Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Mass Grave Summons the Spirit{1}
It's a bit unfair to kill so many people, why don't you just kill them.
Hearing this, Xiaobao finally understood why Wang Tao hated Huangpizi so much, it turned out that there was such a bizarre experience in his life.
At the same time, he also figured out why he always wanted to beat up the old Taoist, in fact, the reason was really simple, that is, because the old Taoist priest let go of those evil yellow skins.
It stands to reason that he hated those yellow-skinned people, but it was a little too much to resent the old Taoist, because the old Taoist only adhered to the principles of cultivators.
And the reason why those yellow skins do such hurtful things is mostly because they are manipulated by the people behind the scenes, instead of blaming the old Taoist priest for being too merciful, it is better to work hard to find out who is behind the scenes, which is a wiser choice.
Although the reason is very simple, the simple-minded Wang Tao turned a blind eye and only thought about how to take revenge on the old Taoist, which is really a little inexplicable to think about, but this is also completely in line with Wang Tao's tendonous character.
was sighing to himself, but unexpectedly, Wang Tao suddenly said excitedly: "Xiaobao, let me tell you a secret." ”
After speaking, he smirked a few times, and without waiting for Xiaobao to make any response, he immediately continued: "I remember that when those yellow-skinned people turned into human forms and approached me, except for the two Taoist priests, one old and one young, it seems that only I can see the demonic energy emanating from those yellow-skinned essences!" ”
"Why is that?"
Xiaobao shrugged his nose and looked at him with a confused expression.
Although I was indeed a little curious in my heart, I still couldn't help but think with a bad taste: At that time, there were only four of you in the old mansion of the Zhou family, and three of them could see the demonic energy emanating from Huang Pizi's body, is this probability very low?
Wang Tao didn't know what Xiaobao was thinking, but when he saw Xiaobao staring at him blankly, he suddenly became proud in his heart.
Raised his neck and opened his mouth, and was about to show off in front of Xiaobao, but suddenly a muffled sound came from outside the door: "Bang!" ”
The two of them turned their heads nervously, only to see that Granny Sun had kicked open the door, and carried the unconscious Xiaomei on her back, and walked in slowly step by step.
Entering the house, Granny Sun raised her head and panted and beckoned them to come over and help.
Hearing Granny Sun speak, the two of them recovered from their shock.
The two of them went over to help her help Xiaomei down, and Xiaobao anxiously asked what was going on, and said that Xiaomei was unconscious.
Grandma Sun covered her mouth and coughed heavily for a while, and when she sat down on the Taishi chair with a slump body, she explained that Xiaobao sent Xiaomei back to the room first, and then asked Wang Tao to hurry up and cook a bowl of ginger soup to give her a good luck.
Although they don't know what happened, when Xiaobao and Wang Tao saw Granny Sun's pale face, who dared to bother her more.
So the two didn't say much, but went to work according to her instructions.
Xiaobao carried Xiaomei to the earthen kang, and stood beside her with sadness in his eyes, worried about her comfort.
When Grandma Sun drank a bowl of steaming ginger soup, the look on her face was slightly soothed, but even so, she couldn't stop coughing heavily for a while.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Tao hurriedly sent a bowl of ginger soup to the unconscious Xiaomei.
Xiaobao took the ginger soup from his hand, and he was a little more moved in his heart, but he didn't expect that Wang Tao, who usually looks at the thick branches and leaves, also has a delicate side.
thanked him on the spot, and Xiaobao was extremely nervous to feed Xiaomei hot soup.
may be because of the confusion of concern, when Granny Sun reached out and patted Xiaobao's head, Xiaobao was forcibly withdrawn from her chaotic thoughts at once.
He pouted, looked at Granny Sun with red eyes, and looked like he had been greatly wronged: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with Xiaomei?" She, she's going to be fine, right? ”
Grandma Sun sighed a little embarrassed, saying that Xiaomei had lost her soul, so she fell unconscious.
He also said that as long as she could get her lost soul back in time, then there would be no big problem.
After saying this, Grandma Sun took out a red thread from her cuff and wrapped it back and forth on Xiaomei's body, until the red thread was exhausted, and then beckoned Xiaobao to go out to find Xiaomei's soul.
Wang Tao was a little dumbfounded when he saw this, and ran to Granny Sun in a few arrows and couldn't help but speak: "Granny Sun, I have to follow to find Xiaomei's soul!" As the saying goes, if I go with you, maybe I can help a lot. ”
"You can't follow us, it's safer to stay and take care of Xiaomei."
Granny Sun decisively rejected Wang Tao's kindness, because she knew that an extreme yin physique like Wang Tao was too easy to provoke dirty things.
