"The day after I died, I was wandering in the Gobi Desert and almost burned out by the scorching sun. I met a strange woman who saved me," Tan Rui said.
It turns out that that day, after Tan Rui encountered a sandstorm, her soul wandered in the yellow sand for a long time.
She did not know that she was dead, and even thought that the camel and the tour group had abandoned her and ran away.
Tan Rui wandered in the Gobi Desert all night, wondering why she couldn't get out of that barren place.
The desire to go home supported her and kept walking despite the biting cold at night in the Gobi Desert.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunshine appeared on the horizon, Tan Rui finally collapsed.
She lay on the ground, unable to move at all. She was horrified to find that her body became lighter and lighter in the sunlight, and streams of gray-white smoke came out.
It was only then that Tan Rui finally seemed to understand something.
Just when she was about to disappear completely, a big red figure slowly walked towards her.
The figure stopped in front of Tan Rui, and the sunlight falling on Tan Rui was completely blocked by her. Tan Rui smelled a cool fragrance, and the soul that was in severe pain from the sunlight no longer smoked out. She only felt a wave of pain all over her body.
Feeling cool.
Tan Rui regained some strength.
She raised her head hard and looked at the big red figure standing in front of her.
It was a woman, wearing a long red dress and a fringed headdress on her head.
Her face couldn't be seen. A bright red veil covered most of it. Only her fair skin, half of her straight nose, and a pair of big, dark, deep eyes were visible. #@$&
Those eyes seem to be able to sink you into them.
The woman looks like a foreign princess from ancient times.
Noble, beautiful and incomparable.
Tan Rui looked up at the woman in a daze, and the woman looked down at Tan Rui, who was lying on the ground and only had the strength to lift her head.
There is no warmth in a woman’s eyes.%&(&
It's as cold as the ice and snow on the Tianshan Mountains in northern Xinjiang.
After looking at each other for a long time, the woman suddenly slowly stretched out a hand towards Tan Rui. The hand was soft and white and slender, wearing a finger chain set with rubies.
Tan Rui heard the low and clear "dinging" sound of the collision of gems and metal, and after seeing the flickering light of the rubies, she lost consciousness.
Waking up again, Tan Rui found herself in a cave.
Stone beds, stone tables, stone chairs and other items are all available, polished exquisitely and smoothly, and neat and clean. Although it is a cave, there is not a trace of sand or dust.
The woman in red sits elegantly at the stone table, with a teapot and teacup on the table.
Both the cup and the teapot are made of white jade, which is so thin and transparent that you can see the water inside.
The woman in red held the white jade cup high in one hand, but did not bring it to her lips. She was looking sideways at Tan Rui, who was curled up on the ground.
The veil on her face hung down on the side of her face, revealing her beautiful face.
Tan Rui has never seen such a beautiful woman.
"Did you save me?"
Tan Rui moved her body and found that the previous feeling of extreme weakness had completely disappeared. She looked down at her hands, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Just thinking about it, she realized that she had already stood up.
"sit down!"
The woman in red pointed to another stone bench next to the stone table with the hand holding the cup, then placed the cup in her hand on the stone table, picked up a white jade cup, poured a glass of water, and placed it on the stone table.
At the other end of the table.
Tan Rui slowly walked to the table and sat down.
She looked at the woman in red and asked again: "Who are you? Did you save me?"
The woman in red looked at her and said something that didn't answer the question: "Are you coming from the mainland? Are you here for tourism?"
Tan Rui was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, can you take me out of this Gobi Desert? I seem to be lost."
She still didn't know whether she was dead or not. Since she didn't know, she just didn't think about it. She wanted to go back. She had a happy family and a sensible and filial son.
"Why do you want to go back?" The woman in red looked at her and asked.
"I promised my husband that I would go back, but the plane has probably been delayed. He will be worried about me at home!" Tan Rui said.
"Haha, husband!"
The woman in red suddenly sneered, picked up the white jade cup and took a sip of tea.
"There is no man who doesn't love the new and hates the old. If you don't go back, he might be happier. You are almost old, and he can still find someone younger and more beautiful than you. But when you are here with me, you will never grow old again, and you can even
Getting younger every day.”
The woman in red put down the white jade cup in her hand and said.
The ruby finger chain wrapped around the white fingers swayed slightly, making the white jade cup look even more dazzling.
"No, Brother Dong is not that kind of person. We have known each other since childhood, and he only has me in his heart."
Tan Rui shook his head, looked at the woman in red and begged: "Since you can save me, can you send me out of this place?"
"But you are already dead!"
The woman in red looked at Tan Rui, with a hint of mockery and a bit of cruelty in her eyes: "If your man only has you in his heart, how could he let you die alone here?"
"I'm really dead!"
The trace of luck in Tan Rui's heart was finally shattered.
She remembered the moment before she lost consciousness.
She looked at the woman in red and asked, "Who are you? Are you the god here? Why can you still save me after I die?"
Tan Rui looked up and looked around, "Is this the legendary hell?"
The woman in red suddenly laughed.
"I am the Red Willow Demon here, you can also call me the Great Red Willow Fairy, this is where I live.
You are very popular with me, so there are two ways before you now. Either follow me and live here, be my apprentice, and help me collect the souls who died in the Gobi Desert, or I will send you down now.
.”
"Why do you want to collect the souls of people who died in the Gobi Desert?" Tan Rui asked curiously.
"The conditions in this place are too harsh. No one would be willing to come here. But I am here to atone for my sins."
The red willow demon looked at Tan Rui and did not hide anything: "A long time ago, this was a small town. One day, I killed all the people in the small town and turned this place into a desert. And the man I loved most didn't help.
I even wanted to kill me, but in the end the God of the Snow Mountain interceded for me, and he trapped me here to atone for my sins."
When saying these words, the red willow demon remained expressionless and her eyes were cold, as if what she said had nothing to do with her.
Tan Rui looked at the Red Willow Demon with a little more sympathy in her eyes.
Trapped by the one you love most.
No wonder she hates men in her words.
"I don't need anyone's sympathy!"
The red willow demon looked at Tan Rui coldly, "Tell me, do you want me to send you to the underworld now, or do you want to stay here and be my apprentice?"
