Chapter 40: The Infant Spirit's Resentment
When I reached into my waist and stroked it, the blood axe was still lying quietly on top of me, and then I breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed my eyes sleepily.
The Blood Axe is hard to come by, and even if you eat and sleep, it can't leave my sight.
The next day, I was awakened by the sound of the door slamming down, and I opened my hazy eyes, and a dazzling ray of sunlight poured down from the window to my face, and from the height of the sun, it was already noon. Lu Zhiqi didn't wake me up when he left, it seems that he was still angry about my killing of the female ghost Xiaoyu last night, I smiled wryly, picked up the salute and ran out.
When she got downstairs, Yiyi changed into her blue and white dress again, and her hair was chest-length and placed on her left front shoulder. Yiyi's outfit today reminds me of the first time I met her, but at this time I felt about her in an indescribable way.
The two of them were sitting in the car at this time, drinking milk and nibbling on bread, looking at the pedestrians on the road with nothing to do. I can see that the ghost energy on Lu Zhiqi's body has been eliminated, needless to say that this is Yiyi's masterpiece.
In order to break the embarrassing situation, I took the lead in speaking: "Yiyi, Lu Ye is embarrassed to wait for a long time. β
After Lu Zhiqi heard my voice, he gave me an ugly look and turned his head away from me. And Yiyi sat in the car and responded to me with a sweet smile, and said, "Get in the car, this girl still has something important?"
It seems that my doubts last night were superfluous, because Yiyi's complexion was ruddy and showed no signs of ghostly erosion, but how could her words and actions last night give me an abnormal feeling?
"What's the matter?" I asked, confused.
"Where is there so much nonsense, if you want to go, you can't go, don't go and pull down. Yiyi preached to me impatiently.
I held my mouth for a while, sat behind Lu Zhiqi and didn't make a sound, Yiyi's attitude made me a little uncomfortable, because I didn't want her to mistake her for killing the female ghost Xiaoyu in order to prevent my grandfather from losing his Taoism, after all, I have a special affection for Yiyi.
"Yang Daoguan, let's talk about it, I stayed here for Yiyi, we are no longer friends from now on, and I don't want to learn Taoism from you. β
After speaking, Lu Zhiqi honked the horn twice, drove away the pedestrians who were chatting on the side of the road, and drove the motorcycle towards the outside of Moyang Town.
I wanted to explain again, but I knew that Lu Zhiqi was in a rage at this time, so I had to keep silent about last night's incident, but he said that he stayed for Yiyi, which made me feel a trace of jealousy in my heart.
Motorcycles whizz down the road with the roar of their engines, and the trees on both sides of the road move quickly behind them. Yiyi closed her eyes and fell asleep, while Lu Zhiqi was concentrating on driving the motorcycle, only I looked at Lu Zhiqi's back with a lot of thoughts, because I didn't know how to explain to him the female ghost Xiaoyu sucking his yang energy. Although I have known him for a short time, after all, in order to prevent me from being in danger alone, they resolutely accompanied me into the ghost cave.
"Yiyi, what do you think we should do now?"
Lu Zhiqi parked the car at a fork in the road and asked, I know that the one on the left is in the direction of Lunzhen, and the one on the right is the road leading to the outskirts of Lunzhen.
Yiyi opened her eyes slightly, and did not answer, but pointed to the road on the right with her hand. Lu Zhiqi drove the motorcycle to the outskirts of Lunzhen with understanding, it seems that the two of them have discussed it in advance, but they are just angry and unwilling to tell me.
After a while, the road became wider and narrower, and the flat road began to become unusually bumpy.
"Hey, I said Master Lu, Yiyi, where are we going, what are you going to do, at least tell me!" I couldn't help but want to unravel the doubts in my heart from their mouths, so I pretended to be calm and asked.
After listening to my words, Lu Zhiqi still didn't want to pay attention to me, just concentrated on driving the motorcycle, Yiyi looked up at me slightly and said: "You'll know when you arrive, I'm going to go to see them before accompanying you to the East China Sea, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I leave." β
Although Yiyi replied to my question, she didn't give much information, and the only information she gave me was to see people or things.
"God is mysterious, I don't want to say it. β
I pretended not to want to know and responded to Yiyi.
The motorcycle was still speeding on the rugged mountain road, and Lu Zhiqi didn't say a word to me the whole time, which shows how much he resented me because of my killing of the female ghost Xiaoyu.
