Thinking of this, Lu Ji was suddenly filled with tenderness, he longed to be with Master, and that woman also wanted a happy family.

It's a pity... When Lu Ji looked at her again, her expression changed again.

She looked indifferent, turned her head mechanically, and cast her slack eyes on the dresser beside the bed: "My mother was also a beauty before she was alive, but that day, her face was so terrible, her tongue, how can I... I can't squeeze it Going back... I sold the land, asked someone to buy a coffin, and rebuilt the mourning hall. But, three days after my father died, a group of relatives who didn’t know where came from brought a group of people and said: Father is dead, This house is his."

Her whole body suddenly came alive, with a ferocious expression: "A group of them lifted up the coffins of their parents and threw them outside. No matter how I stop... how I stop... no matter how... I can't stop it! I can't stop it Stay!"

"I...I want my parents to rest in peace. I want to burn paper money for them, hold a funeral that is at least not so shabby, and have a place to sleep. But...but I have no money! I have nothing! Except this body , what else do I have? Is there anything else?"

"Mother Chun from Yihong Courtyard gave me money, and I buried my parents. That night, I picked up the guests."

She suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you know who my first guest is?"

Looking at her expression, Lu Ji suddenly sighed a little.He saw Master suddenly closed his eyes, but finally opened them slowly.

When Xuan Ji opened his eyes, he seemed to see the heavy and hard-to-shackle self-blame revealed in them.

This made Lu Ji not want to continue listening.

But he didn't interrupt.

"It's him! It's that dog official! How can a place as prosperous as Yihongyuan not have a backstage? I...I..."

She interrupted her narration for the first time, weeping in a low voice, and the sound of the pipa brought out a miserable atmosphere.

She gradually stopped sobbing, and her words changed: "The dog officer has been looking for me since then, and I have lived like this for 13 years. Everyone called me a slut, scolded me, scolded me to die! Even Chun’s mother asked, you live such a cheap life, why don’t you die? I said, it’s better to die than to live. She laughed so hard , scolding while walking, Zhu Xiucai is a scholar after all, but he has such a shitty daughter."

"At that time, I said to myself in my heart that the dog official is not dead yet, how could I die first? I want to live, no matter what, I want to live, watching him forever."

"When I was 27 years old, a handsome young master came to Yihong Courtyard. I heard Lianxiang, the most beautiful in the building, said that as long as I could spend a good night with him, she would be willing to give money. But, that young master chose me."

She calmed down again, with a girly smile on her face: "The first thing he said to me was Miss Xiu. He called me Miss Xiu, and he called me Miss Xiu. He said, Miss Xiu, you are so beautiful." He said, Miss Xiu, you are so virtuous. He said, Miss Xiu, you are so careful.”

"That was the only happy time since I was 13. After that day, I got up early every day, picked out the best clothes, and put on the most beautiful makeup."

"I wait for him every day."

"He came for the fourth time, and the first sentence was, I heard some rumors about you outside. I turned pale with fright, I know, I can't get any good things outside. But I still hug you With a glimmer of hope, I asked him, what do you want? He didn’t answer me, but smiled and said, you live in such a mess, why don’t you die? I was so scared at that time, afraid that he would no longer like me. So I said to him, If the dog official is not dead, I will live, and I will live to see his end. But he said, no, you are afraid of death!"

She suddenly laughed out loud, with a frenzied look on her face: "I'm afraid of death! I'm afraid of death! I'm afraid of death! My parents were humiliated and died. How can I commit myself to kill my father and enemies and live on? How can I be afraid of death? But I still I’m afraid! I’m afraid that I will die in the wilderness and be eaten by wild dogs... No one loves me anymore... If I die, I may not even have a coffin!"

"After he finished saying this, he suddenly pulled out a dagger and killed me."

Her expression was suddenly calm, her eyes were slack, and her face had a strange indifference.

"When I woke up again, he was gone. I didn't eat or drink all the time, I just played the pipa in the room, and no one came to call me again. Later, I heard people outside said that there was a strange disease in the county town. , the common people fled away. And the dog official, after a few years of pretending, his official position was promoted."

"Later, I suddenly felt that the dog officer had left Ming City."

"One day after a long time, I suddenly sensed that dog officer again. It was the first time I left the wing room after death, only to find that the city was empty and there was no one there. I walked towards the city gate and saw it from a distance. Here comes the dog officer."

"I went to attack him frantically, but I could only scratch the dog officer's paw. There was a man next to him who was so powerful that he slapped me back to Mingcheng. Heh! But, when I scratched him, he was poisoned , this poison will kill this dog official and all the people who are close to that dog official!"

She smiled again and said: "Afterwards, I stayed in Yihong Courtyard all the time, not going anywhere, just playing the pipa. Slowly, I heard the voices of people, and the voice of Mother Chun calling Qiuyue to pick up the guests. .”

She slowly stopped the sound of the piano, embraced the pipa, did not wipe the tears on her face, and said with a smile: "What do you think of Zhu Xiu's story?"

Lu Ji controlled his words, but the words he asked were still almost cold: "Then... are you dead or alive?"

