Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 43: Becoming a Monster
In the end, it was Shanhai who opened his mouth.
"It's me who made a promise easily, but broke the rules of others, your grandmother's soul...... He was inconvenient to tell us. Don't blame him, it's their duty, and I'm too self-conscious. If you are dissatisfied, rebuke me. What else can I help you with, you ......"
As he said this, his voice slowly softened. He clearly saw that the white girl's eyes had darkened, from the previous joy to coldness, and then to the anger of the moment.
"Liars ......"
She was trembling, her hair blowing up.
"I'm really sorry, White Girl, we ......"
She suddenly rushed up and pushed the mountains and seas away, and ran towards the depths of the mountains and forests. He almost fell, but fortunately he was pulled by Ah Luan.
"Have you seen Jiyue-kun? He hasn't said yes yet? Hey, it's good, I just made the little girl happy. ”
Shi Wuqi complained, not that he really had much emotion, but just sighed a little. Rin Shanhai shook his head helplessly.
“…… Let's go. ”
The village was in shambles, and they couldn't stay any longer. If you leave here overnight, you may be able to descend the mountain before dawn.
Xiaobai ran to the depths of the forest, facing the night wind, as cold as a knife. It didn't take long for a warm liquid to bloom on the face. As she ran, she wiped her cheeks and looked at them, only to realize that they were not blood, but tears.
She still couldn't hold back her tears.
After hundreds of years of practice, it is very tiring; It's bitter to stand up to the weird eyes of humans. finally got the results, got rid of those contemptuous eyes, and made people and even the little monsters afraid of her, but she was not so happy. Only during the days of living with her grandmother, she felt as if she had really lived, lived happily, and was so happy that all the pain and grievances in the past were worth it.
She got tired of running and finally stopped. Wiping away tears with the back of his hand, he squatted on the ground and gasped. After a pause, she paced a few steps in place, calming her mind a little.
“…… Forget it. ”
She muttered softly. thought that although the group of onmyoji was not very polite to her at the beginning, they finally helped her scare the group of Diao people. She began to wonder, is she too much of an inch?
"Why is it just that?"
"Who?!"
A man's chuckle came from all around, and she looked up alertly, but there was no one in sight, and no one could hear anyone's footsteps. At this time, a few faint sparks gradually gathered in the air in front of her, igniting a dazzling fire. The fire fell to the ground, and in an instant it turned into a beautiful monster.
He lifted the white cigarette stick and gestured slightly in the air.
"That's it, forget it?"
"Who the hell are you?"
Her nails were sharp again, and her eyes were full of hostility.
"Me? To tell you the truth, I'm also an impermanent ghost. ”
Xiaobai looked into his eyes. The pair of eyes were red, and there was a curved and tense golden light in this red.
“…… Are you really? Are you the Taoist priest's friend? ”
"It's not. You're talking about the twilight master. Well, I'm a friend of his. Humans, such arrogant things, can't be trusted. Alas, Jiyuejun is really, but he is just a reincarnated soul, what is there to hide? Could it be that he is doubting your sincerity? ”
"Doubt me?" She raised her voice, "Why?" She is my only relative, what reason do I have not to be sincere? Am I going to go to her and do something bad? ”
"If you are sincere...... I'm telling you, it's not impossible. ”
He came up, and Xiaobai raised his head.
"You're not lying to me?"
"That's nature. However, I did my job anyway. I don't know if you'd like to...... Make a deal? ”
The clouds in the sky were a little thicker, slowly obscuring the moon behind them.
Previously, the Lord of the Hundred Bones quietly led the horse out. About half an hour later, two horses were a little tired because they had not rested well. So they reined in their horses and prepared to rest where they were. It was very cold in the mountains at night, and Ah Luan couldn't stop shivering. When the mountains and seas lit a fire, Mu Wan was also so cold that he stomped his feet.
She glanced towards the place where she had left on the mountain, suddenly stunned, grabbed the corner of Shi Wuren's clothes with her backhand, pointed over with the other hand, and asked them:
"Do you see there, the village we left from?"
The mountains and seas just burned the firewood. He raised his head and looked in the direction Mu Wan was pointing with the others. On the pitch-black mountain in between, there was a long and narrow ribbon of red light at the half-waist. A large amount of pitch-black smoke kept coming out, as if it was burning.
"Shi Gongzi, the three girls will leave it to you."
Without waiting for Shi Wuqi to reply, Rin Shanhai jumped onto the nearest treetop, and disappeared into the forest in three or two steps. Several people looked at each other, no one spoke, but they all had the answer in their hearts.
Shanhai was alone, and soon returned to the village. At this point, the place was in flames. The eaves of the roof he had stepped on collapsed in an instant, and he was almost planted in a fire pit. In the heat, everything became distorted, and the last time he was in the fire was at Kashibuya's house, but this time, the scale of the fire was much larger.
He heard the little boy crying, looked around, and soon saw the child at the boarding house. The eaves above were burning, and he immediately rushed up to pick up the child, and the next moment the eaves collapsed, joining the fire in the courtyard.
