Xu Jiao lay calm in the coffin board.
The red-clothed Zheng Zhiyu stood by the river, the rows of red candles at his feet burned to the end, almost on the verge of being extinguished, the wax tears flowed slowly, and big red flowers bloomed on the soil, with candles The fire flickered to the woman's feet.
The woman's overly pale, bloodless face was staring at the river calmly, as if she was looking for the trace of the water ghost. After a while, she squatted down, her red sleeves fell down, and fell straight into the water. in the river.
In places that were invisible to the naked eye, Bloody quickly submerged into the river with a gloomy ghost, and quickly went to find the target's trace according to her intention.
Zheng Zhiyu looked down at the water, and after a while, slowly turned back to look in the direction where the lid of the coffin had been lifted, and said:
"This hard board is still very comfortable to lie on? Why don't you come out?"
Xu Jiao's autistic state was broken, she raised her hand to support the edge of the wooden coffin, sat up while looking at the starry sky, and said suddenly, "You know what they're going to do, right?"
There was a little smile in Zheng Zhiyu's eyes. Although her expression seemed a little gloomy at night, she looked at Xu Jiao's figure looking up at the sky, and after a long time, she slowly said:
"It's not a big deal."
"I'll fix it, don't worry."
She didn't want Xu Jiao to know what kind of family she had.
Although the confrontation between Xu Jiao and the couple was not at a disadvantage when she returned to the village before, and she didn't show any sadness after the act, Zheng Zhiyu knew that this person was very good at hiding his heart, and he didn't I want her to see the darkness.
Xu Jiao looked back at her, and after a while she answered lightly, "I can't always rely on you, don't worry, I've seen people more disgusting than them, it's nothing."
Zheng Zhiyu hesitated for a second before speaking.
At the end of the words, she seemed to want to ask something else, but suddenly there was a sound of water splashing on the water. Zheng Zhiyu immediately turned around, and the red blood was stripped from her sleeve by an invisible force. The place where the movement came from turned into blood droplets with extremely heavy suffocation and flew away.
Xu Jiao didn't have the unfortunate feeling of sitting in the coffin at all. Seeing Zheng Zhiyu's actions, she thought about it. This water ghost had saved her to some extent. It's okay to reject this unreasonable ghost, but there's no need to let people down. To the end of the soul disintegrating—
"Why don't you send him to reincarnate?"
She thought about it for a while and felt that this was the most reasonable way to avoid retaliation and to fight the opponent to the end.
From the white shadow that faintly floated on the water just now, she could guess that this water ghost was definitely not as good as Zheng Zhiyu, and facing it, she probably only deserved to be beaten as a younger brother.
Zheng Zhiyu listened to her suggestion and felt amused: "You asked me to be a ghost and send a kid to reincarnate?"
Xu Jiao pondered for two seconds: "It's not you, didn't you say there is a master? That person should have some standard extra equipment on his body in order to fit in properly. Let's wait... let's go."
Zheng Zhiyu watched her say the word "shun" seriously, and the faint smile in her eyes was even more serious. She tied the water ghost trying to slip into the river with blood lines, put it in her sleeve, and then moved towards him. Xu Jiao left and said casually:
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xu Jiao won't let
Kill, then don't kill.
only.
Zheng Zhiyu looked at Xu Jiao's appearance and reminded him, "But don't expect too much from that fake. I can smell the yin and suffocation on his body, which is not something a monk can have."
Xu Jiao stepped over the side of the tall coffin board, went out from the inside, and landed on the ground while asking, "En?"
Zheng Zhiyu narrowed his eyes.
As if remembering something.
After a few seconds, she said: "That guy is not simple, a living person, the Yin Qi on his body is heavier than a dead person, either he is full of evil forces, or he is..."
Xu Jiao: "?"
Zheng Zhiyu paused for a while, and then continued with an unpleasant expression: "Either he spends all the year with someone who is deeply involved in Taoism, or maybe... more than one."
Xu Jiao raised her brows: "Wow."
