Chapter 16: Breaking the Curse (Part II)
Pei Yao buried her head in her arms, and several pieces of rubble fell from the sky above her head, crackling and smashing around her, and her ears were temporarily deaf.
The alien golem was hit by the boulder, and spread its arms and jerked backwards in the void in a "golden rooster independence" posture.
Pei Yao propped her elbows and raised her head in embarrassment, and a golden light pierced the mist behind the alien golem and pointed straight at his vest.
The alien puppet sensed the sword qi behind him, and his left arm automatically stretched out to pick up Duan Liling, who had fallen to the ground, clasped her delicate neck, and quickly turned around to block Mu Chuyu's spirit snake sword.
The sword went sideways, Mu Chuyu and the different puppet staggered, and slid all the way to Pei Yao's side and stood still. He changed the spirit snake sword he was holding in his right hand to his left hand, and by the way, he leaned over and pulled Pei Yao's arm with his right hand, dragged her up, and then changed the spirit snake sword back to his right hand, and confronted the alien puppet with blazing eyes. After Pei Yao got up, she stood a few centimeters behind Mu Chuyu's side, and took advantage of this gap to breathe a sigh of relief, and felt out her handkerchief to treat her wound briefly.
"Let go of Miss Duan!" Mu Chuyu's expression was stern.
"Huh! They killed my own sister, and I'm going to let them die! The alien puppet yelled at Mu Chuyu with a hideous face, and the strength in his hand was a little greater. Duan Liling was pinched by him and tilted his head back, his face turned pale, and he begged for mercy with difficulty: "Xiaoyu was killed by that woman in yellow!" It's none of my business! ”
The alien puppet's vicious gaze fell on Pei Yao, although the other half of his ugly face was hidden behind Duan Liling's green silk, Pei Yao still shivered reflexively: Duan Liling! Okay, you little goblin, you still don't forget to die with me after all this time? Did I provoke you? I'm not familiar with Shen Xiaoxun!
Where do heteromorphic puppets who are blinded by hatred have the time to use their brains? With a flick of his big hand, he pushed Duan Liling away with one palm, Duan Liling had already taken precautions, transported the true qi in his body to the upper body, and threw himself on the ground with the palm of the alien puppet, allowing the alien puppet to rush over and fight with Mu Chuyu with a "whoosh".
The spirit snake sword struck at the heart of the different puppet like a snake spitting out a letter, and the different puppet took the right heel as the center of the circle, and turned sideways, leaned forward, and leaned back without moving, like a light and fluttering ghost flexibly flashing over Mu Chuyu's sword body.
"Humph! The Spirit Snake Sword is nothing more than that! Duan Liling snorted coldly.
But as soon as her words fell, the spirit snake sword wrapped around his body along the posture of the alien puppet, soft and tenacious like a real snake, piercing his heart from his right shoulder downward, and the hilt of the sword was still tightly held in Mu Chuyu's hand at this time, and his eyebrows were extremely high. It turns out that the spirit snake sword can be long or short, and it is easy to insert needles when it sees the seams, and even if it is a few feet away from the opponent, it can be blown and broken without effort.
The puppet smiled, clenched the tip of the sword in his right hand and pulled it back and stepped back a few feet, each holding one end, as if one was against the snake's head and the other was holding the snake's tail. If ordinary people did this, I am afraid that the four fingers would have been cut into mud long ago, but the puppets were not afraid, and they were broken and connected, and it didn't take much effort, anyway, except for the heart, it would be okay to hurt in other places.
Mu Chuyu had insight into the crooked mind of the alien puppet: It seems that if I want to get rid of him, in addition to being stable and ruthless, the most important thing in swordsmanship should be fast! He went through the scene in his mind of crushing it to pieces at a lightning speed, gritted his teeth and pulled the hilt of the sword in his hand, but he didn't expect that the strange puppet was really not a vegetarian, and when he turned his head, the elongated blue and black silk thought of him like a ghost, what is this stupid thing for? Preemptive? Mu Chuyu immediately made a decision, and with the sharpness and softness of the Spirit Snake Sword, his black hair was twisted to pieces, and the black silk flying in the sky made people feel numb, especially since they were as pervasive as dust, and after falling on the bodies of the two girls, it was enough to make them disgusted to the point of no return.
