37. Shadow 3

Xia Yuan didn't come forward, his eyes quickly swept the wooden house, there was a thick flower curtain in front of the central wooden house, and on both sides were hugging houses, and the strong men who chased him last time rushed out of it.

He observed for a moment, and suddenly asked from a distance, "Old man, is your daughter there?"

For the first time, the old woman raised her head and stared at him with cloudy eyes, her eyes full of curiosity, as if she had seen a person who was obviously dead, but still standing alive in front of her.

A hoarse voice sounded, "What are you looking for her?"

Xia Yuan looked at the old woman, played with the look in her eyes, and added the previous divination results, and suddenly smiled: "I miss her." ”

"Miss her?"

Xia Yuandao: "I forgot to introduce myself, I am the first beautiful man in the East China Sea, although I can't prove it now, it shouldn't be long before I can do it." ”

Woman: ......

Xia Yuan took two steps closer.

The old woman suddenly said: "There are many strong men in my troupe, you don't have to come back." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "In addition to a wooden house, a cemetery, and you alone, is there anything else?"

The old woman was stunned, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xia Yuan looked at her with a smile.

The old woman was silent for a few minutes, she looked around mechanically, and then looked up at the warm skylight, and then she opened her mouth, and her voice completely changed, becoming the voice of a young woman: "We have half an hour to speak, and if it is more than half an hour, it may not be me, but it." ”

Xia Yuan said: "Tell me, what's going on, maybe I can help you." ”

The old woman sighed, "It's looking for you." ”

"Who are you?"

"The hostess of the Haijia Village Shadow Puppet Troupe, but I am the only one left in the whole troupe, and everyone else has been killed by it, it needs me to continue to make leather, and it needs me to perform, it gives me endless energy, but it also binds me and makes me suffer day and night. ”

"Do you want to be rescued?"

"No... I can't even kill myself. ”

"Who is it?"

"It's not who it is... It... It's not human at all. The old woman's voice was full of terror, "At first, it was the appearance of a lost traveler, we came from the west, somehow, we took it in in a ghost, saying that we wanted to take it for a ride, and then terrible things began to happen, and the people of my troupe disappeared one by one, and then..."

She was already a little frightened.

"Are you from the Western Shadow Country?"

"In the village near Xiyou, because of the great natural disaster in Xiyou, everyone is fleeing. ”

"What natural disaster?"

"I don't know, the West Shadow has become a strange domain, an unprecedentedly huge strange domain... A country has become a realm of treachery, and there may be many living people in it, but they can't get out. ”

Xia Yuan: ......

"Take me to it, and I'll help you get free. ”

The old woman trembled, "You can't deal with it at all." ”

Xia Yuan: "Then take me to see it, but I only need to see one of them, do you have a way?"

The old woman thought for a moment, "Yes, you follow me into the house." ”

So saying, the old woman put down the scraping bones in her hand, put her dry hands on the coarse cloth clothes and wiped them, and turned around and walked towards the dirty door of the wooden house.

Xia Yuan picked up a leaf casually, nodded his eyebrows, and silently recited "follow her into the house" in his heart, and the result in his heart was:

- Invalid divination.

Xia Yuan's eyes narrowed.

The second divination was carried out as quickly as possible, and the bottom of my heart silently recited "stay here", and the result immediately jumped out of my heart:

- Invalid divination.

The old woman was moving forward slowly, as if she felt that the person behind her did not follow, and urged a little: "Come, come along, come here, when you get to the house, I can take you to find it." ”

Xia Yuan already understood.

The old woman herself didn't know, so she said, "It's not her in half an hour", but it wasn't like that at all.

I went to the play with my little sister before, and I made a divination, and it showed that the result was auspicious, because this woman was not a strange force, so it was naturally auspicious.

Before this departure, another divination was made, because the old woman was a woman in the troupe, and she put on a layer of painted skin, and this woman herself was eager to break free, and she would cooperate with herself from the bottom of her heart, so the divination result was still auspicious.

However, when she first divined, she was no longer her, but it, so it was displayed as "invalid divination".

Obviously, the terrifying shadow puppet can quietly replace her,

If I hadn't done this divination again, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how I died.

So, can you get into the house or not?

If you go in, then if there are still nearly a hundred shadow puppets sweeping, then in a small area, you can't even hide, and it is difficult to lock, so you will completely enter a grave.

Xia Yuan's eyes swept around, and at some point, the feeling of distortion of the distant scenery appeared again.

Everything is like a film of water, completely separating this place from the outside world.

All the sounds in the distance seemed ethereal and ethereal, as if they were coming from out of the sky, vague and completely inaudible.

"Come in. ”

The old woman had already lifted the curtain and was urging.

Behind the curtain, there was a bleak darkness, like an entrance to the netherworld.

Xia Yuan didn't move.

The old woman's voice suddenly changed, becoming sharp and thin.

"Come in. ”

Xia Yuan still didn't move.

The voice suddenly became hoarse, giving people a strange roaring feeling, as if countless voices were mixed together, shouting "come in".

In the next scene, Xia Yuan only saw that the old woman's painting skin was directly peeled off, presenting a strange scene, and many shadow puppets flowed out under the old woman's trousers.

It can't wait.

Xia Yuan didn't talk nonsense, he directly entered the hermit state, and his body was "invisible" in place, as long as he didn't make any big moves, or was unlucky enough to collide with the shadow puppet, then he still played his own game.

You can't catch me, and I can't lock you up.

In the afternoon sun, in this gloomy and treacherous realm, nearly a hundred shadow puppets were scurrying.

Sticking to the ground.

Drilling in the cracks of doors and windows.

Swimming on the wall.

It's hell on earth.

But Xia Yuan didn't enter the house, and the open space here was huge, and the shadow puppet couldn't catch him at all.

And he was also thinking about how to lock on to the strongest one.

After thinking about it for a long time, I really couldn't figure it out.

After waiting for a stick of incense, the shadow puppets seemed to understand, and they all swam back into the old woman's trousers.

Then the old woman stood in the shadows, unmoving, staring blankly ahead with a pair of miserable eyes.

Xia Yuan still couldn't get it.

Locking her up, isn't that the end?

But if she is locked up, she is just locked up as an ordinary controlled old woman, then she will be finished directly.

This time, he figured out the cause and effect, but he still didn't know what to do.

There is no way to take the other.

Both are also unable to find each other.

If whoever can find it first, then whoever can kill the other person in an instant.

Xia Yuan felt that this matter was really in a hurry, after all, he felt that "this strange power chaos god can kill a student of the fourfold realm of the earth lock in seconds" is quite reliable.

But now that the goal has been set, and the other party's abilities and characteristics have been set, it's almost the same.

So, he turned and walked away.

Just as he was about to leave the area, an extremely terrifying feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, his body flashed rapidly, and in an instant, he shrank into inches, and between the clouds and mist, he had already shot out more than a thousand meters.

Behind him, where the "Strange Domain" was broken, there were dense shadow shadows, which shot at lightning speed, occupying the place he left, but these shadow puppets... Failed again.

"This thing can still improve, knowing that you can detect my direction from the movement in the broken area, I'm afraid it will be smarter next time, right?"

Xia Yuan didn't stay any longer, and went directly to the Dragon King Temple, he was going to ask Ning Bao.
