[Comprehensive] Where do the beauties go

There are no stars in the sky, let alone the moon, and it is as dark as a big hole, which makes people feel a little upside down and can't tell which is up and down, as if they are about to fall into it if they stumble.

Gu Lai, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, hurried along the mountain road alone, heading for the bridge.It was pitch black all around, but she could still walk as freely as if she was walking in daylight,

But compared to normal nights, tonight there is no sound of gurgling water beside the small bridge, and there is no rustling of insects in the grass. Everything is terribly silent.

Gu Lai walked to the end of the bridge, but saw that a large part of the small stone bridge had collapsed in the middle. It would be dangerous for ordinary people to cross even with lanterns on such a night.Gu Lai frowned slightly, pinched a formula with his right hand that was in his sleeve, and instantly a golden thread-like spiritual light jumped from his hand into the deep river under the bridge.

At that moment, a woman holding a paper umbrella suddenly appeared on the bridge. Dazzling red peach blossoms were embroidered on the umbrella, as was the white dress.The umbrella was held so low that the face could not be seen.It was obviously hot and stuffy, so there was no wind, but the skirt flapped violently up and down, and her feet didn't touch the ground at all.

Such a weird woman, no, to be precise, she is a female ghost.

All living beings must die, and when they die, they must return to the earth. This is called a ghost.People, who have no support after death, become lonely ghosts, wandering in the world, without peace for a long time.

The female ghost holding a red umbrella bowed to Gu Lai Yingying, and said softly in Wu Nong's soft voice, "I don't know why the girl called me out?"

Gu Lai said coldly: "I will bring a mortal over later, you will transform into a bridge, let us pass safely."

The female ghost was blessed again, and said softly: "I would like to obey the girl's order."

With a light leap, Gu Lai flew across the broken bridge in the air. Fortunately, it was a night when no one was around, otherwise it would have scared people.

It was late at night, and everyone in the village was asleep. Gu Lai went to the pharmacy of the only doctor in the village, Dr. Zhang, and knocked heavily on the door. With a "squeak", the wooden door was opened from the inside.

"Who? It's so late."

A gray-haired old man pushed open the door, but saw a thin little girl, a little shorter than children of the same age, with calm eyes like water, and a small bun.

"So it's Xiaogu, what's the matter? Come to me so late?" Taifu Zhang rubbed his sleepy eyes and said.

"My father is seriously ill, you should go and see him!" Gu Lai pursed his lips, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and said.

"Okay, I'll let you go." Dr. Zhang hurried back to the house to get the medicine box, and walked to her house with Gu Lai carrying the lantern.

Walking halfway, Doctor Zhang suddenly slapped his head and said, "I remember that a big part of the bridge collapsed two days ago." He looked at Gu Lai again, and asked in doubt, "How did you get here, Xiao Gu?"

Gu Lai raised his head to look at Doctor Zhang, his eyes were clear, and he said innocently: "Really? Was the bridge in good condition when I came here?"

"Is that so?" Doctor Zhang was still puzzled, but he had already reached the side of the bridge. Doctor Zhang raised the lantern and looked at the stone bridge. It really looked intact.

"Someone has already repaired the bridge." Gu Lai said suddenly,

"Maybe. Now that it's been repaired, let's go there. Your father's illness is serious." Doctor Zhang took Gu Lai across the bridge directly. After living too many people's lives and deaths, the body's yang and evil spirits are relatively heavy, and ordinary little ghosts dare not provoke them.Fortunately, the female ghost who turned into a bridge was able to pass Gu Lai's way of Taoism, and would not be driven away by the yang evil spirit on Doctor Zhang, so the two of them crossed the bridge safely.

Doctor Zhang entered Gu Lai's home, and saw Hua Xiucai lying on the bed dying, Gu Lai's only relative in this life was also her father.

He is less than forty years old, but is old and frail like an old man in his fifties or sixties. His complexion is yellow, and his body is full of lifelessness. Dr. Zhang has seen many such patients, but none of them can survive.

