Chapter 973: Preparing to Hunt Ghosts
Zhou Xinmiao's tent was very lively.
A wizard was casting spells in her tent, and the grotesque-sounding chants that came out of the wizard's mouth made people feel like their hearts were being pinched, as if if they were not careful, they would be choked by the throat. There was an unfamiliar smell wafting from the tent, and the smell was extremely unpleasant.
Zhou Xinmiao sat in the inner room reverently, her eyes closed, and she had words in her heart.
Soon, the ceremony ended.
Xiangmeng walked in with a glass of runic water.
"Princess, this is the talisman that the wizard asked for you. The wizard said that after drinking this, the princess could get rid of her nightmares. ”
Zhou Xinmiao hurriedly took it.
The smell of the rune water was very weird, and the smell was disgusting, but Zhou Xinmiao didn't think about it, took it, pinched his nose and drank it.
No matter how bad it is, it's better than having nightmares.
Zhou Xinmiao drank the talisman water and felt that the whole person was a lot more relaxed.
The wizard was sent out by Xiang Meng himself.
There was a lot of talk on the prairie for a while.
Some say that the princess is not in good health, and I am afraid that she will not be able to support her for long, and some people say that women interfere in politics, and the gods are unwilling to let her go.
At this time, rumors about Zhou Xinmiao and Si Chen had already spread on the grassland.
Zhou Xinmiao has no skills, so he simply ignores it, anyway, as long as Dadar's iron ore is opened, those rumors will be self-defeating, and they will find that there is nothing bad about women being in power, at least, they can develop the tribe into wealth.
Zhou Xinmiao drank the talisman water. I have a lot of peace in my heart.
Xiangmeng asked her, "Miss Ji's medicine is still available?" ”
Zhou Xinmiao thought about it, and then muttered softly: "I took Miss Ji's medicine." I did feel a lot less tired, and my headaches were reduced, so it would have been better if I hadn't had nightmares. ”
It means that I want to eat.
Xiangmeng understood, and after a deep sigh, he said: "The princess just drank the talisman water, so don't use it today, so as not to have any collision." Tomorrow. The slave and maid will help you boil the medicine. ”
Zhou Xinmiao was very satisfied with this arrangement, so she nodded.
Night was falling.
Xiangmeng looked at the sky outside. Then he said: "Princess, the hour is not early, the slave and maid are waiting for you to sleep peacefully!" ”
Zhou Xinmiao palpitated slightly. She was afraid to dream of that grimace again, and she thought about it. Then he asked Xiangmeng: "Are all the wizard's talismans hung up?" ”
Xiangmeng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the princess, the tent is hung all around, and the talisman water is also sprinkled, and the talisman is pressed in your sleeping tent and under the pillow!" ”
Zhou Xinmiao calmed down and let Xiangmeng serve and freshen up, and then lay down.
In the first half of the night, Xiangmeng never slept. was afraid that Zhou Xinmiao would have a nightmare, she listened to it a few times and felt that Zhou Xinmiao was breathing a long time. It seemed that she was sleeping peacefully, so she put her mind at ease, lay down on the couch and closed her eyes.
In the second half of the night, Zhou Xinmiao woke up from a chill, she was still in a dream, half-asleep and half-awake. I only felt the cold wind swishing on my body. Zhou Xinmiao felt that she was unfavorable for the passing years, and finally had a good night's sleep. As a result, it made people wake up from the cold.
She opened her eyes and wanted to shout Xiangmeng to see if the yurt room was opened by the wind, otherwise how could it be so cold!
As a result, when she opened her eyes, she immediately regretted it.
No, she shouldn't be awake at the moment, but dreaming, otherwise, why would she see that grimace again?
The ghost stood half behind the curtain, looming half of his body, his body completely black, and his face was still miserable and white.
Zhou Xinmiao wanted to scream, but found that he couldn't open his mouth.
She must have had nightmares and saw ghosts again, otherwise why would she feel cold! It must have been that ghost's resentment was too heavy, and the wind was gusting, which made her have the illusion of coldness.
Zhou Xinmiao's whole body trembled, and she shrank into the quilt vigorously. It was just a dream, it didn't hurt herself at all, she hid and waited until dawn.
Qin Daixin looked at Zhou Xinmiao's self-deceptive appearance and felt very interesting.
She walked towards Zhou Xinmiao step by step, her footsteps were heavy, and every step she took seemed to knock on Zhou Xinmiao's heart.
Zhou Xinmiao also seemed to hear it, and trembled even more.
The corners of Qin Daixin's mouth under the mask pulled out a mocking arc, thinking how powerful she was, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
She came slowly to her bed, and made a voice that seemed almost desperate, weather-like, somewhat rough.
After Zhou Xinmiao heard this, her eyes widened in disbelief, and then tears flowed uncontrollably.
She was scared, so scared.
Scarier than ever.
The voice of this evil ghost reminded her of a person.
Cui Dazhong's mother-in-law, that person knew something that shouldn't have been known, so she had people drug her, making her look like she was sick, and the person was gone in less than half a year.
Could it be that she came back and asked for her life?
Zhou Xinmiao's tears became more and more fierce.
The voice of the evil spirit was clearly that of an old woman.
Zhou Xinmiao trembled like a sifting chaff.
Qin Daixin's purpose has been achieved, she just wants Zhou Xinmiao to know that the Vana witch doctor will not work for her at all.
