Chapter 13: The Uninvited Guest
Banyou originally thought that he could keep the clouds open and see the moon, but he didn't expect Huai Wei to give him a slap in the face, just like swimming in the shoreless sea and suddenly saw an island for rest, but in the next second he was pressed into the sea and couldn't struggle, the disparity made his heart swell with boundless suffering, making him a one-meter-nine thousand-year-old demon almost cry in front of Huai Wei aggrievedly.
"You look remorseful, so I'm going to ask you. Why didn't you apologize when you were forced to share the divine body in the first place? Why don't I die of shame and act on my vows when I break them? Are you reluctant to give up this immortal shell? Huaiwei's questions are direct and sharp, and each sentence can be condensed into two words - hypocrisy.
Banyou's heart knows very well that there are many contradictions between him and Huai Wei, not that they can be explained in a few words, let alone solved in a while, but Huai Wei's too straightforward words stabbed him in the heart with full of malice, and when he heard Huai Wei's mocking question, he raised his head full of grievances, looked at Huai Wei with a complex and direct look, and nodded in response: "Yes, I am reluctant." Immortality wasn't what I wanted, but I'm still grateful to have me with you. It's you who I can't bear. ”
"Is there anything else I can do for you?" Huaiwei's mind was full of conspiracy theories, and she understood Banyu's words as a purposeful overture, thinking that he wanted to get something out of her or let her do something.
Banyou, who finally said what was in his heart, was anxiously waiting for the verdict to be announced, and after listening to Huaiwei's words, he couldn't cry or laugh, and his originally depressed mood was instantly relieved, and his firm eyes grabbed Huaiwei: "I wish my god health and worry-free." ”
Huai Wei stopped talking and closed her eyes, obviously not believing what Banyou said.
"My gods rest in peace, and I will retire." Banyou is not a clever and eloquent person, and seeing that Huaiwei didn't want to talk, he chose to leave temporarily.
"Thank you for taking back Hu Lie's dead soul." Huai Wei has clear grievances and grievances, and expresses her gratitude to Banyou for what happened in the ghost world.
Banyou stopped, turned his back to Huai Wei and responded lightly: "You're welcome, my god." ”
An uninvited guest from the Jade Clan came and shrouded in black cloth, looking extremely mysterious.
Elder He said to Huai Wei: "Respect God, there is a ghost clan outside the mountain, and he can't see his face clearly, and he claims to be Hu Lie's friend. ”
"Got it." Huai Wei did not ask the elders to bring the visitors into the mountain, but chose to go out to meet them in person.
Huai Wei came to the mountain pass in an instant, and sure enough, he saw a ghost clan dressed in black standing quietly under a pear blossom tree, and the pear blossoms fell all over his body, and he bowed his head and was silent, and he didn't speak first for a long time, so Huaiwei, who couldn't bear it, could only take the lead in asking: "Are you looking for me?" ”
The person who came turned around, his face was tightly wrapped, and only a pair of eyes were exposed: "Yes." Hu Lie's dead soul, give it to me. ”
Hearing the crisp voice of the visitor, it was very different from the hoarse and ugly voice of the ordinary ghost clan, which was very special, and Huai Wei was stunned for a moment.
"Who are you? What is the relationship with Hu Lie? "Of course, Huai Wei won't hand over Hu Lie's Dead Soul Spirit easily.
"Who am I?" The black-clothed ghost asked himself, and then seemed to be stuck in a long memory, and then began to introduce himself with difficulty, "I don't have a name, Hu Lie calls me Ah Li." Before I was born, I was a pear tree in front of Hu Lieyuan, growing up with him, watching him marry a wife and have children until he died of old age. Later, I condensed into a spirit, became a tree ghost, came to the ghost world, and met Hu Lie, who became a ghost. The ghost world is not as prosperous as the world, and life there is extremely boring, but Hu Lie was a person who was at ease with what happened when he was alive, and he was still the same after becoming a ghost. We stayed peacefully in the ghost world for hundreds of years, until we met you who were caught. Hu Lie, who is indifferent to everything, seems to be stunned, and he has tried all his tricks to save you even if he offends the ghost king. ”
Huai Wei remembered the strangeness when she saw Hu Lie last year, and didn't understand why Hu Lie lost his memory, so she changed her face: "Hu Lie sent me out of the ghost world, and he turned around himself to lead away the pursuers of the ghost clan. What really happened next? Why does he seem to have forgotten the past? Why has his appearance changed? How did you escape the Ghost King? ”
"The ghost inherited the appearance before his death, and it is a place where the ghost qi gathers, and the ghost who cultivates to a high level can conjure up a new face, but it is easy to be recognized, which is equivalent to wanting to cover it up, and it has no effect. But there is a ghost technique called face fusion, also known as face swapping, which can change the established appearance, and of course, it can also change the original breath of the ghost body. In other words, changing your face is equivalent to having a completely different ghost. Ah Li untied the black cloth covering her face round by round, revealing her true face, a "faceless", that face was flat and neat, only a pair of eyes and three holes corresponding to the position of the nose and mouth, which looked weird and terrifying, and she spoke through the opening and closing of the mouth hole, "Scared?" After all, you're the only one who's ever seen this face, and I don't even dare to look at it myself. The reason why the face melting technique is infallible and impossible to see through is that it is real, but it requires a voluntary face, and if it is forcibly peeled off, the falling face cannot be formed. ”
Ah Li only showed his "face" briefly, and then wrapped it up again, and Huai Wei heard this, and saw Ah Li's face again, what else didn't understand, Hu Lie's new face was voluntarily changed to him by Ah Li, and he himself could only be accompanied by black cloth.
