Chapter 12: The Truth (3)

As soon as the picture turned, the location also shifted from the hibiscus flower path to Yang Yingsleeve's boudoir. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It was the first day after the bad news of the Liu family came, Yang Yingsleeves lay in a daze all day long, her eyes swept over the bird stand in front of the window, staring at the light rain outside like drops of crystal clear tears falling on the wood hibiscus that bloomed all over the purple and red.

The oath is still in the ear, but people are separated by yin and yang. Since this beautiful flower is destined to be disappointed in the future, why leave her alone to see the flowers year after year.

Yang Yingsleeve walked over and broke a cup on the table, picked up a piece of shard, and scratched it on his wrist a few times until his consciousness began to dissipate due to blood loss.

An emerald green parrot flew in and perched on the bird's rack, and after biting off the veil tied to its wings, it fell to the ground and instantly transformed into a human form. He tied the handkerchief to Yang Yingsleeve's wrist and said softly, "Yingsleeve, I'm back." ”

……

Gu Changsheng woke up suddenly, and kept sleeping with her head up, so that as soon as she opened her eyes, she was facing the black beam. And a pair of dark green eyes appeared on the beam directly above her head, and it was very strange to meet her gaze, a bit like the kind of ghost fire often said in the wild mountain tombs, but it didn't flutter, and it stopped quietly on the beam.

Changsheng knew that the eyes were by no means rats, although rats also had the ability to fly eaves and walk walls, but there were often rat infestations in the temple, she began to fight rats from being able to clean with a broom, and she was sixteen years old, and she was too familiar with mice. No matter how fat a mouse is, it is impossible for a mouse to have such a large pair of eyes.

It can't be another prank. She glanced back, didn't see Xi Zixu, and tried to calm herself down first. Then she stared at those eyes, and if it rushed down, she would be able to adapt immediately. She slowly moved to the door with a chair, which was cumbersome but might be able to block it if necessary.

The eye would move from side to side with her movements, but luckily it never came down. She tripped over the threshold and almost managed to climb out.

Outside the hibiscus trail. The monk, the girl next door, the boy, and Xi Zixu are all there. Changsheng was just about to run over to say that there was something in the house, when he heard the young man suggest, "Burn these flowers, otherwise it will be difficult to find out if that monster hides in the flowers." ”

Gu Changsheng blurted out, "No, if you burn the flowers, Miss Yang won't be able to stand it." ”

Qian Ruyue only treats her as a superfluous person, she is nominally Xi Zixu's maid, and she doesn't know anything about catching demons, so her words have no weight. "What are you doing when you come out, go back to your room and sleep in your room, save yourself from getting in the way."

Gu Changsheng counted on Xi Zixu to say something, standing on her side, they didn't know the significance of these wood hibiscus to Yang Yingsleeve, if it was really a fire, Yang Yingsleeve would collapse when he woke up tomorrow.

Xi Zixu clasped his hands and had no objections. Qian Ruyue took out the fire fold, and Gu Changsheng stepped forward to grab it. was pushed away, "I said that you don't get in the way!" ”

Changsheng's whole body pressed against Mu Hibiscus, and her palm was cut by the shorter branches, she hissed, remembering a few cuts on Yang Yingsleeve's wrist, she only felt that she really had guts, she couldn't stand it just after being scratched for a while, Yang Yingsleeve had a heart to kill and cut it her wrist.

She was about to cry out in pain, but she heard the sound of her sword being drawn and unsheathed. Turning his head, he saw that the boy was actually pointing his sword at her, and he would not let her hinder them, so he would use force.

The monk raised the staff in his hand with a wary face, "Little girl, come here!" ”

The slender roots of the wood hibiscus broke through the ground, and they were as dexterous as a whip that had been flicked around Qian Ruyue's wrist, and the tighter and tighter they were. The fire fold in Qian Ruyue's hand fell to the ground and rolled down into the path of the wood hibiscus flower, and was swept into the flowers by the wriggling branches like insects.

