Huangquan Roadside Inn

Just after nightfall, the inside of Qiao's residence fell into a dead silence.

Maybe it was because of the funeral, the Qiao mansion at this time was even more frightening. Thinking of the appearance of the old lady Qiao when she died, all the servants who accompanied Qiao Shu in the mourning hall trembled.

The dark wind poured into the mourning hall, and even Qiao Shu couldn't help shivering. Gradually, the mourning hall became more and more quiet, except for the burning candles and the raised white flags, there was nothing else.

A gust of wind poured into the mourning hall, and the candles of the mourning money dangled and then went out, and even the incense was broken in the middle, and the mourning hall was plunged into darkness immediately.

"Come here, light the candle." Qiao Shu called out quickly, and then stepped forward to refill the fire of incense wax. After that, let alone the mourning hall, no one even came from the entire Qiao Mansion.

Qiao Shu hurriedly turned his head to look at the dark Qiao Mansion, and his heart immediately rose to his throat. For some reason, Mei Ruhua's bleeding face appeared in his mind at this moment, and he couldn't get it off.

The more he wanted to forget, the clearer it became.

Qiao Shu's legs were trembling with fear, but he still stood up, holding the candle and lighting the lantern.

But as soon as he took a step, he slipped due to stepping on the ghost paper under his feet. Fortunately, he was quick to help Mrs. Qiao's coffin, but the coffin lid fell to the ground because of his push.

Under the candlelight, the old lady Qiao's face was pale, her eyes were wide open, and she was facing Qiao Shu in front of her with bared teeth and claws. Qiao Shu yelled and fell to the ground, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead one after another.

For no reason, Qiao Shu felt that his hands and feet were weak, and his scalp was numb. He remembered that when the old lady Qiao was put into the coffin, she had already returned to normal. Why did she look like this again now.

Compared with Mei Ruhua's appearance of bleeding from all seven orifices, the appearance of the old lady Qiao's wide-eyed eyes and bared teeth and claws made Qiao Shu feel a little lost.

"Come here... come here..." Qiao Shu called tremblingly, but no one responded after all.

In the quiet Qiao Mansion, a rope climbed up Qiao Shu's heart imperceptibly, and it was entangled round and round, densely, making his breathing even more difficult.

suddenly!

The old lady Qiao sat up from the coffin, Qiao Shu let out a scream, and wanted to escape from the mourning hall, but before he could take two steps, Mei Ruhua's bleeding face appeared in front of him again. in front of you.

Qiao Shu said that the sky should not respond, and the earth should not work.

The only ones he could remember were the two Kunlun disciples who were still living in Qiao's mansion.

"Xianjia...Xianjia save me." Qiao Shu dodged Mei Ruhua who was oncoming, but when he turned around, the old lady Qiao walked towards him with her teeth and claws stretched out.

Qiao Shu trembled all over and couldn't move at all. He could only let his neck be captured by the old lady Qiao's hands. Mei Ruhua stood in front of him, showing a strange smile:

"My heart is vicious, I don't repay my kindness, I am so miserable..."

Mei Ruhua's weird and ethereal voice was like a sharp knife, piercing Qiao Shu's heart fiercely, and slowly crushing his heart that was bound by fear.

Suddenly, a piece of red paper fell from the sky and landed in front of Qiao Shu. After seeing the handwriting on the red paper, he immediately felt short of breath and passed out.

It was written on the red paper: Respectfully to heaven and earth, Qiao Shu, who is now in Yuzhou City, married Mei Ruhua as a married couple, as evidenced by the gods.

With the marriage certificate as proof, he, Qiao Shu, and Mei Ruhua are husband and wife, which cannot be changed.

Qiao Shu had a very long dream. In the dream, his mother died, and even Mei Ruhua came looking for him, but right now it was quiet, there was no sound at all, it was quiet... …

Qiao Shu woke up from his dream, but the moment he woke up, he found that he was not in the former Mei Mansion, but in the Qiao Family Courtyard five years ago.

The old lady Qiao was not dead yet, she was talking outside, her voice was joyful and flattering, as if she was making a deal.

Qiao Shu got off the bed happily, but when he was putting on his shoes, he found a pair of embroidered shoes for women beside the bed.

Qiao Shu was surprised, but he couldn't make any sound. He looked at his hands carefully. The originally slender and tender hands were now full of scars, and they were no longer as slender as before.

It was Mei Ruhua's hand!

Qiao Shu immediately understood, his heart tightened, and fear immediately seized his heart. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't. He wanted to run away, but found that his mother walked in with a strange man.

The man smiled greedily and obscenely, and only gave Qiao's mother a piece of silver, and Qiao's mother happily went out and closed the door.

Qiao Shuduo rushed towards the door, but he didn't want to be picked up by the man and thrown on the bed.

Qiao Shu pushed and struggled, but to no avail, what he got in return was a merciless slap from the man, half of his face was in hot pain.

