After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

There was silence in the hall.

After a long time, He Wanbai murmured: "No, it's impossible...how could such a powerful person die?" She spoke faster and faster, staring at Chu Banyang, "Who are you? You How do you know this, are you trying to lie to us?!"

More and more blood and tears poured out of her eyes, making her face paler and paler.

This ghost's temper is quite moody, and he can be very happy or angry in an instant.

Seeing that she was still talking well one second, and was about to pounce on Chu Banyang the next, Lu Yingjiu threw out the talisman paper!

The talisman lightly stuck to the female ghost's forehead again, freezing her movements.

He Wanbai could only stare at Chu Banyang viciously, but couldn't move, and said: "I hate liars like you the most! Everyone is dishonest! Everyone is full of lies! As for the evidence, I want to see it." To the evidence!"

Chu Banyang remained unmoved.

He patted his shoulder unhurriedly, and swept away the grass foam from climbing the mountain to ensure that the image was perfect, before he said: "There is no evidence, even if there is, I have no obligation to show it to the ghosts. Believe it or not Up to you, but I was at his funeral in person."

He paused, and added: "That's 14 years ago."

He Wan Bai was stunned for a moment.

Her mouth opened and closed silently a few times, but no sound came out.

Chu Banyang said to her: "So your obsession is unrealistic and impossible to realize. Either you obediently dissipate by yourself, or I can only help you."

I don't know if it's Lu Yingjiu's illusion, but he feels that Chu Banyang's mood is extremely bad now.

The female ghost was still speechless.

She stared blankly at Chu Banyang.

For some reason, her agitated mood suddenly calmed down, and she returned to the slightly gentle expression she had when talking with Lu Yingjiu.

After a long time, she suddenly said, "You look a bit like him...like Chu Qianju."

Chu Banyang: "..."

Chu Banyang said: "We are all from the Chu family, of course there are similarities. You don't have to find comfort from this kind of place."

He Wan Bai's eyes were dim.

She said, "Where was Chu Qianju finally buried?"

"A place far away." Chu Banyang said, "According to his last wish, half of the ashes were scattered in the deep forest and half in the sea. You can't stay too far away from the object of obsession, and you must not be able to see it." .”

"...Well." He Wanbai nodded, "I know, I know. Do you still have his photo, or anything else? Let me take a look at him again."

Chu Banyang then took out his wallet and took out a photo from the inside.

Lu Yingjiu raised her eyebrows——

He didn't expect that Chu Banyang would put Chu Qianju's photo in his wallet and carry it with him.It seems that the connection between them may be closer than imagined.

He had accidentally opened Jing Xian's wallet before.

There is a lot of money in it.

More than money is his picture, I can't wait to fill my wallet full.If passers-by picked it up, they would definitely think Jing Xian is a pervert.

Chu Banyang turned the photo around and showed it to He Wanbai.

Old photos are slightly faded.

Above, the two stood side by side under an old banyan tree.

The man has a handsome face.His face was expressionless, with a faint indifference on his brows, as if he didn't care about anything.

His hand rests on the shoulder of a small child.

Judging from the child's facial features, he was Chu Banyang when he was a child, resembling his appearance in junior high school.

Chu Banyang has always been aloof when taking pictures since he was a child. Coupled with Chu Qianju's indifference, the effect of this photo is not very good. It doesn't capture the joy and harmony between the two, but it looks like a passport photo.

He Wan Bai stared at the photo for a long time.

She said: "...I see." She paused, "I have one last question, how did Chu Qianju die?"

"No comment." Chu Banyang said.

He Wanbai was speechless.

Like a balloon, her wish was punctured by a needle, and she suddenly became depressed, as if she had lost all her strength.

She said: "Then...then I know the situation. Let me go and see the place where I died, and then I will tell you where my obsession is." She smiled sadly, "I'll just say , Xiao Chu shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't keep his promise. But now, I'd rather he just broke the appointment."

Chu Banyang took back the photo and said calmly, "Everyone has their own destiny. Sometimes the people you think are important are just passing by."

After speaking, he glanced at Lu Yingjiu.

Those eyes are like sunlight passing through the water surface and glass, shining, but very tortuous... really very tortuous.

