tuedec1518:00:00cst2015

With the screams, all the sights and people began to distort, becoming smaller and smaller until they were no longer visible.

Shu Kui closed his eyes and opened them again - the yellow sand in front of him was boundless.

She was still standing on the stairs, beside her, and there was no doorway.

She looked at her hands and body, and she didn't notice anything abnormal, she didn't feel the cold current or the warm current in her body, and it was normal.

What's going on? How could you fall into a fantasy again?

Previously, the happiness of the stars and the moon was so real that when he returned to reality, Shu Kui was still a little unsatisfied and reluctant.

After a long time, she looked up again, but still did not see the end of the column.

Let's go, go find Ling Jiuchuan. She thought, continuing to climb upwards.

Walking down the stairs again, round and round, Shu Kui gradually became a little dizzy. After stumbling several times under her feet, she sat down panting, rubbing her sore calves and sighing.

"Nelle, don't be lazy." There was another voice.

Shu Kui was stunned for a moment, and didn't recognize who it was for a while.

From under the stairs where she was sitting, a middle-aged man slowly came up, his gray hair was combed back, his sideburns were long, and his eyes were bright and unusually clear.

"Master." Shu Kui stood up.

"Don't be lazy, keep climbing." The man said with a tiger face.

Shu Kui dared to be lazy, hurriedly turned around, held back his strength, and trotted up the stairs in two steps.

But she was so tired that she ran out of strength after running a few steps.

She stopped breathlessly, stretched out her hand to prop herself on the column beside her, but unexpectedly, her hand was empty, and the whole person fell into another doorway.

"Master Huo, this is what I mentioned to you, the daughter of Jin Operator." It was Ling Yukun who was talking.

Shu Kui blinked, and found that the place he was in at the moment was a hall, where most of the furniture and furnishings were made of bamboo, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance of bamboo.

"Jin Operator is a good person, and when he chats, he talks about his daughter the most." Huo Zhangmen sighed, "Little girl, your name is Nier, isn't it?" ”

Shu Kui looked up and saw that Master Huo was the middle-aged man he saw on the stairs just now.

Seeing that Shu Kui didn't speak, Master Huo asked again: "Nier, are you willing to enter the Yuan Hui Gate and worship me as a teacher?" ”

Shu Kui still didn't say anything, his mind was chaotic, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master Huo, I have been to the Bai family and the Gu family, and the people in both families have been almost killed by the medicine ghosts, and no one is willing to take this child in." Ling Yukun also ran for Shu Kui.

Huo Zhangmen sighed again: "Okay, you don't need to go to Muguang Courtyard, stay here." ”

"How good are you?" This is the sentence that Shu Kui thinks about the most, and subconsciously, he asked.

Hearing this, Huo Zhangmen and Ling Yukun glanced at each other.

"My husband taught me a lot of skills, but I still can't beat the medicine ghost and can't save my mother. If you want me to worship you as a teacher, how capable are you? Besides, even if I want to worship you as a teacher, I have to ask my husband if he agrees. When Shu Kui said these words, there was no wave in his heart.

Her words were reasonable, Huo Zhangmen nodded and asked, "Who is your husband?" ”

"Xiao Feng." Shu Kui's husband is a well-known scholar and warlock.

This name made Master Huo a little surprised, and he looked at Ling Yukun again.

Ling Yukun explained: "He opened a private school a few years ago, regardless of whether he is high or low, and only accepts talented disciples. ”

Master Huo nodded again, called someone, and ordered to find Xiao Feng.

"Do you know Mr. Xiao?" Shu Kui was also surprised.

Master Huo smiled and didn't say anything.

The three of them waited for more than ten minutes, and Xiao Feng really came.

As soon as he entered the door, he took a deep look at Master Huo, and then saluted Ling Yukun.

After the ceremony, when I saw Shu Kui, I was surprised.

"Mr. ......" saw the familiar person, Shu Kui burst into tears.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Feng was surprised that he heard that Shu Kui was dead, and he also cheated the corpse, "Are you okay?" ”

"My mother...... My mother ......" Shu Kui couldn't cry.

Xiao Feng immediately turned to Huo Zhangmen.

In front of Shu Kui, Huo Zhangmen couldn't bear to mention more, and only said that there had been a serious change in the Gu family, and then said: "She has nowhere to go, and I plan to let her enter my door, so I ask you to come and ask for your consent." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Xiao Feng was completely flattered.

"Sir, who is he? How capable is it? "Shu Kui has always been wary.

"He is the head of the Yuanhui Sect." Xiao Feng's attitude was quite respectful, "A few years ago, I was also under the Yuanhui Sect, but because of physical reasons, I had to quit. ”

"Mr. was once from Yuanhuimen?" This, Shu Kui didn't expect.

Xiao Feng said "um", smiled and shook his head: "It's really hard to say if you ask Master Huo how capable he is, anyway, if you say that your husband is very powerful in front of his old man, it will be really ridiculous and generous." Moreover, entering the Yuan Huimen, worshiping Huo Zhangmen as a teacher, and cultivating the immortal body is a good thing that no matter how many people ask for it, they can't ask for it. ”

Shu Kui stopped talking, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Master Huo: "Since you have such a great ability, why did the medicine ghost kill my father and harm my mother, you never care?" ”

"I'm sorry, it was really my negligence." Huo Zhangmen sincerely apologized and did not make any excuses.

