Shuluo Town is located at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, surrounded by mountains in the east, west and south, and Lutou River in the north. It is extremely remote.After turning over the Yunwu Mountain in the south, you will enter the place where Huoyu Dong and long-necked Miao live together in Yunnan.Although there has been a constant flow of merchants on the border between Sichuan and Yunnan since ancient times, the town is already some distance away from the southbound commercial road, and there are not many products. Except for a few scattered salt merchants who stop here temporarily, there is no outsider to disturb them. .The residents of the town live a life like a paradise.

In late autumn, humid rain permeated the sky above this border town.Just when the townspeople were about to harvest the rice and prepare to repair the houses, they found that there were suddenly many strangers in the town. These people seemed to come one after another, and seemed to come to the town overnight.They neither visited relatives or friends, nor did they do business. They disappeared during the day, as if they disappeared out of thin air in the depths of the densely packed alleys of the town.At night, they pop up suddenly, and countless nocturnal spirits wander around the town silently.

The residents couldn't tell how many of them there were, let alone the purpose of their coming to this town, but they all felt a little inexplicable panic in their hearts, and closed their doors and houses as soon as night fell, hoping that they would leave as soon as possible. Pei Hang is a special one among these strangers. He didn't bring any luggage, and he was wearing a Confucian blue shirt, looking gentle and polite, but his sleeves were surprisingly long, hanging down to his knees.He has been in this town for seven days, but no one has ever seen his hands.Unlike others, Pei Hang didn't go for a stroll at night, but stayed in the only inn in the whole town.During the day, I reserved the Eight Immortals table by the window on the second floor, ordered a bowl of clear water, and stared out of the window, looking at it for a whole day.

Except for Qingshui, he has never ordered anything in the inn, but the rewards are more than the guests who eat big fish and meat.No wonder the owner of the inn had a smile on his face when he saw him. There are more and more legends about him in the town.Some people say that he is waiting for someone; some say that he is looking for the legendary book from the sky buried in the town before the ascension of Taoist Baiyuan; This woman no longer lives here, but he still comes back and looks at the empty attic every day. Therefore, the waiter sometimes couldn't help being curious, and secretly looked out of the window from where he was sitting.

But the result was quite disappointing: there was no special view from the window.Opposite the narrow bluestone road, there is also a large row of ordinary attics. The large blocks of blue bricks are painted white with inferior lime, like the lead powder on the face of a low-class prostitute.A row of black tiles was densely pressed down along the eaves, and the edges of the tiles were outlined with rain lines, spreading all the way to the bluestone slab in front of the threshold. There was just a heavy rain last night, and the weather this evening is a bit cold, and the air is filled with the smell of decaying animals and plants.

There are also a few individual guests scattered in the inn, drinking and talking loudly at the same time. A very thin sob came from the corner of the room.In the sound of punching and commanding, this sobbing was extremely inconspicuous, as if it was just a meow. Pei Hangdong's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he was fixed on the counter in front of him. There is a lot of pagoda trees here, and the furniture of ordinary people in the town is made of two pieces of wooden pier and a thick board, but the counter in front of me is different, it is completely made of a surprisingly large stone mortar, which looks bulky and old. The countertop is covered with thick wooden boards, two-thirds of which have turned oil black.

Beside the counter, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was sitting on the floor leaning on the cold stone mortar, her tattered straw hat pulled down very low, revealing a few wisps of dry yellow hair. She was sobbing softly, the weather wasn't cold, but she wrapped her body tightly in a long linen gown worn by men, revealing the bulging pockets in her arms, obviously hiding something. Pei Hang's face changed, he pushed away the clear water in front of him, and walked slowly towards the girl. The girl was still sobbing, she didn't seem to notice that Pei Hang was standing in front of her.

Pei Hang's face was very gloomy: "What's your name, where are you from?" The little girl raised her head slightly, then buried herself down again, holding tightly to the object in her arms, mumbling in her mouth, but couldn't make out what she was saying. Pei Hang sneered and pointed to her arms: "What is this? Take it out!" The little girl curled up, protecting the thing in her arms, shaking her head. Pei Hang's pale face suddenly showed a ferocious look, his blue long sleeves shrank suddenly, and a pair of big hands had already clasped the little girl's throat.The skin of these hands is sallow, but the knuckles are very prominent, and there is a forked finger next to the thumb, which looks quite like a bird's claw.He raised it lightly, and the little girl let out a muffled groan, and he lifted her up high.

