Chapter 41: Fruitless
When I woke up, I found myself in a bed with a man sitting next to it.
This man actually cried at night.
I was a little surprised and wondered how he could be here.
I asked him, "What's going on?" Where am I? ”
Night Cry said lightly: "I saved you!" ”
I was slightly stunned, not understanding what he meant.
Night cried and said: "After He Zai and Bai Yi left yesterday, He Zai was afraid that you would leak their traces, and then instigated Bai Yi to come back and want to kill you, but I happened to accidentally bump into it, so I saved you!"
I was amazed and said, "Impossible, how could they kill me?" ”
The night cry said: Don't forget the bald head Ah San, once this person becomes selfish, it is more terrible than anything else!
I was taken aback and thought to myself, how can I know these things when I cry at night?
It's just that he said that he was instigating Bai Yi to kill me, so I naturally wouldn't believe it.
Although my approach ultimately disappointed He Zai.
But I'm sure he's not that kind of person.
Naturally, the white clothes are not!
I looked out the window and saw a shallow moon slanting westward, and suddenly thought that I cried at night and said that it was last night that I saved me, so tonight is Tanabata.
I was so anxious that I begged for the night to cry, saying, "Night cry, take me back to the ancient tomb of yesterday!" ”
Night Cry looked at me in surprise and said, "What are you going to do back?" ”
I said, "I want to save Du Sanniang, I want to lift the peach blossom spell on her, I can't miss this Qixi Festival again." ”
Night Cry's face changed, and he said, "What did you say? I don't think it's getting early, and besides, we're all far away from the tomb, so why don't we go back tomorrow? ”
I don't care about it, I finally found Du Sanniang, I can't lose it anymore.
I struggled to get up, but he wouldn't let me.
I suddenly saw a blood-red peach blossom on his wrist as well.
I was so scared that my face turned white!
Just at this moment, I heard someone talking outside the window: "Second brother, you take a few people to block the back door, I'm at the front door, let's fight back and forth, we can't let him run away again this time." ”
Night Cry clapped my hands, looked out the window and said, "Don't be afraid, you wait for me for a while, I'll go and drive them away!" ”
He only thought I was afraid, but he was afraid of the people outside the window.
Because I could hear that the person talking outside was the pointed head Ah San.
But what I'm really afraid of is the blood-red peach blossom on my wrist when I cry at night.
In my previous life, I had seen it on the snake demon's wrist.
It's this peach blossom, this damn peach blossom spell, that made me and Du Sanniang suffer for two lifetimes.
The light skill of crying at night seems to be very good, and it is gone after a while.
Soon the clashing of weapons and the shouting of people could be heard in the darkness outside.
Then, the night cried and said: "Ah San, you are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, I will help you kill the tomb god, and you will come to kill me?" ”
Ah San said: "No way, I can't leave you alive in the world!" ”
There was another clash of weapons.
I was shocked and scared.
It turned out that the assassin who killed the master's tomb god was actually crying at night.
And the person behind the scenes is Ah San.
Thirty years ago, Ah San failed to kill the tomb god.
Thirty years later, he still can't let go of the tomb god.
My heart was filled with hatred for a moment.
In this world, the king's law has been lost, but there is a truth.
That is: death to the murderer!
The window suddenly opened, and with a gust of night wind, the white clothes swept in, took my hand, and whispered, "Brother, come with me?" ”
I was slightly startled and said, "Baiyi, why are you here?" ”
Bai Yi was a little anxious and said, "Let's get out of here first!" ”
Without saying a word, he pulled me into a dense wood.
I was dragged by him to run as fast as I could through the woods, and all that was in my mind was chaos, so chaotic that I forgot the pain of the thorns in the jungle that cut through my skin.
I don't understand, how did he come?
Could it be that he was also reincarnated here in a previous life?
I don't know how long it took, but we finally stopped by a stream in a bamboo forest.
The moonlight is brighter, and it shines in the flowing water.
Bai Yi looked at me and said, "Brother, you... What's wrong? His face was frighteningly pale. Did I just pull you to run too fast? ”
I came back to my senses and looked at him without answering.
At this moment, my mind is full of Du Sanniang's shadow.
I looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and I didn't bother to wipe the fine beads of sweat on my forehead, and said anxiously: "Baiyi, where are we?" Take me to that tomb? ”
Bai Yi looked up at Yeyue and said, "Brother, I'm afraid it's too late." ”
I was so anxious that I wanted to run but I didn't know the east, south, west, and northwest, and I cried in a panic.
