38. The pain of bone erosion
Hu Yunzhi was anxious to catch up with the sedan chair and pull the person down from it, but Hu Dingtang stood there without moving, just watching the sedan chair slowly leave.
"Third brother, what the hell are you thinking!" Hu Yunzhi couldn't hold back and asked, "You know what your body is like, and you finally waited for Miss Meng, you don't treat others well, so tossed, if you really make her three long and two short, you won't have a place to cry." ”
Hu Dingtang put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I know it in my heart." ”
"I know what you're capable of, I just don't understand, why are you doing this? Isn't it okay to directly take Miss Meng as a younger brother and keep it by your side? Hu Yunzhi felt that he couldn't understand this third brother who grew up together more and more.
"Keeping it around?" Hu Dingtang shook his head and said, "Yunzhi, it's not that you don't know, what I care about, what they want to destroy, Meng Jiushang is a stubborn person, don't let her suffer a little and learn to be obedient, do you think I can raise her well and keep her?" ”
Hu Yunzhi's face froze, and he suddenly realized: "Third brother, do you mean that Miss Meng has been targeted?" ”
Hu Dingtang didn't answer Hu Yunzhi directly, but just took two steps forward and said, "Let's go, if you don't leave, it's really too late." ”
……
The sedan chair was bumpy all the way, and I don't know how long it took to walk, and turned into a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
When I woke up again, I was lying on a large Nanmu Babu bed, and the big red curtain covered the porch-style bed frame, which was beautifully carved with patterns.
Just by looking at this bed, you can guess the spaciousness of the main house, this kind of verandah-style stepping bed, ordinary people can't afford to use it at all.
I struggled to sit up, but I found that my hands and feet were still sore, and when I looked sideways, I saw a man standing by the bed.
The man heard the commotion, lifted the red curtain, and looked at me.
It's Mrs. Wu.
I immediately said angrily: "Mrs. Wu, why are you harming me!" What exactly do you want to do? ”
"Hurt you?" Mrs. Wu was surprised, "Miss Meng, how could I harm you?" ”
"You don't hurt me, why am I here? Why do you wear this wedding dress? I questioned her.
"Didn't I promise you before that I would choose a top man in Lin'an City for you to marry you?" Mrs. Wu's face was innocent, "Look, this is the man I chose for you." ”
"People used to be the prince who was being feuded, and the fief was in our Lin'an City, although it is said that the sky above has changed now, but it does not affect our prince at all, the family has a strong background, and he is low-key, you get married, just wait to enjoy the blessings."
Mrs. Wu chattered endlessly, her eyebrows fluttering, and she was very satisfied with the family business she had found for me.
I'm really puzzled, marriage matters, although I pay attention to the orders of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, but after all, I am the main party, so I should also ask a question, right?
She Wu Pozi is not my relative, and I didn't ask her, so she made the decision for me?
What's more, such a big thing happened in her family, Wu Xin was like that, she could still laugh?
When I looked at her like that, I only felt sarcastic, and I felt weird inexplicably, and I always felt that something was wrong.
She was still talking, and I couldn't help but interrupt her and asked, "Wu Xin is gone, don't you know?" ”
"Wu Xin? Xin'er? Mrs. Wu was suddenly stunned, reached out to cover her forehead, and shook her head violently, as if she wanted to shake off something.
I stared at her, not letting go of her every movement, and continued: "She was wearing a wedding gown, hanging from the beam of your guest room, her body was hollowed out by something, and only a skin remained, and now it is still dangling on the beam. ”
"Xin'er, Xin'er......" Mrs. Wu patted her head anxiously, her eyes opened and closed, looking painful.
Seeing her reaction like this, I already have a number in my heart.
What is struggling at the moment is the real Mrs. Wu, she should be controlled by something, from her disappearance, to leading the sedan chair to kidnap me, to the lobbying me just now, she was all manipulated.
Who the hell is it?
I gritted my teeth and raised my hand with all my might, pulled out the silver needle behind my ear, and stabbed it towards the center of Wu Pozi's eyebrows without hesitation, the movement was very fast and unexpected.
