Chapter 155: Silver-faced Mother-in-law
People often spend their lives looking for various ways to make themselves better and stronger, in order to consolidate their self-confidence that they are not so strong, and constantly challenge unknown people and things, and even unknown dangers, just to prove themselves to the world, to flaunt themselves as better than others, and unwilling to fail, everyone is like this.
But often the easiest thing to defeat himself is actually himself, although he pretends to be very strong, nothing can be defeated, but that is only because he is hiding the trace of fragility buried in his heart, because even if he is a strong person, his heart is soft, and there is always a place that belongs to vulnerability.
When I unintentionally saw Ruyi appear in front of my eyes, I really couldn't tell whether this was reality or a dream, because Ruyi was obviously in the phantom city thousands of miles away, but why did she suddenly appear here, in this lonely hut in the mountains.
"Come in, what are you doing in a daze?" Ruyi said softly with a smile on her face, looking at Wuxin, who was staring at herself in a daze. As he spoke, he turned and walked into the house, opening the door.
Through the open door, Wuxin saw a table in the open space in the room, with a few small dishes on the table and a pot of old wine, which seemed to have been prepared for a long time, as if he had been waiting for Wuxin to arrive.
Wuxin was really hungry, especially after the struggle and fight just now, and he had shed a lot of blood, and his body was almost empty. So he didn't hesitate any longer, raised his legs and walked towards the house, but he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the rows of flowers and plants planted in the yard on the side, a faint fragrance seemed to be revealed from those flowers and plants, refreshing.
"Why are you here?" asked Wuxin as he slowly sat down at the table and looked at Ruyi who was standing aside, with a hint of doubt on his face.
The smile on Ruyi's face deepened after hearing Wuxin's question, and she glanced at Wuxin with a smile, and said softly: "Are you hungry and fainting?
After listening to Ruyi's words, he frowned unconsciously, and he was confused, what did it mean? Then he asked, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand. ”
Ruyi glanced at him again, sighed and said, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Didn't you ask people to bring me here to wait for you?"
Wuxin listened, his brain was even more confused, he shook his head vigorously, looked at the furnishings in the room, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of place is this? Isn't it Wushan?" He really couldn't understand what was going on, why he woke up and felt that everything had changed.
"What Wushan Wushan, are you really hungry and faint? I don't know what you're talking about, okay, okay, let's eat quickly, let's talk about it when you're full." Ruyi shook his head and said, then picked up the chopsticks and put a chopstick dish in the bowl in front of Wuxin, signaling Wuxin to hurry up and eat.
Wuxin grabbed Ruyi's wrist suddenly, stared at Ruyi's eyes suspiciously, his head was groggy, and he couldn't help asking: "What happened? I am obviously in Wushan, how can I appear here?" He suddenly felt that all this in front of him did not seem to be real, as if it was his own dream again, because all this was too weird, Ruyi should not have been here at all.
Seeing that Wuxin grabbed his wrist, Ruyi struggled to break free, and pouted: "Why do you have so many questions? Why am I lying to you? I don't even believe it?"
"It's not. Wuxin shook his head and said lightly, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and the Ruyi in front of him seemed to suddenly seem to have changed a person, into another kind of gentleness.
"Then why are you still asking so much?" Ruyi said complainingly, with a trace of unhappiness on his face, but he still picked up the pot of old wine in front of him and poured a glass for Wuxin and himself.
Wuxin suddenly raised his head and stared at Ruyi's eyes, with a hint of doubt, and said lightly: "I don't drink, have you forgotten?"
Ruyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled awkwardly, waved his hand and said, "Oh, let's drink a little today, it's okay, just drink a cup, and you won't get drunk with a cup." As he spoke, he picked up his glass and signaled that he had no intention of clinking glasses with himself.
Wuxin's face gradually sank, became cold, stared coldly at Ruyi in front of him, and said lightly: "Why don't you ask why I was injured?"
Ruyi, who was holding a wine glass in one hand, was stunned, the smile on his face was gone, and he looked at Wuxin expressionlessly. That's right, she didn't ask a word about the unintentional injury from beginning to end, as if she hadn't seen it at all, which is not in line with common sense, if it is really wishy-washy, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.
"Who the hell are you?!" Wuxin stared coldly at Ruyi in front of him, lowered his voice and said, his eyes already showed a trace of murderous aura, he was almost sure that the person in front of him who looked exactly like Ruyi was not really Ruyi at all.
Sure enough, I saw that "Ruyi" suddenly stood up, casually threw the wine glass in his hand on the table, raised his head and laughed loudly, laughing so much that he was trembling and laughing a little weird. Then I heard her say: "The old body is really eye-opening today, I didn't expect that there are such young heroes in the rivers and lakes today." ”
When I heard this word, I suddenly knew the true identity of the person in front of me. Suddenly, Wuxin suddenly felt a flower in front of his eyes, and couldn't help but blink quickly, and then saw that the "Ruyi" who was originally standing in front of him had disappeared.
The person standing in front of Wuxin has become an old lady who is over half a hundred years old, with gray hair, a cane in her hand, and a leaning body, but she can't see her face clearly, because she has a mask on her face, a mask made of sterling silver.
"Granny Silverface, are you really still alive?!" Wuxin almost exclaimed, he finally understood that everything just now was an illusion. The Ruyi he saw was actually the strange man who had been extinct in the rivers and lakes for thirty years standing in front of him at this time, the silver-faced mother-in-law.
