Xing Ruyi can't be excited, and when he is excited, it's easy to swear. This is the first time since she came to the Tang Dynasty that she feels that no swear words can perfectly interpret the anger in her heart. She went through countless curse words in her mind, but she never found a single word to spit on the old man in front of her! She wanted to punch him, but she raised her fist and watched as his white hair fell.

"Who are you? Who are you? Xing Ruyi felt powerless, but he remembered what the fox said before. The fox said that they already knew the true identity of the old lady, so what was the true identity of the old man?

"I'm Gou Hai!"

"Gou Hai?" Xing Ruyi didn't come back to his senses for a while, and turned his head to look at the fox.

"Gou Hai! On a certain level, it should be her father-in-law, her grandfather! The fox first pointed at the female ghost who had been lowered, and then pointed at the old lady: "Of course, I'm talking about the soul, not the body." ”

"Wait a minute, my mind is a little messy!" Xing Ruyi shook his head: "You mean, he is the Gou Hai who did a leather business in the city, and then pressed his family here, but died early because of a dirty disease?" Oh, my God! If he is Gou Hai, then wouldn't he marry his granddaughter as a daughter-in-law! ”

"Yes from a soul point of view, but not from a physical point of view!" The fox wrapped his arms around Ruyi's shoulder: "I know that these things seem a bit unbelievable to you, in the words of your hometown, it is to destroy the three views, but for people who use evil magic to harm others, people who have blood relations are often the most suitable materials." ”

"Materials?" Xing Ruyi could not equate these two cold words with those who were alive.

"That's right, I'm Gou Hai! It is the real owner of the old house of the Gou family! The old man opened his mouth again, but this time his eyes were looking outside, the direction of the original Gou family's old house: "Before I met that person, I was just an ordinary fur merchant. I have a very flexible brain and my own way of doing business, so my business is doing quite well. In addition to the leather business, I also bought and sold some medicinal herbs, and even contacted some blacksmiths privately to toss some weapons or something. At that time, in addition to clothing, people also had to treat injuries and see doctors to protect themselves, so they made a lot of money.

Just like Miss Ruyi said before, once this person has money, it is easy to get some bad things. At that time, I was young, and my wife at home had a strange temper, so I always liked to run to those brothels in private. I often walked by the river, how could I not get my shoes wet, and finally I contracted those unsightly diseases, and I could only wait for death.

I knew very well that my illness could not be cured, and even when I died, it would be very ugly. So I excused myself to go out and do business, trying to find a place to cut myself off. Just when I decided to do it to myself, I met the guy and he said he could help me.

I didn't believe him originally, but the survival ** still made me decide to give it a try. The way he told me to continue my life was actually to borrow my life from others, and even this village was told to me by him.

To borrow life, you must first find people with the five types of life: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. I don't know if God wants to help me, but these five types of people are actually in the same village. So, according to what the Taoist priest said, I gave some money to the land protection, settled myself in this village, and also divided the land and built a house.

In order to be able to be reborn perfectly, I personally planned my own death, so that everyone in the village, including my wife, thought that I had died of a dirty disease. Secretly, I used the method given to me by that person to create all kinds of accidents, and obtained the five life qualities of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and successfully borrowed my life. ”

"Who you are now?" Xing Ruyi asked.

The old man shook his head: "No! The first time I borrowed was the body of a homeless man. To be honest, there was still a trace of kindness in my heart at that time, and I couldn't bear to destroy more families to satisfy my personal **, so I chose that homeless man. But for some reason, my body began to undergo strange changes, and that kind of change made me feel scared, so I decided to borrow my life again!

The first time I borrowed my life, I was still a strong young man, although I was sick, but the second time, I was already a little overwhelmed, so I decided to find myself a helper. While I was secretly looking for a candidate, my son brought her back. ”

The old man said, pointing to the female ghost who had been lowered by her head.

"I didn't think about what to do with her, but at that time I didn't know if I could continue to live, so I often went back secretly to see. I saw what my son did to her, and I knew she wanted my son to die. My son is a bad person, but he is also my son after all, so I don't allow that to happen.

At the time, she was pregnant, and I was in dire need of a helper, so I decided to turn her into my puppet using the methods that the man had taught me after she gave birth to our Gou child. I Qiao Zhuang took the form of a Taoist priest, secretly found her, told her how to take revenge, and made her volunteer to be my puppet, while I took the fetus from her womb after she hanged herself.

