Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 28: This hatred lingers
"Why, do you have to ...... when the Yang Qi of the Dragon Boat Festival is so heavy"
After running for a while, the two stopped to breathe. Dai Luan coughed dryly twice and asked such a question.
"Isn't it, the nonsense they said angered the female ghost" Mu Wan also adjusted her breathing, "Besides, she is afraid that she will want Bai Gu to be killed, so she will not allow them to move out." ”
“…… So, a type of Earthbound Spirit? Out of the scope of her death, you can't control it, right? ”
Dai Luan said this suddenly, and she seemed to remember something. Mu Wan nodded slightly, pulled her, and hurried again.
"Wait, I got it! A way to save the mountains and seas! ”
"What?"
"I figured it out, the branch doesn't actually refer to the position of the reverse pillar, it's the root of the branch!"
"Roots?" Mu Wan didn't understand much.
"The tree that Songyun girl crashed into and died in the courtyard is the body of the reverse pillar, that is, the human-faced tree. Remember the boy called the pillar in Huansha City? The karmic ghost, although he was turned away, entered the house because of a part of his demonic energy. I think it's the same thing with this human face tree. And the point of the root of the branch is where the original tree grows. ”
Mu Wan clapped his hands: "If you find it, you can control that powerful ghost...... And the courtyard shrank again because of the land dispute. Other words...... One of the tree stumps on the street was from the old days...... But that's too much? ”
"I ...... I know which one. ”
The mountain and sea pulled the peachwood sword out of its sheath, and the wooden sword that had been soaked in calamus water overnight was no longer afraid of the power of this demon fire. Wielding his sword, he easily cut through the flames, but he couldn't eliminate them at the root. The other three people were curled up together like rats, crying and crying, and it was annoying to listen to.
"Songyun girl! If you have any resentment, just say it! If they annoy you with their nonsense, tell me the truth! ”
Shan Hai's right hand clutched the hilt of the sword, and his left hand raised two fingers against the sword. Through the horizontal peachwood sword, less than a zhang away, he could feel an invisible wave of qi, which was striking outside the door again and again. When he said this, he had no bottom in his heart, after all, if she really turned into a ghost, then she would not have the mind of a normal person, and she would only think about revenge.
The force became the knock of a man at the door again, very fast, loud, urging him to hand him over.
"Finally, I ask you," Shanhai turned around, "Who will tell you the truth!" ”
Kashiwaya's wife tried hard to burrow into her husband's arms, but he pushed her away again. His complexion still had the characteristic woodenness, and his movements were very stiff. He pointed to Kashiwa's wife and said:
"It's her! It's all her idea! ”
"Me? Do you blame me? Kashiwaya's wife's sharp voice was very harsh, "Blame me now, didn't you support it at the beginning!" It's still the mess your own mother cleaned up for you! ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady felt as if she had been pricked with a needle. She slapped her daughter-in-law in the face and cursed:
"Phew! Shame on the face! It's a shame that you still dare to call me Mom, without me, you still don't know where to live a poor life! ”
"That's better than dying here!"
At such a time, they actually quarreled, and Shanhai frowned. Although this sword can ward off evil spirits, it is not necessarily powerful enough to kill ghosts. As a last resort, he may have to use the method of self-destruction to suppress it.
When he focused his attention on the door again, he noticed that the charm that had blocked the door was glowing a faint red light along the crack in the door, as if something had burned them out. Shan Hai thought to himself that something was wrong, and then he was swept into the sea of fire by the wind that broke through the door.
The burning and pain that should have been felt did not come.
Shanhai opened his eyes, and at some point, he found himself in a different scene. He tried to raise the sword in his right hand, but found that he couldn't move, just like the ghost press, and even the rhythm of the blink was out of his control.
At first, he was a little flustered about losing control of his body, but he quickly calmed down. Because, the mountains and seas found that the scene in front of them seemed to be the Kashiwaku family courtyard in the daytime.
At that time, their house was still very large, not like now, and it always felt cramped.
He saw that there were many family members in the courtyard who were busy working, and there were many fresh faces. Everyone saw him and greeted him.
"Madame Gui'an."
Shanhai understood. What he saw at the moment was exactly what he saw as Miss Songyun's identity.
Perhaps, that's what the demon wanted to tell him.
It was a normal day. There are many people in the courtyard, but the real Bai Gu family is only her and the old lady. The family members are busy before and after, and their hands are arranged. Through these eyes, the mountains and seas saw that mugwort leaves and calamus were hanging everywhere in this courtyard. It seems that this day is also the Dragon Boat Festival.
Miss Songyun walked around the yard, looked at the flowers, chatted with the little maids, and spent an ordinary morning.
At that time, the old lady didn't seem to be as old as she is now—but it was only a matter of a few years, and her hair was much grayer now. When I saw her, her expression was cold. Miss Songyun came into the house to greet her, but she didn't speak. After a while, the young Kashiwatani wife also came in. She was not much different then than she is now.
