On this day, Li Fu dreamed that his late father had entrusted him with a dream, saying that he had fallen in love with a painting called Feng Qian in Wuliu town, and asked Li Fu to invite him into his house the next day to paint, and specified that Feng Qian should come in person and that the painting should be "The Hundred Birds".

Li Fu woke up, in suspicious clouds, his father died more than three years ago, and this is the first time to give their dream because Li Fu is extremely filial nature, so do not dare to be careless, thinking that his father's move must have deep meaning.

So, the next day in a carriage, over the mountains, to go 50 miles away from the town of Wuliu, met an old man, an inquiry, there is a young man named Feng Qian.

Li Fu's heart great relief.

However, the old man said: "This Feng Qian's family is poor, poorer than when I was young.

Li Fu asked what was the matter.

The old man wiped his saliva and replied, "A few days ago, a matchmaker, had to give this poor boy matchmaking, about a date, the young lady sitting in the matchmaker's house, let Feng Qian to the courtyard, the young lady through the curtain a look, actually see the right eye, the bride price not only did not want but also brought Feng Qian a lot of dowries, today's marriage, alas, the boy ancestral grave smoke."

Li Fu heart ouch, really not coincidentally, today is Feng Qian's wedding day.

The old man opened the box, and told Li Fu, "poor boy parents died early, with a few wild gentlemen learned a few days of painting, painting things still okay, but not many people buy and do not know how to farm, the days are getting tighter and tighter, this time is good, people and money two."

Li Fu thought to himself, "My father has to ask for a painting today, and since Feng Qian is poor, it will be easier to do, so I will pay more money and take it as my share. Li Fu, as his name implies, was a rich family man.

After being guided, he came to Feng Qian's house.

At this time, after the Cunard, usually, Feng Qian by the neighbors, even if the wedding day, not many people came to congratulate, only three tables of wine feast, but also already.

Li Fu explained the reason for his visit.

Feng Qian's face was worried and he bowed and said, "Today is my small debut, I really can't move, why don't I visit your house some other day."

Li Fu refused to agree and promised a heavy reward.

Feng Qian did not want to live off the dowry his wife brought, so he went inside, bowed long, and said he had to go out to do some things and would return later.

The mother of the bride, through the cover, asked Feng Qian to go back quickly, do not miss the auspicious day, after all, the spring night is worth a thousand gold.

Feng Qian hurriedly said yes.

The carriage of Li Fu, the wind and speed, all the way to the wild, but spare, back to the Li House, is almost dusk.

Feng Qian opened the paper, Feng Qian had a plan, but also took a long time, finished the "Hundred Birds", looked at it again and again, and said to Li Fu, "I do not know where your father is now, I handed over the painting to his old man's hand, this painting is my blood work, I am afraid it is difficult to paint works like this painting general standard." After the words, there is another emotion.

Li Fu's face embarrassed, "family Yan has long passed away." He told his father in detail about the painting in his dream.

Feng Qian repeatedly smacked his lips, "Strange, strange, then how do you plan to give it to your father?"

Li Fu pondered for a long time and sighed, "I can only burn this work."

Feng Qian was speechless and stared at the painting reluctantly, but finally did not say anything.

Li Fu said, "My family Yan asked me again and again in my dream to ask for this painting today, so I must have his intention, I am going to the cemetery to burn the "Hundred Birds" for my father, and you are on the same way back.

Feng Qian took a look at the night outside and agreed to come down.

After changing two horses from the stables, the coachman drove the master and Feng Qian to the cemetery.

Li Fu burned the painting in front of his father's tomb and then sent Feng Qian home after a few words.

When the weather was unlucky, it rained heavily when they passed by Toadstool Ridge, making it difficult for the wheels to move, so the three of them took shelter at the nearby Mountain God Temple.

The rain clattered, like the Milky Way storm, the three drenched, cold teeth-rattling, closed the temple door, look at the temple there are dead branches, on a fire.

