The people who managed to escape with their lives, after resting, either remained silent, or left a few words of comfort, and then left this bloody and terrifying place one by one. In this troubled world, who's life is not life, and who can control whose life? Every day, every night, every strange and secluded place, isn’t the same scene of life and death being staged
Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan also left there, the beast monster's lair is smelly and disgusting, it's really not a place for people to stay. They reluctantly moved the body of the wild dog Taoist out of the monster beast's den, and placed it in the open space that had just entered the forest.
Taoist Wild Dog's body seemed to be still slightly warm, but after all, it cooled down slowly.
Zhou Yixian frowned, sat aside, shook his head and sighed, while Xiaohuan knelt beside Taoist Wild Dog, choked up and wept.
The night wind was blowing, shaking the treetops, and in the shadows, the mysterious man in black saw the scene just now. Even though it was easy for him to get rid of the two beast monsters, he stood in the dark and watched silently from the beginning to the end as if his blood was cold. At this moment, his eyes looked at Xiaohuan, and then shifted to Zhou Yixian.
After a while, Zhou Yixian said in a low voice: "Okay, Xiaohuan, he...he is dead after all, let's find a place to bury him and let him rest in peace!"
Xiaohuan shook her body, her choking sound became louder, she suddenly raised her head and cried to Zhou Yixian, "Grandpa, don't you know everything, why don't you think of a way to save him?"
Zhou Yixian smiled wryly, and said, "I'm not Nine Nether Yama, let alone a god in the sky. How would I know such a spell to bring the dead back to life?"
Xiaohuan choked up and said, "But the Taoist priest died to save us."
Zhou Yixian sighed, shifted his eyes to the face of the wild dog Taoist, nodded, and said: "Speaking of which, I also misread him before. I never thought that a person like him would have true feelings. Sigh , but it’s too late to say anything now. Xiaohuan, listen to Grandpa’s words, let’s bury him properly!”
Xiaohuan was dumbfounded, only the tears kept falling down his face, one drop at a time, wetting Taoist Wild Dog's palm.
In the shadow, the eyes of the man in black flickered, but he didn't show any pain or pity. In his eyes, the human relationship in this world seemed to be a live drama, and he was the only one watching coldly.
Zhou Yixian got up and looked around, but in this barren mountain and wild place, where could he find anything convenient. After looking for a long time, he could only grab a wooden stick and come back, and dug a few times on the ground, but only a little soil was turned up. If he wanted to dig a hole to bury someone, God knows when it would take to dig.
Is it impossible to even do a proper burial
Zhou Yixian gave up his stick and sighed, a rare look of vicissitudes appeared on his face. While sighing, he looked back and suddenly frowned. I saw that Xiaohuan had stopped crying at some point, after wiping away the tears on her face, she also found a wooden stick, and started to clean beside the wild dog Taoist, sweeping away all the dead leaves and branches.
At first, Zhou Yixian thought that Xiaohuan thought it would be difficult to dig a hole, so he just wanted to tidy up the ground around the wild dog Taoist. Unexpectedly, the more you looked at it, the more something went wrong, Xiaohuan swept out a circle with a radius of about five feet around the body of the wild dog Taoist, then abandoned the wooden stick, and walked back slowly, with a little bit of grief on his face, but A little more determination.
Seeing that Xiaohuan seemed to have a strange expression, Zhou Yixian took a few steps forward and said, "Xiaohuan, what are you doing?"
Xiaohuan whispered: "I want to save him!"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Yixian was shocked, even the man in black in the dark was shocked, and his eyes immediately fixed on Xiaohuan.
Zhou Yixian asked in astonishment, "What did you say?"
Xiaohuan's voice was still low, but what she said was very clear, saying: "I want to save him!"
Zhou Yixian shook his head and said anxiously: "Yes, Xiaohuan, I understand what you mean... No, it's not this, I mean, what method do you use to save him?"
Xiaohuan stretched out his hands to straighten the dead dog Taoist, but put his hands in a rather strange way, raised them over his shoulders, raised one hand to the sky, and clenched the palm of the other hand into a fist, and said at the same time: "The Taoist priest died to save us. , I, I can't do nothing."
