surname teacher

Chapter 63 Ding

When he came out of the hall all the way through the long corridor and quickly ran outside the city wall, Yu Zhiji, whose breath was a little unsteady, even blushed.

He dared to swear that no one could believe what he had just witnessed, even to a certain extent, even he himself was still a little bit unsure.

But the fact is precisely that he watched Chong Jun being taken away by a group of rats driven by the unknown Mei Lang, and before leaving, the conversation between Mei Lang and Qin Geng made Yu Zhi, who was hiding beside him at that time. Ji's back felt cold for a while, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Your Majesty is very forgetful, isn't he just pretending to be confused? Could it be that he also forgot like the brothers of the Zhang family who deserved to be hacked into pieces? Everything you got today...was given to you at the beginning Yet?"

This was a bit vague and weird, but Yu Zhiji, who was squatting behind the low wall at that time, clearly felt a sense of terrifying and malicious pressure gradually covering the temple at this moment. It felt like a pungent smell similar to burning realgar powder gradually began to permeate the long corridor outside the temple.

But Qin Gentiana, whose complexion and pupils instantly became a little strange when he smelled the weird smell that was obviously aimed at him, laughed for a short while before replying in a hoarse voice,

"...Huh? I really don't remember who gave me anything special. Could it be that you gave it to me with your funny eight-character eyebrow?"

"...You... You, a viper who is about to die, dare to be arrogant! What are you idiots waiting for! Go up and take him down!!!"

I thought I could capture Zhang Bingzhong as smoothly as I did when I subdued Zhang Bingzhong in the dormitory, but I was humiliated by this guy before I could do it.

Meilang with an ugly face raised the whip in his hand angrily and threw it towards Qin Gentian's face, but Qin Gentian grabbed the whip and threw it back to his face fiercely, and let out a mournful cry. Call.

"Ah! You...you dare to hit me...you dare to hit me!!"

Even half of his cheek was broken by this blow, Meilang, who was born short and no different from a dwarf, held his bloody half of his cheek and opened his mouth through gritted teeth, and because of the smell of realgar powder, he was forced to restore most of his original form Seeing this, Gentiana Qin just pointed his pale lower lip with his green-scaled fingers and smiled, then rolled his eyes and muttered carelessly,

"The last person who dared to scold me, I tied her up and strangled her mouth with hot scissors; the last person who dared to beat me, I put his head in an empty pool, And watching the water in the water pipe submerge his face little by little, and finally let him drown in it... Which do you want to try now?"

It is rare for people to say such things in person, but the reason why Qin Gentiana, who has always been notorious in the Chong world, has come to this point is obviously enough to make people fear him or obey him.

Sure enough, Mei Lang, who was still arrogant at first, turned pale when he said this, his lips trembled for a long time but he didn't dare to say a word.

And Qin Gentian, who casually frightened the boy who had never seen the world, laughed inexplicably. When he noticed that his legs were really starting to turn back into snake tails, he looked at the people in front of him who seemed to have planned it long ago. The corners of the mouse's lips curled up again after making a string.

"Tell me, where is the old haunted master now?"

"Heh, Mr. Chong still remember the old Mr. Sui?"

"Whether I remember him or not, it's not your turn to shout in front of me now, stop talking nonsense, take me to see him."

Regardless of the truth or falsehood of Gentiana Qin's words, just the words "Old Suizhu" made Yu Zhiji, who was hiding beside her with a pale face, cover her mouth in fright.

After all, even the little dolls on the side of the road knew that the entire Demonic World knew that after Zhang Fengqing became the Demonic Lord, the old Demonic Lord was imprisoned by him in the inner wall and there was no room for him to stand up.

Over the years, although the big guys still put the two names of old ghost or old ghost on their lips and occasionally say a few words, no one believes that he is more cruel and bloodthirsty than Zhang Bingzhong, whose legendary strength can The evil ancestors who competed with the ancestors on the other side of the door would actually appear again.

And Meilang, who was still trembling with anger, forcibly calmed down when he heard Qin Gentian talking about the old ghost, and only after a while did he raise his funny eyebrows and sneered, and then dropped his mocking eyes. Gentiana Qin glanced twice with his face covered with blue soft smoke.

"...Mr. Chong just remember the name of the old ghost in your heart. I heard that your face was replaced by the old ghost. Now that the old ghost has returned to the world, some people from the past Xiao Xiao naturally cannot escape, you are in the spring tide right now, your strength is not as good as usual, and the smell of realgar makes you almost unable to hold a human form, right?"

"..."

