I was stolen by a bird to be my wife

Climbing up a step, the Nangui City Witch Temple will appear in front of you.

There are five tall archways with six pillars and eleven floors, with two large characters of "Nine Songs" written on it, the top is decorated with colorful glass, and the copper bells on the eaves jingle in the wind.

Walking through the archway, there is still a long upward ladder behind, and you have to go up 49 steps to find the yellow wall and black tiles of the Witch Temple, and the vermilion gate.

This is a majestic and majestic building, but at this moment, the vermilion gate of the witch temple fell to the ground, and there were still many footprints on it. The posture of being brutally raped was no different from the smashed door in Ah Yun's yard that was kicked by Shi Qing.

Shi Qing subconsciously said: "I didn't kick this!"

Li Chaoshuang, who had closed his eyes as he said, said, "What?"

Shi Qing realized that he was too nervous, so he quickly calmed down and replied:

"Nothing, nothing."

In the pool outside the gate, clean water was flowing.

The living water and stagnant water in Huangquan, like the water of the Pearl River and the Long River, became as black as ink because of the yin energy.But in this pool, the water is still clean and clear. Under the withered lotus leaves on the edge of autumn, there are red and white fish swimming happily.

Shi Qing hadn't drank water since the empty glove yard, seeing this scene, he couldn't help feeling thirsty.

"Go in." Li Chaoshuang got off her back, patted her shoulder, and said.

Shi Qing could only withdraw his eager eyes, and walked into the witch temple with the help of the stranger who was pretending to be blind for some reason.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, she felt warm all over her body, as if stepping back from the cold winter months to the spring sunshine, the brilliant but not hot warmth enveloped her lazily.

Looking down, Shi Qing, who temporarily opened the second eyelid because she entered the ghost domain, found that her hands and feet were tailed, and strands of black air were escaping.

When the black air stopped dissipating, Shi Qing climbed up the mountain with people on his back, sweating profusely, but at the same time felt his hands and feet were cold, a ball of warm air suddenly appeared in his belly, blending with the warm wind felt by his skin, the whole person's breath The blood is alive.

Next to her, Li Chaoshuang showed no abnormalities.

In other words, his radiant clothes and gold and jade have become so visionary that others cannot see other visions.

Li Chaoshuang closed his eyes, but he still seemed to be able to see. Guessing why Shi Qing stopped at the gate, he explained: "Witch Temple is a blessed place, dispelling the Yin energy you absorbed in the ghost domain. It shouldn't be serious, right? Even in Huangquan, there won't be much yin around me."

"It's not serious, it's not serious," Shi Qing, who heard his concern, said in a panic, "It's just that I'm an ugly person, although I've heard the scholars say that the chief commanded by Qing Qi to protect Yin and Yang, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. This is what it looks like."

"Well, do storytellers still talk about these things?" Li Chaoshuang was very curious while talking, and said again, "However, the chief minister is ordered to guard against Yin and Yang, and what he envoys is not Yin and Yang."

"It's not Yin and Yang, what is that?"

While talking, the two walked slowly into the temple, passing by the National Memorial Hall of Justice and Valor first, and then the mountain ghost alongside He Bo.

The Hebo and the mountain ghosts enshrined in Nangui City are of course the Hebo of the local Long River, and the mountain ghosts of the surrounding Cen Mountains.Those who will come to pay homage to these two are usually hunters in the village and fishermen who live on the boat.

Autumn is the time when livestock and fish grow fat. Hunters and fishermen who long for a good harvest often come here to make wishes.But Shi Qing helped Li Chaoshuang pass by the two halls, and found that although the statues in the shrine glowed slightly, protecting the whole temple, the people who came to worship, and the little mother-in-law who presided over the worship, were nowhere to be seen.

The confidence aroused by the warmth all over her body suddenly vented a lot, and she just quietly listened to Li Chaoshuang say:

"Rather than controlling yin and yang, it is better to maintain balance. But balance is difficult to maintain. Wars and chaos in the world, or even just turmoil in people's hearts, will cause the balance to swing violently and give birth to many demons and ghosts."

Shi Qing remembered that this alien master once said that he had never heard of the evil god Nine Thousand Nine Lives Resenting His Mother before.

She subconsciously asked: "The world is out of balance now? Is that why such evildoers are born?"

Li Chaoshuang said: "There are so many evildoers, it must be related to the balance of heaven and earth. But such an evil god as Nine Thousand and Nine Lives Resenting His Mother is unheard of in ancient and modern times. I don't think he was born naturally."

The evil gods didn't come naturally, could they be man-made?

Shi Qing felt that Master Yiren's words were difficult to understand, but he didn't know where to start asking.