Soon we came to a cliff path, the sides of the path were overgrown with leafy branches, and the only path was also overgrown with jagged weeds, the difference was that these weeds had been trampled on, but from the traces, this path to the depths of the mountain was not often walked.
"There is no road ahead of Yiyi, and it looks like we have to hike up the mountain. Lu Zhiqi put down the direction grip in his hand and preached to Yiyi.
"It's still some time before it gets dark, so let's get some food here and go up the hill. β
Yiyi jumped out of the car body, and she responded to Lu Zhiqi after stretching gracefully.
"Listen to you. β
Lu Zhiqi responded to Yiyi simply and got out of the car, after getting out of the car, he took out some food and water from his shoulder bag and handed it to Yiyi, obviously the food and water have nothing to do with me.
Yiyi let out a short wry laugh and handed me the food, which I was indeed a little hungry for, so I went to take it without thinking.
Just when I got the food, the food was knocked over to the ground by Lu Zhiqi's sudden slap, and I felt a little angry when I looked at the food that fell on the ground.
"What do you mean, Yiyi? Food is for people, how can you feed dogs?" Lu Zhiqi said to Yiyi proudly.
"Lu Zhiqi, you are enough, are you so angry for a female ghost?" I yelled at Lu Zhiqi.
"Who the hell said that I was for the female ghost, and the food was reserved for the needy, not for the dogs, you know? Besides, these things are bought by Lao Tzu with money, and you have to buy them yourself. After speaking, Lu Zhiqi walked away angrily.
"Heh, for the sake of you accompanying me into the ghost cave, I don't care about you, if you dare to insult me again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will split you in half now!"
I took out the blood axe from my waist as I spoke, and I wasn't joking at this time, if he really dared to insult me again, I would really lose control of my temper and hack him to death.
"Have you two had enough of arguing?"
Yiyi, who has always been gentle, also let out a rare roar at this time, her roar lowered most of the anger in my heart, Lu Zhiqi didn't make a sound after hearing Yiyi's roar, just squatted aside and angrily gnawed on the food in her hand.
Yiyi lowered her head and picked up the food on the ground and handed it to me with one hand, but I pushed it away: "The incorruptible will not be eaten!" After speaking, I walked angrily towards the path.
I walked aimlessly along the path to the depths of the mountain, and when I couldn't see Lu Zhiqi at all, I used my blood axe to split the branches on both sides of the road, found a flat ground and sat down. I wanted to relieve my anger, but the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I was obviously helping Lu Zhiqi, why did it become mine.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Zhiqi and Yiyi followed my footsteps, and I immediately got up when I saw this, but I didn't want to look at Lu Zhiqi more, because I had a grudge against him.
"Before dark, we can go into the mountains along this road, and I can go back to Wheel Town to accompany my parents as soon as I finish my errands. Said Yiyi walked quickly into the depths of the mountain.
"Yiyi, what's in the mountains, who are you going to meet?" asked again, driven by curiosity.
"Shh
Yiyi put her right index finger between her lips and made a silent gesture, and then she continued along the path without looking back, and I had to follow them a little awkwardly as I was bored.
After two hours of hiking, we came to an open field covered with hundreds of stone slabs the size of desks. The cracks of the stone slab are covered with green weeds, and at the end of the stone slab is a cliff wall, above which is carved a huge bright red charm, this charm is called the Requiem Talisman, and the Requiem Talisman shines on the stone slab below day and night, and it is not difficult to see that this is the work of a Taoist master.
Looking around at the surrounding environment, the sky has completely darkened at this time, and the night is quietly falling, and the insect holes in the mountains are crying out one after another.
Looking at the many gray slabs in front of me, for everyone's safety, I was ready to go forward to investigate, but just as I stepped on a stone slab, I was dragged back by Yiyi on the side.
"This mountain is a young baby mountain fifty miles away from the western suburbs of Lunzhen, and there is a dead soul of an infant soul buried under every stone slab! At this time, although Yiyi was holding my arm and looking at me, the corner of her eye glanced at the bluestone slab on the ground.
"Infant spirit?" I asked, puzzled.
"Yes, baby spirits. β
Yiyi didn't look at me, but responded to me with sadness.
"What does the baby spirit have to do with you?"
My intuition tells me that Yiyi has some incomprehensible connection with the infant spirit under the slate.
