[054] Plum Blossom Ridge

Go north from Qingxian County, cross a mountain and reach Ziya River.

The north bank of this river is the southernmost end of Shuntian Prefecture.

Feng Yu asked about the passing and knew that this was the fastest road to Shuntian Prefecture. After crossing Ziya River and traveling to the two counties, you can take a boat north along the Lushui River and arrive all the way to the capital. Such a road connected north and south like a north-south link, you usually don’t encounter any evil spirits.

Therefore, when Feng Yu heard the words of the manager, he was not afraid, but his eyes lit up and he asked, "Oh, why can't this manager go to Meihualing?"

The manager looked around and seemed to be afraid of being heard by something indescribable: "There are ghosts on the plum blossom ridge recently!"

Feng Yu suddenly became excited and asked, "What a haunted method?"

Seeing that Feng Yu was asking absurdly, the manager frowned, and said that he did not believe his words, and argued: "Little Taoist Master, I am not nonsense. As far as I know, in recent days, many people have broken into Meihua Ridge without knowing each other, and they all disappeared without a trace! The people near the village and town raised some money together and invited the mage to enter the mountain, but they could not subdue the ghost. Only the mage had a disciple who escaped, and these news came out just now. You must not believe it!"

If an ordinary mage cannot surrender, he will first eliminate the lowest level of the ghost of the silence of death.

And being able to harm so many people in succession is at least a fierce evil spirit! However, the ghost can deal with the mage, but the mage's disciples escape, obviously the upper limit is not high. Feng Yu felt that it was more than enough to deal with ghosts of this level, so of course he would not avoid it.

"I certainly believe the earnest words of the manager." Feng Yu smiled and comforted, "But you also saw my identity. Exorcist ghosts and demons is really a responsibility to exorcise ghosts and demons. How can you retreat?"

The manager advised: "What useful skills can you learn when you are young? Master, please listen to my advice, don't be brave and strong, just take a detour from Jingxian in the east!"

Feng Yu sighed helplessly and emotionally.

I had to insist on going, but the manager could not persuade him to do anything if he saw it seriously.

When he left, Feng Yu said to him: "When I calm down the ghost troubles of Meihualing, I will leave news in Chengxian County on the north bank of Ziya River. If you have gone by Meihualing, you can go to Chengxian County to inquire. If there is any news, it means that the ghost troubles have been settled. When you come back, you can go to Meihualing again."

After saying this, Feng Yu strode towards the mountains.

Meihualing is a mountainous land, and the soil here is relatively low due to saline and alkali, so the vegetation is more lush than the plain wilderness. However, under heavy snow in winter, except for a few pine and cypress trees, the other trees in the mountains fell yellow and leaves, which were quite desolate. Under the heavy snow, the bare branches were covered with snow dregs, and the vast white area was quite cold.

At first, there were no plum blossoms on the mountain.

Not even plum blossoms, I haven't seen a single plum tree.

Until the end of the day, Feng Yu went deep into the mountains. Gradually, he smelled a faint fragrance in the cold wind. Looking around, he found a few inconspicuous plum trees in the snow.

The further you go, the more plum trees there are.

Gradually, the heavy snow cannot cover up the plum blossoms' grace of the snow. If a scholar who has read poetry and books is here, he will see the vast land, snowflakes flying and the winter plum blossoms blooming brilliantly, and he will have to recite a few poems to express his feelings.

Feng Yu can read and read, but he can write poems and write them correctly, which is too embarrassing to him.

However, when Feng Yu saw the plum tree forming a sea of ​​flowers, he couldn't help but recite the sentence "The plum beard is three parts whiter than the snow, but the snow is one part fragrant." It was considered a savor for a while, and it was considered a simplicity.

The sky is getting darker.

Feng Yu walked forward and suddenly saw a small path on the side of the road. Although the path was covered with snow, the traces were revealed, and the path was crowded with people. His thoughts moved slightly and he walked along the path for about half a quarter of an hour. There was a cave in front of him that sheltered from the wind and snow.

After a little thought, I immediately realized.

