I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Xu Jiao lay calmly on the coffin board.

Zheng Zhiyu in red was standing by the river, the rows of red candles under her feet were burning to the end, almost on the verge of being extinguished, wax tears flowed slowly, and large red flowers bloomed on the soil, carrying candles The fire flickered to the woman's feet.

The woman's pale, bloodless face was staring at the river calmly, as if she was looking for the trace of the water ghost. After a while, she squatted down, and the red sleeves fell straight into the river. in the river.

In a place invisible to the naked eye, Bloody quickly submerged into the river with a gloomy ghostly aura, and quickly searched for the trace of the target according to her heart.

Zheng Zhiyu looked down at the water, and after a while, slowly turned her head to look at the direction where the coffin lid had been lifted, and said:

"This hard board is still quite comfortable to lie on? Why doesn't it come out?"

Xu Jiao's autistic state was broken, she raised her hand to support the edge of the wooden coffin, sat up while looking at the starry sky, and said suddenly: "You know what they are going to do, right?"

A little smile appeared in Zheng Zhiyu's eyes, although it looked a little gloomy at night, she looked at Xu Jiao's figure looking up at the sky, and after a long time, she slowly said:

"It's not a big deal."

"I'll take care of it, don't worry."

She didn't want Xu Jiao to know what kind of family she had.

Although Xu Jiao didn't lose out in the confrontation with the couple when she returned to the village earlier, and she didn't show any sadness after the fight, but Zheng Zhiyu knew that this person was very good at hiding her heart. To let her see the darkness.

Xu Jiao looked back at her, and after a while she replied casually: "I can't always rely on you, don't worry, I've seen people who are more disgusting than them, it's nothing."

Zheng Zhiyu hesitated for a second, but spoke anyway.

At the end of the sentence, she seemed to want to ask something else, but suddenly there was a sound of splashes being splashed on the surface of the water, Zheng Zhiyu turned her head immediately, the red blood was stripped from her sleeve by an invisible force, and turned towards the water. Where the movement came from, it turned into blood droplets with a strong suffocation and flew away.

Xu Jiao didn't feel the bad luck of sitting in the coffin. Seeing Zheng Zhiyu's actions, she thought about it for a while. This water ghost had saved her to some extent back then. It's fine to reject this unreasonable ghost, but there's no need to let him down. To the end of the soul-flying--

"How about sending him to reincarnation?"

She thought about it for a while, and felt that this was the most reasonable way not to be retaliated against, and without having to fight with the other party to the end.

From the white shadow that vaguely floated across the water just now, she could guess that this water ghost's morality must not be as good as Zheng Zhiyu's. If he faced him head-on, he would probably be beaten up like a younger brother.

Hearing her suggestion, Zheng Zhiyu felt it was funny: "You make me a fierce ghost and send a little ghost to reincarnate?"

Xu Jiao pondered for two seconds: "It wasn't you, didn't you say there was a master? In order to pretend to be in place, that person should have some standard super equipment on him. Let's wait... let's go."

Zheng Zhiyu watched her say the word "shun" in a serious manner, and the faint smile in her eyes became even more intense. She tied the water ghost trying to slip into the river with a blood thread, put it in her sleeve, and then moved towards Xu Jiao left and said casually:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xu Jiao refuses to let

Kill, then don't kill.

just.

Zheng Zhiyu looked at Xu Jiao's appearance, and reminded: "But don't have too much expectations for that fake, I can smell the evil spirit on him, which is not something a monk can have."

Xu Jiao stepped over the side of the high coffin board, went out from inside, and asked back when she landed on the ground, "En?"

Zheng Zhiyu narrowed his eyes.

As if remembering something.

After a few seconds, she finally said: "That guy is not simple, a living person has more yin energy than a dead person, either he is haunted by evil forces, or..."

Xu Jiao: "?"

Zheng Zhiyu paused for a moment, and then continued with an uneasy expression: "Either he has been with someone with profound knowledge all year round, or maybe... more than one."

Xu Jiao raised her eyebrows: "Wow."

It means that this master is at least a small boss level person?

