The years I was in the human world

The puppet suddenly attacked Xiao Fengzhuo, who reacted quickly and turned over to avoid it. Unexpectedly, the puppet gained consciousness in Lu Zhouxue's past body and inherited his unfinished cultivation. It actually summoned the white silk of heaven to surround Xiao Fengzhuo.

When Xiao Fengzhuo saw the white silk, his expression changed slightly in an instant, and he became more serious. He flipped several times in the air, and when he was on his back, the sharp silk thread just brushed the tip of his nose. He did not dare to take it lightly. He hooked the tassel on the hilt of the scimitar at his waist with his right hand and pulled it. The scimitar was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed in an instant.

"Clang——" With a crisp sound of metal collision, Tian Baisi and Xiao Fengzhuo's scimitar were entangled together, and they were in a stalemate for a moment.

"I was wondering where you got the courage to provoke us, it turns out you rely on this thing." Xiao Fengzhuo glanced at the Tianbai silk controlled by the puppet's fingertips, his eyes fell on Peacock, and meeting her cold and cruel eyes, it was easy for him to guess the reason why the puppet had gained consciousness.

"Brother, do it." Kong Que ignored Xiao Fengzhuo. She gave an order to the puppet, and then, regardless of the wound on her stomach, she drew her sword and swung a sharp sword energy at the weak Xie Huaiyu.

Lu Zhouxue raised her hand and created an air shield to block it, but she didn't expect that the girl was just feinting, and the sword pointed directly at Xiao Feng's throat.

"A Zhuo!" Lu Zhouxue called out the name that Xiao Fengzhuo was usually addressed to in a hurry.

At that moment, the scimitar flashed with cold light, and Xiao Fengzhuo's body moved as fast as lightning, using the moves that Kongque had taught him when he first learned sword at Phoenix Terrace. The cold and arrogant woman's face changed in an instant. She looked at the knife in Xiao Fengzhuo's hand and asked in doubt: "Xiao Handao! What is your relationship with Xiao Fengzhuo?"

"Guess?" Xiao Fengzhuo smiled but did not answer. He twisted his waist at an extremely tricky angle and kicked the sword out of Peacock's hand. At the same time, he twisted his wrist and broke free from the white silk wrapped around the scimitar. He ignored the puppet and rushed in front of Peacock like lightning and grabbed her throat.

"Little girl, you are really cruel and ruthless." Xiao Fengzhuo said with a fake smile in ventriloquy, and glanced casually at the puppet that wanted to pounce on him and fight him because its master was captured. His tone suddenly turned cold, "Why don't you tell it to be quiet? Do you want to see whose hand is faster, its or mine?"

As Xiao Fengzhuo spoke, he tightened his hand around Peacock, without any mercy.

Kong Qing was strangled so hard that she had difficulty breathing, but she glanced at Xiao Fengzhuo's face with her eyes sideways, and her expression was complicated and weird.

Xiao Fengzhuo became more alert, but before he could ask anything, Kong Qing suddenly began to bleed from all seven orifices, and his bleeding eyes were still staring at his face without blinking, like a resentful ghost.

There were also some white larvae mixed with the blood flowing out of the peacock's mouth, which looked like flies that grew from the blood of a rotting corpse. All that came to his face was decay and death. Xiao Fengzhuo's face changed little by little. He loosened his hand that was pinching the peacock's neck, frowned and said hesitantly: "...what are you..."

Peacock staggered back a few steps, spat out the blood in her mouth, raised her bleeding face, and looked at Xiao Fengzhuo with a complicated expression. Meeting the latter's slightly surprised look, she suddenly smiled and said, "Little Spoon, so you are alive too."

After saying this, Kong Que looked at Lu Zhouxue, whose face was covered with scars and had been greatly changed. He was in a trance for a moment: "Then he should be Lu Zhouxue."

"Sure enough, in the end, it was only my mother who turned into dry bones." Kong Qing stretched out her mouth to smile sarcastically, and then choked on the dirty blood that surged up in her throat. She covered her lips and coughed heart-wrenchingly, breaking the wound on her abdomen.

The blood flowing out of the wound in her abdomen was also black, also carrying white larvae, with a foul smell. Lu Zhouxue took a step forward with a serious expression and pulled Xiao Fengzhuo back. The broken end of the Beifeng Broken Sword pointed at Kongque: "Who are you?"

"What am I?" Peacock asked back, then lowered his head and muttered to himself nervously, "I am a peacock, the daughter of the phoenix, a sinner who killed the gods, an aging corpse, anything, who knows."

