Chapter 21 Life and Death

Qiu Xiaofeng wandered around in the ghost forest for a long time, but even if he didn't get out, he didn't know whether it was the evil door of the forest or Qiu Xiaofeng was a road idiot.

Qiu Xiaofeng was suddenly stopped by a girl. The girl was wearing a bright light yellow robe with fluttering hem, but her hair was too long, covering her eyes.There are people in this place?

Qiu Xiaofeng was stunned and frightened for a while, and shivered, "You, who are you?"

The girl was going to grab his hand affectionately, her snow-white fingers were like green onions, with a hint of coolness, "I'm here to rescue you, you won't be able to get out alone."

Qiu Xiaofeng looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, blushed unconsciously, and asked hesitantly, "Who the hell are you?"

The girl smiled gently, her appearance was somewhat similar to Meng Xin, but her temperament was quite different, much more serious than that coquettish Suzerain.

"He did a lot of wrong things. I took him to apologize to you. I'm really sorry." yarn.Qiu Xiaofeng silently looked at the shadow on the ground, "Sister, you, don't scare me, I, I am timid."

The woman didn't have any expression on her face, she just watched him quietly, never taking a half step closer.His eyes were calm and unwavering, his hair was splashed like ink on his shoulders, and his skirt was flowing.

Although this is also a beauty...but...

Qiu Xiaofeng turned his head and ran all the way, it was too scary, this, this couldn't be the dead ghost girl, could it?While Qiu Xiaofeng ran wildly with lightness kung fu, he looked left and right and complained endlessly, how could there be so many monsters and ghosts in this gloomy place!

Before he knew it, the quiet courtyard appeared before his eyes again. Qiu Xiaofeng ran towards the courtyard he had been looking forward to as if he had found a life-saving straw. Once he walked in, he found that the lights in the courtyard were When it is on, the house is brightly lit.

When the old man saw Qiu Xiaofeng rolling back round again, he just snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and said, "Master Xin, don't try to run away! If you leave this yard, you will suffer." !"

The old man's stalwart body seemed so safe in the night, Qiu Xiaofeng hurried over to grab the old man's sleeve, trembling all over, looked back in fear, and said, "Is there a ghost in this place? ?”

There were furrows on the old man's forehead, and his hair was gray and white. After a while, he turned around and walked over to lie on the rocking chair, and said, "New uncle, it is your good fortune that our young lady married you, don't you don't like me?" Even if the suzerain doesn't punish you, I won't let you off, old man!"

"I, I seem to have seen your family, Miss family just now..."

Tears glistened in the old man's muddy eyes, and his voice was a little choked up, "You, you really saw it?"

Qiu Xiaofeng shrank and nodded.

"Miss, it's not the suzerain's fault. Don't blame him. If you want revenge, you can come to the old man! Suzerain, suzerain is forced to!" The old man couldn't stand anymore and knelt down On the ground, weeping and shouting.

Qiu Xiaofeng didn't understand, touched his head and asked, "What do you mean? Isn't your suzerain doting on your young lady so much?"

Knowing that the girl was dead, he summoned all the genius doctors in the world to treat his sister, and even arrested a half-hearted quack like Qiu Xuli. He even thought of a way to get married and celebrate her happiness. Could it be that her sister was originally raped by him? Killed himself?

###

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Qiu Xuli was locked in the room and starved for a day, and his mood was not tired. He was leaning against the wall dying, and he didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

At this time, as soon as the door opened, I felt the sound of footsteps coming in, followed by the tempting aroma of food.

I only heard a gentle and quiet female voice say, "Doctor Qiu, please use some food. It's my brother's fault that made you suffer."

Qiu Xuli took the chopsticks and was about to eat. When he heard this, he couldn't even hold the bowl firmly and almost fell to the ground. His heart skipped a beat and he said, "Who are you?"

"I am the suzerain's younger sister, Mengqing." The woman slowly said the dizzying answer, and then said, "My brother and I were originally surnamed Meng, but my parents never got along. Before my mother passed away, she said Life is like a dream, and she found out that she was living in a dream all her life, but she woke up from a dream when she died. So she asked us to change my surname to Meng."

"Aren't you dead?" Qiu Xuli asked in a deep voice.

"Brother made a joke, Doctor Qiu, please don't take offense."

###

Gong Zhenglian slowly pierced the silver needle in his hand into the throat of the deceased. Meng Zhong stood beside him, gently shaking the fan in his hand, not taking his eyes off it.

"how?"

Gong Zhenglian was extremely serious, "There is no technique of bringing the dead back to life in the world, and Lingmei is already dead."

"Could it be that the genius doctor still refuses to help me?" Meng Zhong frowned, and said sadly, "Do you know what happened to me when I left Qiu Li?"

