Chapter 115: Death
Du Heng was stunned, the words "sweet peach" echoed in his ears, hovering in his mind, crashing into his soul and squeezing his heart.
Ah Ruo, is she still alive?
Seeing Du Heng's frozen appearance, Sanxiu hurriedly grabbed his hand and said in surprise: "Brother Amu!" Wake up, this is the soul of Sweet Peach! ”
"Her soul ...... Isn't it scattered......" Du Heng tried to focus his eyes and looked at Sanxiu blankly.
"It's not gone! Not scattered! There's still a little bit here, the altar of the Du family is really amazing! ”
Du Heng rubbed his face vigorously and stammered a little: "Then, can you resurrect her?" ”
Sanxiu touched the bud, thought for a while, and said, "Brother Amu, what kind of belongings do you still have on your sweet peach?" ”
"Items?" Du Heng hurriedly removed the strap from his head, "This!" This one! This is Aruo's headband! Originally, I kept it as a memory. ”
Sanxiu took the hairband, tied it to the branch where the bud was, and gently touched the bud with the osmanthus flower at the top of the cinnamon, and then shook his head.
Du Heng's heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom, he was so nervous that his hands and feet trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "What? Isn't it possible? ”
Sanxiu said: "It's not that it can't be done, it's just that the breath of this headband is not enough, and you need a stronger personal thing." ”
"More power?"
Du Heng suddenly thought of the Suhua Sword, which was still missing.
I had interrogated the disciples of the Qu family who came with the little grasshopper before, and they all said that they had never seen Su Hua, and it didn't seem like they were telling lies. Su Hua is not in Qu Jibai's hands now, even if it can only be in Yu Kongsang's hands. It must not be easy to get Yu Kongsang to spit out what he has eaten. The flowers on the left and right are blooming well on the altar, so this matter still has to be considered in the long run, and the Du family can't afford to lose any more troops.
After this day, Du Heng came to the altar every day to talk to this jujube flower. Sometimes it's a whole day, and Sanxiu can only shake the elevator and call him down to eat.
The elevator has been modified by Du Heng, and now it can be used by anyone who has left a special mark. Mozhu became the great steward of the sweet jujube, and occasionally carried a bucket of fairy dew to the altar to water the tree that bloomed the jujube flower. Over time, the tree grew extra thick and had more leaves than the others. Du Heng told her several times not to favor one over the other, so she let a few trees get wet with rain and dew.
The white marble school field is no longer empty, and the new Du family disciples have to go to the school field to learn immortal methods whenever they have free time. And more and more people heard that the Du family was recruiting, and they all came over to enter the hero post, wanting to vote for the Du family. Gradually, the school field began to become crowded, and later even the learning of immortal methods had to be divided into batches.
After asking Du Heng, Ah Cheng quickly opened up a larger school field in the back mountain for everyone to practice.
When Du Heng is in a good mood, he will go to the school to instruct his disciples. Although the disciples are holding ordinary swords, due to the unfamiliarity of the immortal law, there are always those who accidentally cut the stone lamp. Whenever this happens, Du Heng always has to reprimand a few words. Later, more and more disciples were recruited, and more and more people cut the stone lamp, Du Heng couldn't reprimand him, so he arranged all the disciples who were not good at learning to practice on the new school field in the back mountain. The first is to avoid anyone cutting the stone lamp again, and the second is to avoid any guests visiting and embarrassing the Du family.
Mo Zhu arranged all the matters of the sweet jujube clearly, and Du Heng no longer had to bother about finding things. Ah Cheng became the foreman of Ganzao, where it was broken and where it needed to be rebuilt, as long as he rushed over with the Qu family's team, he could always deal with things quickly.
Du Heng never thought that life could be as worry-free as it is now. He had a smile on his face every day, and unless someone cut the stone lamp again, he was happy with everyone.
Only Sanxiu knew that Du Heng was not really happy. She often saw Du Heng sitting on the roof of the main hall looking at the moon in the middle of the night, and sometimes she heard Du Heng's whimpering singing. She knew that it was Du Heng who was missing his wife.
Du Heng sometimes looked at Sanxiu's face and was distracted. Sanxiu would blush at first, thinking that Du Heng was interested in herself, but later she found that when Du Heng looked at herself, she didn't seem to be looking at herself, and as long as she smiled, Du Heng would immediately turn away in disappointment. She also knew that it was Du Heng who was missing his wife. Later, she let Du Heng look at herself, never blushing again, and didn't have to interrupt him with a smile.
This situation lasted for a year or two, and although the days of sweet dates became more and more smooth day by day, the rest of Boshan was not so comfortable. More and more ghosts began to invade the mountain people on Bo Mountain, at first they just threw chickens and ducks, and later even children began to lose them. This made Du Heng feel that the situation had finally become serious.
He gave the sweet jujube to Mozhu and Ah Cheng with confidence, and took Sanxiu to the area around Boshan to investigate. During this investigation, Du Heng found that the situation had developed more seriously than he imagined, and the lost children on Boshan had all become ghost babies, and they would run back to their previous homes at night to kill their parents and relatives, and then those who were killed by ghost babies became more ghosts.
Du Heng and Sanxiu stood next to a deserted ghost village.
There is no family left here, and some are just a few severed limbs and arms, which have been pecked by crows.
Sanxiu closed his eyes, stretched out Gui Yi, and sensed carefully. The osmanthus flowers on the osmanthus are like a few warm flames, flickering brightly and dimly.
Sanxiu opened his eyes, his gaze locked on Dongfang, and his face showed deep worry.
