The witch looks at her moves

Chapter 42 Tomb of Eternity
  Xia Ru fainted?

How is this going?

In the last scene, Xia Ru was clearly still awake. She stared at him with charming eyes, her slender white arms were entangled, and the hot breath from her red lips was blowing along his neck...

Why did she pass out? What happened in the meantime? Yu Yue didn't do anything extraordinary, right?

As expected, this kind of thing spreads faster than anything else. After the Chinese teacher finished speaking, the students' reaction was not surprising, which showed that they had already known about it, and might even have discussed it in the class enthusiastically all night.

However, the most paradoxical thing is that the whole world knows this, but he is the only one who is confused!
  Under the gaze of his classmates, Su Zhen returned to his seat with a dull expression. As soon as he put down his schoolbag, the male classmate next to him came over and asked in a low voice:

"Su Zhen, you must be very lucky. I heard someone said that you carried Teacher Xia all the way down from upstairs. Are you being dishonest?"

"My leg is still injured, what can I do?" Su Zhen asked.

"My legs are injured and my hands are injured. If you have something to do, don't hide it. The more you hide it, the more suspicious it becomes." The classmate asked.

"Yes, Su Zhen, please tell everyone what happened yesterday." Other students also came over.

No matter what Yu Yue did, to Su Zhen, this was a big black pot that fell from the sky and was slapped on his forehead for no reason. Fortunately, no one in the materials room knew about the scene of Xia Ru seducing him, otherwise he might have detonated the lives of many classmates. nerve.

But why did Xia Ru do that? Did she get something dirty?
  Faced with a steady stream of questions from classmates, Su Zhen was so annoyed that she had no choice but to resort to moral attacks: "Teacher Xia is usually so kind to us, a good teacher, and dedicated to his responsibilities. It doesn't matter that you don't care about the teacher's safety. Why are you still doing this?" Dirty thoughts? How heartbreaking!”

"Su Zhen, stop pretending here. Every time you go to English class, you are so energetic. You keep staring at the teacher with your eyes straight. I haven't seen you take it so seriously in other classes."

The moral attacks were completely ineffective, and the classmates next to him sneered at Su Zhen's hypocrisy.

Su Zhen didn't participate in the English class at all, Yu Yue was all watching!
  But I have to say that Xia Ru's dress yesterday was indeed beautiful. It was obviously just a normal teacher's uniform, but her proud figure gave it a different charm, especially her black stockings, which seemed to be the same, but if you look carefully , you will find that they are different in thickness and texture. The only thing in common is that they all fit extremely well and perfectly outline the shape of the legs without a trace of wrinkles.

Even if the Buddha passes by, he probably has to look at it a few times.

Fortunately, Su Zhen changed his body in time and did not let his morality endure a longer test.

"That's right, and we are all worried about the teacher. Isn't this safe?" The students came aggressively.

Su Zhen had no choice but to put on an upright and awe-inspiring attitude and said: "When the teacher fainted, I was worried that it was broken and I didn't have a mobile phone. I just wanted to find other people to help me take him to the hospital for medical treatment. I couldn't waste a moment, so I didn't have time to think about leaving." ? This is not a messy plot like an urban novel, so don’t think too much about it."

But the atmosphere in this high school is really unhealthy. Su Zhen's words fell on deaf ears, and some classmates even sneered:

"Fainted? It's not that serious. I heard that Teacher Xia didn't faint. After you went downstairs, Teacher Xia asked you for water. A passing classmate took a video."

ah? Not completely passed out? Su Zhen felt a little dizzy.

"Su Zhen, I believed you originally, but are you trying to hide it by fabricating the truth like this? You're not really taking advantage of the teacher, are you?"

"That's right, you still want to lie to people. I wonder if anyone will believe you."

The classmates who were still skeptical at first changed their sides one after another, believing that Su Zhen was a bad student who took advantage of others, with eyes full of hatred, whether out of morality or jealousy.

"I believe Su Zhen."

Shao Xiaoxiao's voice sounded behind him. It was extremely pleasant, like glass beads hitting porcelain, easily overpowering the noisy sounds of crusade.

The male classmates were even more distressed when they saw Shao Xiaoxiao speaking for him, and they all advised the class beauty not to misunderstand people. This guy looks honest on the outside, but he is actually very bad. It would be better to cut ties with him as soon as possible.

Shao Xiaoxiao ignored them, just stared at Su Zhen without saying a word with a puffy face.

Su Zhen was stared at very nervously and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"

Shao Xiaoxiao knocked on the booklet in her hand and said word by word: "Hand in, homework!"

"oh oh."

