"Good brother." Lin Cong said so sincerely, vividly reminding a spy of the lying skills he should have. Not only did his tone seem to have put aside the past grudges, but his demeanor was also so magical that even a cunning old ghost like Mo Zhai, They all immediately believed it. Then he felt warm in his heart, quickly took Lin Cong's hand, slapped the back of the other person's hand heavily, and said to Lin Cong excitedly and righteously: "From now on, you will be my life and death brother, Mo Zhai." "Every bite I have, there is a bite for you."
From then on, Mo Zhai not only had no suspicion of Lin Cong, but was also grateful and his words and deeds became much gentler. This made Lin Cong gradually become his confidant, slowly replacing Qin Huali, and also accelerated the demise of Mo Zhai and the Mo family. .
The three human souls walked through the dense forest for a long time, and at sunset, they arrived in front of the Yantao Bridge.
This suspension bridge is built over the canyon and is erected with iron cables and wood. The front and rear ends are connected to both sides of the valley. The strange peaks on the wall are covered with lush bamboos and trees, and the sounds of apes are heard, making it full of wild interest.
To the south of the bridge is a cliff with jagged rocks vying to rise; to the north is a thousand-foot cliff, an extremely steep cliff. Several waterfalls gush out from the boulders, and the waterfalls are suspended in the air, and fall into the canyon. Loud rumbles were heard from the bottom of the valley.
Standing on the bridge, even on a sunny day, it is like being in the clouds. The silent rolling clouds and smoke can be picked up with your hand. On cloudy and rainy days, the smoke is even more vast. When you walk on the bridge under the cloud curtain, you can only hear the sound but not see it. People. Hence the name - Yantao Bridge!
At this time, the sky was getting dark, but you could still clearly see the garrison guarding the bridge.
Mo Zhai was neither frightened nor frightened, nor did he hide or dodge. He walked directly to the bridge and stood there, shouting to the garrison: "Mo Zhai is here. If you are not afraid of death, come forward and die." The sound was like a loud bell, deafening.
The garrison troops were shocked when they heard this, and turned their heads to look at Mo Zhai blankly. They had just received the order to strictly check the ghosts crossing the bridge to prevent Mo Zhai from escaping. However, they did not expect that this rebel would dare to stand so openly. come in front of yourself.
The garrison soldiers were shocked, and when they saw that this human soul was indeed the same as the portrait on the wanted poster, they knew that the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service had come. So, the soldier closest to Mo Zhai ran towards him without saying a word. Go, pretend to be in front of Mo Zhai with the spear in his hand, and shoot towards Mo Zhai to kill him.
Mo Zhai swerved unhurriedly, suddenly stretched out his hand with Duolai's gun head, grabbed the handle of the long gun, pulled it suddenly, and pulled the soldier in front of him. At the same time, he spread the five fingers of his other hand and pointed it at the soldier. His face was suddenly struck with a palm.
The palm of his hand struck out, causing strong winds to condense in the air beside his hand, turning into the head of a roaring tiger, with its mouth, nose, eyes and whiskers clearly visible. The next second later, his palm hit the opponent's door hard. , hitting the opponent so hard that his eyes were startled, and he staggered back a few steps, but his mouth and nose were already bleeding.
When he was working for Emperor Fengdu, he learned a lot of magical skills. One of them, Tiger Roaring Palm, was secretly taught to him by Emperor Fengdu at that time.
Then I saw the soldier retreating to the bridgehead. In front of the three-character archway with the word "Yantao Bridge" written on the forehead, he slowly sat on the ground leaning against a pillar, tilted his head, and died.
With just one palm, he killed a ghost. It was obvious that this palm was so powerful that it could easily break open a monument and crack a stone. It immediately frightened the other garrison troops so much that their legs trembled.
I saw Mo Zhai throwing away the spear in his hand and walking slowly towards the garrison. When he came to the garrison, he smiled slightly. The corners of his mouth just raised, and he used another move of Phantom Walk taught by Emperor Fengdu.
, his figure flashed and turned into a ghost-like black shadow, rushing towards the soldiers.
The few soldiers in the front row were just blurry in front of their eyes, and then they were all bruised and swollen without seeing anything clearly. After a while, screams were heard from the suspension bridge in the canyon, breaking through the blue sky.
