Chapter 76: Falling Horse (7)
Xu Chu?
Gu Yuejiarong confirmed that he did not recognize the jailer in front of him, but he felt that he had heard this name somewhere before, and even the other person's smiling face felt familiar.
Unconsciously, he started chatting and asked: "Who sent this?"
Now that he is defeated by everyone, who will get involved at this time? Woolen cloth?
"It's your wife Wang Mei." the jailer told him.
Gu Yuejiarong was silent for a moment and took out a letter from his sleeve: "Xu Chu, if she comes again next time, can you give this to her for me?"
The jailer took it and saw the word "letter of divorce" written on it: "..." No, this is how you repay someone who never leaves you?
The jailer probed: "Lord Gu Yue, is it because you feel that you have burdened Madam, so you want to divorce her and let her live?"
"No." He didn't look for it. Hypocritical reasons, the faint moonlight shines in from the iron window. Although he is down and out, he is still like a piece of cold jade, his bones are young and his eyes are as ice.
"All my life, I have often thought, why am I living? Just like I have never had the kind of feelings for her that my mother talked about. We have been married for more than 20 years, and looking back on the past, it seems that everything is meaningless."
"Life is a kind of meaning, so why bother to explore what this meaning is? Furthermore, feelings are actually a very mysterious thing. Do you feel that you don't have the kind of meaning for her that your mother said? There are feelings, but there may not be any feelings between you," the jailer said.
“Are you also persuading me?” Gu Yuejiarong suddenly smiled. He raised his head, stared into the empty air, and said: “I always feel that there is always a voice, and it wants to persuade me to like it. Wang Mei, maybe not Wang Mei, but just a random person, it tells me to experience the feeling of joy, but I’m sorry, I try my best, but I can’t do it.”
The jailer’s throat. I was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to say.
“You are too stubborn and too sober.”
"Really?"
The two of them didn't speak anymore for a while, until someone shouted anxiously outside: "It's running into water, it's running into water! Run!"
The jailer was startled and quickly took out the key and opened the iron chain: "Sir, hurry up, come with me, I'm in trouble!"
Guyue Jiarong was forcibly pulled by "Xu Chu" and ran away. Surrounded by raging fire, people are in a sea of fire, as if they are being swallowed by a huge heat wave.
"Sir, let's escape together." The jailer suddenly suggested.
"Escape?"
"Yes, sir, didn't you say that? You have been trapped all your life and cannot be free. Now that this fire has wiped everything out, then the former Gu Yue Jiarong We will treat him as if he died in this fire. From now on, you can be yourself and please the person you really like."
"Xu Chu" turned around, she was running. , the hat fell off askew, she pulled it off, and her hair fell down. Her little face, which was flushed by the fire, was soft and quiet. She smiled at him and encouraged him.
Gu Yuejia Rong stared at her blankly, then opened his eyes slightly: "You——"
But before he could respond, a familiar call came from behind him Voice: "Garyon——"
They were in a sea of fire, the fire was burning everything, people's shouts echoed in the flames, the scene was chaotic, but Gu Yuejiarong felt that all the sounds seemed to have disappeared.
He turned around in shock, only to see Wang Mei holding a sword and leading a group of people into the fire scene. Twenty years later, she was already in her forties, and her face was not as plump as that of a young girl. delicate.
But she had a temperament that had accumulated over time. She stood calmly in the fire and said, "Come here."
It was just two words, but he was shocked.
"...Wang Mei?"
Wang Mei glanced at "Xu Chu" beside him and asked: "Where are you going to leave me and go with other women?"
"I'm sorry." He apologized subconsciously.
"What's wrong with that?" "?" Wang Mei raised his eyebrows.
"Sir, you are not wrong, you just followed your heart."
"Xu Chu" threw the "letter of divorce" written by Gu Yue Jiarong to Wang Mei: "My lord asked me to give this to you."
Wang Mei knelt down to pick it up, and then put the letter After taking it apart, "Xu Chu" took advantage of this opportunity and immediately picked up Gu Yuejiarong and ran outside.
But after running a certain distance, there was no movement behind him. Gu Yuejiarong looked back uneasily, only to see Wang Mei tearing up the "letter of divorce". She remained motionless in the middle of the sea of fire, even if she was above The beams were burnt black, brittle, and crumbling...
His heart was like an ant being grilled by the flames, anxious and frightened, with nowhere to escape.
