Rebirth of marriage

The kiss didn't last long. The cyan color in Gu Xiao's eyes was too obvious. He must have known what she had done and was worried about her, so he came here without rest.

Furthermore, the door is not closed, this is the mountain stronghold of the King of Hell, and she will be their new master. Xie Jiu must maintain his image as much as possible.

She called Rouge Diancui to get some water for Gu Xiao to wash up and wash away all the dust. She thanked him for the wine and asked, "Ah Xiao, why don't you take a nap first? We'll have dinner together later."

The sunset had just risen and it was now evening. Xie Jiu estimated that the King of Hell would hold a banquet to entertain them, so it was impossible to go to bed now.

Gu Xiao was indeed tired. Ever since he received the letter from the secret guard, he had been busy all night to deal with the urgent business at hand. He rode up at dawn and had not slept well for two or three days.

When he was undressing, he took out the booklet that Xie Jiu had stuffed into his arms, "This is for you."

He didn't look at it.

Xie took the wine and flipped through it. It was an ordinary folk tale.

But what was hidden extremely secretly by the prefect could not be just an ordinary book.

Xie Jiu carefully examined page after page and even roasted it on the fire without noticing anything strange. Finally, he found a thin piece of paper in the middle of the back cover.

On it were written the number of incense paper, liquor, large bowls, chickens, ducks and pigs, the direction of worship at all times, etc. On the other side were prescriptions.

Xie Jiu murmured in a low voice, "Why does it look like something a Taoist priest would use for making an altar? It is written on the same piece of paper as the prescription. Are they used together?"

"If you look at the whole book, you might be able to find something. There are many books that can hide things, why is this one the only one?" Gu Xiao, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly said.

Xie Jiu put down his book, walked to the bed and sat down, "Can't you sleep?"

"Yeah." Gu Xiao raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

Xie Jiu has experienced this feeling. His body is very tired, but his mind cannot fall asleep due to overexertion. Usually his temples will hurt badly and he feels a little bad.

She adjusted her sitting position and put her hand on Gu Xiao's temple, pressing it gently, "It might be more comfortable."

Within a few seconds, his hand was caught. Gu Xiao pulled her over, held her in his arms, and kissed her forehead, "Stop pressing it, your hands will be sore. Come and sleep with me for a while."

Xie Jiu snuggled into his arms obediently, letting his arms wrap around her.

After a while, Gu Xiao breathed evenly and long. Xie Jiu wanted to raise her eyes to look at him, but knowing that he was alert when sleeping, she was worried that she would wake him up if she moved, so she leaned against her chest and listened to his steady heartbeat. I also drifted off to sleep.

In the end, it was Gu Xiao who woke her up. As expected, King of Hell Chou sent someone to invite them to have dinner in the cottage hall.

Because the King of Hell was injured and Gu Xiao was tired from traveling for days, Su Mengjiao asked Su Mengjiao to tell the King of Hell to drink less wine.

Su Mengjiao spoke to her for the first time in so many years, and the relationship between the two finally eased. Yama Chou naturally listened to her words, and he didn't know Gu Xiao very well, so they all had a quiet dinner and dispersed. It's still early.

As soon as they dispersed here, Mo Qi took Lin Shu up the mountain.

Xie Jiu asked Gu Xiao and Yama Wangchou to go back to their rooms to rest first, while he stayed to have dinner with Lin Shu, took her to find a room to settle in, talked with her, and then returned to his room.

Gu Xiao did not sleep, but was reading the strange story. When he saw her coming, he waved to her to sit down, "In this book, there are stories about the fox fairy and the scholar, about the little fish who turned into a woman to repay his kindness, and there are stories about the fox fairy and the scholar. There are more than a dozen stories about the fate of a mandarin duck who turns into a butterfly after his death because of his love."

He pushed the book in front of Xie Jiu and pointed it out to her, "Only these few pages are slightly worn and have some wrinkles. They should be the ones he reads often. Take a look."

Xie Jiu followed the place he pointed to and looked back. This story is about a man who was born with two temperaments. The two temperaments lived completely different lives and formed two families respectively. One temperament loved his wife as much as her life. The escort is a wealthy businessman who loves hanging out in brothels.

Escorts often go out, and wealthy businessmen need to go out, so they have lived with two identities for many years without being discovered.

Until the escort's wife accidentally discovered that her husband, who was supposed to be an escort, went to a brothel. She chased him to the brothel, only to find that the man didn't know kung fu at all.

She then suspected whether her husband, who was an orphan, had a twin brother. After some investigation, she found out the truth, and the two personalities of the man had no impression of each other.

When he was a bodyguard, he didn't remember anything about the wealthy businessman, and he could only earn money by walking escorts. When he became a rich businessman, he didn't remember the kung fu he knew, and he had no power to tie a chicken.

Later in the story, there is a battle between two wives for a man.

Since the bodyguards had stronger willpower in practicing martial arts, it was the bodyguards who eventually suppressed the wealthy businessmen and occupied this body for a long time.

Xie Jiu was horrified after reading it, and couldn't help but think of what was written on the piece of paper, "Could the prefect be like this man?"

Gu Xiao shook his head, "It's unlikely. The prefect's surname is Yu and his ancestral home is Jiangnan. He passed the imperial examination and reached his current position as prefect.

His identity is different from the two identities in the story. Once he has two personalities, it is very easy to be discovered. Whether he is elected or in an official position, he is the object of everyone's attention. "

Xie Jiu quite agrees with this statement.

If it's not the prefect, it's most likely someone related to him. If it's his family, there's no need to treasure the book like that if he uses that method.

Xie Jiu thought to himself, is it possible, "Is this a way for him to manipulate others?"

"handle."

The two said in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.

Things like handles and life-saving charms need to be hidden deep in case they can be used in critical moments in the future.

The person who could save his life at the critical moment must be someone with a stronger status or ability than him. Xie Jiu's first instinct was to think of the capital.

This guess made Xie Jiu a little excited. She said, "I'll show Lin Shu the prescription."

She had just come from Lin Shu's house, she must not have slept yet.

"I'll go with you." Gu Xiao stood up and the two of them went to Lin Shu's room.

Because it was night, Gu Xiao didn't go in and waited outside the door. Xie Jiu entered the room and spread the prescription in front of Lin Shu, "Xiao Shu, maybe you can see what the effect of this prescription is?"

Lin Shu didn't ask any more questions, took the paper and read it carefully, and said in deep thought, "I have never seen this prescription, but some of the herbs in it can make people confused and make them tired and sleepy. If you need it, I can try it." Mix up the medicine and take a look."

When they met, Xie Jiu's heart jumped inexplicably. She took a breath and said, "About how long?"

"It won't be until next summer." She pointed to a place and said, "This medicinal material needs to be picked when it just grows to be used as medicine in order to be effective."

Xie Jiu was a little disappointed, thinking that Lin Shu was also coming all the way, and said hurriedly, "If you are not anxious and curious about the cause of the matter, I will explain it to you tomorrow, and you can go to bed early."

"I'm not in a hurry." Lin Shu smiled and sent the person out of the room.

She was not curious about things, but she was interested in the prescription.

Here, Xie Jiu and Gu Xiao walked into the house holding hands. Gu Xiao said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to check Prefect Yu carefully."

"Focus on his connection with the capital." Xie Jiu added.

"Okay." Gu Xiao responded, and the two entered the house. He closed the door, held her in his arms, held the back of her head and kissed her.

But Xie Jiu pushed him away hard.
