The Lord is so charming
Chapter 5 05
"My child, why are you so miserable..." There was a mud house behind the two of them, hidden in the weeds, and whimpers came from it.
The two looked at each other, and walked towards the earth house tacitly.
The whimpering became clearer the closer they got, it sounded like an elderly woman, but when they walked to the door, they were all stunned.
The wooden door was tightly locked, covered with charms. This is an extremely simple technique. This kind of spell is enough to deal with little ghosts. If it encounters a vicious corpse, it may be a bit powerless.
The bell on Yao'er's neck began to clash continuously, the sound became more urgent, and he became restless. Ji Wugui hugged it tightly and looked at Xiao Chi, "Someone came one step ahead of us, could it be those fake ones?" Taoist priest"
Xiao Chi turned his hands away, "This kind of ghost painting talisman is not up to the mark, and it looks like it is used by low-level people. I am afraid it is some dog-headed mage hired by the village."
The young master Jie on the roof twitched his mouth slightly when he heard this, if it wasn't for the purpose of attracting the two of them here, how could he have used such a cheap talisman and was cheated out of money by the peddler, he was really upset.
Ji Wugui nodded, suddenly a fierce sound came from the earthen house, different from the old woman's voice just now, this time the voice was more sharp, miserable and sharp, it made people feel hairy.
"It's a young female ghost." Ji Wugui said, but Xiao Chi walked to the back of the earthen house. He was just about to follow when something hit the back of his head. He looked back quickly, but there was nothing there.
He rubbed his head and walked towards the back of the house, but when he saw the scene behind the house, his expression froze immediately.
An old woman covered in dead worms was kneeling on the ground. In front of her was a female corpse. It was a young girl with spots on her body. She had died not long ago. The appearance of her death was extremely horrific. The most powerful picture is that the old woman is eating the internal organs from the girl's belly.
Ji Wugui vomited for a while, even Xiao Chi couldn't stand the torture.
Gui Su has strict requirements, and he treats his disciples even more harshly. No matter what strange corpses are caught, his disciples will study them. Xiao Chi thinks that he has seen enough strange things under Gui Su's hands, but he didn't expect there to be more disgusting ones. picture.
When the old woman heard someone approaching, she immediately spat out the viscera in her mouth. When she stood up, the corpse worms on her body rustled down, and quickly crawled into the girl's viscera, gnawing on them continuously.
The old woman's corpse was already shriveled, and it looked like a corpse from the past few decades. According to her situation, she should be a starving ghost, otherwise she wouldn't eat the corpse.
The corpse is different from the existence of humans and ghosts. The soul in the body is damaged, so it can move without eating or drinking. It’s just that the starved ghost is different. After death, it will try its best to get the things that are most lacking in life. I can't live in peace, my soul is scattered around, and I can't return to my hometown.
Not allowing the two of them to think about it, the old woman immediately rushed towards them, Xiao Chi dodged in time, the old woman hit her head on a dry branch, piercing her seal, her skull broke immediately, and she immediately He let out a fierce cry, and it was speculated from the sound that the sobbing sound just now came from this mummy.
Just as Xiao Chi wanted to stop the old woman's movements, a pair of well-articulated hands grasped his wrists, and the visitor's tone was firm, "We shouldn't interfere in this matter."
Ji Wugui had long been stunned by Young Master Jie's actions, and he didn't see where he suddenly came from. He only felt that he was exuding a cold air, which was quite different from the old him who couldn't show his emotions.
Xiao Chi looked at the immobile mummy behind Young Master Jie and the tragic female corpse on the ground, feeling lingering in his heart. He was a fledgling, and his ability to distinguish corpses was naturally inferior to that of the veteran Tsing Yi boss. Since he said he couldn't control it, it was natural Unreasonable, but...
"My lord, these two corpses are very strange, should we investigate, if they died in a foreign country..."
The birth of young master Jie interrupted Xiao Chi, "The corpse is incomplete, it's not in our part, and even if we can seal the corpse, the mortician will not be able to drive it away."
"But these two corpses are not simple at first sight." Ji Wugui, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on others' roofs." Young Master Jie's voice was very low, but his tone was extremely dull.
Ji Wugui cast an inexplicable look at Xiao Chi, why are these two people so similar, even the tone of their speech is exactly the same.
"Ka Ka Ka..." A strange voice suddenly came from behind Young Master Jie, several people looked over at the same time, and their bodies froze at the same time.
The mummy started to eat her own bones, her withered hands had already been bitten into fine pieces by herself, and the white-yellow pus from the corpse worm's body flowed out from the corner of her mouth, the scene was extremely disgusting.
Suddenly, the mummy seemed to lose control, and began to cry continuously, with a sad voice, Xiao Chi just wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Young Master Jie, "Wait and see."
Yao'er's eyes had turned red, and there was an unusual sound coming from his throat. Ji Wugui sensed the unusualness of this corpse. Could it be that Young Master Jie knew something?
"My child, you died so badly, who the hell is it? Who is so cruel to do this, my poor child!" The voice was long and sad, but it was indeed coming from the mummy in front of him.
Xiao Chi's eyes flashed suddenly, and he quickly looked at Young Master Jie, only to hear him calmly say: "The mummy is just a body, the real lonely soul is in her body, the woman lying on the ground is named Xiaoman, I didn't understand it a few days ago To die, maybe she was murdered by someone, or maybe she was a girl from Luohua Cave as the villagers said."
"Luohuadong girl?" Xiao Chi was a little puzzled. It's not that he has never heard of the legend of Luohuadong girl, but seeing it with his own eyes is still a bit inconceivable. Besides, the death of Luohuadong girl will not be so tragic. "Should we recruit the soul from the mummy?" come out?"
Young Master Jie didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't tell Master Jiang about the matter, maybe he could use this to test Xiao Chi, after all, he wanted to be his subordinate, and he couldn't just pass Gui Su's test.
He stretched out his hand, signaling Xiao Chi to be free.
Xiao Chi glanced at Ji Wugui, Ji Wugui was puzzled by him, so he quickly lowered his head to appease Yao'er.
This is Xiao Chi's first time calling for souls outside after leaving the teacher. Calling for souls is a labor-intensive task. In addition, he relies on his own strength to condense all things and gather souls. Maybe this is the test of Young Master Jie. He can't mess it up, at least he can't embarrass Gui Su.
Xiao Chi closed his eyes, and began to concentrate, shouts rang out in his ears, all of which were the voices of lonely ghosts with a radius of hundreds of miles. It was not easy to distinguish the soul of a mummy from the noise, the only way was to Entering the remnant soul in the dry corpse to find out what happened, this method he only heard Gui Su roughly said, but never practiced it himself, in the end it was still too dangerous, even a young master like him would not dare to take the risk himself , if you fail, you will be swallowed by the remnant soul, and you will never be reborn forever.
A puff of green smoke lingered, Xiao Chi was sucked into the mummy by the remnant soul, Ji Wugui's eyes widened quickly, "He..."
On the contrary, Young Master Jie was extremely calm, but the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he didn't say much. He sat in front of the mummy and poured energy into it, but unexpectedly, he was pushed out by a strange force inside. It was very serious.
Ji Wugui knew that Xiao Chi wanted to unite with the remnant souls, and then retrieve the remaining souls from them. This method was very similar to a Gu method of the Nan family, but he had heard about it and hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"Zi Jie, Mr. Xiao, he..."
"It's all up to him, you stay here and I'll go back."
Ji Wugui responded, and then sat on the stone steps with Yao'er staring at the straight mummy without blinking.