"You're meddling again."
This time, it was the white girl who looked at him condescendingly.
She was back to the woman she had been before, and she was more and more beautiful by the dazzling firelight, but the nine tails behind her had turned into solid shapes. Her eyes were still so bright, but they were constricted under the bright light, looking vicious and ruthless.
Rin Shankai is not nonsense. The child was crying on the side, and he didn't care about coaxing, so he took out a talisman from his bosom to draw water to extinguish the fire. Although there is no complete preparation, suitable ritual equipment, and no complete set of rituals, it is better than nothing. But no matter how he recited the mantra, the talisman remained unchanged like a piece of waste paper.
Xiaobai snapped his fingers, and the spell burned to ashes.
"Don't waste your efforts, you can't extinguish this demon fire."
Shanhai raised his head again and stared at her carefully. He noticed a faint pattern of flowers on the right side of her face, something he hadn't seen before.
"White Maiden! Didn't Shi Gongzi help you before, why did you do this! ”
"This account, a sum is a lump sum. If it weren't for the love of the Lord of the Hundred Bones, I would still be able to let you go. If you don't get out, I'll be unkind to this kid. ”
When she said this, her tone was cold, as if she had changed person. Shanhai almost wondered if the little girl who had been laughing at the prank earlier was the same person as her.
The fire burned badly. Rin Yamakai knew before he arrived that he was late.
The four of them waited below for a long time, and the fire became more and more terrifying, but it did not spread. Mu Wan was annoyed by it, so he turned around and looked down the mountain. Ah Luan and Miss Qi sat on a big rock, leaning against each other, and were about to fall asleep, but Miss Qi was also motionless like a stone. The sky in the east was not yet dawn, and the moon was still hidden. Under the dark night sky, only the two fires, one large and one small, burned quietly on this mountain.
"I'm afraid the mountains and seas can't save them."
Shi Wuqi said lightly, refilling the firewood into the fire. He didn't care about life and death.
"Yes."
"Are you still thinking about the day? Well, I think this demon fire has a similar demonic aura. ”
"I thought that Huangquan was full of people in December, who knew that there would be a demon mixed in. When I first met him, I didn't think much of it. ”
"I can see it."
"Come on, you."
"Trick you into having candy? In the eyes of the six impermanences, there is the golden light of the three sun and the moon, don't be bad at it. ”
Mu Wan didn't want to answer. She knew that she didn't have enough spiritual power, and she really couldn't see it. What's more, it is impossible for the Immortal Moon Monarch to take the initiative to show the Huangquan Bell, so she naturally can't come to a conclusion. I really don't know what the Lord of Naluo asked him to do when he was going to fight impermanence.
There was a slight noise from the canopy. They all raised their heads, and even Ah Luan woke up. The mountains and seas fell in front of them, and their faces were calm.
Shi Wuqi asked, "How?" But the cat demon did it. ”
"Yes."
"Looks like her anger won't be able to quell......" Luan rubbed her eyes sleepily.
Shan Hai sighed tiredly. There was sadness in his eyes that could not be concealed, and his face was very haggard.
Mu Wan comforted him: "You can't save everyone...... We did everything we could, don't blame ourselves too much. ”
"Although I feel powerless, I vaguely feel that someone is getting in the way."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I saw that there was an extra red flower on her face, and she had a strange demonic aura. I always felt that this demonic spirit did not belong to her. ”
Mu Wan suddenly became alert, and she immediately asked what Hua Tian looked like.
"Isn't it like a lotus flower, and it glows like gold dust?"
"Exactly. How do you know? ”
Shi Wuqi stepped forward and responded to the mountains and seas, which was the mark between the eyebrows of the Immortal Moon Monarch. After a moment's thought, he continued:
"I know that a big monster with extremely strong demon power can leave a mark on other demons. Using this as a medium, the little monsters can also borrow their magical powers and spells. However, this is also a great erosion of itself, not to mention that the owner of the brand usually does something to the coat of arms to make them become a spell for his own use. ”
"I've heard this too," Mu Wan also lowered his face, "This means that there is some kind of connection between the two, and this kind of thing can be done in reverse - controlling them is threatening the little demon to suck away their demonic power." ”
They got it thoroughly. It must be that Immortal Moon Jun is nearby, on the pretext of telling Xiaobai where her relative's soul is, in order to help her set fire to revenge.
"Is it still too late?"
Seeing that Mu Wan was about to summon the tengu, Shanhai waved his hand and said regretfully:
"This fire is very special, and it burns objects like ordinary fire. It's just that once it hits a person's body, it can burn people into charcoal in an instant. When I rushed over, I only saved my only child. I tried to force him away, but he couldn't stop crying and struggled out of my arms to run back. At that time, sparks splashed on him......"
He couldn't say any more.
Some lamented, some clenched their fists, and some gritted their teeth creakingly.
Okay, good...... Immortal Moon Monarch, huh?
