234. [234] The Tale of the Night Fire

"This man can only disguise the ghost into his own form. So if you see someone who looks exactly like this ghost, then this person must be the owner of this box! With a confident smile on his face, he knew that the people in purple must have seen someone who looked exactly like this ghost.

"We did meet someone like this ghost," Ziyi looked at the night fire, but her brows were still wrinkled, "but it's not exactly the same." ”

Indeed, the second lady had no scars on her face, and she looked plumper than this woman.

"How so? Is it a lot worse? Nightfire took a hurried step forward, but because his body was too weak, he stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, the silver pupil quickly held him up.

"Aside from the scars on her face, the woman is a little fatter, not as skinny as the ghost." Ziyi replied truthfully, and described how he met the ghost from beginning to end with Nightfire.

Nightfire stopped talking, and he lowered his head and pondered, wondering why this was the case.

It's just that even if the night fire thinks about it, he can't think of a reason, and everyone can only wait for the news of the Wuhua Palace.

Early the next morning, Nie Yun sent someone to deliver the news.

It turned out that the two ladies and her sister were really twin sisters. My sister's name is Ning Xiang, and my sister's name is Ning Rou.

It's just that the second lady married Cui Yuanwai and lived a life of fine clothes and food, but her sister was not so lucky.

I heard that her sister married a family in the county town and became a concubine, and she was bullied by the main room all day long, and she couldn't eat enough and couldn't dress warmly. In the end, he was even framed by the main room, disfigured, and kicked out. And this Ning Xiang family is indeed the second elder, and his father has been sick since they just gave their mother a funeral, and he died recently.

The second lady Ning Xiang didn't seem to be lying.

However, since Ning Rou was kicked out, there has been no news, and Nie Yun has not yet found out her whereabouts. Neither of her two older brothers knew it.

"If you look at it this way, the person who uses this infant spirit behind her back is Ning Rou, the sister of the second lady? But where should we go to find her now? Yin Tong looked at the note that Nie Yun handed over to Duanmu Xun, and couldn't help but have a headache: "Anyway, now that the box is in our hands, we don't need to care about this matter anymore, right?" ”

"Fool! Now that the box is in our hands, do you think that woman will give up? Ziyi glared at the silver pupil angrily.

"Ziyi, I found out that you are a loss-making business as soon as you come out!" Silver pupils return fire.

When this sentence was said, Ziyi was suddenly speechless-

Indeed, before she wanted to intervene, the business of this ghostly monster had always been good, and nothing had gone wrong, but now as soon as she wanted to mix and mix, there was such a thankless thing.

She frowned tightly, walked to the door with heavy steps, and pushed the door open: "Hey, the weather is really good today!" ”

Outside the gate, the sky was overcast, and a downpour could come at any moment.

Ziyi pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, closed the door again, stretched out her arm and pointed at Duanmu Kaoru and said, "It must all be because of Kaoru!" He was born with the physique to attract evil spirits, and he must have provoked all the difficult guys! ”

Duanmu Kaoru looked at the little woman who pointed at him with a smile, and gently hooked the corners of his lips: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, then-I lose money so much, do you want to?" ”

Ziyi looked at Duanmu Kaoru's expression, couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.

"Don't make a fuss, let's go meet that second lady Ning Xiang, maybe we can learn the whereabouts of her sister Ning Rou from her." When Nightfire said this, he walked out the door.

Night Fire has never been so concerned, and his heart Cheng dù made Zi Yi raise his eyebrows: "What's wrong Night Fire?" I've never seen you so diligent. ”

"This box has something to do with my master's death." Yehuo looked at Ziyi, and couldn't smile at all, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth at Ziyi, revealing a super ugly expression.

Hearing the words of the night fire, Ziyi also restrained his smile.

"Night fire, now the weather outside seems to be likely to rain at any time, and Nie Yun is still continuing to inquire about the news, I guess now that we go to Cui Yuanwai's house, I'm afraid we won't be able to ask anything, so we might as well be calm and wait here." Ziyi gently patted Yehuo's shoulder and continued, "I never knew that you had a master, tell us about it?" ”

Ziyi is very curious about the master of the night fire, I wonder if the master of the night fire is also the same as the night fire, with red hair and red eyes?

"I was born in a small village in the middle of nowhere, and my hair and eyes have been red since I was born, so everyone in the village regarded me as a monster. But I was the only boy in the family, so my parents were reluctant to leave me, so they locked me in the house all day long, and did not let me have contact with the people in the village. The people in the village were also relatively simple, except for not talking to me, they never felt sorry for my parents, until that year, my master came to the village and found my parents directly, saying that he wanted to take me away. Nightfire said, looking out the window, the door of memory opened, and he seemed to have returned to that time back then.

At that time, he was only five years old, but he was already until his own difference and the alienation of the people in the village. At that time, his greatest wish was to be able to play with the children in the village and catch crickets.

But the children were afraid of him, and called him a monster, and they would not play with him, no matter how much he tried to be nice to them.

Until his master appeared.

That day, he stayed alone in the house, and when he saw his parents walking away, he sneaked out of the dog hole in the corner and squatted on the stone bridge at the head of the village.

He didn't know why he had to be here, but in the dark it was as if he was doomed, and he always felt that maybe one day, someone from outside the village would come and change his fate.

And this person was really waited for by him.

When his master appeared, he didn't even ask his name, he just called him "Nightfire", which was not his name, but he agreed like a ghost.

When his master negotiated with his parents, his parents resolutely rejected his master's request. After that meeting, he remembered that his master had found him privately and asked him if he would like to follow him.

