When he was a child, Night Quicksand asked Lao Gu why his name was Night Quicksand? Old Gu told him that because the night was his destination, and the quicksand was his soul. When the night blows quicksand, the soul is summoned, and the soul can be awakened.

Late at night, in a barren forest on the eastern outskirts of Yecheng, the wind was howling, and white bones could be seen everywhere on the ground.

It's a mass grave, and no one dares to come even during the day, especially since it's late at night.

Only Xu Nianzeng was bold, and he would pass by the mass grave every night to fish in the small river opposite.

This Xu Nianzeng is also a native of Yecheng, with an old mother in the family, who is now twenty-eight years old, and has not married a wife or had children, and lives by fishing on weekdays.

That night, as before, he went to the river to fish with a jar of wine and a glass. Because he often walks at night, his eyes are exceptionally good, and when he walked into the mass grave, he found that there was another grave bag.

He walked to the grave, opened the wine jar and sprinkled some wine, and said to the grave: "In addition to the unjust ghosts who died in vain, they are poor poor ghosts, and I salute you with a sip of wine, hoping that you can give birth to a good family in the next life." ”

Xu Nianzeng took a sip of wine from the grave, then left the mass grave and came to the river.

He always drank some before fishing, and before drinking, he always poured a cup of sacrifice and prayed, "Drowning ghosts in the river, please come and drink wine!" Others tend to catch very little fish, while he catches baskets full of fish every day.

Xu Nianzeng had just been drinking alone when he suddenly saw a young man coming and walking around him. Xu Nianzeng was not afraid, and asked him to drink together, and the young man did not refuse, so the two drank together.

It's a pity that he couldn't even catch a fish that night, and Xu Nianzeng was a little frustrated.

Seeing Xu Nianzeng's disappointed expression, the young man stood up and bowed down and said, "I'll go downstream to catch fish for you." With that, he drifted downstream.

After a while, the boy came back and said, "Here comes the big school of fish!"

When the boy returned, he heard the sound of many fish devouring the bait. Xu Nianzeng immediately cast his net and caught more than a dozen big fish in one net. He was very happy and expressed his deep gratitude to the teenager. The young man wanted to leave, Xu Nianzeng gave him the fish, but the young man did not want it, and said: "How can I mention gratitude for this little thing of drinking your good wine many times? If you are not troublesome, I will come to you often." ”

Xu Nianzeng was surprised when he heard this, and said, "We have only met for one night, how can we say it many times? You came to help you as you wished, I can't ask for it, but how can I repay your affection?" So he asked the young man's name. The young man said, "My surname is Wang, I don't have a name, so call me Wang Liulang when you meet." With that, he took his leave.

The next day, Xu Nianzeng sold the fish and bought more wine by the way. That night, when Xu Nianzeng came to the river, Liulang was already waiting, and the two drank happily. After drinking a few cups, Liulang chased fish for Xu Nianzeng.

After fishing, Liulang suddenly said to Xu Nianzeng: "You and I know each other and are like brothers, but we are about to separate." When he spoke, he was sad and reluctant.

Xu Nianzeng was very surprised and asked Liulang why he was like this, Liulang thought about it again and again before saying: "Since you and I are like brothers, you don't have to be surprised when I say it." Now that we are going to separate, there is no harm in telling the truth. I'm actually a ghost, and it's been several years since I drank too much alcohol and drowned after getting drunk. In the past, the reason why you caught more fish than others was because I secretly helped you drive them away, as a reward for the wine. Tomorrow my deadline is over, someone will come to replace me, I will be reborn in the world, you and I will meet only tonight, so I can't be calm. ”

Xu Nianzeng was not afraid when he heard this, but became sad. So, he poured a full glass of wine, held it in his hand, and said, "Liulang, I salute you with this glass of wine! It is sad that you and I will never see each other again, but I should congratulate you on your deliverance from the disaster. Don't be sad, be happy!"

So, the two continued to drink. Xu Nianzeng asked Liulang: "After you leave, who will replace you?"

Rokuro said, "My brother can wait tomorrow in the shade by the river, and at noon, a woman crossed the river and drowned. The two heard the roosters in the city crow, and Fang shed tears and said goodbye.

The next day, Xu Nianzeng watched secretly by the river. At noon, a woman with a baby in her arms fell into the water when she reached the river. The baby was thrown on the shore, crying with his hands and feet raised. The woman floated up and down several times, and then climbed up to the riverbank in the water, sat on the ground and rested for a while, then picked up the baby and left.

When Xu Nianzeng saw the woman falling into the water, he couldn't bear it and wanted to save him, but when he thought that this was Liulang's stand-in, he dispelled the idea of saving people. When he saw that the woman was not drowned, he suspected that what Rokuro said was a bit ridiculous.

That night, Xu Nianzeng still went to the same place to fish, and Liulang was already there, saying, "Now we are together again." ”

Xu Nianzeng asked Liulang about the day, and Liulang said: "Originally, the woman was for me, but I pity the baby in her arms, and I can't bear to hurt the lives of two people for the sake of myself." Therefore, I decided to give up this opportunity, but I don't know when there will be a substitute for the dead. Maybe it's because you and I have an unfinished relationship. ”

Xu Nianzeng sighed and said: "Your kind heart can always move the heavens." ”

So, as always, the two drank and fished.

