husband from hell

Chapter 269
Cheng Ke lowered his head slightly, gritted his teeth, still refused to let go of me with one hand, and grabbed the iron hook with the other, trying to pull it out of himself.

But it is very obvious that the iron hook must have some extraordinary power, even if Cheng Ke's slender fingers are very strong, they cannot be pulled out at all.

The iron hook sank deeply into his body, getting deeper and deeper, it hurts just looking at it!

The yin energy was draining quickly, Cheng Ke frowned, obviously, his body gradually became transparent at a speed visible to the eyes!
Of course it was a terrible omen!
He frowned, and suddenly Taohua lowered his big eyes, stared at me, and said seriously: "The exit is in front of you, you go first, close your eyes, and just rush out. I can block here for a while!"

Saying that, the arm stretched out and let me go: "Remember, don't look back! Otherwise, you will never go back!"

I landed on the ground neatly, there was snow at the gate of hell, and it was rustling under my step.

"Catch it! Catch it!"

Those ghosts shouted, as if they saw some wonderful prey, and they were salivating with joy:

"Put the frying pan on!"

I didn't look back, my face was facing the exit, and Cheng Ke's sharp voice sounded behind me: "Go out!"

"Not at all."

"Lu Qiao, this is not the time to hesitate!" Cheng Ke's voice was extremely annoyed: "Listen to me!"

Clenched his palms: "You just finished talking, go out and go out together, the worst is just going to hell together! No matter what, let's go out together."

"Lu Qiao!"

I bit down on my wrist.

It may be because it is too cold, so it is numb from the cold, and there is no pain at all.

Warm blood soon flowed on the palm, which was very warm.

"you……"

I turned my head, Cheng Ke's big peach eyes looked at me, and suddenly shrank: "Do you want to..."

The red-stained palm rested on the black iron hook, as if it had touched a piece of eternal ice.

It's so cold...it's so cold that it can freeze people, I've never touched anything so cold.

Originally, the iron hook was firmly buckled, but it was slightly relaxed when touched by the Scarlet Blood Curse.

"Keep her off that hook!"

At the same time, more hooks slid over like a gust of rain with the sound of breaking wind.

I held my breath and concentrated on those iron hooks that almost brushed against my scalp. I tried again, like pulling out a carrot. The hook that hooked Cheng Ke was pulled out by me.

"Chi..." On Cheng Ke's thin shoulders, there is now a hollow that is radiating cold air.

The iron hook fell to the ground, and with a sound of "Ding...", Cheng Ke glanced at it and pursed his thin lips.

I can feel it getting colder and colder around me.

I saw a lot of figures, like the dark clouds before the summer storm, quickly gathered around us.

It was the scariest sight I had ever seen in my life.

"What are you looking at?" Cheng Ke suddenly pushed my body forward: "Run!"

But it was too late, as if suddenly a lot of things rose up from the ground, tearing at us, Cheng Ke pushed me out forcefully, but my legs and feet were all grasped by that thing, as if I had fallen into a swamp, Can't pull it out at all!

Squeezing the wound and shaking the blood with all his strength, those things holding the legs and feet let out a scream like being scalded, and retreated like a tide. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Ke was like a bow and arrow , hugged me and rushed towards that opening, and seeing that the originally vast space suddenly seemed like a whirlpool, slowly shrinking, my scalp went numb all of a sudden, time was running out, the gate of hell was about to close up!

Getting smaller and smaller... smaller and smaller... from the size of the door, to the size of the bedroom door, and still shrinking...

Then, because of the large number of Yin spirits, the Red Blood Curse could not be spread at all, and many strange things began to spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, trying to drag us down. I felt cold and couldn't help but look at Cheng Ke At a glance, really, can't you get out...

"Close your eyes," Cheng Ke said suddenly, "Don't be afraid."

What are you afraid of? At this point, fear is useless!
Together, that's enough.

"You don't want to run!"

"The ghost gate is about to close!"

"Stop! Stop!"

