Ghost Shelter System

The eighth month of the Chinese calendar is the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

To the south, in a deep mountain.

This place is called Blind Tooth Mountain, inhabited by ethnic minorities. The costumes and buildings have a primitive style. The wild beauty and ancient totem aesthetics are imprinted on everything, giving the style here a layer of mystery.

Although the style of the Miao Diaojiao House has become more and more Chinese over the past thousand years, it still maintains its local characteristics.

Five-color cloth is drying on the shelf, with colorful flags hanging around. A Han girl is wearing a plain dress, with long hair hanging on her back. She is very ladylike. She is wearing platform shoes and has a Polaroid hanging around her neck. Many rare beauties.

"Your home is so beautiful..."

Qin Xue looked at her boyfriend excitedly. His boyfriend was wearing straw sandals and plain black clothes. There were sharp tooth ornaments on both wrists. When he heard Qin Xue's praise, he showed his white teeth and smiled: "Really? Maybe I'll stay longer." No, I don’t think so. But it’s really comfortable to stay in the village.”

Her boyfriend’s name is Kwalecha Meng Qiaosheng, and his Chinese name is ‘Zou Jingyan’. Compared with his peers, he has an air of grandeur and stability about him.

It's summer vacation now, and Zou Jingyan is helping the family with work. His upper body is wet with sweat. He takes off his clothes and is covered in tendon meat, which is naturally black and as strong as iron. Qin Xue's cheeks are flushed, and her eyes are sweet.

"Xiaoxue... did you really not tell Brother Qin when you went out this time?"

Qin Xue's parents are relatively conservative. After her sophomore year this year, they will definitely not allow her to travel far away with her so-called boyfriend. So Qin Xue called her senior sister Yuan Siyu and told her parents that she was traveling, but she didn't tell Qin Kun. .

Yuan Siyu is a senior at the beginning of school. At the age when she is looking for a job, people have become independent and mature. The sign of maturity is that they are not willful. People like Qin Xue who come all the way to play without saying hello to their family and boss make Yuan Siyu very upset. worry.

Qin Xue stuck out her tongue, shrank her neck and said, "Sister Siyu... How dare I say that? My brother said that I would have to go through him to find a boyfriend. You don't know his temper... If I dare If you talk about going to Xiao Zou's house to play, my brother will definitely beat him up..."

Yuan Siyu couldn't laugh or cry. After two years of contact, the person Qin Xue mentioned the most was her brother. If she hadn't seen the eldest brother of the Qin family, she would have thought that he was a big man with a sinister face and a fierce look.

Thinking of Qin Kun, Yuan Siyu was still in a daze. That time at school, he was entangled by two terrible dirty things and trapped in the woods. Qin Kun rescued him at the critical moment. This has always been a secret in her heart. Yuan Siyu sometimes dreams about Qin Kun at night. His wild eyes and breathing with a sense of security make her heart beat faster. Unfortunately, the eldest brother of the Qin family has a girlfriend, and this love is in vain.

Although she couldn't be Xiaoxue's sister-in-law, Yuan Siyu could act like a sister-in-law and worry about her affairs.

"Xiaoxue, when did you and Xiaozou meet? You see he still has tattoos on his body. Would your brother agree to such a brother-in-law?"

Zou Jingyan was working, and Yuan Siyu and the two girls looked at each other. They had a figure like an iron tower, and behind them was a strange-looking jar. There was a tattoo of an animal head on the jar. The animal head was a skeleton. It was not clear whether it was a wolf or a dog, but it was quite clear. For ferociousness.

In addition, there are many unrecognizable patterns surrounding the urn, just like the seals in comics. Tattoos alone have become a taboo for many ordinary families when choosing a spouse.

Qin Xue was also a little worried, but she forgot about it in the blink of an eye: "It's okay. My third brother Qin Liang still has a tattoo on his arm. My brother also has a strange jar tattoo on his palm. It's nothing. Xiao Zou said that tattoo culture was created by ancient ancestors. They draw strength from nature, so they have tattoos of tigers and leopards. Now some ancient tribes still paint their faces with patterns."

Yuan Siyu is helpless. This little girl is deeply in love, and I'm afraid she won't be able to persuade her to come back. Brother Qin, I've tried my best...

The villagers are very enthusiastic. The two girls are taking photos and exploring the scenery at will. They don't mind even if it disturbs their lives. Zou Jingyan had to work and couldn't accompany them at all times, so he specially arranged for his cousin to be their guide, just to make them happy.

After they walked away, an old man came over, wearing clothes different from those of the villagers, and holding a bright-colored bone string in his hand.

"Qiao, I haven't seen you so happy for a long time."

"Grandpa Tu, is there anything you need me to do?"

Zou Jingyan respected the old man very much. He knelt down and put his hands on his forehead, prostrated himself and kowtowed.

The old man seemed to be accustomed to this gift. He helped him up and smiled slightly: "We have lived in Blind Tooth Mountain for generations, inheriting the legacy of God Panhu, and guarding the mountain and the land. But being a guardian requires courage and strength. , Maoshan Danhui, why didn’t you go?”

Zou Jingyan was silent.

After a moment, he said: "Going there will confuse my beliefs."

The old man laughed and shook his head: "Ciao, every time you experience, your courage and faith will become stronger. Warriors blessed by Black Panhu are determined and fearless. What are you afraid of?"

Zou Jingyan said blankly: "But Grandpa Tu, I have read the records in the village. A senior once went to Maoshan to visit the underworld. The underworld he saw was different from what our ancestors recorded! That ancestor went crazy in the end. I I’m afraid that after I go there, I will think that our ancestors were wrong!”

"Fools, they are all false and illusory. There is no truth or falsehood."

Zou Jingyan didn't understand.

But Grandpa Tu whispered: "Do you believe it? The underworld is larger than the underworld. The Han people's underworld is in Fengdu, and the Miao people also have their own underworld. Not only that, those Dongyi and Western barbarians He also has his own divine residence. We coexist there."

Zou Jingyan was startled.

Is what Grandpa Tu said wrong?

It seems... very reasonable!

Grandpa Tu patted his shoulder: "It's okay if you don't go this time. I heard that the reincarnated Black Panhu is facing off against Maoshan Daozi. If you don't go, you can avoid getting involved in the dispute."

"Qin Kun? Did he have a conflict with Xu Facheng?" Zou Jingyan was surprised.

"The pattern is not that small. It is Fuyu Mountain represented by Qin Kun, and Maoshan represented by Xu Facheng. Just like the dispute between Yang Shen and Fang Yantian back then. If Fang Yantian hadn't been so aggressive back then, he wouldn't have lost so miserably. In the following days, In the ten years of life and death, everyone only knows Yang Shen, who has heard of the name of Taoist Lord Yan Tian?"

Grandpa Tu recalled that time, and the animal bones all over his body began to tremble with emotion, and for a moment he turned into a phantom of a vicious dog, and then disappeared into the air.

Zou Jingyan felt that he still knew too little about the path of life and death. The fights and conflicts in the outside world confused him.

But it doesn't matter, his duty is to protect the mountains and forests.

"Grandpa Tu, do you still need people at Wuwei Mountain?"

"No need, that old tree spirit can suppress those guys. It is said that Wuwei Mountain has not been peaceful recently. It seems that there are evil things trying to let those guys out. It won't help if you stay alone."

Zou Jingyan nodded, and Grandpa Tu laughed and said: "But you can go and have a look, and it is also useful to listen to the old tree spirit's few words."
