husband from hell

Chapter 313

"Then you can ask Ah Jiu directly." Cheng Ke looked like he was reticent.

"Okay." Calamus stalked for a moment, and then asked: "You are ready, how do you do it?"
"How do you want me to do it?" Even if Cheng Ke's big peach blossom eyes are pretty, they are just like a pool of hopeless stagnant water, without the slightest ripple.

"His soul has entered my master's body. If he hurts him, it is equivalent to hurting my master." Calamus swallowed his heartache and said seriously: "And I still hope that I can Master's soul has been recalled."
It seems that although Master Changpu's body has been occupied, his soul still has a turning point.

But it's useless, I know what happened to her master, she was absorbed by that big banyan tree and became a human face.

"So?" Cheng Ke's big peach-blossom eyes were clear and cold, which made Calamus feel a little prickly. She paused for a moment, and then said, "So, ordinary methods won't work."
"Then we can only draw the soul," Cheng Ke raised his brows, "but you know, it's still three ghost festivals away, and it will take a long time to draw the soul."
"You don't have to draw the soul, have you heard of the 3000-year-old banyan tree near Xichuan?" Calamus had already prepared: "The tree spirits there only eat the soul, not the body."
"I see." Cheng Ke replied, "I will take him there."
Calamus's attitude towards Cheng Ke is a bit puzzling. He only thinks that Cheng Ke in the past can definitely live and die for himself, but now it seems that it is not right at all.

Speaking of perfunctory, he did not perfunctory, but when it comes to hotness, it is definitely not as hot as before.

Calamus wants to ask clearly, but she also knows that it is useless to ask what Cheng Ke doesn't want to say, so she can only think in her heart that if there is any misunderstanding, there will always be a time to solve it, not to mention, Cheng Ke loves herself clearly .

extremely love.

Calamus persuaded herself to rest assured. After Cheng Ke left, she bent down, looked at the pond full of lotus flowers, and called softly: "Ah Jiu?"
The tender spring water is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the calamus's more beautiful face than in spring.

There was a ripple on the surface of the water, and a girl wearing a moon-white tunic, with black hair hanging down, her whole body wet, and a mask on her face suddenly emerged from the pool, and threw her head on the little lotus leaf. It's full of rolling water droplets.

And the eyes behind the mask also seemed to be wet, she looked at the calamus without speaking.

It is very obvious that her gaze is an indescribable envy.

"It's not too hot," Calamus smiled slightly, "What are you doing hiding in the water?"
"It's nothing." Ah Jiu became "friends" with Cheng Ke, and that temper really has a shadow of Cheng Ke, which is indescribably awkward, like a heart that always needs to be kept safe and secure, Don't let others see it at all.

The Ah Jiu at that time, the Ah Jiu I knew, seemed to be two people.

As you can imagine, a lot happened after that.

"Then let me guess." Calamus propped up his chin, smiling amiably: "When a person is in the water, weeping will not be noticed by others, right?"
"I didn't shed tears!" Ah Jiu seemed to be taken aback, and then argued without thinking, "I just, just wanted to hide here."
She was obviously lying, even I could see it.

Calamus Cherry's lips curled up, but she didn't expose her lies, but suddenly stretched out her hand and touched Ah Jiu's masked head. It was compassion and sympathy: "The life before Bi Luomen , is it hard?"
Ah Jiu looked at Calamus with soft eyes for a moment, then became a little vigilant, and said in a low voice: "Wei Changsheng said, since we have arrived at Biluomen, we are not allowed to mention the past to others again."
Calamus thought to himself, Wei Qiancheng is caring, knowing that Ah Jiu escaped from Xichuan, so don't you want to touch those uncomfortable memories of her?

I can imagine.

Wei Qiancheng is that kind of person!If he wants to treat someone well, he will dig out his heart and lungs, even if there is nothing in return, even if in the end, he only has a hollow heart left.

He is afraid of being alone, but he is the loneliest.

"You don't want to think about it, of course you don't have to think about it," Calamus still shone that goddess-like radiance on Ah Jiu: "I just need your help, but I will never impose my difficulties on others. body."

As he said that, Calamus stood up and turned around gracefully: "The next time you encounter something that will make you cry, come to me! At least, I will always be warmer than the water in the pool."

Looking at the back of Calamus, Ah Jiu was a little dazed.

Sure enough, before Calamus took a few steps, Ah Jiu's timid voice sounded behind him: "You...what's the problem? Can I help?"

Calamus's cherry lips revealed an extremely beautiful smile.

She turned her face and looked at Ah Jiu: "Is it convenient for you to mention it?"

"Anyway, it's over." With a swing of Ah Jiu's slender body, she drew a beautiful arc from the water surface, like a masked mermaid, and neatly climbed up to the railing beside the pool.

