husband from hell

Chapter 322 The Mask Broken
"Okay," after a while, I heard a dwarf figurine saying to Cheng Ke and me: "It's up to you, prepare the things you want to barter."

My heart became more nervous, but I still pretended to be calm, like the woman wearing a peacock mask, reached out to open the curtain on the door opening, and walked in.

Cheng Ke followed closely behind me, and saw that there was a damp smell in the door opening, as if there had been no ventilation for a long time.

I walked all the way along the door opening, but I didn't even see a single person.

Strange, where did the ghost raisers who came in earlier go?

This treacherous atmosphere seemed... They were all swallowed up by a bottomless pit.

Cheng Ke also looked around, and said solemnly: "The yin energy of those ghost cultivators is gone."

"Missing?" The place is so small, where will it go?
And the person inside is really the person pretending to be grandpa, so what will happen after he recognizes us?
With apprehension, I walked to the end of the door, where there was a living room.

But the living room was quiet and there was no one there.

It's strange... It's conceivable that those ghost raisers disappeared, why even the master disappeared?
I looked at Cheng Ke: "This... no one entertains us at all?"

Cheng Ke's slender body moved forward slightly, habitually protecting me, and I guessed: "Could it be that our identities have been seen?"

"I don't know, anyway, be careful." Cheng Ke was about to lift his foot in, when suddenly, in this empty room, a sharp female voice came from nowhere: "Take off the mask!"

"Huh?" I recognized it right away, isn't it the voice of the woman wearing the peacock mask!
Cheng Ke's reaction is always much faster than mine. He grabbed my shoulder and raised his slender hand to take off my mask, but for some reason, the mask is like a long and firm On my face, he couldn't take it off!

I also panicked, so I hurriedly took off the mask with my hands, but the mask still didn't move at all, as if it was firmly attached to my face!
How is this going?

"Cheng Ke..."

"There is something parasitic on the mask!" Cheng Ke Qingyue's voice rang out in a low voice: "But I used the Dingling Bell to make the yin energy of that thing invisible, and I didn't see it before..."

"What's parasitic?" My heart was also beating violently.

"Use the Scarlet Blood Curse!" Cheng Ke seemed to have gritted his teeth before making this decision. He raised his hand to bleed me, but he was reluctant to really scratch me. At this moment of hesitation, I I just felt that the mask on my face seemed to be alive, and a force occupied my face, leading me to rush forward!
"Lu Qiao!" Cheng Ke stretched out his hand to grab me, but he only touched his cold fingertips, and then missed, he failed to catch me!
Then, the mask seemed to pull me through a barrier, and I seemed to be in another place.

Cold... very cold... Gathering my mind, I turned around, only to find that there was a chaotic darkness behind me, and I couldn't even see the shadow of Cheng Ke!
It was time to untie the Xuanji Pearl and restore contact with Cheng Ke, but how could such an important matter be forgotten!

While scolding myself for being stupid, I frightenedly searched for a way out, but this place is just like the black hole in the movie, everywhere is chaotic and black, and I can't see where I can find a way out.

"Is anyone there?" I had no choice but to call out boldly.

Everything is silent here, and no one answers at all!

Could it be that those advanced ghost raisers also disappeared like this?Putting the technique on the mask, and using the Dingling bell to eliminate the traces of the technique, it is really cunning and cunning, and it is hard to guard against.

In my stomach, I was cursing the soul attached to my grandpa while groping for a way out. At this moment, I suddenly heard a whimpering sound, as if someone was crying!
I got up all of a sudden, is it possible that I am also a ghost raiser who got lost here?This is really great, I have found a companion!

Thinking of this, I quickly followed the crying sound and looked inside: "Excuse me, who is there?"

As the whimpering sound gradually approached, I finally saw clearly that the back of a woman was sitting on the ground in a very lonely appearance, covering her face with her hands and crying.

"Eh?" I hurried over: "Are you trapped here? Me too, crying can't solve the problem now, let's find a way out together!"

As I said that, I stretched out my hand to pull the woman up, but the woman just shook off my hand and said in a strong nasal voice, "I can't get out."