She originally wanted to go back and settle the accounts with the Xu family couple, but now that she heard what Zheng Zhiyu said, her steps suddenly stopped, and she pondered the whole story in place.

"You said that he knew my identity before I was born. He must have calculated this and went to the Xu family, but besides the money, he also took away the ghost spirit left by the ghost king on me— —”

"Now I'm accepting the invitation of these two old guys again. In the name of helping them, although I also ask for money, there is obviously a bigger purpose behind it."

"Looking back, when I was just born, he knew that the rural people were superstitious and afraid of ghost babies, but he must have found a way to get the two of them to keep me, and he knew that they would be afraid of me and reject me, so he gave them a little favor, Let them both remember that I can bring them wealth, but when they are about to become rich, this wealth disappears."

"He wants to take advantage of the Xu family, because it is of greater use."

"He wanted me to draw out the ghost king, and if I were in a rich family that treated me well, I would not be full of resentment, I would be happy, and even if the ghost king came out, there wouldn't be much change ...But if I grew up in such a family, I would be full of resentment, and once the ghost king is born, he should complain for me, such a resentful ghost, he wants more, right?"

There are still some subtle logical flaws in this, Xu Jiao has not smoothed it out for the time being, and is not sure whether the repeated fortune is related to the opponent's behavior, but other guesses are very close.

Zheng Zhiyu also had her own thoughts, but now she didn't speak, but went to Xu Jiao's side and asked:

"Do you want the ghost king to come out?"

Xu Jiao looked up at her, and the corner of her lips raised an insignificant arc, and then fell down quickly. After a long while, she said lightly, "According to the current story development, I actually think the ghost king is very similar to you."

Although she hadn't seen Zheng Zhiyu's full strength, and didn't know how terrifying the other party was, Xu Jiao felt that way.

After all, this is fiction.

There will be many accidents and accidents in life, because the laws of the world and the laws of nature are more complicated and secretive, but the world of novels is still constructed by people after all. Even if it is close to reality, there are still many things in it that cannot be explained logically. things.

Xu Jiao thinks with herself as the protagonist from the first perspective, and all the ghosts she encounters around her are inferior to Zheng's.

Zhiyu is so strong, combined with the strange appearance of the other party and the extraordinary connection with himself, although Zheng Zhiyu has a lot of memories that he can't remember, but...

This guess seems plausible.

Moreover, the entanglement between the ghost king and his predecessor, and the encounter between her and Zheng Zhiyu in two consecutive worlds, has an indescribable feeling in it, as if it should be like this in the dark.

However, can the ghost king who has no memory face this old monk who has been dormant for more than [-] years?

Hearing Xu Jiao's words, Zheng Zhiyu raised his hand and touched her head, the emotions in his black eyes were obscure——

In fact, when I met Xu Jiao's soul just now.

The broken pictures in her mind that could not be connected together suddenly changed, and there were more scenes that had never been seen before.

But when I recalled it, I felt that those were all stories she experienced.

She saw many, many lives of her own.

For the first time, her life was very miserable, and most of her good memories were like a little warmth in the severe cold, very precious and fleeting, it was Xu Jiao who appeared in front of her and brought her into that fairyland-like place, Taught her many things, she called her "Senior Sister Xu" and respected her as her own god.

The second time, her parents left her prematurely, and she was disliked by all relatives like an inferior product, kicking her around like a ball, and in the end, her uncle and aunt's family reluctantly took her in, but used her as a nanny , it was Xu Jiao who taught her to be self-reliant and self-reliant, but unfortunately she had many thoughts that she shouldn't have.

For the third time, she didn't realize that the person she wanted the most was by her side, and when she wanted to turn back, the other person had already gone a long way...

For the fourth time, they reunited in the Continent of Miracles.

And then is now.

Every time, Xu Jiao would come into her life, as if there was some arrangement in the dark, Zheng Zhiyu always felt that she seemed to have forgotten some key link, but more important than that was...

Who is Xu Jiao?

Who am I?

Why do they seem to have known each other many, many times?

