Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 191: Empty Eyes
After a few rounds, Wu Yuangui was not exhausted, but he was tired enough. Mo Liang's moves were pressing forward step by step, and he was not given the slightest chance to breathe. What's even more concerning is that his little child has the strength and endurance to force him into the embarrassment he is now.
He is like a wooden doll held by a thread, never tired.
Chi Li had just shot away the illusion of a snake with a bloody mouth in front of her, and was suddenly hit in the ribs by the tail of another snake, and the sword failed to prevent it. Although it does not break, it also hurts. Chi Li doesn't really understand what Yin-Yang Technique is, and she will never have the upper hand if she deals with She Jiu. Mo Liang was bounced away by a sword and stood with Chi Li. The two men were back to back, each holding on to the enemy in front of him. The four of them stood in a straight line and swirled slowly.
"Don't be so desperate against that kid." Chiri lowered her voice, "Look at your hands!" ”
Mo Liang moved his gaze to the back of his hand, and suddenly found a sharp bone spur poking out of the skin on the back of his hand. It looked dull and dry, like something that sticks out very naturally, as if it was born with itself. He was shocked, the aura on his body dimmed a little, and the bone slowly retracted, no different from usual.
"Sorry...... I'm overdoing it. ”
"It's not just them that you have to watch out for, but also the sword in your hand."
At this time, Wu Yuangui also looked at the sword in his hand, and the blade was full of holes, all of which were cut by Mo Liang's small body. He didn't know why the bones in his hands were so strong, and he didn't know where that nameless power came from. Co-author She Jiu was polite to him, but Wu Yuangui always felt that his request for a replacement was also in his calculations.
"Are you sure you still have to deal with this kid?" She Jiu shouted with a smile in the distance.
“…… Whatever you want! ”
Ikeri was upset. They must be targeted. She Jiu probably knew the origin of the knife, even if he didn't know, if he used his demon power to consume it with the little onmyoji, sooner or later he would force Mo Liang out of the problem. Now it's time to do it quickly.
And Dai Luan and Xi Yu have already gone to another open space. Dai Luan always wanted to leave, but Xi Yu always restrained her. But she slowly saw that something was wrong—if she was blocking her direction, there must be a ghost. As long as you storm it, you can find the location where Xie Huayu is. But this stinky girl is too difficult, although she is younger than herself, she can be upset everywhere. She didn't dare to fight with all her might, because the sword was too important to be broken in this place.
Xi Yu slashed horizontally with a sword, and the air hummed. The wooden sword will definitely break after this blow, but it is naturally more important to save your life. Dai Luan closed her eyes tightly, and her other hand was pressed against the sword, her heart was horizontal, and she was resigned to fate.
The peachwood sword was not broken.
Dai Luan tentatively opened her eyes, but her hand was still not loose, and she was stubbornly against Xi Yu's sword. The wooden sword was wrapped in a dark red shimmer, like a thin shell protecting it. The iron sword did not make any direct contact with the wood, but was blocked by this layer of light that could not be touched. Both of them were stunned for a moment, Dai Luan suddenly took a step back, and Xi Yu followed with another sword. This time, the tip of the sword slashed across the wooden blade, and Dai Luan felt that the touch in her hand was wrong. Raising his hand to touch it, it left a layer of shallow scratches.
The light ...... just now How?
She didn't have time to hesitate, trying to remember how it had felt. But the enemy never gives you a chance to think. At this moment, a deer suddenly rushed out of the bushes not far away, and used its horns to pick up Dai Luan and throw it on his body. The horns are somewhat sharp, and the ass that pokes her hurts. I touched it, but fortunately, the clothes were thick in winter and not pierced. Her free hand hurriedly grabbed the antlers and glanced back at Xi Yu. She froze in place, completely unexpecting this to happen, and then chased after her angrily, but in Dai Luan's eyes, she was still getting smaller and farther away.
Dai Luan herself didn't expect this to happen, but she was somewhat relieved. She looked down and patted the deer on the back, and although she didn't recognize which deer it was, she said tentatively:
"Have we met?"
The deer continued to run. Dai Luan looked at its fur color carefully, and always felt that she was the one that Xie Huayu had ridden.
"Are you going to take me to find Ah Yu?"
It still doesn't speak, it just runs fast on its feet.
Overcoming obstacles, through dense jungles, and pushing aside everything that stood in their way, they finally reached the river. In winter, the river was not completely dry, but it was much less, and the deer carrying her could cross it directly. After crossing this river, a man and a deer came to a small house.
This house is strange and was built separately. There is no building in this area except for it.
Dai Luan jumped off the back of the deer, and had some bad thoughts in her heart. Inexplicable uneasiness took root, sprouted, and grew in my heart. She cautiously approached the house and found that the windows were glued - from the inside. But not some baffles, but messy strips of paper densely glued together.
It can't be a sealed warehouse, right? How can anyone live without opening the window? She glanced back at the deer, but it had already run far away. No way. Dai Luan inhaled deeply, ready to knock on the door. But she hesitated for a moment, but reached out and tried to gently push it away.