The water dripped down, and she didn't seem to be cold at all.

Calamus sat down, and naturally took off his clothes and covered Ah Jiu's body: "It's a girl's body after all, it's not good for your health, remember not to do this next time."

A seemingly unintentional move, but it is very heartwarming for Ah Jiu.

I can see that at that time, Ah Jiu really regarded Calamus as his goddess, right?
Desired to be out of reach, I feel that I am so humble that I don't even have the qualifications to envy.

"You...have difficulties too?" Ah Jiu spoke first.

"Why not?" Calamus tilted her head, and the beautiful spring sunshine shone on Calamus's beautiful side face, casting a layer of light on her: "As long as you are a mortal, you will naturally have troubles, but, what you have experienced Things are different, and the troubles are also different..."

Then, Calamus turned to look at Ah Jiu: "It's like you...or is it because of your body?"

Ah Jiu shrank, as if she finally felt the cold, she nodded: "I... I shed my skin, like a snake, a crab, or a shrimp, layer after layer, it's disgusting."

The ability of immortality in her body was originally sustained by the method of "molting". Later, this body fell on Furong, which was a coincidence in the following story.

Ah Jiu then said mockingly: "I am like this, I can't be considered a human being, can I?"

"Why can't you be considered a human being?" Calamus looked at Ah Jiu sincerely, and said, "As long as you shed your skin once, it is equivalent to shedding this period of time. You will always be a "new" one, which is not a bad thing."

"Isn't that a bad thing?" Ah Jiu subconsciously covered her mask, her voice trembling slightly: "But I, maybe I will never be able to see people with my true face... No, it should be said that I can't even I don't even know what I really look like.

"I can always figure out a way," Chang Pu looked at Ah Jiu, "My difficulties seem to be related to your suffering."

"What?" Ah Jiu was a little dazed: "Is it related to me?"

Calamus nodded, and asked solemnly: "You just need to tell me, how did your body become like this?"

When this matter was mentioned, Ah Jiu's thin body couldn't help trembling, obviously, she remembered something that had terrified her so far.

"Don't be afraid." Calamus held Ah Jiu's hand: "I'm here."

Ah Jiu's hand was passed on to me through Calamus' memory, cool... very cool.

Maybe Calamus's hands were very warm, and the warmth made Ah Jiu let go of her defenses. She began to talk about herself in a whisper: "I... have a very special physique, so it is said that I am good at cultivating ghosts." Materials, I don’t know if I was abandoned, sold, or kidnapped. As long as I can remember, what I saw was one after another who changed hands of me and took me as a “people to support people” Raw materials are used to make rare goods and liveable ghost raisers.

So what I saw was not candied haws, spinning tops, and new clothes that others saw, but monsters that could be planted on the body, and strangely shaped pills. "

It sounds like all kinds of tests imposed on Ah Jiu.

The sympathy on Calamus's face became deeper and deeper: "It must be very painful, right?"

Ah Jiu looked at the warm spring water, the mask was reflected by the water, she took a breath, and said: "Pain... Pain is nothing to me, I'm used to it.

Later... it was adopted by the last owner, and this kind of experiment ended, but..."

Having said this, Ah Jiu smiled wryly: "The new experiment just started again.

This time, my body was coated with layer after layer of something, like painting a certain object. After the thing condensed, it would stick tightly to the skin until it was almost When they become one, the master will peel off that thing. "

Ah Jiu's voice doesn't have any feeling, but I can hear a feeling that empathizes with me!
Isn't that... like being skinned again and again!
Calamus was also moved by it: "It's just... a pain to the skin."

It is said that the ten fingers are painful, but the feeling of being skinned is even more unbearable.

"I said, I'm used to the pain," Ah Jiu showed an expression that could be called innocent: "But one day, I accidentally saw how the juice that smeared on my body was made up. Yes, I don't want to bear it any longer..."

Calamus asked cautiously: "What is it?"

Ah Jiu blinked her eyes, stroked her arm lightly, and murmured, "It's skin."

Even Calamus, who was used to seeing big storms, frowned slightly: "Skin?"

"Human skin can be found in men, women, and children. It is translucent, yellowish, and piled together softly. It is boiled in a large pot to make a paste..." Ah Jiu continued: "The master said, if you change the skin once, you will be able to use it again." You can be young once, but changing the skin is too troublesome, why not make a body that will never decay in one go."

I imagined that the "master" wanted to make Ah Jiu into an eternal "container".

"Later, the body changed, and pieces of skin began to fall off one after another, and the place where the skin fell was very pink and tender, like a newborn." Ah Jiu continued: "The master said, it will be successful. Congratulations to me too, for being such an excellent container, I started to get scared.

I can only be a container.