"Hu Lie's amnesia was a side effect of the face change, and I thought it would be better to forget, at least the next few days would be safe and sound. Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, he met you again, and he happened to meet the ghost dragon, in order to save you, he plotted against the weak ghost dragon, and the ghost dragon formed a grudge, and it may be fate to be devoured by him. Hu Lie's Dead Soul Spirit was left to confuse the Ghost King at that time, because the Dead Soul Spirit and the ghost body have a similar aura, but I didn't expect the Ghost King to be retained. Ah Li explained clearly the beginning and end of stealing beams and changing pillars over the years, slowly stretched out her hand, and asked Huai Wei again, "Ah Lie's dead soul, give it to me." ”
"Can't give it to you right now. Hu Lie's ghost body has just been devoured, and the dead soul has been snatched out of the ghost realm again, and if you take it with you, you will face the wanted of the entire ghost world. After Huai Wei refused Ah Li's request, she immediately took out a ball of yellow mud and a brocade bag, took off the jade hanging around her neck, put it in the brocade bag, and handed it to Ah Li, and then explained to him in detail, "This yellow mud was left by Nuwa back then, it can be shaped into any shape, you can give yourself a new face, rest assured, it is absolutely impossible to be recognized." As for this bag, it is woven by the golden silkworm raised by the ancestor, which can hide all the breath. I wish you all the best. ”
Ah Li took Huaiwei's gift, didn't thank you, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
When Ban Yu came to look for Huaiwei, she leaned against the pear blossom tree, and Luohua put on a white coat for her. Approaching Huai Wei quietly, he didn't want to make a noise to disturb, but the eye-catching crack on her face shocked him, and there was a problem with the originally repaired body, Bai She juice seemed to be ineffective, and Ban You, who was closer, also noticed that something was wrong with Huai Wei, and her breath was extremely weak.
Huai Wei stubbornly unraveled Yunwang Mountain's secret words, and the half-ghostly fire hurriedly led her to find the elder who was thinking about the strange life.
When the elder saw Huai Wei's situation, his brows, which had not been flattened, frowned even tighter, and he didn't know who he was asking, "How can this be?" Is the white juice invalid so quickly? What did the Venerable God just do? Why did the rift occur? Is it the ghost clan? ”
Gu Zhi, who was a step late, looked at Huai Wei, who was half-ghostly, and didn't speak for a long time, and then asked in an extremely low voice, sentence after sentence: "You already knew, right?" Did you notice it at the beginning? How long do you want to hide? ”
Huai Wei didn't answer Gu Zhi, I don't know if it was because she didn't have the strength or if she was told that she was in her heart.
"Know what? Perceive what? What to hide? Xiao Gu, what are you talking about? The elder asked again and again.
Seeing that none of them took Huaiwei's rift to heart, Banyou hurriedly urged: "Heal first." ”
"Okay." The elder was the first to respond, conjuring up a porcelain vase, and his tone was a little gratifying, "Fortunately, there are still some left." ”
Huai Wei, who had been repaired again, was blocked on the seat, and Gu Zhi's ugly face made her realize that things might not be confused, so she could only confess and be lenient: "The strength of God is due to the unity of the divine body and the divine soul, which is enough to look at all things. After the separation of the two, it is powerful and fragile, and the divine body can make the eater immortal, but the divine body separated from the divine soul cannot be preserved for a long time, and will quickly dissolve. As for the divine soul, after breaking away from the divine body, the divine power was greatly weakened, but it was so strong that no carrier could become its container, not even the five-colored stone of Nuwa to mend the sky. So it's just a matter of time before my body cracks. ”
There was silence, the demons and monsters in the room were silent.
The elder stopped Banyou, who didn't say a word and wanted to leave alone: "Lord You, where do you want to go?" ”
"Take the white juice." The half-ghost sacrificed the ghost blade and wanted to perform the teleportation technique.
"Lord You, you don't want to die." The elder stubbornly held the impulsive Banyou, and even cast a partial confinement spell on him, seeing that he was going to forcibly break the spell, he shouted at him angrily, "You have already been to Lunzhi Mountain once, and those demons will definitely strengthen their precautions." The injuries you suffered when you went to the ghost world are not healed, and the remaining demonic qi has just been expelled, why are you still rushing to find death? ”
"You're hurt?" Huai Wei had no idea what was happening, so she asked, "What's going on?" ”
Banyou didn't answer, and the elder spoke for him: "Lord You was injured in the Yuanhe, and a large piece of his arm was corroded, and he could see the bones. ”
"Come here, I'll take a look." Huai Wei sank his face.
