Chapter Seventy-Six: Misunderstanding
Bai Mei and Luo Qianhe went down the mountain, and although the two of them didn't say a word on the way, they were full of thoughts in their hearts.
Bai Mei was a little remorseful about his attitude just now, after all, Luo Qianhe was originally motivated by good intentions, but it just backfired. Because he was an orphan since he was a child and has a strange appearance, he has always been alienated by others, and he wants to be cared for in his heart. was finally accepted by Da Zhuang and them, and with the help of Luo Qianhe, after only one night, the warmth came to naught.
In fact, the river near their village had several cases of villagers going missing a few years ago, and the villagers thought that there were water monsters hidden in it, but everyone was forced to continue fishing there for their livelihood.
Also, he also felt strange about the iron pillar that came back from the Demon Domain this time, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, so he was the only one in the village who didn't apply the iron pillar's Demon Domain sunscreen.
It didn't take long for Luo Qianhe to descend not far from the village, and said lightly to Bai Mei, "I won't go into the village with you, you can go back by yourself, I won't go to Yunzhong Village again in the future." ”
She looked sad when she spoke, her eyes were rolling, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a wronged child.
Bai Mei looked at him and felt a little distressed, and wanted to say something guiltily, but he never opened his mouth, just watched her go away with his sword, drawing a beautiful streamer in the sunset, farther and farther until he disappeared.
Bai Mei looked in the direction she had left, sighed softly, and walked towards the village.
When he walked into the village, there was a strange scene, in the square in the center of the village, all the villagers had black liquid on their faces, standing motionless, like statues.
He didn't dare to get too close, but just called out from a distance to one of the black-faced people, "Village Chief, what's wrong with you?"
No, this call actually made all the villagers move, and ran towards him frantically as if they were enchanted.
The terrifying appearance of the villagers frightened him desperately to escape, but those villagers in the prime of life were obviously much faster than him in terms of running speed. In desperation, he hid in a house in the village and locked it with a deadbolt.
The wooden door was slammed by the enchanted villagers, and it shook even more, and he used all his strength to resist the wooden door, but the sound of wood shaking came from the window.
The thin window could withstand the onslaught of the villagers, and it was knocked open in three or two blows, and a black-faced male villager crawled out of it and pounced on him at great speed.
He hurriedly freed his hands and feet to resist, and the wooden door on the side was smashed open again, and then surrounded by many black-faced villagers. He fainted in extreme fear, and when he woke up, he was firmly bound and lying on the floor of the village ancestral hall, surrounded by iron pillars and the whole village of men, women, and children smeared with black liquid.
Tie Zhu looked at him and smiled fiercely, "God help me, I thought it would take you a lot of effort to catch you, but I didn't expect that you would send it to the door yourself!"
He trembled with fear and asked, "It's all your relatives and friends here, why are you doing this, why are you arresting me, what are you going to do?"
Tie Zhu's smile became more and more hideous, and he said, "I worshipped a master in the Demon Domain, and he passed on my technique as the Soul Devouring Demon Skill, which can be used to improve the cultivation of other people's souls. ”
After knowing his purpose, Bai Mei was about to cry in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "When I was a child, my father always invited you to come to my house to eat fish, and I kept calling you Uncle Tiezhu, just let me go!"
Hearing Bai Mei's plea for mercy, Tie Zhu said proudly, "The Soul Devouring Dafa I learned is to use the souls of people close to me, otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles back to Yunzhong Village and tried my best to catch you." ”
He snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for Luo Qianhe's two bad plans, how could I need to kill so many people close to me with my own hands, do you know how sad I am? I used this black paste to cover your faces, just because I don't want to see your faces that died tragically!"
Bai Mei was puzzled and asked, "Why did she ruin your plan?"
Tie Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "The first time I cast a spell to control the water demon in the river, I only killed two people and was injured by her, and then the water demon woke up and was so frightened that I took all the fish in the water away." The second time, I controlled a powerful mountain spirit, and before I could do anything, I was injured by him again, and it caused a landslide!"
Hearing this, Bai Mei suddenly forgot his fear, and said angrily at him, "It turns out that you did everything!"
Tie Zhu smiled coldly and said, "What if I did it, I saw Luo Qianhe just left just now, and now no one can save you, obediently smear black pulp on me and die!"
After that, he smeared black liquid on his face one by one, wiped it and said, "Don't be afraid, you won't hurt if you apply this." ”
Bai Mei only felt that his consciousness was slowly disappearing, tears of remorse kept flowing in his eyes, and all his heart was apologetic to Luo Qianhe.
silently repented, "Senior sister, we blamed you for our mistakes, you saved our lives several times, and you were scolded by us in ignorance, it was all our fault, and now it is the consequence of our own trouble." ”
His life has only passed for twelve years, he has not made friends, he has not met the girl he loves, there are still many beautiful things waiting for him in the world, he is unwilling to die like this, he used all his strength, and his last strength, raised his head and let out a scream.
