Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 188: Dizzying
Rin Shanhai and the apprentice chased after her, and they stopped beside her, seeing her reaction and not daring to speak. She clutched the edge of the stele, the skin on her fingers was punctured, and wisps of red slowly flowed down the uneven sides of the stele.
Could it be that her mother was really killed? No, what are they trying to do?
Looking at Mu Wan's trembling shoulders, Dai Luan cautiously stretched out her hand. Shanhai bent down to look at the monument and felt a tingling pain in the side of his head. I don't know if they're joking or seriously trying to kill them, either way it's disgusting. Dai Luan also saw that name, and was really disgusted.
Mu Wan's tremors did not stem from grief, but from anger.
The small mound of dirt is stacked on the side, it must have been prepared for a while, and some weeds have already taken root. The coffin was probably newly buried, with only a shallow layer of soil sprinkled on it. They quickly cut open the earth, looked at the ordinary coffin, and were silent for a while.
"Open?" Dai Luan asked.
"Hehe, there can still be ghosts in it."
Mu Wan sneered and reached out to lift the coffin board. Shanhai hurriedly stopped her hand, and then gently tapped on the coffin with his knuckles.
Of course, no one spoke, or suddenly jumped out of the coffin. But Shanhai's face is still not good. He took a deep breath and said to them alertly:
"There's something in there."
“…… Is it really a person? ”
Dai Luan took a step back, Mu Wan didn't believe in evil, and stepped forward and stretched out his hand. At this moment, the coffin board suddenly trembled, as if something was really about to pop out. The three of them were startled for a moment at the same time, and then thought that it was just someone pretending to be a ghost. But then, the planks vibrated again, like someone's hand beating inside, responding to the mountains and seas. Shanhai immediately pulled the two back, and in the next moment, the coffin board was suddenly knocked open, and several large snakes of different colors flew out of it, like bows and arrows that were suddenly released, and like splashes of water.
Dai Luan suddenly drew her sword and cut off the stout snake with the momentum of drawing her sword. She aimed very accurately, exactly seven inches of each snake. They were broken and scattered on the ground, still struggling and writhing, until they were completely quiet, and then emitted black smoke.
"It's a trap."
As soon as Shanhai's words fell, the snakes lurking in the cemetery all crept out from all corners, as if they were disturbed. After a while, the severed snake on the ground suddenly jumped again, tangled together, like a messy yarn of different colors wrapped into a ball. Just as they slowly untied themselves, those snake segments were put together again, but some were not spliced on their original bodies, and the color contrast was very strange.
But they did come to life again, and looked at them with cold, menacing eyes.
"If you can't finish killing, run first!"
Shanhai tugged at the sleeves of the two of them and motioned for them to run up the dirt slope. The snakes chased after them, with the clear purpose of running for them. Compared with his peers and even disciples in the same period, Xi Yu was naturally very strong, and he persevered enough time in the face of two opponents with no actual combat experience. However, Ghost Sigh is not an ordinary sword, not to mention that there are two of them, which puts Xi Yu at a disadvantage in a short time. It was clear that it was not Xi Yu's intention to defeat them here, and those snakes must have been ambushed here long ago. And since they can listen to her, everything must have something to do with She.
This side of the hill is very steep, not that it can be as easy to go up as Mu Wan rolling down. Xi Yu was repelled by the ghost sigh, jumped back, and drew his knife to knock down Mu Wan, who was intending to attack. She was not unguarded, she raised her umbrella to stop the blow, and the force of her feet on the raised stone kicked off the stone that had been deeply embedded in it, leaving a large hole and rolling down. Shanhai dodged the falling earth and stones on one shoulder, raised his hand to shake up the dust, Dai Luan stepped on his shoulder, and then stepped on the end of the dust, and finally turned over and stepped on Mu Wan's umbrella, and pulled out Xi Yu's sword with a sword.
Her sword flipped over her shoulder, spun around in the air a few times, and plunged straight into the slope. The blade also shaved off a small piece of braid on her left side, and the ponytail was no longer symmetrical, which looked a little funny.
Xi Yu showed a flustered look for the first time, but it didn't last long. The confidence and poise of a child like hers was unsettling, as if something was waiting for them after that. However, Dai Luan breathed a sigh of relief first, she turned her head and saw the mountains and seas standing in front of her, and there was an indescribable emotion.
"Oops...... I thought I could beat you into a snake pile. Xi Yu was very sorry.
"You don't have any energy on your hands." Mu Wan glared at her, "I've been beaten even harder." Do you want to try it? ”
Suddenly, a black snake snaked from Xi Yu's neck. It pricked up its front and looked at them defiantly. But it didn't look anything special compared to the snakes. It's just that it opens its mouth and spits out not a letter, but a speak.
"You can't be talking about some onmyoji who should have killed you, right?"
This voice is soft, like She Jiu, but it is not the same. But listening to this annoying tone, it must be him himself. Perhaps, this snake is just a stand-in.
"You really know everything." Shanhai looked at him and felt a dull pain in his head.