Moreover, at this time, I don't know which link of the master has gone wrong. Some kind of extraordinary thing has been mixed into the human skin used for boiling, and that kind of thing has penetrated into the ointment that was applied to me that time. , my face is broken.

It hurts... even I can't bear the pain, my face melted, like baked wax, and big drops fell from my face.

When the master realized it, it was too late. Later, he thought of many ways, but he couldn't restore my face. So one day, he brought a new child.

Like me, a child with a special constitution.

Of course I understand in my heart that since the 'container' has been replaced, the meaning of my stay here is naturally only to make raw materials.

I didn't want to make raw materials, so I ran out. I heard that Wei Changsheng is very capable, so I came to him directly. "

Although Ah Jiu described the matter in the same way as the running account, he could still hear what kind of thrilling it was, and the more understated it was, the more it made people feel chills down the back.

And Calamus obviously became more and more interested in what Ah Jiu said: "Afterwards, your body began to shed layers of skin, and your appearance also began to remain at this age, never changing again?"

"That's right." Ah Jiu nodded timidly, and looked at Calamus: "I still don't know, what kind of relationship does the difficulty you mentioned have with me?"

"I'm afraid." Calamus pursed her cherry lips and said, "I have met your master."

"What did you say?" Even though she was hiding under the mask, Ah Jiu was obviously terrified: "He... is he here to find me?"

"That's not good," Calamus said with his perfectly lined chin, "However, it's very dangerous. Tell me, what is the origin of your master?"

"Where are you coming from..." Ah Jiu thought for a while, and said, "He didn't mention his background and name, but he has a Xichuan accent, so he should be a local..."

"Then, what did he look like when he was your master?"

"A very handsome man," Ah Jiu blinked the eyes behind the mask, and said, "There are calluses on his hands, on the tiger's mouth and index finger."

"Oh?" Calamus seemed to understand something, and continued, "I see."

"You know him?"

"Probably we will get to know each other soon." Calamus smiled.

And Cheng Ke was the same as every time, he didn't say much, he did things seriously, and it didn't take long before he brought Changpu's master here smoothly.

That master, already an old man with frost on his temples, with a thin and thin body, because his head was covered with a black cloth bag, when he was brought to Calamus, his voice came from behind the cloth bag, an indescribable "Who are you and what are you going to do?"
"I want to send you on your way." Calamus said in a low voice, "Don't think that what you do is perfect. If you want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself."
"Calamus?" Calamus's voice is so pleasant that people can remember it immediately, and that master is no exception, his voice is full of disbelief: "I have devoted all my life's effort to you, you why treat me like this?"
"This sentence, I will return it to you intact."
There was no emotion in Calamus' voice.

Next, just as Cheng Ke remembered, the two of them brought the master whose head was covered with a black cloth to the big banyan tree.

The black hole in the big banyan tree seems to have existed for a long time.

After Changpu's master fell down, Changpu looked at the hole: "You said, did the soul that was eaten fall into that hole?"
Cheng Ke's big peach eyes reflected the black hole: "I don't know, and I'm not interested."
Even in that kind of estrangement, Cheng Ke's face was in the darkness, and it looked so amazing that Acorus couldn't help but want to lean on his thin chest and hug him.

"Cheng Ke." Calamus approached Cheng Ke and murmured, "Recently, what happened? Why do you seem to be a different person?"
"Really?" Cheng Ke didn't seem to want to talk much at all: "People will always change."
"But you shouldn't be the kind of person who can change." Calamus approached Cheng Ke: "Your heart for me hasn't changed, from childhood to adulthood, has it? I don't hope there will be anything between us The knot exists, and if there is one, I must open it."
"I don't have any knots." Cheng Ke's voice obviously meant to reject people thousands of miles away: "I've finished the matter for you, let's go."

Cheng Ke wanted to exchange this matter for the life saved by Calamus on that snowy day.

Yes, his father, who has long been vague in his memory, told him that the kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring.

"Cheng Ke!" Calamus pulled Cheng Ke back, "I have a knot."

"Huh?" Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows: "How do you say?"

"I..." Unexpectedly, before Changpu finished speaking, the two of them were suddenly pushed by a force, and they fell into the hole unexpectedly!
And from the corner of Changpu's eyes, he saw the master's "corpse" that had been eaten by the big tree, and his neck was tilted, standing at the entrance of the cave without anyone noticing, watching them laugh .

That smile was terrifying.

I suddenly understood in my heart that after that person occupied Master Changpu's body, he didn't drive out Master Changpu's soul, but directly suppressed it.

What was eaten just now was the soul of Master Calamus, and that person's soul... actually remained!
Calamus could no longer see what was going on with that person, she could only feel her body falling continuously, until a slender arm pulled her back.

No wonder she and Cheng Ke knew everything about the cave, so they fell into this cave a hundred years before me!
