Chapter 73: Broken Heart and Hundred Ghosts Trapping Spirit Array

I didn’t expect Boqie to play such a trick. The anger in my heart suddenly rose to the sky, and my hand holding the soup began to tremble. I was considering whether to put the soup bowl on his head to sober him up.

Ling Ruxue knew my bad temper well and had already come to my side. She put her hand on my arm and looked at me with almost pleading eyes.

I took a deep breath and knew that she had carried too much on her shoulders, almost the entire life of the village on her own, leading to this Black Rock Miao Village, every move had to be careful, bearing the burden of humiliation, I could not because of my temper, even if she was implicated.

So I endured it, pretending to be calm, and turned my head away from Bu Zhou’s annoying face.

But I didn’t expect Bu Zhou to stagger over and try to grab Ru Xue again. At that moment, Bu Zhou received a solid kick in the face, and he stumbled backwards a few steps before stopping.

I was shocked. Who was it that dared to kick Bu Zhou in the face? I turned around and saw the little guy Huigen holding a bowl of rice in both hands, standing steadily on a stool, with his round eyes glaring at Bu Zhou.

“Uncle can tolerate it, but auntie can’t! You overturned my eggs and wouldn’t let me eat. You’re finished!” Hui Gen’er announced the charges against Bu Zhou with a righteous look, and there were still vegetable leaves and pieces of pork liver hanging from his little clothes.

I really wanted to hold back, to pretend to be serious and ‘kindly’ go over to stop the fight, but thinking about the saying that even an uncle can hold back, but an aunt can’t, I finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and Ling Ruxue couldn’t help but laugh as well, looking at the footprints on Bu Zhou’s face.

Bu Zhou looked at us laughing and of course knew that we were laughing at him. He burst out and shouted, “Little brat, I’ll throw you to the worms.” Then he pounced on Huigen.

Hui Gen threw the bowl at Ling Ruxue and said, “Put it away for me, I want to eat it later.” Ling Ruxue was stunned for a moment, caught the bowl thrown by Hui Gen, and I looked up and saw that the boy had so many scrambled eggs in the bowl.

Bu Zhou missed the bowl because Hui Gen had already performed a beautiful back somersault and landed on the stool, and then kicked Bu Zhou.

I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I asked myself if I could do such a difficult move as Hui Gen’er did. Could it be… At this thought, I couldn’t help but applaud loudly: “Hui Gen’er, good, Shaolin kung fu.”

Hui Gen turned around and smiled at me proudly: “I’ve been practicing since I was a child, and my master is even better.”

Our back and forth banter undoubtedly made Bu Zhou even more angry. He was already drunk and his feet were unsteady, and he was in a hurry to catch Hui Gen, but he was instead amused by the agile Hui Gen, who made him run around the room.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, not stopping this scene at all. Even if the Black Rock Miao Village was overbearing, it was impossible to argue with a child. This Bu Zhou was drunk and crazy, and he deserved to be cleaned up by Huigen.

Although Huigen was agile and had a good foundation in kung fu, he was still a child, and compared to an adult, he still lacked strength. Kung fu is not a myth. It doesn’t mean that if you know the moves, you can be invincible. Internal training requires a lot of time to accumulate.

Therefore, although Bu Zhou took a lot of attacks from Hui Gen, he was not injured. However, he could not help but yell a few words in Miao language in anger. Then I couldn’t wait for Ling Ruxue to translate for me, and I saw the two Miao men who had been shouted out by him rush in.

With the three of them chasing after him, Hui Gen was obviously unable to escape. He was about to be caught by Bu Zhou, and I didn’t think that Bu Zhou would let Hui Gen off lightly if he caught him. So I stood up with the soup in my hand and rushed to Bu Zhou, and I slammed the bowl down on him.

“Are you ashamed? How can you bully a child like this?” I clapped my hands and said to Bu Zhou, then pulled Hui Gen’er behind me.

Bu Zhou’s face turned red and then pale after I grabbed him. He pointed at me and said, “You’re dead.” Then he said something in the Miao language to the two black Miao men and rushed at me with his fists.

I didn’t mind teaching Bu Zhou a lesson, so I went up to him…

After all, I was someone that the great witch Boche valued very highly, so the two black Miao men didn’t dare to do anything to me, only trying to break up the fight. But I wasn’t at all polite to Boche, and once again knocked him to the ground, of course I also took a few solid punches.

