44. Encounters
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the rest of the people also hurriedly said goodbye and left in a hurry. For a while, the side hall, which was originally full, suddenly became quiet again. In a short period of time, the original prepared rhetoric was not yet spoken, and the matter could have been over.
"It's really weird...... Bai Zhu muttered, "Could it be that this group of people are idle at noon, and they are here to tease me!?" β
"Poof." Gu Ziyan squatted down, picked up Qiuqiu from the ground, and couldn't help laughing, "Isn't it good?" If you do deal with them, the outcome may not be the same. β
"That's the truth, in fact, I'm not scared of other people, but the person who just took the lead in leaving, if he really wants to embarrass us, it's a big trouble." Although Bai Zhu didn't know Yunlu, he could still see that he was different from his demeanor.
Gu Ziyan knew it in his heart, so he wouldn't think much about what happened just now. What he was more concerned about was another question: "Speaking of which, where is Yin Li?" I almost forgot, there's one more thing I haven't disposed of! β
The contents of the Seven Killings Monument were stored in the system's backpack space by him at that time, although the contents were struggling at that time. But when Gu Ziyan saw Shaoguang and another person on that strange long street, the contents of the package were dumb from then on, if it wasn't for the slight touch he felt just now, he would have almost forgotten such a thing.
"Yin Li looks very interested in the dilapidated main hall, and it is estimated that he will still be there at this time."
"Then I'll go look for her." Gu Ziyan faintly felt that the thing seemed to be about to slow down, so he unconsciously quickened his pace. When he arrived at the main hall, which could barely see through the original appearance, Gu Ziyan was surprised to find that the entire decaying building seemed to be unbearable and had collapsed most of it. And Yin Li was walking back and forth around the ruins, chanting words in his mouth as he walked, and his younger brother Yin Bei stood next to him without saying a word, as if he was in a daze.
Yin Li's appearance was very serious, and it wasn't until Gu Ziyan reached out and patted her shoulder that she came back to her senses: "Huh...... Surprise me, why don't you have a good rest? I saw you were in a terrible state before. β
"I'm looking for your help, I found a way to lock up that thing in the Seven Killings Monument before, do you have any way to dispose of it?"
Hearing Gu Ziyan say this, Yin Li looked at him with a surprised look: "You can actually restrain it?" In other words, you can't catch ghosts without special things...... Where did you keep it? β
Before Gu Ziyan could figure out how to explain, Yin Bei, who had been in a daze beside him, didn't know when he walked to his side. Yin Bei stretched out his somewhat thin arm, pointed to Gu Ziyan's waist and abdomen, and said softly: "Sister, the ghost is here." β
This time, the surprise in Yin Li's eyes turned into awe: "You put it in your body?" I've only seen this method in books, and even ordinary people can introduce demons into their bodies, but this method is said to be quite dangerous, and the slightest accident will rob the body of the ghost. β
ββ¦β¦ Sort of, the ghost went berserk at the time, and I had no choice but to lock it up first. Since Yin Li thought so, Gu Ziyan didn't have to bother to explain, "But my physique is a little special, so there is nothing big for the time being." β
Yin Li tilted his head and looked at the collapsed ruins: "This ghost has been raised in the Seven Killing Monument for a long time, and he has been sacrificed by the evil method laid by the Taoist priest, and I can't cure it with my current ability." However, my brother happened to have a family heirloom magic weapon on him, which can temporarily trap this ghost, and when I pass a letter to the family, I will send someone to deal with it. β
Hearing what her sister said, Yin Bei was very obedient and took out a golden tripod. Although this tripod is only the size of a palm, but the workmanship is indeed fine and abnormal, just the dense lettering on the tripod, not to mention there are thousands. These words are cleverly arranged in a certain order, and from a distance, I thought it was the ornament on the tripod.
Yin Bei: "The inscription on it is the "Soul Suppression Formula", a total of 3,609 crosses, as long as the ghost is included in it, it is absolutely impossible to have a chance to escape." β
When Gu Ziyan caught the ghost out of the system space, he could feel that its strength had become very weak, and it was not comparable to when it first appeared. The ghost was almost huddled in a ball, looking more like an overly frightened rabbit, and it didn't take a few struggles before Jin Xiaoding took it in.
Also, this ghost has followed him in the underworld for a long time, and has seen a lot of "big people", and it is estimated that he has not recovered at this time.
originally thought that this would be the end, but Yin Bei suddenly frowned: "It said...... It has one more thing to tell you. β
"Me?" Gu Ziyan was puzzled and followed Yin Bei's instructions, put his hand on the top of the golden small ding, and the moment he closed his eyes, he felt the air around him get cold again. The ghost's voice sounded in his head, but this time, Gu Ziyan heard the voice of a young woman.
