The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

As the movie was still going on, Wang Luan felt a faint chill in his heart. He was finally sure that it was not an illusion. The characters on the screen were not only Feng Ating, but even Zhu Chenghuan's face gradually changed.

Their faces became more and more like the sisters of the Yang family in old photos, and at the same time, their expressions became rigid and dull, as if they were just expressing their due emotions mechanically and exaggeratedly.

He subconsciously squeezed Qi Chensheng's hand, and the two looked at each other under the dim light. It seemed that that person wanted to reveal the "truth" of the year for them.

The story in the movie did not stop because of the change of the characters, and continued to move forward in a direction they already knew but did not know.

"Zheng Huanxiang", or Qi Miao, finally got engaged to his sister Yang Lingwen, and they are no longer in the old courtyard of the Xu family used for filming, but the old house of the Yang family that has been demolished.

In this scene that should be full of joy, young men and women with dead faces stand side by side, and their red dresses are also reflected in black and white, as if they are wearing mourning clothes, with empty smiles on their faces.

In the dark, the beginning of the tragedy should be witnessed.

After the engagement ended, Qi Miao began to visit Yang's house more frequently, Yang Lingwen on the screen became more and more happy, while Yang Lingyue became more and more sad.

All the turning points happened in the spring of the following year. Although there was no sound in the movie, it seemed to be Qi Miao's birthday.After paying homage to the elders at home early in the morning, he went to the Yang family, and the current Yang family—

Wang Luan frowned slightly. At this time, the courtyard of the two young ladies of the Yang family was also very lively. The little girls crowded around Yang Lingwen with smiles, and saluted one by one.

Yang Lingwen was sitting there, and Lingyue was paying her respects at the side, as if she was also celebrating her birthday?

For some reason, such a coincidence made Wang Luan particularly mindful. He felt as if he had a flash of thought, but he couldn't say it.

Not long after, Qi Miao came to Yang's house. He looked at Yang Lingwen full of love, hugged and smiled with her, only his younger sister Lingyue walked out of the room with a concealed expression.

Then Qi Miao and Yang Lingwen sat at the table, they seemed to be talking about something, Qi Miao's expression gradually became serious, as if he had made some serious decision.

And Yang Lingwen was obviously very surprised, thinking that Qi Miao was joking, but the other party's serious appearance made her believe it a bit.

Qi Miao stood up, followed by the fading light in the room——

Wang Luan's eyes widened involuntarily, and Qi Chensheng's voice rang in his ears, confirming his thoughts.

"The old man released his star, and he wants to tell Yang Lingwen about holding the demon."

As soon as the words fell, Wang Luan saw four starlights lit up on the screen and in the dark room, and Wang Luan could recognize them, which corresponded to the "house" that also belonged to the east.

The twilight brought by the stars reflected Yang Lingwen's surprised expression. Seeing this, Wang Luan understood that what the old man did was actually reasonable.

Qi Miao wanted Yang Lingwen to really understand him, just like Qi Chensheng later told him about the star supervisor, this is the tradition of the Qi family without words, sharing the secret with the love of this life.

Sure enough, after being surprised, Yang Lingwen also became happy. She touched those little stars with a smile, and Qi Miao also had the same smile on her face.

Although their faces were still stiff at the moment, Wang Luan really felt that emotion.

The starlight gradually faded, and the light filled the room again, but what Qi Miao wanted to say seemed to be unfinished.

He changed back to the rigid and stiff look before, took Yang Lingwen's hand and continued to describe something to her. Yang Lingwen listened with admiration, but gradually, Wang Luan found that her expression had changed a little.

Yang Lingwen seemed to be pleasantly surprised and looking forward to it, but also seemed to be mixed with a trace of retreat.

There is no sound in the movie, Wang Luan and Qi Chensheng have no way of knowing the content of their conversation, they can only guess based on the picture.

What exactly did Qi Miao say to Yang Lingwen?Why did the other party react like this?

At this time, the camera of the movie moved away slowly, along the narrow window slit, and looked outside the bright spring door - there was a person standing there.

It was Yang Lingyue, she had obviously been outside the door the whole time, and she knew Qi Miao's secret together with Yang Lingwen.

After Qi Miao left, Yang Lingyue hurried back to the room, she held her sister Yang Lingwen's hand, as if anxiously persuading her.

But Yang Lingwen shook her head, and instead looked in the direction Qi Miao was leaving. The final retreat was defeated by trust and preference, and she made a decision——

That was not a good decision, enough to push her into an irreparable situation.

Yang Lingwen began to follow Qi Miao to get in touch with holding the demon, at first she just followed Qi Miao, and together with him dealt with the strange things caused by holding the demon.During this process, under Qi Miao's deliberate guidance, Yang Lingwen also became interested in the power of holding demons.

But what Qi Miao wanted was more than that. He didn't distance Yang Lingwen from Zhiyao, and even intentionally let Yang Lingwen get in touch with more Zhiyao.

