[Tanhua Modern] Blackening cannot always save the world

The frightening aura in the air subsided slightly, He Lang raised his head tremblingly, and looked at Lou Yi in fear. He was quite different from before, just like jade cutting through a rough coat, emitting dazzling brilliance.

It's just that Lou Yi's appearance is astonishing and frightening at the same time. His originally pitch-black eyeballs are covered with a layer of dark red, and his condensed face has no expression at all, like a god of evil, making people want to bury their eyeballs in the ground Don't dare to look at it again.But He Lang also saw a white-clothed man suddenly appearing beside him, wearing a long gown with narrow sleeves, his handsome and gentle demeanor slightly offset some of Lou Yi's sense of oppression, so he couldn't help leaning towards him.

I couldn't help but sigh when I got close to him. Sure enough, people are divided into groups, and the good-looking people are all clustered together.It's just that he was not allowed to be emotional for a while, and the female ghost who had finally stopped for a while screamed again, with a shrill cry, just like the last neighing of the autumn cicada.

He Lang felt cold, subconsciously hid behind the people around him, and then felt a little embarrassed. The person in front of him was so thin that he was still seeking shelter from him.

His entanglement didn't last long, the next second he widened his eyes, and saw Lou Yi standing in front of them, facing the flying female ghost, raised his hand and tossed lightly, the strangely shaped spear in his hand It easily penetrated the female ghost's body and firmly nailed her to the opposite wall.

Seeing this scene, He Lang tilted his nose, and couldn't help but want to scold his mother: Damn, you are so powerful, why did we just run away? ! !Didn't he get rid of this guy early?

But he can't be blamed for being cowardly, Lou Yi glanced back at him sideways, he didn't even dare to fart, so he had to flatter him a few times, then retracted.

Lou Yi turned back and took a step forward slowly, but he just took a step and was held back by someone again.He looked at the hand holding him, it was a beautiful hand, slender and delicate, with well-defined joints, every shell was neatly trimmed and round, everything was perfect except for a little lack of blood, he looked at it Looking at the owner of the hand, he was frowning, with a hint of worry in his eyes, he thought for a while and said:

"Are you going...to kill her?" He said in a sad tone.

Lou Yi raised his eyebrows, silently.

He Lang couldn't help jumping up when he heard this, and said:

"Sir, how many people has this female ghost killed? The Immortal is doing justice for the heavens. You have no right to accuse him."

But I couldn't help cursing in my heart: Is this guy sick to the Virgin Mary, and he even wants to sympathize with a ghost?Daxian really let this ghost go, so what about the people she killed before?Really, such a good-looking man actually has a sick brain, and his face was blinded for nothing!

But after he finished speaking, Lou Yi glared at him fiercely. He shrank his neck and said depressedly: It really is the age of looking at faces......

Li Xun Huan pursed his pale lips, held Lou Yi's hand tightly, and said:

"She was also forced to be helpless..."

He Lang couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

"That's right. People who murder and set fire say that they are forced to do nothing. All crimes are forced to do nothing. Why do you need the police?"

Hearing this, Li Xun Huan's fingers were about to tear Lou Yi's sleeves. He didn't speak, but coughed a few times in a muffled manner. Unexpectedly, he couldn't stop coughing, and gradually coughed until he couldn't breathe. He grabbed Lou Yi. Unconsciously, he let go of his hand, and pressed his chest instead, coughing heart-piercingly for a while.

Lou Yi panicked, quickly supported him and patted his back lightly to calm him down, and by the way, glared at He Lang who was stiff all over.

He Lang now felt that he had poked a hornet's nest, and it was over....... He didn't expect that this "holy father" was still a sick and beautiful man. He looked helplessly at Li Xunhuan's almost breathless appearance, When his cough gradually subsided, He Lang felt a little relieved, otherwise he wondered if he would be skinned and boned by the angry Lou Yi.

Lou Yi sighed, helped Li Xunhuan to sit on the only table in the room, walked up to the female ghost, and pulled out the long spear that pierced her. The female ghost fell to the ground with a muffled sound, hehehe He gasped for air, but didn't have the strength to move anymore.

"He said this guy was forced, you don't believe it." He asked He Lang.

He Lang smiled so reluctantly that he really wanted to change his words and say that he believed it, but he knew that no one would believe him.

Lou Yi sneered, turned his wrist, and picked up a delicate pattern with the sharp tip of the gun. He hugged the gun and leaned against Li Xun Huan by the table, and said calmly:

"Well, let me tell you a story."

He Lang was embarrassed, telling a story...here?

