Chapter 2 Rushing to the crown with anger
The night is cold and frosty, and I can't bear to sit on the couch alone, and I can't bear to read a copy of the "Netherworld Prison Code" with the light of a bean, which is the condemnation code of the ghost world, and it is rare to see him so serious.
"Can't you sleep?" asked Wu Ying without replying.
"Well, I'm a little worried about the fetus in Yongqing's womb, afraid that she will repeat the mistakes of Meijun. ”
Wu Ying turned his head and looked at me tenderly: "Your worries are not unreasonable. I just flipped through the ancient books and found that there was an ancient contract recorded on it - Ghost Yizi. I suddenly became interested: "What is a ghost Yizi?"
"That has to start from 1,200 years ago, when the Nine Shadows Demon Lord was on the verge of war, his wife was seriously ill and died soon, but she was already pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Demon Lord, in order to ensure his wife's long life and smooth delivery, the Nine Shadows Demon Lord and the Immortal Emperor made a contract with the Ghost Yizi - as long as you eat the fetus that is still in the womb and has not yet been born, you can obtain all the yang life of this fetus on the life and death book to renew your life. ”
I couldn't wait to ask, "The wife of the Nine Demon Lords agreed?"
"Obviously, yes, but he also sold his soul to the Emperor of the Underworld in exchange, and after death, he fell into the Netherworld Prison forever, and there was no possibility of reincarnation, so he was called Ghost Yizi. Although the cost is extremely heavy, in order to live forever, there are still many people who have used this method throughout the ages to satisfy their selfish desires in this life. ”
"Drinking water to quench thirst is a move to destroy human morality. "For some reason, at this moment my heart is completely overwhelmed by a suffocating sadness, not just because of Meijun's child, but from an indescribable bond.
Silently and carefully flipped through the texts: "Sometimes the cost is not only the soul of the caster, but even the life. ”
I was about to ask a question when I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the grass behind the room, and I became alert. Having said that, the location of our room is relatively remote, and it is not incomprehensible if it is really a maid in the palace who is cheating in the middle of the night, but after hearing the sound outside, Wu Ming and I are surprised.
Wu Ming closed the book with a "snap" and said with a smile: "Ying Quan." ”
Wu Ming and I quietly came to the back of the house, only to see Ying Quan kneeling on his knees, burning paper money reverently, while still silently reciting: "Today is the first seven, for the husband to send you, cause and effect, thousands of right and wrong, all are mine and not, this life mistook you, wait for me to ......repay in the next life" So I remembered that when I was in Nagano, Meijun's white bones had been sobbing on the bank of the Lingquan River for seven days, speaking of which today is the first seven, Ying Quan's little prince remembers it so clearly, if he says that he is not sincere to Meijun, I don't believe it.
"There is a curfew in the whole house, only here is the firelight, who should I be so bold, it turns out to be Quan'er. Yongqing came here alone with a big belly.
Ying Quan didn't raise his head and said: "Don't call me Quan'er, if it's true, you should call me brother-in-law." Today is the night of your sister's soul, why don't you come to worship?" Yongqing really knelt down, folded his hands, kowtowed three heads and said: "Sister, the fate of you and my sisters in this life is over, if there is an afterlife...... I hope we'll never see each other!"
After hearing this, not only should I be right, but even I and Wuming couldn't close our mouths in surprise.
Ying Quan was furious: "As biological sisters, you should be like brothers and sisters, how Meijun treated you when she was alive, and when she returned to her soul, she said such ungrateful words." ”
Yongqing explained unhurriedly: "I only know the consequences, but I don't know why, how can you blame me? Our sisters have been tormented by each other in this life, and I pray on the night of my soul that I will never see each other in the next life, not only so that I can get rid of the countless disturbing constraints, but also so that she can always be forever." ”
I heard this in a fog, it seems that Ying Quan didn't take it seriously, only thought that Yongqing was really ungrateful, and grabbed a handful of paper money and threw it into the raging fire: "Meijun, when I was hunting on the shore of the jungle lake, I met you standing in a pavilion, only to sigh that there is no such person in the world, so I prepared a dowry, returned to Xianze, and married you into the house. ”
The little prince recalled the scene of his first acquaintance with Meijun and burst into tears, but Yongqing didn't know why, he wanted to hold back the sadness in his heart, but he cried extremely presumptuously.
