red and white

Chapter 71

Wu Biyou said that the father was obviously not Mu Gesheng, so there was only one explanation left - Wu Zixu left something for him.

In the city one high.

The school history of City No. [-] High School can be traced back to the Republic of China, but few people know that the school's original director was Wu Zixu.

Later, the school was transferred to the public office, but still retained a school history museum, which is a small antique building with blue bricks and ebony wood, black tiles and white walls.

Ubi had set up a ground formation outside the mountain gate in advance, and the two of them hurried all the way, and arrived at Shiyi High School almost in an instant.There is a time difference between Penglai and the outside world. It was still noon when we went down the mountain, and it was already late at night after we left the battle.

Ubi Youjian and Mu Gesheng recounted the current situation of the seven families of Zhuzi, "The whole family of cooking supper is working on the mirage, and it has probably made up a shelf. The landslide in the water and sky has stopped and will not affect the world."

"The Yao family was supported by Anping at the beginning, and the situation improved a lot after the girl Chai Yanyan returned, but Anping was beaten up by his mother--at that time, the two had just finished negotiating business, and Mrs. An talked about it. Anping is just a fat beating, and after the beating, he directly throws it to Chai Yanyan for first aid, it's so fucking exciting, we are all stunned."

"There's nothing wrong with the Town God's Temple. Luo Shazi just came back from the Water and Sky Realm a few days ago and is taking the Luo Sha family to clean up Chai Bodhi. That woman is probably in a state of distress recently."

He paused, and then said: "There's nothing wrong with Fengdu, I've taken care of everything."

City No. [-] High School closed the school late at night, and the two climbed over the wall and entered the playground. After Mu Gesheng listened to his narration, he said, "You went to see Cui Ziyu?"

"I didn't find him." Ubi said, "At that time we were trapped in the realm of water and sky. Before we left, Luo Shazi told me to go and see my father when I returned to Fengdu." Then he said At the gate of the ancestral hall, I met Judge Tsing Yi.

Cui Ziyu handed him a will from Wu Zixu, and Wu Zixu left things in Shiyi High School for Mu Gesheng.

At that time, he was very puzzled by the will: Since it was left to the old, why did you tell me?

When Wuchangzi of the previous generation passed away, he had envisioned today's situation.Cui Ziyu replied: He expected that you would be at odds with Tian Suanzi, and what he left to Tian Suanzi may be able to untie your knot.

What do you mean?

It's hard to describe the past.Cui Ziyu bowed and said, this needs to be seen by yourself.

Wu Biyou and Mu Gesheng walked into the school history hall, and the two stood in front of a display cabinet. The glass outside the cabinet had been removed, and inside was a whole wall of photos.

Mu Gesheng looked at one of the pictures, which was taken at the beginning of the school. A young man in a Chinese tunic suit stood in front of the school gate, "This is the third child."

"This is the second child, and the fifth child." He pointed to several other pictures, some of which had changed from black and white to color, "This one should be three or nine days old, and they all taught here."

Ubi asked, "You already knew this?"

"I know that this school was built by the third child, and I also know that this school history building is a real ancient building. Do you know what it was originally used for?"

Ubi has: "Do what?"

"It turned out to be Wu's house."

"What?!"

"After the war, the third son renovated the ancestral house, and then built a school. Over the years, after demolition and relocation, there is only one original building left." Mu Gesheng looked around, "It turns out that this place seems to be a cafeteria. Stewed cabbage vermicelli.”

"However, I don't actually have any impression of these things. They were told to me three or nine days later." He changed his voice, "I didn't know that the third child left something here."

Ubi snorted, and took off a photo. The wall behind the photo was empty, and there was a little green in the palm-sized space.

It was a mountain ghost spending money.

Mu Gesheng didn't move, he stared at the money for a moment, then turned to Wu Biyou, "What's in it?"

Ubi was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily, "If you want to know, go and see for yourself!"

"Didn't you read it? Spoilers, okay?"

"How do you know I've seen it?!"

"You are my daughter. I have watched you grow up from wearing crotch pants. I know best what you are." There's something important."

Ubi was silent for a moment, then said: "I can't say, you can only see for yourself."

He calmed down unexpectedly, and brought up another topic a little abruptly, "Before I came out of the realm of water and sky, Rakshazi gave me the red knife."

"That knife is very powerful. I have tried many times, but I can only pull out the knife by an inch at most."

