Chapter 43: The Ghost Strikes the Wall
Bai Yunxi didn't care about the white hibiscus, and walked all the way forward, jumping and jumping, as if he was in a very good mood. Innocent and splendid, she is like a ten-year-old child at this time, and she has lost her usual nasty.
It's just that this naivety is also to attract her into the trap, right?
Bai Mujin thought like this, her pace gradually slowed down, and Mama Rui quietly pulled the hem of her clothes and said in a low voice: "Master, it's better not to continue walking!"
"It's okay, if you don't go, someone will definitely be disappointed!" Bai Mujian replied with a smile, without fear, with a fearless spirit of knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring tigers to go to the mountains.
Mama Rui shook her head and persuaded: "Master, you don't have to risk your life, we have many ways to deal with them!"
"I know, I just want them to know clearly that any conspiracy is ineffective in the face of absolute strength, and I have the strength to thwart all conspiracies!" Bai Mujian's eyes were extremely firm, and there was always a light smile on the corner of his mouth, which was an attitude of no concern at all, as if everything in this world was not worth caring about.
Mama Rui had a feeling of palpitations, she suddenly felt that the girl in front of her was so crazy, she seemed to be able to put aside her own life, just to trample the enemy under her feet.
She no longer spoke, as a qualified subordinate, she must not question the orders of her master, she always remembered this, so since the day she recognized Bai Hibiscus, she had taken her will as her own, even though the keen sense cultivated by years of palace struggle made her know that great danger awaited her, and she did not hesitate.
As he walked, Bai Yunxi's footsteps suddenly accelerated, and he ran all the way, gradually disappearing from the field of vision of several people, and then heard a scream in front of him.
The mandarin duck and the magpie were shocked, and subconsciously protected Bai Mujian's body, and the mandarin duck said nervously: "Miss, what to do, she seems to have an accident!"
A cold glint appeared in Bai Mujian's eyes, it was not dark yet, could it be that the Lu clan was planning to do it so soon? Unlikely, what the hell is Bai Yunxi doing?
"Go and take a look, don't be accused of not being saved!" Even if she knew that Bai Yunxi had set a trap for her, she couldn't retreat now, since the Lu family had worked hard to lay out, she would never give her a chance to retreat, she believed that even if she went back now, the Lu family would definitely come to her as soon as possible.
The magpie flattened his mouth unhappily and said, "Miss, she is also to blame for her accident, why do you run so fast alone, what if we are involved in the past?
Bai Mujin smiled with satisfaction, the two girls Magpie and Mandarin Duck have always only served her as the master, and the lives of others are not important in their eyes, this is the partner she needs.
She shook her head and said: "If we go back like this, and Bai Yunxi is injured by then, then all the responsibility is mine, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger!"
Bai Mujin resolutely moved forward, and Mama Rui and the two girls also followed, even if the road ahead was dangerous, they had to accompany the eldest lady to go down.
But I didn't expect to go to the depths of the bamboo forest, and I didn't see Bai Yunxi's figure, and when I looked around, there was no trace left by Bai Yunxi, so she quietly disappeared into the bamboo forest.
"Eldest Miss, we have searched around, but we have not found any trace of the second Miss, maybe she has gone back from other directions, I see that it is getting darker and darker, let's go back quickly!" The mandarin duck said worriedly, the light in the bamboo forest was already dim, it was twilight before they came, and after such a while, they couldn't even see the way back.
Bai Mujin was also worried that unexpected things would happen if she continued to consume it, and she also knew that Bai Yunxi would be fine, so she had to make plans early, so she said, "Okay, let's go back!"
Several people walked back in the direction they came, but the more they walked, the more they felt that something was wrong, they spent a lot of time, but they did not even get out of the bamboo forest, and after half an hour, the sky was completely dark, and Bai Hibiscus finally found that they were still circling in circles.
"Mama Rui......" Bai Muhibiscus called in a low voice, she knew that this time the Lu family must have invited a master, and they probably walked into a maze.
Mama Rui secretly grabbed Bai Muhibiscus's hand, and her calm and kind voice conveyed the power to calm people's hearts: "Master, no matter what, the old slave is still here!"
Bai Hibiscus has lived for two lives and is the first time she has encountered such a situation, the dangerous situation in her previous life did not make her panic, but this time is different, if she encounters a master to deal with her, then she is completely unfamiliar with the formation, how can she get out?
Even if she finally walks out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the situation in the temple, and not returning all night is a crime that cannot be cleared away for any woman, as long as the Lu family confirms her crime, then it will be difficult for her to turn over.
Time is very precious to her now, and she must break through the maze in the shortest possible time and return to the guest room.
"Miss, don't be afraid, even if the mandarin duck and the magpie fight for their lives, they will protect you!" The two girls surrounded Bai Muhibiscus with solemn faces, protecting her in the most central position.
Mama Rui carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then said: "This should not be the array laid by the lady, she doesn't have that ability, but she just happened to be used by her, the old slave once heard that there are often rumors that people behind Xiangguo Temple encounter ghosts hitting the wall, and thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect that there were already masters in this formation, every sunset, the formation will be triggered, and the next day dawn can safely go out!"
Bai Mujian frowned, she had heard this rumor in her previous life, she just thought it was someone else telling the story, but she didn't expect it to be true, Lu was afraid that he had already verified the truth of this rumor, so he deliberately laid a trap and waited for her to drill it.
