Chapter 23 Zongmen

Thank you Xunwei! ?

Yu Tingqiu was angry, but he didn't expect that it was this dead woman who frightened her half to death.She turned around and wanted to speak, but Xie Xunwei was silent, looking straight at her, a bleak shadow covered her face, and she felt a little ghostly.

Yu Tingqiu's voice was fluttering, and he said, "Xie Xunwei, why are you here? Who are you scaring?"

Xie Xunwei still didn't speak, the ever-burning lamp shone on her face, shining like white porcelain.Yu Tingqiu felt that something was wrong with her, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.Suddenly there was a sound of pattering footsteps at the entrance, getting louder and closer.Yu Tingqiu was startled and looked around, it was empty and there was nowhere to hide.Hiding in a coffin?Without a coffin, it was easy to be found, and she didn't want to lie with a dead man.There was no other way, she gritted her teeth, pulled Xie Xunwei up, and led her into the pile of corpses under the steps.

"Don't talk." She whispered to Xie Xunwei.

They squatted down against the wall, with their backs against the ice wall, as if they were frozen, and Yu Tingqiu felt like a corpse.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they were about to come in.Yu Tingqiu closed his eyes and prayed that he could get away with it and escape unharmed.People are not judged by appearances, she never dreamed that Pei Zhen is a gentle and elegant nobleman on the surface, but secretly a lunatic who collects corpses.Why did Xie Xunwei come?Perhaps because of curiosity, like her, she accidentally discovered the secret of the mirror.That's okay, Xie Xunwei sees clearly the truth about Pei Zhen, and saves himself from being blindfolded by Pei Zhen like her.

Thinking of this, Yu Tingqiu opened his eyes, and a pale woman's face appeared in front of him, Yu Tingqiu almost screamed in fright, when he took a closer look, he realized that it was Xie Xunwei.This dead woman did not know what medicine she had taken wrongly, and she was so close to her that there was almost only a palm distance between their two faces.Xie Xunwei stared at her, his eyes were very strange, the more he looked at her, the colder he felt.Yu Tingqiu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and suddenly he realized that it was a mistake for him to bring Xie Xunwei in. Pei Zhen took medicine for her every day, there must be something wrong with this woman.

She put her palm against Xie Xunwei's chest, keeping her a little distance from herself.As soon as Xie Xunwei stepped aside, the straight corpses behind her were exposed.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yu Tingqiu always felt that these corpses were all squinting at her.She was next to a corpse next to her, which also had its neck tilted, and its cloudy eyeballs were slanted in the corners of its eyes, as if staring at her.The hairs on her body stood on end, and she tried to recall whether the group of corpses looked like this when she first entered the pile of corpses.But she came in too quickly, so she didn't pay attention.

Wait, she suddenly realized what was wrong with Xie Xunwei.

Xie Xunwei was exactly like these corpses, they were all staring at her.

When footsteps came in, Yu Tingqiu subconsciously held his breath.A tall man came in from the ice cellar, he was indeed Pei Zhen.He was dressed in Tsing Yi, elegant and graceful, and there was no trace of madness or viciousness on his gentle face.As soon as he came in, he walked through the group of corpses, inspecting their bodies one by one, pressing the face, chest and waist and abdomen with his palms, shaking out a flannelette, and taking silver needles to pierce their acupuncture points.The lights shone, and the silver needles shone brightly.Yu Tingqiu was worried, afraid that he would come to her side.Fortunately, he stopped after checking the eighth body.

"The corpses are all dead, and the blood has also coagulated." Pei Zhen looked very disappointed. "Is it true that only the six-petal lotus heart can keep the corpse from decaying?"

He seemed to be talking to himself.

"How is the investigation of the female ghost in Kunshan? Is it related to the ghost country?" Pei Zhen asked.

There were noisy whispers in the secret room, and several dark shadows emerged from Pei Zhen's feet, rose along the two surrounding walls, and gurgled into the six orifices of several corpses.Yu Tingqiu's hair was terrified, his chest was icy cold, almost frost.Although she is ignorant, she has heard some secret rumors.This seems to be the long-banned technique of "detaining ghosts and summoning spirits". The detained ghosts will become the ghost attendants of the caster. Hundreds of years ago, when the Xianmen revived, the forbidden art books were burned together and have long been lost. for a long time.Unexpectedly, Pei Zhen practiced such an evil technique, and it looked like he had more than one ghost arrested.

