I just want to be a quiet man

The wounds on his body are also beginning to recover rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, before he could think about the scene he saw just now, the system continued to control his body and walked towards the hanger.

On the hanger, hung the mask he saw when he woke up for the first time, the system raised his hand to take it off, and put it on his face again.

The two masks blended together naturally, as if they were in perfect harmony.

Pei Ling immediately felt that his cultivation had recovered a bit, but he was still at the level of Qi training stage.

Next, under the control of the system, he walked towards the door.

Chapter 69: Teach you to be a ghost.

The ancient trees are lush with branches and leaves, and the canopy is like a cover. Looking at it in the night, it looks like continuous mountains, which are uneven and steep.

A lantern hangs high on the branch, drifting back and forth with the night wind, casting long and short shadows.

Scattered shadows sway and whirl, like many ghosts and monsters, crowding the courtyard.

Under the lamp, an ancient well with worn out handwriting stood quietly.

"Tread, step, step..."

Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, a figure flashed out of the Moon Cave Gate, slim and slender, with fluttering clothes and a dignified demeanor, but at the moment it seemed a little hasty.

The gorgeous skirt quickly brushed over the fallen leaves all over the ground, bringing up a small gust of wind, quickly rolling up the leaves, hovering in front of its feet, fluttering one after another.

Looking up along the curvaceous figure, you can see the tight waist, high chest, and slender white neck. At the end, there is a mask as smooth as a mirror. Covered tightly.

The woman's wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, her long hair was scattered like a waterfall, flying with the wind, she hurriedly walked, and looked back from time to time, she was the pink bride who was avoiding the chasing of the maid.

After she entered the courtyard, she didn't stop at all. She wanted to walk through and continue to hide, but she glanced over the well fence and stopped immediately.

Last night, she hid at the bottom of this well and escaped from the servant girl's pursuit!

Although it is very difficult to climb up from the well, but right now, they don't care about it.

Thinking of this, the pink bride immediately walked to the edge of the well in three steps at a time. She lifted the hem of the intricate and elegant skirt, straddled to the edge of the well, and jumped down.

"thump!"

The dark well water splashed high and slapped on the surrounding well walls.

"Wow, wow, wow."

The water surface was turbulent for a while before gradually returning to its original calm.

As soon as the pink bride fell into the water, she immediately felt a biting cold, and the chill lingered and eroded, as if it could soak into her bones.

She shivered involuntarily. Just as she stabilized her figure, a cold voice came to her ears: "Miss, where are you?"

"Miss……"

"Miss... where are you..."

Without any hesitation, the pink bride immediately sank her whole body into the water.

"Miss... miss... where are you... where are you..."

Accompanied by the rustling of fallen leaves being crushed, the servant girl's voice came closer and closer.

Soon, a rotten head stuck out from the mouth of the old well: "Miss, where are you?"

The cold call echoed back and forth between the walls of the well.

As soon as the words fell, pieces of rotten minced meat and dirty blood dripped directly into the well.

"Bada", "Bada"...

The flesh and blood swelled in the well water, and the stench quickly permeated.

The servant girl was lying on the mouth of the well, showing no intention of leaving. After a while, the corner of her mouth, which was half rotten, suddenly revealed a weird and hideous smile: "Miss, so you are here!"

Before Pink Bride could react, in the next moment, a sticky and rotten hand quickly passed through the well, and forcibly took off the mask on her face.

The pink bride's complexion changed, but she saw that the rotten maid had already appeared in the well, suspended in front of her!

The servant girl put the mask on her face, and in an instant, her body returned to its original state, white and slim, full of youth, and full of vitality that was hard to hide.

The rotten smell before seemed to be just an illusion.

She slowly raised her masked face, stared at the pink bride with cold eyes through the mask, and said faintly: "Miss, I found you!"

Before she finished speaking, the servant girl stretched out her pink arm like a lotus root, and grabbed the pink bride by the throat!