The little girl's straw hat fell to the ground, revealing a pale and frightened face.Her eyes were large but lifeless, very finely contoured, and her skin had a chalky tinge--a dying color, and she seemed not to live much longer. Pei Hang showed no mercy, he grabbed the little girl's thin shoulders and shook them vigorously, the girl let out a cry of surprise, and the object in her arms fell out. Pei Hang grabbed the thing in his hand - it was a doll made of rags. This doll looks ordinary, but its head is much bigger, almost the size of a real human head, and it is out of proportion to its small body.There were no facial features on the huge face, it was only covered with a white cloth, soaked with large dirty water stains, looking in a trance, it looked like a bloody face.The doll is made very crudely, and the stuffed straw sticks out in all directions, which looks weird and terrifying in the dim light.

Pei Hang threw the girl aside, stretched out his fingers, kneaded the doll carefully three times, and tapped it inch by inch twice.The look on his face was a little disappointed.The doll is indeed very old, it is not made temporarily, the surface is not poisoned, the inside is full of straw, and there is no hidden compartment for hiding things. It seems that this is just an ordinary doll. Maybe it's because I've been waiting here for too long, and I've already lost everything.Pei Hang laughed at himself, adjusted his sleeves, took out a few copper coins through the sleeves, sprinkled them on the girl, and was about to walk away.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes wide in horror, stared at him, and cried, "Daddy was killed... a lot of ants... save me, save me!" Pei Hang's expression changed. He knew that at this time, any murder in the town might be related to his purpose of coming here! He said coldly: "Who is your father, what happened to him?" The little girl covered her face and just repeated those few words without answering.Pei Hang was about to make a fuss when a fat middle-aged man in silk and satin came out next to him: "This guest officer, calm down..." It was the innkeeper who heard the sound. Seeing that the little girl was crazy and silly, Pei Hang couldn't ask any questions, so he let her go and said to the boss, "Who is she?" The boss smiled all over his face and said: "This girl is not from the local area. She came to the inn with her father three days ago and said that there was a famine in her hometown. She came to this town to join relatives. She was temporarily sheltered in the locust tree forest in the west. Unexpectedly, after a night of rain, her father died of a sudden illness, and she was left crying in the town all day long, saying that she was going to sell her body to bury her father. Come to be a servant girl and keep company with the little girl, but it is a pity that this girl was overly frightened and became a little crazy, who would dare to buy her now? I can't drive her away, so I just beg for some leftover soup in the town. I don't know why She ran into the store from time to time, disturbing the guest officer's interest. I'll send someone to throw her into the street—Xiao Er!" Pei Hang waved his hand and said, "Slow down." He knelt down and patted the little girl's head lightly: "Tell me, how did your father die?" The little girl raised her head tremblingly, and said with a half-crying and half-smiling voice, "Sleeping...dreaming...ants..." Pei Hang frowned: "Did your father die in a dream?" The little girl nodded, then shook her head again. Pei Hang sighed, and took out a piece of silver: "I've bought you, take me to bury your father." The little girl looked at the silver in disbelief. After a long time, she finally snatched it, picked up the doll, and stumbled towards the door. At the foot of the mountain, a dense locust forest extends to the depths of the foothills.The wet ground is full of new fungus and crawling reptiles that come out to feed. Under a huge locust tree, an ant nest half a person's height protruded, and a corpse that had already started to decay was hung above the ant nest! The eyes of the corpse had been eaten away, leaving only two huge blood holes. From time to time, swarms of black ants crawled in and out of his nostrils and ears, holding the scraps of flesh and blood on the raised tongs, showing off their might Walking into the ant nest.And more companions densely covered his body, desperately burrowing down from the wound. There was no longer an inch of intact skin on the corpse. The scene was so terrifying that Pei Hang couldn't help but change his face slightly. A pure smile appeared on the little girl's face, and she rushed towards the rotten corpse: "Father!" Pei Hang grabbed her and said, "Are you crazy? They will eat you too!" He picked up a branch from the ground and knocked it down from the head of the corpse.The corpse was too broken, and Pei Hang could only be sure that this person was a middle-aged man before his death. Apart from the ant marks all over his body, he had not suffered any fatal injuries. His blood had already coagulated, and