The surroundings were pitch black, and if it weren't for the slight flickering of two candlelights, it would be almost difficult to see clearly the surrounding environment.
There are weird walls on all sides, trapping Bai Mo and Yang Xiaowan in this small space.
After listening to Yang Xiaowan's words, Bai Mo felt helpless and sighed: "How long has it been, how can you still care about life and death..."
He could clearly sense that the ground was shaking quite badly just now, and it was very likely that an earthquake had occurred.
Although the shaking is not continuing now, there is no telling when there will be aftershocks. For safety reasons, they need to leave this place as soon as possible.
"This...Ms. Yang, let's find a way to get out of here quickly. There is no need to continue playing."
Yang Xiaowan was silent for a long time and did not answer for a long time.
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment. Just when he was wondering if he had said something wrong, the other party finally spoke.
"My husband really hates slaves."
Her tone was soft and her emotions could not be heard. She seemed to be asking or reminding herself.
Bai Moxin asked why this girl suddenly said this, and hesitated: "Of course hate doesn't count..."
"Does that mean you don't like it anymore?"
"If you're asking that, of course you don't like it. How long have we known each other..."
Bai Mo smiled bitterly and said, "Even if it's acting, I don't have acting skills like yours. I can be affectionate towards people in minutes, and..."
"Acting skills..." Yang Xiaowan chuckled and asked, "And what?"
"And you've always been wearing a red hijab. I don't even know what you look like. It's just like online dating..."
"Although I don't know what online dating means, it's not the slave's fault. It's clearly my husband who has been unwilling to take off the slave's hijab." Yang Xiaowan said aggrievedly.
Bai Mo thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case...
But now was not the time to care about this at all. He spoke faster and said, "Don't let the topic go astray. The most important thing is to get out of here right now."
He looked worried and said to himself: "I don't know where the others are..."
As he spoke, he stood up and groped around the walls that looked like they were woven with hair.
However, he touched around and couldn't find the door.
It seems that as early as the beginning, there was no thought of designing a door in this place. There were only cold and solid walls on all sides. It seemed that it was really a "cage".
He remembered the word that Yang Xiaoguan had just mentioned, and thought that the other party might know something, so he walked over and asked: "You know where this place is, right? Is there any secret passage here?"
The latter seemed to look at him for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "The slave family said that the cage has no exit."
As he spoke, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Bai Mo's heart tightened and he had a headache: "It's started again. Let's look for it together."
"No need, at most there will be no more than one stick of incense before one of the living candles and the dead candles burns out. By then, no matter which one burns out, the cage will be opened."
So outrageous?
Bai Mo looked at the two big red candles that were burning slowly, and his expression suddenly became strange: "Is it possible that this earthquake was caused by you? Are we still in the script?"
Yang Xiaowan smiled: "My husband clearly knows everything, so why bother asking?"
Bai Mo said blankly: "I know everything well..."
Yang Xiaowan did not answer, but said: "The three people just now were all wearing similar fancy clothes to my husband. I think my husband should know them, right?"
No, who is wearing the fancy clothes?
Bai Mo sighed slightly, thinking that this guy might be out of luck, so he replied: "You can barely say that."
The two candle flames on the Life and Death Candle are still weak, but the burning speed seems to have accelerated a bit.
Yang Xiaowan glanced over there, and then continued: "The Nu family guessed it right. Since you know each other, I think your husband must have heard about the Nu family, right?"
Bai Mo looked puzzled: "Have you heard anything?"
"Husband, you really don't know?"
"I really don't know."
Yang Xiaowan thought for a while: "Then while there is still time, why not let the slave family tell her husband personally."
Bai Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, I have been your husband for so long, you have finally remembered to tell me the background of the story...
But the problem is...
Bad timing, right? There's an earthquake right now!
However, before he could speak, Yang Xiaowan spoke.
Her voice was originally beautiful, but now her tone seemed to be filled with reminiscence, as if she was really telling her past experiences, making people fall in unconsciously.
The story is not complicated, and can be summed up in just one sentence -
The story of a rich young lady who fights against gods but is defeated and eventually becomes a lost girl.
In the candlelight, Yang Xiaowan slowly spoke.