Su Zhen woke up from a dream and hurriedly rummaged through his schoolbag. For him, homework was also a part of the lottery. Whether he wrote it or not all depended on Yu Yue's mood. He quickly found his homework and secretly opened it and took a look. It was white.

Yu Yue is really unreliable.

Shao Xiaoxiao understood as soon as she saw Su Zhen's expression. She sighed and said softly: "Please complete it before the end of self-study and give it to me."

Shao Xiaoxiao returned empty-handed and returned to his seat.

Although he didn't look away, Su Zhen clearly felt that the hatred around him had doubled again.

----

"What happened to Teacher Xia Ru last night? Why did it happen suddenly?"

When exchanging bodies today, Su Zhen asked Yu Yue this question.

"Didn't the doctor say it's hypoglycemia?" Yu Yue said casually.

"Hypoglycemia? Hypoglycemia can also cause... um, abnormal desires?" Su Zhen didn't believe it at all and said suspiciously: "Godmother, isn't it your fault?"

"What the hell am I doing? What the hell am I doing? I am the ghost of justice, and I look down on those evil heretics the most."

Yu Yue's attitude was firm and she added: "Besides, why is this desire abnormal? Xia Ru is also a daughter in her twenties. She has never been in love. Although she looks cold and cold on the outside, she may be feeling empty and lonely inside. Well, I see, you are so charming that you charmed her."

"Godmother, do you believe this?" Su Zhen sighed helplessly and said, "How do you know she has never been in love?"

"I just know it." Yu Yue said confidently.

"..."

Su Zhen felt that Yu Yue was even more suspicious.

However, Yu Yue's attitude was as docile as ever, and he couldn't ask anything.

After witnessing too many chaotic forces and chaos, Su Zhen couldn't help but think wildly. The more he thought about Xia Ru, the more strange he felt.

With Xia Ru's beauty that brought trouble to the world, it was considered a legend in Nantang County. However, he had lived for so long and never heard anyone discussing this figure. Moreover, with Xia Ru's education and talents, how could he Going back to Nantang to teach?
  Did she come back for her sister?
  If she really cared about her sister that much, why didn't she show up for the entire nine years before?
  Could it be that after the flood, she moved to another city?

flood……

Su Zhen suddenly remembered something.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but a week before the flash flood, my sister wrote this in her weekly diary: Water can wash away the dirt on your hands, and it can also wash away human life. I like its gentleness, but I hate it. violent.

The teacher circled the wavy line below with a red pen to prove that it was a good word and sentence.

Su Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she had an extremely unrealistic idea: Did her sister predict that flash flood?
  Weirdness spreads silently, and the world pretends to be calm and steady, but in fact it has already been undercurrents, and even those tragedies and sufferings become unfamiliar when looking back.

The smell of the medicinal soup stimulates the nasal cavity.

Su Zhen's consciousness woke up in the cave.

The difference from the past was that today, he didn't feel any pain. Not only did he not feel any pain, he even understood what "reborn" meant!
  Between his bones and flesh, thousands of slender air currents circulated and flowed, crushing all the turbid and heavy air in his body. This was supposed to be a process of burning the skin and removing the bones, but it was unexpectedly comfortable and even swaying. feeling.

It's as if the evil dragon has been writhing in the ghost swamp of the sea of ​​​​hell for thousands of years, and finally sheds its scales and ascends to the dragon.

He didn't know if it was a hallucination, but vaguely, he saw a woman with red hair and black clothes standing in front of him on the left. She had her eyes closed, standing tall, her hands in a clasping posture, but she seemed to be in deep sleep. .

He wanted to see clearly and opened his eyes suddenly.

There was no woman or shadow in front of him. He was still in the cave. In front of him was only Grandma Miao sitting kindly, with more than ten hands blooming like lotus flowers.

"This is the last day. Even I didn't expect that this little girl like you could survive it. Yu Yue, congratulations on entering a new realm."

A new realm?
  Su Zhen stretched his fists and legs. He couldn't tell what was different. He only felt more agile than ever before.

He also knew that it was not entirely his fault that he was able to survive. If Yu Yue hadn't gone through a lot of medicine preparation for him, he would have suffered a nervous breakdown under such inhuman torture.

After walking out of the cave, Su Zhen saw Feng Hua among the grass.

Fenghua was sitting on the stone, looking into the distance.

Laojun's light was already thin after penetrating the mountain mist. It shone on her spotless face, glowing with hazy beauty. The blood and killing disappeared from her body. She was like a girl next door, enjoying the early morning breeze. Bright, looking forward to tomorrow's life.

