Hades changed my fate again gl

Chapter 82: The City of Masks

Not to mention Zhao Nianniang, but Huo Qingtong, even though she asked this sentence, she still had no idea.

Before Xiumo could speak, Zhao Nianniang took a few steps back in horror, looked at everyone warily, and said, "How is it possible? How could my husband be a woman with me? My twin pearls are with Mr. Cui, I remember Mr. Li's appearance is exactly the same as him, besides, didn't Miss Huo see it too? What we saw that day was the Cui Mansion, didn't we?"

"What we saw that day was indeed the Cui Mansion, but..." Huo Qingtong stared at Xiu Mo, she was looking down at her toes, as if she didn't want to get involved in this dispute, but her fingers were clasped in her palms. Strength can't deceive people, Huo Qingtong said calmly, "What is the truth? Xiumo tell us personally."

Xiu Mo raised her head in surprise, she was a dumb girl from birth in this life, how could she speak?Huo Qingtong squeezed her two fingers lightly, and in an instant starlight entered her throat. She looked at Zhao Nianniang, and blurted out the words in her heart, "I don't ask you to believe me, but this is really not a good place , you go, you all go!"

Xu Huachao opened his mouth in surprise, pointed at Xiumo and said, "You can talk?"

"I can talk now." Xiu Mo also murmured to herself, looking at Huo Qingtong with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, she suddenly thought of something and immediately knelt down on the cold ground, saying: "Thank you, miss, for your kindness." De, I’m unforgettable.” She kowtowed several times before turning to Zhao Nianniang and saying, “Nian’er, I’m really Lin Shuyu. Back then we made an appointment to meet in a small hut outside the barren mountain. I didn’t mean to break the appointment. There are many ghosts, and I never expected to be caught and thrown into the reincarnation well. Although I was born as a woman in this life, I still want to come here to confess to you in my heart, and you give me a chance to explain."

She spoke in a hurry, coughed a few times, looked around, but looked at Huo Qingtong and said: "Come with me first, it's not safe here."

Zhao Nianniang was heartbroken, and was taken to a small courtyard in the north of the city in a trance. After closing the door and locking it, Xiu Mo continued to tell what she had seen and heard, "This place is indeed an endless dreamland. Formation, the master of the formation said that all ghosts who pass through the barren mountains will restrain their hostility and stay with the person they want to love. I thought this was an excellent place to go, but I heard the truth that day .”

After Xiumo was reincarnated as a woman, she found this place again. She wanted to see Nianniang with a thousand words in her heart, fearing that she was no longer waiting, and also afraid that she was still waiting, so she wandered in the barren hills for three or four days, not daring to approach.That night, she thought that she would see each other sooner or later, so it would be better to cut the mess quickly, so she thought about going to the forest to hunt some wild game to bring to Nian Niang as a meeting gift, but she didn't expect that on the way back, she found that her twin pearls were missing.

It turned out that the young master of Cui Mansion in Qianxian County was worried about losing his twin pearls. He happened to pick up hers while hunting, so he brought them back to the mansion. She stayed outside Cui for several days, but she couldn't get close to Cui Er. Lord, that's why the scene of Ye Lin being rescued happened.

She thought that it would be enough to wait for an opportunity to get back her twin pearls, but unexpectedly, during the process of sneaking into Cui's mansion to search, she overheard the second grandma ordering her servants to go to the yamen to inform the news that there was a living person in the mansion. , She felt curious in her heart, so she followed secretly, and saw that the people in these yamen enshrined a mirror, enshrined it as their master, and vowed to eradicate all living people here.

After Xu Huachao heard this, he realized that the real reason why Second Grandma Cui kept her was because she wanted to catch a turtle in her urn.

"But why did she tell the yamen? Isn't the yamen here arresting evildoers? Why do they hunt down the living? And... What's the secret here that the living can't find out?" Xu Huachao pressed on every step of the way, staring Looking at Xiumo like a prey, and seeing Huo Qingtong's suspicious eyes, Fang slowed down and said, "How many secrets do you know?"

Xiu Mo sighed: "I just remember that the mirror is very strange. It told those yamen servants that if an outsider happens here, everyone will die and will never be reborn. So no matter who is a stranger, as long as you see it, you must see it." Shoot or kill."

"This is impossible." Zhao Nianniang felt unbelievable. She had lived here for so long and had never seen a mirror. She heard Xiumo say this, and she found it even more absurd, "If you are really my husband, then what about Second Master Cui? Who is it? Forget it, which one is right and which one is wrong, I will ask myself clearly."

Zhao Nianniang turned and disappeared, Xiumo hurriedly slapped her legs and said, "She will definitely be in danger with Bao'er."

Huo Qingtong stretched out her arms to block the way, looked sideways and asked Xiumo: "The government servants you mentioned, but those people we met on the mountain?"

"Miss Huo, please help us get out of here." Xiumo wanted to miss her mother anxiously, but at the same time had to beg Huo Qingtong, saying: "Everything here is fake, and everyone's memories are also fake. Yes, maybe that mirror is the only way to get out. I know that the girl is not an ordinary person. If there is a way to save everyone, please don't hurt the people here. These people, including Nian Niang, maybe they have lived for so long, and the rest of their lives will not be enough. It's just a dream."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Xu Huachao walked up quickly and said, "Are you going to help them, or should you investigate the mirror first?"