Continuing to climb the steps upward, they successively passed the worship halls of Lord Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, and Da Siming.The scene inside is the same as that in front of the temples of Longhe Hebo and Censhan Shangui—the clay statues clearly protect the entire temple in the ghost domain, but there are no people who should be hiding in it and come to worship.

...Where did the people go?

Shi Qing felt a little scared for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Just now I thought it would be safer in the witch temple, and I was thinking about whether to bring the children from the sales home."

She just murmured, but for some reason, after saying this, Shi Qing suddenly felt that the wind around her seemed to have stopped, and the chill became heavier.

They have arrived at Shao Si Ming Niangniang Hall.

Finally met the first person.

However, compared to people, the first thing that catches Shi Qing's eyes is the pool of blood under the shrine.

The chief priest of the witch temple, the kindly Po Yang who had often allowed Shi Qing to steal tributes back to the orphanage when Shi Qing was a child, fell into a pool of blood.

For more than ten years, Yang Po has maintained her double-ten appearance, she has never aged, and she is full of divine favor, but now her hair is gray, and the corners of her blood-stained mouth show old nasolabial folds.

Fortunately, her eyes are still opening and closing, and fortunately, her chest is still rising and falling.

"Mother Yang!"

Shi Qing exclaimed, wanting to quicken his pace.

Li Chaoshuang held her back, and the two of them slowed down.

But the sound of gold and jade clanking each other has already betrayed his movements.Yang Po, who was in a pool of blood, suddenly widened her eyes and saw the appearance of the person coming.

Although the eyes are closed, but the facial features!

After becoming a witch Zhu from a young witch, Po Yang went to the Three Islands and Ten Continents to visit Jiu Ge.At that time, the Chief Commander was Li Chunhui, and she and the man in front of her had [-]% similar features!

She was puzzled and shouted, "The Li family?"

Li is a common surname. As for the name of the Li family in Yingzhou, it is rarely known to the people.Shi Qing couldn't understand why, and then saw Po Yang rolled her eyes and looked at her.

Yang Po's eyes suddenly narrowed into needlepoints, and she shouted: "My lord, be careful! This is the young lady of General Shi's family, and she is the incarnation of the bitter mother of nine thousand and nine lives!"

Shi Qing didn't understand what he heard for a while, and after taking a breath, he said in surprise:

"Wait? What?"

She froze in place, staring at Yang Po first, then at Li Chaoshuang.My mind turned sharply, and I tried to plead:

"My lord, don't be fooled! How could I be—"

Before Shi Qing could finish her sentence, she felt the stopped breeze blowing again with a bone-piercing chill.

The warmth brought by the witch temple on that layer was easily broken, the green camphor tree in the courtyard in front of the temple shook, and in the shadows, countless ghosts and ghosts moved.

They emerged one by one, and they turned out to be those thin and weak girls whom Li Chaoshuang had seen not long ago at the gate of Ahun's yard.

They are no longer fair and fleshy as before, their complexion has become green and black, their arms have become dry, their hair is scattered like water plants, under the black hair like water plants, there are pairs of red eyes shining with hunger, and fangs growing out. sharp mouth.

Shi Qing seemed like a normal person, she took a step back in fright,

Only then did she realize that these little ghosts were girls from her sales home.

"How...how is it possible?!"

Shi Qing murmured, as if she had full affection for these children who got along day and night.

Yang Po seized the time and said to Li Chaoshuang: "My lord, I just came down from the ghost domain, and I fought with Jiuqianjiushengshengmu's subordinates. Although I worshiped her, I got some news by chance!

"Shi Xiong's eldest wife is the official lady he snatched. After Shi Qing was born, Shi Xiong's eldest wife wanted to strangle the child who proved her filthiness on the spot. It is said that the child died at that time, but later came back to life for some reason. come over!

"Even so, Shi Xiong's eldest lady didn't like her very much, and because he was a daughter, Shi Xiong also didn't take her seriously. When Shi Qing was six or seven years old, the eldest lady drove her down the mountain, and then she arrived The sales home in Nangui City was mixed among a bunch of girls! In the end, they led a group of children to set up a society and self-appointed themselves as the leader! Taking advantage of others' lack of defense against girls, they practiced deception in the city!

"It was after she was born that the practice of not raising children began to prevail in Nangui City. If she wasn't the incarnation of resenting mothers for nine thousand and nine lives, who else would be!"

Yang Po almost spent her life shouting such a long paragraph.And the little ghosts moved forward step by step, gradually surrounded by Shi Qing's shadow.

A three or four year old kid, just like not long ago, stretched out his hand to hold Shi Qing's fingertips.

Shi Qing wanted to retreat, to pull out his hand, but was pinned in place by the same admiration in the kid's eyes as before.

