Chen Xiaolan was born as a country girl, and her sewing skills were top-notch. She could neatly sew pieces of meat that were broken into pieces, and the seams were neat and intact.
Meng Zifei stared blankly, feeling a little lost for a moment. What a strange person. In the past, Chen Xiaolan was taught that she was a child of ordinary people.
Now it seems that even mentally tough practitioners cannot do such dirty and bloody things. But she was able to grit her teeth, bite the bullet, and do it slowly, which was really not easy.
The wind and snow are howling outside the cave. This natural snow cave has no roof to cover the wind and snow. Occasionally, fine snowflakes pass through the sparse branches and dead leaves between the cave roof, melting with the cold moonlight and falling down.
Meng Zifei found himself placed in a dark place, although his body was in unbearable pain. But after surviving the most difficult period, the festered and decomposed flesh on his body was repaired and did not continue to wither and fall.
He suddenly coughed lightly. Chen Xiaolan at the other end heard the noise and was obviously frightened. Her shoulders shrank fiercely, and her little face that slowly turned around could clearly see that her vagina was trembling violently.
Meng Zifei looked at her frightened expression with interest. This kind of attitude is consistent with the behavior of a normal person, but she was afraid of being like this, so she didn't abandon him and leave alone.
Although naive, he also retains some cleverness. Meng Zifei looked at the right leg she was holding in her hand and couldn't help but smile and said: "You are smart enough to know to keep my leg and sew my arms into the body first. In this way Come on, even if I wake up, if I really want to kill you, it won't be that easy." Chen Xiaolan fearfully hid her right leg behind her back and looked at Meng Zifei warily.
Meng Zifei moved his body with difficulty and found that most of the flesh that had fallen off his body had returned, and his body was covered with wounds that had been repaired.
He looked at her deeply and calmly, with deep contemplation in his eyes: "So many hungry wolves on the mountain have eaten my flesh and blood. If I hadn't slaughtered the wild wolves one by one and left their bellies to get the meat, I would be afraid right now. It’s just a broken body.” Chen Xiaolan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Meng Zifei sighed and said: "You usually don't even dare to kill a chicken, how dare you be so crazy today? Why, facing this pair of rotten meat, are you not afraid at all?" Why? Maybe he wasn't afraid, but looking at Chen Xiaolan, she might faint from fear at any time.
Meng Zifei could only imagine how devastated she went through every process tonight, including killing the wolf, disemboweling the body, removing the meat, picking up the bones, and sewing.
I'm afraid it will become a nightmare that she will never forget for the rest of her life. The girl who usually chattered in his ear couldn't say a word when faced with his questions today.
Even though he didn't escape, he still looked miserable with half his soul lost. For some reason, he didn't hate seeing Chen Xiaolan like this, but he felt a little trapped and depressed for no reason.
It was the first time that Meng Zifei felt such a strange and confused emotion.
"Okay, okay..." Meng Zifei finally compromised. His shoulders shook slightly, and he heard two "kaka" sounds, and his spiritual energy was vomited.
It actually caused his two arms to break and collapse. He smiled brightly and warmly, and his voice was so clear that no trace of pain could be heard: "Okay, I can't hurt you now. Xiaolan doesn't have to be afraid. Come and talk to me, okay?" Chen Xiaolan gave him this sudden I was shocked by his self-mutilation behavior.
Looking at his smiling face, he looked the same as before, but his scalp couldn't stop feeling numb. At first, I was deceived by his appearance as a kind and gentle gentleman, but I actually became a disciple of this kind of person.
It was too late to regret in her heart. Looking at Meng Zifei's friendly and familiar face, Chen Xiaolan looked sad, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What on earth...are you?" Meng Zifei seemed to have expected that she would have When asked like this, Dan smiled and said: "I am a human being, there is no doubt about this, and I am also a mortal like you, born ordinary and without spiritual qualifications." Chen Xiaolan did not expect that he would say this, and her eyes widened in disbelief. : "You said you are a mortal like me?! But you clearly..."
"You can practice, right?" Meng Zifei interrupted her, with a warm smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and his dark eyes were difficult to distinguish from the dark night.
He looked at Chen Xiaolan steadily, his voice was hoarse, and half of his cheeks were a little deep as the bonfire flickered.