……

After half an hour.

The four of them, one ghost, stood beside a pile of sundries in the corner of the village.

The villagers who were attacked in Xitang have been taken away by ambulance.With such a move, the villagers fled and hid. There was no one on the huge road, which made it easier for them to move.

There is something under the sundries, with a burst of yin, but it is tightly covered by the steel, wooden boxes, furniture and other things above it.

It seems that the people here are very scrupulous about this place and want to lock it up forever.

After they removed all the debris, a small mound of dirt appeared underneath, about half a person's height and half a person's width.

The female ghost flew around the mound lightly and said, "This used to be a well...it was the well next to Yan Hao's house."

"Yan Hao".

It was the person who bought her and imprisoned her for three full years.

Mentioning this name, He Wanbai's eyes were still burning with anger.

It was in this well that she committed suicide.

He Wan Bai flew around the mound a few more times, and said, "My obsession is under here. When you find it, you can send me away."

Lu Yingjiu asked, "Do you have any other wishes?"

"No." He Wan Bai replied bluntly, "But when you ask me that, I remembered something."

She mysteriously fumbled in the pockets of her torn clothes, took out a stack of papers, and distributed them to everyone.

Lu Yingjiu took it over and took a look.

It is indeed a painting of Chu Qianju and the Peacock God kissing each other sweetly.

As expected of He Wanbai, he worked in a tattoo parlor before, and his painting skills are very vivid, similar to the temple murals.

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

He turned his head to look at the paintings in other people's hands. The protagonists are Chu Qianju and Peacock God. Exciting.

Chu Banyang: "...you drew these?"

He had the largest one in his hand, and the two of them were almost naked, and the eyes they looked at each other were like burning fire.

"Of course!" He Wanbai said confidently, "Chu Qianju told me some stories about peacocks. I was so shocked and inspired that I drew three pictures in one night! Don’t lose it, you have to keep it safe for me!”

Lu Yingjiu said: "The way you repay your benefactor is really special."

"Xiao Chu obviously likes it too, okay?" He Wanbai said, "I showed him, and he said that I draw well. How about I draw you a picture too?"

Jing Xian's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, Lu Yingjiu elbowed him back.

Lu Yingjiu: "...No, thank you."

Yao Gou narrowed his eyes, studied the pictures for a long time, and suddenly said in shock: "Ah! I always thought you liked Chu Qianju! Why did you suddenly fall in love with him and other people's CP!"

"You're not talking nonsense!" He Wanbai scolded him, "I always knew he had an official match, so why would I go up to pry a corner with a shy face! To me, he is just a pure benefactor."

Yao Gou scratched his head vigorously: "Oh, so that's how it is."

He Wan Bai circled around on the mound again, and said, "Okay, I'll give you the painting too, I really don't have any other wishes this time."

Thus, Lu Yingjiu summoned Mao Tuanzi.

Mao Tuanzi romped around beside him, desperately rubbing against his ankles, then Lu Yingjiu picked him up by the back of his neck and put them on the mound of dirt: "Go ahead and dig."

Mao Tuanzi was ordered, and his short paws were desperately digging on the ground.

It looks chubby, but it is actually very efficient. It is estimated that it is the hand speed developed when digging pits and burying bones in the ground.The short legs kept throwing the soil out, but after a few minutes, a big hole had been dug like a storm.

It kept going deep like this, and finally at the depth of the water level of the well, it found something.

It picked up the thing, nimbly crawled back on the mound of dirt, put it at Lu Yingjiu's feet, and kept wagging its tail.

Lu Yingjiu patted its head as a reward, and it immediately howled with joy.

The things on the ground were almost rotten, exuding a cloudy air, and it could barely be seen that it was an embroidered shoe.

Obviously it is a part of the wedding, it should carry joy and hope, but now it has become like this.

The bright colors faded, the fine stitches cracked, and after the gorgeous appearance was broken, there was only the ugly truth——Yan Hao bought a wife, and the family was naturally happy, but the joy could not conceal the decayed, rotten bones and soul. stench.

He Wan Bai looked at it and said: "I used to hope that I could marry a good man, and then live this life smoothly."