"I can't do anything about Lingmei's death, but," Gong Zhenglian took a closer look at the silver needle and put it back into the box, "I'm afraid your illness can be cured."

"What's wrong with me? Xiaosheng doesn't know." Meng Zhi's eyes were full of humility and asking for advice, and he was completely different from the person who was gnashing his teeth before.Mo Yue felt that he had caught Gong Zhenglian's trick, and now that he knew the truth, he was no longer uneasy.

"Do you often feel exhausted, unable to do what you want, sometimes crazy, hoarse, sometimes heart like stagnant water, unable to recover?" Gong Zhenglian said slowly again.

"Miraculous doctor Gong is worrying too much. Xiaosheng feels refreshed these few days and doesn't feel troubled. Instead of worrying about Xiaosheng, doctor Gong might as well think of ways to deal with her younger sister."

"Humans have the five viscera to transform the five qi, which produce joy, anger, sorrow, worry and fear. Deficiency of the liver qi leads to fear, but in reality it is anger; the heart qi is worrying, which leads to sadness, but in reality it laughs endlessly; the spleen, incomprehensible sorrow, hurts the mind, and the injury of the mind leads to confusion. Suzerain Being irritable, sad, and sad is a sign of strong liver qi and lack of heart qi. If it is not easy to take care of it, I'm afraid--" Gong Zhenglian paused, then smiled indifferently, "Life is not long. At that time, we can be ordered together. Wouldn't it be nice to have sisters together?"

"It's just as good as that." Dreaming thoughtfully, his heart was already a little tired, looking at the dry body on the sickbed mountain, he had long lost the previous spirit, so he sat on the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the woman's hair, His eyes were filled with love, "If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have died. If I could bring her back, Xiaosheng would be willing to pay a thousand times the price."

When Gong Zhenglian heard this, he stopped talking, thinking that this person should have something to say, maybe he could get something useful out of him.

While eating, Qiu Xuli admired how good the craftsmanship is, but he was not worried about whether there would be any □□, anyway, he was about to starve to death, and it would be the same no matter how he died.The woman hadn't left yet, and she had doubts about her identity, and was afraid that he would scare her away by being too impatient and aggressive, so he pretended to be careless and said, "I have taken care of your body, so that is lying on the bed. Is it not you?"

"That's really not a little girl. Since that day, my brother has been in a trance every day, and he doesn't hear what he said. In this ghost sect, the people of the ghost sect only regard me as a ghost, and keep a respectful distance from me. They don't talk or laugh. No offense, although I turn a blind eye, I always feel respectful. I have always lived in the willow forest, and I don't interact with people, and I don't know that my brother has gone crazy to this point."

"But why?" Qiu Xuli asked.

"My mother and my father had always been at odds, so she took me and my elder brother to escape from the ghost sect and went to a remote town. Later, not long after that, my father died of illness. The members of the ghost sect wanted to rebel, but my father only gave the sect master's token to him. Without our brothers and sisters, only this thing can control the ever-changing formation fog here, and thus caused a fatal disaster." Mengqing's voice was very calm, and she spoke slowly, as if recalling things a long time ago.

"My mother passed away, so Xiaosheng took my sister-in-law to travel around, and a few more years passed. By the time the ghost sect was found, it was already someone else's world. My sister-in-law was weak and sick since she was a child, so she couldn't stand the twists and turns of the journey, and often made mistakes. Some symptoms, one day she suddenly didn’t eat anything, I thought she was losing her temper with me at first, and went on a hunger strike, but then I found out that she really couldn’t swallow—” Meng Zhi recalled this past event, skill Rubbing his forehead, he frowned in pain.He gently squeezed the corpse's fingers.

"What disgusting thing did you see?" Qiu Xuli said after he was full and pushed the bowl aside.

"I did see it."

"See what?"

"I saw a person and dragged a beggar away, then, then, I secretly—" She took a deep breath, and said intermittently, "Blood, blood, his body was cut open..." Her tone finally sounded somewhat Ups and downs, trembling and authentic, "The beggars in that temple are all, all, I am there alone, my brother is not here, I am so scared, so scared..."

Qiu Xuli thought in her heart, the person she saw could not be - Gong Zhenglian?Immediately, I felt creepy. Although Gong Zhenglian was perverted, he never killed people. How could he use the lives of innocent people... That's not necessarily the case, Qiu Xuli thought. I had known him for two years, and I didn't expect that he just wanted to marry him. Look, now that he thinks about it, he is obsessed with medical skills, and he might do some crazy things.Thinking of this, Qiu Xuli laughed at his own ignorance even more, and even laughed softly.

Mengqing noticed that she was a little strange, and asked, "What is Doctor Qiu thinking about?"

