Chapter 25: The Truth

"Curse?" the shining Buddha bead in the old lady's hand turned quickly unconsciously. "Do you think Hua Ying is cursed because of her family's jealousy?"

Silent Qiu frowned: "My cousin has no scars, and there is no Gu poison." Before getting married, I was inexplicably asleep, and when I think about it, it seems that only the power of the curse can cause it?" she paused, "It is not impossible for the curse to revolt." ”

Old Madam Qiu's face sank.

"Hua Ying's fiancé is a disciple of the samurai family. Although it is only a side branch, Wu Rugui was born with a talent and a solid family background. At a young age, Jin Dan is already in sight. It is highly valued by the samurai lineage. ”

Silent Qiu smiled: "Brother-in-law is born with good looks. ”

Old Man Qiu glanced at her: "But it's not as good as the kid you brought home." ”

Silent Autumn blushed: "Grandmother~~~"

Old Madam Qiu smiled: "Okay, I probably know what's going on." Go back to your room and rest. ”

Lonely Autumn was slightly stunned: Could it be that my cousin's family affair is really something boring?

After her granddaughter left, Mrs. Qiu's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Qiu Huaying's husband, who was in charge of his parents when he was young, once had a fiancée Xu Jiujiao who was a good match. Jiujiao is also a rare cultivator in a small family. Unexpectedly, when she was fifteen years old, she had an accident when she was building the foundation, and she became a wasted person!

Two years later, Wu Rugui and Hua Ying got married.

And Hua Ying and Jiujiao are close friends from childhood to adulthood!

Afterwards, the old lady also inquired about the reason for Jiujiao's failure to build the foundation, and it seemed that there was a problem with the pill she was taking at that time. But when the pill was in the stomach, the Xu family couldn't find out, and in the end, the matter was just over.

The rotating Buddha beads in Old Madam Qiu's hand suddenly stopped: "What about Minjun, let her come and see me!"

Song Minjun is the wife of Qiu Junfeng, the son of the enemy family. She entered the house with red eyes, and before she could salute, she let Mrs. Qiu scold: "You mother and daughter have done a good thing!"

Song Minjun's legs were weak: "Mother?!"

When she returned to Qiu Huaying's courtyard, she saw Zhaohui talking to Yuwei, the girl who was serving Huaying.

Yuwei's face was haggard: "Are you asking about Miss Xu? She had been married to Gongzi Wu before." When Miss Xu is gone, our eldest lady will be sad!"

Zhaohui followed the temptation: "Why didn't Miss Xu have it?"

Yuwei said regretfully: "Miss Xu used the wrong medicine to build the foundation, and Zhihai dried up and became a waste. She couldn't accept it, so she ...... Slit his wrists and committed suicide. ”

Zhaohui was silent for a moment: "Then your young lady must be very sad." ”

"But isn't it? When my young lady was mourning Miss Xu, she cried unconscious. Miss Xu also cursed in front of Miss Xu's spirit and swore that if she knew who had harmed her, she would definitely make that life worse than death!"

Lin Xiaoqiu and Gu Zhaohui had palpitations in an instant!

Qiu Huaying's current appearance, isn't life worse than death?

Yuwei seemed to remember something: "When Miss finished saying this, the candle in front of Miss Xu's spirit went out a few times. Everyone said that Miss touched Miss Xu's spirit in the sky!"

Gu Zhaohui's face sank like water.

Yuwei seemed to be stuck in memories: "When the two young ladies were young, they always loved to play under the big tree in the yard. Swinging, bowing, and testing spiritual power together. I didn't expect that, alas, creation makes people!"

Zhaohui asked again: "I see that the flower tree is a little scorched, what's going on?"

Yuwei thought for a while and said, "Oh! It was probably the summer of the year when the young lady and the martial artist got married, and the tree was split by thunder." ”

Silent Autumn Thoughts: Could it be that the flowers and trees have been robbed?

Yuwei's face showed sadness: "There was an accident that night, and the tree was fine, but it killed one of Miss's maids, Yanhui." ”

Zhaohui's thick eyebrows raised slightly: "Yan Hui?"

"Hmm. She is a rough maid bought back by the young lady after she got married. But Yan Hui is clever and smart, and everything is very close to Miss's mind, so Miss promoted her to a second-class girl. ”

Zhaohui was silent for a moment, flicked his sleeves violently, and when he turned around, he saw Silent Qiu: "Senior sister." ”

Silent Qiu couldn't help but sneer: "Senior brother." ”

"Since Senior Sister has heard it, she should also know that there is something strange in this matter, right?"

Silent Autumn nodded. It's just that she is not sure now, whether Xu Jiujiao's death has anything to do with her cousin?

Zhaohui took out Zhang Lei Ling Talisman, walked under the flower tree with a frosty face, looked up at the hidden flower branches, and said coldly: "Tree spirits can't leave places other than the root system. How did you know that Miss Qiu swore an oath at Miss Xu's funeral?"

The flowers and leaves are swaying, and sadness is pervasive.

Zhaohui smiled: "Naturally, someone told you. Who is it?"

Silent Autumn was surprised: "Zhaohui, what do you suspect?"

Zhaohui said in a condensed voice: "Mr. Tree Spirit, is Xu Jiujiao really dead?"

The trunk shook violently in an instant!

After a while, the tree spirit transformed into a human form again, and his elegant eyebrows were full of satisfaction: "You are very smart. ”

Zhaohui shook his head: "Xu Jiujiao was unwilling to be killed, I think she already had suspicions at that time, so she secretly investigated after her death." I don't know what clues she found. But two years later, Miss Qiu married her former fiancé. I think at that point, she probably understood everything. ”

The dryad closed its eyes, and the breath of sadness was overwhelming.

