Chapter 078: Blood Rouge (8)
Xing Ruyi squatted on the ground, looked at the pool of blood in front of him and the white embroidered shoes next to the blood, and pushed Mo You, who was also squatting on the ground, with his hand: "You say, is the fox a little ruthless?" ”
"It's a little ruthless, and there is not even a trace of soul left." He shook his head with pity, not daring to look at the person he was talking about.
The fox tugged at the corners of his mouth, poked the little man in his arms, and asked him, "Am I ruthless?" ”
Yin Yuan shook his head, there was obvious rejection in his eyes, obviously he was unwilling to participate in the discussion of this topic.
It turned out that the woman who was dormant in the dark, dressed in white clothes and white shoes, and holding a white umbrella, was not Xiuxiu, but Xiuhe. In unwarranted words, she is also a poor girl.
Wei Cun has relied on the craft of forging for generations, but this craft girl can't learn, not because it's too difficult, but because the natural strength is not enough. Therefore, even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty when the Holy Empress was in power, Wei Cun still favored men. There are many boys in this family, and they are harder to walk than others. Xiuhe originally had an older brother, but when he was three years old, he died unexpectedly. Later, Xiuhe's mother gave birth to her with dystocia, and although she barely saved her life, she lost the ability to give birth. However, on Xiuhe's mother's side, there is still some power, although the village chief is unwilling, he does not dare to divorce his wife and marry another, and as for concubines or something, he does not dare to mention it. Therefore, for this daughter, the village chief can be described as both pampered and hated. Spoil her because she is the only root in her life, and hate her because of her arrival, so that she has no queen. But anyway, in the early years, Xiuhe was still quite happy.
Later, the village chief picked up Xiuxiu. Because of that quilt, the village chief was selfish. First, he hoped that he could get some benefits from Xiuxiu's biological parents by raising Xiuxiu, and secondly, the village chief also saw that the materials used in the package were official, and even the grade was not low, so he hoped that in addition to the benefits, he could get something else, such as Xiuxiu's biological parents could help him suppress his wife and allow him to take another concubine or something. Of course, these are all wishful thinking on the part of the village chief, not to mention that Xiuxiu's origin is a mystery, even if there are really biological parents, and the biological daughter has been hunted down and killed so far, most of the parents are no longer alive.
Later, the village chief also figured out these things, so he criticized Xiuxiu harshly, and only then did he agree to the proposal of the Xue family's master and treat Xiuxiu as a business to operate.
We can't know what Xiuxiu thinks in her heart, but as far as Xiuhe is concerned, what she sees is that because of Xiuxiu's arrival, her father is becoming more and more alienated from her. The originally envious eyes in the village no longer belong to him, and the best man in the village has nothing to do with him. Jealousy and hatred are like demons, growing up little by little in her heart.
She hated Xiuxiu, but she envied her face, so she sent a ghost to buy blood rouge privately and change her face. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, Xiuxiu died in vain, the lonely soul is uneasy, and the stolen face still has to be returned to its owner after all.
"You told the story of the middle of the night, but you didn't explain, how did this Xiuhe die? Why did she die at the village monument in Wei Village? And why did she hurt me? Why is she trapped here? ”
Xing Ruyi asked a few whys, and he was dizzy when he asked, so he quickly moved to the side. It's a pity that he only moved a small step, and he was grabbed by Xing Ruyi's clothes: "Say! Why! ”
The fox raised his eyebrows, broke Xing Ruyi's hand away, and said lightly: "Men and women can't stand it clearly, and the lady should respect herself!" ”
A lady, the sentence called Ruyi's heart is numb and sweet, but there are too many questions in his heart, and he can't care to ask the fox, is he jealous.
"Say, how did Xiuhe die? Don't tell this girl you don't know! ”
"I know, I know, I really don't know, and after being intimidated by the girl, I have to say that I don't know." Without saying anything, he quietly took a step back: "Speaking of which, this Xiuhe is also pitiful." On the wedding night, the stolen face was asked back by the original owner, and the borrowed identity was also exposed. On the side of the eldest prince of Wei, although he didn't embarrass her, he ignored her, let her fend for herself, and kept saying that in this life and this life, there is only one wife, and that is Xiuxiu. When Xiuhe heard this, he was naturally angry and sad, but with a skinless face, he could only find a hole to hide like a mouse. Maybe it's providence, maybe it's retribution in the dark, after the madness of this Wei Village, he actually broke into that place. When he saw Xiuhe, he naturally regarded him as Xiuxiu, so on a night of lightning and thunder, the father covered his daughter to death. Although he was crazy, the village chief was still a little afraid in his heart, so he dragged Xiuhe outside the village and threw him under the village monument. Who knows, under this monument, there is still a tomb, which happened to be washed out by the heavy rain, and Xiuhe's bones were washed away by the heavy rain and also fell in. The evil here, and the nature of being towned by the village monument is not a good stubble, so Xiuhe became the slave of the ghost and was driven by enslavement. ”
"So, what about that thing?" Xing Ruyi perceived with ghost magic, and in this radius of a hundred miles, there was no breath of any evil ghost except for the thick dead air.