A few days later, Liulang came to say goodbye to Xu Nianzeng again, and Xu Nianzeng thought that there was another person to replace Liulang. Rokuro said: "No, my kindness really touched the heavens, so he invited me to be the god of the land on the green hill fifty miles away. I'm going to take up my post tomorrow, if you don't forget our friendship, don't be too far away, go to Qingqiu to see me. ”

Xu Nianzeng was overjoyed when he heard this, and congratulated: "I am very pleased that the virtuous brother has acted uprightly and become a god. But there is a long distance between man and God, and even if I am not afraid of the long way, how can I see you?"

Rokuro said, "Just go, don't worry." ”

The two talked for a long time, and they parted.

The land god protects the water and soil, but Wang Liulang was sent to Qingqiu to be the land god, which made him puzzled.

Ordinary land gods serve in various cities and counties, but how can they themselves be sent to the deserted green hills?

Wang Liulang had already come to the top of Qingqiu at this time, and since he was already a god, he could feel the demonic spirit of the world. After he came to Qingqiu, he found that although there was no one here, the demon spirit qi was very sufficient.

Everything in the world has a breath, and this demon spirit qi is different from the demon qi.

The spirit of the demon lies in this spiritual word. The elves who possess the spirit of the demon spirit are mostly the spirit creatures who seek the good and seek the immortals, and the demon spirit mostly refers to the evil spirit.

"The Emperor of Heaven asked me to take up my post here, did he ask me to protect the demon spirits here? Take me to investigate. Wang Liulang pondered, hid his body and aura, and entered the Natu Mountain tribe.

The white dragon accepted the warm hospitality of the Tushan tribe and had now lived in the tribe for three days.

In the past three days, Bai Long has always felt that Night Quicksand seems to have changed as if he had changed a person, and after listening to the old patriarch and Tu Shan Jiujiu tell about the man who is good at change, she has always felt that Night Quicksand has also changed like someone else.

Therefore, the white dragon remained vigilant and had been observing the movements of the night quicksand for the past three days.

For the past three days, White Dragon and Night Quicksand have been living in the old patriarch's house. Bai Long and Tu Shan Jiujiu lived in the same room, and Night Quicksand lived with the old patriarch.

As soon as the day dawned, Bailong got up to wash, and saw that the junior brother had woken up first, the old patriarch was also cooking vegetables, and the night quicksand was beside the old patriarch.

This Tushan tribe, except that they are all monsters, is almost exactly the same as the human world. There are even fields planted on a green hill in the distance, some of the clansmen are responsible for farming and weaving, and some of the clansmen go to the world to exchange the precious jade and ore from the green hills for supplies. Only the old patriarch and Tu Shan Jiujiu didn't do anything, but the clansmen just obeyed their grandfather and grandson and never complained.

"Quicksand, do you remember, when you were a child, you stole the master's wine and drank a big sip, and the master found out at that time, not only was the master scolded, but you were also punished for facing the wall for three days. The white dragon walked over and said to the night quicksand with a light smile.

Night quicksand smiled and said, "Senior sister remembered wrong, I didn't steal the wine that day, I was just about to touch the wine jar when the master found out." ”

"yes, it seems that I misremembered. Bai Long said with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart: "Could it be that it is really because I left Gu Valley and opened my eyes, and my junior brother's personality changed?" It seems that I am too careful, if the current quicksand is changed by someone else, how can I remember what happened when I was a child?"

Thinking of this, the white dragon was relieved.

"Grandpa is early, Uncle Quicksand is early, Sister Bailong is early!" Tu Shan Jiujiu is the last to get up every day, and no matter who he sees when he gets up, he will take the initiative to say hello.

The old patriarch looked at his granddaughter's innocent appearance, shook his head and smiled: "Night Quicksand is the junior brother of the white dragon, you call the white dragon sister, but you call the night quicksand uncle, how do you rank in this generation?"

"Then what do I call them, I can't call them grandchildren, right? According to the age of human beings, I am over eighty years old. Tu Shan Jiujiu's expression was serious, and he said seriously.

Listening to her words, Bailong was embarrassed. She only now knew that Tu Shan Jiujiu was over eighty years old, and she had always thought that she was just a teenager.

"So, when I see young humans, I call them brothers and sisters, when I see older people, I call them uncles and aunts, and when I see old people, I call them grandparents, is there any other name in the human world?" Tu Shan Jiujiu said seriously, but he made the old patriarch laugh and said: "Whether it is a human or a fox clan, the title of relatives is the same. In addition to what you said, there are also great aunts, second uncles, third nephews, four nephews, five grandfathers, six grandmothers, seven aunts, eight aunts, and nine aunts. ”

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, what do you call it after ten?" Tu Shan Jiujiu asked with a puzzled expression.

"Huh~" Listening to the conversation between this pair of grandchildren, Bailong couldn't help laughing, and the night quicksand also laughed, infected by the laughter, Tu Shan Jiujiu and the old patriarch also laughed, and several people looked happy together.