Mrs. Wu's whole person froze in place, her eyes widened, and a drop of blood slowly seeped out under the silver needle at the center of her eyebrows.
Almost at the same moment, a big red figure rose out of Wu Pozi's body, and Wu Pozi fell to the ground with a bang, unconscious.
The shadow was very faint, but after leaving Wu Pozi's body, it immediately became fuller, and the appearance of the figure, and even the clothes on the body, did not change in the slightest.
It turned out to be Zhen Ji.
Zhen Ji is the female ghost who controlled the Golden Silk Gu in the ancient tomb before.
She was trapped in the ancient tomb before and couldn't get out, how could she be here in a good way?
The wedding dress that Mrs. Wu asked me to help repair before, I thought that it was very similar to the one Zhen Ji was wearing, but I didn't expect that what I was afraid of has now come true.
"Why are you here?" At the beginning, didn't Hu Dingtang's subordinates completely destroy her in the ancient tomb?
Zhen Ji smiled cruelly: "Why can't I be here?" ”
I wanted to continue asking something, but my feet were weak and I fell to the ground.
Zhen Ji giggled and approached me step by step: "Look, you still fell into my hands after all, this time, even if the Great Luo Immortal comes, it won't save you!" ”
As she spoke, she suddenly pinched the mantra and stared at me with a pair of eyes that stared at me fiercely.
At first, I only felt a little itchy on my body and wanted to scratch it, but as Zhen Ji's spell became faster and faster, I felt like something was running around in my blood.
This made me think of Wu Xin all of a sudden, thinking of her hollowed-out body, the appearance of the human skin in the red wedding dress being hung on the beams of the house.
Golden Silk Gu!
We were all wrong, completely wrong.
No, no, everyone is right, it's just that everyone is hiding it from me.
Hu Dingtang and the others must have known that the Golden Silk Gu Seed had not been completely destroyed, and Grandma must have known it too.
But that day, my grandmother told me in person that the golden silk Gu in her body was gone, and she was lying to me.
I want my grandmother to come with me, but she doesn't want to, why?
It was because she knew very well that the Golden Silk Gu was still raging in her body.
And Hu Dingtang sent me back to the shroud shop, just to let me be an introduction to lure the snake out of the hole, right?
I am the bait that Hu Dingtang used to lure out Zhen Ji and the forces behind her, and the forces behind this are probably the culprits who released the news of the gold mine in the first place.
No wonder these times, every time I encounter something, I will meet them so coincidentally, Hu Yunzhi has been helping me, in fact, all this is under their control.
I'm just a pawn.
Oh, I said, this is the real Hu Dingtang, how could he suddenly change his sex?
I remembered that night in Hu Yunzhi's courtyard, Hu Dingtang kept asking me if I would regret taking this step, I didn't understand why he asked this at the time, but now I have completely woken up.
He's not afraid that I'll regret helping others, but he's afraid that after I'm pulled into this whirlpool, I'll hate him to the bone, right?
He could have stopped caring about my feelings, but he had something to ask me for after all, but the time had not yet come, and he couldn't turn his face with me until his goal was achieved.
I sneered at myself, obviously I was convinced from the first time I met that Hu Dingtang was thoughtful and difficult to get along with, but he was so easily calculated by him.
I tried to reach out and pull the silver needle off the center of Wu Pozi's eyebrows, and when I raised my hand to pierce Zhen Ji, the discomfort in my body suddenly became strong.
It was like there were thousands of ants scurrying and gnawing on my body, and my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't even hold the needle.
Zhen Ji squatted in front of me, reaching out to get my silver needle, and I quickly hid the silver needle behind my ear.
Zhen Ji's hand paused in mid-air, and she suddenly laughed, picked up my chin with her backhand, and asked knowingly, "Isn't it very uncomfortable?" ”
"Well, it won't be uncomfortable for a while, and it won't be uncomfortable forever."
I gritted my teeth and glared at Zhen Ji resentfully: "The wedding dress is the key, right?" ”
When I was in the ancient tomb, I thought that Zhen Ji's heart was agitating the Gu seed of the Golden Silk Gu, so the target of the attack was also her heart, but now it seems that the truth is not so simple.
