long night walk

Chen Xiaolan was born as a country girl, and her sewing skills are top-notch. She can mend such broken pieces of meat neatly, and the stitches are also neat and intact.

Mencius watched in a daze, and suddenly lost his mind.

What a strange man.

In the past, Chen Xiaolan was taught that she was a child of an ordinary family.

Now it seems that even a mentally tough practitioner can't do the dirty and bloody things.

But she was able to grit her teeth, bite the bullet, and do it slowly, it was really not easy.

The wind and snow are whistling outside the cave, and this natural snow-karst cave has no roof to cover the wind and snow. Occasionally, fine snowflakes pass through the sparse branches and dead leaves between the cave roofs, melting the cold moonlight and falling down.

Mencius found himself placed in a dark place, despite the unbearable pain in his body.

But after surviving the most difficult time period, the festering and decomposing flesh on his body was mended, and it did not continue to wither and fall.

He suddenly coughed lightly.

Chen Xiaolan at the other end was obviously frightened when she heard the movement, her shoulders shrank severely, and she could clearly see her childish trembling violently on a small face that slowly turned around.

Mencius watched her frightened expression with great interest.

This kind of demeanor is in line with the performance of a normal person, but she was afraid of becoming like this, so she didn't abandon him and leave alone.

Although naive, but also left some cleverness.

Meng Zifei looked at the right leg she was holding in his hand, couldn't help smiling, and said:
"You are smart enough to know to leave my leg and sew my arms into your body first.

In this way, even if I wake up, if I really want to kill you, it won't be so convenient. "

Chen Xiaolan hid her right leg behind her back in fear, and looked at Meng Zifei warily.

Mencius moved his body with difficulty, and found that most of the flesh that had fallen from his body had returned, and his body was covered with mended wounds.

He looked at her deeply and calmly, with deep contemplative emotions in his eyes:

"There are so many hungry wolves on the mountain that ate my flesh and blood. If I hadn't slaughtered the wolves one by one and discarded their stomachs for meat, I'm afraid I would be a mutilated body right now."

Chen Xiaolan pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

Mencius sighed, and said again: "You don't even dare to kill a chicken on weekdays, how dare you be so crazy today?
Why, facing this pair of rotten meats, you are not afraid at all? "

How could it be possible not to be afraid, looking at Chen Xiaolan who might faint from fright at any moment.

Mencius could have imagined everything from killing wolves, disemboweling, taking meat, picking bones, sewing tonight...

What kind of emotional breakdown she experienced in every process.

I'm afraid it will become a nightmare that she will never forget in her whole life.

The girl who was always chattering in his ear on weekdays could not speak a single word when faced with his question today.

Although he didn't escape, he still looked miserable with half of his soul lost.

For some reason, seeing Chen Xiaolan like this, he didn't hate it, but he felt a little distressed for no reason.

It was the first time Mencius felt such strange and confused emotions.

"Okay, okay..." Meng Zifei finally compromised.

His shoulders trembled slightly, and he heard two 'kaka' sounds, spewing out his spiritual energy. …

It actually broke his two arms and collapsed them.

He smiled brightly and gently, and his voice was so clear that no hint of pain could be heard:
"Okay, now I don't have the ability to hurt you, Xiaolan don't have to be afraid, come talk to me?"

Chen Xiaolan was stunned by his sudden act of self-mutilation.

Looking at his smiling face is the same as before, but his scalp is unstoppably numb.

At the beginning, he was deceived by his appearance of a kind and gentle gentleman, but he actually worshiped this kind of person as his teacher.

It was too late to repent in her heart, looking at Meng Zifei's friendly and familiar face, Chen Xiaolan looked sad, and finally couldn't help asking:
"What the hell are you...?"

Mencius seemed to have expected her to ask such a question, and said with a smile: "I am a human being, there is no doubt about it, and I am just like you, a mortal who was born ordinary and has no spiritual aptitude."

Chen Xiaolan didn't expect him to say that, her eyes widened in disbelief:
"You said you are a mortal like me?! But you clearly..."

"You can practice, can you?"

Meng Zifei interrupted her with a warm smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and his dark and deep eyes could hardly distinguish the night.

He stared fixedly at Chen Xiaolan, his voice was hoarse, and half of his cheeks were a little far-reaching as the bonfire flickered.

"I can't practice at all, I was born as a mortal, although I have a lot of money, I have outstanding talents and learning, and I have become famous at a young age.

But from the day I was born, it was doomed that what I should do in this life is at most only a hundred years away.

I have a cousin whom I have known since I was young, named Shang Ying.

