【Xianze】It's not easy to be a fairy

The soil on the sixth floor of the Ghost Realm is soft, like a field ridge that has just been refurbished, gently retaining the footprints of Fan Xian and Li Chengze.The ground was covered with fine red particles, which settled down in thin layers.These are all coagulated ghost blood, which won't disperse after the rain. Over time, the sixth layer of the ghost world will be dyed blood red.When Fan Xian lifted his foot, the ghost blood floated slightly, clinging to his long clothes.

He and Li Chengze were not the only ones on the road. Apart from a few ghosts, Fan Xian also saw the skeletons of several slow-moving giant beasts in different shapes, such as pictograms, snakes, and lions.They buried half of their bodies in the coagulated ghost blood, and looked at themselves with their upper body.Their eyes had long since decayed, but the sense of attention coming from those empty eye sockets still made Fan Xian extremely nervous.

Li Chengze waved to one of the skeletons, and the giant closest to them roared, stretched out its whole body and quickly ran to Li Chengze's side.

It was an animal skeleton in the shape of an ape, with slender forearms and peak height.Its body was covered with scars, its white bones were severely eroded, and its five finger bones were already incomplete. When approaching Li Chengze, Fan Xian could still smell the strong smell of blood from the bones.

It stretched out its index finger to Li Chengze, and Li Chengze touched the skeletal finger symbolically. It immediately rolled excitedly on the ground, and accidentally spilled the ghost blood gathered on the ground all over Fan Xian and Li Chengze, only to realize that its body was too big. Huge, just buried his head in the ground, and stopped looking at people like an ostrich.

Fan Xian shook off the ghost blood from his body, and seeing Li Chengze's whole body was sprinkled with red dots, he hurried up to help him clean it up.

Li Chengze lowered his eyes obediently and told him to tidy up his clothes and hair, and said, "These are all seniors from the ghost world. After staying here for a long time, they are more boring than the group of heavenly soldiers and generals you guarded at the crack of the ground. Seeing that you are fresh, I came to see you."

Fan Xian looked at these ancient behemoths eroded by time. These behemoths stared at them with empty eye sockets. The first glance made one feel chills down the spine, but the second one felt very cute in winter.

After walking for a while, Fan Xian heard the sound of gurgling water.This world is red to the eye, the sky is flowing blood red, the ground is congealed bright red, even if it is a continuous river, it is still bloody, rolling endlessly.

A simple low pavilion was erected on the shore, Li Chengze stepped forward and knocked on the pillars of the pavilion, and a gorgeously dressed female ghost appeared on the bench.She is Dan Zhu Huakou, with a flowing purple dress and a graceful figure, but her face and cheeks are sunken, her eyes protrude terrifyingly, it seems that she has been tortured for a long time, and she is lingering on her breath.

Seeing Li Chengze, the female ghost pursed her lips in embarrassment, covered her small mouth with her bony hands delicately, and said in a coquettish voice, "Second Young Master is back."

Li Chengze put his hands back into his sleeves: "Xu Niang, prepare the boat."

The female ghost named Xu Niang raised her eyes and looked at Fan Xian again, and said with a smile, "Why did the second son bring someone back today? Look at this appearance, it makes people greedy."

The smile on Li Chengze's mouth widened a bit: "I asked you to prepare the boat, didn't you hear clearly?"

When Xu Niang saw that his face was livid and unhappy, she knew that she was talking too much, so she struck Wei Wei with both hands, and a small brown-red boat appeared on the bank of the Blood River immediately.

At the bow of the boat, a human-shaped skeleton propped up a long oar and looked into the distance. The skull made a 360-degree turn, and only then did Li Chengze and Xu Niang's exaggerated jawbones shake up and down.His words were seriously leaking, but he still persisted in opening his mouth to talk to Li Chengze: "Second Young Master, is he still going to cross the moon bridge? It's been a long time since you came to take a boat. How are you doing? Where are you going to be happy? Give me the old man Let's talk."

He chattered endlessly, but due to his head movements being too large, several dentures on his mouth were choked off, and his articulation was even more ridiculous.

Fan Xian couldn't help a chuckle, and the old skeleton who was supporting him noticed Fan Xian, and yelled, "It's strange, is this the Second Young Master's man? Is it for toothbrush or bed warming? Snatch it from him." I still want to have a sip of wine without even notifying me of the wedding. Wine is a good thing. I haven’t drank it for many years. I still miss it..."

There seemed to be no big difference between what Fan Xian wanted to grab and what he wanted, but the old man was really hospitable, so he patiently listened to a few more words.He likes to hear such nonsense, but Li Chengze doesn't like it.