Nightfire didn't hesitate at all, and nodded vigorously.

He felt that the people in the village must be too stupid to stay away from him.

Maybe if you leave the village with the man in front of you, it will be different! Maybe the people outside the village look the same as him! Or - maybe he was raised by his parents from outside the village!

It's just that when Nightfire and the old man secretly left the village and came to the world outside the village, Nightfire realized that he was wrong. The wrong is so naïve, and the wrong is so outrageous. The people outside the village and the people in the village all look the same, and in this world, it seems that he is the only one who is so different.

The people outside the village rejected him more than the people in the village, and when he walked down the street with his master, the passers-by would point at him, the children would point at him and cry, and some adults would even hold weapons and claim to kill him as a monster.

For this reason, the night fire languished for a long time.

And his master simply took him to live in the mountains, and lived every day on some wild fruits and prey, only occasionally, his master would go out of the mountains for a while, at that time, Yehuo did not know what his master was doing when he went out of the mountain, only that every time he came back, he would bring back a lot of delicious and fun and new clothes.

It wasn't until Yehuo was ten years old that his master told him that he had gone out of the mountains to catch ghosts for some people, and these people would give him a lot of money as a reward.

At that time, Little Night Fire had a feeling of admiration for his master for the first time, and kept begging his master to teach him how to hunt ghosts! In this way, maybe he will be needed!

And his master really decided to start teaching him.

The road to learning is always difficult, but Yehuo is born with good qualifications, and there are different powers in his body, and when he was thirteen years old, he was already able to freely control the power in his body, and even control the changes in his own hair color and pupil color.

As long as he doesn't use the power in his body, he can have black hair and black eyes like a normal person.

For this reason, Yehuo was happy for a long time, and his master was finally able to take him out of the mountain where he had lived for eight whole years.

Since then, he has followed his master everywhere to hunt ghosts, and his reputation has gradually become louder. At that time, he was still very naïve, and the life of Dashan allowed him to maintain his childish nature.

Therefore, he felt that he might be able to live like his master forever, and then in the future, he could ask for a wife and have a child like a normal person, and he would definitely honor his old man like his own parents.

However, things are often not as rosy as expected.

When Nightfire was fifteen years old, he fell in love with a girl.

The girl was not very pretty, but when she laughed, she showed two small tiger teeth and deep dimples on her cheeks. The girl is the girl under the hands of the popular girl in the flower building, and the night fire often throws a lot of the money she earns in the flower building for this girl.

Until the day of his birthday, he had made an appointment with the girl that they would celebrate his birthday together, and the night fire wanted to lead the girl to his master.

But on this day, he waited for a long time in the place they agreed, but he couldn't wait for the girl, and the night fire was anxious for a while, and when he found the flower building, he learned that the girl was actually taken by the old [harmony] bustard in the flower building, and was dragged to accompany the guests.

The night fire was furious about this, and the entire flower building was washed in blood.

It's just that he still hasn't found the girl he loves.

Because of this, his master was furious and forcibly took him back to the mountains and forests, asking him to cultivate his mind well.

But Nightfire had no intention of cultivating at all, and his head was full of the girl's laughter.

So that day, he took advantage of the master's unpreparedness and secretly stayed out.

The wanted portrait of the government is still hanging on the city tower, and there is no way to do it at night, so I have to choose to travel at night. He searched for a long time near the flower building, but he couldn't find the girl, and finally when he was disappointed and wanted to leave, he accidentally saw a familiar shadow from the passing carriage.

He was just about to call out the name of his beloved, but there happened to be a group of officers and soldiers patrolling by, and there was no way, the night fire was worth jumping on the roof and secretly following the carriage.

The carriage stopped outside the door of a well-known local rich family, and the familiar man stepped out of the carriage, brightly dressed, and could barely see the little girl in the flower building a few days ago.

When the night fire stood in her room despite the danger, the girl's attitude was unusually cold.

Nightfire remembers very clearly, at that time, the woman said to him: "You are already a murderer, if I go with you, why will you give me happiness!" ”

She had never spoken to him with such an attitude, and in his impression, she would only laugh, even if she was bullied by the girls who served her, she still smiled. She would never use such a sharp tone, never with such a condescending attitude.

In the end, the night fire was forced away by the woman [Harmony], because the woman actually shouted to catch the thief!

Yehuo returned to the mountain in despair, but what he didn't expect was that his master was already dying!

At that moment, Yehuo only felt a "buzz" in his whole brain, and he walked to the master's side and helped up the person who was lying on the ground, with only a trace of breath left.

And next to his master, there was a box, and in that box lay a strange thing that had been burned black.

With the last of his strength, his master told him that the box was called Infant Spirit, and explained the usefulness of the box and the danger, and told him to protect the box no matter what.

But the night fire didn't do it.

When his master took his last breath, he only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and he lost consciousness. When he woke up, the baby box was gone, as was the blackened body of the baby.

Over the years, he has been searching, but he has never been able to find the whereabouts of this thing.

It's just that now, unexpectedly, he actually saw this thing again!

In the narrative of Night Fire, the name of the woman he loves is never mentioned, and it is difficult for Ziyi to ask. It's just that she roughly understands why Yehuo always treats women with a hint of defensiveness and cruelty, and it turns out that she is just a bitter lover who has been hurt by love.

"Do you think the person who stole this thing might be the murderer of your master?" Ziyi looked at the night fire and asked the question in her heart.

"It must be! This kind of thing is not easy to raise, because the infant spirit at that time has not yet been cultivated, so the master can die with the infant spirit! ”
