I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Xu Jiao couldn't care less about how outrageous Zheng Zhiyu's request was.

She flipped the screen of the phone lightly, and Zheng Zhiyu saw the photo on it. Zheng Zhiyu didn't know the purpose of showing her ugly bald head to herself, so she frowned slightly, a little bit apologetic with Xu Jiao say:

"At such a good moment, what are you doing to show me this unsightly person?"

Xu Jiao's throat moved.

Turn the photo back from the enlarged point, then push her mobile phone in the direction of Zheng Zhiyu, let her read the chat history on it, Zheng Zhiyu stretched out a finger, and dialed the mobile phone to the side, He didn't want to read it, but on the surface, Yu Guang still respected Xu Jiao's intentions honestly and read all the content above at a glance.

Just this one look——

She put away all those charming thoughts, took the phone away from Xu Jiao's hand, carefully read all the records just now, and then felt an unspeakable sense of absurdity.

At first, she only thought that the monk's plan for Xu Jiao was in the mountain village many years ago, and later she achieved her goal by controlling Xu Jiao's stupid parents.

The lesson given to the bald master last time was severe enough.

but.

It turned out that the other party had more things to do than she imagined, and his desire to get the ghost king was stronger than her.

Right……

How can a person who has been able to patiently plan for more than 20 years, with such delicate thoughts, be the type who only takes one step and waits to close the net?In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, this guy will do a lot of planning and preparations. This is the correct way for a scheming person to do things.

She thought it was too simple.

Now the enemy is hiding in the dark, she and Xu Jiao are in the light, Xu Jiao has been kept in the dark for the past twenty years, and what is revealed now may be just the tip of the iceberg of the fake master's countless faces, what plans the other party will use, What information they have, they know very little.

The situation is very passive.

After Zheng Zhiyu realized the five-element Damocus sword on Xu Jiao's head, her last ambiguous thoughts were dispelled, and she let Xu Jiao sweep the things she bought in a bad way to the corner of the wall and turned them into ashes. By the bed, although this posture is too weird, fortunately, both of them are used to it.

"I don't think this formation can be completed in a day or two. Last time, that old guy was ill-prepared and misjudged my strength, so I accidentally suppressed part of my cultivation. If I meet him again in his formation... …"The consequences could be disastrous.

She concealed those bad words and did not say them, but Xu Jiao already knew what she meant.

However, with insufficient information and ignorance of the ghost king, how could the two of them break the situation of the master?

Xu Jiao got down from the upper bunk, left the room softly, went outside and washed her face with cold water. In this midsummer season, there were pipes exposed to the sun, so the water just released was still warm. Fortunately, if the faucet is turned on for a while, the water inside will become refreshing again.

Zheng Zhiyu followed her back, saw her wash her face several times, and slightly bowed her back with her back turned to him, asking after a while:

"You went out to investigate this matter, how did the investigation go?"

"About the ghost king..."

Xu Jiao didn't speak too loudly after that, because the sink is next to the bathroom, and the space is semi-sealed, so there is an echo. If someone walks from the corridor, they can easily hear the sound.

Zheng Zhiyu saw that she was preoccupied. Thinking of Xu Jiao's inexplicable low-grade fever for many days before, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, and immediately told all her recent gains:

"Before I went to ask those wild ghosts in the mountains, I went all the way in the direction of Mount Tai. After all, there is Dongyue Yinsi at the bottom, which is where the underworld is. Ghosts who can wander around there without being captured probably have some skills."

"Sure enough, the ghosts in the mountains and fields on the road before asked all the questions. Along the way, I also met a newborn ghost. The resentment was so heavy that it almost implicated me... But I finally asked about the ghost king."

"I heard that the ghost king has a special soul, neither human, nor demon, nor spirit. However, he was instructed by an expert during his lifetime, and his life was barely smooth in the first half of his life. Later, he was implicated in Taoist affairs, died unexpectedly, and later became a person with a lot of resentment. Ghost."

"The underworld didn't accept her, because an official sent her to cross the bridge of Naihe because she had been dealt with before. After her grievances dissipated, she was detained in the underworld. Everything went well at first, but then I didn't know that she was in the underworld. What have you experienced, that you led the evil spirits, came up from the eighteenth floor of hell, made a mess of the underworld, and went to the human world."

"Some people say that she wants to find her lover to cross the bridge of Naihe together after she wakes up. Some people say that she wants to take revenge because she has an enemy in the world... Combined with what the bald-headed ghost king's wife said, I guess she wants to To find the reincarnation of her lover."

"And she was able to go out so persistently, maybe it's because she left some mark on your body, you always have a low fever now, dreaming about the past, I guess it's about leaving your soul... I guess, it is Because she wants to find you."

Speaking of the latter, Zheng Zhiyu's words were slightly awkward.

Listen carefully, the words still have a sour taste.

Xu Jiao shook her head, "No."

