"Who are they referring to?"

The woman was stunned at first, then shook her head: "I don't know, I just know that they are them." ”

"How could you not know?" Xing Ruyi asked in wonder, "Did you forget, or did you not want to say it." ”

"Just some sounds." The woman spoke again: "It's really just some voices. ”

"Voice?"

"Hmmm! The man's voice is different. From the woman's pale face, Xing Ruyi actually saw a trace of shyness: "I know that my father and mother are troubled by my relatives, although I don't say it, but I feel uncomfortable, and I always can't sleep well at night." Later, I started hearing those voices. Sometimes awake, sometimes asleep. At first, I wondered if I was overthinking and had auditory hallucinations. But it wasn't until they said those two names that I was sure that I wasn't sick and that I was favored by God. ”

"Two names?" Xing Ruyi followed up and asked again: "Is it the name of the two people who disappeared?" ”

"Yes!"

"Why do you believe that voice when you know that those two people are missing, aren't you afraid that you will be the same as the two people who disappeared?"

"What am I afraid of?" The woman pointed to her face: "How much better is it to live like me than to die?" Besides, they told me that the two men were not missing, but had changed their faces, so they didn't know each other. I'm not without hesitation, but I just look at my dad and mother like that every day, and I'd rather take a risk. ”

"So, you went to the Mountain Temple?"

"Hmm!" The woman nodded: "It was those voices that told me to go." ”

"What's in the Mountain Temple?"

"Naturally, it's the mountain god master!" The woman raised her head and looked at Xing Ruyi with slightly puzzled eyes: "Madame has never been to the Mountain Temple?" ”

"I've been there, but I've never been to such a magical mountain temple that can help people change their faces."

"It's just a very broken mountain temple, according to the identity of the lady, I'm afraid that if I see it, I will go around."

"Very broken mountain temple?"

"It's very shabby, like no one has been there for years, it's in tatters everywhere. Even the clothes of the mountain god have become pieces of rotten cloth. I still remember the feeling I felt when I was at the gate of the mountain temple. I felt as if I was being teased by those voices. I thought about going down the mountain immediately. But he was a little unwilling, so he pushed open the tattered door and knelt in front of the mountain god. ”

"A miracle happened?"

"Yes! I heard the mountain god talking to me, and he granted my request. ”

"Such a good mountain god master, it seems that I have to beg for it."

"What does Madame want to ask for?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but everyone has desires, and I always have things I want but can't get. Since the mountain god lord in your mouth is so powerful, I think it doesn't matter if I ask for it. ”

The woman shook her head several times in a row: "How can there be anything in this world that can be obtained for no reason, and besides, I still ask the gods for it." ”

What do you mean by that? Could it be that the old man of the mountain god asked you for something to go over. ”

"It's a contract."

"What's written on it?"

"Blank."

"Blank?"

"It's blank, not a word."

"You dare to sign a wordless contract?"

The woman smiled bitterly: "Why don't you dare?" I thought at the time, as long as the mountain god can help me change my face, don't say that just let me sign something, it is my life, and I will give it too. Besides, I was illiterate. Even if there were words on the contract, I didn't know it. ”

"What happens after signing the contract? Did you really change your face? ”

"I don't remember."

"Don't remember?"

"I only remember that I put my handprint on the contract given by the mountain god, and then left the mountain temple according to the mountain god's instructions. It was raining heavily that day, and the mountain road was slippery, and then I accidentally slipped down the mountain. ”

The woman stroked her face.

"But I remember vividly that as I slid there, I saw myself through the standing water on the ground. My face has changed, it really has changed, although it is not as good-looking as Madame, but at least it is not scary, and it is no longer the monster in the eyes of others. I thought to myself, I must go back, go back and let my father and mother see what I look like now. I thought that my father and mother would never have to worry about my relatives in the future. I can't remember anything after that. When I woke up again, I was already here, and I saw you, Madame. ”

"Illusion." The fox spat out two words.

"What the husband means is that she fell for the old man of the mountain god."

"Even if they are immortals, how can they make these transactions with mortals, and besides, the duty of the mountain gods is only to protect the safety of the mountains and forests, I didn't know that they still have the ability to change people's faces. Even if there is, it is nothing more than an illusion, a trick used to deceive people. ”

"The husband suspects that the person who lives in the mountain temple is not the mountain god master at all, right?"

