Chapter 5: Two Grandmothers
"Master, what the hell is this······ Was everything before an illusion? Xu Xuyang couldn't believe it, everything before was too real, and there was no serious injury when he touched his left shoulder, but the pain from his left shoulder made him clearly realize that there was a serious injury here.
In the year he ran away from home, most of the time he followed Qiyun to learn soul arts, dispel resentful spirits, and was dragged into the illusion by resentful spirits and almost overturned, which Xu Xuyang also encountered for the first time.
"Do you really think that spirit is just a wraith?" Qiyun took Xu Xuyang to the back of the plum blossom tree, where Xu Xuyang saw the girl who had taken him to the back mountain in the first place, slumped to the ground with a hideous look and a mouth the size of a fist, as if she was roaring in pain.
"Now you use your spirit pupils to give me a good look at her true appearance!" Qiyun pushed Xu Xuyang over and touched his left shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Xuyang clearly felt that the pain in his left shoulder had been reduced a lot.
In the evening, the yin qi is strong, and there is no need to use soul magic to see the soul clearly, so Xu Xuyang usually rarely uses the spirit pupil at this time.
"Well, what is this?"
The scene in front of him really scared Xu Xuyang, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The moment he opened the spirit pupil, he saw the girl's true posture, the girl's light blue looked like an ordinary resentful spirit, but there was a black line on her head, looking up along the thin black line, it was actually a 'demon' entrenched in the plum tree, the 'evil ghost' was completely black and smoke-dressed, its face was hideous, its eyes were hollow like a giant zombie in a post-apocalyptic movie, and it kept looking at you, like staring at food.
"Do you remember when I told you about how many souls there are?" Qi Yun asked.
Xu Xuyang didn't expect the master to ask such a question at this time, "There are white spirits, resentful spirits, fierce spirits, and evil spirits, and white spirits are the most ordinary harmless souls that can be dispelled directly with soul ascension techniques; If the white spirit has resentment, it will be transformed into a resentful spirit, which will have a peculiar smell and a blue color, and it needs to be dispelled after completing his wish to reduce the resentment; Resentful spirits absorb the resentment of the world and deepen their obsession and deteriorate into evil spirits, which have a peculiar smell and are often black smoke-like, which must be eliminated directly; And Master Fierce Spirit, you only said at the time that this was a more special existence, between resentful spirits and evil spirits. ”
"And do you still think she's a wraith?" Qi Yun took out a piece of rune paper from his body and handed it to Xu Xuyang.
Xu Xuyang took the rune paper and saw the word 'extinguished' written on the spirit rune, "I was careless, I didn't expect her to be an evil spirit, this is the first time I have encountered a resentful spirit." ”
"If there is a first time, there will be a second time, and you should know what to do next."
"Yes! Master! Xu Xuyang pasted the destruction charm to the plum blossom tree, and clasped his hands together, "Extinguish!" ”
The word extinguishing crawled out of the spirit rune, like ants all over the plum tree, the evil spirit's body ignited a dark red flame, the evil spirit also sensed, wanted to extinguish the flame, but did not expect the flame to burn more and more because of its touch, gradually covering it.
"Ah!!h The evil spirit roared, but that didn't stop the flames from burning, eventually burning to ashes along with the plum tree.
"I'll go-" Xu Xuyang lay down on the ground, "Master, why didn't you say it earlier!" The consumption of this Destruction Talisman is too great, and its consumption is ten times that of the Soul Ascension Technique! ”
Qi Yun leaned over and picked up Xu Xuyang.
"Hey! Master, what are you doing! Put me down······"
With a knife in one hand, Xu Xuyang was quiet, looking at the stupid apprentice who was unconscious, Qi Yun sighed, "For the sake of your first time to destroy the evil spirit, I will let you rest for one night, and then settle the account tomorrow!" So many low-level mistakes were made. ”
"Really, it's so hard to deal with such an evil spirit that is less than the second level, if the people in the Evil Master Realm know that I am your master, it will be really embarrassing."
After speaking, he looked at the back mountain, there was a huge banyan tree burning in the depths of the forest in the back mountain, the strange thing was that the flame only burned the banyan tree and did not ignite the other trees, the leaves shook as if struggling, but it was to no avail, and finally it was burned to ashes, and the mountain forest was on fire, and for some reason no one noticed.
······
My name is Mazi, I am an orphan, I grew up in an orphanage, I was named Mazi because of my pockmarked face, and it was also because of this pockmarked face, I was disliked as a girl, and no one wanted to adopt me.
The orphanage I was in was just a small courtyard in a remote area, and it didn't have enough donations, so it eventually closed down, and I was once again homeless, and in order to survive I had to learn from the beggars in their tattered clothes and start begging on the streets, when I was 12 years old.
I can't earn other beggars, and I've been living without a meal for three years, and I can only get a dozen yuan a day, most of which I have to pay as protection money.
At this time, the boss of our circle came to me, gave me a bun, and asked me if I wanted to ask for more money every day with him, and I agreed without hesitation.
He took me to an old factory and wanted to chop off my legs to make me disabled to beg for more money, and I was scared, really scared, his knife cut a deep blood mark on my leg, and I burst out with psionic energy to bounce him away.
