After thinking about it for a while, I plan to let go of the old witch first, one is because of Joyce's words, and the other is that I can't let Su Mengke be an ungrateful person, sometimes thinking about it, life itself may be a contradiction.

Then I let go of the old witch, stared at her with a pair of eyes, and reached out to probe her breath.

When Joyce saw that I let go of the old witch, she breathed a sigh of relief and ran to me, and I don't know if she felt anything, or what was the matter, she ran up to me, and without saying a word, she hugged me.

After about a few seconds of hugging, the rain dripped on us, making us wet all over our bodies, and Joyce sobbed and said, "Ninth Master, thank you, thank you." ”

I didn't understand what she meant, so I asked her what was wrong, and she said, "If you strangle her, I... I'm guilty. ”

I still didn't understand what she meant, and wondered, "What does it have to do with you?" ”

She wiped the rain from my face, smiled slightly, and didn't speak. It wasn't until much later, when I asked her about today, that she told me that if I strangled the old witch to death, I would be severely punished by the law, and she would become a sinner, because the old witch was her aunt who was related by blood, and she couldn't do anything about killing her relatives.

As we spoke, the rain in the sky became heavier and heavier, and the thunder became louder and louder, and I wondered that the old witch and Qing Xuanzi had been in the void period, even like the group of swallows, which made me unable to suppress the doubts in my heart any longer, so I asked Joyce what was the situation.

She thought for a while, her face changed, and she turned white for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Impossible, impossible." ”

As she spoke, she walked over to the old witch, stretched out her hand and rolled the old witch's eyelids, and then walked towards Qing Xuanzi, rolled his eyelids, and exclaimed, "The earthquake is thunder." ”

I was stunned, shocked into thunder? What is it? So he asked her, "What is the thunder?" ”

Her voice trembled a little, and explained: "Sixty-two yao (yao) down, no trace and no trace, far and near are difficult to find, the dry sea is not a boat, the work is empty, the ninety-fourth yao is in the middle, the white jade is hidden in the dust, the gold is buried in the soil, the glory is long, and people should be lifted, on the sixth and middle lines, the drizzle is wet, the riverside road is not passable, the road is not reached, relying on the east wind, on the nine lines, the sad face is smiling, the spire listens to the swallow song, a mountain and moon flute, thousands of miles of dark ecstasy. ”

After speaking, she stared at the swallow beside Qing Xuanzi with a pair of eyes, and began to count, "One, two, three...... Twenty-nine. ”

After counting the swallows, her face was very ugly, I had never seen her face so ugly since I met her, I asked softly: "Is there something wrong with those swallows?" ”

She didn't speak, but began to look at the head of the old witch's side, and then looked at the heart not far away, her feet were weak, she sat down, and kept muttering a sentence in her mouth, "Impossible, impossible, she can't be the 'earthquake of my Qiao family'." ”

At this time, I was even more puzzled, squatted down in front of her, and asked her, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"She... She... She's a genius, a real genius. She pointed to the old witch, "I finally understand why Grandma thinks so highly of her." ”

"Why?" I asked.

She took a few deep breaths, brushed the hair in front of her forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "This is my Qiao family's 'earthquake for thunder' formation, with the thunder to attract the aura of heaven and earth, converge in your own body, and then cooperate with the three escapes of heaven, earth and man, you can obtain the body of immortality, from the Warring States period to the present, this kind of formation is only one person, and that person is called the Gu God in our Ten Thousand Towers." ”

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't cry or laugh, when was it, Joyce was still in the mood to joke with me, if nothing else, just said that there was a person in her ancestor who would 'shake into thunder' formation, so is he still alive now? It's simply impossible.

As if she knew that I didn't believe it, Joyce explained: "Ninth Master, there has always been a legend of immortality in my Ten Thousand Towers, and this legend may not be believed in the outside world, but everyone in the Ten Thousand Towers believes in it, we believe that people can live forever, the reason is that in the 'earthquake to thunder' formation, you look at the head next to the old witch, those three heads represent the three escapes of heaven, earth and man, if you guess correctly, there are three silver needles at the temple position of the three heads, in order to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, you look at the heart, it is the whole." The eye of the "earthquake is thunder" formation, used to over-aura, and finally there are twenty-nine swallows, twenty-nine take the meaning of ninety-nine, that is, on the nine, this is auspicious, and the white point is that she is sacrificing to the sky and seeking immortality to the sky. ”

Listening to her words, I felt that my brain was very messy, it was not enough at all, I always thought that the so-called immortality should converge the heavens, the earth and the people, where do I know, Joyce pulled out the 'earthquake for thunder' formation, and more importantly, this so-called 'earthquake for thunder' formation is unique to the Qiao family, which makes me even more confused, Wanta has been circulating a sentence, the Qiao family has a lot of Gu, the Su family has a lot of money, why is there a formation again, besides, the general formation is from the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism, how can it be pulled to the head of the Qiao family?