The luck of the businessman is extraordinary. A pair of brothers and sisters were born one after another. Both of them have hidden spiritual roots.

I was unwilling to be ordinary, and my heart was tempted. I secretly colluded with Zheng Siyan, the young master of Taiyuan, the ghost gate, and designed to frame the Baili Cangjian, the young master of Tianxi Sword Sect.

I even did not hesitate to use bitter tricks to trick my cousin at home, and through her love for me, I tricked her into sending her spiritual roots away, so that I can find the way to the great way. "

Speaking of this, Mencius's tone was extraordinarily calm, and his sparkling eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist:
"Although I prolong my lifespan and maintain my youth, but flying with a sword, drawing talismans and catching monsters, I have achieved the life I was looking forward to.

But God is fair, I obtained a spiritual root that does not belong to me by despicable means, so I should bear this inhuman torment of karma curse. "

Chen Xiaolan didn't know that Mencius Fei had such a dark and embarrassing past, but seeing Mencius telling the truth so calmly, the fear and fear in her heart could not help but relax a little.

She looked at Meng Zifei with a complicated expression, "So you will retreat on your own for seven days a month. After you leave the retreat, you will become very weak, and you will be tortured by this curse."

Sure enough, she already knew.

Mencius took a deep look at her, and couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, laughing at himself for being smart but being wise.

He has a narrow mind and is always on the alert. He has to carefully analyze and analyze every word of the people closest to him.

If Chen Xiaolan really had other thoughts, wouldn't it be so stupid to step on the minefield and speak out?
Thinking about it this way, the catastrophe tonight was really his own asking for it. …

"If you get something that doesn't belong to you, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price. The pain of deboning and cutting flesh every month lasts for seven consecutive days.

At the beginning, I couldn't control it, so I could only hide in the dark and uninhabited place and endure it silently, as my cultivation level gradually increased..."

Speaking of this, Mencius paused for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiaolan, seeing that she was listening to him telling the past, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Now that things have happened, why should I continue to lie to you with unnecessary lies? To be honest, the pain of this curse is so painful that it almost drives me crazy.

I have always loved cleanliness, and I can't bear to watch my skin fester and rot every month, with a stench all over my body, disgusting like a piece of rotten meat in a ditch.

Day after day of inhuman torture, even though I am full of gentleman's etiquette and human ethics, my heart has long been distorted into an inhuman thing.

Right inside the bronze gate, I gave up my sword and whisk, and since then I have entered the way of magic, which can be regarded as a formal cooperation with that magic river.

Later, I got his help and knew how to suppress this curse, as long as I avoided the moonlight and starlight when it broke out every month.

Although the pain is still there, it won't be full of filthy flesh, and it is more decent after all. "

Chen Xiaolan was no stranger to the name Mohe Buried Heart, she stood up suddenly, the anger in her eyes instantly overwhelmed the fear, and she asked sharply:

"You actually cooperate with Mohe Zunxin? Do you know that the chief culprit of the chaos in the mountain was this Zunxin!

In the devil world, he is against Mr. Sichen everywhere!It nearly cost him his life.Such a villain!How can you be with it? "

Faced with her rebuke, Mencius smiled instead of anger, "If you were me and encountered such a desperate thing, it doesn't matter if he is a fairy or a devil, as long as he can save me, what's the point?"

"You!" Chen Xiaolan panicked and stomped her feet: "I shouldn't have saved you!"

Mencius said nonchalantly: "My sword is still with you, if Xiaolan regrets it now, it is not too late to draw the sword and cut off my head."

Chen Xiaolan was at a loss for words and could only stare at him bitterly.

Meng Zifei said again: "But I know, you can't do it, even if you can't even leave me alone, how can you kill me yourself?"

Chen Xiaolan sat down again dejectedly, looking at the faintly jumping bonfire with a dazed look, with a bewildered expression.

"So at that time, you wanted to kill me like that, because you felt that I discovered your secret scandal, and told others that after hearing it...

Unexpectedly, Mencius shook his head and said: "Since I have devoted myself to the way of the devil, it doesn't make much sense to me whether the righteous way of the world can tolerate me.

At most, it will not be so convenient for traveling and walking in the future, I just..."

His eyes were low-pitched, and he seemed a little cold for no reason, "I don't want others to know that I, Meng Zifei, will turn into that half-human and ghost-like appearance every month."

"Just because of this kind of thing, you are going to kill me?!" Chen Xiaolan was so anxious that it was unbelievable.