"Live well." Suddenly, a soft and beautiful voice that was incompatible with those terrible voices said: "Be sure to live well."

I was stunned for a moment, who is this voice?

But it was too late to think about it, seeing that the vortex was about to close, and the blocking force in front of us and behind us was getting bigger and bigger!
Just when the vortex was about to completely close in front of us, suddenly there seemed to be a force pushing us from behind. The force was very strong. With the help of that force, Cheng Ke and I actually went from a place that was no bigger than the mouth of the washing machine. In so many gaps, it really rushed out.

Of course, there were countless arms stretched out from behind, trying to catch us, but at the last moment when the vortex closed, they were severed.

A few stumps fell to the ground before our eyes, and when the morning wind blew, they turned into flying ash and drifted away, as if they had never appeared before.

As for the sky, although it was still covered with leaden gray clouds, there was a little light in the east.

Cheng Ke and I are standing at a crossroads.

This intersection is very large, and the corners are full of black ash from burning paper ingots.

It seems that many people spent the cold clothes festival here yesterday.

"Shushua..." Looking over, there are already sanitation workers working hard to clear the snow in the distance.

This is still the villa area, stepping on the asphalt road in the world, looking back, the ghost gate just now has completely disappeared, and now I only see a long white road covered with snow.

The sky and the earth are still vast, and large flakes of snow are still falling like goose feathers.

The snow scene is beautiful, and the world is even more beautiful.

came back.

The feeling of surviving after a catastrophe actually makes people want to scream out loud.

It was like a nightmare, just waking up.

Cheng Ke's shoulders were still hollow, but he didn't notice it, and I didn't see any joy on his face, he just lowered his head and looked at my hand.

The hand that pulled out the black iron hook.

"It's okay! It doesn't hurt at all!" I thought he was worried about my wound, so I lowered my head nonchalantly, but I was stunned.

That hand is black.

It's as black as charcoal, and it's black, especially when it's reflected on the white snow, it's a terrifying feeling.

"this is……"

Cheng Ke's face darkened little by little, Taohua looked at the extremely weird-looking hand with big eyes, slightly widened, a little blank, I have never seen this look in his eyes.

"The problem, is it serious?" I opened my mouth, "But, it really doesn't hurt... Anyway, I have immortality, so I can't die, no... I should say, I'm all dead anyway, so what's the point... "

Cheng Ke didn't answer, and suddenly stretched out his slender arms, wrapping me in his arms tightly, "I'm sorry..."

That voice seemed to be trembling with Cheng Ke's absolute impossibility: "I failed to protect you well..."

I bumped my head against his chest, it hurt so much, I struggled to show my face, and said cheerfully: "I can't blame you, it's my own troubles, if I don't pull it out, you can get it off, right? I Next time, it won't be such a mess, you can do anything, I just need to be protected by you..."

"I'm not that strong..." Cheng Ke's voice was slightly gritty: "My heart will hurt, I will have scruples, I will not let go of my hands and feet, these are all shortcomings, so many things that I have done before, Can't do it now..."

So that's why it's not strong enough.

I know, it's for me.

Only when you have something you care about, will you have a weakness.

"No one can be so strong that they can penetrate everywhere!" I hurriedly said, "You are my hero, that's enough."

"hero……"

"hero!"

I came out of his arms, shook my hands nonchalantly, and said, "Tell me, what's the situation? At most, it's poisoning. At most, it's just a hand. Life is more important than hands, isn't it? People come out of hell." Isn't it the greatest luck!"

I am indeed afraid, but I don't want Cheng Ke to see that I am afraid.

"Is it unconscious?" Cheng Ke held the black hand, as if he couldn't express his distress: "How can a living person touch the black iron in the underworld..."

After he said this, he felt that the hand was indeed numb, and he didn't feel anything at all. He secretly pinched the palm of his hand, but it was useless at all.

Blinking eyes raised his head: "Touch, what will happen?"

