Chapter Twenty-Seven: Leaving City X
Hu Ye's face was very cold, he walked around the hall with a black umbrella, and then asked me where the ghost went. I originally wanted to pretend to be crazy and stupid and say I didn't know, but seeing Hu Ye's serious expression, I knew that I couldn't fool him easily, so I said, "He found you just now and ran away." ”
"Hmph." Hu Ye seemed to think it was reasonable, he didn't dig deeper, and instead said coldly to me, "What the hell are you?" ”
This is the second time I have heard this sentence in Hu Ye's mouth, and I feel a lot in my heart, I feel that Hu Ye treats me as a monster.
"Forget it, let's go back and talk about it." Hu Ye didn't seem to want to listen to me, he waved his hand, held the black umbrella and walked outside. I hurriedly followed. The dead bodies I saw on the road were now lying on the ground, and they looked like they were really dead, but they looked even more terrifying, with a lot of white maggots burrowing in and out of their faces.
I looked uncomfortable and followed closely behind Hu Ye. Hu Ye took me out of the cave, at this time the gloomy sky was much brighter, there was moonlight sprinkled on the mass grave, but looking at the graves all over the mountain, it became more and more desolate.
On the way back to the city, I thought about it a lot, and I felt that Hu Ye really didn't trust me very much, and he even arranged that kind of thing to spy on me. And as a Taoist who subdues ghosts, why does he still drive ghosts?
I don't understand Hu Ye, last night I thought he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but now it seems that he protects me really just to fulfill his promise to Lin Zetian, and he still doesn't like me as a person.
Hu Ye took me back to his home, which is a remote and quiet old house, very large, fragrant wood and stone, and a lot of pear wood and plum blossoms are planted in the yard, Jiangnan style.
He took me into the study, the furnishings were very simple, in addition to the many books on the bookcase, it was a Nanmu table, and on the wall behind it hung an old man in a yellow robe, holding the seal of heaven in his hand, wearing a sword at his waist, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a fairy wind and bones. Although I don't know much about Taoism, I also know that this is Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Taoism.
"Tell me, why you went there." Hu Ye put away the umbrella and sat upright on the chair.
I thought for a moment, "That man is the one who saved us last night, and I didn't know he was a ghost, so I went there." ”
"Oh, what did he tell you?" Hu Ye asked again.
"He didn't say anything, but he seemed to like me." It's definitely impossible for me to tell Hu Ye about the man in the tunic suit, so I can only say this very vaguely, and he likes me anyway.
"A ghost likes you?" Hu Ye's face was slightly constricted, although he couldn't see his eyes, he could feel that he was staring at me very unkindly now. "I think you like him too. Little girl, don't be fooled by that guy's handsome skin, you also know that he is a ghost, and ghosts can change skin. ”
"And the ghost in the mass grave, I also know something, he is very cold-blooded, unscrupulous for the sake of the end, in addition, he killed tens of thousands of humans at least thousands, his hands are full of human blood."
As soon as Hu Ye said this, my heart suddenly turned over a monstrous wave, indeed, since a man in a tunic can disguise himself as my ex-boyfriend and pretend to be Lin Zetian, how can I guarantee that he is not wearing his own skin now? And as a ghost king, he hasn't killed humans, I really don't believe it, I didn't deliberately think about this aspect before, but now after Hu Ye mentioned it, I suddenly had no bottom, and my brain was very messy.
What the hell am I doing? What I like is a ghost, a ghost who has died for an unknown number of years, a ghost who may have hundreds of lives in his hands, a ghost whose true face you don't even know, what am I thinking? I would like such a ghost.
"Anyway, the path is your own choice, you have to think it through, go get some sleep, tomorrow you will leave X City." Hu Ye was a little tired, so he arranged a room for me, and then left.
I lay in bed with my eyes closed, trying to sleep but couldn't. I was sullen in my heart, and I touched the fiery red tail ring hanging around my neck and whispered softly, are you there?
The tunic man didn't respond to me, I touched it again, looking at this delicate and beautiful tail ring I really felt like I had worn it somewhere, I compared it with my fingers, it seemed to be just right, I wanted to put it in, but I remembered what the tunic man said, so I took it back.
I can't help thinking about him, this is very bad, after all, he is a ghost, in fact, I should understand this, it is almost impossible for me to be with him, people and ghosts have different paths, contrary to the principles of heaven, there will definitely be no good end. But I still couldn't help thinking about him, and the more I forced myself not to think about it, the more I thought about it.
Then I barely closed my eyes this night, thinking about the uncertain place in the future, thinking about my parents who were probably dead, thinking about the man in the tunic who was a ghost, tossing and turning, and the night passed.
Someone knocked on my door very early the next day, not Hu Ye, but a woman. A woman with short hair who looks extremely neat. Her figure is very good, convex and backward, just standing there has a seductive attraction, I looked at it seriously several times, oh my god I am also a woman.
"Gentle?" She asked.
I nodded, and she immediately pointed at herself and said, "Li Xi." Then she looked sideways at my room and said, "Let's go." ”
Wait, she's not just here to pick me up, is she? This woman is really in good shape, but she doesn't have a sense of security, can she send me over there smoothly?
I hesitated, and she said with a blank face, "No? ”
I thought she was also very difficult to get along with, so I nodded and said okay, and obediently packed up my things. Taking advantage of the time to clean up, I asked her some basic information, and I found that this woman spoke very distinctively, and she would not speak more than two words at all.
For example, when I asked her what her relationship was with Hu Ye, she said master and apprentice. I asked her where she was going to send me, and she said Jiangxi. Where, she said.
I asked her if she could say two more words, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it's very uncomfortable to listen to you talk like this. She shook her head and said no, and after a moment she reminded me to hurry up.
After packing up my things, I wanted to say goodbye to Hu Ye, but the woman pointed to the house and said, "My family." ”
"Master Hu."
"Gone."
Obviously she can finish it in one sentence, but she used three sentences to say it, and she broke the sentence, I feel very uncomfortable to listen to, but I probably understand the meaning, this is not Hu Ye's home, but hers, Hu Ye sent me here, and left after talking to me last night, and handed me over to her.
I'm convinced!
Then this woman named Li Xi drove directly out of X City, I originally wanted to go to the hospital to see Master He and her best friend, but she said that she didn't wake up, so I simply didn't go, but I don't know if there is a chance to see them again.
Li Xi drove along the highway all the way, because it was really difficult to communicate with her, so I simply stopped talking. Sitting in the co-pilot and looking at the scenery passing by the window, my heart was more or less sad and uneasy, I touched the fiery red white lotus tail ring, and my heart was a little more stable.
After that, I fell asleep in a daze, and when Li Xi woke me up again, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, I was hungry and growled, and then looked at the scene outside the car, at this time we had arrived at a very remote county, got out of the car and ate something at will, Li Xi told me. "Evening."
"Stay here."
I wondered why I had to stay here because it wasn't a destination and it was still early. She added, "Master." ”
"Confess."
Well, I asked her very patiently what Hu Ye explained, and listened very patiently, what she probably meant was that this place would be far away from the next county seat, and I couldn't hurry anymore after dark, and I had to find a place to live, arrange a good formation, avoid the eyes and ears of ghosts, and avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Li Xi's precautions are very reasonable, I am now the person who the obscene old man wants to take revenge the most, and he will definitely be furious after learning that I ran away, and find me at all costs, so even if I leave X City, I must always be vigilant against him.
After eating, we immediately found a hotel to stay, Li Xi put a lot of talismans in the room, and after everything was done, she reminded me that as long as it was dark, I could not leave this room for a single step.
