【086】A blessing in disguise
"Good brother. Lin Cong said so sincerely, reminding a spy of the lying skills that he should have. Not only did his tone seem to have abandoned his previous suspicions, but his demeanor was also amazing, and even a cunning old ghost like Mo Zhai immediately believed it. Then his heart warmed, and he hurriedly took Lin Cong's hand, patted the back of the other party's hand heavily, and said to Lin Cong quite excitedly: "In the future, you will be my Mo Zhai's brother in life and death; ”。
Since then, Mo Zhai not only did not doubt Lin Cong, but also thanked Dade, and his words and deeds were much gentler. This made Lin Cong gradually become his henchman, slowly replacing the bird slippery, and also accelerating the demise of Mo Zhai and the Mo family.
The three souls walked through the dense forest for a long time, and when the sun set, they came to the Yantao Bridge.
The suspension bridge was built over the gorge and was made of iron cables and wood. The front and back ends are connected to both sides of the valley side, the bamboo trees in the Qifeng wall are verdant, the sound of the ape is bursting, and it is very wild.
On the south side of the bridge is a cliff with strange rocks and rushing to rise, and on the north side is a cliff with thousands of cliffs, which are steep and abnormal. There are several waterfalls erupting from the boulder abruptly, the waterfalls are suspended in the air like practice, and Bai Lian falls into the canyon in the air, making the valley bottom constantly rumble loudly.
Standing on the bridge, even on a sunny day, it is like being in the clouds, and the silent clouds and smoke can be picked up by reaching out. On a rainy day, it was even more smoky, and when I walked to the bridge under the cloud curtain, I only heard its sound and did not see its people. Hence the name - Yantao Bridge!
At this time, the sky was getting dark, but you could still clearly see that there was a garrison guarding the bridge.
Mo Zhai was not frightened, nor did he dodge, he walked directly to the bridgehead and stood still, and shouted to the garrison: "Mo Zhai is here, and he who is not afraid of death will come forward and die." ”。 The sound is like a bell, deafening.
Those garrisons were shocked when they heard this, and they all turned their heads to look at Mo Zhai blankly. They had just received an order to strictly investigate the ghosts crossing the bridge to prevent Mo Zhai from escaping. But I didn't want to, this thief dared to stand in front of him blatantly.
The garrison was stunned, but when they saw that this soul was indeed the same as the portrait on the wanted notice, they knew that the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service had come. So, the soldier closest to Mo Zhai didn't say a word, pulled his legs and rushed towards him, and when he stepped forward, he shook the spear in his hand and stabbed Mo Zhai with one shot.
Mo Zhai did not slow down, and the head of the spear suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the handle of the spear, pulled it suddenly, pulled the soldier in front of him, and at the same time forked the five fingers of the other hand, aimed at the soldier's face, and slapped it suddenly.
The palm of his hand was punched out, bringing a gust of strong wind, condensing in the air beside his hand, turning into a tiger head that had been opening its mouth and roaring, and its mouth, nose, eyes and whiskers were clearly visible. The next second, his palm hit the opponent's door hard, causing the opponent's eyes to wake up, and he staggered back a few steps, but his mouth and nose were already bleeding.
When he worked for Emperor Xudu, he learned a lot of magic skills, and one of the tricks of the Tiger Roaring Palm was secretly given to him by Emperor Xudu at that time.
Then I saw that the soldier retreated to the bridge, in front of the three-character archway with a sign that said "Yantao Bridge", and sat slowly on the ground against the pillar, turned his head, and was already dead.
With just one palm, he killed a ghost, which shows that this palm is so powerful, maybe it is easy to open the stele and crack the stone, and it suddenly scared the other garrisons to the point that their legs trembled.
I saw Mo Zhai throw away the spear in his hand and slowly walk towards those garrisons. He came to the garrison and smiled. The corners of his mouth just rose, and he used another trick taught by Emperor Xudu, the Phantom Divine Walk, and his body flashed into a ghostly black shadow, and rushed towards the soldiers.