……

Seeing that Zheng Zhiyu hadn't spoken, Xu Jiao looked at her again, and found that Zheng Zhiyu seemed to be distracted. Although the eyes of the woman in red were dark and bottomless most of the time, perhaps Jiao just knows the other party's state at the moment for no reason.

Thinking that Zheng Zhiyu couldn't remember many things, Xu Jiao looked at her current expression, and suddenly asked:

"Did you remember something?"

Zheng Zhiyu came back to his senses, and did not rush to answer this question, but instead said to Xu Jiao: "I want to test the strength of that so-called master first."

Although she is a fierce ghost, Zheng Zhiyu seems to never do anything harmful. Although she will not go to the point of drawing a sword to help when the road is injustice, she hates these people who put disgusting thoughts on Xu Jiao.

She doesn't mind getting rid of this master and erasing a scourge from the world.

I also know that if a living person is haunted by such evil power, it seems that there is no major problem. There must be a ghost in it, and the conspiracy is not small.

Those who have always wanted to awaken the ghost king in the human world are all to cause disasters, and once the ghost king appears in the world, those capable guys in the underworld and the world will definitely not stand by.

What a good match.

Although Zheng Zhiyu has no memory related to the ghost king, she has seen Xu Jiao's wisdom and knows that there is an internal logic in her speculation. Since Xu Jiao said that she is likely to be, then she will do it for the time being. Get ready for this.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhiyu said: "Actually, I don't have any impression of the Ghost King, but whether I am—"

"I won't let anyone take you away."

Xu Jiao pursed her lips after hearing this extremely possessive words, and replied: "Unless I disagree, no one can take me away."

She is an independent entity, not an item.

Usually when hearing this kind of words, Zheng Zhiyu would interpret Xu Jiao's meaning as "she doesn't belong to anyone", but now for some reason, she suddenly teased:

"Then I want to snatch you away as Mrs. Yazhai, do you agree?"

Xu Jiao glanced in the direction of the village in front of her, scanned the muddy road under her feet, avoided places with many puddles, stepped on the relatively dry road, weighed her toes, and changed the topic as if nothing had happened:

"It's coming soon."

"Would you like to guess, what would the master do when he found out that the ghost king didn't show up and the water ghost was dealt with by you again?"

Zheng Zhiyu floated up, as if she had no weight, and followed Xu Jiao's direction, lying on her shoulder, and said leisurely, "Why should I guess what a bald donkey is thinking?"

"The flowers are full and the moon is full. Late-night rendezvous between orphans and widows. What a wonderful atmosphere. Don't be confused."

Xu Jiao corrected her: "It's a lonely ghost and a widow."

Others will only be scared to death when they think of this scene, so where else can they think of such amorous feelings?

Zheng Zhiyu blew into her ears, with the intention of flirting with her, but Xu Jiao's ears turned red, probably because the stimulation left in her soul hadn't faded away, so even if she blew by the river for a while, The cold wind, touching this ambiguous atmosphere again, those charms that have been suppressed with great difficulty are also easily provoked.

It's just that this appearance fell into Zheng Zhiyu's eyes, as if...

Xu Jiao has already tasted the marrow and tasted it.

She looked interesting, and deliberately followed Xu Jiao's reaction: "What's wrong with the ghost? Didn't the ghost make you happy in the same way? Can humans do the happiness I gave you just now?"

Xu Jiao: "..."

She was a little caught off guard by this colorful accent, and for a moment almost thought that the two of them were not going to fight against evil forces, but were flirting on the way to the hotel instead.

Her expression was tense, not knowing that her instinctive reaction had fallen into the eyes of the other party, she just asked lightly: "Then can you order the things in Yangjian?"

Zheng Zhiyu smiled, and misinterpreted her meaning again: "Ah, you mean you prefer the traditional method? But I think your reaction to this kind of soul fusion is more obvious? Is my understanding wrong, or... ?”

Xu Jiao stopped suddenly.

Zheng Zhiyu originally thought that what she said was too explicit to make her angry, and was about to coax her, but suddenly noticed some details that she hadn't noticed before.

The road is too quiet.

As we all know, in mountain villages, there are always many small bugs and animals that cannot be seen in cities, especially at night when many predators come and go. Walking in the mountains, listening to

It is not uncommon to see the movements of these animals.