The rain continued to fall until the latter part of the night before it stopped.

Feng Qian long panting and short contempt, the auspicious day or missed.

Li Fu was full of apologies.

The mountain road was muddy, and there was no other way, they were about to open the door, but suddenly heard the sound of hissing horses outside the temple, as if struggling to howl.

The horseman looked out through the window and shouted, "There's a demon! And passed out.

"My husband, why are you not home at midnight?"

The voice was Feng Qian's wife.

Feng Qian was about to answer when Li Fu elbowed him.

Feng Qian suddenly realized that something was wrong!

Why would his wife come here in the middle of the night? Shouldn't she be sitting at home? How did she know she was in the temple?

The two of them looked at each other and held their breath.

"I know you are in there, come out quickly," the knocking sound became more and more urgent, like hailstones hitting the temple door.

Li Fu and Feng Qian did not dare to move.

The knocking sound became stronger and stronger, and the temple door was shaking.

The voice outside the temple became impatient, "If you don't come out, we're going to drill along the door."

The two men were so horrified that they dared not move.

Outside the temple began cursing, threatening words, incessantly into the ears.

At first, there was a knock on the door, but later it became a banging on the door.

Finally, the temple door clicked and broke into several pieces.

Feng Qian's white hair sweated out, legs rush out, by Li Fu a slap to wake up, and then look at the temple door, still intact.

Li Fu said: "Little sir, do not be afraid, the temple outside the demon does not seem to dare to come in, we just have to endure until dawn."

Feng Qian hastily said yes, guarded his mind, let the door banging sound like a drum, but also ignore it.

After a long time, there were two screams and the noise stopped abruptly.

The two people still did not dare to go out.

Finally, until dawn, the sun fell into the mountain temple, the two people shivered and opened the temple door, and the horseman was also just in time to wake up.

Look at the carriage, two horses have long been killed, and there are two bloody holes in the neck. Not far from the temple, there are two four-foot-long centipedes, one just like a phoenix, the other is also dressed in women's clothing, are turned over, the outside scorched yellow, broken into dozens of sections, already dead.

Three people did not dare to stay, stepping on the muddy mountain road, came to Feng Qian's home, and the mother was also gone.

Feng Qian had to accept the fact that the matchmaker and the bride are centipede spirits, and fortunately did not go to the witch mountain together beforehand, otherwise would have been drained of blood. But I do not know who these two evil animals were for the injury.

And two years later, due to the river diversion, the Li family cemetery feng shui has changed, by the guidance of a senior, moved the ancestral tomb, reorganization of the remains, in Li Fu's father's coffin, and surprisingly found the volume of Feng Qian painting "Hundred Birds".

The news spread and Feng Qian's value soared a photo thousand gold.

The incense of that mountain temple also became better and better.

Li Fu and Feng Qian naturally became close friends.

One day, Li Fu learned that when his father was young, he had been saved by Feng Qian's grandfather from a mountain bandit's sword. Although the benefactor did not reveal his name at that time, the benefactor had a dream to return the favor at that time and continue the incense of the benefactor's family.

For another half a year, a long-bearded Taoist was forced to capture the flying corpse, only to reveal the truth. It turns out that the two centipedes were assigned by the flying corpse, specifically on the grounds of marriage, promised benefits, the night of the wedding, sucking people's essence, love, concubinage, good time, the essence of the most delicious, as well as the heart straight body is even more, after sucking out, and then the essence of feeding to the flying corpse.

Flying corpse at that time can not move, but can drive the essence of the demon, but also in the essence of the demon body magic, if you can not supply the essence of the spirit in time, it will be body split body explosion.

Although the centipede spirit is dead, there are other spirit monsters with beautiful skin, tempting the common man, resulting in the flying corpse of Taoism, finally becoming a scourge, the result was long-bearded Taoist thousands of miles to kill.
