Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 26 The Lamp and the Bug

The girl in white was still wearing a snow-like white dress.

However, her white dress today is thinner than before. It is a white flowing fairy dress made of light gauze, which can reveal the skin inside, adding a bit of charm.In her extremely sad tone, she softly praised:

"Hold your hand, and grow old together with you; unswervingly determined, always the same; even though it is like a cloud, I think about it..."

As she spoke, she moved her steps lightly, like a white cloud blown by the wind, floating in front of Su Ji, sending a wisp of elegant fragrance.

Su Ji couldn't help taking two steps back, never thinking that she lowered her head and swallowed softly:

"Could it be that you have forgotten all these words you have said, Mr. Xianggong?"

A cold "Xianggong" called Su Ji's whole body shivering!He could hear the implication of the girl in white clothes, that she said that she was always in trouble, and that she would not stick to one thing, and even if she broke up the engagement, she was just a poor person who had been betrayed and abandoned.This is clearly talking nonsense, and the donkey's lips are not right with the horse's mouth.

However, Eunuch Bai, who didn't know what to do, seemed to see the "door way", and couldn't help sighing softly.

The girl in white leaned against the door, swallowing, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but she only squeezed out one tear for a long time.

Su Ji was shaking his head at her poor acting skills, but Eunuch Bai was moved by it and felt pity in his heart, even Hua Rulang couldn't help but feel sad for that little tear.

Su Ji was very puzzled by the reaction of the two men, and lamented helplessly in his heart that tears were originally used to wash away the sand in his eyes, but unexpectedly they became a terrible weapon, and those who would use this weapon were often children and women , use it when you are crying, and use it when you are laughing, which often makes big men do not know what to do.

The tougher men are, the more they are afraid of tears. They boast that "tears are not lightly flicked", thinking that tears are just a humble trick of the weak, but they don't know that when the weak cry, they are already a strong man.Hua Rulang's crying that moved the girl in white is the best example, and the girl in white is using her own way to treat her.

At this time, in Su Ji's eyes, the girl in white could only see a terrifying deterrent force from head to toe, without any weakness worthy of sympathy.

Su Ji wanted to see what kind of tricks she was playing. Since he was said to be a heartless person who was willing to change his mind, he simply pushed the boat along and brought this bad guy to the end!He suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly:

"You bitch! How dare you spoil my good deeds! Do you really think I dare not hit you?"

As soon as the words fell, Eunuch Bai suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said goodbye:
"The old slave doesn't disturb the Pavilion Master's rest, so I will leave first."

After all, Eunuch Bai fled away in a hurry.He knows very well that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, and it is absolutely impossible for an old stick like him to get into this muddy water.

"Wait! I still have something to ask you!"

Su Ji called him loudly, but Eunuch Bai pretended not to hear him, hurriedly quickened his pace, and walked away in a hurry.

I wanted to put on a good show, but I didn't expect to scare away the only audience when I showed up. Su Ji helplessly raised his hands, couldn't help applauding, and praised the girl in white repeatedly:

"Good! The acting is really good!"

The girl in white smiled lightly, and there was a kind of noble coldness in her smile.

Hua Rulang only felt that every frown and smile contained in her was full of soul-stirring power, and her heart was beating wildly when she saw it.Su Ji's heart beat faster than usual, but it was because of his fear of the unknown.

"Acting, how can I compare to the two of you?" The white-clothed girl restrained her smile and said softly, "I'm just playing tricks, and I just want to enjoy acting. Look at my outfit, it's not bad..."

As she spoke, the girl in white lifted her skirt slightly, and the sun shone brightly on the snow-white gauze, making her more radiant and dazzlingly beautiful.

Hua Rulang nodded and replied honestly:
"Not bad! Very beautiful!"

Su Ji glanced at him, flicked his small forehead with his hand, and said solemnly to the girl in white:

"Which show are you acting in?"

The girl in white narrowed her eyes slightly, but a faint murderous aura inadvertently revealed between opening and closing, and said with a smile:
"If you want to survive, it's best not to ask too many questions, and accompany me to finish the play obediently. If you dare to disturb my elegant mood, I will settle the old and new scores together, and let you all taste that life is worse than death!"

"I'm on the verge of dying!" Su Ji sighed, "Jiang Ying is no one. When the news about my tearing up the marriage certificate gets out, not only his daughter will become a joke, but I will also be unable to bear it."

Seeing Su Ji complaining in front of her, the girl in white's originally smiling face suddenly sank, and she resumed her usual cold tone and said:
"Jiang Ying doesn't care about his daughter as much as you think. To him, everyone is just a pawn for power. If it were me, I would never sacrifice my life for a pawn."

"You don't want it, I want it!" Su Ji said hypocritically, "You are like an old eunuch saying that going to a brothel is bad for your health. You haven't tried or seen it, how do you know it's not good?"

At this moment, a childish voice shouted to Su Ji:
"Master! Come and see what this is?"

Hua Rulang excitedly pointed at the two boxes that she had just opened.

