Chapter 53: Sacrifice to the Spirit

I don't know if I had a delusion or what, when Xiao Li came over, I saw a bloody light in my little brother's eyes.

This light is fleeting, but it makes my heart flutter.

Xiao Li was holding a palm-sized black gossip box in his hand, and when he came over, he greeted his little brother affectionately, "Brother, why are you here too?" We're all going back soon. ”

She actually ...... did not distinguish the little brother from Xiao Yige.

"You opened this ghost city enchantment?" The little brother asked coldly, very displeased.

Xiao Li was stunned and said, "I thought that Xiao Qi was bored in the garden, so I took her out for a walk, and turned to the ghost market without paying attention." It's Qingming season again, and the ghost market is also lively, so ......"

"Is that so?" The little brother's eyes became more and more gloomy.

"Yes, yes! I really opened the enchantment by accident, and then I thought to myself, brother, haven't you always wanted to buy cinnabar? I bought some for you by the way. ”

Xiao Li said and opened the gossip box in her hand, but what kind of cinnabar was in it, it was clearly a box of red and bright blood, and it was still swaying slightly.

But this blood does not stink, but exudes a faint scent of sandalwood, which is not ......

I was stunned for a moment, remembering the little bit of spiritual blood that I snatched from Shen Yuexi with the Soul Separation Arrow when Chen Shen and Shen Yuexi were gathering yin arrays in the Yin and Yang Realm to harm me.

It's a box full of that blood.

The blood of the heart, whether it is a human or a ghost, there are only a few drops of spiritual blood in the heart. How many people and ghosts would have to work together to make such a big box?

What did Xiao Li do with this spiritual blood?

When the little brother saw this box of spiritual blood, his face was instantly as sharp as frost, this expression had never been seen even when dealing with Old Man Du and Yitian, it was very terrifying.

He glared at Xiao Li angrily, and a wild yin aura emanated from him, making me shiver uncontrollably in fright.

I tugged at the corner of his shirt suspiciously, "Little brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't buy any more of these things in the future!" The little brother's face softened, and he took my hand and said to Xiao Li: "You go back first, I'll take Qi'er around!" ”

“…… Be! ”

When Xiao Li walked away, he glanced at me with the rest of his eyes, and seemed to hate me very much. I don't know where I offended her, and her hatred for me is especially inexplicable.

As the night progresses, the people on the side streets slowly disperse, and the small shops on both sides of the street are closed, and the whole street begins to slowly become deserted.

Seeing that I couldn't walk, the little brother directly hugged me horizontally, and I leaned on his chest so comfortably, feeling very comfortable.

When I was a child, he was as tall as me, but now he is more than a star and a half stronger than me, and I nestled on his chest like a little milk cat, very inconspicuous.

I don't know if he was angry, but he didn't say a word along the way, just with a straight face.

I stared at the beautiful curvature of his jaw and couldn't help pinching, "Little brother, why don't you speak?" Is there something on your mind? ”

He glanced down at me and smiled far-fetchedly, "Silence is better than sound at this time, I like to carry you like this!" ”

"Are you tired?"

"Don't be tired, you are like a little bean sprout, I won't be tired for the rest of my life." He paused, then added, "Besides, ghosts don't know how to be tired." ”

“……”

Maybe I'm thinking too much, I always feel that my little brother's sentence "ghosts don't know how to be tired" is a little hopeless. In this world, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't want flesh and blood.

I'd love to ask about the "Soul Rune" again, but I just thought about the little brother's fierce reaction before. I'll wait until I find a way to get together the three runes and two clusters of soul fire.

When I walked to Yi Yuan, it was already midnight, and the inside and outside of the house were as quiet as a cemetery.

The little brother stood at the gate with me in his arms for a while, but put me down, hugged me and said, "Qi'er, it's not early, go back to the house and rest." ”

"Won't you come in with me? It's still a few hours until dawn. "I took the corner of my little brother's clothes and was reluctant to let him go.

He looked up at the door again, and lowered his eyes lonely, "I still have something to deal with, so I won't accompany you today." ”

"Alright then, come and see me if you're fine, I miss you!"

"Hmm!"

The little brother saw me leave at the corner of the corridor, and I walked to the third courtyard alone in a daze, and when I arrived at the arch of the second courtyard, I saw Xiao Li holding the gossip box and going to the Star Picking Tower.