"If you can't pull it out, don't pull it out." Mu Gesheng waved his hand, "Why bother with such a dangerous thing."

"That's not what I want to talk about." Ubiyou interrupted him abruptly, "After Luo Shazi came out, I asked him if he could keep the knife with me for a while. After that, I practiced every day, from an inch To two inches, from two inches to three inches, before I went to Penglai, I was able to pull out half of it."

"I can do it." He paused every word: "As long as you give me time."

After Mugesheng listened, he didn't speak for a while.

Finally he nodded, "Okay, I see."

He wanted to rub the other person's head, but he stretched his hand halfway and put it down, "Silly girl, you have grown taller."

Ubi refused to say what he saw in Shangui Huaqian, but only said that there was a past in it, and he asked Mu Gesheng to see it himself.

"Drop the blood on it, and then you will probably fall into a coma for a while, and you should be able to wake up before morning." Ubiyou pointed to the hole in the wall, then squatted down by the showcase, took out his mobile phone and started playing games.

Mu Gesheng was a little dizzy, and thought that he had only slept during this time, and the mountain ghost spent money to become a projector, showing one section after another, and it was not at double speed.

He even began to suspect that the mountain ghost hadn't lost the money he spent, but had been hidden by these bad friends, playing puzzle games with him here after decades.No matter how old people are, they are not too childish, and they are still so childlike.

But when things came to an end, there was no other way.Mu Gesheng sighed, bit his finger, and took out the mountain ghost spending money from the wall.

The familiar darkness struck, and before he lost consciousness, he kicked Ubi once, "Stop playing with your phone, it hurts your eyes."

Ubi shook his hand, and misplaced a big move, so angry that he was about to curse.As a result, Mu Gesheng fell asleep directly against the wall, motionless.

Due to his special constitution, he didn't breathe when he fell asleep, and his face looked pale under the light, with a faint bruise.

Wu Biyou stared at him, and after a moment, he clicked his tongue impatiently, pulled off his coat, and threw it on the other party.

As soon as he entered the illusion, Mu Gesheng understood that the past in the two coins was continuous—he saw Chai Shuxin at a glance, and the other party was covered in blood and was washing by the river.

He has an impression of the surrounding scenery, this place is not far from Penglai, and you can still see the black smoke floating from the sky.

It should be that the murder and arson had just ended, and I don't know where this person will go next.

Mu Gesheng couldn't help but wonder, the money spent by the mountain ghost in the mirage was left by Song Wentong, and the money spent by the mountain ghost in Shiyigao came from Wu Zixu, and it turned out that they were talking about Chai Shuxin from beginning to end—these three The people are obviously in collusion. What the hell are these people doing?Do you want to make a series?

I saw Chai Shuxin plunge into the bottom of the water, and a few water ghosts were caught after a while. The opponents were just ordinary resentment, not Rakshazi's opponent at all. They stood in a row by the river, disheveled and skinny, like four funny mops .

What is this man doing?Looking for someone to rub your back?

Mu Gesheng couldn't figure it out at all, but the next scene made him dumbfounded for a moment. He saw Chai Shuxin put on his clothes, walked into the woods with four water ghosts, and carried out a coffin after a while.

Mu Gesheng could figure it out with his toes, the coffin must be himself!

He came back from the dead, one of the biggest strange things is his body, the dead body is used to lock the soul of the living, no matter how many medicinal materials are used, this effect cannot be achieved, Chai Shuxin can take his soul from the mountain ghost's money To recall him, he must have used some kind of unfathomable method.

He followed the four-faced "funeral" procession forward, wading through mountains and rivers all the way, Chai Shuxin seemed to be in a hurry, walking in a hurry, but sometimes stopped suddenly.After wearing stars for several days, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Mu Gesheng didn't expect that Chai Shuxin would return to the ancient city.

At this time, it has not been long since the city was broken, and it was still in the years of war, the lights on the street were scattered, and the moonlight cast a layer of gray.

The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, the dead are turned into a speck of ashes under the moon, and the living become a ball of fire on the lamp.

The water ghost walked across the street carrying the coffin.

Chai Shuxin stopped in front of a building, and Mu Gesheng looked at the blue tiles and red doors, and suddenly realized that this was the Town God's Temple back then.

