hits the soul that has been wandering for many years like a bell. The light petals fly silently all over the sky, removing the coldness in the tomb and giving rise to a strong sense of spring.

But then we encountered another problem, because Miss Song didn't want to go back to the Song Mansion with Yu Nian and the others, and insisted on being with the Zhang family brother. She even showed her unruly nature, pouting her little mouth, sitting down on the ground, and letting herself go. Anyone who came forward was kicked out.

Fortunately, Yang Qing was still smart. She rolled her eyes, then tilted her head and said comfortingly: "I think Brother Zhang and Miss Song are quite a good match. Why don't we go back to the Song Mansion together, and we will help you persuade Song." Master, how are you?"

Although Miss Song felt better after hearing Yang Qing's words, she obviously didn't believe it. After all, she had met both the old Taoist priest and Yang Qing. In her eyes, they were just charlatans who deceived and abducted them, and she didn't believe what they said at all.

But at this moment, Lu Yingchao stood up. His outstanding temperament and clean and tidy Taoist robes still frightened Miss Song.

In addition, Yu Nian introduced him to the side and knew that this was a Taoist priest from Sifang Mountain. Once again, Miss Song was asked to treat him seriously.

Finally, with Lu Yingchao's repeated assurances, Miss Song finally relaxed her tone and prepared to go back and have a showdown with Mr. Song together with the Zhang family brother.Soon, everyone returned to the Song Mansion again. It was already afternoon, but Song Yuan still prepared a banquet outside. When they saw their daughter coming back, they cried for joy.

But when he saw Brother Zhang with him, his face suddenly turned cold, but he still thanked everyone and said, "Thank you all the immortals for rescuing my daughter. I am deeply grateful. You will definitely have a drink at my house today." Seeing Yuan Song's enthusiasm, the old Taoist priest smiled crookedly. It seemed that today not only would there be delicious food, but also fine wine.

At this time, Lu Yingchao poured cold water on him and said seriously: "Except member Song, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Zhang. We found your daughter with the help of Brother Zhang, but the mirror demon has not been expelled yet. I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy the wine." , it’s better to do it some more.”

When Song Yuanwai heard that this matter had nothing to do with the Zhang family brother, and that it had played a certain role, his expression softened slightly, but when he heard that Lu Yingchao wanted to do something else, a trace of panic suddenly appeared on his face.

However, when Yu Nian and others entered the hall of Song Mansion again, they were sitting on chairs. This little villager could only stand on one side. Not to mention tea, no one even looked at him, even the servants of Song Mansion. When I came here, Song Yuanwai really didn't like this little village man.

Seeing that several people were seated, Song Yuan picked up the tea cup and blew it gently into the steaming hot air. After touching his slightly dry lips, he asked Lu Yingchao what he meant by what he just said outside the door. He slowly said: "Immortal, you have been busy with my daughter's affairs. This time, thanks to your blessing, I have found my daughter. Since I have important things to do, it is inconvenient to drink, so I will substitute tea for wine this time." Yes, but there is one thing I don’t understand. May I ask what you meant by what you just said? Is there any danger to my little girl’s life? "

Lu Yingchao didn't even look at the tea set on the table, but said slowly: "I don't dare to lie, but based on the clues I have caught in the past few days, to put it simply, after letting Qianjin lure the demon into the body, the body will The yin and yang are reversed, and the body has been occupied by the mirror demon for a long time. What you see during the day is actually the body incarnated by the mirror demon, and Ling Qianjin’s soul appears many times at night, but you think it is an evil spirit. , and was injured by an unknown wandering Taoist priest, he is in danger now, and will be wiped out from heaven and earth by the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar the day after tomorrow."

"Chief Immortal, are you saying that the thing that scares people every night is actually the real Qiu He?"

Hearing the young Taoist priest nod in response, Song Yuanwai realized what the wandering Taoist priests he had invited had done. He no longer had the calmness he had shown just now, and the hand holding the tea cup in mid-air could not help but tremble. , his eyes turned white, and he almost fainted from his own anger. The seemingly expensive tea cup in his hand also smashed to the ground. He could no longer clean up his image, beat his chest and started crying on the spot. Maybe he was too sad. , Song Yuanwai shouted vaguely, and Yu Nian could only vaguely hear the words "life is hard" and "I'm sorry for my daughter".

Although it is true that Song Yuanwai is not a kind person, he is really sad to see this man who is usually a bit rich and unkind. After all, the parents are the most bitter in the world. Seeing a lot of Song Yuanwai's age sitting on the ground crying like children, Lu Yingchao also felt sad. Feeling sympathetic, he said: "Things are not without a turn, so the few of us have thought of a way, and we need Brother Zhang to cooperate. Maybe we can catch the mirror demon and save Miss Song's life at the same time."

When Song Yuan saw the two immortal masters making promises at the same time, he felt a little more courageous.He looked at his daughter, then took a step forward, bowed to Lu Ying, and then said firmly: "Please ask the immortal master to prepare how to catch the monster. I will try my best to cooperate."

Hearing this, Lu Yingchao smiled confidently and said: "I already know the origin of this demon. I only need Miss Song's cooperation to attract the Mirror Demon. Then I will take action immediately to suppress it. But Mr. Song, you don't have to worry. , I will never hurt Miss Song at all."

