Chapter 48: Red Thatch
My glasses had already been knocked off, and at this moment I felt that my eyes were very hot, as if they were being burned by flames, and I got up from the pit with my unconscious body, and looked at my mother who was looking at me dumbfounded, I don't know why they looked at me so surprised, maybe they saw my dead soul!
After all, I thought so at the time, and the ghost king who was attached to the Taoist priest's body looked at him in surprise, "You...
I stumbled towards him, and he seemed to be scared of me, saying "Impossible, how can I not die..."
When he attacked, I was able to take the attack with ease, holding his fist with one hand and twisting it outward, and suddenly his whole body was twisted by me, kicking him away. Picking up the seal book that fell to the ground, at this moment, he came to me, when I raised my eyes to stare at his fist that was about to hit me, for some reason my eyes sank, and the moment I raised my eyebrows, the Taoist priest's body turned into ashes and disappeared.
--------
Half a month later, I was playing on the swing in the yard of my home, I looked up at the blue sky, and then looked at my hands and feet intact, not even a trace of scratches on the epidermis, I believed that the scene of the battle with the ghost king possessed by the Taoist priest in the forest park that day was ------ a dream, just like the dream that I had before.
And my mother is still the same as always, they said that I had been asleep in that dream for more than half a month, and when I woke up, Yuehao was furious and said that she was going to deduct my salary or something.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Xiaoyu stood behind me, his voice as gentle as ever, touching my head with his big palm, and smiling at me dotingly.
"Look at you, Brother Xiaoyu, I've dreamed for so long, I thought I was really dead."
"Why! Dreams aren't real, don't think about it," he pushed my back, and the swing slowly swung.
"Yes, Brother Xiaoyu, shall we go out? Mom has locked me up for so long, and if I don't go out, I will get moldy."
"No, if Auntie gets mad, I won't be able to live here, obedient"
I took a deep breath and pouted, "Okay!"
At night, lying on the bed, I was too bored, I got up to make some exorcismal talismans, and suddenly found that my mana had improved a lot, which surprised me to surprise, knocked on Yuehao's door, and smiled at him, "Moon maniac, my mana has improved, hehe! I will soon be able to catch up with you."
Yue Hao looked stunned at first, and then snorted coldly, "Cut, how can you catch up with me like a stupid woman, you can dream!"
"Bang"
The door was rudely closed by him, and I pouted and kicked his door, "Hmph, what's so great about you, this girl can really catch up with you, wait"
The next night, we were watching TV in the living room, and suddenly my mother solemnly said, "Xiaoyi, tomorrow you and your mother will go to a place to get thatch"
I stared at my mother in amazement, "Thatch?"
"That's right, that's a magic weapon that can completely destroy the sealed ghost king.,It is said that only the thatch that is red can have the power to destroy the soul of the ghost king.,And I heard that it grows in the ancient tomb.,It's the treasure of a certain general's tomb."
As far as I know, ordinary thatch has a certain effect on warding off evil spirits, and I have never heard of the red thatch that grows in ancient tombs, "Then we are going to dig people's graves?"
Mother nodded, "It's not counting, it's just taking the red thatch"
"But, after all, that's what if it's not? If the state finds out, we'll all have to go to jail, Mom, let's see if there's any other way! I'm uncomfortable just digging someone's grave," I said, rubbing goosebumps from my body.
My mother rejected me, "No, if he shows up, we don't have time at all, we have to finish it as soon as possible, if you don't go, just stay at home honestly"
Staring at my mother's resolute attitude, I sighed and finally decided to go along.
At night, I sat at the table and looked at my grandmother's diary, when I opened the pages that I had not finished reading before, it actually recorded the thrilling journey of my grandmother looking for red thatch, and when I finished reading the rest, I breathed deeply, "Grandma has been looking for decades and has not found it, can we find it?
"Knock..."
There was a knock on my door, I put away my diary, and when I opened the door, I saw Yuehao with her hands in her pockets, looking at me with a look of wanting to say something, "Uh・・・・・・"
Glancing at him, I impatiently said, "Moon madman, say whatever you want."
"I want to go tomorrow too..."
"Isn't Mom going to give it to you?"
"So, you just give it, multiple people have multiple insurances, not to mention, I can still protect you stupid woman"
"Brother Xiaoyu won't go, you two should not go, maybe we will come back soon" Yes, when we were discussing, Yuehao and Gu Xiaoyu, who came back suddenly, heard it, and before they could speak, their mother rejected them.
"Anyway, I know how to get there, good night stupid woman, be careful on the road"
Looking at Yuehao's seemingly relaxed back, at the moment I closed the door, Gu Xiaoyu's figure appeared in my field of vision, but he did not come to me, but with a strange face, which was the most solemn and dignified face I have ever seen, and I followed him quietly inexplicably in the strange night atmosphere.
Went down the first floor, out of the door of the living room, in the courtyard, it was pitch black, I couldn't see where Gu Xiaoyu's figure was at all, I glanced around and suddenly I saw a black shadow that disappeared out of thin air from the top of the courtyard, and suddenly I exclaimed, "Ah~"
Although I have dealt with many ghosts and monsters, and I am a veritable mage, I was still frightened by the action of instinctive reaction, because I felt a strange aura, at this time, Gu Xiaoyu walked towards me, under the dark night sky, I don't know how he saw me clearly, he picked me up without saying anything, and returned me to the room with only six words, "Girl, rest early"
Soon, I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next day, I had no idea of the mysterious figure of the previous night and the mysterious strange smell, which I only learned later.
On the way to the countryside, in addition to enjoying the scenery along the way, I was eating, and even Ouyang Yutian, who was taciturn towards me, was making fun of me for being a foodie and a pig.