"But I can't wait until dawn!" Bai Muhibiscus's eyes were clear, without the slightest panic, she observed the situation around her, and they turned around for half an hour within a range of more than ten meters, there must have been something misleading them at a critical time.
"Mandarin ducks, magpies, you tear off the clothes on your bodies, tie a knot in the bamboo with every step you take, leave a mark, and carve a mark on the pillar with a hairpin, I don't believe you can still spin in place!" Bai Mu Hibiscus pondered for a moment, and then made a countermeasure.
The mandarin duck and the magpie were suddenly overjoyed, and without hesitation tore the hem of their dresses, and the four of them walked extremely carefully, tying a mark to every other bamboo, but after a stick of incense, Bai Hibiscus found that he had walked back to the same place, and the first bamboo tied with a strip of cloth was in front of him, swinging in the wind, as if laughing at her innocence.
"Damn, Miss, did we really encounter a ghost hitting the wall?" the magpie was both frightened and angry, looked at the strip of cloth that he had tied with his own hands, and kicked the bamboo in hatred.
Bai Hibiscus didn't answer her, just thinking carefully about how to get out.
The magpie said helplessly: "Miss, why don't we shout, maybe someone will pass by and come to save us!"
"No, I'm afraid that the call is not a savior but a bad star, the Lu family is intent on putting me to death, I'm afraid that if we go out before she calculates, what awaits us is the executioner with a butcher's knife in his hand!" Bai Hibiscus's bright eyes shone more and more in the darkness, even if he was in danger, he was still calm and calm, and his mind clearly analyzed the situation he was about to face.
The magpie collapsed to the ground in a dejected manner, almost crying: "The Lu family is really ruthless, she actually used such a poisonous trick to deal with Miss, what kind of black heart did she have!"
Mama Rui also sighed heavily, although she had experienced strong winds and waves, she couldn't help but feel tricky at the moment, if this kind of maze was not a person who was proficient in formation, I am afraid it would be difficult to get out.
"Master, for the sake of today's plan, we must find out the formation as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid it will really have to wait until dawn!" Mama Rui's voice was a little heavy.
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled bitterly, how can they, the weak female streamers, know what the array eye is, even if there is a row of silver needles in their sleeves now, they are powerless in the face of the towering bamboo.
"Miss, I heard that if you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, you can break it with blood, and the mandarin duck is willing to cut his hand and break the formation for the young lady!"
Bai Muhibiscus hurriedly stopped her, snatched her hairpin down, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be stupid, this is all nonsense, we didn't encounter a ghost hitting the wall, this is a formation, even if you dry up blood, you can't solve it!"
When the mandarin duck heard this, his face became even more sad, and his tears fell unconsciously, and he said with twelve points of sadness: "If you can exchange the life of the slave maid for the safety of the young lady, and the slave and the maid will never give up, how can this be? I don't believe it, if you don't believe it, you have to be trapped here, and if you don't go back, she will definitely make a fuss, and when the time comes, the young lady will not be able to wash it away when she jumps into the Yellow River!"
Bai Mujin grabbed her shoulder, patted her gently, and comforted: "It's okay, don't mess around, you have to believe in the endless road, if you want to harm me, I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
When a few people were at a loss, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching not far away, which seemed so abrupt in the quiet bamboo forest, and the sound of dead leaves being trampled on, there was a sense of horror.
The magpie was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up, and was about to shout for help, but was hurriedly gagged by Mama Rui, and warned in her ear in a low voice: "The person who came doesn't know whether he is friend or foe, and he shouts indiscriminately, don't you want to die?"
The magpie's eyes widened, and his heart fluttered wildly, and he walked up to Bai Muhibiscus, and asked in a non-dominant manner, "Miss, what should I do? What if the person who comes is a bad person?"
"Don't be afraid, hurry up and take off these strips of cloth nearby, and then hide!" Bai Muhibiscus quickly gave the order, and also followed to help pick the strips of cloth, those people, whether they were friends or foes, would definitely follow the strips of cloth, but they must not be allowed to find themselves first.
After picking off several strips of cloth, hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, several people hurriedly hid in a place where the small bamboo was dense, holding their breath and waiting quietly.
After a while, I saw someone walking in with a torch, and he was dressed in black, covered with cloth.
Bai Muhibiscus sneered in her heart, the Lu family really looked up to her so much that they even sent nearly seven or eight men to round her up, knowing that they were just four weak women, it seemed that she not only wanted to ruin her reputation, but also wanted her life!
"Boss, the strip of cloth is gone here, and I don't know where the women have gone, how can I find this black light!" complained a rough man.
The man known as the boss glared at him and said, "It has to be found, hehe...... I heard that although the eldest lady of the Bai family is not very old, she has already appeared in a stunning appearance, and we will have a good fortune tonight!"
Several of the men let out lewd laughter when they heard this, as if their prey was already fat on their mouths.
"Boss, we have taken over a good deal this time, not only with silver to earn, but also with beauties, what a big fat meat that fell from the sky, tsk...... I heard that there are two delicate little maids beside that young lady, and how about you play with that young lady first and reward me with a girl later?" A lean man with extremely obscene eyes salivated.
The boss glanced at him, snorted, and said, "If you don't have any chance, find someone first, and then talk about it, whoever finds it first, the maid will reward whoever you want first!"
When those men heard this, their eyes were green, and they howled like hungry wolves, and groped around with torches, and none of them wanted to be robbed of their first credit.
