72 Awakened

Although Jiangling is adjacent to southern Xinjiang, the two sides have been distinct for thousands of years.

In addition to the huge cultural differences, the bordering borders are also extremely dangerous. Not only are the poisonous jungles and hidden peaks, but there are also treacherous forbidden places.

The Ten Thousand Graves is one of them.

This place is located in the Yanlan Mountain, where countless resentful spirits and living corpses gather.

In addition to being a paradise for the undead, it is rumored that there are also big demons haunting, so no one dares to enjoy the scenery of Yanlan Mountain, no matter how magnificent it is.

- That's how it should have been. But under the clear blue moon, next to the mirror-like lakeside, there is a woman in plain clothes and white clothes.

Her eyes were hollow, and she looked down at the green water in a dream, and then she took a step and walked straight ahead.

The expected sound of falling water was not heard, and the woman seemed to be silently swallowed up by a huge mirror, and no one could be found again.

……

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a cramped house, damp vines crawling all over the windowsill, letting in no daylight.

The smell of mold filled the air, and the woman frowned slightly, and before she could understand what was happening, she heard a shrill curse outside the house.

"Two little bastards, get out of here!" The man began to slam the door hard: "I want to pay for the room again this month, don't you?" It's really shameless, just like your father and mother who died young-"

"We've already done it."

A teenage little radish head stood in front of her: "My sister obviously paid twenty spirit stones, and the room fee for one year is enough!" ”

The man was familiar, and the woman felt as if her mind had been sealed in a locked box, and it took her a while to find the most important thing in the thick dust.

"Are you...... Xiao Fan? ”

"Sister, don't be afraid."

Bai Fan patted her arm like a little adult: "At that time, the note they received the spirit stone was still there, and we didn't hand it over, they didn't dare to do anything to us." ”

Bai Yuanyuan looked at the young man in front of him.

He is still young now, his facial features have not yet grown, and he is also small, and he still needs to stand on tiptoe when confronting people outside the house.

"I'm not afraid, thank you Xiaofan."

Xiao Baihua squatted down and lowered her tone: "You're right, we'll be fine." ”

……

No, it's not.

After the death of their father and mother, the two siblings lived on the meager savings they left behind. Unexpectedly, I met a wicked shopkeeper who was quite unreasonable, collected the spirit stone, and had to blackmail five times.

On this day, the shopkeeper repeated his old trick, and when he saw that they were unwilling to pay for anything, he sent someone to beat them up, breaking his brother's leg alive, and then throwing them out like garbage.

Both parents died and had no support, two gadgets L with no background and no backing, and they beat it, and the shopkeeper didn't take it to heart.

Strangely, less than a week after the incident, he was found dead on his bed, which had broken off the beam above his head while he was sleeping, and smashed him into a pulp.

At that time, it was also summer, and it was damp, hot and rainy in southern Xinjiang, and it was reasonable that the stilted buildings that had fallen into disrepair would decay and collapse.

Everyone thought it was just a tragic accident.

[Was it really an accident?] 】

The male and female voiceover sounded: [That's when you met your master, right? 】

"Master?"

Bai Yuanyuan instinctively retorted: "We are just trading, he is not my master." ”

[hehe......] The voiceover is noncommittal.

[When you and your brother were beaten to the point of breathing, it was the master who saved the two of you. 】

[In return, of course, you have to do things for the master...... How can it be said to be a transaction? 】

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Deals.

Bai Yuanyuan's eyes fell into a daze again, and in a trance, countless memory images flashed through his mind.

It was raining heavily that day, and she carried her unconscious brother on her back and walked in the rain for a long, long time until she was picked up by an evil demon when she strayed into the area of the Ten Thousand Graves.

"Tsk, our little guest is so pitiful."

The demon had the appearance of a human youth, with crimson Buddha beads on his wrists, and his every move was full of demonic strangeness.

"Why don't you do it."

The demon lay idly on the chaise longue, his black robe hanging down to his ankles, and his tone was lazy: "How about I help you kill the person who beat you like this." ”

Even if Bai Yuanyuan is still very weak at this time, he can see that the other party is definitely not human.

Xiao Baihua didn't believe that there would be gifts in the world for no reason, so she silently spoke: "So, what is the price." ”

"Nothing is needed."