"The ground fissure has moved quite a bit, and it has expanded by more than a foot." The corpses twisted their necks, and "lived" one by one, with broken and hoarse voices overlapping, cold and sticky, hissing like snake letters.

"Have you ever found out where Yu Lianhai's head came from?" Pei Zhen asked again.

"Not yet." Ghost Attendant said, "Give us some more time. That man hides so deeply that he can't catch the horse's feet."

Pei Zhen smiled, but it was rather gloomy, "Let out more ghosts to go out and walk, and find out the identity of this person as soon as possible. How can I allow others to tarnish my teacher's name?"

"My teacher"?Yu Tingqiu was puzzled.

"Yes. In addition, your substitute has been used for too long. Although Baili Jueming is limited by the corruption of his body, it is difficult to display all his skills, but if he is not careful, he will inevitably be taught to detect flaws. Sir, you must make a new one. meat puppets."

"I see." Pei Zhen pulled out the silver needle from the corpse, and burned the needle tip on the candle.

He used the newly dead corpse as a meat puppet, and made ghosts live in it to replace him in bed, so that he could walk as Pei Zhen.However, so far, no matter what kind of herbs are used to fill the corpse, it will inevitably rot. Every once in a while, he will rearrange the corpse, change its appearance, and replace it with Xie Xunwei's face.Fortunately, Shizun is an idiot and has never noticed his trick of stealing the sky.

The most urgent thing now is how to preserve Master's current physical body from corruption.He lowered his eyelashes in thought, his brows were a little melancholy.

"Didn't you say that a little girl lost her way?" Pei Zhen took the towel and brush to clean his hands, tilted his head and said, "Where is it?"

"It's your annoying cousin." The ghost waiter said, "On the fifth day of the lunar new year, she's under custody."

Yu Tingqiu's heart fell to the bottom, "Xie Xunwei" next to her looked at her coldly, she could see the contempt in the ghost's eyes.After listening to the words, she seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand.Who is Pei Zhen?What happened to Xie Xunwei?Her head is full of paste.

Pei Zhen turned his face to the side and looked over lightly.The amber candlelight covered his cheeks, as if putting a layer of light golden makeup on him.From this tricky point of view, Yu Tingqiu was dumbfounded, because she finally found that Pei Zhen's outline was exactly the same as Xie Xunwei's, with the delicate curvature of the jaw line, the slightly raised eye tips, the high nose bridge... and the sideways eyes. Judging by the disdainful appearance of the people, their looks are exactly the same.Pei Zhen walked over slowly, the candlelight scorched his porcelain-like cheeks, and his face returned to the shadows.

After listening to Qiu Hou, Yu realized that Xie Xunwei, after taking off her delicate and soft makeup, was Pei Zhen.He is very skillful in applying makeup. He uses golden rouge to add brilliance to the dimples, shadows to soften the sharp corners of the outline, hosta powder to slightly change the fair complexion, and Luo Zidai to describe the beautiful distant mountain eyebrows.He also likes to put flowers on tin, and dot gold and silver honeysuckle on his forehead, which adds a bit of feminine tenderness.Wear yellow makeup on the forehead when you are awake, apply butterfly powder thickly when you are sick, and wipe your eyes lightly to make up for mourning.With minor adjustments to ordinary details, the whole face is quite different.Even if there are occasional resemblances, it seems to be a coincidence.Who would have thought that Pei Zhen was Xie Xunwei?

After all the key points were figured out, Yu Tingqiu felt sick and cold all over his body.

He opened his mouth, and a low and gentle voice came over, "Cousin, didn't I tell you to go home? Why are you here?"

It was discovered, and there was no need to hide it.Yu Tingqiu walked out inch by inch, and said bravely: "I came to look for the elixir, but I accidentally lost my way. You... Are you Xie Xunwei or Pei Zhen, are you male or female?"

The room suddenly darkened, and whispers of rambling voices sounded from all around.

"Blood……"

"Live...it smells delicious..."

"Lang Jun, give her to us..."

"I'm so hungry..."

