Chapter 31: Painted Skin

"Uh......"

With a muffled snort, Su Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Am I not dead yet?"

The sky was still dark, and the sand of the tomb was raging, obscuring the sky.

"Meow!"

The snow-white beast jumped up and down on his chest, its beard trembling slightly, and its eyes sly sly.

"Stupid humans?"

Su Xuan raised his hand, looked at the fine tooth marks on the back of his hand, and suddenly remembered everything that had happened in the tomb salon scroll.

"Big Brother ......"

He muttered in his mouth, Wang Huashan risked the danger and desperately dived into the tornado to rescue himself, seeing that he was about to succeed, but he didn't expect to be cut off by the snow-white beast in the end. However, Su Xuan couldn't afford any resentment towards the little guy in his heart, even if it was just a little harsh, it would be a great sin for himself.

"With the strength of the senior brother, it should be safe and sound......"

He got up from the yellow sand, and the little snow-white beast rightfully ran over his head and curled up.

"So, what is this place?"

As far as the eye can see, the surrounding area is completely desolate desert, but in the distance there is a pavilion standing quietly.

"Is it a mirage, or is it ......"

The snow-white beast tugged at his hair with its claws, and its big tail stretched out, pointing in the direction of the lonely pavilion.

"Meow. ”

Su Xuan thought that it was okay, so he rushed over there without saying a word.

Along the way, he walked cautiously. Obviously, the danger and horror of the Eclipse Tomb had left a certain shadow in his heart.

"Meow!"

Su Xuan endured the accusations of stupid humans, and under the urging of the snow-white beast, he had to speed up his march. Fortunately, in this desert, except for a few quicksand that need to be carefully avoided, there are no other dangers.

However, it looks very close, but it is actually very far away. It took most of the day for Su Xuan to finally walk to the pavilion, and it was already dark at this time.

This is a dilapidated and barren three-story pavilion, and the glazed bricks and tiles outside seem to be unable to withstand the ruthless erosion of the years, and it is gray and white.

The two painted vermilion doors are each inlaid with bronze lions. Su Xuan pulled the copper ring on it and asked out loud, "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The knock on the door could only be heard, and there was no response from the attic.

"Meow!"

The snow-white beast screamed impatiently, and as soon as its little paws stretched out, the door of the attic was pushed open by it.

Under the little guy's smug eyes, Su Xuan said bitterly: "It's not good for you to be like this, it's too rude, what if the master here treats us as robbers who have broken into the house?"

The snow-white beast glanced at him, and this time it really didn't even bother to scream.

Stupid human, do you think there will be any normal life in the Eclipse Mausoleum today?

Under the contempt of the little guy, Su Xuan silently walked in.

However, after entering the attic, he was surprised to find that there was something else in it.

It is a small courtyard, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the trees are green, which is undoubtedly a real paradise compared to the rest of the Eclipse Tomb.

Moreover, under a pavilion, beside a stone table, there was a fairy with a plain white dress and long hair flying, looking at him with burning eyes.

Su Xuan rubbed his eyes with a stupid expression. But when he saw the fairy cover his mouth and chuckle, he was sure that what he saw was not an illusion.

"Meow. ”

The snow-white little beast called softly, Su Xuan's face changed slightly, and he reluctantly walked towards the pavilion with a bitter face.

"Childe, please be seated. ”

The fairy with a light veil masked only revealed a pair of beautiful eyes like stars.

Su Xuan's mouth was suddenly a little dry, and he stammered, "Uh...... Oh oh, okay. ”

It's no wonder he's not to blame. When I was a child, there were no girls around the village, and the only thing I could contact was my sister Yu Ningdi; And in the shelter, because of the headache that tortured him every night, Su Xuan's personality was withdrawn, and except for Xiang Yang, there were no other friends who were willing to communicate with him. Therefore, for the opposite sex, especially the beautiful opposite sex, Su Xuan really has no experience to face it calmly.

"Meow. ”

The snow-white beast screamed in disdain, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.

Stupid humans......

Su Xuan twisted uncomfortably on the stone bench, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at the fairy sitting in front of him at all.

"Hehe......"

The fairy covered her mouth and chuckled, and asked in a pleasant voice, "How did Childe come here?"

Su Xuan scratched his head and said, "I don't know, I was blown away by a tornado before, and when I woke up, I found this pavilion." ”

"Tomb Salon Volume?" The fairy's tone was slightly surprised, "To survive that kind of disaster, Childe's luck is really good." ”

Su Xuan couldn't help but shudder, and said embarrassedly: "Can you stop calling me son-in-law, I'm so uncomfortable! My name is Su Xuan, a disciple of Fengtian Sect." ”

The fairy let out a silver bell-like laugh and nodded in response, "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Dao." ”

"Uh-huh!" He nodded busily, thinking to himself about the son or something, people are still too shy!

