Sometimes, it's just the unexpected.

Three hours ago, the vast majority of the people in this village were still familiar with the matter of letting Xue Chuan die by boat.

Two hours ago, the vast majority of the people in the village had planned to throw Liu Feng into the Lujiang River to postpone the five-year curse.

An hour ago, most of the people in this village looked at Xue Chuan angrily, eager to cramp and cut their bones.

However, now, they knelt down and bowed to Xue Chuan, who was lying on the ground, full of awe.

And an hour later, especially after a few people led by Zhang Huaishan found that there was no strange restraint in this village that prevented the villagers from leaving the village, they completely put their minds at ease and offered Xue Chuan and Liu Feng delicious food and drink, even if it was not an exaggeration to say that they were living bodhisattvas.

Full of wine and food, Xue Chuan also talked nonsense, exchanged feelings with those grateful villagers, and then returned to the hut specially vacated for him, dragging his tired body, planning to wash up and go to bed.

As for Liu Feng, after experiencing this turning point, he also had the intention of washing his hands in a golden basin, and with Xue Chuan's persuasion, he also packed his things early and embarked on the journey back to his hometown.

In Liu Feng's view, this time the water ghost disaster in Chailu Village is a good warning, and if you do more injustice, you will kill yourself, so you have strengthened your confidence to go back to retirement.

As for Xue Chuan, he never knew where his hometown was, and he didn't know if he still had blood relatives, since he could remember, he was adopted by a teacher in a country academy, until he was fifteen years old, the teacher was burned down the academy because he wrote an article against the local county order, and he was punished with a hundred rods and died on the street.

It was then that Xue Chuan began his aimless journey into exile. A few years of crawling and rolling made him more tactful, and his grasp of people's hearts became more and more accurate, and when he was twenty years old, he met a fraud gang led by Liu Feng, and he participated in it because of his interest in making a living.

Until now, there have been more than four years. Unexpectedly, after so long, he returned to the state of being at a loss and not knowing the way forward.

Changing into a clean shirt, Xue Chuan lit an oil lamp, sat on a soft cotton mattress, opened a book of mountains and seas from his bag, and read it with relish.

He reads very intriguedly, and his reading speed is also amazing, although he does not have ten lines at a glance, but the speed of turning the pages is astonishing enough.

A book of about 180 pages thick was read thoroughly in less than half an hour.

Xue Chuan let out a long breath, raised his head, closed his eyes to recuperate, and was still reminiscing about all kinds of strange stories described in the book in his mind, and couldn't help but smash his mouth.

Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew in, but it completely wiped out the light that was not bright, and the room became dark.

A few rays of moonlight outside the window reflected in the house, not only reflecting the figure of Xue Chuan lying on the bed, but also outlining another slender and seductive figure curve sitting on Xue Chuan's bed.

"You say that you are such a talented and intelligent scholar, how can you join the ranks of such liars and seek ill-gotten gains?"

The cold voice that Xue Chuan was extremely familiar with sounded again, and the meaning of laughter was also obvious.

Xue Chuan opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that the mysterious woman from before was wearing the almost tulle-like plain shirt, lying lazily at the end of the bed, leaning against the masonry and mud-covered wall, looking at himself with interest.

When Xue Chuan saw that it was her, he responded: "Why, I look down on liars? Why is the money cheated by my ability unjust? I call it self-reliance!"

The mysterious woman chuckled: "I remember that on the Lujiang River before, someone didn't say that about himself?"

Xue Chuan was confident: "At this time and that time, in order to save my life, even if I want me to say that you are my own mother, I can pull evidence with you!"

"Flutter!" the mysterious woman smiled, and then deliberately made a vicious expression: "So, the answer to the third question is also a lie you made up casually?"

Xue Chuan's eyelids jumped, and he laughed dryly: "How is it possible! I really say it from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no half-truth!"

Hearing this, the mysterious woman also smiled slyly, and for a while, Xue Chuan was also a little distracted.

Then the mysterious woman's face straightened, and she said seriously: "Don't laugh, I'm here to tell you something." ”

Xue Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You suddenly realized that your love for me was irrepressible, and you were ready to confide in me?"

Hearing this, the mysterious woman stepped forward, raised her right hand, gently tapped her index finger on Xue Chuan's chest, and looked at Xue Chuan with a smile: "Do you believe that I can use this finger to shatter your three souls and seven souls in an instant?"

"Gollum. Xue Chuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "Fairy spare my life! I just had the aftermath of being haunted by water ghosts, so I was just deranged and talking nonsense." ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. The mysterious woman nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to say, "Do you remember the previous incident of dispersing Yang Shou to fulfill the vow?"