"Hey!" The voice rang out, and I was stunned for a moment. This voice...was not someone else's, it was Changsheng's voice!
I subconsciously touched my bosom, only to feel that the longevity is still there, why is this soul...

By the way, that spirit was eaten by the golden hawk moth tamed by calamus.

But how could it be... how could she be in this place?

"You...you..." I swallowed my saliva, "how did you get here?"

"Abandoned me, are you happy?" She opened her mouth quietly, her voice was still the same as when it echoed in my mind before, with a bit of sarcasm: "You betrayed the person who recognized you for your own selfishness. Me, you still ask how I got here?"

Immediately, it was as if a sharp knife had been cut across my heart. That's right, I am indeed ashamed of Changsheng!
She chose me, but I still persisted. In order to destroy her, I separated her spirit.

But at that time, I really had no choice.

"I said..." Changsheng continued: "You know, what does it feel like to be betrayed? It's like giving your heart to the other party completely, but being trampled on by the other party." Under my feet, I stepped on a broken piece."

"Changsheng... I didn't do it on purpose..." The guilt in my heart grew stronger: "But at that time..."

"I've helped you." Chang Sheng said word by word, "I helped you in the beauty parlor where you couldn't get down the stairs, when you wanted to track down the three-and-a-half-dollar fragrance, and many other times."

Indeed, this is an undeniable fact.

"Shuyu, he broke my heart," Changsheng continued, "He created me, and he is going to destroy me. I thought I would be free when I was with you, but you are the same, you It’s all the same, you all want to kill me! What on earth did I do wrong? Why do you want to take away just the chance to survive?”

These words... heart-piercing!
My heart felt even more uncomfortable, I felt flustered one after another, my mouth was dry, but there was really nothing to tell myself, so I could only murmur: "Changsheng..."

"You, you only think about yourself, you are for your grandfather, for your Cheng Ke, for that hypocritical common people..." Changsheng's voice was a very sad and indignant accusation: "You just can't be for me!"

Those words really hit my heart.

That's right... I felt sorry for her at the beginning, but now the shame is even deeper, like a dark whirlpool, pulling me down!

Changsheng stood up slowly, her body was slender and weak, and she looked particularly distressed and haggard: "Tell me... what should I do now..."

"Since you haven't disappeared, I will definitely find a way to save you..." But these words were blurted out out of desperation, I want to save her?
How can I save her?

Sure enough, Changsheng was stunned for a moment, his thin shoulders shook, and he gave a wry smile: "Hehe...you want to save me? If I knew this before, why did you do it in the first place? Even if you could save me, do you think there is still time? You are hypocritical! "

I felt more and more unhappy. I opened my mouth, but found that I had nothing to say. Any excuses were useless. I really felt sorry for her...

There is a strong desire in my heart, I want to atone, I want to do something for her!
But what can I do now!

"Are... do you want to make up for it?" Chang Sheng turned around as if he had seen through my thoughts.

In the past, her face was always very vague. This is the first time I saw her face, and I couldn't help being stunned... Acorus?No, no, calamus is prettier than her, yes, this... isn't this my face!

I have never been able to see what she looks like, so it turns out, is it my own look?

My heart tightened even tighter: "You..."

"I belong to you, so naturally I look like you..." Changsheng's mouth twitched, showing a pale and weak smile: "Unfortunately... I misread you after all."

"I want to make up for it!" I hurriedly said, "Tell me, how can I make up for it?"

The strong feeling of wanting to atone for sin was like a powerful whirlwind, sweeping away everything in my mind and heart, leaving only a heavy sense of guilt like lead!

"Then...repay yourself to me!" Changsheng's eyes, which were originally full of sorrow, suddenly became violent, and he raised his slender and sharp hands, and murmured: "Take all your Everything... just give me full compensation!"

A gust of breaking wind rose up following her gesture, blowing all my hair up.

My mind went blank, I just thought, okay... what I owe her, I should pay it back!
But at the moment when he was about to accept his fate, a low voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "That's not right! It's not right!"

wrong?What's wrong?
"If she doesn't die... more people will die because of her..."

