Chapter 5: The Aftermath

No matter how strong I am, I must withstand it, or I will never have a chance to fight back!

"Yin soldiers borrow the way, break!"

Boom!

The sound of my shouting rang out at the same time as the loud sound of being hit, and as I flew out, the blood talisman whistled away with the fierce sound of the wind in an instant.

Bang!

With a violent sound, the entire black space was shaken by a huge force, and the space began to shake violently, tearing, and white light was shooting into the space unscrupulously.

I no longer had the strength to move, lying on the ground, like a gossamer, as if my soul was swimming in the sky, without a trace of concern.

Woooooooooooooooo

After the terrible roar, the space of the illusion was completely shattered, the world returned to its original state, and the water of the Fu River flowed loudly. A huge human skin face was suspended in front of it, similar to the human skin face I saw on the edge of the Min River, but there were still differences, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not the same face.

The human skin face had a painful look on its face, twisted together, and a dark liquid flowed from the hollow eyes, which seemed to be blood.

"I'll be back!"

The human skin face said resentfully, and then gradually burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

"Master, are you alright?"

The illusion was broken, and I heard Tu's voice very clearly, and I didn't have any strength to answer him. Tu saw that I didn't respond, so he materialized, saw me lying on the ground, Tu quickly helped me up, I was completely weak, like a puddle of mud, in Tu's shouts, I gradually lost consciousness.

"Hasn't Xiaodong woken up yet?"

"Not yet, his injuries are too serious, and his longevity will be reduced by at least three years."

I dimly heard Xiyue and her mother talking, their tone anxious.

"Mom...... Xiyue ......"

I tried to sit up, but my whole body ached, but I still didn't have any strength. Mother and Xiyue heard my call and hurried in. Xiyue slowly helped me up, and lay in Xiyue's arms, I felt warmth and tenderness, and the pain in my body was reduced a little.

"Xiaodong, you're finally awake!"

My mother sat on the edge of my bed, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, she was much haggard, and gray hair appeared on her sideburns.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"It's been more than four days."

Xiyue touched my forehead, her eyes were a little resentful, I know, she is also worried about me.

It's been four days, and I've been lying in bed for four days, which shows the seriousness of the injury, but what I'm most worried about is Chen Chuyi.

"Where's Grandpa Chen? How is he! ”

Chen Chuyi, who fell into the illusion with me, should not be able to escape this catastrophe, and the power of the human skin and face is not something that Chen Chuyi can handle.

"Alas, Chen Chuyi's injuries are not very serious, and he was unconscious when Tu sent him back, but he only lay down for a day."

After listening to my mother's words, a stone in my heart finally landed, and Chen Chuyi was fine. We were lucky to be able to break through the illusion and escape and leave our lives behind. At this time, the mother was holding a piece of paper in her hand, and that paper was the same paper that Chen Chuyi traced the symbols.

The mother looked at the symbols on the paper for a while, and seemed to know the symbols by heart.

"Mom, what exactly is this symbol?"

"The symbol of the corpse clan, called the Illusory Talisman, is a powerful illusion talisman, and those who can use the Illusory Talisman among the corpse clan should be above the elder."

Elder or above? In other words, the caster must be extremely capable in order to use the Illusion Talisman, and it is no wonder that the illusion is so strong that it took me three years of life to break through. Since it is the Corpse Clan's Illusory Talisman, that is to say, the person behind it is very likely to be a member of the Corpse Clan.

"By the way, I remember that Grandpa Chen said that in the place where the head was buried, traces of corpse blood and the underworld were found, and the corpse clan was involved in this matter, it is certain, as for the underworld, it is not certain."

"Well, the human head that Chen Chuyi found in Zixia Mountain has no trace of the underworld, and the ones you found in Minjiang and Fuhe have traces of the underworld's involvement, and it is very likely that the underworld later joined in."

Mother's conjecture is very likely, perhaps the corpse clan first planned and carried out this event, and then the underworld found it profitable, so they participated halfway. But the existence of the human head pit, what is the effect, is still a mystery. Mother put away the paper with the corpse symbol and took my hand and clasped it around my wrist.

"Well, the recovery is good, it's just that Shouyuan is consumed, and it's not easy to make up for it."

Onmyoji all have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, since I chose to embark on the path of onmyoji, I am naturally mentally prepared to bear the five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

"Also, I need to study this corpse symbol carefully, the power of the Illusory Talisman varies from person to person, if it is used by someone at the level of an elder or above, we may not have the ability to break through, so I must find a way to restrain the Illusory Talisman."

With that, my mother turned around and left, leaving Xiyue alone with me. Lying in Xiyue's arms, the faint body fragrance on her body kept hitting my nose, originally my head was dizzy, but after smelling Xiyue's body fragrance, I was much more sober. Xiyue looked at me very gently, her charming eyes made me intoxicated, and the green silk swept on my face, itchy and crispy, and my heart was also ticklish.

Xiyue must be a good daughter-in-law, I thought in my heart, my hand unconsciously took her hand, held it tightly, she smiled at me, rubbed my head, very comfortable, hazy, I fell asleep again.

By the time I woke up again, my spirit had fully recovered, and my mother's internal injuries had been completely healed. When I got up, I didn't see Xiyue and her mother, they should have gone out.

At this time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and I was still thinking about Chen Chuyi's condition, although my mother said that he did not have much of a problem, but I still decided to go and see him. When I came to the wooden cabinet street, the lights were on in Chen Chuyi's house, and after I knocked on the door, Chen Chuyi came to open the door.

"Grandpa Chen!"

"Oh, Xiaodong!"

After entering the door, I saw that Chen Chuyi was still wrapped in bandages, and he was in good spirits, and it seemed that what my mother said was right, so I was relieved.

"Alas, I didn't expect the two of us to plant so easily."

Chen Chuyi said jokingly, the scars on his face are vivid, and one scar is even to the point where the bones are visible, but fortunately, his injuries are all skin injuries, unlike me, most of my injuries are internal injuries.

"My mother said, it's a unique symbol of the corpse clan, called the Illusion Talisman, a powerful illusion that we can't deal with."

Chen Chu nodded, it seems that he has also communicated with his mother in the past few days.

"We're careless, curiosity kills the cat."

I don't think so, since the caster is a master, our psychology and the direction of action are under his control, it is not a matter of curiosity or curiosity, even if we don't look at the illusion talisman on the stone, the caster will definitely have other ways to activate the illusion talisman, and the result is the same.

"You've been in a coma for the past few days, and our people have found several more human head pits!"