The soldiers at the head of the platoon were just a flash in front of them, and then they all had blue noses and swollen faces before they could see anything clearly. After a while, on the suspension bridge in the canyon, there were screams one after another, breaking through the blue sky......
Just after the Emperor Xudu and Mo Zhai went to war, Xiao Shizhu also took half of the Xiao Jiajun and King Kong's sailors to go to Shuoyue Island.
After three days at sea, the fleet came to the military port west of Shuoyue Island. As soon as he got off the boat, Xiao Shizhu saw the ghost mother who was smiling like a peach blossom, and she was already waiting there.
Xiao Shizhu jumped in front of her in two or three steps, ignored others, desperately hugged her in his arms, and asked with a sly smile: "Wife, do you miss me?"
"Die!" the ghost mother bowed her head shyly, slapped his chest with her hand, and said angrily, "Who wants you?" As he spoke, he gave him a blank look.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Shizhu, who was not annoyed or angry, laughed loudly, and deliberately asked: "Then I'll go back to Black Dragon Island." ”。 As soon as these words came out, the ghost mother's cheeks turned even redder, and after stepping on him hard, she scolded: "You dare?"
"It's not that I don't dare. Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, looked at her deeply, and said, "I can't bear you." ”。 As he spoke, he took the ghost mother and went out of the port.
The ghost captives led Xiao Shizhu's eyes and shadows, and followed the soldiers off the boat, just seeing Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother Qingqing's actions, and my heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable. The female ghost he pursued back then and failed to get is now smiling in the arms of other male ghosts.
This made the ghost prisoner look indignant, and at the same time, he also felt that he was really a failure to do what he did, and began to doubt his life a little.
After a while, when he watched Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother board the golden chariot together, he secretly thought to himself: "What is so strange about this little ghost that can make the ghost mother who is like a rock so obedient to him?"
"Hey, new groom. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Yu Rong say in a deep voice: "Why are you stunned, don't follow up quickly." ”。
The ghost was startled, and then he came to his senses. Seeing that the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu were sitting on the golden chariot, and after being carried away by the little ghosts, they followed under the urging of Yu Rong and Xiao Jiajun.
After coming to the Ghost Mother Palace, according to the agreement, the ghost captives went to Tiangu Garden to kowtow to Wei He and Tiankui Xingshangxiang, and after being taken out of the palace by Xiao Jiajun, he and Hu Hui were taken to the Xiao Jiajun barracks and taken care of them.
"Old Wei, the oath of the day has been fulfilled today. After the ghost captives left, Xiao Shizhu stared at Wei Shi's tombstone for a long time and muttered softly, "You can rest in peace." ”。
The ghost mother stepped forward, stood side by side with him, and said with relief: "Old Wei, if he can see you so promising, he will definitely be so happy." ”。
Xiao Shizhu nodded silently, but still looked at Wei Lao's tombstone and did not look away.
After the ghost mother left him alone for a long time, she suddenly asked, "Didn't you say that you wanted to surprise me?" As he spoke, he tilted his head and looked at Xiao Shizhu's side face with an expectant gaze.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. As he spoke, he shouted to the outside of Tenguen, "Bring her in." ”。 After finishing speaking, I saw two forbidden soldiers bring in a timid girl.
The girl was dressed in a plain half-armed fairy dress, but she was still beautiful. She is slim and elegant, no more than twenty-eight years old, with small and delicate facial features on a round goose egg face, and smart and delicate eyes under her slender eyebrows, just like a deep valley orchid. Standing in front of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother with his head down, he kept rolling the corners of his sleeves with his hands.
"This is?" the ghost mother glared at Xiao Shizhu and asked in a low voice, "Your little concubine?", vinegar instantly climbed between her eyebrows, blending with anger.
"What's with what?" Xiao Shizhu shook his head with the vinegar on the ghost mother's face, and said, "Former Linglong County Lord Ghost Qian'er, be a maid for you, what do you think?"
