Chapter 68: Xiu Yao
"Lu Xiuyao?"
That figure was almost exactly the same as what I had seen in the Lu family's garden before, the only difference was that at this moment, her hands and feet were bound by the phantom of the air charm, and she couldn't be turbulent.
"You're a badass! What do you want? She said as she cried.
I was embarrassed all of a sudden, she was still like a little girl, and it really made me unbearable to face her in this way, but I didn't know how to manipulate the talisman array, let alone let her go.
Unexpectedly, as I thought so, the phantoms that bound her hands and feet suddenly loosened, but there was a faint black ball of light still surrounding the outside.
"Do you remember me?" I asked as kindly as I could.
"I don't remember!" Lu Xiuyao shouted loudly.
I've never had the experience of facing a little girl of this age, how can I make her obedient? This is simply something that makes me more difficult than defeating Huang Dou.
"About ten days ago, we were in your garden......" I started to guide her, but she just cried and didn't say anything.
I could only walk over and try to reassure her as much as I could.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just wanted to ask you a few questions."
"You're a bully!" Lu Xiuyao cried vigorously, leaving me helpless.
If she's a real little girl, I might be able to pat her on the back and give her something to eat, but she's already a ghost, how can I calm her down?
"Don't cry, okay? What do you want, I'll find a way to get it for you? ”
"I want ice cream!" Lu Xiuyao cried and said.
Ice-cream-shower?
You're kidding me, aren't you?
"Shall we order something else? Brother burns some paper money for you, can you buy what you want? ”
"I don't want that, I just want ice cream!" She burst into tears.
I sighed deeply and took another step forward.
At this moment, Lu Xiuyao's body suddenly became huge, and a big mouth full of huge teeth pounced on me!
I fell backwards in fright, but she slammed headfirst into the phantom, and countless black lightning bolts struck her, causing her to scream.
That's when I realized that she was no longer human, but a ghost who had been stuck in this world for five years by some kind of magic.
How could she still retain the innocence of that six-year-old girl?
"I was wrong! I was wrong! Her screams seemed to mock my ignorance, but I couldn't bear it, and with a thought, the black thunderbolts vanished.
She lay motionless in the ball, and I sighed, and as soon as my mind moved, a black thunderbolt struck her, causing her to scream and jump.
"Do you want to continue to suffer?"
"What do you want to know?" is still that beautiful and innocent face, but behind that childish face, there is malice and resentment that cannot be hidden.
"Who was the woman that night? Is it really Shao Lehua? ”
"It's me." She replied calmly.
"Why?" I asked. "Why do you want to hurt me?"
"Do ghosts have to hurt people?" She sneered.
"Then why don't you do it to anyone else?"
"If I can do it, do you think I don't want to?" She said resentfully. "It's been five years, and you're the only person I've been able to touch."
"Someone imprisoned you? Who is it? ”
"I don't know." She shook her head.
"Is that your father?"
She sneered, "He doesn't deserve to be my father." ”
The resentment on her face gave me the creeps, and the appearance of such an expression on a little girl's face made people shudder.
"How did you die?"
The question made her growl, as if trying to pounce on me, but she eventually held back.
"I don't know." She said with suppressed anger. "I just remember playing in the yard and then I died."
"You don't know how you died?"
"Five years ago I was just a kid, what do you think I'll know?" She looked at me sarcastically.
"What has happened in the last five years? What do they want by imprisoning you in the Lu family? I asked with a soft sigh.
"I don't know." Lu Xiuyao replied.
Contrary to what I had imagined, this formation didn't seem to require the trapped soul to do anything, it just bound her in the small space around the spirit chamber.
At first she was unconscious, but soon, with the help of some force, she regained consciousness and had a will of her own.
The ghost doesn't need sleep, and it is conceivable that for a long time, she has been controlled by some force in that small space, which makes her gradually unbearable, but powerless to change. But she soon found herself able to leave the chamber at an unspecified time of the day for outsiders to see, but she couldn't go farther, let alone contact her loved ones, or have direct contact or communication with anyone.
She could see them moving around her, but there was no way to hear what they were saying, let alone talk to them. When they appeared in her spiritual chamber, it brought her not spiritual comfort, but a painful torment.
It was a disguised captivity and torture, the short period of freedom made the long detention more painful, and the resentment accumulated day by day, and distorted her mind, but her power did not grow like the other spirits, but was siphoned away by something in the spirit chamber.
I suspect that that may be what Huang Qihu needs to set up this formation in the end.
The change happened half a year ago, when she suddenly found that she could move more and more freely, and the thing that could drain her power seemed to stop working, making her strength stronger.
If it weren't for my hasty intervention, perhaps she would soon be able to accumulate enough power to hurt humanity.
"Then why can't you enter the Lu family's mansion?"
Lu Xiuyao shook her head: "I don't know, there's something in there that attracts me, but it makes me feel scared." I tried to get in, but a force pushed me out. ”
I have no way to get anything useful from Lu Xiuyao, she is just a poor victim.
As soon as my mind moved, four black phantoms bound her hands and feet.
"What do you want to do?" She exclaimed. "I've told you everything I know!"
"I won't hurt you, but you have to make no way to hurt me first." I said with a sigh and pulled the Soul Talisman out of my backpack.
Because I can't draw many talismans, the only two talismans I can draw are a lot of them when I'm idle, but they were almost useless before, and this is the first time I've used the soul talisman I drew myself.
I put it on Lu Xiuyao's forehead, silently reciting the incantation, the black qi was gradually sucked out of her body and injected into the charm, she struggled hard at first, but later, the expression on her face gradually calmed down.
One of the talismans quickly went completely black, and I had to replace it with another.
When all the black qi was sucked in, the resentment on her face was gone.
"Go back to where you need to go." I said softly, and lit the two talismans.
The power of resentment was transformed into something else I couldn't comprehend, and a faint halo appeared beside her.
"Thank you!" She timidly bowed to me and threw herself inside.
The halo disappeared quickly, and theoretically, that end led to Lethe River could allow a wandering soul like Lu Xiuyao, who was stranded in the world for reasons not because of himself, to reincarnate again.
But I didn't know what kind of situation she would face.
May you never meet such a father again in the next life.
I whispered to her.
