This night, Li Yan did not sleep peacefully in the mountain temple. Physical discomfort, he has adapted to it over the years, the only thing he is not comfortable with is that there is a girl next to him, and there is also a girl with a red hijab and a red wedding dress in his dream.

He tossed and turned, a trace of cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Mu Xi looked at him with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.

"Grandpa Mountain God, did you already know that the bride in the coffin was his fiancée?"

Mu Xi raised his head and looked respectfully at the statue of the mountain god. A white light flashed from the top of the mountain god statue's head, and the face of the mountain god statue became vivid.

"The fate of the past life, the debt of the past life in this life, the sin of this life. Mu Xi, there are some things that are destined to be done in the dark. ”

"Mu Xi doesn't understand!"

"Grandpa Mountain God will tell you the truth, the woman in the coffin is indeed his fiancée. It's a pity that these two people are inseparable. This fate is the fate of the previous life, but the fate is not deep enough, so it becomes a debt in this life. You and him are also in love in the previous life, but this love is not the other, stay in this life, what will be the result, even the mountain god grandfather can't tell. ”

"Could it be that this is what others say, free arrangement in the dark?"

Mu Xi muttered and looked at Li Yan.

What Grandpa Shanshen said is not right, she and Li Yan not only have a relationship in the past life, but also in this life. A few years ago, she inadvertently escaped into the barracks to escape the catastrophe.

The barracks are all men, with heavy yang energy, murderous energy, and even heavier evil energy, which is the best place to avoid the catastrophe. But she broke into his tent by mistake.

At that time, he was just a small captain of the guard, but when he was drinking and chatting with others, and when he fell asleep, he sat alone in front of the lamp and candle, looking at the military book in his hand obsessively. Occasionally, he would hear a few taunts from others, but he just smiled and silently recited in his heart, the bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird.

She looked at him, and she was a little distracted. Accidentally, he fell from the top of the tent, impartially, and landed right in front of him.

She was a little flustered at the time, because she had to transform into a spider to avoid the catastrophe, and there was a time limit for casting spells. She was worried, what if she was pinched to death by him? But he just glanced at her and said, "Little thing, why are you so careless?" Next time, remember to weave the net stronger, otherwise, you will only be unlucky. ”

With that, he blew lightly at her, blowing her down under the table.

"Let's go, find a safe place to network!"

She listened to him, but she didn't move for a long time. Until he noticed her presence again, turned sideways, lowered his head, and gently touched her with the little tail finger of his right hand: "Little thing, let's go!" ”

She looked up and looked at him with a pair of spider eyes, only to find a faint smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. She seemed to be seeing him smile for the first time, and in the past, he always looked like he was preoccupied, as if he had a lot of things pressed on his heart. She didn't expect that his smile would be so pure and natural.

The little heart beat twice in her body, and she turned around and quickly crawled out of the tent, hiding in the bushes beside her. She knew that there was a time limit for suffering from the catastrophe, and as long as she survived this time, she could survive until next year safely. As for next year, whether to continue to dodge or bite the bullet is something to consider at this time next year.

But God seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and the whole night was quiet, with neither lightning nor thunder, nor any violent winds or torrential rain. In the second half of the night, the moonlight broke through the clouds and shone on the milky white tents of the barracks.

The campfire was still burning, the air was filled with the smell of meat and wine, and the rude snoring of the soldiers could be heard in your ears.

Such a scene, to a certain extent, gave Mu Xi the illusion that the catastrophe had been avoided. She stretched and cautiously poked her head out of the bushes, and just as her spell was about to end and return to her true form, a thunderbolt suddenly came and exploded around her.

Mu Xi withstood the catastrophe and passed the most important level of her cultivation. Since then, she has had the ability to transform into a humanoid form. Before she fell unconscious, she had his appearance in her mind's eye.

When Mu Xi opened his eyes again, he found that he was still lying in the barracks. It's just that at this time, she is no longer the body, nor is she a spider, but a person, a living person who can lie on a wooden bed.

In her confusion, she survived the most important tribulation in her cultivation, and since then, she has the appearance of being a human anytime and anywhere. She didn't know what she looked like after she became a human, only that she was injured, and it was very badly burned. So much so that through the eyes of the military doctor, all she saw was a white "silkworm chrysalis" wrapped in white cotton.

