The boy's words evoked more memories of the girl.
She recited the name "Lu Shiyao" repeatedly in her mind, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.
At the same time, the titles Gu Xu gave her as "beauty" and "talented woman" also made her feel a little embarrassed.
She lowered her head, not daring to look into Gu Xu's eyes.
"Young Master, you praise me too much," she said in a voice that sounded like a mosquito. "The rumors outside are too exaggerated. Young Master, please don't believe them easily."
"Look down." The boy interrupted her.
Hearing his words, the girl obediently lowered her head and looked down.
In the water on the ground, she saw her own reflection, with black hair like ink, white clothes than snow, and a pale face, as if she were sick. Under the starlight, she looked like a fairy in the mist, beautiful and unsulliable. watch intently.
"The quiet night is dark, the floating light is misty, the cold moon is melting," Gu Xu recited softly, paused, and then continued, "As the saying goes, beauty is in the bones but not in the skin. The monsters in this house are Even if I try my best, I can't imitate your expression."
The "demon" girl narrowed her eyes, as if she had guessed something.
“This house was originally your territory,” Gu Xu explained, “but those monsters and ghosts broke in, took over what originally belonged to you, and even wanted to replace you and remove you from this place. Completely erased from the world."
"Then what should I do?" Gu Xu's words made the girl panic.
She really didn’t know how to fight against the evil spirits in the whole house on her own.
"You are the real master here. There is a powerful power hidden in your soul that even you can't imagine." Gu Xu pointed at her chest, slowed down and said seriously, "As long as If you really wake up, none of them will be your opponent."
The girl who "really wakes up" is a little confused.
She is obviously awake at the moment, how could she wake up again
Is it possible that she is actually in a dream now?
At this moment, Suddenly there was a roar from the crowd not far away.
The two of them turned their heads and looked together.
I saw all the servants, maids, coachmen, gardeners, cooks, etc. in the mansion rushing towards them in a swarm.
They all have faces that are similar in appearance but not similar in spirit to girls, and expressions as stiff and dull as if painted with ink.
In their hands, they all held riding whips, saws, kitchen knives, sewing needles and other tools, as if they wanted to cut them into pieces and eat them alive.
Seeing such a scene, the girl shivered instinctively.
She reached out to grab Gu Xu's sleeve, trying to lead him into the house and escape.
But before she could take action, Gu Xu took a step forward and stood in front of her.
As he slowly raised his hand, the bodies of the people in front of him, or in other words, the demons and monsters, were burning with azure blue energy.The flames are like the bright tail of a comet when it falls.
In the blink of an eye, all the monsters and monsters were wiped out.
The girl stood there blankly, unable to believe her eyes for a moment.
"Young Master is so awesome." She sighed from the bottom of her heart, even forgetting that her hands were still tightly holding Gu Xu's sleeves.
"Miss Lu is so complimentary," Gu Xu smiled faintly, and then pointed to the starry sky above his head with his other finger, "The range of this starry sky is about ten miles. Within more than ten miles, no one or any ghost is my opponent.
“But outside this range, it’s different.
"Any monster can push me to the ground and ravage me."
"How could this happen?" The girl couldn't understand.
When Gu Xu suddenly appeared in front of her and rescued her from danger, she already regarded him as an omnipotent hero in her heart.
"I'm just a passerby, I don't belong to this world," Gu Xu explained, "And this world is also rejecting me and trying every means to drive me out.
" Supporting this starry sky is already the limit of my ability. "
"Don't leave. "Hearing Gu Xu's words, the girl said without thinking.
She could have endured the darkness if she had never seen the light.
At this moment, she was no longer willing to imagine what would happen if What a terrible scene it would be for Gu Xu to leave here and leave her alone among these monsters
Gu Xu smiled and did not directly respond to her request, but said, "While we are here, My Hoshigaki Domain can last for a while, how about I tell you a story?"
"Yeah. "The girl nodded.
Actually, she doesn't care what the content of the story is.
As long as the boy's voice rings in her ears, her heart will be filled with a sense of security.< /p>
So, Gu Xu told her about the Lu family who were punished for treason, about the Miss Lu family who was both talented and beautiful but unfortunately turned into a ghost, and about going to the haunted house. The young official of the Exorcism Department who was on a mission, and his experience of being wanted by the court and forced to flee to Yishan
The girl listened to his story attentively, and felt that the memories in her mind became more and more Clearly.
When Gu Xu talked about the unconscious Snow Girl and shared her senses with the fleeing boy through the Jinghong Pen, her heartstrings were inadvertently touched, and a few tears welled up in her eyes. Under the shining of starlight, it is more transparent and brighter than pearls.
“It turns out that I am no longer a human being.” She couldn’t help but sigh softly.
“You have become a ghost. It's not out of your original intention," Gu Xu said, "In my opinion, you are more like a real person than many people in this world. "
"Do you really think so?" The girl raised her head slightly and looked into Gu Xu's eyes.
"A noble soul is not always free from dust," GuXu smiled and said, "But after going through hardships, he can still remain pure and transparent."
As he spoke, the girl noticed that his figure was gradually fading, becoming translucent, as if he had transformed into a human being. There was a wisp of smoke that could disappear in front of her at any time.
And the starry sky above her head gradually became dim.
Indistinctly, she heard the roar of the violent storm again.
"I have to go," Gu Xu continued after a brief silence, "My star can't last long. To deal with the monsters here, you still have to rely on yourself. "
"Don't leave," the girl grasped his sleeve and said again. Her eyes were like autumn water, filled with endless worries.
"I'm sorry, Lu Shiyao," he called her name at the moment when Gu Xu's figure was about to disappear, "my power is really limited. Only you can truly get us out of the predicament in front of us. Bureau.
"I will wait for you in the outside world. ”
The outside world
Is it outside this house?
And what does he mean by “waking up”
The girl looked at the place where Gu Xu's figure disappeared, looking dazed.
The next second, the starry sky above her head was lost in thick black clouds.
There was thunder and heavy rain fell, ,