Bai Yi hugged me and said, "Brother, don't be like this, at any time, even if the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, you still have me!" ”
I struggled and shook my head and said, "White... You... You don't understand ......"
Bai Yi held my face, looked at me affectionately, and said, "Brother, I understand." Because I know that, I like you!
My head buzzed, and I snapped away from his embrace.
I panicked.
Bai Yi said: "Brother, from five years ago, the first... At first sight of you, I... I'm just going to like you..."
I was stunned.
So he knew I was a woman from the first time he saw me?
No wonder he was so good to me because he liked me.
Even though I knew his affection for me, I still seemed stunned.
I hardly dared to look at him, so I had to say, "Baiyi, it turns out... You... All... Got it?
Bai Yi said, "Well, I know... You're a good man..."
I was stunned.
Bai Yi said a little shyly: "Just because of your affection for Sister Du, I was really moved." So I really like you! ”
I was stunned and said, "Are you... You... Like men? ”
Bai Yi said, "I... Like, just... Just like you..."
I just felt dizzy.
In this way, he didn't find out that I was a woman, but he said he liked me.
But he is a man, how can he like men?
I panicked and said, "White, this... I'm just afraid... I'm afraid not. ”
Bai Yi said: "Why not, what I said is true, don't you believe me?" ”
I was torn between what to say.
As if he remembered something, Bai Yi smiled shyly, suddenly took my hand and pressed it to him, and said, "You... I must have thought... I thought I was..., but in fact I... I..."
As soon as my hand touched his chest, it was a soft and intoxicating mass.
Look no further, I already know what it will be.
I stared at her with wide eyes and said almost incredulously, "You... Be... Woman? ”
Bai Yi was infinitely shy, nodded and said, "Well, I'm a woman." ”
She took off her disguise, and suddenly revealed the beauty that a woman should have.
I never dreamed that she, like me, was just a woman dressed as a man.
What's even more incredible is that she thinks I'm a man and likes me.
I was in a state of turmoil for a moment.
Bai Yi said, "Brother, I really like you..."
Listening to this brother, there is a trace of affection in the ambiguity, and now I finally understand.
It turned out that from beginning to end, she had always spoken to me in a daughter's tone.
And I didn't know it.
I was so ashamed that I could hardly face her.
I said, "I never knew that you were a woman, but how could you have magic power?" ”
At this moment, the night cry slowly flashed out of the darkness.
Night Cry carried a hideous human head in his hand and slowly approached me.
By the moonlight, I could recognize it as San's head.
I looked up at the night and made a decision.
Night Cry said: "She has mana, that's because she was originally a fox demon!" ”
I was taken aback, looked at Bai Yi, and said, "Bai Yi, you ...... Are you really a demon? ”
Bai Yi hesitated, finally nodded and said, "Yes!" But my heart for you is absolutely true, and the moon can be seen! ”
I felt a wave of fear.
She liked me, and that's because she thought I was a man.
What if she knew I was also a woman?
I suddenly remembered her dream, and it turned out that this was the reason.
It's just the situation in the dream that makes me feel uneasy.
Bai Yi said again: "Brother, when you robbed the tomb with Ah San, I met you in the mountains and wilderness, and just by looking back, I knew that I couldn't leave you in this life!" ”
I sighed and said, "So, you found me later and saved me from the hands of Thirteen Steps?" ”
Bai Yi said: "As long as I can be with you, I can do anything!" ”
I finally got it.
She really gave up everything for me.
When the crown prince summoned the yin spirit in front of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in Lishan, he was able to rely on her parents, that is, two white-tailed old foxes.
But, in the end, it hurt their roots.
So, they both vomited blood and died.
Bai Yi dreamed, and I saw it too.
Once again, my heart was bleeding!
I said no more, turned away, and said to the night, "Send me back to the ancient tomb you rescued me from, okay?" ”
I've never said such a pleading tone to a man, but today, I have no choice.
Because if he really is a snake demon, I'm sure he can hear it.
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, and his expression turned gray in an instant.
I cried at night and said, "Good! ”
He came over, took my hand, and with a charming smile on his face, which is unique to a handsome man, and said, "I am willing to accompany you wherever you go." ”
I said, "Thank you!" ”
As I walked, I deliberately asked him, "Crying at night, why did Ah San kill you?" ”
The night cried and said, "Because he wants to kill me." ”
I smiled.
That's a good reason indeed.
I asked him again, "Can you tell me, then, how did you come up with such a strange name?" ”
The night cried and said, "Because I love the night." ”
I sighed and said, "Is it only lonely people who like the night?" ”
Suddenly, I heard the white clothes shouting from behind: "Brother, you can't go with him." ”
I turned around and saw the white clothes floating over.
