Legend of Monsters: The Prince Saw a Ghost Alive

Chapter 1 Going Down the Mountain
Qing Chi has been with Master since he could remember.The master is a Taoist priest, and she is the only apprentice under the master.

Qing Chi is not beautiful, with spots on his face, and his hands and feet are not smart.She didn't know who her parents were, and she tried to find them, but to no avail.In the end, she gave up and planned to devote herself to practicing with her master. The master gave her a Taoist name, Qingchi.

Probably Qing Chi has also realized a bit of Taoism in recent years, and feels that beauty and ugliness are just skins, the important thing is to have sunshine in his heart.

As soon as there is sunshine, she is transparent, and she probably understands that her parents let her study with her master for so many years and have not heard from her for so many years. Maybe it is because they don't want her.Then she discovered that she followed her master to travel all over the world, not to devote herself to practice, but to deceive; she didn't know how many three-year-old children she had helped the master to deceive.

The master said earnestly: "Qingchi, we are all here to survive... You don't know that in the Taoist profession, deceiving people is better than deceiving ghosts..."

From this, the master's impression on Qing Chi is probably that of heretics, charlatans, and old gods.

For a long time, because of Qingchi's pitiful values ​​of justice in life, both master and apprentice squatted on the top of the mountain guarding the old and dilapidated Qishan Taoist temple, which had already lost the source of incense.After eating the grass roots for half a month, life was miserable, Qingchi finally figured it out, followed his master down the mountain, and got up his spirits to cheat and engage in business again.

The master was very pleased with this, and said: "Just figure it out, girls, who doesn't have a youthful rebellious period?"

Qingchi whitened him, and said, "Have you ever seen a girl who is seven or eight years old and starts to enter the rebellious period of youth?"

The master was thoughtful: "It may be because you are not good-looking, so you are a little ahead of schedule."

A mouthful of old blood clogged Qingchi's chest: "..."

It is not so much a rebellion as a recognition of reality.If she didn't follow Master back then, she might have starved to death, but now if she doesn't go down the mountain to find a bargain, she will also starve to death.

After the petty temper has been used, what should I do and what should I continue to do.From then on, Qingchi followed his master in the rivers and lakes very calmly.

In fact, the master is not completely useless, otherwise his title of Daoist priest of Qishan Daoist would not be so resounding at the foot of the mountain.Occasionally catching little demons and ghosts is no problem, and Qing Chi also learned a little bit of skill, but usually there is a master, and she hides behind the master's back to make soy sauce; She only needs to sit on the sidelines and count the money in a Taoist forum for her self-image and promotion business.If you encounter a very powerful ghost, you can run away without saying a word that you can't win, and then you can talk about high-sounding rhetoric to deal with the person who asked them to catch ghosts, which is often easy.

It’s not possible to come across difficult tasks such as ghost hunting and catching demons every day. Of course, when there is no business, the master and apprentice have to cheat the rich people’s money. Sometimes even the pocket money of a three-year-old is not enough. let go.

But what is gratifying is that Master is not completely devoid of conscience. He occasionally passes by the village and takes care of the empty-nest elderly and left-behind children.

In a blink of an eye, Qing Chi was 15 years old.She combed a neat bun and wore a gray-white Taoist uniform. The brown spots on her face have also faded a little. She looks very energetic and neat.

For several days in a row, the south was overwhelmed with black clouds, and there was an invisible aura overflowing the sky. According to the sensitivity she cultivated in her ten-year career as a Taoist priest, there should be new business to do.

Sure enough, soon some villagers from the bottom of the mountain went up to invite Master Qishan, but the master sent Qingchi down the mountain alone on the grounds of retreat.

Miraculously, Qing Chi agreed so easily.But when she went down the mountain, she woke up belatedly—Huh?Why did she agree?She is obviously just a soy saucer.

So Qingchi turned around and walked up the mountain again.The villager grabbed her and asked: "The little Taoist leader promised to go with me, but now you want to go back on your word? You have accepted the big guy's sesame oil money, so you can't go back on your word." It is also very good that the sesame oil money that came can hire a high-spirited apprentice from Qishan Daoist, although he looks very young.

Qingchi was silent: "Oh, Pindao forgot to bring the soy sauce bottle." It's okay for the master to cheat others on weekdays, but this time he resolutely chose to cheat his apprentice.

"Oh..." The villagers asked in confusion, "Is that some kind of powerful magic weapon?"

Qing Chi: "..."

The villagers encouraged and said: "It doesn't matter, there are many soy sauce bottles in our village."

Just by looking at the dark clouds in the sky, you can tell that things may be a little tricky.If I went back to make soy sauce and also went to meet Taishang Laojun...it would be a big loss.But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Qing Chi felt something was wrong again, she couldn't be so negative, if she never came back, who would inherit the legacy of Master in the future?That old magic stick must have hidden a lot of private money!

Well, life-saving is the principle, if you can do it, do it, if you can't do it, run away.In short, we must come back alive.

In the end, Qingchi was dragged away by the villagers.On the way, the villagers told her about the general situation in the village.

It turned out that there was a village in the south, and nearly 200 people lived in the village.But just a few days ago, for some reason, the village was infected with a strange disease, and many people died.In a normal epidemic outbreak, the dead would be cremated or buried deeply, but this plague in the village was very evil. Even if people died, their illnesses continued to fester and spread, and during the cremation, it was found that the dead bodies were not burnt.

The news spread quickly, and the imperial court sent someone to deal with it.But once the court officers and soldiers take over, I am afraid that the living people in the village will not be spared.That's why the villagers rushed to invite Taoist masters, trying to exorcise the evil spirits and deal with the sick corpses before the officers and soldiers arrived, and then quell the plague.

Qing Chi drove two roads, and successfully arrived at the village that the villagers said.She looked up and saw the words "Wu Ji Village" written on the huge stone pier at the entrance of the village.

I heard from the villagers that the surname of most people in the village is Wu, so the ancestors took the name of the village.

Judging from her half-baked level, she can also tell at a glance that the location of Wu Ji Village is not very good, surrounded by mountains, and there is a long-growing locust forest around the village.The locust tree is a kind of ghost among the trees, with a heavy yin energy, it is the best place to gather yin and avoid yang.

As soon as he entered the village, there was a gloomy atmosphere blowing towards his face.

The villagers lead the way ahead. There are ordinary huts on both sides of the road, but the gates are closed, and no one is seen for a long time. It is inevitable that this is a dead village.

According to the villagers, other villagers who are not sick are gathered in the ancestral hall at the moment, and the ancestral hall is blessed by the ancestors, which should be safer than other places.Once a new patient is found among the villagers, they will be immediately pulled into isolation.
