Chapter 31: The Bloodthirsty Beauty Flower
After a rapid gust of wind, a thin wisp of black-red smoke as thin as a hair escaped from the wind and disappeared immediately. Ling Huxuan's figure reappeared, holding the dying flower in his hand. Su Su looked at them, and saw that Ling Huxuan's whole body was intact, and Hua Chengcheng was already scarred everywhere, especially on the beautiful face, there was no trace of beauty at all, there was a bruise, and several wounds were deep and bone-like. Su Su thought to himself, this made Hu Xuan not moved at all to such a beautiful banshee, and he was so ruthless, could it be that he was a glass man? The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, seeing that he was very close to Xiaobao and Ye Ruochen...... Su Su was brainstorming Ling Huxuan's glass career, when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Ling Huxuan.
"Susu, aren't you, can you be distracted like this? We still have something to do, and when the banshee is dealt with, I'll accompany you in a daze. Ling Huxuan said with a grin.
"What's the matter? Haven't you already caught the banshee? Also, Ling Huxuan, did I tell you not to pat me on the shoulder? Su Su said angrily that she hated being patted on her shoulder the most.
"This isn't the real body of the banshee, it should be the trick she used. I don't know where the banshee came from, but it looks like the demon is not weak. She just used a trick to escape from the shell, let's go into this room to see, there seems to be a demonic power fluctuation inside, remember to hold your breath when you go in, the strange fragrance in the room can paralyze people's nerves, and inhaling too much will cause coma. Ling Huxuan said. This kind of incense is emitted by some plant-like demon clans when they hunt their prey, and he often encounters such demon clans when he goes out to practice.
"Oh, no wonder I felt uncomfortable smelling that scent just now." Su Su said clearly.
"I'll go in first, and you will enter later, there are demonic fluctuations in this room." Ling Huxuan said.
Su Su nodded in agreement, she also knew that her current strength was not good enough to deal with the banshee just now, and now she didn't know what kind of demon clan it was in the room, so it was better to listen to Ling Huxuan. Su Su thinks that women, sometimes it's better not to be too strong. In the past, she was a female man, with a neutral personality, bold and informal. Xiaoli once said that she doesn't wear high heels, doesn't pay much attention to her personal image, and lacks femininity in her personality, so be careful that the men in the family will be hooked away. She just laughed it off and didn't change anything. She really got it right.
Now that she has come to this different world, started a new life, and began to examine her past, Su Su thought that since she can't change her big grinning personality, she should at least pay attention to dressing herself, and sometimes she should show the soft side of a woman, so don't be too hard.
Ling Huxuan pushed open the door and entered the room, and Su Su followed in. The first time she saw the scene in the room, she was shocked, because the windows of this room were not open, so it was not too bright, but the whole room was blood-red, as if something had come from it. The room is rectangular, and a partition is made in the middle of the room with a large screen, so that the front part of the room becomes the front and back parts, and the part in front of the screen is like an ordinary room, with beds and dressers and other things. The further they went, the more blood-red the glow grew, as if it was coming from behind the screen.
Ling Hu Xuan used his strength and slashed at the screen, and in an instant, the tall screen cracked a hole from top to bottom, collapsed, and instantly turned into a pool of debris.
Su Su couldn't help but feel sick when she saw the bloody scene behind the screen. Behind the screen is a pool about three meters wide, made of round stones, filled with red blood, a little girl about three or four years old is soaked in blood, she is only wearing a big red belly pocket, combing her buns, her skin is like clotted fat, and her small face is delicate and lovely. On the roof above the pool hung several chains as thick as the mouths of bowls, and on each chain hung a man, the green branches of the little girl's limbs, extending into the wounds in their abdomen. The men who were hung in chains were long dead, leaving only a shriveled skin wrapped around the bones, which looked like skeletons from a distance, and were terrifying. On the three walls surrounding the blood pool, there are many pictures of beautiful women in brocade clothes, which is in stark contrast to the blood pool.