She smiled, and found the game of cat and mouse even more interesting.
Zhou Xinmiao felt that the cold aura had dissipated a lot, but she didn't dare to poke her head out of the quilt, nor did she dare to close her eyes again.
At this moment, she was a little unconvinced that she was dreaming. Yiqiē is too real, her fear seems to be leaking out of her bones, the rough voice is so real in her ears, her tears are hot, and the quilt is stuffy, as if it will make people faint at any time.
It's too real.
Zhou Xinmiao was silently crying, but her brain was running rapidly.
She really wanted to go out and have a look, but she was afraid that the ghost wouldn't go.
Don't shout incense dreams?
In case I am in a dream, I am afraid that Xiangmeng will still not hear anything.
Zhou Xinmiao gritted her teeth and thought to herself, if this was a ghost in a dream, then no matter what she was. It doesn't really hurt itself, but on the contrary, what if it's not a dream? If the grimace is a person, he comes again and again to scare himself. But he never hurt her.
Zhou Xinmiao took a deep breath and slowly rubbed her head outside, she carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, but she didn't see anything.
Zhou Xinmiao slowly lifted the quilt and sat up, suddenly feeling a numbness in her chest, and then her eyes rolled and fell.
Qin Daixin hurriedly caught her and lay her down. Only then did he leave.
The next day, Zhou Xinmiao woke up again under the call of Xiangmeng.
Xiangmeng saw Zhou Xinmiao's nervous little eyes. There was also a tired look, and my heart suddenly chuckled.
She asked cautiously, "Princess, how did you sleep yesterday?" ”
Zhou Xinmiao didn't know the bottom of her heart. She saw the ghost again last night, but she didn't know if it was a dream, or if the ghost was a human?
She became suspicious.
"Pour me a glass of water."
Xiangmeng hurriedly poured a glass of warm water for Zhou Xinmiao.
Zhou Xinmiao took it and took a sip, her hands kept shaking, so much so that the water spilled out.
Xiangmeng secretly said badly, and carefully observed Zhou Xinmiao's demeanor.
Zhou Xinmiao held the teacup in a daze, and said after a while: "Did you hear any sound last night?" ”
Xiangmeng shook her head and only said, "The slave has been guarding the princess, seeing that you are sleeping peacefully." Thinking it was okay, I was relieved and fell asleep. It's the slave who deserves to die. ”
Zhou Xinmiao only said: "You have been busy yesterday, and it is fateful to fall asleep, this matter is not up to you." ”
Xiangmeng said again: "Princess, did you dream again, that." ”
Zhou Xinmiao closed her eyes and sighed, and when she opened her eyes again. I can't hide the doubts in it.
"I don't know if I'm dreaming or if I'm ......" she became more and more confused.
Xiangmeng understood the meaning. Immediately exclaimed, "Ah, you, do you mean that someone deliberately dressed up as a ghost to scare you?" ”
Yes and no.
"Do you remember Cui Dazhong's mother-in-law?"
Xiangmeng's heart trembled, and she only said, "Is the princess suspicious of Uncle Cui?" "How Cui Dazhong's mother-in-law died, Xiangmeng knew it in her heart.
Zhou Xinmiao lowered her voice and said, "Last night, that ghost made a strange sound, it sounded very old, just like the voice of Cui Dazhong's mother-in-law. "Cui Dazhong's mother-in-law is mute, she can't speak, and when she opens her mouth, she has a whining sound.
Xiangmeng was startled, and then the six gods got up, thinking that it was really a wronged soul who couldn't ask for his life? Then he thought: There are a lot of lives in the hands of the princess, why is Cui Dazhong's mother-in-law found back?
"Does the princess suspect that someone is making trouble? Do you suspect Choi Dae-jung? Unconsciously, Xiangmeng changed his name to Cui Dazhong.
Zhou Xinmiao shook his head, sighed lightly, and then said, "He, he doesn't have that ability." ”
"That ......"
Zhou Xinmiao rubbed her forehead and said, "Help me up." ”
"Yes."
Xiangmeng hurriedly waited for Zhou Xinmiao to get up, put on a simple dress, and after freshening up, Zhou Xinmiao talked to Xiangmeng about his doubts again.
"You go out quietly and inquire about the guards and patrols to see if they find anything. Anomalies, no matter how big or small, must be reported. Also, keep this matter secretive and don't be too public. "The fact that a sorcerer was invited to exorcise evil spirits has caused an uproar, so it is impossible to make a big deal about it in secret.
Xiang Meng nodded again and again, "The slave understands." ”
Zhou Xinmiao's mouth was full of bitterness, "Whether it's a person or a ghost, you have to find it out." If it's a human ...... But if you make a move, it is impossible to avoid everyone's eyes and leave no trace. ”
"Yes."
Zhou Xinmiao was exhausted, and only said: "You go down!" ”
Xiangmeng said again: "The slave maid will prepare breakfast for you first." ”
Zhou Xinmiao shook her head, although her face was powdered, she couldn't hide her haggardness.
"Where can I eat?"
Xiangmeng stepped forward and persuaded: "How can this work, you can use some." If you don't eat, where will you have the strength to investigate this matter? ”
There is a lot of truth in that.
Zhou Xinmiao thought about it and responded.
Xiangmeng was a little happy at this time, and went down to prepare. (To be continued)