Zhou Yixian's brows became more and more frowned, and when Xiaohuan straightened the two feet of Taoist Wild Dog and put his right foot under his left, his expression became even more ugly, and he suddenly said loudly: "You Are you crazy, Xiaohuan, don't tell me you want to use the 'Spirit Absorbing Technique'?"
Xiaohuan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Grandpa, I only know this thing, maybe, maybe it can really save a life?"
"Fart!" Zhou Yixian yelled at Xiaohuan so sternly for the first time, "What are you talking about? Although the 'soul collection technique' has the ability to collect souls, this method has always been a strange technique. Not to mention dangerous and unpredictable, disturbing wandering souls is a big violation of the taboo of the ghost world. Don’t you want to live? Also, this technique has always been used on living people. If the breath remains, the soul is there. You can only cast spells with this foundation, what do you do to a dead person? His soul will surely disappear if his breath is cut off. Even if you have this strange magic, where can you find his soul? Do you want to go to the endless ghosts in Jiuyou Hell? Are you looking for it?"
In the darkness, those eyes were shining brightly, as if he had suddenly discovered something unbelievable.
Xiaohuan's eyes turned red, and she cried: "Grandpa, he, he just died, maybe the soul is nearby, maybe there is still hope. If it takes a little while longer, it will really be hopeless."
Zhou Yixian's face turned pale, and he strode up to Xiaohuan, pulled her up, and said in a deep voice, "Xiaohuan, let me tell you, stop delusional. I know what you're thinking. Back then you Relying on my own ability, I took back the soul of your sister Jin Ping'er who was about to disperse, but let me tell you, that time was different from now. I repeat, this spell is to be used on living people, and this time Waiting for ghosts and different spells to cause great damage to yin and virtue. Back then, you only rescued Jin Ping'er once, and you have already lost your yang life for one year. Now if you do something reckless, it's hard to say whether it will be successful to cast spells on this dead person. At least you have destroyed yourself first. The foundation of Taoism, Yangshou is probably going to be more than 20 years. Have you thought about it clearly?"
In the last few sentences, Zhou Yixian almost uttered the words in a roar. Xiaohuan was also stunned for a moment, she was in the mood for youth, it was nonsense to say that she was not afraid of death, but facing the wild dog Taoist lying on the ground, no matter how hard she was, but when she thought of the terrible consequences, she seemed to be out of breath .
The atmosphere in the arena froze for a moment, and after a while, Zhou Yixian slowed down his tone, and said softly: "Xiaohuan, fate is determined by God, and no one can change it. It seems that God wants the wild dog to die today." Yes, we have buried him, and we are doing him a favor, okay?"
The expression on Xiaohuan's face changed, and from time to time a struggling expression flashed by. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Grandpa, his fate is not determined by God."
Zhou Zhouxian looked at Xiaohuan's face, his heart sank, he gave a dry laugh, and said, "What?"
Xiaohuan took a deep breath, and resolutely said: "The fate of the Taoist priest is determined by himself. He himself desperately rushed to save us, so he passed away unfortunately. If he turned around and left, where in the world would he be so happy?" It's not a place where he can settle down." The girl's face was pale and sad, and she whispered: "So, he died for us, without him, we would have died long ago, how can we talk about longevity here? "
She looked at Zhou Yixian, Zhou Yixian didn't know why, but looked away.
"Grandpa, I want to save him. No matter how dangerous this technique is, it can't compare to what he encountered just now to save us, right?"
She was categorical.
Zhou Yixian knew that she had made up her mind and could not change it, so she could only look up to the sky and sigh. As for the man in the darkness, his eyes were on Xiaohuan at this moment, shining and shining brightly.
※※※
In the woods, it was late at night, and the air was very cloudy.
In the twilight, that strange spell unfolded slowly.