He finally broke away from "Xu Chu"'s hand and resolutely turned around and ran towards the fire.
"Xu Chu" froze, turned around, and shouted in disbelief: "Guyue Jiarong, are you crazy?! Haven't you always wanted to get rid of her? Why do you want to look back?"
But he didn't answer, but rushed forward regardless of his own safety, spreading his arms to protect the petite Wang Mei.
The tongues of fire swept across, and the intense pain made people feel like they were walking through hell. Every inch of skin on the body seemed to be severely burned by the flames.
Wang Mei raised her face in his arms. Those deep and mysterious eyes had an unearthly tranquility that made Gu Yuejiarong lose his mind. He asked in a trembling voice: "...It's you "
Wang Mei smiled, just like the lake in autumn can tolerate all the complexity of the world, with a touch of gentleness in the slightly upturned eyes: "I said, as long as you don't recognize me, , I will always find you.”
Gu Yue Jiarong also smiled, like the bright stars in the quiet night sky, exuding a soft and peaceful light, so beautiful that it was breathtaking: "It's you."
The eyes can be deceiving, but the feeling in his heart But it has always been guiding him. Throughout his life and decades, what he is looking for...
He looked at her, and the "Peach Blossom Evil" on the back of his neck was induced at this time.
Wang Mei said "Huh".
"Xu Chu" stood there blankly, all the noisy sounds were distorted in the fire, she suddenly laughed at herself and tore everything apart.
Flames, cells, figures, injuries...illusory dreams, Ying Mei's life, as if the curse was suddenly broken.
Ying Mei’s eyes were about to burst, and her eyes were red as if they were dripping blood.
"Why? Whatever you like, I will become like that, but why is it that the person who makes you fall in love in the end is never me?"
The charm of having a "Xu Chu" face , a sharp voice with strong unwillingness and jealousy.
"Haven't you always disliked Wang Mei? Why did you want to look back in the end?"
And why did she give up in the end?
The three of them returned to reality. It was still dark and the night had not passed yet, but Gu Yuejiarong and the three of them had spent almost their entire lives in a dream.
Remembering everything, Gu Yuejiarong thought of the false twenty years spent in a dream, and people were still a little unable to recover. Xu Shanshan, who had been wearing Wangmei Skin, also returned to her original appearance. She waved her hand, and the white butterfly flew gracefully in the dark night, passing Gu Yue Jiarong's eyes, and his eyes lost their luster.
Ying Mei flew down, but was caught by Xu Shanshan's finger. The shining light, like a golden snake, formed the roof: "You said he was stubborn, why did you say that he was stubborn?" No? You become whatever he likes, but no matter what you become, you are still you, he is still him, do you understand? ”
The shadow charm was floating in the air, her clothes and eyes were red. She listened to Xu Shanshan's words, but she still didn't understand: "But am I not a part of you?"
"Although you were born from me, you have never Once you have self-awareness, you are Yingmei yourself."
After Yingmei listened, she murmured something, she is herself...
She is not Wang Mei. , not "Xu Chu", not Li Yue'e, not Shanshan and Funan, she is Yingmei herself.
However, in order to get a man, she actually gave up the "self" she had finally achieved and became someone else.
As if he suddenly woke up from his delirium, Ying Mei stopped attacking.
"I lost." She laughed miserably. When she chose to use Master Xu's identity and appearance to seduce Gu Yue Jiarong, the victory or defeat was already decided.
At that time, Master Xu also entered Ying Mei's dream. She knew it, but she didn't care.
Because even Master Xu has to obey her arrangements as long as he enters her dream.
Master Xu cannot choose his own identity, nor can he interfere with all her decisions, he can only follow her wishes.
When Master Xu was the king's matchmaker, he had to ensure that Gu Yue Jiarong and the three women she incarnated met and got married.
But she didn't expect that Gu Yue Jiarong didn't take a fancy to the three women with their own characteristics in her incarnation, but chose Matchmaker Wang.
Ying Mei thought that Gu Yue Jiarong liked this kind of tone, so she forcibly exchanged identities with Master Xu, and placed Master Xu in the identity of Gu Yue Jiarong, the seriously ill mother.
She thinks that in this way, Master Xu will never become the third party between them.
But she didn’t expect that after Gu Yuejiarong got married, she regarded her mother as more important than her own wife, and devoted herself to taking care of her mother with filial piety, so she erased the role of mother again.