Without the slightest resistance, the pink bride was immediately pushed to the bottom of the well by an incomparably powerful force, and her cheeks fell directly into the sand.

The strong suffocation subsided in an instant, and the breath of death swept across her. She struggled desperately, but the servant girl's strength grew stronger and stronger.

Gradually, a fleeting memory emerged in her mind...

In front of the ancient altar covered with layers and layers of mottled blood stains, he was dressed in a splendid attire, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens, and was drawing out a bright dagger little by little with the catkins that were intricately stained with the juice of the impatiens.

The dagger shone coldly, and its edge was like a mirror, reflecting her interested eyes, as well as the maid on the altar who was tied up and pleading with frightened eyes.

"Tread, step, step..."

The pleated skirt of tan-colored crepe embroidered with acacia flowers swayed slightly, revealing the scarlet sheepskin boots with pinched Jinrui cloud pattern underneath, accompanied by the slight sound of footsteps, stepping on the floor tiles carved with twining lotus flowers, she walked around the altar in a leisurely manner Walk slowly.

Every step seemed to be stepping on the apex of the servant girl's heart.

Seeing the servant girl's expression became more and more terrified, and even her whole body went limp, a chuckle came out.

Immediately afterwards, the slender white and tender bare hands stabbed the dagger firmly into the servant girl's chin, and then, with an upward stroke, evenly cut her face in half.

Blood oozes out quickly and spreads along the wound.

The dagger moved deftly, and the white human skin was forcibly peeled off. Amidst the extremely shrill screams, the flesh and blood that twitched from time to time were gradually exposed...

The golden wind swayed the branches and leaves, and yellow flowers flew all over the sky.

In the slight frost, Xueliang's dagger suddenly slipped from his sleeve and fell to the bottom of the well.

"Boom."

The sound of things entering the water echoed between the walls of the well, the sparkling light flickered slowly, and it was as quiet as before.

... The pink bride suddenly came back to her senses, she didn't have time to think about it, she was still scratching the maid's arm desperately with one hand, and quickly rubbed it in the mud and sand with the other hand.

Soon, her fingertips touched the handle of the dagger, and without any hesitation, she immediately grabbed the dagger that fell into the bottom of the well in her memory, and stabbed the maid's neck fiercely!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The servant girl let out a high-pitched and shrill scream. At the same time, she loosened the strength in her hand, and the pink bride broke free again. She kicked off the wall of the well, surfaced, and climbed up the well.

The moss on the well wall is thick and layered, sticky and slippery, which is extremely difficult for climbing.But this time, the pink bride jumped out of the well with only a little force, and stood firmly on the shore.

Looking at the ancient trees, lanterns, and courtyard in front of her, the pink bride was slightly taken aback, only to realize that she had recovered her strength at the stage of Qi training!

The servant girl's cold voice came from the well again, accompanied by the sound of "crash" when the well water was stirred: "Miss, don't run away!"

Before the words were finished, seemingly endless strands of hair quickly spread out of the well. Looking at it under the dim light, it looked like the water in the well was soaring.

The hair kept wriggling, and soon, the figure of the servant girl was revealed.

The pink bride stood there, motionless, with no intention of continuing to run away. She slowly raised the dagger in her hand and said with a smile, "I'll teach you how to be a ghost!"

Chapter 70: Strange memories.

There are dense bamboos and thousands of leaves.

The whirling branches and leaves reflected on the window lattice, and under the dim yellow lamp, "Yu" was holding a piece of peach blossom paper with a gloomy expression, staring at it by himself.

On the peach blossom paper, each name is recorded in teeny lowercase letters, and there are a few words behind it.

This is the clue he inquired from the guard during the day.

Now in this vast Xiao mansion, the real blood of the Xiao family is only Xiao Shou, the master of the Xiao family, Xiao Xiang'e, the young lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Zheng, the young master, and his body, Xiao Meng.

Originally, there were still some servant girls and servants in the mansion, but every once in a while, some servants would disappear mysteriously and their whereabouts were unknown.

