Lin Xiaoqiu held the incense burner and wanted to follow him in. Before Keren could enter the house, he was stopped by Shuo Bai.
"The incense has been burned and has no effect. There is no need to follow her anymore." Shuo Bai said, "I believe that Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Huang will be able to save Tangning."
He said it with certainty, as if no matter what the two old people wanted, they both had reasons to save me.
Old Master Bai glanced at Shuo Bai sideways and sneered, "I don't know, Mr. Liu's confidence is as great as his reputation."
Shuo Bai didn't reply, he just stood there and watched with a calm expression as Old Mrs. Bai carried me into the house.
After we entered the house, the door closed automatically. Shuo Bai and Lin Xiaoqiu were locked out.
I withdrew my gaze and began to look around the room.
This is an antique and well-decorated main room.
The space inside the house is very large, and six old sandalwood Taishi chairs are placed at the entrance. A high square table is placed between the two Taishi chairs. These six Taishi chairs are obviously prepared for guests. Behind the Taishi chairs is where the masters stay.
Behind the Grand Master's chair, a channel was dug out of the marble floor. The canal is more than one meter wide and half a meter deep. There are red and white koi carps swimming in the clear water.
The water channel surrounds the main room behind the Taishi's chair, which means the water channel separates the places where the guests and the host stay, and encircles the host's movement space.
In the space surrounded by the water channel, there is a round table in the middle and two round stools beside the round table. Next to it is a imperial concubine's couch. Directly opposite the imperial concubine's couch is a white single bed that is incompatible with the surrounding layout.
The iron frame bed looked like a temporary bed in a hospital, and it looked particularly out of place in a room like this.
Mrs. Huang was sitting in a wheelchair, parked in front of the iron frame bed.
Old man Bai held me across the wooden bridge and put me on the iron frame bed.
"Isn't this already a zombie?"
Mrs. Huang's voice was cold and mocking, "That snake wants us to resurrect zombies? He really dares to think about it!"
"Otherwise, he is a lunatic," Old Mrs. Bai agreed, "He has hurt you, why do you think we will help him! Ha!"
really.
They had no intention of saving me. They sent a car to pick us up just to take the opportunity to humiliate Shuo Bai and see Shuo Bai's pain with his own eyes.
Sun Fei must have known about the relationship between Shuo Bai and the two old men, so when she guessed that Shuo Bai was going to come to them to save me, she said that Shuo Bai was crazy.
It is clear to all of us that they will not save me!
But only Shuo Bai still insisted. Maybe he really had no other way to save me.
A smart person who is willing to deceive himself for me must have true feelings for me, right?
Mrs. Huang added, "Take off her clothes and see what the snake demon did to her to make her become a demon so quickly."
Mr. Bai responded and leaned over to unzip my coat.
When he saw the wound on my heart, Mr. Bai was shocked, his eyes widened suddenly, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Old Mrs. Huang with a shocked expression.
Mrs. Huang also widened her eyes, "No wonder the snake demon thinks we will definitely save her!"
"Is this the reward the snake demon gives us?" Old Man Huang's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "Is he really willing to give this to us? Old woman, with it, your legs will be saved and you can stand up again. Got it!"
I looked down at my wound.
At this sight, I was stunned.
My heart was ripped out, but my heart was not an empty hole of blood.
At this time, a small black coffin was stuffed into the bloody hole in my heart. And there were many black lines as thick as fingers extending from the coffin. These black lines penetrated into the flesh next to my wound, making my flesh and blood closely connected to the small coffin.
This small coffin is like my heart, and the black line is the blood vessel connecting the coffin to me.
This is……
Shuo Bai's soul-locking coffin!
"In order to keep this little girl, the snake demon is even willing to take out this kind of treasure. It seems that this little girl is really important to the snake demon."
While talking, Mrs. Huang opened her eyelids and looked me up and down.
After a while, Old Mrs. Huang seemed to have discovered something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked Old Mrs. Bai, "Old man, do you think she looks a bit like that old friend?"
After being reminded by Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Bai stared at me for a while and then nodded, "It looks like! It really looks like it! Counting the days, it's almost time. Is this the curse from back then that is finally coming true?"
I couldn't understand what they were talking about, but I could tell that the two old guys were obviously getting excited, and they were getting excited with bad intentions.
Old Mrs. Huang smiled. She was so thin, and when she smiled, the folds on her face piled up, like a cunning weasel.
She suddenly raised her voice and said, "Sixth Master, this little girl's life has been saved by us, the old couple."
"Thank you, Mrs. Huang," Shuo Bai's voice came from outside the door, "The soul-locking coffin is the consultation fee paid by this junior."
"Sixth Master is generous."
After saying that, Mrs. Huang looked at me and lowered her voice and said to me, "Little girl, you are dead, do you know? Death is like a lamp going out. This is the law of heaven. Resurrection of the dead is contrary to heaven. Okay, once discovered, everyone involved in this matter will be implicated. So little girl, you have to remember everything I say next to the old lady, and don’t make any mistakes in the future!"
"The key to resurrecting you is to deceive the underworld," Old Man Bai continued. "I will prepare a substitute for you and let the substitute report to the underworld for you. But remember, what is fake is fake. You will act in the future. If you encounter something sinister, you must stay away to avoid being exposed."
"The substitute can only last you three years of yang life. When the three years are over, remember to come to us, the old couple, to renew your life." Mrs. Huang said, "Also, when you come back to life, you will be different from a real living person. You will have yin." If Yang is weak, people with strong Yang will make you feel uncomfortable. So you will never get married in this life."
From the moment I worshiped Shuo Bai, I was mentally prepared to never marry.
What's more, my life is like a rented one, and something could happen to me at any time. I just want to live and don't want anything else.
I nodded and said with difficulty that I had remembered everything.
"Okay, you can go to sleep now."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Huang stretched out her hand and gently slid her arm across my face.
The silk sleeves caressed my face. As soon as I closed my eyes, I lost consciousness in an instant.
…
I don’t know how long I slept.
In the darkness, I suddenly heard a miserable woman's scream.
"I use all my divine power to set this curse. I curse you to fratricide, to be riddled with karma, to never be able to perfect your cultivation, and to never be able to ascend. You will be demons forever... you will be demons forever!"
The piercing scream startled me, and I opened my eyes suddenly.
"Xiao Ning!"
As soon as I opened my eyes and before I could see the surroundings clearly, I was hugged by Lin Xiaoqiu.
The moment she hugged me, a sharp pain like needle pricks instantly hit my whole body!
It was as if ten thousand needles were pricking me at the same time!
"ah!"
I screamed in pain.
Lin Xiaoqiu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Shuo Bai picked up his collar and threw it aside.
Shuo Bai picked me up from the bed and hugged me tightly.
There was cool air coming from his body, calming the pain in my body.
Lin Xiaoqiu was thrown to the ground. She sat on the ground and glared at Shuo Bai dissatisfied, "Master Liu, are you too overbearing? Why can only you hug me and I can't?"
"Because you will hurt her." Shuo Bai said coldly.
Lin Xiaoqiu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to refute. His mouth was open for a long time, but he didn't spit out a single word. Finally, he snorted coldly, got up from the ground, patted his butt and went out.
I had just woken up and was still a little confused. After a while, I raised my head and looked at Shuo Bai, and asked expectantly and timidly, "I...I'm alive?"
