    The girl asked Chang Rong and others to help bury the bones in the cave into the ground, and performed a simple ritual to redeem the souls of those who were killed by the snake demon.

    The sky outside the cave is not bright yet, there are only some faint blue-gray shadows.

    The group of people walked out of the cave and saw the rising sun finally showing its light in the east. The previous cold and depressing atmosphere in the mountain was swept away, and they all felt as if they were in another world.

    The girl took several breaths of the cool morning mist happily and sighed: "Finally, we have fulfilled our mission."

    Lin Xiao was originally standing side by side with the girl, but after hearing this, he turned to look at the girl.

    The golden morning sun softly sprinkled on her face, making her skin as white and delicate as the finest jade. Lin Xiao could even see the fine hairs on her face, which were a few more than those seen under the moonlight.  Mingli Yingwan is inexplicable.

    It¡¯s just that it¡¯s still a little less red, not healthy and rosy enough.

    Lin Xiao watched from the sidelines, wondering if this woman had some congenital defect?  If you really have a hidden disease, why do you have to deal with monsters and ghosts all day long?

    After pondering for a while, he said: "Last night, the snake demon led us down the mountain. When we finally reached the big rock, the road was clearly in front of us, but we couldn't get around it. But what tricks did the young lady use?"

    The girl nodded and said with a smile: "When I went up the mountain, in order to prevent the monsters in the mountain from escaping, I sealed the barrier at the exit. I heard from your men that when you went up the mountain, the snake demon also used blinding methods to get close to you.  It's just a matter of treating others in their own way.¡±

    So when she met Lin Xiao and his party by the stream, she did not stop them from going down the mountain. If Lin Xiao and the others were not monsters, they would be able to go down the mountain smoothly. If they were blocked by a barrier, it meant that at least one of them was a monster. She just wanted to  Just wait and see what happens.

    Lin Xiao frowned: "This monster has been causing chaos for several years, and it has killed many innocent people."

    "No." The girl answered: "I passed by this place with my master half a month ago. When my master saw the demonic aura in this mountain, he guessed that there was probably a big evil in the mountain. But at that time, he was busy dealing with other monsters and had no time to explore.  After all, when I think about this in the past few days, I always feel uneasy, so I asked me to bring the treasure of our temple to explore the truth."

    Lin Xiao's eyes fell on the golden bell on the girl's chest. This kind of treasure is indeed rare in the world. If it hadn't been for its blessing last night, there was no guarantee that he, Chang Rong and the others would not be buried in the belly of the snake. Even the little Taoist nun herself would be the same.  Doomed.

    It¡¯s just that since her master could give up the treasure of Yiguan to her, it means that he loves this apprentice very much in his heart, so why is he willing to let her take risks alone?

    The girl didn't notice Lin Xiao's thoughtful gaze. She only looked at the sword on Lin Xiao's waist curiously and said, "Sir, I dare to ask you about the origin of the sword. It's so great."

    Lin Xiao hesitated for a while, then took off the sword from his waist and showed it to the girl for a closer look: "This was given to me by my grandfather before his death. I only know its name is Chixiao. My grandfather cherished this sword very much and almost never left it.  body, but I never knew it had the effect of warding off evil spirits."

    Seeing the girl taking the sword and playing with it with great interest, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. This situation looked like two children comparing their favorite toys. However, there were differences between men and women, and the girl could freely ask for it.  He took his sword and slowly admired it, but he was embarrassed to take a closer look at a young lady's personal accessories.

    He coughed slightly and changed the subject: "After entering the mountain yesterday, I encountered a ghost in that unknown village. The ghost came and went without a trace. After I used the red sky to disperse it, it never appeared again.  However, I think I might be afraid of this sword."

    Hearing this, the girl looked up and looked around and said: "Most of the people you met are the ghosts of the villagers who were killed by the snake demon. Because they died unjustly and lingered in the world, they were reluctant to reincarnate. Now that the snake demon has been eliminated, I just gave them to you again.  After performing a salvation ceremony, I think they will soon be able to let go of their obsessions and re-enter the six realms of reincarnation."

    At this time, Chang Rong led Wei Bo and others to carry the unconscious Tan and Wang back to the tent by the stream along the original road. The girl seemed to feel something. After thinking about it, she took out the small medicine bottle in her purse and poured it out.  Give two pills to Lin Xiao.

    She said with some heartache: "This pill was refined by my master. The materials used are rare and rare. I don't sell even one pill for ten strings of coins on weekdays. For the sake of Mr. Lang helping me to subdue demons, I will give it to you."  Take two pills. With these pills, the two injured people can recover faster."

    Lin Xiao was a little dumbfounded. This young lady looked cheerful and decisive, but she didn't expect to be a little money-lover.