"Senior sister, help me!"
As soon as the words fell, a water dragon pierced the roof of the ancestral hall and fell from the sky, instantly knocking the iron pillar out of the air, slamming into the wall and falling to the ground.
Then a beautiful figure appeared in front of Bai Mei's eyes, beautiful and unparalleled, standing proudly.
At this moment, in Bai Mei's heart, the poet's pen and ink cannot depict Luo Qianhe's beauty. I saw that she was holding a fairy sword in a heroic posture, her hair was as clear as clouds and ink, and her shining eyes were all the beauty in the world.
When she sealed her left hand, a wave of water appeared out of thin air, turning into a basin of water and pouring it on Bai Mei's face, but it could not wash away the black liquid that stuck to his face.
Seeing that the spell didn't work, she swung her fairy sword again, and a giant cyan hand grabbed the fallen iron pillar, bound it and brought it to her.
He asked in a cold voice, "What kind of evil did you smear on them, and why couldn't you wash it off this time?"
Tie Zhu was trapped by the water dragon, only revealing a face, and replied in a trembling voice, "This is the soul syrup extracted from the Demon Domain plant, which can capture people's souls and control the actions of others. ”
Luo Qianhe didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he directly ordered, "Hurry up and get rid of the things on their faces!"
Hearing this, Tie Zhu showed a helpless expression, and said, "My cultivation is still shallow, just reciting spells can't do it, you have to untie it for me, I need to seal it with both hands." ”
In the face of the huge difference in strength, Luo Qianhe did not hesitate, she directly lifted the spell that held the iron pillar, and the iron pillar fell from the air.
After the iron pillar fell to the ground, he nodded hurriedly, reciting the Fa in his mouth, and his hands were sealed, and the black liquid on the faces of those villagers began to slowly dissolve, dripping down little by little.
Seeing that the spell was about to be lifted, Luo Qianhe gradually lowered his vigilance and walked towards Bai Mei, and the fairy sword untied him again. Unexpectedly, at the moment when Bai Mei was untied, he suddenly took out a dagger from his arms, flashed with cold light, and stabbed her waist violently.
At this moment, Bai Mei showed an extremely frightened expression, this was not his intention, and he didn't know that he had a dagger hidden in his arms, but his body was completely controlled just now, and he actually did such a thing.
His heart trembled, and he cried loudly, "Senior sister, don't!"
Tie Zhu showed a cold smile behind Luo Qianhe's back, and said, "You didn't expect me to have a backhand, right? Let you always spoil me and do good things, I will let you die today on this nosy!"
But he didn't want Luo Qianhe to turn around slowly, and the dagger stabbed by Bai Mei with the sword finger in his left hand, with a cold and arrogant expression, he said to him awe-inspiringly, "Your cultivation is so low that you would think that an ordinary person could hurt me." Do you think I really can't wash off those black pulp? I just want to see if you still have humanity, I've given you a chance, and now it seems that your life must not be left behind!"
Immediately, she threw away the dagger, and with her left hand, she made a few strokes of the void pen in front of her, and a sparkling word 'water' condensed into a line, turning into a water streak and brushing over Bai Mei's face, and the black liquid was immediately completely washed away.
Tie Zhu was surprised, and hurriedly controlled the other black-faced villagers to attack her, and he himself sacrificed the black pot magic weapon and fled towards the door quickly.
Luo Qianhe looked at the back of Tie Zhu fleeing with contempt, and threw the fairy sword in his hand casually, and immediately turned into a blue light and flew away, passing directly through his chest. As the iron pillar let out a miserable scream, it fell directly from mid-air, and the black-faced villagers who were attacking were also frozen in place and did not move.
She walked over to the iron pillar that was slumped to the ground, and asked lightly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Tie Zhu's mouth was spitting blood, his face was defeated, and he couldn't plead, "Please don't tell my father and the villagers about this, I don't want them to know that the pride in their hearts has become like this." ”
shouted again, "Also, the villain finally died from talking too much!"
Then, those villagers lost their minds and fell, only Bai Mei slowly walked in front of Luo Qianhe, and asked in a trembling voice, "Luo, Luoshi...... Can I still call you Senior Sister?"
Luo Qianhe smiled slightly, warm like morning light in Bai Mei's heart, and said, "Of course you can, haven't you shouted a few times just now?"
Hearing this, Bai Mei immediately cried and pounced, the twelve-year-old was not tall, and he just buried his head in Luo Qianhe's chest.
Sobbed, "Senior sister, it's me who is wrong, you have done so much, why don't you speak out and let us know? Why do you have to bear so many grievances yourself?"
Luo Qianhe gently comforted him and said gently, "It's okay, other people's eyes don't matter, as long as you have a clear conscience and try your best to help others, one day, those who misunderstand you will know, and all misunderstandings will be eliminated." ”
Bai Mei let go of her, nodded again, and asked, "Senior sister, then what should we do next?"
