Chapter Seventy-Four: Millipedes
I instinctively retracted my hand and looked at the old woman, today is the Midyear Festival, there is a thin yin qi wafting everywhere, plus the smell of incense and candles wafting in at the door, I can't see anything for a while.
He just took a step back vigilantly and distanced himself from the old woman.
The old woman looked at the tired Mingyue on the side again: "This girl is tired, right?" Why don't I take her in and rest first. ”
"I'd better go with her." After I finished speaking, I looked at Long Xuanling, I originally wanted to call Long Xuanling together.
But Long Xuanling said, his body was a little cold, and he wanted to come over after drinking hot tea, I looked at him, and suddenly felt that he was a little strange, and he didn't speak since he entered the door, and his eyes were turned to this old woman from time to time.
I thought quietly for a while, thinking that Long Xuanling must have noticed something, since he didn't say anything, then I shouldn't know what to do.
Stretching out his hand to help Mingyue up, he followed the old woman towards the room behind the counter.
The old woman opened the door at the back of the room, and I saw that there was only a small bed, which must have been slept by the shopkeepers in the past.
"The two of you are small, don't mind." After the old woman finished speaking, she turned around and went out, and did nothing to us.
Am I being too careful? I was just thinking about it when suddenly there was a "bang" sound outside the door as tables and chairs were overturned to the ground.
And Mingyue also fell to one side violently, and fell directly to the small bed behind her.
"Mingyue?" I screamed in surprise, but when I took a step closer to Mingyue, I also felt a wave of dizziness in my head.
Tea? I think there must be something wrong with the tea, is this a black shop?
With that in mind, I reached out again, trying to push the door open.
But this door is as solid as a rock, no matter how I slap it, it will not move at all, and from the crack of this door there is a black breath.
"Damn, it's that demon!" I thought about squeezing my palms hard.
Because there was still blood left over from the previous blood collection on the palm of my hand that had not healed, and now when I pinched it like this, the pain immediately made me sober up.
I raised my hand to my waist, pulled out the demon whip, and decisively slammed it towards the wooden door, which made a crisp "click" sound, and was directly torn apart.
And as the black gas covering the wooden door dispersed, I saw a huge millipede appear in the teahouse outside!
When I lived in my grandmother's house, I saw this kind of insect in the field, it looked very much like a centipede, but it was not a centipede, it lived in the soil, it was day and night, and it was named millipede because it had a row of feet.
But the millipede in front of me is as thick as an adult, like a giant python that tightly clamps Long Xuanling in its body.
At this moment, it opened its jaw, ready to bite towards Long Xuanling.
This demon has finally appeared as a prototype, and Mr. Zhou said that it has an earthy smell, which seems to be quite accurate.
I thought of this and raised a hand and touched it into the sleeve, originally, I hid the obsidian powder given by Mr. Zhou in the sleeve, but now when I touch it, it is gone?
In a panic, he could only attack the millipede with the demon whip.
And although the millipede was extremely large, its movements were not slow at all, and the speed of dodging was extremely fast.
However, under my continuous attacks, I still had a few lashes on its body, and something like black water flowed from the wound.
"Madam, attack his head!" Long Xuanling was encircled by a millipede, as if he couldn't move.
I stepped on the wooden table next to me, and directly rose to my feet, and the demon whip in my hand struck the millipede's head fiercely.
One of its tentacles was cut off by me, and at this moment, Long Xuanling twisted his body vigorously, pulled out of the millipede's round body, and, stepping on the back of the millipede, ran towards its head.
When Long Xuanling raised his hand, I realized that the porcelain vase given by Mr. Zhou was in his hand, and before, he must have wanted to deal with this millipede by himself.
Long Xuanling sprinkled the obsidian powder in the porcelain vase into the wound on the millipede's head, and after the millipede let out a "hiss" scream, the huge body instantly softened and collapsed directly to the ground.
Its flesh turned into a puddle of black water almost instantly, covering the entire teahouse floor.
My eyes scanned through the black water, looking for this demonic Nedan, and finally found that the Nedan of this thing was actually black.
"Will this still work?" I picked up Neidan and showed it to Long Xuanling.
"The evil spirit is too heavy, and it will take time to get rid of it." Long Xuanling said, walked to the table, took out a piece of rune paper from the baggage, and wrapped this inner dan.
"By the way, Mingyue is in a coma, and I don't know if I will worry about my life." As I spoke, I ran briskly towards the room behind the counter.
Mingyue was still lying quietly, but it seemed that she was just asleep, and her breathing was still very steady.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but Long Xuanling's eyes suddenly sank, and he turned his head sideways to look under the bed, and then reached out and pulled out an old woman from under the bed.
This old woman is exactly the same as the mother-in-law who was conjured up by the demon before, and she must be the owner of this teahouse.
Long Xuanling glanced at her, then shook his head at me, and said that this old woman should have been sucked up by the millipede and was already dead.
"You can't stay any longer, let's go." After Long Xuanling finished speaking, he raised his hand and flicked it towards Mingyue's face, and Mingyue slowly opened her eyes.
"Miss Luo, I, I, why did I fall asleep?" As she spoke, squinting and struggling to get up, I quickly lifted her up.
She shouted that her head hurt, but Long Xuanling had already taken the burden and was ready to continue on her way.
I held Mingyue in one hand, hid the porcelain vase that Long Xuanling had returned to me with the other, and walked quickly towards the door.
Mingyue looked at the black water in the place, her face was stunned, and she didn't know what had just happened.
"Dragons?" Mingyue paused: "Mr. Xuan, can't we take a break?" ”
Mingyue pressed her temples, her expression a little painful.
"Such a big teahouse, it is impossible for this old woman to take care of it alone, after a while, her relatives came, and saw that the old woman was dead, and the three of us were here again, do you think this matter is still clear?" Long Xuanling asked Mingyue rhetorically.
Mingyue was stunned: "The old woman is dead?" ”
When she got up, she didn't notice the corpse beside her.
Long Xuanling was thoughtful, I didn't expect any of this.
"Madam, you have to put away the porcelain vase, it has already cost most of it to let that demon appear, and it has also cost a little to kill it, this obsidian powder is indeed precious, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a thousand gold." Long Xuanling turned his head sideways and looked at me and admonished.
I nodded again and again, and subconsciously touched my sleeve again.