"By the way, I don't know the name of the fairy yet? I just glanced at it in a hurry outside the Eclipse Sun Mausoleum, and vaguely remembered that the fairy seemed to be a disciple of the Immortal Miao Pavilion, right?"

"Huh?" The fairy was slightly stunned, then reacted, looked at Su Xuan with a faint gaze and said, "I didn't expect Brother Dao's memory to be so good, yes, I am from Xianmiao Pavilion." As for the name......

She suddenly stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and poured two cups of tea.

"I see that Brother Dao's mouth is dry, so it's better to drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst. It's not too late to sit down and talk later. ”

"Uh, okay. Su Xuan picked up the steaming teacup, and just when his mouth was already stuck to the mouth of the cup, he suddenly put it down again, looked at the fairy curiously and asked, "I still don't know how the fairy came to this worldly mansion?"

The fairy laughed dryly and said, "Oh, this is a secret place that the ancestors in the pavilion once discovered, and I was just ordered to come here to walk something." ”

"I see. Su Xuan nodded thoughtfully, "What is it that is worth the fairy to take such a risk and not hesitate to enter the Eclipse Sun Mausoleum alone?"

"This is the secret of the sect, Brother Dao, please forgive me for not being able to tell you. ”

"Haha, it's me Meng Lang. ”

The fairy looked at him with burning eyes, and persuaded him: "Brother Dao, the tea is almost cold." This green tea, only when drunk hot, can you taste the taste, you better drink it quickly. ”

"Well, thank you fairy for reminding me. ”

Su Xuan raised the teacup again, under the fairy's burning gaze. However, his hands seemed to slip inadvertently, and the teacup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

There was a "crackling" sound, and the fine porcelain shattered into slag.

The fairy's voice couldn't help but be cold: "Brother Dao, what do you mean?"

Su Xuan scratched his head, his face was full of embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The hand slipped, probably because it was consumed too much in the tomb salon volume, and the body is still a little prostration, and it has failed the fairy's good intentions. ”

"That being the case. The fairy handed him the teacup on his table, "Biqing tea has the effect of healing the gods, and Brother Dao wants to drink it." ”

"How can this be?" Su Xuan waved his hand again and again, "This is the fairy's tea, how can you drink it below?"

"It doesn't matter. The fairy smiled slightly, "On the occasion of Brother Dao's future, I have already drunk a cup. ”

"Haha, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”

Su Xuan took the teacup, and just as he was about to drink it, his hands slipped again, and the teacup fell to the ground again.

This time it won't be an accident, the fairy's voice was low, and he said indifferently, "How did you find out?"

Su Xuan said in a good time: "First, I knocked on the door earlier, but you didn't respond inside. ”

"Second, when I asked you your name, you shirked left and right, and refused to tell you for a long time. Moreover, in order to get me to drink this so-called green tea, you seem too anxious. ”

"Third, and it's also the point where you show the most flaws. ”

Su Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the snow-white beast above his head, shook his head and said, "As a girl, isn't it incredible that you turned a blind eye to such a cute and charming little guy, and instead focused all your attention on me?"

"Meow. ”

This kind of demeaning oneself and using it to elevate others is very satisfying for the little one.

"Thanks for the compliment, thank you for the compliment!"

Su Xuan hurriedly nodded and responded, as if he had received some great compliment.

The fairy looked directly at him who looked like a villain, and his beautiful eyes, which were as few as stars, seemed to have fallen from the heavens to the ground, contaminated with all the sins of the mortal world.

Su Xuan couldn't stand the other party's eyes, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit that all of the above is my nonsense." Actually, the reason why I was able to find out was only because as soon as I entered the door, the little guy told me that you were just a painted skin. ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the fairy in front of him suddenly emitted a pitch-black and evil smoke, and the original pure beauty suddenly transformed into a thin faceless skin, floating strangely in the air.

"Sure enough......"

Su Xuan held his breath and was on guard with all his might.

The faceless painting skin didn't know where the voice came from, and his tone was sarcastic: "Just this little beast, can you see the true body of the deity?"

"Meow!"

The little snow-white beast bared its teeth and roared at the skin.

Just a demon, dare to call the deity?

"Meow!"

Su Xuan obediently stretched out his hands, but the little guy opened his mouth and spit two mouthfuls of saliva on it, he suddenly made a bitter face and thought to himself, what does this mean?

