Xu Jiao didn't care how outrageous Zheng Zhiyu's request was.
She flipped the screen of her phone and let Zheng Zhiyu see the photo above. Zheng Zhiyu didn't know the purpose of showing this ugly bald head to herself, she frowned slightly, and Xu Jiao was a little annoyed. say:
"What do you show me this unpleasant person at such a good time?"
Xu Jiao's throat moved.
Turning the photo back from the zoomed-in point, she pushed her phone in the direction of Zheng Zhiyu, and asked her to look at the chat record above. Zheng Zhiyu stretched out a finger and dialed the phone to the side, He didn't want to look at it, but with such a face, Yu Guang still respected Xu Jiao's intention very honestly, and read the contents above at a glance.
only one eye-
She put away all those charming thoughts, took the phone away from Xu Jiao's hand, carefully read all the records just now, and then gave birth to an unspeakable sense of absurdity.
She originally thought that the monk's layout for Xu Jiao was in the mountain village many years ago, and then she achieved her goal by controlling Xu Jiao's stupid parents.
The lesson given to the bald master last time was severe enough.
But.
It turned out that the other party has more things to do than she imagined, and the idea of getting the ghost king is stronger than her.
Right…
A person who has been patiently deployed for more than 20 years and has a delicate mind, how could he be the type that just takes one step and waits to close the network? In order to make sure nothing goes wrong, this guy will do a lot of planning and preparation. This is the correct way for a scheming person to do things.
It was she who thought it was too simple.
Now the enemy is hidden in the dark, she and Xu Jiao are in the light, Xu Jiao has been kept in the dark for the past 20 years, and what has been revealed now may only be the tip of the iceberg of the countless faces of the fake master. What plan will the other party use? What information they have, they know very little.
The situation is very passive.
After Zheng Zhiyu realized the sword of Damox with the five elements on Xu Jiao's head, her last ambiguous thoughts were also dispelled, and she let Xu Jiao swept the things she bought in a bad taste to the corner of the wall, and she was sitting in Xu Jiao's place. At the bedside, although this posture is too strange, it is fortunate that both of them are used to it.
"I don't think this formation can be completed in a day or two. Last time, the old guy was underprepared and misjudged my strength, so I accidentally suppressed some of my cultivation bases. If I encounter him again in his formation now... "The consequences could be disastrous.
She hid those bad words without saying anything, but Xu Jiao already knew what she meant.
However, with insufficient information and ignorance of the ghost king, how could they break the master's game
Xu Jiao got off the top bunk, left the room lightly, and went outside to wash her face with cold water. In the midsummer season, there are probably pipes exposed to sunlight, so the water just released was still warm. Fortunately, open the faucet for a while, and the water inside will become refreshing again.
Zheng Zhiyu followed her back, saw her wash her face a few times, bowed her back slightly, and asked aloud after a while:
"You went out to investigate this matter, how did the investigation go?"
"About the ghost king..."
Xu Jiao didn't speak too loudly, because the washbasin was next to the bathroom, and the space was semi-sealed, so there was an echo. If someone came from the corridor, it was easy to hear the movement.
Zheng Zhiyu saw that she was very worried, thinking about Xu Jiao's inexplicable low-grade fever for many days before, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, and she was about to tell all her recent income:
"Before I went to ask those wild ghosts in the mountains, all the way to the direction of Mount Tai. After all, there is Dongyue Yinsi underneath, which is where the underworld is located. Most of the ghosts who can wander around there without being caught are a little capable."
"Sure enough, the ghosts in the mountains and the wilds on the road before were all ignorant. Along the way, I met a new-born Specter. The grievances were so heavy that they almost implicated me... But I finally asked about the ghost king."
"I heard that the ghost king has a special soul, not human, not demon, not spirit, but he was instructed by a master before his death, and the first half of his life was reluctantly smooth, but later he was implicated in the matter of Xuanmen, died unexpectedly, and later became very resentful. Ghost."
"The underworld didn't accept her, because an official sent her to the underworld to send her soul across the Naihe Bridge. After her resentment dissipated, she was detained in the underworld. Everything went well at first, but I didn't know that she was in the underworld. What happened to lead the evil spirits to come up from the eighteenth layer of hell, make a mess of the underworld, and go to the human world."
"Some people say that she wants to find a lover to cross the Naihe Bridge with her after she wakes up, and some people say that she wants to take revenge because she has an enemy in the world... Combined with the bald-headed statement of the ghost king's wife, I guess she wants to to find the reincarnation of her lover."
"And she was able to break out so persistently, maybe because of what mark she left on your body, you always have a low fever now, dreaming about the past, and it is estimated that you are going to leave the soul... I guess, it is because She wants to find you."
Speaking of the latter, Zheng Zhiyu's words contained some differences.
Listening carefully, the words still had a sour taste.
Xu Jiao shook her head: "No."
