husband from hell

Chapter 108 Blood Stained Wedding Dress

"It's not the same." The old man looked at the mirror, showed a wry smile, and said, "Originally, the power of the mirror was combined with our voodoo technique, allowing the power of the mirror to reach us, thereby allowing us to To continue life, but who knows, the person guarding the mirror has evil thoughts about the power in the mirror.

He wanted to monopolize the mirror, so he cast a spell on the mirror, trying to absorb all the power in the mirror into himself, but somehow, the mirror reversed and swallowed him went in. "

"Swallow?" The photographer tremblingly looked at the small mirror: "Can it still be like this?"

The old man didn't reply, but said to himself: "Since that day, the mirror has changed from outputting power to inhaling power. All people are used by the mirror and trapped by the invisible filaments. The meaning of our existence is unexpectedly Become a cormorant doing things for the mirror."

Of course I know about cormorants. It is a living tool for fishing. When a fisherman raises cormorants, he will throw them into the river. Reward" to cormorants.

To put it bluntly, he was like his own slave, giving the villagers a youthful youth forever, and the wool came from the sheep.

It turned out that we had misunderstood it before, thinking that the villagers were willing to perform magic tricks with that mirror because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and loved their youth. Unexpectedly, there was also this reason...

Longevity... Longevity... Even if it only has a small part of the power of Changsheng, can it be the same as Changsheng, which can seduce people's hearts?

"People with weaknesses will be seduced by longevity." Cheng Ke said: "In that mirror, there is originally the opposite longevity. In addition, the person who sucks in will also pollute the power inside."

The person who sucked it in had the word greed, so he transmitted greed to the mirror.

"This is the second disaster in the village following the backlash of longevity Gu." The old man said in a daze, "every July, everyone must donate enough life qi, and if they don't have enough life qi, they will be sucked by the mirror." Fuck, the people in the village started to kill each other, some to protect themselves, some to protect their loved ones, willing to sacrifice their anger to those around them... just like my mother."

Mother died for herself, so this life is precious, no matter what, it must continue, because as long as she lives, it is equivalent to mother being with herself.

I can guess, in order to continue to live, to continue to live for the hope of the family, what else can I do?
The life in the village is gone, but the mirror is still like a bottomless pit that eats up life every year, so it has to be brought in from outside.

Eat it once a year... I remembered what my second grandfather said, in Xichuan, people often die, and the body can't be found.

Yes, the door is only opened in July of a year, and it is sealed off from the world at other times. Of course, no one can find it here, so it can only leave behind the legend of this place.

"By the way...that old woman!" The director suddenly remembered the deaf-mute old woman, and quickly asked, "Why didn't she become like you and become like you?"

"Because she is not from our Changsheng Town." The old man took a breath, and continued: "60 years ago, she and her family were also brought into the village in July. Her family was sucked dry, she was still a baby at the time, she was not very angry, rather than being sucked dry, she might as well stay here and help us be a bait to attract people."

"In order not to let her tell your secret," I guessed in my heart: "You made her deaf?"

"Hahahaha..." The old man laughed, and tears came out of the laughter: "It's cruel, isn't it? But, if people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy it."

"So, she grew up here..." the photographer couldn't help asking: "But, how did she know how to sign language?"

"It's ridiculous to say that," the old man said with half-closed eyes, "Later... she was able to date a man who strayed into the village."

"What?" The photographer's eyes widened: "The old woman can still find a man?"

"Are you stupid?" the director said: "Who has never been young in this life, and who will not be old in this life! But... this time, we didn't see any man, and now... dead?"

I remembered the black hair under the pillow mat, and the young woman in the toilet: "Is... that weird human Gu in the vat, right? Did they have a daughter after they got married?"

"Are you sure you've drained the anger of the two of them?" The photographer also guessed: "No wonder the old lady hates you so much, because protecting us strangers can starve you to death."

"That's right." The old man showed a complicated smile: "The two of them got married and had a daughter. A family of three, they stayed here honestly. It would be good for us to attract people, but it's a pity. ... That daughter, because of those outsiders every year, has become interested in the outside world and wants to leave. Tell me, can you leave?"

"So, you caught up with that daughter and sucked her dry..." The editor and director twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally: "It's hard enough."

"Yeah, people are not ruthless, and they can't stand firmly." The old man breathed out: "She is not dead, if the news spreads, if there are a lot of ghost-raisers who are looking for longevity, then we will die. The old man saw us and chased him." In the past, in order to protect her daughter, she was also sucked dry, she hated us, and she hated us for a reason."

