The copper needle was now covered with a red shimmer, and it was no longer as dim as before, but looked like a divine object.

At Mu Xiaowu's urging, it flew towards the evil cult that wanted to escape, plunged straight down from the top of its head, passed through its body, and led to the soles of its feet, nailing it firmly to a boulder.

"Everything is cause and effect, when is the time for retribution, it doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, but if you want to swallow the soul of the master, it will never be." Mu Xiaowu walked over slowly, squinted at the evil red eyes, and said in a quacky voice, "Tao Huan, let me give you a ride, the form and soul are gone, and the desire and hatred will disappear, for you, it is not a good thing." ”

With that, she raised her hand slightly, and the copper needle broke through the stone, dragging the evil spirit towards her.

The belly pocket embroidered with carp swept past Zhao Zimai's side, bringing a soothing wind. Zhao Zimai was suspicious, because this breeze not only did not smell bad, but also exuded a faint fragrance of fat powder. He let out a soft "ah", his eyes opened wide, and his body seemed to be frozen, motionless.

He heard a small conversation, it was left behind by the belly pocket that had drifted away, and he thought, maybe this was the last warm memory Tao Huan had left.

"Sister, I'm sixteen, you still have to sew a belly pocket for me every year, do I live to be seventy or eighty, and Sister Ah also has to be seventy or eighty?"

"Sister is not as smart as Xiaohuan, Sister is very stupid, only needlework can get by, so I can only make a belly pocket for Xiaohuan."

"Sister, I'll teach you a poem."

"I can't remember."

"It's simple...... Sister A's hand is on the line, the younger brother's shirt is tightly sewn before leaving, and she is afraid that she will return late. ”

"Going? Xiaohuan, where are you going? ”

"I ...... To go to a far, far away place...... Sister, look at what scares you, I won't go anywhere, I will accompany Sister for the rest of my life. ”

"Boom."

The flames exploded, rising three or four stories high, and illuminating the whole valley, enveloping the evil in it, and without a trace of pity or sympathy, it burned and melted away.

Zhao Zimai sat down on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained, and through the remaining glimmer of light, he looked at Mu Xiaowu, but saw that she was also looking at him expressionlessly, without even blinking her eyes.

She is now like a stone statue, a statue of a god enshrined in a temple, solemn, indifferent, looking down on the vast number of beings.

It's just that her face is glowing with an abnormal faint blue light.

"You ......"

As soon as he said a word, Mu Xiaowu had already fallen straight backwards, knocking down a large piece of artemisia grass behind him.

***

Mu Xiaowu slept for two days before waking up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, Mu Cripple stepped forward with an oil lamp and looked at her eyes carefully for a long time.

"Don't be stupid, it's me." Mu Xiaowu impatiently waved the lamp away, took another breath of fresh air, sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and then said to Mu Cripple, "Where are we?" ”

"You, Yan Gongzi and that little Jiayan are all in a coma, let's live in this Zhaitang Village first, anyway, there are so many houses here."

"Are Yan Gongzi and Jia Yan okay?"

"Yan Gongzi is awake, but his body is still a little weak, Jiayan, he may need to raise it for a few days. By the way, we also found the young grandmother, who is in a nearby cave, although this matter is not a happy one, it can be regarded as a beginning and an end. Mu lame replied, then probed his head to look at Mu Xiaowu, and said cautiously, "What about you?" ”

Mu Xiaowu yawned, "It's still the same, when it occupies my body, I'm like being locked in a mirror, I can see and hear, but I can't get out." However, this time it took a bit longer, and I had never done this before, so I was a little tired. ”

"Its strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the fire burned so high that day, such a big evil thing, it is like pinching a fly to death." Mu lame sighed, "Alas, in the future, the two of us will not let it be rounded and flattened, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape its control in this life." But what I'm most worried about is that it doesn't leave like this, in case one day the dove occupies the magpie's nest......" Seeing that Mu Xiaowu was still indifferent, Mu Cripple couldn't help but feel anxious, and his tone was a little anxious.

"If it doesn't want to go, I can't do anything about it, I can't dissect my body and forcibly take it out." Mu Xiaowu has always had a big heart, but after finishing speaking, seeing that Mu Cripple's face was not much better than the soil on the ground, he didn't want to stimulate him anymore, so he comforted him casually, "Don't worry, think about it, although it is cruel, but if it doesn't rely on it this time, it is estimated that several of us will not be able to come out, so it is still the same sentence......"

"Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking, right? Forget it, if you're not in a hurry, it's useless for anyone to be in a hurry. Mu lame waved his hand, made a look of hating iron but not steel, shook his head and walked to the side of the bed, pushed open the two rickety broken windows, and took a deep breath.

As soon as the window opened, the green of the mountain rushed to reflect in, thick and light, deep and shallow, bringing a fresh breath. Mu Xiaowu looked at this piece of emerald green, and his heart felt a lot more comfortable, "Don't say it, the scenery here is very good, and it is a good place to recuperate." ”

Mu lame snorted, "What's good, this place is very evil, under that mountain cliff, there are dozens of dried corpses, all of them have been dead for six or seven years, and I don't know who killed them." The strangest thing is the string of prayer beads, do you remember, after you were caught in the rosary, you couldn't use the mana in your body, if it weren't for Zhao Gongzi's quick reaction, he was almost killed by the evil one. ”

Mu Xiaowu blinked her eyes a few times, her gaze slowly moved away from the window, she brushed the messy hair on her forehead behind her ears, and a rare solemnity crawled on her face, "Beads...... Did you pick it up? ”

Mu Cripple took out the pouch from the placket and stuffed it into Mu Xiaowu's hand, "Oh, I kept an eye on them and picked them up, they shouldn't have fallen, you see, what's so strange about these beads?" ”

Mu Xiaowu opened his pocket, took out a vajra bodhi seed and pinched it between his fingers, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then spoke, "Although the color and texture are superior, no matter how good they are, they are just a string of ordinary prayer beads." However, I remember that night......"

Speaking of this, her eyes froze, as if she was caught in a memory, and only urged Mu Cripple anxiously, "What happened that night, you can explain it." ”

"That night, in the moonlight, it was scorching, so bright that it could almost pierce people's eyes, and it was so bright that it almost sucked people's souls, but what happened later, my mind seemed to be blank, and I can't remember it very clearly."

Mu Cripple opened his mouth and thought for a long time before he finally came back to his senses, "You mean, the rosary almost sucked the soul of that thing?" Could it be that this string of prayer beads can restrain it? At this point, he thought about it for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "But who is the owner of this rosary?" Why is it in Jiayan's hands? ”

"I'm afraid that only Jiayan himself can answer this question." Mu Xiaowu put on his clothes, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