"The whole person should start from the point of contact, and extend bit by bit," Cheng Ke said: "Now it is just a hand, and in the future it will be the whole body..."

"There is always a way, isn't it?" I hurriedly said, "After all, there is longevity..."

But as soon as I said this, I also understood in my heart that because of longevity, even if longevity saves my life from being snatched away by the messengers of the underworld, there is no guarantee that I will not become a living dead...

Stiff, unconscious zombies?
The insensitive black hand was grasped by him, and his voice was very decisive: "Go to Jinyuli and see that Doctor Ma."

"Grandpa and Doctor Deng Ma are still in the villa..." I hurriedly said, "Why don't you go back and tell me?"

"I can't care less."

"Cheng Ke."

He didn't answer, his thin lips were pursed into a line, his bony hand held my black hand, but he didn't let go, he stepped on the snow with big strides, walking all the way towards Jinyuli.

"It's a bit ostentatious for us to go in this way. Didn't we encounter so many extraneous things last time..."

"Who dares to stop me?" Cheng Ke's expression was an understatement, but his voice was as cold as Shura who killed without blinking an eye: "Let him die."

He has long legs and walks in a hurry, so I had to be led by him and trot all the way like walking a dog: "Slow down, we can take a taxi!"

However, in this weather, it is full of snow and it is difficult for vehicles to move. Not to mention it is difficult to hit it, even if it is hit, it is probably not as fast as walking.

The snowflakes continued to cover the sky wantonly. His eyelashes were already thick, but now they were also whitened by the snowflakes. It looked a little funny, but it made people unable to laugh.

It was obviously such a beautiful side face, but now it looks serious like a plaster sketch.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived in Jinyuli, many ghost raisers stood out from the door as if they were ready, and said with a sneer, "Oh, did you read that right?"

"They're back?"

"However, it feels a bit strange... They have immortality, so they are not afraid of death at all."

Cheng Ke didn't seem to have seen it at all, but he was still walking in the golden and jade-covered white snow with his usual sharp posture.

Quietly, there was no trace of the snow he stepped on.

"Leave Changsheng!" The already impatient ghost raiser couldn't bear his temper, and rushed over with a slanting thrust.

Ghost...

Those ghosts surrounded us like they were at the gate of hell, but Cheng Ke didn't look sideways, but just raised his hand.

It was as if an invisible sharp blade flew up into the air, tearing away the mist like a rag, but Daxue was not disturbed at all, and still made a fine mist quietly.

But for a moment, the faces of those ghost raisers turned pale: "This..."

Obviously, Cheng Ke is difficult to deal with, and he has a murderous look that he didn't have last time.

A strong murderous aura that even I have never seen before.

Like... Shura who came out of hell.

Holding my hand tightly, I continued to walk forward. I turned my head in confusion, and all the ghost raisers around me were paying attention to us.

"This is the last chance!" A ghost cultivator shouted: "When they really take out the longevity, they don't know who is cheaper. After so many years, the longevity has only appeared in this world. If you miss this opportunity, where will you go again?" Find a second time!"

"Let's go together, whoever snatches it!"

The snow on the ground rose up and mixed with the snow in the air, like a storm had blown.

Yin Qi travels through the heavy snow, making people dazzled, like a line of dark green and light green, and there are many lines passing by our side.

"Chi... chi..." could not be heard.

I'm not afraid at all, because Cheng Ke is still able to handle those attacks with ease.

Facing the ghost-raisers who came all over the place, he seemed to be dressed up for a banquet, and only put on a shallow, easy-to-use sneer, waiting for the ghost-raisers, moths to the flames.

The whole person is sharp and sharp, like a sword that has cut iron like mud out of its sheath.

Every gesture is very chic, and there is a whistling wind in my ears.

He let go of my hand and stood in front of me, his long and tall figure standing steadily. Some ghost raisers wanted to come over and cut the line of Yin Qi between me and him, but Cheng Ke lightly As he dragged it over, there was an extremely crisp sound of bones breaking.