Wuming touched his head: "It's really big, and I can't see why." ”
I wondered, "But... But in Meijun's memory, I didn't see this scene, Ying Quan's little prince directly married her back to the house with a dowry, and the two did not meet. ”
"Huh? That's weird. Wu Ming turned around and said, "No matter, no matter, go back to sleep." ”
Me: "It's all up, why don't I take you somewhere." ”
Wu Ming: "Where is it?"
Me: "A place you all like, but you have to take me out first." ”
"What the hell are you doing, girl? With a wave of his hand, the soles of my feet immediately became windy, and I was swept out of the wall, so that my face hit the ground first, and then he also turned and flew out.
I rubbed my face and said, "Okay, you are innocent, you are obviously jealous of my flower and moon appearance, and you want to ruin my face." Wu Ming said disdainfully: "It's ridiculous, how can I be jealous of your little daughter's appearance." ”
I hugged my hands and chested and said, "Hmph, I'm very confident, do you dare to compete?"
"How does this compare?"
"Simple, you made me look like a man, let's go to that place and see who is more popular with the girls. ”
Wuming tapped my forehead with his hand: "You really didn't disappoint me when you said you were stupid, you just sold it for nothing, and you broke it again." ”
"Hmm? Did I say it, don't up, I won't say it. ”
Wu Ming: "Qinglou, right?" ”
I pointed at him incredulously: "You actually know, forget it, turn me into a man, otherwise I won't be able to get in." ”
Wuming couldn't bear to look at it directly: "Silly girl, why don't you take a look at yourself first." I looked down at my clothes, and sure enough, it was already a wide robe with wide sleeves, and I couldn't help but be complacent: a handsome boy in Tsing Yi glanced at him in vain: "I don't know what I'm happy about." ”
After coming to the Qinglou, the old mother brought a large group of girls to surround her, but she didn't dare to slack off, poured tea and water, pulled the girl to wait, and didn't respect me so much, pinched my face on the left, and touched my head on the right: "Yo, which little son is this, with fine skin and tender meat, it looks like a porcelain white doll, head back to this place, do the family know?"
I was so angry and angry, and said angrily: "I don't know how many times my master has come here, why don't you call the girls over and let me pass by!" The old mother smiled again: "Okay, okay, as long as it is the young lady you look at, the old mother will call the shots for you." He giggled and walked away.
"How dare she look down on me. "I complained to Nameless. Wu Ming waved his hand and drove away the warbler Yanyan beside him: "Didn't you insist on trying, be willing." What the hell are you pulling me here?"
Me: "That's right, Meijun's child was lost here, and besides this Meijun, there was another thing that was left in a small dark room in the attic. "Oh? "We looked at each other for a moment, made up our minds, and then looked around, going upstairs and up again as if no one was around.
As she approached the attic, the old mother shouted behind her back, "Where are the two sons going? There are no girls up there." ”
"I've been discovered!" we both turned our heads, at a loss, and I had an idea, pulled the old mother aside and said, "Old mother, don't look at him as suave, in fact, ...... It's the one that's not interested in the girls. The old mother suddenly realized: "Oh, short sleeves, it's a pity for this good skin." I went on logically: "So, just ask the old mother if there is a little dark room here that is a little hidden or something, he is not short of silver taels." ”
When the old mother heard this, some of the money was made without the girl accompanying her, and she smiled and said: "Some of them, there is one in the attic above, but it's just ...... There was a girl who accidentally had a big belly, and it was difficult to give birth to a doll in it was stillborn, and then she couldn't think about it for a while, so she committed suicide by throwing herself off the cliff, which is very unlucky, if the two sons don't dislike it......"
"Don't dislike, don't dislike. I hurriedly replied, but I knew very well in my heart: Meijun was not a difficult birth, but was forcibly removed from the womb before the fetus was full-term.
Wu Ming: "What did you say to the old mother that she let us up so easily?" Me: "Haha...... It's nothing. Wu Ming: "You don't think my clairvoyance is bluffing?" "You've heard it all..."
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Wuying's mouth: "Yes, since you said so, then I have no choice but to do so." A palm pushed me to the bed behind me, and it didn't look like a joke tearing at my clothes, and I shouted, "If you do this again, I'll shout." ”
Wu Ming: "You've already shouted." ”
So I shouted, "There's something behind the door." This method was tried and tested, and there was nothing more important in his eyes than investigating the case, so he immediately put me down and picked up a transcript from behind the door: "What is this?"