And the blood-red light came from the little girl, who sat in the middle of the pool of blood with her eyes closed, indifferent to their arrival, as if she were asleep.
"Why is this little girl so weird? Hey? She looked like the banshee who had just escaped. Su Su said in surprise.
"Well, let's take her back later, this little girl must have something to do with the banshee who escaped just now, she fled in a hurry just now, and she will definitely come back to find this little girl." Ling Huxuan said.
After he finished speaking, he swung his knife and cut off the green vines that extended into the dry corpse, and at the moment when the vines broke, a large amount of viscous green liquid sprayed out from the fracture of the vines, splashing all over the ground, and the ground dripping with green liquid seemed to be splashed with sulfuric acid, corroding shallow holes of different sizes.
The little girl who was soaked in the pool of blood was also suddenly awakened, opened her eyes like shining stars, and looked at Ling Huxuan and Su Su curiously, and new vines grew on her limbs, waving lightly in the air.
While the little girl was observing them, Ling Hu Xuan quickly flew to fish the little girl out of the pool, tied her with a fairy rope, picked it up with one hand and threw it on his shoulder, and prepared to continue to explore this wing room with Su Su.
Suddenly, the three walls around the blood pool shook violently, and after a burst of white light, the beautiful women walked down one by one on the painting. When they saw Ling Huxuan and Su Su, they knelt on the ground and thanked them repeatedly, Su Su hurriedly asked them to get up, she hadn't figured out the reason for being thanked.
After these women in Luo Rong got up, they cried to Su Su, and Su Su took a closer look and found that these were the women who had been killed by the banshee. Su Su couldn't help but sigh in her heart while listening to them, they were so young and delicate, but they were killed by the banshee.
"So, after you were killed by the banshee, she captured your soul and locked it in the painting?" Susu asked. According to the female ghosts just now, she has determined that the series of murders is indeed committed by the banshee.
"Well, not only did she kill us, but she also locked us in the painting, and every day she went outside to help her lure some innocent people over for this girl to eat." One of the women, dressed in a teal shirt, said indignantly.
"If it weren't for this chivalrous man who cut off the vines that connected the girl to these dried corpses, we might have been locked up in the painting forever and couldn't come out." Another woman said gratefully.
She told Su Su and Ling Huxuan that the dried corpses hanging around this blood pool were actually the lock spirit array laid by the banshee, and this formation was used to lock up several of their female ghosts. If the vines continued, the formation would not break, and I don't know why, a few of them had no way to get close to the vines, but fortunately, Su Su and Ling Huxuan came here and inadvertently broke the formation to rescue them.
"You're welcome." Ling Huxuan said to the female ghosts, he turned to look at Su Su after speaking, and said with a solemn expression, "Let's go first, the banshee is not dead yet, and she may come back at any time." When I fought with her just now, I felt that her demonic power was not weak, and now I know that she will be such an evil formation, raising ghosts and setting up formations so close to us, and we don't know anything about it. I'm afraid we're no match for her, so we'll have to go back and think about it for the long haul. â
"Well, that's too, after I go back, I'll check Mulan Shenglingzhi and see what the origin of that banshee is." Susu agreed.
Although she can now check the object she wants to check without taking out the Mulan Life Spirit Will, if the object is like the banshee this time, who only knows her appearance but doesn't know her name, it will be a little troublesome. It is necessary to use a large amount of spiritual power in a quiet environment to condense the appearance of the banshee in the sea of consciousness before you can access her information. If there is interference from the outside world, she is easy to go mad, her three souls and seven spirits are unstable, and she is easy to be taken away by demons with ulterior motives, not to mention that the banshee will return at any time.
Since these female ghosts had only become new ghosts and could not be exposed to the outside sun, Ling Huxuan took out a simple oil-paper umbrella from his storage ring and put all the female ghosts into the umbrella one by one. The backyard of Wanfu Restaurant was also a street away from Jubaolou, and they quickly returned to the back house of Jubaolou.