"Anyone who changes it will hate you." The photographer couldn't help but said, "How many people have you ruined..."

"Who wants things to be like this?" The old man looked completely resigned: "But who can blame this?"

"So, that strange thing in the tank is..." The photographer shuddered: "Could it be..."

"That thing is called Living Human Gu. It uses corpses to nourish trees, and then uses the pieces of flesh produced by trees to feed the things in the tank." The director took a breath and said, "It can take people's corpses with people's souls." , continue to exist, but the old woman seems to have not been able to raise the human gu to the end, I thought at the time that she deliberately harmed people to feed the human gu, but unexpectedly, that person was actually her own old man."

In the deserted village, the only two family members died unexpectedly. Who would have imagined that kind of loneliness?It is conceivable that I want this kind of remedy to accompany myself.

Old lady, there must be no way to get out of here... I grew up here since I was a child, and I am already so old, how can I adapt to the life outside...

Only then did the body of the old man remain, and he was raised in the tank to accompany him.

And that night, in order to protect us, she would rather release the old man's Living Gu to fight against those boys and girls.

How much hatred, how much loneliness, she wants revenge, and this is the only way to protect outsiders.

And that young woman's soul, isn't it, the living human Gu that has already been refined!Probably before long, the old man will be able to live by the old woman's side again in that attitude!
"Grandma, you guys have hurt me so badly..." The photographer couldn't help but said, "Simply, it's so miserable!"

"You blame us, who do we blame?" The old man closed his eyes and murmured, "No one here is having a good time, how do you know?"

Yeah...who can blame...

Blame calamus?Blame longevity?Blame the first person who became greedy for that mirror?Even if it's weird, what's the use.

"Let's go, the matter seems to be over." The old man said, "Whether it's joy or sorrow, it's all over."

"We'll take you out!" The director thought for a while, then made a decision that seemed quite important, and said, "You've lived for so many years, and it's a living cultural relic left over from history. Sending you out, you will definitely be able to treat me well." Make a contribution to the motherland!"

"Contribution..." The old man said in a daze: "What contribution can I make... The village is all over, and I am all over..."

"Let's go out and talk..." The director put the old man on his back first, and said, "Didn't you just see the sun for a long time? The mirror was broken by an expert, so that you can watch the sunrise again." Sunset, dawn and dusk..."

I looked back at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke was still holding the mirror in his transparent hand, but the lock was gone.

He was a little lost in thought, but when he saw me looking at him, he still curled his thin lips and said, "Let's go."

The director and photographer led the old man to the front. I looked at Cheng Ke and said, "Calamus came to this place and left behind a mirror that reflected Changsheng. It can't be a coincidence."

Cheng Ke's eyes swept down: "Huh?"

"I mean." I seemed to be holding a breath in my chest, and I was a little anxious: "Calamus doesn't know that longevity can seduce people's greed, let alone how much destruction it will bring. power, but she still did it and left that mirror here..."

"You mean, so many things that happened in this village today are caused by calamus?" Cheng Ke didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't speak seriously, but for some reason, his whole person suddenly felt like It was so cold that I couldn't help but get cold too.

"It happened so long ago," I paused, and continued: "I didn't see it, and of course I don't have any evidence, but the timing of the calamus appearing is also very coincidental, why, it was the local longevity Gu that counterattacked When? Now, the people in the village don't know why the longevity Gu will backfire..."

Cheng Ke interrupted me for the first time, looking at me with a pair of peach blossoms and big eyes: "What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is..." I pursed my lips and said, "Did Calamus just hope that there was only her own immortality in the world? And other immortality techniques, if they don't exist, they don't exist, so If so, longevity is unique..."

That's right, I just think, maybe, it was Calamus who ruined the village with the help of the mirror that has reflected the longevity!As for the backlash of the longevity Gu technique before, who knows if it has anything to do with her!
I also know that these words sound like jealousy and slander, but I have a vague feeling that maybe Calamus is not the kind person I imagined before

Or maybe, Calamus had some unspeakable secrets about Calamus at that time, didn't the old man say it?Calamus came here alone, claiming that he was going here to find something...

Things, can we start from here...

But these speculations, for some reason, I couldn't say them in front of Cheng Ke.

What kind of person does he think of me as?

Cheng Ke looked at me earnestly and patiently with those big peach blossom eyes, but didn't say anything, just turned around and went out along that road.

He... This time, he didn't come to hold my hand first.