She slowly held the child's hand tightly. Not long ago, the child was running with her in Nangui City, but now it has become like this.

"Is it an illusion? Or is it real? Who killed you?" Shi Qing didn't look like the gentle facial features of ordinary women, but at this moment he looked like a real evil spirit, and his voice resonated with the yin energy emitted by the little ghosts, "Tell me, why do you It will become like this! Who made you become like this!!!”

Li Chaoshuang sighed:

"Actually, when I was in the yard, I could see that many children in the sales school were just ghosts who took advantage of the yin energy in Nangui City to show up in the daytime."

If it weren't for the fact that there are ghosts in the children in the sales house, they wouldn't be able to find the small courtyard where the little bird was hiding with a formation so easily.

Shi Qing suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Chaoshuang in disbelief.Yang Po cheered up and said:

"It turns out that my lord, you have expected it a long time ago, and you know who the incarnation of Nine Thousand Nine Lives and Resentful Mothers is in the city!"

Shi Qing took a slow beat and asked:

"What do you mean by that?!" What do you mean the children in the sales house are already ghosts!

Li Chaoshuang rubbed the corners of his eyes, and slowly said: "The strangers and ghosts are mixed together, but they are incomparably harmonious, and there is no difference. It is you, Young Lady, who keep them together in the Nursery."

Shi Qing hesitated, just about to scold something, suddenly recalled the past.

She didn't hate her mother, not now.She didn't understand when she was six years old, but now Shi Qing understands why her mother said that if Shi Qing stayed in Shi Xiong's bandit village, she couldn't help but kill Shi Qing again.

At that time, the eldest lady had accepted the fact that this child with dirty blood was also her blood, but she could not accept that her daughter would grow up to be a villain like her father in the future.

So she drove her away directly, perhaps with malicious intentions, and let the six-year-old girl wander outside to survive alone.

Fortunately, at that time, the situation of the Salesian's Home in Nangui City was not so bad. The dean of the Salesian's Home was a scholar, and accepted her regardless of her background.

Shi Qing has a new home.Since then, he has had a steady stream of brothers and sisters.

This is her only shelter, and her character is really average. In order to keep this home, she has done a lot of things by all means.

It doesn't matter, as long as we are still brothers and sisters, there is no problem.

Therefore, there are more and more children in the sales home. Although she is troubled, she just works harder to make money, food and yards.

But she didn't seem to have any doubts, even in the war-torn world, is it really possible for her to pick up so many girls without parents?

Nangui City has not been hit by war for several years. Except for those rescued from the river, there are not so many girls to pick up.

To say that they wandered here... all the way to Nangui City, they were not captured by kidnappers, beaten unconscious by robbers and ate meat?

Shi Qing was in a trance, but Yang Po came to understand, and said: "Because she is the incarnation of Nine Thousand Nine Lives Resenting Mother?"

Li Chaoshuang shook his head and said, "It's because of her 'motherly love'."

Yang Po: "Resent the mother's 'maternal love' for the child?"

Shi Qing bared her teeth, wanting to say something.

Li Chaoshuang turned her head, raised her index finger to her lips, and stopped what Shi Qing wanted to say.

Then he said: "Because of this, Qing Niangzi can never be the incarnation of Nine Thousand Nine Lives Resentful Mother."

Yang Po and Shi Qing, who still wanted to say something, were both taken aback.

Li Chaoshuang's voice was a little louder, his words echoed in the empty courtyard, among the little ghosts clustered around Shi Qing's body.

"—Nine Thousand Nine Lives and Resentful Mothers have devoured the flesh and blood of countless babies and refined the souls of thousands of babies in the past ten years, thus establishing him as an evil god. Officiant, officiant, tell me—"

As he said, he stepped into Shao Si Ming Niang Niang's hall step by step.

The pool of blood reflected Li Chaoshuang's upturned mouth like a mirror.

"—This 'mother', how can she have any love for these children who have suffered and died?"

***

"—She calls herself a complaining mother, but she didn't bear the pain of mothers killing their own children. Instead, she forced them to continue to conceive and give birth to children. She didn't have the slightest sympathy for the dead children, and only refined them into her own army of little devils."

In the general's mansion, Ah Yun finally realized what he had overlooked.

He glanced at the hysterical Sixth Madam who had undergone an abortion, no.

He glanced at the eldest lady who drowned his daughter with her own hands and closed her eyes to chant, no.

He glanced at the maidservants who were fighting and trembling with each other, no.

They hurt their daughters, and they were victimized by it.

But the complaining mother never suffered.

"She, no, not her, not the mother, not even a woman."

The young bird suddenly looked at Shi Xiong who had put on the red-tasseled helmet and raised his long knife, and pointed at the blank eyes of everyone around him:

"It's you."
