Under the red umbrella, there was a face that Xing Ruyi was not familiar with, but before she could think about it, the skin on her face began to slowly fall off, and then her eyes also fell, leaving only blood on her face.

The woman said suspiciously, "Girl, have you ever remembered me?" ”

Xing Ruyi looked at her and didn't speak.

"Barren grass graves, loess covering bones, girl, do you still remember the person who asked for you in the western suburbs outside the city?"

"Are you Xiuxiu? No! You should be Xiuhe! ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is what you promised me, girl."

Under the red umbrella, the face changed again, from bloody to a skeleton. Xing Ruyi suddenly remembered the scene of Sun Wukong beating the white bone spirit three times in Journey to the West, and felt a little headache.

"I did promise to save you, but the truth is, you don't need me to save you at all." Xing Ruyi said, leaning on the pillar in front of the door: "Change your face, although I am not afraid of evil ghosts, but looking at your skeletal face in the middle of the night, to be honest, I was panicked." By the way, what should I call you, Xiuxiu or Xiuhe? There's got to be a name, right? ”

"Call me Xiuxiu!" The woman said, changing her face to the same as when she first came.

"Tsk, you're so stubborn, Xiuxiu is Xiuxiu, right? By the way, aren't you already dead? Oh no, I think it's gone. Xing Ruyi looked at the grimace, which was a little different from the one she saw outside the deserted grave in the western suburbs, but when she was alive, she should also be the kind of girl with thin eyebrows and fine eyes. But it's just such a good-looking girl, she actually put her face and didn't want it, and she asked for some blood rouge viciously, but it turned out to be good, not only did she not get anything, but she also ended up in a wilderness.

"White bones become ghosts, how can it be so easy to scatter your soul, speaking of which, it disappoints you, girl."

"It's not disappointing or disappointing, I'll hit you again if it's a big deal." Xing Ruyi said, pinched out a ghost fire, and dangled in front of his eyes: "Say, come to me in the middle of the night, do you want to take revenge?" I still want to die! But no matter what your purpose is, the result is the same, it is once again disillusioned. ”

"Without that Qingqiu fox fairy, does the girl think that with the girl alone, Xiuxiu's soul will be scattered?"

"It's really hard to say, why don't we try it?" Xing Ruyi said, his eyes instantly became fierce, and the ghost fire in his hand also burned towards Xiuxiu, only to hear a slight "stab", and Xiuxiu's face was burned half of it again.

"Xiuxiu just came to ask the girl to fulfill your promise, but she didn't expect you to be so unreasonable!"

"Have you ever seen a man reason with a ghost? Especially if you're still a lie-ridden and scheming ghost. Xing Ruyi said, and pinched out another ghost fire, and the target was still Xiuxiu's face.

Xiuxiu stepped back lightly and said angrily, "Why did you only attack my face? ”

"It's very simple, because you don't cherish this face, why don't I attack!" Xing Ruyi said, stretched out his hand to grab the red umbrella in Xiuxiu's hand, Xiuxiu took a step back, and shouted eagerly: "If the girl doesn't want the innocent soul to be scattered, please stop!" ”

Xing Ruyi stopped, looked at Xiuxiu's eyes that had turned into holes again, and asked sharply, "You caught Liu Wei's ghost?" ”

"It's not deliberate, it's just that I happened to meet on the way to the rouge shop." Xiuxiu said, exhaling a breath of black air, and Liu Wei's soul was also thrown out: "Returning Liu Wei to the girl is my sincerity." I said, I came here tonight, just to want you to fulfill your promise, not to make it difficult for you. Besides, if I fight the girl to the death tonight, I don't know who will win or lose. ”

"You're dead, what are you talking to me about fighting to the death!"

Xiuxiu smiled bitterly: "Yes, Xiuxiu is just a lonely ghost, but since they have all become ghosts, what else is there to fear." ”

Xing Ruyi lured Liu Wei's ghost over and protected him behind him, then he extinguished the ghost fire on his fingertips, looked at Xiuxiu's grimace burned by himself, and said, "Say, what do you want to do?" In addition, I warn you, don't play tricks on me again, although I am not a wicked person, but my heart is definitely not good, if you set any more traps, you know for yourself what the consequences will be. ”

"Xiuxiu promises, come tonight, absolutely sincere!"

"Nonsense, and some can be taken seriously. But for the sake of you not returning just now, I'll listen to you. ”

"On the street?" Xiuxiu looked left and right: "Although it is the middle of the night, mortals will not see me like this, but they can see you, girl." ”

"Come in with me!" Xing Ruyi said, turned around and entered the rouge shop, and carried the half-unconscious Liu Wei into it by the way. Xiuxiu smiled slightly, also accepted the red umbrella, and followed into the rouge shop.

At the corner of the street, Mo Xuyou squinted his slender eyes and exhaled softly.

