Five-legged Toad_Chapter 108: Blood-stained wedding dress Hanyue crystal slipper reward and normal update are more than eight thousand words
"It's different." The old man looked at the mirror, showed a wry smile, and said: "Originally, the power of the mirror was combined with our Gu technique, which allowed the power of the mirror to come to us, so that we could continue our lives, but who knew that the person who guarded this mirror had evil thoughts about the power in the mirror.
He thought of monopolizing the mirror, and cast a spell on the mirror, trying to absorb all the power in the mirror into his body, but as a result, the mirror somehow reversed and actually swallowed him up. ”
"Devouring?" The photographer looked at the small mirror with trepidation: "Can you still ...... Such? ”
The old man didn't answer, but said to himself: "From that day on, the mirror has become an inhalation force from the output power, and all people are used by the mirror, trapped by the invisible filament, and the meaning of our existence has actually become a cormorant who does things for the mirror." ”
Of course, I know that cormorants, which are a kind of fishing tools, fishermen raise cormorants, will throw the cormorants in the river, and when the cormorants catch the fish, the big ones will be kept by themselves, and the small ones will be "rewarded" to the cormorants.
To put it bluntly, it is like his own slave, giving the people of the village a youth forever, and the wool comes from the sheep.
It turned out that we had misunderstood before, thinking that the villagers were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they loved the years of youth, so they were willing to form a technique with the mirror, but I didn't think that there was this reason......
Phoenix...... Phoenix...... Even if there is only a small part of the power of immortality, can it be the same as immortality, which can tempt people's hearts?
"Those who have weaknesses will be tempted by immortality." Cheng Ke said: "And in that mirror, there is the opposite immortality. In addition, the person who sucks it in will also pollute the power inside. ”
The person who sucked it in had a greedy word, so he transmitted greed to the mirror.
"This is the second disaster in the village after the Immortal Gu Rebellion." The old man said abruptly: "Every July, everyone must give enough popularity, and if the people who donate are not enough, they will be sucked dry by the mirror, and the people in the village will begin to kill each other, some to protect themselves, and some are willing to sacrifice their own popularity to the people around them in order to protect their loved ones...... It's like my mother. ”
My mother died for herself, so this life is precious, no matter what, it must be continued, because, as long as you live, it is equivalent to being with yourself.
I can guess what else can be done in order to continue to live, in order to continue to live, in order to continue to live in the hope of my family?
The popularity of the raw life in the village is gone, but the mirror is still like a bottomless pit of eating raw food every year, so it has to be brought in from the outside.
Eat once a year...... I remembered what my second grandfather said, in this place of Xichuan, people often die, and the body cannot be found.
Yes, it only opens in July one year, and the rest of the time it is a seal of isolation, of course, no one can find this place, only the legend of this place can be left.
"That's right...... That old woman! The choreographer suddenly remembered the deaf and dumb old woman, and quickly asked, "Why, didn't she become like you like you?" ”
"Because she wasn't from our Immortal Town in the first place." The old man took a breath, and then said: "Sixty years ago, she and her family were brought into the village in July, and her family was sucked dry, she was still a baby at the time, and she was not very popular, so instead of sucking it dry, it was better to stay here and help us be a bait to lure people in." ”
"In order not to let her tell your secret," I guessed in my heart, "you made her deaf and dumb?" ”
"Hahahaha......" The old man laughed, and tears of laughter came out: "It's cruel, isn't it?" However, if people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will perish. ”
"So, she grew up here...... the photographer couldn't help but ask, "but how did she know how to use sign language?" ”
"It's ridiculous," said the old man, half-squinting, "and later...... She was able to get along with a man who had strayed into the village. ”
"What?" The photographer's eyes widened: "Can the old woman still find a man?" ”
"Are you stupid?" The choreographer said: "Who has never been young in this life, and who will not be old in this life!" But...... This time, we didn't see any men, and now ...... He's dead? ”
I remembered the black hair under the pillow mat and the young woman in the toilet: "Yes...... That weird person Gu in the tank, right? Could it be that after they got married, they also had a daughter? ”
"Surely you have sucked the two of them dry, right?" The photographer also guessed: "No wonder the old woman hates you so much, because if you protect us living people, you can starve to death." ”
"That's right." The old man showed a complicated smile: "The two of them have become a family, have a daughter, a family of three, and honestly stay here to attract people to us, which is good, but it's a pity...... That daughter, because of those outsiders every year, began to have an interest in the outside world, and wanted to leave. You say, can you go? ”
"So, you caught up with that daughter and sucked her dry......" The choreographer twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally: "Ruthless enough." ”
"Yes, people are not ruthless, and they can't stand steadily." The old man sighed: "She doesn't die, the news spreads, if it attracts a large number of ghost cultivators who are looking for immortals, then it will be us who die." The old man saw us chasing after us, and in order to protect his daughter, he was also sucked dry together, and she hated us, and her hatred was justified. ”
"Whoever changes will hate you." The photographer couldn't help but say: "How many people have you ruined......"