Just after the battle between Emperor Fengdu and Mo Zhai, Xiao Shizhu also took half of the Xiao family army and King Kong's navy to turn around and headed towards Shuoyue Island.
After the fleet drifted at sea for three days, they arrived at the military port west of Shuoyue Island. When they got off the ship, Xiao Shizhu saw the ghost mother who was smiling like a peach blossom and was already waiting there.
Xiao Shizhu jumped in front of her in two or three steps, turning a blind eye to others, holding her in his arms desperately, and asked with a mean smile: "Honey, do you miss me?".
"Go to hell!" The ghost mother lowered her head shyly, slapped his chest with her hand, and said angrily: "Who wants to miss you?" She rolled her eyes at him.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Shizhu, who was neither annoyed nor angry, laughed loudly and asked deliberately: "Then I'll go back to Black Dragon Island." As soon as he said this, the ghost mother's cheeks became even redder and fierce.
After stomping on him hard, he cursed: "How dare you?".
"It's not that I don't dare." Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, took a deep look at her, and said, "I can't bear to leave you." With that, he took the ghost mother out of the port.
The ghost prisoner held Xiao Shizhu's eyes and followed the soldiers off the boat. He happened to see Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother's flirting with each other, and he felt very uncomfortable. The female ghost he had pursued but failed to get,
At this moment, she was smiling happily in the arms of another male ghost.
This made Guilu feel indignant, and at the same time he felt that he had really failed in his work as a ghost, and began to doubt his own life.
A moment later, when he saw Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother boarding the golden chariot together, he thought to himself: "What is so special about this little devil that he can make the Ghost Mother, who has a rock-like heart, treat him like this?"
Submissive?".
"Hey, the new groom." He was lost in thought when he heard Yu Rong say in a deep voice: "Why are you so stunned? Why don't you hurry up and follow me."
Gui Lu was startled, and then he recovered. He saw Gui Mu and Xiao Shizhu sitting on the golden chariot, being carried away by the little ghosts. After they had gone far, they followed Yu Rong and Xiao Jiajun at the urging of them.
After arriving at the Ghost Mother's Palace, Guilu went to Tianguyuan to offer incense and kowtow to Wei Shihe and Tiankuixing as agreed. After being taken out of the palace by the Xiao Jiajun, he and Hu Hui were taken to the Xiao Jiajun barracks to take care of him.
stand up.
"Mr. Wei, the vow I made that day has been fulfilled today." After Guilu left, Xiao Shizhu stared at Wei Xi's tombstone for a long time and murmured softly: "You can rest in peace."
The ghost mother took a step forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and said comfortingly: "Mr. Wei, if he can see with his own eyes that you are so promising, he will definitely be happy from ear to ear."
Xiao Shizhu nodded silently, but still looked at Mr. Wei's tombstone without looking away.
After the ghost mother left him alone in silence for a long time, she suddenly asked: "Didn't you say you wanted to give me a surprise?" As she spoke, she tilted her head and looked at Xiao Shizhu's profile expectantly.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." As he said this, he shouted to the outside of Tengu Garden: "Bring her in." After saying that, he saw two imperial soldiers bringing a timid girl in.
.
The girl was wearing a plain half-arm fairy skirt, but she was still elegant and refined. She was slim and tall, only twenty-eight years old, with a round oval face and small and delicate facial features. Under her slender eyebrows, her eyes were smart and delicate, like orchids in a deep valley.
. Standing in front of Xiao Shizhu and Ghost Mother with bowed heads, he kept rolling up the corners of his sleeves with his hands.
"This is?" The ghost mother glared at Xiao Shizhu and asked in a low voice: "Your concubine?" Jealousy instantly crept up between her eyebrows, blending with anger.
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Shizhu looked at the jealous look on the ghost mother's face and shook his head, saying: "Gui Qian'er, the former princess of Linglong County, wants to be a maid for you, what do you think?".
"Are you kidding me?" When the ghost mother heard this, her anger and jealousy suddenly turned into a smile. She looked at Gui Qian'er. After thinking for a moment, she said to Xiao Shizhu with a half-smile but not a smile: "She looks good, don't you think she can be my maid?"
