Chapter 118: Changing Grass (2)
The dilapidated mountain temple stood alone in the drizzle, and on the winding mountain road, a man in a lichen robe was trying to climb up. The trail was slippery, and the man's body shook with every step.
Finally, climbing to the top of the mountain, a hand poked out from under the coat. That hand was as white as snow, but there were a few hideous scars on the back of the hand.
With a "squeak", the dilapidated wooden door was slowly pushed open by the hand. A ray of light shone through the crack in the open door. The mountain god sat quietly on the altar, his eyes looking straight ahead, as if he was enjoying the scenery outside.
The man in the cloak blocked out the light, bowed his head and walked in through the broken wooden door, then raised his head.
It was a very strange face. The face is large, but the eyes are small, and the distance between the eyes is too wide, so it always feels like the two eyes are placed at random. The middle of the nose is long, but the lips are wide and thick. In short, this is a strange and somewhat ugly face that makes people look at it impressively, but definitely will not look at it again.
"It is said that people were made by Nuwa Niangniang. Those good-looking ones were pinched out one by one by the mother's own hands. Those average-looking ones were thrown out of rattan by the mother after losing her patience. I guess that someone as ugly as me was accidentally thrown off by my mother. Maybe it fell into that mud puddle, that's why it was like this. ”
The man was dressed in a robe, kneeling in front of the mountain god, chattering. The water dripped down from the coat and seeped into the trouser leg little by little. The trouser leg was already wet from the rain, and there was no change at this time.
"I heard that the lord of the mountain temple here is the most effective. I came with all my heart, just asking for a different face. Don't worry, Lord Mountain God, I don't ask for much, I just want to change a more ordinary face that can see the past. It's not easy for my father and mother to give birth to me and raise me, and I really can't bear to watch them worry every day. It's not that I didn't want to die, but if I did, what would my father and mother do?
Lord of the mountain god, the believer sincerely pleaded. If she could change her face, the believer would be willing to pay it back with all she had. ”
He folded his hands, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.
Behind the statue of the mountain god, half of his head poked out. Like a fox is not a fox, like a wolf is not a wolf.
"Please have mercy on the mountain god!"
The mountain god who was originally looking straight ahead, suddenly his eyes lit up, and then a trace of evil light was revealed.
"Are you really willing to trade everything you have?"
"Yes!"
"Then tell me, what do you have, and what are you willing to give?"
"This ...... If you go back to the mountain god master, the believer really doesn't know what she has, and what she should give to the mountain god master. ”
"It's okay if you don't know, you can give it back in the future."
"Really?"
The clothed woman raised her head, and her gaze quickly swept over the face of the mountain god. I knew that something was wrong, so I quickly fell to the ground again.
"You signed this blood pact first. Once signed, I'll give you a makeover. As for what you have to give, I will ask you for it in the future. It's just that if this blood contract is signed, you can't regret it, you have to think clearly, think clearly, think carefully. ”
A piece of paper floated down from the altar, but it was blank.
"This Blood Pact ......"
"Any questions?"
"I didn't ...... No. The girl in the cloth replied with trepidation: "It's just that the believer doesn't know how to sign this blood contract." ”
"The blood pact, the blood pact, of course, is to make a covenant with your own blood. How to sign, don't you know? ”
The clothed woman gritted her teeth, picked up a broken tile from the ground, and slashed it hard at her palm. Blood flowed down in an instant. She pursed her lips and smeared the blood all over the palm of her right hand, then pressed it against the white paper.
The white paper with the blood-colored handprints floated up again, and finally landed on the altar of the mountain god.
"Let's go back. Get a good night's sleep and wake up tomorrow and you'll see what you want to see. ”
"Thank you, Lord Mountain God!"
The clothed woman kowtowed heavily, got up, bent over, and slowly retreated from the mountain temple.
At the foot of the mountain, a horse-drawn carriage moved slowly. At this time, if anyone saw the carriage, it was bound to stop and look twice. For there was no one in this carriage.
From the outside, it was just an ordinary carriage, except for the people who didn't drive, everything else looked extremely ordinary, and even the canopy was a low-key dark cyan. But inside the carriage, there is a special cave, not only spacious and comfortable, but also a lot of things for daily use.
At this time, Xing Ruyi was half-curled up and sleeping soundly. A thick blanket wrapped her tightly from head to toe. The fox sat next to him, closed his eyes and recuperated, only occasionally moving his ears to judge whether Xing Ruyi was sleeping soundly.
There was also an incense burn in the carriage. This incense was brought back by him from Qingqiu, which can not only calm the nerves and help sleep, but also have the effect of protecting the fetus and keeping the fetus safe.
Suddenly, the carriage took a jolt. The fox opened his eyes instantly, and his hand subconsciously wrapped around Xing Ruyi's waist.
Xing Ruyi turned over and asked in a daze: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, it's probably a difficult mountain road, I'll go out and have a look."
