Yougu Xiang continued to shout at the top of his lungs in the distance: "You guys are really good. You have passed two levels so quickly. Then the next level is Qiao Ji. Who among you will come?"
Su Fengfeng and Xu Chengcheng and I looked at each other, then stood up and said, "I'll do it."
You Guxiang said: "Since you have decided on someone, please move on! I hope that Zhang Tianshi can understand that Qiao Ji's soul is gathered on the wooden bridge, so she cannot come here. Five hundred to the north Mi, on the Sanli Bridge, the battle location of the third level is there. Please!"
I agreed without hesitation and said to the two people behind me: "Tian Sheng, Di Sheng, let's go."
After saying that, we moved towards Sanli Bridge. After five minutes of walking, we arrived at our destination. Sure enough, a woman wearing a kimono and a bun stood looming on the bridge. She had her back to me, her head lowered, and she had a strong air of resentment. However, unlike the previous two monsters, she did not have the slightest intention to kill. Maybe, this monster didn't want to cause killing, but just wanted someone to relieve her resentment for so many years. Not all monsters are evil, which prompted me to make a decision.
The Broken Life Sword was handed to Xu Chengcheng and said: "Hel the sword for me. The monster Qiao Ji has no murderous intentions. I think as long as I solve her knot, I should be able to win."
Xu Chengcheng said uneasily: "Yangsheng, you must be mentally ill. What you are dealing with are not shrimps and fish, but monsters from Japan! I can feel that this monster is more powerful than the previous two monsters." Much more. You'd better bring the Sword of Shattering Life with you. If it doesn't work, just kill her. You can't take it lightly."
As he said that, he pushed the sword to me again, but I pushed him back again, "Di Sheng, don't worry, I will be fine. Keep the sword! You don't need the broken sword to deal with this monster." Another point is that we are all one-on-one. If the opponent sets up a barrier, we have to solve it according to their gameplay. This also seizes our weakness and fights hard. We are not our opponent if we fight hard, so we set up a barrier. The world does not allow the use of force, and can only play according to the other party's rules of the game."
I stopped talking and resolutely walked into the other party's boundary.
Yougu Xiang officially announced: "The third light, Zhang Ruoxu versus Qiao Ji."
As soon as she came in, Qiao Ji turned around and faced me, but before she raised her head, she lowered her head and said to me: "Isn't Tianshi Zhang Ruoxu right?"
"It's me, what do you want to tell me?"
"I don't mean any harm. I know that you are a heavenly master with great abilities. Therefore, I hope you can open up my heart and resolve my resentment. To be honest, I repeat the pain of drowning every day. , this makes me remember the man who abandoned me every day, and I can't let go. As long as I let go, I will no longer seek revenge or suffer anymore. Can you help me? "
My guess is correct, Qiao Ji is not a treacherous monster, but she has a bad reputation for killing people. Therefore, many people stayed away from her. Over time, people became afraid of her existence, and most of them were scared away if they saw her on the bridge. Today, I met someone who was not afraid of her, which was indeed rare, so she opened her heart to me. However, I did not accept her attack forcefully, but adopted a roundabout strategy.
"Hashihime, I have heard of your bad reputation for a long time. You are a kind of banshee that appears by the bridge. You are also a kind of deified monster and god. You belong to the Japanese water demon and water god. Because you are a human being When I was young, I was madly in love with a man. Sadly, due to the secular concepts of Japan at the time, I jumped from the bridge into the water and committed suicide because I couldn't be with my beloved. Since then, rumors of Hashihime's murder have appeared. If If a man crosses the bridge at night, he will appear and lead him into the water to drown. If a woman crosses the bridge, he will be forcibly pulled into the water. Whether the woman lives or dies is left to fate. To be honest, I can't help you, because , from the perspective of us Chinese people, you cannot open your own heart knot by relying on others, you can only rely on yourself. Oh, by the way, I have read "Meiji Monster", and there are many legends and stories about you. "
Qiao Ji was stunned and didn't speak. After waiting for a long time, she finally spoke and said, "Since my story has spread to the land of China a long time ago, I want to hear what rumors I have. Zhang Tianshi, are you willing? Tell me?"
I smiled and said, "Of course, what's wrong?" Then, I dictated it to her according to the records of "Meiji Demons".
"The first one is also the most widely circulated. Once upon a time, there lived a couple on the bank of the Uji River. One day, the husband suddenly said that he was going to Ryugu. Then, he left home and never came back from the day he left. . The man’s wife was so sad that she died painfully. Because of her deep resentment, she turned into a ghost and appeared on the bridge."
