A person who is followed by ten thousand ghosts must be different from ordinary people.
Tiying thought so in her heart.
She is afraid of ghosts...but if she doesn't have a discerning eye, she won't be able to see them!
Moreover, after such a scary senior brother leaves the Five Poison Forest, she will definitely hide far away and will not continue to travel with such a person. Only by finding out what this senior brother looks like can you avoid him in the future.
After this calculation, now is Tiying's only chance to be curious about this strange senior brother.
Tiying thought of an excuse for herself in her heart, and became more and more eager to try: How can anyone travel together for three days without seeing what the other person looks like?
The sky was so dark and the cave was so quiet. Perhaps because she wanted to do something bad, Tiying was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe.
She knelt down next to him, leaning her upper body forward slightly, grabbing the thin soap gauze with her fingers, trying to lift it open little by little.
Jiang Xuehe sat in the semi-dark light, looking at her through the veil.
Maybe he had never met such a naughty person, maybe it was because the person who teased him was the little junior sister he had heard from his master countless times but had never seen before. He sat in the dark and did not move for a long time—— I don't know if I should stop it.
Tiying's breath was so close to him.
With the chaotic turbidity caused by the Five Poison Forest, under the turbidity, there is hidden the somewhat sweet fragrance of the girl herself...
Tiying's cheeks were stained with a layer of blush. She lifted a corner of the soap gauze. From bottom to top, she saw the young man's slender neck, which was covered with scars just like his hands. And Tiying could already see his true appearance through these scars.
She has never seen a real young man who is not an enemy.
This young senior brother had an aura as clear and moist as snow, and dense bloodstains snaked upwards. His Adam's apple was slightly convex, like a small stone splashed into a clear pond. Further up...
Tiying's cheeks turned red.
The young man's hand suddenly held hers, stopping her from lifting the curtain and continuing to look up.
Tiying's bad deeds were discovered, and her blush reached her neck.
She was covered in cold sweat and couldn't breathe.
Jiang Xuehe suddenly leaned forward without pushing her away. With one hand, he clasped her hand that was making trouble and refused to let go of his hood, and with the other hand, he clasped her chin and asked her to raise her head.
Gold stars flew in front of Tiying's eyes, feeling ashamed and angry.
She heard Jiang Xuehe's mute voice blasting in her ears, and said urgently: "Exhale."
Tiying unconsciously followed his words.
She stopped sweating, and the stars stopped spinning in front of her eyes. She stared at the hood without blinking, and realized later that she had just done something bad because she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
Tiying glared at Jiang Xuehe.
She has a pair of cat eyes as clear as jade. When they are widened, the water is sparkling, innocent and pitiful, but also bright and beautiful.
She lost her temper at Jiang Xuehe: "Why are you holding my hand?"
After returning to his senses, Jiang Xuehe lowered his eyes and looked at her hand that was still trying to lift his hood.
Jiang Xuehe asked: "What do you do?"
"I..." Tiying stumbled and quickly found an excuse, "Didn't you promise me to pretend to be a newlywed bride so that you could be captured by that Wu Zhihui? But you are a man, how can you pretend to be? I, I have to do some disguising on your face."
Jiang Xuehe seemed to smile: "Junior sister can disguise herself?"
Tiying wouldn’t do it.
But she blinked: "Yes."
Jiang Xuehe said warmly: "Senior brother can do it too."
Tiying: "..."
Her eyes widened even more, filled with resentment.
But she was willful and pretentious, refusing to say anything that she wanted to see what her senior brother looked like - why should he ask her to beg, she wouldn't.
The junior sister, full of resentment, looked at Jiang Xuehe leaning over.
Jiang Xuehe said: "Junior sister reminded me of something."
Tiying: "What?"
Jiang Xuehe let go of her hand, pointed his finger towards her cheek and behind her ear, and tapped lightly through the void.
Jiang Xuehe said: "The bride Wu Zhihui wants should be my junior sister. The monster in the mountain has no pupils, and it relies on its breath to track us. It's not that I don't want to help my junior sister delay Wu Zhihui, but I just want to hide it from the outside world. I need my junior sister's body." Something... using junior sister's breath to lure away Wu Zhihui."
Jiang Xuehe: "Junior sister needs to give me something of yours."
Tiying suddenly realized.
She raised her head: "What does senior brother want?"
She took matters into her own hands: "Can I give you a hair tie?"
Jiang Xuehe's eyes fell on her——
Tiying is a cultivator, and she has been hiding from being chased all the way. When she comes to the Five Poison Forest, although her face is white and her lips are red, she has not applied makeup. She has no hairpins, earrings, armbands, bracelets, or jade pendants. The girl's thick crow-green hair is only held up by a hairband.
But the hair tie... Jiang Xuehe hesitated.
A human woman's headband would only be given to her husband.
Tiying misunderstood his silence, so she explained softly, and there was a hint of pride in her explanation: "Do you think I only have one hair tie in my hair, and if I give it to you, my hair will be disheveled? No, I have a hair tie in my hair." There are a lot of hair ties, and I can do a lot of beautiful buns, can’t you see?”
In fact, Jiang Xuehe had never looked at it seriously.
He just followed her wishes: "Yes."
Tiying laughed.
She was as beautiful as a peach and plum, forgetting the anger caused by just peeping.
She said generously: "I know how to do a lot of braids... After I get out, can I teach you?"
Jiang Xuehe: "...?"
He thought to himself what he would do to learn this.
But in order to prevent his junior sister from losing her temper, he just obeyed her calmly: "Okay."
Ti Ying really felt better.