Even many people who walk at night will panic when they hear the sound of owls.

but.

Xu Jiao and Zheng Zhiyu walked the way back, but they didn't hear anything.

What about those little animals?

Not to mention predators, there should be small bugs like crickets and cicadas, right?

Why is there no movement from the grass around me?

Xu Jiao just instinctively felt that it was not appropriate, but Zheng Zhiyu had already sensed something, and when she left her body, two blood-red drops fell from her fingertips and penetrated into the soil.

Xu Jiao quietly looked at the earthen house at the end of the road. The main house inside was still lit with faint lights. It looked no different from other people's houses, but after careful identification, she discovered——

Within the line of sight, there were no moving shadows in all the bright lights, as if everyone had fallen asleep with the lights on.

Quietly.

……

at the same time.

The bald master is touching the beads on his neck. The string of beads is very long, and the beads are thicker than a human finger. If you look carefully, you will find that every bead on the string is carved with a ferocious face. I don't know if it's a human or a beast, but they have different expressions.

The Xu family and his wife also believe in some miscellaneous things on weekdays. They know that there is such a saying in the Buddha that there is an angry-eyed King Kong, so they never pay attention to what is carved on the master's bead string.

If Zheng Zhiyu was here, he should be able to recognize it at a glance, so what kind of angry-eyed King Kong is on it?

It is clearly the appearance of evil spirits.

Moreover, this bead string has no mother beads and no pagoda, full of weirdness.

Now, a bead on his neck suddenly shone with some light, and he looked outside, his eyes seemed to pass through the wall, seeing everything that happened outside——

With a face full of flesh, his eyes narrowed, and he heard him talking to himself:

"That water ghost is actually weaker than I thought."

"What's the matter? The ghost king didn't appear... Is there something else around her? Is it a red-clothed ghost? It's okay... Although it's not very special, I happened to give my apprentice a general a few days ago, so I took her Supplements are also good."

After thinking about it for a while, he said to the couple who were trembling when they heard his words: "You two don't need to move around here, wait for me to catch that unfilial daughter back for you."

"Get rid of the dirty things on her that taught her bad, and seal her yin and yang eyes for her, and she will be your good daughter again."

Hearing that they had to face Xu Jiao again, Xu Dashu was a little dissatisfied, but they didn't want to pay more money to let the master take advantage of it, so they had to look left and right. In the end, Xu Dashu picked a thicker one from the corner, which was used to carry buckets Bian Dan, thinking that Xu Jiao's unfilial daughter would not be able to get along with him if she didn't have the help of gods and ghosts, so she nodded and said respectfully:

"That's hard work, Master."

"Master is really a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering and suffering." Xu's mother looked at Xu Dashu's attitude, and then answered.

The master nodded and took another step. He had already stepped into a black mist, passed through the wall in front of the two of them, and disappeared.

Xu Dashu hurriedly stabilized his figure with the pole in his hand, so that he could hold it.

Mother Xu "Ouch"

He yelled in horror, afraid that the master would hear and misunderstand something after a long while, so he quickly covered his mouth and looked at her husband, as if he wanted to say something but dared not speak.

Xu Dashu sighed a bit on his rather vicissitudes face, as if he was brainwashing himself, or affirming something:

"We have raised her so much, and we have never shorted her for food and drink. Now this damn girl dares to mix with those dirty things and pretend to be a ghost to scare us. She should be taught a lesson."

Xu's mother also nodded, as if she had forgotten the tragic situation that she fell in front of Xu Jiao not long ago, and said affirmatively: "Yes, I said she was a little beaten, I knew that day would come, what did I say back then?" She should be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."

……

When the two couples are encouraging each other——

outside the house.

Zheng Zhiyu found out the little ghost who had set up a maze, and just when the other party showed a sinister smile with his tongue hanging down to his chest, he directly stretched out his hand to hold the little ghost's celestial cover, and said expressionlessly:

"Aiding the tyrant to abuse, and not knowing how to repent, you deserve to die."

After hearing an extremely ear-piercing scream, the ghost turned into a puff of mist and dissipated.

