Chapter 49: The Art of Rebirth

Probably because of the damage to his vocal cords, his voice was completely distorted: "Yue'er...... How can you allow yourself to do such a thing that is contrary to the way of heaven?"

"The Way of Heaven?" Pei Yuewan glanced at him with a smile, "What is the 'Way of Heaven', and what is 'humanity', I don't know any of these, but if I can find a path that I want to take, why not become a demon and become a demon?"

"Becoming a Demon ......"

With that terrible shout, the flesh and blood on his body began to detach, and Xie Zhen's body, which could still be called a 'human', had been completely destroyed, and he was only a living creature with a broken bone.

"Brother Xie......"

Seeing this scene, Pei Yuewan took a few steps back in a panic, and at this time, fresh flesh and blood actually grew on the man's bones.

The woman's eyes widened, watching as the flesh grew out little by little to wrap around the joints, and watched as the skin finally unfolded inch by inch and spread all over Xie Zhen's body.

"Brother Xie, I just want to save my brother, I didn't mean to let you become like this, I ......" Pei Yuewan squatted down, and her cold face no longer revealed too many emotions, "These are all Yue'er's faults, and after this life, I will definitely pay you back." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and held the man's palm tightly, the warmth of this body made Xie Zhi's whole body tremble, and a feeling of suffocation came from Xie Zhi's nose, which felt as if there were thousands of insects and ants eating every inch of his flesh and blood, which was really several times more painful than a needle piercing fire, and even the bones in his whole body were constantly 'gurgling'.

Xie Zhi tried to let go, but his whole body just couldn't move, and his soul slowly merged into Pei Yuewan's eyes as if it had been sucked, and occasionally a picture flashed in his mind, this is ...... A scene where the three of them played together as children.

"Brother, Yue'er said that she would marry you and stay with you for the rest of her life, and she would never let you die like this. ”

Hearing this, Xie Zhen's whole body froze, and a red pattern appeared on his newborn wrist, which spread all over his body, and disappeared in an instant. When the man's fingers were released, Xie Zhi suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Since returning from Pei's house that day, Lu Li has kept himself stuffy in the study without eating or sleeping, saying that he must find some evidence. "Why don't you go out for a bite to eat?"

Lu Li poked his head out of a pile of books: "Su Jue, what are you doing here?"

"Are you still thinking about the Pei family?"

"Pei Gongzi saved my life, since you don't care, then I'll take care of it! I won't let him be so wronged. ”

Su Juexi sat on the ground and rummaged through it.

"What are you doing? If you are reluctant, don't pretend to be a good person. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I have nothing to do and want to find a few books, you flip through yours, I'll look for mine, everyone has a lot to do. ”

Knowing that this person has a hard mouth, Lu Li will not expose it, but only continue to look for clues.

A few hours passed, and Lu Li was really dizzy.

"Come and see if this is what you saw on the Pei family's spirit flag that night. ”

"Oh?" Lu Li took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a notebook, "That's it, this is this, Su Jue, you're amazing!"

"This is the text of Nanwu, and it is only used during sacrifices or formations. ”

"You're from the south, can you read these things?"

"I can understand a little bit. ”

"You've found the right person!" Lu Li pointed to the middle row and asked, "Let's see what this means." ”

"Nanya-kun?" he read out the signature on the page, "It seems that it was left by the Yin-Yang Warlock under the Blazing Monarch." ”

"What about the content?

Su Jue read slowly: "Take the dew grass of Wushan, the Qiongyu of Yaoshan, and the cherry blossom of Yingtai...... Only by looking for people who have the five elements in harmony and the same number of lives can they be reincarnated for death and prolong their lives. ”

"Reincarnation? That is, you can live forever with this?"

That's what the book says. ”

Lu Li took the notes and guessed, "Could it be that Pei Yuewan used the reincarnation technique?"

"Impossible, this notebook is incomplete, not to mention that the specific alchemy method stated in the book has been lost, is it possible that Nanyajun can still tell her dreams?"

"Then look at this," Lu Li took out another scroll and said, "This is what I found before, but I can't understand the words on it, and now I see that the pattern on it is a bit similar to the one on this notebook, can you see if there is also a connection?"

Su Jue took a look, and the bamboo slip was written with the Li seal of the blazing country, "The Li seal is an ancient text, and I don't know much, so I can only roughly guess the meaning of the top." ”

"It's okay, you say you say!"

Su Jue looked at it carefully for a long time before he said, "Lead water irrigation...... Broken bones are guided, and circles are attached...... I thought I thought it was ......"

The bamboo slip had rotted and broken over the years, and the handwriting was blurred.

"Lead water, what do you mean?"

"The above record should be a kind of Southern Witchcraft Gu technique, saying that it is to pour lead water into the body of the Gu Player, remove the whole human skin and sew it into clothes, then grind the bones into powder, boil a part of the powder with the flesh and blood, and then use the other part to make a paste powder, so that it is considered to be a female Gu; After the two Gu of the son and mother are completed, it will take seven days to become a puppet, and the puppet will belong to the person who is in the next cup, and he will obey his orders, which is commonly known as reincarnation, also known as the Seven Days Gu. ”

"This method also has to skin and grind people's bones!"

