Chapter 227: Xu Ani
When Xu Ani heard what Xiaomi said, he immediately showed an embarrassed expression.
Helian Tian showed an expression of sudden realization.
Xiaomi sighed secretly in her heart, sighing that the master was well versed in the art of cats and ghosts, but he didn't understand women's minds at all. Didn't some people say that women are like cats? It seems that Master did not understand it thoroughly.
Helian Tian asked, "How do you know where I am?" Did you know all along? ”
Xu Ani's next words not only surprised Heliantian, but also surprised Xiaomi, who was cutting paper, and with a shake of the scissors, Xiaomi almost cut his fingers.
Xu Ani said that she was implicated because of Dugutuo and has not been reincarnated since she was given death by the emperor. Her last breath of bad breath when she was dying was sucked away by the cat Gu she raised, and since then she has been in the body of the cat ghost. Since her cat ghost had been expelled at that time, the people of the Dugutuo family didn't know Xu Ani's situation, and thought that she was just dead. Dugutuo also thinks so.
Dugutuo escaped the death penalty because he was the queen's younger brother, but he died of depression soon after.
Because Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to exterminate the people and cat ghosts who raised cat ghosts, Xu Ani, who was in the body of the cat ghosts, had to hide everywhere and steal his life. Fortunately, this cat ghost turned out to be raised by her and had a spiritual connection with her, so even if she became a ghost, this cat ghost still listened to her instructions.
In order to avoid hunting, Xu Ani had to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, inaccessible places.
But when she heard that Dugutuo had died, she risked being killed and returned to the place where Dugutuo lived before his death to mourn him.
Before Dugutuo died, he was also sucked away by his family's cat ghost.
Xu Ani took a lot of effort and took a great risk to find the cat ghost who sucked away Dugu Tuo's qi, and then stayed by the cat ghost's side.
Later, Dugutuo's soul was released by his family and "grafted" into the belly of a pregnant woman, snatching the embryo that originally belonged to another soul. This is the continuation and reproduction of their family.
Xu Ani is a servant girl and was punished by the emperor, so there is no such grafting treatment.
Xu Ani knows that the soul of "grafting" will also pass through the mystery of the womb, and will forget the things of the previous life. As a result, she never sought grafting, nor did she go to reincarnation. She was afraid that she would forget Dugutuo.
There is a characteristic of the "grafting" method, because before "grafting", it is necessary to find a pregnant woman who is suitable for "grafting", so which person of the Dugutuo family is reincarnated as which woman's child, these are clear. This is much clearer than the transformation of a Tibetan monk into a reincarnated spirit child. The Tibetan monk wants to metaphorize the place of birth, and his followers have to follow these code words to find the reincarnated spirit child. And the people of the Dugutuo family are free from this trouble and uncertainty.
It is precisely because of this characteristic that Xu Ani knows where Dugutuo was reincarnated, which woman's child he is, and what he has grown into.
She has always been by Dugutuo's reincarnation's side, and she didn't let Dugutuo's reincarnation find out.
She knew that even if Dugutuo's reincarnation remembered his previous life, he would not be able to be with her. One was that she wasn't sure if he wanted to be with her; The second is that even if she is willing, she is a ghost, he is a human, and he can't get the approval of his family.
The Dugutuo family continues the descendants in the way of "soul grafting", in order to ensure the purity of their family's "bloodline". A servant girl, or a ghost, how could the elders of their family accept her?
When Dugutuo was a child with countless reincarnations, Xu Ani secretly guarded him like a patron saint, secretly happy for him when he was happy, secretly sad for him when he was sad, secretly helped him when he was proud, stood up when he was in danger, and saved him in danger.
There was once a life when Dugutuo was born at a bad time. His father frowned when he hugged him who had just been born, and said to himself: "The time when this child was born is too bad, the eight characters are not good, and there will be nothing in the future, and nothing can be done, it is a bad fate." ”
But Dugutuo in that life has been turning evil into good fortune since he was a child, and he was lucky in trouble.
When he was a child, he climbed to a high place because he was greedy for pears from the pear tree, but the soles of his feet slipped and fell from the branches. If it were another child, he would definitely break a few bones and even die. But after he fell, he was unharmed, patted his ass and climbed up the tree again. The little friend who saw him fall down screamed in fright, and when he saw that he didn't even have a single hair, he was so surprised that he almost screamed.
After the friends returned home, they told the adults about it, and the adults thought that Dugutuo had fallen on the soft soil.