"These infant spirits were abandoned by their parents or stillborn in the womb before their deaths, and after their deaths, they turned into children and were not accepted by the government, and they were not accepted by the yang world, and they were lonely and miserable in the world, and they were very pitiful to be bullied by thousands of ghosts. After speaking, Yiyi let out a long sigh.
Yiyi's words made me more fond and liking her, she is so kind, if it weren't for Lu Zhiqi's quick step, I think I would definitely confess to Yiyi.
"If I'm not mistaken, you brought these infant spirits here from all over the world, and built tombs for them to have a place to live, right?" I asked at this moment, completely eliminating all preconceived prejudices and even some worship that I had had before Yiyi.
"That's right, I did these things without telling my parents, and that day in Fangba Town, I ordered the Five Ghosts to make money in preparation for the expansion of this place in the future. I never thought that three of the five ghosts were destroyed by you, and I lost the opportunity to be reincarnated, and after the three ghosts were destroyed by you, I began to reflect on my wrong behavior, so I released the other two and let them reincarnate. Yiyi preached to me with a little sadness.
"No, no, it was me who was wrong that day, I was too reckless, I'm sorry, I didn't know what you did was a good deed. β
I hurriedly confessed my mistake to Yiyi with my hands folded.
"Okay, I'm not to blame you for bringing you here today, now that you have a blood axe in your hand, it is estimated that the next step is to go to the top of the East China Sea, I just want to come and see them before traveling far. β
Yiyi turned her head and gave me a bright smile as she spoke, and her smile made me so intoxicated.
Yiyi took two steps forward after finishing her speech to me, and elegantly threw a spell into the air, her small hand waved forward, and the charm burned in the air with a loud bang, and the charm flew towards the giant requiem carved on the cliff wall under the power of Yiyi's mana.
After the spell controlled by Yiyi came into contact with the requiem talisman, a dazzling red light shone down from the cliff wall, and it was Yiyi who let the spell carved on the cliff wall be ignited.
After the bright red light of the requiem shone on the stone slab, the stone slab began to tremble violently. A baby who looked to be only four or five years old, with pigtails on his head, peeked out from under the slate, and he looked around warily.
In an instant, many infant spirits appeared one after another under the slate, but they did not expose all their bodies outside the slate, but just looked at us vigilantly from a distance.
"Don't be afraid, children, they are my friends. Yiyi leaned down and preached to the infant spirit that was spying on us. At this time, she was like a kindergarten teacher coaxing a child, and Lu Zhiqi, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly saw a baby spirit emerging from under the stone slab, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
"It's Sister Yiyi here. β
The infant spirit, which was the first to emerge, crawled out from under the stone slab and ran happily towards Yiyi. The other infant spirits who were originally a little afraid of the living saw that someone was taking the lead, and they all crawled out from under the stone slab, and they ran to Yiyi with laughter and laughter, and in an instant Yiyi was surrounded by a group of infant spirits with red belly pockets.
"Sister Yiyi, we miss you so much, did you bring your brother and brother over this time?" asked a very cute baby girl, tugging at Yiyi's long skirt.
"Of course, you are not allowed to bully him. β
After speaking, Yiyi took out a spell and opened it, a black gas burst out, and a baby boy who was about six years old with a black body was released.
According to the records of the Black Book, if the baby spirit is black and bald, it will definitely turn into a terrifying central demon, and after the yang spirit becomes stronger, it will become the ghost king of the infant spirit!
After I looked at the infant spirit released by Yiyi, I couldn't help but gasp, because I didn't know what kind of Yin Soul Mana the Ghost King would have, and even the word Ghost King I only saw in the book, thinking of this, I couldn't help but worry again.
"Wow, wow!" two childish ghost cries rang in my ears.
In a moment, the blackened infant spirit was enraged by the onlookers, and he put his small hands in front of his chest in the shape of ghost claws, opening his bloody mouth and baring his fangs to frighten the infant spirits watching him. After being intimidated by the black infant spirit, the onlookers retreated and hid.
My heart couldn't help but raise my throat, because I didn't know what kind of existence this infant spirit that Yiyi brought back, if he grew into a ghost king in the future, would Yiyi and I be able to subdue him again, and would he cause trouble in the world?