"If you can't do it, let's change into a coachman. Anyway, there are small animals in this mountain, and it is enough to catch one at random. ”
Xing Ruyi rubbed his eyes and sat up. The blanket fell to her waist as she moved. She first stretched, and then yawned heavily: "I just dreamed, I dreamed of a temple, and I don't know what this dream suggests." ”
"It's just an ordinary dream, what can it imply?"
"I heard that this woman will have fetal dreams during pregnancy. For example, if you dream of a dragon, a snake, or something like you, you will give birth to a boy. If you dream of a rainbow or a flower, you will give birth to a beautiful girl. I wondered, should I give birth to a monk? ”
"Monk?" The fox's face instantly darkened.
The sentence was like an opinion, and he hurriedly smiled and threw himself into the fox arms: "It's wrong, it's wrong, I'm wrong." I mean, my child must not have been reincarnated by some enlightened monk to come down to the earth to purify all sentient beings. ”
"No!"
"Naturally not, even if you want to be reincarnated, it is the reincarnation of the fox fairy." Xing Ruyi looked at the fox flatteringly: "Didn't you just say that you wanted to go out and have a look?" Hurry up and take a look, if it's okay, we can also get on the road as soon as possible. ”
"Don't think about it anymore." The fox pinched Ruyi's face: "There is a saying among mortals, which is called thinking during the day and dreaming at night. ”
Xing Ruyi stuck out his tongue and said, "But I'm not dreaming at night, I'm daydreaming." In short, I was wrong, please let the fox go, okay? ”
The fox shook his head and pointed to the curtain. The curtain rolled up, and a cool breeze mixed with rain drifted in. Xing Ruyi immediately looked up and looked out, only to see the carriage parked by a lake, and the drizzle on the lake formed a layer of mist miasma.
"Although it is a mountain road, it is also an official road, and it doesn't look like there is something on this road." Xing Ruyi moved forward: "Could it be that there is something in this lake?" ”
"Sit down, I'll go down and see."
"Be careful." Xing Ruyi took the fox's hand: "The mountains overlap here, and it is easiest to hide things." This carriage, although you conjured it up, also brought some of your aura. Stopping at this time, it was stopped by such a lake, presumably sensing something. ”
"It's nothing more than some mountain monsters and lake monsters." The fox shook Xing Ruyi's hand back: "And they are all not long-eyed." ”
"That's what the husband said. If you dare to choose to come out at this time, you must not be long-sighted. It's just that you and I are in a hurry, more things are better than less things, these things, although they don't have great ability, are the best at messing around. If you make a move, just teach it a lesson. ”
The fox nodded, stooped and got out of the carriage.
Xing Ruyi waited for a long time, but he didn't see the fox come back. Although he knew that his husband was very skilled, ordinary mountain spirits and wild monsters couldn't help him at all. But the fox is simple, if you encounter that kind of complicated mind, it is inevitable that you will not be fooled and fall into the trap of the other party.
Pushing the blanket aside, he hurriedly put on his shoes and stepped out of the carriage.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw the fox standing by the lake not far away, motionless, as if he had been frozen by something.
"Yin Chensi!"
Xing Ruyi anxiously called out the fox's name.
The fox looked back, looked at the execution, and then a change came to her. When he reappeared, he had an extra umbrella in his hand, which just covered both of them.
"Didn't you say you were told to wait in the car?"
"I'm worried about you. I went for so long and didn't come back, and I thought you were hooked by the spirits in this lake. ”
"Who else in this world has such ability but you to hook my soul."
The biggest advantage of the fox is that it is not stingy with love words, and this love words always come when the mouth is opened. The biggest disadvantage is that he doesn't consciously say love words, and he doesn't feel that he is sensational, so these love words seem a little serious, which makes people listen to them, and they are a little weird.
Fortunately, the fox only talks a lot in front of her, and when she comes to others, she is a sullen fox who doesn't like words, and even stingy with more words.
"Why are you standing there motionless if you didn't meet a beautiful lake monster?"
"A corpse."
"What?"
"There's a corpse by the lake, and it's still naked. Face down, sunken in the lake. Judging from the figure, it should be a woman. ”
"You mean, you're fascinated by the naked corpses of women?" Xing Ruyi narrowed her eyes, "Is the female corpse in good shape?" ”
"Whether it's good or bad, I don't know."
The fox replied truthfully. The only woman he had seen without clothes was Xing Ruyi, and he had no idea about the good or bad figure in Xing Ruyi's mouth. He only knew that his wife was the most comfortable to hold, neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, and it felt good.
"I don't know if it's good or not, you've been staring at it for most of the day." Xing Ruyi tiptoed and pinched the fox's ears: "If this is good, won't you watch it and not leave." ”
"Not what you think."
"So what's that like?" Xing Ruyi was angry, and he would never admit that he was eating.
"There's something strange about that corpse." The fox looked into Xing Ruyi's eyes and explained, "Although the body is white, it has a light green glow. Also, the face of the female corpse is gone! ”