"What about joking with you?" Hearing this, the ghost mother's anger and jealousy suddenly turned into a smile, looked at Ghost Qian'er, pondered for a while, and said to Xiao Shizhu with a smile: "It looks good, don't you think it's a pity to be a maid for me?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Shizhu snorted coldly, spread his hands, pretended to hang his head helplessly and shook his head, and sighed: "I also think it's a pity, but it's always unreasonable to fight once and not bring you some loot back." ”。 Yubi smiled at the ghost mother.
"Flam. The ghost mother scolded with a smile, but the ghost Qian'er was not beautiful, and there was a hint of well-behaved in the tension between her eyebrows, which made the ghost mother like it very much, so she turned to Ruochen and said: "Chenruo, quickly take this nervous little girl down to eat something, and then arrange a place for her to live, closer to Juexiangyuan." ”。
"No. Chen Ruo answered, and called Ghost Qian'er out of the Tengu Garden.
"Actually, there was another surprise. Then Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother went to the inner courtyard with a smile and a smile. When he arrived at the Vientiane Palace, he sat down, and Xiao Shizhu retreated left and right, and said to the ghost mother: "You close your eyes." ”。
Although the ghost mother was puzzled, she still slowly closed her eyes suspiciously. Xiao Shizhu took a deep breath, gently pressed his hand on the other party's forehead, and concentrated on recalling that memory according to the method his father had taught him.
Half an hour later, when Xiao Shizhu's hand left the ghost mother's forehead, the ghost mother also slowly opened her eyes, her already red eyes, full of consternation and incredible gaze, intertwined.
Then, a bright teardrop appeared in her eye, and after a moment's turn, it turned into a large, round, glittering tear welling up from it, slowly rolling down her cheek.
Her slightly trembling lips opened slightly, but she couldn't speak for a long time, and only after a while did she slowly spit out a sentence: "You are the little boy at that time?" The consternation in his eyes was a little heavier when he spoke.
"Hmm. Xiao Shizhu nodded his head, raised his hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry. After blurting out an apology, the ghost mother threw herself into Xiao Shizhu's arms and cried bitterly, sobbing and said: "At that time, at that time, I couldn't prevent the two adults from committing suicide, so that you have been an orphan since you were a child. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”。 After speaking, she cried even more fiercely, and the tears in her eyes gushed out, becoming more and more uncontrollable, and her heart was like a knife.
"It's not your fault. Xiao Shizhu hugged her, patted her back gently, and said softly: "This account should be counted on the head of Emperor Xudu." ”。 After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and stroked the ghost mother's head a few times.
The ghost mother still didn't dare to raise her head, she was afraid that she would look directly at Xiao Shizhu in order not to make her more uncomfortable, so she deliberately pretended to be disapproving.
Back then, she was taken care of by her in-laws, and they taught her how to behave in the world, and taught her magic and statecraft, and even delicious food, the two ancient gods would keep it for her. Although she has never shown off these in front of outsiders, deep in the heart of the ghost mother, she has long regarded them as her biological parents.
Then the underworld was in turmoil, and she was willing to risk death to monitor the underworld for her in-laws, without complaint or regret for thousands of years. And then I was forced to go to the world to eradicate my in-laws, and I wanted to take advantage of this to help my in-laws escape, but I didn't want to watch my in-laws commit suicide in front of my eyes, but I couldn't do anything. This made the ghost mother live in remorse for more than ten years.
When Xiao Shizhu first arrived in Xiaoyu Mountain City, she vaguely sensed that Xiao Shizhu's body had the slightest sign of her in-laws' divine power, but because Xiao Shizhu still had the relationship between her and her chaotic mystical power in her body, her divine power was only very different from her in-laws. And the time of Xiao Shizhu's arrival does not match the time of the arrival of the Holy Son after the black and white impermanence modified the book of life and death.
This is because Xiao Shizhu has created too many evils in the world, so he entered the underworld early, and it is precisely because of this, coupled with Xiao Shizhu's divine power that was sealed in time by black and white impermanence, that Emperor Xudu and King Qin Guang did not realize that he was the Holy Son.
Xiao Shizhu, this can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
At the same time, it also proves that from the moment he was born, he existed to eliminate the Emperor Xudu.