Sure enough, after hearing this nonsense, Li Chengze immediately pulled Fan Xian onto the boat.He walked towards the boatman, removed the other man's jawbone without saying a word, and the old skull, who was full of nonsense, suddenly became quiet.

Li Chengze tossed his mandible in his hand, and said, "The person next to me is an old friend of mine. Mr. Xu, don't have any wrong thoughts, let's be honest, and I'll take your mouth off when we get to Duyue Bridge." Return it to you."

Fan Xian was amused and asked him, "Old customer?"

Regardless of the old man's silent cursing, Li Chengze put the boatman's mandible at the stern, found a seat on the boat, wiped it with his sleeve carelessly, and let Fan Xian sit down with him.

"Not really, nodding acquaintances." Li Chengze glanced at the old skull, put his face close to Fan Xian's ear and whispered, "He and the female ghost in the pavilion just now are father and daughter, and their relationship is quite messy. That’s why they were taken to the sixth floor.”

Fan Xian's eyes widened: "What is a relationship disorder? Is it the kind of relationship I think?"

Li Chengze slapped his thigh hard: "Why so loud? I don't know if it's true or not, I just heard it."

Fan Xian looked at him a few times, and said in disbelief: "Then, Your Highness and I still have a half-brother relationship. Could it be that His Highness is also because of..."

Li Chengze was so angry that he pinched him: "No, it's not because of this. Shut up, no one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak."

Fan Xian kept his mouth shut.

The speed of the boat was not fast, and the waterway was winding. Fortunately, the old skull was an experienced rower, and the boat was running smoothly all the way. They thought that they were admiring the scenic spots on the shore in a bend of the stream, how could they have thought of such a red rain and blood river.

After paddling for a while, the fog on the river surged up.The floating water mist was also light red, the smell of blood in the air was getting thicker and thicker, and the surrounding red sky gradually became cloudy, and it was difficult to distinguish the intersection of the ground and the water surface for a while, making one's hair stand on end.

Fan Xian turned to look at Li Chengze beside him, and saw him propping his chin with one hand, staring blankly at the front, his fair side face covered by long bangs, although Fan Xian couldn't see his expression clearly, he knew him I am very preoccupied at the moment.

The seven souls have taken back the five souls, and if they succeed in subduing the evil soul, there will be only the last love soul left.Fan Xian felt that this might be the last chance to ask him, so he said a little restrainedly, "Your Highness, where is your love soul?"

Li Chengze answered him with a hoarse voice: "Are you so curious?"

"……Um."

About his seven souls, Li Chengze also had a half-knowledge, such as why he left his body, for example, why he became a body-killing ghost.Fortunately, now that he has slowly sorted out the clues, he guessed the story process based on the ending of the story, and what he has to do now is to confirm his guess with the "old friend" villain.

"No hurry, I'll find out soon." Li Chengze held his hand reassuringly, "Master Fan, why should you care about this, anyway..."

Before Li Chengze finished speaking, a voice from a distance interrupted him abruptly.

"Anyway, Master Xiao Fan is going to die here today, it doesn't matter if he knows it or not."

The timbre of this voice was similar to Li Chengze's, but the tone was even more vicious.His words were full of disdain and full of harm.Li Chengze reacted immediately, kicked off the mast with both feet and galloped away.

Now the old skull who is honestly rowing the boat will quit.But he couldn't speak, and the boat didn't care about rowing. He slapped the hull hard to make a sound to attract the attention of the remaining passengers.There was blood mist all over the place right now, Fan Xian's vision was obstructed, and he couldn't find the place to go to Duyue Bridge, so he had to take the mandible of the old man to fix his bone.

As soon as the boatman got the chance, he chattered endlessly again: "I won't go forward, the Crossing Moon Bridge is too scary, my lord, please do it yourself."

"..."

The old man was chattering again, but fortunately he was very talkative and quickly resolved Fan Xian's problems: "Duyue Bridge was originally lively. Unfortunately, there came a ghost who could eat ghosts, and none of the ghosts who went in could come out. He has a big appetite and has swallowed many ghosts. After a long time, Duyue Bridge has become the old base of the ghosts."

Fan Xian immediately understood that a ghost who can eat ghosts is a ghost.

"Only the Second Young Master went there and was able to escape unscathed. I guess that thing has something to do with the Second Young Master, maybe it's an old acquaintance."

The old man probably didn't know that Li Chengze's seven souls were gone before, let alone that he had seen Li Chengze's evil soul. Fan Xian bowed and thanked the old man, and flew all the way on the quietly flowing river of blood.

The blood mist gradually dispersed, and at the end, a huge covered bridge spanned the river.

The body of the covered bridge is trapezoidal, the bottom is red, and the body of the bridge is full of round old trees. On the top are the roof tiles of ordinary Jiangnan people. The black tiles cover more than half of the body of the bridge. The bridge is [-] meters long, which is very magnificent. , but Fan Xian still caught sight of the two in the center of the bridge.