After Su Su returned to her room, she checked Mulan Shenglingzhi, she condensed the image of the banshee in the sea of consciousness, and the corresponding information of the banshee immediately appeared.
This banshee's name is Hua Allure, it is a yellow peony in the Jiuqu Valley, the aura in the Jiuqu Valley is very abundant, she unconsciously absorbed the aura of heaven and earth for more than a thousand years, cultivated into a fine, and then became a peony flower demon. Later, she cultivated the Demon Skill One Day Xuanxue Technique, and her combat power was equivalent to that of a ninth-level demon beast of the mortal rank, and her current demon age was three thousand two hundred and seventy years old. She is good at skills one by one, the flower of flesh and blood, which is the most powerful move in her demonic skills, and this trick is to use a kind of magic heart method to forcibly separate a part of her own primordial spirit and condense it into a clone.
The appearance of this doppelganger is exactly the same as that of a cultivator's childhood, except that he did not form his own consciousness at the beginning, just like an ignorant child. The perversion of this magic skill is that this doppelganger can transmit the absorbed nutrients to the cultivator, allowing the cultivator to increase his spiritual power and skills at twice the speed. If a cultivator cultivates a doppelganger according to his own thoughts and wishes, when the doppelganger reaches the enlightenment stage and has his own thoughts, he will always be loyal to the cultivator and become a great help to the cultivator. It's just that such a perverted magic skill also has an Achilles' heel, that is, when the cultivator's doppelganger absorbs nutrients, it is when the cultivator is the weakest, no wonder such a powerful peony flower demon will flee in a hurry.
After Su Su read the information of the peony flower demon, he collapsed due to the excessive use of spiritual power, and lay back on the bed to rest for a while. She secretly thought in her heart, could the little girl she and Ling Huxuan bring back the clone of the peony flower demon? No wonder she is so similar to the peony flower demon. Su Su took a bowl of spiritual spring water from the space and drank it, and after recovering some of his body, he walked out of the room and told Ling Huxuan and them the information about the peony flower demon he had found in Mulan Shenglingzhi.
Bai Shuangshuang was shocked when she heard this, the murderer of this series of murders turned out to be Hua Chengcheng, the sister she used to be in the valley, and later her rival in love. She couldn't help but be stunned, she hadn't seen her for so many years, how did Hua Chengcheng become like this, the previous Hua Chengcheng was a banshee who didn't even dare to step on an ant. Although Bai Shuangshuang was robbed of her lover by Hua Chengcheng one by one Guan Qin Yue before, she never had any doubts about Hua Chengcheng's gentle character, that is a gentle and kind-hearted banshee.
After Guan Qinyue heard this, he fell into deep thought, that year, because he wanted to refine an elixir, he went to the legendary Valley of the Elixir to find it. He still remembers that the sky was blue, and the breeze blew in his face, sending a pungent scent of herbs. On the green grass under the sun stood a lovely girl carved in pink, and her immature and beautiful face vaguely revealed an attraction, which made him involuntarily want to get closer. That was the scene when he saw the white frost for the first time, and at a glance, he knew that the white frost was the love of his life, which was the so-called love at first sight.
After that, he stayed behind to accompany Bai Shuangshuang to practice together. In order to help White Frost Frost speed up his cultivation progress, the matter of refining the pill was put on hold by him.
One day, a woman in a tender yellow dress came to look for White Frost, and the woman couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when she saw Guan Qinyue in the cave where White Frost lived. She hurriedly said a few words to Bai Shuangshuang and left, and later Bai Shuangshuang told him that the woman was the peony flower demon in the valley and her friend.
Since then, Hua Chengcheng has often taken the initiative to appear in front of Bai Shuangshuang and him, and hints that he has a good impression of him from time to time. He once said to Hua Chengcheng separately and clearly that he only likes white frost, but Hua Chengcheng didn't care about it, and still pestered him. And often inquired about his preferences at the hoarfrost.
