It was like a ridiculous nightmare.
When Mo Xi woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in the small inn in Lotus Town.
The small window was half open and the light shone in. The balsamine flowers in the clay vase were soaked in a soft golden light and dust was floating in the light.
His eyes were still a little unfocused at first, but at a certain point, he suddenly focused and sat up on the bed. Last night's scenes rushed through his mind like a flood. His memory was scattered and fragmented. He couldn't remember what happened after he was possessed, but he had a general impression of it. He suddenly had a splitting headache. He raised his hand to support his throbbing forehead, but found that his hand was wrapped in gauze and his dislocated finger had been fixed back to its original position.
Mo Xi stared at his palm in a daze. Last night, someone seemed to have come in.
It was a man, and …
He remembered the "kiss" that couldn't be considered a kiss and his body suddenly froze. Memories surfaced little by little and the color of blood faded little by little. At this moment, the door of the guest room creaked. Mo Xi suddenly raised his head and looked at the other person with his eyes that were still red and sharp like a sword!
"You —"
The person who came in was indeed the young man who appeared last night. Although Mo Xi didn't see his face clearly, he had a general feeling and couldn't be wrong.
Mo Xi's expression was extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "You're … you're actually …"
"Ah, yes, I'm Gu Mang. But I'm not Gu Mang's senior sister, but Gu Mang's senior brother. You seem to have sensed it. " The young man glanced at him and closed the door with a bitter smile. Then he walked to Mo Xi's bed and touched Mo Xi's forehead. Mo Xi instinctively wanted to dodge, but because of anger, not only did he not dodge, but he also blacked out and almost fainted again.
Mo Xi was very angry. After panting for a while, he stretched out his hand that was wrapped like a bear's paw and slapped Gu Mang away.
He choked on a mouthful of anger in his chest, almost forcing him to vomit blood. This guy with the surname Gu, he could obviously fight, but he acted shamelessly and said that he had no ability. He was obviously a man, but he never confessed to him along the way. Instead, he teased him in every possible way, and even …
"Cough cough cough!!" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Without saying anything, he turned to the side and coughed violently.
"You just woke up, and your body hasn't recovered yet. If you want to scold me, you'd better wait until you're better."
"Get out …"
"I'm here to apologize to you. I think you didn't hear me yesterday …"
It would have been better if Gu Mang hadn't mentioned yesterday, but the moment he did, Mo Xi's coughing became even worse. His pale face was flushed red with shame and anger, and his sharp eyes stared at the culprit with hatred. His gritting of his teeth was clearly reflected on his handsome face.
Gu Mang noticed his expression and suddenly shut his mouth.
After a while, this stinking hooligan blushed in a rare moment and muttered, "I'm really sorry …"
Mo Xi originally wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly focused on Gu Mang's lips. This Senior Brother Gu's lips were broken, and it was broken in a very sorry state. It was obvious that he had been bitten by something.
Thinking about yesterday, that "something" could only be himself.
Thinking of this, Mo Xi's face turned even paler.
He suddenly lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly. After a long time, he finally asked without raising his head, "I didn't do it on purpose."
Mo Que was silent for a while before he suddenly raised his eyes. The light in his black eyes flickered uncertainly, like the dust in the light pillar of the window.
He steeled his heart and said, "It happened yesterday."
Gu Mang, "…"
"I didn't do it on purpose."
Gu Mang also felt extremely embarrassed, but he didn't want to admit his embarrassment, so he laughed and pretended to be carefree, "Ah, of course you didn't do it on purpose. And what you did wasn't a kiss, it was a bite. You just happened to bite my lips. Family is not like that. I've kissed many girls, you have to believe me on this. "
Mo Xi didn't answer, but just looked at him.
Gu Mang laughed dryly, "What's more, we're both men. If we kissed, then so be it. No one is taking advantage of the other."
As he spoke, he hesitantly glanced at Mo Xi, whose face was very pale, and carefully tried to negotiate.
"How about you rinse your mouth?"
Mo Xi still didn't answer, and the two of them were silent for a while. Finally, Mo Xi decided to be kind and mercifully end this topic that was actually humiliating to him.
"What about that ghost?" He asked, "Did you catch him?"
"I did. I directly used a spell to lure him out of your body and trapped him in a wooden puppet."
"Take him out, I'll interrogate him."
"Now?" Gu Mang's eyes widened. "It's best if you don't do it now. You've been possessed by a malicious spirit, and you've fought with him for so long. Although you're a pure-blooded and your life isn't in danger, I checked your pulse yesterday. Your vitality has been damaged, so you should rest first. What's more, even if you ask him now, he won't be able to answer you. "
"Why?"