"Immortals are also cultivated by people, even if they become gods, they will still have people's seven emotions and six desires, even if it is just a little bit. Therefore, immortals also have high and low dignity, as well as greed and evil thoughts. If it is really desireless and desireless, why should it be divided into gods and minor gods.

There is only one mountain god master, but the mountain temples are distributed all over the place, don't say that the mountain god is too busy, even if you want to go down to the mortal crossing, you will find a good incense, the temple is neat. A dilapidated mountain temple hidden in the mountains, even if the mountain god occasionally passes by, I am afraid that he will be like a lady, too lazy to take a look. ”

"Madame Ben is not as snobbish as you, if I pass by, I will really take a look. It's just that you won't go in. ”

"Madame, this is fifty meters and a hundred steps?"

"Wrong! I am precious to be sick and take responsibility for myself. It is a dilapidated mountain temple, and naturally there will be many damages, in the words of our hometown, this is a dilapidated house, and it is within the scope of forced demolition. Life is precious, and I naturally don't risk it on my own. But when you see it, you will always glance at it, which is the reaction of normal people. ”

"Madame seems to have some truth in what she said."

Xing Ruyi gave the fox a look that didn't bother to pay attention to you, and returned his gaze to the woman's soul: "Do you remember where the mountain temple is?" ”

The woman said a place. After hearing that place, Xing Ruyi and the fox unconsciously glanced at each other.

That place, they knew, was the lake they passed by when they came to Qiaojiazhuang, and there was a mountain forest on the other side of the lake, and the body of the fourth person missing in Qiaojiazhuang was found by the lake.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

The woman looked down and thought for a moment, looked at herself lying on the ground, and said, "Please find a place to bury me, Madame." ”

"This is natural."

"I beseech Madame, don't bring my body to my father's mother. My parents are old, and if they see me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it. Madame only said that I was gone, that is, if there was an afterlife, I would still be their daughter. Even if they are still born so ugly, even if they don't marry for the rest of their lives, I will stay by their side and serve them, and I will not ask them to send white-haired people to black-haired people again. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

"And ......" the woman pursed her lips, "Before I leave, I want to see my father and mother again." Even if it's just to look at them from afar, I want to kowtow to them before leaving. In this life, they have been burdened by me and have suffered a lot of white eyes from the world, and as a woman, I have not been able to serve them until I am old, and I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. ”

"Anything else?"

The woman shook her head: "No." ”

"Perhaps, I can do one more thing for you." Xing Ruyi said, glancing at the fox.

The fox nodded, walked over to the woman's spirit, and wiped her face with his hand. The woman looked at the man standing in front of her suspiciously, and through his clear pupils, she seemed to see a different version of herself.

"It's just an illusion, but I think it's good to go to the underworld like this." Xing Ruyi took out a mirror, "In the next life, are you willing to change into this?" ”

"This ......" the woman looked at herself in the mirror and was excited: "Is it really possible?" Can it really be? ”

"Really."

"Thank you, ma'am!" The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a row.

In the mirror, although she is not stunning, she is also upright. She was content, really content.

The fox summoned the onicha out and asked the onicha to take the woman home. As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with them already.

"Are we going to the Mountain Temple?"

"Not necessarily!"

"Not necessarily? Since I know that the source is in the mountain temple, if I don't go to take a look, I will meet the mountain god for a while, and I always feel a pity. Xing Ruyi touched his nose: "Four innocent lives, even if he has thousands of reasons, he shouldn't do this." ”

"I don't say no, not to excuse him, but he's right here."

"You mean ......"

"Follow me!" The fox said, and there was a teleportation with the punishment Ruyi.

"Isn't this where the old man of the Qiao family and the first lady live?"

"Shhhh See! ”

The fox pointed towards the main house, and Xing Ruyi saw that there was a layer of green light floating in the main house. The green light sounded familiar to her. Thinking about it again, the female corpse they met by the lake also had such a layer of green light floating on it. It's just that Xing Ruyi doesn't know what this green light is.

"What's that green light?"

"It's supposed to be a ghost, but it's a little different from what you and I have encountered before."

"Hell?" Xing Ruyi looked at the fox suspiciously: "Isn't that merchant a fox demon?" No matter how shallow the Tao is, you can still know the demon law, right? If you know how to use demons, why do you need to use these ghosts? Could it be that we wronged the merchant, and it was not he who was behind the scenes.? ”

"Fox demons are naturally good at charming, and if they want to kill, they don't have to be so troublesome."

"What the husband means is that the reason why the fox demon kills people is because he has to kill."