He still remembered that Bai Shuangshuang jokingly said that Hua Chengcheng regarded him as an idol and often asked her about him. One afternoon, Hua Chengcheng told him that there was a good Jinding alchemy furnace in the cave where she lived, which was very suitable for refining middle-grade pills, and he knew as soon as he heard that Hua Chengcheng must have asked Su Su about his need to refine that pill, although he did not have an alchemy furnace in the valley now, he didn't want to contact Hua Tingcheng alone, so he resolutely refused her invitation.
A few days later, Hua Chengcheng said to Su Su that she had a good fruit wine there that had just been brewed, and today she specially invited Bai Shuangshuang and Guan Qinyue to taste the wine and enjoy the flowers.
Guan Qinyue was about to refuse, but Bai Shuangshuang agreed unsuspectingly. He didn't want to go, but was persuaded by the white frost. After that wine, the white frost was already drunk, and fell asleep on the table.
Hua Chengcheng was still very sober, and Guan Qinyue didn't drink much because she was worried about what tricks Hua Chengcheng was playing. When he saw that the white frost was drunk, he prepared to get up and go back with the white frost.
Hua Chengcheng told him that the alchemy furnace was not far away, and if he needed it and didn't want to refine the pill from her, he could let him take the alchemy furnace back to the white frost's residence and return it when it was used up.
Guan Qinyue saw that Hua Chengcheng said this, so she carried Bai Shuangshuang to the stone bed of the cave, and took her back after taking the alchemy furnace. It's a pity that he didn't know, and because of this go, he broke off his relationship with the white frost.
After taking him left and right for a long time, Hua Chengcheng stopped in an underground cave, which was about the size of an ordinary chamber, and he was about to ask Hua Chengcheng why he hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly smelling a strange fragrance, Guan Qinyue was annoyed that he was too negligent, this fragrance was the incense of the plant demon clan, although he was a white fox clan, it was difficult to resist it without any precautions. He was so angry that he slapped at Hua Chengcheng, but he passed out in the next second.
When he woke up again, he had no memory of the previous time with the white frost, only a smiling face in front of him. Guan Qinyue only felt that the woman in front of her seemed to be the most important person in her. Who was the woman, he asked? The woman claimed to be his wife.
Guan Qinyue believed it, and when they walked outside together, they saw the white frost who was sleeping soundly, and he asked who it was, and Hua Chengcheng said that it was her friend, but she always liked to come to their residence to seduce Guan Qinyue. Later, when Bai Shuangshuang woke up, he saw that Guan Qinyue was ruthless to him, so he left angrily.
After a period of sadness, Bai Shuangshuang didn't see him feel distressed at all when he cried and begged Guan Qinyue, let alone change his mind, but on the contrary, he loved Hua Chengcheng very much. The hoarfrost was greatly stimulated, and he left the valley angrily, and there was no time for him to go.
After Guan Qinyue and Hua Chengcheng lived in the valley for a while, Guan Qinyue always felt that his heart was empty, as if he had lost a treasure, but as for what it was, he couldn't remember.
One afternoon, Hua Chengcheng was cultivating in the cave, and Guan Qinyue was collecting herbs in the valley. Recently, he had been refining pills for himself every day, because he felt that he must have suffered from soul loss, otherwise he would not have those symptoms.
When he was collecting a spiritual herb, he was confronted by a Yunyou Dao Master, who shook his head and sighed when he saw him. Guan Qinyue was very puzzled, he didn't understand why this Dao Chief, who had never seen before, shook his head when he saw him, and he expressed the doubts in his heart. The Taoist chief asked him if he often felt that there were important people or things that he couldn't remember, but he seemed to have zĂ i. He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the chief for a solution. The Dao Chief took out a black pill the size of a pigeon's egg from his sleeve pocket and threw it to him. Guan Qinyue swallowed it directly after taking it, and he intuitively felt that the Dao chief had no malicious intent.
