Hong Yi grinned and said, "Brother Yang, you have a really good mentality, ghosts have no shadows, but creatures like monsters have shadows!" ”

The girl glared at Hong Yi and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can I be a monster!" ”

"You still don't admit it?" Hong Yi said: "Your clothes are so thin, the mountains are cold, normal people can't bear it at all." And there are no people within a radius of ten miles, how can you, a single woman, appear in the ancient temple late at night? ”

"You have a shadow, it's not a ghost, it's a mountain fox spirit, in addition to this kind of creature, you can not be afraid of the cold winter, not afraid of the night, ordinary women, who dares to go out in the middle of the night?"

"Yes, I'm not a ghost, I'm a monster, I came out specifically to find food, and I happened to meet you two." The woman suddenly changed color, her tone was cold, and her face was blue, as if she was going to pounce and eat people at any moment.

"Ah, Brother Yang, I have the heroic righteousness of a scholar, and ordinary spirits don't dare to approach me, I'll stop him, you go quickly." Although Hong Yi and Chen Hao have been friends for a short time, Hong Yi regards Chen Hao as a friend, and when the disaster comes, he actually lets Chen Hao go first.

As for what he said about Haoran righteousness, it is naturally false, like an ordinary Confucian, he has read a lot of books, and he has his own Haoran righteousness blessing, which is normal.

But Hong Yi is a young man, what kind of righteous blessing will there be now, if he encounters a ghost, he will also fall into the same fate as ordinary people.

Chen Hao naturally wouldn't go first, he smiled at Hong Yi and said, "Brother Hong, I told you not to be so nervous, why do you think this girl is a monster and not a monk?" ”

"Monk?" Hong Yi glanced at the girl carefully and muttered, "Brother Yang is right, this woman has a shadow, she seems to have enough qi and blood, and she may really be a monk." “

This can't be blamed on Hong Yi, he has been living humbly for more than ten years, he is the lowest existence in Wuwen Houfu, even the maid dares to bully him, where has he seen any monks, monks only exist in books for him.

He used to see ghosts and ghosts, and Chen Hao just told him about Zhai and Journey to the West, he instinctively felt that the woman who appeared in the middle of the night was a ghost, and now after Chen Hao's reminder, he woke up, not only did the ghosts dare to come out in the middle of the night, but the Terran monks also dared to come out, and the notes of the grass hall were written like this!

The woman glanced at Chen Hao and said, "Young man, you know a lot." ”

When she married Yang Pan, after Concubine Xuan was deposed, she naturally didn't recognize Chen Hao, who was ordered not to leave the Palace of Tranquility at the age of eight.

After the woman finished speaking to Chen Hao, she said to Hong Yi again: "Okay, I won't tease you, your friend is right, I am indeed a monk." ”

"And what are you doing here?" Hearing this woman say that she was a monk herself, Hong Yi's mind calmed down, in his heart, a monk would never kill innocents indiscriminately like a mountain fox spirit.

"Hehe, I came to Xishan today to see my relatives, but I didn't expect to hear such an interesting story." The woman in red looked at Chen Hao again and said, "Young man, are you a storyteller?" ”

Chen Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "Girl, I'm not a storyteller, I've only read a few mythological stories occasionally." ”

"You call me a girl?" The woman smiled softly.

Chen Hao smiled: "You call me a boy, don't I call you a girl?" ”

The woman said, "I'm much older than you, what's your name, boy?" ”

Chen Hao said: "My name is Yang Qing. ”

"Yang Qing? Where do you seem to have heard this name? The woman thought for a moment, looked at Chen Hao carefully a few times, and then shook her head, she really hadn't seen Chen Hao!

"What's wrong girl?" Chen Hao smiled faintly.

The woman shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I have one thing I want to ask you for." ”

Chen Hao said: "You just say it." ”

The woman said: "Since you can read, you naturally know how to read, and there are children among my relatives who want to study, I want to hire you as a teacher to give them a lecture, and by the way tell them stories, I don't know if you will go or not, and the honorarium will be ten taels of red gold a month." ”

Chen Hao said: "Teaching? I really don't like teaching, if you really want to ask your relatives for a teacher, just invite me Brother Hong, he has a reputation for showing talent, and after a while, it will be the township test, and my Brother Hong will definitely be able to raise people in high school. ”

"Brother Yang has won the award and made a name for himself, how can he say that if he can pass the test, he can pass the test." At this time, Hong Yi was still very modest.

"Brother Hong, don't be modest, I still have confidence in your writing." Chen Hao said.

At this time, the woman looked at Hong Yi and said, "Since you are such a young man, are you willing to be the teacher of my relative's child?" The honorarium is also 10 taels of red gold a month. ”

"This ......" Hong Yi hesitated a little, he was a poor bastard now! One tael of gold is a lot of money for him, let alone ten taels.

In the Daqian Dynasty, gold and silver were a pair of fifteen, and ten taels of red gold was one hundred and fifty taels of silver a month, which was a huge amount.

When Hong Yi was still hesitating, the woman said to Chen Hao again: "Yang Qing, although you don't want to teach, you can also tell stories for my relative's children, or ten taels of red gold, do you have any intentions?" ”

"Tell a few stories, and you will make gold, and you will naturally go next." Chen Hao happily agreed.

Seeing that Chen Hao agreed, Hong Yi no longer hesitated, and he said, "Since Brother Yang agreed, then I will also agree." ”

"Okay." Seeing that both of them had agreed to the hire, the woman chuckled and said, "Then let's go to my relative's house now." ”

"Leaving now?" Hong Yi's eyes widened.

"Of course." The woman grinned, "It's about sixty miles from here, but you can't walk in the morning with your foot strength, so I'll take you." ”

After that, the woman didn't care whether Chen Hao and Hong Yi objected, grabbed their arms, and jumped directly to the outside of the courtyard of the temple.

After landing, the woman swept up again, but this leap was much farther than just now, and she jumped more than 100 zhang directly.

After about two or three pillars of incense, the woman led the two of them to a dark valley, and in the middle of the valley, there was a faint fire.

"What's that!"

Hong Yi saw a scene that he will never forget.

In the middle of the valley there was a large bonfire, and next to the bonfire, dozens of foxes with snow-white fur sat around.

These foxes, half-squatting and half-sitting, seem to be human, especially them, holding books one by one, making strange sounds, as if they are reading, as if they are children reading in a private school.

A bunch of foxes, reading like people!

Hong Yi looked at Chen Hao dumbfounded, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother Yang, you have made me miserable, I just said that it was a mountain monster, you said that it was a monk, now the two of us are considered to have entered the monster nest!" ”