With the footsteps of pedestrians and merchants, it was a bit difficult to cross Meihua Ridge from Qingxian. Therefore, I found this cave and used it as a place to rest when I was tired. Recently, the haunted Meihua Ridge has been very haunted, and anyone with more knowledgeable knowledge will not come up to the ridge anymore.

Therefore, the cave is deserted.

When Feng Yu walked into the cave, in addition to the crowds, he could also find a simple stove and fire pit that had been built. There was a lot of dry firewood stored in the inner part. Feng Yu easily lit the fire, and the flames dispelled the desertedness and loneliness that were alone.

In such a cold winter, it would be a good thing to stew a pot of hot soup.

Unfortunately, it was snowing heavily on Meihua Ridge. Feng Yu walked along the way and did not pick any suitable mountain delicacies. He looked through his storage magic tool and threw the bags used for disguise aside. He had no choice but to mention stewing soup, even the food was only two pieces of cold and hard food left, and half a jar of wine was left.

Could it be that I need cold wine and dry food tonight?

Seeing that the sky was not yet dark outside, Feng Yu thought that the ghost on the ridge might have not yet left, so he carried "Qixie" out of the cave. He searched in the plum forest for a while with the last faint light, and finally found a gray-haired rabbit. Faced with Feng Yu's warm invitation, the rabbit kicked his feet and responded to the appointment of dinner together at the cold night, and then returned to the cave.

After skipping the trivial matters such as cleaning and cooking, about an hour later, Feng Yu harvested a delicious roasted rabbit with pepper on a winter night. By the way, he warmed up the second half of the jar of wine, Feng Yu had to enjoy a delicious meal, which was really comfortable and satisfied.

However, when Feng Yu drank the last sip of wine.

Outside the cave, there was nothing unusual except the whistling wind that swept the snow chips.

Feng Yu frowned and said in his heart: Why haven’t you come yet?

He fiddled with the firewood in the fire pit, and waited boredly until midnight, but there was still no movement. Feng Yu stood up and looked out of the cave, but no evil aura was found in his eyes.

He was a little suspicious, looked down at the Taoist robe on his body, and thought: Could it be that this robe scared the other party?

After thinking about it, I got up and got the bag.

The bag was filled with an ordinary gray cloth robe, and Feng Yu took it to change it. He thought again. Among the rumors, scholars and others were the most attractive to ghosts. Why would they pretend to be scholars and take out this book to pretend?

But he flipped through the storage magic tool and found that he did not have the "Four Books and Five Classics" that ordinary scholars learned. There is one of the "My Moral Sutra", but if he recites this scripture, even if he does not use magic power, he can almost be comparable to the scriptures of subduing demons that are chanted by great monks and masters!

Under the magnificent truth, I am afraid that all the ghosts and monsters will be scared away.

Feng Yu had no choice but to turn the cover over, and rolled the scriptures into a bunch. He imitated the ordinary scholars to recite the scriptures, holding the book in one hand and carrying the other behind him. He was walking back and forth and shaking his head and chanting: "Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, flowing to the sea and never returns; do you see--"

After a while of another struggle, I still didn't see any movement.

Feng Yu was helpless and had to put away the Taoist books, add some firewood, and "swoosh" to type out a few talismans, all of which were sank into the cave walls to serve as warnings. He found a warm and comfortable position himself, put the bag behind his head, and got up on his own.

Outside the cave, the cold wind is flying and the snowflakes are flying.

Everything is as deserted as before.

When the second half of the night, the cold wind gradually stopped before I knew it, and the snow that had been falling for a long time also stopped.

The winter night seems particularly quiet for a moment.

It seems that the sound of snow crushing dead branches in the distance can be heard from a very far place.

Under such silence, a strange wind suddenly blew from outside the cave and into the cave.

Feng Yu opened his eyes almost instantly, and a relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: After waiting for the middle of the night, is he finally here?

He quietly used his magic power to destroy the warning talismans, and then closed his eyes and pretended to be false.