At that moment, I was about to ask, but Joyce stood up, she first walked up to the old witch, looked at her face, and muttered a Miao language that I did not understand, but her next action made me roughly understand what she was going to do.

She took a deep breath, said a few words silently, and pressed one hand on the head of the old witch to the left. Soon, I saw a worm crawling out of Joyce's arm, the worm I knew, the money string I had pulled out when I first met her.

The string of money crawled down her arm towards the person's head.

Seeing this, I stopped her, "What are you going to do?" Don't insult the head of the dead. ”

She glanced back at me, and didn't speak, but reached out her other hand, groped around the temples of the skull, and pulled something out of it.

In an instant, a stream of black liquid flowed from that position, she frowned, and said a few more words in her mouth, and the money string crawled towards that position.

Then, as she had just done, she took out the silver needles of the three heads and left them in that place with three money strings.

Having done all this, she walked up to me with a frown, and said, "Let's go down first, the old witch is going to wake up." ”

I was stunned for a moment, so I asked her, "What about that formation?" What should Qing Xuanzi do? ”

She smiled bitterly and said: "Once the 'earthquake is thunder' is deployed, the formation cannot be moved, and once it moves, it will cause disaster, we can only obey the will of heaven and pray that he will be safe." ”

"And what did you just do?" I asked her.

"I heard my grandmother say, 'Earthquake is thunder' The purpose is to collect aura, those three heads are containers for collecting aura, I use money strings to block aura from entering the head, which is to prevent the old witch from sacrificing to the sky, however, there is little hope of success, as for Qing Xuanzi, he can't move his body now, otherwise it will attract thunder." She explained to me and pulled me towards the skylight.

I was stunned for a moment, broke free from her arm, and said, "You go down first, I want to watch Qing Xuanzi, and I can't let him have an accident." ”

She frowned, didn't speak, and walked straight in the direction of the skylight.

After she left, I saw some blood stains on the place where she was standing just now, and I was stunned for a moment, could it be that Joyce was injured?

Thinking of this, I shouted, "Miss Qiao, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine!" Her voice was a little hurried.

Hearing this, I didn't think much about it, so I squatted down in front of Qing Xuanzi. Frankly, if it weren't for Qing Xuanzi here, I might have returned to the tent and started to prepare for Su Mengke's funeral, as for whether the old witch is immortal or not, it has nothing to do with me.

The rain, which fell heavier and heavier, the thunder, became louder and louder, and the whole sky gave a dull and dreary feeling.

I didn't know how long I squatted in front of Qing Xuanzi, maybe a minute, maybe an hour, the rain stopped, and the thunder stopped. I was happy in my heart, looking at this sky, the so-called 'earthquake to thunder' formation was about to stop.

At that moment, I shouted tentatively, Qing Xuanzi.

"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into." A cold voice came from behind me. When I turned my head, I don't know when, the old witch had woken up, her eyes staring at me deadly, dragging a swallow in her left hand and a human head in her right hand.

"Chen Jiu, the deity has let you go, but I didn't expect you to come." She sneered and kissed the swallow on the forehead.

When I saw her expression, I didn't know which nerve was pumping, so I asked her, "Have you ever gained the body of an old age?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect my tone to be so respectful, so she said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Didn't you always put down such a big array to gain immortality? Now that the formation is in place, so many people have been killed, and the three escapes of heaven, earth and man have also gathered, you must be immortal now, right? I sneered and sarcastically.

"Hahaha, count you kid with vision!" She laughed, her smile was extraordinarily bright, and her face was squeezed together.

I don't know why, seeing her smile, my heart is very bitter, if a person is deeply immersed in some kind of legend, it is actually quite sad, take the old witch as an example, she believes that there is immortality in the world, and she committed many heinous sins for this, and in the end she really gained immortality? I don't think so, from her whole body, I don't see the slightest immortality, on the contrary, from the folds on her face, I feel that she is older, like an old lady of sixty or seventy.