"Of course," she continued, "I still believe in love, and Chu Qianju has proved it for me."

"I don't complain much now, I can only wish myself a happy next life."

"Well," Lu Yingjiu said, "I wish you a happy next life."

Afterwards, the talisman paper was pasted on the embroidered shoes, and a tiny flame was ignited.

The shoes slowly dissipated in the crimson, and He Wanbai's body gradually became transparent.

Yin Qi dissipated.

She disappeared.

……

The commission was as expected by Lu Yingjiu, and it was actually quite simple.

Chu Banyang walked around the village and came back.

He said, "I found the place where Chu Qianju lived before."

So, everyone followed him to the south of the village.

The south side is right next to the back mountain. According to the villagers, Chu Qianju often ran to the back mountain for two or three days.

Thinking about it now, Chu Qianju must have stayed in the temple.

Lu Yingjiu thought again of the small temple behind the Xitang, the exorcist in white painted on the mural was himself.

Chu Qianju was unable to meet him as she wished until the end.

On the way, he asked Chu Banyang: "Do you know Chu Qianju?"

Chu Banyang nodded slightly: "Well, we've been together for a while."

"What's the curse on him?" Lu Yingjiu said, "The so-called reincarnation."

Chu Banyang froze for a moment.

The Chu family has always been strict about Chu Qianju's affairs.He didn't expect that Lu Yingjiu even knew about the curse.

But he didn't ask, and replied calmly: "You should know, he has no afterlife, and the lifespan of each reincarnation is only 30 to [-] years."

Lu Yingjiu asked again: "Does the Chu family know about this?"

"Yeah." Chu Banyang nodded, "They all know, they also know about Chu Qiangu's reincarnation in every life, they just keep it secret."

He smiled, but there was no real smile in his eyes: "Your next question must be why you keep it secret. Let me tell you directly: The Chu family needs Chu Qianyu because he can calm down the out-of-control peacocks." god."

"The Peacock God doesn't always sleep...or in other words, the sleeping Peacock God is beneficial to exorcists."

"In this regard, Chu Qianju is the best candidate."

Chu Banyang closed his eyes, and thought of the first time he saw Chu Qianju.

It was a dimly sunny afternoon, and the leaves in front of Chu's house rattled when the leaves blew.

The indifferent man was leaning against the wall.

His father took his hand and said, "This is Chu Qianju, Banyang, you should follow him to learn how to exorcise ghosts, especially the one about inviting gods."

The young Chu Banyang raised his head and looked at Chu Qianju.

There was no emotion in those eyes.

Like an abyss that swallows all light.

He had heard many rumors about this person, and he also knew the curse that Chu Qianju was carrying.

Chu Qiangu has no memory every time he reincarnates. In theory, his mental age is no different from that of ordinary people.

He is only more than ten years older than Chu Banyang, not even thirty.But that sense of indifference, the indifference that has been read all over Qianfan, seems to be imprinted in the soul, taking root and sprouting, restraining everything in him layer by layer.

Chu Banyang has studied with him for a while, but he has never seen him smile. He is as cold as a dummy every day, and he is also highly self-disciplined.

Only when asking God, Chu Banyang saw his mood swings.

The Peacock God is still asleep, even if he is summoned by his former lover, he cannot wake up.

But when he landed on Chu Qianju, the phantom of the peacock appeared in midair, spreading its wings gracefully.

The blue-green tail feathers surge like a river, and every golden eye spot is turning, confusing people's hearts and fascinated their minds.

It overlooks everything in the world.

For thousands of years, the peacock god has been graceful, unrestrained and proud.

There has never been only one person who can make him fold his wings and stop gently.

Please God brought a backlash, and also made Chu Qianju's pupils quickly turn into the same golden green, like gems.

Chu Banyang saw a bright smile from those eyes.

When their consciousness returned to the present, they walked side by side on the way to Chu Qianju's home.

Chu Banyang continued to talk to Lu Yingjiu, "But I didn't tell her just now that Chu Qianju was killed by the Peacock God."

Lu Yingjiu was stunned.