Seeing this, Yiyi walked up to the black infant spirit, bent down and said to him: "Guoguo, it can't be like this, you have to live in peace with them in the future, do you know? They are all homeless children just like you. β
The Black Infant Spirit ignored Yiyi's words, and ran directly behind Lu Zhiqi, holding Lu Zhiqi's legs and looking at us vigilantly.
"Zhiqi be careful, don't scare him, you don't have the Dao Qi in your body to restrain him, so he is not afraid of you but likes you a little. Yiyi may have been worried that Lu Zhiqi would scare the black baby spirit because of fear, and then hurriedly explained.
"He likes me?"
After listening to Yiyi's words, Lu Zhiqi relaxed his vigilance, and had the courage to pick up the black baby spirit from the ground, the black baby spirit did not resist Lu Zhiqi's actions, and took advantage of the situation to put his hands around his neck.
"Lu Zhiqi can't, this baby spirit is very resentful, he doesn't really like you, but he can sense that you are the least threat to him, and he may take your life while you are unprepared. I eagerly preached to Lu Zhiqi.
"Fuck you!"
After Lu Zhiqi finished speaking, he turned his back to me, hugged the infant spirit into his arms and trembled, maybe whatever I say now, Lu Zhiqi will be repulsed.
Yiyi saw that I was so nervous Lu Zhiqi, so he walked up to me and said, "The sword officer is not what you thinkβ’β’β’β’β’β’"
At this moment, I didn't have time to listen to Yiyi's explanation, and I pushed her away with a quick palm. Because just when Lu Zhiqi was shaking the infant spirit with his back to me, the infant spirit in his arms had already exuded a powerful ghost aura and was ready to take his life.
And all this happened to be captured by me, after Yiyi was pushed away, I strode forward, and with one hand into a claw, a strong remnant soul power turned into a blue flame, flew out of the claw, and killed the infant spirit in Lu Zhiqi's hand with one blow.
The infant spirits who were originally onlookers saw that I had killed the black infant spirits, and they scattered under the stone slabs, and the red light of the requiem charm disappeared.
I breathed a long sigh of relief when I saw the infant spirit in Lu Zhiqi's hand die, but what makes me wonder is that I just instinctively prevented the black baby spirit from killing Lu Zhiqi just now, and did not drive the power of the remnant soul, but why did the power of the remnant soul turn into a blue flame and take the initiative to attack for no reason?
I wanted to proudly tell everyone: "Now I should know that I am saving people, not deliberately killing innocents." Ke Yiyi's expression made my smug energy disappear immediately. Because at this time she opened her mouth wide and kept the posture of being pushed away by me, and she looked shocked and did not come back to her senses.
Lu Zhiqi probably also found out that the infant spirit in his hand was killed by me at this time, he clenched his fists with both arms, and his body trembled with his back to me.
"Murderer, you're fucking enough, don't you say that the baby spirit in my arms wants to take my Lu someone's life!"
Lu Zhiqi turned around and roared at me, his roar resounded through the valley, and my eardrums were about to burst.
"Whether you believe it or not, I have to tell you that the infant spirit just now is the evil baby who wanted to take your Lu Zhiqi's life, but fortunately I saved your life in time. I responded to Lu Zhiqi embarrassedly.
"Yang Daoguan, do you know how pitiful they are, what is your purpose in doing this?" Yiyi jumped up from the ground and questioned me like a shrew.
"Yiyi, it's not like this, this infant spirit has a black body and no hair is seen on his head, can't you see that he is a resentful spirit among infant spirits?"
I didn't want to lose a companion like Yiyi who sacrificed his life to save me, and besides, I had an admiration for her, so I spoke in a rather flat tone.
"Yiyi, what do you have to say to a mad murderer, he is a wild seed with a mother and no mother, and he is not a good person at first glance. Lu Zhiqi clenched his fists and roared at me viciously. At this moment he was extremely angry, but his words also completely angered me, my heart is very small, and I will never allow others to insult me like this.
"What the fuck are you talking about? Who the fuck is a wild seed that no mother raised, there's kind of you're talking about it again. β
I bit my lip tightly and restrained my actions with the last shred of reason, but my body didn't listen to the call, and I was ready to do something to Lu Zhiqi.
"It's you, what do you have to be arrogant about? Come on! Just like killing a disciple of the Netherworld Sect, I killed someone by mistake, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you, wild seed, wild seed, wild seed without mother's teaching. β
Lu Zhiqi's words made my brain blank, and the taste of being insulted made me give up my last sanity, at this moment I was like a demon who had gone mad, frantically driving the power of the remnant soul of the whole body, and kicked Lu Zhiqi in the air.