She thought of the dream last night. In the dream, she was a human being, but she had a fox's tail. Combined with what "Zheng Zhiyu" said in the dream, thinking about it now, her original guess was wrong.
The ghost king is not Zheng Zhiyu.
is her.
It was Xu Jiao's past life.
How did she change from such a legendary existence to this ordinary human being? And why did Zheng Zhiyu, who was originally on the path of cultivating immortals and should be heading towards a bright future, become this very confusing red-clothed ghost
There were still drops of water hanging on Xu Jiao's face. Transparent water droplets hung on her eyelashes and fell into her eyes. They were spilled by her inadvertent blinking movements, and they fell down like tears. Lose.
Her appearance was a little dusty. I don't know if it was because she had been with Zheng Zhiyu for a long time recently, or because she was not in good health and always had a low-grade fever. Her face was a little pale. A delusional sense of frailty.
Let Zheng Zhiyu think of when she was in bed.
After changing his usual stern expression, he was forced to hurry, so he panted lowly, and said those begging words in a soft, hoarse voice, as if he had lost all reason.
After a while, Zheng Zhiyu realized what Xu Jiao had just said: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Xu Jiao opened her mouth to tell her dream, but the words didn't reach her lips. She thought about her recent state and the monk's layout, but she couldn't determine whether the dream was true or not, and whether it was affected by any external factors.
Even intuition is hard to believe.
In the end, Xu Jiao pursed her lips, looked at Zheng Zhiyu and said, "No... I was just thinking, since we can't figure out the matter of this ghost king, why don't we take the initiative?"
"That person set up such a wicked formation in our school, and what he did was immoral, whether it was for my own safety or the safety of the school's teachers and students, except for him, it was a good thing for everyone."
"It's not too late to deal with this abnormal situation if we solve him. If we can solve all the problems at one time, we will take advantage. If we solve him, I will still have such a low-grade fever. I will think of a solution when the time comes."
"If we do it now, we won't lose anything, it's not good to sit still."
Zheng Zhiyu thought about it for a while, but felt that what Xu Jiao said was very reasonable, so she said to her: "I see that you learned fu very quickly last time, you should have talent in this area, I was in several schools on the way back. I picked a few more powerful talismans from the shop selling the underworld items and brought them back, you can take a look and get ready."
Xu Jiao nodded, shook the water droplets in her hand, and went with her to the window at the end of the corridor, so that the voice of the conversation would spread out and would not revolve in the corridor.
Following the movement of the two of them, Zheng Zhiyu took out the talismans from his sleeves. The talisman paper was made of ordinary yellow paper with bright red cinnabar written on it. It looked ordinary, but followed Zheng Zhiyu's movements. , the yellow paper made a strange sizzling sound in the part that was in contact with her.
At the same time, layers of black gas appeared on Zheng Zhiyu's fingertips when he touched the paper.
It was as if he was quietly using Yin Qi to fight against the power on the paper.
This is because Zheng Zhiyu didn't approach with malice.
She quickly handed it over to Xu Jiao. When Xu Jiao read the characters on it clearly, she found that the color of the cinnabar was much darker, and the edges of the yellow paper also showed signs of being burned. What a pain to bring back.
like...
It's like a person who is holding four or five big durians and walking home with empty hands.
This requires a kind of perseverance.
Xu Jiao felt a little soft in her heart. Although she couldn't see anything on her face, she knew that she had softened a bit towards the guy in front of her. She took the talisman paper and asked Zheng Zhiyu aloud:
"You are a ghost, why are you so professional about these ghost-collecting things?"
Zheng Zhiyu made a cold joke: "Maybe it's because when you first became a ghost, you always contacted each other and got beaten a lot, and your ability to appreciate the quality of sticks has also made a qualitative leap?"
Xu Jiao: "…"
Zheng Zhiyu saw that she was speechless, raised his hand and touched her head, and said casually, "I'm kidding you, I already told you that I don't remember."
Xu Jiao looked down at the talismans again.
she thinks.
Zheng Zhiyu knew that maybe it was because he was very good at these things when he was alive...
The reason why I learn fast is because my original body in the previous life was taught by Zheng Zhiyu.
Thinking about it this way, that dream is still somewhat believable.
Zheng Zhiyu couldn't help but be concerned when she saw her thinking: "What's wrong? Did you think of something again?"
Xu Jiao shook her head. Before there was conclusive evidence, she did not dare to mislead her guess by saying it at will—
But she was silent.
There was no chance to speak again.
that night.
Xu Jiao's soul was pulled out of her body.
Zheng Zhiyu was originally by her side, and it stands to reason that he should have reacted immediately, but the invisible force was moving so fast that it couldn't even keep up with her speed!
…
the other side.
Under the moonlight, a bright bald head moved, and the man who was meditating opened his eyes, touched the red beads on his neck, sneered, and said to the apprentice who came over:
"After waiting for so long, it's time to collect the second net."