By the way, that's the truth!It is precisely because of this that I handed over her spirit to Calamus' golden hawk moth!
This thought is like a ray of light, illuminating the darkness in my heart at once!

Just when Changsheng's hand was about to grab my throat, my body seemed to come back to life, and with the help of the technique of yin and yang to control ghosts, I quickly turned over and escaped!
"Are you regretting it?" Chang Sheng withdrew his hand, and said with sarcasm: "Betrayal, deceit, and now, you're going back on your promise... Lu Qiao, Lu Qiao, from the beginning to the end, you are just a despicable villain!"

"No, I just..."

She cut off my words and said sharply: "You are just selfish and despicable, and you refuse to take responsibility for what you have done! You are a coward who has no responsibility!"

I took a breath and felt a little burning in my chest: "Changsheng..."

"Don't call me by my name, you don't deserve to call me by my name, I'm even ashamed to recognize you as my master!" Changsheng's voice seemed to be full of pain, hoarse!

"Have you said enough?" A deep, startled voice came out of my mouth.

As soon as these words came out, Changsheng raised his head with an inconceivable look, as if he was stunned by me.

Not only her, even myself, was overwhelmed by that aura of my own voice!

I pursed my lips, calmed down, and then said: "You keep saying that you are innocent and pitiful, but why don't you think about it, who caused all this today?"

Changsheng seemed to be recovering now, and said tremblingly, "Of course it's because of you!"

"Because of your size!" I walked towards Changsheng step by step, and poked her chest with one hand: "Because of yourself! Why did Shuyu kill you back then? It was because you were greedy for something that didn't belong to you, Later, you were sealed in Tanshen Town, do you still remember? Why did Wei Qiancheng suddenly undo your seal? Is it because you tempted him?"

"I want to be free, I..."

"Whatever you want, you have to weigh it, whether you deserve it, and how to get it!" I raised my voice, and suppressed Changsheng's aura: "I still want so much more than I can spend." What about the money! Do I have to rob the bank? What I want should be won by myself, but it should not be based on hurting others!"

"I don't understand……"

"I don't understand either, I just know that if I have to make a decision, I hope more people will live!" I have never been as fierce as today: "Everything you do is just hurt, isn't it?" ?As a long-lived person, you can obviously help more people, but you didn’t choose that path, so who can you blame now? I really sympathize with you, and it’s because I feel ashamed of the ‘death penalty’ for you , but it’s not my fault!”

Changsheng didn't seem to expect that I could say such a thing, but instead suppressed her, she was caught off guard and was completely stunned: "You..."

"What about me!" I continued, "It's still the same sentence, as long as I can make up for you, I will try my best to do it, but I don't use my own body to make up for you, it's not fair to anyone! "

Changsheng seemed to be completely afraid of me, and his thin body began to retreat continuously.

But I grabbed her wrist: "Wait for me, tell me, what is this place? You should be in the belly of the golden hawk moth, why did you come here?"

"Because I...I..."

Before I finished speaking the words of longevity, the whole person suddenly spread out like a group of bubbles in front of my eyes!
Is it an illusion?
I was stunned for a moment, is this an illusion?

Just when I had this idea, suddenly there seemed to be a voice from far away: "Lu Qiao! Lu Qiao!"

It's Cheng Ke... Cheng Ke is calling me!

I want to find Cheng Ke, but it's still dark here, people can't touch the edge...

Bright!When I was almost in despair, I suddenly saw a bright light in front of me, and ran along the light, but it seemed that I had encountered some invisible barrier. , Breaking that barrier fiercely!
"Kara..." A thin voice sounded, as if something had been cracked.

"Crack!" I opened my eyes suddenly, and what caught my eyes was Cheng Ke who had taken off his mask. His big peach blossom eyes reflected me when I opened them, and there was a bright light in an instant: "You Woke up!"

Only then did I come back to my senses, touched my face, and then realized that it was the mask on my face that made the sound of cracking, and the fragments of that mask were on the ground: "I just now, wasn't someone Pulled away, but fainted?"

"Do you remember?" Cheng Ke wrapped me in his arms, and the smell of sandalwood rushed over. I heard him say in a low voice: "You are very brave, really brave."

