Chapter 51: A Long Night of Talking
Chi Tang and Xue Yang's faces were pale, they didn't know if it was the tragic past that caused Xiao Pei to lose his mind in an instant, but soon, the grimace was full of white gas, and the description of Xiao Pei sitting upright reappeared, still with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "I'm kidding you, after so many years, I don't know how many times the past has been repeated in my heart, so now when I mention it again, I won't change my gaffe anymore, it's just a little ups and downs." In fact, there are many people who are a hundred times more miserable than me, so why should I be indignant because of the early death of my youth and the murder of all my families?"
"But when I first died, I was in the same form as before, hateful, angry, hysterical, angry. I soon found out that I could let some people see me if I wanted to, and when they saw me, their eyes were about to fall out, and what do you say? Yes, that kind of ghostly look, but I could only scare them in this way, but I couldn't kill them, until I found out that I could still get into the body of some people and use my mind to control their behavior, and that was a very good way. The first person I killed was my sister, and I couldn't watch her being molested day and night by the thieves, so I got on one of them, and plunged a knife into my sister's heart as she cried, so that she could be freed from it. Then it took me a whole month to kill all the thieves who came into my house stained with my family's blood, maybe most of them. The method is also very simple, as long as I get up at the right time, I think, I must have been a ghost at that time, a ghost full of revenge. Even if you think like you now, when you see me at that time, you must want to get rid of me as a scourge. ”
Xiao Pei paused for a moment, and sighed faintly: "After killing the people who should be killed, I found that I really fell into loneliness, once thriving along the white water, only a lot of white bones remained, except for the wild dogs that had eaten the dead, the only life I could see was the occasional bird that passed by me in the air, I don't know if they could see me, but even if I did, I believe that there was no difference between a person and a soul in their eyes......"
"If you talk about enemies, in addition to this group of outcasts and thieves who directly killed you and your family, in fact, there are also those clan patriarchs who betrayed your father, they are the most hateful, just for their own lives, and they pushed Ling Zun, who does his best to take care of them every day, into the danger of dying and ruining their families, such people should be killed the most, didn't you go to them?" Chi Tang hated such shameless people the most.
Xiao Pei smiled lightly, her smile was matched with the lights in the room and the white air that was entwined and floating, it turned out to be a different kind of sadness: "Sometimes, God may be just, and those who betray others will end up just as sadly. The patriarchs of the clan who betrayed my father all died on the same day, and it was the homeless people who secretly communicated with them who killed them, and the strong defense line had shown cracks, and the homeless army with no faith at all naturally would not let go of this opportunity to loot and burn on a large scale, and after killing all my family members and looting all the grain and straw of my family, they immediately began to slaughter those clans. As I said earlier, along the shores of Baishui, where people were once thriving, only white bones remained, and it was because of this massacre that the corpses of men were exposed to the wild, and women were abducted in crying, and in those days, Baishui was blood-red and blood-red......"
Chi Tang and Xue Yang were silent, this is the troubled times, human life is like a mustard, the blood of the father and the mother, and the pregnancy in October, because it is the life of the spirit of all things, and they are reduced to the ashes of ants one by one. ...,
"When I floated in mid-air, the years passed, but I didn't know if a year had passed...... Two years...... It's still ten years and a hundred years, and the sun always rises in the east and sets in the west, but for me, it's just a difference in light and darkness. It's been a long time, and my anger has finally calmed down, but I don't want to go anywhere, just hovering around where I lived before I lived, the best way to pass the time is to sing, I liked to sing the most when I was alive, but at that time, especially after I understood something, I liked to sing love songs like "Jiang Zhongzi" and "Bai Zhou", oh, I forgot to tell you, I took a fancy to a teenager in the village at that time, but my father thought he was from a humble background, so I have been making trouble with my father for this reason. So I liked to sing these love songs more and more, but after I died, I realized the true meaning of life and death, so Ruan Sizong's Yonghuai became my favorite song when I was alone......"