Xue Chuan nodded: "How can this be forgotten." ”

"I took out your life element before, and found that you only have twenty-five years of yang life left. The mysterious woman said solemnly.

"What?!" Xue Chuan was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that I could only live to be forty-nine years old?

The mysterious woman bit her lower lip: "I'm afraid it's true." You were originally a short-lived person, and after you dissipate your yang life, from today, you can live for another six years. ”

"Six years later... What will happen?" Xue Chuan said calmly.

The mysterious woman pondered for a moment and sighed lightly: "At that time, the longevity of Yang is over, if you still stop in the world, there will be ghosts and ghosts to hook your soul, if you resist, you will be beaten on the spot until your soul is gone." ”

The corners of Xue Chuan's mouth twitched a few times, and he said "hehe", "It's as if I have the ability to resist..."

However, after Xue Chuan's words that were almost self-deprecating, he suddenly found that the face of the mysterious woman opposite had become a little strange, and he couldn't help but have a bad guess:

"Fairy... You won't... You really want me to resist it, do you?"

The mysterious woman's gaze was a little hot: "Why not? Just make some arrangements, when the ghost arrives in six years, it will be dispersed, and then cover up the tracks, even if it is exposed, it will be guaranteed to have an extra six years of longevity!"

"But how can I do it? Do you want me to play with that ghost and guess the outcome of the fight?" Xue Chuan was unconvinced.

"There's me! Didn't I just slap the ghost who came to hook my soul to death, plus my strange behavior, that's why I've been at ease in the world for so long. The mysterious woman's tone was faintly excited.

"One... Dare to ask the fairy, what is the origin of that ghost?" Xue Chuan was dumbfounded.

"Oh, it's just the black and white impermanence that you preach, it's just a spiritual body of the two of them, very weak, and it will take a long time to find out if you die. The mysterious woman said this naturally.

“...... You are strong. Xue Chuan held back for a long time and spit out these two words.

"How? Would you like to try it?" asked the mysterious woman again.

"Wait!" Xue Chuan suddenly realized something, and his face was suspicious, "Why are you so interested in shooting dead ghosts? Besides, why do you want to help me?"

When the mysterious woman heard this, she said lightly with some embarrassment: "Because I owe you a cause and effect, if I don't pay it off, it will have an impact on one thing I will do in the future, plus there is something on the ghost that I need, so..."

"Why do you owe me a cause and effect again? You spared my life before, and I solved the grudge knot for you, so it stands to reason that you don't owe each other, right?" Xue Chuan was keenly aware of what was wrong.

Xue Chuan had also heard the mysterious woman say that solving the curse of the Lujiang River was also one of her goals, but in order not to have too many entanglements, she chose to wait for the resentment to wear off, rather than directly intermingling like Xue Chuan.

"What's that... It is... When I took your life, there were some small mistakes..."The mysterious woman looked even more twisted.

"Eh, eh, it's okay to talk at once, you can make it clear what went wrong!" Xue Chuan's heart jumped, and he was almost scared out of his illness.

The mysterious woman "um" for a long time, and finally said embarrassedly: "You are congenitally deficient, so I made some mistakes when I helped you disperse Yang Shou, it stands to reason that you will die if you live to forty-nine, but now, the Yang Shou you once consumed will gradually reverse, so that you can experience life again." ”

"What do you mean?" Xue Chuan was confused when he heard that, but his instincts told him that something might fuck him was about to happen.

"In short," the mysterious woman paused, "that is, you will be old enough to be about five years old in the last few years, and in six years you will be facing the judgment of the underworld." ”

Xue Chuan was stunned for a long time, and at the end, he held back a sentence: "This is called a small mistake?"

"I can't help it," the mysterious woman said with an innocent face, "Who knew that you were born with a deficiency? I looked at your physical body, life element, and spiritual spirit before, and there were no abnormalities in the three, but after the yang shou was dispersed, it showed signs of deficiency." ”

"Then what am I missing?" Xue Chuan couldn't help but ask. Originally, a short life was enough to make him feel bad, and now he told him "Hey buddy, don't be discouraged, in addition to your short life, you are born with defects", who doesn't respond to this?

"I don't know. ”

The mysterious woman was very single, and she threw out these three words directly, so that Xue Chuan had a lot of special words for scolding her mother blocked her chest, but she couldn't burst out for a long time, so she had to grit her teeth and say hatefully:

"Count you ruthless!"

The mysterious woman gloated, "Don't be so sad, think on the bright side—maybe you're missing your eyes?"

"You!"

Xue Chuan only felt that his chest was clogged.
