Lonely Immortal

Not long after, Zhang Zhiwen and Oiran came to the kitchen.

Zhang Zhiwen actually saw the name of the oiran from the appointment letter. The oiran's name is Qingyao. The name is quite nice, but for some reason, the oiran does not have a surname. It is probably because she was born in a brothel, or because her parents had two children since she was a child. The reason for death may be that women rarely have surnames.

Of course, most ladies have surnames, while girls from lower-class families do not have surnames. Qingyao has appeared in his delusion more than once. Zhang Zhiwen also knows this in his heart, that is, he seems to be the one who should Let’s do a little research on this woman.

However, after Zhang Zhiwen accompanied her to the kitchen, Zhang Zhiwen was not in a hurry to say anything. He just wanted to see if Qingyao could cook. The kitchen was quite tidy and was used by servants on weekdays. Even Zhang's mother often used it. Will come to the kitchen to cook.

Now there seemed to be an extra mistress in the kitchen. When the mistress came here, she lit an oil lamp to illuminate the kitchen. Then she said to Zhang Zhiwen: "Mr., can you make a fire?" ?”

Zhang Zhiwen was slightly startled, but he quickly nodded.

"Then Mr. Lao can help me light the fire." Qingyao said, and she went to fetch water.

Zhang Zhiwen thought for a while and didn't say anything. He sat in front of the stove, then picked up some firewood and started to light a fire. After a while, the flames lit up, making the kitchen even brighter, and under the light of the fire , Zhang Zhiwen's face seemed to look better, not so pale.

Qingyao fetched water to wash the iron pot, and then started cooking noodles. She also sat down next to Zhang Zhiwen. At this moment, the two of them were sitting side by side, quite intimate, but Zhang Zhiwen was very It was clear that his whole body smelled of rot, and he didn't know how Qingyao didn't dislike him.

"By the way, weren't you talking about your master?" Zhang Zhiwen felt that the atmosphere was quite awkward, so he thought of asking Qingyao to continue telling her story, and Zhang Zhiwen was still very interested in this story.

"Yeah, I almost forgot about it. By the way, where did I mention it? Oh, I mentioned that I suddenly made a noise and attracted the old guy..."

Qingyao continued, "The old guy showed up. Sure enough, he has no human skin, but it's also very strange. When I saw him, I wasn't very scared. Do you believe it? "

"Oh? Why is this?" Zhang Zhiwen asked subconsciously.

"Because he is not scary at all. He is just a fish-like monster, crawling on the ground, and then crawling towards me. It seems like he wants to eat me, but he crawls very slowly and weakly... …”

Qingyao began to recall the situation at that time, and then she said that she picked up the demon-slaying sword and slashed at the old monster. The old monster couldn't bear it at all, and she killed it with a few blows, and then the old monster turned into a puddle of stinky ichor, and then picked up the demon pill.

It seemed that the matter was solved so easily by Qingyao. After Qingyao killed the old monster, she discovered the secret of the old monster. The old monster turned out to be hiding something, including a book about how to become a monster. .

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen asked: "So, you also read it?"

Qingyao nodded. At this moment, the firelight shone on her face, but she couldn't see any fluctuations in her heart. It seemed that she was talking about something trivial or someone else's matter. She just said lightly: "I see But I don’t know what it means because I can’t read.”

Zhang Zhiwen was a little speechless. He had forgotten that Qingyao had never read a book since she was a child. Naturally, she could not understand the book because she was illiterate, but how did she know that the book was the secret book of the old monster's cultivation? Isn't this very contradictory?

"Actually, I didn't know this at the time. I just did things according to the method the Taoist told me. Then I took these things away and finally handed them over to him. Then he told me what they were."

Qingyao said, which made Zhang Zhiwen relieved. It turned out that the Taoist told her, but Zhang Zhiwen still had a question, so he asked: "Then how does this old weirdo change his skin every time?"

"Oh, yes, he hid a lot of human skins, I took them too, and gave them all to the Taoist." Qingyao said, and at this time, the water also boiled, and Qingyao immediately got up and went to cook noodles.