"From about the age of nine, everything in the slave family seems to have been arranged."
"Playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, court etiquette, warming wine and making tea, even washing and cooking... So the slave family has been taught everything a woman can do."
Decathlon!
Bai Mo listened quietly without speaking.
"Later I found out that the slave family was promised a marriage when they were nine years old, and the husband was a god. Since then, everyone has said that marrying a god is a blessing that the slave family cannot get in many lifetimes."
God?
Bai Mo was stunned. Is this the background of Xianxia?
Perhaps seeing his doubts, Yang Xiaowan explained: "The so-called gods are existences that transcend mortals. No one has seen them, but no one dares to say that they do not exist."
"There is indeed divine power in this world, which can both bless all living beings and bring disasters. No matter who it is, as long as they follow the miracles, they will be protected by the gods. And Nujia is the wife chosen by the gods in a miracle.
"
"He calls himself the God of Desire, also known as the God of Destiny."
"The slave family was still curious about why everything in the family has been getting better since I was nine years old: my father rose to prominence, my eldest brother was highly regarded by the king, and everyone greeted me with a smile... I later found out that this was all because of
Because the slave’s husband is a god, everything comes from his protection.”
Bai Mo learned from the other party that the so-called miracles are actually rows of writing that occasionally appear in the sky, and everything the gods need is clearly written on them.
Everyone believed deeply in the gods, and when they saw the miracle that the gods would marry Yang Xiaowan when she was eighteen years old, everyone was shocked -
Because this is the first time that such a miracle of naming a person has occurred!
In the past it was all things, but this time it was people.
People can't help but wonder, since the gods are so supreme, then...as the wife of the gods, how high will Yang Xiaowan's status be in the future?
So...as her relative, it's not too much to increase her status by a hundred million points, right?
As her good friend, it’s reasonable to barely get some light from her, right?
As a citizen of the same country as her, there is nothing wrong with living a well-off life, right?
As her king, no one will dare to say anything if they gasp loudly during meetings in the future, right?
On that day, everyone had the same idea, that is, could they use Yang Xiaowan to see the true face of the god?
Therefore, the king of Chen State at that time, who was Yang Xiaowan's king, used almost the entire country to prepare for Yang Xiaowan's wedding. He even built the extremely luxurious Yang Mansion as Yang Xiaowan's future wedding room.
Yang Xiaowan's parents tried every means to let her learn various skills in the hope of pleasing the gods. They even taught the young girl early on about things in the house.
Everyone has strong expectations for this grand wedding, and they naturally ignore the feelings of one person -
Yang Xiaowan.
She is not willing to be the bride of the gods.
"Although the slave family has seen several miracles, they have never believed in gods. If there are gods in the world, how can there be so many injustices in the world?"
Yang Xiaowan said, "More than that, the Nu family also doesn't want the person they will spend their whole lives with in the future to be someone they have never met and don't know their nature, so they don't want to get married to a so-called god."
Bai Mo nodded secretly, not bad, not bad, breaking feudalism and still having independent opinions, this is the independent woman in the new era!
But even though he thought so, he still guessed the direction of the next story.
"But no one else agrees, right?"
"Yes, no one, including the slave family's father and mother, allowed the slave family to regret the marriage. After learning that the slave family was unwilling, they even put the slave family under house arrest at home and did not let the slave family see any man. They only saw the slave family all day long.
I can learn from those boring female celebrities."
"Later I found out that the miracle that day not only said that the slave would marry the slave, but also emphasized one thing, that is, if the slave did not want to get married, divine punishment would be sent down to kill everyone."
"The slave family is just a bargaining chip."
"What happened next?" Bai Mo asked.
Although the other party's narration was plain, he felt a touch of sadness, as if all this was really the other party's personal experience.
Yang Xiaowan smiled softly and said: "Then the slave family kept getting married all day long, and there were more than two hundred men, until today the husband arrived."
Bai Mo was stunned and wondered: "You are the wife destined by the gods. Will they agree to let you wear a hat like this?"
"Of course I don't agree. But in order to make the slave family willing to marry the gods, everyone will try their best to satisfy the slave family, even if the slave family makes such an excessive request..."