"Of course it's because of you. You didn't want to be invaded by him yesterday, so your consciousness suffered a great backlash. He didn't even know when he was in your body, but after he left your body, his soul scattered. I'm afraid he won't be able to reform until tomorrow morning. " Gu Mang sighed, "You're really amazing. After being possessed by him, you could still hold on for so long and didn't even touch a girl."
Mo Xi glanced at him coldly.
Gu Mang sat down beside his bed, and said, "Sigh … But I'm really sorry. I didn't tell you my true identity on the way here, and even caused you to suffer so much to save me. If it weren't for your strong willpower, I would have gotten into trouble. "
"Even if you say that, I won't plead with the Elder for you."
Gu Mang was startled, then smiled. He extended his hand to Mo Xi, "Not only do you not need to plead with the Elder, you can also hit me as much as you want. I won't fight back."
Mo Xi looked at him indifferently, as if he was really going to hit him.
Gu Mang immediately screamed shamelessly, "Ah! It hurts! "
"…" But the truth was that Mo Xi's hand hadn't even landed. He raised his bandaged hand and said expressionlessly, "I haven't hit you yet."
Gu Mang, "… Oh."
Waking up was one thing, but Mo Xi's body was indeed affected by the evil energy and was greatly damaged. Gu Mang sat beside him for a while. He didn't say much to him, but he could tell that Mo Xi's mental state was starting to deteriorate again. His cold face looked even more haggard under the dim sunlight.
Gu Mang got up and said, "Sleep for a while. I won't disturb you."
Mo Xi closed his eyes. His thin lips were slightly pursed under his handsome nose, and he didn't answer immediately. After a while, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he asked in a mocking tone, "You're not the delicate Senior Gu anymore?"
Gu Mang touched his nose awkwardly, coughed, and said, "There's only the mighty and handsome Senior Gu now."
"Senior Gu, you can see that I'm not necessarily handsome or mighty."
"Okay, okay, okay. Whatever you say is right." Gu Mang smiled helplessly. "Go to sleep."
He looked at him with eyes as dark as the deep sea.
"Have a good rest."
Mo Xi didn't say anything else. Gu Mang blinked. After a while, he leaned over to take a closer look, and found that Mo Xi had already fallen asleep. He was still leaning against the back of the bed. His cheeks were slanted to one side, and his eyelashes trembled slightly with his breathing. His face was still very young. Although he was very mature compared to his peers, the lines of his jawline still had the gentleness of a youth.
Gu Mang's gaze moved down slightly, landing on Mo Xi's lips. He paused for a moment, and then quickly moved away.
This young master looked so noble at this moment. Gu Mang couldn't reconcile him with the person who lost his mind last night. He also couldn't see the passion, ruthlessness, or even a little tyrannical in this person last night.
His lips were so thin, and gave off a sense of abstinence, but he didn't expect it to feel like …
Stop. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
Gu Mang raised his hand and subconsciously wiped his lips that he had wiped many times before. He got up and helped Mo Xi to lie down on the bed. He covered him with a thin blanket, and then gently closed the moon-white canopy.
"Black Tortoise Defense Array."
"Howling Barrier."
"Dream Companion."
Gu Mang only came out of the guest room after making three hand seals. There was no one in the corridor. He took out a puppet carved out of paulownia wood from his Qiankun bag. The puppet was only the size of his palm, and the workmanship was rough. One of its eyes was bigger than the other, and the other was smaller. Even its mouth was crooked. At first, the puppet lay in Gu Mang's palm, motionless. However, when Gu Mang untied the red rope around its neck, it suddenly got up, rubbed its eyes, and screamed:
"You, you, you! You evil creature! Crossdressing bastard! Hurry up and let me out of this broken puppet!! Otherwise, I'll, I'll — "
It turned out that this puppet was none other than the one that sealed Old Cucumber Ghost's primordial spirit.
"What are you going to do?" Gu Mang put it on the window in the corridor and snorted, "Are you going to jump off the building to commit suicide, or are you going to commit murder and arson?"
"Ah!!" Old Cucumber Ghost — or perhaps it should be called Little Puppet now. The little puppet was so angry that it screamed at the sky and fell on its butt next to the window.
"You're cunning and vicious. Junior Brother Mo is new to the jianghu and has no experience, so he fell into your trap. However, you'd better not do that in front of me. Otherwise, do you really think that we, the people from the Cultivation School, can't deal with an evil ghost like you? "
Little Doll Man kicked his short legs and shouted, "No! You're bullying the weak. You're not a gentleman! "
Unexpectedly, Gu Mang was completely shameless. He pretended to be surprised and said: "You're right. I'm not a gentleman. I'm a hooligan. How did you know?"