Bu Zhou lay on his back on the ground gasping for breath. I broke free from the two black Miao men and said to Bu Zhou, “You’re shameless. I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. Do you think you’re a bandit? Can you still forcefully rob a woman?”

Bu Zhou stared at me, staring at me, staring at me deeply, staring at me until my heart was hair. He suddenly began to laugh wildly, laughing at me while saying, “Bandits, bandits, so what? They are all better than you, a little white face who is going to die soon, hahaha… Do you think you have a chance… hahaha… to get Ling Ruxue?”

My face changed, and I became very gloomy. I thought of Gao Ning’s words. I didn’t think that Bu Zhou was lying to me. Ling Ruxue walked over to me at this time, almost involuntarily pulling my sleeve and asking me, “Chengyi, what is he talking about?”

Hui Gen was next to him, shaving his egg rice, and said to Bu Zhou, “Listen to his nonsense. My brother will live to be a hundred years old.” It was rare for Hui Gen to use Mandarin, which shows that Hui Gen is also very serious.

I didn’t want Ru Xue and Hui Gen’er to know anything. After all, Gao Ning and my agreement was very risky. I didn’t answer Ling Ru Xue anything, but walked straight to Bu Zhou. Bu Zhou saw Ling Ru Xue hold my sleeve just now, and his eyes almost burst into flames. When he saw me walking towards him, he spat a mouthful of blood-stained phlegm on my pants.

I didn’t pay any attention to this, but looked at Bu Zhou and said, “Do you know anything?”

Bu Zhou laughed heartily, but said, “Do you think I’ll tell you? Just remember, you’re going to die, you have to die!”

The two Miao people who followed him, one of whom probably understood Han Chinese, hurriedly went up to help Bu Zhou get up and dragged him out. Bu Zhou looked at Ling Ruxue and yelled, “Do you know what it means to be faithful to one person? You slut! I really liked you, and I wanted to be good to you for the rest of my life. You wait, you’re finished. You’ll suffer for the rest of your life. I won’t be good to you anymore. I won’t!”

When I heard this, I wanted to rush up and slap Bu Zhou again, but Ling Ruxue held me back and said to me very calmly, “Let him say whatever he wants. I don’t care.”

“He said such vicious things about you and you don’t care?” I raised my eyebrows. If someone said that to me, I would rush up and tear his mouth off.

“I don’t care what he says to someone who doesn’t care.” Ling Ruxue said very simply, and then began to clean up the mess in the house. But I was worried and couldn’t help but say, “What if you really marry him in the future, he…”

Ling Ruxue stopped her hand movements, looked at me, and suddenly asked me, “So you’re worried about this?” Her eyes were warm and peaceful, but the fleeting sadness suddenly pierced my heart, and I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

But Ling Ruxue had already lowered her head again to pack her things. While I was still feeling distressed, I suddenly heard her calm words float over: “I cannot decide my fate, but my life is in my own hands.”

My heart twitched. What did she mean?

In the end, Bu Zhou was the little prince of the Heiyan Miao village. After we had just tidied up the messy house and it had been quiet for a few minutes, Lie Zhou came to the door in a threatening manner.

Compared to the impulsive Bu Zhou, Lie Zhou obviously knows how to suppress his anger. He didn’t pay any attention to Huigen and me at all, but instead said directly to Ling Ruxue, “This time, you stay in the village and don’t go back. Tomorrow, I will send someone to your Yueyan Miao village to give you a betrothal gift. After they reply, you will marry my son. My son has a stubborn illness and needs a good omen. Time is running out. Please forgive me for any lack of etiquette.”

This sentence was as sharp as the curved knife he carried at his waist, piercing straight into my heart. I saw Ling Ruxue’s pale face, and I believe it also pierced into her heart.

Lie Zhou didn’t even allow Ling Ruxue to respond, and walked straight to the door, then turned and said, “Although there is no word of the matchmaker, the senior members of both villages know about you and Bu Zhou, and it is almost a tacit agreement. I believe no one will object.”

I wanted to jump out and yell, “I object!” But would Lie Zhou care about my objection?

After Lie Zhou left, Ling Ruxue and I stood in the living room. Only Huigen, who had been following Master Hui to learn Buddhism since he was a child, was as pure as a child. He obviously didn’t understand what Lie Zhou had just said.

I looked at Ling Ruxue. She didn’t know why, but she avoided my gaze.