"Unfortunately... even if your subordinates in Chishui and Xuanqiu heard the news, they would not be able to arrive immediately tonight, so I advise Mr. Chong to be honest and listen to me, and let us handle the happy event tonight. Finish, don't force me to really turn against you..."

Mei Lang's words had fully revealed the meaning of the threat, and Qin Geng, who looked at him blankly when he heard the words, was a little surprised that he even knew that he was in spring.

But on the other hand, he still didn't quite understand why Meilang or the old haunted master behind him insisted on letting himself and Xiaoshi make this inexplicable marriage, and he seemed to see the probing meaning in Qin Gentian's eyes Meilang, who was wiping the blood on his face with the back of his hand, just snorted coldly and explained in a mocking tone,

"It's not just Mr. Chong who wants to find the old man with the wick, but whether the old ghost can take this opportunity to restore his former power, now we have to see if he can catch the old man this time, as long as some people don't cause trouble for us Well, after this lively wedding event tonight, the old ghost will naturally be willing to see him..."

At this point in the conversation, Mei Lang, who still had a wound on his face, didn't say much anymore, and waved his hand with a sullen face to signal those rats to come up first, and took away Qin Gentian, who didn't seem to want to continue to resist, and took advantage of it. At this subtle but appropriate timing, Yu Zhiji, who witnessed the whole process by the side, was able to escape and ran out quickly.

It's just that after escaping all the way at this moment and spreading out the paper ball that Qin Gentian had stuffed for him before leaving, Yu Zhiji was still in shock.

And thinking of what might be happening in the depths of the hall at this moment that outsiders haven't had time to know, the little Chongnu, who was still clutching the ball of paper Qin Gentiana gave him in his sweaty palm, lowered his head nervously.

When he spread his hand tremblingly, the little piece of paper lying in his palm suddenly stretched itself, crawled down and landed on the ground, and instantly turned into a faceless little paper man with all hands and feet... Yu Zhiji waved to the stunned Yu Zhiji.

……

"Hey, it looks amazing. What are these moving little paper figurines, the surname is Teacher?"

In the dark alley, the little paper people stumbling forward on the ground are moving dexterously through the night to go out of the alley, but in the darkness where people's faces can't be seen clearly, they can only vaguely hear a cool voice. The gentle and pleasant voice of the young man softly replied to the curious young man who asked,

"Paper."

"Paper?"

"Well, paper is the easiest carrier to accept ghosts and fairies besides the human body. There used to be a saying that moving paper is a ghost, and non-moving paper is a corpse. Ghosts after death can easily attach to It's on paper, but it can't be attached to other dead things because of this... I prepared some paper lords before I came, and after the happy event in the nest begins, I can also ask them to help us check the news in the ghost world .”

"Ah, then what is that piece of paper that you just dipped in Grandpa Deng's lamp oil..."

"The art of the door, after mastering it proficiently, you can use a piece of paper as a carrier and the blood of your descendants to call out the ancestors of each surname. Deng Lao is a descendant of the Ding family. ①Ding's ancestor is Jiang Shang, also It is Jiang Taigong’s descendant, Ding Gongji. Legend has it that Ding Gongji was passed down by his father, and has the ability to catch flying fish from the Milky Way and travel the world. If it is inconvenient to leave the world later, we can ask him to come out and help a little. busy."

"Oh, so that's how it is... that... surnamed teacher, let me tell you the truth, you are really much better than those grandparents who my grandma took me to meet in the countryside. I've never heard of it..."

Hearing that Shi Xiaoguang, who was squatting quietly with him outside Dead End Alley, also showed a sudden realization and even a little admiration expression, and when he heard that this silly boy confused the orthodox sect's art with the tricks used by those witches, he casually Jin Heng, who picked up the last little paper man who was lingering in his palm and refused to leave, put it on the ground, and gently drove it away with his hands, didn't say anything.

On the contrary, the old man Dengxian, who was lying on Shi Xiaoguang's shoulder and turned into a blurred shadow, coughed impatiently when he heard his words, and then loudly educated Shi Xiaoguang.

"What can you know, you stupid kid who is about to die? From ancient times to the present, anyone who can be called a teacher with the surname must be a dragon and phoenix among the people. The ancestors personally selected them and raised them strictly since they were young. This kind of ability is not learned by a teacher with a surname of his own..."

Shi Xiaoguang, who was blushing at the old man's words, stammered and replied, "I'm gracious." After returning home, he must learn the surname teacher, and Jin Heng, who was standing on the side with an expressionless face, just didn't like it. He frowned freely, then looked at the terrified Shi Xiaoguang and said slowly,

"Actually, I haven't been a serious and hardworking person since I was a child. My grandfather still tells me that I can't accomplish anything, so don't learn from me. There is nothing to learn."