Mr. Xiao, you must not be in trouble.
"Mother, this is a letter from the suzerain entrusted to you by the suzerain." The quiet voice came, and Xiao Chi took advantage of the situation to look over, and the target was a girl with bright eyes, like a fairy.
Xiao Chi recognized that girl at a glance, but he didn't expect that she had been a beauty since she was a child.
Before she had time to sigh, Xiao Chi was suddenly attracted by the surrounding environment. At this time, she was in a small courtyard surrounded by flowers and trees, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The trees were full of swinging bells, and the wind blew through and made a crisp sound.
Is it here
Ji family!
With a "slap", a crisp slap came, and the sound of a child crying came from the room, Xiao Chi walked into the room stepping on the stones on the ground.
A dignified woman was protecting the little girl, and standing in front of them was a woman in fine clothes, her brows were tightly frowned, the smell of powder on her body filled the room, Xiao Chi unconsciously covered his mouth and nose , before he regained consciousness, another blow to the ear fell, and hit the kneeling woman hard on the face, half of her face turned red immediately, Xiao Chi felt pain even looking at it.
"Aniang!" The girl suddenly broke free from the woman, knelt and moved to the woman's eyes, "Madam, please forgive us, this matter has nothing to do with my aunt, it's all Xiaoman's fault, it's... ah!"
Before Xiaoman finished speaking, the woman grabbed her hair and threw it aside, and said viciously: "You are just like your mother, you are a cheap hoof, do you think any bastard can be said to be the child of the suzerain? Jiang Li , and you are a waste! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want if the suzerain looks at you, I am the rightful master in this family!”
Hearing this, Xiao Chi suddenly realized that the woman standing there was Qu Sheng. Although she was not a lady, she heard that she was quite good at making Gu. It was because of this that Ji Wugui's father Ji Shenshang fell in love with her back then. But I'm afraid that Ji Wugui still doesn't know that his father has such a romantic past.
Calculated in this way, Xiaoman can be regarded as Ji Wugui's half-sister, but Qu Sheng is so unreasonable, and the son he gave birth to is gentle and elegant, I'm afraid the wonderful thing is still to come.
Xiao Man was dragged aside, Jiang Li was in great pain, and just about to go to protect her, but Qu Sheng stepped on her hand hard, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Xiao Chi could see clearly that Xiaoman's eyes were filled with resentment, no one could swallow it, but she never thought that Xiaoman would stab Qu Sheng in the chest from behind.
A child actually carried a murder weapon with him!
The white knife enters and the red knife exits, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes.
"You...you..." Qu Sheng clutched her chest, the blood was glaring, staining her new clothes red, her eyes were full of anger, but she couldn't say a complete sentence anymore, she turned her head up, Fell in a pool of blood.
"Xiaoman!" Jiang Li's voice was almost shouted, with shock and even a trace of fear, I'm afraid it was more heartache, because no mother wants her child to become a murderer, let alone the little one. Man looks so well-behaved and sensible.
Qu Sheng's blood flowed all over the ground, fearing that there would be no chance of surviving, the mother and daughter had only one way to go.
That is to escape.
However, where to escape and how to escape
Ji's family style is strict, and the upper and lower areas are tightly sealed, even if it is a fly, it is impossible to get out, let alone two living people.
"Xiao Man, hurry up, go out and find a place to hide." Jiang Li suddenly calmed down, which surprised Xiao Chi, and when he thought about it, he felt sad again. A mother would naturally abandon herself at such a moment. It is a deliberate move to protect the child's body, and it is even more helpless.
"Mother, I'm not leaving. I'm the one who does the work. I killed the suzerain's wife. I will never shirk it to anyone. I killed her because she deserves to be killed!" Xiaoman clenched his fists tightly when he said this. His eyes seemed to burst into flames at any moment, and he was completely different from the child just now.
"That one deserves to be killed!" A whirlwind of Shen Yin came, Xiao Chi looked over, and saw a figure in white clothes walking in outside the door. He was nine feet long, with long hair tied high, and his face was a bit sinister. Qinglong, this person must be a disciple of the Ji family, but he can walk freely in the female room raised by the suzerain, his identity must not be simple, could it be Ji Shenshang himself
No, if it was Ji Shenshang himself, he would not be so calm. This person obviously looks like a spectator.
"I think my eldest brother is not mean to you, so how could he be cruel to my brother and sister-in-law next time!"
Ji Shenshang has two younger brothers, one is sick and bedridden all year round, the other is a drunkard who spends his days with flowers and wine, this man has a steady gait and does not smell of alcohol on his body, obviously these two men are not compatible with him, Could it be that Ji Shenshang has other younger brothers?
"Our mother and daughter have fallen to this point, and there is no way out. If you want to kill or kill, you can do whatever you want." Jiang Li's eyes were dull, and Xiaoman hadn't spoken to him since he entered the house. Afraid of this person.
"Actually, I can take you away now, but I, Shen Qiu, don't make money-losing business. If I want to survive, I will leave the dagger in the little girl's hand."
The name Shen Qiu was extremely unfamiliar to Xiao Chi, he was sure he didn't know it, as for his relationship with Ji Shenshang it was hard to guess.
Before Xiao Chi could figure it out carefully, there was a whoosh, something passed through Shen Qiu's chest, and when he looked over again, Shen Qiu was already a dead person.
In less than half an hour, two people died here in succession. Xiao Chi was not surprised, but Xiaoman's reaction was too flat, as if nothing happened.
At this time, another figure walked in outside the door, it was a young man, about the same age as Xiaoman, dressed in a purple robe, with good looks, Xiao Chi couldn't help but take a second look.
"Why are you Shang Jue, why are you here?" Xiaoman asked aloud.
Jiang Li looked at the young man in front of him, backed away unconsciously, something swept past his eyes, before Xiao Chi could see clearly, a mist rose, and after it cleared, only two corpses remained in the room.
Just as she was about to step forward, her head immediately burst into pain, and her chest seemed to be pressed by some boulder, and it was difficult to breathe. What's going on?
"Xiao Chi...Xiao Chi..." Gui Su's voice sounded in his ears, although the tone was harsh, it was like a wake-up call, waking him up immediately.
When she opened her eyes again, she had already returned to Feihu Village. Seeing her pale face, Ji Wugui immediately stepped forward, "Young Master Xiao, are you alright?"
Xiao Chi leaned on the wall behind him, stood up, looked around, but he couldn't see the figure of Young Master Jie, "Where is the Lord?"
"Oh, he said he wanted to go back and get something."
Xiao Chi was thoughtful, when he was in a body with the remnant soul, his soul would not be sent out suddenly. There is only one reason, that is, the original owner in his memory died at that time, but Jiang Li could be killed at that moment. only one person.
Xiaoman's cold eyes suddenly flashed in his eyes, "It may also be two people..."
"What two people?" Ji Wugui was puzzled.
Xiao Chi looked at Ji Wugui, his eyes were clear, like a child who had just entered the world, if he knew that his mother died at the hands of the girl in front of him, I don't know how he would feel, and he didn't know how Ji Shenshang How did they dispose of those two corpses? Logically speaking, Ji Wugui should not have been very old at the time, and he probably wouldn't have had a deep impression of these things. Asking about it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Since it is a blank piece of paper, it should be good deeds, do not splash ink on it for painting, a good painting is a wonderful painting, but a bad painting will end in tragedy.
"It's nothing, everything will be discussed after the Lord returns."