I couldn’t imagine the day when Ling Ruxue was wearing a Miao wedding dress, being led by Bu Zhou in the midst of the crowd. My heart ached! At this time, I didn’t need to think at all, and I knew that I really liked her. From the first glance, from the moment she turned her head lightly at the window, this face was engraved in my heart.

At that time, when she turned her head, in my eyes, apart from her face, all the background had faded away. At that time, she was like a breeze, which had long ago blown up my heart.

I have been avoiding her, avoiding her, until now, Lie Zhou is like a knife at my neck, making it impossible for me to avoid her. She doesn’t look at me, so I simply rushed to her in a few steps, grabbed her shoulders, and turned her body over so that she could look at me.

Ling Ruxue’s eyes were still calm, so calm that I was desperate. I suddenly didn’t know what to say, just staring at her, dumbfounded.

Ling Ruxue seemed to not see my burning gaze at all, gently pushing my hand away with her hand and turning to leave. I could no longer hold back, and I took Ling Ruxue into my arms. At that moment, my arms were trembling, and at that moment, I realized that this was something I had wanted to do for a long time鈥攖o hold her in my arms.

“Don’t… don’t marry him.” I didn’t know if I was begging at this moment.

The person in my arms did not react at all, like a piece of wood, allowing me to hold her. After I said this, her calm voice came from my arms: “Chen Chengyi, have you always been so reckless? Compared to Bu Zhou, you seem to be more direct and domineering.”

I was a little embarrassed. I really wasn’t Qin Huai. I didn’t have sweet words, and I didn’t know how to chase girls or how to move them. If you ask me how good I should be to Ling Ruxue, I think I only have feelings that I can’t express.

At this point, Ling Ruxue had already pushed me away and turned her head to the side, as always, saying in a light tone, “Now I believe what Ruyue said. You are a conceited man. It seems that you only have two options in your relationships. One is that you like someone else, and that person should like you back. The other is that you don’t like someone else, but that person likes you. But I’m sorry, I’m not in either of your two options. But at least Bu Zhou has given me a reason to give in. I’m going to sleep.”

After saying that, Ling Ruxue turned and left, leaving me standing in the living room, quiet, as if I could hear the sound of my heart breaking, one piece after another!

“Brother, you just hugged Sister Ruixue.” Suddenly a voice sounded in my ear, and I realized that this kid, Huigen, had been watching the show.

I didn’t know what to say, and subconsciously I wanted to find a cigarette.

“Brother, you’re heartbroken.” Hui Gen suddenly sighed and said, “You’re a big kid.”

I had just put the cigarette in my mouth, but as soon as I heard Hui Gen’er say that, the cigarette fell to the ground. I always thought that Hui Gen’er was pure like a piece of white paper, but what’s wrong with this kid?

I grabbed Hui Gen’er by the collar and hugged him, pinching his face and asking, “Tell me, where did you learn that?”

Hui Gen was pinched and immediately said honestly, “I saw it in a movie. A man hugs a woman, and if the woman doesn’t hug the man, it means she doesn’t like him, and the man is heartbroken.”

I was relieved to find that the boy didn’t understand, but my gloomy mood was slightly improved by the child’s honest words.

Is this what I have been seeking but not getting, and what I have gotten but not been able to enjoy? I endured the pain in my heart and coaxed Huigen to go to sleep. Then, like a madman, I took out cinnabar and ritual implements from my luggage.

You, Zhou, and Zhou, you come and go freely in my place, insulting and bullying people. Do you really think that Taoism is powerless? With this thought in mind, I began to mix the cinnabar and smeared it around the house.

I was so absorbed in it that I hoped to forget the pain I had just felt.

A magic circle is not so easy to set up, especially for someone like me who is not yet accomplished in Taoism. However, this magic circle must be set up!

It was not until midnight that I had finished drawing the patterns needed for the formation. Each pattern required a lot of concentration and the power of the formation was infused into it. It was no easier to draw than a low-level talisman. I was so exhausted that I almost fainted.

Then I took out the magic tools and began to set them up. These magic tools were all good quality left to me by my master. The power they contained was self-evident, and none of them had not been cultivated for more than ten years.

But these magic weapons are all鈥攅xposed weapons! They were specially cultivated in places where yin and yang gather, because the magic circle I set up is鈥攖he Hundred Ghosts Trapping Spirit Circle!
