Chapter 202: Casting a Spell
Night.
The woman looked at the scarecrow on the ground and smiled weirdly.
The owl stood on a branch and looked at the woman quietly for a long time.
At this time, Chen Beibei and the others were still hiding in the distance and did not come closer.
After all, there are Nakshatra guarding there.
Chen Beibei If they wanted to get close to the woman in white, then they would definitely be discovered by the Yaksha.
I don't know how long it has been.
The woman finally moved.
Get down.
Picking up the scarecrow on the ground, the smile on his face had completely disappeared.
There is no expression on the woman's face, giving people the feeling of being soulless, but the woman obviously has a soul and a mind.
Yaksha kept his eyes on the front and didn't look back.
It's as if something terrible will happen as soon as you turn around.
The woman placed the scarecrow in front of the tree.
Although it was only left and there was no support, the scarecrow floated in front of the tree.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, Smoke would never have believed it.
Although Smoke has also dealt with many ghosts, it is still relatively rare for this special ability.
"That scarecrow, it can't be because of that woman's telekinesis, is it?"
Smoke thought to himself.
The scarecrow is a physical object, not an illusion, nor a ghostly thing.
Can make a physical object float.
Probably only with strong telepathy can do it.
The scarecrow floats silently in the air.
The woman in white still didn't have any expression on her face, and the woman who had been smiling weirdly before, seemed to be like two people.
The woman raised her right hand, which was a long nail.
The woman aimed the nail at the scarecrow's stomach.
"She's the daughter of the ugly time."
At this time, it was already certain that the woman in front of him was the one who cursed the snow girl.
However, Smoke doesn't know anything about the Ugly Girl.
After all, Smoke came to this world after the era of the drunken boy had passed.
At that time, the drunken boy was killed by Minamoto Yorimitsu.
His men died, and they fled.
The Daughter of the Ugly Time, as his old department, was just an ordinary imp at that time.
In other words, the Daughter of the Ugly Time already had the ability to curse people at that time.
But in that era when there were powerful ghosts and onmyoji everywhere, the ability of the Ugly Girl was not outstanding, so she could only be used as a little ghost who was not reused.
A thousand years later.
The days of Onmyoji and Great Youkai have passed.
In such an era, the daughter of the ugly time is very powerful.
It's not that the Daughter of Ugly Times' abilities have increased or changed.
It's just that times are different.
The Ugly Girl hammered the nail into the scarecrow's body.
until it disappears completely.
The scarecrow, perhaps because of the increased weight of the nails, fell from the air and landed on the ground.
The tree in front of him shook gently.
The branches and leaves rattled like a beast with teeth and claws.
The scarecrow on the ground lay silently.
"Lord Yaksha, it's all right."
The voice of the Ugly Girl rang out.
"So...... Can you watch it now? ”
"Hmm."
Yaksha turned around and looked at the scarecrow on the ground, and there seemed to be bright red blood seeping out of the scarecrow's body.
It's just a little bit, and it's not obvious to look at.
"It's a terrible ability."
Yaksha muttered.
"Lord Nashatra, please don't say that......"
"Ugly girl, you are really modest, let's go back now."
"Please wait a minute."
The Ugly Girl squatted down and took the scarecrow on the ground in her hand.
Then a hole was dug under the tree.
Bury the scarecrow in it.
In the dark sky, a ray of moonlight shone on the hand of the daughter of the ugly time.
On the pale hands, there was obviously a hint of red.
Probably blood.
……
Yaksha and the woman in white went back after doing all this.
Chen Beibei: They didn't see anything.
"Master, it's been ...... ugly"
Guan Hu reminded softly.
Obviously, today it has failed.
This is already the fourth day of the curse in the Snow Maiden, and now there are only three days left for Chen Beibei to do so.
"Let's go back and come back tomorrow."
Chen Beibei said.
There are only three days left, but now the ugly time has passed.
There is no point in staying in the mountains anymore.
……
Smoke flew slowly in the night sky.
Tonight I have seen the legendary Daughter of the Ugly Hour, as well as the Yaksha.
"It seems that the drunken boy is also on that mountain."
Smoke thought as he flew.