    He smiled secretly in his heart, and with a solemn expression on his face, he said: "Thank you little lady. These pills are so valuable. I got two pills last night. How can I ask the lady to give them away for free? I absolutely must not." After that, he gestured.  The attendant beside him took out the coins and handed them to the girl.

    Girls are not waryI love to eat honey cake, eat a few pieces before dinner to cushion my stomach.  "

    Lin Xiao responded with a smile. He saw Aunt Wen looking out the door from time to time while she was talking. Knowing that she was thinking about Chang Rong, he said, "Chang Rong went back to the house with me. He went to the stable now and will be back soon."  .¡±

    Aunt Wen felt relieved, straightened Lin Xiao's clothes, and sighed: "Nurtmaid has not had a good night's sleep these days since you left. She is always worried about the dangers you will encounter on the road. Today I can finally have a good sleep.  If there is no more news from you, the wet nurse will have to go to Dayin Temple to worship the Bodhisattva."

    Just as he was talking, Chang Rong came back. When the mother and son met, they exchanged greetings with each other.

    Lin Xiao changed his clothes and said to Chang Rong: "You will personally send a letter to Sanlang of Lu Guogong's house later, saying that I have returned to Chang'an and go to his house to find him in the evening."

    Chang Rong is busy.

    Thinking of something, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that a guest came to our house." As he spoke, he pursed his lips in the direction of the main room.

    After hearing this, Aunt Wen hurriedly ordered Tingfeng and others to go down. When there was no one else in the room, she said to Lin Xiao: "They say she is Cui's natal niece. She came from Youzhou. She is only two years younger than Cui. She just entered the house.  She was placed in Yihong Residence by Ms. Cui. Ms. Cui often takes her around these days and bought a lot of jewelry and clothes for her, saying that she will live in our house permanently in the future."

    Lin Xiao frowned. Although his stepmother's natal family was a famous one, it had been in decline for many years. There were only a few named relatives. How could such a big niece come from?

    Chang Rong said angrily: "What is she going to do again? Is it possible that she still wants to stuff people into the husband's room? She even pulled her niece out, and she doesn't feel embarrassed?"

    Aunt Wen shook her head and said: "That's not necessarily true. I've seen that young lady a few times. She behaves very generously and decently, unlike those flirtatious and frivolous people. Maybe it's just that the princess has to shave her head because she has to bear the burden.  .¡±

    After saying that, he sighed again: "I don't know what this princess is thinking. She has been non-stop since the day she entered the palace. Not to mention that the young man has already been granted the title of prince by the Holy Lord. Even if he has not been granted the title, the difference between the two brothers is  As a teenager, do you still expect her son to be the master of the family in the future?"

    Chang Rong said: "What did the prince say? Just let Mr. Cui do whatever you want?"

    Wen Gu shook her head: "It's not like you don't know the prince's temperament. He only likes playing with silk and bamboo all day long and doesn't care about the secular affairs of the house. During the time when you were not at home, the prince bought a batch of famous Yuefu actresses from Jiangnan.  , I heard that I have been listening to music at Yanbo Pavilion these past few days, and I am very excited."

    Lin Xiao was silent.

    My father is the most uninterested in government affairs among the princes of the imperial grandfather. He has been fond of playing the piano, flute, and reciting poems since he was young. He is more like a literati than any other literati. People in Chang'an jokingly call him the "Poetry Prince".  Fortunately, my father was able to protect himself completely when the new emperor took great measures to eradicate dissidents after he ascended the throne.

    It¡¯s just that in recent years, my father has become more and more addicted to silk and bamboo for fun, and gradually became a little crazy.  And Mrs. Cui is naturally happy to see the success. Seeing that her father doesn't care about anything, she becomes more and more courageous and stretches her hands longer and longer

    Just as he was thinking about it, Cui Nu, who was beside his father, smiled and asked to see him outside. He said that the prince and princess had set up wine and food in the Yanbo Pavilion and invited the young man to come and have a meal.

    Yanbo Pavilion is a waterside pavilion in Prince Lan's Mansion surrounded by water. The lake is filled with lotus flowers. Every midsummer, the lake is filled with soaring lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers. It couldn't be more elegant to open the window and enjoy the scenery.  But it is early spring now, and there are not even any dead branches in the lake, let alone lotus flowers.

    Today, for the first time in the Yanbo Pavilion, there was no sound of silk and bamboo instruments. The surroundings of the waterside pavilion were quiet, and the calmness was a bit strange.

    There were two rows of servants standing silently outside the corridor, each holding a palace lantern in their hands, like clay and wood sculptures, as if even the wind could not blow their clothes.

    Lin Xiao looked at the slaves¡¯ gloomy faces from a distance, reflected by the red lights, and somehow felt a strange feeling.
