Chapter 135: Those who know me, Bai Li is also!
In fact, when I asked this sentence, I didn't expect Old Man Yang to really answer me, after all, he was afraid of the woman upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Yang immediately lowered his voice and said, "That person, don't mess with it, you can't afford to mess with it." ”
"And what if I tell you that the man is coming for us?" I said.
Old man Yang's face froze: "Are you sure I'm here for you?" ”
I nodded, and he hissed, "That's going to be hard." ”
"It's only five o'clock in the morning, and it's twelve o'clock in the evening, it's too long, anything can happen halfway, do you have any way to help us get rid of the golden cicada?"
Old man Yang shook his head: "She herself is from the underworld, and now you have to go to the underworld, and you can't avoid her." ”
The words 'from the underworld' made me sure that my previous guess was correct, that the woman must have something to do with the black silk monster I encountered earlier.
Since we can't hide, then we can only take one step at a time.
I didn't ask Old Man Yang to help us or anything, he might not be able to help with this kind of thing.
"Then I'll go back first." I stood up and said, "Let's get rid of the poison of the female corpse cockroach first." ”
Old man Yang didn't speak, so I walked upstairs and glanced at the door opposite from a distance, quietly, without any movement at all.
As soon as I returned to the room, Jiu Gu nervously asked me, "How is it?" What does he want you to get in exchange? ”
I told Jiugu about the transaction with Old Man Yang, and Jiugu was also relieved after listening to it: "I didn't expect there to be such a turnaround, put the others aside first, and help Ah Ye to solve the poison of the female corpse cockroach first." ”
I opened the black box, and sure enough, there were two marble-sized black pills lying inside, pinched one and put it in Mo Xianye's mouth, and then luck helped him smooth the pill down.
Jiu Gu and I nervously stayed aside, waiting for Mo Xianye's reaction, the process of detoxification must be very uncomfortable, and there may be emergencies at any time.
Sure enough, after a while, Mo Xianye covered his heart, and after a few times, he began to vomit black blood.
In the black blood that he spit out, there were dense corpse cockroach eggs, and as he kept spitting out black blood, the color of his purple-black back slowly faded.
I stayed with Jiu Gu on the side, unable to help him with anything, and my heart was restless.
This process continued for a long time, and it was not until Mo Xianye's back turned red and swollen back and blood began to flow from the two holes pierced by the female corpse's mouthparts, that he stopped vomiting blood and rested on the edge of the bed with his eyes closed.
I climbed into bed and used my true qi to help him heal his wounds, and Jiu Gu was cleaning up the room, and there was a bad smell in the whole room.
"Mo Xianye, are you okay?" I asked softly.
His eyelids lifted and he muttered, "I'm alive." ”
"When did the female corpse cockroach bite you, why didn't you tell me?" I feel sorry for him, but I'm also a little angry, this man really doesn't take his life seriously.
Mo Xianye smiled bitterly: "If I tell you, we both have to die at the foot of Wuli Slope, and the female corpse cockroach is not a joke." ”
"You also know that it's not a joke, and you dare to take such a risk, do you know, you almost died." As I spoke, I reached out to hammer him, but before my hand fell, I remembered the wound on his back, and reluctantly retracted it.
Mo Xianye stretched out his hand to wrap my hand in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Isn't it okay now, Bai Li, life always has to go and stay, no matter how reluctant it is, it will eventually end, if one day I really ...... No, don't cry, don't think about me, promise me, start your new life as soon as possible, okay? ”
All right? He can also ask these words!
I was angry in my heart, so I turned my face away and ignored him, he leaned against the head of the bed, also weak and didn't want to speak.
After all, I couldn't bear it, and asked Jiu Gu if she had any gold sore medicine, and Jiu Gu took out the jade dew cream from her arms and gave it to me.
I remember this gyokuro cream, before in the medicinal fragrance house, Lu Xin suggested that we buy some and put them on our bodies for later use, but we didn't take it seriously.
It's rare now.
I asked Mo Xian to lie on his stomach at night, and smeared the jade dew paste on his wound, this jade dew paste was cold and transparent, and it was smeared round and round on the two hideous holes, and I could even see that the muscle tissue was growing and recovering rapidly.
Taking advantage of the time when I was taking medicine on Mo Xianye, Jiu Gu went down and brought three bowls of white noodle soup and let us all eat some.
I had already eaten it below just now, so I fed Mo Xianye with a noodle bowl, and he was also hungry, so he ate it bite by bite, and finally ate my portion by the way before lying down satisfied.