A pair of bloody hands suddenly stretched out from the wound in the peacock's abdomen. The hands grabbed both ends of the wound and tore the peacock in half from the inside like peeling a fruit. The woman's face with a sarcastic expression was torn in half like cloth and fell loosely on the ground.

A naked woman covered in blood stood up from the pile of flesh and blood. Xiao Fengzhuo raised his knife and chopped at her without hesitation. The puppet reacted very quickly and controlled the Tianbai silk to block Xiao Fengzhuo's knife. It walked over without leaving any trace on the snow and ran away holding the newborn woman.

"Don't chase." Xiao Fengzhuo was about to follow, but Lu Zhouxue stopped him with a frown on his face.

"What was that just now?" Xie Huaiyu gestured to the two of them in doubt. Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he had never encountered a situation like Peacock. Judging from the insects mixed in the blood she vomited, she had clearly been dead for a long time. Why did she behave so normally before?

"She is using her own blood to nourish the puppet." Xiao Fengzhuo put the scimitar back into the scabbard. No one coming and going in this undead city is a living person. As long as there is no blood leakage, they will turn a blind eye to anything.

The peacock had been dead for a long time. Even though it was covered in blood, it was still a dead object in the eyes of the ghosts in the Undead City and did not attract any attention.

"Her blood was sucked dry, and I don't know how she was regenerated with her old body." Lu Zhouxue used her spiritual power to transform an ice spike and picked up the fallen skin of the peacock, turning it over and over to examine it carefully. The internal organs had long been rotten, and maggots were crawling in the flesh, emitting a rotten stench.

Logically speaking, they should have noticed this level of corruption long ago, but until Peacock tore her body apart and regenerated, neither Lu Zhouxue nor Xiao Fengzhuo noticed: "This body is already completely rotten, what on earth does she want to do?"

"In the hundred years since you died, she has always wanted to resurrect you." The one who answered Lu Zhouxue's question was Xie Huaiyu. His cultivation was not good enough to transmit secret messages like the other two, so he could only write frantically on the ground.

"This time, she personally brought the outstanding disciples of Zhong Ting's generation to the old royal capital in order to summon your soul from the place where you died." However, she didn't expect that before they arrived at the old royal capital, Lu Zhouxue was summoned by him first.

"Resurrect me? Why?" Lu Zhouxue couldn't understand Kong Que's motive. After all, he had asked the girl that year, and Kong Que wished he would die immediately so that her mother could live. Why didn't she rush to resurrect Zhu Huang after he died, but was thinking about him instead?

"Maybe it's out of gratitude for your kindness." Xie Huaiyu wrote on the ground uncertainly. He didn't know that Kong Que had stabbed Lu Zhouxue in the back. He only heard from Wei Ruge that Lu Zhouxue treated Kong Que very well and personally asked Baili Changqing to clear Zhu Huang's name on her behalf. He thought Kong Que did all this to revive his benefactor.

"Before I died in my previous life, I heard from the Ghost King that after your divine bones were removed, she picked up a set of demon bones and replaced them with them. She also personally sewed up the remains with ice silk and kept them with her. It was rumored in the court that he was her lover."

Lu Zhouxue shuddered in disgust at Xie Huaiyu's explanation, but Xiao Fengzhuo listened with great interest. After Xie Huaiyu finished speaking, he asked another question, "Demon bone? Whose?"

"It seems to be the former leader of the demon tribe. The demon princess even fought with Peacock several times because of this..." Xie Huaiyu was writing when he suddenly got stuck. He suddenly looked up at Xiao Fengzhuo, then realized something, turned to look at Lu Zhouxue, and wrote hesitantly,

"Master, is the demon corpse you are carrying his?" The "he" here naturally refers to Xiao Fengzhuo.

"Puff." Without waiting for Lu Zhouxue to reply, Xiao Fengzhuo sneered first. He also squatted down, took the ice spike from Lu Zhouxue's hand, and poked at the peacock's rotten and smelly skin, consciously checking it. Lu Zhouxue stared at his movements for a moment and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"This girl does have a conscience. She first removed my bones and then insulted your corpse." Xiao Fengzhuo answered the question irrelevantly. He and Lu Zhouxue simply ignored Xie Huaiyu's words "grateful for the favor". If she was really grateful, she would definitely not stab Lu Zhouxue at that time.

Xiao Fengzhuo continued to rummage for a while, then opened the clothes wrapped around the leather bag, revealing something that was not particularly beautiful. Although it was a little rotten and had maggots crawling around, one could still roughly tell what it was: "Mianmian, look, when did this peacock become a man?"

"This is not her body." Lu Zhouxue reacted immediately, and soon he thought of the woman who was taken away by the puppet, "The woman who crawled out..."