In the past, in order to find the wine swallowing boy, Smoke left Qinghe Town for a period of time.
Now I came back because I learned that the wine swallowing boy was in Qinghe Town.
But alas.
It's been so long, and I still haven't seen a drunken boy.
"Forget it, let's help the Snow Maiden lift the curse first. She can't die, or the kid will be very sad when he finds out. ”
Thinking so, Smoke couldn't help but speed up the frequency of flapping his wings.
Soon, Smoke returned to Chen Beibei's home.
When the smoke came back, Chen Beibei and the others had just come down the mountain, after all, the smoke was flying, and Chen Beibei was walking.
"Onmyoji, they should be back for a while, I'd better go see the Snow Maiden first."
Smoke flew out of the Snow Maiden's window.
The Snow Maiden lay on her bed, and the whole room was white, like a pure land that was not stained with dust.
The whitest is still the face of the Snow Maiden, without any blood, just looking at it, it makes people feel distressed.
Snow Maiden's hand, resting on her stomach, curled up, her brow furrowed, and a pained expression on her face.
"Snow Maiden's loneliness hurts......"
Smoke looked at the Snow Maiden worriedly through the window, but couldn't do anything.
After all, the current smoke is just an owl.
When she was on the mountain, the Ugly Girl drove a nail into the scarecrow's stomach.
That's why Snow Girl has a stomachache?
Smoke doesn't know much about the daughter of the ugly time, and can only make such a guess.
When Chen Beibei and the others came back, Xun was already standing on the old locust tree.
The bride was already asleep.
The owl didn't make a sound, so it didn't wake the bride.
I promised before that the bride would come back once a day.
"I'm back today, even though you're asleep, but you've kept your promise."
The owl shook its body slightly, making some messy stray hairs smooth.
"Master, the woman in white today may be the daughter of the ugly time."
Gu Huoniao said.
When the Daughter of the Ugly Time cast a spell, Chen Beibei and the others were so far away that they didn't see anything.
Gu Hou bird flies in the sky, although you can see the Daughter of the Ugly Time and the Yaksha and Chen Beibei.
But what did the Daughter of Ugly Time do?
Gu Shou Bird still doesn't know.
After all, the night was so dark, and the birds flew very high, and the branches and leaves of the trees blocked it.
"Perhaps. But with Yaksha there, it seems that it is not easy to get close to the daughter of the ugly time. ”
Chen Beibei replied.
Whether there are any other ghosts around the Nakshatra is uncertain.
Chen Beibei: They fought with Yaksha once.
has already caused the Snow Girl to become like this, so Chen Beibei still doesn't want to fight with Yasha until last resort.
"Now there are only three days left, and what is it like to break the curse of the Ugly Girl. Back then, Abe Harumi used a scarecrow to deceive the daughter of Ugly Time, and then cracked her curse. And according to legend, to break the curse of the Ugly Girl, you only need to see her cast a spell. It's not clear which method is true and reliable......"
"Master, please don't worry, we will definitely think of a way."
Guan Hu hurriedly said.
At this time, everyone is very anxious.
After all, I've lived with Snow Girl for so long, and I have some feelings.
And they all belong to the same kind of creature - demons!
As a member of the same kind, that feeling of closeness is hard to give up.
At this time, it was almost four o'clock in the morning.
Xun stood on the branch, still not asleep, and Chen Beibei and the others also returned to their own rooms.
In everyone's room, there are some subtle sounds.
The sound of turning over.
The sound of sighing.
The sound of slow walking.
These sounds are not loud, but they are very clear in the night when everyone is not asleep and it is very quiet.
Everyone knew they weren't sleeping, but they weren't together.
After all, rest is still needed.
Tomorrow night, we will continue to the mountains to find the Daughter of Ugly Time and find a way to break her curse.
Chen Beibei is brushing the soul ten.
But I always drove the little paper man, and when my hand slipped from my hand and fell on the bed, I didn't react.
"There is not a single sound in the Snow Maiden's room, are you asleep?"
Chen Beibei thought with some relief.
Guan Hu kept rolling in the narrow bamboo pipe, and this night, he still couldn't sleep.
