After Chenxing robbed the prisoner, he made a rough plan and sent his men to carry out operations. Hou Tu's injuries were still not healed, so he could only accept Tai Sui's suggestion and continue to hide in the north to take care of Aguan nearby.
So Hou Tu, injured, hid in the northern suburbs and occasionally visited Aguan. When Aguan lived in the iron house for the first night, he drove away his fatigue.
Hou Tu looked at A Guan and said slowly: "I'm protecting you secretly. You two children are too careless and careless, taking advantage of your possession of strange powers and wandering around randomly. In that cart filled with evil spirits, I saw When the evil ghost took the mortal mother-in-law to perform a spell, he secretly used the spell to suppress it. It seems that the old mortal also had a good conscience, and his soul was clean and pure, so he was not deceived by the evil spell and turned into an evil ghost. He was able to regain his soul for a while and interact with The evil spirits contend with each other.”
When Hou Tu saw A Guan lowering his head and wiping his tears, he knew that he had deep feelings for his ancestors and grandchildren, so he stopped being harsh and said, "Listen carefully, Qi Yuan originally planned to connect the like-minded great gods, small gods, and mountains. The ghosts and ghosts are launching guerrillas everywhere, and he and Chenglan take advantage of the situation when the main camp's troops are scattered to launch a surprise attack on the blessed land and seize the Taisui Cauldron. But this plan is too risky and I don't agree with it."
"I have lost contact with Qi Yuan in the past two days. The last time I received news, the situation was very bad. The Jade Emperor had annihilated Gou Chen's army, and the Taiyin had led the Eight Immortals to surrender. At the same time, Qi Yuan sent to unite the four directions. The generals of the Jingwei Mountain God were all pursued by the main battalion. I heard that the Jade Emperor seemed to have added many new generals, all of whom were new faces that I had never seen before." After Hou Tu said this, he paused. He added: "The main camp's new Tai Sui also led a group of Suixing generals to go north to hunt down the exiled predecessor Tai Sui, that is, you."
Aguan was suddenly startled and raised his head. Only then did he understand the meaning of Hou Tuqi's words, "Evil colleagues, no matter how good the friendship was in the past, they must not be careless."
When he thought about the possibility of facing off against Lin Shan, Ruo Yu, Qing Feng'er, Fu Sheng, and Fei Ting, and becoming enemies of each other, he couldn't help but feel cold from the bottom of his heart.
"So...how is Taibai Star's situation?" Aguan sniffed and asked.
"I have no information about De Target, why does Xiao Suixing ask like this?" Hou Tu shook his head.
Only then did Aguan briefly explain Liu Po and Atai's northward destination and Taibai Star's position.
Hou Tu sighed and said: "De Biao finally deserves to be the first of the five stars. Even in such a situation, he can distinguish right from wrong. If three of the five stars are still bright, it may not be completely hopeless to correct the chaos..."
After Houtu finished speaking, he coughed repeatedly and his steps were a little unsteady. Aguan wanted to help him, but Houtu just smiled, pointed at Atai on Ahuo's back and said: "I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river now, and I can't protect myself. My injuries are good and bad, and I still need time to recover, so I can't help you much. However, I can take care of this child for you. "
"Artai?" Aguan was stunned, still not understanding what Houtu meant by this.
Hou Tu smiled bitterly and said: "He has already injured his five internal organs. Even though I used spells to treat him just now, it is still difficult to recover. In the next few days, you will have to take care of him carefully, and at the same time, you have to take care of Fairy Die'er." , I’m afraid I have no other skills. Although my spells broke the evil spell of this cart, they were unable to stop the cart from overturning. This mortal was so tired that he was seriously injured. I took him away, healed his injuries, and taught him some spells. He seems to have some spirituality and should be able to learn from it. Then he can do some errands for me while I am recovering from my injuries."
Aguan thanked him repeatedly, thinking that with Atai's half-dead state now, he would be safer by Houtu's side than by his side.
"I will take this mortal mother-in-law's body with me. When the child wakes up, let him bury his grandmother with his own hands. This will be considered as fulfilling his filial piety." Hou Tu said nothing more, mentioning Atai and Liu Po's bodies, a few wisps of yellow smoke It appears and disappears.
Aguandai was stunned for a long time, then he knelt down and looked up at the night sky, then burst into tears.