Zhaohui continued: "Of course she wants revenge. But at that time, she no longer had any strength to compete with Miss Qiu. So, she came up with a solution!"

The dryad asked softly, "What's the solution?"

Zhaohui said in a deep voice: "In the year that Miss Qiu and Wu Ru agreed to get married, she sneaked into the Qiu family with a thunder guide talisman. ”

The dryad looked back at the scorched black on the trunk and smiled bitterly, "You observed so clearly. ”

"There was thunder and lightning that night. She used the residual spiritual power in her body to activate the Thunder Channeling Charm and successfully attracted the Heavenly Thunder. I guess her original plan was to pit you against the Thunder. If your spiritual power is detonated, it will be enough to raze this small building to the ground, and no one will survive. ”

Silent Qiu was puzzled: "However, there hasn't been any spiritual power explosion!"

"That's for Mr. Dryad. Zhaohui asked in a deep voice, "What happened that night?"

It was obviously daylight, but the sky was dark, and the small courtyard was gradually shrouded in darkness.

When Zhaohui and Silent Autumn were surprised, heavy rain poured down, thunder rolled in the sky, and blue-purple lightning was hideous.

The rain fell on him, but he did not wet his clothes. Zhaohui suddenly: Illusion!

In the illusion, a girl dressed as a maid walked out of the small building and came to the big tree with an umbrella.

"You've recognized me for a long time, haven't you?" the girl gently rubbed the trunk of the tree, and the smile on her face was bleak and strange. "Do you really want to know the purpose of my disguise and infiltrating the enemy's family?"

The branches swayed slightly, and the tree spirit appeared to take shape.

“...... They say you're dead. ”

"If you don't die, how can you reassure the person who harmed me?" the girl muttered to herself, "Who would have thought that my good sister, who grew up together, would go to great lengths to harm me in order to snatch my fiancé?"

The dryad was apologetic, just looking at her guiltily.

The thunder and lightning are getting closer and closer, and the wind and rain are rushing.

"Luan. The girl raised her face, and her eyes flashed with apology, "I'm sorry!"

The trunk of the flower tree is impressively pasted with a yellow paper Zhu painting of the lightning charm!

Ah Luan didn't seem surprised, he just looked up at the sky: "I see." ”

Rumbling lightning struck a tree branch, instantly igniting a blue-black smoke.

Luan clenched his arms, in pain.

"Luan. The girl smiled tearfully, "I won't let you die in vain." ”

Another flash of lightning streaked through the trees, and green smoke rose from the trees.

Luan fell to the ground, rolling in pain.

"Luan?!" The girl was a little frightened. "Does it really hurt?"

Ah Luan smiled at her reluctantly: "It's okay, I can bear it." ”

"Luan—" The girl's tears mixed with the rain. She remembered that when she was a child, she and Hua Ying climbed trees and picked flowers together, dined together under his shade, and took a nap in his whispering slow songs.

"The sky is above, I promise Jiujiao to curse with blood and pay for my life! Let the oath made by the person who harmed me be fulfilled in front of my spirit!" The girl got up violently and tore off the thunder charm - "Jiujiao, don't!"

In Luan's exclamation, lightning struck the lightning charm!

The girl fell under the flower tree, and there was no sound.

The movement of the garden finally attracted the servants of the house.

Ah Luan hid in the tree and watched the shouts of everyone: "Thunder and death, this tree is on fire, come and put out the fire!"

The thunder and rain disappeared, and Zhaohui and Silent Autumn woke up like a dream.

Ah Luan sighed: "Jiujiao is just too soft-hearted. If she had been ruthless, he and Qiu Huaying would have already been gone.

Silent Autumn's face turned pale.

Zhaohui sighed: "So Miss Qiu is indeed cursed and devoured. ”

"Jiujiao sacrificed her life to the sky before she died. Luan's voice gradually lowered, "Hua Ying can't resist it." ”

Silent Qiu's lips pursed: "Is there really no way?"

Luan shook his head and disappeared in front of the two.

Zhaohui said lightly: "Senior sister, people are doing it, and the sky is watching." Miss Qiu is to blame. ”

Lonely Autumn was in turmoil. However, Hua Ying is her relative!

In the middle of the night, Zhaohui, who was asleep, faintly heard the sound of clanging, like cutting and digging, and lasted for nearly a pillar of incense. Then, his window was illuminated by lightning.

When he got up the next morning, Zhaohui was told that Qiu Huaying was cured!

In disbelief, he followed his senior sister to visit the small courtyard, and then entered the garden, and was momentarily frozen: the beautiful flowers and trees in the garden had disappeared! The ground was a freshly turned dirt.

As if she hadn't seen it, Silent Autumn went straight into the small building.

Zhaohui was still waiting outside, he dragged his sore legs to the position of the big tree, and the severed roots in the mud seemed to be still glowing with crimson liquid!

Why?

He saw Yuwei passing by, and hurriedly called her: "Miss Yuwei—"

Yuwei's face was full of joy: "Gu Gongzi." Without waiting for him to ask, he replied, "Gu Gongzi wants to ask about this tree, right? Last night, the old lady and the head of the family came over and said that it was the tree spirit in this tree that caused the young lady." So I cut it down overnight. ”

Zhaohui swallowed back the nonsense in his mouth.

He remembered the sound of felling and lightning and thunder last night, and dizzily remembered that when he was looking through the canon with Su Su in the Thousand Caves, he had seen a way to solve the curse of death—to replace the cursed person with another profound human altar.

So, Ah Luan, who can't leave the enemy's family, has become Miss Qiu's substitute ghost?!

Zhaohui felt chills all over his body.