Ironically, for Feng Hua, this period of time was actually the most leisurely period of her life.

Apart from helping Su Zhen practice martial arts, she spent time alone, recalling this absurd life, the people she had killed in the past, and her hatred for Lu Qi.

For Su Zhen, Shao Xiaoxiao is a collection of his beautiful fantasies about the real world. She is young, beautiful, and has a cute personality. She is like a beam of light that is not afraid of wind and rain, and has the power to heal everything. Fenghua is the epitome of this weird world. She lived a rough life in deception, strong but disabled. After falling into the old craftsman's house, she did not even give up on herself and blame her fate. In her opinion, suffering is the most common thing in Xijing Kingdom.

During this short period of time, Shao Xiaoxiao and Feng Hua appeared alternately in his life, supporting him to persist until now.

Feng Hua heard the noise.

When she turned her head, the leisurely look on her face had disappeared, as if it had never been there.

To Su Zhen, Feng Hua was more like a cool official than a teacher, but she never felt there was anything wrong with this. She told Su Zhen that in some places, the killer had to kill all the companions who had practiced swordplay together since childhood. Master, this is proof of their ruthlessness.

When Su Zhen saw Feng Hua, his body tensed up like a conditioned reflex, making a gesture to meet the enemy.

Feng Hua's attack came almost at the same time. She moved very fast. Where the gray afterimage flew past, the tall grass was affected by the air waves and spread to both sides.

Su Zhen was no longer what he used to be. When Fenghua Fist reached his face, he accurately blocked the opponent's moves and counterattacked. The sound of the fists and elbows colliding made the stone cliffs fly apart and grass clippings dance wildly. The cat, whose sleep was disturbed, moved away and meowed at the two of them, full of accusations.

After fighting hundreds of moves, Su Zhen was still kicked by Feng Hua with her hands on the ground, and was thrown onto the cliff.

But he didn't fall.

Although the chest was pressed by millions of kilograms of force, there was no longer that heartbreaking pain.

This is the result of practice and the reward of suffering during this period.

"It's getting better and better."

After Feng Hua praised her, she said thoughtfully: "It seems I have to get serious with you."

"Seriously?" Su Zhen's heart tightened suddenly, thinking that it was just a joke before, and Feng Hua didn't use all his strength at all?
  His bones ached.

The ice and snow melted on Feng Hua's face, she smiled and said: "I'm lying to you, I didn't hold back my strength just now, you took it very well. If someone told me half a month ago that you, a girl, could improve to this level, I would I will never believe it, but you did it, you are truly a rare freak in the world."

"With a teacher like Miss Fenghua, it would be difficult for me not to make progress." Su Zhen was humble and grateful.

"You'd better thank Grandma Miao. She really spent a lot of money. There are countless treasures in the medicine bucket. Even Qinglu Palace, which is famous for its wealth, would have scolded her for being extravagant." Feng Hua explain.

"Grandma really treated me very well." Su Zhen said.

Su Zhen still hasn't figured out the reason for this kindness.

"Do you want to continue practicing?" Su Zhen asked.

"No need, this is all I can teach you. Any further practice will be more like fooling around and won't help you," Feng Hua said.

"Where are your sword skills?" Su Zhen asked.

"Sword skills? That's my most common thing." Feng Hua said.

"ordinary?"

"Well, killing people often does not require gorgeous sword skills. If you want to assassinate an emperor who lives deep in the palace, what you really want to think about is how to bypass the guards and sneak into the palace. When you can quietly appear in front of him when he is sleeping, Is swordsmanship still meaningful next to me? I have never deliberately practiced swordsmanship, the sword is just a handy weapon." Feng Hua said.

Su Zhen nodded thoughtfully.

Afterwards, Su Zhen returned to the cave, and Grandma Miao asked him about today's practice. After Su Zhen answered truthfully, he was laughed at by Grandma Miao:

"Don't listen to that little girl Fenghua's nonsense. The reason why she has such an idea is just because she is too weak. As long as you are strong enough, you can massacre all the way from the border of the city to the palace gate. You can trample on his The king's chair, plundering his wealth, and abusing his concubines, such things have long been rare in the past. The killer wants to use the weak to conquer the strong, but Yu Yue, don't think like this, your talent is enough for you to become a peerless immortal. , rather than an assassin hiding darkness.”

Grandma Miao's mother showed a rare expression of excitement, and wrinkles were distorted on her face. At a certain moment, Su Zhen even felt that tears were about to fall from her old eyes.

He didn't understand where Grandma Miao's emotions came from, let alone...

"Grandma, am I not a mortal person? What does what you said mean to me?" Su Zhen hoped that Grandma Miao's mother could reveal something.