"Whether it's the Snow Maiden's pain or the owner's worries, all of these things make it hard to sleep."
……
Snow Maiden's room.
The Snow Maiden clutched her solitude, clutching her lips and trying her best not to let herself moan.
Fine sweat covered the Snow Maiden's forehead, which soon turned into ice particles and fell on the bed.
The ice particles that melted on the bed had already made the sheets wet in large sheets.
"If it's painful, just endure it alone."
Snow Maiden thought.
The chill in the room deepened.
The Snow Maiden was curled up all the time, and her body began to tremble slightly.
This pain is more acute and unbearable than physical injury.
Fortunately, I was able to hold on.
Until the sun rises, the Snow Maiden still maintains her previous position.
Sleepless nights.
Everybody's the same.
When the sun just sprinkled into the courtyard in the early morning, Chen Beibei and they all got up.
During the day, there is no way to go to the mountains to find the daughter of the ugly time.
So even if it gets up, it doesn't have any effect.
Waiting in the morning.
The three-tailed fox had already brought breakfast to the Snow Maiden, who endured the pain in her body and reluctantly ate it.
"That way, people won't be so worried."
Snow Maiden thought so.
In the past few days that the Snow Maiden has been cursed, it has been the three-tailed fox who has been taking care of her.
Between two people, they rarely speak to each other. But I know it all in my heart.
"Snow girl, if it's painful, don't force it and pretend it's okay. That would only make it more painful. ”
The three-tailed fox finished the bowl with the Snow Maiden in his hand, and said to the Snow Maiden.
The porcelain bowl was originally filled with hot porridge.
It only took a few minutes for the Snow Maiden to finish eating, and at this moment the porcelain bowl had become cold and biting.
The Snow Maiden was already in pain and couldn't accurately control the temperature around her body......
"Well, I'm fine......"
The Snow Maiden smiled, with a hint of reluctance on her pale face, and her voice was a little small.
The three-tailed fox sighed softly, took the bowl, and turned to leave.
……
Night.
It's still the same time as the day before.
Chen Beibei and the others came to the back mountain of Qinghe Town, just after one o'clock in the morning.
In the hole that led to the ground, a woman in white crawled out.
She is the daughter of the ugly time.
Then, a tall figure leaped from a tree and landed in front of the Ugly Girl.
"Is it time?"
"Yes, Yaksha-sama!"
The Daughter of Ugly Times replied.
The two of them didn't say another word, and walked together in the direction of the big tree they had been going to the day before.
Chen Beibei and the others followed carefully behind them, and the smoke also landed on the branch of the tree before.
"Lord Nashatra, please turn around and make sure that no one disturbs me."
The Daughter of Ugly Times said.
"Don't worry."
Yaksha replied.
The Ugly Girl stood facing the tree for a moment, and a hammer and a nail appeared out of thin air in her hands.
The Ugly Girl was on the ground, gently swaying the dirt on the ground, and soon a scarecrow appeared on the ground, and a strange smile appeared on the face of the Ugly Girl.
Everything was the same as the day before.
Chen Beibei: They still can't see what the daughter of the ugly time did.
"Let's get closer."
Chen Beibei said in a low voice, intending to walk forward.
"Master, don't go any further, now this distance is the limit. If we go forward, the Yaksha will surely find us. ”
Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and said softly.
If the curse of the Daughter of Ugly Time hadn't been broken tonight, then Chen Beibei and the others would only have two days left.
If you can't find a way to break the curse of the Ugly Girl within two days, the Snow Maiden will die.
"Now that it's been determined, that woman is the daughter of the ugly time, then try that method anyway."
Chen Beibei said.
The method that Chen Beibei said is the method that the curse of the Ugly Girl will be invalid as long as you see the process of the Ugly Girl casting the spell.
The other is the method of using a scarecrow to deceive the daughter of the ugly time.
This method is more difficult.
Therefore, Chen Beibei only wants to try the first method now, after all, the daughter of the ugly time is not far from him, as long as he gets closer, he can see the process of her spell.
Tomorrow and Sunday, everyone will have fun with the duck, but Mo Xue can't play because she has to go to work tomorrow...... Cry~