It means that this master is at least a small boss level person
She originally wanted to go back to the Xu family to settle the account, but now that she heard Zheng Zhiyu say this, she stopped abruptly and pondered the whole story on the spot.
"You said he knew my identity before I was born, he must have figured this out and went to the Xu family, but in addition to the money, he also took away the ghostly qi left by the ghost king on me— "
"Now accepting the invitation of these two old guys again, in the name of helping them, although there is also money, but there is obviously a bigger purpose behind."
"Looking back, when I was first born, he knew that rural people were superstitious and afraid of ghosts, but he must have figured out a way for them to keep me, and he knew that they would be afraid of me and reject me, so he gave them a little favor, Let them both remember that I can bring them fortune, but when they are about to get rich, the fortune disappears."
"He has to hold onto the Xu family, because there is a greater use."
"He wants me to lead out the ghost king, and if I am in a wealthy family that treats me well, I will not be full of resentment, I will be happy, and even if the ghost king comes out, it will not change much. ... But if I grew up in such a family, I would definitely be full of resentment, and once the ghost king is born, he should hold grievances for me, such a resentful ghost, he wants more, right?"
There are some subtle logical flaws in this, Xu Jiao has not been able to smooth it out for the time being, and is not sure whether the repeated fortune is related to the other party's behavior, but the other guesses are very close.
Zheng Zhiyu also has her own ideas, but now she doesn't speak, but walks to Xu Jiao's side and asks:
"Do you want the ghost king to come out?"
Xu Jiao raised her head to look at her, the corner of her lips raised an insignificant arc, and then fell quickly. After a while, she said lightly, "According to the current development of the story, I actually think the ghost king is very similar to you."
Although she hadn't seen Zheng Zhiyu's full strength, and she didn't know how terrifying the opponent was, Xu Jiao felt that way.
It's fiction after all.
There will be many accidents and accidents in life, because the laws of operation of the world and the laws of nature are more complex and secretive, but the world of novels is still constructed by human beings after all. thing.
Xu Jiao thinks with herself as the protagonist from the first point of view, all the ghosts around are inferior to Zheng
Zhi Yu is so strong, combined with the fact that the other party appears strangely and has an extraordinary connection with himself, although Zheng Zhiyu has many memories that he can't remember, but...
This guess seems plausible.
Moreover, the entanglement between the ghost king and his predecessor, and the encounter with her and Zheng Zhiyu in two consecutive worlds, there is an indescribable feeling in it, as if it should be like this in the dark.
It's just that the ghost king who has no memory can meet this old monk who has been dormant for more than 20 years
Hearing Xu Jiao's words, Zheng Zhiyu raised her hand and touched her head, her dark eyes filled with ambiguity—
In fact, when I met Xu Jiao's soul just now.
The broken images in her mind that could not be connected to each other suddenly changed, and there were more scenes that had never been seen before.
But when I recalled it, I felt that those were all stories she had experienced.
She has seen many, many lives of herself.
For the first time, her life was very miserable. Most of her beautiful memories were like a little warmth in the cold, very precious and fleeting. It was Xu Jiao who appeared in front of her and brought her into that fairyland-like place. She taught her many things, she called her "Senior Sister Xu" and respected her like her own god.
The second time, her parents left her prematurely. She was disliked by all her relatives like an inferior product and kicked her around like a ball. In the end, her uncle and aunt's family reluctantly took her in, but they used her as a nanny. , it was Xu Jiao who taught her to be self-reliant, but unfortunately she had many thoughts that she should not have.
The third time, she didn't realize that the person she wanted most was by her side, and when she wanted to turn back, the other person had already gone a long way...
For the fourth time, they reunited in the Miraculous Continent.
And then is now.
Every time, Xu Jiao would come into her life, as if there was some kind of arrangement in the dark, Zheng Zhiyu always felt like she had forgotten some key link, but more important than that...
Who is Xu Jiao
Who are you
Why do they seem to have known each other many, many times
…
Realizing that Zheng Zhiyu didn't speak, Xu Jiao looked at her again, and at this time she found that Zheng Zhiyu seemed to be distracted, although most of the time the eyes of the woman in red were dark and bottomless. Jiao is to know the other party's current state for no reason.
