Chapter 1: Lisu Girls
The beautiful south of Caiyun, the quiet and mysterious ancient alleys, the shops with white walls and gray tiles on both sides, the Lisu people dressed in national costumes, singing straight and simple national tunes in their mouths, fiddling with baskets and baskets, pastries and tea, fruits and vegetables, buying and selling along the street.
A heroic girl with flowing eyes, wearing a carefully embroidered Lisu headscarf, happily jumped from one end of the alley to the other, singing her song "You Ye Ye" that she learned out of nowhere:
Cover my lips, warm my past life,
Take my hand and go to the rest of your life together.........
The girl hung two silver bells around her waist, and the jingle was very high-profile all the way.
This is Mo Jiu'er's girlhood, although everyone in the alley knows Mo Jiu'er's name, but where does she really come from? Who are the biological parents? Nobody knows.
I only know that 20 years ago, by the Nu River, after a violent storm, a middle-aged couple who traveled here picked up a baby on a reef, and the three main patterns on the baby's right palm resembled a "nine" character, so the couple named the baby "Jiu'er", the big name Mo Jiu'er.
Mo Jiu'er was raised by the couple in the countryside, and Jiu'er, who loved martial arts and didn't love literature since he was a child, grew up to be flying and domineering all the way.
At the age of nineteen, Jiu'er followed the instructions of his adoptive mother to visit a well-known sorcerer of the Lisu tribe who lived in Shuiling Ancient Town, and said that Ni Pao would be able to unlock the secret of Jiu'er's right palm print.
The Lisu people advocate witchcraft, like the women of Jiu'er's adoptive mother's age, as long as they encounter some strange things, most of them have to find a wizard for divination, although Jiu'er doesn't believe this, but she is a girl who is overly curious, and her adoptive mother's words have just been halfway through, Jiu'er has already carried a basket of fruits, singing all the way to Shuiling Ancient Town.
Inquire all the way, pass through the lively shops and restaurants, turn into a quiet bluestone path, on both sides is the emerald green bamboo forest, a clear river is hidden in it, the murmuring sound of flowing water soothes the hearts of passers-by, and at the end of the path, a thousand-foot bamboo strip house appears in front of you.
The fresh and elegant breath is coming, looking up, there are four big characters on the lintel on the second floor of the bamboo strip house, the Nippa Mansion, and a couplet on both sides of the door:
Seal the bad karma of past lives.
Guide the way to the lost in the afterlife.
Jiu'er stuck to the door, looking into the room.
The interior display is simple, with a mother-in-law sitting on a bamboo and rattan chair, and a young man standing next to a fire on a tripod, with his head bowed and muttering something in his mouth. The living room was very dimly lit, and there were several talismans and Sanskrit hanging in the air, revealing a bit of mystery and gloom.
"Come in." There was a whisper in the guest room, the voice was very directional, it was said to Mo Jiu, Jiu'er's hand on the doorstack froze for a moment, and then shook his head, and walked in "chic", not forgetting to smile mischievously at the mother-in-law sitting next to the fire pit in the center of the guest room, the mother-in-law is about sixty years old, with gray hair, sharp eyes, full of energy, wearing a typical linen waist-length shirt and long skirt of the Lisu people, and a string of seashell necklaces on the chest, although the face is full of smiles, but the eyes are weird, giving people an indescribable feeling, Jiu'er stretched the corner of her clothes and continued to laugh.
The mother-in-law sat on the bamboo and rattan chair, turned her head slightly to the opposite side of Jiu'er, and said to the young man, "Go on." ”
The man cautiously raised his head, glanced at Mo Jiu, and then lowered his eyelids and looked towards the ground.
"After a few of our classmates got drunk, they played the game of Bloody Mary, and everyone was just bored and fooled around, thinking that they couldn't summon Mary at all...... I didn't expect ...... Just as I walked into the bathroom alone and lit the candles, a white shadow appeared in the mirror...... I was so frightened that I almost escaped from the bathroom, but I was afraid of my classmates' jokes, so I stood still and didn't move, the white shadow gradually became clear, it was a woman, with her hair scattered, standing upside down in the mirror, there was still blood at the corner of her mouth, she was Bloody Mary, I stood in front of the mirror, I was so scared that I couldn't say a word, Mary comforted me in the mirror, saying that she would not hurt me...... She also said that she knew about my past life, there was a girl named Shengzi who had been looking for me, saying that I had abandoned Shengzi in my previous life, and Mary said that she would bring Shengzi to me later, but I didn't expect it to be ...... that night" At this point, the young man stopped, his face flushed, as if there was something unspeakable, and it was difficult to continue.
