The young man could not escape from this miserable situation.
His hands were shackled, as were his feet. Compared to his slender arms, such chains are indeed too heavy. His wrists and ankles were dark brown. In addition, there is nothing good about him. His originally fair face was now dirty, not to mention that he had not eaten properly for a long time, and he was already sallow and thin.
The three tiny moles on his face were hard to distinguish. The two spots are almost completely symmetrical on the cheek, and there is another spot of about the same size under the left eyelid, connected in a straight line with the mole on the left cheek. A mole on an ugly face is superfluous, but a mole on a beautiful face is an embellishment. His tender skin and beautiful face have brought him a lot of sweetness. But now, this has become one of the sources of pain for him. There are not many kind-hearted women in the prison, and those vile guards and inmates will naturally hate him.
It's late at night, but there's no difference between day and night in this place. He only knew that people were resting, and even the arrogant jailer was taking a nap at the door. The only light went out and no one came to refuel it. In the darkness, he stared blankly ahead, waiting for time to pass and death to approach.
Then, a flash of red appeared in the darkness in front of him. The red color seemed to be glowing, but it wasn't enough to illuminate the surrounding area. It wasn't fire, but it didn't look like anything else either. It's just a spherical, shimmering object. He even felt that this was not some real entity, but something illusory and untouchable. Different shades of red flowed on it, causing him to stand up and walk slowly over. The shackles on his body made a crisp sound, but that didn't stop him. The railing in front of him seemed to disappear out of thin air. After he walked a certain distance, he did not hit any cold objects.
But at this moment, he suddenly missed his kick. The darkness below suddenly became bottomless, and he fell straight down. In panic, his screams were so harsh that they could be heard far away, but no one could hear him.
Pei woke up from his dream.
She raised her head and glanced out the window. The moon was high and round. Maybe I was too sleepy in the afternoon, so I took a nap and slept until midnight. There is no way, this official just deserves to be free. It's just that she's in a bad mood now because she's dreaming of those weird and bizarre things again.
She had had similar dreams many times, and there was always a delicate and beautiful young man in her dreams. Every time, her perspective followed the young man, as if it was herself. But in the final analysis, she is clearly a woman, and pretending to be a man is just for convenience in officialdom. What's more, her face is not ugly, but it is not as charming as in the dream. The "she" in the dream is not always suffering, there are also times when she is surrounded by clouds of women. However, in dreams, a red thing always appears as the end of the dream.
She dreams about these every now and then, but the recent ones have been too frequent. All in all, by piecing together the information that had been fragmented for a long time, she could roughly restore the image of this boy. He seems to have been born in a good family. His father was an official in the government and held great power. My mother is also the daughter of an official. She likes silks, silks, and antique calligraphy and paintings all day long. What my father is most interested in is rare treasures and delicacies from mountains and seas. It is not difficult for them to get these things.
The young man was born with good looks. It is no exaggeration to say that he attracts women like bees and butterflies as soon as he takes to the streets. The girls were all around him, pestering him, saying this and that. The young man grew up in such a privileged environment, so he felt a little noble. He looks down on many people and many things - but he still has the capital.
But as the saying goes, a big tree attracts wind. No matter what happened to this young man, his father was finally trapped and thrown into prison because he was too greedy. Naturally, the whole family was implicated - how many clans were killed? Does this even matter? But who would have thought that the young man would actually escape death. In prison, no matter how much grudges I suffered, I paid the price here. But the suffering will eventually have its consequences. The daughters of many officials who admired him actually tried every means, spent a lot of money, bought big connections, and really got him out of prison. Many of the girls among them were really sincere and crazy about him. The girl who really loved him was also blinded by this appearance, and asked someone to send a message to persuade him to change his appearance and stop making public. They had no idea how superficial and filthy this young man's state of mind was. Although he was tortured in prison, he had not yet enjoyed enough of the benefits brought by his appearance.
But he still cherished his life and fled far away. It's just that fate is always absurd, as if he had spent all his luck surviving the emperor's order. Not long after, he was brutally murdered by a madman who hated beautiful women. That lunatic has an extremely ugly appearance, kills people with ease, and specializes in killing all the handsome men and women in the world. I really don't know if dying under the knife of such a person is considered a "death worthy".
After all, it's just a dream, and it has nothing to do with Li himself. But...if that were the case, she wouldn't always be thinking about it. In fact, when she was still a human... she was in a similar situation to this boy. Remembering the past is always annoying. Like the boy, her father is also an official, but he is not as powerful as the boy's father in the dream. But if you want to be greedy, this kind of position can actually bring you good fortune. Similarly, it was precisely because of his greed for money that his father was imprisoned. Although it won't lead to a bad death for the whole family, in the political game, the dog in the water never ends well.