Just when Pei Yao and Duan Liling were so disgusted that they stomped their feet, kept patting away the hair on their clothes and faces, and even wanted to bury themselves underground, Shen Xiao came to find them.
He swept away the dense fog with his unfolded pin fan, flew out of it, and fell to the ground like an immortal descending in the red dust.
"Shen-" Duan Liling exhaled a word in surprise, and Shen Xiaoxun dodged the flying hair strands, and went straight to the puppet with murderous energy, and his whole body was snow-white, and there was not a single hair stuck to it.
The pin fan is really powerful! Mu Chuyu's eyes were lightly curled, and his gaze was narrow.
The dual-minded puppet looked at Shen Xiaoxun coming towards his face, and subconsciously blocked it with his backhand...... The black silk flying all over the sky finally stopped, and the spirit snake sword also returned to its own scabbard, Pei Yao and Duan Liling each covered their injuries and walked forward to look at the corpse of the alien puppet.
When the alien puppet reacted to Shen Xiaoxun's purpose for the heart, it was already too late, and the initial decision was like an arrow off the string, which was beyond the reach of regret! The pin fan was like a sharp sword into his heart...... His story ended hastily when the fog melted and the sunset sprinkled into the Valley of the Buried Moon like blood. The first tears after the heart-tingling were locked in the eyes, and the shadow of a young girl could be seen so clear that she could see the shadow of a young girl, spinning and smiling...... It's never too late, it's never too late!
After Xiaoyu's death, the curse of the Burial Moon Valley was naturally broken, and the desolate village enjoyed the whole village, singing and dancing all night...... It's just that Shen Xiaoxun rejected the village chief's solemn kindness and insisted on rushing back to Haitang Pavilion, and the village chief couldn't force him to stay. So Shen Xiaoxun and Duan Liling returned to Suzhou together, while Pei Yao and Mu Chuyu were very down-to-earth and played with the villagers for a night, and left early the next morning.
As soon as he entered the city gate of Suzhou, the prosperity in his eyes made Mu Chuyu feel like a world away, and the nature of the gentleman was once again exposed. After stretching his waist, he crossed his hand on his waist and moved a few times, looking at this posture, it seemed that he was preparing to fight dozens of rounds today: "It's better to be in Suzhou!" No wonder the ancients once said, 'There are a few places in the old Jiangnan that you will remember Wujiangkuma the most'! ”
Pei Yao glanced at him obliquely a few times, and snorted silently a few times with disdain.
Originally, Pei Yao's task was to follow Mu Chuyu closely, and then inquire about the news of Jiang Soul Guard from him, but these days, he didn't get any sporadic news, and he volunteered to help Shen Xiaoxun and Duan Liling. She thought about whether to go back to the Begonia Pavilion first, and then take on some other tasks for the time being? It's okay to take care of both ends like this, it's impossible to guard this stinky rascal for the rest of your life, right?
"What do you think?" Mu Chuyu touched her arm with her elbow and asked with a hippie smile, "Shen Xiaoxun and Duan Liling have both returned to Begonia Pavilion?" You're not going back? ”
Pei Yao frowned slightly, and said in her heart: What does this guy mean? Are you trying to take me away?
"I told you, I'm a dog skin plaster on you! Don't tear me off so easily! Pei Yao pointed at Mu Chuyu with her index finger and spoke against him arrogantly.
Mu Chuyu pouted helplessly: "Okay then!" Where are you going? ”
"I'll go wherever you go!" Pei Yao didn't have to think about it, she blurted out directly.
"Where did I go...... It's not appropriate for your girl's family to go! Mu Chuyu secretly glanced at Pei Yao and said euphemistically.
"Where?" Pei Yao asked knowingly, and looked at each other with wide eyes.
Mu Chuyu lowered his head and patted the clothes on his body, and said, "Chunxin Building!" When he said these three words, he deliberately looked away, pretending to be embarrassed.