Qiao Shu had never suffered such humiliation, he was still struggling and wanted to escape, this was not his mother, not the Qiao's courtyard he was familiar with, nor the Mei Ruhua he was not familiar with...

The man broke into his body fiercely, shattering his last struggle...

He can't believe it, and he can't accept it...

Baixi and Mingjun stood far away on the corridor, looking indifferently at the chaotic mourning hall, until Mei Ruhua appeared in front of them, Mingjun's eyes were slightly moved.

Mei Ruhua raised her hand and handed over the marriage certificate in her hand.

Mingjun took the marriage letter and looked at it, his face was gloomy, but in a moment, a spark ignited in a corner of the marriage letter, and burned the marriage letter:

"Now that your obsession is gone, you can go to reincarnation with peace of mind."

"Thank you Mingjun for your kindness." Mei Ruhua has recovered her original appearance, her appearance is exquisite, just like her name, Mei Ruhua, beautiful and picturesque, making people unforgettable.

She kowtowed to the ground, Bai Xi hurriedly helped her up when she saw this, Mei Ruhua looked at Bai Xi, bowed again and said:

"I also want to thank Lord Baixi for trusting me and helping me."

"You're welcome, my responsibility is to help you resolve your obsessions and let you reincarnate with peace of mind." Bai Xi smiled slightly, and then said: "Now that your evil spirit has been eliminated, you are safe. Your brother is waiting for you in your embroidered building." And you, hurry up and say goodbye."

Mei Ruhua nodded vigorously, said goodbye to Mingjun and Baixi, and disappeared before their eyes.

"This matter..." Bai Xi was about to speak, but Ming Jun said:

"One life for another, this is Qiao Li's debt, and she should pay it back."

"What about Qiao Shu?" Bai Xi asked again unwillingly.

"He has his own ending." Mingjun said, and then looked at Baixi again.

When Bai Xi met Shang Mingjun's eyes, he always felt that those gazes were too strange, as if there was something to say, but it didn't seem to be, it made Bai Xi's heart tremble.

"Can you...don't look at me like that?" Bai Xi took a step back, protesting in a low voice.

"It's so beautiful, why don't you let people see it?" Mingjun said with a blank face, that sentence seemed to be blurted out without any calculation.

Now Bai Xi didn't know how to answer the words. Although Ming Jun was telling the truth, the truth always felt a bit strange.

Bai Xi turned her face away and avoided Ming Jun's sight, which made it much better.

Within two days, the story of one death and one madness in Qiao's mansion spread again in Yuzhou City, and became a gossip for everyone after dinner.

Some people said that the mother and son of the Qiao family failed Mei Ruhua, and Mei Ruhua turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge. Some people saw Mei Ruhua's ghost in Qiao's mansion that night.

Others said that it was Qiao Shu's new wife who poisoned Qiao's mother because she couldn't understand her mother-in-law's viciousness.

Anyway, there are different opinions, but it is said that the rumor that the bride killed someone spread to the capital, and the prime minister was extremely angry, and reported to the emperor what Qiao Shu had done in the capital.

Qiao Shu bribed the examiner, cheated a champion of the title, and owed nearly a thousand taels of silver for drinking wine in the flower house and so on.

The emperor was so angry that he cut off Qiao Shu's title of number one scholar, and ordered Liu Niang to reconcile with Qiao Shu, took Liu Niang back to the capital, and sealed up Mei's house.

But since then, no one dared to buy that house again, because there were rumors that the house was haunted by ghosts.

And the crazy Qiao Shu was in a daze all day long, not knowing what he was doing or where he was, until one day he fell into the river and never got up again.

By the time someone found out, he had already died...

In Huangquan Inn, after Qingyu wrote the last word in the record book, he let out a long sigh, looked at Baixi who was sitting in the main hall, and couldn't help but lean over:

"Brother Baixi, did Mingjun really not interfere that night?"

Bai Xi nodded vigorously: "The ferryman can't meddle in the affairs of mortals, and Mingjun naturally wouldn't do it either, but the mother and son of the Qiao family are too hateful, so as long as they don't meddle, that's fine."

"Speaking of which, Mei Ruhua is quite miserable." Qingyu sighed.

"She paid the price for not knowing people well, but the price was too high." Bai Xi shook her head helplessly: "But fortunately, her parents are still alive, and she has a younger brother to rely on."

"That's true." Qingyu also smiled.

"But..." Bai Xi suddenly thought of Ming Jun's words, frowned, looked at Qing Yu solemnly and said, "It's been so long, and there is still no news about Brother Bai Ci."

Qing Yu patted Bai Xi's shoulder to comfort him, "Brother Bai Ci is a good man, nothing will happen."

Although Bai Xi was worried, he could only lie to himself that it was all right, otherwise, he would have left Huangquan Inn impatiently and went to find Bai Ci.

The person of the Demon Race is hidden in the world, where should he find it, if he falls into the trap of the man in black like last time, not only fails to find Bai Ci, but also puts himself in danger, then the loss outweighs the gain.