It's because the evil spirit's clothes are too obvious.He is not like Li Chengze's spooky attire, but more like a human being. He is dressed in a green suit that reaches to his ankles. His forearms are decorated with gold patterns on his chest. His long hair is all tied in a golden crown. He holds a skull in his hand. It was full of light, and it exuded a strong hostility.

He resembled Fan Xian's appearance when he first met Li Chengze. Apart from his pale complexion, his breath-holding expression was more vivid than that of Li Chengze who was opposite him.

Li Chengze was entangled and wrestling with the evil soul, both of them held their breath in their hearts, and they made a decisive move to kill each other, wishing to grab each other's throat with one claw, twist and shatter each other so that the other would die.

Fan Xian's reaction to the evil spirit's green clothes was obvious. He had no time to take into account the clean and beautiful fighting postures of the two ghosts. He jumped up and stepped on the bridge mast to stand still. Seeing that the two sides refused to admit defeat, he was at a loss for words explain.

When the evil soul saw Fan Xian, he withdrew his hands and touched the skull, with a half-smile on his face: "Li Chengze, you're promising, and you know you're looking for help."

Li Chengze untied the immortal lock on his waist and held it in his hand, planning to make a quick decision: "Who said he was a hired helper? What does the matter between us have to do with him?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Why is the seven spirits completely gone for a good killing ghost? Master Xiao Fan still doesn't know, do you know how his seven spirits disappeared? In fact, Cheng Ze's memory is also a little fuzzy, I talked to him several times before, but he was angry with me and refused to listen. How about I talk to Mr. Fan this time? Ignore him, Li Chengze."

Angrily, Li Chengze threw the Immortal Binding Lock, and the golden rope followed the Evil Soul along with his thoughts and chased after him for a while, but it was a pity that the Evil Soul was too fast. He was so close to Fan Xian, he was at a loss at full speed.

Li Chengze turned into a ghost and came angrily, but the evil spirit jumped nimbly. Seeing Li Chengze accidentally fell into Fan Xian's arms, he smiled and said, "Look, you said it had nothing to do with him. Who would believe it?"

As expected, Li Chengze was so excited by him that he rushed to him like lightning, with his ghost claws flashing, he clasped the evil soul's neck with five fingers and pressed him to the ground, trying to crush him.

Seeing this, Fan Xian was in a bad mood, and shouted: "He is your Seven Souls, don't go too far, Your Highness, be merciful!"

After hearing this, Li Chengze gave his hands a pause, and laughed loudly when he saw this: "Look, Master Xiao Fan loves me so much."

Evil still held the whitened skull in his hands. Seeing Li Chengze's ghostly face, he seemed to have boundless power, so he was hard to deal with.

Two red ghost lines landed on the inner corners of Li Chengze's eyes, like two tears of blood tearing open his face, as if he was heartbroken, the damned soul understood the half-truth and half-false.The surface is just a phantom of Li Chengze, this ghost has not yet gathered all seven souls, so part of the emotions in his heart must be missing.

Now that the five souls are back, he can already experience most of the emotions in the world.The evil soul has dealt with him here for several years. Li Chengze, who has lost his seven souls, is an elm-headed man who only wants to be reincarnated as a man. When he talks about the past, he often has a manic face, and he is not shy before he can coax a few words , very boring.

Evil said happily: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for you to go out to retrieve these five souls. Now that you're back, it must be much more fun than the silly look of the string doll before. Return the memory to you."

This time Li Chengze became cruel and used force with his hands.Gritting his teeth and enduring the increasingly heavy force on his neck, the evil soul smashed the skull in his hand to the ground, but saw a puff of black smoke spread out and drifted into Li Chengze's brain.The red-eyed Slayer Ghost widened his eyes, then lost his strength and fell to the side.

Naturally, Fan Xian wouldn't sit idly by, but before he could take a step, the evil spirit flashed behind him, and said with a smile, "It's already here, why don't you show it to Mr. Fan, aren't you curious about his love spirit?" Where is it? Let me tell you."

Without waiting for Fan Xian's reaction, the evil spirit grabbed Fan Xian's forehead and lightly slapped him on the Yintang. Fan Xian felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and the scene in front of him was full of every detail of his relationship with Li Chengze—the first time he met Li Chengze in the pavilion during his lifetime. , reunited in Kyoto after death; farewell after drinking poison in the previous life, and married three times now...

Fragmented and dilapidated scenes formed a dazzling revolving door. Fan Xian quietly observed all the pictures one by one, and before he could keep them in his heart, those pictures stopped and disappeared.

