Picking up a greedy snake [Liao Zhai]

Chapter 29 Liancheng

Gu Huai stood blankly in the rain for a long time, his mind in a mess.He quietly turned his head and found that the person standing behind him had already left.While letting out a sigh of relief, there was some sourness in my heart.

He dragged his weary pace towards home, his wet clothes were coldly stuck to his body, making him tremble all over.

He sneezed twice in a row, his head became dizzy, and he felt that he must have caught a cold.

In the distance, on the opposite side, a drenched figure stumbling towards him.Gu Huai stopped in his tracks, looked at the figure, opened his mouth and called out, "Young Master Qiao."

The man sped towards Gu Huai and put his hands on his shoulders.Qiao Sheng's lips were pale from the cold, and the rain slid down his cheeks.He asked Gu Huai excitedly and weakly: "Where is Liancheng? Are you really married to Wang Huacheng?"

Gu Huai trembled all over, not knowing how to answer.

"you answer me!"

"Liancheng..." Gu Huai slowly rolled his eyes to look at Qiao Sheng, and two lines of tears rolled down his eyes, "Liancheng is already dead."

Qiao Sheng froze there as if struck by lightning.

Gu Huai held his hand on his shoulder and squeezed it hard, trying to comfort him.

Qiao Sheng threw him away, trembling and falling, crying and rolling on the ground, obviously losing all reason, like a crying baby.

Gu Huai bent down sadly and tried to help Qiao Sheng, but he pushed him away again and again.

I don't know how long it took, but the rain gradually stopped.Qiao Sheng seemed to be tired from crying too, and his crying became weaker and weaker. In the end, he was completely lifeless and lay motionless on the ground.

Gu Huai felt that something was wrong, so he quickly turned the person on the ground over.

Qiao Sheng's face was pale, his teeth were clenched on his lower lip, and his expression was a bit ferocious.One hand clutched his chest in pain, his chest was stained scarlet with blood.

"Young Master Qiao," Gu Huai supported Qiao Sheng, anxiously wanting to check his wounds, "How did you do this?"

"At that time, Liancheng was ill. In order to save her, I cut off the flesh on her chest."

"Why has your injury not healed for so long?"

Qiao Sheng shook his head: "At that time, I learned that Shi Xiaolian still betrothed Liancheng to Wang Huacheng. I was really unwilling, but there was nothing I could do. So, every day, I would cut the old wound with a knife and use the pain in my body to heal it. Cover the pain in your heart."

Gu Huai imagined that scene for a while, then shuddered, and his flesh began to ache.

Qiao Sheng struggled to get up from the ground, staggered and didn't take two steps, then fell to the ground with a "plop" and there was no more movement.

Gu Huai's heart trembled, and he hurried forward to call Qiao Sheng.I saw blood gushing out from Qiao Sheng's body, staining the stagnant water on the ground red.Without saying a word, he carried Qiao Sheng on his back and ran to the hospital.

Qiao Sheng was lying on the sickbed, unconscious.The doctor stopped the bleeding with herbs, and Gu Huai sat beside him and watched over him.

During this day, after experiencing so many things, he was also physically and mentally exhausted, so he leaned back on the chair and fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.

The door of the room was pushed open with a "squeak", and a figure walked into the room lightly, and stopped beside Gu Huai.

Gu Huai felt a black shadow covering him, frowned, and was about to open his eyes.Seeing this, the man turned his hand and drew a cloud of light green smoke, pushing it into his temple, and Gu Huai slumped back on the back of the chair again.

Lan Yuyan bent down, smoothed Gu Huai's frowning brows, carried him from the chair to the bed beside him, pulled the quilt for him, and kissed him at the corner of his eyes.

Lan Yuyan turned around and walked to Qiao Sheng's sick bed, two fingers drew a green light in the air, and pierced into Qiao Sheng's body.In an instant, a cloud of smoke rose above Qiao Sheng's body, gradually gathering into a human form.

Qiao Sheng's soul stretched out his hands in confusion, looked at his physical body lying on the sickbed, and then at his translucent body: "This is me, dead?"

His expression and tone didn't show the slightest bit of backsliding or fear, and there was even a hint of excitement.

Lan Yuyan shook her head: "No, I summoned your soul not to take your life, but to save others."

"Save who?"

"Liancheng."

"Really... Really?" Qiao Sheng's voice began to tremble with excitement.

"But you have to think about it, if you can't save Liancheng, the two of you will fall into the endless hell together, and you will never be able to be reborn forever. In this way, are you still willing?"

Qiao Sheng replied resolutely: "If I can't save her, I'd rather die. Liancheng died for love, what's the point of living alone?"

Lan Yuyan nodded: "Then you come with me."

After finishing speaking, he took off the cloak and picked up Qiao Sheng's soul, shook it twice in his hand, and left with the soul in his pocket.

Lan Yuyan brought Qiao Sheng's soul to the underworld and released him.Qiao Sheng turned around a few times in a daze, and found that the surroundings were dark, only a group of orange-red candles faintly flashed in front of him.

Qiao Sheng looked at Lan Yuyan in panic: "Where is this place, Liancheng?"

"I went to ask Lord Yan, and he agreed to give you a chance." Lan Yuyan reached out and pointed at the candle, "Go get that candle, and Liancheng's soul will follow you. You take Candles go to Wang’s house, I’ll wait for you with the soul crossing array set up later. If you deliver the candles with your own hands, I will be able to send Liancheng’s soul into her body.”

"Thank you, Great Immortal." Qiao Sheng wanted to kneel down and bow his head to Lan Yuyan with mixed feelings, but Lan Yuyan held him up with one hand.

"Don't thank me in a hurry, you have to do it by yourself after all. You must remember that you must not let the candle go out, and what's more, you must not turn back along the way. If you violate one point, The two of you will never be reborn. Remember?"

"Xiaosheng must remember it!" Qiao Sheng clasped his fists at him, was stunned to see Lan Yuyan showing a satisfied smile, and then disappeared in front of him.

When Gu Huai woke up, he felt a splitting headache, accompanied by a biting chill, which made him shiver all over.As soon as he pulled up the quilt, he was pulled into a warm and generous embrace.

Gu Huai raised his head and stared blankly at the person who appeared suddenly, feeling a little dazed for a while, unable to remember what happened just now.

Lan Yuyan looked at Gu Huai's dazed face, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you awake?"

The memory came back to Gu Huai's mind, he struggled to push away Lan Yuyan, and kneaded his brows wearily.

"Still angry with me?" Lan Yuyan's voice choked.

Gu Huai didn't know what to say, so he simply ignored him.

Lan Yuyan leaned down, leaned into his ear, and said softly: "Don't be angry, I will make amends to you. I have a way to make Liancheng return to the sun, would you like to help?"

Gu Huai suddenly raised his head and looked at Lan Yuyan in surprise.

Lan Yuyan smiled triumphantly, with an expression like a child who has just done a good deed and is waiting for an adult to praise: "I'm going to beg the Lord of Hell to get Liancheng's soul back. Now I'm going to Wang's house to set up a formation, you Will you stay with me? I want you by my side."

Gu Huai eagerly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, but he was so weak that he was about to fall down as soon as he stood up.Lan Yuyan quickly supported him, and touched Gu Huai's slender and smooth neck, only to find that the temperature of the skin under his hands was terribly high.

"Strange, why do you feel so hot today?" Lan Yuyan murmured suspiciously.As a fairy family, he has never been sick, and he has never seen others get sick.

Gu Huai froze for a moment, then anxiously pushed Lan Yuyan away, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't say there's nothing left, let's go quickly and save Liancheng."