After a moment of pause, an obscure and secret wave quietly brushed across the cave. Immediately afterwards, a festive sound of suona suddenly sounded in the quiet mountains and fields, and the sound of footsteps became more and more obvious.

Suddenly, a fog surging, and a wedding robes appeared. There were many people in the team, including those holding signs, those who played musical instruments, those who carried red gifts and sedan chairs, and 10 or 20 people. They were playing and playing, and it was very lively.

Usually, there is such a sudden wedding team in the mountains, and anyone who sees it will be vigilant.

However, Feng Yu was aware of his ability. He realized that the ghost had already started to make moves before the wedding team appeared. If it were an ordinary business trip, they would not feel strange by the sound of suona, gongs and drums. Instead, they would react as if they were usually seen as the wedding team.

Feng Yu sighed in his heart!

As expected, he is a ghost growing wildly outside. He has many tricks, not like the quick-formed product produced by the evil land in Shiyan Village. He only knows how to attack and kill him wildly and does not know how to use his advantages as a ghost.

Thinking of what the caravan manager at Meihualing had said before, Feng Yu rolled his eyes and laughed silently: Okay, after waiting for the middle of the night, if you want to play, Dao Master will see what tricks you can play!

Immediately, I let out a "hmm~" sound, stretched out like I woke up from the dream, covered my mouth and yawned.

At this time, the wedding team was approaching. Feng Yu seemed to have just noticed it, and stood up in surprise and followed the sound to the outside of the cave. In the distance, the fog faded a little, and the wedding team was approaching from far away and was quite fast. The ghost probably thought Feng Yu had already been hit, so it was covered up very roughly.

A group of people were playing and playing, lively, and they walked faster than a carriage on the mountain road! It would be fine if it were just like this, but the 10 or 20 bride-welcoming members who held signs, sedan chairs, and musical instruments actually did not even fall on the ground while walking!

Feng Yu sighed.

Try to restrain one's eyes and not look at those people's feet.

But when he focused on the members of the wedding team, he immediately saw the flaws. The members were stiff and sluggish in their faces, with extremely inconsistent red and white paint on their faces, and their bodies were clearly angular. Feng Yu could see the identity of the other party’s paper man at a glance!

He suddenly felt a stern!

I understood the biggest problem I was facing, but I actually pretended to see through everything with a free expression, otherwise I would not be able to continue the show!

The wedding party stopped in front of Feng Yu, and a paper man with the appearance of a housekeeper walked towards him.

Feng Yu quickly looked like a scholar and asked, "Dare you ask where the guest comes from?"

The housekeeper let out a hearty laugh, and his stiff face almost made Feng Yu laugh: "My lady is a person from Meixian County and wants to go to Qingxian County. Today is the day when my lady and Qingxian Xianggong Zhang are happy! It is also a fate to meet a gentleman here. Please share some gifts with joy. Don't dislike him!"

The paper man butler took out the "happy gift" wrapped in red paper and stuffed it straight into Feng Yu's hand.

Feng Yu browed.

Under the red paper, the yin energy of the thing wrapped is so strong that it cannot be dissolved. What is "complaining with joy". If ordinary people really want to accept this "happy gift", they will probably have to pay their souls!

Even from Feng Yu's perspective, that thing is evil and disgusting!

But the stage he set up was overturned like this. Aren’t the previous efforts was wasted? Why not just meet and start fighting! He immediately gritted his teeth, resisted the disgust and accepted the "happy gift", and immediately put it in his arms. The "urgent" look made the butler's face show a stiff joy.

Little did they know that there were not many other things in Feng Yu's arms, but there was a thick stack of talismans.

That thing is a dream to affect Feng Yu!

Seeing Feng Yu received the "happy gift", the paper man butler thought that the other party was deeply hit, and the more he didn't hide it, he said just now, "Today is a happy day." He turned his eyes and immediately changed his words: "Oh, I didn't expect the snow to fall so hard, and the road ahead is difficult to move forward. I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Qingxian today. Why not just take a break here for half a day and wait for the snow to stop before leaving. Sir, won't disturb you, right?"