"Who wants this to be the case?" The old man looked completely resigned to fate: "But who can blame this?" ”
"So, that strange thing in the tank, it's ......" The photographer shuddered: "Should it be ......?"
"That thing, called the Living Gu, is to nourish the trees with the corpse, and then use the pieces of flesh produced by the trees to feed the things in the tank." The choreographer took a breath and said: "It can continue to exist with people's corpses and people's souls, but the old woman doesn't seem to be able to raise the living Gu to the end, I thought at the time that she was deliberately harming people to feed the living Gu, but I didn't expect that that person to be her own old man." ”
In the deserted village, the only two family members are still dying, who can imagine that kind of loneliness? It is conceivable that you want this method of making amends to accompany yourself.
Old woman, she must not be able to get out of here at all...... I grew up here since I was a child, and I am already like this, how do I adapt to life outside......
Only then did he leave the old man's body and keep him in the tank to accompany him.
And that night, in order to protect us, she would rather release the old grandfather's living Gu to fight against those boys and girls.
How much hatred, how much loneliness, she wants revenge, and there is only this way to protect outsiders.
And that young woman's soul, isn't it, the kind of living person Gu that has been refined! It won't be long before the old man can live by the old woman's side again with that attitude!
"Old woman, you have been miserable...... the photographer couldn't help but say: "It's just miserable!" ”
"You blame us, who do we blame?" The old man closed his eyes and muttered, "No one here, it's good, how do you know?" ”
Oh, yes...... Who can blame it......
Strange calamus? Blame Changsheng? Blame the first person to be greedy for the mirror? Even if it's weird, what's the use.
"Let's go, it looks like it's over." The old man said, "Whether it is happy or sad, it is all over." ”
"We'll take you out!" The choreographer thought about it and made a decision that seemed to be quite significant, saying: "You have lived for so many years, it is a living cultural relic left over from history, and if you are sent out, you will definitely be able to make some contribution to the motherland!" ”
"Contribution......" the old man said in a daze, "what can I contribute...... The village is completely finished, and I, too, are finished......"
"Let's talk about ...... when we go out" The choreographer first put the old man on his back and said, "Didn't you just now, haven't you seen the sun for a long time?" The mirror was broken by the master, so that you can re-see what sunrise and sunset, morning and morning and dusk......"
I looked back at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke's hand was still holding the mirror in his transparent hand, but the lock was gone.
He was a little distracted, but when he saw me looking at him, he still hooked his thin lips and said, "Let's go." ”
The choreographer and photographer walked in front with the old man, I looked at Cheng Ke and said, "It can't be an accident that Calamus came to this place and left behind a mirror that reflected immortality. ”
Cheng Ke's eyes swept down: "Huh? ”
"I mean." I felt like I was holding a breath in my chest, a little unhappy: "Calamus doesn't know that immortality can seduce people's greed, and she doesn't know how much destructive power immortality will bring, but she still did it, so she left that mirror here......"
"You're saying that all the things that have happened in this village today are caused by calamus?" Cheng Ke didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't say anything very seriously, but I don't know why, the whole person suddenly felt cold, which made me can't help but feel cold.
"It happened so long ago," I paused, but then continued, "I didn't see it, and of course there is no evidence, but the timing of the appearance of the calamus was also very coincidental, why, it was when the local Immortal Gu rebelled?" Until now, the people in the village don't know why the Immortal Gu will regurgitate ......."
Cheng Ke interrupted me for the first time, looking at me with a pair of peach blossom eyes and a cold pool: "What do you want to say?" ”
"What I want to say is......" I pursed my lips and said, "Was Calamus at that time, I just hope that there is only her own immortality in the world?" And other immortal techniques, if they don't exist, they don't exist, and in this way, immortality is unique......"
