Volume 1: Apprentice Onmyoji Chapter 20: The Locust Tree Sheds Blood and Tears
When Brother Mouse left completely, Xu Shiying looked at the yellow, orange and orange thing on the ground, it was a ring, the ring was stained with saliva and tooth marks to make it slightly deformed, he didn't care about the dirty, and was about to pick it up, when a strong cold wind blew outside the door, which made the door creak.
Even if he stayed in the house, he could feel the biting chill, Xu Shiying was facing the gap in the door, the cold wind blew on his body and shivered with cold, he put his collar up to resist the cold wind, and found that it didn't have much effect, Feng was even colder than he imagined.
It was so cold that it was so cold in your bones that it made you feel cold when you covered it with a quilt, Xu Shiying stepped back, not facing the crack in the door, and felt much better in an instant.
Feng did not show signs of stopping, but became more and more intense, he used the wooden door that he couldn't push with all his strength, and there was actually a crack, like a mysterious rune painted, the crack kept extending up and down, and at this time, Feng stopped.
Xu Shiying did not rush forward, this gust of wind came too strangely, first observe for a while, but the mouse brother finished eating a small half of chocolate with a satisfied look on his face, turned his head and glanced at Xu Shiying, it was very humane and squeaked.
Stirring into the nest for a long time, he found a ball that was extremely oriented to the briquette, the bead was full of thorns, and the mouse brother pushed out the ball by digging the soil with his two hind legs, and carefully pushed it to the feet of Xu Shiying, squeaking.
Xu Shiying was very strange when he saw the black bead at his feet, and he didn't understand what Brother Mouse wanted to do, could it be that this black bead had a special use?
Although he couldn't believe that the black beads had a magical effect, Brother Mouse was also kind, Xu Shiying squatted down and picked it up with a smile: "Brother Mouse, thank you!" ”
The mouse squeaked happily while spinning in place, the black beads were in hand, the weight was not light, don't look at it only the size of a thumb, Xu Shiying estimated that it was almost a catty, and he didn't know what material it was made of.
The thorns around the body are very sharp and piercing, and they can penetrate into the skin with a little force, Xu Shiying's eyes lit up, and the door had cracked up and down, maybe it could play a role in the focus point, and smash the door open at once.
Xu Shiying planned to try, find the place with the most cracks on the door, and then use all his strength to throw it, the ball turned into a black shadow, and the cracks made a crackling sound, and it could be seen that the cracks were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when the cracks reached the critical point, they stopped, Xu Shiying stepped forward and stomped hard, and the door instantly shattered into pieces, and the cool breeze came to the face, so cold that it made people's scalps numb.
Although it was cold, he was in a good mood, and finally escaped from this ghost place, Xu Shiying did not forget his promise, went back to the house and got high heels, then picked up the golden ring on the ground, and said to the female corpse: "Please rest assured, I will try my best to give you justice!" ”
After speaking, Xu Shiying walked out of the wooden house without looking back, and there were two old locust trees in front of him, he noticed that the leaves were green when he came in, and now he saw that they were indeed red, and he stepped forward and stretched out his palm to wipe a handful of bark, but saw that the palm was full of blood, and the place where he touched it was actually slowly bleeding blood.
I don't know if it's his delusion, he felt that the locust tree in front of him was shaking, the leaves on the book made a salaring sound, the movement was louder, and a few red leaves fell on the ground, which made Xu Shiying's eyes struggle very much.
The red leaves melt into the soil like ginseng fruit, and the bark of the locust tree is still bleeding, and the blood drips down to stain the soil blood-red, and the air is filled with a layer of blood mist.
The blood mist was inhaled into his lungs by Xu Shiying, and he instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but it was too late, he only felt dizzy in his head, and now he wanted to sleep.
The locust tree spewed out more and more blood mist, and even the small wooden house was shrouded in it, and the ground turned into blood, and the locust tree moved, and the branches kept growing wildly, attacking Xu Shiying, and he narrowly avoided it, but there were too many branches, and he couldn't hide at all.
The branches wrapped around his waist and dragged him in front of the locust tree, the blood on the bark of the tree bleeds faster, and a small blood-colored swamp was piled up around him, gurgling and blistering with blood, and the branches slowly lowered him, trying to use him as fertilizer.
Xu Shiying struggled hard, the branches were torn apart by him, and he stepped on the locust tree to jump out of the blood-colored swamp with all his strength, and the branch that he tore off became the ration in the swamp. The remaining half-branches of the locust tree, like earthworms, can regenerate, albeit slowly.
The injured locust tree was ferocious, and the branches of the whole tree surrounded him, and then swarmed up, and cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Xu Shiying, who had escaped, and the ordinary way to deal with the mature locust tree was not possible.
Gritted his teeth and squeezed out the blood and dripped it on the wooden gun, the wooden gun did not react at all, Xu Shiying then remembered that there are certain requirements for blood, and he needs heart essence blood and eyebrow essence blood, and the heart has no way to make blood for the time being, but the center of the eyebrows can be considered.
The injured locust tree went crazy and didn't give him a chance to breathe, and pounced like an arrow, Xu Shiying dodged again and again, and one foot accidentally fell into the blood-colored swamp pool, the seemingly harmless swamp soil was extremely corrosive, but it was just stained on the edge, and the shoes on the feet were broken.