The demon grinned, as if looking at a perfect corpse whose vitality was constantly dying: "Just work for this seat, it's easy. β€œ

Bai Yuanyuan subconsciously didn't think it was simple.

As the so-called free is the most expensive, she has heard many rumors of selling her soul to evil things, and she does not want to do it unless she has to.

Seeing that she didn't nod her head, the demon made another suggestion.

"This seat can also let you survive, and it can also help you reattach the leg of the kid next to you."

The monster's voice lingered in the monstrous rain and mist: "In return, you have to do something for me." ”

"Can I ask what to do?"

"Of course you can." The demon bared a mouthful of sharp teeth: "You only need to go to a certain Terran family in Gangneung and stay there, and you don't have to do anything else." ”

It adds, "You are related to them, and according to the rules of human society, they will take you in." ”

"Okay."

Bai Yuanyuan agreed.

She didn't pursue the other party's purpose.

Even if she understood: what the evil creature really wanted to do could never be as light as it said.

- But so what?

Who made the demon make a condition that he couldn't refuse?

Bai Yuanyuan wiped the blood that kept gushing from the corner of his mouth.

She wants to live, and she also wants her unconscious brother back to health.

She is willing to pay any price for these two wishes.

……

[Do you regret it?] The voiceover continues: "Let me see, hmm......]

[You actually thought about telling the Song family about this? ] The voice sneered.

I used to ...... I thought about it that way

?

Bai Yuanyuan's pupils seemed to be covered with a layer of gray dust, and she vaguely remembered that her brother seemed to have tried very hard to persuade herself.

"Sister, why do we have to go to Song's house?"

Although he didn't know what was going on, his already broken legs recovered in one day, and even if Bai Fan was sluggish, he found out that something was wrong.

"My mother also said that she has already drawn a line with her family, is it really necessary to find this relative?"

He grew up with his sister, and he knew the stubbornness of the other party's weak appearance, and he couldn't understand it when he couldn't stop the other party's decision.

"What happened after I passed out?" Bai Fan asked, "Sister, I think you must have something to hide from me." ”

&nbs

p; Bai Yuanyuan didn't want to tell him, but the other party even guessed, and he really guessed it.

"What did my sister see in Yanlan Mountain?"

Bai Fan looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and frowned: "If the things in there want to hurt others......

"That's enough."

Xiao Baihua interrupted him: "You don't want to hurt others, but how can others treat us kindly?" ”

"Did you forget about your leg after it hurt? When you were beaten, did you ever think about why others would do this to you? ”

"Sister...... Don't be angry. ”

Bai Fan lowered his eyebrows and coaxed her, but refused to back down half a point.

"If the demons are forced to do this, then let me bear the price." He whispered, "I don't want to build my life on anyone's sacrifice...... Especially you, sister. ”

"I just thought about it, my sister will do this, and it is very likely that it is also for me."

Bai Fan said apologetically: "My attitude just now was too bad, I'm sorry...... But I really don't want to see my kind sister pollute her heart because she wants to protect me. ”

Bai Yuanyuan snorted coldly.

What is it and what is it?

That's why she hates stupid people.

is a fool like Bai Fan, if it weren't for her own brother, she would have left it alone.

Xiao Baihua thought that she didn't have much to do with kindness, but seeing the other party's dog-like well-behaved eyes, she decided to coax the other party casually.

"You think too much, the evil thing didn't let me kill people and set fires."

Bai Yuanyuan said lightly: "I have already done what it asked me to do, and I just wanted to go to the Song family." ”

"Really?"

"That's right." She made up her mind not to let Bai Fan get involved in this matter: "You don't know, the Song family is a famous family in Jiangling. ”

Bai Fan shook his head, he had never heard the father and mother of the two of them say it.

In fact, even Bai Yuanyuan only knew, but she tried her best to act like she had heard of it.

"At least you don't have to worry about food and clothing when you go to the Xianmen family, it's no better than having a meal here without a meal."

So said the little white flower.

Speaking from the heart, what my brother said is not without any reason.

She also vaguely guessed what the demon must be doing to the Song family...... If the Song family is good to her, she can't take the risk and reveal some news.