The old woman struck the ground with the cane in her hand and said loudly: "Presumptuous! Who told you that the old body is dead? If you die, the old body will not die!" The deep voice did not sound like an old man who was over half a hundred years old at all, but his temper was quite big.
"Where is Lei Zhen?!" Wuxin stared at the silver-faced mother-in-law's eyes exposed outside the mask, and asked lightly, ignoring the other party's abuse.
"I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here?" Granny Silverface didn't answer the unintentional question, but asked herself.
Wuxin frowned, and said lightly: "I came to find someone, to find someone who killed someone, that is, the person who asked you to save him, you saved a person who might turn around and kill you at any time." He was trying to figure out from the mouth of the silver-faced mother-in-law where Lei Zhen was now, whether he had been saved.
I saw that the silver-faced mother-in-law raised her head and laughed again after hearing Wuxin's words, laughed for a while, changed her words, and said coldly: "Kill me?" ”
After listening to the words of the silver-faced mother-in-law, Wuxin finally understood that the fog forest, the rain forest, and the Ruyi he saw just now were all illusions, this was the second time he had seen the power of illusions, and the last time was in Fengyue Valley, but compared to the illusion in Fengyue Valley and here, it was a world of difference.
"So you can really bring the dead back to life?" Wuxin sneered and asked lightly, wondering if he was too late and if Lei Zhen had been rescued.
The silver-faced mother-in-law let out a weird laugh, looked at Wuxin and said: "In my eyes, there is no such thing as a dead person or a living person, as long as I am happy, I can turn the living into a dead person, and I can even make the dead into a living person." As he spoke, he looked at the wound on Wuxin's chest, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to heal your wound for you?" accompanied by a piercing sneer, as if he was playing tricks.
Wuxin shook his head and said lightly: "But I'm still alive, and I don't want to die yet." He knew the rules of the silver-faced mother-in-law's rescue, that is, the person being saved must be a dead person, and he didn't want to die yet.
But the silver-faced mother-in-law actually shook her head as if she didn't have a heart, and said slowly: "It's a pity, I'm afraid this is not up to you, although you haven't touched the poisoned wine and food on the table, but you have smelled the poisonous gas of the flowers on the other side, and you are already a person who is not far from death." ”
After listening to the words of the silver-faced mother-in-law, I realized that the faint fragrance in the air turned out to be poisonous gas, and it was really an invisible weapon to kill people. But he may not be able to hurt Wuxin, because he has already been invulnerable. But he was still surprised, although the trace of poisonous gas did not hurt him, but it still caused him to hallucinate.
"Since I'm dying, then tell me, where is Lei Zhen?" said Wuxin lightly, he didn't tell the silver-faced mother-in-law that these poisons couldn't hurt him at all.
The silver-faced mother-in-law shook her head and said slowly, "It's a pity that he is already gone, just before you came here." As he spoke, he leaned over to where he had been sitting unconsciously, not knowing what to do.
"Then it looks like I'm going to have to chase it. Wuxin said lightly, as soon as the words fell, he suddenly stood up, looked at the silver-faced mother-in-law coldly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The silver-faced mother-in-law was startled by Wuxin's sudden action and froze in place, she didn't expect Wuxin to really have nothing at all.
Without waiting for the silver-faced mother-in-law to react, he suddenly rushed out like lightning, and reached out to grab the mask that the silver-faced mother-in-law was wearing on his face, he wanted to see what kind of face this pretending to be a ghost was.
But just when Wuxin was about to rush to the front, the silver-faced mother-in-law who was originally stunned suddenly disappeared, and in an instant, she was already outside the house and stood in the courtyard. The weirdness of the body is simply incredible.
I didn't want to chase it out, but I saw the silver-faced mother-in-law disappear into the moonlight in a flash, and her voice came from outside the empty house: "It seems that God is destined to make you the first person to come in and leave alive, and the old body will no longer be embarrassed by you, and whether you can go out or not depends on your creation." The voices were getting farther and farther away, and it was clear that the people had quickly left the place.
When he unintentionally chased out of the hut, he couldn't find the slightest figure of the silver-faced mother-in-law, and couldn't help frowning, but he didn't pursue, the most important thing now was to find Lei Zhen, who had been rescued by the silver-faced mother-in-law, and kill him before he returned to Red Feather.
So, Wuxin put away the blood knife that had not been put into the sheath and planned to leave. When he walked to the next to the rows of flowers and plants in the courtyard, Wuxin couldn't help but stop and looked at the flowers in the grass that looked a little weird, it turned out that this was the legendary flower that only grows in the underworld. This kind of flower has its own poisonous gas, and people who smell it will inevitably be trapped in hallucinations and unable to extricate themselves, if it weren't for the unintentional physique that is naturally anti-poisonous, maybe it has already been poisoned by the silver-faced mother-in-law.
I didn't think to myself, it would be better to leave this place where there is an evil door everywhere, who knows what unpredictable dangers are hidden here, and if you stay for a while, there will be a little more risk. So, he turned around and returned the way he came, intending to leave this evil place as soon as possible.
However, when Wuxin turned around, he saw a familiar figure again. A figure wrapped in black, holding a long narrow and pitch-black knife in his hand, wearing a mask on his head, and a pair of exposed eyes were staring at Wuxin motionlessly, which was the "shadow" that had been hidden by Wuxin's side, coldly ......