I'm a psyker! I can finally live well!
But I was still too innocent, the beggar boss found out my value and brought a bunch of people to arrest me, I didn't know how to use the psionic energy yet, my body was too weak, and I was quickly caught by them and sold to the killer organization.
It's so cold in here, I don't like to be here, but I can't escape, and I was stupefied to see the kids who ran away and were being dealt with.
In the next training, I killed a lot of people, including my teammates, friends, and strangers, in order to survive.
I want to live, but why should I live? I do not know.
"How about I give you a way, how about playing my wife by my side?" The person who changed my life appeared, and he was Xu Tao, the head of the Xu family of the psionic family.
He came to me because I was very similar to his dead wife, who died mysteriously, and in order to find out the murderer, he concealed the news of his wife's death, so I had plastic surgery to stay by his wife's side.
There was a small mistake in the facelift, the mole was under my right eye, but his wife's tear mole was under the left eye, this small mistake was actually easy to solve, but what happened next left me no time to fix it.
I was soon targeted by Xu Tao's wife's enemy, and in order to save my life, I could only hide in the house and dare not go out, explaining to the public that I was seriously ill.
Xu Tao's seven-year-old child Xu Yang came to see me several times, but Xu Tao didn't tell him the truth, maybe there was no blood relationship, Xu Yang didn't get close to me, and he stayed for a few minutes at a time and left.
I lived the life of a rich wife in the house, and gradually I became greedy, and I wanted to know Xu Tao better, so I secretly followed him to the secret room while he was not paying attention.
If I had another chance, I would never have done it.
In the secret room I saw a woman who looked like me being poisoned, and because she couldn't stand the torture, she took advantage of the fact that others were not looking, and took the knife and killed herself.
She died in a horrible manner, with one hand in her mouth trying to pull out the poison, and the other hand holding a knife through her chest.
Listening to their conversation, I probably guessed the identity of that person, it was his 'deceased' wife Lu Lin that Xu Tao told me, in fact, he was just taking refuge in the secret room and asked me to be a shield outside!
And the reason why Xu Tao treated his wife like this seems to be that she accidentally learned one of his secrets.
I was scared, I saw the truth about Lu Lin's death I was so afraid that Xu Tao would dispose of me, I went back to my room with the concealment method I learned when I was a killer, but in the face of Xu Tao, the head of the psionic family, my psionic energy couldn't fool him at all.
I was discovered when I first entered the secret room.
I was caught by Xu Tao, he sealed my spiritual energy and beat me in the most brutal way, I wanted to live, so I saw the right time to play dead.
I succeeded, but Xu Tao didn't just let me go, he threw me and Lu Lin's corpses from a height of several hundred meters and threw them into the back mountain where he had domesticated the beast.
I woke up again to find that it was pitch black all around me, I couldn't see anything, my body was bound and couldn't move, it was cold and damp here, and I couldn't stand this environment after a rich wife's life, but the psionic energy was sealed, and I couldn't escape.
I was so hungry, I opened my mouth wide, I cut the wood off with my front teeth, chewed and swallowed hard, and after a long, long time, I probably knew what I was in, it was the trunk of a banyan tree, and I was stuck in the hollow trunk of the banyan tree.
It's so dark here, I'm so scared, I want to go out, I want to live.
In order to let others find me, I tried my best to tap the inner wall with the only movable left foot to let people outside find me, but I didn't know that this banyan tree was in the back mountain of Xu's house, and Xu Tao closed the back mountain after dealing with me and Lu Lin.
I was so uncomfortable that in order to survive, I had to scrape the inner wall of the trunk with my teeth every day, scrape a little bit of wood and chew and swallow it to relieve my hunger.
It was raining, I was afraid of drowning and had to drink rain water constantly, my stomach was swollen and I was squeezed by the tree trunk, I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't.
It seemed like a long, long time later, and I seemed to be able to move a little bit in it, I don't know if it was because I had cut off a layer of wood or because I was hungry and thin.
This gave me hope, I scraped the trunk with my fingers desperately, I don't know how long, I finally dug out a ray of light, I was so happy, really happy, I was going to be out in no time!
Finally, I fell asleep physically and mentally exhausted, I was really tired and slept for a long, long time······ I'm starving······
I hate it! Why? I just want to live! Why is this happening!
Ha, hahahahaha······ Why am I so tired that no one has ever been able to understand me? I'm so pitiful, why doesn't God let me go! Hahaha, I'm really scared and miserable here! Come and have someone with me! Hahahahaha······
My soul is bound to the banyan tree and cannot be freed, and the banyan tree is beginning to decay because of the hollowness of the trunk, and I am one with it! Why do I have to face death when I die once!
I found Lu Lin's body and her resentful spirit nearby, I devoured Lu Lin's resentment, used her body as the nourishment of the banyan tree, controlled her soul to come to the backyard of the Xu family and establish contact with one of the plum trees, and let Lu Lin's soul bring people in and let them feel the same pain in my body as I did!

I want to live, but I'm so tired, why do I want to live? Maybe it's just because I'm afraid of death.