Doctor Zhang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, without Hua Xiucai, how would Xiaogu, who was only twelve or thirteen, live.

He couldn't help looking at the little man standing by the door, but he was taken aback, his delicate little face showed no expression, he just looked at Hua Xiucai silently, the coldness in his eyes made people feel distressed.

Zhang Xiucai couldn't help sighing, Xiaogu is such a miserable child. He watched her grow up, but because of her bad luck, she suffered too much. Still laughing, none of these seem to belong to this kid.

Doctor Zhang thought a lot, and then came to his senses, there was no sign of Xiaogu by the door, Doctor Zhang thought, maybe Xiaogu wanted to be alone for a while.He sighed, and continued to guard Hua Xiucai, hoping that a miracle might appear.

Gu Lai sat on the mossy steps behind the cabin, with his hands on his knees, looking at the mountains in the distance.

The female ghost in white with the red umbrella just now closed the umbrella and sat not far from her.

The female ghost's ink-like hair covered most of her face, only revealing a beautiful red phoenix eye, but there was a faint blue light in the eye, which was enough to show that she was no longer an ordinary lonely ghost, There are a lot of ghost cultivators in Taoism, and it is all thanks to Gu Lai that she is able to have what she is today.

"Honglian, why are you here?" Gu Lai said calmly, she knew who it was without turning her head.

The female ghost in white was named Honglian before she was alive, and she can't remember her surname clearly. As a member of the ghost who became a lonely ghost after death, it is already very good that she can still remember her own name. She died in the water, and He was full of resentment when he died, and became a water ghost over time, trapped in the river by the village.

"I'm just a little worried about the girl. After all, if the husband dies, the girl must be very sad." Hong Lian smiled gently, and her eyebrows had long since lost the hostility she had when she first met Gu Lai.

But she couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Why didn't the girl use her own skills to save the husband, but invited that ordinary barefoot doctor?"

"He is a mortal, and mortals should use mortal ways to save him. My method is not suitable and cannot save him. People will always die. This is fate, and I can't change it." Gu Lai said lightly,

As early as a few years ago, she had discovered the lingering death in Hua Xiucai's brow, and she had already figured out that Hua Xiucai died young, no matter how many ways she tried, she could still save her. no.

And Hua Xiu would have such a fate, but she had to say that it had nothing to do with her. Gu Lai couldn't help but mocked in his heart, she was really the fate of a lone star in this life. Once she was born, her mother died and she was born. , it is clearly in the height of spring, but all the flowers wither in an instant, so it is named Huaqiangu.

Hua Qiangu, Hua Xiucai chose this name in order to suppress her fate of solitary relatives, but unfortunately, this fate cannot be suppressed no matter what.

she,

Born ominous.

The strange fragrance brought by her natural blood is very likely to attract ghosts and ghosts, so she was rejected by the villagers. Hua Xiucai took her newborn Gu Lai to live in a wooden house built randomly by the small river in the outskirts of the village.

But what came with the strange fragrance was the millennium cultivation that had dissipated when she was still a black nightshade. Ghosts were attracted by her strange fragrance. Others might be afraid, but she fiercely gathered all the evil spirits in the demon lock tower alone. How can a sword spirit who has been around for hundreds of years be afraid? In terms of ghosts, she has been a lonely ghost for thousands of years, and the skills of controlling ghosts in her hands are incomprehensible.

Special existences in the world like ghosts and ghosts are most afraid of not only righteousness and Buddhism, but also the technique of controlling ghosts in Gu Lai's hands.

Gu Lai was only a few months old, and Hua Xiucai began to worry about her food. Because of Gu Lai's unknown fate, Hua Xiucai could not borrow breast milk from the women in the village, and he had no way to restrain himself. If you are a talented scholar, where do you get goat milk and deer milk?And Gu Lai tried to control some little ghosts to possess the deer and bring them to the door of the house.

Although Hua Xiucai wondered why there was a doe who threw herself into the family, she was more delighted than puzzled.

He cheerfully made deer milk, fed it to Gu Lai spoon by spoon, and couldn't help laughing: "Our Xiaogu family is blessed, he can be blessed by heaven."

