Chapter 60: Testing?
Behind me, there was a rush of footsteps, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Piaopiao, and Duha who had returned to normal "height"!
"Alas!" Xia Jing sighed deeply, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "I'll just say that she is not calm enough!" ”
I hesitantly walked downstairs and asked, "Is this ...... What's going on? ”
Xia Jing said regretfully: "Didn't you realize that all this is an illusion? ”
"Illusion?" I looked at them in confusion, and suddenly realized that they were deliberately "pretending to be ghosts" to scare me!
"The spiritual power in your body is not lower than mine, you don't know how to use it, but after all, you have been through so much, you can't even distinguish between humans and ghosts! Should I say you're cowardly, or are you too flustered? ”
"Sister, it's late, can you sleep?" Piao Piao said with a yawn.
"Go to sleep! Great work! Xia Jing couldn't help but yawn, "Brother Chen, send me back to the house first!" Good night, Lin Shan! ”
Watching them leave one by one, I sat on the steps, feeling lost. After a while, Xue Chen walked over, sat on the next step, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine!" I pulled out a smile, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and asked, "I'm a failure, right?" ”
"You can't be blamed for that!" Xue Chen comforted.
I smiled bitterly, just like Xia Jing said, I don't have the ability to discern at all, but I really can't be blamed for this - I really don't know what to do?
After eating in the morning, Xia Jing went to the backyard and looked at the peach tree listlessly. I walked over, and when I stepped on the black soil, I felt a biting chill under my feet, and quickly took a step back.
Xia Jing looked back and said lightly: "Just tell you, don't come here for the time being!" You're not mentally prepared to face them! ”
"What preparation?" I asked blankly.
"Didn't anyone tell you that the greatest harm ghosts do to people comes from fear?"
I hesitated: "I know, they create illusions, they scare people......"
Xia Jing held his mouth, stretched out his index finger and waved: "You are wrong, the biggest fear comes from the human heart!" Even if they don't do anything, you know they exist and you're terrified! You know why Chen
Can my brother come over, but you can't? ”
I shook my head.
"I really don't know if you should say you're lucky or unlucky!" Xia Jing said helplessly: "Okay, since the old man has opened his mouth, let's take it step by step and take our time!" ”
"Wait a minute!" I took a big step forward, and a chill passed through the soles of my feet.
"Ding Ding ~ Ding ~ Ding ~" A rapid copper bell sounded in my ears, and the chill passed through the bones like an electric drill, jumping all the way up, freezing me into a cold sweat.
Xia Jing said with a surprised face: "You are so stubborn! She looked up at the sun rising from the clouds, a smile on her face, "Then let's see how long you can last!" ”
"Lin Shan!" Xue Chen came to the backyard and was about to go over, but was stopped by someone - "Brother Chen, don't worry! ”
I wanted to quit, but when I heard Xia Jing's words, I knew that she had the heart to test me again, so I could only grit my teeth and continue to persevere.
The warning sound of the brass bell did not stop, and when the chill rushed overhead, the sound became more and more rapid. I thought it was the extreme, but a new round of pain came from the soles of my feet. It seems to have a sharp thorn
The vines were wrapped around and around tightly, and I suddenly felt that the entanglement of the black silk was not worth mentioning at all.
At this time, the petals of the peach tree suddenly fall down without the wind blowing. What's even more strange is that the branches are in full bloom unbridledly, opening and falling, and in a flash, the peach color is flying, and the beauty is thrilling.
And a voice sounded in my head, the beating of my own heart. As if I was about to be stripped alive, I was forced to let out a scream and crouch down with my body in my arms.
"If you don't retreat yet, do you want to be smoked?" Xia Jing said sharply. As soon as the words fell, the flowers that were blooming on the branches stopped abruptly, as if a black shadow quickly burrowed into the ground, and the chill gradually dissipated and recovered
Initial state.
Xue Chen immediately stepped forward, hugged the person out, and asked worriedly, "How is she?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that she was gnawed by the 'corpse spirit', with her physique, she will recover after two days of rest!" Xia Jing said disappreciably.
Xue Chen picked up the person and was about to leave, but Xia Jing stopped him again: "The sun is good today, let her bask in more sunshine and remove the dampness in her body!" ”
I woke up from the pain and found myself lying on the Huali coffee table, and Xue Chen on the side helped me sit up. I saw that Xia Jing was also beside me, her eyes closed, her face calm, vaguely two fetal shapes
Smoke floated above her head.
"Are you feeling better?" She asked, closing her eyes.
"Hmm!" I replied weakly, and at this moment, the pain in my body was no less than that of a whip.
Xia Jing opened his eyes and looked at me, and said appreciatively: "Not bad! Willpower passes! ”
"What about you...... Can you help me? I asked.
"Haven't I been helping you all the time?" She said.
"What else do you want me to do?" I admit that there is a hint of anger in my words, but I really, really hope that she will give me a good time.
A heavy look appeared on Xia Jing's face, she tilted her head to look at the peach tree in the distance, and said, "I haven't solved the matter here yet...... Brother Chen, bring her canvas bag! ”
Canvas bag! It's full of stuff that I'm shying away from, is she finally willing to do it? I looked at Xue Chen, nodded, he turned around and went back to the house, and after a while, he came back with his bag.
Xue Chen handed me the bag, and I took out all the contents - a jewelry box containing a white jade wrench, a soul locking mirror, a rouge box, a copper bell, a codex, and one given to me by the old lady before leaving
Root Torture Stick.
Xia Jing noticed the most inconspicuous copper bell at first sight, but the first thing he picked up was the jewelry box, and muttered, "This thing is so familiar!" ”
"This is Old Man Xia!" I explained.
Xia Jing shook his head: "I didn't mean this!" The circle in this box was made by my father, and I have heard the old man say it a long time ago! She looked at the wrench of the box with a puzzled expression, "Have you been having nightmares lately?"
Body? ”
"Yes!" I said urgently, "I have dreamed several times that a black thread is wrapped around me!" ”
"Do you know how this thing came about?" Xia Jing asked.
"This is the Li family's thing, I don't know where it came from!"
"Oh!" Xia Jing said worriedly: "Although I don't know either, it seems to be the same person as that 'spirit thing'!" ”
"Spirits?" I looked at her puzzled.
Xia Jing put down the jewelry box, turned around and picked up the copper bell, and looked at me: "This copper bell is called 'Soul Bell', it has a strong sense of contact with you, but you can't use it!" ”
