Chapter 26: The Witch King
"Xiaomi, you don't seem to be confused anymore." Hua Jiuxi asked, "You were so gentle just now—"
"Ah, don't mention it." Laxmi's face flushed, "Sister, I shouldn't have said you, I'll tie you up." As he spoke, he touched the rope around Ziwu's waist.
Ziwu knew that in this short period of time, she would not be able to defeat Laxmi. When her slender hand touched her two sides, she whispered, "Yes, you are much softer than that kid's hand." ”
Laxmi frowned, thinking that he was really a strange person, so he tied up Ziwu to death.
"Sister Ziwu, you abolished all the guys I ate, how should I compensate me?" Hua Jiuxi saw that Ziwu was already tied up like a zongzi and had no ability to resist, so he took the opportunity to ridicule him.
"Hehe, sister, I'm penniless." Ziwu didn't seem to feel that she was in any dangerous situation, so she joked with Hua Jiuxi.
Laxmi pursed her lips, worried that the conversation would go in a strange direction, and interjected, "How do you bargain with girls?" ”
"Scarcity is expensive, and there are few men in this city, so my words are very important." Hua Jiuxi said.
"Well, I don't have anything to compensate you." Ziwu said, "That Lu Wu, I'll give it to you." ”
"This is the property of the public family, and my sister has the right to dispose of it?" Hua Jiuxi was very skeptical.
"Your sister's status is not much longer than a few leaders in the city...... I'll send you, you don't need to open a slip, just reimburse it then. Ziwu said that she really didn't expect such an embarrassing day, "I told you the spell to operate it. ”
So he read it lightly, and Hua Jiuxi immediately wrote it down. It turns out that there is a structure shaped like a brain groove on the back of Lu Wu's head, press your hand on it, let it remember your spiritual power and then recite the incantation, and it will regard you as the master.
It actually takes some time to reach the level of proficiency, but firstly, Hua Jiuxi learned quickly, and secondly, Ziwu only taught some simple fighting methods. At present, Lu Wu has "shrunk" to the size of a foot box, taking the place of the Thousand-Armed Buddha.
"What do we do next?" Laxmi was still a little hot, and Hua Jiuxi grabbed the rope on Ziwu's body while holding her, feeling a little struggling.
Seeing Ziwu couldn't help but look at Laxmi, Hua Jiuxi became suspicious and asked, "I guess sister, you see Laxmi so weak, are you planning to run or attack us?" ”
"Hehe, I really don't dare. If this little girl has any more emotional ups and downs, I will really die. However, I have a request. ”
"What request?"
"Put me alone."
"Let you go, do you want to tell the news? Funny. ”
"Do you think my sister is such a person?"
"It's not."
"Okay, put?"
"Put."
Hua Jiuxi looked at the empty rope in his hand and asked Laxmi: "Xiaomi, do you think what I did was right or wrong?" ”
Laxmi leaned on Hua Jiuxi's shoulder, and she said softly: "This woman is a little puzzling, but I don't think she cares much about the interests of the family - she is just a fun person." ”
Hua Jiuxi nodded, "I hope so, but we seem to have forgotten someone...... but I can't remember it in an instant.
After these twists and turns, the two of them finally made a profit without losing money, and came to the front of those huge creatures.
"Look, come out." Hua Jiuxi said.
The white giant snake immediately snaked down, and he rubbed against the two of them, saying, "I was a little scared just now......
It always feels strange for such a huge monster to speak in the voice of a child, and Laxmi laughs and says, "Are you scared by your mother?" ”
"No, that auntie is a little scary." The boy replied.
"By the way, why didn't you bite her when I pinched her foot just now?" Hua Jiuxi asked.
"Dad, didn't you tell me to bite her?" Orochi said.
Hua Jiuxi shrugged, "Then you can bite these big things, I don't know if their skin is hard or not." ”
I just watched the boy go around the larger creatures, and none of them took a bite. After a while, the pillars of light above them no longer spewed out—the spirit nets had lost their effectiveness.
"The fox fairies can go on a killing spree...... The mission is complete. Hua Jiuxi breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Time waits for no one, we have to evacuate to a safe place quickly." Immediately, just like before, he asked the boy to arrive at the foot of Shaoguang City with the two of them in his mouth.
"Their reaction mechanism is really poor, and no one has left the city this time." Hua Jiuxi glanced at the huge stone beast guarding the door and said.
"Little flower, I'...... It seems to be burning a little hard...... "Laxmi was tossed all the way, and some of the support was not there.
Hua Jiuxi touched her forehead, and it was really hot, but it wasn't a cold. Now you have to get to a safe place quickly, but there is still a long way to go, what should you do?
It seemed that there was no incantation, and a loud roar sounded in his ears, and it was the stone beast that was guarding it.