The first drop of blood dripped from the opening cut on Xiaohuan's white arm, and slowly fell beside Taoist Wild Dog, and then, Xiaohuan surrounded Taoist Wild Dog, using his own blood, dripping down beside Taoist Wild Dog Come on, watch her wrist slowly shake, and the dripping blood slowly forms a weird pattern on the ground.
In the dense forest, as the blood-red pattern gradually took shape, ghost cries could be faintly heard. Zhou Zhouxian stood watching, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly. And the man in black who had been watching this scene for a long time in the shadows suddenly frowned at this moment.
It was as if he had seen this scene somewhere!
great wizard...
The man in black couldn't help but trembled slightly!
The blood formation that Xiaohuan is currently deploying is obviously somewhat similar to that day when the great wizard rescued Baguio in Huqi Mountain, but after Xiaohuan circled around for a week, the formation was formed, and the man in black could already see it. There is still a difference between the cloth formation and the great wizard. Among other things, the scale of the formation alone is much smaller, perhaps all of them use blood as a medium, and Xiaohuan cuts his veins for blood alone, so naturally he cannot be compared with the great wizard of that day.
Perhaps it was also because of this reason that Xiaohuan's totem pattern was much simpler than that of the great wizard, but even so, after a circle, Xiaohuan was already crumbling and pale.
Without saying a word, Zhou Yixian went up to support Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan was a little weak, turned around and smiled at him, then slowly sat down on the top of the formation, which was three feet in front of the head of Taoist Wild Dog.
In the secluded dense forest, suddenly a ghostly roar rose out of thin air, and in an instant the whole forest screamed again and again, and the dark energy swept over. Gusty winds, blowing from all directions, swayed the surrounding trees. Behind all the shadows of the branches, there seemed to be countless cold eyes watching here.
Xiaohuan looked solemn, slowly closed her eyes, clasped her white hands on her chest, and chanted a mysterious spell in a low voice. After a while, her slender palm spread out on her chest, slowly lowered it, and put it into the pattern of a pool of blood in front of her. .
All the blood patterns surrounding Taoist Wild Dog's body suddenly lit up all of a sudden, and all the blood seemed to have suddenly gained life, and began to flow within the patterns. At the same time, Xiaohuan's originally pale complexion suddenly became strangely black.
The dark wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the entire dense forest seemed to be dark at this moment, only the magic circle began to shine. The lively blood, like the most delicious delicacy, attracted countless ghosts.
The expression on Zhou Yixian's face became more and more worried. He knew very well the danger of this soul-absorbing thaumaturgy. Just imagine, how dangerous it would be for ordinary people to snatch souls from the underworld. However, Xiaohuan was hindering her practice, and she only cast spells within the dense forest, so the influence was barely large, and it would not alarm those powerful guardians of the underworld. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable to accidentally be targeted.
It's just that looking at it now, it seems that it's just this type of formation, and Xiaohuan feels a little too much, but seeing her face getting darker and darker, her body also began to tremble. One must know that casting spells this time is different from her treatment of Jin Ping'er back then, Jin Ping'er's soul has not dissipated, so it is much easier to collect the remaining souls by relying on this. That day when the great wizard rescued Baguio in Huqi Mountain, although the formation was much larger, it actually relied on the remnants of Baguio's soul ingested from the strange treasure "Acacia Bell". The soul was taken back. But it was precisely because of this that the great wizard firstly ran out of energy, and secondly, he also alarmed the guardians of the underworld, was backlashed by the ghost power of the underworld, and finally died.
And this time, Xiaohuan is practicing the most weird and difficult thaumaturgy in the ghost way with superficial skills, and lacks the most crucial soul. Soul, but the danger in it is already very unimaginable.
Those two beast monsters did not know how many lives they killed here, nor did they know how many wronged souls hovered here and failed to die. And Xiaohuan set up this formation, but it is clear that he wants to take a soul into this body, how can this prevent all ghosts from going crazy
For a moment, the situation changed, and countless looming black air scrambled towards Xiaohuan. The pain on Xiaohuan's face became more and more serious, and his complexion was almost completely covered by the black air.