Qiu Xuli waved his hand and said, "I just thought of something interesting."

###

"If Lingmei saw something unacceptable, she was poisoned."

Only then did Meng Zhong wake up from a dream, and said, "Xiaosheng is ignorant, and he doesn't know that there are poisons in the world that make people hard to swallow, so he never thinks deeply about it."

Qiu Xiaofeng squatted in the corner, watching the old man tearfully talking about the affairs of the suzerain and the young lady, bored, but seeing that he was very excited, he added a sentence or two from time to time.

"And then? So what?"

"Miss became thinner and thinner, and I, the housekeeper, felt distressed when I saw it. The suzerain was still young at that time, and he didn't understand the dangers of the world and unpredictable people, so he was deceived by those who rebelled back then. In fact, the master is I love my wife. After my wife left, my master was afraid that something would happen to them, so I was asked to be a housekeeper to take care of my wife, the young master and the young lady. After the old master passed away, my wife also left to protect the young lady and the young master. I tried my best to protect them. Thoughtful people. Who knows—"

Meng Zhong grinned sinisterly, bent his hands hard, and said, "The butler is also dead, so no one will worry about my brothers and sisters anymore."

"he died?"

"Yes." Meng Zhong gently touched the dead woman's hand, and said gently, "After the housekeeper died, my younger sister also died of illness, no, she didn't die of illness! Someone hurt her! Yes, I did it." she……"

The meaning in his tone is obviously contradictory, very contradictory, it seems that he is also in a trance when he recalls this matter, sometimes excited and sometimes silent, intermittently.

Seeing the old man's tone getting more and more excited, Qiu Xiaofeng couldn't help worrying about his aging heart, so he comforted him, "Don't be sad, your lady is a spirit in the sky, she won't disregard the life of the suzerain, and she will definitely help the ghost sect to have a good harvest..." Qiu Xiaofeng yawned, casually perfunctory.

"Later, the housekeeper's grandfather died, and my brother and I were very sad. So my illness became more serious, and I became thinner and dying. Later, I was arrested by the ghost sect rebels and locked up. I didn't realize that I was imprisoning my family. There was a scent of peach blossoms in the place, and the nausea and irritability disappeared, and they forced the elder brother to come forward—"

Meng Zhi said with a sneer here, the strong fragrance of peach blossoms on his body became more and more pervasive, he straightened his cuffs, looked at the Shu embroidered peach blossoms, and said lightly, "I wish I could kill them immediately and tear them into pieces! Only later Considering the overall situation, I didn't go, let's say..."

"I know that I am seriously ill and I don't have much time left. I'm afraid—" Mengqing said with a cold look in her eyes, "I'm afraid my brother also thinks that I won't live long, so I don't want to die so rashly." It’s better to wait and see what happens when you take risks, since I’m only losing a pawn anyway.”

"In order to cure Miss's illness, the old man searched for herbs everywhere, but although there are many drug dealers in Liuyang City, it is very difficult to find this herb. I am extremely anxious, but I don't want Miss to be kidnapped at this time... …This old man has been in the ghost sect for dozens of years, but he still can’t understand the mystery of the formation, so he has to sneak into it and wait for the opportunity to rescue the young lady.”

"It sounds like you know what that herb is?" Qiu Xiaofeng asked.

"The old man does know. Madam and the master used this medicine when they had a temper tantrum. The poison is easy to cure. You just need to find the peach blossom tree in the middle of Guizong, pick off the petals and put it on the tip of your nose to smell it. The peach blossom tree It was carefully cultivated by the madam. Only the madam and the master knew this method. Later, the madam told the old man. It’s just how difficult it is to enter the ghost sect, and how do you know which tree is the middle one? Besides, the ghost sect rebels controlled ghosts in the past. It is even more impossible to find it. Later, I learned that this branch was picked off by a caring person and grafted to grow elsewhere, and there were rumors that the poison was cured. I thought it might be easier to find it in Liuyang City than in the Ghost Sect. .”

Qiu Xiaofeng widened his eyes and said in surprise, "You have lived in the Ghost Sect for ten years, yet you don't know where the center of the Ghost Sect is? You don't know where there are peach trees?"

Speaking of this, the old man flicked his sleeves, and he felt a little proud, "My ghost sect's formation is changing all the time, and it's incomparably mysterious. How can ordinary people understand it? Whether you can find it or not depends on chance. You can see it as soon as you walk in, and some people can't meet it in their whole life. Only the wife and the master know the formation, so how can they be understood by mere mere?"

Qiu Xiaofeng didn't understand, "Then why would someone poison Miss like this?"