“...... Life is like dust and dew, and the way of heaven is ......" Xue Yang suddenly sang, chanting these two sentences a few times, Xiao Pei glanced at him, and also spoke in harmony: "Life is like dust and dew, and the way of heaven is Miao." ”
This is exactly when the white-faced scholar was buried on the top of the mustard mountain, Xiao Pei sang in the glass bottle, the tune was tactful, the timbre was light, and the melody contained a trace of deep sadness.
"For example, morning dew, go to the day and suffer a lot......" Chi Tang sighed with the same meaning, the true meaning of life and death, not in the transformation of the earthly netherworld, but between going and staying there is often too much melancholy and sorrow, under the infection of the song, he can't help but recall the battle on the full moon night, the death of those siblings, that is a living life has disappeared by his side, if you want to sing about wine, such as thinking about the calyx, no more, no more......
The atmosphere was a little solemn for a while, and after a long silence, Chi Tang turned around from his thoughts and blurted out, "What about that young man? I mean the young man you like?"
Xiao Pei smiled faintly: "What else can he do? Strange to say, I always remember that I liked him, but his face is unusually vague in my retrospect, and I don't remember what he looked like. Well, it's time to get down to business, it's about how I met the Feng family girl, I said so much in my case. ”
Even if time is like flowing water, it will always gradually dilute everything, but the sad past will still make people fall into pain, so Xiao Pei withdrew in time and began to change the topic, when talking about this topic, the smile on Xiao Pei's face was obviously happy: "It should be three years ago, I was still floating around on the shore of white water, where after decades, it has changed, some new families have rebuilt their houses there, and the once dead and dry fields have gradually gained popularity. And my favorite thing at that time was to continue my singing in the middle of the night, and I knew that those people could hear it, or at least if I wanted them to hear it, and no one dared to open the door and come out to see where the song came from, and they knew that it was the voice of a ghost. But that day, as soon as I finished singing, I saw a beautiful girl holding her legs, leaning on the rocks on the bank of the white water, and seemed to be listening very attentively. And at the same time I looked at her, she also looked at me with interest, and there was a layer of white mist in her bright eyes, but there was no permanent look of horror when she saw me, and then I felt myself involuntarily drifting towards where she was. ”
The power of soul control, Chi Tang almost forgot, Feng Yingxiu shocked them in addition to the ability to control beasts, in fact, she herself is a mysterious spirit person with the power of soul control, Xue Yang said, this is a character like a goddess.
I pointed to myself and signaled to her that I hadn't used that kind of telekinesis, and that normal people couldn't see me, but she nodded and smiled and let me sit next to her. That night was not only the first time I had dealt with a living person, but it was also the first time I had spoken since I became a spirit, and I didn't know what I was talking about, and I was not fluent in my speech, and the language seemed to be a very foreign thing to me. In this way, she and I hit it off at first sight, like best friends who have known each other for many years, and that night, we talked about each other's past until dawn. From her mouth, I know her first name, Feng Yingxiu, a beautiful name, isn't it?"...,
Xue Yang shrugged, noncommittal.
"Thanks to meeting her, I suddenly felt that as a soul, there can be a lot of fun things. It was she who suggested that she should take me with me, to experience a lot of interesting things, to experience a completely different day than when I was alive. It's a day I never thought I'd be her accomplice in the days when I cheated the rich and the rich out of their money, hee-hee, it's so funny, I just sing, scary, looking at the rich and old men who are scared by my form. I think I'm back to being the way a woman should have been when I died. With her, I also learned a lot of foul language, let me tell you, oh, she is not simple, she can make those birds and beasts listen to her commands, not only the grains of rice and the beautiful ...... you see."
Xue Yang muttered, "Yes, and the monkey with the cart whose butt is redder than his face." ”
"Once she met a bandit, there were more than 100 people on the other side, holding a bright knife, all of them were vicious, I was going to use the body of those bandits to help her, but those people were too angry, I couldn't bully me for a while, and I felt helpless, but guess what? After a short while, a group of fierce beasts such as tigers, bears, wolves and leopards suddenly came, protecting her and scaring those bandits into the wilderness. ”
"It's not strange, if she is more profound, she can even control the demon beasts with gnosis......" Xue Yang replied with an expression that was already clear to him.
