Chapter 5: The Snake Demon
The flowers bloom brilliantly, and the snakes lie in the middle.
The snake demon was disturbed by my beauty, and did not hesitate to break his own cultivation and asked me to be his wife.
He has the appearance of a human being, handsome and graceful.
But between the eyebrows, it is difficult to hide a trace of demon evil.
I looked at his greedy look, sprinkled a sneer, and said, "Since ancient times, shemales have taken different paths, how can they become husband and wife? ”
The snake demon showed a row of sharp teeth, and said solemnly: "Then how can there be two women in this world who love each other?" ”
I shuddered.
He also heard the legend of me and Du Sanniang.
At that moment, an unconcealable sadness arose.
If even the snake demon mocks the despicable love affair, why should the worldly people be tolerant of it?
My heart tingled, and my face turned pale for a moment.
I said, "Why do you have to say these mean things to me, since you know everything?" ”
Even if the snake demon laughs, it will always be cold.
With a hint of cruelty in his grim smile, he said unhurriedly: "Because, I like you!" ”
What a true, kind and beautiful language.
Didn't Du Sanniang and I also talk about it?
But at the moment, it sounds so ridiculous to my ears.
The snake demon's eyes flashed with a scorching blue glow: "What, is there something wrong with me?" ”
I bit my lip and said coldly: "But I will always have Du Sanniang in my heart!" ”
The basilisk approached me, with a cold, fishy smell that made my hair tremble.
He stared at my face tightly, sneered and said, "But Du Sanniang is just a woman, and it is against heaven for a woman to fall in love with a woman." ”
I shook my head, didn't say anything more, and didn't want to explain anything to him.
Perhaps, for me, the explanation is obviously superfluous.
I know, no matter how much I say, who will allow this intolerable love?
What's more, he is just a snake demon who cultivates the world, and he naturally loses his patience.
Just when he revealed his true nature and wanted to use it, I struggled and suddenly found that there was a peach blossom brand on his wrist.
The peach blossoms are red and vivid.
It's like blood, with a shocking hideousness.
I bit him so hard that he let go of his hand in pain.
He scolded: "You! ”
I hurriedly pulled out the golden hairpin on my neck and said sadly: "If you use force, I will die for you!" ”
A hint of cunning flashed in the snake demon's eyes, and a word came out of his mouth coldly: "Good!" ”
I don't know what he meant by saying "good," but I could see the viciousness in his eyes.
My heart was cold, and I had a sense of foreboding.
The snake demon disappeared with a sinister smile.
When he came like a gust of wind, when he went it was a dream.
It's a nightmare!
In my dreams, I could hear the snake demon laughing hideously.
I also saw him pointing at me and saying very fiercely to a woman: "Du Sanniang, as long as you say that you don't want to be with her, I will let you go!" ”
This woman is Du Sanniang.
She looked at me, trembling all over, although she was very scared, but she still said firmly: "She was spurned by the world because of me, and was kicked out of the house by my father and mother, if I have a choice, I am still willing to accompany her for the rest of my life!" ”
This sentence was like a sharp knife, and it immediately stabbed the snake demon fiercely.
The snake demon's face was entangled for a moment, emitting a terrifying blue light.
A scarlet tongue spit out of his mouth and swam across Du Sanniang's smooth face.
Du Sanniang didn't have a look of fear.
She looked at me with a smile in her eyes and said resolutely: "If you can live for love, you are willing to die for love!" ”
My heart trembled!
When Du Sanniang fell, the dream had woken up in the brilliant morning light.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Du Sanniang.
She was dressed in a beautiful red dress, and she was lying quietly beside me, as if she was asleep, and a pleasant smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she was dreaming sweetly.
Did she see me in my dreams too?
But she would never wake up, and she would never sleep in her dreams.
Because the evil snake demon put the most vicious curse on her, leaving her in a dark coffin forever, turned into a living dead, never to be awakened again.
This kind of charm is the "Peach Blossom Mantra".