Before the screams could be uttered, the person was already limp into a ball, and then was thrown out, knocking down a group of people who couldn't dodge.

There are also those who think they are responsive and start to pester me from my side, but Cheng Ke didn't look back, those ghost raisers seemed to hit an invisible barrier, and were bounced away from a distance, screaming Once the sound starts, it will never stop.

Not long after, a faint smell of blood began to appear in the air. As time went by, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the snow began to look like rose petals were sprinkled, red, red and white.

I looked at the hole in Cheng Ke's shoulder that hadn't closed yet.

That didn't seem to affect him at all.

Cheng Ke didn't kill him very often recently, but today he completely let go. His fair face was spattered with blood at some point, and his deep eyes seemed to be bloodthirsty. The coldness made people shudder.

When one piece after another fell like harvested wheat seedlings, finally, those ghost raisers who survived the disaster retreated, and no one dared to come forward again.

The ground was already littered with immobile bodies—or corpses?
They finally showed fear.

Cheng Ke glanced at the past, and asked indifferently: "Who else wants to live forever?"

Those ghost raisers first took a few steps back, and then scattered like birds and beasts, losing their running shoes.It is more neat than using the ghost raising technique that I am good at.

Cheng Ke tilted his head and led me, stepping over those immobile bodies and mottled blood.

"Cheng Ke..."

"I'm in a bad mood today, don't take it to heart."

He could still act as if nothing happened, and smiled: "Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

Very handsome.

I don't know why, I didn't say the second half of the sentence, and I don't know why.

It's not that he's too proud, he has the right to be proud.

only……

"It's here." The whole Jinyuli was white and pure, and the snowflakes were becoming more and more disturbing, as if wearing mourning for those ghost raisers.

Doctor Ma's door was open, and there were a few starving house sparrows standing on the wall, looking at the visitor curiously.

The pomegranate tree was covered with silver, and the old dog that had been chained under it the last time was gone.

After entering the door, there was a sense of warmth. Dr. Ma was sitting around the stove, cooking some bright red mutton.

And that old dog has been upgraded to be a guest, and he didn't pay attention to the two of us at all, just staring at the pieces of meat with hope, looking like he's salivating.

Heavy snow, side stove hot pot, really happy like a fairy.

"You smell like blood..." Dr. Ma took out the cooked mutton and dipped it in sauce, and said, "The smell of mutton can't be covered."

"It hurt someone." Cheng Ke said indifferently, "I came here to see a doctor."

"Well, I guessed it." Dr. Ma put down his chopsticks. Because of the steaming fog, he took off his thick tortoiseshell glasses and wiped them. He squinted his eyes and stared at me and my black hand: "Fortunate luck, bad luck."

"It's a pity that I don't have many blessings." I sat down and roasted the black hand next to the stove. Sure enough, I still didn't feel it: "Look, can it be cured?"

"It's a bit difficult." Dr. Ma shook his head: "It's much more difficult than that turtle."

"But even if it's difficult, you have a solution, right?" I still had that cheeky smile: "You can cure all kinds of intractable diseases, I know."

"Then you can't be confident and go to the ghost gate of the underworld." Doctor Ma gave me a pair of chopsticks: "Can you pick up mutton?"

I tried to pick up the chopsticks with that hand, but it was so numb that the hand fell off like a prosthetic on my wrist.

Doctor Ma was speechless, and Cheng Ke looked at Doctor Ma with big eyes like peach blossoms filled with wind and snow: "As long as it can be saved, we can do whatever we want."

"You don't need to pay anything." Dr. Ma raised his head and just said, "Crazy Yang, can you find it?"

"Second grandfather?" Yes, the second grandfather has disappeared for a long time.

"I hope you can promise me to pull him back from that crooked road." Doctor Ma poured all the remaining mutton into it: "Eat first."

"Doctor Ma, her injury..."

"It's difficult, but I can cure it."

Cheng Ke's eyebrows that were still frowning suddenly relaxed.

That look is so beautiful, like the sun shining on the ice and snow, just melting.