Without that kind of whimsy smile, this voice is actually very good after calming down, it is the voice of Su Pu's mother, Su Yao.
"I know you're not Pu'er, and it's not your duty to avenge us. But I want to tell you about these things, this is my last memory, and after reading it, it's up to you to decide what to do. β
Gu Ziyan was puzzled: "Most of the people you hate have turned into white bones, what grudges do you still have to revenge?" Besides, with your ability at that time, is there any revenge that you can't avenge yourself? β
Su Yao was silent for a moment: "After you read it, you will know." β
The chill from the palm of his hand seemed to be aggravated a little, Gu Ziyan closed his eyes, and the darkness in front of him gradually turned into an immersive picture.
It's a valley that I don't know where, and one barren mountain after another, not too high, has formed many interconnected valleys. And Su Yao and her two children, as well as the servants who accompanied them, woke up in one of the valleys. In each valley, there were groups of guards, all dressed in black, with black veils on their faces, revealing only a pair of emotionless eyes.
The leader was a young woman, even if she was dressed in black and veiled, she couldn't hide her slender figure and pretty face. This woman Gu Ziyan has seen it, and in the memory of the young man who designed to harm Su Chengming, it was this pretty woman who colluded with her and took Su Chengming's family away.
At this time, the woman looked at them condescendingly, and when she saw them wake up, the pretty woman raised her hand: "Bring the holy water and feed them to drink." β
Several black-clothed men stepped forward, all holding a bowl of dark medicinal soup in their hands. Su Yao and the others had all been drugged before, and they couldn't use any strength at this time, so they were almost forcibly poured into the medicinal soup by these people. Occasionally, if the body is better, he was immediately suppressed and beaten violently, and he could only lie on the ground and survive. Su Yao was followed by Su Pu, who was just seven years old at the time, and he was still holding a baby in his arms. When the men in black poured medicine on her, they wanted to take the child away, but Su Yao held on to it and refused to let go. Perhaps it was painful, and the child suddenly burst into tears, very loudly, and several echoes echoed in the valley.
The pretty woman raised her eyebrows, but she laughed when she was supposed to be angry.
It's just that the smile is more terrible than the anger. The pretty woman walked up to Su Yao and reached out to break the hand she was holding the child little by littleβthe movement was slow but very hard, until Su Yao's bones clicked, until the beautiful hands were almost completely folded, and the pretty woman finally snatched the child from Su Yao's hand with ease.
Su Yao's face was already full of tears, his hands were no longer conscious, and the pain in his body was nothing. What scared her even more was that the pretty woman in front of her raised her hands to the child and said, "The adults have given you holy water, and you are too late to be grateful, but this evil obstacle is crying, which is really disrespectful to the gods!" β
After speaking, the pretty woman turned around and threw the child into the fire beside her!
The outline of the flame reflected in her eyes, and she raised her arms and shouted, "The holy fire is enough to burn away your ignorance!" β
"No, no...... My baby! Su Yao's voice was hoarse, and she wanted to rush over to save the child who was still crying in the fire, but she was pressed to the spot by two men in black. With his face on the dirt, he couldn't do anything.
The flames engulfed the swaddling clothes, and the child's first cries faded until at last only the crackling sound of the flames burned.
Seeing this, the black-clothed men present actually knelt down in front of the fire and repeated the words of the pretty woman in a loud voice: "The holy fire is enough to burn away your ignorance!" β
Seeing this, the woman laughed loudly, as if she was very satisfied. Her black and white eyes turned, and suddenly fell on Su Pu on the side. For her, this time she is looking for some people with cultivation to experiment, those who have no cultivation servants may have some other use, but these children who have no cultivation and are useless are just dust and worthless to her.
"Please, let him go...... Please. Su Yao's clothes were already full of mud, and the tears on her face made her look even more wolf-like.
The pretty woman looked down at her, as if she thought it was funny, and actually said, "As long as you are obedient, I won't do anything to your son, otherwise...... You've seen the results just now. Now, drink the holy water! If you haven't drunk it yet, you will feed it yourself. β
Hearing the woman say this, Su Yao trembled and took the medicine bowl from the hand of a man in black, tilted his head and drank it all. Then another man in black handed her a bowl and motioned for her to feed it to the others.
Su Yao walked up to a person, who used to be the maid beside her, and looked at her with wide eyes in horror at this time, and retreated while saying no. With her eyes closed, as if she had exhausted all her life's strength, she opened her mouth and poured a bowl of medicine into it.
Bowl after bowl, and by the end, Su Yao felt that he had become numb.
The woman looked very happy, watched everyone drink the "holy water", and left the valley to inspect the situation elsewhere.
Su Yao covered her face and cried.
However, this qiΔ is only the beginning.