That's right, I just think, maybe, it was the calamus that ruined the village with the help of the mirror that had seen immortality! And the previous immortal Gu technique backlash, who knows, has nothing to do with her!
I also know that this sounds like jealousy, like slander, but I have a vague feeling that maybe Calamus is not the kind person I imagined before
Perhaps, there was something unspeakable about calamus at that time, didn't the old man say it? Calamus came alone, claiming to be going here, looking for something......
Isn't it possible to start here......
But these speculations, for some reason, I can't say them in front of Cheng Ke.
What kind of person would he think of me?
Cheng Ke's big peach blossom eyes looked at me seriously and patiently, but he didn't say anything, just turned around and went out along the road.
He...... This time, they didn't hold my hand first.
That back is chic and absolute.
What else?
I laughed at myself and followed, that person was Calamus, how could I doubt such a perfect existence in front of Cheng Ke?
Even if Cheng Ke is unhappy, there is a reason why he is unhappy, even if no one is perfect, calamus is.
I chased after him, looked at Cheng Ke's translucent arm, and felt a little apprehensive, so I had to ask, "Do you want it, I ...... it"
"It's fine."
Only a faint sentence, I couldn't hear any tone, and he didn't even look back.
Yourself, did you kill indiscriminately? Calamus is the reverse scale on his body, no one can touch it, no one can touch it.
Even if, he wasn't sure, he didn't remember.
There was nothing to say all the way, the soles of my feet were deep and shallow, I stumbled, and I actually felt that it was much more difficult to walk than when I came.
Following the traces left by the turtle armor when I came, I followed them out of the intricate tunnel entrance, the board of the cellar was still tightly closed, and the photographer quickly took a shelf to support the equipment, and stretched the top plate open.
It should be noon outside, and the rays of sunlight poured down warmly, shining on the hay all over the ground, and together with the sun, the sweet and greasy taste was washed away a lot, and the smell of hay came out, making people feel warm.
"That's good." The old man who leaned on the choreographer's body was bathed in the sunshine, sighed very satisfied, and smiled: "It's so good......"
But at the same time, the old man's thin body suddenly rose up and burst into flames, and they burned at once.
The choreographer looked sideways, his back was on fire, and he was scared, and the old man fell to the ground from the choreographer's back, and lay peacefully on the haystack in the sun, his eyes narrowed: "Before you die, you can bask in the sun, I guess, those who are old and immortal will also envy me......
The fire on the old man's body lit the hay as well, and it crackled and burned, and the photographer's eyes widened and he was stunned: "This, this, this...... Even if the mirror is cracked by the master, they still have ...... on them."
"Perhaps, because of them, they shouldn't have been people in the yang world for a long time......" I looked at the old man who closed his eyes peacefully in the flames, and said, "In the end, in the end, in the end, ......"
"Alright, master, I think we'd better go out and talk!" The choreographer was afraid that the flames would burn his trouser legs, so he jumped up and dodged like a rabbit, snatched a shelf from the photographer, jumped up, and hooked the edge of the hole with the shelf, like an athlete, he quickly turned it up, and stretched the shelf down: "Grab it!" Hurry up! ”
Seeing this, the photographer hurriedly grabbed it and was pulled up by the director.
I looked back at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke didn't say a word, and suddenly came over and pressed my head on his cold chest: "Hold you here, it won't be so cold......"
The flames crackled around us, but I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything.
On Cheng Ke's body, even the smell of sandalwood has faded a lot now......
"Let's find out what happened before." Cheng Ke said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter, as long as you accompany me, some things that I don't want to think about again, I can also forget them again after thinking about them." ”
I didn't know what to say, but nodded heavily: "I know...... I've always known that as long as we are together, it's good. ”
Cheng Ke's cold hand gently stroked my head and said, "The matter of calamus, I have a sense of proportion in my heart, she will never come back, I know, you have always been, and I know it." ”
I was slightly stunned in my heart, for the first time, he compared me with calamus.
"So......" Cheng Ke's faint sandalwood smell permeated: "It's good to have you." ”
A heart trembled slightly, this kind of satisfaction, incomparable, like pouring a dripping rain in the spring drizzle, warm, moist, full, full of hope.