It is a magnificent three-storey terrace in Yat Garden, which is built with a huge stone pillar as the center of the circle. It is said that it is the place where Xiao Yige practices magic on weekdays, and no one in the garden is allowed to approach without permission.

I saw Xiao Li's sneaky actions, so I secretly followed.

The stone pillar of the Star Picking Tower is full of moire coiled dragons, and the top end of the stone pillar is tied by four dark iron chains, connecting the four corners of the building. Directly north of the stone pillar is a Bagua Roulette Wheel, which looks like a large mechanism.

I heard that in order for this gossip wheel to kick in, it must be sacrificed with blood. I don't know what it will do after it starts.

I followed Xiao Li to secretly go up to the Star Picking Tower and hide behind the stone steps.

She stared at the stone pillar for a long time, and then walked to the gossip wheel. In the center of the wheel are five sharp awls, which are surrounded by criss-crossing grooves of the Bagua diagram.

Could it be that Xiao Li wants to sacrifice blood to the gossip roulette? What the hell is she going to do?

I saw Xiao Li stretch out his right hand and press down on the sharp awl with five fingers. The blood from her fingertips slowly trickled down the tip of the awl and filled in the grooves of the gossip map.

At the same time, a "gurgling" sound came from the gossip wheel, and I saw the wheel begin to spin slowly. It was slow at first, but when the blood soaked into the grooves of the general Bagua map, the speed was a little faster.

Xiao Li stood motionless in front of the gossip roulette, his arms slowly twisting because of the rotation of the wheel. I felt that if she didn't stop, that hand would be broken.

And yet she was unmoved!

The huge stone pillar slowly spread a blood mist, which was faint at first, but became thicker and thicker as the roulette wheel rotated, and finally the top of the stone pillar began to bleed down, like spring water, and dyed the dragon stone carvings red.

A biting wind slowly blew in all directions, and the scenery slowly distorted. I felt as if I heard a terrible cry, but I didn't know where it came from.

I don't know what kind of spell Xiao Li is, I've never seen it.

"Sister save me, sister!"

I was stunned when I suddenly heard Wenwen's voice, which seemed to come from a stone pillar.

So I didn't care about what Xiao Li was doing, so I flew up and rushed up, "Wenwen, Wenwen!" ”

"Luo Xiaoqi, you ...... Burst! ”

I don't know if I startled Xiao Li, her eyebrows sank suddenly, and she spit out a mouthful of blood, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Immediately, the gossip roulette wheel stopped turning, the bleeding on the stone pillar stopped, and even the yin wind around it slowly dispersed.

Xiao Li withdrew his hand and slowly turned his head, his face was so cold that he could drip blood. Her right hand was trembling violently, and her five fingers were full of bloody holes, dripping with blood.

"Luo Xiaoqi, who let you break through? Who told you to come? ”

She hated so much, and her eyes were full of murder.

I startled her and said, "I heard Wenwen's voice, she seems to be in this stone pillar." ”

"Sister, sister save me!"

At this moment, Wenwen's shout came from the stone pillar again. I couldn't care about Xiao Li anymore, and hurriedly ran to the stone pillar, "Wenwen, where are you, where are you?" ”

"Sister, I'm tied to this stone, sister, save me!"

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you!"

I could hear the sound coming from inside the stone pillar, and I guess the person had been put in from the floor below, so I ran downstairs again.

Xiao Li flew over and blocked in front of me, and said angrily: "Luo Xiaoqi, you dare to save her!" ”

My face sank, and I was a little angry, "What, aren't you trying to hurt a three- or four-year-old girl?" ”

"If you hadn't made a move, she would have died a long time ago, and she would have been worthy of her after living for so many days."

"What are you going to do with her life?"

"Sacrifice the spirit to borrow life!"

Sacrifice to the spirit?

It dawned on me that this was actually the spirit sacrifice technique among the ten forbidden techniques of the Six Realms.

This spell is to use the blood of the heart of a hundred ghosts and the essence blood of a virgin to cast a spell, and lend the life of this virgin to others to continue the lives of others.

But this is not the same as the trading life of the ghost market, which is the life of a mortal. And the sacrifice of the spirit is to continue some orders against the sky, such as me.

So who is Xiao Li borrowing his life from?
