Volume 1 Chapter 21 Soul Collection
After a ritual was prepared, Bai Mo pinched a burning talisman and threw it into the bowl, and the bowl of water boiled without fire.
As puffs of green smoke came out, the single talisman turned into a pinch of tiny powder and was blown into the air.
As soon as he finished this series of actions, he saw the head of the Zhou family pushing the door and walking in with a happy face: "Bai Daochang, you are really a god, sure enough, my son has come to his senses." ”
Bai Mo bowed his head at him without saying a word, his eyes were cold, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
The head of the Zhou family was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "But what's wrong?" ”
Bai Mo's upper and lower lips closed, and he coldly spit out two "no", and went straight back to the house.
The head of the Zhou family wanted to catch up and say something, but was blocked from going.
Lu Jiu said impatiently: "Brother Bai has just consumed a lot of mana, and now he needs to bathe and cultivate himself, don't disturb him now." ”
The head of the Zhou family also heard that many masters needed a lot of attention to the formation of the formation, and he couldn't help but have a little more respect for Bai Mo.
"That's natural, natural," the head of the Zhou family smiled ashamedly, "If there is anything you need, just command." ”
Bai Mo pushed the door and walked into the antique pavilion, but today's room was very different. The whole room is luxuriously furnished, and the utensils are also top-notch, with aura of antiques. But this place is still empty, not even a little popular, there is no longer the old girl with eyebrows like stars and a smile like a flower to greet him.
Bai Mo's eyes darkened, and his heart said Isn't this the result that has long been expected?
In the silence, some inconspicuous noises around me were all in the ears, like the sound of the wind breaking through the window knocking on the surface of the old ancient bottle, making a low and dull sound.
All these things made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Bai Mo's expression moved slightly, and he slowly clenched his fists.
Perhaps, this is called loneliness.
Only a few seconds later, Bai Mo came back to his senses and walked to the table where he drew talismans, but his feet suddenly softened, and his body staggered.
He held on to the corner of the table next to him, barely standing firmly, and the peachwood sword in the palm of his hand also slid off his hand.
At this moment, the petals of a peach blossom fluttered down in the wine, like a small boat cruising gently in the water.
Bai Mo stretched out his fingers and stirred in the cup, and the red blood actually seeped out from between the middle fingers for no reason, dyeing the wine in the cup red like a ribbon. However, even when he saw this strange scene, he did not even frown, and used his index finger stained with wine to draw a complicated pattern on the white paper next to him.
As soon as the pattern appeared, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out, but after a moment, after the halo disappeared, it was like a water mirror in the air, showing a picture.
If Gu Le stayed here at this moment, he would find that this was the scene of her conversation with the little boy.
Bai Mo quietly watched this picture, he knew that Gu Le was a simple-minded little girl who didn't know anything about the world, but he never thought that this person would be so gullible to be so credulous about himself who only counted a few faces.
I have to say that when I realized this fact, my heart was beating like I had never felt before, and it was a very wonderful feeling.
Fresh, but not annoying.
Bai Mo guessed that maybe it was a kind of connection with the Harmony Technique, which turned this fake marriage into a real connection, so he snorted lightly, I don't know what she will be like after these things are known by this little girl.
Bai Mo walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the girl's peaceful face on the bed as if she was asleep, as exquisite as a unique treasure in the world.
He sighed slightly.
What Gu Le didn't know was that he was not Bai Mo, and there was no such person as Bai Mo in this world.
It was just a shell, a mask, maybe the Bai Mo she saw and liked was just the tip of her iceberg, and she was a relaxed self without any burden.
In that investigation of the girl's heart, he had a kind of ambivalence in his heart, and he was happy and a little bit of a gain and loss. He can become a good partner and good friend with Gu Le, but after becoming Bai Xiuhan, the head of the Bai family who is surrounded by all kinds of troubles and crises, will he still have such a clean and pure person by his side?
Bai Xiuhan pulled the quilt upwards and sighed.
If it weren't for the Bai family's artifact and relying on the puppet shell that he had prepared, I'm afraid he would have gone to see Hades a long time ago.
Hearing Gu Le's words today, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Maybe there is really the person who makes him willing to let her be by his side......
At this moment, Gu Le's fingers suddenly curled, and Bai Xiuhan also came back to his senses and looked over.
The four eyes were facing each other, one was calm and calm, while the other was full of complexity and tension.
Bai Xiuhan suddenly felt a nervous mood in his heart, and he didn't have enough confidence in the next perfect plan.
He wanted to lift Gu Le's body up from the bed, but as soon as his fingers touched his arm, he was quietly avoided.
Gu Le didn't see Bai Xiuhan's expression change, she asked with a serious face, "How long did I sleep just now?" ”
Bai Xiuhan didn't seem to think of this situation, and was stunned for a while before he replied dryly: "...... It's been a day. ”
It's the first time to see such a strategizing person with such an expression, but there is a sense of contrasting joy. Gu Le suppressed the mood of wanting to laugh, slowly sank his face, and looked at the man in front of him sharply: "My birth this time was just an accident?" ”
Although it was a sudden attack of imagination, Bai Mo was silent, and his eyes gradually became darker.
"Besides, why is it that a wisp of my soul has returned, but my body still can't be condensed," Gu Le pinched the copper coin string on his wrist and said coldly: "I remember that when Brother Bai was at the beginning, he didn't say that."