"How's it going, is the wound still painful?" I asked.
Mo Xianye shook his head: "After taking the medicine, it doesn't hurt, this jade dew ointment really lives up to its name." ”
When he said that, I was much more relieved.
The three of them sat there, staring at each other, not knowing what to do next.
It was Jiu Gu who spoke first: "If, as Bai Li described, this woman's hair is her weapon, and it comes from the underworld, then all I can think of is a hair demon." ”
"Hair demon? What is Hair Demon? I asked.
Jiugu explained: "The Heishui River undertook all the sins of the world, and brought a group of unjust souls into the Lechuan River, and the ghosts and demons in the Lechuan River were rampant, and these unjust souls became their delicious meal. ”
"Therefore, the hair demon is the resentment of all the souls who have been swallowed by the Lechuan River came into being, and it is the top three existences in the Lechuan River, and every hair of her is the embodiment of a soul, and we are miserable when we are targeted by her."
It turns out that the hair demon is so powerful, when I encountered the hair demon at the bottom of the cliff of Shengxiantai, I have already appreciated her power, and even Mo Xianye's mother couldn't stop her.
And now, she lives across from us, and it's really hard to get out from under her nose.
"But," Jiu Gu suddenly said, "as far as I know, the demon has been sealed in the cold pool of the lower reaches of the Lechuan River because of his deep sin, and it should not appear in the world to cause chaos." ”
Mo Xianye continued: "The real demon must be controlled by the underworld, and those who dare to act wantonly in the world should only be her doppelganger, so her strength must be far inferior to the demon itself." ”
"Yes, Mo Xianye, do you remember, when we were on the cliff wall under the Ascension Immortal Terrace, it was those strands of hair that entangled me, but after you pulled me out of the darkness, those strands of hair didn't catch up, she was afraid of the sun, if it was really the hair demon in the Lechuan River, such a powerful existence, shouldn't be so afraid of the sun, right?"
"In this way, our guess should be correct, our woman is not the demon deity, but just a doppelganger of her." Jiu Gu said excitedly, "No wonder she hasn't moved since she came up at about four o'clock, she is waiting for time." ”
"It's daytime now, although the sunlight can't penetrate in the city, but after all, it's daytime, her mana is restricted, and once night falls again, her mana will also increase, and then it's a good time for her to make a move." Mo Xianye analyzed.
I also nodded: "So we have two choices now, the first is to take advantage of the daytime, we quietly leave more than half a step, but outside, it is even more dangerous; The other is that while her mana is not so strong during the day, we will preemptively take her down to prevent future troubles. ”
"It sounds like the second is the better option, but it's actually a bad idea to do either of these two things." Jiugu said.
"You're missing a point." Mo Xianye reminded, "Huang Yilin already knows our whereabouts, and it won't be long before we stay for more than half a step, and more importantly, even if we can stay for more than half a step, until twelve o'clock at midnight, Huang Yilin's men will definitely be waiting for us at the door of entering the Ghost Gate Crossing." ”
"The Ghost Gate Crossing is very small, and if you can enter the Ghost Gate Crossing, you can contact our people, but if you go to the Heishui River and want to enter the underworld, you have to wait until twelve o'clock at midnight when the Ghost Gate opens, so it's useless for us to go out early." Jiu Gu then said.
Mo Xianye and Jiugu denied both possibilities, and the three of them fell into an impasse again.
"Actually, none of that matters." I pondered for a moment and said, "We've been thinking about how we're going to get into the underworld, but we've been ignoring the fact that the Holy Maiden isn't in the underworld. ”
The whereabouts of the saint have always been a mystery, we only know that it is related to the underworld, and the rest is uncertain.
Don't make it to the end, after desperately living in the underworld, but the saint is not there, then everything we have done is not in vain?
"At the beginning, it was the doppelganger of this demon who swept the saint away, she should know the path of the saint after that, right?" I continued.
Jiu Gu suddenly looked at me: "What do you mean...... Grab the woman on the other side first, and then interrogate it? ”
"It's useless, these people are very tight-mouthed, even if she dies, she won't leak any useful information." Mo Xianye said.
Jiu Gu echoed: "What's more, the clone on the other side is just a clone of the hair demon, a clone, talking about life and death, even if it is destroyed immediately, it will only break one of her hairs and hurt her vitality a little." ”
"Chaos, there must be chaos, and only in chaos can we win." Mo Xianye suddenly made up his mind, "No matter whether we can get clues from the other party or not, we will mess up the situation, it's a big deal......"