As an adult, he fell overboard due to drunkenness, and alcoholism was a problem he still had in his previous reincarnations. But he didn't sink after falling into the water, and he didn't choke on two mouthfuls of water until someone passing by saw it. There was a man who had saved him several times. The man also felt that something was wrong—he was drunk and limp when he came up, but when he was in the water, he did not sink like a fishing buoy.
The man later secretly told others that the man he had saved was actually a hollow man, and his stomach must be empty. In this way, his own confusion can be satisfactorily explained.
In middle age, he became addicted to gambling and lost his family in a short period of time.
At this time, his elderly father finally thought that his eight characters had gone the same way.
He was not reconciled, vowed to win back all the losses he lost, and borrowed a lot of money from friends and relatives as capital. Sure enough, it wasn't long before he won back all of his losses.
After winning back what he lost, he either won first and then lost every time he gambled, or he lost first and then won, and every time he gambled, he didn't have more money in his pocket, not less than a penny. When you win, you can get whatever number of points you want, and you can get any cards you want. When he loses, the dice seem to be deliberately angry with him, and the cards are avoiding him.
After such a period of time, he felt that gambling was boring and lost interest in gambling.
In his old age, he didn't feel too heavy to lift anything, and he could bear it. And there are some things that others lift very heavy, and he lifts them and walks as easily as a swallow, not like the state that an elderly person should have. When he wants to buy something to eat, he often has just enough money in his pocket. When he is looking for food at home, there is often just a little leftover in the cupboard. Things went so smoothly that he himself was a little surprised. But a person who has been doing well all the time will gradually take his success for granted and become accustomed to it.
Behind this, it's actually her Xu Ani, a ghost, who is haunting.
After years of merging with the cat ghost, Xu Ani's soul gradually became accustomed to existing in a sojourn way, and gradually began to increase the power of the soul. Cat ghosts get some unclean things when they go out at night. And she absorbed those fragments of spiritual power and used them for her own use.
In this regard, her cultivation method is very similar to Xiaomi's Mr. Bai, which coincides.
In the process of continuing from generation to generation, the cat ghost power of the Dugutuo family is gradually declining. Fewer and fewer descendants of the family choose to learn the art of cat ghosts. This is the same reason that later there were fewer and fewer heirs to traditional crafts such as stonemasonry, carpenter, and blacksmith. Another reason is that the people of the Dugutuo family are becoming more and more scattered, and they no longer have the cohesion of the family at the beginning.
Therefore, the battle for the leader of the cat ghost is becoming more and more fading.
In Helian Tian's life, his family's cat ghost technique was almost broken. His family's control over him was almost gone. Arranged marriages have gradually shrunk into the corners of history, and free love is increasingly being talked about.
Xu Ani felt that the opportunity was finally coming, so he painstakingly let the Japanese painter see her and remember her. She knew that the painter would soon return to Japan and hold an exhibition. The location of the exhibition is not far from the location where Helian Tian, who studied abroad at that time, lived. She also knew that Helian Tian in this life loved calligraphy and painting, and would definitely participate in this art exhibition.
So, she deliberately evoked Helian Tian's memories of his previous life.
Sure enough, Helian Tian began to look for her everywhere. And she was around Helian Tian and watched him anxiously searching. She was very happy.
But she is just a ghost who can manifest, not a person with a perfect body, and her inferiority complex has made her dare not come out to meet him. This inferiority complex has never gone away.
After a while, Helian Tian didn't look for her. She was extremely disappointed and sad.
But she wasn't angry with him, and she was still by his side.
But recently, she saw that Helian Tian's dog meat restaurant had an extra girl named Xiaomi, Helian Tian not only gave her the best cat ghost, but also taught her the technique of raising cat ghosts, and even gave her the title of Mr. Bai to her cat. She finally couldn't sit still.
In Helian Tian's countless previous lives, she had not encountered a similar situation. Helian Tian's previous life was not lonely and old, he would definitely marry other women and have children with other women when he became an adult. Xu Ani felt unspeakable pain every time he arrived, but he had to accept it calmly. Because she knew that Helian Tian at that time didn't know about Xu Ani's existence. She comforted herself in her heart that if she showed up, Helian Tian might choose her instead of other women.
This life is different.
Helian Tian in this life remembered that period of the past, which made Xu Ani feel that Helian Tian was different from his previous life. A person who has a crush on each other but has never experienced anything with the other person, even if he sees that the other party has a significant half, even if he is bitter in his heart, it is not easy to prevent the other party from uniting with others. And two people who are in love with each other and have had a common experience with each other, if they see each other like another person, this state of mind may not be comparable to the former. Although this common experience was a long time ago in the previous life. But since I remember it, it's no different from the real thing.