Chai Shuxin pushed open the door and brought in a gust of dark wind, which blew out the candles in the temple.The evil spirit on his body alarmed the City God, and the god statue on the altar showed his real body, and said in a rage, "Where is the evil ghost?"

The City God is a city priest who governs the affairs of the yin and yang worlds. Even though the incense was scarce during the war years, ordinary monsters and ghosts would not dare to trespass in the City God Temple. Can't break in.

Chai Shuxin had no choice but to turn back, moved the coffin in by himself, and then waved to the four water ghosts, indicating that they could go away.

Chenghuang recognized Chai Shuxin, "Young Master Yao? No, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with your evil spirit?"

Chai Shuxin said nothing, and slowly placed the coffin in the middle of the yard.

Cheng Huang looked at the coffin, frowned and said, "Are you here to avenge the dead? This man has lost his soul and cannot be promoted."

"I know." Chai Shuxin nodded expressionlessly, "I'm not here to seek justice."

Of course he didn't come to seek justice.Muge thought.

He's here to rent.

Still not paying rent.

The city god is not a high official among ghost officials, but since ancient times there have been cities, and even in Fengdu, they can be regarded as the oldest ghosts and gods.

It is said that strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, no matter how big or small ghosts are, whenever they go to the city to do business, they must greet the city god in advance.

It may be the first time in history that the majestic City God has been occupied by the dead.

Chai Shuxin was originally reticent, but after becoming a Rakshazi, he was even more able to move his hands without saying a word, directly beat the city god with a bruised nose and swollen face, and lived in it grandly.

He seemed to want to do something, handed Chenghuang a list, and said concisely: "Please help me prepare the above things."

Not knowing what was written on the paper, the City God looked at it and was very embarrassed, "Luo, Luo Chazi, you don't know something. Just after the war, the enemy troops stationed in again. There are almost no people in the city. These things are really bad. Get ready..."

"I know." Chai Shuxin said lightly: "Please worry about it, these things must be ready before tomorrow, I'm in a hurry."

His expression is reasonable and his tone is unquestionable, which is simply neo-hegemony.But if the City God governs a city, if he says it is difficult to handle, I am afraid it will be really difficult to do so.

What exactly does Chai Shuxin want?

"This, this..." The City God showed embarrassment, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Well, to tell you the truth, there is actually a happy event in the city tomorrow, and a family is going to marry a daughter."

Chai Shuxin's expression moved slightly, "Which family? Where is it?"

"This is disgraceful, the man is not a good person." The city god sighed, "The battle was lost, and someone in the city became a traitor to find a way to survive. He was a dog, and the original spouse was in a hurry to remarry right after his death. I also feel sorry for the girl who was married. .”

"As for the place where we got married..." the city god hesitated, "This dog thief got power not long ago, and before he had time to build the mansion, he first refurbished the front yard of the original family and lived in it."

"That's, that's the original Yaojia Chaifu."

One year has passed since the defeat, and another winter.

It is also the season when Yaehanhong is in full bloom.

In the courtyard, the red plums are like fire, and the dark fragrance is floating. There are bright red brocades everywhere, and the lanterns are hung high.

"Be quicker with your hands and feet!" The housekeeper in new clothes yelled at the servants, "The auspicious time is coming soon! The new lady will come in at noon, and no one is allowed to hit anything today, or be careful with your skin!"

Everyone was busy, but the sharp-eyed butler spotted a young man in white, and immediately raised his voice, "Hey! Boy, are you out of your mind? Today, the master is very happy. You have the guts to wear white clothes. ?”

The other party was standing under the corridor, hanging a lantern, turning a blind eye to the yelling.

The butler was immediately annoyed, and stepped forward in two or three steps, raising his voice to scold, but suddenly froze.

The young man was holding a lantern in his hand, and he hadn't paid attention to it when he was far away, only now did he realize that it was a revolving lantern.

Half red and half white, the words Double Happiness were written in ink, and it spun in the wind, just forming a complete Chinese character "囍".

Tall horses, gongs and drums blaring, deafening joy echoed in the streets.

The lady of the Wu family sat on the wedding sedan chair, her fingers clasped tightly.

The Wu family was originally a scholarly family in the city, but it was a pity that it fell during the war, her parents died young, and her relatives and friends were scattered. She had to drop out of the girls' high school and took her young brother to barely make a living in the city.