Du Heng said: "How is it?" How did these kids become ghost babies? ”
Sanxiu shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but I sense that there seems to be a lifeless aura in the east, which makes people very uncomfortable." ”
"Breath of lifelessness? Are all the people over there dead? ”
Sanxiu shook his head again and said, "It stands to reason that they should be dead, but they seem to be still moving......
Du Heng's face was also gloomy. Needless to say, this must be a ghost trick by the Kongsang Yu family.
The two of them rode eastward. At first, the clouds were white under your feet, but the further you went east, the darker they became. In the end, the downward line of sight was so dense that I couldn't see anything clearly.
The two pressed the cloud head and came to the ground, only to see the dazed walking corpses everywhere. As soon as Du Heng's feet touched the ground, all the walking corpses suddenly looked at the two of them in unison, and then they screamed like crazy and pounced on the two.
Without waiting for Du Heng to make a move, Sanxiu waved Gui Yi, and the starry osmanthus petals dispersed without wind and floated to the head of the walking corpse. The walking corpse that came into contact with the petals fell silent for a moment, and wandered around in a daze.
"Why are there so many walking corpses here?" Du Heng's hand was still on the hilt of the sword, obviously not at ease with these temporarily harmless walking corpses.
Sanxiu didn't answer Du Heng's question, but just raised Gui Yi, pointed to the east and said solemnly: "Over there, the dead air is even thicker." ”
The two walked briskly eastward and found that there were more and more evil ghosts along the way. There are many kinds of ghosts, and many of them Du Heng has never even seen them, but they seem to know that they are deadly. Fortunately, Sanxiu used Gui Yi's spiritual light to protect his body, so that although the two of them shuttled among the ten thousand ghosts, they did not attract attention at all and avoided a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After passing through a forest that did not see the light of day, their eyes suddenly opened up, and the two of them were suddenly stunned by the scene outside the forest. I saw that on the ground not far ahead, a huge crack stretched dozens of miles away, and countless crimson souls ran out of the crack.
The sky was covered with black clouds, and the red soul light was reflected in a deep purple. The smell of decay in the air dissipated, and waves of heat poured up from the cracks in the ground.
Du Heng exclaimed: "How can these souls be red? Shouldn't they be blue? ”
Sanxiu's face became ugly: "These souls seem to be very angry......"
"And where do these spirits come from? Where does this crack lead? ”
Sanxiu shook his head, and just wanted to get closer to the crack in the ground to take a look, when suddenly a red lightning bolt streaked across the sky, followed by an explosive thunderclap from the clouds. The thunder was full of evil spirits, not like natural thunder, but like countless angry evil beings roaring in unison.
Du Heng sniffed his nose and said that it was not good, this scene seemed to be somewhat familiar.
Sure enough, blood rained down from the sky, and the blood poured down overwhelmingly, and the two of them were drenched in an instant.
Du Heng hurriedly sacrificed the Yaohua Enchantment to cover the two of them inside, temporarily blocking the raging momentum of the blood rain.
Sanxiu wiped his eyes with his soaked sleeves and said, "What's going on?" Why does blood fall from the sky? ”
Du Heng said: "The last time I saw blood rain from the sky, the yin spirit was in charge, and Ah Ruo gave his life at that time. ”
Sanxiu couldn't help but shudder.
Suddenly, the light on the top of Gui Yi flashed unnaturally a few times, and with a "hiss" sound, Gui Yi actually went out!
All the angry souls in the sky quickly swooped down on the two of them. The soul violently collided with the Yaohua enchantment, and only the loud sound of "Dangdang" was left in his ears. The two of them felt as if they were standing in a bell, and their mouths and ears were numb.
Du Heng shouted loudly: "Sanxiu! How so? ”
Sanxiu also shouted: "The blood rain is ominous, extinguishing the fire of Gui Yi's life, it may take a long time to recover!" ”
Du Heng said: "There are too many evils here, and I am afraid that it is not a long-term solution to rely only on the support of the enchantment!" ”
Sanxiu said: "Brother Amu, you hold on first!" I'll find a way to lure them away! ”
Du Heng palmed the sky with both hands, trying to support the Yaohua enchantment.
The sound of the impact was deafening and denser, and suddenly, a small crack opened on the surface of the barrier.
Sanxiu plucked a laurel leaf from the cinnamon and popped it out along the gap. The laurel leaf turned into a green light, like a retrograde meteor shooting straight into the sky. The spirits were like dogs that smelled blood, leaving the two of them behind and chasing after the green light.
Du Heng was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly found that the green light in the distance gradually faded, and finally disappeared.
Oh no, the blood rain has also extinguished the laurel leaves!
As if realizing that they had been tricked, countless souls turned their heads and launched an even more fierce attack on the barrier. The gap in the barrier is getting bigger and bigger, and it's about to be broken!
"Boom!"
The Yaohua enchantment suddenly exploded, and Du Heng and the two no longer had a barrier, and they were exposed.
Du Heng was about to fight to the death, when suddenly two blue lights crossed in front of him, instantly weaving a blue net, netting the angry soul and returning it to the cracks in the ground. The blood rain also stopped, and only the boundless black clouds were still rolling in the air.
Sanxiu exclaimed: "What's that?" ”
Du Heng looked at the faint blue light, and immediately felt confident in his heart.
Two crane-like figures stood on the high slope not far away, and the white clothes of the hunt were like two dazzling stars in this scarlet and purple world.
"Du Gongzi, we meet again!"
