Legend of Shangxian

Chapter 14

"Obviously you are a slave and I am the master, but I have to do these jobs." Yuan Jiu accused with a smile, her voice was hoarse but there was a kind of euphemism.

Jiang Fan felt that Yuan Jiu's appearance was really good-looking. Among the people he had met, this appearance was one in a hundred, not to mention one in a thousand.Turning around and looking over, the expression was full of ignorance and innocence, not at all like a cannibal monster.

The white hair band behind Yuan Jiu's head made his face pale.Jiang Fan's heart trembled for a moment, almost thinking that those eyes were looking at him.

In fact, Yuan Jiu's eyesight was not very good. The closer to daylight, the more blurred the objects in front of him, and Yuan Fu's face seemed to grow bigger.He yawned, and slowly raised his hand without covering the big mouth, and even his perception became much duller.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, master." Yuan Fu was still lying on the bed, his mouth and hands were motionless, his eyes were lazy and his posture was relaxed.

Yuan Jiu hooked Yuan Fu with a bamboo pole, and the hook at the top was covering Yuan Fu's clothes. When he pulled it back, Yuan Fu's clothes were lifted up in large pieces.In the cold early morning, Yuan Fu touched his belly, pulled Yuan Jiu along the hook, and pulled Yuan Jiu to his side. The belt around his waist floated over his face, covering his face. Fu's face became even more confused.

Yuan Jiu tore off his belt, and stepped back with a smile. Yuan Fu pulled his wrist to catch him under his nose, lifted the veil and asked Yuan Jiu in a neutral tone, "Look at your ruddy bread, did you do bad things again at night? "

Yuan Jiu's eyes fluttered and she still teased, "How is that possible? You've been with me all this time, and it's not like I don't know where I'm going."

Yuan Fu let out an uh, still upset.He glanced at the shadow puppet-like skins on the wall, "Since their souls are trapped, what are you doing with this stinky skin?"

Yuan Jiu immediately grimaced, "I like it. Are you uncomfortable?"

"Didn't you say give them all to me? Without a soul, what would I want a stinky skin for? Also, why did I lose one after I counted it? Where did it go?"

Yuan Fu lazily let go, and straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves along his shoulders, "How do I know? I only said that I would protect you well, but I didn't say that I would give you the current person, and I'm not a domestic slave. If not, do you still want me to do laundry, cook, carry luggage, and pour night fragrance?"

Yuan Jiu stood up and looked at him with the eyes of a master who thought he was fierce. Yuan Fu was unmoved, and Yuan Jiu kicked his foot with his heel, "I'll ask you an answer to ten questions. Who used you to pour Ye Xiang? Don't know where to go?"

Yuan Fu put his arms around his waist and pinched his fingers lightly, teasingly, "I don't mind your Ye Xiang."

Yuan Jiu was most concerned about other people's intimacy with him. Before, Yuan Fu forced himself to be patient, but now he was so angry that he couldn't help but slapped Yuan Fu's face with a slap, "Don't be so big or small. Looking at you, you have a long face, don’t you? A dead slave, you will know how to drink in a day, and you will get dizzy after drinking it?”

Yuan Fu said awkwardly, "You said that heroes should not be classified into different classes regardless of their origin. You also said that even though you are a slave, you treat me as a brother?"

Yuan Jiu pondered, Yuan Fu sneered, "So you have two standards for others and yourself." Obviously angry.

Yuan Jiu rolled his eyes, and quickly smiled to appease him, "Are you serious when you said a few jokes?"

Yuan Fu sneered, "I should have seen through you a long time ago, you black-hearted guy"

Yuan Jiu smiled and grabbed his hand and shook it back and forth, "Aren't I upset?"

Yuan Fu took advantage of the situation to pinch his fingers, and seeing fresh human skin in the gaps between his fingers, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you really going to eat people again?"

"No." Yuan Jiushi's fingers were stained with blood.

"Liar." Yuan Fu grabbed both hands and looked at them carefully, his face turned cold for a moment, he pinched Yuan Jiu's fingers and snapped them back.

Yuan Jiu's wrists were pinched tightly, his fingers were bent towards the back of his hands, he frowned waiting, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "It's just a woodcutter, his skin is old and thick, and it's very rough."

Yuan Fu's muscles were not loose, and Yuan Jiu was furious, "Yuan Fu, don't forget your identity, you signed a contract of sale to me."

Yuan Fu smiled indifferently, "Then don't always go out and do evil."

"It hurts~ it hurts~, Yuan Fu, let go first."

"It's not enough to eat two, huh? I still have to look for night food. I was in such a good mood yesterday?"

Yuan Jiu groaned in pain, seeing Yuan Fu's reluctance, she simply lashed out, "Stop talking nonsense, quickly help me find what I want. Do you think I'm willing to be like this?"