The road in front of her suddenly changed, and Xu Jiao realized that she didn't know when she was walking on the road up the mountain outside the village, and not far ahead was the edge of a cliff without guardrails, and now she was standing on the driveway, if there was a car driving on this mountain road However, she may be killed without knowing it.

The people and things in the formation are really sinister.

She didn't make a sound to tell Zheng Zhiyu to stop this time, but listened to the whistling wind in her ears, and quietly stared at Zheng Zhiyu from the side. As expected, the other party's senses that were more sensitive than hers quickly detected to the point of inappropriateness.

A blinding black mist floats——

There was loud laughter from inside:

"I haven't seen such pure red clothes for a long time. Good, good, good. Before I tame the ghost king, it's also very good to temporarily use a ghost like you to make a stupa."

Before his figure appeared, Zheng Zhiyu's red dress suddenly became much more colorful, and the red seemed to bleed. Xu Jiao thought it was her own illusion at first, until she found that there was thick, Terrifying blood slowly flowed out.

At the same time, Zheng Zhiyu's black eyes also revealed a strange red light.

She said indifferently: "As a mortal, you actually want to control the power that does not belong to you, and forcefully seal up more than a hundred evil spirits in your body. Let me tell you how it looks like you are backlashing back."

As soon as the words fell, and before the man showed his figure, Zheng Zhiyu turned into a red light and rushed towards the direction of the black mist.

The people in the black mist laughed loudly: "I have seen countless ghosts in the past few decades. I admire you for your profound cultivation, but it's a pity..."

Even if Xu Jiao has yin and yang eyes, she can't see the battle clearly. She can only see the occasional red blood splatter and the torn mist. The figures of the two are hidden in it. You come and go All are fast.

But Xu Jiao was not idle either.

Standing on the safe side of the road, with her right hand behind her back, she quickly wrote the golden rune she had learned before, stroke by stroke quickly, and she was not in a hurry to push it out after writing, on the contrary Standing beside him, the golden light behind him was insignificant at first, and then flickered like a firefly.

The one that was seriously injured by Zheng Zhiyu and separated from the fat man's prayer beads only had his head left.

At first, he wanted to use this to escape from the master's control, but he smelled a very fragrant smell halfway, and touched it in a strange way, trying to swallow Xu Jiao while Zheng Zhiyu was not paying attention.

However, as soon as the grimace approached, a golden light smeared on its face——

Immediately there was a terrifying scream.

The two parties in the battle looked at Xu Jiao at the same time, and upon seeing this, the master's face suddenly changed: "How did you get..."

The words didn't come out.

The dozens of golden characters that Xu Jiao had just saved flew towards him at the same time!

Suddenly, the master was thrown face-to-face with countless body-fixing and ghost-expelling spells. No one knew how to hide, so he had to release more than a dozen evil spirits from his own string of beads. Fortunately, there was a The starving ghost with deep knowledge swallowed a dozen or so talismans in one gulp, but he also ended up with his belly burst and his soul scattered.

Xu Jiao stood there as if nothing had happened, the master was already annoyed, but how could Zheng Zhiyu let him meet Xu Jiao?

I saw the red sleeves raised, and the blood mist all over the sky rushed over again!

The master showed a stern smile, and said to the two of them: "Okay, okay, this is your own death...!"

Zheng Zhiyu's expression was more gloomy than his: "You are the one who killed yourself."

This time, the master sent out a green-clothed ghost to deal with Xu Jiao. Zheng Zhiyu's eyes widened a little, and she was at a loss for points, but she saw Xu Jiao spread out her palm, revealing the last two golden charms hidden just now.

The ghosts were close to their faces, and Xu Jiao had to move. Obviously, she was very good-natured and endured until the last moment.

The green-clothed ghost couldn't avoid it, and its grinning expression was stunned for a moment. Just as it was about to flee, the golden characters had already caught up. At the same time, Xu Jiao pulled her towards her home like a kite.

While walking, she also draws characters quickly.

Not only can he stay away from the battlefield so as not to be affected, but he can also prevent himself from becoming the master's hostage and causing trouble for Zheng Zhiyu.

