Leaving Jiange, Gu Xu and Xue Nu quickly arrived in Longzhou.
The landform here is crisscrossed with criss-crossing ravines, and it was the main transportation route of the Qi Dynasty that ran through the capital and the northwest frontier.
At Xue Nu's request, the two tasted the local flower cakes, water chestnut cakes and cold dishes in Longzhou. Xue Nu once again shared Gu Xu's senses with the "Jinghong Pen" and experienced the long-lost Delicious food on earth.
Perhaps because there is a "fierce god" by his side, the court will not attack them easily without sufficient preparation.
These days sometimes make Gu Xu feel... An illusion.
It seems that he is not on the run at all, but traveling around the wilderness with the snow girl.
People who meet them always think of them as lovers. Husband and wife.
For example, when they passed a temple on the outskirts of Longzhou, several young monks stood in front of them and asked them if the donor wanted a fortune.
Xu Ben wanted to refuse.
His divination skills are among the best in the world, and he can predict fortune through the astrolabe, which is much more reliable than the fortune tellers in this ruined temple.
However, Xue Nu was deeply curious about this.
She pulled Gu Xu’s sleeves, lowered her head, pursed her lips, and stood at the door of the ruined temple, refusing to move forward.
< p>Like a child who is pestering his parents to buy toys.Gu Xu did not expect that a female ghost with the strength of a saint would one day act coquettishly in front of him, even though her expression was still cold when she acted coquettishly. Dan, his temperament was still calm, but compared to the first few days when they met, he had a lot more human atmosphere.
He nodded, agreed to her request, took out a few coins and handed it over. Give it to the little monk.
The little monks smiled and hugged the tube.
The snow girl stretched out her fair and slender hand, hesitated for a long time, and carefully picked up one.
I only saw the content of the signature:
"Because of the lotus, I got the lotus root, and there are apricots and plum blossoms."
The snow girl has been reading poetry since she was a child, and she knows that this is a homophonic couplet. The homophonic meaning is "Why did you get a good match? Fortunately, you don't need a matchmaker." It means that you are lucky enough to get a good match and don't need a matchmaker.
The young monks congratulated her repeatedly, saying that she had won the best lottery, and wished her the best in the future. They have been together for a long time and have a son soon.
Hearing their words, Xue Nu glanced at Gu Xu and quickly looked away, wanting to peek at his expression, but she was afraid to look at him. .
Gu Xu also grabbed a tag, which said "It means the phoenix is flying and singing in harmony."
It means like a pair of phoenixes soaring in the sky, playing the piano and the harp in harmony, growing old together.
It is also a lucky sign.
Gu Xu glanced at the young monks with a half-smile and said, "The lotus tubes you have in them are all good luck and good luck."
The young monks also I want to pretend that the donors are lucky and they don’t know anything.
Gu Xu ignored them and gently patted Xue Nu’s shoulder to signal herLeave the temple.
"It's just a trick to cheat money," he explained. "Most of the people who come to this ruined temple to pray are young women from Longzhou City who want to seek good omens for their marriages.
"These monks don't know how to divination, but they know how to do what they want. You see, all of their pockets are full of copper coins."
The Snow Girl said "Hmm" , said nothing.
When Gu Xu's voice sounded, she felt that a colorful bubble in her heart was suddenly popped, feeling empty and uncomfortable.
At this moment she was obviously very close to Gu Xu.
But for some reason, in her perception, it seemed like there was a world apart.
At the end of the road, four people stood in the shadows, watching Gu Xu and Xue Nu go further and further away.
One is a storyteller holding a cattail leaf fan.
One is an old man with a white beard wearing a dark blue robe.
One
is a hunchbacked old man with a ravaged face.
One is a gloomy middle-aged man carrying a wooden frame on his shoulders. There are mice jumping on the wooden frame.
"I have already written the story," Mr. Storyteller said first, "You have all listened to it, what do you think?"