there seemed to be no trace of poisoning. Pei Hang shook his head and threw the branch away.Maybe this is just an ordinary refugee who has been eating and sleeping in the open all day long, which caused the attack of a secret disease, died of a sudden illness in a rainy night, and was dismembered by tens of thousands of ants. "Let me go!" The little girl struggled, trying to get closer to the corpse.Pei Hang forced the girl back a few steps, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out some red powder, lit the fire again, and threw it on it. With a scoff, a huge flame burst out, engulfing the ant nest and the corpse in an instant. "Father!" the little girl screamed and threw herself on the fire frantically.She struggled with all her strength, the veins under her thin skin bulged, and her thin body seemed to be filled with a magical power, Pei Hang couldn't help frowning. Suddenly, she let out a cat-like scream, as if all the strength in her body had been drained, she slid softly to the ground. Pei Hang tilted his head, another locust stone brushed past his ear, and he said angrily, "Who?" A soft laughter sounded from the other side of the woods, and it seemed to be swayed by the mountain wind in an instant. Pei Hang's heart moved, he had an inexplicable premonition - this person must be related to his purpose of coming here!So, ignoring the little girl's life and death, she ran after the woods. As the sun slanted to the west, the towering ancient trees in the forest looked gloomy, and the huge roots were tangled and circling, like sealed monsters, which would come back to life at any moment and devour people. Pei Hang followed the sound all the way, and after walking through the forest for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the dim light outside the forest. Ahead is a sloping land, and a small stream flows slowly to an unknown place.The soft laughter has long since disappeared, surrounded by mountains in the distance, and there is no one left.Instead, not far away from him, a black donkey carrying a woman was walking towards him along the creek.Another maid-like figure held the rein in one hand and a bamboo basket with some silver-plated drinking utensils in the other.The two chatted casually, laughing from time to time. The second daughter talked and laughed, and walked past him as if he never existed. A smile appeared on Pei Hang's face, he caught up two steps, cupped his hands and said, "The girl on the donkey, please stay." The servant girl snatched it up and stood in front of him, saying angrily, "My lady's name is Yunying, not a girl on a donkey!" The young lady shook her head and said in a gentle voice: "Yin Niang, don't talk too much, you back down." The maid pursed her lips, put down the basket and walked away. Pei Hang straightened her sleeves and said, "Miss Yunying, I'm here, Pei Hang. I've worked hard all the way, and I want to ask the girl for a sip of water." This "Miss Yunying" turned her head slowly. Pei Hang couldn't help but his complexion changed. It was a face that people will never forget.Her eyes were slender like silk, and her narrow face was painted white, which still couldn't cover the yellowish freckles on her cheeks.A cloud of blood-red rouge bloomed on each cheek, making her high nose even more blunt.This face could not be called beautiful in any case, but an indescribably strange aura was compelling and captivating. Yunying turned her eyes and smiled: "Young master, why do you look at me like this?" She leaned over and took out a wine glass from the basket, handed it to Pei Hang, untied the water bag tied around the donkey's neck, and was about to fill it up. , only to find that the water bladder was empty. Yunying shook her head and said with an apologetic smile: "It's really unfortunate..." Pei Hang watched her actions.She has a mediocre appearance, but her every move is extremely charming and elegant, without the vulgarity of a country girl.Pei Hang's complexion has calmed down, and he smiled and said: "If you don't do Miss' business, I will not be lucky. But I don't know where Miss is. Why are you still walking alone on the mountain road at dusk?" Yunying covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Sweeping mother's grave, I don't want to come home late." With an apologetic face, Pei Hang cupped his hands and said, "I offended Lingtang by saying something unintentional." A meaningful smile bloomed on Yunying's long snow-white face: "My lord, you don't need to apologize, this mother is not the biological mother who gave birth to Yunying." Pei Hang let out an "oh". Yunying smiled again and said: "To be honest, Yunying is not a woman from a good family." She paused, looked at Pei Hang, winking like silk and said: "Xiaoman from the Bai family is a colleague, Su Xiao from Qiantang is the predecessor, Yunying It is the wind and dust that has fallen, welcoming the people who have been sent." Pei Hang understood, and said: "So that's the case, I don't know where the girl is?" Yunying smiled and said: "Don't be afraid that my son will laugh at me. My mother