Guan Shanyue's Aunt Zhao took pity on her, and saw that she had a handsome appearance, so she invited her to be a watchman in Lelou, and taught her the pipa carefully. She learned it very quickly, and soon she was able to perform on stage. , Although living a poor life, finally maintain a food and clothing.

Until the ancient city was broken and the enemy entered the city.

Aunt Zhao originally persuaded her to go together, but she stayed because her younger brother was also in Commander Mu's army.

She had seen that handsome young military officer, when he returned from studying abroad that day, he sang a West Chamber song with her with a smile, his expression was friendly but not intimidating, reminding her of her own brother.

After the defeat, she dug under the city wall for a long time, but did not find any familiar corpses, whether it was Mr. Wu, Master Song, Young Master Yao or Commander Mu, including her younger brother.

So she decided to live.

She became a pipa and made a living by doing laundry and sewing. She watched the enemy soldiers burn down the General Mu’s mansion, smashed the Wu’s mansion, Yeshui Zhuhua was demolished, and Guan Shanyue was requisitioned as the Ministry of Comfort. There are 360 ​​cold winters, and the world is turned upside down in an instant.

Until a few months ago, when she was doing laundry for a big family, she suddenly found a tie—it was a very expensive birthday present she bought for her younger brother, and it was only after she bought it that she realized it was a joke. The tie was meant to match a suit wear.Fortunately, my younger brother didn't dislike it, and smiled and sewed a pocket in the skirt, saying that it would be used as a talisman.

At that time, she thought that when she saved enough money next year, she would buy him a suit.

The lady of the Wu family knew that she had to find out the origin of this tie. She dug out the only remaining cheongsam, used her savings to buy rouge and gouache, and put on the most beautiful makeup with unfamiliar techniques. The pipa was mixed into the dance party of the rich family.

She used to be Guan Shanyue's music concubine, and she could be as charming as she could with every gesture, shocking everyone with her skills, and turning all beings upside down, as long as she was willing.

At the ball, she danced with the head of the family, and since then she has been frequently in and out of the mansion. After half a month, she successfully asked the origin of the tie - it was a gift from a servant.The owner said so.

She found out the identity of the servant. He was the housekeeper of the mansion. He had a son in the barracks, and his job was in Chengxi Prison.

She asked many people to inquire, and finally learned that prisoners of war are often shot in prison, and people always like to keep precious things with them before they die. Many of them are worth a lot of money. origin.During the war, Western goods were in short supply, and the housekeeper's son recognized that they were valuable items, so he borrowed flowers and offered them to Buddha to curry favor.

The wife of the Wu family has worked as a laundry worker, and she knows that blood stains are difficult to wash off. This tie can be as clean as new, so it must be preserved and cherished.

And her younger brother kept the tie next to his body.

Half a month later, the wife of the Wu family agreed to the marriage proposal of the Patriarch.

Of course she wants revenge, but there are too few opportunities to do so, and getting married is the best opportunity.

The other party is not ruthless, and the bright matchmaker's marriage can be regarded as sincerity, but the country's enemies hate the surging river, and they can't just take a spoonful to drink.

The sedan chair stopped suddenly, and a gust of wind blew open the curtains of the sedan chair.

The lady of the Wu family was slightly startled, and found that there was no one on the street at some point, only the sound of suona echoing.

All the people who greeted the relatives disappeared, and the bearers also disappeared, but the wedding sedan chair was still hanging in the air.

The lady of the Wu family suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, opened the curtain and looked outside, and found that the sedan chair was parked at the end of a long street, and outside was a Town God's Temple.

Just when she didn't know what to do, a cold hand suddenly stretched out, and there was a light female voice, mixed with a few chuckles: "Today is destined, let me borrow the girl's dowry."

"As a reward, I will fulfill a wish for you."

Chenghuang stood in the temple with cold sweat, watching a few strands of green soul lead a newly-wed bride into the temple gate, drifting leisurely to the wing room, after a while, a strand of green soul came out, holding the red wedding dress and Dowry.

"I've changed her spare clothes and sent her out of the city immediately." Qing Hun looked like a woman, and bowed her head slightly towards the city god, "If Wang Yinxiang is lit in the room, she won't remember anything after waking up."

The City God nodded quickly, the chariot and horses were prepared behind the temple, Qinghun sent the Wu family lady into the chariot, and immediately rode out of the city.

