Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 264

[Chapter 264 Blood Flying Sky (VII)]

The plasterer looked around the cave and didn’t see half a figure, but he saw the shadow on the stone wall. Suddenly, the shadow in front of him became smaller and smaller, indented into the stone wall, and overlapped with the painted figure. When he began to dance, the plasterer seemed to be in a beautiful dream, and the person in front of him became more and more clear. The red dance dress, the golden rocking ornaments, and every movement and twist was the appearance of Ley.

“Ley…” The plasterer’s eyes were dull, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he touched the stone wall with his hand.

At this moment, the dancing fairy stopped suddenly and looked at the plasterer in horror.

“No!” A startled cry called the plasterer back from the dream to reality. Without the dreamlikeness just now, the people on the wall would still move, but the plasterer was getting farther and farther away.

The plasterer was obsessed and shouted, “Ley, don’t go!”

Hearing the plasterer’s voice, the figure in the painting stopped moving, and after a while he replied, “I can’t go, but don’t come near me either.

” Alright, alright, as long as you say it, I’ll agree.” The plasterer could hear it clearly, the voice was coming from the wall, so he was convinced that the person in the painting was Ley.

“Ley, I found the king’s staff you wanted at the bottom of Crescent Moon Spring, so…”

“I know…” The person in the painting lowered his head and sighed: “You are a good person.”

“Since you know that I have no ill will towards you, so why don’t you let me get close to you?” The plasterer’s heart was as turbulent as the waves of the sea, and he couldn’t control his admiration for Ley.

The person in the painting shook his head and replied, “Because I know you are human, I can’t bear to lure you into the wall.”

“Why?”

“Because…” The person in the painting slowly stated the reason for the death of the literati named Zhao Jingming. Like the plasterer, he also saw Ley. Ley showed up and met Zhao Jingming in the cave. Unexpectedly, because of the humiliation of Lai’s death, his hatred for men went deep into his bones, and he couldn’t control his grievance for a while, so he sucked Zhao Jingming’s soul completely. “At that time, I didn’t know that I would kill people. I didn’t mean to, but…”

“I understand.” The plasterer learned the reason for Ley’s death in the letter from the master to him, and he also understood the reason for Ley’s death. Why did Soul kill men? He didn’t blame Ley at all. On the contrary, he was curious about another thing. “By the way, Ley, when I found this staff in Crescent Moon Spring, it was in the hands of a dwarf, I don’t know if it was…”

“To be honest, I was originally a princess of a small country, the one you saw The corpse was the mage of our country, Moduo. Because his father was critically ill, the people of the court were unstable, and he was afraid that the traitor would cause chaos, so the mage fled with his staff overnight, in order to prevent the traitor from getting the king’s staff and moving to the throne. Unexpectedly, he came to Dunhuang. At that time, the mage met the ambush soldiers, and he was helpless, and the mage threw himself into the lake.”

“But, it’s very strange…”

“You listen to me first, the mage did not die immediately after he threw himself into the lake. The first thing he thought of was how to protect the king’s law. So he tried his best to dig into the soil of Crescent Moon Spring, so that even if he died, it would be difficult for the traitor to find the staff, because this is not in our country, and they did not dare to make a big splash. On the night after the death of the master, I was raped. People were driven out of the palace, and one night in the countryside, Master Mo Duo exhausted his last soul and gave me a dream. He told me the location of the staff, and asked me to come to Dunhuang to retrieve the staff and return to Dunhuang. My country, to avenge my father and relatives. After listening to the Master’s words, I embarked on a trip to Dunhuang alone. Unexpectedly, on the way, I met Mordor and Avia, two orphans of the same clan, So I brought them along, and as for the future, I think you already know.”

“What about your clan now?” the plasterer asked with concern.

The person in the painting sighed: “You are suffering from misery.”

“Then you have the scepter of the king, can you go back…”

“Don’t be stupid, I’m already a dead man. It’s just my wish to find the king’s staff, and I will never be able to return to my country.”

Hearing Ley’s sadness, the plasterer’s heart was also very sad. He handed the staff to the shadow and said affectionately: “The staff, I found it for you, no matter where you are, I will follow you.”

“You are so stupid…” The painting on the stone wall was soaked with water stains , winding down like human tears.

The plasterer grinned, “Even if I’m a fool, I’m a fool, although I’m an orphan, but I’m lucky to have met my master, who gave me food, taught me craftsmanship, and I was brought up, although I have no money and no girl from any family would like me, but I can accompany the person I like every day, and that’s enough.”

“What’s your name?” The person in the painting asked softly.

“I don’t have a name. The master calls me Xiaoyu. He said that the fish in the desert will die of thirst sooner or later, unless I can make it rain heavily in the desert.”

“Haha.” The person in the painting laughed softly, and after a while, Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he urged: “Go back first, it’s almost dawn, you are a good person, and you will take care of the staff.”

“This…” The plasterer never thought of taking care of such a precious thing , some have no confidence. “I’ll give it to you, I’m afraid of losing it.”

“I believe in you, but you won’t.” After the man in the painting finished speaking, the shadow gradually faded away…

“Well, I promise you, as long as I live, this thing will I won’t lose it.” Lay’s trust in the plasterer made the plasterer very happy, the plasterer swallowed, took off his clothes and wrapped the staff, and left the cave quickly… Lay didn’t expect that the plasterer left, It is forever, because he has a reason why he will never come…

Day after day, Lei’s soul has become weaker and weaker, and she has not absorbed the yang energy for a long time, the longer she stays in this world. It’s getting shorter. She thought that the plasterer had lost his way, so she occasionally danced in the cave. She wanted to use her voice to lure the plasterer back, but when she looked at it, except for the yellow sand, there was only disappointment.

“Rye, he’s not coming.” A little boy jumped out of the wall and walked to Rye’s side.

Ley shook his head and replied, “He will definitely come. He’s different from those people. He won’t lie to me.

” little girl.

When Ley heard that the plasterer would be in trouble, she was a little nervous, and she turned her head and asked the little girl, “Aviya, how can we help him?”

“Can’t help, Ley, in three days, we will be gone forever. .” After the little boy finished speaking, his expression was very sad, a sadness more desolate than fear of death…