"It's not like I haven't been! What kind of grandson are you pretending to be for me! Pei Yao rolled her eyes and "cut" contemptuously.
Mu Chuyu felt that this stupid Pei Yao didn't understand the meaning of her words, so she pursed her lips again in a hurry, and gestured to her with her dancing hands: "No! That's not what it means – I mean, this – this time – it's not the same as the last time you bumped into it! ”
Pei Yao turned her head to look at him, her face was innocent and dazed, and her eyes rolled a few times: "What do you mean?" ”
In the face of such a stupid person, Mu Chuyu didn't bother to bother to beat around the bush, and said directly: "I didn't go to Chunxinlou this time to simply listen to Xiaoqu......
"Stop!" Pei Yao raised her hand and understood in an instant, and nodded knowingly, "I understand!" I know! ”
After that, he dusted his chest with the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold!" I won't bother! ”
"W-what about you?" Mu Chuyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said tentatively.
"Me? Of course, it's back to Begonia Pavilion! Pei Yao laughed at him for doing more.
A flash of lightning flashed in his mind, Mu Chuyu's face twitched slightly, and a touch of depth appeared in his eyes. But soon he regained his bright smile and nodded to Pei Yao casually.
——
Legend has it that on a night more than 30 years ago, the demon wind gusted, blowing away the last low gloom before the moon, and the side lady of a family surnamed Shi in a county town in Suzhou gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the full moon at that time gradually changed from bright to blood-red.
The baby boy was named Shi Deen, and the baby girl was named Shi Nanyu.
It's a pity that the brothers and sisters brought misfortune to the Shi family from the moment they were born, first their mother died in childbirth, and then the Shi family's business gradually declined. Three years later, the Shi family and son drowned, Mrs. Zheng suffered from madness, Shi was addicted to alcohol and collapsed, and the Shi family also ate inside and out, and dispersed, leaving less than ten loyal old servants to guard this once beautiful Shi family compound.
Although there are many variables in the Shi family, the relationship between the brother and sister is getting worse and stronger, Shi Deen is even more considerate and caring for his sister Shi Nanyu, until the year when the brothers and sisters were eighteen years old, Shi Deen was already a talent and learned five cars, and Shi Nanyu was even more slim and enchanting. His father, Shi Yuanwai, married a concubine from Qinglou, and this concubine was named Lu Yao, who was proficient in the art of the Five Elements Bagua. When she saw these two brothers and sisters after entering the door, she was immediately frightened and her pupils dilated, and she was stunned for a while. After she sobered up, she hurriedly gave herself a hexagram, which was a great omen!
Lu Yao informed Shi Yuan of the matter, saying that Shi Deen and Shi Nanyu, two brothers and sisters, were a pair of adulterers/husbands/**** in their previous lives, the man was a bandit full of evil, and the woman was a wife who was a good man, and they were also ominous people in this life, I am afraid that they will also encounter misfortune soon! Shi Yuanwai waved his hand and thought that she was talking nonsense, which was not to be believed...... But in less than a month, Lu Yao was told by himself at the beginning, died tragically on his bed, and his head was cut off.
Shi Yuan was shocked, recalling all the misfortunes that had happened to the Shi family in the past eighteen years, all the encounters were connected into a line in his mind, and the end of the line was the birth of the two brothers and sisters! So, he and the housekeeper planned to poison the brother and sister, but they were overheard by the brother and sister's wet nurse, who couldn't bear to see the tragic death of the child she brought up, and informed the brother and sister of the plan.
Shi Deen and Shi Nanyu fled from Shi's house that night, but when passing through the grove outside the city, the elder brother sacrificed himself in order to cover his sister's successful escape. After Shi Yuanwai captured Shi Deen, he put him in a custom-made Nanmu coffin, intending to turn the coffin into ashes in the wild. That night, there was no wind or moon, and the fire burned fiercely, but it was stirred up by a sudden rain...... Shi Yuanwai had already returned to Shi's house at that time, but a charred black hand crawled out of the tattered coffin in the wild...... The slaves present were frightened and fled.