All of this was perfect, she died, leaving behind the descendants of our Gou family, and as for my son, I will find another opportunity to help him find a suitable woman. But I never imagined that she would have such powerful energy when she had just become a ghost, and I couldn't control it at all. By the time I arrived at the Gou family's old house, my son and my wife had already been killed by her.

They are my only relatives, but they were killed by my own hands, I have no way to face them, and I don't know what to do with them, so I can only lock them up in the old mansion of the Gou family. ”

"You're lying! If you really love your son, if you really care about your wife, find a way to get them where they should go. But you didn't, you just turned them into walking corpses, into your other ghost slaves, and let them continue to help you do hurtful things! "Xing Ruyi pointed at the old man!" From start to finish, all you care about is yourself! ”

"Maybe!" The old man didn't refute, raised his head and looked at the night sky and smiled: "Maybe you're right, I'm a selfish person, and what I care about has always been just me." Otherwise, how could I have put my heart into doing the rest of the things. ”

"Those people who broke into the Gou family's old house were also harmed by you?"

"That's right, it's me!"

"Why? If you've succeeded, why do you want to harm those people? Just because they entered your house! ”

"Of course not! I killed them because I wanted to live. Although I borrowed my life again, it was still not perfect, and there would still be problems of one kind or another. I frantically flipped through the books related to magic, and finally I found a solution, which was to suck other people's souls, and keep sucking other people's souls. But it's not all, it only takes one soul and one soul. ”

"So those who broke into the Gou family's old house all suffered from hysteria? No! That's not hysteria, it's because you took one of their souls and one of their souls! ”

"Yes! I took one of their souls and one of their souls. Actually, I didn't think about those people dying, but I don't know why, they still died, and after they died, their souls hovered around me, and I could only lock them up one by one. ”

"The second life I borrowed is the body I use now. He is an orphan in the village, who grew up eating 100 family meals, is taciturn, and rarely attracts the attention of others. Besides, at that time, he was only seven or eight years old, which was the ideal choice for me. After the borrowing was successful, because I was young, the people in the village would not count the things that happened in the Gou family to my head.

Mr. Fox is right, some of the stories I told you earlier are apocryphal, at least in terms of timing and order. Because all these things started from the Gou family to this village, and from the death of Gou Hai. ”

"What about Grandma Han'er? Why do you marry her when you know her relationship with you? ”

"I don't know! At least I didn't know it when I married her! The old man shouted angrily: "Every time I borrow my life, there will be a brief blank in my memory. After she was born, I put her in another home for the time being because I had other things to do. Later, my son died, my wife also died, and the Gou family became a ghost house, and I naturally couldn't pick her up. Later, because of my physical problems, I needed to borrow my life again, and I had no time to take care of her, and she was also sold by her adoptive parents several times, and finally arrived at the family. Don't say that I am after borrowing my life again, it is the me before, even if I stand face to face with her, I may not be able to know that she is my granddaughter and the descendant of my Gou family. ”

"So by mistake, you became a family!"

"I know that I am not an ordinary person, and I am also worried that others will find out my secret, so I have always lived cautiously, and I have never dared to think about getting married. It wasn't until the matchmaker brought her to me that I had a strange feeling that she was familiar and that I wanted to protect her. At that time, I was already well connected to this body, so I agreed.

Now that I think about it, I think it's ridiculous. That feeling, where is the destined marriage in the past life and present life, it is simply blood and family. Unfortunately, by the time I knew all this, it was too late! Too late! ”

"When did you find out?"

"The time Han'er broke into the old house of the Gou family! That time, I originally wanted the lives of those children, but who knew that Han'er would follow them. Later, Han'er also fell ill, and she was also taken away by my puppet, who was the one who took away her soul and soul. Although the man taught me how to take away the souls of others, and gave me the way to borrow my life, he did not tell me how to exchange the souls that were taken away. Just when I was so worried that I didn't know what to do, that person appeared again. ”

"That person, who is he?"

"I don't know, he claims to be a Taoist priest from Zhongnan Mountain. But it seems to me that he is also an evil way, and if it weren't for him, how could I have learned this evil art of borrowing my life. The old man laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Unnecessary!" Xing Ruyi and the fox glanced at each other.

The name has finally appeared again!