"Strange, they're supposed to be unresponsive to humans?" Hua Jiuxi helped Laxmi, if several stone beasts attacked together, they could only sit and wait. Under this fear, he hugged Laxmi tightly.
I saw that these winged stone beasts in the shape of lions or horses gradually came to life, and became real behemoths. All kinds of roars arose, terrifying and inexplicable.
"Dad, don't worry, I will protect Mom!" The boy suddenly slid in front of the two of them, forming a confrontation with the stone beast.
"Look...... These monsters have no soul. And they outnumber you, both in size and in numbers. Hua Jiuxi's calmness is a plus, he knows that there is no chance of winning now, "Can you run faster?" ”
The boy immediately understood what he meant, and nodded: "Ride on my back." ”
Hua Jiuxi was about to help Laxmi onto the blind boy, and suddenly felt a few powerful demonic powers and a dozen or so weaker demonic powers behind him.
Most crucially, this is the breath of a fox.
"Look like this, is it Brother Xiaohua?" A familiar female voice spoke.
"Sister Zhu Shi?!" Hua Jiuxi was excited for a while, and said to Laxmi: "Reinforcements are coming!" ”
"It's not Zhu Shi."
I saw a red figure that seemed to fall from the sky and fell in front of the two of them at once. The eyebrows and facial features of the person who came were eight or nine points similar to Zhu Shi, and she was dressed in the same red - but she was wearing a modern trench coat. This woman has two antique guns behind her back - Hua Jiuxi is not an expert in this area, I don't know what type it is.
The woman straightened her hat, patted the dust on her long hair, and said with a smile: "Zhu Shi is my sister born in one child, my name is Zhu Yin." ”
Although they look similar, the personalities of the sisters are completely different. This is the first impression of Huajiuxi.
Zhu Yin stepped on the body of the blind boy: "It seems that you have tamed this big white dragon snake - it's okay now, change back into human form!" ”
Hearing her words, the boy immediately regained his appearance as a little boy. Zhu Yin had never seen such a cute child, so he came up and pinched his face and said, "Not bad." ”
Blind boy ran away in two steps and hid behind Laxmi.
Seeing that he was scared of the child, Zhu Yin waved his hand and shouted to his subordinates: "Suppress those stone beasts, I will take the opportunity to make a gap in the city gate!" "It's really thousands, this kind of leadership is different from Zhu Shi's.
I saw that Zhu Yin's subordinates were women and men, all of them fox fairies—because they all had red marks of nine tails on their foreheads. Because the demonic power was too strong, Hua Jiuxi couldn't spy on the level of these people at all.
Just look at the clothes of these people are really from all dynasties and generations, and a few of them are still wearing medieval armor. Some of them have firearms, some have long knives, and few of them use their fists and feet.
As soon as a few of the big ones turned over and turned into golden nine-tailed foxes like mountains, they wrestled with those stone beasts head-on. With the power of the stone beast, it is actually difficult to move forward - Hua Jiuxi sighed, it is indeed a duel between big monsters.
Zhu Yin saw that the movements of those stone beasts were blocked, and he hurriedly took off the two spears from behind. She fired two shots at the gate—the sound sounded like old-fashioned iron pellet bullets.
But Hua Jiuxi's unexpected scene appeared.
Just look at these two small bullets that hit the tall and sturdy gate of Shaoguang City, and suddenly burst out two huge fireworks. The so-called fireworks are actually fox fires with great destructive power. To describe the power of this flame, one can analogize each of its sparks to burn a living person to ashes.
"It's a lot stronger than that purple turnip." Hua Jiuxi was surprised, "Sister Zhu Yin, who is more powerful, you or Sister Zhu Shi?" ”
Zhu Yin laughed after hearing his words: "She's a little more ruthless than me...... As for the purple turnip, it can be beaten in long ears, but to me it is a waste. I'm going to cut off her head and make soup when I get the chance—by the way, you're in contact with her? ”
Hua Jiuxi nodded.
Zhu Yin frowned, fired a few more shots, turned around and asked, "Strange, I see that you are two mortals, falling into her hands." I should soon be tortured and brainwashed to the point that I can't speak. ”
"It's a little uncomfortable......" Laxmi, who had not spoken just now, suddenly said this, she is a very well-behaved girl, and she rarely causes trouble to people. Saying this proves that she is indeed in pain.
"I'll tell you the truth, she won the battle." Hua Jiuxi hugged Laxmi and said.
"Oh, let my sister touch it-" Hua Jiuxi gently pushed Laxmi to Zhu Yin - Zhu Yin's actions were a bit loud, fortunately she was a beauty, if she was replaced by a big man, it is estimated that Hua Jiuxi would have been annoyed a long time ago.
