343 Night in the Mountain Market: Ingredients
When He Jiaqi woke up in the morning, he saw an overwhelming number of advertisements for the so-called "Millennium Eclipse" in text messages and WeChat.
It is said that today is the day of a once-in-a-millennium solar eclipse, but for her, she doesn't have much time to care about it.
After her parents died in a car accident three years ago, she had to live alone.
According to the will they wrote before their death, all the inheritance of her parents was given to her younger brother, who is now studying abroad and needs her to work hard to support him.
While He Jiaqi was going to school, he had to use all the remaining time to save for his younger brother's living expenses, and he was so busy that he was dizzy.
This is all to blame for the fact that the parents who are obviously working-class but extremely patriarchal insist on doting on their younger brother, not only wrote the house to his younger brother's name early, but also smashed the pot and sold iron to do everything for his younger brother to study abroad, but she had to give up the college she had been admitted to and went to a local ordinary college, in order to save the cost of schooling, all for the purpose of supporting her younger brother.
But the younger brother doesn't know what he's doing overseas, the monthly expenses are amazing, and now the savings of his parents are about to bottom out, although He Jiaqi works hard, he still can't fill the bottomless pit of his younger brother.
The phone calls urging her to make money kept coming.
On the other hand, she was also harassed by the campus gangsters, a bully young master surnamed Xiao fell in love with the good-looking He Jiaqi, and kept stretching out his groping hand to her, and the teacher with a sense of justice came out to administer justice and was also seriously injured by the other party, and now she is still lying in the hospital, because the bully's family is powerful, she is even desperate now.
So she had to stop her schoolwork and hide for the time being.
Even so, in order to make money, she still has to go to work.
Her new job was as a waitress at a restaurant, and in order to save money, she had to leave her home early and walk a long way to get to her place of work.
However, not long after she went out, she found that she was being followed, and the person who followed her was the Xiao Shao who had a pathological interest in her!
She just slapped that bastard in anger because she was handheld by Xiao Shaoxian in the classroom, and since then this pervert has been pestering her and vowing to tame her!
She didn't know what the so-called "taming" meant, but she knew that once it fell into Xiao Shao's hands, she would definitely be worse off than dead!
Seeing that Xiao Shao was driving his sky-high motorcycle closer and closer, He Jiaqi began to run desperately.
I don't know if it's because of the eclipse, or if it's cloudy, the sky is extremely dark, and the street lights are flickering, causing the road ahead to look dark and confused, and the silent street is only the sound of motorcycle engines, and there is not even a third passerby.
Even if He Jiaqi ran hard, she was still no match for the speed of the motorcycle, and when the motorcycle overtook her in an instant, she felt that the back of her head was hit by a heavy object, and then she fell to the ground.
Her strength was lost in an instant.
She could even feel her consciousness detaching from her body, blood pouring out of the back of her deformed head, and her brain cracking.
Xiao Shao, who was wearing a helmet, got out of the car and came to her to take off his helmet, only to see him carrying a metal baseball bat and spitting a few mouthfuls of water on her corpse. And kicked her hard a few times.
"Dog X! Meet people! Lao Tzu is just unhappy, you dare to beat Lao Tzu! From childhood to adulthood, the king of heaven did not dare to touch a single hair of Lao Tzu! Do you really think Lao Tzu has a crush on you! Lao Tzu finally let out a bad breath! Hahahahahahaha! He laughed maniacally.
My life ended like this.
He Jiaqi shouted weakly with the last trace of consciousness, but no one could hear it......
However, she did not completely "die" after all.
When she opened her eyes again, she was greeted by the ceiling of an ancient room.
A noisy and boisterous sound rang out at the same time as the shoes thrown at her face—
"Dead girl! Slacker! What else to sleep on! Why don't you hurry up and freshen up! Today is your sister's big day! A fat and vicious middle-aged woman scolded her and forcibly ripped her off the bed.
He Jiaqi couldn't figure out what was going on. She could only get dressed as the woman said, but her clothes turned out to be the kind at the end of the Qing Dynasty! It looks like a woman wearing it!
