Strange Tales of the Ghosts

"Yeah." Kuroshinoko didn't care at all about what the man ordered. She was just curious, so she asked softly: "What's your name?"

"Liu Tong, what about you?" When the man smiled, he showed eight teeth.

After the food was served, the two of them chatted while eating. After a long time, they left the food stall. Everything happened very naturally. Kuroshiko took the man back to her home in the world. During the process, she controlled it very well. He didn't hurt the man in the slightest with his demonic energy, not for anything else but because the man looked too similar to Hu Xiaoyao.

After a night of love, we always have to say goodbye at dawn, but this time it was not the man who left the woman, but Hei Xiaozi who left Liu Tong in advance, not for anything else but the pink pearl secreted by the river oyster.

In fact, last night, Kuroshiko had already discovered a pink light in the eastern sky. It was the spiritual light emitted by the pearls of the river oyster, so Kuroshiko guessed that the monster must be in that direction. . So she left her residence before dawn and rushed over there. When she got there, the light was weak and the monster was addicted to sucking the spiritual power in the pearl. She didn't find Kuroshiko. When he saw Kuroshino When he was young, Kuroshioko's spider silk had already tied him tightly.

"Do you like stealing other people's things?" Kuroshinoko asked coldly, inserting his hand into the monster's body and planting his own poison.

The monster struggled, but to no avail, all because he was not as good as Kuro Shinoko, so he tried to show his strength: "If you have the ability, let me go."

"Let you go? Don't think about it." Kuro Shinoko took back her hand and looked at the monster with a sinister smile. The monster's body was changing little by little. After the smoothness of its face receded, it looked bumpy and its belly became bulging. , Kuroshinoko laughed loudly. "Whoever I thought was so capable was just a toad spirit who wanted to rely on others to practice cultivation and reach the sky."

The toad spirit's belly bulged, making an unpleasant sound, and spurted out a stream of sewage from the back of its buttocks, shooting towards Hei Xiaozi. Hei Xiaozi dodged it with a slight dodge. When the toad spirit saw this, He started to cheat: "So what? I have absorbed half of the river clam spirit's spiritual power, and I can't spit it out even if I want to."

"That's true." Hei Xiaozi nodded, and after thinking about it seriously, he looked at the toad spirit on the ground with a smile. "But I have an idea."

"What can I do?" Toad Spirit could already feel the murderous aura in Hei Xiaozi's eyes, so he was a little nervous.

Black Xiaozi did not disappoint the toad spirit and replied: "Wouldn't it be better to kill you and refine the elixir? I can still gain hundreds of years of practice in vain."

"No...no..." Hearing that he was about to die, the toad spirit struggled desperately to break free of the shackles of the spider silk, and jumped into the nearby water.

Hei Xiaozi looked at the dirty water and really didn't want to dirty her body, but she would not let the toad spirit go, so she jumped and dived into the water. The toad spirit probably didn't know that Hei Xiaozi was not afraid of water. , so he stayed there like a fool and was captured by Kuroshinoko. After landing on the shore, Kuroshioko held the toad in his hand and squeezed it so hard that it became speechless. At this time, Kuroshioko picked up the pink pearls that fell on the ground, turned into black smoke, and flew back to the mountains.

By the stream in the deep mountains, Kuro Shinoko took out the pink pearl. After unlocking the defense in the water, he threw the pearl down. After a while, the water began to bubble gurglingly, and a jade-like woman appeared in the water. Now alive again, the River Clam Spirit looked at his body that had transformed into a human form and said happily: "It's all thanks to you this time that I can recover and practice."

"..." Hei Xiaozi shook her head. She knew that the river clam spirit had not noticed that the pearl's spiritual power was much less, so she took out the toad spirit and reminded: "Don't be happy yet, this toad has sucked half of your spiritual power. Just find a way to make up for it.”

"It's him..." River Clam Spirit recognized the toad as soon as she saw it. Hundreds of years ago, she had a grudge with this toad, but at that time River Clam Spirit was kind and let Toad Spirit go. She didn't expect this. A toad actually came to steal my pearls when I was at my weakest.

Kuroshinoko didn't know the story and asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"

"Of course I do." The Toad Spirit spoke again, sounding very angry. "If it weren't for her, this river oyster, I would have married a beautiful wife long ago."

The river toad spirit nodded, acquiescing to the toad spirit's statement, looking at Hei Xiaozi and said: "This toad spirit once fell in love with a girl in the world, but that girl already had a sweetheart, so she didn't want to live or die. I saw him forcing that girl Girl, she fought him off."

"Hmph, Lai Toad wants to eat swan meat!" Hei Xiaozi squeezed it hard, and the toad screamed again in pain.

The Clam Spirit looked at the toad and sighed: "It's all a matter of injustice, let him go."

"What? Let him go?!" Hei Xiaozi couldn't believe that River Clam Jing could give up his five hundred years of cultivation.

The River Clam Spirit nodded and said disheartenedly: "I have nothing to worry about now, so what's the use of this cultivation? Becoming an immortal is just lonely, it's better to be a fairy in this deep mountain."

"No!" Hei Xiaozi firmly opposed the idea of ​​the river clam spirit. She didn't want the toad spirit to get an advantage, so she squeezed the toad spirit with all her strength and crushed the toad spirit to death in her hands.

Looking at the body of the Toad Spirit, the River Clam Spirit shook his head: "Xiaozi, we have done too much evil. Even if we are monsters, we cannot escape retribution. Why are you doing this? Haven't you ever thought..."