After he swallowed the elixir, he suddenly felt a cool and comfortable feeling emanating through his body. After a while, he felt a splitting headache and pain, and fragments of his previous memories appeared in his mind one by one. At this point, Guan Qinyue knew what he had done wrong that he regretted. He hurriedly thanked the Dao Chief, who waved his hand so that he didn't have to be polite, and jokingly told him that if he had given him poison just now, then Guan Qinyue would have to die now and couldn't die anymore.
After the Taoist chief finished speaking, he sighed again, and said to him, the person who fed him the forgetful grass must know his character very well, and he is so easily gullible to others, no wonder he will be succeeded by that person.
As soon as Guan Qinyue heard what the Taoist chief said, she completely understood why she had amnesia. The Forgetful Grass is the most poisonous herb in the Five Realms, and to say that it is poisonous not only means that it will kill ordinary people on the spot, but also that it has another effect, making demons or even immortals forget their feelings and lose their memories one by one. No matter how much the demon or fairy who takes the Forgetful Grass loves his former lover, after taking the Forgetful Grass, he will completely forget it and fall into a short coma. And the moment he wakes up, the first person he sees will be regarded by him as the love of his life. It's just that after the forgetfulness grass is picked, it must be taken immediately, otherwise it will lose the effect of forgetfulness, like an ordinary poisonous weed.
Legend has it that in the entire Five Realms, there is only one indefinite Taoist who has refined the antidote to this kind of forgetful grass, and whether this Taoist chief is willing to give the antidote also depends on the mood.
Guan Qinyue sighed in his heart that his good luck had made him fortunate to meet this master, otherwise he would have regretted it for the rest of his life. He then took out a palm-sized golden bag and handed it to the Taoist chief to express his gratitude. The golden bag contained the summoning order of the White Fox Clan, and after he told the Taoist chief how to use it, the Taoist chief did not shirk it, and indifferently put it in his sleeve pocket.
Then Guan Qinyue said goodbye to the Dao Chief, and he thought that he was living with a vicious and scheming banshee every day, so he was angry, and he wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. But now he has more important things to do, and that is to find White Frost and ask for her forgiveness. So he set out on a long journey, searching for every place where hoarfrost might appear.
Guan Qinyue thought to herself, after searching for so many years, now the white frost finally let him find it, but he didn't expect that Hua Chengcheng would run out and make trouble again. When he left before, he felt that Hua Chengcheng was also quite pitiful, and because he was in love with him, he fed him the forgetful grass, so he didn't kill Hua Chengcheng, who was still very weak at that time, and just wanted her to do it for herself. Unexpectedly, the current Hua Allure City has become even more intense than before, not only vicious, but also so bloodthirsty. Crazy enough to practice magic skills, it's really incorrigible. No matter how powerful she is now, she can't be appeased this time.
After Su Su finished talking about the information of Hua Allure, everyone discussed together how to hunt and kill Hua Cheng.
"Susu, I think you have to tell Uncle Yi about the progress of the matter, so that the guards in the city can capture Hua Allure with us." Ling Huxuan reminded.
"Well, I plan to do the same, you can help send a message to Uncle Yi, ask him to come now, just so that everyone can discuss the plan to capture and kill Hua Allure." Su Su whispered to Ling Huxuan. Although she later practiced the art of communication, she was not skilled enough and often sent messages in the wrong place. For this reason, she has been laughed at by Ye Ruochen and Xiaobao I don't know how many times, so she whispered to Ling Huxuan, she doesn't know why, now when she encounters something, she will want to ask Ling Huxuan for help.
Ling Huxuan understood Su Su's careful thoughts, so he didn't say much, took out a paper crane from his storage ring, and recited the magic trick and sent it out. Within a moment, he received a reply, and Yi Shuihan said that he would come over immediately.
Not long after receiving this message, Yi Shuihan led a team of Qingxi City guards to the back house of the Treasure Tower.