"Meijun's handwriting, which records all the ways of cultivation she knows. I don't know why, after Meijun's child was forcibly taken out, she was still bleeding profusely, and she forced to give those people her notebook, but those people didn't take it seriously at all, so she threw the notebook here when she went out with the child. ”
Wu Ming looked through it and said, "The thousand-year-old Hibiscus Flower Demon is really not simple, and some of the things recorded on it can only be found from my current "Netherworld Prison Codex". ”
"So powerful!, is there also the Ghost Yizi contract you mentioned earlier?" Yes, and she added her own understanding, so it was more detailed. ”
"Oh, little prince, you can't go in, there are distinguished guests inside!" There was a sudden noise outside the door, and the little prince broke into the door, still wearing a big red cannon, and he didn't have time to replace it.
The old mother hurriedly ran over and explained to Wu Ming: "This official, I really can't stop it." ”
Ying Quan: "What are you doing here?"
Wu Ming: "On the wedding night, what is the little prince doing here?"
Ying Quan: "Today is Meijun's first seventh, I'll take a look at the place where she left." As soon as the old mother heard the word Meijun, she looked disgusted, and it happened to be very noisy below, and she didn't know what happened, so she left.
I said angrily: "You still have some sincerity to Meijun, but you are so cruel to your flesh and blood, and you are a father in vain!"
Ying Quan: "What did you say?"
"Didn't you send someone to take out her unborn fetus while she was still in her womb?" I pointed to the large pile of precious medicine esophagus on the table to stop bleeding, "This is what you prepared for her afterwards, since you decided to kill the child, why didn't you just kill her?"
After hearing this, Ying Quan was like a thunderbolt from the sky: "How can this be, our flesh and blood...... In the womb of Meijun was taken out alive?"
Wu Ming saw that his affection didn't seem to be fake, and said, "That's right, who else would do such a thing except you?"
Ying Quan clenched his fists: "It's him, it must be him, return my beauty, return my child!"
I kind of understood what was going on, "You're talking about your father?"
"It was he, who coveted Meijun's beauty, disregarded etiquette, righteousness and shame, and took his daughter-in-law for himself, but because Meijun was already pregnant with my child, he said that she did not abide by women's morals and secretly raped and raised men, so he beat her out of the house with a stick, and sent someone to send her to the Qinglou, and then he spoiled Yongqing alone, which is simply a great shame in my door...... He is the one who destroys humanity and becomes a father in vain. "Ying Quan stated his father's evil deeds, and gritted his teeth.
I had nothing to say, so I silently put away Meijun's notes and said, "Since Lord Duan beat people out of the door with sticks and sent them to the Qinglou to fend for themselves, how could he go back and harm the fetus in the womb, not to mention that these medicines and foods on the table clearly wanted to save her life, which was not quite in line with the original intention." ”
After listening to Wuming's analysis, I came to my senses and persuaded: "Don't worry, the little prince, we are also investigating this matter, let's go back to the house first." With that, we went downstairs.
Ying Quan: "Who the hell are you?"
I was about to explain, when I suddenly saw a scene in front of me, and the three of us were stunned and at a loss.
I saw that Yu was still wearing the phoenix crown and xia cloak that he married today, but the corners of his mouth were full of bruises, kneeling in the center of the lobby of the Qinglou, holding back tears and saying: "Old mother, you have also seen it, I was disgusted by my husband's family when I went out, and I was beaten and scolded by my father when I returned to the door, and I had nothing to do, and I hope that my old mother will take me in." ”
The old mother looked at Yu's embarrassed appearance: "The original appearance should have been good, but it was abandoned by the little prince on the wedding night...... I'm afraid no one will want it. ”
As soon as the old mother's voice fell, the princes and grandsons around her smashed silver taels one after another, and said, "This is a bad word, I will pay 1,000 taels to buy this girl on the first night." "Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Uncle I am even more interested, I paid 2,000 taels to buy her first night. Another person directly pushed the girl in his arms away, shouting: "Finally, a chick came, I gave five thousand taels, no one should rob the ...... with the master" There was an uproar, and he scattered the silver with a wave of his hand.
I involuntarily stepped forward and stood in front of the Yu family, with endless pity in my heart, this is the only thing I can do for this weak woman in front of me. Yu knelt on top of the mountain of gold and silver, tears mixed with blood from the corners of his mouth, and his expression was unspeakably sad.
"Presumptuous!" shouted at the young prince, and the audience was silent.
