Chapter 0081 If Not
In the dream, my neck was being pulled tighter and tighter, and soon my head was hitting the headboard of the bed. My head was aching and I couldn’t breathe.
I wanted to struggle, but the hand that had just lifted the hair on the back of my head was instantly unable to move, and I couldn't wake up no matter what.
The feeling of suffocation became more and more severe. I felt more and more uncomfortable, and the thing around my neck seemed to be slipping and trying to drill into my nose.
Just when I felt like I was being strangled in my dream, something cold suddenly scratched my neck.
I shivered all over from the cold and opened my eyes hastily, only to see Mo Xiu in an untied black robe, with his chest half open, looking at me.
The snake coffin scales on the collarbone seemed to come alive, especially inside the half-open coffin lid, where the snakes that had poked their heads out seemed to have stretched a little further out.
He was pinching an ice spike between his fingertips, on which was a strand of wet, black, yet slippery hair.
The hair was the same as the one on Fu Qian's head. It seemed to be alive, entangled in the wet ice spikes, and slowly falling down.
But just as it landed on the ground, Mo Xiu pointed his finger, a faint blue light flashed, and the strand of hair turned into fine ash.
There seemed to be a hissing sound in the air, which sounded like air flow, or like a snake spitting out its tongue and screaming.
I gasped heavily, coughed softly, and rubbed my nose hard, fearing that a hair would really get into it: "What is this?"
It looked very long, but when I turned my head, I could clearly see that the hair on one side of me had been cut off and was shorter.
In other words, that strand of living hair might actually have grown out of my head?
Could it be that apart from the blood snake, all the hair in my body was injected into the snake coffin?
This feeling made me feel very insecure, so I quickly tied my hair up with a rubber band.
Mo Xiu tied up his black robe, walked barefoot to the window and looked outside, then he hid me under the bed and took out the snake eggs covered by the sheets.
The snake egg was very small, about the size of a newly laid chicken egg.
The skin of the snake eggs was soft, and Mo Xiu pinched them lightly with his fingertips. It seemed that if he exerted any force, they would be broken.
"Has Fu Qian been here?" Mo Xiu lightly tapped his fingertips, and a faint blue light flashed.
The snake egg instantly caught fire, and a fire snake the size of a little finger seemed to want to rush out from it, but as soon as it raised its head, the entire snake egg turned to ashes just before it emerged from Mo Xiu's fingertips.
I glanced at Qin Mipo next to me, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Hearing Mo Xiu's question, he could only nod and whisper, "Yes."
"You shouldn't see her." Mo Xiu tightened his black robe.
She walked to the bedside and touched my belly with her hand: "Fu Qian and you should not have met. The fact that you don't feel fear proves that the thing in her has found you, confused you, and made you no longer feel fear."
"Those hairs?" It suddenly occurred to me that ever since I met Fu Qian, whenever I saw hair, I always thought it must be alive.
Mo Xiu seemed to be lost in thought, his hand gently stroking my lower abdomen.
The black and white snake bracelet that I took off my wrist was hanging on his wrist.
"Fu Qian is..." I looked at Mo Xiu's thoughtful face, wondering how to say this?
Are you saying that Fu Qian is the reincarnation of Long Ling?
Then what am I, the dragon spirit?
I always thought my name was nice, but now I am annoyed by it.
Mo Xiu glanced at Qin Mipo who was silent beside him, put his arm around my waist, rolled up his sleeves, and took me away.
This time it was faster than before. After entering the cave, Mo Xiu carried me directly to the Yin-Yang Pond and threw the snake bracelet in.
Then he looked at me and said, "The snake coffin has been buried for too many years. No matter how strong it was originally, it will still become decayed. Some things have penetrated it."
"So some of the things that came out of the snake coffin are contrary to the original meaning of the snake coffin?" I thought of the snake in Mr. Hu's body.
Mo Xiu nodded gently: "Did Qin Mipo tell you about Fu Qian?"
I hummed softly and found that although it was cold here, I felt inexplicably safe. I just hugged my arms and held myself together.
Mo Xiu smiled bitterly, pulled me into his arms, and wrapped me in his black robe: "I can't be too far away from the Yin Yang Pond, I'm afraid I can't suppress the evil spirit in my heart that has been contaminated by the snake coffin."
"After Fu Qian sacrificed herself in the snake coffin, she was contaminated by those things before she even landed in the snake coffin, so I extracted her soul." Mo Xiu's voice was slightly heavy.
She hugged me tightly and said, "The thing in the dark of the snake coffin sent her to Huilong Village in revenge. She was imprisoned by the Long family and gave birth to a child, and was tortured."
"Because it has been so long, Fu Qian was originally soulless, but now she is slowly regaining consciousness. It can be said to be out of instinct, or it may be out of hatred. Especially her hair..." Mo Xiu reached out and lifted up my short hair.
