Chapter 5: Sleeping with the Beast
Yan Shaoqing had a dream.
A warm and beautiful dream.
She dreamed of the flowers and plants she planted, she dreamed of the cats and dogs she raised, and the little turtle named "Gong Xiaoxie". She dreamed of the larks singing in the birdcage, the fish in the lotus pond spitting, and the swing under the locust tree. She dreamed that her kind father was crawling on the ground for her to ride on a big horse, her kind mother was carefully feeding her lotus seed soup, and the green ghost brother was secretly pretending to make her smile with all kinds of grimaces......
She heard the deep and confused flute of the man in green clothes, and a pair of strange and deep eyes. She smelled the aroma of her favorite fried cake, and she felt the water in the kitchen boiling......
The eldest uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle and the loyal brother are all around her in a reunion, and they are using coaxing, calling, kissing, hugging, and all kinds of care and love methods, so that she can get up and eat the reunion dinner in the soft velvet mattress......
The fire in the fireplace was about to be extinguished, and there was only a little ember, a little red......
Gradually, she suddenly noticed that all the amiable relatives around her, men, women, and children, were all at the moment when the flame was extinguished, and two white fangs grew from the corners of their mouths, their eyes were shining with a seeping green light, and their sharp claws with long blood-red nails were smiling, smiling, smiling, and sinister towards her on the mattress, approaching—
Ahh
Yan Shaoqing woke up!
Wake up in shock!
It's a dream.
During these days, she woke up from a nightmare every time, and when she woke up, she was even more shocked, and instantly wanted to escape from reality, and then struggled to crawl back to that nightmare!
Because reality is far more terrifying than the scene in a nightmare.
Where is this?
In seventeen days, she had been taken away and converted into five places, either a grotto, a beast's den, and a tree's nest.
It was a cave, dark, damp, with a terrible wind.
At the entrance of the cave, a pile of fires was about to burn out, and only some faint jumping light remained, and suddenly, a strong mountain wind blew, and the ground of "Hulele" was red for a moment, although the branches were about to burn to charcoal ashes, at that moment, it also bloomed like a fierce red when iron bars were quenched and polished!
This is on the mountain.
An ancient, desolate and lonely mountain.
It should be almost dawn, right?
The sky before dawn is usually exceptionally dark and unusually dark.
Yan Shaoqing fought a cold war.
It's cold.
Yan Shaoqing only felt a chill, a burst of sadness, and even a little desolate.
She tried to escape, but she had no strands on her body, and her hands and feet were still tied tightly to the thick, tough vines, so tight that they almost sank into the flesh.
There is no soft mattress, no delicious rice cakes, no birds, no parents, no beautiful flutes, no moving eyes, and no him.
Everything in dreams does not exist in reality.
The only thing that remained, that could be felt, was the long tear stains on her cheeks that she had left in her dreams, and the slightly moist corners of her eyes.
Dreams, after all, are dreams.
I woke up from a dream.
The world after waking up is innumerable desolation, infinite desolation, and infinite desolation.
Endless cool.
Cold, hungry, lonely peak, maiden.
Yan Shaoqing hadn't eaten hot food for a long, long time, and she hadn't even eaten a drop of water for three days and two nights.
On this barren mountain night, apart from the sound of beasts and wind, there is only fear and flight.
For seventeen days, he hid, fight, wandered, and hid again and again in the mountains...... The only memory given to her, in addition to the hard work of nine deaths, is the hard work of nine deaths in a lifetime.
The only vibrant, the only warm, and the only beautiful thing is to see the wisps of village cooking smoke coming out of the village at the foot of the mountain from a distance, which is the people living and cooking.
Far away, far away out of reach.
The embers of the remnants of the flames in the wind, making a desperate struggle.
It slept beside the remnants, like a beast that had survived from the ancient desolate world, like the sound of a lion and a jackal when they exchanged tails, and snoring like thunder.
It has no name, everyone calls it the beast slave.
Its whole body was rotten, its hair was attached to its skin, and its flesh was covered with flesh, one by one, piece by piece, red, black, and white, rolled and hanging; its facial features were deformed, twisted, and festering, pus and acne alternated, pus and blood juice were sticky, thick, and rotten; in its sleep, its teeth still made a gnawing sound, and a blood-red eye was still wide, like a red demon stone in the dark, very red and very red.
In the past seventeen days, Yan Shaoqing, a weak girl, has followed this beast through it.
She quietly wanted to cry, she wanted to cry without tears, she broke down and helpless, she was desperate.
She wanted to go home.
Family?
What about home?
- I used to have a home that everyone envied, a childhood that everyone longed for, and a person who everyone was jealous of.
My mother's name is Ge Tingting, who is the owner of the previous generation of the "Zombie Gate", one of the "Corpse Demons" of the "Eighteen Demons of the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands" of the "Green Dragon Society", and the righteous daughter of Yan Qingping, who has the achievement of "Immortal Corpse", and the "Corpse Demon" Yan Qingping is also my grandfather.
Not only is it warmly pursued by a large number of heroes in the "Xiaoxiang" martial arts, but also in the "zombie family", there are countless children, masters, talents, and celebrities who willingly worship under her pomegranate skirt.
Mother is not only beautiful, but also good, inside and outside the door, uncles and brothers spoil her, love her, protect her, and love her, just like me a few months ago.