"Yes, what a beautiful wedding dress, red, do you know, only the lady of the main palace can wear such a color." Zhen Ji said distractedly, "Back then, when I wore red makeup, I thought I had finally waited for everything I wanted, beauty, status, and favor, all of which were mine." ”
"But it's just such a wedding dress, ruining everything for me."
"The pain of eroding bones, no one knows, the torment I suffered that night, look at this phoenix, head high, accept the proud posture of a hundred birds to worship, how much like when I was favored, what a scenery? However, every golden thread on it was soaked in Gu water. ”
"Put on your body, those golden silk Gu from the Western Regions drill into the blood, eroding your flesh and blood inch by inch, your muscles and bones, leaving only a terrifying skin to imprison your soul, so that you can't live, but there is no way to reincarnate."
"You say how vicious she is!"
"Such a vicious person, but I was held in the palm of my favorite man like a treasure, completely forgetting how much I sacrificed in order to let him ascend to the supreme throne, forgetting his promise at the beginning, living in the same bed and dying."
It turned out that this Zhen Ji was also killed, no wonder the resentment was so deep.
Zhen Ji shook off my chin, and then laughed wildly, laughing to my bones: "You see, fate is fair, how could they have imagined that after such a long time, their descendants would be rewarded to my territory?" ”
Zhen Ji said, grabbed my back collar again, dragged me and walked outside.
At the round table in the center of the outer room, there was a man sitting upright, also wearing a bright red wedding robe, on which the golden dragon head was embroidered on the placket, vivid, while the man looked at the front with dull eyes.
This should be the groom tonight, the golden prince in the mouth of Mrs. Wu.
"Are you still satisfied?" Zhen Ji said in my ear, "Look, what a handsome man, when you get to Huangquan Road, you two will be companions, and you will also have a care, right?" ”
"Look at how considerate I am, everything is arranged for you properly, only if he dies with you, he really belongs to you, little girl, understand?"
After saying that, she threw me hard at the man, and my feet were so weak that I stumbled and fell directly into the man's arms.
Zhen Ji recited the spell again, and the man and I both began to writhe our bodies uneasily, the golden silk Gu was rampant in our bodies, if we couldn't stop it as soon as possible, we would both die tonight.
I couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly opened my mouth and shouted: "Hu Dingtang, when the fuck are you going to pretend to be a grandson!" ”
This bureau was set up by Hu Dingtang, the purpose was to use me to lure out the culprit, and now that his purpose has been achieved, I don't believe he didn't follow.
As soon as my words fell, Zhen Ji snorted and laughed: "Help? I'd like to see who has what it takes to save you! ”
With that, her incantation began to be pronounced faster, and I grabbed the clothes on my chest with both hands, rolling on the ground in pain.
I couldn't stand the pain anymore, and I scolded in despair: "Hu Dingtang, you are a cowardly coward, and I won't let you go if I am a ghost." ”
"Hu Dingtang, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me, you have to die!"
……
Here, my hysterical scolding, in the sound of Zhen Ji's spells, consumed my own life.
In the front yard, Hu Yunzhi listened to the faint scolding, and stomped his feet anxiously: "Third brother, what are you looking for?" Do you want Miss Meng to turn against us, or do you really want her to die? ”
"Shall we save people first and then come to find them?"
"Ah, my third brother, you have something to say!"
"Found it."
Hu Yunzhi's words were interrupted by Hu Dingtang, and he saw Hu Dingtang stepping on the Taishan stone under his feet and said, "Down here." ”
"What?" Hu Yunzhi hasn't reacted yet.
Hu Dingtang slapped his palm at the Taishan stone, and the Taishan stone shattered in response, revealing a hole at the bottom, and under the hole, a section of steps was exposed.
Hu Dingtang raised his feet and walked down, and Hu Yunzhi hurriedly followed.
……
And here, a loud noise came from the front yard, startling Zhen Ji, who had disappeared in front of us with a single move.