Bai Yi looked at the night and cried, and said sharply: "I feel it, you are not a human, and you are also an evil demon." ”
As soon as my hand tightened while crying at night, I felt pain.
I pretended to be casual and said, "White, don't talk nonsense. I know you're good to me, but... You should know that we simply can't do it..."
Bai Yi was very disappointed and said, "Why? Is it because I'm just a fox demon? ”
I said, "What you don't know, my heart has already been given to Du Sanniang." I was born, only for her! ”
Bai Yi was very sad and said, "No matter what, my heart can be given to you, and I can also be born for you alone......"
I endured the heartache and said, "White." No, I like you a lot, but I... I... Can't be with you.
Bai Yi was overjoyed and said, "Why! ”
I didn't answer, I took the hand that cried at night and left.
Bai Yi screamed and said, "Brother Yu, you can't go, he is really a demon." ”
I ignored it.
When I looked up at the moon again, it was resting on my left shoulder.
My heart is starting to twitch.
However, the white clothes still followed.
I didn't look back.
I could see in the light of the sword clenched in Nightcry's hand that she was crying after me.
I was really touched by her infatuation.
At this time, Bai Yi became angry.
She screamed and attacked Nightcry.
Night Cry didn't care, just a backhand sword, defusing the trumpet's offensive.
The trumpet floated and flashed in front of us.
Ye Wai looked at Bai Yi coldly, with a murderous aura in his eyes, and said, "Get out of the way!" ”
Bai Yi didn't back down and said, "I won't let you, what kind of demon are you, do you want to harm my brother?" ”
Night Cry sneered and said, "If I want to hurt her, I won't hold her hand."
Oh, yes! After saying that the hand of the holding son is good, how can you be willing to hurt it?
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
Bai Yi said: "Your hypocritical mask can deceive others, but you will never deceive me!" ”
As she spoke, her people pounced.
She had an extra hairpin in her hand, which grew longer and pierced out.
Demons have superhuman abilities, I should have known about them a long time ago.
But I suddenly felt scared.
The night cries indifferently and takes out the sword.
The hairpin pierced the air.
The white clothes changed their posture and went up again.
The night cry pulled me, roared proudly, and the long sword in his hand danced with a sword light.
Bai Yi was never able to break in, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
She was in a hurry, and her mana became stronger, like a river flooding.
Excessive consumption, while hurting the enemy, also hurts yourself.
You can't go wrong with the feeling of a demon.
Bai Yi felt that crying at night was a demon who "wanted to hurt" me, but she didn't have enough mana and couldn't feel what kind of demon he was, so she was desperate to save me.
The momentum in the field is getting stronger, and my breathing is getting more and more urgent.
The white-clothed figure was gone, turning into a swirling gale.
The night cry enveloped me and exerted his power.
Then, holding on to his sword, he waited for an opportunity to come out.
In the fluttering clothes, the hairpin in white clothes stabbed out of the whirlwind again, revealing a very small flaw that was fleeting.
Night Cry saw it very accurately, and suddenly a sword stabbed out.
Then the palm followed the sword momentum and completed a perfect assault.
At the same time, I suddenly stabbed out with a sword.
I use a dagger-like dagger.
When I rob tombs, I always have such a short sword on my body that can be used for digging and self-defense.
No matter what happens, there is always a time when practice makes perfect.
I robbed the tomb, and I also practiced the accuracy of the shot.
With this sword of mine, it pierced the heart of the night cry very accurately.
Under the night cry and horror, the palm slid down, and the palm wind immediately shook me and fell out.
The dagger was still on his mouth, trembling incessantly.
Bai Yi screamed.
Night Cry's sword had pierced her left shoulder.
If it weren't for my sword, which made the night cry painful and the gesture was inaccurate, his sword would have pierced Bai Yi's heart.
There was a pale green glow in the eyes of the night cryer, and you could see that there was infinite sorrow in his heart.
The pain in my body turned over and overturned, and a mouthful of blood overflowed.
Night Cry glanced at Xiongkou's short sword, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said, "Why did you kill me?" ”
I sneered and said, "It's you who I'm going to kill!" ”
The muscles on the night crying face were twisted, and he said, "Why? ”
I gritted my teeth and said hatefully, "Because I know who you are, you are the heinous snake demon I met in my previous life." If it weren't for you, how could Sanniang suffer from your damn 'Peach Blossom Curse' and never recover? ”
The night wept and was shocked, and said, "You... How did you recognize that? ”
I said, "Before Ah San came to kill you, I found the peach blossom brand on your wrist in that room!" ”
Night Cry suddenly smiled hideously and said, "So you still remember me!" ”
As he spoke, he slowly extended his left hand.
