Volume 4 Incineration
Out of the beads was the soul of a common man, with a clear head and body, except for the feet like a tightly tied balloon, with a black seed tied to the bottom.
The soul first looked around in confusion and sluggishness, and then bowed to Li Chunfeng, and respectfully addressed, "Master." ”
Li Chunfeng was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Where are you from?" Why are you here? And why do you call me master? The spirit looked very confused, and did not answer Li Chunfeng's question, still shouting, "Master." ”
Seeing this, Tang Ying asked Li Chunfeng in a low voice, "This bookworm can strip out the souls of dead people and erase their memories?" It seems so, but Li Chunfeng always feels that there must be other uses for obtaining these souls at such a great cost.
Tentatively, he said to the spirits, "Will you obey any of my commands?" ”
"Yes." The spirit replied reverently.
Li Chunfeng pointed to another white bead and said to him, "Then you go and smash that thing." Although the soul had a resolute look on its face, it was trapped in the place where the black seed was trapped and could not move.
"Stop." Li Chunfeng seemed to understand something, and made the soul stop moving. The spirit was obedient and immediately stood still.
Tang Ying tugged on Li Chunfeng's sleeve and asked, "Chunfeng, what the hell is going on?" ”
Li Chunfeng sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "If I guessed correctly, this soul is to be placed in a puppet." ”
As soon as he heard the word puppet, Tang Ying immediately remembered the demonic appearance of Fuji and people. Seeing this, Li Chunfeng grabbed her shoulder and rubbed it gently, "Don't be afraid. It shouldn't be Fujiwato. I now suspect that the black-robed man did it a few years ago. Think about it, he will fire perfect terracotta figurines, and he will also extract heartfelt souls, if the souls are put into the terracotta figurines, wouldn't there be thousands of immortal armies? ”
Tang Ying was so frightened that his teeth chattered, "That's right. And he can also control the living and the beasts. He... It's almost anything. ”
Both of them were caught up in speculation about the black-robed man's abilities, and neither spoke again.
Li Chunfeng came back to his senses first, "Let's deal with these souls first, and then go back to the city to find Di Renjie, and then think about it in the long run." ”
"How?" Tang Ying asked.
"Overdo it. They're all pitiful, and I'll give them a ride if I can. Li Chunfeng took out a talisman and pasted it on the soul, and then chanted a spell, and saw that the soul and the black seed disappeared together.
Tang Ying helped to smash all the beads open, and what came out were souls of different shades of color, the only thing they had in common was that they were all tied to a single seed. Li Chunfeng dealt with them one by one, until he found that he was not as submissive as others in front of a black soul, and said to Li Chunfeng with cracked teeth: "The master will know, and he will seek revenge on you!" ”
Li Chunfeng's heart froze, he didn't expect this soul to have his own will? In his daze, he saw a white flame slam directly on the black soul, and it immediately let out a sharp wail, and then disappeared into nothingness. Looking back at Tang Ying, there was a slight fear and disgust on her face.
Li Chunfeng sighed lightly, put his arm around her shoulders, and led her out of the cave. He guessed that he couldn't get any useful information, so he asked Tang Ying to set fire to the cave to avoid future troubles. They were outside the cave and did not leave until the fire was extinguished and the roof of the cave collapsed.
Shortly after they left, a slender figure in a black robe floated up to the ruins of the cave. Waist-high black hair blocked in front of him, and there was no wind automatically, covering all expressions. He stood silent for a moment, and suddenly let out a crisp laugh, and then a strong wind blew around him, blowing the originally nice sound like a ghost whimpering, "White fire...... It's you again, it's you again...... Li Chunfeng, Tang Ying, let's come to Japan for a long time. After he finished speaking, the wind suddenly stopped, and with that, his figure disappeared, as if it had melted directly into the night.
Putting aside the strange appearance of the black-robed man, it was only said that Tang and Li returned to Luozhou Mansion, and after the round with Di Renjie, they told all the strange "bookworm cannibalism" incidents that happened on the night of the full moon, and he was amazed to hear it.
He sighed: "I often hear the elders say that asking the bookworm to give me the elixir can bless me as the top student in high school. In this way, if I had really begged, I might have died a long time ago. ”
Li Chunfeng said: "Maybe this is just an isolated phenomenon. I hadn't thought that a bug could be bigger than a black bear. ”
Di Renjie grabbed his beard and said, "If this case is solved, I can also go back to Bingzhou." Recently, I was transferred to the Governor's Mansion to join the army, and it was not good to leave for too long. He turned his head and asked Tang Ying, "What about you?" Go back to Chang'an directly, or play in Luoyang? ”
Tang Ying sighed: "How can you have leisure to play? The emperor's health was not good, and the contradictions in the court intensified. The queen was busy all day, and she was pregnant again, so she had already told me to go back as soon as I was done. ”
Although Di Renjie is not an official in the court, he has a keen sense of politics. He already knew that Shangguan Yi and other ministers intended to impeach Wu Mei, so he pretended not to know and nodded.
Li Chunfeng looked a little sad after hearing this, on the one hand, he was a little strange that Wu Mei took up most of Tang Ying's time; On the other hand, he knew that Li Zhi had always been unable to break his mind about Tang Ying, and he was even more unwilling to let them see each other every day. In recent years, as they get together less and leave more, he always feels that the relationship between the two is gradually fading.
After the first battle of Qianling, his spirit was obviously weak. And Tang Ying is in his early twenties, when he is the most energetic. In the past, he could always feel the return of youth when he was with her. But now, Tang Ying's youth has brought out his own decadence.
Tang Ying saw that Li Chunfeng was a little sullen, and guessed that he might be reluctant to return to Chang'an. So, she suddenly asked Di Renjie, "I've never been to your house, right?" ”
Di Renjie was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you talking about your hometown, or the annex of Bingzhou?" ”
Tang Ying pretended to be excited and said, "This is where your wife and child live now!" It's a merger, right? ”
Di Renjie couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his wife and children, "Yes, what? Would you like to check it out? ”
Tang Ying raised his head and laughed mischievously, "You don't welcome us?" Di Renjie hurriedly waved his hand and joked: "How dare you not be welcomed?" I'm just afraid that Ichiko will be ashamed of myself when I see you! ”
Tang Ying jumped to Li Chunfeng's side and said, "Hmph, are you afraid that your sister-in-law will feel uncomfortable when she sees me?" I'll go with Chunfeng, and Mrs. Zun will naturally have no opinion. ”
Li Chunfeng blushed a little and explained to Di Renjie: "You know that the shadow is not covered, don't go to your heart." Di Renjie raised his eyebrows, "No, what Ying'er said is right. Not only do I know, but my wife often hears me talk about her! If you are willing to enjoy the light, of course I welcome it. ”
Tang Ying clapped his face happily, "Then it's decided." Leave early tomorrow morning! ”
Li Chunfeng guessed that Tang Ying might be reluctant to leave him, and his heart was sweet, so he also agreed to this temporarily arranged trip.