Yang Xiaowan smiled playfully, "After all, the gods have never said that the slave family cannot marry another person before marrying him. Although others are afraid that the gods will be angry because of this, they are even more afraid that the slave family will directly kill them if they don't marry the gods."
Bai Mo was speechless. Even though he said that, the question is, do you still need to say it on paper that you can't wear a hat...
"This is too casual."
"Yeah, it's too casual."
Yang Xiaowan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Some people even say, 'Leave it to her, it's just a practice before getting married.' In the end, whether it's parents or other people, all they need is an obedient person.
It’s just a bargaining chip.”
"Everyone in the world says that I, Yang Xiaowan, am a playboy. In fact, I just want to see what the so-called love is like before losing my freedom."
Bai Mo finally understood. This turned out to be a rebellious and ignorant girl who longed for love...
"So have you found love?"
"No, everything is different from what I thought."
Yang Xiaowan's voice became deeper, "On the first day when the slave family started to recruit brides, the maid who had been advising the slave family died. Her death was mysterious. Three days after her death, the whole family was wiped out by bandits, and no bones were left."
"On the day when the first groom came to the house, the maid who had been spying on the outside world for the slave family also died. It is said that she suddenly fell down on the street and drowned in a basin of water."
"On the day of the wedding, there were no guests, and it was impossible for the slave family to come. The only two servants who were willing to help the slave family prepare for the wedding were found dead in the back mountain the next day."
"Since then, in addition to the watery Yanghua, the slave family has also gained the title of a lone star of evil spirits."
Bai Mo said nothing.
"That's when I realized that there might really be a god and destiny in this world. He had already arranged everything for me... and even cursed me."
Bai Mo asked: "How is the first groom doing?"
Yang Xiaowan smiled miserably and said: "He is dead. He died suddenly before he finished worshiping."
"However, there is no shortage of brave people in this world, or maybe the Nu family gave too much. After that, people came to propose marriage one after another, but no one in the house stopped them, so the Nu family naturally agreed."
"But without exception, they all died. The later they got married, the later they died. However, the ones who lived the longest only stayed at the moment before the wedding ceremony."
"Later I learned that all the people who had supported the slave family's decision were actually dead."
"More than that, perhaps because of my willfulness, the Yang Mansion began to decline. Natural disasters occurred frequently in Chen State. Chen State's national power weakened significantly and was captured by other countries. In the end, in addition to the wedding room that was built for me earlier, Chen State's
It was almost completely scorched earth."
"The survivors crowded into the huge Yang Mansion, and the slave family was sitting in the wedding room. I could only hear them crying and cursing... I knew they had been waiting."
"Waiting for the moment when the slave family commits itself to the gods."
"I sometimes wonder if all the blame lies with me? If I obey the gods' miracles, Chen Guo will only prosper..."
"Of course I don't blame you."
Bai Mo glanced at Yang Xiaowan, who was stunned for a moment, and said, "Look at what I'm doing, keep talking."
"The slave family lost everything, but gained nothing."
Yang Xiaowan lowered her head and said, "All the men who come to propose marriage may have different thoughts in their hearts, but there is absolutely no such thing as falling in love with the slave family."
"But it doesn't matter. At that time, the slave family no longer wanted love, they just hoped that someone could do that..."
"Which step?"
"I'm not afraid of my husband's jokes. The slave family has always hoped that someone can take away the slave family's body. No matter who the other person is, as long as the gods are not the first."
Her tone was calm, with a hint of hatred, "This may be the only effective revenge that the slave family can do against that guy."
The candle flame danced non-stop, illuminating Bai Mo's face in flickering light.
Yang Xiaowan's voice came.
"However, it is a pity that on the eve of the slave's eighteenth birthday, the last groom also died before the wedding."
She smiled bitterly and said, "Even if it's just one more day, maybe the slave family can realize their wish."
"I was even more sure at that time. It turns out that there really is a destiny in this world. Everything has been destined for a long time. The slave family spent all their efforts, but in the end they could only devote themselves to the gods. He seemed to have been playing with me."
Bai Mo was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "That's not right, am I not the last groom?"
Yang Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Why do you need to pretend to be crazy? Of course you are not."
