Chapter 220: Soul Chasing Soup (7)
"Why did the old man harm me?" Xing Ruyi looked at the fox puzzled: "Our departure from Luoyang City is a temporary day, and the choice of this village to settle down is also a temporary decision, and even interfering in this matter is also my temporary intention, the old man has no reason to harm me at all!" ”
"Improvisation, impromptu killing, you are not unfamiliar with these words, right?" The fox chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "You still told me this." ”
"Of course I know, at the time I thought you were just a pure fox, and you took advantage of it for nothing. Of course, you were also forced by me to watch a lot of legal programs. You also said that impromptu murder like this kind of impromptu killing is a phenomenon that only exists in our human society, and it is impossible for you fox clan at all. Wait, you mean, the old man made a decision to kill me on the spot. ”
"That's right, all he wanted was the lives of the villagers he had chosen, but your appearance gave him a better choice. Ruyi, you should understand that you were able to follow me here, not only because of an accident, but also because of your fate. ”
"Could it be that this old man is practicing some kind of evil art?" Xing Ruyi tapped his chin with his fingers while watching Li Mao catch the female ghost: "My eyes, although they are not as good as your fox eyes, can also see that the old man is not a monster, nor is he a monster who does not need to be that kind of old immortal, I really can't think of a reason why he wants to harm me and the villagers in the village." ”
"It doesn't matter if you can't think of it, I just said it, and I'll let him tell you in person." The fox said, took Xing Ruyi's hand and walked up to the female ghost: "I know that you are in a hurry, let me tell you something inconsequential first."
She is not from Xiangxi Miao Village, but an ordinary woman. In the process of fleeing with his mother, he was saved by the Gou family. Of course, this salvation has a purpose, he just took a fancy to this woman's appearance and wanted to bring her home to be his own woman.
It's a pity that the people of the Gou family are selfish, and they never do loss-making business, all that person wants is the young woman in front of him, but he is very tired of her mother who has become a drag, so on the way back to the village, he murdered the woman's mother.
As a child, she watched her mother being killed and forced to marry her enemy, of course she was unwilling, and of course she had to fight to the death. It's a pity that she's just a weak woman, struggling in vain, with nothing but more torment and pain on her.
At this time, the old man in your mouth appeared, and he told this woman a way, a way to get her revenge! ”
"How?"
"Willingly let the old man bow his head, become the old man's ghost slave, and then kill his enemy. At this point, the old man did not deceive you, because the mother and son of the Gou family were indeed killed by her. Not only was he killed by her, but like her, he became a puppet in the hands of the old man. ”
The fox said, casually pointing at the female ghost, and the female ghost immediately groaned in pain.
"How do you know it's a head-downer? In your Qingqiu, there should be no such statement! Xing Ruyi poked the fox curiously and asked in a low voice.
"What's so strange about that? You forget that in your hometown, Qingqiu is not a paradise. ”
"Oh yes!" Xing Ruyi suddenly remembered that the fox was the only fox emperor in the history of Qingqiu who was driven out of power by the clansmen with conspiracy and force, so he looked at him sympathetically, hugged his arm and asked, "And then?" You still haven't told me how you knew to lower your head. ”
"Since I know about Gu poison, how can I not know how to lower my head. This head lowering was originally evolved from Gu poison, and whether it is Gu poison or head lowering, they are all some small tricks that the monsters first used to trick people. It's just that this kind of small spell is a small fight between monsters, and it is deadly when used on humans. Although I, Qingqiu, disdain to use these little tricks, but not using it does not mean that I don't know or understand. ”
"So, what is in her?" Xing Ruyi raised his chin and asked, and suddenly a picture flashed in his mind, and then he said to himself: "I seem to know, I have seen this kind of picture of the head flying around, and the head drop seems to be called the head drop!" ”
"Probably the thing you said!" The fox said, frowning at the ghost mist in front of him, and waved his hand again. The ghostly fog cleared in an instant, and the night in front of me was as quiet as the countryside.
The ghost fog dissipated, and Xing Ruyi saw clearly that they had already walked to the door of the old man's house. His carriage was still parked there, there was an enchantment set by the fox before, and the bell was not affected by what had just happened, and he still slept soundly. Han'er fainted in her yard. The old man stood in the middle of the courtyard, bound by a transparent rope, and the old lady stood beside the old man with tears in her eyes, trying to break the rope. It's a pity that every time she takes a step, the rope will burn like fire, burning not only the old lady's soul, but also the old man's body.
Xing Ruyi couldn't bear it, looked at the rope and asked the fox, "What is that?" ”
"I specially asked someone else to borrow the bundle of immortal locks!"
"The old man is an immortal?"
"Of course not!" The fox smiled dumbly, "Look at his appearance, which point looks like a fairy." This bundle of immortal locks is just the name of this rope, not specifically used to bind the immortals, but to say that this rope is very strong, even if the immortals are tied by it, they can't break free. ”
"Could it be that this is the legendary magic weapon?"