Ji Wugui nodded, looked at Jiang Li's corpse, there seemed to be candles swaying in the wind in those empty eye sockets, but when he looked closely, there was nothing there, he moved away from staring at the corpse, and looked at Xiaoman Those corpse insects had already eaten up Xiaoman's internal organs, leaving only some disgusting juices. He really admired Xiao Chi, and he was not moved at all after seeing such a scene.
"Mr. Xiao, it is said that Mr. Gui is strict, you must have suffered a lot under his hands." Ji Wugui was bored, so he found a topic at random.
Xiao Chi closed his eyes, sat here quietly, and asked an irrelevant question for a while, "The Ji family is not far from here, right?"
Ji Wugui paused, "It's not far away, Mr. Xiao asked why?"
"If I say that I want to live in Ji's house, would you like it?" Xiao Chi opened his eyes quietly, and looked at Ji Wugui slowly, just as the wind blew over his black hair at the temples, that moment was actually a bit gentle.
Ji Wugui frowned when he heard the words, "Of course I am willing."
"Even if the lord doesn't go with me, are you still willing?" Xiao Chi stared at Ji Wugui, as if he wanted to see through his heart, Ji Wugui's heart fluttered with piercing eyes.
"I..." Ji Wugui lowered his head and didn't speak as if he had suddenly seen through his mind. He just patted Yao'er's head in a daze.
Xiao Chi withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "I will find a way to let the Lord go with me."
"Really?" Ji Wugui raised his head immediately, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he had caught countless stars.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Chi became even more suspicious, "Why does Mr. Ji care so much about the Lord?"
"Because he is very powerful." Ji Wugui said casually.
"Is that all? There is no other reason?" Xiao Chi continued to ask, looking at him inexplicably interesting.
Ji Wugui was puzzled, "What else could be the reason? I am not the only one in the world who wants him, I have the same purpose as others."
There was a smile on the corner of Xiao Chi's mouth, as if he knew something important, "You want him?"
Ji Wugui looked at Xiao Chi's appearance, no matter how dull he was, he knew what kind of 'wish' this was, and felt ashamed and angry, "Mr. Nothing else."
Xiao Chi was completely amused by his serious appearance, just when he wanted to tease Ji Wugui again, Young Master Jie was already in front of him, he immediately suppressed his smile, stood up, "Master."
Young Master Jie was holding a bunch of junk in his hands, all of which were unworthy ghost symbols, and he threw the burden to Xiao Chi, "Burn these unworthy things."
Xiao Chi frowned slightly, these ghostly painted talismans and those on the door were obviously made by the same person, which means that in fact, Young Master Jie came here before them, and then deliberately set a trap to lure them into the bait?And listening to his tone, could you have heard what he said?
Will this be too boring?Just now in the tavern he clearly said that he was different from them, but now it was logical to gather with them, Xiao Chi narrowed his eyes, it seemed that it was not because of him thinking too much, but because Young Master Jie was really bored, so boring that he had a kind of almost naive childishness.
Xiao Chi took the will-o'-the-wisp and burned the ghost-painted talismans clean, and then sprinkled the ashes into Xiaoman's belly. The open belly slowly closed, as if it had never been dug open.
Ji Wugui slowed down his voice, "Young Master Xiao, should you tell me what you saw?"
Xiao Chi's eyes swept away, and Ji Wugui immediately fell silent, not daring to say a word, as if his heart was hit by something suddenly.
"My lord." Xiao Chi still didn't dare to let go in front of Young Master Jie, before he got to know this person thoroughly, it's better not to tear off the disguise too early.
When Gui Su was alive, he seldom talked about Young Master Jie, only occasionally when he was drunk, Xiao Chi would make a sentence or two, but they were all nonsense to praise him. He didn't think there was anything special about it, the only thing that puzzled him was his big green robe, which he never changed every day, if it wasn't for his ugly face that he used a hat to cover his face?
That's right, all the people in the world are talking about the name of the old secretary in Tsing Yi, and no one talks about his appearance at all. I'm afraid it's just as she thought, this person is ugly.
"Master Xiao..." Ji Wugui looked at her in a daze, and hurriedly poked her with his elbow, "Zijie called you."
Xiao Chi came back to his senses, Fang Jue had behaved rudely just now, and immediately cupped his hands, "My lord, I..."
Young Master Jie turned around and tilted his head slightly, "Follow me."
The voice was neither loud nor low, but it hit Xiao Chi's heart like a stone. Ji Wugui cast a sympathetic look at Xiao Chi's back, and shook his head, "Young Master Xiao, please ask for blessings."
Xiao Chi followed Young Master Jie to the front of the house, knowing that he couldn't blame himself for that little incident just now, then he must have something to say, and he deliberately avoided Ji Wugui.
"What did you see?" Young Master Jie asked.
Xiao Chi told Young Master Jie everything he saw and heard, and then added: "My lord, should we look for Shang Jue now?"
Young Master Jie's face darkened, "Who do you think killed Jiang Li?"
Xiao Chi thought for a moment, "Shang Jue is the biggest suspect, and it may also be Xiaoman."
Young Master Jie laughed softly, "You and I don't know the specific situation at that time. The person who untied the bell had to tie it. Although the dead cannot be resurrected, we can make the dead speak."
"Yes."
But when the two returned to the house again, they were both stunned.
The ground was empty, and Ji Wugui also disappeared, only Yao'er was left on the ground sobbing.
Xiao Chi frowned, "This..."
Young Master Jie lowered his voice, "It can't go far, and without a soul, its power can't support it for too long. Take that fox with us and let's go."
Xiao Chi spread out his palm, and a sharp long sword fell into it. He put his hands together, and the blade was unsheathed, hanging in the air.
Young Master Jie jumped on easily, Xiao Chi followed, Yu Jian moved forward.
The harsh wind carved their faces like knives, and the treacherous and changeable clouds entangled in the hair. Young Master Jie stood behind Xiao Chi, and the strong wind blew off his coat and hat, revealing his face.
Long hair like black ink, long eyebrows like distant black, lips as light as water, eyes clear and innocent, slender eyelashes as thin as cicada wings, shivering in the wind, tall and tall, with a radiant glow all over her body. He has a dusty aura, not at all like someone who has dealt with the dead for a long time.
Xiao Chi looked at all sides, and didn't feel the gaze behind him at all. From time to time, the bell on Yao'er's neck rang, and the tone was chaotic. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head immediately, only to see Young Master Jie with his back to him , with one hand behind his back, his whole body exudes an unattainable indifference.
"My lord, I found it."
"Well, let's go down."
The long sword went straight down and stopped outside a cave. There were gravels everywhere, and beside it was a clear stream, surrounded by a sea of flowers, and shaded by green trees. Only the side of the cave was overgrown with weeds, which was desolate.
Just as Xiao Chi wanted to move forward, Young Master Jie stopped him, his voice was extremely low, "I won't let you stand in front of me."
"Yeah." Xiao Chi didn't hear what Young Master Jie said, and tilted his head to ask questions.
"It's nothing, I don't know what's inside, so be careful." Young Master Jie's voice was as clear as a mountain spring, not as deep as when we first met, and Xiao Chi's heart felt a warm current inexplicably.
The inside of the cave was pitch black, but when they stepped in, it lit up for the first time, the candlelight flickered, blood spread, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of withered hands appeared from nowhere and grabbed Young Master Yu's neck fiercely.
"My lord!" Xiao Chi shouted, and when he finished speaking, he exerted strength with one hand, and a cluster of red ghost fire rose from his palm, but unexpectedly, he and Yao'er were pushed out of the cave by a powerful force almost at the same time.