"Then do you know what this hooligan is going to do next? If you don't know, I can tell you secretly. " Gu Mang crossed his arms and stared at it. "I'm going to lock you up on the eighteenth floor of the Demon Subduing Pagoda. There are countless vengeful spirits and wild ghosts gathered there, and each of them is highly skilled. If you're there, your three spiritual and six physical souls will be eaten clean. You've done evil for many years, and it's a good time to take revenge for those unlucky couples."
Little Puppet was still stubborn: "How have I done evil? Little Daoist, haven't you heard that people call me the Earth God who gives children? "
"You still dare to say that?"
"Giving a child to someone is better than building a seven-floor pagoda. I — Ow ow ow!!" Before it could finish, Little Puppet was lifted up by Gu Mang.
Gu Mang narrowed his eyes and said: "I'm not joking with you. I'm serious."
Little Puppet finally started to panic and shouted: "Don't, don't! Little brother, good Daoist priest, great beauty, let's talk nicely! The eighteenth floor of that whatever pagoda is filled with big shots, and I'm just a little ghost. Why don't we change to another floor? What do you think of this floor? "
"No problem. The first floor is for the Ancient Demonic Beast. I think it's lonely on this floor alone. It's rare for you to take the initiative to accompany it. "
"Ah ah ah ah! No, no! Then let's go to the second floor. Is the second floor okay, big brother? "
"Are you trying to bargain with me?"
"Yes, yes, yes, little brother, good Daoist priest, great beauty, please give me a way out. I don't want to turn into ashes! You see, when you were pretending to be a girl, I praised you sincerely, didn't I? "
"Then I really have to thank you."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Gu Mang threw him back to the window and suddenly said sternly: "I'm going to ask you a few questions, you have to answer honestly. If there's a lie, you can choose between the eighteenth floor and the first floor."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"First question, a young couple went missing a month ago in the capital of Chong Hua. Before they went missing, they came to Lotus Town to pray for children. Have you seen them?"
The little puppet man felt wronged: "I see so many pilgrims every day, how could I remember …"
"Think about it carefully. Under your normal possession, those who have no spiritual power usually die because their internal organs are damaged by Yin Qi. It gives people the illusion that the father's life is exchanged for the child's life. But that couple was not in such a situation. They went missing together after coming here to pray for blessings. If this was done by you, you should have an impression. "
The puppet man shook his head like a rattle-drum: "Little brother, good Daoist priest, great beauty, as you can see, I'm a lecher. I only like to control the body to do those things."
"I don't do human trafficking."
"I didn't say that you do," Gu Mang said, "Besides, how could you kidnap two people? I'm only asking if you've ever treated a couple specially. "
The puppet man thought hard and said firmly: "No."
There was no need for him to lie about this. Gu Mang nodded and said: "Okay, then among the pilgrims who have prayed to you, do you remember 'Bai Rouxia' and 'Lin Yun'?"
"Are those the names of the two missing couples?"
"Yes."
The little puppet man paced back and forth on the window lattice. He touched his uneven chin and said: "I don't remember the name 'Bai Rouxia' at all, but Lin Yun … I feel like this name is very familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before, and …"
"And?"
"And more than once."
Gu Mang's handsome brows furrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.
The little puppet man's desire to live was very strong. In order to prevent his soul from being torn into pieces, he was very cooperative. He hugged his head and tried to think for a long time. If puppets had blood, his face would have turned red by now. But in the end, he sighed and shook his head: "Sigh, I can't remember. But 'Lin Yun' doesn't seem to be a name I've seen on the wishing card. "
"I think so too," Gu Mang said dryly, "Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought that you've seen it many times. Okay, you can think about this question slowly. I'll ask you the second thing. "
"Oh, then I'm so obedient and willing to turn over a new leaf. Little brother, you must plead for me. Don't send me to the eighteenth or first level."
Gu Mang thought to himself, 'This guy's real face is extremely ugly. Yesterday, he kept humiliating Junior Brother Mo, but his acting skills are top-notch. He pretends to be innocent, innocent, and pitiful. His talent in double-dealing is unparalleled.'
The puppet man was still nagging: "Actually, I'm also very helpless. If I say that I was lying to you before, and that I've never even touched a woman before, would you believe me?"
Gu Mang thought about the cucumber slices of the old cucumber and shook his head. But after a while, he said: "Answer my second question first. After that, maybe I'll believe you."
He looked down at the little puppet man sitting by the window and said seriously: "Who moved your corpse under the ancient peach tree?"