"So you've always wanted to woo her, let her into your family, just like the maid who escorted Princess Chenghan to the capital this time, did you give her this idea?" Xiao Pei's smile was a little proud.
Xue Yang was stunned: "You see it?"
"Our sisters have been walking for so long, how can you not see this little bit of care? Don't talk about me, she also knows this very well, but she just pretends not to know on the surface. ”
Xue Yang thought about it carefully, and had to say that her tricks really couldn't hide the meticulous and shrewd Feng Yingxiu, especially when she had revealed that she wanted to pull her in, she was even more attentive, after taking the job she recommended, she must have also saved the meaning of investigation and investigation, thinking of this, Xue Yang said very simply: "Miss Xiaopei, then you say, is it possible for her to enter our door?" To be honest, her kind of beast control power, as long as our Qianjia secret method is tempered a little, she can have supreme magical powers, exterminate demons or something, no matter how powerful. ”
"I'm afraid it was difficult before, she is a person who doesn't want to be restrained, especially the characters in those demon paths are not good. But now...... If the Qianjia family is a person of such temperament as you, it is not impossible for her to join you, in the most practical words, who wants to always wander alone by herself if she can rely on a powerful tree?"
Xue Yang smiled: "This can be regarded as an affirmation of our character? You can rest assured that the disciples of the Qianjia family are all kind-hearted, responsible and moral heroes." Suddenly remembered Dong Yao, and added: "There are also female disciples, she won't be embarrassed at all when she comes." ”
"Women, after all, have to entrust themselves to the deed, and always have to find a good home, either warm and friendly relatives and friends, or honest and reliable good men. Xiao Pei suddenly said and looked at Chi Tang and Xue Yang.
Xue Yang is basically similar to Yumu's head in this regard, and he didn't understand the deep meaning of Xiao Pei's words at all, but Chi Tang laughed dumbly, he was older, and this kind of rhetoric had also been heard, it was mostly what those martial arts friends of the wealthy family in the past wanted to say to him to recommend concubines and women, how could he not hear the thoughts, but he never thought that Feng Yingxiu would be like him, no matter how old the two were in temperament, they were too different, so he quickly bypassed the meaning of the words: "Then this Feng girl doesn't know what the origin is?" How to possess the two divine powers of beast control and soul control?"...,
"I naturally know a little bit about her origin, but without her permission, I can't talk nonsense behind her back, after all, it's my Feng sister-in-law. You ask her face to face, do you want to say that it's all up to her, doesn't she still deserve your 500 gold, there will be this opportunity in the future. ”
The long night of conversation has finally come to an end, Xue Yang and Chi Tang's originally heavy and depressed mood has now become excellent, Xue Yang stretched out very comfortably: "It's really a fruitful night, my wish is enough, but it's time to sleep, I bet that I will fall asleep as soon as my head touches the pillow." ”
Xiao Pei's white figure flickered, and he stood up from the side of the kang: "Two heroes, let's sleep, after talking so much, the sky is almost dawn." ”
"Thank you, Miss Xiaopei. Chi Tang smiled and saluted, sat on the kang, and began to take off his cloak coat, which was about to fall asleep, but as soon as he took off his cloak, he was suddenly stunned and looked at Cao Xiaopei, whose figure was still floating in the house.
Anyway, this Cao Xiaopei is a woman after all, even if it is a ghost, it is still a woman, and it is too inappropriate for a big man to undress in front of her.
Xiao Pei floated away very interestingly: "You sleep, I don't have any interest in watching men sleep, I'm going to go around." The figure seeped through the cracks in the wooden door.
"Don't sing again. Xue Yang added jokingly, and then, lying down sideways, pulled the bedding.
He was right, before Chi Tang's clothes were taken off, Xue Yang's snoring came from the kang.