"Two masters, hurry up!" The choreographer's voice came from the mouth of the cave: "If you don't come up again, I'm afraid it won't be easy to come out!" ”
The temperature of the flame scorched beside Cheng Ke, making him pick it up for the first time, with this false warmth.
I was reluctant to come out of his arms, I was reluctant.
"Let's go." Cheng Ke held my hand: "Let's do it, what should be done." ”
In the flames that burned quickly, Cheng Ke's eyes were shining, and he was beautiful.
How fortunate I was, and, unexpectedly, at ease.
It was like a mind that had been floating, and finally landed on the ground steadily.
That's nice.
Out of the hole, the sunlight outside was dizzying, Cheng Ke stood in front of me, wanting to help me block the light, but unfortunately, he had no shadow.
"Oops, this time it's really rewarding!" The choreographer and the photographer rummaged through the information captured in the equipment: "You watch, the program is edited, both mysterious and suspenseful, and it will definitely become an instant hit!" Let's just sit back and wait for the prize! ”
"It's a pity, now that fire goes down, isn't the whole cave finished?" The photographer looked at the furnace-like hole and said, "Boss, if we are asked to take some physical evidence, we won't be able to get out the wool!" ”
"With these images, that's enough." The choreographer said: "It's just that when I go back, I want to edit it a little more mysteriously, otherwise, even if it is a real person and a real thing, it still lacks a sense of realism......"
The two of them talked about things at work, and I looked at Cheng Ke's transparent arm and said a little worriedly: "Can you still survive?" ”
"I'm fine," Cheng Ke lowered his head, and Qing Yue's voice rang ambiguously in my ears: "I have you." ”
Of course I knew what he meant, the sandalwood smell was like a feather, gently tickling in my ears, so I couldn't help but shrink my neck: "You won't ...... next time"
"Hmm." Cheng Ke responded: "I know." ”
Hopefully, he's telling the truth.
"Oh, I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm about to fall asleep before you came out?"
A voice that I had only heard once, but could never forget for the rest of my life, suddenly sounded close at hand.
My back was cold, and I raised my head, and sure enough, Wei Qiancheng's long figure was leaning lazily under a tree, stretching a long lazy waist.
Then, he walked over to us, squinting a pair of Danfeng eyes, hooking his red lips, his eyes fell on the mirror in Cheng Ke's hand, and made a demonic smile: "Hard work, the relics of calamus, finally took out, I thought about it, the closest thing in the world seems to be immortal, and there is only this thing, it just so happens that it is July again, and the seal of the village can finally be opened, you come to take it, it is just right." ”
As he spoke, the dimples on his cheeks deepened: "I just didn't expect it to be so smooth." ”
Cheng Ke also raised his head and looked at the leisurely Wei Qiancheng who walked in the shade of the tree, under the dazzling light, his eyes narrowed, and his pupils shrank with hostility.
I immediately understood: "Could it be that on the way we took Luo Weilan back to Luojia Village, what did you do to deliberately lure us here?" ”
"You're smart, it's easiest to talk like this." Wei Qiancheng nodded with satisfaction, walked out from under the shade of the tree, looked at us, and said: "The smell below is not good, I was once a hundred years ago, and I couldn't stand the smell, so I left those ant-like things to borrow the power of immortality to survive, and now you help me take it out, isn't it also a matter of the way!" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand that was not bloody, but white and blue, as a matter of course, to Cheng Ke: "Give it to me." ”
Cheng Ke not only had no expression on his face, but also motionless on his body, just staring at Wei Qiancheng: "Are you talking in broad daylight, talking in your dreams?" ”
Wei Qiancheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and the narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed: "Don't be reckless, if you unlock the mirror technique, your yin qi will be lost eighty percent, and you can't stand still when you see it, are you embarrassed to come and talk to me?" ”
Then, the slightly enchanting Danfeng looked at me: "Lu Qiao, now, your ghost is weak and has become like this, and it is probably too late to use the Yin Yang Ghost Technique to replenish his Yin Qi, so let's give me the mirror, and you will follow me, this ghost, I will not be hurt." ”
Yes, bring us over, we will definitely come over to pursue the traces of immortality, and Cheng Ke will also do his best to get the mirror related to immortality, and in the case of Cheng Ke's violent loss of yin qi, he will appear in front of us at the right time to take advantage of the danger.
