Chapter 148: The story of a man with a baby looking for his wife (28)
Chu Zhizhi slowly woke up from her coma. After a long pause, she stood up from the ground and looked around blankly. She saw an empty space.
It's like a deserted place, with no buildings and no lively crowds.
Chu Zhizhi walked towards the lonely figure in a trance, "Chang Yu... what's going on? Aren't we in the town? Why are we here now?"
Chang Yu was silent. He seemed to be in a state of despair now, completely different from the innocent and lively look before.
Chu Zhizhi felt unprecedentedly scared. Pei Yuzhou was not here and the others also disappeared. They seemed to be abandoned in an isolated place.
She hurriedly walked out, trying to get out of the wilderness, but not long after, she was blocked by a strange force.
Chu Zhizhi tried to reach out and touch it. There was an invisible high wall standing there. This thing beyond her knowledge made her skin crawl.
She ran back again, grabbed Chang Yu's arm, and said nervously: "What is going on? Why are we trapped here? Where are the others!"
Chang Yu finally made a move, his eyes moved slightly and fell on her face.
Chu Zhizhi felt a chill in her bones, just because the way Chang Yu looked at her no longer concealed his affection as before, but instead showed a kind of indifference when seeing someone who didn't matter.
Chu Zhizhi didn't know what went wrong. She thought she and Chang Yu were good friends, so Chang Yu was so kind to her, but now, Chang Yu made her feel terrible.
A long time ago, either when Chang Yu was taking care of the blood pool, or when Chang Yu and his master suppressed the strange things in the small Taoist temple, Chang Yu had an accidental look at each other and an inadvertent touch. Hence the curse of strange things.
Before his death, the master had been reduced to bones. Even if he had superb Taoism, he could not change the pain caused by the illness. Before he became immortal, his back could not be straight. He was only a skin and bones man, but he also had an inhuman form. General horror.
"I have saved a lot of people in my life, but I have also harmed a lot of people, and I have to bear the debt. Now I have to suffer, and it is right. Chang Yu, you are a very talented child, if you can embark on a path Unlike me, if you follow a path that is not stained with blood, you will definitely grow into a heavenly master.”
The Taoist priest raised his cloudy eyes and looked at the grown-up disciple in front of him, feeling both relieved and worried.
The path he cultivated was not easy to follow. It was stained with blood, but he had to keep the heart of the path. If he deviated even slightly, he would be doomed.
At that time, Chang Yu said confidently: "Master, I will stick to my heart."
The dying elder sighed, "Chang Yu, remember, every choice you make should follow your heart and not rely on divination."
The elder left this last piece of advice, and left the world burdened with sinful debts, and with unanswerable disputes.
But the habit of dependence has been formed, deeply engraved in the bones, and difficult to change.
Chang Yu has never forgotten the dream he had in the woods when he was a child. If he had been a step slower at that time, he would have become an evil spirit that everyone reviled and been imprisoned alone for a long time.
And in this dream, there is actually a second half.
One day later, a girl will appear. Maybe she doesn't know his evil identity, or maybe she knows and doesn't care. She will marry him and give birth to a lovely child with him.
In that dream, Chang Yu couldn't see her face clearly.
But after he reversed his fate, every time he closed his eyes, he would always return to that dream. In that wedding night, when he stretched out his hand to lift the red hijab on the bride's head, he would always wake up the next moment. Chang Yu is indeed very talented. He has achieved success in cultivation. Two hundred years have passed and he is still a young man. During these years, he has never committed any murder. He and his master have embarked on a different path.
But the bride whose face he couldn't see clearly in his dream haunted him more and more, and finally, he decided to embark on the road of searching for her.
Many years later, the town that had been plagued by the plague was now prosperous and lively. The people who had experienced the original tragedy were all dead, and the place had become a strange place that he did not recognize.
It was in this city that Chang Yu met Chu Zhizhi.
The result of the copper coin divination was three heads, and she was the bride he was looking for.
Anyone who targets Chu Zhizhi has suffered misfortune, and this is his handiwork.
The fact that the Chu family was able to find Chu Xiang after two years was also his work.
This is of course not because Chang Yu wants to do good deeds, but he knows that Pei Yuzhou and Chu Zhizhi are entangled, and Pei Yuzhou and Chu Xiang are engaged. If Chu Xiang can come back, Pei Yuzhou will marry her, and Chu Zhizhi will Naturally, he will be separated from Pei Yuzhou.
Chang Yu found Chu Xiang in a village. At that time, she was in a clothing store, choosing men's clothes, and heard that she was married.
Chang Yu followed Chu Xiang around the village. Her smile was dazzling. Although she complained about her husband when talking to others, the joy in her eyes could not be deceived.
Involuntarily, Chang Yu couldn't help but take out the copper coins, this time there were three tails.
So when Chu Xiang was carrying her things home, he knocked her unconscious and made her lose the memory related to her husband.
Things should go back to the original track, Chu Xiang should get married to Pei Yuzhou, and Chu Zhizhi should belong to him.
Naturally, the Chu family is better at deceiving them. As long as Chang Yu reveals his identity and tells the master and his wife of the Chu family that their daughter is haunted by evil spirits, they must not remind her of the past, otherwise she is likely to be approached by evil spirits again. Lost his life.
Therefore, the two years when Chu Xiang disappeared were regarded by her parents as two years of torture. Even if they later invited a doctor for diagnosis and treatment and the doctor quietly revealed that Chu Xiang had given birth to a child, they would only think that She must have been forced to give birth to a monster while she was imprisoned.
After Chu Xiang woke up, everyone made up a lie to hide what happened to her in those two years.
Master once said that he should trust his own feelings and make choices, but since that night when he was a child, he seemed to have lost the ability to make choices on his own.
Many things were beyond his expectation.
Why did his copper coin divination go wrong?
Why can Fusheng leave the sealed place?
When exactly did Fusheng create this false town on the road he must pass through? The purpose is to lure him into the trap of this cage.
Chu Zhizhi couldn't help crying, "I want to go out, I want to find you, Pei Yuzhou... Yuzhou... he must be looking for me too."
Chu Zhizhi often talked about leaving Pei Yuzhou and becoming an independent woman, but it was only when Pei Yuzhou disappeared that she realized how important this man was to her.
