Chapter 578: Collecting Birds (99)
As soon as I heard the old witch's words, I finally understood why Qing Xuanzi had asked the bride instead of Su Mengke before, presumably he knew the old witch's plans in advance.
Made, I cursed secretly, this old witch's temperament is so changeable that people can't figure it out at all.
Then, the old witch patted me on the shoulder a few times, didn't say anything more, but drove out all the bodyguards, and then drove Chen Tiannan and Wang Chuyao out, leaving only the corpses of me, Qing Xuanzi, the old witch and Su Mengke in the tent.
When they were gone, the old witch swept over us one by one and said, "This is the end of the marriage, and the rest depends on whether you are willing to help me." ”
She's not sick, is she? That's the only thought in my head. What puzzled me was that Qing Xuanzi actually agreed, "Xiaodao is willing to do his best." ”
At that moment, I asked Qing Xuanzi, "Dao Chief, are you okay?" How do you..."
He sighed and said, "Xiao Jiu, Xiao Dao's visit to the Ten Thousand Towers this time was ordered by the master, and many things were also unavoidable. ”
I asked him why, and he didn't speak for a long time, but it was the old witch who said a word to solve the doubts in my heart. She said: "Little Taoist, you still have the face to mention your master, if it weren't for him, the deity would not have become what it is now, but has a complete family, living a life of husband and children, the deity has been ruined in the hands of your master in this life, and you still have the face to mention him." ”
The more the old witch spoke, the more angry she became, her whole face was distorted together, she grabbed Qing Xuanzi by the collar, raised her hand and instigated it, and said angrily: "You have a virtue with your master, you are sanctimonious, if the deity fails this time, it will be your master who will be killed next time, you better treat the deity honestly, and then dare to be careful, the deity will stab your master's ugly things to the Metaphysics Association." ”
As soon as I heard this, I was stunned, and I looked at the old witch with incredible eyes, who had ruined the hands of Master Qing Xuanzi all her life, could it be that Master Qing Xuanzi was her old friend? No, this old witch looks a little old, her actual age is only in her forties, and Qing Xuanzi's master should be seventy or eighty, and it should be impossible for the two of them!
After thinking about it for a while, I really couldn't figure out what was going on between them, and I knew that from the time I saw Qing Xuanzi, he said that he would repay the favor for the master, what kind of favor did his master owe to the old witch? can make Qing Xuanzi follow the old witch's meaning so lowly.
What made me even more incredible was that after the Qing Xuanzi was beaten, he didn't fight back, and he didn't even dare to come out, but immediately stood behind the old witch, looking like he was completely taking the old witch as the master.
"Dao Chief, what kind of favor does your master owe her?" I couldn't suppress the doubts in my heart any longer.
He sighed, didn't speak, and just gave me a look, meaning to tell me not to ask again.
"Want to know?" The old witch came to me, looked at me with a smile, and said, "The deity has come to tell you that before the deity was sixteen years old, he was full of longing for the future like a normal girl, until his master appeared and completely disrupted the deity's life and substituted the deity from heaven to hell. ”
"What did he do to you?" I asked tentatively.
"Huh!" She sneered, "He didn't do anything to me, he just told the deity. ”
"What?" I asked curiously.
"Little girl, your face is blue, your eyebrows are twitching, and your ears are slightly drooping, this is a short-lived appearance, I'm afraid you won't live for twenty-eight years!" The old witch stared at Qing Xuanzi and said this word by word.
Hearing this, I looked at the old witch's face, her face was not short-lived, how could Master Qing Xuanzi say such a sentence for no reason?
At this moment, Qing Xuanzi spoke, he said: "Aunt Lian, the family teacher was chased and killed back then, and he didn't get a drop of water for five days, and he couldn't pull his face down to beg, he... He... He will say such things to deceive you, in the hope of bluffing you and making a little money to satisfy your hunger. ”
"Hahaha! Hahaha! The old witch laughed, "Make a little money to satisfy your hunger, he probably didn't think of the consequences of that!" When the deity heard that, he didn't give him a penny, but devoted himself to learning Gu art, rummaging through all the ancient books about Gu art in ancient and modern times, and finally let the deity find a way to kill people and prolong his life, and since then, the deity kills one person every year, all of which is given by your master, and all the sins should be borne by your master. ”
Listening to their words, I was stunned, just one sentence, changed the old witch? That's! Didn't Granny Qiao stop her back then? Or, after she learns Gu herself, she should also know some physiognomy, she should know that her physiognomy is fine.
So, I asked her: "You have devoted yourself to the study of Gu arts, you should know the art of face-to-face, and you should also know that you are by no means short-lived!" ”
She was stunned for a moment, did not speak directly, but took out the sheepskin and raised it, saying: "When the deity found out that he had been deceived, he had already killed two people at that time, and at the same time he was obsessed with the feeling of killing, and then by chance, the deity got this sheepskin, and the art of immortality recorded on it made the deity unable to extricate himself, so he planned for nearly 20 years, in order to live forever." Tonight, the deity is going to realize his dream and live with heaven and earth, hahahaha. ”
I didn't speak, I didn't want to speak, my mind began to think about the whole thing, if I guessed correctly, Qing Xuanzi's master was hungry and unbearable, so he told the old witch a nonsense, the purpose was to cheat some money to satisfy hunger, but the old witch at that time took that word seriously, really thought that she was only sixteen years old, so she wanted to prolong her life, wanted to live, and I didn't know where she saw a way to kill people and prolong her life, so she used that method.
When she found out that she had been deceived, she was already addicted to the feeling of killing people, and she made mistakes again and again. And Qing Xuanzi's master sent Qing Xuanzi to the Ten Thousand Towers, I am afraid that because of the guilt in his heart, he was not good to come forward, so he sent Qing Xuanzi to clean up the mess for himself, or rather, atonement for his sins.
Sometimes I have to say that many things are not very complicated in the first place, but we just think things are complicated. If it hadn't been for the old witch herself, I might never have known the story, and I would never have known that a lie could have taken so many lives.
Just when I was stunned, the old witch glanced at us and asked me in a playful tone: "Chen Jiu, the little Taoist priest also agrees to help the deity, what about you?" Do you want to live forever with the deity, or do you want to be the enemy of the deity? ”
I thought about it for a while, Yiqing Xuanzi's nature should not really help her, but have her own careful intentions. As for me, it's simpler, Mengke's yin marriage is not over yet, I can't give up halfway, I must finish the yin marriage.
At the moment, I spoke my mind to the old witch. After hearing this, she frowned, didn't speak, and stared at Su Mengke's corpse with a pair of eyes.