Her father is greedy for money and her mother is greedy for life. Her mother thought she was a burden, spending her own money and holding her back, making it difficult for her to remarry. So she was abandoned by her biological mother and ended up on the street. She has endured all kinds of hardships and endured all kinds of sins. She tried her best to survive - and she tried her best to make "deals" to get herself to where she is now.
It is not easy for a female prostitute who knows neither magic nor martial arts to survive in such a world. But she was also lucky enough to get an interesting treasure on the way to survive - a fragment of a wish-fulfilling pearl that can fulfill any wish. She was so poor that she had nothing to exchange for. Naturally, she got it through unfair means. At first, she didn't have much hope for the mysterious and mysterious legend, not to mention that it was said that using this thing to make a wish would lead to a corresponding curse. But she couldn't live in such a miserable life for a day anymore. She wanted more and a better life.
With the mentality of giving it a try, she made her wish...and paid the price for everything.
Pay the price for everything you have been born as a "human being".
I never regretted it for a day. Rather, I am more comfortable now than at any time since I was born. Although money is often useful, she has long understood that money alone is the most useless and cheapest thing in the world. Connections, status, and wisdom are all things that serve money itself. The most meaningful thing is the value itself - for example, the ability to realize your wishes cannot be bought with a lot of money. She just used her brain and played some tricks. The valuable things vary in different situations, and the orb that can grant wishes is simply the embodiment of value. When prices soar, money will become less and less valuable. Even if there is a mountain of free money, it will be worthless if it cannot be exchanged for a morsel of food. And now she no longer needs to rely solely on food, rice, oil and salt to survive. Being separated from everything that people need has given her a higher level of understanding of value.
Now, apart from this dream, the only thing she cared about was...the red thing. She could think of only one thing that existed in reality that was closest to that thing.
That is the red pearl returned to Uoyuki-kun.
Ever since I secretly followed them to the southern country, I was lucky enough to see the appearance of the red pearl and its powerful influence, and I immediately made an accurate assessment of its value in my heart. She even wanted to laugh at her former self, she was so blind.
She didn't know enough about other magic weapons and couldn't take care of them for a while, not to mention that it was said that if all the magic weapons were collected, disaster would really happen. Even if not, the Lord of Naraku will still be targeting her. Is she only interested in this head office right now? In comparison, the amber, which was also a magic weapon and was lost at some point or another, pales in comparison. But Qi is not stupid either. She can probably imagine that the loss of this thing is inseparable from the lackey of Death Shadow Pavilion who is proficient in stealing. She almost forgot that Ye Xuici could not only steal secrets, but she could also steal anything of interest in the world. It's just that for her, the actual items can no longer bring her own value, that's all.
Haha, as expected, no one in the world can be trusted. Although she didn't really trust Ye Xuici - she originally wanted to build a good relationship so that she could benefit from the Death Shadow Pavilion, but now it seems that she was tricked. Should it be said that it is the six realms of impermanence? The person he can choose, even if he is an evil messenger, is enough to drink a pot of wine.
Chi Zhenzhu, Chi Zhenzhu...she wanted it so desperately. It was as if getting it would answer everything in her dream that confused her. She knew that this was a magic weapon that was connected to people's spirits. It could not only peek into thoughts, but also affect memories and even destroy people's will. Then to a certain extent, it will be able to restore some of the broken information in her heart. And with it, you can twist people's minds at will and play with everyone. By then, won’t everything you want be easy?
And, how beautiful it is.
She stood in front of the window, staring at the moon in the sky until her eyes turned red. What turned completely red in the end was not her eyes, but the bright moon like a pearl in the sky. It became scarlet and eerie, like the frightening blood moon in countless terrible legends. Everything bathed in the red light seemed to be soaked in blood, becoming dark and distorted.
She must know the answer, must have her wishes come true, must get everything she wants.
There's nothing left to squeeze out of this wretched place, just leave it here and let them fend for themselves. The people here have been corrupted by greed and have become puppets obsessed with what they want. As for the puppets and the black guards, they now have as many as they want. Although the mana, financial resources, and military strength were not enough, they were enough to deal with the impermanence of the six paths that she had defeated once.
She needs to see Yingyue-kun again... She also needs more precise information and further reasons. She had a hunch that the reason why Liudao Impermanence, who had betrayed his mission, chose to find her was not just because he wanted a body.
