"What bullshit are you talking about!" Baili Jueming was extremely angry.

"Senior, do you know why pure yin bodies are extremely rare?" Xie Cenguan brushed off his dirty clothes, "Looking through the scriptures, historical records, and genealogies of various clans, there has never been a pure yin boy before Xunwei. "

"Do you think anyone can catch up with the horoscope of the cloudy year?"

Xie Cenguan shook his head, "It's not because the four-yin horoscope is extremely rare, but that once all pure-yin children are born, they will be strangled to death in their infancy by the family to prevent him from causing a catastrophe. When Xunwei was born, his father and mother , The elders of the ancestral hall want me to make up my mind. A disciple of a family, the clan comes first. I have followed my father’s advice all my life. I studied and memorized scriptures at the age of four, practiced swords at the age of eight, got married at the age of 19, and gave birth to a child at the age of [-]. I have to kill the child of great misfortune.” His eyes became far away, and his smile was bitter, “I remember that day, when it was raining, I went to the nanny with a sword, Xun Wei was just born, ugly, like A small boiled sweet potato. He kept crying and crying. I took him from the nanny. It was strange to say that he stopped crying and smiled when he looked at me. As long as I hugged him, he would laugh. He would cry when others hugged him. I returned Xunwei to the nanny and knelt in front of my father's door all night. It was the first time I violated the clan's wishes. If I wanted to keep Xunwei, even if I was kicked out of Xie's house, I would Keep him too."

Baili Cassia choked, and her anger gradually dissipated.He looked at the man in front of him, speechless.Xie Cenguan changed his skin. The corpse he was wearing should have disappeared at a young age. It looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his eyes could not deceive anyone. The loneliness and loneliness reflected in his eyes far surpassed his appearance. age.

Xie Cenguan said: "All scourges originate from the pure Yin physique. As long as Xun Wei becomes an ordinary child, all pressing problems will be solved naturally. I reject all marriage proposals with ulterior motives, and come to the Ghost Country to obtain the pure Yin physique. The treasure of the yin body. This kind of treasure must be born with pure yang, and absorb the anode energy for 400 years. Throughout the world, the ghost country of Huangquan is the only place with hope."

"Did you find it?"

Xie Cenguan took a deep look at him, "Everything went smoothly at the beginning. There was no obstacle on the road. We saw old spruces and giant cypresses over 200 years old, as well as many ganoderma lucidum and rare herbs. The giant cypresses followed the water. Sheng, the younger brother of the Yu family is well-read and knowledgeable. He judged that we have passed through the ground crack and reached the southwestern border. If we go further, we should be able to see the river. We are not surprised that the sky has not dawned. There must be something abnormal in the ghost domain. It’s just that the rain was too heavy and the road was difficult, so we decided to find a place to shelter from the rain. So we came here, Yinmu Village. After entering here, everything changed.”

"I know," Baili Jueming said, "I saw the octagonal bronze mirror left by you and Yu Lianhai. You mistakenly thought that the other party was possessed by evil spirits and killed each other. The truth is that the time and space in Yinmu Village are disordered. You saw Yu Lianhai taking you Feed the ghosts as bait, attracting corpses to chase and kill Yu Lianhai who just came in, Yu Lianhai took revenge on you and hung you on the beam."

"It's almost what you said, but you're wrong about one thing," Xie Cenguan said, "We are indeed bewitched."

Baili Jueming frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Since you have seen the bronze mirror, don't you find that everyone in it is strange?"

"What's so strange?" Baili Jueming recalled the picture in the mirror, and he suddenly remembered that Xie Cenguan in the mirror was very sinister and evil, very different from the smiling person in front of him.

"You haven't eaten the food in the ghost country, have you?" Xie Cenguan asked suddenly, thinking of something.

"No, Wudu told me before he was alive that you can't eat food from the ghost country." Baili Jueming was full of doubts, "What will happen if you eat the food from the ghost country? Why can't you eat it?" After eating those moldy things, nothing but diarrhea , are there any other dangerous consequences?

"If you eat something from the ghost country, you will become like us."

When Xie Cenguan said this, his expression became extremely painful and sad.Those days in the ghost country were obviously memories that he was extremely unwilling to recall.There are too few things recorded in the bronze mirror, and many things more terrible than cannibalism must have happened to them.

Xie Cenguan lowered his head and thought for a while, probably thinking about how to describe this matter.He pondered for a moment, and said: "Wudu didn't lie to you on this matter, it's good if we didn't eat. Our state at that time is hard to describe. Have you ever seen a person whose head was lowered? Our situation is a bit different from that one. Similar. The longer you stay in the ghost country, you will find that your thinking and actions are contrary to common sense. Sometimes I come back to my senses and find that the celestial sundial has turned for several days, but I don’t have these few days at all Memory. The further back, the longer the time interval. Until now, I still can't recall what happened at that time."