Let's not talk about whether taking him out at night will cause any more trouble, at least even if he goes with him, it will be useless, because he doesn't understand the art of Xuanmen, and brute force alone can't help much.
In line with the principle that more is better than less, it is better to let him stay at home.
Although he was unwilling, Wang Tao also knew what was at stake, and nodded a little depressedly, "That's okay, but you have to remember to come back early." ”
After speaking, he suddenly turned his head nervously and glanced around the room, and stared at Granny Sun with some fear: "I'm mainly worried that during this time of your absence, if something more evil comes to make trouble, it will be very bad!" You say I'm a clumsy old man, how can I deal with those vicious weird things, I..."
"Well, there's some truth to what you're saying."
Granny Sun nodded, took out a palm-sized peachwood sword from her waist and handed it to him, "This peachwood sword has been with me for some years, and there is more or less mana attached to it, as long as you put it away, it must be no big deal." ”
Wang Tao took the wooden arrow, held it in the palm of his hand, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he muttered in a low voice: "Is it really fake?" Oh my God, this little wooden sword isn't as thick as my thumb, let alone deterring ghosts, I'm afraid it's too hard to tickle it. ”
When he was sorrowful, Granny Sun had already walked out of the door with Xiaobao.
On the way, Grandma Sun accidentally found that the jade pendant on Xiaobao's neck was missing, and hurriedly asked him where the jade pendant was.
Xiaobao didn't dare to hide it, took out the jade pendant with broken thread from his jacket pocket, handed it to her, and told her about what he had heard talking to Wang Tao in the room before.
Grandma Sun took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and found that this jade pendant already showed signs that her spiritual power was about to be dissipated, and she was taken aback at the moment.
Finding this terrible situation, Grandma Sun didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly took out a few spiritual runes and quickly put them in her palm to burn, and kept chanting incantations in her mouth.
After a few pieces of rune paper were completely burned into ashes, she wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with a little tiredness, and handed the jade pendant back to Xiaobao.
Xiaobao took back the jade pendant, and asked Granny Sun with some trepidation, saying that this jade pendant still has to be carefully warmed.
For this matter, Granny Sun did not deny it, "Yes, this jade pendant does need to be warmed, I didn't tell you before, because I never expected to encounter so much trouble recently, I planned to settle down in the future and tell you the mystery of this, who knows that the mistake almost didn't destroy this piece of high-grade spirit jade, it's really a sin!" ”
The tone in which she said this sentence contained too many complex meanings, as if there was self-blame, chagrin, and even a little panic.
As for what she was thinking in her heart, Xiaobao didn't know, remembering what the strange man said in the house before, she unconsciously felt a little more suspicious...
In the silent hut, Wang Tao was nervously holding a small wooden sword the size of a palm, guarding in front of Xiaomei Kangtou in a daze.
As soon as Granny Sun and Xiaobao left, the place instantly became a little deserted, and even someone to talk to couldn't be found.
The room was really quiet, and the silence made Wang Tao always feel very uncomfortable.
There was no way, in order to get rid of this dilemma, Wang Tao had no choice but to say some nonsense to himself to the unconscious Xiaomei: "I said Xiaomei, if you wake up, quickly open your mouth and say something, what if you keep your eyes closed and don't squeak."
Who knew that he had not finished his words, but suddenly a soft sound came from the corner of the room: "Hiss." ”
Wang Tao reflexively turned around and looked, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound through the dim light of the kerosene lamp.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Nothing has changed in the corners.
Wang Tao's Adam's apple shrugged quickly, and he was still not sure if he had heard it wrong.
It's just that after thinking of the bizarre and weird things that happened to him, he found that he was indeed a little suspicious now.
However, he would rather be cautious than act as if nothing had happened, at least this is always on guard, which always makes him feel more or less secure.
Wang Tao turned his back to Xiaomei, but his mouth refused to be idle: "Xiaomei, you can't squeak, you don't speak, why do I always feel a little hairy in my heart?" ”
Although he knew that Xiaomei was still in a coma, Wang Tao still chose to use words to strengthen his courage.
"Ahh
An extremely piercing scream broke the silence in the room in an instant.
"Ouch! My mom yes! ”
Wang Tao, who was not mentally prepared, was directly frightened by this sudden voice and fell to his knees on the ground, and even the small wooden sword that he was holding tightly in his hand just now was thrown aside in embarrassment.
Wang Tao, who was kneeling on the ground, felt his hair stand on end, and his back was cold.
He trembled slightly in his hands and groped around on the ground for a while, until he took the small wooden sword left by Grandma Sun back in his hand, and then dared to get up from the ground slowly.
As if his body froze, he turned his head very slowly, and looked at Xiaomei behind him, which suddenly made him gasp.
I saw Xiaomei, who was lying quietly on the kang before, and her face was getting more and more at the moment...