Xu Shiying hurriedly raised his foot, and a branch suddenly attacked, and he continued to spin around on the ground to dodge, not giving him a chance to resist at all.
Before I knew it, I came to the door of the wooden house, but the branch stopped strangely, twisted and probed for a while, and finally left.
There was no movement, and the locust tree gradually returned to its original state, leaving only the blood-colored swamp pool, and the locust tree no longer bleed, and everything returned to its original appearance.
Xu Shiying lay on the ground panting violently, but fortunately he was saved, there were too many branches of the locust tree and it was too terrifying to hide at all, and he didn't learn any spells.
After returning today, he swore that he would learn spells from the old beggar, and he would never want to do it again if he had no power to fight back.
It seems that the female corpse in the house saved him, Xu Shiying thanked her, a series of supernatural events happened, so that he just wanted to go back quickly, and now he suddenly felt that the death match was a drizzle compared to supernatural events.
Xu Shiying is extremely looking forward to the competition at this moment, as long as he can go back alive, he is willing to help Li Ruoshui win the competition.
Got up and bent down ninety degrees to thank the female corpse again, and just took a step out of the door of the wooden house, the branches of the locust tree that had calmed down boiled again, even more violently than before, and the whole sky was covered with dense branches, and they all brushed towards Xu Shiying.
Xu Shiying's face was pale, and he closed his eyes in resignation, so many branches hit him without leaving dead ends, it was impossible to dodge.
At the moment when he was about to close his eyes, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes and rushed to the branches in the sky, Xu Shiying's eyes widened, wherever the black shadows passed, the branches broke one after another, but the black shadow became bigger and bigger.
Getting closer, Xu Shiying noticed that the black shadow was the greedy mouse in the wooden house, and saw that it used its sharp teeth to bite off the branches one by one, and the broken branches were absorbed by the blood-colored swamp pool, and the branches were fast, and it was faster than the branches.
A crisis was resolved, Xu Shiying gasped for breath, his face was pale and bloodless, and he looked at the mouse who fell to the ground and rubbed his belly humanely, and smiled: "Brother Yuan, you saved me again." The grace of saving life should be reciprocated by the spring, as long as my brother needs it in the future, my brother and I will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire! “
The locust tree, which had been greatly injured, was now completely honest, put away the surrounding blood-colored swamp pool and endless blood mist, and returned to its original green and harmless appearance.
Huai Shu's IQ is very high, knowing that he is lurking to cultivate and recuperate, Xu Shiying communicated with Brother Yuan, and Brother Yuan asked him to rest for a while before leaving, he shook his head and said no.
The scene just now made him furious, remembering the direction he had come, tying his red high heels around his waist, and leaving without looking back, he swore that if it was possible, he would never want to come here again.
On the way back, he took out his mobile phone and called the police, whether he could wash away the grievances or not, the deceased should be buried in the ground.
At the same time, when going back, there was also a small episode, Xu Shiying Guan Mouse Brother was very spiritual and wanted to take it away, but Brother Mouse rejected his kindness, leaving him with a lonely and arrogant back.
In order to hurry, Xu Shiying walked very fast, plus the fog had all dispersed, and his vision was unobstructed, so he returned to the place where he left in only a few minutes, and saw the black car with surprise on his face, but fortunately he didn't lose it, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain to Chen Xue and them.
But when he saw Li Ruoshui, who was as cold as ice next to the car, he trembled, his legs were weak and he wanted to escape, Li Ruoshui stood next to the black car and looked at him without saying a word.
Xu Shiying scratched his head in embarrassment, forgetting for a moment that Li Ruoshui was a violent female hooligan, Li Ruoshui stared at him and sneered: "Someone completely forgot what I said, right?" ”
"Ahem, how dare you, didn't you just find a grove to solve it, how dare you forget to promise your old man."
Xu Shiying resolutely would not admit that he would put down the game and do something else, then he would die a miserable death.
Li Ruoshui was unmoved, and glanced at the time on his mobile phone: "The internal urgency has been going for forty-five minutes, and the physical strength is good, it seems that winning the game is a trivial matter for you, and it is all up to you to compete today." ”
After speaking, Li Ruoshui rode on the motorcycle, and walked away with the throttle and smoke, leaving only a confused Xu Shiying who didn't know what medicine was sold in her gourd, what happened, and suddenly changed her character?
Xu Shiying was puzzled, rode on the accelerator and drove to the end to catch up with Li Ruoshui, there are no rules in this competition, as long as you can win the game, that is to say, the competition is not just about speed.
You have to be careful to guard against ambushes and attacks on the road, maybe you are driving a motorcycle and suddenly someone brings you a brick from behind, so even though an hour has passed, everyone is only a third of the way.
Xu Shiying was nearly an hour behind, and it was completely hopeless to overtake them and win the game, but fate was so magical.
Not far ahead, he saw an acquaintance waving at him, and this acquaintance was none other than Wang Sen.
"When did you kid still have a hobby of voyeuring women?"
Xu Shiying's motorcycle pulled over, and Wang Sen saw the red high heels on his waist looking at him meaningfully, and only looked at him hairy.