The young man cut off the branch in Qian Ruyue's hand with a sword, and Qian Ruyue shook his hand and threw the broken hibiscus flower root on his wrist to the ground, but he saw that the branch was reborn when it encountered the soil, as if the steps of rooting and flowering and reproducing were compressed in a short moment.

Qian Ruyue pulled out her sword and only felt disgusted, those wriggling roots and branches still carried the moisture and smell of the soil, and even, it seemed that there was a faint smell of fertilizer. When she saw the roots, she cut them, but the boy stopped, "Don't cut them, the more you cut them." ”

Those broken roots and branches were like earthworms split in two, and Gu Changsheng could only stand on tiptoe and jump in the direction of Xi Zixu in the gap between the roots and branches. As a result, he stepped on the stretching branches and leaves, and was circled by his ankles, and after a while the world was turned upside down, he was directly hung upside down.

Her body swayed left and right in mid-air, shaking so much that she wanted to vomit, glad that she only ate soup dumplings for dinner, otherwise those delicacies of the mountains and seas would be ruined.

Xi Zi jumped over, broke the branches and leaves on her ankles, and picked up Gu Changsheng's collar, "What a useless guy." He jumped a few times, and before the branches and leaves were entwined, he returned to the young man's side, and threw Gu Changsheng to the ground without mercy.

The monk resisted with his staff, and praised at the same time, "Good kung fu!" ”

Changsheng climbed up in pain, people look thin, buttocks have no meat, the disadvantage is that buttocks are no better than other places, the same pain. Changsheng thanked him, "Thank you, young master." ”

She knew that Xi Zixu was in front of people, had scruples and used real skills. Xi Zixu said, "Aren't the monks of Putuo Temple capable of subduing demons and eliminating demons, why don't you see you exerting your boundless Dharma." ”

The monk said, "There is no demonic aura in this wood hibiscus flower, and it doesn't look like a demon. ”

Qian Ruyue said, "It's not the devil's doing, is it because this flower will move itself." I see that this flower has been cultivated into a demon, and the black qi before may be that it is playing ghosts! Just cut but can't cut. She looked at the boy and asked, "What should I do?" ”

The young man said decisively, "Fire can only use fire." ”

Qian Ruyue frowned and said, "But this fire fold fell in." "Now the roots and branches of the hibiscus are trapping them, and there is no way to go back to the house to get them.

Xi Zixu didn't say a word, and a small flame grew in the palm of his open hand. was about to quietly burn the wood hibiscus by the roots. But something flew over, and he turned around and extinguished the fire in his palm. Seeing the black gas from last night, it lingered in the air.

The monk said, "It really attracted it." ”

The young man's index finger and middle finger rose together, drew gossip out of thin air, and raised two fingers. The yellow talisman hidden in the eight directions rises from the eight directions of Qian (northwest), Kun (north), Gen (northeast), Zhen (east), Xun (southeast), Li (south), Kun (southwest), and Dui (west), sandwiching the black in the middle.

The branches and leaves of the wood hibiscus flower were drawn, and the monk blocked the front of the young man and used his staff to push it away, which was distracted by the young man, so he said, "I'll help you block it, and you concentrate on casting spells." ”

Eight yellow talismans converged towards the middle, complementing each other, and no matter how black they collided, they couldn't hit each other.

Xi Zi smiled and said, "Sima Villa's Demon Formation is only inherited in one line, and it will be given to the next heir by the Bishop of Zhuang, but I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes." ”

Qian Ruyue said proudly, "My cousin is very talented, and he learned this formation at the age of ten. Even the owner of the village said that he was a rare talent in a century, and this time he must have made a name for himself in a war. ”

Xi Zixu mocked, "To deal with such a little Taoist monster, do you also need to use a trump card." What's more, I don't think this array has the power that can kill the Buddha and kill the gods as rumored, let alone the Buddha and the gods, and the demons who are a little higher in the Tao can't be trapped. The people of Sima Villa are really not as good as the generation. ”

Qian Ruyue said angrily, "You really can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth." ”

The monk said loudly, "Now is the time to work together, why is there infighting." However, the young man was calm and deaf to Xi Zixu's words.