Mencius laughed softly, his eyes flickered, and there seemed to be strands of soft light in his eyes:
"Now I'm telling you this, naturally because you can know, Xiaolan, I won't kill you again."

His tone was calm, but there was a strong meaning: "Trust me."...

He didn't want others to see his ugly appearance.

I couldn't bear the eyes of those people who looked at poor maggots when they saw their flesh pieces falling, their bodies rotting, and rolling all over the ground in pain.

He, Mencius, was not born ordinary, but he was also proud.

He couldn't even accept that he was mediocre, let alone let others look at him as corrupt and ugly.

However, for the first time in his life, when the curse broke out, he was seen by a second person.

What's more, he didn't expect that the girl who was almost killed by him just a moment ago would feel disgusted and fearful after seeing his ugly appearance.

He accepted all of this as a matter of course, and picked up the fragmented him bit by bit.

If the woman here at the moment was Shang Ying, Mencius firmly believed that she might also be able to not abandon him.

It can even protect him more carefully and meticulously, without showing the slightest disgust.

Because he knows that Shang Ying loves him deeply, even if he knows that he is in a bad mood and has a wrong mind, he can completely accept him as a person.

But so what, in the name of love, it is a matter of course to accept him who is covered in filth... It makes me sick to think about it.

He has done all kinds of bad things, and he has never needed such a warm and bright redemption.

But Chen Xiaolan was different. In her eyes, Meng Zifei couldn't see any normal woman's love for a man.

Because she doesn't love her, this 'acceptance', which is different from Shang Ying's, seems rare and precious.

So much so that even when she saw herself in a state of embarrassment, she inadvertently showed pity for him, the expected expression of disgust and disgust.

This made Mencius feel that even so, it was not as unacceptable as he imagined.

There's even... a vague sense of joy.

Such joyful emotions made him feel that if it was the person in front of him, he would like to let her see all of him slowly.

It was a dark, gloomy, weird, selfish, cold and unknown side that even Shang Ying had never seen before.

Follow the temptation carefully, and slowly shed her clear and polite skin.

Chen Xiaolan's mind was pure, kind and innocent, she didn't notice the slightest undercurrent under Meng Zifei's hidden gaze, she just felt extremely tired in her heart:
"So many things have happened, how do you want me to believe you?"

Hearing what she meant, it meant that she wanted to leave. Mencius Fei's burning bright eyes dimmed suddenly: "Is Xiaolan going to leave me?"

He raised his head and looked at her blankly: "Just because I chose the way of magic in order to survive?"

Chen Xiaolan frowned and said, "I'm just a mortal woman, whether it's a demon or a fairy doesn't matter to me, what matters is how you choose in your heart.

Just like Mr. Sichen, he was born in the dark, but he was born facing the sun.

He eats fresh blood, is afraid of the sun, and is a corpse demon, but in Xiaolan's heart, there is no one in the world who is better and kinder than him.

Distinguishing right from wrong is never a distinction between good and evil, it is prejudice. "

She took a deep breath, and couldn't bear it anymore, and every sentence was full of anger:

"It's wrong for you to hurt the one who loves you for your own selfishness!  …

For the sake of your decency, it is also wrong to kill me because I have not said a word!
This has never had anything to do with whether you choose the magic way or not! "

Mencius murmured, "So you..."

The tears in Chen Xiaolan's eyes couldn't stop streaming down: "No one is a sage, but every person will go wrong, and they will have emotions and desires.

Will be jealous, resentful, angry, unwilling, unbearable!
Meng Zifei, right now, let me ask you a question..."

"Meng Zifei, have you ever committed any crimes?

Did you participate in the catastrophe in the mountains?

Did you lure those people here on purpose?

Have you ever planned to frame Mr. Sichen? "

Mencius squinted his eyes for a long time, then slowly opened them, and said in a low voice, "I, Mencius, have never committed any crimes."

Chen Xiaolan's eyes were deep for a moment, and then the confusion, anger and horror in her eyes slowly faded away.

She let out a breath of turbid air slowly, and the energy she forcibly pulled up finally reached the limit, and the sword in her hand also fell to the ground.

Chen Xiaolan walked over, put his right leg on the cut, and let it heal slowly.

"So, I will trust you again, I hope you will not let me down, Master..."

Mencius watched his right leg gradually healed and repaired, a shadow fell from his heavy eyelashes, and he hummed softly.

No one saw that his fingers hidden under his sleeves were pointlessly fingering the snowstones on the ground.

The fingernails were overturned by the cold and sharp snowstone scarlet, and the fingernails were covered in a lake of flesh and blood, but he didn't notice it.