"But I just saw..."

"You saw a person exactly like yourself?" Cheng Ke Qingyue's voice rang in his ears: "That's the magic hidden in this mask, and it's you who is fighting you."

It's me, isn't it Changsheng?

No... How could Changsheng appear here? I also understand that the mask will make people face the most vulnerable and unbearable place.

Only you know your own fragility best!
Is my guilt towards Changsheng my current fragility?This matter... I have been pressing it in my heart, I dare not think about it, I didn't expect that today...

No wonder, in that environment, the Longevity Society is my own appearance!

"It's the trap of the person who possessed my grandfather. This mask will make people lose to me, and then give up all resistance, and hand over what the other party asked me to hand over." I murmured: "That's right... ...No matter how strong a person is, they may lose to him, so to grab the longevity sachet like this, it will be bloodless!"

"You finally figured it out, and you really deserve to be the candidate for the patriarch of our Tanshen Town!" Suddenly a woman's voice sounded, and I looked up, and saw a woman in her 30s.

Her figure is particularly elegant, and her face is well maintained. She looks radiant, dignified and beautiful, with a charm that only mature women have, and her temperament is very outstanding.

This voice... I remembered: "Are you the one wearing the peacock mask just now?"

"You have good ears!" The woman stretched out her hand and pulled me out of Cheng Ke's arms, her charming eyebrows and eyes curved: "The willpower is also very good, and I will definitely have great achievements in the future."

"Thank you..." After being praised by her like this, I felt a little embarrassed: "I don't know yet, what's your name?"

"I am your third aunt, named Yang Shishi." The woman said generously, "Your grandfather and father are brothers."

"Ah," I understood, "You must be the second grandpa's daughter..."

"Your second grandpa never got married all your life, where can you find your daughter! Or, do you think your grandpa has only your second grandpa as a brother?" The woman who claimed to be the third aunt waved her hand and said, "Your grandpa has too many cousins. You can’t remember even after saying that, just remember that I’m your third aunt.”

As he said that, he looked around me in satisfaction, his eyes swept away from the iron ring on my wrist, and said: "I heard that after Changsheng came into your hands, you have done a lot of great things! You Yin Yang Yu The ghosts in Ghost Art are just as powerful as in the legend..."

"What a big deal," I quickly shook my hand and said, "It's just something I have to do!"

"Don't be modest, which ghost raiser doesn't know your reputation?" The self-proclaimed third aunt continued, "I just didn't expect that you came this time..."

There is no doubt that this third aunt must be related to me by blood. Although she is younger than my mother, she feels very similar to my mother. I came back to my senses and asked: "By the way, this time you are... "

The third aunt's apricot eyes are very capable, she turned around in black and white, looked around, and said, "Your fourth aunt asked me to come here, saying that there is a disaster in Tanshen Town. I have been looking into the matter of the longevity sachet, and I have been chasing it until now, now, it can be regarded as a big discovery, you already know about your grandfather, don’t you?”

"I know," I hurriedly asked, "Third Aunt, what did you find after searching for so long?"

"This spirit attached to your grandfather is a very strange spirit. The origin is still not clear, but the purpose is quite clear. It must be for longevity." The third aunt said very seriously: "He is trying to find a sachet for longevity. It's because in the longevity sachet, there is a secret about longevity that can destroy him, so you must protect longevity, and it will be of great use in the future."

"You also know about this!" I also admired in my heart, this third aunt is really a shrewd and powerful character: "Then what about those ghost breeders who went in before?"

"I don't know," Aunt San waved her hand indifferently, and said, "I've already explained everything to them, but it's hard to say whether they can beat me in the end..."

"Then..." My heart was suspended: "If something really happened to them, would the real longevity sachet fall into the hands of the person pretending to be grandpa?"

"No," Aunt San said confidently, "Because the longevity sachets on those ghost cultivators are not carrying the secret longevity sachet."

"Ah?" I looked at the third aunt: "How do you know it's not? Could it be...do you know the whereabouts of the longevity sachet that really carries the secret of longevity?"

"That's right." Aunt San said with a little pride, "I know that thing."
