"...I've used similar things before, and they were all very bitter and smelled bad." Qing Wu looked normal, without any sign of lying.
Xiao Chenyan didn't notice anything, but he concealed the strangeness in his heart and nodded.
Qing Wu, however, stared at the ointment and snatched it away without waiting for him to take it back.
"This ointment tastes sweet and strange. Was it specially developed for that stupid kid you mentioned?"
Xiao Chenyan hummed, but he didn't mind her taking the opportunity to "get something for free".
Qing Wu listened to the "hmm" and hummed in her heart. There was this sweet ointment, but when she was a child, she was given bitter medicine with a coptis flavor. Was he deliberately teasing her?
"I think that silly kid will really like this medicine."
"I don't know."
"Um?"
“I didn’t have time to send it out.”
Qing Wu was stunned for a moment, and when Xiao Chenyan looked at her, she lowered her eyes to hide her fear and stuffed the ointment into her pocket, but she was thinking in her heart, it seems that this medicine was made after her death.
I have misunderstood this inkstone again.
Qing Wu changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "What are you going to do at Chuyun Temple? You're not going to accompany me on purpose, are you?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at her, his eyes hinting at you thinking too much.
"A spy near Izumo Mountain sent a message that Izumo Temple was going to hold a ceremony to pray for the child Naji. People with the surname of Naji from nearby villages and towns all came here after hearing the news."
Qing Wu frowned. She knew there was something wrong with this ceremony as soon as she heard about it.
"You went to stop them?" Qing Wuyu: "Does this count as leading troops privately? Will the useless Crown Prince of the East Palace take the opportunity to cause trouble for you?"
"He can't take care of himself." Xiao Chenyan said indifferently: "What's more, there are only a dozen people on this trip, how can it be called a troop transfer."
Qing Wu had never asked about the affairs of the court and the country, so she really had no idea what kind of trouble Xiao Chenyan had caused for the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
However, considering Xiao Chenyan's temper, if he didn't retaliate against the prince for daring to arrange a 'marriage on Ghost Festival' for him, it would be out of his character to do so.
"Before going to Chuyun Temple, let's go to Henglu Mountain first." Qing Wu lifted the curtain and took a look: "It's on the way."
She tilted her head to meet Xiao Chenyan's inquiring gaze and smiled: "Trust me, there's no harm in taking one more trip."
"Go find the little mountain spirit?"
"Not really." Qing Wu smiled and said, "Just wait and see."
If you want to go to Izumo-kan, it will take a whole day to travel by carriage. If you go slower, it may take two days on the road.
Just as Qingwu and the others were walking slowly towards Henglu Mountain, there was another "group of people" also on the way to Henglu Mountain.
Baimei was driving the donkey cart towards the official carriage, and even though it was broad daylight, he could not hide his nervousness between his brows.
The little fox came out of the car and whispered, "We wasted too much time before. Can we get to the mountain temple before nightfall?"
"You have to do it even if you have to." Bai Meiyu: "Go back to the carriage quickly and watch over the little ghosts. Tell them not to move around. Their current bodies can't stand it."
The little fox obediently crawled back into the carriage, and saw that the carriage was full of paper boys and girls, stacked up like a pyramid.
"Oh, the dog is going to crush me to death."
"Hu Zi's big butt is blocking my nose!"
"Who stabbed me in the back?"
"Ahhhh I'm going to be thrown out!"
There was a lot of noise in the carriage. The little fox stood on his two feet, covered his ears with his two paws, and said in pain: "Stop making noise! It's killing me!"
"Huo Huo, help me move!"
“Huo Huo…”
"Fire Fire~~"
Huo Huo is the name of the little fox, and what are contained in the paper figurines are little ghosts.
The little fox looked hopeless and hissed at them.
"Stop making noise! It's enough to scare a living person in broad daylight. Don't you think we're causing enough trouble?"
The little ghosts suddenly became quiet.
The little fox looked like an adult, with his hands on his hips, and said, "Be obedient, it wasn't easy for Wrinkle and I to cheat... I found the money and made a container for you."
"Once we get to the Mountain Spirit Temple, at midnight tonight, Chuangbaba and I will think of a way to send you to reincarnation."
The little ghost named Hu Zi tried hard to turn his head. Because he was a paper man, the way he twisted his neck looked particularly scary.
"Can we really be reincarnated? But aren't there evil ghosts all over the Yin-Yang Road? Can Grandpa Bai defeat them?"
"Hey, I'm still here!" The little fox was not very confident, so he coughed and said, "Don't worry, although Wrinkle is useless now, he is rich now, and money makes the world go round. There will be no problem!"
"We believe in Huo Huo~"
"Believe in Grandpa Bai!"
A group of little ghosts have unconditional trust in their savior (the fox).
After all, if it weren't for Baimei and the little fox, they would have fallen into Qu Huang's trap long ago.
The little fox was also nervous.
Qu Huang occupied the Yin-Yang Road and wanted to tear a crack from under the other party's nose to send these little ghosts to reincarnate. The difficulty can be imagined.
Although Chuangbaba said that he knew someone in the underworld, the little fox remained skeptical.
What it was more worried about was where they were going on this trip.
As far as it knew, the mountain temple had been destroyed, and even its original name had been taken away. It was now called Infant-Eating Mountain.
Although Zhou Baba said that he had a way to restore the spiritual charm of the Mountain Spirit Temple and use the power of the mountain spirit to protect these little ghosts and let them enter the Yin-Yang Road smoothly, but just going up the mountain was very dangerous.
That mountain must be the mandrill’s lair now!
Now they only hope to get to the mountain and into the temple before nightfall. Once the sun sets, they will be caught up as soon as they step into the mountain gate.
Time flies, and as the sun sets in the west and only the afterglow remains, the little fox becomes more and more anxious.
Baimei also had a serious expression and kept whipping the donkey cart, hoping that it would go faster.
"It's too late!" The little fox ran out and said, "We are still some distance away from the foot of the mountain. Going up the mountain at night is a dead end. Wrinkled, we have to find a place to hide first."
Bai Mei gritted his teeth and said, "We can't hide. There is nowhere to hide! We must go into the mountains tonight. This is our last chance."
"But……"
The little fox's voice was choked in his throat, because at this moment, the sky had become completely gloomy, and the wind blowing in the face seemed to be mixed with a sense of gloom.
The sky seemed to become dark in an instant.
At that moment, Baimei and the little fox both saw a ghost appear on the road beside the forest ahead. It was a male ghost, but he had no little finger on his left hand and his face was pale.
When 㱗 saw the donkey cart, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"It's a ghost!" The little fox screamed, "Damn it, it's the ghost of that bad ghost messenger. He found us, and the ghost messenger will be here soon!"
The moment when the demon was about to disappear into the darkness.
A flash of light suddenly penetrated it, and at the same time, a childish but majestic voice sounded:
"You filthy ghost, you dare to cause trouble at the foot of Henglu Mountain? You are seeking death!"