Mo Xuyou pointed at the fox and said, "Oh, I was disposed of by the immortals." ”
"In that case, why does Xiuhe still need me to save it?"
The meaning of the smile was profound, and he stood up slowly: "This ghost saving is the same as saving people, some want to save lives, and some want things other than life-saving." For example, this Xiuhe, after Shangxian got rid of that thing, she was already free, and she could leave Wei Village, go to reincarnation, and wander around. But why didn't she leave? Because of her face, she didn't want to wander around with a faceless grimace. Before her death, she had low self-esteem because of her appearance, and after her death, she became a ghost, and she still couldn't get rid of this demon. Therefore, she deliberately created an illusion and deliberately gave the girl blood rouge, and the picture was just the girl's face. It's a pity that she didn't expect that the girl herself was extraordinary, and the immortals around the girl were even more extraordinary, not only breaking her phantom town, but also pulling her out. So, if you want to fight hard, you usually have only one outcome, that is, your soul is scattered, leaving a pool of blood and water. ”
Xing Ruyi understood and heard clearly, so she stood up angrily, looked at the fox and asked, "She wants my face, it turns out that her purpose is to want my face!" ”
The fox nodded, without words.
Xing Ruyi added to himself: "It turns out that I still look good." ”
The fox tilted and barely stood still.
"My family is ruyi, it's already pretty good-looking."
"Hey! It's because she's so good-looking that she is remembered for her cheekiness. Xing Ruyi covered her face arrogantly, but suddenly remembered the corpse spots on her face, so she pulled the unwarranted again: "What should I do with the things on my face?" Xiuhe is dead, can't I get rid of this spot? ”
"The girl was worried about this." Mo Xuyou shook his head, took out a bronze mirror from the cloth bag he was carrying, and handed it to Xing Ruyi: "Girl, look at it again, is there something wrong with your face?" ”
Xing Ruyi raised the bronze mirror suspiciously, although the light was darker, there seemed to be no obvious traces on the sides of his cheeks, that is, the two corpse spots were missing.
"As the saying goes, people die like lights go out, and when this ghost dies, there is nothing left. Well, it's not like there's nothing left, at least one shoe left. Mo pointed to the ground, the original white embroidered shoes had been turned into a paper shoe at this time, and when the wind blew, Hulala followed and blew away.
"Everything has been understood, what about you, where are you going?" Xing Ruyi looked at his face again, looked left and right, and saw that the corpse spots were indeed gone, so he handed the bronze mirror back to Mo Xuyou. There was no need, but he didn't reach out to take it.
"This bronze mirror, as my gift to the girl, although it is not a valuable thing, but it is lightweight, easy to carry, the girl may use it when she goes out." Mo Xuyou shook the dust in his hand: "As for Xiaodao, I want to go over for these innocent forgers, as well as those children, I hope they can turn into reincarnation and reincarnate in a good family in the next life." ”
"Unexpectedly, in addition to gossip, you are also a good-hearted cultivator."
"Look at what the girl said, cultivators are similar to cultivators of Buddhism, and they both have a compassionate heart. Besides, the girl, a cultivator of ghosts, has good thoughts, so how dare we, who are cultivators, fall behind the girl. On this day, it will soon be bright, and the girl and the fairy, as well as this little brother, should also go back to rest. ”
Without saying anything, he made a common Taoist send-off gift, and then without waiting for the punishment to speak, he turned around and walked towards the village.
"Do you know who he is?" The fox looked at the unwarranted back and asked in a low voice in Xing Ruyi's ear.
"There's no need! He said it himself. Xing Ruyi pointed to the unwarranted: "Of course, I know it's just a fake name, but as he said himself, the name is just a code name." Whether it is unnecessary, unnecessary, or not, in the end, the person we see is him. ”
"His name is Yuan Tiangang!" The fox exhaled lightly and said a name that made Xing Ruyi feel familiar.
"Yuan Tiangang? I feel like I've heard the name. ”
"Of course you've heard of it." The fox's eyes darkened: "Yuan Tiangang, a native of Chengdu in Yizhou in the early Tang Dynasty, a famous scholar in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, your favorite bone fortune telling was from this person's hand." In the former Sui Dynasty, he served as a salt official, and after the Tang Dynasty, he served as a volcano commander. The most legendary place in his life is that he once saw the appearance of the Empress Wu, and when the Empress Wu was young, he once said that the dragon pupil and phoenix neck were extremely expensive! If she is a woman, she shall be regarded as the Son of Heaven. ”
"Are you kidding me?" Xing Ruyi raised his eyes to look at the fox, crossed his fingers and calculated, "Although I am not good at arithmetic, I also know that if this Yuan Tiangang is still alive, he will be at least more than a hundred years old." But the Taoist priest in front of him, at best, is only in his thirties and early forties. ”
"There are such beings as you and me in this world, so what is so strange about Yuan Tiangang, who is more than a hundred years old, has become a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties? Perhaps, the next time we see him, he'll be a young man in his twenties. ”
"Rejuvenation? The more you live, the younger you get! Xing Ruyi shook his head with a sigh: "If this is the case, this Yuan Tiangang is really everyone's dream." ”