Yuan Fu let go of his hand indifferently, "Usually you eat nine people at night, but now you only eat two or three. I think it's good not to have that thing, and it's okay to lose it."

Yuan Jiuzheng rubbed his wrists, and his face twisted when he heard this, "Yuan Fu, I saved your life, and you promised to avenge me."

Yuan Fu sighed, "Actually, there are some things that you are too attached to. In fact, in terms of dignity, that person respects you; in terms of skill, he is superior and you are inferior. The prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, what is the difference between you and him?" A common hatred? Abandon hundreds of years of pure cultivation and ignore it, and insist on going this kind of way."

Yuan Jiu gritted his teeth, "The hatred in my heart can't be solved without skin and bones. You just remember what you promised me, and don't worry about other things."

Yuan Jiu looked at Tianji, "I'm leaving, you put these things away and don't break them."

Yuan Fu glanced at the skins scattered on the ground, and nodded with nothing to do.

When Yuan Jiu turned around, Yuan Fu sighed, "I thought you would spare Zhao Zhouwen's life,"

Yuan Jiu was originally a big-hearted person, but after hearing this, he realized why Yuan Fu was making a fuss, and immediately stopped in his tracks, with a blushing face, and asked cautiously, "Are you angry?"

"No." Yuan Fu's tone was obviously angry.

Yuan Jiu is honest, Yuan Fu said he was not angry, so he was not angry, "Then you are disappointed?"

Yuan Fu laughed angrily, "With your level, how can I have any expectations? Forget it, you go your own way."

Yuan Jiu clenched his hands into fists, "I want to spare his life, but I've been hungry for a long time." I felt that this kind of explanation was really unreasonable, "Yuan Fu, don't worry, following a master like me, you will succeed sooner or later , even though I am in the shallows now, I will be successful sooner or later." Feeling that the words were vague, but still did not explain the point, Yuan Jiu became more anxious and incoherent, and wanted to comfort him, so he looked at it. Tianji, it's really too late, "Forget it, let's go first. Don't think too much, I'll come back at night."

Yuan Fu didn't say anything, and watched his back fly by quickly, and let out a long and powerless sigh in his heart.

Jiang Fan was dumbfounded. The situation of these two people just now is not the case no matter how you look at it. If they are a man and a woman, they seem to be flirting. Two men, Jiang Fan can't help but shake off his goose skin. I'm not comfortable anymore.

Seeing that Jiang Fan was in a daze, Jiang Hao patted him lightly on the top of his head. Jiang Fan came back to his senses, gave a jolt, and mouthed "Let's go quickly."

The dwarf retreated slowly, and Jiang Fan crawled quietly on the ground on all fours. Jiang Hao stared at the back of his head for a while, and couldn't help but sighed heavily.

The two changed their way to chase Yuan Jiu.

Yuan Jiu ran in a hurry and did not hide his whereabouts. Jiang Fan and Jiang Hao were careful to hide their figures at first, but later seeing Yuan Jiu gradually drifting away, they just hurried on with their sleeves flapping to cover the branches and leaves beside them, passing through the forest and across the water , I never looked back and looked around along the way, so I let go of my courage and chased after him.

They were faster than Yuan Jiu, and they saw the figure wandering around a few clusters of towering ancient trees, and suddenly disappeared.

"Yuan Jiu disappeared here, there must be a hole nearby." After Jiang Hao and Jiang Fan looked at each other, one walked to the left and the other to the right.

Jiang Fan searched carefully, and searched carefully among the bushes on the cliffs in the valley.

Walking around, I suddenly found that this road seemed familiar, as if I walked it yesterday.Listening carefully, there is the sound of rushing water not far away.Jiang Fan stood there in shock. Could it be the deep pool with the water monster?

Jiang Fan was timid and didn't dare to move forward for a while. He didn't eat for two nights a day. He didn't feel hungry at first, but now he walked and stopped alone, and sometimes saw wild fruits among the bushes, his stomach growled and his feet lost strength.

"Although it is important to find Yuan Jiu, we have to fight again when we see it." After estimating, he picked a few wild mulberries and wild cherries, Jiang Fan sat on the root of the tree to rest, and ate with the pastry in his lapel After a few mouthfuls, he satiated and lifted his skirt to wipe the sweat off his face.

Jiang Fan retreated vaguely, "If you go looking for that monster now, you might not be able to find it, right?" He tore off a piece of his skirt and made it the size of a handkerchief, and wrapped the pastry in the middle, "Jiang Hao hasn't eaten yet." Tie it tightly, Patted and pressed on the chest.Only then did he take a breath and looked around, when suddenly there was a faint groan in his ear.