The emotion quickly faded from Grandma Miao's face, and she remained tight-lipped, "Yu Yue, if you want to practice more advanced martial arts, you can go to the Ghost Che Tower, which is where the old craftsman's scriptures are collected. You can choose whatever you like from all the martial arts secrets that have been learned by the old craftsman for thousands of years."

Let him choose from thousands of years of secrets?
  In the martial arts novels Su Zhen had read, the protagonists were often the masters of hundreds of martial arts schools. They were involved in all the powerful martial arts schools, but they didn't have thousands of years of martial arts to choose from. What kind of script was this?
  "But grandma, just like how I practice soul arts, even if I get powerful secret books, I won't have enough time to practice them, right?" Su Zhen asked.

"There are many ways to practice secrets, and decades of hard training is just one of them." Grandma Miao said, "Don't forget, I am a tailor, one of the best tailors among the old craftsmen."

Su Zhen quickly guessed something, "Do you want to..."

"so smart."

Grandma Miao's mother said: "I will sew the secret book into your body. It didn't work in the past because your soul was too weak. Now that you have mastered your soul skills, you can carry needles and threads. But you have to choose carefully, because I can only give you You sew in one.

Go ahead and take this to the Ghost Car Tower. My junior brother is now responsible for guarding the ancient tower. He will let you go. "

A purple hand appeared above Su Zhen's head, holding the messy embroidery between her thumb and index finger. Su Zhen silently took it and thanked her grandma.

Su Zhen and Feng Hua left together and went to the Ghost Car Tower.

"Ghost Car Tower? How long has it been since this place was visited? What is Grandma Miao doing?"

The boy who was guarding outside the stream day and night looked at each other and muttered in confusion.

"To cure the disease." Feng Hua said.

"Cure? Gui Che Pagoda is the place where Tibetan martial arts are learned. If you want to seek medical skills, you should go to Bawang Pagoda." The boy said.

"She is a sorcerer. She suffers from an unimaginable disease that cannot be cured by external medicine. She must practice domineering martial arts on her own in order to crush the demon in her body. This is the last step in the treatment. Grandma Miao's mother ordered that it will not be cured for a moment. There must be no delay, otherwise all the previous treatment efforts will be wasted, and the physical body may become demonized, causing this extremely precious Taisha body to rot directly into mud." Feng Hua said solemnly.

The boy was still hesitating, so Fenghua put on a straight face and said, "Do you know medical skills, or does Grandma Miao know medical skills?"

When the boy heard this, he didn't dare to be negligent at all. After this witch sword was made, the black ape master they followed could take them to ascend to heaven. If something went wrong, they might have to wait another ten or twenty years.

"It's a long way to the Ghost Car Tower. It takes about three days and nights on foot. I'll take you to Gutan and take a snake ferry. It will take you half a day to get there." The boy said.

Following the stream and passing through the long and winding mountain road, Su Zhen saw the valley beach that the boy mentioned.

It was a lake as quiet as emerald. The gently rising lake water reflected the surrounding mountains. The white water flowed out from the cracks in the mountain wall and gathered here. There were about thirty streams of water. They looked from a distance. Although they appear slender, they are actually dozens of feet wide.

This should have been a beautiful scenery, but when it fell in the old craftsman's place, it had a lingering air of death. Su Zhen knew that this river valley was so huge, but there were not even small fish or shrimps in it. It was a real Still water.

At this time.

The boy took out a bone flute as long as his index finger, put it to his lips and played.

The sound of the flute floated far away, and the calm lake water began to rotate, forming a deep whirlpool.

In the center of the whirlpool, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared. The black shadow was a living thing, rolling in the sudden rapids of the water, arching its back covered with dark green scales. This was the crossing snake that the children said, and it was more than ten meters long. of giant python.

When it really emerged from the water, Su Zhen discovered that it was not a living python. It had no head, instead it had an iron cone-shaped spike. When it raised its head, the cone-shaped spikes stacked up like lotus flowers. The ground unfolded, revealing the spiral paddles hidden deep inside.

There is a black hose in the center of the blade, which seems to be the mouthpart of a giant python. It sticks its head into the water and sucks in a large amount of lake water. It boils in the snake's body, and clouds of steam spray thin on the lake surface in a spiral shape. The paddles began to rotate, and they cut through the lake water, driving the python's body.

"Go up." The boy said.

The giant python swam in front of me.

Feng Hua led Su Zhen and jumped onto the python's back, holding on to the scales which were bigger than a palm.

"What is this?" Su Zhen felt that the snake looked like a headless horse.