"One is not special at all, so common that there may have been countless tragedies with similar stories."

He Lang nodded awkwardly, otherwise what else could he do......

"There used to be a pair of childhood sweethearts. Although the family was poor, the two children had a very good relationship. The boy promised the girl that he would marry her in the future. He knew that the girl was stupid, and she would believe no matter what he said, so the boy knew that he should not lie to her.

He said that if he married her, he must marry her, and that he should marry her in a good manner, so he studied hard.The boy grew up to be a teenager, and when it was time for him to take the imperial examination, he had to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but he had no money to spend, so for his ambition and to fulfill their dreams, the girl bought herself to be a girl from a rich family.

Before he left, he promised repeatedly that he would marry her when he came back from high school, and if he wanted her, he would definitely wait for him to come back......"

"In the end, the boy didn't keep his promise. After he graduated from high school, he was recruited as a son-in-law in the capital?"

He Lang said helplessly, it's a bit boring, many stories end like this...or maybe the boy was not tempted, he returned home and married a girl, and then what happened, even the boy didn't have high school, gray Slip back to my hometown........

He Lang made up many versions in his brain, but each version has nothing new and is so boring......

"No," Lou Yi said sarcastically,

"The boy was in high school, and the daughter of the doctor Yushi fell in love with him at first sight at the time, and she would not marry unless he was a king. He hesitated in front of the future of the high-ranking official Houlu Kangzhuang, and no one could hesitate to be harsh. But he struggled for a long time, and finally decided to reject Yu. Shi, he still remembers the girl who has been waiting for him, the girl who sold herself so that he can study."

There was relief in He Lang's eyes. Even though the story was not new, compared to some ungrateful stories, he still liked the story of lovers getting married.

"But as soon as he struggled, the time to return home was delayed. He was late for two full months, so that when he came back, he found that he could not find his girl...Some people said that she Married, some said she was dead, and some even said that she had left home, but he didn't believe any of them, he searched for a long time, and always regretted why he didn't come back on time, he didn't find the girl in the end, because The girl really died."

"Do you want to know how the girl died?"

He Lang's complexion gradually darkened, his eyes became a little straight, and for some reason, he was aroused with a trace of sadness, so he nodded subconsciously.

Lou Yi continued:

"The family she sold herself to is a well-known sect in Jianghu, making / human skin masks for a living, and the best craftsman in the whole village is the mistress of Zhuangzi, everyone calls her Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu used to be a A very famous beauty, even after she married, rumors about her are numerous in the world, many people would pay everything, a lot of money, rare treasures, just to be her guest, only her eyes, a smile, More often than not, men go through fire and water for her.

The girl was a girl who served Mrs. Liu personally, so in the end Mrs. Liu told the boy that when the girl died, the boy finally had to believe it.

But no matter how good a beauty is, she will grow old, and what a woman of Mrs. Liu's class can't tolerate is her own aging.So she came up with a way to make a human skin mask, a mask that will never be damaged. She will grow old, but the mask will not. The craft of making it comes from a black stone, densely covered with Engraved with a cheat book that only she could see, she was ecstatic, feeling that even the heavens were looking after her, and couldn't bear to see the beauty decay.

It's just that the best human skin mask must be made of human skin, and it must be a complete face, so that there will be no flaws......"

He Lang gasped, vaguely aware of the next thing, he wanted to escape, but Lou Yi couldn't allow him to dodge, he evoked a cruel smile:

"Yes, Mrs. Liu peeled off the girl's face to make her the most perfect human skin mask. The girl is so young and fresh, her skin looks like water can be squeezed out. Mrs. Liu is almost jealous to her face every day. , Now I can peel off her face and put it on my own face, there is nothing better.

She gave her a wedding dress, saying it was her dowry, and she could wear it on the day she got married.A woman in a wedding gown is the most beautiful, so Mrs. Liu peeled off her most beautiful face when she put on the carefully tailored wedding gown.

The girl died, but she forgot that she was dead, she just remembered that she had to wait for the boy to marry her, or she didn't want to face it, because no one would marry a dead man.

She waited and waited, waiting for the news of the boy's high school, but she did not see the boy's shadow. She was not discouraged, and comforted herself that the boy must have been delayed for a while, until one day, she saw herself in the mirror... ......"

"Enough! Enough! Don't say anything..." He Lang interrupted roughly. He covered his eyes, not knowing why he lost his composure. Obviously, this was just an ordinary horror story.