She opened the lid of the pot, looked at the boiling water, then picked up the noodles next to it and put them into the boiling water, but her eyes seemed a little out of focus. She seemed to be recalling something. While she stirred the noodles in the water, While saying: "I thought the matter was over like this, I was saved, and even the servants in the mansion should be saved, but the Taoist told me that there is no way to break the curse on me..."

When Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he probably knew what was going on. It turned out that Qingyao had always been under the old monster's curse. This curse should be extremely powerful. Maybe it was the old monster's way of controlling people. It was naturally a housekeeper. Of ability.

Therefore, when Qingyao said this, her mood seemed to be quite low, and she continued: "The Taoist told me that if I don't want to die, then I must be with a man every day, otherwise I will He will die within a few days.”

Zhang Zhiwen was a little stunned when he heard this. What kind of vicious curse is this? This old monster is really not a good guy. How could he use such a vicious curse to deal with a weak woman? Doesn't this drive people crazy?

"Of course, when the old monster was here, he could relieve me once a day. Although I don't know how he did it, I was still fine at that time..."

Qing Yao continued talking, Zhang Zhiwen continued to listen, and she said, "What I didn't expect was that once the old monster dies, no one can break this curse. And the Taoist told me that unless I want to die, If you don’t want to die, then go find a man and spend the night every day.”

"What happened next..." Zhang Zhiwen knew what happened next, but he still couldn't help asking.

Didn’t Qingyao later go to a brothel and become a brothel girl? Zhang Zhiwen naturally knew about this. It's not that Zhang Zhiwen looked down on the women in brothels. Zhang Zhiwen didn't have such thoughts. Zhang Zhiwen even felt that most women in brothels were pitiful.

On the surface, they are bohemian and seem to be shameless. Moreover, they are men's playthings and engage in dirty transactions, but in essence, they are forced to do nothing. How many women really like to do this?

Of course, there are also women who want to make money and then marry well, but why do they choose this method? There is nothing we can do about it. We just want to make more money as soon as possible. However, these ideas are indeed wrong and detrimental to public order and good customs. It is not unreasonable to be cast aside by the world. From a moral perspective, that is indeed the case. Something happened.

But Zhang Zhiwen is not a moral gentleman, and he does not care about these things. Therefore, he does not look down on Qingyao, but he has no interest in matters between men and women.

"Later...don't you know what happened later? My husband, do you dislike women like me?" Qingyao seemed to think that Zhang Zhiwen disliked her, otherwise she wouldn't have asked so straightforwardly.

Zhang Zhiwen actually asked subconsciously, not because he looked down on the other party. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen waved his hand and said: "It's a thing of the past, it doesn't matter, everyone has no choice but to do it. You are under a curse and have no choice. It doesn't matter." way."

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen didn't look blaming or disapproving, Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, and then she also smiled and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, I'm not asking you, you will never guess who that person is. ”

"Oh? Who is that Taoist?" Zhang Zhiwen didn't think of this matter. Now that Qingyao brought it up again, he noticed that he was also a little curious. This Taoist was quite powerful. He also gave Qingyao these beheadings. If there were no tools for slaying demons, Qingyao would not be able to kill the old monster so easily.

Qingyao looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and then her eyes showed an unusually bright light, and then she slowly revealed a mysterious smile: "Mr. sir, guess what..."

Zhang Zhiwen was speechless. How did he know this? He is not a god, but for some reason, after he and Qingyao have been in contact for a long time, they have become so close that they don't even realize there is anything wrong with their words, as if the two of them have known each other for a long time. Same.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't notice this. He just smiled helplessly: "How would I know? Looking at you like this, I'm afraid he must be a very powerful person. Who is he?"

Zhang Zhiwen is never a high-profile person, and he admires powerful people very much. Therefore, he is habitually modest when he speaks. In fact, if a Taoist is not a Taoist, Zhang Zhiwen's Taoist skills must have been wiped out in the past.

"I knew you would say that. When you saw me, you told me the same thing. You tell me, I am actually nothing great, nor am I a powerful person. I just got the chance by chance. Just some methods to kill demons..."