"Mianmian, do you think that girl Kong Que will really be grateful?" Xiao Fengzhuo suddenly asked a nonsensical question. He had seen the words that Kong Que said before Lu Zhouxue's death in the Sad Red Mirror.

In front of Lu Zhouxue, she said, "You are here, mother is dead. If you don't die, mother can't come back", attributing all the motives to her desire to resurrect her mother.

After Lu Zhouxue died, in front of everyone, she acted as if she missed her old friend and was grateful to him. Then she picked out Xiao Fengzhuo's demon bones and put them into Lu Zhouxue's body.

All of Peacock's actions are driven by something called "friendship", which seems reasonable, but when applied to her, it is full of hypocrisy and incompatibility.

"She should know something that others don't know." Xiao Fengzhuo stood up, lowered his eyes to look at the leather bag on the ground, and then said a piece of news in a calm tone that even Lu Zhouxue was surprised by, "Yuluan Palace has been rebuilt."

The words were not clear, at least Xie Huaiyu could not understand them. Only Lu Zhouxue, who also came from Buzhou Mountain, knew what this sentence meant. Xiao Fengzhuo looked at him intently and asked, "Is it you?"

"No." Lu Zhouxue shook his head. Strictly speaking, he had failed in his tribulation because he died in the human world. At least for now, it was not yet time for him to reshape his godhood, but the Yuluan Palace had been rebuilt, which meant that a new god had been born.

"Who is that? Mianmian, let's think further ahead. Why did they choose Yu Zhao to deal with the Dongshan disaster?" Xiao Fengzhuo asked softly. He smiled and suddenly pointed at Xie Huaiyu beside him. "And him, why did Xiao Ling let him go when he slaughtered the entire Xie family?"

“Who is the god they want to create?”

On the altar, a perpetual lamp was burning.

The ghost palace was eerie and the year-round darkness made it even more dead silent. The Ghost King was still offering incense in the incense burner under the seat of the god as usual, like a devout believer. Only at this time, Xiao Yueheng's eyes were clear.

Creaky - the tightly closed palace door behind him was opened, and the woman's long shadow was cast in. She glanced at the imposing statue on the altar, sneered softly, and said, "Worship the gods? You seem to be getting more and more cowardly?"

"Have you completed today's offering?" Xiao Yueheng pretended not to hear the woman's mocking words and wiped the table bit by bit with a handkerchief in his hand.

"Not yet. Two troublesome guys came in. Your bamboo-clothed ghost also robbed me of one person. Today's offering is not enough." said the woman.

"Not enough." Xiao Yueheng bit her lip in distress, and sighed after a moment, "Then bring a few more to the human world."

"Don't worry. What's missing is not the blood of ordinary people anyway." The woman smiled and walked to Xiao Yueheng. The latter's profile was gentle and quiet. She had a very good appearance, even more beautiful than the puppet she had painstakingly pieced together with Lu Zhouxue's corpse.

"Where is Lin Xiyang's body?" She asked casually, staring at Xiao Yueheng's face as if she were admiring a work of art.

"I don't know." Xiao Yueheng said lightly. He bent down and dipped the handkerchief in his hand into the bucket and rubbed it to wash it. Then he wrung out the water and continued to kneel on the ground to wipe Lingtai's feet.

"How could you not know?" The woman grabbed Xiao Yueheng's jaw and forced him to look up. "What's wrong with me becoming a god? I will agree to the conditions you made with the Wuxian people and the demon tribe. Tell me, where is his body, ok?"

"You're growing up very fast, Kong Qing." Xiao Yueheng stared at the woman for a while, then smiled. He raised his hand and pried open her hand that was pinching his jaw, and said slowly, "Now the entire Ghost Mansion is yours. If you need anything, just give an order and they will find it for you. Why bother asking me?"

"They don't know where you hid the body, and neither does Yaoguang." Xiao Yueheng played dumb with her, but Kong Qing was not angry. She took the handkerchief from Xiao Yueheng's hand, squatted down and looked into his eyes. "You men all like to talk about love, and then you all have weaknesses. Xiao Yueheng, do you think Gongsun Wuyin knows where you hid the body?"

"How about I go ask him?" Kong Qing thought for a moment and then said, "He is a sexy ghost. I remember that Senior Brother Qi Yu had a brief romance with him. Should we let them meet again?"

Gongsun Wuyin is not afraid of Qi Yu, but if Kong Qing interferes, who knows if he will end up with his soul torn to pieces.

Xiao Yueheng's eyes changed.

"Tomorrow, I want to see the corpse." Seeing the reaction he wanted, Kong Qing smiled with satisfaction, said this and left. He wiped Xiao Yueheng's face heavily with the dirty towel in his hand, and then threw it into the bucket.