The spell stopped, and I finally had a chance to breathe, and the man in front of me gradually regained clarity in his eyes, looking at me with a puzzled expression.
"Who are you? Why is it in my house? Why are we dressed up this way? The man asked.
I shook my head: "Don't ask questions yet, take off your wedding robe immediately!" ”
The man frowned, slapped the table, and shouted, "Presumptuous, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"Of course I know what I'm talking about, and if I don't want to die, take off my clothes." As I spoke, I reached out to unfasten the buckle around my neck, but I had no strength in my hand and couldn't undo it.
When the man saw my movements, he probably thought that he had met some female hooligan, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from me, but as soon as he stepped back to the door, he was strangled by a miserable white hand.
Zhen Ji went and returned, followed by Hu Dingtang and Hu Yunzhi, the two of them were standing at the door, and they should have chased Zhen Ji over.
"Don't come here, or I'll kill these two people at once." Zhen Ji threatened.
I stared at Hu Dingtang, and a wave of anger came out of my chest, this guy was really there.
He glanced at me, his eyes immediately turned back to Zhen Ji's body, and said, "Zhen Ji, I have been cultivating in your tomb for thousands of years, and I can be regarded as an old acquaintance, so why bother to get to this point?" ”
"You said lightly, why should I be trapped in that tomb for the rest of my life, and the people who harmed me get away with it, I want them to pay for everything they did in the first place!" Zhen Ji yelled.
Hu Yunzhi interjected: "The two people you hate have long since died, and I don't know how many lives have been reincarnated, or the soul has long disappeared in this world, what you are doing now is just an innocent person, you are doing evil." ”
"No one is innocent." Zhen Ji's nails pinched the man's flesh again, the man snorted, obviously in pain, Zhen Ji said viciously, "The prince surnamed Fu must not be innocent." ”
Zhen Ji has already gotten into the tip of the bull's horns, coercing this prince today, and tomorrow she will be able to coerce more innocent people, as well as the three girls in Lin'an City, including Wu Xin, were all killed by her, leaving her for ten thousand years.
Hu Yunzhi wanted to say something, but was blocked by Hu Dingtang with a wave of his hand, and he said coldly: "Zhen Ji, this house has been surrounded by my people, you were burned by the earth fire before, and most of your ghost power was damaged, if I want to take you down now, it will be easy." ”
Zhen Ji subconsciously pinched the man's neck and took a step back, obviously she was afraid of Hu Dingtang.
Hu Dingtang continued: "But I can give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, as long as you tell me who is the person who rescued you in the fire that night, I can let you go and let you enter my hall for my use." ”
"I escaped on my own, and no one helped me." Zhen Ji insisted, "Hu Dingtang, don't try to bewitch me, my mother doesn't eat this!" ”
I couldn't help but look at Hu Dingtang, a guilty soul like Zhen Ji, if you want to really enter the formal hall, I'm afraid it's impossible, right?
Zhen Ji didn't believe Hu Dingtang, but she also knew this, she was afraid that after Hu Dingtang used her, he would unload the mill and kill the donkey.
And I think it's very likely.
"Really, you don't say it?" Hu Dingtang narrowed his eyes, his sleeves flicked, and a black tablet fell into his hand, he raised the tablet at Zhen Ji and said, "This, do you know it?" ”
Before Zhen Ji could speak, the man she was pinching screamed: "Who allowed you to dig out this tablet!" Put it back for me right away! ”
The man's voice was shaking, and he seemed to be very afraid of the tablet, but who was Hu Dingtang, how could he be assigned by him at will, he was in a hurry, and shouted outside: "Butler!" Shadow Guard! ”
But after shouting around, no one appeared, he still hasn't been able to accept his humble situation, in front of Hu Dingtang and Zhen Ji, just a shadow guard, what is it?
"Who's helping you?" Hu Dingtang continued to ask, "Is it Hu Dingqian, or Hu Dingkun?" ”
"Or ......"
Before Hu Dingtang's words were finished, behind him, a black arrow shot in without warning, and with a whoosh, it hit Zhen Ji's eyebrows.