Chu Banyang said: "Same as Chu Qianju, the Peacock God also has a curse. Every time he wakes up from a deep sleep, he will fall into an extremely terrifying state of loss of control, posing a great threat to the Chu family and even the entire world. .”

"The reason Peacock hasn't really lost control and hurt anyone until today is because every time Chu Qianju calms him down."

"Their curses are almost synchronous: every time Chu Qianju reincarnates, after ten or twenty years, the peacock will wake up. Then Chu Qianju goes to see him, stops him, and makes him fall into a deep sleep again - just the price to pay It's life."

He closed his eyes: "I don't know what Chu Qianju thinks about this matter... He should know that he was just used as a spearman by the Chu family, but he doesn't care."

Logically speaking, as the founder of "Inviting God", Chu Qianju should have the supreme status.

However, repeated reincarnations and repeated suppressions of the Peacock God have gradually obliterated this point.

Others looked at Chu Qianyu and thought "this is a person who must die".

They took the suppression of peacocks as an obligation and threw it to Chu Qianju.

They also knew that the eternal reincarnation prevented Chu Qianju from really dying, which made them even more indifferent to his sacrifice.

——The curse is on the two of you, and it is only right for you to stop him.

You'll be resurrected anyway, and death is nothing.

Anyway, you never seem to be emotional, anyway, there will always be a next life...

Perhaps, Chu Banyang would have had the same idea.

But he always remembered the smile in Chu Qianju's eyes when he asked God.

No matter what, people's hearts are soft, how could it be possible to be completely emotionless?

It's just that some people hide it tightly.

Chu Qianju was like a cold stone.

Chu Banyang was fortunate enough to see the cracks in the stone, and light seeped out of them.

Chu Banyang said: "When a peacock's feathers are furious, they will turn into sharp and hard blades, no different from daggers."

"Chu Qianju's body was full of penetrating wounds. At first, we thought it was from his fight with the peacock, but then I realized that it was not like this."

"These scars are because he hugged the peacock at the end."

——Chu Qianju is also the proud son of heaven, and he has the ultimate understanding of peacocks, which is why he has the ability to fight ghosts and gods.

At the end of the battle with the Peacock God, the gorgeous blue-green feathers fluttered, and the peacock's body was covered with blood, dripping down his body—he turned into a human body, but maintained all his own characteristics, including the golden-green Pupils, sideburns, and layers of feathers all over.

The bright red flowed through the delicate collarbone, and the slender fingers hung down. The wildness and gorgeousness blended on the beauty's body, and one glance can captivate people's hearts.

At the last moment, whether it was the mad peacock god or the man covered in scars, they were all out of breath.

Chu Qianju turned the blade in his hand, and rushed forward facing thousands of sharp feathers stabbing at him.

The silver knife light streaked across the air, cutting off the emerald green, and finally splashed a curtain of scarlet.

It pierced through the peacock's heart, twisted it hard, and pulled it out decisively.

Ghosts can't really be killed in Yangjian, but it's enough to hurt Peacock enough to send him back to sleep.

And this decisive and stern knife made it impossible for Chu Qianju to avoid another round of sword feathers.

In fact, he didn't mean to avoid it.He clearly knew that he had no energy left, and the only thing waiting for him was death.

He tossed the dagger aside casually, and the blade clanged and vibrated, shaking off all the blood on the blade.

Then he faced the overwhelming feathers with cold tips, stepped forward half a step, and hugged the Peacock God tightly.

Let the opponent's wings pierce through the body.

Everything returned to silence, the ground was in a mess, messy feathers and blood mixed together, and the ground was covered with ferocious scratches.

They obviously love each other, but they are trapped by the curse, they can only fight to death.

Sanity returned to the peacock's pupils.

In the last few seconds of her life, Chu Qianju caressed his face, from the eyes to the temples, from the chin to the neck, and finally bowed her head and kissed his lips deeply.

It was a kiss that smelled of blood and fire, but it was extremely gentle.

Just like many years ago, when he picked up the injured peacock on the wasteland and trotted through the drizzle, his embrace was so gentle.

"...Good night," Chu Qianju whispered in his ear after the kiss was over.

"Little Peacock, see you in the next life."
