Chapter 41: Painted Skin

After a short time, Liu Qi and I came to the depths of Dixian Village, which was also near the tomb.

There is a temple there.

It is called the Temple of the Immortals.

And the statue enshrined in the temple is none other than the red robe, but the face is not carved, it seems to be okay, and it seems to have been erased.

But I recognized it at a glance.

That's my wife.

At this time, Liu Qi's face was strange, he looked at me, then at the statue, and after a while, he said with some uncertainty: "It can't be her, right?" ”

"yes, that's her!" I smiled and nodded.

After receiving my affirmative answer, the strange look on Liu Qi's face was a little more.

But to my surprise, he didn't seem to doubt it, just sighed and said, "I kind of get it." ”

He shook his head as he spoke.

He whispered, "Isn't he afraid of being a sinner?" ”

"What?"

I asked.

I couldn't hear what he was saying, I could only vaguely hear him say what he was talking about, but this time he didn't mean to explain it to me, but asked me, "You've come here, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Sleep here."

I thought about it for a moment and said.

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed at the same time, and only after a moment did he say, "I understand, no one will come here to disturb you tonight, but we will only give you one night." ”

"After tonight, if you die, we will take your body out of Dixian Village and bury it outside Dixian Village."

"If you're still alive......"

"Just keep your promise."

I looked at him and said, "Looks like you know everything." ”

Liu Qi smiled bitterly.

I spread my hands: "Actually, you don't need to go around so many bends with me, tell me the truth from the beginning, I can stand it, but I just inherit a sacrificial wine inheritance." ”

"Little things!"

"But before you get out of here." I looked at everyone, "I'm going to have to borrow something from you." ”

I walked over to the offering table and took the incense burner from above in my hand.

At this moment, my second natal inheritance incense has been burned, which means that I have no means to save my life in the future, so I can only borrow another amulet.

This talisman naturally had to be borrowed from Liu Qi and them.

In the sacrificial wine lineage, there is a Dharma name borrowed from life.

This life can be thought of as borrowing the life of the other party.

But that's just for the average person.

If it is to borrow life from people like Liu Qi and them, it is to use the other party's luck to resist a catastrophe.

It is also because of this that it is expressly forbidden to borrow lives from ordinary people in the sacrificial wine line, and borrowing lives can only be borrowed from people who are more capable than themselves, because such people's luck is generally more vigorous, and it is not difficult for them to take it back if they lend it out, even if they can't get it back, they will not have to worry about their lives, at most they will be unlucky for a period of time.

Hearing my words, Liu Qi obviously knew my intentions, and without hesitation, he directly tore a hair from his head and threw it into the incense burner in my hand.

Then everyone else did the same.

Under normal circumstances, they naturally wouldn't borrow it, and even if it wouldn't hurt too much, it would be impossible for them to use their luck to help someone they just met.

Partially.

This is not an ordinary situation.

They also can't refuse.

It wasn't until everyone had thrown their hair in the censer that I lit the hair in the censer, and the hair of dozens of people would have burned all at once, but in this censer it burned very slowly like incense.

Seeing this, Liu Qi and the others left.

The moment the door of the temple closed, I slowly walked to the offering table, then climbed to the offering table and tore the wound on my finger that had healed again, and then drew little by little on the face of the statue with my own blood.

I'm no stranger to her, but I'm not familiar with her either.

I've only seen her face a few times, and a few of them are very hasty, so I can only draw her eyes, nose, and mouth little by little according to my impression!

It's called Painted Skin!

It's not a painting skin in the chat, but a skin bag is drawn, so that the soul that can't live in peace ......

Return!

Her soul should have been here.

It's just that she was taken away by her godfather back then, and then became my wife on that day, and since then she has stayed in the temple of Taishan Mansion on Mount Tai.

And that's not where she belongs.

So along the way, she was hinting at me.

I don't know why she didn't tell me directly during those face-to-face meetings, but I can be sure that she was hinting that I would do it.

It's like that dream.

In the dream, she was godless.

It's like those who have no master in the ancestral hall.

It's just that if I had made another choice when I came here, she might have stayed there forever.

I have to say that the godfather calculated everything.

Now, I'm doing this to draw her face, and as long as her statue's face is restored, it means that she will be offered incense again in this immortal village.

Although Taishan Mansion Jun is an ancient and powerful ancient god, he can't leave an immortal with incense offerings.

Even if it's just an earth immortal called by ordinary people.

That's one of the things I came here to do.

By the time I dug up the grave, when I returned to the ancestral hall to receive the sacrificial wine, it was clear in my mind.

It's just that it's hard to paint the skin.

Even if you can't draw a face that looks exactly like a real person, it needs to look like a god, at least not too abstract.

It's actually a bit hard for me.

When I was in school, I also learned to draw, but I didn't pay much attention to it, and more often than not, I watched the young and beautiful long-legged art teacher.

Luckily, I didn't have a lot to draw, so I was able to do it even though it was difficult.

I drew one stroke at a time.

It took an hour to finally draw her eyes.

Then I started drawing her nose.

And as her eyes were drawn, I could already feel a gaze staring at me somewhere, as if waiting for me to paint the face completely.

Instead of looking for that gaze, I calmly drew my nose carefully.

Another hour passed, and the nose was drawn.

I began to notice what seemed to be a red shadow behind me.

I still didn't look back, but continued to draw her mouth.

It was also at this time that a wisp of incense wafted out.

Her hand grabbed my neck at this point.

I felt almost suffocated, and the movements of my hands stopped, and I smiled and said, "If you come back, the first thing you will do is kill me." ”

"There's no need to say that when you're in the cave with me."

"Wife."

"You're older than me, though."

"But I'm an adult too."

"I'll be responsible for you."