"Doctor Wang, how is she? Can you just come over? ”

"Compared to the rest of the barracks, her injuries weren't serious. It's just that this face is estimated to be ruined. The military doctor shook his head: "I have to see other patients, she is here, if she can survive tonight, there will be nothing to do." ”

Mu Xi watched the old military doctor carrying the medicine box and staggering away from the camp, and then heard Li Yan comforting softly in his ear: "Don't worry, the old military doctor said that you won't die." ”

"I" Mu Xi tried to speak, but found that his voice was thick and hoarse, very ugly, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach in time.

"You're a nearby villager, aren't you? I've heard that a lot of villagers have been coming to our barracks at night lately. Did your family also suffer, and there was no food at home, so you wanted to go to the barracks to steal some military supplies? ”

Mu Xi looked at Li Yan blankly and shook his head gently.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about you." Li Yan said, took off the cloth bag he was carrying, and put it beside Mu Xi: "Tonight, dry thunder suddenly fell from the sky, burning a few tents and injuring many people. You, too, are one of them. Luckily, you're not seriously injured, and you'll be able to leave tomorrow morning.

Also, don't worry, this tent belongs to Dr. Wang, and he promised me that he would help you leave tomorrow morning. This bag contains my rations, which is not much, but it can help your family support you for a few days. ”

Mu Xi knew that Li Yan had misunderstood, she was not a nearby villager, and she didn't need Li Yan's rations. But at this time, there seemed to be something wrong with her voice, except for being able to produce that kind of coarse and indistinct words, she couldn't say a word.

Li Yan looked at Mu Xi's eyes for a long, long time before turning his head: "I know, you are strange in your heart, I have a life with you, why should I help you." Actually, I don't know. You take the rations, don't worry about me, at least in this barracks, I can't go hungry. Also, this tent belongs to Dr. Wang, and others don't know you're here. When it is daylight, you go out from behind your tent.

I've cut down the fence over there. From here, you only have to force a short distance to see the village. Remember, things in the army are not easy to take, don't come back in the future"

Li Yan said, lifted the quilt, pressed the ration bag under her hand, which was not seriously injured, and then got up and left the tent.

Mu Xi is a demon, and the recovery ability of the monster is amazing. Therefore, before dawn, she was already able to get out of bed and move, and even use some simple spells. Taking advantage of the darkness before dawn, she quietly sneaked to Li Yan's camp and looked at him seriously.

At this time, Li Yan was a little different from the previous two times he saw him. In his sleep, he was like a child in fear. His body is on extreme alert and ready to fight. Inexplicably, Mu Xi felt a slight pain in his heart.

This catastrophe did not kill Mu Xi, but instead brought her cultivation to a new level. Originally, these were things to celebrate, except for her face.

In order to repair her face, Mu Xi went to many places and tried many methods, and finally, she came to this mountain temple and asked for help from the mountain god's grandfather. Grandpa Yamagami gave her a way to repair her appearance, and that solution was to peel off a fresh human skin, make a mask, and stick it to her own face.

Although this method cannot cure the root cause, it can cure the symptoms. She is Mu Xi, she is a monster, she wants to see Li Yan again, so there is a small voice in her heart saying, it is okay to treat the symptoms, anyway, ordinary humans can't tell the difference, as long as she is careful, more careful, she can perfectly deceive Li Yan's eyes.

Fresh human skins are easy to find.

It was an ordinary house hidden in the countryside, but in the middle of the night, a terrible and terrifying cry came from the house. She followed the sound to find it, she wanted to see a curiosity and find a lively scene, but she didn't want to see a human tragedy.

The girl in the wedding dress was nailed alive in the coffin, and her beautiful face was filled with fear in addition to tears. She sat on the roof of the house, holding her chin, watching everything that happened in the room, and when she saw the old butler nailing the seven-inch wooden nail to the girl, she even felt the chill in the middle of the night.

Mu Xi knew that this girl had absolutely no chance of survival. Not only will they not be able to live, but even their souls will be imprisoned in this coffin for eternity and eternity. She looked at her beautiful, helpless, terrified face, and suddenly felt that God had given her another chance. The girl's face was beautiful enough and fresh enough, and all she had to do was to rip the skin off the girl's face.

When he thought so, Mu Xi also acted. She floated slowly into the room, fixed the time with a spell, and at the moment when the coffin lid was about to close, she peeled off the girl's face, leaving her ugly face as ghostly in the girl's eyes.

Mu Xi read the despair in the girl's eyes, but she couldn't care about it anymore. She took the girl's face and let the stopped time continue to flow forward. It's just that she didn't expect that the next encounter with Li Yan would be in the mountain temple, and the cheek she used came from his former fiancée.

Between her and Li Yan, after all, it is still providence to make people!