I hate this evil snake demon so much, but I'm just a human woman born for love, what can I do with him?
The snake demon spat out the blood-red snake letter, and said viciously: "As long as you marry me, I can revive her." ”
I held Du Sanniang's soft and warm body in pain, but I forgot the pain in my heart.
Tears have long dried up in the spitting of the world, without Du Sanniang, how can I live alone?
The breeze ruffled my soft hair, revealing my snow-white and delicate neck.
With a wave of his hand, a striking blood stain rendered the pale whiteness of this piece of reincarnation.
As soon as I gave it lightly, the hairpin pierced into my body.
The blood on my body gradually stained the flowers of the dark night, and my warm body became colder and colder, and the afterglow of my eyes was gradually drowned out by the darkness.
The snake demon man obviously didn't expect me to fight back with death, and looked at me as I gradually lost my temperature, shaking his head and sighing.
After a long time, he said: "If you are alive, as long as you say 'I love you' to Du Sanniang seven times on the night of Qixi Festival, then you can lift the spell on Du Sanniang's body." It's a pity that you chose death! ”
I can't hear it anymore, my past life, including all my wrongs, died suddenly at that moment.
But my soul felt the horror of that spell.
I suddenly realized: I'm dead, what should Sanniang do? Do you want her to be a living dead forever?
She became like this for me, and I must save her and revive her.
My ethereal soul wanders in every dark corner of the world, becoming a lonely ghost with nowhere to go.
Every time I see how many men and women in the world are in love with each other, I think of Du Sanniang.
I was so sad and sad that I wanted to cry without tears.
A month after my death, my wandering soul came to the Yuelao Temple, which specializes in the relationship between men and women in the world.
I would like to ask him, why is it that our interdependence is not tolerated by the world?
Isn't the love of two women love?
Yue Lao's kind face was gloomy.
He seemed to have nothing to say, but he was already touched by our unwavering love.
After a long time, he said faintly: "To solve the peach blossom curse, you must turn into a human body, find her on the night of Qixi Festival, and sincerely say seven times I love you, so that Du Sanniang can wake up." ”
He also said, "Your body is ruined now, so go and be reincarnated!" ”
I was sad and said, "I will be reincarnated as a new man, and I will be a woman in my next life, but I can't lose this memory!" ”
Nai He Bridge,
Meng Po soup.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get through that cycle.
I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize Du Sanniang again!
Yue Lao looked at me, and suddenly there was a glittering light in his eyes.
He knew what I meant.
He's a good god and really helped me.
So, in this life, I was reincarnated as a woman again with the memories of my previous life.
Thinking of this, I only felt miserable in my heart, and in a trance, I unconsciously muttered to myself: "And I will never regret it!" ”
There was a loud "snap" on the ground, and then someone shouted: "Good boy, you still don't repent?" ”
I suddenly came back to my senses, and then I realized that I had knelt on top of the prefect's hall at some point.
I saw that in the middle of the lobby, a plaque "Mirror Hanging", reflecting the whole hall white.
The officials on both sides stared at me like cannibals, and the eyebrow sticks in their hands sounded majesticly.
In the center of the lobby sat an official with a dim face and thin eyebrows, who was the prefect Qian who had been in the corpse for 20 years and had not forgotten the vegetarian meal.
Ai Xiao stood beside him, looking at me with an anxious face, and cried out again and again in his heart: "It's over!" Finished! How can a good person come up with a sentence that he will never regret it, isn't this looking for death? ”
Qian Zhifu slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted: "The prisoner raises his head!" ”
I looked up at him without a hint of fear.
At this time, I knew that it was useless to be afraid.
Qian Zhifu was annoyed that I didn't know what to do, stared at me fiercely with a pair of fine eyes, and when he saw the appearance of me, a "young tomb robber", for some reason, his expression changed, as if he had found something surprising on my face, and his eyes widened and he looked at it carefully.
