Chapter 23: I Have Acacia Beans, and I Tie the Knot Under the Tree (1)
"Is this Suhua-chan's home?"
Mengzhu stood behind Nian Ai Suhua, put his hands on the other's shoulders and turned his head to look at the mansion in front of him.
Nian Ai Suhua looked a little uncomfortable.
Accustomed to loneliness, she can't adapt to Mengzhu's self-familiarity and enthusiastic intimate behavior.
Mu Yue raised her head and looked at the mansion in front of her.
Located on the outskirts of Jiangdu, this house is not small, but it looks very dilapidated.
The mottled courtyard walls are trees that have unusually withered in spring.
Through the low courtyard wall, you can see a tall tree in the courtyard.
It's like the street trees outside, lifeless as if they're dead, and there's not a trace of green in sight.
Nian Ai Suhua nodded slowly, stepped forward and pushed open the gate of the courtyard.
The dilapidated wooden door made a tooth-sour sound, which made Mengzhu and Gong Xingyun can't help but get goosebumps.
"Sorry, the house is shabby......"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Mu Yue waved his hand again and again, although the atmosphere revealed by Nian Ai Suhua's home made him feel uncomfortable, but he buried this strangeness deep in his heart.
Octavir and Copperfield in the back frowned tightly, especially Copperfield, who was good at magic, as soon as he approached here, he felt no less than dozens of curse spells, if it weren't for the leadership of Nian Ai Suhua, he and Octavir who came here with malice would definitely be subject to a lot of counterattacks.
Next to him, Di Qi and Gong Xingyun glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"It's so full of curse ......"
"And...... Dead air. ”
[——It's completely a yin house]
The last sentence, Gong Xingyun recited silently in his heart.
Only the Great Dao Shangyang didn't seem to be affected, this was not to say that the Great Dao Shangyang was stronger than the Emperor Qi and them, but as a bloody saber, the bloody aura condensed in the corpse mountain and blood sea on his body was enough to make him completely immune to these strange atmospheres.
The group followed Nian Ai Suhua into the courtyard.
Involuntarily, everyone's eyes were on the tall but withered giant tree.
"This is...... Acacia mangroves? ”
"Acacia mangroves? What is that? Mengzhu looked at Gong Xingyun, tilted his head, and a series of question marks appeared on his head.
"According to the legend, as long as you make a wish to stay with your beloved under the acacia mangrove tree full of 999 acacia red flowers, the wish will definitely come true."
"Huh~? Why can't you see a single flower? ”
Hearing Gong Xingyun's explanation, Mengzhu suddenly looked at the acacia mangrove tree in front of him that seemed to have died with great regret.
Imagine the situation of 999 acacia red flowers blooming, that must be beautiful, right?
[If you make a wish with Tsuki-chan in such a place......]
A wisp of blush flew on his cheeks, and Mengzhu's bright gaze at Mu Yue made the latter feel strange.
Nian Ai Suhua slowly walked to the foot of the acacia mangrove, stretched out her pale right palm and gently covered the trunk.
Dots of pale blue light flew out of the trunk of the tree, and finally condensed in the palm that Nian Ai Suhua had withdrawn to form a pale blue gem that looked a little oozing.
"This is the blood crystal? I thought it was going to be red. Cui Huacan looked at the sapphire in Nian Ai Suhua's hand and raised his eyebrows and said.
"It was supposed to be red...... It's just that...... Ever since Grandma's soul was imprisoned inside, it has become like this......"
Octavir and Copperfield looked at the blood crystals with a little solemnity in their eyes.
As the Grand Knight and Magician of Britain, they certainly knew from the literature what the Blood Crystal looked like.
"How? Is there a way? ”
"Let me see."
Gong Xingyun stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Nian Ai Suhua.
Pursing his pale lips, Nian Ai Suhua handed over the blood crystals to Gong Xingyun.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Xiao Daojun, a maid who was almost only left as a mascot on weekdays.
Holding the blood crystal in his hand, Gong Xingyun looked around the entire mansion, and then walked to the northwest corner of the courtyard and gently placed the blood crystal on the ground.
Taking out a stack of talismans from his small satchel, Gong Xingyun then began to run back and forth in the courtyard, walls, wooden doors, blue brick floors and even the withered acacia mangrove tree were pasted with a lot of talismans by him.
After all the talismans were pasted by him, Gong Xingyun sat cross-legged in front of the blood crystal.
Everyone gathered around, and Octavir and Copperfield stared at the blood crystals without blinking, for fear that something would go wrong.
"Wandering souls, where to stay, three souls descend early, seven spirits come, riverside wilderness, temples and villages, palace prisons, graves and forests, false alarms and weirdness, lost true souls——!!"
In the calm courtyard, a raging wind suddenly blew.
The strange thing is that these winds are all confined to the courtyard of the Nian Ai's house, and the streets outside are not affected in the slightest.
Mengzhu shrank into Mu Yue's arms with some fear, but he couldn't help but look at Gong Xingyun and the blood crystals with wide round eyes.
On the other side, Octavier and Copperfield looked at the scene in amazement.
As a great knight and magician of Britain, it is not that he has not been in contact with the people of the [Chongdao Palace].
But this was the first time they had seen the spiritualist spell that belonged to the [Chongdao Palace] so closely.
Different from Western techniques, the feeling of novelty made Copperfield, a magician, slightly excited.
"It's completely different from the principle of spiritual power operation on our side......"
"Can you see anything?"
"No, although I'm a magician, I can't understand this kind of Daojun's unique ability - you also know that spiritualism is completely taboo with us......"
For them, the souls of the dead either go to heaven to become the lambs of God, or to hell to become Satan's minions.
In either case, it is not permissible to bring in a soul without permission—even if the soul is only imprisoned in blood crystals.
When the yin wind subsided, the pale blue blood crystals began to vibrate.
Then, a translucent figure emerges from within.
With long silver-white hair, she looks like a girl in her twenties.
When she opened her eyes, there was a hint of confusion in the girl's blue eyes.
“…… Milk, grandma!!! ”
Seeing the shadow of the girl, Nian Ai Suhua covered her mouth and cried silently.
Grandmother?
Everyone looked at the young and beautiful soul in front of them in amazement.
Is this a grandmother's generation?
was called by Nian Ai Suhua, the confusion in the girl's blue eyes gradually faded, and she turned her head to look at Nian Ai Suhua, revealing a smile that poured out the world.
"Suhua ......"
"Grandma'!!!"
Stumbling a few steps forward, Nian Ai Suhua knelt down with a puff.
"Hurry up Suhua, this is ......?"
After the Calamity Witch asked Nian Ai Suhua to get up, she looked around suspiciously.
With her eyes on Gong Xingyun, she laughed again, "The Dao Monarch of [Chongdao Palace]? ”
"Ahh Yes, yes!! ”
Gong Xingyun, who was stunned by the shocking beauty of the calamity witch, came back to his senses.
Then, Gong Xingyun suddenly frowned, "Your state is so strange?" The soul seems to be ...... Incomplete? ”
"Incomplete? …… Yes, of course incomplete. ”
The Calamity Witch sighed, her slender eyelashes trembling, and raised her eyes to look at the acacia mangroves in the courtyard.
"I didn't expect to see you again in my lifetime......"
See you?
Everyone followed the gaze of the Calamity Witch and looked at the acacia mangrove tree in the courtyard.
Mu Yue faintly felt that this acacia mangrove tree had an extraordinary meaning for Nian Ai Suhua's grandmother and the Witch of Calamity.