Baili Jueming frowned and thought, why the hell does this sound like being possessed by a ghost?Under normal circumstances, only when a stranger's mind is in turmoil and unconsciousness can ghosts have an opportunity to take advantage of it.Therefore, weak women and children are easily possessed, and frightened people are also easily possessed.He had never heard of eating something that would get him possessed.

"All in all, we made a big mistake here. I didn't find the treasure of pure yang, and I lost my life. The time and space in Yinmu village were chaotic, and I didn't know how many years I regained my sanity. When I finally returned to the human world, I was possessed by others Crawling home from the wrecked corpses, I found that Xie’s entire family had been slaughtered. The housekeeper, the nanny, my wife...all of them were dead. I found my father in the backyard. Do you think it’s strange, maybe this is the father and son Let’s be close, I’m attached to someone else’s corpse, but when he saw my eyes, he knew I was Xie Cenguan. With his last breath, he held my hand and said a word.”

"...what?"

He stopped and was silent for a moment.

"He said," Xie Cenguan said in a low voice, "'Wuzhong Xie's clothes have been destroyed for 600 years, and they were all destroyed by you.'"

Baili Jueming sighed.

"You asked me why I didn't go to see Xunwei," Xie Cenguan said with a gloomy face, "I want to ask you, how should I face him? When I see him, should I laugh or cry? What should I say? ? Xun Wei, father is back. No, I died in the ghost country long ago, and what crawled back was a cold corpse, is this still a return?"

Baili Cassia's throat felt dry, and she didn't know what to say.

He scolded people neatly, but he didn't know how to say comforting words.Fortunately, Xun Wei is not here and does not know the truth of the past, otherwise she must be very sad.Baili Jueming seemed to have a hole in his heart, and bitter water flowed out from it.He thought of Xun Wei's innocence, black hair, white skin, bright smile, the most beautiful child in the world.Such a good child, why should he suffer so much?

"The fault is not you, nor Xunwei, but those heartless thieves." Baili Jueming finally said, "Xie Cenguan, think about it again. Xunwei is your own flesh and blood, she has been there all along. Waiting for you, every time I teach her wind music, she has to practice until midnight. This is a technique handed down by your Xie family. She works so hard so that she can proudly show it to you when you come back. "

Xie Cenguan waved his hand and interrupted him.

"After so many years, I have thought clearly."

Baili Jueming choked, "You..."

"I'll say it again for the last time," Xie Cenguan said with a cold expression, "Senior, I don't want that child anymore, I gave it to you."

In the silent lamp shadow, every word is like a small drumstick, hitting Pei Zhen's heart, more precisely, Xie Xunwei's heart.He lay in the shadow of the cassia hood and silently closed his eyes.

"What you said, I'll take you as a fart, I didn't hear." Baili Jueming held back his anger, and said word by word, "Give you three breaths, tell me again."

Xie Cenguan was silent for a moment, and said: "Senior, I left when he was one year old. I never raised him. He can't be counted as my child. The Xie family's life debt is too heavy. I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. You Raise him to grow up, give him scriptures, teach him spells. You are a respected teacher and a real father. From now on, when he gets married, he will worship you and not me. He respects and respects his relatives, and he will not raise me. He fell to his knees, and he will send you off or me." His voice was very low, but extremely clear, "Just pretend to be me, and never gave birth to this child."

His words were so ruthless, without leaving any room, the small room suddenly fell silent, only the heavy candlelight weighed on everyone's eyebrows and shoulders.There is silence in Pei Zhen's eyes, he has always been good at scheming, everything is under control when the master returns, the fairy gate reopens and the earth cracks.Collecting his father's bones, investigating the truth, and avenging his revenge, he took steps step by step.But he never thought that it turned out that his father didn't go home not because he died in the ghost country, but because he was an abandoned and hated child.

He remembers running in the crimson corridor of Xie's old house when he was a child, the wind blowing the waves and the bamboo mat rattling, he accidentally heard rumors from the servants behind the curtain, saying that when he was just born, the ancestral hall made divination for him, saying that he In this life, there are few relatives, no kindness, and loneliness.

He was still too young to understand, but he could hear the hatred and dislike in the servant's words.He hid in the secret room behind the pine and cypress paintings in the main room for a day, causing people in the whole house to look for him in a hurry.Until he was slaughtered at the age of six, he crawled out of the secret room he hid in every time he got angry, and his mother fell down on the cold floor tiles of the main room, with the winding blood flowing over the soles of the shoes she gave him.Until the master was sealed when he was 14 years old, he watched helplessly as the elders of the four sects in Jiangzuo cut open the master's chest and took out the bloody six-petal lotus heart.

To this day, when he came to Ghost Country to collect his father's body, he heard him say:

I don't want that child anymore.

He doesn't want to believe in fate, but sometimes he has to.He remembered that when he was young, Grandma Aweng was not very close to him, and the eyes she looked at him were always complicated and sad, full of things he couldn't understand.Every time he ran to their garden, his mother always dragged him back in a hurry.He thought that Grandma Aweng was old and didn't like making noise.

It turned out not to be the case.It turned out that from beginning to end, he was a hated child.