After a while, he asked with a smile on his face: "What's your name?" ”
I replied, "Brother! ”
Qian Zhifu's face sank, and he shouted: "Nonsense, I'm asking your real name!" For example, the surname Yan, what is the name. ”
I was more shocked than stunned.
How did he know my surname was Yan?
Qian Zhifu's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and when he saw my shocked look, he finally laughed knowingly: "Good boy, it seems that you are hopeless!" ”
I have nothing to say, and sometimes even I feel like I am hopeless.
Soon, Qian Zhifu shouted "retreat", ending this court trial that everyone felt inexplicable.
As he entered the back hall, he looked back at me again, and there was a strange sparkle in his eyes.
Ai Xiao stomped her feet again and again with a bitter face, and came over and said, "What's wrong with you?" Did you think of something again? ”
I looked blankly and numbly into his eager eyes, and did not answer.
When I returned to the cell, it was already noon, and the sunny day suddenly changed to rain.
The sound of the rain taunted and irritated, drifting in through the small window of the cell.
Seeing my dejected face, the tomb god grabbed the iron fence and shouted in surprise: "Why, don't cut off your head?" ”
Ai Xiao glared at him, and said angrily, "What do you mean?" ”
The tomb god smiled and said, "Little old man, I care about it!" ”
He turned to eat and laughed.
Ai laughed helplessly and said, "What's so funny, and turned his back to laugh." ”
He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, and it was obvious that the old man's funny attitude made him laugh.
I sat weakly on the floor, leaning my back against the wall, trying to calm myself, but my head was always fluctuating.
After a while, I suddenly asked Ai Xiao, "Will I be beheaded?" ”
Ai smiled anymore, and even the most helpless smile suddenly froze, and only said after a while: "I originally wanted to say more good things for you, but ...... But...... And suddenly you ......"
My heart sank, and I knew what he meant.
If it weren't for my inexplicable remark "I will never regret it", the truth might have taken a turn for the better.
Ai joked and said, "But Lord Qian is a little strange today, usually his interrogation of prisoners is not so simple. Moreover, he also asked if your surname is Yan, is it ...... Does he recognize you? ”
I also remembered the strange eyes that Mr. Qian looked back at me when he left the hall, and I felt a little uneasy.
Someone like the prefect of Qian, when he says he wants to cut off a person's head, it is not terrible.
And when his eyes suddenly become strange, but he says something that makes you scratch your head, it is terrifying.
Ai Xiao was afraid that I would be sad, so she pretended to smile meaninglessly and said, "But you don't have to think about it, take a good rest, I'll help you go and listen, maybe things will take a turn for the better?" ”
I really don't know how to appreciate him, and his concern makes me a little uneasy.
I have no relatives with him, and I am a grave robber, why does he care so much about and help me?
I watched him walk out of the cell and said gratefully, "Thank you!" ”
Ai Xiao smiled back and said nothing.
The Tomb God suddenly giggled, a little nervous.
I said, "What are you laughing at?" ”
The tomb god stroked a handful of white flowers, pretended to be profound, and said, "I dare to pack a ticket, this kid likes you!" ”
I was taken aback and glared at him in surprise: "You...... Say...... He...... Did he like me? ”
The tomb god gloated and said, "Well, even I like you a little, let alone his boy?" ”
My face turned crimson, and I shook my head again and again, "You...... You are talking nonsense, and he doesn't know that I am a woman, how can he like me? ”
The tomb god laughed, as if he was overjoyed: "He doesn't know? What do ghosts believe? Look at the way he looks at you. Ouch, my good ......"
Looking at the strange demeanor of the tomb god Guli, I couldn't help but be angry and funny, but my heart was inexplicably flustered.
I couldn't help but believe his words.
Is Ai Xiao's concern for me because she likes me?
But how could he know that I was a woman?
I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, and I looked at the tomb god's playful smile, and I became a little suspicious.