……

After more than half an hour——

Sitting behind the tree, Xu Jiao saw the green woman with long hair, covering her face, sticking out her sharp nails, and coming towards her heart. Draw a character.

Even if she went to die, her expression was very calm, but somewhat unwilling.

It's a pity that I finally managed to control the ending of the book by myself, but died at the hands of a little devil.

"Don't run away?"

"It's fine if you don't run. I'm tired of chasing you too. You let me eat it obediently and become a part of me from now on. I increase my cultivation base and you are also strong. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

The green female ghost said grimly.

It's not that she doesn't know how to act and has to be reasonable, but that she really doesn't believe Xu Jiao's weakness. After all, during the chase just now, this despicable and cunning human girl threw those amulets like Budi-Lei .

Some talismans were drawn in a hurry, and inexplicably turned into burning, evil-proof spells.

She was scalded so many times that she was almost disfigured!

Now she is angry and hateful, but she dare not be easily fooled.

Xu Jiao curled her lips slowly, not minding playing with her one last time: "Okay, come here."

Green Clothed Female Ghost: "..."

To go up or not to go up, this is a

problem.

She was still hesitating, but Xu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said provocatively, "What? You're a ghost, why are you afraid of me being an ordinary person?"

The more she said this, the more the Lvyi female ghost suspected that she had hidden tricks.

One person and one ghost kept their distance from each other for several minutes.

There is only cool wind blowing in the forest.

Xu Jiao moved her fingertips, wanting to struggle, but the female ghost suddenly realized something, saw her movement, guessed that she had no characters, and immediately stretched her hand towards her heart——

The bloody hand passed through the chest.

next moment.

A scream sounded in the forest, startling many birds!

The green-clothed female ghost looked down, and found that her ghost core had been crushed. Before she could turn around, it had turned into mist and dispersed without a trace.

Xu Jiao sat with her back against the tree trunk, with one knee bent, one hand resting on it, the other hanging by her side, the sweat that had been blown by the wind fell down her chin, and her lips became a little bit a little due to excessive physical exertion. whitish.

Now, she looked up at Zheng Zhiyu who appeared, saw the much dimmer red color on the other party's body, and said in a low voice:

"You are hurt."

Zheng Zhiyu shook his head, and only said, "Sorry, let him run away."

Xu Jiao let out a breath, her hair was sticky on her face and neck, and she didn't bother to touch it, she just sat there and replied, "It's fine as long as you're fine."

Now her posture is lazy, but exudes a casual charm in it.

Neither of them spoke for a while.

After a long time, Zheng Zhiyu asked her: "I don't have the strength to stand up? Do you want me to hug you?"

Xu Jiao unexpectedly replied: "Yes."

Zheng Zhiyu, who was ready to be rejected, was stunned for a moment, then she came over and leaned over to hug Xu Jiao. There was still an unpleasant smell of blood on her body, Xu Jiao squinted her eyes, but didn't say much , let her move.

Zheng Zhiyu hugged her and walked towards home. After all, there was still a couple whose elbows were turned outward.

Hugging the warmth in her arms tightly, she teased Xu Jiao with her usual attitude as she walked: "Why are you so cooperative all of a sudden? I didn't even dare to think like this in my dream, it's so unreal."

Xu Jiao replied slowly, "Can ghosts also dream?"

Zheng Zhiyu had a whim, and told her the pictures he had seen earlier, as if they were his own dreams: "Yes, I dreamed in my dream, we have known each other many times..."

She spoke one by one, with a bit of fun in her tone, as if she didn't take it seriously.

But when Xu Jiao was hugged by her, their bodies were tightly pressed against each other, any slightest reaction would be noticed immediately, especially when Zheng Zhiyu had just experienced a fierce battle, his senses were at their most sensitive moment!

She stopped while she was talking, and looked down at Xu Jiao, her black pupils were still bottomless, but now they revealed a sharp feeling that could see through people's hearts, maybe it was a sign of unquenchable fighting spirit.

Xu Jiao heard her ask leisurely:

"Why are you so stiff all of a sudden?"