When the old lady saw her, she suddenly laughed, and the two of them asked for warmth and chatted about homely things. Shan Hai stood beside him, and faintly felt that the owner of this body sighed. Then she made a gesture and left the old lady's house.
After the meal, Miss Songyun stayed alone in the house. Just looking at the sunlight pouring in from the window, I read a book in my hand. The book didn't seem to be interesting, he couldn't read the words on it. Perhaps, the owner of the book did not want to read it.
At this time, the young and beautiful Kashiwaya wife knocked on the door and came in.
She smiled and held a plate of pastries, saying that the old lady had rewarded her. She also brought tea and said that she wanted to have a good chat with her sister.
"What is there to talk about. What a boring person I am, you're here to waste time. Miss Songyun said.
"Why did my sister say that," her eyes widened, "you and I are all family, so why bother to see each other like this." ”
"The family ......," Songyun muttered, "the family has never been reunited." ”
"Sister, but you're talking about the young master?" She blinked, "In order to earn more money to support this big family, the young master naturally has to work extra hard to support his family." Oh, just like this plate of mung bean cake, if it weren't for the fact that he was still busy outside during the Dragon Boat Festival, we might not be able to eat it. Sister, you can taste one. ”
Yamakai felt that the owner of these eyes had wandered between the mung bean cake and Kashiwatani's wife many times, as if he had doubts. There was also a voice in her heart that told her that the concubine, who usually ignores her, why did she become so talkative today? Kashiwaku's wife poured two cups of tea, held one of them in front of her, and when she saw that she did not eat the pastry, she said jokingly:
"Is my sister afraid that I will poison it?"
“……”
The green pastry is indeed exquisitely made. And because of the morning's incident, Miss Songyun was in a bad mood, and she didn't eat a few bites of lunch, and now she really feels a little hungry when she looks at it. In order to dispel her suspicions, Kashiwaku's wife picked up a mung bean cake and said to her:
"Then sister, I'll be rude first and try a poison for you."
Miss Songyun watched her chew it and swallowed it carefully, then slowly picked up a bean cake next to her and put it in her mouth. The bean paste is very fine and has a moderate sweetness, and it is indeed an expensive dim sum. She swallowed a little anxiously, and took another big sip of tea and rushed down, and Bai Gu's wife hurriedly continued.
So, Miss Songyun didn't seem to be so alert, slowly let go of her doubts, and chatted with the young Baigu wife without a word, which was nothing more than a parent's shortcomings.
After chatting for a while, she felt a little burning in her stomach, and she didn't know if she had eaten it. She gently hammered her chest, and the burning sensation of fire was even more obvious. After a while, a sharp pain came up from her stomach, and she felt a little sick to her stomach, and she took a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and suddenly coughed up something. I looked at the handkerchief, and there was a cloud of bright red blood blooming on it.
"You ......" she held out her hand tremblingly, pointing at the person opposite. Kashiwatani suddenly stood up and took a step back.
Miss Songyun felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, and she fell out of her chair and crawled over to Kashiwaku's wife. Kashiwaku's wife retreated again and again, hid in the doorway, and mocked condescendingly:
"Naturally, this snack is very expensive, and I can't learn it, let alone poison it. But when did you see me drink that sip of tea? ”
"Slut!"
Girl Songyun screamed and tugged at the hem of her dress, and she kicked her away with a few vicious kicks in the face. She ran out the door, and Miss Songyun chased after her with difficulty. She climbed hard, concentrating all her strength on her arms. The pain in his stomach was still like a fire, and Shan Hai clearly felt the same pain.
At the same time, there was the resentment and swearing that came to his lips. However, her vision gradually blurred, and she was about to lose her ability to crawl.
Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and even though she was trying very hard, she slowly closed them.
In a trance, she heard the young master's voice.
"This ...... You, is this done? ”
"Nonsense, what do you say that can't be done? Tell you to come back later, why did you run back so early. Forget it, come and help me drag her out. ”
"What do we say, what do we say......"
"Slowly, you're still not a gentleman? I've already said hello to my mother. Anyway, it's your eldest brother's wife, she hasn't looked at it well......"
The living heart became sluggish, and it beat more and more slowly. In its place, there is extreme unwillingness and hatred. The last thing Shanhai felt was that after hearing the young master's voice, the fingertips stuffed with mud and sand trembled slightly, and he stopped moving.
He struggled, trying to open his eyes, and found himself back in the fire. It's like a dream, but it fits seamlessly with reality.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a charred corpse in addition to the red that greeted him.
The corpse had become a mass of charcoal, unrecognizable, as if it had been burned for a long time. But judging from the extent of the damage to the surrounding furniture and the fire, his dream was only a momentary thing.
If you look at it again, there are also the old lady who passed out and didn't move, and the young master who walked like a corpse with a dull gaze. He waved his hand in front of his eyes, unresponsive, perhaps stupefied.
Quadruple ...... No, the three were surrounded by raging fire. The endless wind that poured into the open door made it burn more and more. Now, everyone is going to be explained here.