The black smoke gradually showed its fatigue and took on the prototype, first revealing a red triangular beak and then an emerald green feather.

Gu Changsheng recognized that it was the parrot in the dream, and its cry was terrible. The black qi was drawn from its body, and it was as painful as drawing blood and disconnecting bones.

Gu Changsheng bit his lower lip and suddenly slammed into the young man. The young man was engrossed in the formation, he didn't expect to be attacked from behind, and was pressed under Gu Changsheng to the bottom.

The formation was interrupted, and the parrot took the opportunity to peck through one of the yellow talismans with its beak and flew into the wood hibiscus bush. The branches and leaves that had been stretched out quickly retreated like soldiers who had suddenly heard Mingjin's instructions to withdraw their troops, and retreated back into the earth.

The wind and waves are calm, just like Nan Ke dreaming and waking up and nothing happened.

Qian Ruyue pushed Gu Changsheng away from the young man, "What the hell are you doing!" Do you know that you're almost going to catch that harpie? ”

Gu Changsheng looked down at the ground, a little squeaky, "...... I. ”

Xi Zi said without changing his face, "Just now a branch came out of her feet, and she was scared before she hit forward." He pulled Gu Changsheng up, "And this is my maid, even if you want to scold, I will scold." ”

The young man stood up and said calmly, "Forget it, that monster has no demon power, it shouldn't be able to escape far, let's chase it." ”

Qian Ruyue stomped her feet, always feeling angry, glaring at Gu Changsheng and scolding, "Harmful people." Then I followed the young monk and the monk to chase the monster.

Xi Zixu lifted Gu Changsheng's collar, went back to the room and closed the door, and did not light the lamp. The two eyes suddenly lit up like birds and beasts in the night, and unlike the dark green eyes he had just seen, his eyes were glowing red, and even his pupils changed from round to oval.

He has always appeared in human form, fighting with the king of Hades in the underworld, no matter how fierce and brutal he is, he is also the appearance of a young man, and he is afraid that he will succumb to the instinct of the weak and afraid of the strong.

But now that he suddenly showed an unusual appearance, she had another fear in her heart, even if she had already been mentally prepared, Xi Zixu should not be a human being, even if she knew that she was no longer a "normal person", because she came back from the dead.

But she was still afraid, afraid that she didn't know what Xi Zixu was "about".

She craned her neck and took a few steps back. Xi Zixu grabbed her hand, showed a pair of sharp fangs, bit her wound that was cut by a branch but stopped bleeding, and then licked her blood.

“…… Young master, don't you want to eat me? ”

Xi Zi smiled and said, "You don't look at yourself, there is no meat on the face, even if I want to eat, I have to find a fatter one to eat." He swallowed her blood, "I'm not interested in knowing why you're helping that harpy, but you can be honest, those wood hibiscus will change, is it your spell?" ”

Where does she know magic, if she can, she doesn't have to walk so hard when she comes out of the village, and she can just ride the clouds, and even turn stones into gold, and she doesn't have to live so hard with her father-in-law. "I'm just a normal person."

Xi Zi stared at her intently, she wouldn't lie, and she would stammer. He let go of her hand and said in disgust, "Your blood is as smelly and fishy as everyone else's, fetch water to rinse my mouth." ”

Whoever does not have blood is not bloody, let alone he himself will drink it. Changsheng asked, "Young Master, aren't you going to chase that parrot?" ”

Xi Zixu regained his human appearance, stretched his waist and said lazily, "Why bother chasing it, it has been beaten back to its original form and can't live, just get up tomorrow and go to find its corpse for money." Originally, I wanted to delay it for a few days to let the Yang family add silver, but I didn't expect to be destroyed by that kid. ”

Can't you live......

Changsheng was silent.
