Chapter 31: Origin

In Chi Tang's impression, even if the unkempt woman was not a particularly delicate and timid weak woman, she should be like the bird that she usually saw, fluttering her wings and flying away at the slightest movement.

But now, she sat in the darkness of the room, not as frightened as she had seen yesterday, and her eyes were as clear as water through her messy hair.

Even what she said just now was a formal and round southern official dialect, with a clear throat and a calm tone.

Let's put it this way, this ragged and unkempt young woman showed an indifferent temperament at this moment, which was extremely unexpected for Chi Tang and Xue Yang.

Chi Tang replied with a gentle smile and hugged his fist at the unkempt woman: "This is disturbing, and we have never embarrassed our mother-in-law, but it seems that there is no understanding between the two times." ”

The unkempt woman suddenly said something to the old woman in Shuzhong dialect, and the old woman relaxed a little, and leaned over to let Chi Tang and Xue Yang arch into the house.

Yes, even if it is arched into the house, the door of the thatched house is also extremely low and narrow, even if the rickety old woman passes by, she has to bow her head, not to mention the two taller men in Chitang Xue Yang?

The space in the house is very small, through the faint light of the small panes, you can see that there is only a thatched bed in the house, a dilapidated clay pot hanging in the house, below is a fire that has been extinguished, and there are a few broken firewood piled on the side, which is expected to be the place where the ordinary stove is cooked, and there is nothing else in the house, which shows that this household is extremely poor.

However, there was no musty smell in the house that was born of the shabby and dilapidated huts, but on the contrary, there was a smell of balsam mixed with charcoal, which was very pleasant.

Chi Tang made a gesture to disturb Mo Wei, and sat down with Xue Yang. Xue Yang reversed his head and looked at the old woman at the door very curiously, seeing that she was always sixty or seventy years old, with wrinkled skin and blank eyes, leaning against the door.

So Xue Yang stood up again and stepped forward to support the old woman: "Grandma, you are an elder and a master, please sit in the house, otherwise we won't dare to sit." ”

The old woman seemed to be extremely surprised by Xue Yang's move, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, she smiled back, and said a few words in her mouth, and she had already been carried back by Xue Yang and sat back on the thatched bed, beside the unkempt woman.

Chi Tang secretly said ashamed, in many small details, he still has the temperament of a child of the family, not to despise the old woman, but that he was anxious to ask, and he didn't notice the old woman at all, or Xue Yang helped the old woman according to the etiquette of respecting the elder, so Chi Tang also straightened up and stretched out his hand to take care of the old woman to sit down, which can be regarded as a hand.

This move obviously won the favor of the master, the old woman looked at Xue Yang Chitang with a lot less guard, and even gave them a shallow smile when they helped each other, and the unkempt woman's eyes also revealed some relief, and she bowed slightly.

"The family is surrounded by four walls, and the guests have no tea, so you can slack off the two. ”

Chi Tang was surprised, where is this what the crazy weird girl in Li Sheng's mouth can say? It seems to be the words of the family members of a big family.

"You're welcome. Chi Tang and Xue Yangfu sat down again, "The girl knows what we're here for, right?"

"Early this morning, I heard from the village that the gods came to get rid of the evil spirits, and a group of people surrounded this place, I am the evil people, and the two of them are the gods, right?"

Chi Tang waved his hand: "The people in the village are talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, girl, in fact, it is our senior brothers who heard that Li Zhuang said your origin, and they were very curious, so they came to ask." To tell you the truth, our brothers and sisters have also experienced all kinds of weird and grotesque things, and we have seen and heard a lot, and the girl doesn't have to think it's too sensational to say it, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

The unkempt woman stared at Chitang Xue Yang and the two for a long time before she spoke slowly: "Yesterday evening, when I saw you knocking on the door in the village, I knew that you are by no means ordinary people. ”...,

Saying that, the unkempt woman suddenly stood up, took out a broken broom from under the bed, walked to the pane, and swept the dust on the pane, the sunlight will come in, shining on her, Chi Tang looked sideways, and felt that this woman was delicate and well-behaved, and she was more and more sure that she was not an ordinary woman.

Xue Yang knew that her actions were actually adjusting her thinking, which was a precursor to wanting to narrate, so she didn't say much, waiting for her next step.