Lou Yi didn't seem to hear his roar, and continued:

"She has no face, she has no face, how can her lover brother recognize her, she will scare him to death, right? She looks at herself in the mirror, only this idea is in her mind, so she needs a picture face, she thought of Mrs. Liu."

Lou Yi smiled coldly:

"Mrs. Liu peeled her face, so it's fair for her to grab hers. She has been with her for so long and has learned a lot about the craft of making/human skin masks, so she won't waste hers if she takes hers, so She killed the first person, even if it can only be regarded as revenge, but she can't go back......

She killed Mrs. Liu, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Liu's soul was attached to that stone, and gradually merged with the stone. The treasure has great magic power, and Mrs. Liu gradually influenced her by relying on that thing, asking her to help her She killed more and more, and gradually she couldn't remember why she killed, but she vaguely remembered who she was waiting for, she didn't even remember her name, but she still remembered who she was waiting for, It's just that the person she was waiting for never came, so she could only wait forever......

Do you remember her name? "

"Su Xin...Xin'er...No, no, no, I don't remember, and I'm not, how could I remember?" He Lang's eyes were frantic, and he repeated foolishly that he didn't remember.

"But you don't remember, she always remembers." Li Xun Huan coughed lightly and sighed.

He Lang looked at Li Xun Huan in a daze, and murmured:

"But that's already happened in my previous life, I don't even know...it's all over..."

Li Xun Huan showed compassion in his eyes, and said:

"But she remembers."

He Lang was stunned, slowly turned his head, and looked at the female ghost lying on the ground.

She has been crying since Lou Yi started talking. It started as a bright red blood pool, and then gradually turned into a transparent liquid. Silently, but surging tears formed a small puddle on the ground. She also looked at He Lang, looked at When he finally turned his head, she evoked an ugly smile and said with difficulty:

"He...he...he Lang...."

Her eyes were clear, but she had never been so sad before. The sadness seemed to be real, and the tears in He Lang's eyes couldn't stop falling.

He stared at her obsessively, his face was obviously ferocious and ugly, but he became familiar with it little by little in his heart, finally, he couldn't help but wept bitterly while covering his face.

Reincarnation has passed away, obviously it has passed away, why does he still remember it, why didn't he remember it earlier?

Li Xun Huan closed her eyes in pain, a girl's charming smile appeared in front of her eyes, she wrinkled her nose and said angrily:

"Brother Immortal, come and see me when He Lang marries me. I will prepare the best bamboo leaf green for you, but you can't be greedy, or I won't be able to afford it!"

.....................

He's been here for an unknown number of years, he doesn't remember when it started, it seems like he's already here.

He remembered that there was an old plum tree in the yard. Although it was dead now, the beauty of the plum blossoms on the branch had always been imprinted in his heart.He can't go out during the day, only at night, every snowy night he stands quietly under the plum tree, counting the scarlet plum petals on the branches, smelling the cold fragrance...

After a long time, he was in a trance, whether there is really plum fragrance, or just he thinks that there should be plum fragrance..... Appreciating plums should be cold, the colder the more elegant, the colder the more fragrant, who said this?What does it feel like to be cold?He has tried the feeling of the sun burning. If it is hot, then is cold the feeling he feels now?An empty sense of passing enveloped him, his body was like an endless hourglass, one end was drained and the other was replaced.He always felt as if the plum blossoms bloomed tonight, and they would thank the sun tomorrow morning, and if they thanked tomorrow, they would bloom again the day after tomorrow...

The sky is high and the land is vast, he is no different from the cool wind howling in the garden.

He was suddenly very melancholy, there should be a knife beside him, just like this one in his hand, cold and tough, plain, familiar to him like his own fingers...... But there should be more For something, he reached out his hand to his waist, but found something empty, all of a sudden, he felt even more melancholy...

He was so lonely that he almost doubted his own existence...... Until one night, a pink-faced girl with double buns and a yellow shirt and skirt appeared beside the plum tree, Opened his mouth in surprise, and called him blankly:

"Brother Immortal..."

At that moment, he was in a trance, and he really existed...

But he couldn't prevent her death, and he didn't even recognize her dead soul until the end. He couldn't stop her sin, it was his fault, it was his fault...

Lou Yi held his cold and trembling hand and said in a deep voice:

"It's not you, and there's nothing you can do."

These words can't give him much comfort, but this hand, this person inexplicably gave him a little support.He couldn't help but bury his head in the socket of his shoulder, his thin body kept shaking, tears rolled down from his eyes, soaking the fabric on Lou Yi's shoulder.

Lou Yi had a bitter mouth, he hugged his shoulder sullenly, and sighed silently.