"The second legend is about a woman who went crazy with jealousy because her husband married a second wife. To us Chinese, that is jealousy, but in feudal times, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. That woman After she died, she turned into the "Bridge Princess" and then started hunting men on the bridge, whether they were old or young, handsome or smelly, good or bad, they would all be killed."
"The third legend tells that "Hashihime" is the goddess of Uji River. A handsome man living there meets her every night. When he leaves at dawn, "Hashihime" will become the goddess of Uji River as time goes by. He will become violent and restless due to excessive sadness, and then he will start to hunt men indiscriminately."
"The fourth story says that in the past, there was a Japanese woman who was narrow-minded and jealous of others. She wanted to curse the object of her jealousy to death. She happened to be from a family of witches and knew how to curse water. So she immersed herself in the water every night to perform the curse ritual. In fact, , she darkened herself with the goal of becoming a powerful monster. In the end, she succeeded and turned into a monster to take revenge. This monster was born out of jealousy. Whenever she sees a beautiful woman, she will bring misfortune to the other person. . Therefore, in order to avoid the curse of "Hashihime", the wedding procession had to change its route and take a detour to the bride's house. This is one of the only legends about Hashihime harming women. To put it bluntly, Hashihime just can't see others. Happier than her, better than her!"
"In addition, in addition to the Uji River, there is also the legend of "Hashihime" in other places, but the credibility of this legend is obviously not as good as the previous four legends. It is the same as "My father was regarded as the person who built the bridge because of his advice. "Sacrifice, if the wild pheasants don't crow, they won't be shot by you." This story is similar. A woman's father became a living sacrifice for the construction of a bridge and died miserably. Out of resentment, her daughter turned into a demon and appeared on the bridge, causing harm. Passers-by crossing the bridge. This rumored story is just about feeling unworthy and full of resentment for my father, and does not involve any love. Therefore, I feel that the credibility of this story is not as high as the first four."
After listening to my description, Qiao Ji suddenly knelt down in front of me and said: "Zhang Tianshi is indeed very knowledgeable, much more knowledgeable than our Japanese Onmyojis. Moreover, you judged it very accurately. I did die because of love." The spirit of resentment. However, we were too backward in that era, with little information and poor communication, so my tragic story was widely circulated. However, it is not bad in general. If you want to hear me tell it, the real story of Hashihime Story?"
I also sat cross-legged on the bridge and said, "Okay, I will be your audience and I am willing to hear the details."
"On the shore of the Uji River, there is a beautiful little fishing village. In the village, there is a pair of childhood sweethearts. They were childhood sweethearts and were determined to die for life. I was that woman, who was obsessed with men. I thought that I had found the right person. I If I was sincere to him, he would take good care of me. However, I was too naive. One page before we were going to get married, he changed his mind and fell in love with a traveling geisha, and he ignored me from then on. Question. Because I love my beloved man deeply, but I can’t be with him, because I really love him so much, so deep in my bones. What a pity! We can’t be together in the end, all because that man has changed. My heart betrayed me, so I committed suicide by diving from Uji Bridge. After I transformed into Hashihime, if a man, especially the type of man I like, passes by at night, then I will appear. On the bridge, I use all kinds of charming methods to seduce men, and then lure them into the water and drown them. Unless men are not close to women, but men are lustful. So far, there is no man who has not fallen from my hands. Or left. Of course, it was that damn woman who made my man betray me. So, when a beautiful woman passes by on the bridge, I will be very jealous. I hate why she is prettier than me, so I will walk out of the water. He jumped out and took the beautiful woman into the water and drowned her alive."
As she said that, Qiao Ji's murderous intention was revealed. She finally raised her head and stared at me with those scarlet eyes. It is true that Qiao Ji is a beautiful person, but it's a pity that she is too jealous. He blames his death on the man who abandoned him and the woman who stole his love from her. To begin with, killing other people indiscriminately is the tragedy and abomination of the monster himself.
After saying that, she immediately rushed forward, grabbed my neck, and said, "All men must die. I'll throw you into the river and drown you. You won't have any objection, right?"
I smiled and said: "Qiao Ji, I understand your problem. You split into two personalities during your lifetime. After your death, your two personalities turned into two ghost personalities. Therefore, you are both good and evil. In fact, I don’t need to help you resolve your inner resentment, because you have already resolved it yourself.”
"If you say anything stupid, I don't understand."
"It's very simple. One ghost is kind, and the other is jealous and easy to kill. You just need to abandon the bad ghost."
After listening to my words, Qiao Ji instantly turned into a sweet guest...