That back is chic and absolute.

What else could it be?

I followed up laughing at myself, that person is Calamus, how could I doubt such a perfect existence in front of Cheng Ke?

Even if Cheng Ke is unhappy, there is a reason why he is unhappy. Even if no one is perfect, Calamus is.

I chased after him, looked at Cheng Ke's translucent arm, and felt a little uneasy, so I had to ask, "Do you want it, I..."

"fine."

It was just a faint sentence, without any tone, and he didn't even turn his head.

Are you messing around with yourself again?Calamus, that piece of inverse scales on his body, no one can touch it, no one can touch it.

Even if, he wasn't sure, he didn't remember.

I didn't talk all the way, the soles of my feet were deep and shallow, I stumbled, and I actually felt that walking was much more difficult than when I came here.

Following the traces left by the meat turtle shell when I came here, I followed them out of the intricate tunnel entrance. The cellar boards were still tightly closed. The photographer quickly took a shelf used to support equipment, and put the top board It was propped open.

It should be noon outside, and the ray of sunshine poured down warmly, shining on the hay all over the ground. Together with the sun, the sweet smell was washed away a lot, and the smell of hay was revealed. It makes people feel warm and cozy.

"That's great." The old man leaning against the choreographer, bathed in the sunshine, sighed with satisfaction, and smiled: "That's great..."

But at the same time, a lot of flames suddenly rose up from the old man's thin body, burning up all at once.

The director looked sideways, and saw that his back was on fire, and trembling with fright, the old man fell from the director's back to the ground, lying peacefully on the haystack under the sun, his eyes narrowed: "Before I die, if I can bask in the sun, I guess those immortals will also envy me..."

The flames on the old man ignited the dry grass, and they started to burn. The photographer stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded: "This, this...even if the mirror was cracked by the master, they still have..."

"Maybe, because of them, they shouldn't be people in the mortal world..." I looked at the old man who closed his eyes peacefully in the flames, and said, "In the end, in the end..."

"Okay, master, I think we'd better go out and talk about it!" The choreographer was afraid that the flames would burn his trousers, and jumped up to dodge like a rabbit. On the edge of the hole in the ground, like an athlete, he flipped up quickly and stretched out the shelf again: "Hurry up and grab it! Hurry up!"

Seeing this, the photographer quickly grabbed hold of it, and was dragged up by the director.

I looked back at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke didn't say a word, and suddenly came over and pressed my head on his cold chest: "Holding you here, it won't be so cold..."

Flames crackled and burned all around us, but I couldn't see or hear anything.

Even the smell of sandalwood on Cheng Ke's body has faded a lot...

"Let's look for the past together." Cheng Ke said in a low voice: "It's okay, as long as you are with me, I can forget things that I don't want to remember again after I remember them."

I don't know what to say, I just nodded heavily: "I know...I always knew, as long as we are together."

Cheng Ke gently stroked my head with his cold hand, and said, "I have a sense of proportion about the calamus. She will never come back again. I know it. You have always been there, and I know it too."

I was slightly taken aback. For the first time, he compared me with Calamus.

"So..." Cheng Ke's faint sandalwood breath permeated: "It's good to have you."

A heart trembled slightly, this kind of satisfaction was incomparable, like being poured in the drizzle in spring, warm, moist, full, full of hope.

"Two masters, come up quickly!" The voice of the director came from the entrance of the cave: "If you don't come up again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out!"

The temperature of the flames scorched Cheng Ke's side, allowing him to hug him for the first time, with this false warmth.

I can't bear to come out of his arms, I can't bear to.

"Let's go." Cheng Ke held my hand: "Let's do what we should do."

Amidst the rapidly burning flames, Cheng Ke's eyes were shining brightly, it was too beautiful to describe.

How lucky I am, and what's more, I'm unexpectedly relieved.

The mood that seemed to be floating all the time finally landed firmly on the ground.

very nice.

Out of the cave, the sunlight outside made people dazzled. Cheng Ke stood in front of me, trying to help me block the light, but unfortunately, he had no shadow.

"Oh, I really gained a lot this time!" The director and the cameraman flicked through the materials captured in the equipment: "Look, the program is edited, with both mystery and suspense, and it will definitely be a hit! The two of us are waiting for the bonus Bar!"

"It's a pity, if the fire goes down now, the whole cave will be destroyed, right?" The photographer looked at the furnace-like opening and said, "Boss, if the higher-ups ask us to get some physical evidence, we can't even get woolen wool." Come out!"