Thinking that Zheng Zhiyu talked about a lot of things that she couldn't remember, Xu Jiao stared at her current demeanor, and suddenly asked again:
"Did you remember something?"
Zheng Zhiyu came back to his senses and did not rush to answer the question, but instead said to Xu Jiao, "I want to try the so-called master's strength first."
Although she is a ghost, Zheng Zhiyu never seems to do anything harmful to others. Although she is not to the point where Lu Jian is not flat to help her, she hates these people who put their disgusting thoughts on Xu Jiao.
She doesn't mind getting rid of this master and erasing a scourge for the world.
I want to know that a living person is surrounded by such evil forces, and it seems that there is no major problem. There must be ghosts, and the plot is not small.
Guys who have always wanted to wake up ghost kings in the world are all for the sake of causing disasters, and once the ghost king appears in the world, those capable guys in the underworld and the world will definitely not stand by and watch, after all, ghost kings are not.
What a good match.
Although Zheng Zhiyu doesn't have any memory related to the ghost king now, she has seen Xu Jiao's wisdom and knows that she has internal logic when speculating about something. Since Xu Jiao said that she is likely to be, then she will do it for the time being. Be mentally prepared for this.
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhiyu said: "Actually, I don't have any impression of the ghost king, but whether I am—"
"I won't let anyone take you away."
Xu Jiao pursed her lips after hearing these possessive words, and replied, "No one can take me away if I don't agree."
She is an independent entity, not an object.
Hearing this kind of words in the past, Zheng Zhiyu would understand Xu Jiao's meaning as "she doesn't belong to anyone", but now, for some reason, she suddenly made a funny voice:
"Then I want to take you away as Mrs. Yazhai, do you agree?"
Xu Jiao glanced at the direction of the village in front of her, and swept her eyes to the muddy road under her feet. She avoided the places with many puddles and puddles. She stepped on the dry road, weighed her toes, and changed the subject casually:
"It's coming soon."
"Would you like to guess, how would the master respond when he found out that the ghost king did not appear, and the water ghost was cleaned up by you again?"
Zheng Zhiyu floated up, as if he had no weight. Following Xu Jiao's direction, he lay down on her shoulders and said carelessly, "Why should I guess what a bald donkey is thinking?"
"This is full of flowers, and the orphan and widow have a late-night tryst. What a good atmosphere, don't you understand the style."
Xu Jiao corrected it: "It's a lonely ghost and a widow."
Others will only be scared to death when they think of this picture, where can they think of any style
Zheng Zhiyu blew into her ears, her original intention was to provoke her, but Xu Jiao's ears turned red, perhaps because the stimulation left in her soul had not faded, so even if she blew by the river for a while The cold wind, and then touching this ambiguous atmosphere, those charming, which were finally suppressed, were easily provoked.
It's just that this appearance fell into Zheng Zhiyu's eyes, like...
Xu Jiao had already eaten the marrow and knew the taste.
She looked interesting, and deliberately followed Xu Jiao's reaction and continued: "What happened to the ghost? Didn't the ghost also make you happy? Can the happiness I gave you just now be done by humans?"
Xu Jiao: "…"
She was a little caught off guard by this tone of color, and for a while she almost thought that the two were not going to fight against evil forces, but flirting on the way to the hotel.
Her expression was tense, and she didn't know that her instinctive reaction had fallen into the eyes of the other party. She only asked indifferently, "Then can you order some things in the world?"
Zheng Zhiyu smiled and misinterpreted her meaning again: "Ah, you mean you prefer the traditional way? But I think your reaction to this kind of soul blending is more obvious? Did I understand it wrong, or... ? "
Xu Jiao suddenly stopped.
Zheng Zhiyu originally thought that her words were too explicit to make her angry, and was about to coax her, but suddenly noticed a detail that she hadn't noticed before.
The road is also too quiet.