"Anything that is used by a practitioner can be called a Dharma weapon. It's like the bronze mirror that Mo Xu gave you before, and it's also a magic weapon. It's just that you overuse it and use it as an ordinary mirror. ”
"I seem to remember when you say this, and it seems that you have said that the bronze mirror can see ghosts, and it can also let you see the true face of ghosts. Speaking of which, it's a bit like the legendary mirror of the demon! Xing Ruyi said, patting the small bag he was carrying: "Feelings these days, I have been abusing my magic weapon, sinful and guilty!" ”
The fox shook his head, did not say anything, but looked at the old man and said: "Your ghost slaves have all been arrested by me, as for those people in the village, with my family's wishes, it is not difficult to wake up." But you, before you die, what else do you have to say? ”
"Humph!" The old man changed his previous appearance, and his whole person became hideous: "It's just a fox who has become a spirit, and he is arrogant in front of me." ”
"What about you? It's just a monster who borrows the corpse to resurrect the soul, and compared to me, aren't you even less qualified to be arrogant? ”
"Humph!" The old man snorted coldly again and stopped talking.
The fox took Xing Ruyi aside and sat down, and ordered Li Mao to light the fire, put some scattered snacks, and heated a pot of peach blossoms to get drunk, and then he talked to Xing Ruyi without a word.
"Whether it's the story that this old man told you before, or the story I just told you, there is a person who is not mentioned."
"Who?"
"The child in her womb!" The fox said and pointed to the female ghost, then looked into the female ghost's eyes and said, "Do you also want to know whether the child in your womb is male or female, and where is she now?" ”
The female ghost glanced at the fox, then turned her head to the old man.
"You are carrying a girl in your womb, and a girl born in a lunar year. Do you remember the hour when you committed suicide by hanging a beam? He'll help you choose! The reason why he chose that hour for you to die was not only to use your body to refine the ghost slave, but also to make the child in your womb be born in the lunar year, because only the girl born at this hour is the child who meets his requirements. ”
The female ghost was red-eyed, although the child in her womb was the blood of the Gou family, but in the end, it was the child she conceived and gave birth to in October, as a mother, it was impossible not to have the slightest emotion. In order to take revenge, she was willingly refined into a ghost slave by the man in front of her, and he also promised her that he would help her keep the child in her womb and let her grow up safely. So all these years, she hasn't asked, what happened to her child?
"Don't worry, he didn't treat that child well, on the contrary, he treated her very well and raised her carefully." The fox said, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he pointed at the old lady who had been guarding the old man: "She is the child who was taken from your womb back then." Not only did she grow up smoothly, but she also married this man in the end, became his wife, and also bore him a son. ”
When the old lady and the female ghost heard this, they both looked at each other and shook their heads.
"It's hard to accept that it's not true, it's obviously my daughter, but now it's a ghost like myself, and even a ghost whose appearance and characteristics are much older than me. It's not surprising that you died in the prime of your youth, and your daughter, strictly speaking, was a happy mourner. The fox said, and tapped the old lady's ghost with his hand, and in an instant, the silver hair turned black, and the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out, and even her stature seemed to be a little taller.
When the brilliance on the old lady's body dissipated, Xing Ruyi saw the old lady's appearance clearly, at this time, she was only about ten ** years old, and the facial features, the expression inadvertently revealed between the eyebrows, was exactly the same as the female ghost opposite.
"It's really similar, not only the facial features look very similar, but even the demeanor between the eyebrows is also very similar, but ......" Xing Ruyi looked at the fox, looking like he was about to tell me the answer.
The fox touched her head: "Eat a bite of snack first, and I'll tell you!" ”
Xing Ruyi hurriedly took a bite of the mung bean cake and shook the fox's arm: "Say it quickly, say it quickly, the curious baby in my belly has been awakened by you!" ”
"A curious baby?" Siniang stared at Xing Ruyi's lower abdomen.
"Gee, it's not what you think." Xing Ruyi's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly explained to Siniang: "I mean, my curiosity is about to jump out of my chest. ”
"These words of yours are always very strange." Siniang also learned from the fox's previous appearance, both helpless and funny shook her head.
"Now, we already know the true identity of Grandma Han'er, so next, I want to ask you, have you ever guessed the true identity of this old man?" The fox raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked for the punishment.
"The real identity of the old man, of course, is Han'er's grandfather, what else is there to say. Oh, no, you just said that the old man is actually the gentleman back then, that is, the person in his mouth who initially calmed the curse of the Gou family and helped him save Han'er's life. But ......"
"But there's one more person, isn't it? If he was the gentleman back then, then where did Han'er's real grandfather go? The fox stretched out his finger and shook it in front of Xing Ruyi's eyes: "I also told Ruyi a word to you just now, that is, the story he told is partly false." Since the story is fake, then what he told before is the story about Mr., which he made up himself. ”