An extremely beautiful face was deeply imprinted in his pupils, and even the soft rolling sound seemed to lose some of the breath of an exile, and then the whole person was pushed to the ground, the pain spread to all limbs, Xiao Chi stared blankly. Seeing that the cave was covered by falling rubble, but he couldn't move.
It turned out that he had been unable to undo the acupuncture points that Young Master Jie had tapped all this time. In vain of his boast, the pain on his body was still a reminder of what happened just now.
At the last moment of life and death, Gongzi Jie pushed him out of the cave and sealed his acupuncture points so that he could not move an inch.
Could it be that Young Master Yu wants to deal with the ghost in the cave alone?
He clearly saw that thousands of red eyes and blood pupils were staring at them closely, emitting a gloomy evil light in the dark, which was the symbol of fierce ghosts.
No matter how powerful Mr. Ren is, he might not last long with his own strength, no! He must find a way to get in!
Yao'er's cultivation base is low, and he fainted with a single palm. Fortunately, Young Master Jie's strength was controlled just right, and no vital parts were hurt.
The sun became venomous, and Xiao Chi was suffering minute by minute. He tried to untie the acupuncture points by force, but all was in vain. It seems that he still underestimated this young master.
Young Master Jie was violently pulled off the ground by those withered hands, and fell onto the wall with a slight flick. The wall was cold and damp, and his wrists and ankles were quickly tied up by iron chains. Jiang Li in front of him.
"I tried my best to lure me here, maybe it's just to tie me down." Young Master Jie lowered his eyebrows and saw Ji Wugui who had passed out, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Li smiled towards the sky, "Why does the Tsing Yi boss even care about me, a mummy who has been dead for decades?"
Young Master Jie turned his wrist and smiled easily, "It's true that I can't control you, but if you touch someone you shouldn't touch, I can destroy your soul immediately."
Jiang Li landed on the ground, his dry fingers gently slid across Ji Wugui's cheeks, and then looked at Young Master Jie with empty eyes, as if in a demonstration.
"I don't want to do anything to you, I just want to know how your daughter died." Young Master Jie directly ignored Jiang Li's childish behavior.
Speaking of Xiaoman, Jiang Li's shoulders suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and he whimpered, "Xiaoman... Xiaoman..."
"Xiao Man is dead... I... I'm left alone..." Jiang Li cried sadly, but Young Master Jie felt that her sorrow didn't come from the bottom of her heart, and suddenly she started wailing like crazy, "No ! I have a son! I have a son!"
son
Taking advantage of Jiang Li's madness, Young Master Jie quickly broke free from the chain, took out a talisman from his sleeve, and stabbed it straight into Jiang Li's seal. In an instant, the mountains shook, flying sand rose, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
Come to think of it, this was Jiang Li's last memory before his death.
In a piece of yellow sand, Jiang Li's hands were tied by a rope, but she still tightly protected her slightly protruding belly, and a rein was tied around her neck. What was even more tragic was that her tongue was cut off by someone, but not all of it was cut off. There was still a trace of drag left, the tongue was half hanging, dripping with blood, it was horrible, even the slightest movement would involve the wound, Jiang Li's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Shang Jue in front of him with tears in his eyes.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Jiang Li could only make a sound of um, ah, and shook her head wildly. The blood stained her entire skirt, and the yellow sand rolled up her hair. She couldn't imagine what she had gone through before. What, even Young Master Jie's heart was shaken.
Shang Jue was sitting on the horseback, with the unconscious Xiaoman in his arms, holding a dagger in his hand, the blood on it was still dripping down, with a smile on his lips, he glanced at the rope tied to the horse , Clamping his legs, the horse immediately neighed and ran forward without stopping.
Jiang Li was dragged in the scorching yellow sand, his clothes were quickly torn, his entire face was forced to be buried in the yellow sand, a large piece of his tongue was rubbed off, his face was already bloody, and he could no longer utter any sound. , while Shang Jue, who was riding on horseback, laughed even more recklessly. What kind of hatred can drive a person so mad?
Just when Young Master Yu thought that Jiang Li was dying, he found that she was biting the rope with her teeth, and before that, she tried her best to bite off her own tongue.
The rope was woven of messy hemp, which was easier to deal with than the iron chain, but with Jiang Li's current state, it was likely that she would be tortured to death by Shang Jue before she bit it off.
It was like a dream, with a slight pain in his heart. Young Master Jie felt Jiang Li's pain for himself. He couldn't just sit idly by and was about to intervene when a pair of white and tender hands stopped him.
Young Master Jie took advantage of the situation to look over, and saw a gentle and pitiful face, only to hear the man smile and say, "I'm Jiang Li."
Young Master Jie remained silent, and withdrew his actions. Maybe he forcibly entered Jiang Li's memory and recalled her soul, but in this way, as long as he left, Jiang Li's seven souls and six souls would disappear immediately.
"Why?" Young Master Xuan couldn't help asking.
Jiang Li looked at the scenes he had experienced, but he could no longer feel that kind of pain in his body. There is nothing more sad than heartbreak, and what kind of cruelty is it to watch himself die with his own eyes?
"At that time, I was already pregnant and homeless." Jiang Li said lightly.
Young Master Jie suddenly looked at Jiang Li, Jiang Li was expressionless, looking at everything in front of him calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
All of a sudden, the questions in Young Master Jie's mind seemed to be answered, how Jiang Li was killed, why Ji Wugui was taken away, and why Jiang Li appeared here.
Everything suddenly became clear, only the dying Jiang Li was left in the yellow sand, his hands were still tightly protecting his lower abdomen, at this moment a figure came not far away, before Young Master Jie could see clearly, a puff of white smoke shot into the room. His sight and Jiang Li's voice echoed in his ears.
"Things of the past, future generations know will only add to the sadness, I just ask you to protect me and have no return. I am afraid that I will never be able to return this love to you. The only thing I have left is this yellow sand all over the sky." As for Xiaoman, there is nothing I can do."
"The long yellow sand rises, and the long smoke sets and the sun sees you. Shen Shang, Ah Li has done too many wrong things in his life, but the only thing I don't regret is meeting you."
"I will guard this desert well, and wait for you to come to see me again, even if it's just one."
"Wait for you to see me for the last time..."
Young Master Jie stood in the desert, a drop of crystal suddenly fell on the back of his hand, Jiang Li's smiling face flashed in front of his eyes, his eyes were full of tears, and he said three words with every frown and smile.
"I—don't—regret—"
After a dream for thousands of years, wandering on the edge of memory, Ji Wugui who just woke up has returned to Ji's house, and he doesn't know anything about what happened before. Maybe this is Jiang Li's last wish.
"Young master, you are awake, do you have any discomfort?" Chu Qi, who had been staying by the bed, smiled happily, and immediately stepped forward to check Ji Wugui.
Chuqi is Ji Wugui's guard, and he should never leave him at all, but because Ji Wugui ran away from home this time secretly, no matter how he looked around, he couldn't find it. Fortunately, he met the adult.
Ji Wugui looked bewildered and rubbed his sore forehead, "What's wrong with me?"
Before Chu Qi could speak, Xiao Chi walked in with Yao'er in his arms. As soon as Chu Qi saw the person coming, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Chu Qi has seen Mr. Red Clothes."
"En." Xiao Chi nodded, and Chu Qi bowed his head knowingly and retreated.
"On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the suzerain ordered you to fetch plum wine."
"Green plum wine is carefully brewed by the young master. Doesn't it mean that the young master can't touch it?"
"The lord in the front hall wants it. We, as subordinates, can only take orders. Let's go quickly. It seems that these two lords are not easy to mess with masters."