Looking at it like this, I'm afraid Xiaohuan won't be able to hold on for long, but for some reason, she still refuses to give up, so many ghosts and ghosts hover around her, crying ghosts, begging endlessly, or forcing each other fiercely, all kinds of things, this All the evils of pain and despair in the world seemed to be piercing into her mind, but Xiaohuan was still struggling to hold on, using her remaining spiritual power to search for it in the endless sea of grievances.
If I fail this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance again!
Zhou Yixian was already drenched in sweat, but he didn't dare to disturb Xiaohuan, so he could only walk around the ground, sighing. And the figure in the dark shadow, although surrounded by ghostly auras, he didn't seem to care at all. On the contrary, those ghostly auras seemed to be a little afraid of him, and stayed away from him. At this moment, the man in black stared at Xiaohuan without blinking, and nodded involuntarily. After a long time, there came a soft voice that only he could hear, and said in a low voice: "How is it possible, this The young woman is so talented in the way of ghosts... Under such circumstances, she can still hold on. If there is a master of the way of ghosts to point out, given time, it will be fine..."
In the voice, he unexpectedly showed a bit of hesitation for no reason.
At this moment, Xiaohuan's face full of blackness in the field suddenly showed a look of joy, the right hand that was soaked in the pool of blood suddenly stretched out, grabbed it in the air, then put it down quickly, and grabbed the wild dog Taoist right hand. Immediately afterwards, she also stretched out her left hand from the pool of blood, grabbing at the void as usual, suddenly, ghostly ghosts all over the sky screamed loudly, as if they were all caught in an unstoppable rage, ghostly like iron, instantly Black air enveloped the room, completely surrounding Xiaohuan's body.
Outside the magic circle, the trees within three feet were withered, as if they couldn't bear the boundless ferocity.
Zhou Yixian was shocked and at a loss what to do, only to see Xiaohuan panting heavily, trying to put her left hand on the right of the wild dog Taoist several times, but the endless black air surrounded her thickly, ghost howling again and again, gusts of wind, as if there was a The force made her unable to press down. And Xiaohuan's complexion became more and more ugly, her body trembled, and blood began to flow from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that the magic circle was about to burn everything, Zhou Yixian was in a hurry, and was about to rush over to pull Xiaohuan away from the magic circle. Although he didn't know what the consequences would be, it was always good to stay away from those ghosts. Unexpectedly, before he moved, a black shadow suddenly stood in front of him. Zhou Yixian was taken aback. Looking at it at this moment, the man in black seemed to be similar to the ghosts around him.
Hearing the hoarse voice of the man in black, he said coldly: "If you want your granddaughter to survive, you just stand there obediently and don't move."
After all, the black shadow flashed, and the man in black had already appeared around Xiaohuan and the strange magic circle. Not to mention, he waved his arms again and again, and black things flew out of his hands, "Pu Ba Ba" broke through the ground and inserted around the magic circle.
Those things looked dark, like iron but not iron, and I couldn't tell what they were, but once these things were inserted into the soil of the magic circle, suddenly the blood in the magic circle seemed to be affected by some external force, and the speed of the rushing speed doubled almost instantly The above is like boiling. A red light shines from above the magic circle, covering Xiaohuan's body.
This layer of red light seems to be particularly useful for the surrounding ghosts and ghosts. All of a sudden, the ghosts backed away. Under the cover of red light, Xiaohuan's complexion quickly returned to normal. Immediately, he pressed down his left hand stretched in mid-air, and grabbed the wild dog. Taoist left hand.
At the moment when Xiaohuan held the wild dog's arm, there was only a slight cracking sound, and a dark red light started from the palm of the wild dog Taoist, extending downward like lightning, and spread all over the wild dog Taoist's body in a blink of an eye. Daoist Dog's whole body lit up, and after a while, it went dark again and returned to normal.
At that moment, Xiaohuan managed to open his eyes, staring closely at the front, the wild dog Taoist's head tilted suddenly, and he let out a breath.
Xiaohuan was overjoyed, his mind relaxed, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he passed out.
