"At that time, you were the daughter of a rich family. Since you were young, you were well-clothed and pampered. It was impossible for you to have any interaction with your senior brother. But in that year, your family suffered an accident, and a fire destroyed your family business. It also burned your parents to death. You escaped by chance, but your face was completely disfigured in the fire, with sores all over your body, and your throat was hoarse. In the end, you could only live on the streets, begging for food.
Senior brother just saw you like that and said the first sentence. "
Shang Lingxue couldn't help asking when she heard this: "What did he say?!"
The ghost king shook his head: "I don't know, this is a matter between you, what I said was only what I heard from my senior brother later, and what I saw and heard myself."
"Then you go ahead." Shang Lingxue seemed quite disappointed, considering that Wang Xu didn't remember anything about that life, perhaps that "first sentence" would become an eternal mystery.
The ghost king's narration continued: "Since you met, brother stopped being a beggar, he found a place to live, found a decent job, lived like an ordinary person, and took you into his home.
I don't know what happened between you, and I don't know why he likes a dumb woman with a disfigured appearance. A year later, when I came to visit my brother, he had already married you, and told me that he would no longer return to the teacher's school, but that he would be an ordinary person and take care of you for the rest of his life.
I was very surprised at the time, but I didn't know what to tell my brother. But I respect his choice of life, so I went back to Guigu by myself and told Master about it. The master was not surprised when he learned about it, and said that an opportunity was approaching, and then he could not retreat and began to practice ghost valley Taoism.
Before Master retreated, he told me that the world will undergo great changes in the near future, and I have a special status, and I cannot completely cut off my ties with the world, and I will have to deal with it in a catastrophe, so let me go down the mountain and return to Zhao, and go to the disaster of my family and country.
Although I am not as good as Master, I do know some general trends in the world. Of course I know that the so-called great change is the rise of Qin, but back then, I never imagined that Ying Zheng could destroy the six kingdoms in such a short period of time, calm the world, and call it First Emperor.
Many years later, I realized that there was another person behind Ying Zheng, and that was Le Cheng. That person who has only been on the mountain for a year, but makes Master feel afraid..."
Shang Lingxue held her cheeks, looking very bored: "Why do you turn into talking about you? Where are you and me?"
The ghost king's expression became more and more gloomy: "In the thirteenth year of Qin Wangzheng, Huan Jue attacked Pingyang of Zhao State, killed Zhao general Hu Zhe, beheaded 100,000 people, and Zhao was at the end of his life. , the real power is limited, and there is no power to return to heaven. In desperation, I thought that I could ask my senior brother to help me. With his talent, I would be able to turn things around. So I traveled day and night to the country of Yan and found my senior brother. He is still hidden in the market with you, Just a little bit different...
That was the second time I saw you, and you turned into a beautiful woman, just like now, I can even say that your appearance is flawless. It's hard to imagine that you are that ugly and dumb patient two years ago.
And... I actually felt that you have spiritual consciousness.
Soon I understood everything, you are not human at all, but the reincarnation of a 'Mei'. Demons and sprites are spirit monsters who are incarnations of mountain gods and water monsters. You should be regarded as an outlier among them, but you actually chose to abandon all your original cultivation, put yourself in the womb of a woman, and reincarnate as a human.
The fire many years later is undoubtedly the karmic retribution caused by your actions, which is why, only you can escape from the fire, but in the end you can only suffer from hunger, cold and illness in the world. "
Shang Lingxue's complexion became unsightly. Of course, this is also reasonable. Being called a goblin can still be complacent. That's not a person, but a goblin...
The ghost king didn't care about this, he just continued to say: "But obviously, your nature as a charm will not change. Maybe you thought you were a human being before, but when senior brother and you face each other day and night, you appear Yu instinctively began to absorb the power of his soul.
During those days, you got something that countless people dreamed of but couldn't get—the power of domination. "
"What did you say..." Shang Lingxue's expression at this moment was already full of murderous intent.
"Hmph... are you angry...should you be angry?" Ghost King's mournful tone remained unchanged, and it was obvious that he was not afraid at all: "I should be the one who should be angry. You will understand more and more after listening to it. My hatred for you is not for myself, but because of everything you have done to senior brother... "
Shang Lingxue suppressed her anger: "Okay, tell me, I want to hear what else you can do with this story!"
The ghost king continued: "You have obtained the power of domination, and under the careful care of the senior brother, you have gradually restored your previous appearance, and you can speak. I can accept all of these, because I understand that the senior brother must have known everything about you from the very beginning. , He is just willing to give everything for you. If senior brother feels happy living like this, I will not interfere with him.
So, I left, and I gave up the idea of asking my brother to come out to help me. In this way, several years passed, and in the nineteenth year of Qin Wangzheng, Wang Jian broke Handan and captured Zhao Wangqian. Zhao Gongzi Jia led hundreds of people from his clan to flee to Dai (ancient place name) and proclaimed himself king. Zhao Guo has existed in name only so far.
My mother died early, and my father refused to leave Handan when the city was broken, so he died for the country. After that day, my ties with the world were over, and I also met my fate. Although this world is big, there is no place for me anymore, so I thought, it's time to go back to Ghost Valley.
Before going back, I decided to meet my brother one more time to see how he was doing. After all, we are born in troubled times, we cannot help ourselves, and the country of Yan is not a safe place. If possible, I want my senior brother to go back to Ghost Valley with me to avoid the wars and disputes outside. "
When he said this, he suddenly stared closely at Shang Lingxue's eyes: "But that day, when I went to my brother's home, I saw him looking haggard, sitting by the couch, and you, already suffering from an incurable disease, are dying soon. "
The ghost king's voice suddenly became angry. He is not an irritable person, but he couldn't control himself when he said this: "Do you know what I heard? I heard it with my own ears. You actually want senior brother... to accompany you I will die with you!"
Shang Lingxue seemed to be frozen, and many fragments flashed in front of her eyes, mind, and heart at this moment.
She seemed to see Wang Xu, right in front of her eyes, smiling, with a gentle expression, never seen him like this before, and finally, the picture turned into a wisp of dust and disappeared with the wind.
"No! Impossible! I wouldn't do that..."
The ghost king doesn't think so: "Hmph... that's just the beginning. What happened later made me more and more sure... You are definitely the most selfish devil in the world. You always take blindly, don't give anything, and don't care about it. For thousands of years, your nature is still the same."
"I don't want to listen to it anymore." She had already increased her spiritual power, and she was obviously not afraid of fighting the ghost king. The amazing spiritual pressure made the entire Huangtian City tremble.
"But I still want to continue." The ghost king completely ignored the beauty's feelings, and remained calm: "You have been punished by heaven and karma. You evildoer who has confused my senior brother for many years.
The senior brother noticed my killing intent and found me outside the house. What I didn't expect was that he came out and said to me, let me go, let me go back to inherit the mantle of the master, and he... "
The ghost king clenched his fists, and after a while, he let out a breath and calmed down his emotions: "On my way back to Ghost Valley, brother's spiritual consciousness disappeared from this world forever, I can't understand, why, such a shock? A genius in the world, he has received so much blessing from the heavens, and he has such high expectations from his master. He is so tolerant, kind, and talented, but because of you, he gave up his life...or, in other words, was destroyed by you For a lifetime!"
