Chapter 72: Dire Poison (3)

The woman pressed the wooden sign to her chest and nodded slightly.

I carefully undressed her, revealing a skeleton wrapped in a pale blue skin, with a high raised collarbone, well-defined ribs, and a shriveled and hollow waist like an old woman, which did not look like a living human body at all.

"Is he still alive?" When I helped her get dressed and put on her new clothes, she suddenly asked like a puppet.

I naturally knew who she was asking, so I smiled and said, "Although I can't speak, I've been sent to Yichen to help plow the land." When you are ready, the shaman says that you can also move to the mountains and live together. ”

Before I could finish speaking, tears rolled out of her eyes: "He's still alive......" The corners of her chapped mouth quivered, as if she had a thousand words, but she couldn't speak anymore.

"Well, so you have to live well, too." I cut her sideburns and helped her to the door, "Go out for a walk, the illness will get better quickly, look at the treetops......" I raised my eyes and immediately regretted it, I traveled all the way from the Xun hexagram, most of the trees in the valley have green shoots, and the tenderness makes people feel happy. But only on the big tree in the backyard of the female music, there were several black bats hanging in the daytime.

"Ahh

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." I crouched down and hugged her tightly, "At night, when the wooden signs of the spell work, they will naturally leave." ”

After helping the woman back to her room and settling in, I took a pole to chase away the bats from the tree, and then spent the afternoon cleaning her room inside and out.

I originally thought that the so-called Dire Charm was nothing more than a play on everyone's fear of witchcraft, just like the day before yesterday, Ming Yi didn't do anything, but I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep. The so-called mountain ghost knocking on the door is most likely the hallucination of this poor woman out of fear. But if everything is an illusion, how can the bat in the tree just now explain it?

Looking at the woman's haggard eyes, I couldn't bear to leave her alone. Since you have decided to save her, let's save her completely! People always said that I was a mountain ghost, but today, I want to see if the mountain ghost who knocked on the door has a pair of blue eyes like me.

That night, I was lying by the door with a dogskin jacket in my arms, holding tightly the dagger I had borrowed from Yu An.

For the first two hours, I was still trying to pay attention to every move outside the door, and then I couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep in a daze......

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door when I was half asleep and half awake...... Knock Knock......

Mountain ghosts knocking on the door?!

I scrambled to my feet, pulled out the dagger in my hand, took two deep breaths, and shouted, "Who's out there?" ”

The knock on the door stopped abruptly, and there was a dead silence outside.

I felt a chill crawl down my spine and up my neck. At this moment, standing across a piece of door from me is the legendary blue-faced fangs in Qin's mouth, a mountain ghost who eats people and drinks blood?

Resisting the fear in my heart, I clenched my dagger and gently rested my ear on the wooden door. Boom, a voice suddenly exploded in my ears, and my heart stopped beating suddenly.

Boom...... Knock Knock...... In the darkness, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent.

I clutched my chest, gasped a few times, and opened the door with a bang!

I was shocked by the scene in front of me, dozens of black bats with white fangs in the night, flying towards me, I screamed and slashed in the air with a dagger, a few bats fell in response, and the rest still rushed towards me desperately.

"Ahh

I slammed the door shut, leaned against the door panel and gasped for a few breaths, then grabbed a burning stick from the heating wood and rushed out again.

This time, all the bats were squeaky in fright, and the terrifying cries pierced the dark night sky.

"Help meβ€”helpβ€”" The woman cried out as she covered her ears.

"It's okay, it's okay!" I threw down my stick and ran over and hugged her tightly, "It's just a bat, don't be afraid!" ”

The person in my arms gradually quieted down, but my heart was still beating fast, and the ugly face of the bat and the white fangs of the forest lingered in my mind. Could it be that these bats were summoned by Mingyi with the Dire Charm? It's not a mountain ghost knocking on the door, it's a bat? But why did the bat hit the door?

The more I thought about it, the more strange I became, and after helping the woman lie down on the bed, I went out the door again and picked up the torch on the ground.

Something surprising happened again, and hundreds of flies and insects were parked densely on the outer door, and they crawled back and forth on the wooden door in the light of the firelight, forming an eerie symbol. I approached the torch and burned some of the bugs to death, but soon new bugs were taped up, and they seemed to be controlled by a mysterious force.

Fearing that the bats would come again, I kept watch outside the door all night with a torch, and when it was about to dawn, the insects flew away from the door one after another. I took a closer look in the morning light, and saw a dark red charm faintly drawn on the door, and I could smell a strange smell when I got closer.

What is this spell, is this the terrifying divine power of Mingyi?

Obviously, those bats last night knocked on the door again and again to prey on the insects on the door panel, and knocking on the door in the middle of the night had nothing to do with the ghosts of the mountains. But why do insects stick to spells, could it be that there is something strange about the potion that draws the talisman?

In addition to the medical scriptures, there are also several volumes of poison scriptures in the kun hexagram, although there are many strange poisons recorded on them, but I still haven't found a clue to solve the mystery of the Dire curse. The world says that the more beautiful a person is, the more vicious his heart is, and this seems to be not wrong at all. This sorcerer's methods of destroying the Yin people are really eye-opening to me, and I am ashamed of myself.

Since I can't get rid of the Dire Curse, let's just destroy it!

Before nightfall, I took a dagger and dug up all the planks with dark red charms, and I scraped a good wooden door into a pothole. The rest of the night was quiet where nothing happened, no flies appeared, and no bat appeared. I kept watch outside the door all night with my eyes open, and waited for the eastern sky to glow red, and then returned to Yu An's house with my dogskin jacket half-closed eyes.

Yu An scolded me after knowing what I had done. But I didn't think so, the lady of Wuyin wanted to make an appointment with me for April, and she must have a plan in her heart. No matter how honest I have been living in the past few months, or whether it is lively or lively, I am afraid the ending will be the same.

In the following days, I was a dry firewood burned at both ends, and the courtyard of Xun hexagram and hexagram exchange ran back and forth. After more than ten days, the woman in the house and Yu An were almost well after the hexagram exchange, but I couldn't hold on and fell ill. Yichen poured me a pot of medicine, and asked Kuroko to carry me all the way up the mountain and place me in a small room next to the medicine garden.