Seeing that I was uncertain, the tomb god sighed and said, "Do you know who he is?" ”
I looked at the tomb god for a moment.
The tomb god wandered out, muttered softly, and said: "Last year, the snow-capped mountains and willows flew away, regretting not being at the beginning, hating Liancheng, don't put blood in red clothes!" ”
I was a little dazed as I listened.
The tomb god said, "These are the six doors and the four famous catches!" ”
I was taken aback and said, "You mean to say that he is ......"
The tomb god didn't say anything more.
I thought about what the Tomb God had just said, and I couldn't help but be fascinated.
In the years when I robbed the tomb with Ah San, I also heard the legend about the four masters of the six doors, and it is said that these are four heroic men and women who make people's blood boil.
They entered the official position, full of justice, and the injustices in the world became the idols of countless young men and women in the world for a while.
But I would never have imagined that one of the four famous catchers in the legend would actually meet here.
But Ai Xiao, it's not Liu Feijue, it's not hating Liancheng, it's not Hui Chuchu, it's not blood red, how can it be the four masters of the six doors?
Is it the same as me, just using a pseudonym?
I looked at the tomb god suspiciously.
But the tomb god has been leisurely, closing his eyes and recuperating.
By the end of the day, the rain outside had long since stopped, and a cool breeze poured in from the window.
Ai Xiao never came, and the lights jumped slightly in waiting, like a dancing woman.
Dancing in red clothes, I can't say how glamorous and beautiful!
I suddenly remembered Du Sanniang again.
Her voice and smile, her dancing, seemed to burn in the lamplight, and then turned into a light green smoke, and swept away.
I was so affectionate that I opened my mouth to shout: "Sanniang, don't go!" ”
When the words came to his mouth, he woke up suddenly.
The tomb god grabbed the iron bar, and asked me, "What, are you dreaming again?" ”
I nodded, only to feel a chill in my vest.
I couldn't contain the flutter in my heart, and I almost cried and said, "You know what? Sanniang she ...... She's still suffering, I ...... But I can't get her out......"
The tomb god scratched his head, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Slow! Slow! You say Sanniang, who is Sanniang? You...... You want to save her, and ...... What's going on? ”
I knew that I had lost my words, and my voice trembled, and I said, "It's useless to tell you, and it's useless to tell you......"
The tomb god smiled and said, "Hehe, how do you know it's useless?" Aren't you going to learn how to rob tombs? I can teach you! ”
My heart moved, and I looked at him unconsciously.
The tomb god said, "You said that you learned to rob tombs just to find someone." As long as you learn to rob tombs, there will be more chances to find her, right? ”
I was happy in my heart, but I immediately became sad again: "I'm going to die, even if I don't die, I don't know if I can get out of here, even if I learn to rob tombs, what's the use?" ”
The tomb god's face sank, his white brows furrowed, and he shouted, "Who said you were going to die? Didn't the guy surnamed Qian cut off your head today? ”
After a pause, he said angrily: "What's more, what about the old man and me? ”
I don't know why he was so emotionally changeable, and said gloomily, "What can you do? You can't help me. ”
The tomb god scratched his head again, anxious: "Are you stupid?" I have money, I can buy you to stay here, can't I buy you? ”
When I heard this, Fang Jue was a little moved: "But ......"
The tomb god glared and said, "But what is it, don't you believe me?" ”
I quickly shook my head and said, "No, it's not ......."
The tomb god lay down on the rotten grass beside him, crossed his feet, and said with a leisurely look, "How is it?" Don't you worship me as a teacher? ”
I hesitated, but I couldn't help the longing in my heart, and quickly knelt down, kowtowed three times, and shouted, "Master!" ”
The tomb god was very proud, humming a song, and said repeatedly: "Not bad, what a good apprentice!" ”
My unhappiness dissipated with a bang, and I was immediately full of joy and hope, and said, "Master, can you teach me the skill of robbing tombs?" ”
The tomb god glared, pursed his lips and said, "What? In such a hurry? ”