Seeing this, Wang Luan couldn't help frowning. He obviously felt that something was wrong. Qi Miao's feelings for Yang Lingwen before didn't seem fake, but what he was going to do now was really just to let the future Does his wife know his secret?

No, this is really not like, Qi Miao's actions seem to be——

Wang Luan's thoughts stopped abruptly, because he saw that Qi Miao on the screen finally did what Wang Luan didn't want to believe he would do.

On one night, so secret that almost no one knew about it, he took Yang Lingwen's hand and held the demon flower with blood petals.

Wang Luan knew that it was a demon that would bloom on Yang Lingwen's soul, absorb her life as nourishment, and lead her step by step towards weakness and death.

how could this be?

Isn't Qi Miao in love with Yang Lingwen?

Why... why did you personally push her into the abyss?

Qi Chensheng was also stunned. In his impression, although the old man was old-fashioned, domineering and unreasonable, he couldn't believe that Qi Miao would do such a thing.

"It doesn't make any sense...what on earth is he going to do..." The gray disabled eyes narrowed dangerously, and the slender gentleman's stick struck the ground under his feet in the darkness.

But this was just the beginning, Qi Miao was not satisfied with letting a monster parasitize Yang Lingwen, and soon he met the right time, and then used the second monster to find it from the ancient books of the Qi family. The special method was also introduced to Yang Lingwen!

This time, Wang Luan was not only surprised. If what was shown in the movie was true, then what Wang Mingsheng studied in the church basement, and the symbiosis of demons on Qi Wangxiang, all came from This!

What about Yang Lingyue... Does the old Mrs. Qi they suspect really have nothing to do with this?

His hands trembled a little, and he clenched Qi Chensheng urgently, but he also knew that the subversion in Qi Chensheng's heart at this moment might not be inferior to his.

"Shen Sheng..."

"Keep watching." Qi Chensheng hugged Wang Luan's shoulders, still staring at the screen in mid-air, no matter how absurd they were, they would continue to watch.

With a second, there will be a third...

Although Qi Miao tried many different methods, as the parasitic monsters on Yang Lingwen's body increased, her body finally weakened.

She has always been healthy, but she began to get sick frequently. Although it was only a minor illness, it couldn't be cured, and it became more and more serious.

At this time Yang Lingyue appeared again, she seemed more anxious than last time, almost crying and begging Yang Lingwen for something.

But Yang Lingwen did not agree. At that moment, the camera was looking directly at her beautiful but sickly face, and Wang Luan clearly recognized her thin lips. She was saying, "I believe him—"

But Yang Lingwen's belief was useless. He had tried countless times for a long time, but all ended in failure. Qi Miao seemed to have gradually lost his patience, and he turned his attention to Yang Lingyue.

But at this time, Yang Lingyue had given up on that dark secret love. Facing Qi Miao who made her sister like this, she hated her even more, and she told Yang Lingwen about it.

So the next thing Mr. Yang said was the quarrel between Yang Lingwen and Qi Miao.

Although there was no sound, Wang Luan could almost imagine what they were arguing about, but he also knew that this quarrel was destined to be fruitless.

Qi Miao left angrily, leaving Yang Lingwen alone, sitting on the hospital bed, guarding the empty room in front of her.

The black and white picture made her look so lonely, cheated, betrayed, and abandoned. The once so bright and beautiful woman was slowly dragged to death by the inescapable demon in her body.

Are all affections fake?Wang Luan recalled the stone tablet he saw behind the church back then. If that was the case, what kind of thought did Qi Miao have when he left the words "Bi Luo is hard to find, forever lost" on it?

Is it just to bring this hypocritical drama to a successful conclusion?

That's why he avoided talking about what happened back then, and that's why he tried his best to prevent the younger generations from chasing down the strange thing--

But Wang Luan still couldn't fully accept it. Although everything in the movie was clear, he had to rethink a problem.

Is what they saw real?

The person who led them here must have a purpose for letting them see this. If it is true, then the old man of the Qi family is a complete hypocrite. What happened to the sisters of the Yang family back then, if what happened to them now, The main culprit is him.

But what if... that's not entirely true?

He looked at Qi Chensheng, and found the same concern in the other's eyes.

And just when their minds were in endless chaos, the movie on the screen finally came to an end.In the third year after Yang Lingwen's death, Yang Lingyue saw Qi Miao holding flowers behind Skoll Church.

They went to visit Yang Lingwen's tombstone together, and when they were parting, something was brewing in their eyes again.

In the last scene, the Yang family finally decorated with lanterns and festoons, and hung silk and flowers.It's a pity that the person who got married was not the eldest lady Yang Lingwen back then, but her younger sister Yang Lingyue.

She was sitting in front of her sister's dressing table, her temples were full of pearls and emerald greens, and her clothes were tied together.In the black and white picture, the lips that were supposed to be vermilion at this moment seemed to be contaminated with the most poisonous poison, slowly evoking a smile full of hatred.