"Okay, I'll go get it now."
The two looked at each other, and walked towards the earth house tacitly.
The whimpering became clearer the closer they got, it sounded like an elderly woman, but when they walked to the door, they were all stunned.
The wooden door was tightly locked, covered with charms. This is an extremely simple technique. This kind of spell is enough to deal with little ghosts. If it encounters a vicious corpse, it may be a bit powerless.
The bell on Yao'er's neck began to clash continuously, the sound became more urgent, and he became restless. Ji Wugui hugged it tightly and looked at Xiao Chi, "Someone came one step ahead of us, could it be those fake ones?" Taoist priest"
Xiao Chi turned his hands away, "This kind of ghost painting talisman is not up to the mark, and it looks like it is used by low-level people. I am afraid it is some dog-headed mage hired by the village."
The young master Jie on the roof twitched his mouth slightly when he heard this, if it wasn't for the purpose of attracting the two of them here, how could he have used such a cheap talisman and was cheated out of money by the peddler, he was really upset.
Ji Wugui nodded, suddenly a fierce sound came from the earthen house, different from the old woman's voice just now, this time the voice was more sharp, miserable and sharp, it made people feel hairy.
"It's a young female ghost." Ji Wugui said, but Xiao Chi walked to the back of the earthen house. He was just about to follow when something hit the back of his head. He looked back quickly, but there was nothing there.
He rubbed his head and walked towards the back of the house, but when he saw the scene behind the house, his expression froze immediately.
An old woman covered in dead worms was kneeling on the ground. In front of her was a female corpse. It was a young girl with spots on her body. She had died not long ago. The appearance of her death was extremely horrific. The most powerful picture is that the old woman is eating the internal organs from the girl's belly.
Ji Wugui vomited for a while, even Xiao Chi couldn't stand the torture.
Gui Su has strict requirements, and he treats his disciples even more harshly. No matter what strange corpses are caught, his disciples will study them. Xiao Chi thinks that he has seen enough strange things under Gui Su's hands, but he didn't expect there to be more disgusting ones. picture.
When the old woman heard someone approaching, she immediately spat out the viscera in her mouth. When she stood up, the corpse worms on her body rustled down, and quickly crawled into the girl's viscera, gnawing on them continuously.
The old woman's corpse was already shriveled, and it looked like a corpse from the past few decades. According to her situation, she should be a starving ghost, otherwise she wouldn't eat the corpse.
The corpse is different from the existence of humans and ghosts. The soul in the body is damaged, so it can move without eating or drinking. It’s just that the starved ghost is different. After death, it will try its best to get the things that are most lacking in life. I can't live in peace, my soul is scattered around, and I can't return to my hometown.
Not allowing the two of them to think about it, the old woman immediately rushed towards them, Xiao Chi dodged in time, the old woman hit her head on a dry branch, piercing her seal, her skull broke immediately, and she immediately He let out a fierce cry, and it was speculated from the sound that the sobbing sound just now came from this mummy.
Just as Xiao Chi wanted to stop the old woman's movements, a pair of well-articulated hands grasped his wrists, and the visitor's tone was firm, "We shouldn't interfere in this matter."
Ji Wugui had long been stunned by Young Master Jie's actions, and he didn't see where he suddenly came from. He only felt that he was exuding a cold air, which was quite different from the old him who couldn't show his emotions.
Xiao Chi looked at the immobile mummy behind Young Master Jie and the tragic female corpse on the ground, feeling lingering in his heart. He was a fledgling, and his ability to distinguish corpses was naturally inferior to that of the veteran Tsing Yi boss. Since he said he couldn't control it, it was natural Unreasonable, but...
"My lord, these two corpses are very strange, should we investigate, if they died in a foreign country..."
The birth of young master Jie interrupted Xiao Chi, "The corpse is incomplete, it's not in our part, and even if we can seal the corpse, the mortician will not be able to drive it away."
"But these two corpses are not simple at first sight." Ji Wugui, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on others' roofs." Young Master Jie's voice was very low, but his tone was extremely dull.
Ji Wugui cast an inexplicable look at Xiao Chi, why are these two people so similar, even the tone of their speech is exactly the same.
"Ka Ka Ka..." A strange voice suddenly came from behind Young Master Jie, several people looked over at the same time, and their bodies froze at the same time.
The mummy started to eat her own bones, her withered hands had already been bitten into fine pieces by herself, and the white-yellow pus from the corpse worm's body flowed out from the corner of her mouth, the scene was extremely disgusting.
Suddenly, the mummy seemed to lose control, and began to cry continuously, with a sad voice, Xiao Chi just wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Young Master Jie, "Wait and see."
Yao'er's eyes had turned red, and there was an unusual sound coming from his throat. Ji Wugui sensed the unusualness of this corpse. Could it be that Young Master Jie knew something?
"My child, you died so badly, who the hell is it? Who is so cruel to do this, my poor child!" The voice was long and sad, but it was indeed coming from the mummy in front of him.
Xiao Chi's eyes flashed suddenly, and he quickly looked at Young Master Jie, only to hear him calmly say: "The mummy is just a body, the real lonely soul is in her body, the woman lying on the ground is named Xiaoman, I didn't understand it a few days ago To die, maybe she was murdered by someone, or maybe she was a girl from Luohua Cave as the villagers said."
"Luohuadong girl?" Xiao Chi was a little puzzled. It's not that he has never heard of the legend of Luohuadong girl, but seeing it with his own eyes is still a bit inconceivable. Besides, the death of Luohuadong girl will not be so tragic. "Should we recruit the soul from the mummy?" come out?"
Young Master Jie didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking about something, he didn't tell Master Jiang about the matter, maybe he could use this to test Xiao Chi, after all, he wanted to be his subordinate, and he couldn't just pass Gui Su's test.
He stretched out his hand, signaling Xiao Chi to be free.
Xiao Chi glanced at Ji Wugui, Ji Wugui was puzzled by him, so he quickly lowered his head to appease Yao'er.
This is Xiao Chi's first time calling for souls outside after leaving the teacher. Calling for souls is a labor-intensive task. In addition, he relies on his own strength to condense all things and gather souls. Maybe this is the test of Young Master Jie. He can't mess it up, at least he can't embarrass Gui Su.
Xiao Chi closed his eyes, and began to concentrate, shouts rang out in his ears, all of which were the voices of lonely ghosts with a radius of hundreds of miles. It was not easy to distinguish the soul of a mummy from the noise, the only way was to Entering the remnant soul in the dry corpse to find out what happened, this method he only heard Gui Su roughly said, but never practiced it himself, in the end it was still too dangerous, even a young master like him would not dare to take the risk himself , if you fail, you will be swallowed by the remnant soul, and you will never be reborn forever.
A puff of green smoke lingered, Xiao Chi was sucked into the mummy by the remnant soul, Ji Wugui's eyes widened quickly, "He..."
On the contrary, Young Master Jie was extremely calm, but the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he didn't say much. He sat in front of the mummy and poured energy into it, but unexpectedly, he was pushed out by a strange force inside. It was very serious.
Ji Wugui knew that Xiao Chi wanted to unite with the remnant souls, and then retrieve the remaining souls from them. This method was very similar to a Gu method of the Nan family, but he had heard about it and hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"Zi Jie, Mr. Xiao, he..."
"It's all up to him, you stay here and I'll go back."
Ji Wugui responded, and then sat on the stone steps with Yao'er staring at the straight mummy without blinking.
Mr. Xiao, you must not be in trouble.