These green souls were all summoned by Rakshazi before he left in the morning. There is a green lotus in the River of Forgetfulness, which will produce a strand of soul after a thousand years, which can be regarded as a ghost fairy.He watched a group of green souls come and go in and out of the wing room, and after a while, he helped out a bride who was covered with a veil.

Of course, this bride was not the lady from the Wu family who had just been sent away, but Luo Shazi had just brought her here yesterday, and she was still lying in the coffin a few hours ago.

Yesterday, Luo Shazi handed him a list, which was full of wedding items. He originally thought that Luo Shazi had taken a fancy to some city girl and asked him, the city god, to be a matchmaker.

Chai Shuxin walked around the Town God's Temple, frowning slightly, as if he felt that it was too messy - there was nothing he could do about it, in times of war, gods and ghosts could only make do with it.Chenghuang originally wanted to say that there are two clean rooms in the backyard, but seeing that the other party took a broom from nowhere, he rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning.

If one ignores the evil aura surrounding Luo Shazi, the other person's expression could even be called quiet. He cleaned the entire temple meticulously, then washed his hands, and put on a set of clean clothes.

At that time, the sky had already darkened, and the City God saw Chai Shuxin walk into the courtyard and raised his hand to open the coffin.

His movements were extremely slow, and after the coffin lid was opened, Chai Shuxin stood silently for a long time.

Cheng Huang's legs were sore from watching, just when he couldn't help but want to say something, Chai Shuxin lay down in the coffin, and then closed the coffin lid.

Good guy.Cheng Huang was stunned, and then realized that Rakshazi had fallen in love with the girl in the city.

If you are going to be a matchmaker for a living person, why bother looking for him as a city god.

In the early morning of the second day, Chai Shuxin left. Before leaving, everything was arranged, and the body could not move. He breathed a sigh of relief to the other party, which was enough to support the entire ceremony.

The green souls didn't take offense at this nondescript happy event, on the contrary they were a little bit excited. They were ghosts and immortals, and their ghost aura was not heavy enough to enter and exit the Town God's Temple freely.

The bride was helped onto the wedding sedan chair, and the city god scattered a lot of paper money, and then lit firecrackers, and the sound of suona shook the sky and the earth.

The city god sees off the relatives, the green soul carries the sedan chair, and the ghosts accompany them.

Knot the front, get married to the next life.

The plum blossoms rustled, and the originally lively Chai Mansion suddenly became silent.

"Your Excellency came here today, and I am far away from welcoming you." Chai Shuxin wiped his hands, "I have caused you a lot of trouble, please forgive me."

A cyan figure stood in the plum garden, with corpses strewn across the ground in front of him.

Cui Ziyu let out a long sigh, "Luo Shazi, according to the book of life and death, these people shouldn't die today."

"Then the book of life and death will be changed." Chai Shuxin said indifferently: "A traitor, death is not a pity."

"Originally seducing souls and killing lives is an impermanent errand. I noticed something different, so I rushed here first." Cui Ziyu tied the ghosts together, shook his head and said, "Remember to pull out the tongues of these corpses, otherwise you will be killed when you go to Hades." Talking nonsense."

"I know." Chai Shuxin said: "Some innocent people have been locked in the backyard by me. Before your lord leaves, please go and light a stick of forgetful incense."

"Okay." Cui Ziyu bowed slightly, "I will take my leave."

"You can stay and watch the ceremony."

"Rakshazi's wedding wine, I'm afraid no one would dare to drink it." Cui Ziyu smiled bitterly: "There are many weddings and weddings, but your marriage is going against the sky. I don't have such a strong cultivation, so I don't dare to speak nonsense. .”

"I was the one to be rude." Chai Shuxin nodded, "Go slowly, my lord."

There was the sound of suona outside the door, Chai Shuxin was slightly startled, then took off his white clothes, revealing his bright red wedding clothes.

He broke off a branch of plum blossoms, and there was a wind blowing on the flat ground, and the red plum blossoms fell all over the garden, and the corpses were buried everywhere, and the strong smell of blood was covered up by the fragrance of the flowers.

Cui Ziyu found that Luo Shazi's expression was almost gentle.

"he came."

White things are sad, red things are happy, I go from the underworld to the world, joss sticks, paper horses and sedan chairs are prepared, and Meng Po respects and joins the wedding.

White paper and red clothes, ten miles of suona, life depends on each other, death also depends on each other.

There was a sound of joy, and there was a long singing of congratulations.

"Worship the heavens and the earth-"