However, Su Xuan found that the saliva spit out by the snow-white beast was not fishy, but had a faint pleasant fragrance.

"Meow ......"

The little one let out a long call, as if to explain.

"Really?" After listening to this, Su Xuan was overjoyed, and looked at the two stalls of saliva on his hands in disbelief.

At this time, the painting skin in front of him was impatient, and his voice suddenly became gloomy and hoarse, and it was no longer as pleasant as a fairy.

"Little ghost, I originally wanted you to die without sorrow or pain. Now you have brought it upon yourself, all men deserve to die, and I will let you taste the punishment of purgatory, and disappear miserably in your wailing. ”

Su Xuan was secretly speechless, looking aggrieved, thinking to himself that he was just molesting you, why do you have to be so cruel, can't you treat me gently?

But even if he knew what he was saying, he wouldn't pay attention to it. I saw it floating with a paper-thin body, a miserable white face, and rushed up with a sharp claw.

And Su Xuan seemed to be stupid by this situation, and stood in place in a daze, without any movement. Knowing that the painted skin rushed in front of him, the black nails were about to touch his skin, so he stretched out his hands and subconsciously blocked in front of him, wanting to grab its claws.

Although the painted skin has no face, it can make people feel that it is sneering at the moment. And it is indeed a mockery, the ghost thing of painted skin has disappeared from the outside world for a long time, and people seem to have forgotten that it is covered with poison and must not be touched. And Su Xuan now actually wants to use his body to restrain its poisonous hand, how can this make the painting skin not sneer secretly?

With its acquiescence, Su Xuan blocked the attack of the painted skin as he wished, while his hands tightly grasped its poisonous claws.

Painted skin sneered, thinking that this kid would be dealt with so easily, and he knew that it would not take so much effort before. But before it could get enough of its complacency, the sharp pain from the poisonous claws suddenly brought it to its senses.

"This, what is this?!"

Painted skin was taken aback, and the black flames burning on his paws could not be extinguished.

"No one can harm the body of the deity, except ......"

It suddenly saw the water stain on Su Xuan's palm that faintly exuded divinity, and its whole body trembled violently.

"Is that the sap of the Pu God? No way, you are a little imp of the Terrans, how can you get such a thing!"

As the painting skin said to Su Xuan before, but this result is just the opposite. The flames spread rapidly down its arms and throughout its body, and the painted skin disappeared miserably in a wail.

"That's it, it's over?"

Su Xuan watched dumbfounded, the painting skin was burned by the strange black flame, and there was not even a trace of ashes left. And with its demise, this heavenly landscape began to change dramatically.

After the dazzling light, Su Xuan rubbed his eyes and found that he was now in a bleak and dilapidated house, where the green trees and flowers, pavilions and pavilions had all disappeared.

A few turquoise poisonous insects suddenly came out of his feet, his face changed, he raised his foot and trampled them to death, remembering the tea that had just been stained in his mouth, and vomited slightly.

"It's really green tea!"

A picture scroll appeared in front of me out of thin air, and the background painted on it was the same as the beautiful scenery in which it was before, and under the pavilion, it took only a few brushstrokes to outline the beautiful back of a woman.

Su Xuan thought to himself, could this be the source of the painted skin just now?

"Meow. ”

The snow-white beast looked at the enchanting back of the woman in the painting, and her royal blue eyes were faintly shining. The little paw stretched out halfway out, trying to touch, but suddenly retracted halfway through.

In its sudden impatient urging, Su Xuan put away the scroll, put it behind his back, and began to walk towards the house.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw a woman in a plain robe, with a light veil tied to a pillar, as if she had passed out.

Su Xuan's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that the painted skin still has twin sisters?"

The snow-white beast sneered, its big tail caressing his cheek unceremoniously.

Su Xuan's face turned red, thinking that it was just a joke, why was he so serious.

This kidnapped woman should be the real disciple of Xianmiao Pavilion. I was trapped by the painted skin before, but I don't know why I didn't devour her in time, but I just tied her here.

Although it is said that entering the Eclipse Mausoleum is to compete for the Lingqi and thus obtain the last place to participate in the imperial examination, everyone should be in a competitive relationship with each other. But Su Xuan still couldn't save a weak woman from death, so he hurriedly untied the rope that bound the other party, leaned it against the wall, and quietly waited for her to wake up.

"Meow. ”

The snow-white beast suddenly jumped down from the top of his head, his little nose wrinkled, and he sniffed the breath on the woman's body, and the little fox's face suddenly showed a thoughtful look.