She loosened her fingers that were holding his hair and touched her black hair, wanting to pick a hairband and give it to her senior brother. However, after several days of fighting and not taking a bath, many braids were tangled in her hair, and the hairband was hooked. There was no bronze mirror in front of her, so she couldn't untie it.
Tiying became irritable.
Before she tore her hair, Jiang Xuehe's hand reached out and gently pushed away her own hand that was moving around in her hair.
He didn't speak.
But Tiying knew that he was taking off her hair tie.
She put down her hand in a daze and sway, dug her sleeves with her fingers, and sat down obediently.
She looked up and saw her senior brother's hood shaking, and his sleeves gently brushed against her face, feeling itchy and soft.
She looked up and couldn't see anything clearly, she could only smell his breath.
...It feels very different from my former master.
The confused Tiying didn't wait too long. Jiang Xuehe held a slightly wide pink-blue hairband, stepped back, and distanced himself from his junior sister.
He may want to distance himself, but the cave is so small, and if he retreats, he will still be within a few inches.
Jiang Xuehe lowered his eyes.
He asked, “Is this hair tie okay?”
Tiying took a look and nodded.
Her eyes were still clear and clean.
Jiang Xuehe thought that junior sister was young after all and didn't understand anything. Whatever, she didn't know any better.
But when the second junior brother came to pick up Tiying, he had to tactfully hint that the adults should teach Tiying how to guard against men and women.
--
In this way, the two of them were speechless and waited for dark.
After all, Tiying didn't have the shame to pester the strange senior brother to look at his face. The strange senior brother sat in the dark and slowly wrapped Tiying's hairband around his own hand.
His movements were elegant and slow, and her hairband wandered around his wrist in circles, entangled with the scars, and carrying the fragrance of her hair...
Tiying watched intently.
Jiang Xuehe made a move: "What's wrong?"
Tiying turned away and said, "Humph."
Jiang Xuehe didn't say anything.
Soon, the last ray of light disappeared from the horizon, and the cave became completely dark.
In just a moment, the two of them felt the overwhelming evil energy between heaven and earth.
The talisman paper Tiying had posted outside the cave suddenly caught fire, extinguishing the formation. The little demons roar towards the cave one after another...
Tiying held her breath and watched Jiang Xuehe get up.
Those eyeless monsters held the red wedding clothes and rushed toward Jiang Xuehe.
Tiying opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she was afraid that the monsters would notice her aura.
She was suddenly startled.
Because of this, her hand was lightly tapped by Jiang Xuehe who stood up and flicked his sleeves.
That didn't have any special meaning, and Tiying did not know this senior brother before, but her heart palpitated for a moment, and she understood what the strange senior brother had not said -
I'm fine, be careful.
Tiying was stunned.
--
Her headband really works.
The little demons recognized Jiang Xuehe as her and put the wedding dress on Jiang Xuehe.
Tiying took a deep breath and lay down at the entrance of the cave, watching the moonlight dim and frosty night, and the forest trees being dyed pale white.
The shadows of the trees swayed, and demons passed by like locusts. The moonlight just poured down like flying snow. The senior brother was pushed into the sedan chair by the monsters, and Xipa and the wedding dress were wrapped around Jiang Xuehe.
There is fog in the mountains and forests, and the sky is shining white.
The little demons carried the sedan chair and took the newlywed bride to meet their leader.
Weird songs wander between heaven and earth:
"Red embroidered shoes, bloody wedding dress, crying father and mother. Riding in the sedan chair, bumpy and bumpy, the mountain road is rugged and the night is long, the bride must not look back..."
After they were far away, Tiying calmed down and began to look for traces of the "Shadow Separation Talisman" and do her own thing.
--
A dozen male and female monks walked cautiously in the Five Poison Forest.
Needless to say, they were the ones who bought information from Chen Da and hunted down Tiying.
One of the junior sisters was hesitant, afraid of the Five Poison Forest and also afraid of being deceived. They left the timid junior sister to look after the house at the foot of the mountain, while the others all entered the Five Poison Forest.
Don't blame them for being impatient.
They have a reason to get Tiying - for this secret, they hunt down the masters and disciples of Qianshan Sect. The old master only knew how to hide when guarding the mountain, and they wanted to get the secret from this young apprentice.
Although the Five Poison Forest sounds scary, Chen Da has promised that the big monster inside will only stare at Tiying.
They didn't have to compete with the big demon to snatch Tiying.
They just need to catch up with Tiying and get the secret that Tiying is guarding before the big demon kills her.
To do this, they can even team up with the Great Demon.
They moved carefully in the forest, and suddenly heard rapid footsteps in front of them.
The leading senior brother quickly stopped the junior brothers and sisters: "Be careful!"
On a moonlit night in the cold forest, they saw a little girl running out from the trees in a very embarrassed manner, with a shadowy figure behind her that seemed to have a demonic aura.
The girl panicked, with fear written on her face: "Help, help—"
The moonlight shines on her running figure.
Light, beautiful, and childish.
The girl's panicked eyes met theirs.
Everyone immediately said: "It's Tiying! Chasing -"
--
Jiang Xuehe sat in the sedan chair.
He wrapped his junior sister's hairband around his wrist, used magic to put the wedding dress on his body, and then replaced the hood with a hippa to cover his face.
When the little demons smelled the scent of the wedding dress on him, they confidently carried the sedan chair and headed towards the road in the mountains and forests that Jiang Xuehe and the others had never found.
After an unknown amount of time, the sedan chair stopped.
Jiang Xuehe felt a strong demonic aura walking toward him from the outside with adult steps.
He was so rested that he lowered his eyes and waited.
Five steps, three steps...one step.
The sedan curtain was blown open by the wind.
Hijab raised slightly.