"Mother, this is a letter from the suzerain entrusted to you by the suzerain." The quiet voice came, and Xiao Chi took advantage of the situation to look over, and the target was a girl with bright eyes, like a fairy.
Xiao Chi recognized that girl at a glance, but he didn't expect that she had been a beauty since she was a child.
Before she had time to sigh, Xiao Chi was suddenly attracted by the surrounding environment. At this time, she was in a small courtyard surrounded by flowers and trees, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The trees were full of swinging bells, and the wind blew through and made a crisp sound.
Is it here
Ji family!
With a "slap", a crisp slap came, and the sound of a child crying came from the room, Xiao Chi walked into the room stepping on the stones on the ground.
A dignified woman was protecting the little girl, and standing in front of them was a woman in fine clothes, her brows were tightly frowned, the smell of powder on her body filled the room, Xiao Chi unconsciously covered his mouth and nose , before he regained consciousness, another blow to the ear fell, and hit the kneeling woman hard on the face, half of her face turned red immediately, Xiao Chi felt pain even looking at it.
"Aniang!" The girl suddenly broke free from the woman, knelt and moved to the woman's eyes, "Madam, please forgive us, this matter has nothing to do with my aunt, it's all Xiaoman's fault, it's... ah!"
Before Xiaoman finished speaking, the woman grabbed her hair and threw it aside, and said viciously: "You are just like your mother, you are a cheap hoof, do you think any bastard can be said to be the child of the suzerain? Jiang Li , and you are a waste! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want if the suzerain looks at you, I am the rightful master in this family!”
Hearing this, Xiao Chi suddenly realized that the woman standing there was Qu Sheng. Although she was not a lady, she heard that she was quite good at making Gu. It was because of this that Ji Wugui's father Ji Shenshang fell in love with her back then. But I'm afraid that Ji Wugui still doesn't know that his father has such a romantic past.
Calculated in this way, Xiaoman can be regarded as Ji Wugui's half-sister, but Qu Sheng is so unreasonable, and the son he gave birth to is gentle and elegant, I'm afraid the wonderful thing is still to come.
Xiao Man was dragged aside, Jiang Li was in great pain, and just about to go to protect her, but Qu Sheng stepped on her hand hard, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Xiao Chi could see clearly that Xiaoman's eyes were filled with resentment, no one could swallow it, but she never thought that Xiaoman would stab Qu Sheng in the chest from behind.
A child actually carried a murder weapon with him!
The white knife enters and the red knife exits, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes.
"You...you..." Qu Sheng clutched her chest, the blood was glaring, staining her new clothes red, her eyes were full of anger, but she couldn't say a complete sentence anymore, she turned her head up, Fell in a pool of blood.
"Xiaoman!" Jiang Li's voice was almost shouted, with shock and even a trace of fear, I'm afraid it was more heartache, because no mother wants her child to become a murderer, let alone the little one. Man looks so well-behaved and sensible.
Qu Sheng's blood flowed all over the ground, fearing that there would be no chance of surviving, the mother and daughter had only one way to go.
That is to escape.
However, where to escape and how to escape
Ji's family style is strict, and the upper and lower areas are tightly sealed, even if it is a fly, it is impossible to get out, let alone two living people.
"Xiao Man, hurry up, go out and find a place to hide." Jiang Li suddenly calmed down, which surprised Xiao Chi, and when he thought about it, he felt sad again. A mother would naturally abandon herself at such a moment. It is a deliberate move to protect the child's body, and it is even more helpless.
"Mother, I'm not leaving. I'm the one who does the work. I killed the suzerain's wife. I will never shirk it to anyone. I killed her because she deserves to be killed!" Xiaoman clenched his fists tightly when he said this. His eyes seemed to burst into flames at any moment, and he was completely different from the child just now.
"That one deserves to be killed!" A whirlwind of Shen Yin came, Xiao Chi looked over, and saw a figure in white clothes walking in outside the door. He was nine feet long, with long hair tied high, and his face was a bit sinister. Qinglong, this person must be a disciple of the Ji family, but he can walk freely in the female room raised by the suzerain, his identity must not be simple, could it be Ji Shenshang himself
No, if it was Ji Shenshang himself, he would not be so calm. This person obviously looks like a spectator.
"I think my eldest brother is not mean to you, so how could he be cruel to my brother and sister-in-law next time!"
Ji Shenshang has two younger brothers, one is sick and bedridden all year round, the other is a drunkard who spends his days with flowers and wine, this man has a steady gait and does not smell of alcohol on his body, obviously these two men are not compatible with him, Could it be that Ji Shenshang has other younger brothers?
"Our mother and daughter have fallen to this point, and there is no way out. If you want to kill or kill, you can do whatever you want." Jiang Li's eyes were dull, and Xiaoman hadn't spoken to him since he entered the house. Afraid of this person.
"Actually, I can take you away now, but I, Shen Qiu, don't make money-losing business. If I want to survive, I will leave the dagger in the little girl's hand."
The name Shen Qiu was extremely unfamiliar to Xiao Chi, he was sure he didn't know it, as for his relationship with Ji Shenshang it was hard to guess.
Before Xiao Chi could figure it out carefully, there was a whoosh, something passed through Shen Qiu's chest, and when he looked over again, Shen Qiu was already a dead person.
In less than half an hour, two people died here in succession. Xiao Chi was not surprised, but Xiaoman's reaction was too flat, as if nothing happened.
At this time, another figure walked in outside the door, it was a young man, about the same age as Xiaoman, dressed in a purple robe, with good looks, Xiao Chi couldn't help but take a second look.
"Why are you Shang Jue, why are you here?" Xiaoman asked aloud.
Jiang Li looked at the young man in front of him, backed away unconsciously, something swept past his eyes, before Xiao Chi could see clearly, a mist rose, and after it cleared, only two corpses remained in the room.
Just as she was about to step forward, her head immediately burst into pain, and her chest seemed to be pressed by some boulder, and it was difficult to breathe. What's going on?
"Xiao Chi...Xiao Chi..." Gui Su's voice sounded in his ears, although the tone was harsh, it was like a wake-up call, waking him up immediately.
When she opened her eyes again, she had already returned to Feihu Village. Seeing her pale face, Ji Wugui immediately stepped forward, "Young Master Xiao, are you alright?"
Xiao Chi leaned on the wall behind him, stood up, looked around, but he couldn't see the figure of Young Master Jie, "Where is the Lord?"
"Oh, he said he wanted to go back and get something."
Xiao Chi was thoughtful, when he was in a body with the remnant soul, his soul would not be sent out suddenly. There is only one reason, that is, the original owner in his memory died at that time, but Jiang Li could be killed at that moment. only one person.
Xiaoman's cold eyes suddenly flashed in his eyes, "It may also be two people..."
"What two people?" Ji Wugui was puzzled.
Xiao Chi looked at Ji Wugui, his eyes were clear, like a child who had just entered the world, if he knew that his mother died at the hands of the girl in front of him, I don't know how he would feel, and he didn't know how Ji Shenshang How did they dispose of those two corpses? Logically speaking, Ji Wugui should not have been very old at the time, and he probably wouldn't have had a deep impression of these things. Asking about it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Since it is a blank piece of paper, it should be good deeds, do not splash ink on it for painting, a good painting is a wonderful painting, but a bad painting will end in tragedy.
"It's nothing, everything will be discussed after the Lord returns."
Ji Wugui nodded, looked at Jiang Li's corpse, there seemed to be candles swaying in the wind in those empty eye sockets, but when he looked closely, there was nothing there, he moved away from staring at the corpse, and looked at Xiaoman Those corpse insects had already eaten up Xiaoman's internal organs, leaving only some disgusting juices. He really admired Xiao Chi, and he was not moved at all after seeing such a scene.