"I just asked you to think of a way. Let them cooperate with me to complete the ceremony," the old white-bearded Taoist said calmly, "I didn't expect you to spend so much time trying to bring their love together."
"What we practice is the way of cause and effect." The storyteller said, "If the stories we write are widely circulated, then the power of our spells will be even more powerful."
"In this world, there will be more forbidden love than the human race and the female ghost." Is there a more popular story?"
"Yes," the hunchbacked old man interjected, "Embroidered couch, wild history, great Chu Taizu Yanshi, meat futon, lamp grass monk"
"Shut up," The old man with white beard interrupted him, "Now is not the time to discuss these filthy things."
"For us to be promoted to the Ghost King, we need to sacrifice one hundred thousand souls," the storyteller continued, " But in the Western Territory of Daqi, we can't find the second Nine-Baby Snake Monster sealed underground. Under such circumstances, the best way to cause a large-scale killing is to make the Snow Girl lose control.
“She controls the Ice and Snow Avenue, and her killing efficiency is much higher than ours.
“It’s just that, with the help of Gu Xu’s blood, she has suppressed her killing instinct at this stage. An Ran is in a human town.
"If you want her to release her instincts, the best way is to let something happen to Gu Xu and do it at the hands of the Da Qi court."< /p>
"Are you so sure that Snow Girl will go on a killing spree for Gu Xu?" The gloomy middle-aged man who had been silent suddenly said, "Last time we held a ceremony, she was riding an ice crane there to save people. "
"Actually, she has already fallen in love with him," the storyteller chuckled, "No.Then I won't pester him to go to the temple to ask for a marriage fortune. There is no need for us to use causal magic to force the match.
“But now she feels very inferior and feels that as a ghost, she is not worthy of him.
“Oh, to be honest, I am a little envious of that guy Gu Xu now. Look at the threads of karma on his body. The female kingdom leader of Dayan, the female disciples of Jiange, and the female officials of the Exorcism Department, so many beautiful women are very affectionate towards him.
"After being promoted, Let's forget about turning this guy into a clone. When it comes to dealing with women, a good-looking skin is still very useful."
"But Gu Xu doesn't seem to be attracted to her." The gloomy middle-aged man. humane.
"To be precise, he doesn't have the guts," the hunchbacked old man commented, "After all, no prey would take the initiative to get close to its natural enemy
"And that one is called Shi Xiaohan The girl has occupied too important a position in his heart. For her, he is not even willing to be the wife of the Yan Kingdom."
"Gu Xu's thoughts don't matter," White Beard said. The old man said, "As long as the snow girl is willing to stand up for him, that is enough."
"You are right." The gloomy middle-aged man nodded.
"Besides, even if the snow girl refuses to take action, I still have the backup plan to force her to do it." The white-bearded old man cleared his throat and took out a simple wooden hairpin from his sleeve.
"What is this?" asked the gloomy middle-aged man.
"You only care about playing with mice all day long, and you have even forgotten such an important thing." The white-bearded old man glanced at the gloomy middle-aged man with disdain, "This is what Lu Shiyao committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. Later, we took it from her corpse and turned it into a ghost using the "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique". We also made this thing into a tool to control her.
"As long as the hairpin is broken off, her remaining humanity will completely disappear and she will become an irrational ghost who only kills indiscriminately."
"Then why do we Don't use this thing directly." The gloomy middle-aged man frowned, "Why do we have to spend so much effort to write stories and scripts?"
"To this day, Snow Girl is still the most perfect work we have created. ," the white-bearded veteran said slowly, "Her remaining humanity is the unique essence of this work. If possible, I don't want to destroy her
easily.
" Moreover, as long as we write this story and make it come true smoothly, our achievements in the Path of Cause and Effect can be further improved.
"Remember, before the promotion ceremony is completed, we will have to wait until the completion of the promotion ceremony. It can be the director or the audience, but it is definitely not an actor on stage. "The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the mode." Thank you,,