"What do you think?" Huo Qingtong looked into the distance intently, she had just lifted her foot when she heard Xu Huachao say, "What do we care about them? Life is short, why bother yourself."

"With Xiumo here, Nianniang will be fine." Huo Qingtong said lightly, and turned to Xu Huachao with a slight smile, "Do you really want me not to investigate further? Then we will be here together live on."

Xu Huachao nodded honestly, "However, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

Huo Qingtong's eyes dimmed, and she said softly: "There is no rush to investigate the case for now, but we have to go to Cui's Mansion first."

A pair of stone lions at the gate of Cui Mansion, one female and one male, are playing with the hydrangea in their front paws, guarding the house majestically.

"Look at the pair of stone lions, is there something wrong?"

Xu Huachao followed Huo Qingtong's line of sight, and said with a chuckle, "What's wrong? You're doubtful about everything now, and you don't like everything you look at."

Huo Qingtong watched Xu Hua go up the steps, and then carefully looked at the stone lion in front of him.

Generally, the male and female stone lions at the gate of the house are male on the left and female on the right. The male lion holds a hydrangea ball in his right front paw, and the female lion touches a cub in his right front paw.But the pair at the gate of Cui's mansion are completely opposite no matter their position or posture.

Huo Qingtong's eyes were fixed on Xu Huachao again, she didn't know what the guards at the gate said, and those two didn't stop her, and let her go in openly.

The sky in the west gradually glowed with a bluish white light, and tomorrow jumped, and the whole world was replaced with daylight.

"You woman is crazy?" This is the voice of Cui Erye, with a woman crying next to it, "I told you that I don't know you, why are you still stalking me? Where did the child come from? I There is only one daughter who has stayed by my side since she was a child. Go away, or I will have someone throw you out."

Xiumo's voice sounded, persuading: "Nianniang, thank you, Second Master Cui, for your kindness." She pulled Nianniang and quickly backed out, still rejoicing that she came at the right time, when suddenly she felt a chill behind her.Huo Qingtong turned around the corridor, and saw Nian Niang pulling out Xiu Mo's chest, and said gloomily: "It's all because of you, a monster, my husband doesn't recognize me! You give me back Yulang!"

Huo Qingtong rushed to catch up in one step at a time. Fortunately, Nian Niang's morality was not high. Although Xiu Mo was not seriously injured, her heart was half cold when she looked at her eyes. She looked at Nian Niang, in disbelief Touching his chest, he raised his head and said, "Nian'er, would you rather trust a face than me? He looks a bit like a Yulang."

Nianniang withdrew her hand abruptly when she heard the words, she came back to her senses and stared at Xiumo with wide eyes in panic like a child who had done something wrong. Closing her eyes, she sighed in a deep voice, "Let her go!"

Just when the Cui couple came out of the house, they were surprised when they saw Xu Huachao, and then asked in confusion: "Why is Mr. Xu here?" She looked at Xiumo in Huo Qingtong's arms, and said in wonder, "Could it be that Mr. Xu and the one just now Do you know a woman?"

During Xu Huachao's dealings with the Cui family, Huo Qingtong directly took Xiumo out of Cui's mansion, and when she returned to the small house, she asked, "If you want to save Nian Niang, tell me everything you know."

Xiumo turned sideways, turned her back to Huo Qingtong and sighed softly, her shoulders were trembling, she didn't know how long she was silent, and then said: "I also discovered this secret by accident, and I'm not even sure if it's true That way." She paused, then whispered, "I'm a little scared, can I trust you?"

"Then can I make you believe it?" Xiumo turned around and glanced at Huo Qingtong, then lay flat on the roof, and said slowly, "Do you know? All souls who cross that barren mountain by contract will be separated first It will be a while before we reunite."

Huo Qingtong listened carefully to Xiu Mo's narration, every word was like a heavy weight, weighing on her chest and unable to breathe.

Xiumo said, "I observed that during the time between crossing the barren mountain and meeting each other, the appearance and memory of these ghosts will change over time, and these changes may be all because of that mirror. Sure, but the second master Cui clearly has a face exactly like mine in the past. This is like extracting the appearance of the lover in everyone's memory, making countless human face models and then messing up and reorganizing them. Nian'er didn't Completed the contract with me, so her appearance and memory are still the same, which is why the husband Nian'er believes in is someone else."

Huo Qingtong was a little restless, she never expected that such a secret was hidden here.

"I don't blame her for not recognizing me, but all this is like an evil curse. Gradually, even I can't tell the truth from the fake."

Xiu Mo was looking at her, but suddenly seemed to be frightened, raised her body and shouted: "Miss Huo, be careful!"

Around the door was a circle of yamen servants, holding swords in their hands, standing facing the people in the room, waiting, listening for an unknown how long.

Huo Qingtong lowered her head to look at the long sword stabbed out of her body. It was the weapon she returned to Xu Huachao. The shiny blade seemed to be covered with stars.

"Tong'er, you don't believe me." The voice was so indifferent and familiar, it shocked Huo Qingtong.