"That's nature. However, we still know too little about it, and we have to have that mirror...... You brought it, right? ”
"Wait, what do you mean by being killed?" Dai Luan walked up angrily, "Although you did let him kill a lot of important people in Mu Wan, but you don't have any direct interests with her, why should she kill her!" ”
The snake twisted its head slightly and leaned forward. Dai Luan could almost imagine the nasty look of She Jiu raising her eyebrows. He said:
"Hmm...... I did ask Tang Shaoxia to kill her. After all, Wu Yuangui is that idiot, and he still thinks about some old feelings. But that guy and Lord Rotten Moon probably have something else to deal with, so it's delayed...... What a pity. Luckily, I didn't pay the deposit. ”
Mu Wan suddenly raised his hand holding the umbrella, clean and neat, like a knife. The snake wrapped around Xi Yu's shoulder was suddenly cut off, along with a cut of hair on her right side.
It's symmetrical...... Maybe a little bit worse.
"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are too much, too much!"
Xi Yu touched the short hair on both sides distressedly, and the ponytail was about to turn into a sheep's horn.
"I've stayed for a long time, how can you accompany me!"
“…… But long hair is troublesome. Mo Liang, who had been silent, whispered.
"I don't care!"
After saying that, Xi Yu waved his hand, and the snakes under the hillside suddenly sped up, writhing like lightning along the steep slope, drilling, overwhelming, spreading up like a stream going upstream. Mo Liang frowned, holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, brushing the sword body with the other, and his hand stayed at the bone knot for a moment. But he didn't hesitate more, but poured more power into the sword. The blade of the sword glowed with a pale light, like a phosphorus fire burning slowly on the bones in the dark night, lighting up the faded cold dusk.
"Stop."
Chiri suddenly pulled his hand off the sword and pushed him to the side. Facing the swarming group of snakes, Chi Li suddenly pulled out the cloud mirror from his arms. The last rays of light of the sunset, which was about to be swallowed up by distant mountains, fell into the mirror, like a spark falling into sawdust, and everything was lit up in an instant. The dazzling white light reflected out, like a torrent bursting an embankment, rolling down the hillside. Everyone covered their eyes, and the serpents touched by the light let out almost human, terrible screams, both men and women, as if the countless wandering souls in the deserted tomb had been overtaken by some ancient and powerful scripture.
They are like handfuls of dry straw, burning fast and burning out quickly. In an instant, the strange and terrifying snakes of the slope turned into countless black dust, which were annihilated in the twilight, in the mirror light, and in the continuous screams.
Xi Yu was finally suppressed. She was no longer messing around, and she had lost that strong sense of self-confidence. Although the panic did not appear on her face, the silent silence made her faintly feel that she had lost some kind of bargaining chip.
On the contrary, the unbridled shrieks sounded in the night, and they were very loud.
"Hahahahahaha, hahahaha, oh my God, you found it, you found it!" She Jiu's original voice sounded a little empty, and he didn't know where he was hiding, "It's worthy of it, it's worthy of being a cloud mirror...... I knew what the use of that map was, but it really didn't take much effort to get it. Thank you for sending it to the door, thank you so much - alas. ”
The tone of the voice changed, and suddenly there was a little more lamentation.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have left that girl. And let her go home, and she should threaten you or get rid of ...... But that's okay, there are two left. ”
"You bastard, get out of here!"
Mu Wan scolded at the sky. She knew that She Jiu was talking about Xie Hualing. Shanhai hurriedly grabbed her and told her to calm down. Dai Luan and Mo Liang glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at Xi Yu, who was a little lost in his soul. Noticing their gaze, Xi Yu suddenly turned around and was about to run, the two looked at each other again, and got up to chase at the same time.
"Wait, Ah Yu!" Dai Luan shouted as she ran, "Thank you for the ballad!" Where is Ah Ling's sister? In that big house, or somewhere else? Tell me! How is she?! ”
Xi Yu's movements were too fast, and her figure quickly shrank in her field of vision, getting farther and farther away. Running down the slope, she slipped into the woods. At this time, Mo Liang's speed suddenly surpassed Dai Luan. He clutched his sword, and his whole body was surrounded by a soft white light. Wrapped in this light, he was astonishingly fast, as if the child's legs no longer belonged to him. Dai Luan was stunned for a moment, trying to speed up to catch up with them.
The voice disappeared, and Mu Wan was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot. Shanhai took a breath and told her:
"You think about it again."
"What do you think?!"
"Two people." Shanhai said solemnly, "He said two people. ”
Mu Wan was silent, she calmed down and thought about it. In addition to Xie Huayu, the other person is probably her mother. Her mother was still alive, which gave her some comfort. But then, she fell into some kind of worry.
"What if he's lying to us? This guy is scheming, and what he says is a lie. ”
Shanhai patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, saying:
"If you think about it, they won't do anything good by killing her. If you are still upset, we will confront him. ”
I don't know when Ichiri was standing beside him. He crossed his arms and said to Mu Wan:
"Don't panic, your mother and Xie Huayu are indeed alive and well, I can try to take you to meet them. But Mo Liang shouldn't have chased them, and now they have to chase them back. ”
Chiri looked in the direction the children had left, then turned back and glanced at the cemetery down the hill.