The mother-in-law stared intently into his eyes, and the silent pressure forced the young man to speak again, "That night, I dreamed of Shengzi, she was an extremely beautiful woman, with long hair, a delicate nose, and red lips, and we ...... We lingered in the dream for a long time," Speaking of this, the man's face was filled with joy, and Mo Jiu pouted and looked at the man, really wanting to take a bite of him.
The man's face suddenly turned pale, and his tone became extremely nervous, "But I didn't expect that since then, I dreamed of Shengzi every night, she pestered me all night long, and said that she wanted to bring me to her world, I was exhausted every morning, and my classmates said that my face was getting worse and worse, and the whole person seemed to be sucked dry, mother-in-law, I was so scared, now I don't dare to sleep, will I really be taken away by Shengzi, I don't want to die yet......"
Mo Jiu, who was standing opposite the handsome guy, had a cold back and his hairs stood up, I didn't expect such a bizarre thing, Bloody Mary This game Jiu'er had heard of it a long time ago, it is a kind of psychic game that is popular among young people in the West, similar to the summoning pen fairy in the East, but the former itself is an evil spirit, and the pen fairy is just a weak spirit.
To summon a Bloody Mary, the summoner walks into a dark bathroom alone, lights a candle in front of a mirror, and then recites Mary's name three times, and "Bloody Mary" can be summoned if "lucky".
Mo Jiu looked at the trembling young man, the guy had delicate skin, clean temperament, a pair of Korean-style Danfeng eyes, a "little fresh meat", it's a pity, why provoke evil spirits, Mo Jiu is a straightforward girl, after listening to the handsome guy's words, she suddenly remembered something, and said loudly, "Mother-in-law, Sheng Zi will not suck up his yang energy like a female ghost in Liaozhai." Jiu'er pointed to the handsome guy opposite.
The young man was frightened, Jiu'er pouted and smiled, just this guts is still romantic, the cause of the past life, the fruit of the future life, see what he does.
The mother-in-law raised her eyes slightly and looked at the young man, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, thought for a moment, and said, "Your name is Xuanye."
The guy nodded.
A strange look flashed in the mother-in-law's eyes, and then she said, "The yin spirits summoned by Bloody Mary are all evil spirits with heavy resentment, and the yin spirits born from resentment will not stop unless their long-cherished wishes are satisfied. ”
"Mother-in-law, I'...... I don't want to die......" Xuan Ye's face turned even paler with fright, and his helpless eyes even fell on Mo Jiu's body.
Mo Jiu hurriedly took a step back, "What do you see me doing?" Could it be that I can still save you? "Who let him be someone's lover in his previous life, let him enjoy his love in this life, Jiu'er laughed in his heart.
"It's not going to die. Crossing into the past life, unraveling the evil you planted, and you will come back intact. Do you know the yin? You young people are called crossing. The mother-in-law said with a smile.
Legend has it that people who can pass through the yin will not cry when they are born, and according to common sense, children who do not cry will not survive, but they can not only survive, but they are much smarter than others. There is no physical requirement for crossing, as long as you can find the empty door, anyone can cross the past, mother-in-law, crossing the yin and crossing are not the same. ”
Mo Jiu looked at his mother-in-law mischievously, don't think that we young people are so foolish, we also know some evil ways, Jiu'er said in his heart.
"Those who have passed through the yin will be able to help you find the empty door, and I will not cry when I am born." The mother-in-law said lightly, and shot back at Jiu'er silently, Mo Jiu shrugged, whatever she said, the old man was stubborn and cute.
The mother-in-law stood up and walked towards Xuanye, "I need to summon Sheng Zi and ask her what her unfulfilled wish is?" ”
Xuanye cooperated and stood in place without moving, the mother-in-law stretched out her hand and drew a talisman on the palm of Xuanye's hand, and kept muttering words that others could not understand, a white mist spread from Xuanye's palm, the white mist slowly spread to the surroundings and disappeared, and the mother-in-law turned around and sat on the bamboo rattan chair.
Mo Jiuzheng wondered where the soul summoned by his mother-in-law was, only to feel a chill on his back, Jiu'er turned around suddenly, and a woman came like a wisp of green smoke, two steps behind Jiu'er, the woman's eyes were dead white, and Jiu'er was so frightened that she quickly dodged a step sideways, this should be the yin of Xuanye's lover Sheng Zi in his previous life.
Mo Jiu stabilized his mind, stared at the past carefully, and saw Sheng Zi wearing a goose yellow coat, with a five-color single coat inside, holding a juniper fan, with long hair as smooth as a waterfall hanging straight down her head, although her face was pale and her eyes were dull, but it was difficult to hide her gorgeous color, and there was a clear strangulation mark on Sheng Zi's neck, she should have hanged herself or was strangled to death.
Sheng Zi walked straight towards Xuanye, his steps were light and tender.