Opened his sleeves, and there was indeed a blood-red peach blossom on his wrist.
It is this peach blossom mark that has the terrible "peach blossom curse".
The night crying throat suddenly made a "grunt" sound, and then fell down.
I looked at his face that was gradually frozen, hideous in the moonlight, and only a sly smile at the corner of his mouth made me shudder.
I couldn't help sighing, looked at him one last time, and said softly, "I also know that from the first time you see me, you must know who I am." ”
I turned around and saw the white clothes looking at me in surprise.
Blood had stained her snow-white clothes, a little red, like plum blossoms.
In her eyes, in addition to surprise, it was gradually replaced by a kind of sadness.
A gust of night wind blew through and gently danced my unkempt hair.
The palm of the night cry not only hurt me, but also shook the bun on my head, and my long hair like water suddenly drifted away.
I have never shown my daughter's face to anyone other than myself.
Now, the white clothes saw it.
Her heart fluttered.
I said, "Baiyi, I'm sorry! ”
Bai Yi was sad and said, "I should have seen that you were a woman a long time ago. It's a pity that I was so stupid that I never saw it. ”
I approached her and gently took her hand, which was cold.
I said, "How are your injuries?" ”
Bai Yi said, "It's okay, little injury!" ”
After a moment of silence, she suddenly called me: "Sister! ”
I said, "White! ”
Bai Yi sighed and said, "Okay, since you are a woman, we can't be husband and wife, but it's a fact that I like you, so can I, the fox sister, call you sister?" ”
My heart shook.
I remembered when I called Du Sanniang my sister, and my heart couldn't help but fluctuate.
But all of a sudden, I suddenly felt a little scared.
Although she is a demon and has no human worldly confinement, I still don't want my story to repeat itself in her.
Bai Yi grinned again, held my hand in turn, and said, "Congratulations to my sister for accepting such a cute fox sister as me!" ”
I looked at her pale face, and finally couldn't help but smile.
Bai Yi said again: "Sister, you already knew that he was a snake demon?" It's a pity that my mana is shallow, and I can't even feel it. ”
I sighed and said no more.
The sins of my previous life have long been unforgettable to me.
Bai Yi was full of emotion and said, "Sister, when I heard you talk about Sister Sanniang, this is really like a poignant legend.
I smiled sadly.
She looked up at the night sky again, and couldn't help exclaiming: Alas, the moon has passed the middle of the sky. Sister, we have to go and find Sanniang to solve the peach blossom spell on her!
I sighed helplessly and sadly and said, "It's useless." ”
Bai Yi was stunned and said, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”
My heart was like a knife, and I didn't say any more.
Because I know that even if I go back to that ancient tomb, I won't be able to find Du Sanniang.
Bai Yi was smart after all, and she quickly saw the answer in my eyes.
But she still didn't believe it.
I said, "I know from what he said in the night cry that from the very beginning when he recognized me, he had made this decision that made me hate him in my previous life and hate him in my future life, and hate him forever." ”
Baiyi's tears also flowed out, and he said: "So you want me to go, and ask him to take you to Sanniang, because you don't want me to be hurt, just to kill him alone and avenge your past and present lives?" ”
My heart tingled, and I couldn't help but want to cry, but I couldn't.
Bai Yi looked at the corpse crying at night, stomped his feet and hated "spit", and said: "You villain, you can really cultivate, you are even dead and you don't show your original form, it's a pity that your heart is not right, and you are also cultivating in vain!" ”
I turned away, and the tears finally fell.
The wounds on his body suddenly surged, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
I wiped it quietly, I didn't want the white clothes to see it.
Bai Yi looked at my desolate back, walked up, and said, "Sister, don't be sad, I'll accompany you to find Sanniang, okay?" ”
I walked forward.
Walking out of the bamboo forest, the sky is full of stars and the moonlight is even brighter.
Suddenly, I heard the cry of a magpie and walked away into the vast Milky Way.
Legend has it that now is the time for the Cowherd and Weaver Magpie in the sky to meet.
But Du Sanniang and I may never see each other again.
I said, "Sister, you've been out for a long time, should you go back?" ”
Bai Yi said: "If I don't go back, I will accompany my sister." ”
After a pause, she said affectionately: "Even if it is really a legend, I will accompany my sister to find Sanniang for the rest of my life!" ”
Her voice is soft and beautiful.
But to me, it shook my body like thunder.
I know.
What I feared finally happened.
