Chapter Twenty-Six: The Hidden Lamp
Whether I want to admit it or not, my strength is indeed weaker than that of the Yin Puppet.
If you want to win tonight, you have to be surprised.
I'm pretending to be Xia Tian, and the puppet will definitely take it lightly.
After all, Xia Tian is just an ordinary person, so there is no need to be too careful.
And when this happens, I suddenly attack, and maybe I can hit the puppet hard.
Of course, my purpose tonight isn't just to wreak havoc on the puppet.
In addition to saving Xia Tian, I also have to look for clues about my grandfather.
So...... My real purpose is.
Catch it alive!
Of course, this idea is too bold and too risky, I didn't tell Xia Tian.
It depends on the situation, and if I can do it, I will do it at all costs. If you can't do it, wait for a later opportunity.
Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood.
In fact, Xia Tian also knew that what I said made sense, if she was allowed to face the puppet directly, it would be certain death, and it would be completely in vain.
If I were to pretend to be her, there would be a glimmer of hope.
So she didn't have any hypocrisy, so she nodded and agreed.
I took out the needle and pierced it on different acupuncture points according to the eight characters of the two of us.
At this time, Xia Tian next to him was suddenly surprised and delighted: "I can see, I can see things." ”
I rubbed my temples vigorously beside me: "Of course you can see, the two of us have swapped the eight figures, and some kind of connection has been established in the dark. I'm helping you take the strain off your liver. ”
My eyes are so swollen that I feel like I'm going blind at any moment.
Fortunately, I am a cultivator, and I can't stop breathing, guiding that breath to disperse to other places, and my eyes slowly recover.
In addition to my eyes, I could feel changes in my liver.
In other words, what I sensed was Xia Tian's liver.
I can't put it into words, but I always feel that the fusion of power is almost complete. Once this is done, it will not be easy for the yin golem to take it away.
At that time, Xia Tian may really be safe.
In other words, we survive tonight, until the liver fusion is complete, and maybe everything will be fine.
I told Xia Tian about this guess, and Xia Tian was also very excited.
It was already afternoon, neither of us had lunched, and we were so hungry.
Xia Tian cooked for the two of us and cooked some food.
I have to say that the saying is very true, the more beautiful the woman, the worse the cooking skills.
If I hadn't been so hungry, I wouldn't have been able to eat a bite of this meal.
Xia Tian was also a little embarrassed, and secretly looked at me while eating.
I had no choice but to say, "It's okay." ”
Then I forced myself to eat my portion.
After eating, it was almost evening.
The red sun is in the west, and it will be dark in a while.
I said to Xia Tian, "It's time." Next, you take my natal lamp and hide it. ”
Xia Tian was taken aback: "Why is this?" Didn't you say that people would die without their natal light? ”
I smiled: "The natal light was stolen by a ghost, and that would indeed die." But hiding yourself, not necessarily. Just find it within twelve hours. ”
"Didn't you just say that? I'm pretending to be you, it's dangerous. So I hid the natal lamp in advance. This is equivalent to leaving me a ray of life. ”
"I don't have my natal light, and the puppet wants to harm me, so many means can't be used. It's like if you're going to kill someone, but that person is dead in the first place, how do you kill them? ”
Xia Tian suddenly realized: "So that's the case." ”
I smiled: "So, you think about it first, where to hide my natal lamp, and when you think about it, I will take out the natal lamp and give it to you." ”
"Remember, don't tell me the whereabouts of my natal light. Because the puppet has the potential to bewitch me and make me speak. ”
Xia Tian snorted.
She frowned and thought for a while, then asked me, "Is it okay to hide outside?" ”
I shook my head: "It can't be too far away, it's good to be in this yard." The puppets will definitely look for it, so you have to hide somewhere they can't think of it. ”
Xia Tian was silent for a long time, and then said to me, "I think about it." ”
I hummed, sat down cross-legged, and pricked a needle on the top of my head and on each shoulder.
Then I closed my eyes and said to Xia Tian, "You go find three candles." Don't ignite, you approach these needles and let them spontaneously combust. ”
Xia Tian agreed and found a candle.
Soon, a ball of fire appeared.
And I felt like my body was suddenly empty, as if something had been stripped from my body.
Xia Tian said: "It turns out that the appearance of the natal lamp is the same as that of an ordinary flame. It would be nice that the puppet wouldn't be able to see it. ”
I smiled, "yes." ”
Then, I closed my eyes and said to Xia Tian, "You go." The flame of the natal lamp can be passed on, and if it burns in one place, it will definitely go out in another. So you can hide wherever you want, and it doesn't have to be on a candle. ”
Xia Tian agreed and left.
I closed my eyes and didn't know where she went.
But I always can't help but guess in my heart. This kind of speculation is dangerous, and if I guess correctly, I may reveal my secret when the puppet turns around and bewitches me.
I hope Xia Tian will be ingenious and hide the natal light in a place I can't think of.
Xia Tian is back.
I didn't ask her about the natal light, and she was smart enough not to say it.
I didn't remove the needles from my shoulders and the top of my head.
These three needles can be temporarily disguised as the light of life, so as not to be suspicious of the puppet.
The sun is starting to set.
I handed her a dagger carved from peach wood: "If my estimate is correct, the puppet will not take the initiative to attack you, but will separate a person to watch you and prevent you from acting rashly." ”
"So, you just stay in the trap and don't move if you can. If the puppet wants to harm you, stab it with a peachwood sword. It was coated with cinnabar. It should be able to resist for a while. ”
"I could have let you go. But you'd better pretend to be me and stay here. Otherwise, the yin puppet will be suspicious when he finds that the practitioner in the morning is gone. Our plan just won't work. ”
Xia Tian agreed.
Then the two of us sat down separately in the trap.
The trap is made of candles. The candles are engraved with runes.
Now the candles are lit, and the candle flames, faltering, look as if they are alive, giving people a different feeling.
Suddenly, the lights of the nearby villas went out one after another. They are all hidden in the dark.
Xia Tian whispered, "What's going on?" Why did you turn off the lights so early? ”
I said, "It's not that they turn off the lights, it's that we can't see them." It's cut off. The puppet has arrived. ”
Before he could finish speaking, a gust of wind blew in through the gate. The candle flame shook violently in the wind. But the flame was never extinguished.
It's a trap, and it's not so easy to blow out.
I took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in my heart, and waited quietly.
Soon, I felt something approaching me.
I can't see it, but I can sense it.
Then, a dark wind blew towards a candle in the outermost part of the world.
The wind was very thin, as if someone was blowing cold air on the candle flame.
The candlelight was blown by the gloomy wind, and suddenly shook endlessly, and finally with a pop, it was extinguished.
The trapped array turned into a remnant.
But it doesn't matter, the remnants also have an effect. I still have a chance to make amends.
I struck a match, passed it as leisurely as I could, and lit the candle.
Then the wind came again, this time to the other candle.
I know that the master of the yin wind is the yin puppet. It's breaking through the trap.
As soon as the trap is broken, it will come and get me.