He said in a deep voice: "Hair is the place where the soul lives, and it is also the manifestation of qi and blood. It is also the place where a woman's resentment is accumulated. She has been in Huilong Village for more than a thousand years. She has given birth to children for generations, but has been forbidden for generations, so she has a lot of resentment. She herself doesn't know it, but those hairs are alive."
"Now that you've met her, you can't keep your hair anymore." Mo Xiu broke the rubber band between his fingers.
He twirled his fingers in my hair and said with a wry smile, "She and you... after all, share the same soul, so there are some similarities between you."
" The thing in the dark of the snake coffin definitely doesn't want you to give birth to a snake fetus, so..." Mo Xiu reached out, took out a razor from my pocket, shook it and said, "Let me help you?"
The razor flashed a cold light under the white light of the fireflies.
I didn’t expect Mo Xiu to be so direct. I couldn’t help but touch my hair and said, “Didn’t you ask me to grow it long?”
Mo Xiu put his arm around my waist and pressed me against his chest, then looked down at me and said, "Don't you want to keep your hair long? You were quite unhappy when I told you that."
I was suddenly a little silent. So, just because I was unhappy, even if I looked more like "Long Ling" with long hair, he couldn't accept it?
"Shave first, it's safe." Mo Xiu pressed my head to his chest and said in a deep voice: "Those things are very powerful. Even I don't know what they are. They can make Qin Mipo fall into a deep sleep and give you nightmares. If I hadn't left a trace of my breath in your dream and sensed that you were in danger..."
As Mo Xiu spoke, he did not stop holding the razor in his hand.
He held the back of my head, and I listened to the "shuahua" sound of my scalp being scratched. My nose was close to Mo Xiu's chest, which was so white that it was almost crystal clear. For a moment, I was a little confused.
So when I came to see him, all those emotions were just because I couldn't suppress my anger?
Mo Xiu acted quickly and shaved my head in a short while. He even reached out and touched my head: "It's done."
Then he lifted my chin and looked at me. He seemed to see that I was in a bad mood, so he smiled and comforted me: "You are good-looking, even with a bald head, you still look good."
The slender fingers swung and ruffled my shaved hair together, and then with a flick of the fingertips, a faint blue light flashed.
The hair caught fire with a "sizzle" sound, and at the same time, many hairs seemed to come alive and actually tried to crawl out.
Mo Xiu lightly rolled his fingers, and the flames seemed to be blown by the wind and made a circle, burning all the hair.
Amid the sizzling smell of burning, hair-thin sprouts kept sprouting out.
I was terrified after watching it: "Just because I've seen Fu Qian, I've been infected with it?"
"You've come into contact with her, her hair?" Mo Xiu held me on the rock beside the Yin-Yang Pond, but this time he didn't put me in the water.
Instead, she held me by the small waterway where the water gushed out and drained away, holding the water to wash my hair: "I'll tell her not to look for you again."
The water in the Yin Yang Pond should have been icy cold at this time, but the water that Mo Xiu used to wash my hair was warm.
It slid across the shaved hair just right, making me feel comfortable.
In order to make me lie comfortably, Mo Xiu stretched out his legs and let me use them as a pillow. He covered my forehead with one hand to prevent water from falling into my eyes, and used the other hand to scoop water to wash them.
I looked up at Mo Xiu's jaw, and then down to his half-exposed collarbone. Because he was half-turned, his robe was slightly torn open, and the scale symbol was revealed again.
Mo Xiu's seemed to be more ferocious than mine. Those scales seemed to be growing in reverse and inserted under his skin.
"Is the water temperature okay?" Mo Xiu saw me staring at him, smiled at me and said, "I can adjust the temperature with magic. When you came today, I hadn't suppressed the anger in my body yet, so I got angry with you. But what I said is true."
"Long Ling, after the problem of the snake coffin is resolved, you and I , with our child, will live a normal life just like you did before." Mo Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at me, his gaze full of hope.
This was the second time Mo Xiu mentioned it, and I felt a surge of sweetness and warmth in my heart.
But as the warm water slid over my scalp, my head couldn't help but move on my thighs.
Looking up at the fireflies moving on the cave ceiling, I suddenly felt my eyes hurt .
Tell yourself in your heart that you shouldn’t care.
Without "Dragon Spirit", there might be no me. Without "Dragon Spirit", Mo Xiu would have nothing to do with me, and I might have become Long Xia.
Just as Yu Xinhe said, my talent is because I am Long Ling and I am a girl from the Long family.
I should thank Long Ling and not care about it...
But who is willing to be a substitute?
As the fireflies moved, white light flashed. I closed my eyes and whispered, "Mo Xiu, if one day I am controlled by the things in the dark of the snake coffin like Fu Qian, will you also extract the ghost in my body and let me fall into the snake coffin?"
Then, like Fu Qian, she became a tool for giving birth to children.