"Girl, you can't blame Master Huo for this matter." Ling Yukun couldn't listen anymore, "He has been busy with the affairs of the Sinking Forest and the Nangong family in recent years, and he is not often in the Shengze Country, besides, the medicine ghost is a crime committed in the Kuixian Territory, and I didn't inform Master Huo." ”

Shu Kui looked at Ling Yukun, looked at Huo Zhangmen, and then looked at Xiao Feng, without saying a word.

"Okay, Nier will stay at Yuanhui Gate first, and the rest will be talked about later." Huo didn't want to put too much pressure on Shu Kui.

"You listen to Master Huo's words, live here with peace of mind, and I will come to see you again." Xiao Feng actually likes this student very much.

Shu Kui still didn't make a sound, and he didn't say anything.

Xiao Feng only thought that she had been hit too hard, and couldn't help but sigh heavily, saluted Huo Zhangmen and Ling Yukun, and prepared to leave.

"Sir, I want to switch to the Yuanhui Sect and worship the head of Huo as a teacher." At this time, Shu Kui thought clearly.

"yes, of course." Xiao Feng agreed.

Shu Kui immediately knelt down, first worshiped Xiao Feng, and then worshiped Huo Zhang.

Yuanhui Gate has never been a formality, a qiē ceremony can be exempted, the apprenticeship ceremony is naturally quite simple, all the people get together, get to know each other, and then post to inform all parties involved, it is good.

Since the death of her parents one after another, Shu Kui's heart is like pressing a big stone, she doesn't want to speak, she doesn't want to laugh, she even looks up at others and feels redundant, there are many nights, she tosses and turns, thinking about the happy life before, thinking about the scene when she first met the medicine ghost, and thinking of Xiaoxiao, hatred grows like weeds.

Huo Zhangmen understood her thoughts, never forced her to greet anyone, even if what she said was ignored, she never lost her temper, and only when she was learning spells, she became extremely stern and couldn't tolerate a little inattention.

Entwined with grief and depression, Shu Kui, who was almost breathless, began to practice day and night, and she must go back to her room to rest until she was exhausted.

Such days lasted for a while, and Shu Kui's whole person lost weight, looking light and weak.

Seeing that her face was getting darker and darker, Huo Zhangmen couldn't help but feel anxious, thought about it, and decided to take her to the underworld.

Before leaving, Shu Kui learned the destination of the trip and didn't say anything.

The two of them passed through the Sinking Forest, entered the Ghost Gate, passed through the Ten Halls of Yama, and went to the Lookout.

Meng Po is still a beautiful young woman, in front of a huge iron pot, constantly boiling Meng Po soup.

Huo Zhangmen asked Shu Kui to stand still, and he approached Meng Po.

"Yo, Huo Shen, rare guest." Meng Po raised her head with a smile on her face.

Huo Zhangmen nodded at her, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Don't you have to listen to the complaints of those guys in the forest today? How do you have time to come here? Meng Po called a ghost messenger and asked him to help stir the soup in the pot.

"I'd like to ask you to make some soup for me." Huo Zhangmen did not beat around the bush at all.

"Which one?" Meng Po subconsciously glanced at Shu Kui behind him.

"Forget the revenge." Huo Zhangmen said.

"Is it for her?" Meng Po pointed at Shu Kui, "How old is it?" What is the deep hatred and hatred, Yan zhòng is so bad that he wants to come to me to forget his hatred? ”

Huo Zhangmen lowered his voice slightly and said: "Her parents were killed, especially her mother, who died very badly, and she was also tortured a lot. Now, the murderer has been brought to justice, but he has left a daughter, who is the little girl's half-sister. Her current hatred is all transferred to this sister, and I am afraid that one day, she will do something. ”

"Who is she?" Meng Po glanced at Shu Kui again.

"My new apprentice." Huo Zhangmen answered all questions and did not hide it.

"Apprentices?" Meng Po was a little surprised, "You have confiscated apprentices for hundreds of years, right?" ”

Huo Zhangmen smiled and acquiesced.

"What are her parents' names? Maybe it's still here. Meng Po didn't know where to take out a thick roster, "It's pitiful, do you want to let them see the last time?" ”

"Her mother is gone." Huo Zhangmen's voice was lower, "My father's surname is Gu, his name is Gu Qinghe, and he is from Shengze Xin City." ”

Meng Po muttered the name and began to rummage through the roster.

Shu Kui was on the side, staring at their every move a little nervously.

After a while, Meng Po said "ah": "Here." I'll see, well, good and evil are equal, line up below. ”

After saying that, he called a ghost messenger and ordered him to go to the team to find someone.

It was only about two or three minutes later, and the ghost came with Gu Qinghe.

When the father and daughter saw each other, they were in tears.

"Dad, that bad guy has been executed by Kui Xian Guo Yu Kun Xià." This is Shu Kui's first sentence.

Gu Qinghe wiped his eyes: "What about your mother, are you okay?" ”

"Mother......" Shu Kui choked up and couldn't continue.

"Mrs. Zun is very good." Huo stepped forward and replied for Shu Kui.