Jiang Fan's hair stood on end, the voice seemed to be very close to him, and the voice seemed to be behind him.Turn your head away slowly, there is nothing, the breath is still there.Jiang Fan circled the tree half a circle, and sure enough, there was a ghost lying there, curled up in a ball, it was the beggar ghost who bumped into him in the market.

The ghost looked in pain and was almost in a state of fainting. Big drops of sweat dripped down from his forehead. The rags on his body were all broken. Significantly increased.

While moaning mournfully, the ghost mechanically wrapped strips of cloth around his body. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, panting for a while after each wrap.Every time it was wrapped around, Jiang Fan could hear the bones crackling.The ghost was obviously in severe pain, but there was no rest in his hands.

Jiang Fan has seen this kind of situation before. The lonely ghosts who don't want to be reincarnated will repeat the tragic scene every year during the death sacrifice.Jiang Fan pushed his shoulder with his hand, "What's wrong with you?"

That ghost was originally an evil ghost, with a very ugly face, but now he was tortured like a skeleton, his clothes were soaked several times with his sweat, and he was so weak that he looked somewhat human.

It's not good for the beggar ghost to scream secretly. I already know that ghosts are the most painful, and this year is especially difficult.Touched by someone while in a coma, all the muscles in his body tensed immediately, and he opened his eyes trembling with fear, and finally focused his scattered eyes. When he saw clearly that it was Jiang Fan, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Benefactor, help~, please move me to the shade."

Jiang Fan looked up at the sky, the sun that should have risen on weekdays was now covered by a thin mist, dim and dull.This ghost is also lucky, as usual, as soon as the sun rises, all ghosts will disappear, and he can't help wandering in the Yin and Yang realms, and his soul will be scattered from then on, and there will be no such person in the world.

Jiang Fan put his hand under his armpit, and dragged the beggar ghost to move behind the tree. Jiang Fan had little strength, and the beggar ghost was extremely heavy. Every inch he moved, he heard the sound of "crackling", and the skeleton in his hand was so weak. It seems to be separated.

Jiang Fan was so anxious that his forehead was dripping with sweat, "Be patient a little longer." The cat lowered his waist, grabbed his hip bones with both hands, and dragged him backwards to the shade of the tree. The ghost was dragged apart by him, with one thigh and one arm It was caught by a tree root and pulled down, its neck was broken, and it dangled there. "Be careful, I've never seen such a rash fairy like you. Go, get my leg back."

Jiang Fan felt apologetic, so he made up his mind, picked it up tremblingly and connected it for him.

"How will you be here?"

The ghost looked at his tattered body, "Forget it, anyway, this body has been torn to pieces, it doesn't matter if there is more meat or less meat."

In the depths of the dense forest, a hazel leaf fell on the ground. Jiang Hao, who was searching carefully, moved his ears, listened attentively, and ran towards the place he came from with his sword upside down.

Just as Jiang Fan was in shock, he put his arm on the scattered ghost and looked back nervously, "Did you hear the sound just now? Is there a monster near this place?"

The ghost that was about to fall apart endured the pain and wrinkled his face, looking at the misty sun in the distance, "What can there be, only me." I hope it will be cloudy today. "Ah~" gasped, big drops of sweat popped out of his forehead, and soon trickled down his cheeks.

At that time, I was suffering until dawn, but now it is really torture, and if I endure it for a moment, I will suffer more.

Jiang Fan saw that the ghost stuck his five fingers into the soil, and his claws shrank suddenly with the attack of pain, "Ah~ah!" He raised his head and hissed in a low voice, the back of his head hit the big tree behind him, the situation was extremely miserable.

Jiang Fan couldn't help thinking that if he was caught by the devil one step too slowly, or if he had left one step earlier, infinite grief would suddenly surge in his heart.If I am not in the fairy class, I am just a lonely soul, and I have concerns in the world, so it must be the same?Opening his mouth, he spit out an inner alchemy from under his tongue, and then it gradually expanded in the palm of his hand, the inner alchemy glowed brightly, it was the glazed ball from before.

Jiang Fan sat cross-legged, luck passed, the ball floated close to the body of the beggar ghost, rose from the dantian, and then slowly moved around the whole body.After rolling around like this for a few times, the ghost's pain really decreased suddenly, and he gradually relaxed his brows, and then opened his eyes wide in surprise to see Jiang Fan's skill.He stared at Neidan and refused to move even a little bit, "What kind of good thing is this?" He got up to touch it.

Jiang Fan growled, "Don't move around."

Jiang Fan seemed to be feminine, dignified and solemn with a kind of majesty.The ghost really didn't dare to move around. Seeing Jiang Fan gradually withdrawing his breath and slowly coming over, he couldn't help but look him up and down, "I really didn't realize that you still have this ability."

