Chapter 13: The Aftermath
When Xing Yi fell into deep self-blame and couldn't extricate himself, in a room in the west wing of the courtyard, a person hid in the dark and looked at him.
After seeing that the person sitting on the ground in the courtyard was indeed Xing Yi, the person in the dark walked out of the door excitedly, rushed to Xing Yi's side, and then hugged Xing Yi.
It turned out that the person in the secret was Zhao You, Zhao You hugged Xing Yi and let go of his throat and cried, as if he wanted to release all the fright he was suffering through tears, and this cry pulled Xing Yi back to reality from the abyss of self-blame.
Nearby, the madwoman was babbling and dancing with her dead child in her arms.
After venting the sadness in his heart, Zhao You suddenly remembered something important, "What about my grandfather?"
Xing Yi said sadly, "Grandpa Kang, dead",
"Dead, how dead".
"Excessive sadness" Xing Yi can only answer like this,
At this time, Zhao You changed back to his previous arrogant appearance, "I don't believe it, do you think he is cumbersome, and leave him alone",
Hearing this, Xing Yi was furious, "Don't think of everyone as you are",
"What's wrong with me, you say, if you don't make it clear today, be careful of me...",
Saying that, Zhao You raised his hand and was about to fan Xing Yi in the face, but at the same time, the crazy woman next to him pointed at Zhao You and laughed madly, her expression was like seeing a live clown.
This piercing laughter calmed Zhao You, and he suddenly took into account the situation in front of him, and then restrained his aggressive demeanor
"Xiaoyi, I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude just now, mainly because the news of my grandfather's death hit me too hard", said and covered his face and pretended to cry.
Xing Yi didn't dwell too much on this matter, so that it was not that he was generous, but that this was not the time to care.
bypassed Zhao You and went straight to the front of the array, just when Xing Yi was about to start the array, he suddenly found that the array was missing, and Xing Yi's heart chuckled.
If they can't escape from here, then their hope of survival is almost zero, with Xiao's natural sensitivity to "people". No matter how far they run, Xiao can find it.
Xing Yi's face was like ashes, and he muttered to himself, "Could it be that you are destined to die here today."
Looking at Xing Yi with a depressed face, Zhao You stepped forward and said, "I heard the old man in the clan say that the missing part of the array is in the ancestral hall, but it ......." Speaking of this, Zhao You looked at the hall of the ancestral hall with timidity.
Hearing the news, Xing Yi didn't care so much, and hurriedly ran to the place where the tablets of the ancestors of the Zhao clan were enshrined, and inserted his foot into the blood that had begun to coagulate.
He rummaged left and right, behind the plaque, inside the incense burner, all the places where things could be hidden, and finally, he even moved the corpses stacked on the ground little by little, groping in the blood.
Just when Xing Yi was like a demon playing with his life, he didn't stop just now, and for a while he moved the corpse that was moved to the side and brought it back, and for a while he rolled in the sticky blood, and for a while the madwoman who grabbed the intestines and stomach of the dead and threw it suddenly quieted down
Strange to Xing Yi, he looked up and saw that "the madwoman was staring behind her with wide eyes and a look of horror."
At this moment, the madwoman was no longer insane. Xing Yi's half-bent waist suddenly froze, and he faintly felt that something was staring at him from behind.
Seeing Xing Yi stop suddenly, Zhao You, who was forced to endure the disgusting in his heart, asked a little angrily, "What's wrong, move quickly",
Seeing that Xing Yi still didn't move, Zhao You was about to get angry, when he raised his head, he suddenly saw the abnormal Xing Yi and the frightened madwoman, and he suddenly realized something. also froze there and did not dare to move,
Time seemed to stand still, the stench, the smell of blood wafting through the room, and the horror and fear spread in the hearts of the few who remained. They held their breath in fear, and the sound of their heartbeat was the only sound in the room.
Suddenly, Xing Yi saw a slight tremor in the darkness behind the madwoman, as if something was there, his eyes widened in horror, and slowly, a thin gray-brown hand stretched out from the darkness, and the demonic hand from hell slowly stretched out towards the madwoman's neck.