Su Ji shrugged helplessly, thinking that a child is just a child, and he couldn't wait to see the gift.And when he walked over to take a look, he was instantly confused.The things in the two boxes had never even been seen by an adult who claimed to be well-informed.

In the box on the left is an oil lamp-like thing, except that it is covered with dust, and there is nothing special about it.

Su Ji blew lightly, and the billowing dust choked him to cough again and again.

"Cough...cough...what kind of ghost lamp is this?"

The girl in white came over and said, "You are right! It is the shadow lamp of the Xuanhu Sect. Wherever it is illuminated by this lamp, all living things will be dissipated and become shadowless ghosts. This is 200 years ago. One of the scariest artifacts, people who are afraid of it also call it a ghost lamp."

"More than 200 years ago? Is it a broken lamp now?"

"The lamp is still the same as it was 200 years ago, but the monks today are not as good as before. The master said that when the Taoist priests from all walks of life were not conferred gods, there were countless strong people in the world. As long as you have enough mysterious energy, you can even use it to destroy All living things in the world!"

After hearing the girl in white's explanation, Hua Rulang's eyes widened, and she looked at Su Ji in horror.

"Don't be afraid, wolf, she's scaring you." Su Ji stroked Hua Rulang's head and comforted him, "Wolf can trample to death a nest of ants, but a wolf will never live in an ant nest. Those who have the ability Immortals who flatten the human world with one foot will never live in the human world, let alone need any magic tools."

The girl in white said disapprovingly: "Your analogy is not appropriate enough. If the teacher is still in the human world, you mortals are probably not as good as ants."

Su Ji sighed secretly, your master is no longer alive, he has been killed by a sword like me, a little ant.

The girl in white sighed: "It's a pity that the immortal way is declining now, and there are very few strong men left in the younger generation. Even the High Priest of Shen Kingdom can only kill one person with it."

Su Ji hurriedly asked tentatively, "Then how many people can you kill with this lamp?"

The girl in white was silent for a moment without answering, but turned her head to look at the other box, a glimmer of sadness flashed across her eyes.

Su Ji followed her gaze, and saw a small black porcelain pot in the box on the right, and a worm the size of a small fingernail was wriggling inside.The shape of the worm is a bit like a leech, but the whole body is milky white.It was sucking the little flesh-colored crumbs in the jar, making whimpering sounds as it sucked, much like a child crying.

Su Ji tentatively pressed his little finger on the worm's back, and the worm stopped barking.A moist and soft touch spread all over his body along his fingers, making Su Ji feel an inexplicable sadness.He retracted his fingers and sniffed, and there was a strong stench between his fingers.

"What kind of ghost is this?" Su Ji asked.

The girl in white replied with a sad expression: "It's not a ghost bug, it's a holy bug that saves people. It's the longevity Gu raised by Shen Guojiang's family to extend life. Judging by the size of this one, it can last two years at most."

"Life is short, if you can really live for two years, it is not easy."

"It's not easy! The person who makes offerings to this Gu needs to feed it with his own flesh and blood. Longevity Gu only eats the flesh of a child, and it must be the same child until the food is exhausted."

Su Ji asked in astonishment: "Could it be that those pieces of meat are... the last piece of meat from a child?"

Hua Rulang began to tremble.Su Ji's eyes suddenly showed grief and indignation, but the girl in white said:
"Not one, but many, many..."

After the girl in white finished speaking, the two people on the side were speechless, and then no one spoke again.

Your Excellency Xuan Ling was completely silent, so quiet that only the humming sound from the black pot could be heard, like the mournful screams of countless young wraiths.

How many innocent souls are wrapped around a tiny bug?
How many lives were lost behind an ancient oil lamp?
No one knows how many stories are behind the Jiang family's Longevity Gu and the Mo family's Absolute Shadow Lamp.

Su Ji only knew that they had all become chips of power and were placed in front of him.The person who takes the chips must make a choice in front of the balance of power.

However, from the moment the girl in white accepted the two treasures for Su Ji, Su Ji had no chance to choose.Regardless of emotion or reason, the treasures of the two opposing parties should not be accepted at the same time.

Su Ji stared at the girl in white, complaining secretly in his heart, if he only accepts one treasure, he can at least get the protection of one faction, but accepting two treasures means betraying both factions at the same time, plus the one who tore up the marriage certificate After all, even if he had ten lives himself, it wasn't enough to die.

A gust of wind blows, sending a ray of tempting fragrance.

Su Ji had never smelled such a scent before, so he couldn't help getting up and walking a few steps along the scent, his eyes quickly fixed on a box.He leaned over to sniff the box greedily with his nose, the scent became stronger and stronger, so thick that it stuffed his nose, but it didn't make people feel tired.

He just wanted to open the box to see what was going on, but he didn't expect the box to fly away by itself, and suddenly fell into the hands of the girl in white.

"It's mine now." The girl in white shook the wooden box with both hands and said firmly.

"Give it back to me! I can give you the two treasures just now!"

"Think beautifully!"

While the girl in white was speaking, Hua Rulang tiptoed up behind her, nodded quietly to Su Ji, and turned to the wooden box in the girl's hand with wolfish eyes...