Zhu Yin only tapped Laxmi on the forehead slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Amazing, this kind of physique is a witch material that is not seen in a hundred years." In the past, I was able to directly rule over a large country. ”
"Ah, what a surprise." Hua Jiuxi said, "It seems that many people say this. Sister, do you know what kind of disease she has, I heard Zi Yi say that she was possessed by the spiritual power of the witches before. He deliberately said Ziwu's name as Zi Wei.
"That can be explained, but in another case." Zhu Yin groaned.
"Is it serious?" Laxmi was a little scared.
"No, there is a hierarchy among shrine maidens. The low-level ones will naturally be subordinate to the high-level ones, just like the men's princes and uncles, that is, they stick to you. And you, little sister, are the highest level of gods and witches, and you can communicate with the ancient gods without training. Such people are called 'witches'. ”
......Lakshmi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly got up, and said in a very solemn language: "I know that the word 'shaman' in the Vedas of India, as well as in many European languages, comes from this word. Because he originally belonged to the witch language, he was the name given to those who could naturally understand all the mystical knowledge. ”
After saying that, this sentence had already consumed a lot of her physical strength, so she immediately collapsed in Hua Jiuxi's arms.
"Little sister, you know a lot, as a human being, you speak witch language very well." Zhu Yin praised her a few words: "We may need talents like you, before that- hey, you guys, don't pester her anymore!" ”
With a slight wave of Zhu Yin, Hua Jiuxi felt several powerful spiritual powers fly out of Laxmi like a bird, and her body temperature also dropped.
"Millet has taken the medicine." He saw that Laxmi was getting better, and hurriedly put a few pills in the gourd into his mouth.
"It looks like it's okay, I'll put a few more shots to bless you." Zhu Yin fired several more shots at the city wall, and Hua Jiuxi finally saw a gap.
"It's just an ordinary bullet, but you've poured a lot of demonic power into it, right?" Hua Jiuxi finally dared to ask.
"Well, that's what happened." Zhu Yin said, "I have prepared thousands of such small steel balls, and each one is infused with demonic power for a month. It's a long-term job. The biggest advantage is that this broken gun can be used even by mortals. ”
"Really?" Hua Jiuxi was curious again, it seemed that Zhu Yin had used this gun on humans.
"It's a story that hasn't been around for a long time. He said that in the past, in Khalkha, there was a Taiji who went to Beijing to work as a guard, and then his wife stayed at home. The wife was a very, very beautiful woman, and gentle, but with a squint-eyed characteristic, so she was called Mrs. Squint-eyed. Her in-laws, Taiji's parents, were bewitched by a great lama who wanted his niece to marry Taiji, so Mrs. Squint was a monster and wanted to burn her. ”
"Lady Squint was pregnant with a child and fled on horseback alone, but the lama posted portraits everywhere that she was wanted. I was walking near an Ao Bao and was in labor in front of Ao Bao. I was sleeping in the bag when I heard her voice in pain* and immediately came out. I delivered the baby, and I broke the umbilical cord. ”
"Mrs. Squint knew I was a youkai, but she thanked me anyway and was going to go alone. I said that you are such a weak woman, sooner or later you will be caught and burned to death by them, and I can escort you back. She had no choice but to say yes. ”
"Lady Squint was caught when she got back, and they roasted her on the fire, and then she died—of course it was a groundhog I caught. I hid Mrs. Squint and waited for her husband to leave Beijing. When Taiyoshi learned that his wife had been killed, he was devastated, and I saw that this man was sincere, so I lent him my gun. Say, "With this spear, kill all your enemies." Because it is so powerful, even the government cannot believe that it was done by humans. Doubting his belief, he fired a shot at the lama's temple, and the entire temple and the prince who had persecuted the slanted lady inside were burned to the ground! ”
After killing the enemy, the husband was still desperate. I gave him back the squinted lady who was still alive......"
Zhu Yin's voice is ninety percent similar to Zhu Shi, and it is also very pleasant. After listening to her, Hua Jiuxi hurriedly clapped her hands: "Sister, your story is so good-you can be regarded as a hero in Tang Dynasty novels!" ”
"What the hell is a hero?" Laxmi asked him, "I know the word, but I still don't understand what it means." ”
Hua Jiuxi couldn't give her a reasonable explanation, and heard Zhu Yin say: "I was indeed wandering around during the Tang Dynasty, maybe I was in one of the stories you read—I don't know." ”
While the story was telling, the stone beasts guarding the gate saw that the gate had been breached, and the guards were meaningless. Therefore, it immediately reverts to a stone body. Zhu Yin was busy sending wine and pouring water for these hard-working soldiers, and a group of people laughed loudly.