Mo Xian was ruthless and looked at me, but the last cruel sentence did not come out.
I immediately understood his words: "It's a big deal to combine the strength of the three of us, urge the Yin and Yang Order, and stir up a mess between the two worlds of Yin and Yang, the current situation is bad enough, no matter how bad it is, what can it be so bad that we can't accept it?" ”
Mo Xianye smiled, reached out and put his arm around my neck, and kissed me the forehead: "Those who understand me, Bai Li is also." ”
Jiu Gu glanced at the two of us and muttered, "I still don't think it's enough to make us so crazy." ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and the three of us were stunned at the same time.
Who's knocking on our door?
Just now he was busy talking, and he didn't seem to notice the sound of the stairs, so he couldn't be sure if Old Man Yang had come up.
"I'll drive it." Mo Xianye said that he was about to get out of bed.
Jiu Gu held him down: "Let's go with me, you two are more impulsive." ”
As she spoke, she walked towards the door, and Mo Xian and I had already gotten out of bed, staring at the door vigilantly, waiting to rush over at any moment.
With a creak, the door opened.
Jiu Gu subconsciously took a step back, and Mo Xianye and I suddenly became nervous.
The door was completely opened, and standing in the doorway was a very beautiful woman.
The woman is very tall, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, a small face the size of a palm, and the corners of her mouth are slightly hooked, with a charming smile.
She was dressed in a bright red cheongsam with a high slit and a smoky tulle on the outside, and her long hair hung down to her calves.
I subconsciously grabbed Mo Xianye's hand, and when I saw the black and shiny hair, I was already sure that this woman was the one who lived opposite.
I wouldn't be mistaken for this hair.
We were discussing how to deal with her, but we didn't expect her to preemptively come to us.
I always assumed that she was very cold, but now between her eyebrows, I saw only a gentle and beautiful girl.
Was she too good at disguise, or was my assumption from the beginning wrong?
Jiu Gu stabilized her mind and asked, "Excuse me, is there anything I can do to help?" ”
The woman asked, "Don't you want me to come in and sit down?" ”
Jiu Gu glanced back at us, Mo Xianye nodded, and then let the woman in and closed the door.
Although this woman is quite jealous of us, after all, we have three people, and we are not afraid of her sudden trouble, and besides, we are planning to confront her head-on, so she is coming over now, but it coincides with us.
The woman was also generous, and when she came in, she sat down at the table by herself, poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "Won't you sit?" ”
At that moment, it was as if she was the host and we were the guests.
A few people sat around the table, and the three of us didn't speak, waiting for the woman to say something.
After a while, the woman asked suspiciously, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”
She was very calm, as if she was confident, and she was not afraid of the three of us doing anything to her, Mo Xianye said: "We have never been masked, this is your first time here as a guest, and if you are not familiar with it, there is nothing to ask." ”
"Nothing to ask?" The woman repeated, as if she had heard something particularly funny, and said, "We're not unmasked, we had two encounters not long ago. ”
Once at the bottom of the cliff of Shengsendai, and the other at Daliu Village, both times we were standing on opposite sides, and we never thought that we would sit at the same table and talk so harmoniously now.
At this time, any roundabout words are hypocritical in her eyes, and we are led by her nose.
I couldn't hold it back, so I opened my mouth and asked directly, "Say, what are you trying to do when you come to us?" It was you who swept away the Holy Maiden before, and it was you who attacked us, but if we were not patient enough, you would not be able to sit here so calmly drinking tea and talking. ”
I spoke in a somewhat rushed tone, and the woman laughed all of a sudden: "From the discovery of my existence to the first presence, you have already discussed many plans to deal with me, right?" In your eyes, I'm an enemy, or even a villain that you must exterminate in the short term, right? ”
The tone of this woman's speech is obviously above us, if she is deliberately trying to find fault and want to provoke a fight, she does not need to go to such great lengths, her tone seems to be sure that in the end, we will ask her, and put down her posture for this.
So, according to my inference, she will come knocking on our door to cooperate with us, not to fight.
Although this perception makes me a little difficult to accept, after all, we have fought twice before, and she has no intention of being soft, why did she suddenly change sex?
It's better to have something unusual than a demon, and I believe in this sentence.
I thought for a while and said: "In this world, no matter what is there, there is a principle: if you divide for a long time, you must be divided for a long time, I believe that you came to us at the risk today, there must be something important to discuss with us, in this case, we don't need to guess and waste time, what do you want us to do, just say it." ”
The woman laughed: "You're still smarter." ”
"Yes, I did fight against you twice before and captured the holy woman of your clan, which is also a fact, these are my duties, what I do, for myself, it is just a matter of duty."