"The old man once thought that there must be someone who wants to kill two birds with one stone. Not only can they find the peach tree in the center of the ghost sect's formation, but they can also kidnap the young lady, so as to blackmail the suzerain and make the suzerain mess up. At first, the symptoms were not obvious. It will draw people's attention, and if someone knows about this poison, it must be related to the ghost sect, and they will mess up and show their true colors."

"Later, my elder brother did come. I thought in my heart that my elder brother was the only one who was kind to me in this world, so I didn't hesitate to risk my own life. The group of rebels tried to plot against my elder brother, but they were turned into an army. My elder brother had already planned it out." I made an arrangement, but it’s just a thousand calculations. It’s not counting that the desperadoes rose up to resist and stabbed at my brother with a sword. My heart is for my brother, and I thought that I must not let my brother die, so I broke free from the shackles and blocked the sword. Thankfully The truth is, this sword was not in vain, and the traitor was shattered by the palm of the elder brother." She said here, but there seemed to be fanatical admiration and joy in her heart, and she stretched out her hand to press her shoulder, and the scar was still there. It's still there, as if branded into the soul.

"I killed her, I killed her, my brother is sorry for you..." Meng Zhong murmured, deeply remorseful in his heart, "I was too cruel, Xin Dao would rather let her become a pawn for others to threaten me, It's better to kill her."

Meng Zhong watched her rushing towards him, and there was only one thought in her mind, kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her——

In this round, if she was here, she would definitely lose to those rebels.

If she was here, he would definitely be threatened, and then he would never be able to stand up again.

If she was here, he would never be able to get back the ghost sect...

So he stretched out his hand and slapped it. The blood stained his hand. The bright red blood, with a strong fragrance of peach blossoms, scorched his heart, making him painful and confused.

He still killed her.

Meng Zhong didn't know how he would deal with the next thing. He calmly took back the Ghost Sect, re-mastered and controlled the Ghost Sect formation, and caught the Sect Master's token on him.It's just that he has never been able to find the peach tree that his mother mentioned when he was young, so he often picks some ordinary peach branches and puts them in a vase, looking like he has returned to his childhood.

"When I woke up, my brother didn't remember me. He always thought that I was the one who killed me with his palm, and he refused to listen to what he said. Sometimes I think, maybe my brother wants to kill me on the surface. To resurrect me, he just wanted me to die. He thought in his heart that it would be better for me to die, so he really created such an illusion. After all, if I die, I have the token of the ghost sect and can control the ghost sect. He's the only one left." Mengqing sighed softly, her tone regained her calmness, and said, "That's fine, as long as it's what brother thinks, I'll do what he wants, it's not bad to be a ghost .”

Meng Zhi looked at the corpse on the hospital bed tenderly, "My brother didn't want to kill you, it was all my brother's fault. That day when my brother saw you lying in a pool of blood, my heart ached so much. My brother shouldn't have abandoned you." , leave you alone, if it can bring you back to life, brother is willing to do anything."

After listening to her, Qiu Xuli felt that the two brothers and sisters were too unbelievable, so he said, "Then, the corpse lying on the bed, no, it couldn't be the traitor who stabbed you back then, right?"

"En." Mengqing also felt that it was God's will when she said this, and said disgustedly, "The girl looks a bit like me, so my brother recognized her. But it's just a corpse."

"At that time, it was too late. Miss died, and died at the hands of the suzerain. Suzerain, the suzerain was too cruel... He and the young lady were born of the same mother, even if the situation was urgent, he could not leave the young lady alone... To be so cruel, to kill Miss—if I hadn’t been in the Ghost Sect that day, I would never have believed that such a tragedy would have happened, but the Sect Master also acted helplessly, and I know that I should not blame him for such a bad plan.”

Qiu Xiaofeng asked again silently, "Grandpa, didn't you say that the ghost sect was looking for trouble, why did you go to the ghost sect again?"

"The old man had no choice but to sneak into the ghost sect secretly to find a chance of life. But the suzerain heard the rumors from where, thinking that the old man had died in the hands of the rebels, and sent the old man's finger over. It's ridiculous Extremely. The suzerain is too young to believe it is true." The old man smiled, as if he was still remembering his youthful dream.Qiu Xiaofeng swallowed, looked at the old man's hand, and said in fear, "You, why is your little finger missing?"

The old man said nonchalantly, "When I was cooking and butchering bones, my eyes didn't work very well, and I accidentally broke them."

Qiu Xiaofeng didn't really believe it, how could such a coincidence happen, and silently looked at the shadow of the old man, and felt a little more at ease.

"Later, I told the suzerain that the suzerain will wake up one day, and let me spend my old age in this yard. By the way, I will also take care of the suzerain's guests, such as you, new uncle." The old man sized him up lovingly. , the kind eyes like evaluating a son-in-law.

Qiu Xiaofeng touched his head in embarrassment.