In the rouge shop, Xing Ruyi opened a portrait of Guanyin and threw Liu Wei's soul into it, and then turned to look at Xiuxiu and said: "I don't know the rules of your evil ghost path, you can stand and sit if you want, there is tea on the table, and you want to drink it yourself." ”

"Xiuxiu is a ghost, there is no difference between sitting and not sitting, as for this tea, I'm afraid I can't enjoy it." Xiuxiu said, letting go of her hand, and the red umbrella floated lightly to the roof, but the shadow of the umbrella still shrouded her.

"Let's understand that people don't engage in routines, let's say, what promise do you want me to fulfill? Rescue you from Wei Village? Xing Ruyi pointed to Xiuxiu in front of him: "You don't need me to save you now, you have already come out." Oh, no, I should say that I have already fulfilled my promise, we destroyed the arsenal in Weijia Village, and also reversed the pattern of the Yin Corpse Land, so now that place, it should no longer be able to trap you. ”

"It's not that place that can trap Xiuxiu." Xiuxiu shook her head: "Xiuxiu knew that she was stupid and did wrong things when she was alive, but as early as when she was dying, she had a heart of repentance. Xiuxiu didn't want to be an evil ghost, except for the grave, where she had lured the girl into a fantasy world, she hadn't done anything heinous. ”

"Haven't you really done it?"

"The girl has a pair of ghost eyes and a ghost art, and she can't see it. When he was in the Western Suburbs Arsenal, Xiuxiu and the Qingqiu Fox Fairy did not fight but made the golden cicada shell. If Xiuxiu is really a demon, he can fight hard, even if he can't win and escape, he won't be stupid to come to the door today. The girl is clear, Xiuxiu does have unspeakable secrets, and she does have requirements for the girl. ”

"You've been talking for a long time, but you haven't made it clear, what do you want me to do?"

"I miss you, girl, save me!" Xiuxiu said, pulling her shirt down, revealing her neck and upper shoulders. The dark red light, from the cross, was tightly wrapped around Xiuxiu's body.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a ghost rope or something!" Xiuxiu said, and returned the clothes to their original places: "After I became a ghost, this thing is here." Originally, I thought these were just scars, but it wasn't until I couldn't get out of that place that I realized something was wrong. Later, I found out that many people who strayed into Wei Village would disappear for no reason, and they couldn't even find their souls, so I began to follow the clues to investigate. I found out that there was actually a large tomb hidden under Wei Village, and those who disappeared, including their souls, were sucked into that tomb. I don't know why I didn't suck it in, but the criss-crossing ghost ropes on my body were left by that thing. ”

Xiuxiu said, looking out of her eyes: "After you left, I thought I was free, but later I found out that no matter how far I escaped, as soon as I reached the fifth watch, I would be brought back to Wei Village by that force." Girl, if you don't believe it, Xiuxiu is willing to accompany you to the fifth watch, so that you can see the strangeness of this ghost rope with your own eyes. ”

"So, your purpose is for me to find a way to untie this ghost rope?"

Xiuxiu shook her head: "Daoist Mo told me that this ghost rope is transformed by the essence and blood of that thing, if it doesn't die, even the Great Luo Immortal can't untie it." ”

"And then? You want me to kill that thing for you! Xing Ruyi spread his hands: "Do you think I have the strength to meddle in things?" Besides, I'm doing a good job in the rouge shop, so why should I find trouble to provoke an old monster hiding underground? ”

Xing Ruyi said, and suddenly remembered the embarrassed appearance of the fox before leaving for the arsenal that day, and she immediately understood: "Did the fox fight with that thing?" ”

"That Qingqiu Fox Fairy?" Xiuxiu raised her eyes: "He did enter that place, but Xiuxiu didn't see him come out at that time." Later, when she saw him coming with the girl, Xiuxiu was taken aback, thinking that they were just two immortals with similar appearances. Now that she heard the girl ask, Xiuxiu knew that the fox fairy must have fought with the thing underground that day, and it was very likely that both sides would lose. ”

"So, the old monster that can't even be beaten by a fox, you let me fight?"

Xiuxiu didn't think about it that way, according to the girl's current strength, it was not enough to match. Although Xiuxiu was not a good person in his lifetime, he was by no means a heinous person, and Xiuxiu would not mention this kind of request knowing that he would be sent to death. ”

"And how do you want me to save you?"

"Mo Daochang said that things in the world must have a reason. Even if it is a thousand-year-old monster, there must be a weakness for him. Therefore, what Xiuxiu wants to ask the girl is to help Xiuxiu find out the origin of the old monster and find a way to rescue Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu's move is not only for individuals, but also for the villagers who were innocently devoured by monsters. Also, Xiuxiu wants to tell the girl a secret, Uncle Wei is not there to forge weapons, but to forge a very strange tree-like thing. Mo Daochang suspected that the thing was used for sacrifice, but a few days before the fox fairy and the girl came, it was quietly transported away by a group of people from the official mansion, and its whereabouts were unknown. There are also those missing children, some of whom were indeed eaten by Wei Shumou, but many more children were used as sacrificial vessels. ”

"Sacrificial vessels?"

"Yes, sacrificial vessels! I don't know if you've heard the story of the cadre and Mo Xie? ”