Without the flow of the eyes of the living, the yin spirit can actually express his inner friendship with his body, the depth of love, and the sincerity of his actions.
Xuan Ye, who was standing opposite, unexpectedly raised his eyebrows and smiled, looking at Sheng Zi affectionately, with warmth in his eyes, and the previous fear was long gone.
Mo Jiu looked at her mother-in-law sitting on the rattan chair, her mother-in-law pursed her chapped lips, a trace of coolness spread from her mother-in-law's eyes, looking at Sheng Zi's gloom, her mother-in-law said lightly, "What long-cherished wish do you have to fulfill, why don't you delay reincarnation?" ”
Sheng Zi did not have any change in expression, looked at Xuan Ye and said mechanically, "Lang Jun left me without leaving a word, after Lang Jun left, I was forced to marry the martial arts son Ping Jingzheng, originally I also wanted to live in peace, but I knew that he had a habit of drinking, and liked to do unbearable things in front of domestic slaves...... I'm going to take Lang Jun back and avenge me......"
At this time, it was noon, when the yang energy was at its peak, the yin spirit could not resist such erosion, Sheng Zi said this, his figure gradually blurred, and finally disappeared in his mother-in-law's guest room.
Xuan Ye had already burst into tears, he didn't expect such a tragic encounter with his lover in his previous life, Xuan Ye wiped a handful of tears, looked at his mother-in-law, and said, "Mother-in-law, Sheng Zi will be fine, right?" She only appears in my dreams, she has never appeared in the sun, she will not ......" Xuan Ye lowered his head and choked up, he loved Shengzi, but the two of them had different paths and could not be together.
"Now are you willing to go to your previous life to fulfill your long-cherished wish for Sheng Zi?" The mother-in-law squinted at Xuanye.
Xuan Ye nodded, paused for a moment and said, "I'm going to accompany Sheng Zi in my previous life, and I must not let her marry that beast." But mother-in-law, how can I stop Sheng Zi from marrying that beast, she can't disobey her parents' orders. ”
The mother-in-law stood up, glanced at Mo Jiu, and said, "Well, she will go with you, and she will figure out a way for you." ”
Mo Jiu looked around, looking for the "she" in his mother-in-law's mouth, turned around, suddenly woke up, and said in surprise, "Mother-in-law, you won't be talking about me, right?" ”
The mother-in-law nodded affirmatively.
Jiu'er frowned, glanced at Xuanye, and said: "Why, it's her affair, why should I accompany him, and I'm not him?"
Looking at Shengzi's dress, she should be a young lady in ancient Japan, and Pingjing is a samurai, and when dealing with samurai, there is a danger of death at any time, so Jiu'er doesn't want to go.
The mother-in-law ignored Jiu'er's emotions, turned her face sideways and continued to look at Xuan Yedao, "Remember that your task is to prevent Sheng Zi from marrying Ping Jingzheng, and try not to have feelings for Sheng Zi again, so as to avoid being unable to get out and trapped in the previous life." ”
Xuan Ye nodded, turned around and smashed hard against the wall behind him, any man who hears that his woman is being spoiled by other men will behave like this, this is a man's shame, although he is amorous and timid, but he is still a man.
The mother-in-law shook her head helplessly, and said lightly to Jiu'er: "Now tell me what you are doing here?" ”
"It was my adoptive mother who asked me to come, and she said that the nine-character pattern on my palm is very special, so let your old man show me if there is anything special about me." Jiu'er said casually, his hands dangling at his sides, and from time to time he looked at Xuanye, who was in pain on the side.
"The word 'nine' represents your life experience."
"Background?" Jiu'er turned her head, her eyes shone brightly, it turned out that she was also a person with a background, she didn't expect it, "It won't be a big person, right?" Jiu'er walked up to her mother-in-law, squatted down and looked up at her mother-in-law, expecting an amazing mystery.
"Let's not talk about your life experience, let's talk about your dreams first, have you always dreamed of the same dreams lately?" The mother-in-law looked down at Jiu'er and asked.
Mo Jiu's eyes showed a look of surprise, how could her mother-in-law know this secret, Jiu'er never told others about this matter, since she was a child, the neighbors said that Mo Jiu was an alternative, "Force value" is outstanding, often "causing trouble", although Jiu'er is thin, but when it comes to fighting, none of the boys around her are her opponents, so it is not surprising that others think they are alternative, and the "nine" word with a clear palm, although the friends adore her, but adults don't like Jiu'er to play with their children, In order to avoid unnecessary discussions, Jiu'er never told others about her dream, and she didn't even know her adoptive parents.
Of course she was surprised that her mother-in-law knew the secret.
Jiu'er lowered her head and recalled the vast snowy area in her dream, as well as the inexplicable summoning: "Ah Ren, bring us back!"