After a long time, without getting any answer, Gu Le stood up and looked at him at eye level, and asked softly: "Bai Mo, let me just ask, do you want to take my soul?" ”
Bai Xiuhan did not hesitate this time, and denied it very decisively: "No." ”
Seeing her insistent expression, Bai Xiuhan helplessly stretched out his hand and gently rubbed her neck, which had become stiff because she had slept for a long time.
Although the atmosphere around was extremely ambiguous, one insisted on asking for an answer, and the other was trying his best to pile up words, thinking about how not to let this powder keg be ignited and exploded.
However, after a while, Bai Xiuhan sighed and said, "I originally wanted to wait until this matter was completely over before telling you, but I was afraid that your emotions would be unstable, and instead you fell into the path of that evil ghost." ”
He thought for a moment and said, "You should have noticed it when you were holding the glass lamp, and the soul trapped in the lamp had the same energy fluctuations as your soul, so I thought it was strange and took advantage of the past few days to investigate." Later, I found out that although the head of the Zhou family was more polite to me, he still had three points of doubt, so he secretly found another Taoist priest. ”
Gu Le said strangely: "Daoist? Do you want to open the altar together? ”
If there is a problem of ghosts and monsters that cannot be solved due to insufficient class, it is a common phenomenon that Taoist priests will also protect each other and form a contract with each other.
However, Bai Xiuhan shook his head: "No, that Taoist priest is not an orthodox Taoist sect, he is famous for his evil sect crooked techniques, but because of opportunistic shortcuts, he has solved many difficulties and has been praised by some people." And this time he cast a spell to eliminate evil spirits, and he used the method of sacrificing the soul. ”
Gu Le was shocked, and immediately thought of the soul in the glass lamp.
As if sensing that he had thought of something, Bai Xiuhan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, it's not the real soul in your body, so even if you enter your body after you break it and lead you into a life, you won't stare at the original entity." But it still has some benefits, at least your 'death' charm has loosened somewhat. ”
Gu Le was overjoyed, and then he raised his head suddenly.
"You mean ......"
Bai Xiuhan nodded: "This is the reason why I brought you here this time and sucked away your soul." ”
Bai Xiuhan's tone was unusually gentle, but thinking of the Taoist priest's approach, Gu Le's heart gradually cooled.
The master once said that although cultivators have their own Dao hearts and principles to adhere to, it is inevitable that some people will take advantage of the loopholes in the law and do things that violate common sense. But if you sacrifice other people's lives and blessings in exchange for another person's life, this practice is absolutely unacceptable.
At this time, the head of the Zhou family suddenly pushed the door in, his eyes panicked: "Bai Daoist, I suddenly saw the compass turning in this direction, is there an evil ghost here?"
Except for the caster, no one else can see the body of the living soul.
Gu Le glared at Bai Xiuhan fiercely, his eyes vigilant and fierce.
However, Bai Xiuhan only looked at her for two seconds before looking away. He turned to the man outside the door and said, "There's a demon here, I'm going to take her now." ”
Gu Le: "??? She saw a piece of talisman paper float out of Bai Xiuhan's sleeve and landed on her lightly, and after a sudden sink, her originally virtual body quickly condensed into a substance.
The head of the Zhou family was startled when he saw the female ghost on the bed that appeared out of thin air. But when I looked closely at the pale face of the little ghost on the bed, and the helpless and frightened eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little pity in my heart.
His eyes were fixed on the beautiful face without blinking, and his Adam's apple moved: "This...... What kind of evil ghost is this, it doesn't look that scary, does it? ”
Bai Xiuhan's eyes instantly darkened, and a dangerous atmosphere enveloped his whole body, and the head of the Zhou family was stabbed by that cold gaze, and couldn't help but shudder.
However, soon, Bai Xiuhan returned his gaze to Gu Le, and the corners of his mouth hooked a mocking arc: "It's a ghost, it specializes in hooking men's souls, do you want to try it?" ”
As if a knife had been poked in the eye, the head of the Zhou family retracted his gaze and didn't dare to look at it anymore, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said goodbye.
- In these years, are the ghosts so bold that they dare to seduce Taoist priests?
"Although your soul is still unstable just after returning to its place, the opportunity to crack the 'death' talisman can no longer wait," Bai Xiuhan said quickly, "Now is not a good time to explain, and then I will tell you as it is, but you must remember what I said just now, and the talisman bag for you must also be taken well, and I will send you to the Gate of the Three Realms in a while, and you must be careful in everything when you get there." ”
Bai Xiuhan didn't explain what he had just said, he just made a gesture with one hand, and after packing up his magic weapon, he began to prepare for the opening of the altar.
There was a jingling bell outside the door, mixed with a loud noise, and it seemed that several people were arguing and arguing.
Among them, Lu Jiu's voice suddenly became extremely loud: "If you want to leave it alone, don't care, who do you think you are, Brother Bai needs you to ask about things?" ”
Gu Le's heart sank, knowing that he seemed to be in trouble, so he wanted to get up and take a look. However, at this moment, the white light in the sachet on his chest was victorious, and a warm current enveloped the whole body, and those pains and impetuousness suddenly disappeared in an instant.
In her confusion, she seemed to vaguely see Bai Mo standing in a firelight, and the orange firelight rippled in the lighter pupils. His lips twitched a few times, as if trying to convey something to him.
It was something she had never seen before, vivid and vivid.
Before she had time to think about the message conveyed by Bai Xiuhan at this last glance, Gu Le only felt that her consciousness sank and she fainted completely.