I have to say that sometimes her instincts are accurate - the door is not locked. When the door was opened, the creaking sound made people's hearts tremble in the night. The room was dark, but there was no light on the road just now, and through the moonlight seeping in from the door, Dai Luan could vaguely see something. The space in the house is small and there are no tables and chairs in it. There might have been a cabinet against the wall, but it was too dark for her to see. All she could see was the edge of a bed, where the moonlight was flowing. There is a pair of legs hanging naturally next to the bed. Dai Luan's heart was beating hard, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"Isn't this Ah Luan......"
It was the voice she had heard.
"Ah Yu, Ah Yu, you are still alive!"
Dai Luan pushed the door open and rushed in. But just when she was not excited for a moment, there was an even greater agitation in her heart. It's a shock that overrides everything that comes before, a warning to the self.
Don't go over, there's a problem – don't.
It felt abrupt, and her instincts told her that it was the same source as the light that had previously shrouded the sword. It was probably only at special times that she would protect her power, but if she could, she hoped it wouldn't appear again.
"Come on...... I can't move. I want to see you clearly. ”
"It's so dark, why don't you light the lamp......"
Dai Luan cautiously tentatively did not approach easily. Her heart pounded, and her gaze carefully moved up from her legs, trying to find her eyes. But she couldn't see it, because it was so dark. She didn't feel anything similar to demonic energy from Xie Huayu, although she couldn't tell if it was herself, but it shouldn't be a monster.
"I'm here alone, I know everything, I don't need a light."
"Why do you live alone? Did they lock you up? ”
"Yes. Look at this place, there is no direct way to get there. ”
"Aren't you afraid? You're here alone...... So long. ”
"I'm afraid. I was afraid at first, but then I was not afraid. I can't be afraid. If I'm scared, what will my sister do? ”
Dai Luan felt that she should be Xie Huayu, so she relaxed a little and took a few steps. Xie Huayu didn't show any more joy, just stretched out her arm, took her hand, and patted the side of the bed with the other hand.
"Come on, sit down. There are no tables and chairs here, I have wronged you. ”
"Why don't they give you anything."
"The treatment of prisoners."
"Why don't you run away?" Dai Luan asked, "Your skills, it's not a problem to get out of here." ”
"I can't go." Xie Huayu said dryly, "My hamstrings were broken. ”
“……”
There was a terrible silence. But soon, Dai Luan scolded loudly: "Bastard! ”
They sat down for a while, Dai Luan stood up, Xie Huayu thought she was leaving, pulled her, and asked about Mu Wan by the way. Dai Luan said that she was fine, and she came back, and after a while, she found a way to bring Mu Wan to see her.
"Also, are you thirsty?" Dai Luan shook the hem of her clothes, "I was stopped before I came, and I was a little tired from fighting...... I don't like fighting, but I seem to be good at it. I'm thirsty, is there a cup here, is there any water? ”
She asked, rummaging through the room. Xie Huayu didn't speak, so she looked for it herself. I searched around the edge of the cabinet in the dark, but everywhere I could reach it was empty, nothing. She couldn't help but wonder if those wicked people didn't leave her bowls, chopsticks and cups, right? But what's even stranger is probably the food. Apart from the lack of water, there is no rice or anything to eat. Surely they won't be kind enough to send it......
Dai Luan's heart was stirred again, could it be that what she saw was a ghost, but in fact, Xie Huayu was already dead? In the dark, she quietly glanced back and made sure that there was still a shadow by Xie Huayu's side. She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was overly worried. But she soon became apprehensive again—there were many footprints where the moonlight had struck. Look at the direction of the extension of yourself, probably just your own footprints, right? But, but...... But what's wrong?
…… Xie Huayu can't walk, right? But there was dust everywhere, and there was no trace of dragging. The cleanest thing on the ground was probably the distance from the door to the bed, but it was only a little.
It's weird, but I can't say it.
"I, I'll call them over......," Dai Luan moved along the wall to the door, "I'll let Shanhai and Mu Wan see you." ”
"Don't go." Xie Huayu said dryly, "Again—stay with me for a while." ”
Dai Luan shook her head, determined to call someone. She glanced at the window, and suddenly saw that the seals were densely written with words, all red, some kind of charm that she couldn't read. Could it be that Xie Huayu is really dead, trapped in the house by some forbidden technique, in order to maintain the appearance of a human being? Her heart was even more confused, and she hurried to the door.
"I said don't go!"
Xie Huayu's voice suddenly became a little higher. She stood up suddenly, and Dai Luan's legs were so frightened that she held on to the wall with both hands. As a result, Xie Huayu really didn't lie, and she fell down the moment she stood up. Dai Luan was a little distressed, but she didn't dare to go up to help. When Xie Huayu propped himself up with his hands, his face was covered with dust.
Dai Luan's breathing suddenly stopped.
Xie Huayu raised her head and looked at her, but under her eyebrows were two black holes.