She also had doubts, because Jiu'er had an inexplicable familiarity with that snowy region, although she was not called Ah Ren, but that call had made her uneasy. Jiu'er is a girl with big nerves, she forgot what to remember for three minutes, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to mention it today, it seems that the dream that appears many times, there is really a mystery behind it, Jiu'er looked at her mother-in-law with admiration, "Seal the bad karma of the past life, guide the way lost in the next life", it may not be just a false name.
"That is the place of your past life, and it holds many of your secrets." The mother-in-law said meaningfully.
"The land of the past life? Where is it? Where is there such a big snowy area? Mother-in-law, can you take me over to have a look? Jiu'er asked several questions in a row, the Ni Pao who was able to summon Xuan Ye's lover Yin Ling in his previous life was by no means an ordinary Ni Pao, and now Mo Jiu was looking forward to finding that place more than ever.
"You have three lifetimes of love that are not over, and you can't go there yet." The mother-in-law's eyes showed a look of love, and the distance between Jiu'er and her mother-in-law was shortened in an instant.
"Three lifetimes of love calamity? Will there be a handsome son who will go with me? Jiu'er became excited, Mo Jiu, who has been a nymphomaniac since he was a child, was of course willing to go through the love tribulation.
The mother-in-law smiled and nodded, and then said distressedly, "The most bitter thing in the world is the love calamity, you have to be mentally prepared for this." ”
"It's okay, mother-in-law, hurry up and cross me to my previous life." Jiu'er was a little impatient.
"You go to your previous life, and your mother-in-law also has something to ask you." Mother-in-law said.
Jiu'er stared at her mother-in-law with big eyes, and said in her heart: Could it be that her mother-in-law also has any long-cherished wishes in her past life?
"You go to your previous life, find a lame woman, and bring her back with a hair." The mother-in-law said lightly.
Jiu'er looked at her mother-in-law suspiciously, "Mother-in-law, although the hair is not a big object, but every hair hides a trace of the master's yin spirit, why do you old man collect other people's souls, does that lame woman have any special background?" ”
"You don't care about this, as long as you know that you can complete my mission and survive the tribulation of the three worlds, you can return to the snowy region and uncover the mystery of your origin, where someone has been waiting for you for tens of thousands of years." The mother-in-law explained.
"Who would be so infatuated that they can wait for me for tens of thousands of years and be my lover?" Jiu'er's eyes are ****, to have such a person who is infatuated with herself, how charming she is Mo Jiude.
"Yes, but not all. You go with Xuan Ye to fulfill Sheng Zi's long-cherished wish first, right? The mother-in-law said lightly.
The mystery of her own life experience, I believe that there is no one who does not want to know, Jiu'er can't wait to go to the snow region to see it immediately, she can't understand, since her lover is waiting for her in the snow region, why do she have to go through the three-life love tribulation, and who will go to the love tribulation? She's not a person who lives in the twilight, Jiu'er is obsessed.
"Protect the Pavilion." The mother-in-law said lightly.
"I protect him? Mother-in-law, do you want to be so partial, I'm a girl, he still needs my protection as a man? Jiu'er glared at Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye smiled helplessly, his hands were already bleeding from masochism.
The mother-in-law ordered the two to stand by the fire, closed their eyes, Ni Pao put on a sheep's horn hat, looked at the fire, chanted a spell, a strong yin wind rose from the fire, Jiu'er secretly squinted her eyes, the black mist on the fire pond rose, spread out to the entire space, a strong sense of oppression filled the entire room, how could it be such a scene? Aren't people crossing through the aurora around them, how did they get to Jiu'er here and it turned out to be gloomy?
The fog was thick, and she couldn't see her mother-in-law anymore, Jiu'er suddenly remembered something important when her eyes widened, and shouted loudly, "Mother-in-law, how can I contact you after completing the task?" ”
"Don't contact me."
"And how are we going to get back?"
"In the vast past life, let's do it for ourselves."
"What?! Mother-in-law, you won't leave us alone in your previous life, will you? Jiu'er was a little flustered, if there was really no one to answer, he would definitely be trapped in his previous life as a mortal, didn't he say that he was in love with the third life, how could he come back, what a Ni Pao, this is too irresponsible.
"By the way, I can't determine the specific location of Sheng Zi, I can only bring you to a general range, and the future will depend on you!"
God, this is not only an irresponsible Nippao, but also an unreliable Nipake! Jiu'er complained again and again, the yin wind around her was blowing more and more urgently, Mo Jiu only heard a plop, Xuan Ye fainted, I don't know if he was frightened by his mother-in-law's words, or because of the gloomy cold wind in his ears.
The rapid rotation was reversed repeatedly, and the space-time tunnel finally opened, and Jiu'er had a splitting headache and soon lost consciousness.