When Qing Yao's words came out, Zhang Zhiwen was stunned at first, and then almost couldn't believe it, because didn't Qing Yao's words mean that he, Zhang Zhiwen, was that Taoist?

"Ms. sir, I knew you would be surprised. Yes, the person I met at that time was you, but it doesn't seem to be you. How should I put it? Anyway, you look exactly the same and speak in the same tone. Then I can basically be sure that you are the same person..."

When Qing Yao said this, Zhang Zhiwen was extremely shocked. He raised his hand: "Wait..."

Qing Yao also stopped, but Zhang Zhiwen's face looked a little unsightly. He frowned slightly, then raised his head and looked at Qing Yao, and asked very seriously: "You mean, you have met me before?"

"Yes!" Qingyao replied firmly, but she added, "But that was many years ago, so when I saw you here, I was actually very surprised... "

Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what was going on here. He raised his hand again to tell Qingyao to stop talking. He wanted to figure out what was going on here.

First of all, he has never been to this place, at least not before. Logically speaking, the Realm of Illusion will not have a Dharma Secret Realm repeated, but it seems not to be the case now, which means that his breakthrough this time was a failure. , otherwise it would make no sense for him to meet Qingyao again now.

Of course, this matter is open to debate and may not be the case.

Secondly, when Qingyao met him, Qingyao was still young, so is the other him still there now?

If he is, then he is... yes, isn't he just a corpse now? But if that's the case, how is the other one still alive?

Finally, why did he come into contact with Qingyao? Did you plan to meet Qingyao on purpose from the beginning?

Zhang Zhiwen thought of this and couldn't help but ask: "Let me ask you, how did you find me at that time? Oh, I mean, how did you find that Taoist at that time?"

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen was a little confused, Qing Yao couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr., don't be anxious, these things today actually have cause and effect, and I know a lot of things. Mr., I asked you before and let you answer questions My question requires you to answer it truthfully, but sir, you seem to have failed to do so..."

Zhang Zhiwen was stunned. He didn't know what this had to do with the current problem, but Qingyao said that she had known the current situation for a long time. What was going on?

"Ms. sir, just listen to me and tell me slowly, okay?" Qing Yao comforted Zhang Zhiwen when she saw that he still looked extremely shocked.

After Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he gradually calmed down. Since he came to the secret realm and knew that it was not easy to break out, he must have made long-term plans to break through. Since he had thought this way, he seemed not to be in a hurry. Just know everything.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen nodded and said, "Okay, just tell me and I will listen."

"Um……"

When Qing Yao saw Zhang Zhiwen regaining his composure, she continued.

"When I found you, it was because I found out that the master was a monster, right?" Qingyao said.

"That's true." Zhang Zhiwen nodded. He was too lazy to think about it now. Since Qingyao could tell him the whole story, he listened, but he didn't know why Qingyao asked him about it again.

"Think about it, I know that the master is a monster, so I must find a way to escape. And I wanted to escape, but I immediately realized that something was wrong, because I also took the opportunity to escape once, but in the end I went back obediently... "

When Qing Yao said this, Zhang Zhiwen suddenly realized it, and he couldn't help but said: "It's a curse!"

"By the way, my husband is still as smart as before. It's the curse... The curse made me realize what it means to live worse than death. That night, I had to go back quickly, otherwise I might have to find a random man to spend the night. …”

Qingyao said, and when she said these things, she didn't seem to be embarrassed, let alone embarrassed. Obviously, she was a woman from a brothel. She was the most familiar with these matters between men and women, even more than many men. We are all very familiar with each other, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"So, I ran back. When I went back, I saw the master. The master sneered and said to me, don't try to escape, otherwise he will deal with me. Of course, at this time, I didn't know that he was the old monster... …I didn’t know until I saw him eating someone. Oh, by the way, do you know who I saw him eating? You won’t believe it if I tell you!”

Qing Yao suddenly showed a mysterious smile again, Zhang Zhiwen frowned slightly, who did the old monster eat? Why didn't he believe it? Could it be someone Zhang Zhiwen knew?

"Hey, sir, actually that old monster ate your brother's..." Qing Yao said this, and Zhang Zhiwen was shocked.