They had a dispute in the market, Jiang Fan hated this ghost for being rude, and the beggar ghost also bullied him for being weak.Looking at each other now, I don't know what to say for a moment.

The ghost scratched the back of his head, tore off the cloth strips that fixed the skeleton on his body, clicked and clicked the sternum and leg bones together, and then arched his arms forward, his back was tight, and the bones of his back were fully integrated After exercising his hands and feet, he clasped his fists at Jiang Fan, "Thank you for your kindness."

Jiang Fan smiled indifferently, "Jiang Fan is the land of Luoyang. Where is Xiongtai from? How did he end up in such a situation? Although I am a land, I am also a god. If you have any grievances, I will definitely decide for you .”

Jiang Fan looked like a parent and official, the ghost looked at Jiang Fan from top to bottom, thought for a while and smiled impatiently, "Sure enough, people can't be judged by appearances. I didn't expect you to be so weak, but you are still a land, and you are so righteous." .Actually, I have nothing to say about my affairs.”

The ghost sat on the ground and said slowly, "I was from Niujia Village, [-] miles east of here, and I'm drinking a cup of tea."

Niu Yiming's father died young, and his mother supported his family. When he was ten years old, his mother died of a serious illness. His 14-year-old sister sold her body to make a living and buried her mother.

"The ancestors of the Zhu family have a blessing, which has been passed down for eight generations, and they are still a prominent family in the local area. The two of us, siblings, thought that it would be better to suffer a little anger from a rich family, just to be ridiculed, than to live on the streets without food and clothing."

Unexpectedly, the main wife of the Zhu family is jealous, and Weng Gu is unruly and domineering. After entering the family for more than two years, her elder sister was humiliated by the family law, so the two met and escaped.that day...

"That day was also the same night. The sky was just dim, foggy and windy, and we fled into this jungle. I was in front, and my sister followed behind." Niu Yiming's voice was hoarse and his eyes darkened, as if the scene of that day was vividly remembered. head.

"Accidentally fell into a hunter's trap, and that's how I went. After becoming a ghost, I couldn't worry about my sister. As soon as my soul entered the underworld, I took advantage of Impermanence's lax supervision, so I escaped. As a result, I only saw my sister's soft body at the edge of the pit." I searched all over Zhu's house and found no trace of the luggage, and Niu Yumei has never been reincarnated."

Jiang Fan was puzzled, "How do you know she hasn't been reincarnated?"

Niu Yiming frowned, "I've been staying down here, and I haven't seen her come. And the ghost servant by the Wangchuan River was bribed by me, and said to keep an eye out for me. It's been decades, but I've never seen this person. "

"Perhaps you missed it?"

Niu Yiming was silent and speechless, he died a miserable death, and his body was full of resentment, unable to go to heaven or reincarnated, wandering on the road to Huangquan, only thinking about his sister.It has been two years since Yuan Jiu hijacked him here with the Soul Binding Technique, and he doesn't know if the ghost servant has changed shifts or if he has seen his sister.

"No matter, I always have to find out where she is before I can rest assured."

Jiang Fan was greatly moved. When he was not a fairy, Ruyi almost promised someone to be a maiden in order to save Jiang Hao.The first-milk compatriots have a deep affection for siblings, which is comparable to ordinary people.

Jiang Fan used his brains, "If you cross the Naihe bridge, you must have a guide to be reincarnated. The guide must have the seal of the city god. I have a friend who is the city god. Please ask him to check in the copy, and you will know that your sister has There is no reincarnation. Your sister's birth date told me that you are weak alone, maybe there is a leak, and I don't know. If it is convenient, I will make inquiries for you."

Niu Yiming hesitated for a moment, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "The benefactor is accepting, please accept the next obeisance." Jiang Fan looked ashamed, and quickly said, "I dare not do it." He helped Niu Yiming up.

Niu Yiming looked at him with burning eyes, "The benefactor should also pay attention to that fellow Yuan Jiu, he is dedicated to poaching people's hearts and sucking the yin energy of an immortal like you."

Although Jiang Fan was quite upset when he heard the word Xiaxian, Niu Yiming kindly told him that what he said was true and impeccable, not to mention that he was indeed a Xiaxian.Thinking of the feeling of being weak and weak when approaching Yuan Jiu's mouth and nose, he couldn't help shivering, and quickly thanked Niu Yiming.

Niu Yiming stood up, "Don't thank me, my benefactor. I am the same person as him. As the saying goes, 'Save people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west.' Since you have a spirit bead, give it to me! You have it!" I no longer have to suffer from back erosion, and it has greatly improved my practice. If one day I become an immortal, it must be my luck. Not only will I be able to find my sister, but I will also be able to take my sister to escape from the world, and live in peace from now on .Bring it!"

Niu Yiming reached out and attacked Jiang Fan's chest.