"I was originally unable to practice. I was born an ordinary person. Although I have a lot of knowledge, I am outstanding in learning, and I became famous at a young age. But from the day I was born, it was destined that my career in this life would only last a hundred years at most. I have been a child for a year. I got to know my cousin Shang Ying. The businessman had extraordinary luck. He gave birth to a pair of brothers and sisters, both of whom had spiritual roots. They became disciples of the Lihe Sect and became enlightened and practiced, which made me really envious. I am not willing to be ordinary, and my heart is tempted. , secretly colluded with Zheng Siyan, the young master of Taiyuan of the ghost sect, and designed to frame Baili Zangjian, the young master of the Tianxi Sword Sect. He even did not hesitate to deceive his cousin at home with a painful flesh and blood trick, and used her love for me to trick her into giving her his spiritual root. , so far I seek the road to the great road." At this point, Meng Zifei's tone was exceptionally calm, and his sparkling eyes seemed to have a layer of mist: "Although I have extended my lifespan and maintained my youth, I can wield a sword. Flying to the sky, drawing talismans and catching monsters, I have achieved the life I expected. But God is fair. I obtained a spiritual root that did not belong to me through despicable means, so I should bear the curse of karma and karma that is inhuman torture." Chen Xiaolan didn't know that Meng Zifei actually had such a dark and embarrassing past, but seeing Meng Zifei tell the truth so calmly, the fear and fear in her heart could not help but relax a little.
She looked at Meng Zifei with a complicated expression,
"So you will be in seclusion on your own for seven days every month. After you come out of seclusion, you will become very weak because you are tortured by this curse." She had indeed known it for a long time.
Meng Zifei looked at her deeply and couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, laughing at his own cleverness but being enlightened by his cleverness. He is narrow-minded and wary of everything. Even the words of the people closest to him have to be analyzed carefully.
If Chen Xiaolan really had other intentions, would she be so stupid and step into a minefield to speak out?
Thinking about it this way, he really asked for this disaster tonight.
"If you get something that doesn't belong to you, you have to pay a corresponding price. The pain of picking off bones and cutting flesh every month lasts for seven consecutive days. At first, you couldn't control it, so you could only hide in the dark and no one and endure it silently. As time went by, My cultivation level is gradually increasing..." At this point, Meng Zifei paused and then raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiaolan. Seeing that she was listening attentively to his story about the past, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Now that things have happened, why should I continue to tell you those unnecessary lies? To be honest, the pain of this curse is so painful that it almost tortures me crazy. I have always loved cleanliness and can't stand myself every day. Yue must watch his skin fester and rot, his whole body smells fishy, and he is as disgusting as a piece of rotten meat in a ditch. Day after day of inhuman torture, even though I am full of gentlemanly etiquette and human ethics, my heart has long been shaken. Twisted into an inhuman thing. Inside the bronze door, I gave up my sword and my fly whisk, and since then I have entered the demonic path, which can be regarded as a formal cooperation with the Demonic River Burial Heart. Later, I got his help and knew how to suppress it. As long as this curse breaks out every month, you can avoid the moonlight and starlight. Although the pain is still there, it will not end up with filthy flesh all over the ground, which is more respectable after all." Chen Xiaolan is no stranger to the name Mohe Heart Burial. , she stood up suddenly, the anger in her eyes instantly overcame the fear, and asked sternly: "You actually cooperated with the Demon River Burial Heart? Do you know that the culprit of the chaos in the mountain realm back then was this Burial Heart! In the Demon Realm! , he always opposed Mr. Si Chen! He almost died. Such a villain! How can you associate with him?" Faced with her reprimand, Meng Zi smiled instead of being angry,
"If you were me and encountered such a desperate situation, it doesn't matter whether he is a fairy or a demon, as long as he can save me, what's the problem?"
"You!" Chen Xiaolan was furious and stamped her feet fiercely: "I shouldn't have saved you!" Meng Zifei said: "My sword is still with you. If Xiaolan regrets it now and draws the sword to chop off my head, that's also true. It’s not too late.” Chen Xiaolan was speechless immediately and could only stare at him bitterly.
Meng Zifei said again: "But I know that you can't do it. You can't even leave me alone, so how can you kill me yourself?" Chen Xiaolan sat down again dejectedly, looking at it with confusion. Looking at the faintly jumping bonfire, his expression was melancholy.
"So when you acted like you wanted to kill me, you thought I had discovered your secret scandal, and after telling others about it... there is no room for you in this righteous world, right?" Unexpectedly, Meng Zifei shook his head and said: "Since I have devoted myself to the devil's path, it doesn't mean much to me whether the righteous path of the world can tolerate me. At most, it will not be so convenient for traveling in the future. I just... ..." His eyes were low-pressed and seemed a little cold for no reason.
"I don't want others to know that I, Meng Zifei, change into a human and a ghost every month."