"With these video materials, it's enough." The director said: "It's just that when we go back, we need to edit it a little more mysteriously, otherwise, even if it's a real thing, it still lacks a sense of reality..."

The two chattered about work matters, while I looked at Cheng Ke's transparent arm and said worriedly, "Can you still bear it?"

"I'm fine," Cheng Ke lowered his head, and Qingyue's voice rang in my ear: "I have you."

Of course I knew what he meant. The sandalwood smell was like a feather, gently scratching my ears, making me shrink my neck: "Next time, don't..."

"Yes." Cheng Ke replied, "I see."

Hopefully, what he said is true.

"Oh, I waited for a long time, almost fell asleep, did you come out?"

A voice that I only heard once, but I will never forget for a lifetime, suddenly sounded close at hand.

My back felt cold, and I raised my head. Sure enough, Wei Qiancheng's slender figure was leaning lazily under a tree, stretching a long waist.

Then, he came over to us, squinting his red phoenix eyes, hooked his red lips, and his eyes fell on the mirror in Cheng Ke's hand, making a wicked smile: "It's been hard work, the relics of calamus are finally here. I took it out, and I thought about it, this is the only thing that is the closest to longevity in the world, and it just so happens that it is July again, and the seal of the village can finally be opened, you come and get it, it's just right."

As she spoke, the dimples on her cheeks deepened: "I just didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

Cheng Ke also raised his head and looked at the leisurely Wei Qiancheng who was walking under the shade of the tree. Under the dazzling light, his eyes narrowed and his pupils shrank hostilely.

I immediately understood: "Could it be that on the way we took Luo Weilan back to Luojia Village, did you do something to lure us here on purpose?"

"You're smart, talking like this is the easiest way." Wei Qiancheng nodded with satisfaction, walked out from under the shade of the tree, looked at us, and said, "The smell down here is not good. I came here once 100 years ago. I can't stand that." The smell left those ants-like things at the bottom to borrow the power of longevity to linger on, now you help me take it out, isn't it just a matter of the way!"

As he said that, facing Cheng Ke, he stretched out a white and bluish hand as if it was a matter of course: "Give it to me."

Not only did Cheng Ke have no expression on his face, but his body was also motionless, just staring at Wei Qiancheng: "Are you talking in your sleep in broad daylight?"

Wei Qiancheng was startled, then burst out laughing, narrowing his long and narrow Danfeng eyes: "Don't be brave, if you unlock the mirror technique, [-]% of your yin energy will be lost, and you won't be able to stand up even now. Do you still have the nerve to come and speak wild words to me?"

Then, the enchanting Danfeng looked at me: "Lu Qiao, now that your ghost is so weak, it may be too late to replenish his yin energy with the technique of yin and yang to control ghosts, so how about it?" , give me the mirror, and you follow me, I won’t hurt this ghost.”

Yes, if you bring us here, we will definitely come here to search for the traces of longevity. Cheng Ke will also do his best to get the mirror related to longevity. When Cheng Ke's Yin Qi is severely depleted, he will appear again at the right time In front of us, come to take advantage of others.

Not only is it ruthless, but also, it's downright obscene.

"If he can't compete with you, it's fine to die together." I looked at Wei Qiancheng: "Don't think that you are the sun of the world, and everything has to revolve around you."

"Do you know each other?" The director and the cameraman looked at each other, but in this tense atmosphere, it would only make people feel embarrassed, and there was no way to ask, and Wei Qiancheng was obviously a stubborn one. The two of them probably had an internal conflict If you want to solve it internally, you quickly said: "In this case, then...then we will go first..."

With that said, he packed up those equipment and was going to stay away from this place of right and wrong.

"Your friend?" Wei Qiancheng raised his red eyes, looked at the two people with great interest, and curled up his red lips: "However, it seems that they are not enough friends. Do you want me to teach them a little bit about how to behave?"

The cool words hadn't finished yet, suddenly the photographer and director's legs bent down involuntarily. I could tell that Wei Qiancheng wanted to break their legs!
My heart sank, knowing Wei Qiancheng's ruthlessness, I immediately stood in front of Wei Qiancheng: "What are you doing?"

"Oh!" Wei Qiancheng sighed exaggeratedly, and picked a finger on my chin with ease like last time: "For myself, my attitude is so hard, and for them, I actually came to throw myself in my arms." ..."

Cheng Ke's almost transparent arm immediately blocked Wei Qiancheng's hand, and his voice was chilling: "I advise you, it's good to know what is measured."