"Hmm. ”

Su Jue vaguely remembered that there was this kind of Gu technique in the Blazing Landing Kingdom, which was originally used to punish slaves, but it was banned because the process was too cruel, and it gradually disappeared over time.

"This is clearly cannibalism!"

"It's not just about eating people, it is said that the victim has no breath after being hit by the Gu, as if he has died, but the actual five senses are still there, but he can't speak or act. ”

Lu Li was stunned, "That is to say, do you want to skin and tear them apart alive?"

"Hmm. ”

How could it be? Could it be that Pei Yuewan would do such a cruel thing to her biological brother?

"By the way, you just said ...... The victim had no breath at all, as if he was already dead!" Lu Li remembered the night he first arrived at Pei's house, when he heard a scraping sound coming from the coffin. At this time, Lu Li realized that the scraping sound was not made by Pei Yuewan, but Pei Yanxiu lying in the coffin. He was stunned, and his whole body seemed to have fallen into a frozen lake. is just saying that Pei Yanxiu was not dead that night!

"So...... I didn't realize that he didn't look like a plague, and I ......."

"Facts are impermanent, how could you have expected it?" Su Jue shook his head, and changed the conversation again: "It's clean when you're dead, but I heard that this kind of cup technique is very ruthless, if you miss the time, the person in the Gu will turn into a nightmare for life and life, until the soul is destroyed, this kind of torture that has lasted for thousands of years is unimaginable to ordinary people." ”

"Shichen, you mean, Pei Gongzi will become a nightmare?"

"Let's not talk about it so much, let's rush to Pei's Mansion immediately, we can't go too late!"

Su Jue and Lu Li looked at each other and rushed out.

Chaoyun opened her eyes, her head was still groggy, she propped herself up from the bed, and when she opened the door, she saw that the sun was rising outside, and it was already noon. After a brief freshening, she went to call Xie and Pei, but when she opened the door, she saw that it was empty.

"Miss, Miss!"

Chaoyun opened Pei Yuewan's box, and sure enough, some of her favorite hairpins and fat powder were gone, along with the silver tickets in the cabinet. Chaoyun sat on the bed and looked out with blank eyes, could it be that Pei Yuewan left? Just left the Mirage City without saying a word! What about Xie Zhi? Xie Zhi, a person who knows etiquette and etiquette, also walked so quietly? Before she came back to her senses, she heard a knock on the door outside.

Chaoyun was overjoyed in her heart and hurriedly ran to open the door, but it was only Lu Li and Su Jue who appeared in front of her.

"Why are you again, how many times do you have to come before you give up?"

"I said I wanted to see your young lady. ”

"I said it too, no!"

Expecting that this person was going to close the door again, Lu Li simply kicked the door open, and the force shook Chaoyun so hard that he fell to the ground and didn't get up.

"Pei Yuewan, you come out for me! Where are you? Pei Yuehuanβ€”β€”"

"You guy, why don't you make any sense!"

Seeing that Chaoyun was about to take the stick that bolted the door, Su Jue stopped her and said, "Girl, if you still want to save your master, take us to her honestly, or Pei Gongzi will suffer even if he dies." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"The last time you said that your son-in-law had been buried, do you know where he is buried, but have you ever seen his body with your own eyes?

was asked a series of questions by Su Jue, and Chaoyun didn't know how to answer, since the death of the eldest son, Pei Yuewan was completely like a different person, and she couldn't even enter the courtyard where she lived at night.

As for Pei Yanxiu's body, the coffin had been sealed on the day of the burial, but the night before the burial, Pei Yuewan also asked herself to prepare a large amount of lead water and a set of knives for her. It's really strange that this kind of connection is really strange, knowing that now that Pei Yuewan and Xie Zhi are gone, Chaoyun really panicked.

"Tell me quickly! This is a matter of human life. ”

"I, but I can't ......"

"Girl, why don't you take us to the burial place of your eldest son first. ”

She looked at Su Jue and responded, "Come with me." ”

It turned out that Pei Yanxiu was buried in the mountain forest behind the Pei family's garden, and the new tomb had not yet erected a monument, but a big willow branch was inserted at the head of the tomb.

"Do you really want to open the coffin?"

"Nonsense. But when he got to the edge of the grave, Lu Li said, "We don't have shovels with us, how can we dig up here?"

"It's not hard. Su Jue said and turned his hand, and the soil on the grave was scattered layer by layer, and the coffin was revealed after a while.

"What's going on?" Chaoyun was stunned on the side, and hurriedly asked, "You, who are you......?" Are you playing tricks or are you magical?"

Lu Li looked up proudly: "Silly girl, look stunned! I said a long time ago that we are not bad people, and you still don't believe it." ”

"Don't be verbose, get ready to open the coffin. ”

As soon as Su Jue's words came out, Lu Li and Chaoyun also became nervous.