Not only ruthless, but also, simply inferior.
"If he can't compete with you, it's better to die together." I looked at Wei Qiancheng: "Don't think that you are the sun in the world, and everything has to revolve around you." ”
"You know?" The choreographer and the photographer looked at each other, but under this tense atmosphere, it would only make people feel embarrassed, and there was really no way to ask, and Wei Qiancheng was obviously a hard stubble, and the two of them estimated that it was an internal contradiction to be resolved internally, so they quickly said: "Since this is the case, then...... Then we'll go first......"
As he spoke, he packed up his equipment and left this place of right and wrong.
"Your friend?" Wei Qiancheng's Danfeng eyes were raised, and he looked at the two people with full interest, and his red lips hooked: "However, it seems that there are not enough friends, do you want to teach them a little bit for you, how to behave and do things?" ”
Before the cool words fell, suddenly the legs of the photographer and the choreographer bent down involuntarily, and I could see that Wei Qiancheng wanted to break their legs!
My heart sank, knowing that Wei Qiancheng was so ruthless, I immediately blocked in front of Wei Qiancheng: "What are you doing?" ”
"Oops!" Wei Qiancheng sighed exaggeratedly, and a finger was the same as last time, and he picked it on my chin with ease: "For myself, my attitude is so hard, for them, I actually came to give my arms and hug......"
Cheng Ke's almost transparent arm immediately checked Wei Qiancheng's hand, and his voice was cold: "I advise you, you know what it means to be measured." ”
"What do you mean by proportion?" Wei Qiancheng still had a smile on his face, but it was a sharp and unscrupulous smile: "I only know that in the world, there is nothing I want to do but can't do, people who want and can't get it." ”
As I spoke, I only felt a force pass through my ears and rush towards Cheng Ke!
Cheng Ke twisted his brows, resisted, and looked a little struggling, and the degree of transparency on his body was even heavier!
Seeing this scene, the photographer and choreographer hesitated, but still fled quickly with their equipment.
Good gone......
I hurriedly stood in front of Cheng Ke and stared at Wei Qiancheng's demonic Danfeng eyes: "What do you want?" Isn't it just looking for immortality from us? But immortality is not with us, and it is useless for you to kill us. ”
Wei Qiancheng didn't seem to want to hurt me, so he withdrew his hand with interest and said, "Oh? Not with you? But before Calamus died, didn't she give her immortality to your ghost? ”
"But because of my Yin Yang Demon Fighting Technique, he has forgotten what happened before." I said, "So it's useless for you to force each other!" ”
"Are you feeling sorry for him?" Wei Qiancheng's eyes showed a hint of displeasure: "Still, it's the same as before......"
"I know you're talking about calamus." I raised my head and looked at him without fear: "Wei Changsheng." ”
"Gee, you still know my name?" Wei Qiancheng was stunned at first, and then smiled with satisfaction: "Isn't it, you also have a little residual memory?" To tell you the truth, Calamus ...... when she was with me."
"I don't allow you to mention calamus again......" Cheng Ke's big peach blossom eyes instantly fell down: "You don't deserve to mention him." ”
Unworthy...... Could it be that Cheng Ke also remembered something about Wei Changsheng?
"Oh? I'm not worthy? So, are you worthy? That's right...... You've formed the Yin Yang Demon Guarding Technique, and you want to throw away all those memories? This kind of escape is not your style! ”
And Wei Qiancheng looked at Cheng Ke's demeanor, obviously revealing a dangerous look: "That's it, I'll help you think about it, you carefully recall the memories, who did she die for?" On her red wedding dress, dripping with blood, whose blood is it? ”
Cheng Ke's handsome face, all of a sudden, changed color!
That's it...... I remember that Cheng Ke said that he didn't like red ......
"Oops, what do you say now?" Wei Qiancheng's eyes were very sharp, and he naturally saw at once what kind of change Cheng Ke was, his red lips hooked, and he continued with that kind of demonic smile, and said: "You, you always like to persecute someone, persecution is so tight, do you know, some things are like sand, the tighter you hold it, the faster it slips?" It's like saying, what was the reason for Calamus to be with me back then......"
A strange feeling rose from behind me, and I turned my head in horror, Cheng Ke's face was already slightly blue, and it was completely a terrible ghost that made people's hearts tremble!