"The old craftsman has numerous craftsmen who create strange and strange things. Living things cannot stay in this cursed place, so he uses his superb craftsmanship to refine living corpses. They can move like living things, but they cannot eat and can only rely on burning the ground." Oil to drive." Fenghua said.

"Jiyou?"

Su Zhen thought of what he poured into the horse's neck, and thought that it was somewhat similar to oil. How could these living creatures also run on steam and oil?
  The flying paddles roared, and the snake head that entered the water cut through the waves and rushed into the river through the cracks in the mountain wall.

The water surged, and broken jade flew into the snow.

The scenery of Laojiangsuo retreats rapidly on both sides. It may be precipitous and beautiful, or ghostly, or vast and chaotic. When the sky is just right, you can even see a corner of the sky that is about to turn into a sky, scattering magnificent rainbow light. After about three hours, the front is Suddenly, countless towering ancient trees that had died suddenly appeared. They stood on both sides of the bank, and their branches like ghost hands stretched out to cover the top of the head.

Light leaked from the gaps, beam after beam, extremely bright.

Su Zhen seemed to have entered an abandoned world, a deserted place filled with ancient secrets.

The water gradually slowed down.

After crossing the snake and stopping at the shore, Su Zhen raised his head and saw the Ghost Car Tower.

It is not a tower in the popular sense, but an extremely tall corpse.

This towering ancient forest is a natural execution ground. Its body, nine heads, and wings were pierced together. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Su Zhen would never have been able to imagine that there was such a huge life in the world, let alone that it could also be killed. . Its death state was forever fixed in this remote and silent ancient place, becoming stiff and withered over the long years.

"This is the Ghost Car Fairy, a great demon flying out of the highest sea. It has nine heads with different magical powers and knows the past, present and future. More than five thousand years ago, it was defeated by the Carpenter God, pierced eight heads, and killed it. It is the only One escaped through the dark river and disappeared without a trace. The craftsmen hollowed out the internal organs of its body and built this building for collecting books. After the civil strife among the craftsmen two thousand years ago, the Ghost Car Tower was regarded as a forbidden place. Someone is visiting? Who are you and why are you here?"

Someone is talking.

Su Zhen only heard voices but didn't see anyone. It wasn't that the man was pretending to be mysterious, but that he was too short.

He was standing beside the wooden pile talking, but he was shorter than the wooden pile, like a five or six-year-old boy.

"Grandma Miao asked us to come."

Feng Hua said: "She asked us to find her junior brother, can you take me to see him?"

"Grandma Miao? You mean Senior Sister Qiyue? I haven't seen her for more than two hundred and twenty years, but she is still alive."

A surprised expression flashed across the little boy's body, and he said in an old-fashioned tone: "I am the person you are looking for. You can call me Xu Yan."

"Are you Grandma Miao's junior brother?" Feng Hua frowned.

"Yes, these are my newly sewn clothes, are they beautiful?" Xu Yan opened his arms and turned around.

His clothes were white and featureless. The clothes he was talking about were obviously not the clothes, but the short and immature body. When he showed off to Su Zhen and Feng Hua, his face was filled with childlike innocence, and his eyes were But it's like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.

He is also a tailor, so this body was probably made by him stitch by stitch!
  Grandma Miao's mother could only sew the soul of a cat into a doll. This person named Xu Yan could actually sew his soul into a leather doll. Is he much better than Grandma Miao's mother?
  "Ingenious workmanship." Su Zhen praised sincerely.

"What a sensible boy."

Xu Yan smiled and asked, "You didn't come empty-handed, right?"

Su Zhen handed him Grandma Miao's embroidered silk handkerchief.

Xu Yan took it and glanced at it. The innocence of the child was completely gone. His face was as serious as reading his own death sentence.

After a long time, Xu Yan put away the silk handkerchief and said, "Come with me."

Su Zhen followed Xu Yan and stepped on the withered corpse into the ghost carriage tower.

The moment he entered the demon king's corpse, a wave of hatred emerged from the bottom of Su Zhen's heart, just like the time when Lu Qi burned the Bodhisattva statue. He knew clearly that this was not his emotion, but he could not help but empathize with it.

Is this Yu Yue's emotion?

What kind of past does that seemingly heartless girl have?
  The hatred came violently and left without a trace, and his heart quickly returned to calm.

Raising his head, there were countless letters piled up in front of him. Each of them might be the result of a master's lifetime efforts. Before Su Zhen could read their contents, he already felt the chill that surrounded him. The spirit is swaying and erratic, making it difficult to settle down.

"This is the tomb of Taoism in the world." Xu Yan said.