Gu Lai couldn't help curling her lips in her heart, these are not the credit of the heavenly beings, the father of her family is really stupid.

The idea of ​​thinking that Hua Xiucai is stupid has followed Gu Lai even more until now, and she is really relying on her own life to force her to grow up. Why didn't an unknown person like her abandon it early, and she wouldn't blame him. Even such a fool is finally going to die.

This feeling is really annoying, Gu Lai quietly looked at the hazy mist rising in the distance, and rarely lost his mind.

"You should go, the sun is coming out." Honglian nodded slightly, walked into the mist, and disappeared after a while.

Gu Lai went back to the cabin and walked to the bed. Dr. Zhang shook his head and patted her on the shoulder. Gu Lai said nothing, but squatted down and took Hua Xiucai's hand, and said softly, "Father, do you have any more?" What do you want me to do?"

Hua Xiucai barely opened his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he even had the strength to speak, but this was just a flash of light.

"I always knew, Xiaogu, you are an extraordinary child, you can see many things and know many things, maybe you are destined to have an extraordinary life, but this road will not be easy, Xiaogu you It will be very hard to walk, father can't do anything for Xiaogu, I just hope Xiaogu can also have ordinary people's feelings and be happy."

After Hua Xiucai finished speaking, the first beam of morning light in the sky broke through the clouds, and the sky finally dawned, and Hua Xiucai also passed away, leaving her.

Even if he was reincarnated again, he would no longer be the father who loved her so much. After walking across the Naihe Bridge and drinking the water from the River of Forgetfulness, he would be another person, and he would have nothing to do with her.

Gu Lai could clearly feel a fetter in his heart disappearing, kinship, ties.

Dr. Zhang wanted to go back to the village to find someone to handle Hua Xiucai's funeral. Gu Lai persuaded Dr. Zhang to return to the village with the request of guarding the coffin for a day for his deceased father. After Dr. Zhang left, Gu Lai buried Hua Xiucai in the In the land beside the house, she knew that her long-dead mother was still buried here, and Gu Lai used magic to carve out a stone tablet to stand on it.

It's not that she dislikes wooden signs, but that her blood will wither when it touches grass and trees, which Gu Lai doesn't understand, but maybe the outside world will give her an answer.

Gu Lai bit his fingertips and wrote down the tomb of his late parents, Hua Xiucai and his wife. They were born under the same quilt and died under the same cave. They would be very happy.

Gu Lai tidied up the house, the home where she lived for 12 years, and packed some things into a bundle to carry on her back. When she walked to the bridge, Hong Lian stood there again holding an umbrella, and said with a faint smile: "Young lady is Do you want to leave?"

"En." Gu Lai nodded slightly,

"An extraordinary person like a girl can't be kept in such a poor and remote place." Honglian said with a gentle smile, then bowed to Gu Lai Yingying and fell to the ground, "Thank you, Miss, for your many teachings." kindness."

Their first encounter began when Hong Lian was attracted by Gu Lai's strange fragrance, but was suppressed by Gu Lai. In the end, because Hong Lian was a powerful ghost in this place, she became her main right-hand man. Gu Lai didn't make her his servant, and he didn't want her to call her master or anything. He also taught her a few ghost cultivation techniques, so that she could be regarded as on the right path in ghost cultivation.

"With the things I taught you, it is enough for you to protect yourself in such a small place. Unless you meet a really powerful cultivator, if you do meet, it is also your fate." Gu Lai said lightly .

"How can a small person like me not follow the path arranged by God. But, girl, the world is so dangerous, you should take care of yourself." Hong Lian was a little more affectionate.

Gu Lai just nodded, and said: "Find some brats and cover up this house, don't let outsiders in."

Hong Lian lightly wiped her sleeves and covered her mouth, "Girl is afraid..."

"After all, it's an unknown person who lived in a place. It's normal to want to burn it or demolish it." Gu Lai looked back at the cabin again, and after Honglian nodded in agreement, she picked up her bag and went road.