Yu Tingqiu felt shuddering fear on her back, and more black shadows appeared in the secret room, sticking to the floor tiles, walls, and roof, and surrounded her.It turned out that there were not only the ghosts seen earlier in this room at all, they were hiding in the shadows, and now they came out attracted by her.She thought she sneaked into Pei Zhendan's room without anyone noticing, she was too naive, in fact, she was discovered as soon as she came in.

"What's the relationship between a man and a woman?" Xie Xunwei looked at her pityingly, "Auntie spoiled you too much and made you forget the rules. Do you know that there are some places where you should not set foot, otherwise..." His eyes were radiant, tender as if Water, "will cost you your life."

It was at this moment that Yu Tingqiu truly realized how terrifying he was.He spoke the cruelest words in the gentlest voice.This dead woman... No, dead man!Scared her? She, Yu Tingqiu, had never been scared before!Yu Tingqiu subconsciously wanted to scold him, but from the corner of her eye she caught sight of beast-like ghosts and zombie ghost attendants glaring at her, she immediately faltered, and changed her words: "I just came to inform you that I don't like you anymore, no matter you are Male or female, I wish you and Qin Qiuming a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a son soon. I still have to go home and get married, so I’m leaving now, don’t need to see each other off!”

She turned her head and wanted to leave, but her shoulders suddenly sank and she couldn't move anymore. When she lowered her head, she saw her own shadow being pressed against her shoulders by several black shadows.

Xie Xun walked up the steps and checked whether Baili Jueming's body in the coffin was safe.The sleeves were lifted up, and he tucked the sleeves flat, brushed his fingers over Baili Jueming's shoulders, and gently stroked his scorched face.His gentle and tender appearance, as if what he caressed was a sleeping beauty instead of an ugly charred corpse.He stared at the corpse for a while, then slowly bent down, and kissed the skinny and charred cheek of the corpse under Yu Tingqiu's shocked eyes.

In fact, he still likes Master's previous appearance the most, so he tried his best to find Master's original appearance with this new body.He thought of his master's smile, his unruly little canine teeth, and his usually warm eyes became darker.The master is his, regardless of life or death, no matter what physical body he uses, it belongs to him alone.

He straightened up and said: "Fortunately, Master is no longer here. He has always hated others disturbing his peace."

Yu Ting Qiuqiang suppressed the astonishment in his heart, and it took him a long time to find his own voice, "That's Baili Jueming's body? I didn't move anything, and I didn't touch your master's body. Xie Xunwei, let me go , I promise not to say a word."

Xie Xun Weifu raised his eyes again, his eyes were as warm and moving as ever.

"But you discovered all my secrets, cousin, should I kill you?"

He stepped down the steps and walked towards her step by step.

The fear in Yu Tingqiu's heart grew like a vine, and his legs felt weak, "You, you, you... what do you want!"

"I originally thought that if you are wronged and owed, you and Dalang should not be punished for your mother's mistakes. But why would you seek your own death?" Xie Xun sighed slightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Yu family treats you so well! You will repay your kindness and beat you back!" Yu Tingqiu scolded, scratching his neck.

Xie Xun smiled meaningfully, "Your mother has protected you too well."

He unbuttoned the grape buttons on her collar, took off her rouge-colored double-breasted jacket, and left a layer of snow-white jacket to wrap her thin body.Yu Tingqiu felt humiliated, tears rolled in his eyes.Xie Xun slightly shook off the flannelette she had seen before, and the silver needles were arranged in it, each sharp and shiny.She had a premonition of what he was going to do, and what she was about to become.She thought she was going to die, and became Xie Xunwei's display just like the corpse in the ice cellar.

Xie Xun's eyebrows were gentle, and he said softly:

"Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt."

He walked around her, and the blue robes she loved in the past fluttered like butterflies.One by one, the silver needles penetrated into her acupuncture points, Baihui, Fengfu, Naohu, Qiangjian... His technique was skillful and ingenious, pressing her acupuncture points was like a lover's caress, the silver needles seamlessly fit her soft body and The brain is in the palace, until the soul also touches the coldness of the needle tip.

She knew his acupuncture skills. The eight acupuncture needles she once praised most were unmatched by anyone in the world, and now they are used on her body.The five senses began to degenerate, and the body lost consciousness.The field of vision went black inch by inch, the shadow of despair hit my heart, and tears dripped from my chin.In the end, her jaw also fell, her fingers drooped feebly, and her world was pitch black.
