The witch mother-in-law brandished the wooden sword, jumped for a while and pointed at the wooden sword, a strong yin wind hit, she quickly picked up the purple jade box placed on the incense case, and lifted the oil paper containing Luo Hongxuan's ashes, sprinkled the ashes into the purple jade box, and entered the purple jade box with the yin wind.

The purple jade box was quickly absorbed, and the purple jade surface suddenly turned gray and darkened. A black spot appeared in the center of the jade face, which quickly condensed. Closing the lid, the purple jade box swayed, as if something was struggling fiercely.

The witch peach wood sword pointed, shot out a white light, and shouted, "Lock the soul into the jade!" ”

The little black cat on the side "meowed" loudly, and the purple jade box trembled violently, and it calmed down after a while.

After performing the Fa, the shrine maiden took a few steps back, her body shaking.

Luo Qiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward, supported the witch, and asked with concern, "Mother-in-law, how are you?" ”

The witch shook her head, but she looked much older in an instant, she beckoned to me, and said, "Girl, come here!" ”

I hurriedly stepped forward, and she pointed to the purple jade box that had returned to calm and said, "Bite your middle finger and drop three drops of your blood on it, and the purple jade box will recognize you as the master." ”

I was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to my senses, and bit my middle finger in pain, dripping blood onto the purple jade box.

The witch mother-in-law said weakly: "The old body has lost its essence, and its mana has been lost, so it is difficult to recover. ”

"Mother-in-law, why are you doing this!"

Luo Qiaoyu came down with tears in her eyes, and the hand holding the witch trembled slightly.

"Silly boy, as a guardian witch, you should do your best for Luo's Village, this matter is determined by cause and effect, and we can't escape. Ahem......"

The shrine maiden coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the blood stained the black veil on her face.

Luo Qiaoyu hurriedly took off the black veil, reached out and wiped it for the witch mother-in-law with her cuffs, "Mother-in-law, you go into the inner room to rest." ”

The little black cat jumped to the shrine maiden's feet and rubbed it gently, as if to let the witch mother-in-law go in to rest.

The witch who was almost leaning on Luo Qiaoyu nodded weakly, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help her into the house and lie down.

The witch mother-in-law held my hand and paused for a while before she slowly spoke: "Girl, you take back the purple jade box, remember to drop three drops of essence blood every day, and you can stop dripping blood after seven or forty-nine days, and you must take it with you in the future, don't lose it." ”

I nodded hurriedly and asked, "Mother-in-law, did Luo Hongxuan enter that box just now?" ”

"Yes, the old body has locked his remnant soul into the box, however, his soul is not complete, people have three souls and seven souls, he only has this one earth soul left, and the others have been scattered, and you need to find it back.

The soul of this place should also be returned to the underworld, but we people in Luojia Village are a cursed family, and our souls will return to this mountain forest after death, so you will see so many blue fires outside, and that is the soul of the people of Luojia Village after death. ”

"Why is this happening?" I asked in amazement, "The Cursed?" ”

"This matter, Xiaoyu will slowly tell Sister Sùhua in the future!" Luo Qiaoyu, who was on the side, replied.

Seeing this, I quickly retracted my mind and continued to listen to the shrine maiden's mother-in-law.

The shrine maiden was a little weak, and she was already out of breath after saying such a long paragraph.

Luo Qiaoyu hurriedly came over to calm her breath, and instructed: "Mother-in-law, you can rest for a while!" ”

I saw that the witch mother-in-law was like this, and I was also busy saying that I would take my time to ask for advice in the future.

But the witch mother-in-law grabbed my hand and said, "Now that I have run out of oil and the lamp is running out, and my time is short, let's finish explaining while I still have some strength!" ”

I was suddenly sad, Luo Qiaoyu's face changed greatly, and she cried even more.

I'm full of guilt, if it weren't for me, the shrine maiden wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Girl, don't be sad for the old body, everything has cause and effect," Xu saw my guilt, and the witch mother-in-law comforted me softly: "Come, the old body will tell you about the use of this purple jade box first." ”

When I heard this, I quickly wiped the tears from my face and sat down to listen to the explanation of the shrine maiden mother-in-law.

She first taught me how to use it, and then taught me the mantra to open the purple jade box, and at the end she was not at ease, so she asked me to repeat the mantra many times so that I would not be on a business trip. I wasn't relieved until I could recite the opening mantra correctly.

"Alright, you go back! Xiaoyu will tell you to find a way to find Xuan'er's other souls, and you will have to collect all his souls by yourself in the future. ”

When the witch mother-in-law saw that I had learned the mantra, she waved her hand and asked Luo Qiaoyu to take me out, Luo Qiaoyu agreed, covered the quilt for the witch, and gently withdrew with me.

There are too many mysteries in my heart that have not yet been solved, such as how Luo Hongxuan died, why did he wander in the mountains and forests after he died, and why did the witch mother-in-law say that their Luo clan was cursed?

Why can't their souls return to the underworld after they die, but are bound to the mountains and forests in the back mountains? Isn't that not possible to be reincarnated?

But seeing the weak appearance of the witch mother-in-law, I really couldn't bear to ask, so I had to secretly suppress the question and Luo Qiaoyu came out.

What I didn't expect was that this was the last time I saw the shrine maiden, and after I went back, the shrine maiden swallowed her last breath not long after, which is something I learned later.

It's just that at that time, I had too many questions in my heart, thinking about coming back to Houshan Xiaozhu another day, where did I think that this departure would be separated from the witch mother-in-law forever.

Later, I asked Luo Qiaoyu to find out that this spell was cast at the cost of absorbing the witch mother-in-law's longevity. When she did this, the mouthful of blood that the witch mother-in-law spat out actually contained her lifelong mana and her last life.

If I had known this, I would definitely not have asked her to do such a big thing for me and Luo Hongxuan, such a sacrifice is too great. What is the difference between one person for another and killing someone?!

It's just, how do I know that this will be the result, the witch mother-in-law is the cause and effect, but such a cause and effect is too great, not to mention that it should not be her to bear it.

I owe a favor again, this time Luo Qiaoyu lost her loved ones, and made her suffer the pain of being orphaned.

Could it be that Luo Hongxuan would have prevented me from entering the mountains and forests in the back mountains, he must have known that there would be such a result, right? I regret that I didn't find out the situation and asked the shrine maiden to collect my soul.

It's just that if I really knew the truth, would I refuse?

Maybe I will hesitate, after all, I am willing to pay no matter what the price is for Luo Hongxuan's return. If it were for myself, I wouldn't hesitate!

It may prevent the shrine maiden from exchanging her longevity, but if this is the only way, then it is another matter, after all, people are selfish. It's just that why the shrine maiden did this, I still don't understand in the end.

Later, even if she asked Luo Qiaoyu, she shook her head silently, only saying that this was the responsibility of their witch.