When Song Yuanwai heard that he was going to borrow Miss Song, his face immediately became a little ugly, but after hearing the following words, his face softened slightly.

"Chang Lu, is this really possible?"

Despite Lu Yingchao's repeated assurances, Song Yuanwai was still a little unsure. After all, this was related to his daughter's life and had to be treated with caution.

At this moment, Song Yuanwai's face was furrowed with unspeakable sadness. Finally, he pointed at the little villager and said, "One yard is another yard. I am grateful that you can save Qiu He and the Song family, but don't worry." You want to use the gift of saving your life to coerce me into marrying Qiu He."

Yang Qing pursed her lips and did not agree with Song Yuanwai's tough approach at all. They were obviously in love with each other, so why bother to separate them.

The little brother from the Zhang family sighed and nodded helplessly. Ever since he was rejected by Song Yuanwai last time, he couldn’t help but think about this lifelong event day and night. He just wanted to come to the door and give an answer, but he didn’t come in yet. He suffered a severe beating for no apparent reason. Now that he could sit down calmly with Member Song, the villager couldn't help but think of his decision that day: "Miss Song comes from a distinguished family, but I am just an ordinary person from the countryside. Although Miss Song and I have the same affection, after all, It is a major matter of marriage, and we need to consider that we are well-matched. How can I be considered a good match at this point? Moreover, the disaster that Miss Song suffered this time was actually because of me. If I think about it carefully, it is because of my selfishness. rise……"

Before the Zhang family brother could speak, Miss Song suddenly interrupted mid-hearing and said sternly: "The mirror demon incident started because of me, so I should end it. I am willing to cooperate with Master Lu in casting spells. When this matter is over, don't do it." Leave me and Zhang Lang alone, otherwise there will be stool demons, tree demons, whatever."

Originally, Song Qiuhe didn't want to get rid of the demon, but along the way, after hearing what happened after the mirror demon possessed him, and the Zhang family's little brother's persuasion, he began to worry about whether the mirror demon would do something outrageous, so he took the initiative. Step forward and ask Lu Yingchao to cast a spell to eliminate the demon.

When Song Yuanwai saw that his daughter had agreed and made a request, he was immediately furious. But his daughter knew it, and he also knew that as long as Song Qiuhe made a decision, it would be difficult for him to change it, just like the Zhang family brother. He had already done everything he could to deal with this matter, but in the end it was Song Qiuhe who resolved it in this way and made such a big fuss that it almost cost the whole family their lives.

So he stopped talking. He just pointed at Song Qiuhe and was speechless for a while. Then he reluctantly squeezed out a few words through his teeth and said: "Oh, it's up to you!"

Seeing that Song Qiuhe and Song Yuanwai all agreed, Lu Yingchao showed a smile on his face.

Song Yuanwai wiped his tears, turned to the old Taoist priest and asked: "Old Immortal, you are well-informed. It depends on when to take action. Why not do it today?"

"Fellow Taoist Lu, what do you have to say?" Seeing Yuan Song, he asked him for no reason. He thought that the old Taoist priest didn't contribute much, so he wanted to hear what he had to say. Of course, this old Taoist priest had been wandering around the world for so many years. Like a loach, he took advantage of Lu Yingchao's temper and pushed the matter onto this extremely responsible young Taoist.

In fact, no family would be so anxious if something like this happened, so Song Yuan didn't have so many polite words, he just wanted to rescue his daughter and kill the monster as soon as possible.But this thing is easy to say, but not easy to do. Especially the old Taoist priest is only half a bucket of water. The effectiveness of the talisman may be useful against some little monsters, but not to mention that this mirror monster is not an ordinary monster. There is a person behind it. The woman in green clothes, I'm afraid his talisman will be of no use.

"Fellow Taoist Lu, what do you have to say?" Seeing that Song Yuanwai was forcing him to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, the old Taoist simply diverted the trouble to the east and blamed Lu Yingchao for the matter.

Lu Yingchao thought about it carefully and answered honestly: "The Gen position in the northeast is the gate of life, and the Kun position in the southwest is the gate of death. Introducing the spiritual power of Qingtian Hongchenjian into this gate of life will greatly weaken the monster's fighting power. The mirror demon is eager to seize the body, and the thing of destiny is in our hands. I am afraid that we cannot bear this temper, and will definitely show up because we can't bear it. When the time comes, the old man will fight the mirror demon with me, and Brother Zhang will use the soul summoning method to lure the mirror demon. To prevent the mirror demon from stably possessing it, brother Yu and the little girl can wait on the outside but cannot get close to the center of the formation. The woman in green clothes and the mirror demon are full of tricks, which may be detrimental to the two of them."

After hearing this, the old Taoist priest lowered his lips and thought to himself: This is not good for the poor Taoist either...

However, the old Taoist priest still straightened his back, swept away the irregularities on his body, coughed a few times in a pretentious manner, and said in an old-fashioned voice: "I almost mean the same thing, Pindao, but Pindao is old and can't act." No more than young people like you, Fellow Daoist Lu needs more help."

Lu Yingchao nodded and said, "This is natural."