"Mr. Xiao, it is said that Mr. Gui is strict, you must have suffered a lot under his hands." Ji Wugui was bored, so he found a topic at random.
Xiao Chi closed his eyes, sat here quietly, and asked an irrelevant question for a while, "The Ji family is not far from here, right?"
Ji Wugui paused, "It's not far away, Mr. Xiao asked why?"
"If I say that I want to live in Ji's house, would you like it?" Xiao Chi opened his eyes quietly, and looked at Ji Wugui slowly, just as the wind blew over his black hair at the temples, that moment was actually a bit gentle.
Ji Wugui frowned when he heard the words, "Of course I am willing."
"Even if the lord doesn't go with me, are you still willing?" Xiao Chi stared at Ji Wugui, as if he wanted to see through his heart, Ji Wugui's heart fluttered with piercing eyes.
"I..." Ji Wugui lowered his head and didn't speak as if he had suddenly seen through his mind. He just patted Yao'er's head in a daze.
Xiao Chi withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "I will find a way to let the Lord go with me."
"Really?" Ji Wugui raised his head immediately, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he had caught countless stars.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Chi became even more suspicious, "Why does Mr. Ji care so much about the Lord?"
"Because he is very powerful." Ji Wugui said casually.
"Is that all? There is no other reason?" Xiao Chi continued to ask, looking at him inexplicably interesting.
Ji Wugui was puzzled, "What else could be the reason? I am not the only one in the world who wants him, I have the same purpose as others."
There was a smile on the corner of Xiao Chi's mouth, as if he knew something important, "You want him?"
Ji Wugui looked at Xiao Chi's appearance, no matter how dull he was, he knew what kind of 'wish' this was, and felt ashamed and angry, "Mr. Nothing else."
Xiao Chi was completely amused by his serious appearance, just when he wanted to tease Ji Wugui again, Young Master Jie was already in front of him, he immediately suppressed his smile, stood up, "Master."
Young Master Jie was holding a bunch of junk in his hands, all of which were unworthy ghost symbols, and he threw the burden to Xiao Chi, "Burn these unworthy things."
Xiao Chi frowned slightly, these ghostly painted talismans and those on the door were obviously made by the same person, which means that in fact, Young Master Jie came here before them, and then deliberately set a trap to lure them into the bait?And listening to his tone, could you have heard what he said?
Will this be too boring?Just now in the tavern he clearly said that he was different from them, but now it was logical to gather with them, Xiao Chi narrowed his eyes, it seemed that it was not because of him thinking too much, but because Young Master Jie was really bored, so boring that he had a kind of almost naive childishness.
Xiao Chi took the will-o'-the-wisp and burned the ghost-painted talismans clean, and then sprinkled the ashes into Xiaoman's belly. The open belly slowly closed, as if it had never been dug open.
Ji Wugui slowed down his voice, "Young Master Xiao, should you tell me what you saw?"
Xiao Chi's eyes swept away, and Ji Wugui immediately fell silent, not daring to say a word, as if his heart was hit by something suddenly.
"My lord." Xiao Chi still didn't dare to let go in front of Young Master Jie, before he got to know this person thoroughly, it's better not to tear off the disguise too early.
When Gui Su was alive, he seldom talked about Young Master Jie, only occasionally when he was drunk, Xiao Chi would make a sentence or two, but they were all nonsense to praise him. He didn't think there was anything special about it, the only thing that puzzled him was his big green robe, which he never changed every day, if it wasn't for his ugly face that he used a hat to cover his face?
That's right, all the people in the world are talking about the name of the old secretary in Tsing Yi, and no one talks about his appearance at all. I'm afraid it's just as she thought, this person is ugly.
"Master Xiao..." Ji Wugui looked at her in a daze, and hurriedly poked her with his elbow, "Zijie called you."
Xiao Chi came back to his senses, Fang Jue had behaved rudely just now, and immediately cupped his hands, "My lord, I..."
Young Master Jie turned around and tilted his head slightly, "Follow me."
The voice was neither loud nor low, but it hit Xiao Chi's heart like a stone. Ji Wugui cast a sympathetic look at Xiao Chi's back, and shook his head, "Young Master Xiao, please ask for blessings."
Xiao Chi followed Young Master Jie to the front of the house, knowing that he couldn't blame himself for that little incident just now, then he must have something to say, and he deliberately avoided Ji Wugui.
"What did you see?" Young Master Jie asked.
Xiao Chi told Young Master Jie everything he saw and heard, and then added: "My lord, should we look for Shang Jue now?"
Young Master Jie's face darkened, "Who do you think killed Jiang Li?"
Xiao Chi thought for a moment, "Shang Jue is the biggest suspect, and it may also be Xiaoman."
Young Master Jie laughed softly, "You and I don't know the specific situation at that time. The person who untied the bell had to tie it. Although the dead cannot be resurrected, we can make the dead speak."
"Yes."
But when the two returned to the house again, they were both stunned.
The ground was empty, and Ji Wugui also disappeared, only Yao'er was left on the ground sobbing.
Xiao Chi frowned, "This..."
Young Master Jie lowered his voice, "It can't go far, and without a soul, its power can't support it for too long. Take that fox with us and let's go."
Xiao Chi spread out his palm, and a sharp long sword fell into it. He put his hands together, and the blade was unsheathed, hanging in the air.
Young Master Jie jumped on easily, Xiao Chi followed, Yu Jian moved forward.
The harsh wind carved their faces like knives, and the treacherous and changeable clouds entangled in the hair. Young Master Jie stood behind Xiao Chi, and the strong wind blew off his coat and hat, revealing his face.
Long hair like black ink, long eyebrows like distant black, lips as light as water, eyes clear and innocent, slender eyelashes as thin as cicada wings, shivering in the wind, tall and tall, with a radiant glow all over her body. He has a dusty aura, not at all like someone who has dealt with the dead for a long time.
Xiao Chi looked at all sides, and didn't feel the gaze behind him at all. From time to time, the bell on Yao'er's neck rang, and the tone was chaotic. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head immediately, only to see Young Master Jie with his back to him , with one hand behind his back, his whole body exudes an unattainable indifference.
"My lord, I found it."
"Well, let's go down."
The long sword went straight down and stopped outside a cave. There were gravels everywhere, and beside it was a clear stream, surrounded by a sea of flowers, and shaded by green trees. Only the side of the cave was overgrown with weeds, which was desolate.
Just as Xiao Chi wanted to move forward, Young Master Jie stopped him, his voice was extremely low, "I won't let you stand in front of me."
"Yeah." Xiao Chi didn't hear what Young Master Jie said, and tilted his head to ask questions.
"It's nothing, I don't know what's inside, so be careful." Young Master Jie's voice was as clear as a mountain spring, not as deep as when we first met, and Xiao Chi's heart felt a warm current inexplicably.
The inside of the cave was pitch black, but when they stepped in, it lit up for the first time, the candlelight flickered, blood spread, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of withered hands appeared from nowhere and grabbed Young Master Yu's neck fiercely.
"My lord!" Xiao Chi shouted, and when he finished speaking, he exerted strength with one hand, and a cluster of red ghost fire rose from his palm, but unexpectedly, he and Yao'er were pushed out of the cave by a powerful force almost at the same time.
An extremely beautiful face was deeply imprinted in his pupils, and even the soft rolling sound seemed to lose some of the breath of an exile, and then the whole person was pushed to the ground, the pain spread to all limbs, Xiao Chi stared blankly. Seeing that the cave was covered by falling rubble, but he couldn't move.
