Chapter 557: Painting Demon Who Plays with People's Hearts
Originally, she just gave it a try, but she didn't expect it to work, and the water released by the wicker was even thicker than yesterday!
Boom, a bucket of water was filled in a few minutes.
Xue Wu patted the trunk of the tree, "Thank you." β
The wicker that had just been released from the water moved in front of her like a living thing, and clicked on the center of her eyebrows, and Xue Wu immediately felt a cool "qi" burrowing into her eyebrows.
Her face changed, she covered her forehead and took a few steps back, staring warily at the willow tree in front of her.
At this time, a voice came from his head: "Sister-in-law......"
This is...... Zheng Yuzhu's voice!
"Yuzhu, is that you?" Xue Wu also asked in her mind.
Zheng Yuzhu said very quickly: "Sister-in-law, it's me, we are all in that painting now, Mingwan is a painting demon, kill her before you can leave here." But you only have one chance, and you have to hit it with one hit, otherwise if you are dodged by her, you will die. β
"You say slow down, what the hell is going on."
Zheng Yuzhu took a deep breath and started from the beginning: "Didn't you ask me to find out the source of the human skin lantern before?" I followed the Fu Seal Butterfly all the way to this temple, and found that the monks in the temple were making the human skin lanterns, but they were not real people, but human skin puppets made of Ming Wan.
"Mingwan controls them, let them collect human skins and use them to make puppets, the people here and zombies, in fact, are all puppets made by her, all under her control."
A chill came up from Xue Wu's back.
"I tried to kill her and get out of here, but failed, and she chased her all over the world, and finally hid in this willow tree to escape, but since then I have not dared to show up easily, for fear of being discovered by her.
"Sister-in-law, you must not show anything unusual, lest she detect it, and then it will be dangerous."
Xue Wu's face remained silent, "Well, don't worry, I won't show my stuff until I find a way to deal with her." β
This is the world in the painting, or it can be said to be Mingwan's world, everything here is controlled by her, just like she can control the space of the Five Elements Beads.
Maybe her every move was watched by her.
She'll have to be careful in the future.
"Do you know what Mingwan got us here for?"
Zheng Yuzhu: "In order to play with people's hearts, Mingwan especially likes to test other people's feelings, once a husband and wife or lover enter the temple, she will transform into a human and deliberately seduce one of them, if a man changes his mind, she will kill and skin him, use his skin to make a zombie puppet, and lock him in the painting so that he will never come out." If a woman changes her mind, she will turn it into grass and trees, and the alien plants here are all changed by women. β
Xue Wan frowned when she heard this, this painting demon was too bad.
"And what if others weren't seduced by her? It's impossible for all people to change their minds easily, right? β
Of course, there are also people who are always loyal to their lovers and are not at all deceived by her, but in this case, she will lead people to the painting, swallow them up, and then set up all kinds of dilemmas for them, and try to break them apart. Sister-in-law, this must be how you and Huo Gongzi got in, right? β
ββ¦β¦ We are not led to the painting by her, but to the past. Xue Wu told how she and Pei Lin came to the Relic Temple.
Only then did Zheng Yuzhu know that in the two years she was locked up in the painting, so much had changed outside.
Xue Wu walked back with a wooden bucket full of water, communicating with Zheng Yuzhu in her mind, discussing how to kill Ming Wan.
She had to be taken by surprise and put her to death in an instant, otherwise she would immediately hide far away if she noticed it, and it would be basically impossible for them to kill her again.
"Yuzhu, how about you say that Pei Lin and I will make plans?"
"How do you count it?"
"Mingwan, doesn't she like to play with other people's feelings and want to break us up? She threw us into this hellish place, didn't she just think that when we reached this adversity where we wanted nothing, our relationship would definitely not be able to last?
"Then I will be as she wishes, and Pei Lian's relationship is 'broken', then she will definitely take advantage of the situation, I will make a look of wanting to get rid of her, do it to her, Pei Lin happened to appear at this time, and also defended her, and reprimanded me in turn, do you say that she will feel very proud at that time? Once she is proud, it is easy to forget her form, and then Pei Lin suddenly makes a move on herββ"
Zheng Yuzhu: "This method is good, that is, two people must trust each other enough, otherwise it is likely to make the fake come true, and she will really succeed in provoking it." β
Xue Wu: "Don't worry about this, there is no one else in this world who I can trust wholeheartedly except Pei Lian." β
They have made a pact of life and death, and they will live and die together.
In the evening, Pei Lian, Mingwan and others came back, and they brought back two carts of things.
The cart was a homemade cart with sauerkraut, soybean paste, rice, wheat, etc., which were found in the cellar.
Neither the rice nor the wheat have shed their husks, but it is precisely because of this that they can be stored for so long without spoiling.
Sauerkraut and soybean paste are also foods that can be stored for a long time.
If they save a little food, this will be enough for them to eat for a long time.
The people in the procession divided the food and took it back to their lodgings with joy.
Xue Wu carefully observed everyone, and saw that their words and deeds were all abnormal, and they couldn't be more true, if it wasn't for Yuzhu to tell her, how could she have imagined that these people were actually puppets made of Ming Wan?
Now that the plan has been made, it is time to execute it.
Xue Wu frowned and looked at the sauerkraut dissatisfied: "That's all?" Doesn't have leafy vegetables? I want to eat some fresh fruits and vegetables. β
Pei Lin took out a small bag made of leaves from his arms, opened it layer by layer, and contained a handful of red berries like agate beads, and fed one to her mouth.
"Is it sweet?"
Xue Wan pretended to be reluctantly satisfied, "Well, it's not bad." β
took one and fed it to Pei Lian: "You eat it too." β
Pei Lin ate one and stopped eating, "You eat, don't worry about me." β
Xue Wu hugged his neck and kissed him on the face, "Husband, you are so good to me, I still want to eat candied fruit." β
Pei Lian: "Okay, I'll go out tomorrow to find it." β
Xue Wu ate the berries one by one, and suddenly sighed, Pei Lin was sorting out the food she had brought back, and when she heard it, she immediately turned her head to look at her: "Why did you sigh?" β
"I don't know when we'll be able to leave this place, and we won't even have a compote. You say, the painting that sucked us in in the first place will become a refinement? What was she trying to do when she sucked us in? β
Pei Lin shook his head, "Sister-in-law, I grind these wheat into flour, how about we eat noodles at night?" β
"Okay, cut a handful of sauerkraut into it, and then scoop a spoonful of spicy soybean sauce into the bowl and mix it, ah, I can't do it, just thinking about it makes my mouth water."
Pei Lin couldn't help but laugh.
"Then again, do you know how to grind wheat? Is there a stone mill here? β
Two questions in a row stumped Pei Lian.
