Chapter 235: Investigating the Past (5)
Xie Qian turned her head to look at Qiao Niang, she was still bowing her head and muttering to herself, muttering almost inaudible. She frowned, pretending to be unintentional and asked, "What face do you remember about the man you said?" ”
Hearing the question, Qiao Niang raised her head and looked over. She seemed to have a thousand words to say, but finally came to her lips and swallowed them again. After hesitating for a while, she finally shook her head and sighed, "I don't remember......"
She couldn't remember how long she had been in the woods, not even where she had lived. She has the impression that she is called Qiao Niang and works as a maid in a large family.
Later, she fell in love with a down-and-out scholar, told the young lady about her situation, and was allowed to marry. And the young lady was also grateful that she had been with her for so long, so she prepared a dowry for her.
The sedan chair staggered off and headed towards Qizhou City. She sat in it, watching the red dress on her body swing with it, and her heart was full of anticipation. Her two fingers were stirred together, with tension.
is about to become the bride of the morning and evening lovers, and she has a feeling that she can't speak.
It's just that I didn't expect that because of the sedan chair from a large family, it actually attracted the attention of the bandits in the mountains. They hijacked the sedan chair, and also had ill intentions towards the beautiful Qiao Niang.
Qiao Niang understands that she can't escape here, and she doesn't want to lose herself here, adhering to the principle of rather being a broken jade than a complete tile, and the fragrance of jade falls here.
She hated and resented her experience.
The body was floating in the woods, and the spirit could not leave, and it turned out to be an evil spirit in the forest. And her resentment was also separated, and she refused to disperse it on her shoes.
"I don't know how long I wandered, but I met his scholar in the woods and told me that he had turned into an evil spirit in the lake. Their son-in-law committed suicide by throwing himself into a lake the day he learned that I had been killed. Qiao Niang said, tears falling down, and said, "It is said that he threw himself into the nameless lake outside the woods, which is where the two of us often meet. ”
Xie Qian listened to her words, and became more and more convinced that King Ji might be the scholar. After all, there are so many similarities, and it is definitely not a coincidence.
She dragged her chin and thought for a moment, then rolled her eyes and said, "If you see him again, will you remember?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Niang's eyes flickered, and she looked at her expectantly, and asked, "Will you take me out?" ”
"Of course." Xie Qian squinted his eyes and replied.
Qiao Niang immediately wiped her tears, knelt on the ground, raised her sleeves and said: "Thank you for the girl's great kindness, the little girl is unforgettable!" ”
"Since I am your benefactor, can you tell me what your lover's name is?" Xie Qian seemed to be embarrassed, "I seem to know your lover, but he forgot his name and needs someone to wake him up." ”
Qiao Niang hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and wept again: "I've been here for too long, I don't remember anything." ”
And so it was.
Xie Qian knew in his heart, and pinched the trick and put a talisman directly on Qiao Niang's forehead. The mana was released, and her whole body trembled, and after a while, her face began to distort, and finally took on the face of a demon with blue fangs.
She seemed puzzled, gritted her teeth and roared angrily, "What do you mean?!" ”
Xie Qian shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully: "I really don't know if you are smart, or are you too impatient?" Obviously, I was about to believe what I played before, but I was in a hurry in the end, which made me see that the flaws fell short. ”
Cheng Yan, who had been observing the situation and not speaking, said leisurely at this moment: "This resentment has become a demon. ”
"Yes." Xie Qian looked at Qiao Niang with sharp eyes, "I'm afraid that the evil spirit in this forest is Qiao Niang's spirit, so I will make my resentment become an evil ghost." Without anyone's help, she would never have been able to escape from here. She deliberately pretended to be pitiful, but she just wanted to leave. ”
Qiao Niang, as an evil spirit who died because she couldn't see her lover, heard that Xie Qian was going to take her out to see her lover, her first reaction was not to be happy, but to care about whether she could go out, so it can be seen that what she was resentful about was not this matter.
And the most suspicious thing is that she forgot her lover's name.
If it is really according to what she said, the reason for the formation of resentment is because of the lover, then he will definitely remember him clearly. If you are like King Ji, you will definitely forget your background and name.
Listening to Xie Qian's reasoning, the evil aura around Qiao Niang's body became stronger and stronger. She bared her teeth, but she couldn't break free from the shackles of the talisman. She was indignant and continued to yell, "Can you understand the pain of being trapped in one place for hundreds of years?!" ”
She resented not being able to leave.
"But if you go out, will you satisfy the resentment in your heart?" Xie Qian asked rhetorically, and then continued to explain, "When evil ghosts go to the mortal world, they must live by eating people. As long as you go out, it will be a disaster for the entire Qizhou City! ”
Qiao Niang suddenly sneered, her red eyes full of hatred. She clenched her fists and tried to break free, but in the end she couldn't untie the little talisman.
Whether it is an evil ghost or an evil spirit, as long as there is a grudge, you can no longer be a human being.
Xie Qian pinched the trick and conjured up a purification talisman and aimed it at her forehead. As soon as this talisman fell, her soul would be gone. She stared into her eyes and said word by word, "Since you are in such pain, it is better to end your life here." ”
"I haven't been out to see it in hundreds of years!" Qiao Niang shouted unwillingly.
Xie Qian closed her eyes and pressed the talisman to her forehead as if she had made up her mind. She glared at Xie Qian with resentment, and finally disappeared.
With her disappearance, the evil qi in the woods only dissipated a small part, and the miasma was still strong.
Xie Qian speculated that Qiao Niang's evil spirit must be more powerful, but it has not yet appeared.
Looking at everything in front of him, Cheng Yan glanced at Xie Qian and asked casually, "The next one may be more dangerous, are you sure you won't leave here?" ”
He knew she could teleport away.
"I finally asked for leave from the Demon Venerable, how could I go back directly?" Xie Qian said firmly.
She has made a marriage with the Demon Venerable, and Cheng Yan has heard a little. I thought it was just nonsense, but now that I heard it from Xie Qian's mouth, I couldn't help frowning.
His cold eyes lowered, and finally spit out lightly: "You two have a really good relationship." ”
"If he hadn't chased after him, I might not have been willing to!" Xie Qian raised his head and said. Every time she mentioned Demon Venerable, her eyes were full of tenderness.
She didn't notice that Cheng Yan's expression changed drastically, and finally sighed and flicked her sleeves and continued to walk forward.
Xie Qian frowned, and suddenly remembered Mu Chengye for his sudden indifference. Her heart tightened, and she secretly glanced at Cheng Yan.
She muttered in her heart, shouldn't this idiom have different feelings for herself?!
