Chapter 8: The Hidden Truth
Looking towards the center of the street again, I saw the grand scene of the night walk of the hundred ghosts, and the feet were soft, and they were able to hold on to the wall on the side, so they did not fall.
It's okay to have one or two ghosts, and I can accept it, but what kind of day is today? It's really unlucky that such a rare grand occasion as a hundred ghosts can be bumped into by themselves!
Suddenly, green smoke swirled around, and I saw a hundred ghosts stepping on the green smoke. They were all dressed differently, tall, short, fat and thin, and the only thing they had in common was that they were all ugly, all disgusting, and even, one uglier than the other, one more disgusting than the other.
Among them, there were many five horses who died in dismemberment, and their bodies were divided into multiple pieces, and although they were separated, their limbs walked next to their bodies. Blood spilled from the disconnected place, and from time to time, a ghost stepped forward and stepped on it, and the blood immediately splashed on the faces of the other ghosts beside him. Those who are splashed with blood are not only not disgusted, but also lick the blood splashed on their bodies.
There is no shortage of hanged people, their tongues sticking out of their mouths, their eyes are like dead fish eyes, and there is no flesh on their faces except for their eyes. Her eyes were stunned, as if they were dead things, and if it weren't for the fact that there were thumb-sized maggots coming in and out of there from time to time, I really thought that her eyes were decorations. Dressed in white, under the white clothes is not flesh and blood, but white bones, walking "crunch, crunch, crunch!", the crisp voice is particularly abrupt in such a night, and the bones are about to crack.
......
I couldn't stand it anymore, and my mind was racing to think of a way to get out of here immediately. I wished the demons hadn't noticed me, but when I saw them coming at me in droves, I knew that hope was lost.
What to do?
By the way, ghosts below a hundred years of cultivation can't get close to me at all!
I hurriedly endured the nausea in my heart and the fear that crept up in my heart little by little to look at the group of ghosts, and after spending a huge amount of energy going through them one by one, I calculated that there were forty-eight ghosts with less than a hundred years of cultivation, and fifty-two ghosts with more than a hundred years of cultivation.
This is not good at all! More than half of the ghosts who have practiced for a hundred years have been cultivated, and I can't solve any of them without the slightest cultivation!
Seeing them approaching me one by one and stopping in front of me, I was sweating in a hurry, but there was nothing I could do.
The smell of decay rushes to my nose, and after three years, I'm still not used to the smell of ghosts, it's too bad.
"Hey!"
"Ahh
I tried to negotiate with them, but as soon as I shouted "Hey", the hanged man's tongue was thrown at me, and it was wrapped around my neck with a thick smell of blood.
Her cultivation is more than a hundred years, and it seems that I am going to die.
Also, ghosts are ghosts, and they have long been inhumane, so how can they listen to me?
The tongue on my neck became tighter and tighter, I seemed to have smelled the smell of death, the lack of oxygen began to occur between my noses, and the feeling of suffocation made me feel that the meridians of my whole body seemed to be congested, broken, and my face was swollen and uncomfortable.
My mouth opened subconsciously, and my tongue wanted to stick out, so that I didn't want to die as long as the tongue of this hanged man, I tried to stick my tongue back out, but I was choked, and my breath was blocked between the upper Adam's apple and the lower throat, and it was very painful.
My tears were pouring out of my eyes, and it was really worse than death.
It turned out that it was so painful to be strangled, it was better for me to bite my tongue and kill myself.
I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes fiercely, put my tongue between my upper and lower teeth, secretly exerted, and said silently in my heart: "Goodbye, this strange world, I really wish I had never been." ”
"Don't be rampant!"
As soon as my teeth bit my tongue and I was about to do the final finish, I noticed that the tongue that was holding my neck was instantly withdrawn. I immediately gasped for air, breathing in the air of decay and blood, as if I was alive again.
At this time, I don't feel the smell of rot and blood anymore.
When he looked up, he saw that Xuan Shitian had split the hanged ghost in half with a sword, turning into a pool of blood on the spot. His actions alarmed the hundred ghosts, and they pounced on them one by one. Xuan Shitian was not afraid, his dark eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and with a sword in his hand, he slashed all the demons in the world.
A moment later, all that remained on the ground were the stumps of the hundred ghosts and pools of thick, filthy blood.
I was still terrified from the beginning to the end. Seeing that Xuan Shitian collected the sword and walked towards me, I didn't know what to say for a while.
This is the second time he has saved me.
We went back to the inn together, and after seeing that the innkeeper was very enthusiastic about him, and inadvertently said something about it, I realized that the money I had stayed in the inn for the past three years had been paid to the shopkeeper in ten days. Moreover, in addition to this, every time I want to be in danger, it is also the first time that Xuan Shitian appears to help me, which is why the ghosts who have practiced for more than 100 years can kill me after seeing me, but they die violently in front of me for no reason. The reason for their violent death is related to Xuan Shitian.
Because when he was in Xuanfu, he stopped Xuanying from speaking several times, and I don't believe him anymore. However, when I think that I have been receiving his favor for three years, and secretly protected by him, it is difficult for me to treat him coldly.
The shopkeeper brought food for the two of us, because I had just experienced the matter of a hundred ghosts, I saw such a delicious food in front of me, but I didn't want to move the chopsticks.
I could have eaten nothing of it, but since I live in an inn and interact with people a lot, if I behave too differently, I'm afraid that others will be disgusted with me. So, since I lived in this inn, I have slowly learned to eat.
Xuan Shitian seemed to be hungry, ate for a while, put down his chopsticks, looked at me and asked, "Zhixiao, why did you leave Xuanfu without saying hello?"
Since he asked him so directly, I didn't hide it from him.
"Xuan Shitian, I don't believe you anymore! I am afraid that what Xuan Yan told me is only the tip of the iceberg, and you must have a lot of secrets that you have not told me! Every time Xuan Ying wants to tell the truth, you stop her, do you really think that I can't see anything? Xuan Shitian, you keep saying that you want to protect me! Yes! You are very competent in this regard. In the past three years, I have not only received your favor, but I have also been secretly protected by you for so long, I am grateful for what you have done, and I will find a way to repay you. However, I hope that you will not do such things again in the future. ”
"It is my mission to protect you, and I was born with such a mission. After a pause, Xuan Shitian said: "Zhixiao, how do I think you seem to have changed." ”
"Yes, I have changed, I have changed from the moment I left the Xuan family. I'm no longer the innocent little girl. I don't know what your purpose is, but I instinctively feel that you can't believe it anymore. Tomorrow I will leave here, and please stop protecting me in the shadows and giving me favors. ”