She thought of the dream last night. In the dream, she was a human being, but she had a fox tail. Combined with what "Zheng Zhiyu" said in the dream, thinking about it now, her original guess was wrong.

The ghost king is not Zheng Zhiyu.

is her.

It was Xu Jiao's previous life.

How did she change from such a legendary existence to the ordinary human being she is now?And Zheng Zhiyu, who was originally on the road of cultivating immortals and should be heading towards a bright future, turned into this very confusing red-clothed ghost?

There were still dripping drops of water hanging on Xu Jiao's face, some transparent water droplets hung on her eyelashes, fell into her eyes again, overflowed by her inadvertent blinking movements, and fell like tears Lose.

Her appearance is a little dusty, I don't know if it's because she has been with Zheng Zhiyu for a long time recently, or because she is not in good health and always has a low fever, her face is a little pale, and now the dripping of water drops, it's down to her A sense of delusion-like weakness.

It reminded Zheng Zhiyu of when she was on the bed.

As soon as he changed his usual sneering manner, he became anxious, panted in a low voice, and uttered those begging words in a soft, hoarse voice, as if he had lost all reason.

It took a while for Zheng Zhiyu to realize what Xu Jiao said just now: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Xu Jiao opened her mouth to tell her dream, but the words just reached her lips. She thought of her recent state and the arrangement of the monk, but she couldn't be sure whether the dream was true or not, or whether it was affected by some external factors.

Even intuition is hard to believe.

In the end, Xu Jiao pursed her lips, looked at Zheng Zhiyu and said, "No... I was just thinking, since I don't know about this ghost king, why don't we take the initiative?"

"That person set up such a morally harmful formation in our school, and what he did was immoral. Whether it was for my own safety or the safety of the school's teachers and students, it was a good thing for everyone except him."

"It's not too late to deal with him, regardless of the abnormal situation. If we can solve all the problems at once, we will take advantage. If I solve him, I will still have a low-grade fever. When the time comes, I will find a way, and there will be time."

"If we do it now, we won't lose anything. It's not good to just sit and wait."

Zheng Zhiyu thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xu Jiao said was very reasonable, so she said to her: "I see that you learned the talisman very quickly last time, it should be because you are talented in this area. On the way back, I stopped by a few I searched through the shop that sells items from the underworld, and found a few more powerful talismans and brought them back, you can take a look and prepare early."

Xu Jiao nodded, shook the water drops in her hands, and went with her to the window at the end of the corridor, so that the voice of her voice would spread out and not circle back in the corridor.

Following the movement of the two of them, Zheng Zhiyu took out the talismans from his sleeves. The talismans were made of ordinary yellow paper with bright red cinnabar written on them. They looked ordinary, but followed Zheng Zhiyu's movements. , There was a strange whistling sound from the part of the yellow paper that was in contact with her.

At the same time, layers of black air appeared on Zheng Zhiyu's fingertips touching the paper.

It seemed that he was calmly using Yin Qi to fight against the power on the paper.

This is because Zheng Zhiyu didn't approach him maliciously.

She quickly handed the things to Xu Jiao. When Xu Jiao saw the characters on it clearly, she found that the cinnabar was much darker in color, and there were traces of fire on the edge of the yellow paper. How hard it is to bring it back.

Just like...

It's like a person walking towards home with four or five large durians in his arms.

This requires a kind of perseverance.

Xu Jiao felt a little soft in her heart. Although she couldn't see anything on her face, she knew that she had softened her heart to this guy in front of her again. She took the talisman paper and asked Zheng Zhiyu aloud:

"You are a ghost, why are you so professional about these things that collect ghosts?"

Zheng Zhiyu said a cold joke: "Maybe it's because when I first became a ghost, I always touched them, and I was beaten a lot, and my ability to appreciate the quality of sticks has also made a qualitative leap?"

Xu Jiao: "..."

Zheng Zhiyu saw that she was speechless, raised his hand and touched her head, and said casually: "I'm kidding, I don't remember after I said it."

Xu Jiao looked down at the talismans again.

she thinks.

Zheng Zhiyu knew, maybe it was because she was very good at these things when she was alive...

I learned quickly because the original body in the previous life was taught by Zheng Zhiyu.

Thinking about it this way, that dream was somewhat believable.

Zheng Zhiyu saw her thinking, and couldn't help but be concerned: "What's wrong? Did you think of something again?"

Xu Jiao shook her head. Without conclusive evidence, she didn't dare to mislead this guess by speaking out——

But she was silent.

There was no chance to speak again.

That night.

Xu Jiao's soul was pulled out of her body.

Zheng Zhiyu was originally by her side, and it stands to reason that he should have reacted immediately, but the invisible force was moving so fast that he couldn't even keep up with her speed!

……

the other side.

Under the moonlight, a shiny bald head moved. The person who was meditating opened his eyes, touched the red bead string around his neck, sneered, and said to the apprentice who came over:

"After waiting for so long, it's time to collect the second net."