When I was sixteen years old, under the vigorous mediation of Uncle Yan Bofu, the owner of the "Purple Armor Hall", my mother finally married my second brother Yan Bofu, who was the most popular in the "Zombie Gate" at that time, but she was much older.
After his mother and father got married, his father's status and career in the "zombie gate" were even more soaring.
Soon, his grandfather "Corpse Demon" Yan Qingping, in the battle of the "Five Great Swordsmen" to annihilate the "Hengshan Faction", was attacked by Leng Zhenyue, the leader of the "Five Mountains Sword Alliance", Leng Zhenyue, was wounded and hibernated, and returned to the "Yama Tower" to recuperate. With the support of three uncles and elders, his father was quickly promoted to the master of the "Zombie Gate", and because of his terrifying reputation and amazing momentum, he was called the "Corpse King" by his fellow Jianghu and was not named.
Because of the help of his father, the virtuous helper of his mother, the "Zombie Gate" became famous under his care, and the power of the "Corpse King" in the "Xiaoxiang" area continued to expand, and his influence became more and more serious, far exceeding that of his grandfather in the past.
Soon after, I was born, and before I was born, I had two twin brothers, Shao Bo and Shao Zhong. It seems that I heard that it was because I offended some Qinglong boss, and the two brothers died for no reason when they were very young, and my father and mother were very taboo about this matter, and no one dared to mention it much.
Perhaps for this reason, before my father's temperament changed greatly, my father and mother regarded me as a treasure, and the family of three was happy.
When did my father start to change, and when did my nightmare begin?
It is the appearance of a person.
This person's name is Gong Xie, "Tsing Yi" Gong Xie.
At that time, two excellent characters appeared in "Zombie Gate" almost at the same time, both of them were excellent, both of them were young, and both of them had an infinite bright future.
One is called "Flying Corpse Under the Moon" Yan Qing Ghost.
One is called "Tsing Yi" Gong Xie.
Yan Qing Ghost is the son of the third uncle "Qing Zhuang" Yan Bolu, and his father's most proud apprentice, twelve years older than me, "Zombie Gate" has been a rare rising star in recent years, according to the family lineage, I should call her eleventh brother.
But Yan Qinggui is very fond of his mother and is very close.
He once praised his mother to his friend Cai Yu, the "Beijing": "My second aunt's pair of colors is rare in the world, even if you Cai Xiangfu Eight Baili Ji stood with her, they all seemed to come out of the ground and were covered in mud." ”
My mother also appreciates and likes to speak of green ghosts.
Once I heard my mother say to my grandfather: "Only an enterprising young man like the green ghost can magnify the lintel of our 'zombie gate'." ”
The other person is "Tsing Yi" Gong Xie.
He seemed to have fallen from the sky, and suddenly appeared in the "Zombie Gate", and as soon as he appeared, he was entrusted by his father with an important task to serve as the master of the "Red Evil Hall", which is the torture hall, and is in charge of the life and death of 3,000 people.
The first thing "Tsing Yi" Gong Xie did after taking office, and the first case he handled strictly with his own hands was to execute Yan Wuxu, the only son of the fourth uncle "Bai Zhuang" Yan Boshou, "whose corpse sank into the sea without a trace", on the charge that this person raped his own third aunt and Cai Hua, the little wife of the third uncle "Green Zombie" Yan Bolu.
What is surprising and strange is that for Gong Xie, the "Tsing Yi" who has the hatred of killing his son, the fourth uncle "Bai Zhuang" Yan Boss, who has always been narrow-minded, not only did not have any mustard in his heart, but also praised him and applauded.
Later, when I was a little older, I figured out that it was not that the fourth uncle had a lot of money, but because "Tsing Yi" Gong Xie had a tough master and a strong backer behind him.
He is the first minister of the "Jingshi" and the person of Cai Jing, the boss of the "Power Gang"!
At that time, I didn't know that my father was secretly carrying out an ulterior plot and plan with Cai Jing's father and son, and "Tsing Yi" Gong Xie was the representative of Cai Jing's specific execution, assistance, and supervision of this top-secret plan sent by Cai Jing to the "Zombie Gate".
I didn't like this guy who looked like he had a bad smile, he was very flattering to me, and he knew that I liked to raise flowers and plants, cats and dogs, so he gave me a little turtle, a very small one.
Even the little turtle he gave looked like a "bad turtle" with a bad heart.
I like to give my flowers and pets all kinds of names that I like, the trees I plant, the flowers I plant, the dogs, kittens, ponies, rabbits, monkeys, donkeys, and pangolins I raise.
I have a kitten called "Luo Zhengxi" who likes to bask in the sun, a small fish called "Yunyun" who is keen to spit bubbles, a cute little rabbit called "Bu Yanqing", I have a little donkey with a bad head, legs and feet called "Chenyuan", I have a lonely little pangolin called "Leng Beicheng", I have a willful stubborn horse called "Oba", I also have a famous skin monkey called "Saddle Compensation into the Mountain", and "Oba" horse will be stumbling and bullying the dead skin and face "Saddle Compensation into the Mountain" when there is nothing to do.
The little turtle that Gong Xie gave me in "Tsing Yi", I call it "Gong Xiaoxi".
Gong Xie often plays the flute outside the "Yama Tower" for me and "Gong Xiaoxi", his flute sound is like his pair of strange pupils in the night, full of temptation and **, making people listen to the red face, bare ears, move the heart, leave the soul, and then gradually sink.
How nice would it be if my life went on like that?