"What do you mean, other people can wear this cuckold of a god, but I, Bai Mo, can't wear it?"
Yang Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, then said shyly: "If your husband is willing, then..."
Bai Mo was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to answer Yang Xiaowan's words. He just heard the sadness in the other person's tone and almost felt it, and then he couldn't help but tremble...
For some reason, he felt the same fate that everyone complained about and was dissatisfied with.
Yang Xiaowan said calmly: "It's not that the slave family doesn't have the courage to commit suicide, but the slave family has said that if the slave family is not willing to marry the gods, everyone else will be punished and killed by the gods."
For some reason, Bai Mo suddenly became irritable and said, "This kind of people are not worth saving. What do you care about them?"
"In a sense, after all, it was the slave family who disobeyed the miracle and harmed them. This is the fate of the slave family. It can only be said that it is hard to violate the destiny."
Bai Mo was furious: "If miracles are really useful, how dare someone invade your country? If everything is really destined, why can you still defy the gods?"
"But so many people died because of me..."
"Isn't this more proof that God is a waste?"
"But……"
Yang Xiaowan was speechless and suddenly looked at the burning living and dead candles——
The dead candle obviously burns faster than the live candle.
Bai Mo followed her gaze and looked over.
"What's wrong?"
"The Nujia remembered that although the Nujia did not become the wife of the god, she was still a chess piece manipulated by him. Now that he is awake, everything is under his control."
God is awake?
The other party's topic jumped too much. Bai Mo thought for a while before reacting and asked: "So what do these two candles represent now?"
"The cage will only be opened when there is only one living person left in the cage, so the burning of the life candle and the death candle respectively means the death of one person."
As the words fell, the air became stagnant.
There was an inexplicable tingling sensation in his body, and Bai Mo asked: "So it's me who dies, right?"
"Yes." Yang Xiaowan nodded slightly, "But if my husband is willing to marry into the slave family..."
"Then let me die directly."
Bai Mo interrupted her.
"The husband must think carefully. This time everything will no longer be controlled by the slave family. He will really die."
A bloody sharp knife slipped out of Yang Xiaowan's sleeve.
The ground began to shake, more violently than ever before.
"It's okay, it's all the same."
Bai Mo smiled. The shadow under his feet seemed to want to make a move, but stopped forcibly.
"Don't think about blowing the candle of life and death. Ordinary people cannot blow out the candle of life and death this time, and they must bear the price." Yang Xiaowan sighed.
"Maybe I'm not an ordinary person?"
As if he felt something, Bai Mo's tone began to change - he seemed to be waiting for something.
The ground continued to shake, and for some unknown reason, a cyan light curtain gradually formed around the Hidden Beast Mountain, slowly taking shape.
Yang Xiaowan looked at the dying candle that was about to burn out, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked: "Husband, if fate is inevitable, are you willing to marry into the slave family?"
"I don't want to."
"What if it's for love?"
"Where does the love between us come from?"
"Then...what if it's to cuckold a god?"
"Huh? If you say so, I might agree..."
Bai Mo's eyes lit up, he licked his lips, and suddenly frowned, "But... do you really believe in the so-called fate?"
Yang Xiaowan noticed that the other party's momentum was quietly changing, and gradually overlapped with a certain figure in her memory -
At the same time, the light cyan light curtain has covered the entire Hidden Beast Mountain.
"Anyway, I never believe in fate."
Bai Mo seemed to have been waiting for this moment, uu Reading www.uukanshu.com He smiled, walked to the life and death candles, and blew out the two candles easily.
"I said, if just two candles can determine fate, then it is God's will."
"If the other party is a god...then I will be an evil ghost."
Yang Xiaowan seemed stunned, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she didn't speak for a long time.
The candlelight went out and the whole room was dark.
But even in this darkness, the shadow under Bai Mo's feet still looked particularly dazzling.
In the room, a weird and violent aura suddenly rose, and countless hairs on the wall turned into thin swords, stabbing Bai Mo fiercely.
The latter remained motionless.
The next second, a crisp "click" sound was heard, and the shadow suddenly turned its head and looked in a certain direction, its eyes extremely cold.
At the foot of the Hidden Beast Mountain, a low laugh rang out.