died of illness a year ago, and only me and the maid are left. We rely on a few regular customers to barely make ends meet. This is a remote place, and there are not many guests. Fortunately, the owner of the Yunlai Inn in the town takes good care of us. He rented a room in the attic across from the inn for Yinniang and I to shelter in." A smile floated on Pei Hang's face—they lived in the attic opposite the inn, and he was right.So he chuckled and said, "I wonder if I can go to visit tonight?" Yunying looked Pei Hang up and down a few times, but she didn't answer, she just said softly: "For a person like Young Master, who condescends to come to Shura Town, he must have other plans, but he doesn't know what it is?" Pei Hang was still smiling, but his smile was very gloomy: "I'm here to find someone." Yunying said: "May I ask how many people you want?" Pei Hang said: "Not many, eleven." Yunying smiled and said, "Have you found your son?" Pei Hang shook his head and said, "No, not a single one." Yunying glanced at him sideways: "Why are you looking for these people, Master?" Pei Hang looked into the distance and said with a smile, "Send them somewhere." Yunying clapped her hands and laughed, "I see, the young master is a fast catcher who came to the town to arrest criminals. Recently, a lot of unexplained people came to the town, and the people in the town were scared to death, which made my business go bad. There are many. It would be a good thing if you can capture them all back." Pei Hang shook his head, looked at her face, and said with a half-smile: "The girl guessed wrong, I only kill people, not arrest people." Pei Hang watched Yunying's expression, but she didn't seem to hear it, she just looked up at the sky, lightly raised the whip and whipped the green donkey: "It's getting late, I'm leaving——Yinniang—" She glanced at Pei Hang again, covered her mouth with a smile and said, "When the young master finishes looking for someone, come and find me." Without waiting for Pei Hang's answer, in the twilight rain, the hooves of the green donkey were beating, and they had gone away in a while. The smile on Pei Hang's face gradually turned cold. He waited here for seven days, and it seemed that it was not in vain. The moment their figures disappeared into the twilight, this woman covered in red and vulgar green, reined in the green donkey, turned her face as white as paper, and smiled at him captivatingly.That strange aura suddenly rushed towards him again. Only then did Pei Hang realize that this was the breath of death. It's weird, but it's also touching. 〖Legendary Ability of "Pei Hang" A drink of fine nectar will give rise to a hundred emotions, and all the clouds will be seen when the Xuanshuang is smashed. The blue bridge is the Immortal Cave, so why bother to climb up to Yuqing. During the Changqing period of the Tang Dynasty, a failed scholar named Pei Hang traveled to Lanqiaoyi Station, and suddenly felt thirsty, so he begged for water from an old lady spinning hemp in a thatched hut beside the road.Grandma saw that Pei Hang was a scholar, so she asked her granddaughter Yunying to bring him water to drink. After Pei Hang saw Yunying, he was immediately dumbfounded.What a beautiful woman that is!The red orchids in the deep valley cannot match her beauty, and the beautiful jade in the blue fields cannot describe her beauty.Pei Hang fell in love at first sight and proposed to the old woman.Grandma also thinks that Pei Hang is a modest gentleman, and she agrees with this marriage very much, but she wants Pei Hang to take a white jade pestle as a dowry, because she has a pill of immortality, which must be crushed with a white jade pestle before taking it, and then she can become a fairy.Pei Hang eagerly agreed, and made an appointment with Grandma for a hundred days, and then went around looking for the whereabouts of the white jade pestle. After searching for several months, Pei Hang finally bought the pestle and mortar from an old jade seller.He spent all his money and even sold the horse servants, so he could only walk to the Blue Bridge Station with the pestle and mortar on his back.Grandma was very happy to see Pei Hang, so she took out the fairy medicine and asked Pei Hang to help make it. Pei Hang pounded medicine during the day and rested at night, but the sound of pounding medicine continued all night long.It turned out that a jade rabbit was helping Pei Hang to make the medicine. The light on the jade rabbit reflected the jade light, and the fragrance from the fairy medicine filled the whole medicine room, like a fairyland.Pei Hang's determination became stronger, and after a hundred days, he finally smashed the medicine.Peihang and Yunying finally became the relatives of the gods and ascended to the fairyland. The case of Feiyan: Pei Hang's encounter with an immortal in this story is simpler than Wang Xianke's search for Wushuang, and Liu Yi's acquisition of a dragon girl.However, Lanqiao, Jade Rabbit, Xuanshuang, and Qiongye are all touched with fairy brushes, but the beauty lies in the artistic conception. 〗