"Just because of this kind of thing, you actually want to kill me?!" Chen Xiaolan was so angry that it was unbelievable. Meng Zifei laughed softly, his eyes moved, and there seemed to be a soft glow in his eyes: "I am telling you this now, naturally because you can know, Xiaolan, I will not kill you again." His tone was dull. , but there was a strong meaning: "Trust me." He didn't want others to see his ugly appearance.
He couldn't bear the looks of those people looking at him like pitiful maggots when they saw pieces of his flesh falling off, his body rotting, and rolling around in pain.
He, Meng Zifei, was born ordinary, but he was also proud. He couldn't even accept that he was mediocre, let alone being seen as so rotten and ugly.
However, for the first time in his life, when the curse broke out, he was seen by a second person. He never imagined that the girl he had almost killed a moment ago would be naturally disgusted and frightened when he saw his miserable appearance again.
He accepted it all as a matter of course and picked up the broken pieces bit by bit.
If the woman here was Shang Ying, Meng Zifei firmly believed that she might be able to not give up on him.
You can even protect him more carefully and meticulously, without showing the slightest look of disgust.
Because he knows that Shang Ying loves him deeply, and even if she knows that he has bad intentions and evil intentions, she can still fully accept him as a person.
But so what, in the name of love, accepting him who is covered in filth as a matter of course... It makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.
Having done all the bad things, he never needed such a warm and bright redemption. But Chen Xiaolan was different. Meng Zifei could not see in her eyes the love that a normal woman would have for a man.
Because he doesn't love, this kind of 'acceptance' that is different from Shang Ying's becomes rare and valuable.
So much so that even when she looked at herself in extreme embarrassment, she inadvertently showed a look of pity for him, an expression of disgust and disgust that was expected.
This made Meng Zifei feel that even so, it was not as difficult to accept as he imagined. Even... there is a vague sense of weird pleasure.
Such joyful emotions made him feel that if it were the person in front of him, he would be willing to let her slowly see all of him.
That was a side that even Shang Ying had never seen before, a side that was dark, gloomy, weird, selfish, and cold to the core that no one knew.
Follow the temptations and slowly shed away your smooth, gentle and polite skin. Chen Xiaolan was pure and innocent in mind, and completely ignored the undercurrent under Meng Zifei's obscure gaze. She only felt extremely tired in her heart: "So many things have happened, how do you expect me to trust you?" After hearing her words, He actually wanted to leave right now. Meng Zifei's bright eyes dimmed suddenly: "Is Xiaolan going to leave me?" He raised his head and looked at her blankly: "Just because I want to To survive, you chose the path of magic?" Chen Xiaolan frowned and said: "I am just a mortal woman. It doesn't matter whether you are a devil or a fairy. What matters is how you choose in your heart. Just like Mr. Si Chen, he was born in Dark, but born toward the sun. He eats blood, is afraid of the sun, and is a corpse demon. But in Xiaolan's heart, no one in the world is better and kinder than him. The distinction between right and wrong has never been about good and evil. That's prejudice." She took a deep breath and couldn't bear it anymore. Every word she spoke was full of anger: "You hurt the people who love you for your own selfishness. It's wrong! For your dignity , it’s also wrong to kill me because I didn’t say a word! This has never had anything to do with whether you choose the devil’s path or not!” Meng Zifei murmured: “So you...” Chen Xiaolan couldn’t stop the tears in her eyes. Streaming down: "No one can be faultless but a sage or sage. But when everyone goes on the wrong path, they will have seven emotions and six desires. They will all be jealous, resentful, angry, unwilling, and unbearable! Meng Zifei, right now, I want to ask you One sentence..."
"Meng Zifei, have you ever done anything treacherous or evil? Were you involved in that disaster in the mountains? Did you intentionally lure those people here? Have you ever planned to frame Master Si Chen? ?" Meng Zifei squinted his eyes for a long time, then slowly opened them, and said in a low voice: "I, Meng Zifei, have never done anything treacherous or evil." Chen Xiaolan looked deeply for a moment, and then the confusion, anger and fear in her eyes slowly faded away. Fade clean.
She slowly exhaled a breath, her energy finally reached its limit, and the sword she held in her hand fell to the ground.
Chen Xiaolan walked over and placed his right leg on the broken spot, letting it heal slowly.
"In this case, I will trust you again. I hope you will not let me down, Master..." Meng Zifei watched his right leg gradually heal and repair, his heavy eyelashes cast a shadow, and he hummed softly.
No one saw his fingers hidden under his sleeves, which were fingering the snow stones on the ground in a meaningless manner. His fingernails were lifted up by the cold and sharp scarlet snow, and his fingernails were covered in flesh and blood, but he didn't notice it at all.