As we all know, in mountain villages, there are always many small insects and animals that are not seen in cities, especially at night when many predators are hunting, walking in the mountains, listening to
It is not unusual to see the movements of these animals.
Even many people who walk at night will panic when they hear the sound of an owl.
but.
Xu Jiao and Zheng Zhiyu didn't hear anything on the way back.
What about those little animals
Not to mention predators, there should be small bugs like crickets and cicadas, right
Why does the grass around me never move
Xu Jiao just instinctively felt that it was inappropriate, but Zheng Zhiyu had already sensed something. When she left her body, two blood-red droplets fell from her fingertips and penetrated into the soil.
Xu Jiao quietly looked at the earthen house at the end of the road. The main house inside still had a faint light on. It looked no different from other people's houses, but after careful identification, she found out—
In the sight range, there is no shadow of walking in all the bright lights, as if everyone slept with the lights on.
Quietly.
…
at the same time.
The bald master is touching the Buddha beads on his neck. The beads are very long, and the beads are thicker than human fingers. If you look closely, you will find that every bead on the bead is carved with a hideous face. I don't know if it is a human or a beast, but in short, the demeanor is different.
The Xu family and his wife also believe in a little bit on weekdays. They know that there is such a saying in the Buddha that there is a vajra in anger, so they never pay attention to what exactly is carved on the bead string of this master.
If Zheng Zhiyu was here, he should be able to recognize it at a glance, what kind of Angry-eyed King Kong is on it
It is clearly the appearance of evil spirits.
And this bead string has no mother beads, and there is no pagoda, which is full of weirdness.
Now, a bead on his neck suddenly glowed a little bit, and he looked outside, his eyes seemed to pass through the wall, and he saw everything that was happening outside—
With his face full of flesh, his eyes narrowed, he heard him say to himself:
"That water ghost is actually weaker than I thought."
"What's the matter? The ghost king didn't show up... Is there something else around her? Is it a ghost in red? It's okay... Although it's not very special, I happened to give a general to my apprentice a few days ago and use her to make up for it. It's also good."
After thinking about it for a while, he said to the two couples who shivered when they heard him speak: "You two don't have to move around here, until I catch the unfilial daughter back for you."
"Get rid of the dirty things on her body that taught her bad, and seal the pair of yin and yang eyes for her, and she will be your good daughter again."
Hearing that they had to face Xu Jiao, Xu Dashu was a little dissatisfied, but they didn't want to pay more money to let the master take advantage, so they had to look around. In the end, Xu Dashu picked a thicker root from the corner to carry the bucket. The pole, thinking that if Xu Jiao's unfilial daughter doesn't have the help of gods and ghosts, she probably won't be able to be with him again, so she nodded and said respectfully:
"That's hard work, Master."
"Master is really a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering." Mother Xu looked at Xu Dashu's attitude and answered next to him.
The master nodded and took another step. He stepped into a black fog, passed through the wall directly in front of the two of them, and disappeared.
Xu Dashu quickly stabilized his body with the pole in his hand, so that the suspension was supported.
Mother Xu "Ouch"
She screamed in horror, and after a while, afraid of being heard by the master and misunderstood, she quickly covered her mouth and looked at her husband, looking like she didn't dare to say what she wanted to say.
Xu Dashu sighed a little on his rather vicissitudes of life, as if he was brainwashing himself, and as if he was affirming something:
"We raised her so big, and we have never been short of her food and drink. Now this dead girl dares to mix with those dirty things and pretend to scare us. It's time to teach her a lesson."
Mother Xu also nodded, as if she forgot the tragic situation that she fell into a dog crawling in front of Xu Jiao not long ago, and affirmed: "Yes, I will say that she beats less, I knew this day, what did you say She should be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."
…
When the two couples were encouraging each other—
outside the house.
Zheng Zhiyu pulled out the little devil who was in a daze, and when the other party just showed a sinister smile with his tongue hanging to his chest, he directly stretched out his hand to hold the little devil's Tianling cover, and said expressionlessly:
"Help Zhou to abuse, I don't know how to repent, damn it."