Xing Yi's eyes widened and his mouth widened, but he couldn't make a sound. I could only watch as the hand approached the madwoman's neck little by little,
The withered hand wrapped around the madwoman's neck, and then pulled quickly, and the palm of the hand cut a deep cut at the madwoman's throat like a quick knife, and the blood rushed out with a pop, rushing on Xing Yi's body and face, and some of it still fell in his mouth. There was a disgusting smell of blood on the tongue.
As the blood soared, the power that imprisoned their bodies also dissipated, and when they were about to escape, Xing Yi suddenly found that the doors and windows of the house were closed. Even if they beat hard, it won't help.
In the place where the madwoman fell, the darkness fluctuated slightly, and a pair of dark green eyes flashed, like two magic lamps that were forever on, emitting a chilling light.
Slowly, the line between darkness and light receded, and Xiao's body revealed, a shriveled body, protruding bones like a dried corpse.
Those long sharp fangs make people's necks always uncomfortable. Through the hole in his nose, you could see the black wriggling flesh inside. It's disgusting.
Xiao Na had no pupils, only the whites of his eyes, and his eyes the size of copper bells stared at Xing Yi motionlessly. The ruthlessness in his eyes slowly turned to interest,
It may be because of the recognition of Xingyi. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. A meaningful, but extremely ugly smile is revealed.
Xiao stretched out her scarlet tongue and licked her chapped lips. While walking towards Xingyi, his pace was so slow, but every step was like falling on Xingyi's heart, and Xingyi's heart ached.
As he walked, Xiao's body suddenly froze, and his eyes staring at Xing Yi suddenly contracted. There was a look of horror on his face.
The playful and sadistic color on the corner of Xiao's mouth slowly converged, and then looked at Xing Yi with a solemn face.
Xing Yi was taken aback by Xiao's unprovoked move, and he looked back, except for Zhao You, who was trying to push himself forward, there was nothing else.
After half a ring, Xiao suddenly let out a sinister laugh. Almost at the same moment when the cruel smile sounded, Zhao You suddenly pushed Xingyi,
Xing Yi, whose legs were a little weak, rushed to Xiao, less than a foot away from Xiao, looking at Xiao who was as close as a demon, Xing Yi's mind was blank.
It's strange to say, Xiao didn't move after letting out a cruel laugh, and after looking at each other for a while, Xiao suddenly smiled weirdly at Xingyi, and then his body slowly floated towards the darkness, and when he was about to disappear, his hand was raised slightly, and something flew towards Xingyi,
Xing Yi instinctively stretched out his hand to block it. When he looked at the place again, it was empty,
After Xiao disappeared, even the dark places became brighter.
His head was back in motion, and Xing Yi once wondered if it was a dream, or if he was hallucinating, and he picked up a life under Xiao's hands, which was incredible to think about.
He didn't believe that Xiao suddenly became kind, so he let himself go, because Xiao didn't even have a heart.
In the end, Xing Yi could only attribute all this to the ancestors of the Zhao clan in the dark.
Looking down at what was still coming when Xiao disappeared, a round stone plate, Xing Yi was overjoyed. Isn't the missing part of the formation just round?
Turning around and walking in the direction of the formation platform, when passing by Zhao You, who was standing at the door, Xing Yi said coldly, "I don't want a next time."
After completing the teleportation array, Xing Yi took out a flute as green as jade from his body, this flute was about ten inches, as if it was natural, which was given by his grandfather before going out.
It is said that this flute was left to him by Xing Yi's father, whom he had never met. Looking at the flute, Xing Yi caressed and touched it, and then took out a piece of source crystal from the small space inside and placed it on the array eye.
The white light on the platform suddenly flashed, and it was shaking violently, it seemed that it had been useless for too long and had fallen into disrepair for many years. Xing Yi was worried for a while, and at this moment, a strong white light flashed, and Xing Yi only felt that the world was spinning.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the middle of a scorching mountain, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the bare rock face.