It turned out that he had been unable to undo the acupuncture points that Young Master Jie had tapped all this time. In vain of his boast, the pain on his body was still a reminder of what happened just now.
At the last moment of life and death, Gongzi Jie pushed him out of the cave and sealed his acupuncture points so that he could not move an inch.
Could it be that Young Master Yu wants to deal with the ghost in the cave alone?
He clearly saw that thousands of red eyes and blood pupils were staring at them closely, emitting a gloomy evil light in the dark, which was the symbol of fierce ghosts.
No matter how powerful Mr. Ren is, he might not last long with his own strength, no! He must find a way to get in!
Yao'er's cultivation base is low, and he fainted with a single palm. Fortunately, Young Master Jie's strength was controlled just right, and no vital parts were hurt.
The sun became venomous, and Xiao Chi was suffering minute by minute. He tried to untie the acupuncture points by force, but all was in vain. It seems that he still underestimated this young master.
Young Master Jie was violently pulled off the ground by those withered hands, and fell onto the wall with a slight flick. The wall was cold and damp, and his wrists and ankles were quickly tied up by iron chains. Jiang Li in front of him.
"I tried my best to lure me here, maybe it's just to tie me down." Young Master Jie lowered his eyebrows and saw Ji Wugui who had passed out, and a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Li smiled towards the sky, "Why does the Tsing Yi boss even care about me, a mummy who has been dead for decades?"
Young Master Jie turned his wrist and smiled easily, "It's true that I can't control you, but if you touch someone you shouldn't touch, I can destroy your soul immediately."
Jiang Li landed on the ground, his dry fingers gently slid across Ji Wugui's cheeks, and then looked at Young Master Jie with empty eyes, as if in a demonstration.
"I don't want to do anything to you, I just want to know how your daughter died." Young Master Jie directly ignored Jiang Li's childish behavior.
Speaking of Xiaoman, Jiang Li's shoulders suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and he whimpered, "Xiaoman... Xiaoman..."
"Xiao Man is dead... I... I'm left alone..." Jiang Li cried sadly, but Young Master Jie felt that her sorrow didn't come from the bottom of her heart, and suddenly she started wailing like crazy, "No ! I have a son! I have a son!"
son
Taking advantage of Jiang Li's madness, Young Master Jie quickly broke free from the chain, took out a talisman from his sleeve, and stabbed it straight into Jiang Li's seal. In an instant, the mountains shook, flying sand rose, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
Come to think of it, this was Jiang Li's last memory before his death.
In a piece of yellow sand, Jiang Li's hands were tied by a rope, but she still tightly protected her slightly protruding belly, and a rein was tied around her neck. What was even more tragic was that her tongue was cut off by someone, but not all of it was cut off. There was still a trace of drag left, the tongue was half hanging, dripping with blood, it was horrible, even the slightest movement would involve the wound, Jiang Li's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Shang Jue in front of him with tears in his eyes.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Jiang Li could only make a sound of um, ah, and shook her head wildly. The blood stained her entire skirt, and the yellow sand rolled up her hair. She couldn't imagine what she had gone through before. What, even Young Master Jie's heart was shaken.
Shang Jue was sitting on the horseback, with the unconscious Xiaoman in his arms, holding a dagger in his hand, the blood on it was still dripping down, with a smile on his lips, he glanced at the rope tied to the horse , Clamping his legs, the horse immediately neighed and ran forward without stopping.
Jiang Li was dragged in the scorching yellow sand, his clothes were quickly torn, his entire face was forced to be buried in the yellow sand, a large piece of his tongue was rubbed off, his face was already bloody, and he could no longer utter any sound. , while Shang Jue, who was riding on horseback, laughed even more recklessly. What kind of hatred can drive a person so mad?
Just when Young Master Yu thought that Jiang Li was dying, he found that she was biting the rope with her teeth, and before that, she tried her best to bite off her own tongue.
The rope was woven of messy hemp, which was easier to deal with than the iron chain, but with Jiang Li's current state, it was likely that she would be tortured to death by Shang Jue before she bit it off.
It was like a dream, with a slight pain in his heart. Young Master Jie felt Jiang Li's pain for himself. He couldn't just sit idly by and was about to intervene when a pair of white and tender hands stopped him.
Young Master Jie took advantage of the situation to look over, and saw a gentle and pitiful face, only to hear the man smile and say, "I'm Jiang Li."
Young Master Jie remained silent, and withdrew his actions. Maybe he forcibly entered Jiang Li's memory and recalled her soul, but in this way, as long as he left, Jiang Li's seven souls and six souls would disappear immediately.
"Why?" Young Master Xuan couldn't help asking.
Jiang Li looked at the scenes he had experienced, but he could no longer feel that kind of pain in his body. There is nothing more sad than heartbreak, and what kind of cruelty is it to watch himself die with his own eyes?
"At that time, I was already pregnant and homeless." Jiang Li said lightly.
Young Master Jie suddenly looked at Jiang Li, Jiang Li was expressionless, looking at everything in front of him calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
All of a sudden, the questions in Young Master Jie's mind seemed to be answered, how Jiang Li was killed, why Ji Wugui was taken away, and why Jiang Li appeared here.
Everything suddenly became clear, only the dying Jiang Li was left in the yellow sand, his hands were still tightly protecting his lower abdomen, at this moment a figure came not far away, before Young Master Jie could see clearly, a puff of white smoke shot into the room. His sight and Jiang Li's voice echoed in his ears.
"Things of the past, future generations know will only add to the sadness, I just ask you to protect me and have no return. I am afraid that I will never be able to return this love to you. The only thing I have left is this yellow sand all over the sky." As for Xiaoman, there is nothing I can do."
"The long yellow sand rises, and the long smoke sets and the sun sees you. Shen Shang, Ah Li has done too many wrong things in his life, but the only thing I don't regret is meeting you."
"I will guard this desert well, and wait for you to come to see me again, even if it's just one."
"Wait for you to see me for the last time..."
Young Master Jie stood in the desert, a drop of crystal suddenly fell on the back of his hand, Jiang Li's smiling face flashed in front of his eyes, his eyes were full of tears, and he said three words with every frown and smile.
"I—don't—regret—"
After a dream for thousands of years, wandering on the edge of memory, Ji Wugui who just woke up has returned to Ji's house, and he doesn't know anything about what happened before. Maybe this is Jiang Li's last wish.
"Young master, you are awake, do you have any discomfort?" Chu Qi, who had been staying by the bed, smiled happily, and immediately stepped forward to check Ji Wugui.
Chuqi is Ji Wugui's guard, and he should never leave him at all, but because Ji Wugui ran away from home this time secretly, no matter how he looked around, he couldn't find it. Fortunately, he met the adult.
Ji Wugui looked bewildered and rubbed his sore forehead, "What's wrong with me?"
Before Chu Qi could speak, Xiao Chi walked in with Yao'er in his arms. As soon as Chu Qi saw the person coming, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Chu Qi has seen Mr. Red Clothes."
"En." Xiao Chi nodded, and Chu Qi bowed his head knowingly and retreated.
"On the seventh day of the lunar new year, the suzerain ordered you to fetch plum wine."
"Green plum wine is carefully brewed by the young master. Doesn't it mean that the young master can't touch it?"
"The lord in the front hall wants it. We, as subordinates, can only take orders. Let's go quickly. It seems that these two lords are not easy to mess with masters."
"Okay, I'll go get it now."