Is it a pity?”.
"Humph!" Xiao Shizhu snorted coldly, spread his hands, shook his head pretending to be helpless, and sighed: "I also feel that it is a pity; but it is always unjustifiable not to bring you some trophies after a battle.
"." After saying this, he smiled at the ghost mother.
"Slippery tongue." The ghost mother laughed and cursed, but Gui Qian'er's delicate appearance aside, there was a hint of cleverness in the tension between her eyebrows, which the ghost mother also liked very much, so she turned to Ruochen and said: "Chen
If so, take this nervous little girl down to have something to eat; and then arrange a place for her to stay, closer to Juexiang Garden."
"No." Chen Ruo responded and called Gui Qian'er out of Tengu Garden.
"Actually, there is another surprise." Then Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother walked towards the inner court talking and laughing. When they arrived at the Wanxiang Palace, they just sat down. Xiao Shizhu stepped back and said to the ghost mother: "Shut up.
Eyes up."
Although the ghost mother was puzzled, she slowly closed her eyes with a suspicious expression. Xiao Shizhu took a deep breath, gently pressed his hand on the other person's forehead, followed the method his father taught him, and concentrated on recalling that incident.
segment of memory.
After a while, when Xiao Shizhu's hand left the ghost mother's forehead, the ghost mother slowly opened her eyes. Her already red eyes were full of shock and incredulous looks, intertwined together.
Immediately afterwards, a sparkling teardrop appeared in her eyes. After turning for a moment, it turned into a large, round, sparkling teardrop and poured out from it, slowly rolling down her cheek.
Her trembling lips opened slightly, but she was speechless for a long time. After a while, she slowly uttered a sentence: "Are you the little boy back then?" The shock in her eyes became heavier again when she spoke.
a bit.
"Yes." Xiao Shizhu nodded her head, raised her hand, and gently wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry." After blurting out an apology, the ghost mother threw herself into Xiao Shizhu's arms and cried bitterly. She sobbed and said: "At that time, I failed to prevent the two adults from committing suicide, and my husband, you, became an orphan since you were a child. I'm sorry.
, I'm sorry." After she finished speaking, she cried even harder. Regret spewed out with tears in her eyes, becoming more and more uncontrollable; it made her feel like a knife.
"It's not your fault." Xiao Shizhu hugged her, patted her back gently, and said softly: "This debt should be placed on the head of Emperor Fengdu." After speaking, he raised his hand to caress her gently.
He gave the ghost mother a few blows.
The ghost mother still didn't dare to raise her head. She was afraid of looking directly at Xiao Shizhu, who deliberately pretended to be disapproving in order not to make her feel more uncomfortable.
Back then, she was mostly taken care of by her parents-in-law, who taught her how to behave in the world, as well as divine arts and country-governing skills. They even had delicious food that the two ancient gods would keep specially for her. Although she never went outside
They showed off in front of others, but deep down in the ghost mother's heart, she had already regarded them as her biological parents.
Then the underworld was in chaos, so she was willing to risk death to monitor the underworld for her in-laws, and she had no regrets for thousands of years. Then she was forced to go to the human world to eradicate her in-laws, which was really helpless. She wanted to take advantage of this to help her in-laws escape, but instead
She didn't want to but watched her parents-in-law commit suicide in front of her, but she was powerless. This made the ghost mother live in regret for more than ten years.
When Xiao Shizhu first arrived at Xiaoyushan City, she vaguely sensed that there were signs of the divine power of her parents-in-law in Xiao Shizhu's body. However, because Xiao Shizhu still had the mysterious power of chaos in his body, the divine power was only very different from that of her in-laws. And Xiao Shizhu's arrival
The time did not match up with the time when the Holy Son came after Black and White Wuchang modified the Book of Life and Death.
This is because Xiao Shizhu committed too many sins in the human world, so he entered the underworld early. Because of this, and Xiao Shizhu's divine power was sealed by Black and White Wuchang in time, neither Emperor Fengdu nor King Qin Guang realized that he was
Son.
This was a blessing in disguise for Xiao Shizhu.
At the same time, it also proved that from the moment he was born, he existed to destroy Emperor Fengdu.