"You are not like the ignorant villagers in this village, nor are you like the perverted owner with ulterior motives, they have asked me the same question countless times, but I can't say it, otherwise they will be burned alive on the spot as a fear of the ghosts and gods; If it weren't for my mother-in-law's pity for my loneliness and taking me in, I think I would have either frozen to death in the mountains, or I would have been dragged away by tigers and wolves and made food for them, and because of this, I could not leave here, and the best way to stay here and protect myself is to make myself a mad woman, and not let those men take advantage of me. This year, I was dependent on my mother-in-law. ”

The unkempt woman enjoyed the warmth of the sun from the pane for a moment, then put down her broom, sat back on the thatched bed, and leaned against the old woman like a girl clinging to her mother. The old woman stretched out her thin right hand and touched the unkempt woman's messy hair lovingly, but with a few small movements, it can be seen that the old woman and the unkempt woman really have a deep family affection.

"But it's hard for my mother-in-law, my mother-in-law is old, I can't get off the ground, so I smeared my appearance, and only relied on the village to check the dung for food, some of the gangsters in the village bullied me, it was the mother-in-law who came to protect me, and my mother-in-law never disliked me because of my unknown origin, until these days, I heard that there was an evil in the house of the owner of the perverted village, and the whole village remembered me again, a suspicious and unlucky person, you are the god man that the perverted owner said, and he also instructed me to drive me away, or do you want a fire to burn me to ashes?"

The unkempt woman's words were not long, but Chi Tang had already heard a lot of information, first of all, how could this woman appear in this village, in fact, this woman was very clear, but it must be the reason for the unbelief of ordinary people, and it may even involve ghosts and gods, so she insisted on refusing to say, in many customs in Shu, for this kind of so-called unlucky person who involves ghosts and gods, it is often used to burn to drive away the trouble, so this woman has said several times about burning her; Again, she said her own experience this year, unkempt is just a means of protection for herself, not really crazy, and this rickety old woman's kindness is the reason why she can stay in the village, but this year is difficult and difficult, a few words can be seen; It is precisely because she can see that Chi Tang and Xue Yang are not ordinary people, at least not the kind of ignorant people or people with ulterior motives as she said, so she can talk about the same problem now.

Of course, you have nothing to do with the evil that has appeared in the past few days, and the one who brought the evil is actually someone else, but this person has been generously gifted by the owner of the village and is regarded as a god by the owner. Chi Tang and Xue Yang both remembered Feng Yingxiu, and couldn't help but sigh, when people meet, they are judged like mud, the initiator is treated as a guest, but innocent people are regarded as the source of harm. ...,

Chi Tang nodded and said, "We know very well that you have nothing to do with the kind of evil that appears in this village. ”

The unkempt woman bowed again: "Thank you, please clarify this matter to the whole village on your behalf, I don't want my mother-in-law to be scolded by the villagers because of me." ”

"I don't know what is the girl's last name?"

“...... My surname is Bai. The unkempt woman hesitated for a moment, then finally replied.

Chi Tang smiled: "White girl, you know that the main reason why we are here is to hear how you came here out of thin air. ”

The unkempt woman was silent for a long time, as if she was lost in thought.

Xue Yang suddenly opened his hand, and a faint green qi drifted towards the unkempt woman like dust and mist, but this green qi could only be seen by people with spiritual power, so the woman and the old woman were unconscious.

The green qi was wrapped in a circle around the unkempt woman, and suddenly the air flowed, and the green qi seemed to be gently blown away by a breeze.

This is what kind of secret technique of the Qian family, Chi Tang saw it in his eyes, although his Xuanling divine power was above Xue Yang, but when it came to the Qian's various magical magic techniques, he still knew very little because the entry time was too short. So Chi Tang didn't know what Xue Yang was doing.

Qingqi retracted back to Xue Yang's body, Xue Yang's eyes were blazing, and he looked directly at the unkempt woman: "You don't have to feel embarrassed, I know that you came here because of a creature that you have never encountered before, that kind of creature, which is what we have always called --- demons." ”

The unkempt woman's body was shocked, and her eyes looked at Xue Yang with horror: "...... I've never told anyone, but where did you come from...... Where do you know?"