A door opened, and the scene was so familiar at this moment, with the huge courtyard and the array of arches, Fan Xian knew that he could walk to any room with his eyes closed, because this was the Fan Mansion where he had lived for a long time.

It seemed that he was forcibly dragged into the forgotten memory of Li Chengze by the evil soul. Fan Xian was not in a hurry, but he couldn't figure out why this happened in the Fan Mansion.

This night, the white moon was bright and clear, the sky was bright and the air was clear, Fan Xian had no time to enjoy the night view, and was about to look around for Li Chengze, when two young servants who were whispering came along the path behind him.There was a man as big as Fan Xian standing in the courtyard, but the two servants turned a blind eye and walked directly towards Fan Xian, then passed through Fan Xian's body.

Fan Xian understood the evil spirit's tricks. He forcibly brought himself into this world as a spirit. The spirit has no form, shadow, or sound. Naturally, there is no way to change this world.Fan Xian did not dare to underestimate an evil spirit who could transform people's memories to such a precise level.

Fan Xian knew those two young servants, and they were in charge of the catering business of the Fan Mansion on a daily basis, and they were solid and reliable in their work.Fan Xian listened, and the conversation between the two entered his ears clearly and completely.These two people are nothing more than talking about Mr. Fan in their own house. One said that Shixian fell ill again today and smashed a chair that his wife liked. He also lost his temper for no reason and dropped the bowl and chopsticks, obviously he was not such a person before.

Seeing the two men shake their heads sadly, Fan Xian patted his sleeves indifferently.

He knew in his heart that it wasn't long before Li Chengze committed suicide. In those days, he did dream about Li Chengze in various shapes every night, and during the day he was restless because of Li Chengze's death.At that time, he didn't believe that Li Chengze left just like that, just like Li Chengze didn't believe that Fan Xian had ever been happy with him.

Fan Xian followed his memory to find his room. As expected, the little Mr. Fan who looked exactly like him was sitting on the stool in pain.The mortal was wearing a dark robe, and because of the throbbing and constriction of his heart, he was struggling to breathe on his chest, his face was covered with cold sweat, and his slightly raised short bangs were wet with sweat.

Seeing himself so distressed by Li Chengze's death, Fan Xian felt melancholy for a thousand years.

In the past, Fan Xian would have thought it was just an ordinary heart disease, but now Fan Xian, as a priest, can see through his strange appearance with just one glance.What kind of angina is this? It's entirely due to the instability of the three souls and seven souls, and the mental convulsions caused by the soul wanting to rush out of the body.

Fan Xian was shocked, the heartache of those days came and went quickly, and after a while it happened frequently, it never recurred again.

Although he never thought about why his problem disappeared, he was worrying about his carelessness, when a strange cool breeze came from the window.Fan Xian looked back, the gust of wind blew the candles by the window flickering, and the rice paper on the table was blown away, circling back and forth around the poor sick mortal.

The cool breeze settled down, the white paper fell to the ground, and a translucent white hand rested on the trembling shoulder of the mortal.

Those eyebrows, those eyes are Li Chengze!

Li Chengze at this time is just a weak ghost, he is dressed like an ordinary ghost, his eyes are dull, and his expression is dull. It was extremely unstable, and the seven souls were about to leave the body uncontrollably.

Most of the souls of ganghua ghosts are like this, dying and crumbling. Before their minds and wisdom have returned to the level they were in life, it is also the best time for ghosts to take them to reincarnate.

Fan Xian's heart was full of turmoil, Li Chengze turned into a ghost, why didn't he go to find the ghost to reincarnate, but came to Fan's mansion instead.He thought about it, and couldn't help guessing: Does Li Chengze still want to take a last look at himself?

Fan Xian had nothing to say for a while, he didn't want to admit that the person sitting on the stool was himself.He was as dumb as a chicken, watching Li Chengze shaking the mortal's shoulders in a state of rage, he struggled out the word "Fan Xian" and then fell silent.

Then Li Chengze rushed out of his body, this soul was clear-headed, he had a good face, a bright smile, even a rosy face, and he seemed to be breathing, and he said "Fan Xian" softly. With a round mouth, he bravely ran towards Fan Xian's physical body, hugged him tenderly, and then disappeared without a trace.

The mortal who was suffering from illness no longer twitched, and his body and spirit were best comforted. With such help, the three souls and seven souls seemed to have touched the realm of enlightenment and enlightenment. Opened psychic and divine fate.Then he lay on the table and could not move any more, and fell asleep peacefully.

Fan Xian has been promoted for many years, and counting the life he lived longer than others, he thought he had a heart of stone, but now he saw Li Chengze's soul was blown away because of his love, and suddenly he felt that a piece of his heart had been severely ripped out.He touched the empty air in vain, weeping uncontrollably.