After all obstacles disappeared, the two of them went from youth to middle age, from poverty to success. Ying Mei thought that as long as she stayed with him, she could always make him change his mind and fall in love with her.
But even if there was no one else, he still didn't like her.
But at the beginning, he clearly chose Wang Mei... No, he chose Master Xu who existed in Wang Mei's body, not her.
So Yingmei was cruel and gave up her identity as Wang Mei and became "Xu Chu". Everything started smoothly. Gu Yuejiarong was indeed shaken by her, but...
When the real "Xu Chu" appeared, even though the other person had turned into Wang Mei, whom Gu Yue Jiarong had not fallen in love with for more than 20 years, he still chose her.
Go through life and death with her.
She thought it was the love between husband and wife that had been accumulated for many years, but unexpectedly, he was induced to "peach blossom evil". At that moment, Ying Mei couldn't explain how she felt.
From being a Yinsha who was ignorant of instincts, to growing mentally for decades in a dream, she has become a "human", but she still doesn't understand emotions.
It was Master Xu, who woke up the dreamer with one word.
Yingmei bowed her head to Xu Shanshan: "I am willing to admit defeat. After becoming a human being, Yingmei realizes how short human life is. It seems like decades, but if you make a mistake in one thought, it is difficult to look back. , and it is difficult to return to the original self.”
This dream she weaved was her life. When she woke up from the dream, her figure gradually dissipated in the air, becoming thin and misty, disappearing with the wind.
"Yingmei, bid farewell to my lord."
Xu Shanshan looked at Yingmei who had spent his whole life seeking a result. He should have felt that he was extremely stupid, but he felt inexplicably deep in his heart. Give birth to a feeling.
One thing, Ying Mei is right about. She comes from a part of herself, an existence that cannot be completely separated. Even if she is separated and has a mind, there is always a part that is connected together.
Some of her emotions, regrets, relief and lust were given back to Xu Shanshan, but her heart was as hard as iron and the impact was minimal
After solving the problem of Ying Mei, Xu Shanshan will start to remove the "Peach Blossom Evil" from Gu Yue Jiarong.
She stretched out her hand to pull him closer. Gu Yuejiarong's dilated pupils refocused. His clear, dark eyes stared at her. The moment their skins touched, the "Peach Blossom Evil" began to attack as expected. She did.
The essence of "Peach Blossom Evil" is exclusivity. It is only loyal to the caster of the spell, and also requires the person who cast the spell to be absolutely loyal to the spell caster. Once he is attracted to another woman and moves away, then the "Peach Blossom Evil" will It will turn into a sharp weapon and cut off their marriage.
The result is that it causes endless disputes, and in the end, both death and injury are caused. This is a bad fate.
I was really tempted, but the target was her, which Xu Shanshan didn’t expect.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the problem can be solved and the bad debt between her and Gu Yue Jiarong can be settled.
“I’m offended, sir.”
She apologized to Gu Yuejiarong when he was awake. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the “Peach Blossom Evil” had to be seduced when the host was awake, she would be willing to do so. Completed the evil deeds without his knowledge.
“What?”
Gu Yuejiarong’s pupils had an ethereal look, as if they were trapped in a thin veil. He was at a loss.
It's really like a rabbit that was eaten stupidly.
Xu Shanshan said from the bottom of his heart.
She raised her head and pulled him down with one hand. When he was stunned, she pressed a kiss on his forehead and sealed it with a kiss. A light array spread out on the ground.
The strong wind blew up their clothes and hair. Light was flying around her, while black mist shrouded him.
Gu Yuejiarong suddenly raised his eyes. He bowed his body and looked at her level. Her eyes were like clear amber, as if sleeping somewhere in a frightening yet undisturbed valley. .
Her eyelashes were half-closed, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her fair skin, like a beautiful picture, which made people unable to bear to disturb this peaceful beauty.
The "Peach Blossom Evil" was completely aroused. The sky was full of peach blossom petals accompanied by a fierce atmosphere. It was clearly a gorgeous scene of peach blossoms in full bloom, but it contained some kind of cruel atmosphere.
"Not even close..."
Xu Shanshan stepped back a little and asked Gu Yue Jiarong: "Sir, I wonder where the most sensitive part of your body is?"
Gu Yuejiarong's face tightened and her lips turned pale: "What else do you want to do?"
"Just to add fuel to the fire." She leaned close to his ear, but her eyes were fixed on the falling "peach blossoms": "Everything is just to break the curse. Sir, be obedient and tell me."