At this time, looking at the surrounding situation, the ancient buildings, the ancient rooms, and the ancient clothes, she suddenly understood!!
Myself!!!
Wear! Exceed! Finish! Time! Empty!
Just like she saw in it!!
And she has crossed over to become a girl who is about to get married!
"You slacker! How clumsy! Ah! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! Kami! Kami! My good daughter! Hurry up and get dressed! The Xiao family's kissing team is coming soon! The fat woman finished scolding He Jiaqi, and suddenly left in a hurry.
However, within a few minutes, the shocking cry of an obese woman came from the opposite room. He Jiaqi, who was confused, hurriedly went over to check, only to see that in the boudoir on the other side of the hall, a young woman was actually hanging on the beam! The cantilever committed suicide!
"Kami! Kami! How do you say hang yourself and hang yourself! Woowoowoo...... Mother just didn't let you be with that poor boy, and found you a good family, why can't you think about it like this~~~ Now the Xiao family's welcoming team is coming soon, how can you call your mother to live! The obese woman kept crying for her daughter, but she couldn't hear much sadness, but she was worried about offending the "Xiao family".
At this time, she suddenly caught a glimpse of He Jiaqi standing at the door, and pointed at her and said, "You! Hurry up! Put Kami down! You put on her wedding dress! Just say you're Kami! Or I'll tear your face apart! If you enter the Xiao family and say that you leak your mouth, your life will be gone! You know what!
Hurry up! Hurry up and get dressed instead of Kami! ”
It turned out that she actually asked He Jiaqi to marry instead of the dead lady!
This is exactly the same plot as in the bloody romance, which made He Jiaqi stunned!
Oh my God, is this shit luck!
Myself...... It's really going to start a ...... Ancient Adventure?!
In short, I don't know where the fat woman hid Jiamei's body, He Jiaqi hurriedly put on a complicated ancient style wedding dress, but she really didn't know how to comb her hair, so she could only casually put on a red hijab and wait there.
Who exactly is she going to marry?
What era is it now? Which emperor of the Qing Dynasty reigned?
Soon, the obese woman opened her courtyard door and asked relatives and friends to come over to congratulate her, He Jiaqi heard the discussion of the seven aunts and eight aunts in the back room, saying what "it is a good blessing to marry the Xiao family" and "It's a pity that she married the crippled thirteen young men" and other words. Her heart sank more and more.
As an ordinary modern person, she has traveled to the past, but she is a powerless little woman, what can she do?
——————————
As soon as night fell, the Gu Star emitted an ominous red fluorescence, causing the entire town to be shrouded in a demonic blood-red light.
The white-boned giant raised his arms and continued to pound the roof of the ancestral hall as if he were driving piles.
Finally, after two hours of continuous beating, the roof of the ancestral hall completely submerged under the ground, and it finally stopped moving.
But the noise didn't end, it just came out in a different way. Because, a huge stone palace actually slowly rose from the ground in the far reaches of the town!
That ancestral hall turned out to be a kind of "switch button"!
The stone palace is extremely simple, like an ancestral hall enlarged countless times, decorated with many huge stone columns, and at first glance it looks a bit like an ancient Roman building.
And this palace hidden deep underground is the so-called "Hades Temple"!
As the temple rose, the brilliance of the Gu Star became even more dazzling, and the light burst out from the gap of the Gu Star, as if something was being conceived inside, and the light was like the sound of a person's heartbeat, flickering rhythmically.
Xiao Nan looked at this spectacle and said, "The so-called Gu King is a super Gu that is bred by all Gu Gu and gathers the abilities of all Gu. And the one who leads all this, the one who deploys all the Gu, is the Gu queen. ”
Miao Feng said: "You're right, I can see that ghost girl standing on top of the brain Gu now." ”
"It's not accurate to say she's a girl, she's the size of an adult woman now, and her belly button and umbilical cord are connected to the huge orb." Wanyue said.