The ashamed Shi Xiaoguang nodded gratefully when Jin Heng took the initiative to save him from the siege. However, when the old man Dengxin heard this, he automatically understood it into another meaning, and immediately sternly taught Shi Xiaoguang at the top of his voice. ,

"Listen to the humble tone of someone surnamed teacher! He didn't work hard since he was a child, and he can finally achieve what he is today! But have he and others flaunted it casually! This is much better than some people who are self-satisfied with a little achievement! This This is the real gentleman's way of doing things! This talent and humility alone! You have to study hard for me, kid! Don't embarrass Ayun again in the future! Do you hear me!"

Jin Heng: "..."

Although he knew that the old man Dengxin probably just wanted to set an example for Shi Xiaoguang so that he could teach him a lesson, but Jin Heng, who was embarrassed by him, still decisively chose to use silence to deal with this uncomfortable conversation atmosphere.

Coincidentally at this time, some rats beating gongs and drums on the street facing the whole Chongjie just passed by, but they were just paying attention, but in the next second they heard those rats in red and green yelling loudly. , and the expressions of the three standing in the alley while concealing their figures immediately changed.

"Zhang Bingzhong—Malaysian Feng—Death without a whole body to feed poisonous insects—Who is it—I want to kill him—Everyone knows—"

The rats who deliberately fanned the flames yelled around the world like this, many of them heard the nursery rhymes humming in their mouths, and the evil spirits who were about to go to the nest to have a wedding wine stopped with strange expressions.

However, no one in the crowded crowd dared to go up and ask the rats whether these words were true or not, and who wanted to kill Zhang Bingzhong. A strange atmosphere pervaded, and Jin Heng, who walked out of the alley frowning, only heard the old man Dengwick snort coldly,

"It seems that some people's fox tails are about to be unbearable... I have told you a long time ago that the emperor's ambitions are big. Tonight's matter must have just begun. Once Zhang Bingzhong died, Ayun In his hands again, who else would sit in that position in the entire Hungry Realm besides him... Some idiots with no brains actually didn't believe it before..."

The words with guns and sticks were obviously aimed at Shi Xiaoguang, but seeing those ferocious-looking mice walking around the streets with his own eyes, and wishing to tell the world about the abnormal appearance of this news, Jin Heng actually felt something wrong in his heart. It feels so right.

And at this moment, those little paper men who had just wandered around also sneaked back by themselves. After waving for them to enter the alley next to them and talking, Jin Heng, who folded his hands and lowered his eyes silently, looked at those people. Xiaozhi admitted that they lined up seriously and began to report the news to themselves one by one.

"Huh? What are these little things... whispering in their mouths?"

"... Something really happened in the haunted nest just now. There are rotting and smelly corpses of rats everywhere in the hall."

"What?! Grandma, grandma, is she okay?" "What!What about Ayun?How is Ayun? ! "

The old and the young next to him were frightened and yelled out when they heard this. Jin Heng, whose expression was inexplicably cold, looked at the second little paper figurine, and then said in a calm voice,

"I didn't see Xiaoshi's body in the main hall, so nothing happened... But the original layout of the wedding hall has not been removed, and a slave said inside... Tonight's wedding will go on as usual."

Jin Heng's last words made Old Man Dengxin's anger well up from his heart. Now Shi Xiaoguang, who was completely dumbfounded, looked at Jin Heng in disbelief and dared not speak out. After saying this, he frowned and lowered his head to count the ground. However, after carefully counting back and forth, Jin Heng found that the little paper man he let out earlier had not returned.

And just when the white-haired young man with his head down was secretly wondering whether the little paper man had encountered something unusual on the road, there was a sound of frightened and disordered footsteps coming from the dark alley far away.

When Jin Heng realized that an outsider had intruded, he took out a piece of surname paper from his sleeve, clamped it on his finger, and frowned and said Ding. The next second, Jin Heng, who was about to directly subdue the incoming person, I saw two little paper lords holding hands and bouncing back together, followed by a man with fearful eyes, who seemed to follow the two paper lords all the way to find the little Chong slave who came here.

"...Are you...are you Chongjun's...friend?"

The voice of the little Chongnu who was cautiously hiding in the dark sounded obviously a little afraid of them, but after hearing the word Chongjun, Shi Xiaoguang and Jin Heng were stunned at the same time.

But as if he didn't notice the defensive eyes of the two of them towards him, Yu Zhiji, who followed the little Zhigong, looked behind him in shock, and then looked at Jin Heng with red eyes and said in a low voice ,

"If, if you are a friend of Chongjun... I beg you to find him quickly... He was taken away by Meilang just now... Chongjun is really a good person, and that scoundrel Meilang will definitely kill him." his..."