Zhu Xiu stroked the pipa with one hand, and said with a wry smile indifferently: "Life? Death? Does that make any difference to me? I am neither human nor ghost, who knows what I am?"

She got up again, knelt down in front of Xuan Ji Yingying, and begged: "I have heard the name of the real Xuan Ji, Zhu Xiu is not a person or a ghost now, I hope the real person will be successful, give Zhu Xiu a chance to reunite with his parents!"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Xuan Ji.

Xuan Ji looked at her and remained silent.

After a long time, he finally said: "Since the girl survived the catastrophe, she is also protected by your father in heaven, why bother?"

Zhu Xiu only sobbed in a low voice, but did not answer.

Xuan Ji stretched out his hand, trying to help her up, but Lu Ji preempted her.Lu Ji took a step ahead of him, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Xiu who was kneeling on the ground, and performed a cleaning technique on her.

But the cleaning technique fell on Zhu Xiu, but it didn't have any effect on her.

Lu Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at her in surprise, then turned to look at Xuan Ji questioningly.

Xuanji said: "Miss Zhu Xiu, you are really not a real person now. In my opinion, you should be a spirit now."

Everyone showed confused eyes.Only Lu Ji thought about it: Is it a formation spirit achieved by a living soul...

Xuanji went on to say: "The one who stabbed you back then should be the famous succubus Liuxu in the devil world. He has always been friends with the craftsman Li Caiweng. It is only through his cooperation with Li Caiweng that Mingcheng can become what it is today. As far as I know, 300 years ago, Li Caiweng found a way to transform human souls into magic weapon spirits. He tried several times in the Demon Realm, but all failed.

"I never thought that he came to the realm of self-cultivation... Looking at you, he seems to have trained you into the spirit of Mingcheng's original defense formation. So, now you are both dead and alive, but after all alive."

Xuan Ji looked at Zhu Xiu with his star-like bright eyes, and said: "Since you are afraid of death, then live well."

His eyes were gentle: "Don't let your parents have no one to burn paper money next year."

Zhu Xiu broke free from Lu Ji's support, knelt down with a "plop", and cried, "Really...Thank you for understanding...Zhu Xiu knows that it is unfilial to live for several years..."

"No!" Xuanji looked serious, he stared at Zhu Xiu's eyes, and said slowly: "Tragedies shouldn't continue, since you have such a strong desire to survive, why are you afraid of others' words?"

"Life and living are yours, and it's up to you to decide!"

Zhu Xiu's eyes were clouded with tears: "Zhu Xiu understands... I understand... I will never be so entangled again. The kindness of the real person can't be repaid, but I hope to follow the real person's side and tie a knot to repay each other!"

Lu Ji's eyes suddenly burst into flames!

don't!Three apprentices are enough!It is enough for Master to have me!

Xuan Ji suddenly looked at Lu Ji's arrogant expression from the corner of his eye, and smiled.He stretched out his hand again, quickly helped Zhu Xiu up, and said: "For many years, you have never practiced, and this opportunity wasted for nothing. Now, you can learn how to control Ming City with me for a while."

"Your situation is special, and it is not suitable for the Taiwangzong. When you are free, I will introduce you to Wendaoshan or Tianjixing Pavilion."

"Thank you so much, Master." Zhu Xiu bowed profusely.

Lu Ji stretched his face, envious and sad at the same time, looking at the mysterious and spring-like smile.

That woman was even helped by Master!

"Daoyi, where is the teacher's robe?"

"Master! Here!" Hearing Xuan Ji's inquiry, Lu Ji smiled and took out the white robe that was put inside before from the Qiankun Ring.

Xuan Ji took the robe, and looked back and forth between Zhu Xiu and the robe.

Lu Ji was suddenly blessed, and he immediately took out another blue robe from the Qiankun ring, handed it to Zhu Xiu, and said: "Master! I have a smaller one here, and there is a magic circle on it!"

Xuan Ji smiled in satisfaction, stretched out his hand to spread out the white robe in his hand, and while putting it on himself, said to everyone: "Since the mystery of Ming City has been solved, everyone get ready, let's go out together."

Everyone respectfully said: "Thank you, Daoist."

Xuanji turned to Zhu Xiu and said, "If you believe me, girl, can you let me try to operate Mingcheng?"

Zhu Xiu's eyebrows were affectionate: "But it's up to real people."

Lu Ji felt that something was wrong, Zhu Xiu was a formation spirit, if Master...

Xuanji smiled: "I'm sorry to bother you. Now, can I ask you to try to turn the entire structure of Mingcheng into a projection and show it to people?"

"Ah... my family... my family doesn't know what to do..."

"It's very simple, you are the array spirit, you are equivalent to the master of Ming City, you just need to think clearly about what you want to do."

"Then... let's try..."

After a while, an illusory city appeared in front of everyone.

Xuanji pointed to the gate of the outer city, and said, "Can you move us there again under control?"

Zhu Xiu closed her eyes, as if she was trying. After a while, she opened them again, with timid eyes: "Your servant... can't move a real person..."

Xuan Ji smiled and nodded: "In that case, let's go out together."

He turned his head and called out to Lu Ji: "Dao Yi."

"Everyone, let's go."

"Yes, Master."
