Chapter Twenty-Nine, The Long Moon of the Forgotten Inn IV.
"Ahem......" Changyue tried to bet his lifespan in exchange for strength, but he vomited blood, "I can't fulfill your wish, the power of this seal far exceeds my lifespan, and I will die if I forcibly change my wish." ”
"How long can you get out of here?" Jiuya felt that there was a play, and she might be able to take a gamble and leave the hotel to play somewhere else.
"One day, there must also be a substitute."
"It's easy! See how lucky I am! "Jiuya is ready to fight, and it's been a day off.
"Jiuya?" Fuchen himself couldn't believe your eyes, Changyue just put on a cloak and disappeared with Jiuya, the two disappeared out of thin air, Fuchen walked to the place where Jiuya was standing just now and tentatively groped for nothing.
"Is this invisibility?" Fuchen speculated uncertainly.
"They went to another dimension." The female ghost explained.
"Who is she?" Fuchen had only seen women's clothes, and Changyue thought he was a woman.
"A monster, huh? As long as you're not afraid of death, you can gamble with him. ”
"She eats souls?"
"Don't eat it."
"So what is she trying to do? Is it just for fun? ”
"He's not a human being, who knows what he's trying to do, isn't there a lot of such things for no reason in the world?"
"And what did you bet with him?" Fuchen remembered that they must have gambled on something.
"I can only bet three times with him, three times is enough, my daughter wants me to be resurrected and hunger strike for ten days, if it weren't for this mirror, I'm afraid she would have starved to death."
"Wait, your daughter used to be the one who guarded the seal here?" Fuchen was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's incredible that I'm a relative of Jiu Yazu, right?"
"The master said that only the mirror chooses people, and people can't decide their own fate."
"That's true, my daughter is in her prime, but she wants to spend the rest of her life guarding this mirror, who has asked her if she wants to......" The female ghost was a little excited, and it was hard to say anything more, listening to the female ghost talking to herself.
"At that time, every adult girl of the Jiang family had to come to the ancestral hall to kowtow, I was married from a foreign country and didn't know what rules and taboos the Jiang family had, and I couldn't stand the persuasion of everyone so I let my daughter go, and when I came back that day, she began to cough up blood with a fever, and my twenty-eighth daughter, my husband left early, I single-handedly brought my daughter up, hoping that she could marry a good family and no longer suffer, but because of the worship of this bronze mirror, I lost my daughter!" The female ghost's voice with a crying tone made Fuchen a little embarrassed, he is not Jiuya, he doesn't like to listen to other people's stories, he just needs to know the result.
"Win!" Just when Fuchen was so embarrassed that he couldn't do it, Jiuya suddenly appeared in front of him, hugged him, and shouted happily.
"How is that possible! What the hell did you wish! Ahem......" Then the black cloak slid to the ground, and Changyue was still dressed in women's clothes, and the corners of her mouth were still coughing with blood.
"Hehe, I didn't mean to hug you, I was just too happy." Jiuya saw that she was holding the floating dust, and she was a little embarrassed and quickly let go.
"My aunt and grandmother told me that our ancestor, who deserved a thousand cuts, said that every generation contributes a woman to guard this bronze mirror! So I forgot about the fact that you were originally a man, and I thought that you were a woman anyway, and I would be my substitute and let me choose that day off, and I won. "Jiuya is happy that she remembered the words of the wine bottle ghost when she chosen, the first time right, the second time or the right will go to jail, and she chooses the opposite, the first time the right and the second time the left is not good, but as soon as the palm of the hand is opened, Changyue is still a woman, but her face has become a little like herself, and it flashes by, and the surroundings are lit up, and she must have won.
"You! You! You wait for me, you have one more chance, this time I want your life! Changyue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, panting and trying not to let herself fall, what kind of place is this, it will consume so much of her life, fortunately, she can still feel that someone is constantly calling for her, otherwise she will dissipate.
"Fuchen casually took a key from the counter and quickly helped Changyue to rest, don't be afraid that he is also a man, but now he looks like a woman." Jiuya is so happy, she hasn't been out for a long time, so she will go to Zhenxiyuan for a wild meal tomorrow.
Fuchen wanted to help Changyue, and was pushed away by Changyue, he has existed for at least 6,000 years and appeared almost at the same time as desire, but today he was planted twice in the hands of a woman, what a shame! This revenge is not a gentleman! Fuchen had no choice but to take the key and lead the way to Changyue.
"It was raining that day, it was dark early, he was wearing an umbrella, a blue robe, and a black cloak on his arm......" Jiuya heard what the female ghost was saying and leaned over.
"The ancestral hall was burned clean by me, and before it was rebuilt, the girl knelt in the rain and was dying of hunger, I had been beaten to death with a stick, and I couldn't help my daughter no matter how distressed I was, and I could only cry silently on the side when I saw her in the rain, he took the umbrella and picked up my daughter's face with the tip of the umbrella to take a look......"
……
"What are you persevering for with such great perseverance? Money? Right? Or marry a good man? He looked at my daughter with a look of disgust and disdain on his face.
"I wanted to bring my mother back to life, she was beaten to death with a stick, and I couldn't do anything right in front of my eyes!"
"For someone else? Do you pay the price? It's better to think about yourself, and the dead will let her die......"
"I just want my mother!" At his daughter's insistence, he put down his umbrella, put on his cloak, stretched out two pairs of fists and put them in front of his daughter, and asked her to choose "Left or right?" ”
The daughter didn't think about it at the time, and touched the left: "It's a pity, you lost!" "The cloak slipped off his body, and out of his left hand fell out of the horn comb I had carved for my daughter, which I had prepared for her as a dowryman.
"You're the first person I've ever made a wish for someone since I realized what I'm doing, and I wanted to give you another wish, but unfortunately it became the ultimate gamble." When the horn comb fell to the ground, the daughter also lay on the ground due to physical exhaustion.
"Wait!"
"Who are you? I've been hiding from the side since just now. ”
"I am her mother, and the person she wants to resurrect is me, and I bet with you to use the wish you want to give her." I misunderstood what he meant at the time, thinking that my daughter was dead, and my daughter was dead, so what's the point of living in the state of my soul, and my soul is scattered in exchange for my daughter's fate.
"Good! Left or right? He put on his cloak again and plunged himself into the darkness completely, leaving only a pair of fists in front of me, and my daughter was no longer visible around me.
I chose the left side, and I trusted my daughter's decision, and then his cloak fell, and I saw my daughter still kneeling on the ground in the rain, with the horn comb next to her.
"You lost ......"
"No, I won!"
"You'll be imprisoned here forever."
"No, I won, the girl is still alive, I'm very happy to be here to guard her for the rest of my life."
"What?" He looked back and saw my daughter unscathed, still on her knees, and his look of surprise lasted for a long time.
Then he picked up the umbrella and picked his daughter's face with the tip of the umbrella, looked up at the bronze mirror hanging in mid-air, and left without saying anything.