[Almost you became a traitor.] 】

The voiceover sounded again, threatening: "If you really betray our masterβ€”"

Its words came to an abrupt halt as the woman who had fallen into the Mirror Lake had come to her senses.

The surface of the lake was torn apart like broken glass, and the little white flower jumped up from it on a terracotta figurine mount.

Fragments splashed, glittering in the turquoise moonlight.

"Jinglan, hurry up and get out!"

Even in front of that annoying sword cultivation girl, Bai Yuanyuan had never been so angry.

Huge terracotta figurines smashed into the lake, as if to crush every piece of broken mirror into powder.

"Oops, so angry."

A monster named Kagami Lan grinned and emerged from the bottom of the lake.

"I'm just kidding you."

The mirror demon has a translucent white body, suspended above the head of the little white flower, like a ghost without a sound.

It looked provocative: "I didn't expect you to really get tricked...... Tsk, as the master's left protector, I thought you could dodge my illusion. ”

Oh, by the way, she's now the demon's left protector.

Xiao Baihua calmed down, maybe people are good and don't learn, but bad people learn quite quickly, she obviously inherited Chu Yu's style of smiling and angry: "It's a pity, it's useless to be envious." ”

The smile on the mirror demon's face almost couldn't be hung up: "I am the earliest demon who followed the master, and I am also the right protector of the master, you say I envy you?" Envy a human being? ”

"Your Excellency has summoned me more often than you have summoned you, and what about human beings."

The little white flower whistled, and a figure ran in the distance.

It was a young man who looked a little like her, with a large hole in his chest, and a red fire lotus could be faintly seen blooming in the place that originally belonged to the heart.

"Smash this mirror for me."

Bai Yuanyuan narrowed his eyes and instructed the man.

Maybe it can't be called a human either.

Although it looks the same as a human, judging from the strong evil aura on its body, it should be a monster that has just been transformed for a long time.

"Okay, sister."

Bai Fan smashed his fist to the ground, and the earth instantly cracked into ravines, and the originally fragmented Mirror Lake became even more embarrassed again.

"You ......"

The mirror demon was angry, but he couldn't stop it, so he could only watch his nest being smashed to pieces.

"I'm kidding, too."

Bai Yuanyuan sneered happily.

The mirror demon was furious.

Damn, if it weren't for this living dead, it wouldn't be so jealous of this human being.

But...... Never mind.

She knows all about her past.

"The person next to you is not a ghost or a ghost, it seems that it is not the same as in memory."

The mirror demon switched to a kind of voice, and his tone was sad: "Sister Yuanyuan, you have turned me like this, will I really be happy?" ”

"......" seemed to be poked in the center, and the little white flower sank her face again.

"Try one more word." She said coldly: "Don't think I dare not kill you. ”

"Haha, of course you dare, what would you not dare." The mirror demon continued to provoke: "You don't even dare to pretend to be the memory of your brother, what's the matter, are you afraid that he will come to his senses and be disappointed to see your sister become a minion of demons?" ”

It dodged the terracotta figurines' attack: "By the way, although you have not betrayed our master, you are also a traitor to the human race." ”

As if he had found something funny, the Mirror Demon became even more rampant: "If your human friends knew your true nature, what would they think of you?" ”

"And they just happened to be coming this way."

"...... they?" Xiao Baihua subconsciously asked.

"Yes. They. The mirror demon seemed to be kind enough to tell her: "There are two groups of people, one is an orphan of the Song family, and the other group seems to be two human beings, a man and a woman. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Bai Yuanyuan fell silent.

The past is repeated one by one, and the most impressive thing is the heart-to-heart with the fairy girl in the moonlight, as well as the confession in the hazy smoke and rain.

It's just that all the memories are all lost in the bloody twilight of the last deserted escape.

She stopped her attack.

"I will see me as others like me." Xiao Baihua sniffed: "From now on, I will only do what I want to do." ”

Mirror Demon: "Oh? For example? ”

"I'll go and catch Song Chengjin and make it into terracotta figurines."

She didn't have a hint of expression.

As for the rest......

"Go get rid of them."

Xiao Baihua indifferently instructed Bai Fan: "...... It's better to be able to drive away. ”!