In addition to Shi Xiaoguang before, it seems that this is the second time I heard someone say that Mr. Chong is a good person, and Jin Heng, who was somehow defined as his friend, didn't know how to appease the chaotic little Chong slave who tipped him off. Emotions, I could only be silent for a while, and then asked a question out loud with a little doubt.

"What happened to him? Who is Meilang? Why did you take him away?"

"I don't know either... I just heard what they said that the old man is coming back... and then the group of mice... the group of mice took the king away..."

"...Old haunted master?"

The old man Dengxin who hadn't planned to say anything couldn't hold back when he heard what Yu Zhiji said, but after a sneer, the grumpy old man who had a deep prejudice against Gentiana Qin just showed his background in obvious disbelief Xing taunted Yu Zhiji loudly again and said,

"As expected of the person sent by the Lord of the Lord, he is full of nonsense! The legendary old Lord of the Lord has been dead for ten years! How could he suddenly come back without warning! Teacher, can you Listen to the old man! Don't believe the words of these ghosts and monsters, I think it is the lying king who came up with some crooked ideas to lure us to take the bait..."

The old man Dengxin's words were harsh, and Yu Zhiji, who had come to Jinheng for help at the risk, blushed all of a sudden, and shouted angrily, trembling with tears in his eyes.

"I'm not lying! Mr. Chong was really taken away by the old Lord! Mr. Chong is not the kind of person you said at all!"

Jin Heng, who was standing aside with a blank face, saw the old man Lampwick's gesture and wanted to curse again, so he could only stretch out his hand to signal Shi Xiaoguang to stop this old man who had swallowed explosives alive.

And he casually grabbed the little paper man brought back by his little paper man on the ground and took a second look. After realizing that his fingers seemed to be stained with sticky maltose, he suddenly remembered that someone from before Jin Heng, who was holding on to a little sugar figure all the way and refused to let go, even his expression became a little weird in an instant.

【You bought it? 】

【kindness. 】

[Spent a pearl? 】

【…】

[Thank you, this is the first time...someone offered me candy. 】

Although he was still full of doubts and vigilance about that person's identity, but when he received the Snake Lang candy man from himself before, the pair of gray eyes that always gave him a certain familiar feeling unconsciously exuded happiness And satisfaction is also true, and it is undeniable that I once again softened my heart for this person inexplicably. The silent Jin Heng frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally looked at Yu Zhiji in front of him and slowed down his voice asked,

"...tell me, how long has he been taken?"

As soon as he heard Jin Heng's question, the old man who was staring at the lamp wick suddenly shouted a surname teacher, and helplessly raised his hand and turned his head to signal him that the old man should be calm and calm, and listen to the wronged Yu Zhiji in front of him. Jin Heng, who had talked about the general situation in the hall before, also nodded thoughtfully, and after taking out the Ding surname in his sleeve and folded it carefully, he raised his pale eyes and looked at Shi Xiaoguang in front of him again. and Old Man Wick.

"I will give you this Ding surname. No matter what happens later, he will lead you to rescue Xiao Shi and leave here safely."

"Then... what about you, teacher?"

"I'll follow him to see what's going on, it's all right."

Jinheng's attitude has become very obvious so far. The old man Dengxin was a little aggrieved when he heard this, but he couldn't get angry when he was pulled by Shi Xiaoguang next to him, and then he patiently taught Shi Xiaoguang how to use the surname book. After that, Jin Heng, who was completely relieved of the two of them, left Dead End Alley with Yu Zhiji and went to the haunted nest.

……

In the side hall bedroom with human skin lanterns lit, with disgusting corpse wax sticking to his mouth, and a blue light flashing between his brows, Xiao Wuyun was lying flat on the embroidered bed with the curtains down, with an ugly expression on his face.

Since just now, there have been chaotic movements from outside, but because she was so weak and unable to move, she had no way of knowing what happened in this huge haunted hall at first.

In her ears, she could only vaguely hear a crying voice that sounded like a howling pig, but gradually, gradually, the crying sound became weaker.

It wasn't until the pale-faced woman staggered up from the bed with her limp body supported, and then struggled to grab the bed curtain in front of her and walked two steps outside, using the little light to hide next to the little Wuyun reluctantly. See what is happening in the main hall behind the curtain.

"Please...please let me go...please let me go...I don't want to die...I really don't want to die...help, help..."

As far as the eye can see, Zhang Bingzhong, who is domineering and oppressive on weekdays, is being nakedly tied to the red pillar of the temple by a few vicious rats. His strong and ugly body is beaten out everywhere. His greasy and fat face was also covered with blood and tears.