After Dr. Ma finished eating all the food, he slowly raised his chin at me: "Stretch it over."

I hurriedly passed my hand over.

That hand was black and fake, as if it had been smeared with ink.

Dr. Ma didn't say anything, he took some ointment with small granules, which looked like fruit yogurt, and applied it on my hands.

It smells quite nice, with a faint fragrance, like the forest in the early morning.

I didn't feel it, I still didn't feel it, but I could tell that once the ointment was applied to my hand, it seemed like a pot was boiling, and those small particles were wriggling.

Cheng Ke stared at the ointment with dark eyes: "Jade silkworm chrysalis."

"You have very good eyesight." Doctor Ma adjusted the heavy glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Have you seen it?"

"Yes, but I can't remember where I saw it." Cheng Ke raised his head: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Looking at the white popping candy-like active ointment, Dr. Deng Ma also showed a self-deprecating smile: "Crazy Yang is at this age, and he needs others to clean up the mess for him. He has been crazy all his life."

No... This time, Second Grandpa is cleaning up the mess for Grandpa.

But I can't say this.

Now the second grandpa, the weird old man Ye Zi, and the group of Mrs. Liu who used the Kunlun raven to deliver messages are still missing. Are they dormant and ready to go, or... what happened?

"Oh..." Before I could figure it out, my black hand suddenly felt a tingling pain, which made me shake it subconsciously: "Something bit me!"

Not only was Cheng Ke not worried, but he seemed to finally have a smile: "Okay."

"Huh?" I finally realized: "I'm conscious!"

However, it was really painful, like countless needles being stuck in it one by one.

I frowned: "This ointment..."

"It has a miraculous effect, doesn't it?" Dr. Deng Ma narrowed his eyebrows proudly: "This is the only secret recipe."

"Yes...but it really hurts..."

"Be patient and pass."

"Hold my hand if it hurts." Cheng Ke stretched out his hand: "Hold it tighter, pinch it."

It suddenly occurred to me that a friend gave birth to a child, and the pain was so painful that the husband who accompanied the delivery was the same as Cheng Ke. He stretched out his hand to her, but she bit it, but her husband did not frown , sweating coldly from the pain, and said: "It's good that the daughter-in-law can vent."

Later, when I went to eat full moon wine, the wound on her husband's hand was covered with thick scabs.

At that time, none of the classmates who heard about this matter were unmoved, and some were crying with hazy eyes. They all envied her for finding a husband who loved her the most in the world.

What I envy the most is me who has always been single.

How does it feel to be so hurt?
God's love, I can feel it.

I lowered my head and watched the granules rolling on the back of my hand gradually grow larger one by one, becoming the size of a grain of rice, and the ointment began to gradually turn black. Doctor Ma wiped my hand with a towel, and the exposed It can be seen from that piece that the jet-black complexion is actually much lighter.

I also understood that those granular things can suck out poison.

The so-called jade silkworm chrysalis?
Doctor Ma wiped those ointments off my hands, and I said with admiration, "So quickly..."

"How can it be so fast." Doctor Ma handed me a bottle of ointment without looking up: "Take it back and rub it on, and wait until the ointment is all used up and the skin color returns to normal. Because of jade silkworm chrysalis, there is nothing I can do. Use it more, you have the Red Blood Curse, it will kill people after a long time, it’s the same every time, if you feel pain, and the color is light, just wipe it off immediately.”

Cheng Ke took the small bottle and thanked him.

"Don't stop for a day, the worms wiped off will be burned in the fire." Doctor Ma ordered a few words, and then said: "I heard that you want to take out the longevity?"

I nodded: "I don't want that kind of thing."

"I wish you all the best." Doctor Ma packed up the medicine box and said suddenly, "Crazy Yang, I like eating hot pot in snowy weather."

"He will come back." Cheng Ke said, "If we see him, we will definitely let you know."

Doctor Ma looked lost, and smiled wryly: "I hope."