“…… It seems that there is really something inside the Gu Star, and the Gu Mother is already connected to it. Xiao Nan said, "And that palace is prepared to welcome the Gu King who is about to be born." But what is in the palace? ”
"Maybe it's like other birds, beasts, and insects, maybe there's something in the palace that is enough to replenish the nutrients of the newborn young Gu." Miao Feng said.
"A lot of leyline power?" Xiao Nan said, "That's why the power of the leylines will deplete so quickly during this time period, and it is not entirely due to human overexploitation. ”
"I don't think so, because the power of the leylines contains the power of Fuxi, and the power of Fuxi is a kind of poison to Gu, and the things in the temple are not necessarily the power of the leylines."
"What could it be...... Unless......" Xiao Nan's eyes suddenly widened as he thought of another possibility.
can make Gu quickly replenish nutrients, only-
The living energy of the human body!
That is, spirit!
This is also the reason why a large number of human beings are concentrated by Gu!
Gu must have mastered some kind of technique to store fleeting spirits!
Sure enough, while this "gestation" ritual was going on, the sound of some kind of creature was heard in the temple.
A huge white Gu worm slowly crawled out of the temple, its size was large enough to fill a temple as tall as an entire mountain, and it emitted a fierce white light.
From the outside, the pure white Gu worm is no different from the silkworm, but it seems to be a light energy wrapped in only a layer of skin, and the light emitted is so dazzling.
"There are also species of Gu worms that have evolved into the form of storing human spirits, and it may have given up all other abilities of Gu and only evolved reserve abilities, which were hidden deep underground and used to store the essence seized by Gu worms for thousands of years. It's like the 'battery' of the Gu insect swarm. Xiao Nan said, "It seems that it is the 'ingredient' after the birth of the Gu King." ”
Unable to collapse, he could only lean on the armrest of his wheelchair to speak.
"I don't know how long this will last, so you can rest for a while." Miao Feng said.
"Yes, Thirteen Shao, your body is still very weak." Wanyue said.
Xiao Nan knew that he was not in a good state now, so he could only nod and let them carry him back to the sleeper.
——————
Xiao Cheng.
Recently, Xiao Cheng has another big news.
The eldest master didn't know when he returned to the Xiao family, and there was news that he was going to retire and recuperate. And before he retired, in order to be happy, he ordered that young women of marriageable age be selected in the whole city, and that all his children should be married, regardless of whether the heirs were married before or not, even if they already had a main house, they should take new concubines.
For some, this is an opportunity. Others see it as a disaster.
Because he entered the backyard of the Xiao family, he followed up with the palace, the fortunes and misfortunes were unpredictable, the mix was good, and the whole family was developed. If you don't mix well, you will lose your head in minutes.
Therefore, this wedding is as grand as the folk concubine election.
The He family, which has long since declined, now only has one stepmother with two daughters left, and this stepmother is obsessed, so she naturally wants her daughter to enter the Xiao family to improve her status and bring benefits, so she registered both daughters.
Because one of her two daughters was born to her deceased husband and ex-wife, and the other was born to herself, she hoped that it would be her daughter Jiamei who married into the Xiao family.
Unexpectedly, this time the choice of relatives does not look at the family background, only the quality of the woman, her daughter was selected if she died well, she was overjoyed, and Jiamei, who had already made a private agreement with her lover for life, hanged herself in a fit of anger.
So there is the opening scene.
He Jiaqi, whose consciousness traveled to the Republic of China era, was really "possessed" by a woman with the same name and surname, and as a substitute for Jiamei, he was picked up by the sedan chair sent by the Xiao family.
And the object she was promised to be rationed was Xiao Nan, a thirteen young man who was still "on a business trip" in other places.
For He Jiaqi, she feels that she has simply become the heroine of the time-travel, about to enter a wealthy family, and even has recalled all the plots she has seen in her heart, and is ready to be a qualified "time-traveler" with trepidation, and shine in her new life.
However, she didn't know that what was waiting for her would be the Xiao family's mansion like a demon cave.