Six Po's memories suddenly spread. From that ruined temple, she was besieged by Lord Tiger. Six Po opened the door, beat and scolded Atai with a cane and started... Delicious rice dumplings, strong paper figures, nursing home During the First World War, the First War at Toy City...all the spirits beat their chests and stamped their feet on the ground, and began to cry.
"Roar──"
Ah Huo jumped up into the air with a sad tiger roar; Ya Zai screamed and clawed at the ground with two claws; Tietou, Xiao Kuang and other lions and tigers raised their heads one after another, and the mournful sounds echoed through the clouds, shaking the sky. and the earth.
Become a human being
As the sky dimmed, Aguan returned to his old home.
His notebook recording many hiding places is still in the rental house of Liu Po and Atai. Aguan was worried that Emperor Shunde had left some sorcery trap there. In addition, everyone was exhausted and could no longer fight. It was almost dawn. After a night of fighting, he was dressed in tattered clothes and covered in blood. , and was carrying a large glove box with a naked girl inside. It was too eye-catching, so I had to go home to avoid it.
After closing the door, the spirits all collapsed on the ground exhausted, unable to say a word; the lions and tigers all lay quietly on the ground, leaning against each other closely, closing their eyes as if thinking about something.
Aguan carried the storage box into the toilet and opened the lid. The crack in the big pupa in the box became larger due to the collision, and all the brown juice inside leaked out. The coat covering the big pupa was already soaked.
"What should I do?" Aguan saw that the big pupa had split open and Pianpian's feet were exposed. He thought that he could no longer stay in the pupa.
Aguan swallowed, covered Pianpian's body with a bath towel, carefully helped her into a sitting position, and then gently wiped Pianpian's hair with the towel. Pianpian's long black hair was now covered in mucus and tangled.
Aguan turned on the hot water, rinsed the brown liquid from her hair, and wiped Pianpian's face with a towel. The towel wiped Pian Pian's cheek and wiped away a small piece of mucus. Although the yellow mucus could not be wiped clean, it could be easily discovered that the skin under the mucus was as white and smooth as jade, and could be broken by blowing.
"You have recovered and become as beautiful as before..." Aguan murmured in a low voice, recalling that for a long time, all he saw was Pianpian with her face covered, and even her original appearance seemed blurry.
Aguan gently wiped Pianpian's face, wiping away the mucus on Pianpian's nose, cheeks, lips, and eyelids one by one.
Pianpian's lips moved and her eyes slowly opened.
"Wow!" Aguan didn't expect that Pianpian would suddenly open her eyes, and was so frightened that she jumped back and hit the toilet.
"What are you doing?" Pianpian's eyes widened with surprise. When he saw Aguan, he quickly turned his head away and covered his face with his hands. He stretched out his hands to find something to cover his face, but he could only touch something sticky like juice.
"Where is this?" Pianpian was shocked at the same time to realize that she was naked, wearing only a thin bath towel, and sitting in a big box. She exclaimed, still not daring to put down the hands covering her face.
"This is..." Aguan heard Pianpian speak, and it was the same nice voice as before, no longer the hoarse voice after being poisoned by green poison. For him, it was like Pianpian was reborn, and he couldn't help shouting excitedly: "You don't have to cover your face anymore, you have recovered, you are as beautiful as before!"
Pianpian was stunned for a moment after hearing Aguan's words, and then touched her face. Sure enough, the pustules and bumps on her face had disappeared. She asked in disbelief: "I...what is going on?"
"Human Stone, I will use the human stone on you..." Aguan said, taking out a mirror from the bathroom shelf and handing it to Pianpian.
Pianpian took the mirror, but didn't dare to look at her face. She said tremblingly: "The human stone...isn't that a token of love between you and Qiucao? Why...where is this? Aren't you going to get married to Miss Qiucao?"
"It's hard to explain clearly at the moment...You take a bath, I'll get you some clothes..." Aguan smiled bitterly, turned around and left the bathroom, walked into his mother's room, rummaged through the closet, and picked out a sweater and a skirt.
When Aguan took the clothes to the bathroom, Pianpian was still wrapped in a bath towel, huddled in the glove box, staring blankly in the mirror. When he saw Aguan coming again, he quickly turned his head away, but he couldn't hide the tears that were falling.
Aguan didn't say anything. He gently put down his clothes and closed the door.
He knew that the tears she shed contained too much sadness and relief that could not be expressed in words.