However, no one in the Lord's Hall, which should belong to him, is willing to stand up and help him. Only these rats who have long been dissatisfied with Zhang Bingzhong's tyranny surround him and beat him vigorously, which makes Xiao Wuyun's teeth feel cold Yes, seeing that physical punishment can no longer make the unrecognizable Zhang Bingzhong let out miserable howls, the rats who abused him seemed a little bored, and then one of the biggest rats suddenly said with a smile,

"After playing for so long, I don't want to change the tricks. I'm tired of watching you big guys. Why don't we go get some yellow paper and vegetable oil, and then give everyone's evil master a new way to play."

The meaning of these words is obviously self-evident, and the rats who were laughing next to them immediately agreed and ran to the side to fetch yellow paper and vegetable oil.

And Xiao Wuyun, who was hiding aside with an ugly face, was a little confused when she saw this, but soon after witnessing Zhang Bingzhong's series of tragedies, she immediately understood what the self-talking mouse Chuanzi wanted to do before. up.

"Don't...don't...help me...help me...someone, please save me...someone, hurry up and save me...ahh——"

He was forcibly restrained from moving his hands and feet, and the rats who were holding him kept covering his face with yellow paper soaked in vegetable oil. Zhang Bingzhong, whose voice was half-broken and almost unable to shout, was instantly rehabilitated by the threat of death. Shout out.

His screams like killing a pig made the surrounding mice laugh more wildly and maliciously, and Zhang Bingzhong, who was tied to the pillar, was about to be smothered to death by the layers of yellow paper, and his face was pale. Just as Xiao Wuyun ran out to stop those disgusting dead mice, a delicate white hand suddenly covered her mouth from behind and dragged her back into the embroidered tent inside.

"You... who are you?! You're dying if you don't see that person!"

Lying on the bed in shock, she stared at the 'Jing Ji' who was wearing a cinnabar-colored peony pattern dress and a bronze mirror attached to her head. Xiao Wuyun, who was startled by her from behind, was about to stare and shout Ouch, what happened to the mirror, the silent 'Mirror Ji' bent down and wiped the corpse wax from her mouth and put down the bed curtain.

And because the situation was really urgent just now, 'Jing Ji' who escaped from Zhang Bingzhong's bedroom in a hurry before had no time to remove the disguise she had put on to seduce that pig head.

After casually blurring the face of the heavy makeup in the bronze mirror on his head into a clean and handsome young face, wearing a strange female attire, but the face has returned to normal, the 'Mirror Ji' has a strange expression With downcast eyes, he sneered and said,

"My name is ②Jin Jingzhi, and I am here to protect your life by the order of the master of my family. As for the pig's head outside, his surname is Zhang and his name is Bingzhong. If you go out and ask casually, you will know that he deserved what he got into today's end. Let him It would be really cheap for him to die at the hands of those mice tonight."

"..."

Seeing with his own eyes that such a beautiful and peerless enchantress suddenly turned into a big man in front of him, Xiaoshi's expression on seeing a ghost is clearly conceivable, and Jin Jingzhi, who explained this sentence to her, then just He lightly touched his face with his finger, and then the bronze mirror on his head first printed Xiaoshi's face, and then he stood up and walked under the bed and began to move as skillfully as any woman who loves beauty Dress up for yourself.

"... What are you doing... what are you doing now?"

"After a while, those rats will come in to dress you up and take you to the wedding hall. They will chop off your head in public to lure your father Deng Laogui, so for the sake of safety, Xiaosheng will go there instead of you, anyway It doesn't matter if the bronze mirror's head is chopped off in public, just pick it up from the ground and put it back properly."

Jin Jingzhi with the corners of his lips turned upside down just inserted a delicate bead flower into his temples in an understatement. Hearing what he said, Xiao Shi felt inexplicably complicated. In reply, where did you come from, what are you doing hiding here and pretending to be a woman all day long.

Jin Jingzhi, who heard the words, didn't pay attention to her immediately, but carefully observed the movement outside and quickly dressed himself up, then he blinked slowly like a stealing cat and replied with a coquettish smile,

"Of course I came here to pretend to be a woman because Xiaosheng really likes pretending to be a woman. I can wear so many beautiful clothes every day, and there are so many beautiful jewelry... Rouge and gouache, alas, just thinking about it makes me so happy and satisfied, Is the little girl finished asking now?"

Xiaoshi: "..."

The author has something to say: ① Ding Gongji: The descendant of Jiang Taigong

②Jin Jingzhi: It comes from the square mirror monster mentioned in "Youguai Shitan".