Xue Yang smiled, the effect of the green qi just now was a kind of test, if what appeared in the other party's mind at that time was a strange thing about demons and ghosts, and the body had its own induction, and this induction caused a change in the aura of the human body, it would dissipate the green qi of the test. Now, Xue Yang has affirmed that this unkempt woman's experience is indeed related to demons.

In fact, this technique to measure the green qi and the demon's perception of the mortal breath is a path, the so-called people who have experienced the demon's things are like a magnet, and the breath on the body will attract more demons to come, because ordinary people know about the demons, the change of this aura on the body.

"As I said before, our brothers and sisters have also experienced all kinds of strange and grotesque things, and we have seen and heard a lot, and the girl doesn't need to think it's too sensational to say it, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Besides, this ...... You also said that we are not ordinary people, so what else is there to scruple about? Perhaps, we can also get rid of this --- demon that has been bothering you for a long time. Xue Yang deliberately said the last word "demon" more heavily.

The unkempt woman took a long breath, looked at Xue Yang, and then at Chi Tang, both of them looked very calm, even when the word demon was mentioned in their mouths, they were still calm. Maybe, they can really get rid of that kind of thing......

So, when she finally began to recount that past, it was natural that the thoughts of the two listening demon slayers were drawn to the picture of the past.

It was more than a year ago, and the cool breeze of autumn brought a kind of refreshing pleasure, and the bright red maple leaves in the manor seemed to be the most beautiful decoration of gorgeous autumn colors.

With a light step, she took refreshments and walked towards the matriarch of the inner chamber.

The lord is about to return, and the whole house is preparing for the welcoming ceremony, and the lord must be carefully grooming and welcoming the return of the lord with the most beautiful appearance.

The housemother should be the most beautiful woman in the world, she always thinks so, but one day, a sister with the best relationship, she pointed to her appearance in the mirror and grinned, Juan'er, you are getting more and more beautiful, you are about to catch up with the princess.

How could it be? She blushed as she stroked the delicate skin of her cheeks. ...,

She is the master's mother's most personal maid, but not like those weak servants, she has also learned some swordsmanship with a few of her sisters who are good, but practicing the sword will make the slender hand grow thick calluses, the master mother later stopped, she understood the meaning of the master mother, the master mother wants her to become a peerless beauty who is shy of the moon, perfect without a trace of flaws, so that it is possible to be favored by the lord and become his concubine. The lord's power is all over the world, and the master's mother is seeking a career for herself.

In this way, she turned all kinds of thoughts, passing through the pavilions and pavilions, through the bright red maple garden, and through the winding paths surrounded by Lang Bao.

When passing by an empty pavilion, she suddenly felt that it was dark in front of her, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw an incomparably beautiful woman, wearing the same clothes as herself, holding the tea she had just held in her hand, as if she thought it was very interesting, the beautiful woman looked at the dress on her body, and smiled sweetly.

Why did this beautiful woman feel so familiar? She looked at it carefully, and finally realized that this was not the face that she reflected in the bronze mirror?

She wanted to cry out, but found that she could not move at all, lying at the feet of the beautiful woman, and could only open her eyes helplessly, and suddenly she seemed to see the blue light on the body of the beautiful woman.

"It's finished?" a man's voice sounded from an angle she couldn't see.

The glamorous woman put away her smile and nodded coldly.

"Okay, start your plan, give this woman to me, and I'll kill her, so that there won't be any trouble. The man's voice was filled with excitement.

The glamorous woman looked at her with disdain: "Scaleless, are you going to bring this woman back to lustful pleasure, do you know what I do?"

The man's tone was obvious: "I was for your own good, this woman will not be able to live, since you don't believe me, then you will kill her on the spot, I swallow her body into my belly, and there will be no trace." ”

A trace of horror welled up in her heart, faintly feeling that they did not look like people, and they were unable to move, but there was a look of fear in their eyes.

The glamorous woman tilted her head and looked at her on the ground, and she could see the crystal blue light in the pupils of the glamorous woman.

They must not be human.

"Kill her!" the man urged.

The beautiful woman looked at the man with anger on her face.

"What do you do, it's not your turn to be an eel like you. I wanted her life, but if you say that, I won't kill her!"

The glamorous woman sneered and looked her in the eyes: "Remember, he is your savior." ”

There was a crystal blue in front of her, and she felt that she was flying, and she faintly heard the man's angry voice:

"You ...... you"