"We have cooperated with Mo Yanping for many years, and we are somewhat constrained by him, but this does not mean that we must serve him for the rest of our lives, after all, he is not qualified to be my real master."
"I'm not from a very good background, and my temper is even worse, and the two things I don't like the most are that I am imprisoned and have no freedom; The second is that I am endlessly criticized and very uncomfortable, but I am living such a life now. ”
The woman's words were really sighed by the demon, not specifically referring to this little doppelganger's point of view.
The demon is unbearable to Mo Yanping's involvement, and the pain of being imprisoned, is this trying to pull us into the gang and let us help her jump out of the sea of suffering?
"You want to get rid of Mo Yanping and need our help, and as a bargaining chip, you will return the Holy Maiden to us, right?" I made a point to confirm.
The woman nodded, "Yes, that's what I'm here for." ”
"Kidding, huh?" Mo Xianye suddenly spoke, "The hair demon is a ruthless character in the underworld, can it be controlled by an ordinary person, oh no, a little vixen who can only cultivate the seven tails with all his might?" No one will believe this anywhere. ”
The woman's good-looking brows twisted suddenly, obviously feeling a shame for this kind of questioning, her sharp eyes shot at Mo Xianye, and sneered: "Ordinary people? Seven-tailed fox? Are you sure these words are used to describe Mo Yanping! ”
"What do you say?" Mo Xianye asked rhetorically.
"Then I can only say, you are wrong, very wrong." The woman said, "Mo Yanping is not an ordinary person, needless to say, his methods are vicious, the key is his background, which is not in the same vein as you." ”
The woman's words were so informative that the three of us didn't react for a while, looked at each other for a moment, and then turned to the woman.
"Mo Yanping is not from the fox clan?" Jiu Gu said incredulously, "We have seen his real body, it is indeed a black fox, how can it be ......?"
As she spoke, Jiu Gu suddenly stopped, widened her eyes and asked, "Mo Yanping, Mo Yanping is a member of the elf clan?" ”
Jiu Gu didn't say it, I couldn't remember this at all, as soon as she said this, I suddenly remembered that several clerks in Yaoxiangju, they are also foxes, but they are not ordinary foxes, and they are different from us.
In this way, Mo Yanping and several clerks in Yaoxiangju can be regarded as a family.
"After so many years, he has hidden deep enough." Mo Xianye gritted his teeth and said, "He actually deceived everyone. ”
"Don't talk about the others, the key is your aunt, such a shrewd person, who shares the bed with Mo Yanping every day, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, how can he not find any clues?" Jiu Gu said to Mo Xianye.
"The power of love is enough to make people willingly hide all the truth, Mo Yanping doesn't seem to have many words, but coaxing people behind his back is also a coax." Mo Xianye said, "At first, my aunt may still be entangled, but when she has a child, that bond suddenly rises, even if she can let go of Mo Yanping, she can't let the two children be homeless." ”
"This is the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to ink, your aunt has been following Mo Yan for a long time, and her heart has actually changed." I concluded.
The woman chuckled lightly and said, "Those, it doesn't matter, what matters is, how big is Mo Yanping's ambition, what is he doing for invading your fox clan and hiding for so many years?" ”
"None of this matters, what matters is, where did he get the Holy Maiden?" Mo Yanping's matter needs to be dug deeper, we can't just listen to the woman's words and believe it all, what kind of good person is she?
She came to obviously talk about cooperation, and since she wants to cooperate, she should only talk about the matter itself, and not talk about it.
The woman was stunned, and the topic was interrupted by me, which made her a little unhappy, but looking at my stinky face, she had to follow my topic: "The saint is not in the underworld, originally according to Mo Yanping's explanation, the saint was to be sent to the elf clan to be strictly guarded, but my master ...... It's the demon, and the order left the saint directly by his side, and now you have come here, the purpose is to go to the underworld to save the saint, but you have also seen this road, it is not easy to walk. ”
"The saint is in your hands, we can talk about the conditions, let's say, if you want to release the saint, what are the conditions, just open it." I said.
"The condition is to help my master break through the seal, break free from Mo Yanping's control, and regain his freedom, this condition is not excessive, right?" The woman said.
I sneered and said: "The demon is a product of the Lechuan River, it is controlled by the underworld, and it is also the decision of the underworld to be sealed, and helping the demon to lift the seal is to go against the entire underworld, which is ...... Not excessive? ”