According to the guard, in order to protect his three children, Mr. Xiao specially hired someone with high martial arts skills from afar to act as a guard.

However, according to the rules set by Master Xiao, they only wandered around the mansion during the daytime to protect the blood of the Xiao family.

As soon as the sun went down, he had to leave and was not allowed to spend the night at Xiao's house.

In addition, Xiao Meng, Xiao Zheng, and Xiao Xiang'e are not in the same order, and the guards still don't know who is the first young master and who is the second young master...

Although all kinds of circumstances are suspicious, because the wages paid by the Xiao family are extremely high, even though the guards feel strange, they never ask the bottom line, but follow Master Xiao's instructions very well.

Right now, on this piece of peach blossom paper, the names of all the living people in the Xiao Mansion are written.

There are only ten of these names in total.

The first four are Xiao Shou, Xiao Zheng, Xiao Xiang'e, Xiao Meng... and the next four are all guards' names.

Looking at the list, "Yu" shook his head slightly.

"The sacrifice that he wants must at least be a fresh living person."

"The Xiao family has already posted the notice to recruit maidservants, and has also managed the dental shop, ordering them to quickly purchase poor maidservants who can serve as maidservants."

"But ants are greedy for life, so it's hard to say when they will be able to recruit new maids."

"The present sacrifice can only be selected from these guards or the Xiao family."

Thinking of this, "Yu" carefully put away the peach blossom paper, and pondered slightly.

Now there are four people in the blood of the Xiao family, and his body is one of them.

Apart from him, that Master Xiao must have been arranged by the "curse", and the rest of Xiao Xiang'e and Xiao Zheng are likely to be the successors of the pink bride and the "curse".

As for the greedy slave he brought, he should not be qualified...

"Squeak."

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

When the sound of bamboo sounds came in, there was a burst of subtle footsteps.

Soon, a girl dressed as a maid and wearing a smooth mirror mask, holding a food box, turned the screen and walked into the room.

After seeing "Yu", she immediately bowed her knees and saluted, and said respectfully: "Master, the chef has prepared supper, and the servant girl has brought it for you."

As she spoke, she walked to the round table not far away, put the food box on the table, and carefully opened the lid.

A burst of tempting fragrance suddenly diffused out.

I saw the maid taking out the dishes one by one, stir-fried gardenia, wild bamboo shoots, roasted pork, honey sauce, deer head soup, shredded chicken white fungus, fried quail, grilled fish lips...

There is also a pot of warm osmanthus wine.

"Yu" sat on a chair, motionless, watching this scene silently, with a gloomy and gloomy expression.

There should be no maids in the Xiao family now!

However, he hadn't eaten for a whole day, and his mortal body was very fragile.Right now he has obviously felt that his body is starting to be sluggish.

If he didn't eat anymore, he might not be able to prepare the sacrifice at all.

Thinking of this, "Yu" said in a low voice: "Taste all the wine and food."

The maidservant who was fiddling with the bowls and chopsticks paused for a while, obviously surprised.

But considering that it was the young master's order, she didn't ask the reason, and immediately said: "Yes!"

So, the servant girl picked up the tooth chopsticks, and quickly ate all the dishes between them. Then, under the watchful eyes of "Yu", she poured out a small cup of wine, covered her face with her sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp. .

Then he put down the wine cup, looked at "Yu", and said hesitantly, "Master, is this okay?"

"Yu" nodded slightly.

The servant girl immediately blessed her, and stepped aside respectfully, waiting for the young master to finish eating before cleaning up.

However, "Yu" still sat where he was, without moving at all.

He waited quietly. After waiting for half an hour, he saw that the maid was fine, so he got up, picked up the tooth chopsticks that the maid had just used, and started to eat with the bowl she used. stand up.

The food and wine entered the stomach, and a sense of warmth rose immediately.

"Yu" obviously felt that his energy and physical strength began to increase rapidly.

As he ate and ate, an extremely strange memory gradually emerged in his mind...
