The Fox Fairy waved her hand, and a bronze mirror appeared in her hand. She pulled me over and said, "Let's see how you look now, neither human nor ghost."
I looked at the bronze mirror, and I was stunned when I saw it. In the mirror, I looked pale and my face was as thin as a stick.
I looked very haggard, and my body was more like a mummy than emaciated.
As I watched, the fires on my left and right shoulders were extinguished, leaving only the fire above my head burning like a candle in the wind.
"How could this happen? Am I about to die?" I frowned, completely unable to believe what was happening.
Huang Xian also put down the chicken in his hand and nodded in agreement, "Yes, you were not the one who deserved to live in the first place. As soon as you were born, your grandfather thought you were a disaster star and your lifespan was only three days."
"He doesn't know what method he used to extend your life for eighteen years, and now he is trapped..."
Huang Xian didn't say any more, shook his head and let out a long sigh.
"I guess you have also figured out that the power of the Heavenly Master is the stolen Drought Demon Corpse Qi. Good boy, although you have obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Master now."
"In the end, this is not your power. If you cannot suppress it within a month, the corpse energy will sweep through your body. By then, you will become a walking corpse, and even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save you."
I understood what Huang Xian said and asked eagerly, "Then how can I suppress it?"
Huang Xian's eyes lit up, "It's very simple, one word, make up!"
"Make up?" I frowned, confusion written all over my face.
"Eating the century-old ginseng and polygonum multiflorum directly as radish and pickles will help you completely refine the corpse energy."
Am I stupid enough to eat ginseng as radish pickles? !
"It's a thousand-year-old ginseng. I've never eaten any ginseng seeds. How can such a rare thing be found in these poor mountains and valleys?"
Huang Xian said angrily, "You are really hurtful. In order to stabilize your spirit in the past three days and prevent it from being destroyed by the corpse energy, you have eaten the two 500-year-old ginseng I had secretly hidden!"
"But...what does this have to do with marriage?" I scratched my head.
"It seems it's time to tell you that when you were young, your family and the Su family made a marriage arrangement."
"The Su family has a lot of wealth and countless rare treasures. As long as you accept this marriage, you can take whatever medicinal materials you want."
The fox fairy waved her hand with a mysterious look, and a piece of ancient parchment appeared in her hand. She handed the parchment to my hand, and I slowly opened the parchment.
This turned out to be a marriage certificate.
The marriage certificate clearly stated that the man, Ma Keke, had a birth date, and the woman, Su Huanxing, died...
My hands trembled slightly, "May I ask these two great immortals, what does death mean?"
Huang Xian smiled heartily and said, "That's how many years he died."
I slowly broke off the engagement, "A dark... dark marriage... isn't it appropriate?"
Fox Fairy's face changed, "Why, do you think there's a problem? Don't go too far, little kid. Do you know how much effort Lao Ma and I spent to find such a suitable girl?"
"How dare you despise it? You have to admit it even if you admit it, and you have to admit it even if you don't!"
I don't understand why the Fox Fairy suddenly became angry.
"This is a ghost marriage... I won't go there even if I die..." I didn't finish my words.
The Fox Fairy sneered, "Huh, that's ridiculous! It's up to you whether you recognize this marriage or not, but you have to go to the Su family. Your grandfather left something important in their house, and it's been eighteen years."
"Now you go and get it back. It depends on whether you can survive this disaster."
I frowned and said nothing. While I was thinking, I heard the fox fairy continue to speak.
"I can tell you that although the outside world thinks Su Qing is dead, she is not dead and is just a fool."
"And remember, the person you borrowed your eighteen years of life from is Su Huanxing."
I was stunned. After a long time of hesitation, I slowly said, "Idiot? Excuse me? Why has no one ever told me these things?"
The Fox Fairy seemed to be angry with me and said nothing.
Huang Xian then said, "Eighteen years ago, you and Su Huanxing were born one after another. She was a few days ahead of you."
I listened quietly and didn't say anything more.
"You two are a natural disaster star, and the other is a cripple. You are a person with a crippled destiny. You were young and died young. She is different from you. Your destiny is not something that ordinary people can change. As for her destiny, your grandfather has full control. Be sure you can change it.”
"So, the Su family made a deal with your grandfather. Your grandfather changed her life. In return, she lent you eighteen years of life. If you survive after eighteen years, you will take care of her for the rest of your life. "
I picked up the marriage certificate and looked at Su Huanxing's birthday and calculated in my mind that he had a life expectancy of nearly a hundred years.
"But why does it say in the marriage certificate, died...could it be said that this is also part of changing one's fate?"
Huang Xian nodded silently and then said, "Well, that's right, you have actually married Su Huanxing a long time ago. When you were both in infancy, on the day of your wedding, your grandfather used a strange method to bypass The book of life and death."
I didn't know for a moment whether I should cry or laugh, "Su Huanxing..."
I muttered this somewhat familiar but unfamiliar name, "Okay, I will go to Su's house."
I've had my meal.
I returned to my room, packed my luggage, and prepared to leave for Sujiazhuang.
The fox fairy was leaning at the door.
He looked me up and down and shook his head slowly, "No matter what happens when you arrive at Sujiazhuang, don't be afraid. You are Ma Laosan's grandson!"
"If it doesn't work, remember one word, run! Save your life."
Huang Xian also nodded and agreed, "Yes, it's not terrible to give in."
Huang Xian said as he took out a small flag from his arms, "This is the spirit-calling flag. It can only be used once. If you encounter danger, you can use it to shout to your second uncle and I will come out to help you."
"Second uncle, why can you come out and help me? Nai... Nai, you can't come out and help me." I accepted the little flag.
The corners of Fox Fairy's mouth curved and he said with a smile, "I was originally the Qingqiu Su clan. I have been practicing for a thousand years and have been killed many times during this thousand years. Grandma, I only have a trace of my soul left now. Living on weak offerings."
"Qingqiu Su family, are you Su Daji?"
The Fox Fairy just picked up the cigarette bag and took two puffs slowly without admitting or denying it.
Huang Xian said with a playful smile, "What the hell kid, let me tell you, who is Su Daji? Do you know the yellow-browed king of Little Western Heaven in Journey to the West?"
I nodded my head and stopped packing my luggage. I sat on the kang and listened to Uncle Huang Xian's talk in high spirits.
"That's my ancestor, really, I'm not bragging."
My eyes widened instantly.
"Holy crap... no, according to what you said, my grandfather is a heavenly master who can subdue demons and demons, my grandmother is the Su family from Qingqiu Mountain, and my second uncle claims to be the seventy-ninth great-great-grandson of King Huangmei."
I thought about my grandfather's background, "What about my parents? I... who am I? Why am I nothing? I'm just an ordinary mortal."
Huang Xian clicked his tongue: "This unlucky boy, you are a disaster star, how can you be a mortal?"
The fox fairy rolled her eyes at him, sat next to me, and patted my shoulder.
"Well, it's a long story for a child to have no mother. You, you, have no father and no mother. You were picked up..."
"Picked it up??"
Second Uncle Huang Xian nodded seriously and said solemnly, "Yes, you are a poor orphan."
"But let's not talk about that first. Let me tell you the story of how I fought with the seventy-two constellations with two butcher knives, cutting from Nantianmen East Street to Nantianmen West Street. It's so exciting."
"What?"
The fox fairy laughed like a silver bell at the side, shook his head slightly, and instantly turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared.
Listening to his words, I instantly understood that Uncle Huang Xian was just blowing water, so I guess my grandma was also coaxing me to play.
I'd better pack up my things and go wherever I need to go...
