After a while, I entered the house, put three pillars of incense on Hongxuan's tablet, and murmured: "Hongxuan, you have found a way to nourish the soul for your wife, are you willing to stay with your wife?" As a wife, I will be able to avenge you in the future, so wait for me to clear your name!. ”

"Meow", the little black cat jumped on the desk and took a few steps. The fragrance in the incense burner, the green smoke coming out.

I brought a small piece of oiled paper, opened the white jar, reached out and grabbed a handful of ashes, wrapped it in small oiled paper, put it away, and prepared to go to the shrine maiden again tomorrow.

This night, I slept very peacefully, maybe I had seen Luo Hongxuan, or Luo Hongxuan was attracted to the soul, the soul was weak, this night Luo Hongxuan no longer dreamed, the little black cat kept watch on the beam in my house all night.

Early the next morning, I got ready and set foot on the back mountain forest again with the little black cat in my arms. This time I was no longer afraid, no longer disoriented, and it only took me half an hour to reach Xiaozhulou.

Outside the bamboo building, Luo Qiaoyu was already waiting for me, "Sister Hua, you're here!" ”

She opened the bamboo fence door and let me in.

"Hua Banlei has seen Lord Shaowu!" I leaned slightly and saluted the little girl.

"Sister Hua, you don't have to be polite!"

The little girl's tone was tinged with a hint of coquettishness, and a pair of bright big eyes flickered, showing the little daughter's coquettishness.

"Hehe, it should be." I have a lot of respect for the shrine maiden, and I even have a little respect for her successor.

"Oh, everyone calls you sister!" The little girl stomped her feet to show her anger.

I smiled, thinking that this little girl was very cute, so I naturally let go of my restraints and said with a smile: "Then I'll call you Sister Xiaoyu." ”

"Okay!"

Luo Qiaoyu smiled happily, then led me to the outside of the cabin and said, "Mother-in-law has fasted and bathed, and is ready to open the altar, just waiting for you to come." ”

I nodded, Luo Qiaoyu reached out and knocked on the wooden door and said, "Mother-in-law, Sister Hua is here." ”

"Let her in." The hoarse and majestic voice of the shrine maiden came from inside the door.

When I entered, the shrine maiden was still the same as yesterday, but under the dim oil lamp, her thin old face looked even older than yesterday.

"Hana Banlei meets the shrine maiden."

I stepped forward to salute, and the shrine maiden raised her hand slightly to signal that I didn't have to bow more.

"Mother-in-law, I have brought Luo Hongxuan's ashes."

As I spoke, I took out the small paper bag in my arms and handed it over.

The witch bowed her head and said, "The old body will open the altar, you step back and let Xiaoyu come in." ”

"Yes, mother-in-law." I quit the cabin.

A moment later, Luo Qiaoyu entered the wooden house. "Mother-in-law, do you really want to cast a spell to help her nourish her soul?"

Luo Qiaoyu's tone revealed a hint of worry.

The witch sitting behind the desk fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Luo Hongxuan is the descendant of our Luo family, he died tragically outside, and his soul returned to Luojia Village, but he has been wandering in the mountains and forests.

He didn't come to ask the old man for help, he didn't want to implicate Luojia Village, this is righteous, he let his wife leave and remarry for love, such a affectionate and righteous descendant, as the guardian of Luojia Village, how can he not help? ”

"But, mother-in-law, yesterday you have injured your body by attracting souls for him, and if you want to open the altar to induce the secret method, it will consume your mana and essence."

Luo Qiaoyu's eyes showed reluctance.

The witch shook her head, "Lock the soul into the jade, although it is exerted with the power of the old body essence, but to nourish the soul with the soul is to consume the girl's longevity, and even life, compared to her, what is the old body, he will go to hell one day, will suffer all kinds of torture, she will suffer more than mine, how can this woman's courage be comparable to others!" ”

"Mother-in-law......"

Luo Qiaoyu still needs to be persuaded.

But I saw the witch waving her hand, "Let's prepare to open the altar." ”

With that, he got up and went into the back room.

Luo Qiaoyu had no choice but to give up and step forward to prepare.

This time it was more cumbersome and complicated, in addition to the previous incense burner, wooden sword, rattle, and white candle, Luo Qiaoyu also took the soul banner and hung it in the wooden house. The soul-attracting flags are covered with green gauze curtains, showing a strange aura under the reflection of the oil lamp.

Luo Qiaoyu pasted the yellow rune paper on the soul lock flag, placed the candlestick on the incense table, and lit 7749 white candles on the candlestick.

At this time, the shrine maiden had already dressed in the costume of the shrine maidens of the past, covered with black veil, and barefoot. There are bells tied to both feet and wrists, jingle crisply, interlock each other, step on the ground barefoot, and walk slowly.

"Xiaoyu, are you ready?"

She asked in a deep voice.

"Mother-in-law, you're ready."

"Call her in!"

Luo Qiaoyu nodded in response, and then I followed her into the house. I stood aside and saw the witch take out the purple jade box, open the small paper bag containing Luo Hongxuan's ashes, and place it next to the purple jade box.

Picked up the peachwood sword and rattle on the desk again, held the sword in one hand and the bell in the other, ready to go, turned around and asked Luo Qiaoyu, "Where is Heidi?" ”

Luo Qiaoyu was about to answer when he heard a "meow", and the little black cat jumped in out of nowhere and jumped on the incense case.

Mikomi-sama took one look at it and said, "Heidi, let's get started." ”

"Meow", the black cat barked and nodded.

The shrine maiden began to do so, the bells jingled, the wooden swords flew, and she danced in an ancient and mysterious dance, and the elaborate incantations were sung in her hoarse voice.

The soul banner is covered with a green gauze curtain without wind, and the little black cat walks around with wonderful steps on the incense table, like a dance, and like a walk in the garden, accompanied by the mysterious dance of the witch, and the ensemble plays a strange scene.

The little black cat is worthy of being the witch's spiritual pet, and the witch dance of the witch is even decent.

I was dumbfounded, watching Xiao Hei and the witch cooperate tacitly, I really didn't expect Xiao Hei to have this ability, it is really different.

Luo Qiaoyu stood quietly guarding on the side, sometimes respectfully lowering her eyes, sometimes looking up, but she never dared to disturb her, she was serious about protecting the witch.

The witch danced for a long time, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from her forehead. Suddenly, the shrine maiden quickened her pace, and the speed at which she recited the spell in her mouth also increased. The bells on his feet, wrists, and hands rang more cheerfully, and the little black cat on the incense table sped up.

In the house, the green yarn and soul-attracting flags danced in the wind, and the candles were swaying, almost extinguished. Luo Qiaoyu looked nervously at the wooden house, with a dignified look in her eyes.

I suddenly looked up, only to see from the open window of the cave that the mountain forest suddenly blew a cloudy wind, the branches of the trees swayed, the wind speed intensified, and gradually formed a whirlwind, rushing towards the bamboo building.

I took two steps forward uneasily, trying to make a sound, but I was afraid that I would disturb the shrine maiden casting a spell, so I quickly covered my mouth.

In the bamboo house, the fast-flying witch suddenly unveiled the black veil that covered her face, opened her mouth, and sprinkled a mouthful of blood on the peach wood sword, only to see the peach wood sword flash a golden light, illuminating the entire bamboo house.

After a while, it disappeared, and the peachwood sword was already dyed red, and the blood slid down the sword body, which looked shocking.

Luo Qiaoyu opened her mouth to speak, but the witch shook her head lightly, signaling her to be quiet, and then the witch danced the mysterious dance again, but at a much slower pace.