After hearing an extremely harsh scream, the ghost turned into a mist and disappeared.
The road in front of her changed suddenly, and Xu Jiao realized that she didn't know when she was walking up the mountain outside the village, and there was a cliff with no guardrail not far ahead, and now she was standing on the driveway. If there was a car driving on this mountain road However, she could be hit and killed unknowingly.
The people and things in the formation are really sinister.
This time, she did not make a sound to stop Zheng Zhiyu, but listened to the whistling of the wind in her ear, and quietly stared at Zheng Zhiyu from the side. Sure enough, the other party's more sensitive senses than hers quickly probed. to inappropriate.
A dazzling black mist floats—
There was laughter inside:
"I haven't seen this kind of pure red clothes for a long time. Good, good, good. Before I tame the ghost king, it is also very good to temporarily use a ghost like you as a Buddhist pagoda."
Before his figure could be seen, Zheng Zhiyu's red clothes suddenly became much brighter, and the red seemed to drip blood. Xu Jiao thought it was her illusion at first, until she found that there were thick Very terrifying blood slowly flowed out.
At the same time, Zheng Zhiyu's black eyes also revealed a bit of red light.
She said indifferently: "As a mortal, I actually want to control the power that does not belong to you, forcibly seal more than a hundred evil ghosts, and let me tell you what the backlash looks like."
As soon as he finished speaking, before the man showed his body, Zheng Zhiyu turned into a red light and rushed in the direction of the black fog.
The person in the black fog laughed loudly: "I have seen countless ghosts in the past few decades. I praise you for your high level of cultivation, but unfortunately..."
Even if Xu Jiao has yin and yang eyes, she can't see the situation very well. She can only see occasional red blood splashing out, and a torn mist. The figures of both of them are hidden in it. All fast.
But Xu Jiao was not idle either.
She stood on the safe side of the road, with her right hand behind her back, and quickly wrote the golden rune she had learned before. The golden light behind him was insignificant at first, but then flickered like a firefly.
The one who was seriously injured by Zheng Zhiyu and was separated from the fat man's Buddha bead only had his head left.
The ghost was thrown aside. At first, he wanted to escape from the master's control, but he smelled a very fragrant smell halfway, and the ghost touched it, trying to swallow Xu Jiao while Zheng Zhiyu was not paying attention.
However, just as the grimace approached, there was a golden light on its face—
Immediately it was a terrifying scream.
The two sides in the battle looked at Xu Jiao at the same time. At this sight, the master's face changed suddenly: "How did you get..."
The words didn't come out.
The dozens of golden characters that Xu Jiao had just collected flew towards him at the same time!
The master was suddenly thrown over the face by countless immobilizing and exorcising spells, and no one knew how to hide, so he had to release more than a dozen evil spirits from his beads in a row. Fortunately, there was one. The starving ghost with deep Taoism swallowed a dozen talismans in one mouthful, but he also ended up with a broken stomach and a broken soul.
Xu Jiao just stood there like nothing, the master was already angry, but how could Zheng Zhiyu let him touch Xu Jiao
I saw the red sleeves raised, and the blood mist all over the sky rushed over again!
The master showed a stern smile and said to the two of them: "Okay, okay, this is your own death...!"
Zheng Zhiyu's expression was more gloomy than his: "It's you who committed suicide."
This time, the master assigned a green-clothed ghost to deal with Xu Jiao. Zheng Zhiyu's eyes widened a little, and he was incapable of separating, but he saw Xu Jiao spread out his palms, revealing the last two golden charms he had hidden just now.
The ghosts were all close to their faces, and Xu Jiao only moved. Obviously, she had an excellent temperament and endured until the last moment.
The green-clothed ghost couldn't avoid it, and the original grinning expression was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to flee, the golden characters had already caught up. At the same time, Xu Jiao pulled her towards her home like a kite.
As she walked, she quickly drew symbols.
Not only can he stay away from the battlefield and not be affected, but he can also prevent himself from becoming the master's hostage, causing trouble to Zheng Zhiyu.
