Chapter 448 Under the Starry Sky
The boy’s words evoked more memories of the girl.
She recited the name "Lu Shiyao" repeatedly in her heart, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.
At the same time, the titles of "beauty" and "talented girl" given to her by Gu Xu also made her feel a little embarrassed.
She lowered her head, not daring to look into Gu Xu's eyes for a moment.
"Young master, you praise me too much," she said in a voice like a mosquito's chirping. "The rumors outside are too exaggerated. Young master, please don't believe it easily——"
"——Look down." The young man interrupted. Her words.
Hearing his words, the girl obediently lowered her head and looked down.
In the water on the ground, she saw her own reflection - black hair like ink, white clothes better than snow, pale face, as if sick; under the starlight, she looked like a fairy in the fog, pure and beautiful, Don't stare.
"The quiet night is deep, the light is floating, the moon is cold and melting," Gu Xu recited softly, paused, and then continued, "As the saying goes, beauty is in the bones but not in the skin - the beauty in this house No matter how hard the monsters try, they can't imitate your radiance."
"Monsters?" The girl narrowed her eyes, as if she had guessed something.
“This house was originally your territory,” Gu Xu explained, “but those monsters and monsters broke in and took over what originally belonged to you. They even wanted to replace you and remove you from this world. "Erase it completely."
"Then...what should I do?" Gu Xu's words made the girl panic.
She really didn’t know how to fight against the evil spirits in the whole house on her own.
"You are the real master here. There is a powerful power in your soul that even you can't imagine." Gu Xu pointed at her chest, slowed down and said seriously, "As long as you When you really wake up, none of them will be your opponent.”
"Really woke up?" The girl was a little confused.
She is obviously awake at the moment, how could she wake up again?
Is it possible that she is actually in a dream now?
At this moment, the noise of the crowd suddenly came from not far away.
The two of them turned their heads and looked together.
I saw all the servants in the mansion - maids, coachmen, gardeners, cooks, etc., rushing towards them in a swarm.
They all have a face that is similar to a girl in appearance but not in spirit, and expressions that are as stiff and dull as if they were drawn with pen and ink.
In their hands, they all held riding whips, saws, kitchen knives, sewing needles and other tools, as if they wanted to cut them into pieces and eat them alive.
Seeing such a scene, the girl shivered instinctively.
She reached out to grab Gu Xu's sleeve, wanting to lead him into the house and escape.
But before she could take action, Gu Xu took a step forward and stood in front of her.
As he slowly raised his hand, the people in front of him - or rather, the demons and monsters - burned with blue flames, like the bright tail of a comet when it fell.
In the blink of an eye, all the monsters and monsters were wiped out.
The girl stood there blankly, unable to believe her eyes for a moment.
"Young Master is so amazing." She sighed from the bottom of her heart, even forgetting that her hand was still tightly holding Gu Xu's sleeve.
"Miss Lu is so complimentary," Gu Xu smiled faintly, and then pointed at the starry sky above his head with his other finger, "The range of this starry sky is about ten miles. Within these ten miles, any No one or any ghost is my opponent.
“But outside this range, it’s different.
“Any monster can push me to the ground and ravage me.”
“How?” The girl couldn’t understand. When Gu Xu suddenly appeared in front of her and rescued her from danger, she already regarded him as an omnipotent hero in her heart.
"I'm just a passer-by, I don't belong to this world," Gu Xu explained, "And this world is also rejecting me and trying every means to drive me out.
"The starry sky that supports it is already The limits of my abilities. "
"Don't leave. "Hearing Gu Xu's words, the girl said without thinking.
She could have endured the darkness, if she had never seen the light.
At this moment, she was no longer willing to imagine-if What a terrible scene it would be for Gu Xu to leave here and leave her alone among these monsters and monsters
Gu Xu smiled and did not directly respond to her request. Instead, he said: "While my Xingyuan Domain can still be maintained for a while, how about I tell you a story?"
"Yes. ." The girl nodded.
Actually, she doesn't care what the content of the story is.
As long as the boy's voice rings in her ears, her heart will be filled with a sense of security.
So, Gu Xu told her about the Lu family who were punished for treason, about the talented and beautiful Miss Lu who unfortunately turned into a ghost, and about going to the haunted house. The young official of the Exorcism Department who was on a mission, and his experience of being wanted by the court and forced to flee to Yishan...
The girl listened to his story carefully, feeling that the memories in her mind became clearer and clearer.
When Gu Xu talked about the unconscious Snow Girl, using the Jinghong Pen to share her senses with the fleeing boy, her heartstrings were inadvertently touched, and a few tears welled up in her eyes. Under the shining of the stars, It is more transparent and dazzling than pearls.
"It turns out that I am no longer a human being..." She sighed softly involuntarily.
“You became a ghost not because of your original intention,” Gu Xu said. “In my opinion, you are more like a real person than many people in this world.”
"Do you really think so?" The girl raised her head slightly and looked into Gu Xu's eyes.
"A noble soul is not never stained by dust," Gu Xu said with a smile, "but it is that it can still remain pure and transparent after going through hardships."
While he was speaking, the girl noticed that his body The shape gradually faded and became translucent, as if it had turned into a wisp of smoke and could disappear in front of her at any time.
And the starry sky above her head gradually became dim.
Indistinctly, she heard the roar of the violent storm again.
"I have to go," Gu Xu continued after a brief silence, "My 'Xingyuan' can't last too long. To deal with the monsters here, you still have to rely on yourself. .”
"Don't leave." The girl grabbed his sleeve and said again. Her eyes were like autumn water, filled with endless worries.
"I'm sorry, Lu Shiyao," he called her name at the moment when Gu Xu's figure was about to disappear, "my power is really limited. Only you can truly get us out of the predicament in front of us. .
“I will wait for you in the outside world. ”
The outside world?
Is it outside this house?
And what does he mean by "waking up"?
The girl looked at the place where Gu Xu's figure disappeared, looking in a daze.
The next second, the starry sky above our heads was lost in thick black clouds.
Accompanied by rolling thunder, heavy rain fell.