"What are you thinking? When I didn't do evil before, how could God give me good retribution? I was born as a black widow, and I want to kill my beloved wife, retribution? Huh, what retribution!" Kuroshioko couldn't help but think of it. Hu Xiaoyao's death made her not believe in retribution. She thought it was God's injustice. It was this unfair existence that made her lose everything.

The river clam shook his head. He wanted to say something but found it hard to say. He thought for a long time before he said: "Actually, there is one thing.

I hid it from you for a long time. "

"..." Hei Xiaozi's words shocked Hei Xiaozi. They had talked about everything during the hundreds of years of companionship, but now He Bengjing said that she was hiding something from her, leaving her unaware of what was going on.

The River Clam Spirit walked out of the water, glanced at Hei Xiaozi, and asked softly: "Do you still remember the death of your mother?"

"...I admit that my mother's death was caused by me, but this has nothing to do with retribution!" This is what Kuroshiko can think of. She used to hate the river clam spirit, but when she thinks about it carefully, this has nothing to do with herself. It has a big connection. If she hadn't made a wrong decision and meddle in her own business, her mother would not have died. That's why she could become friends with the River Clam Spirit and have been together all these years.

The river clam shook his head and sighed: "That's not what I'm talking about."

"What do you mean?"

"To this day, I might as well tell you that before your mother died, she was afraid that she would not be able to see you for the last time. She asked me to tell you something. At that time, because I was annoyed that you killed my husband, I didn't say anything."

"What's up?"

"It has something to do with your husband-in-law."

"Xiaoyao..." Hu Xiaoyao's appearance appeared in Hei Xiaozi's mind, and he thought of the person he met in the human world who looked exactly like Hu Xiaoyao. "Is Xiaoyao not dead?"

"Dead." The river clam replied softly, fearing to make Hei Xiaozi sad, so she quickly said: "After your husband-in-law died, his fourth uncle picked up his body and did not put it in the ground, but used spiritual power to maintain it. , by coincidence, the child transformed from your husband’s essence and blood also died. Your mother thought more about it at that time and took the fetus in your belly back to the mountains and gave it to your father-in-law’s fourth uncle. The Tao is so profound that after transforming the two souls into one, they created another living being and let it join the human world."

"..." Kuroshinoko always believed that her husband-in-law was dead, soulless, so she never thought about this issue, but deliberately avoided it. She didn't expect to hear such news today. "You mean that my husband-in-law has been reincarnated as a human?"

"According to your mother, it should be like this. Hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know how many lives your husband-in-law has been in, but he is indeed still alive." When the River Clam Spirit looked back at Hei Xiaozi, Hei Xiaozi's face was filled with tears. With tears.

River Clam Spirit wiped away Hei Xiaozi's tears and said with a smile: "So, you can't do evil anymore, even if it's for your husband-in-law. He loves you so much and gave up everything for you. If he reincarnates and goes to the underworld, the King of Hell will When you talk about his relationship with you and ask him if he is willing to help you repay it, what does he say? Doesn’t it mean that you want him to die for you again? "

"No...I don't want..." Hei Xiaozi couldn't imagine that what appeared in front of her was the death of Heiji. It was Heiji who was helping her pay off her debts. There was also the death of Hu Xiaoyao, plus what He Clam Jing said, it was all in her mind. Pictures were circulating in her mind, and she couldn't accept the thought of it actually happening.

River Clam Spirit knew that Hei Xiaozi didn't actually want that, and also knew that Hei Xiaozi would definitely look for her husband after he knew he was reincarnated, so he had no choice but to advise: "If you want him to live well, don't look for him anymore, let him Forget about you and live happily in the world."

"…Why?"

“It’s only now that I understand that without our presence, maybe the people we love will live a good life in this world. We must not be like me, unwilling to be lonely, sinking into the world, and disturbing the clear dreams of mortals. "He Cun Jing recalled that his life was a tragedy. He loved someone, wanted to protect someone, but ended up harming someone.

Black Xiaozi knew that the river clam spirit was as sad as herself, so she asked with tears in her eyes: "Don't we monsters have the right to love someone?"

"Love... you can keep it in your heart and not say it out loud..." Tears flowed from River Clam Spirit's eyes.

The two of them shed tears quietly, only the toad died without any value...

Deep in the mountains, day after day, months passed, and Black Xiaozi took advantage of the river clam spirit's absence to sneak out.

After returning to the human world, only a few years had passed, but the house she bought was still there. Kuroshinoko originally thought that she was gone and the house must be covered with dust. But when she opened the door, she could only doubt that she had entered. Wrong, because the room was clean and tidy, as if it had been tidied yesterday, which made her not sure how to react.

At this time, a man with a haggard face and a shaggy beard appeared behind her. After seeing Kuroshinoko, he froze there like Kuroshiko. He didn't speak until he was sure that the person in front of him was the person he wanted to see. Said: "Are you back?"

"..." Hei Xiaozi seemed to have heard this voice before. Hei Xiaozi turned around slowly and didn't know whether it was Hu Xiaoyao or Liu Tong that he saw, because the man's eyes showed deep affection.

The man carried the things and said with tears: "After you left, I waited for you at home for a day, but you didn't come back. I thought you must have something to do, so I continued to wait for you at home until you left for a week. I just assigned the key myself when I came back. I know I may not respect you very much, but I don't want you to see the room in a mess when you come back, so..." Kuroshinoko cried and threw herself before the man could finish. He stepped forward and hugged the man.

The two people kissed deeply and hugged each other so tightly, it was like if they let go, this person would disappear in front of them...