"Chen Jiu, seeing that you are so discerning, the deity has decided to pass on the secret of your immortality." She seemed to be in a good mood, and after tinkering with her body, she took out the sheepskin and raised it, and said, "Master Sheng, this secret to immortality is yours." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, this old witch was a little wrong, according to her previous temperament, she should have been furious at this time, and then beat me, and then let the swallows attack me, but now she threatens to pass on the secret of my immortality, and accept me as an apprentice, she has no problem with her brain, right?

Seeing that I didn't speak, she raised the sheepskin in her hand again, and said: "Su Su, my mother has obtained the body of immortality, hahaha, I can finally live with heaven and earth, hahaha, as long as heaven and earth exist, the deity can live forever in the world, hahaha." ”

Laughing, laughing, she suddenly cried, knelt down, and kowtowed desperately, "Mother, Mother, it's all my fault, it's my fault, please don't kill me, don't kill me, I shouldn't use Gu to charm you when you're not paying attention, I shouldn't put your body in the heart of the tree, Mother, don't kill me, don't, don't!" ”

As she spoke, she kowtowed desperately, and the blood on her forehead was left, and I didn't see her stop, and a thought flashed through my mind, isn't this old witch crazy?

At this moment, the old witch didn't know if she was stimulated by something, she stood up suddenly, tore off the two feathers on her head, and threw the head of the person in her hand to the ground, holding her heart with one hand and pointing to the sky with the other, and roared angrily: "Ye Shaoyang, the deity swears by his life, and curses you not to die well for generations." ”

As soon as I heard this name, I was stunned for a moment, Ye Shaoyang? Who? Is she good-looking? No, Granny Qiao's suicide note said that her old friend is Su Daxing, who is this Ye Shaoyang?

"Hahaha! Hahaha! The deity is immortal. Like a madman, she roared at the top of the tower, laughing at times, crying with her head in her arms, and talking to herself.

Seeing this scene, I don't know what to say, I have fantasized about many kinds of endings, but I haven't thought about this kind of ending, and I didn't expect it, but the fact is that there is such a scene, I don't know what words to use to describe the feeling in my heart, I know that there is an idiom in the world called, the world makes people. Perhaps, this is the so-called world things to make people!

The old witch was so obsessed with immortality that she even did not hesitate to kill her own daughter's life, just to live with heaven and earth. However, some legends are always just legends, it will not appear in the real world, and it cannot exist in the real world, and excessive belief in legends can only harm others and oneself in the end, just like the Fa Gong that made a lot of noise in the millennium, how many families have been ruined and killed, and how many people believe in the so-called ascension to immortals, immortality, and set fire to self-immolation, creating that tragic event.

I don't know why the old witch is crazy, and I don't know why she is crazy for no reason, but I know that between heaven and earth, righteousness lasts forever, and those who cause trouble to others are not not repaid, but the time has not come.

Frankly, I thought the story ended with the old witch going crazy, but I never expected that her madness was just the beginning, and the next scene that happened made me still haunted and even admonished.

I saw that the old witch looked like crazy, holding a human head in one hand, hitting each other, like a bang, and laughing strangely all the time, "Let you ants stop the deity from seeking immortality, and the deity will let the souls of you ants fly away today." ”

At this moment, the sky, which was originally quite quiet, suddenly thundered and rumbled, and this sound did not last long, and I saw a thunderbolt falling from the sky, and it slashed at the old witch in a daze.

In an instant, the old witch turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then her hair burned, and to my doubt, the old witch did not scream, but glanced at me, and in her eyes I saw a trace of remorse, a trace of tenderness.

I was shocked by the scene in front of me, my scalp tingled for a while, and I involuntarily took a few steps back. I kept praying that the old witch was struck by the drought thunder, but I didn't expect that she was really struck by the drought thunder.

With the thunder of the dry day, the swallows seemed to be frightened, and began to move, to my surprise, they did not fly away, but crashed in the direction of the old witch, and in less than a few seconds, the old witch was hit by them to the edge of the spire, and was about to fall, I don't know if the will of heaven or what, the old witch happened to step on the head in a panic, and the whole body fell towards the tower, and the swallows followed closely.

ps: The chapters of these two days are the word count of two chapters, and I will start writing Su Mengke's wind burial tomorrow.