"What is propriety?" Wei Qiancheng still had a smile on his face, but it was a sharp and unscrupulous smile: "I only know that there is nothing in the world that I want to do but can't do. I want but can't get it." people."

As I said that, I just felt a force pass by my ear, and went towards Cheng Ke heavily!
Cheng Ke frowned, and when he resisted, he seemed to be struggling, and the degree of transparency on his body became heavier!
Seeing this scene, the cameraman and director hesitated for a moment, but still fled quickly with the equipment.

good to go...

I hurriedly stood in front of Cheng Ke, staring at Wei Qiancheng's phoenix eyes full of demonic aura: "What do you really want? Isn't it just looking for Changsheng from us? But Changsheng is not with us, you killed us, It's no use either."

Wei Qiancheng seemed not to want to hurt me, so he withdrew his hand with great interest, and said, "Oh? It's not with you? But before Calamus died, didn't he give his longevity to your ghost?"

"But because of my yin and yang technique of controlling ghosts, he has already forgotten what happened before." I said, "So even if you try hard to force it, it is of no use!"

"Are you feeling sorry for him?" Wei Qiancheng's eyes showed a trace of displeasure: "Still, it's the same as before..."

"I know you are talking about calamus." I raised my head and looked at him without fear: "Wei Changsheng."

"Oh, you still know my name?" Wei Qiancheng was startled for a while, then smiled with satisfaction: "Isn't it, you also have some residual memories? To tell you the truth, Calamus was with me. when……"

"I don't allow you to mention calamus again..." Cheng Ke's big peach eyes turned gloomy in an instant: "You don't deserve to mention him."

Not worthy...Could it be that Cheng Ke also remembered something about Wei Changsheng?
"Oh? I'm not worthy? So, you deserve it? That's right... You have formed the technique of yin and yang to control ghosts, and you want to throw away all those memories? This kind of evasion is not your style!"

And Wei Qiancheng looked at Cheng Ke's expression, obviously revealing a dangerous look: "Well, let me help you remember, you carefully recall the memories, and who did she die for? She Whose blood is dripping on that red wedding dress?"

Cheng Ke's handsome face suddenly changed color!

That's right... I remember, Cheng Ke said, he doesn't like red at all...

"Oh, what do you think we should do now?" Wei Qiancheng's eyes were sharp, and he could see the change in Cheng Ke all at once. With a hook of red lips, he continued to smile with that enchanting smile, and said, "You, I always like to persecute someone, I persecute him so tightly, do you know that some things are like sand, the tighter you hold them, the faster they slip? It’s like saying, why did Calamus stay with me back then... ..."

A strange feeling rose from behind me, and I turned around in horror, Cheng Ke's face was already slightly blue, completely, it looked like a ghost that made people tremble!
"Cheng Ke!"

That Yingying yin energy shone from Cheng Ke's already severely worn body, and the surrounding air seemed to be several degrees colder!
"Don't do this, he is taking advantage of your weakness and using aggressive tactics!" My heart jumped, and I quickly stopped in front of Cheng Ke: "In this case, you..."

Cheng Ke acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and just looked at Wei Qiancheng fiercely: "If you want to live and die, then it will be as you wish."

"Okay!" Wei Qiancheng obviously had his heart in his arms: "This is what I was waiting for! A hundred years ago, you couldn't compete with me, and a hundred years later, I think the result will still be the same!"

Cheng Ke is usually a calm and calm person, but when he encounters something related to Calamus, he is just like a bloody boy!
I have always known how deeply Calamus is in his heart...

Then Wei Qiancheng raised his hand, nodded, and said, "For the sake of your conscience towards Calamus, I will be a good person and tell you more about the person that Calamus was going to marry back then. , do you remember who it is? Let me remind you, it is..."

But before Wei Qiancheng finished speaking, Cheng Ke raised his slender hands first, and a dazzling light flashed past, aiming at Wei Qiancheng's monstrous face!
Wei Qiancheng turned his head sideways, dodged the past, stared at Cheng Ke's increasingly transparent body contentedly, and smiled like a cat that caught a mouse: "I really miss you, I'll wait for you to wake up, wait It's been a long time..."

As he said that, his slender hands also flew up, and then pressed down on the ground.

"Flop..." On the ground, a lot of black shadows suddenly sprang out, it was the ghost array that Ah Jiu usually used!

Wei Qiancheng is not from the Yang family, why would he...