Su Xuan was shocked, thinking that it was going to uncover the woman's masked light veil, and immediately stopped it loudly: "No, don't look at it." Such impolite behavior is by no means the behavior of a gentleman. ”

The little guy's eyes rolled, and he gently glanced at the panicked Su Xuan, with an indescribable mockery.

Such a low-level method of agitation can only be imagined by a stupid human like you.

Su Xuan's face was embarrassed, thinking to himself if he was not pretending to be righteous enough just now, it seems that he has not observed carefully enough, and he will have to study hard with the senior brother in the future!

However, looking at the plain skirt of the light gauze woman, his breathing became heavier and heavier.

"The weather is so hot, and she is still veiled, isn't she afraid of prickly heat on her face?" Su Xuan was worried, and he was very worried about the woman in front of him, "Ning Xuan said that the most important thing for a girl's family is her own appearance. If she really had prickly heat, then she would be very distressed. ”

"Hmm. He nodded matter-of-fact and continued to talk to himself, "The so-called saving people to the end, I will solve this worry for you, you must not be too grateful to me." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and slowly lifted the girl's veil of light under the disdainful eyes of the snow-white beast.

............

"Uh......"

With a sigh, the unconscious girl finally slowly opened her eyes.

Su Xuan couldn't help but secretly praise, although the painting skin was a little wronged, but he had to say that its method of transformation was indeed a bit of a doorway. At least, the girl's starry eyes were imitated by it to the fullest.

The girl saw Su Xuan in front of her, squatting on the ground, staring at herself without blinking, and showing a lewd smile from time to time, but her brows were slightly furrowed, but she didn't look surprised or panicked at all.

I heard her ask crisply, "Where's the painted skin, did you save me?"

Su Xuan scratched his head, and finally realized that his behavior at the moment was a little indecent, and hurriedly got up and bowed his head and said, "Sort of, the painted skin is dead." ”

The girl suddenly touched the light veil on her face, and her eyes finally became more solemn: "Have you seen my face?"

"Uh......"

In the eyes of the snow-white beast, Su Xuan stubbornly denied it: "No...... Not really. ”

The girl stood up, patted the dust on the hem of her skirt, looked at the half-grown boy, and said earnestly: "Has anyone told you that you really can't lie?" ”

Hearing her slightly mocking tone, Su Xuan was secretly unconvinced, and replied seriously: "This really exists, my sister told me when she was a child!"

However, he immediately reacted, as if the main contradiction now was not on this issue, right?

Su Xuan picked at the corners of his clothes and said with a blushing face, "I'm sorry." ”

Seeing that the girl did not respond, he then asked worriedly: "Do you have the strange custom of letting other people of the opposite sex see their true faces, and you must let the other party marry?"

The girl glanced at him lightly, and said coldly, "You think too much." ”

"That's good, that's good. Su Xuan muttered repeatedly, but the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was happy or regretful.

"Meow!"

Seeing this scene, the snow-white beast on the side did not give him face at all, and rolled on the ground happily.

Self-inflicted human beings......

Su Xuan's face froze, thinking that this is good, he has another nickname.

When the girl saw the snow-white beast, her eyes suddenly showed a look of love, but her voice was still cold: "Wow, what a cute kitten." ”

"Meow. ”

The little guy rolled his eyes, and Su Xuan implemented the translation: "It's not a cat. ”

The girl nodded when she heard this, and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a cat or not, the key is that it's cute." ”

The snow-white beast tilted its head to look at her, its eyes showing deep approval.

Su Xuan rubbed his hands, with a tangled expression that he wanted to see but was embarrassed to watch. After all, unlike what he had conjured up before, he was already convinced that the other party was just a ghost at that time, so after the initial crampedness, he became more and more relaxed, and even dared to make a joke. But now, standing in front of him is a living human girl, not to mention that he just took advantage of his coma to secretly lift the veil of others and see the true face of the other party, which makes him not feel weak when facing it?

In the end, Su Xuan still rubbed his hands and stammered, "You...... Hello, my name is Su Xuan, a disciple of Fengtian Sect. ”

The girl looked at him curiously, with an inexplicable expression.

Su Xuan was a little annoyed by her, and complained with a red face, "Won't you introduce yourself?"

The girl suddenly showed a sudden look, but then tilted her head, and said with a defensive posture: "Why do I have to introduce me to you when you introduce yourself?

Su Xuan thought to himself that he was just introducing himself, and it had nothing to do with frivolity or anything, right?

But thinking about what the girl said, he didn't seem to be able to find a single fault, so he still lowered his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry." ”

The snow-white beast approached the girl, and suddenly felt that it was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