After coming out from Doctor Ma, the snow still didn’t stop, and the narrow street in Jinyuli was smooth, covering up the traces just now, as if it had never happened, only a few bulging shapes remained, like a few A grave bag.

But after this came out, no ghost raiser dared to attack us to grab longevity.

Walking along Jinyuli all the way, thinking in my heart, I will probably never welcome me to this place again.

Longevity, how many lives and deaths can it create?
Suddenly, I understood why Wei Qiancheng was used to being so cruel.

If you have to do it for a long time, you will get used to it, become numb, and become your own characteristics.

Walking all the way back, looking at the snow, I felt better again, stepped out a circle around Cheng Ke in the snow, and said with the lyrics of Monkey King to Tang Seng in "Journey to the West": "I will go to ask for alms , master, stay here for a while, and don't leave this circle."

Cheng Ke looked at me like he was looking at a child.

A spoiled child.

So his originally handsome brows also softened unknowingly.

Although he didn't stay in the circle obediently, but walked back with his long legs: "It's cold, stop playing."

Still so confused.

"Master!" I hurried to catch up, and said unwillingly, "There are demons and goblins outside!"

His slender back walked step by step in the wind and snow, walking alone, so chic that people felt that it was unnecessary to add it, but he still stretched out that slender white hand behind his back: "Hold it, and you won't be afraid. "

That is natural.

With you here, I am not afraid of anything.

I followed him all the way to the villa, my feet were a little numb from the cold, so I stomped. Cheng Ke could tell that he was about to turn his back on me when he turned around. Suddenly he turned his head and frowned, as if crossing over my shoulder, looking towards the back of me.

"Huh?" I hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Someone is following us." Cheng Ke's long and dense eyelashes trembled: "I don't know, who is so unafraid of death."

Someone followed... I wanted to turn back, but Cheng Ke fixed my head and didn't allow me to turn back: "Let's go, don't pay attention."

Being followed and ignored?

Oh, I see, playing hard to get, right?
Thinking of this, he followed Cheng Ke and continued to walk back: "Does your shoulder hurt?"

That hole, which can even be penetrated by snowflakes, looks very scary.

A normal person has leaked a hole here, and he must have been unable to stand up long ago.

"Pain?" Cheng Ke shook his head indifferently: "I don't feel it anymore."

He has experienced many times more pain than this.

I followed him anxiously and continued walking, because of the hole, and because I calmed down, I remembered what happened to the underworld: "By the way, do you still remember the person who denounced us? That person, what is it? Who? Why do you have to report on us?"

"Do you still remember Cheng Hua who died inside the five-legged toad?" Cheng Ke said calmly, "That's him."

Of course I remember that in order for us to rescue Madoka, I died in the belly of the five-legged toad: "Him? No wonder it sounds so familiar, but I didn't remember it! But it shouldn't be, he obviously owes us to rescue Xiaoyuan." Yuan Qing, how can he still report on us, is there any justice?"

"What heavenly reason." Cheng Ke said: "Obviously, after he died, no one worshiped him, and he became a standard lonely ghost. He was so lonely that he thought of meeting an acquaintance, so let's drag him down for company."

"That's too selfish!" I almost exploded in anger, "I almost got killed for no reason!"

"Not everything must have a reason." Cheng Ke said: "It's like, when we were almost locked in the gate of hell, there were still people helping us."

"Ah!" I immediately remembered: "You mean, the force that pushed us at the end and sent us out. Strange, who is that? It's a woman's voice, I've never heard it before."

"Who knows." Cheng Ke slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

But how do I feel that he knows?

Before he could think of anything, when he walked around a corner, Cheng Ke suddenly turned his head, put his index finger on his thin lips, made a gesture of silence, and then turned around very quickly behind the corner, only listening to " Sigh..." with a sound, as if someone had been pushed down.

Apparently, the guy following us has been caught!

I hurried around from behind the corner, and when I saw the person Cheng Ke was holding down, I couldn't help being stunned: "You..."