Yiyi, who had a premonition, obviously knew my next move, maybe she knew that Lu Zhiqi, who did not have a Dao protection body, would be killed instantly by my blow! Yiyi, who was quick-eyed, instantly released a powerful Dao Qi, and after the Dao Qi was released from Yiyi's body, a white Dao Qi shield was formed.
She stood in front of Lu Zhiqi, although Yiyi's Taoism was stronger than mine, but after all, the power of my remnant soul had been growing exponentially, the moment my foot touched the shield, the shield broke, and inertia took Yiyi and Lu Zhiqi together for dozens of meters away, and finally smashed heavily on the cliff wall engraved with the requiem charm.
At the moment, I only have Lu Zhiqi in my eyes, and I am really relieved by this kick, and my heart is much more comfortable.
A gust of wind blew, and my blank brain regained some consciousness. Thinking of Yiyi not hesitating to sacrifice his life to save me under the bridge, thinking of Lu Zhiqi being so greedy for life and afraid of death but also going into the ghost cave with me, and so on all the good things they have in the past. I'm starting to regret itβ’β’β’β’β’β’
I slapped myself in remorse and ran wildly towards the place where they had fallen.
But when I ran into the place where the two of them fell, I found that a large amount of blood had flowed from the corners of Yiyi and Lu Zhiqi's mouths, and I checked the pulse of the two of them, and there was no sign of life!
"Oh my God, Yang Daoguan, you really are a murderer, and this time you killed your companion!" I roared madly at the sky.
"No, no, I have to save them, Yiyi, Zhiqi, you hold on, I will definitely save you, the black book records that people can return their souls before they die, but how to return their souls?"
The more anxious I was, the more my brain went blank, and I couldn't figure out how to record the resurrection.
"Calm down, calm down, Yang Daoguan, you must be calm, the black-skinned secretary you usually carry comes in handy, what do you say?" I muttered to myself, and at this moment I saw an unformed soul floating out of Yiyi's body.
"Don't, Yiyi, don't! Go back, I'll find a way to save you." As soon as I finished speaking, a soul floated out of Lu Zhiqi's body.
"No, don't go. β
At this point, I couldn't think of anything but yelling, and my mind went blank and I didn't know what to do next, so I could only watch the two souls drift away into the distance.
At this moment, a black gas rushed into the sky in front of my eyes, and they split into two and dragged back the two souls that were about to float away, which were Zuo Yingqiu and Xu Siqing behind the doppelganger.
"Young master, quickly seal their souls with a charm. Xu Siqing locked Lu Zhiqi's soul with a ghost qi and said to me eagerly.
"Yes, Soul Sleeper. β
After being reminded by Xu Siqing, I took out my schoolbag and tried to find it, but apart from my fucking pants and my father's relics, there were no other charms!
"Don't look for the young master, Miss Yiyi's backpack has a paintbrush and paper, you still have time to paint now, if their souls take shape after a while, it will be too late to attract the yin of the underworld. β
Zuo Yingqiu was like flying a kite, dragging Yiyi's soul with his ghostly energy, fluctuating back and forth, and he seemed to be even more anxious than me at this time.
I was instantly awakened by Zuo Yingqiu's words, and quickly groped in Yiyi's backpack, found paper and cinnabar, trembled my trembling hands, and drew dozens of times before I could barely draw two soul talismans. In the end, it was difficult to seal the unformed souls of Yiyi and Lu Zhiqi in the spell, because only by preserving the souls of the two of them could they have a chance to resurrect them. I was sweating profusely, and I breathed a long sigh of relief at this time.
This place is not far from Lunzhen, and since I have never used the soul restoration technique, in order to be sure, I decided to take Yiyi and Zhiqi's bodies to ask Uncle Zhu for help first.
At this time, I didn't care about hiding any remnant soul power, so I carried the flesh of the two of them, and with the power of the remnant soul, I quickly ran in the direction of Wheel Town. The power of the remnant soul has undergone a qualitative change in my body since last night, several times faster than that of a mechanical motorcycle.
On the way to Uncle Zhu's house, I had only one belief in my heart, that is, I hoped to resurrect the two of them through the art of resurrection, and it was unknown whether they could be resurrected or notβ’β’β’β’β’β’