…
After half an hour—
Sitting behind the tree, Xu Jiao saw the green woman with long hair, covering her face. She stretched out her sharp fingernails and came towards her heart. She gasped slightly, her wrists were already sore, and she could no longer do any more. Draw a sign.
Even if she died, her expression was very calm, but she was somewhat unwilling.
It's a pity to be able to control the ending of the book by myself, but to die at the hands of a kid.
"Don't run away?"
"It's fine if you don't run. I'm tired of chasing after you. You obediently let me eat it, and it will become a part of me from now on. I increase my cultivation and you are also strong. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
The green female ghost said fiercely.
It's not that she can't do it and insist on reasoning, but she really doesn't believe Xu Jiao's showing weakness. After all, this despicable and cunning human girl has thrown away those talismans like Bodi-lei. .
Some of the talismans were drawn in a hurry, and inexplicably turned into burning, evil-proof talismans.
She was burned so many times that she was almost disfigured!
Now she is angry and hateful, and she doesn't dare to be easily fooled.
Xu Jiao hooked her lips slowly, and didn't mind playing with her at the end: "Okay, come here."
The female ghost in green: "..."
To go up or not to go up, this is a
question.
She was still hesitating, but Xu Jiao raised her brows and provocatively said, "What? You are a ghost, and you are afraid of me being an ordinary person?"
The more she said this, the more the green ghost girl suspected that she was hiding a trick.
One person and one ghost kept their distance for a few minutes.
There was only a cool breeze blowing through the forest.
Xu Jiao moved her fingertips, wanting to struggle for a while, but the female ghost suddenly realized something. Seeing her movement, she guessed that she had no more characters, and immediately stretched out her hand towards her heart—
Bloody hands passed through his chest.
next moment.
A scream sounded in the forest, and many birds flew away!
The green-clothed female ghost looked down and found that her ghost core had been crushed. Before she turned her head, she had already turned into a mist and disappeared without a trace.
Xu Jiao sat with her back against the tree trunk, with one knee bent, one hand resting on the top and the other hand hanging by her side, the sweat droplets that had been cooled by the wind fell down her chin, her lips became a little from the excessive physical strength. whitish.
Now, she raised her head to look at Zheng Zhiyu who appeared, saw a much duller red on the other side, and whispered:
"You are hurt."
Zheng Zhiyu shook his head and only said, "Sorry, let him run away."
Xu Jiao sighed, her hair sticking to her face and neck, she didn't bother to do it, she just sat there and replied, "It's fine if you're fine."
Now her posture is lazy, but there is a kind of casual charm in it.
The two didn't speak for a while.
After a long time, Zheng Zhiyu asked her, "I don't have the strength to stand up? Would you like me to hug?"
Xu Jiao unexpectedly replied, "Yes."
Zheng Zhiyu, who was ready to be rejected, was stunned for a moment. Then, she came over and leaned over to hug Xu Jiao. The unpleasant smell of blood still lingered on her body. Xu Jiao narrowed her eyes, but said nothing. , let her move.
Zheng Zhiyu hugged her and walked towards the house. After all, there was still a couple who had their elbows turned outwards.
Holding the warmth in her arms tightly, she teased Xu Jiao with her usual attitude as she walked: "Why are you so cooperative all of a sudden? I don't even dare to think like this in my dreams, it doesn't feel real."
Xu Jiao responded slowly: "Do ghosts also dream?"
Zheng Zhiyu had a whim, and told her the pictures she had seen earlier as her own dreams: "Yes, I dreamed in my dreams, we have known each other many times..."
She came one by one, with a bit of interest in her tone, as if she didn't take it seriously.
But Xu Jiao was hugged by her, and their bodies were close to each other. Any slightest reaction would be noticed immediately, especially when Zheng Zhiyu had just experienced a fierce battle, and her senses were the most sensitive moment!
She stopped talking and looked down at Xu Jiao, her black eyes were still bottomless, but at this moment she revealed a little sharpness that could see through people's hearts.
Xu Jiao heard her ask leisurely:
"Why are you so stiff all of a sudden?"
