A moment ago, he had only leaned against a tree and closed his eyes, but a moment later, he had come to such a place. Beneath your feet is a solid bluestone floor, but you can't see the surrounding scenery because of the thick fog around you.

Obviously, this is a dream.

But the faint demonic aura that was entwined in the mist that could not be ignored told him very clearly: all this is not just a dream.

Oh, pretending to be a ghost. Gu Hongyuan sneered silently and strode forward.

The fog slowly dissipated, and Gu Hongyuan gradually saw that he was walking in a cherry blossom road, with red cherry blossoms and bright copper lamps standing under each cherry tree. The starlight and bright lights along the way reflect the red cherry blossoms falling in the wind.

And at the end of the road, there is a magnificent palace. Gu Hongyuan stared at the upturned eaves and thought coldly: Is it here?

But in front of the closed gate of the palace, a woman holding a pipa suddenly appeared. She looked at Gu Hongyuan with a sad look, but before Gu Hongyuan could react, she resolutely plucked the pipa in her hand.

The strings sounded, and the surroundings suddenly rippled like water, and then fell into darkness.

Gu Hongyuan woke up.

The act of opening his eyes suddenly, with a murderous aura, startled the evil opinion. The evil opinion hurriedly picked up the human head staff and shouted, "Lord Gu Hongyuan, what happened?!"

The shout of evil thought woke up Ling again, she rubbed her eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, Lord Gu Hongyuan?"

Gu Hongyuan didn't answer, only quietly identified the smell in the air. He did recognize an unfamiliar demonic aura, but it was so faint that it blew and disappeared as soon as the wind blew.

Did you run away...... Gu Hongyuan didn't say anything, but he remembered this in his heart.

[two]

Gu Hongyuan didn't expect that the monster that ran away before would dare to find him after a while.

It still made him fall asleep in the same way, only this time, he came directly to the palace. The previous Pipa Girl did not appear again, and he smoothly pushed open the palace gate.

There's a big feast going on inside. These people looked like they were all human, and Gu Hongyuan observed the main hall. To be precise, it is the human aristocracy. They were talking and laughing loudly. And the pipa girl that Gu Hongyuan had seen before was in the middle of the main hall, cheering them up.

But the crisp music was drowned out by these cacophony sounds.

Everyone didn't seem to see Gu Hongyuan who walked in, and he was still talking and laughing to himself. And the pipa girl was just stroking the strings with her eyebrows lowered.

At the end of the song, Gu Hongyuan heard a long sigh from the pipa girl, and then raised his eyes to look at him—with a chilling killing intent.

The moment the Pipa Girl flew towards him, he also put his hand on the hilt of the sword of the Fighting Ghost God.

"Don't!" came another identical pipa girl outside the hall. When she saw this imminent situation, she suddenly plucked the pipa in her arms!

The people who were talking and laughing froze for a moment, and then the scene of it all shattered piece by piece.

Gu Hongyuan's vision fell into darkness again.

[three]

However, this time Gu Hongyuan did not come to his senses, but came to a Japanese room. In front of him was the pipa girl from before. There was no murderous intent in the eyes of this pipa girl, only sadness. She raised her eyes to look at Gu Hongyuan, then lowered her eyebrows and stroked the pipa.

It's kind of interesting. Gu Hongyuan thought to himself, this made him not immediately pull out the Fighting Ghost God.

A slightly mournful tune sounded, and a new picture suddenly appeared in front of Gu Hongyuan's eyes. He saw the young pipa girl being sold, and was forced to start learning the pipa under the wielding rattan.

The moment she was sold, she became a "prostitute". The poor children looked down on her, the children of the nobility looked down on her even more, and the girls like her competed with each other.

She only has the lute in her arms, and she can only lower her eyebrows and stroke the strings day after day.

She grew up slowly, and she played the best among the pipa girls. She was allowed to stay in the palace and entertain the nobles.

At first, she was high-minded, but she soon discovered that the nobles didn't really listen to her tunes much, and they didn't care how well she played. They just need a girl who plays the pipa the best for them.

As she had done in the previous hall, she silently cheered the nobles, thinking that this was the end of her life.

The sound of the pipa suddenly became intense, and Gu Hongyuan saw a frivolous noble son who took a fancy to her appearance, blocked her in the courtyard, and asked her to be his concubine.

She thought about it, held the pipa and played a song, and asked, "What do you think, how is this song?"

The noble prince didn't understand what she meant, and said indiscriminately: "It's good." Festive. ”

There was sadness in her eyes: "But what I just played was a lamentation." ”

She rejected her son.

But the noble prince was so angry that he shouted so that people could catch her.

During the struggle, she held the pipa in her arms and slammed into the stone monument in the courtyard.

The lute was splattered with blood.

The pipa music also ended at this time.

"As you can see, I'm dead. She told Gu Hongyuan.

"What about her?" Gu Hongyuan looked coldly at the pipa girl who suddenly appeared in the Japanese room, exactly like her.

"She ......," the Pipa Girl's eyes became more sad, "she is my Pipa." ”

[four]

"Because I died too unwillingly, my soul was stranded in the world, and I never could be freed. "And my resentment was contaminated with the pipa, making her a demon too." ”

"She wanted to resurrect me, and when she heard that there was a youkai named Naraku' who had the jade of the four souls that could bring people back from the dead, she went to beg him. The Pipa Girl continued, "Naraku made one condition, and that was to kill you. ”

Scold. Naraku. Gu Hongyuan sneered again.

Pipa also sneered: "Since she has everything with you, you will not be considered to have died in vain." Even if I'm sorry for you, please die!"

As he spoke, the figure of the pipa was like lightning, attacking towards Gu Hongyuan!

Gu Hongyuan pulled out the Fighting Ghost God, but he didn't expect the pipa girl to stop in front of him.

Pipa stopped attacking: "Are you crazy?!"

The pipa girl's eyes were sad: "Exchange his life for my life...... We can't do that. ”

"Get out of the way. Gu Hongyuan said to the pipa girl.

"Get out of the way!" said Pipa.

The Pipa Girl just shook her head, firmly standing between them.

"I'm here to save you!" shouted Pipa, "others don't know, I know best! You died unjustly, and this resentment torments you day and night, and makes you suffer so much that you can't be relieved! Don't you understand yourself?

The pipa girl still shook her head: "We ...... You can't do that. ”

Gu Hongyuan silently looked at the back of the pipa girl, and at this moment, the raw teeth on his waist suddenly trembled slightly.

Raw teeth, is this what you mean? Gu Hongyuan thought to himself.

"Tunes, good. Gu Hongyuan said suddenly.
