Chapter 56: Seven Star Lanterns
Shi Mengya was dressed in a white dress and lay quietly, her expression as peaceful and holy as an angel. My heart was beating wildly, and my mind seemed to go blank, could it be that this beautiful girl really withered?
My voice trembled and I called out softly to 'Mengya'. However, she didn't react at all, and Xiaomei on the side covered my mouth to prevent me from continuing to call.
She cautiously warned me that the young lady was in a coma, and the Taoist priest had taken care of her, and no one was allowed to disturb her, otherwise she was afraid that her life would be in danger immediately.
It was bad news, but she was still alive, and my tense nerves finally relaxed. Taoist? What Taoist? Could it be that Shi Mengya's coma is really a strange supernatural thing?
I thought of this and immediately calmed down. I looked around the room and was surprised to see that there was a lot of rune paper pasted in the room. What made me even more strange was that in addition to the four lit oil lamps around Shi Mengya's bed, three oil lamps were actually extinguished, so that I didn't notice it when I first entered the room.
Strangely, whether it is an oil lamp that is on or an oil lamp that is off, the ghee inside is full, the difference is only that in the lamp that has been extinguished, the wick has been burned black, and only a trace remains soaked in the lamp oil.
Seven lights, three out! A cold air suddenly welled up in my heart. Could it really be the Seven Evils of Yin and Yang? The three lights that went out were Granny Immortal, Liu Zhiming and Wuxin Daochang?
I quickly glanced at the layout of the seven lights, and found that they were indeed arranged according to the direction of the Big Dipper. If Shi Mengya was cursed by the Seven Evil Coffins of Yin and Yang, this was done by the fairy mother-in-law who knew the evil law, then who lit the seven-star lamp beside her?
While I was wondering, Xiaomei tugged at my shirt and motioned for me to leave Shi Mengya's room.
I looked at Shi Mengya sadly, and reluctantly moved my steps. But when I turned around and followed Xiaomei out of the room, I seemed to see Shi Mengya's long eyelashes move.
She reacted! I turned around in surprise and rushed to Shi Mengya's side quickly, but because my movements were too violent, I accidentally knocked one of the oil lamps to the ground.
As soon as the oil lamp hit the ground, Xiaomei and I let out an exclamation almost at the same time. Xiaomei said in a panic: "Mr. Ling, you are in a big trouble, hurry up and leave Miss's room." ”
I was stunned for a while, glanced at the sleeping Shi Mengya, and reluctantly walked out of her room. As soon as I left the room, I couldn't help but exclaim, 'Oops.'"
I remembered that the oil lamp I had just dropped was on the Dimensity position. Could it be that the next person on the coffin of the Seven Evils of Yin and Yang is going to die again?
Shi Ming's voice came over in the living room: "Xiaomei, what happened upstairs just now?" ”
Xiaomei whispered to me with a frightened face: "Mr. Ling, what should I do, the boss will definitely not spare me if he knows this." Woo, I finally found this comfortable job, and I will definitely be kicked out by my boss today. ”
I didn't know what to do, so I replied curtly: "Xiaomei, I'm sorry." As soon as you meet Boss Shi, you will push all this on my head. ”
I didn't dare to look at Xiaomei's aggrieved and uneasy eyes anymore, and hurriedly walked down the stairs to the living room on the second floor. At this time, Shi Ming had already stood up from the sofa and asked Xiaomei about what happened upstairs with a gloomy face.
Xiaomei didn't dare to answer, and tears rolled in her eyes. I stubbornly said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked off a lamp, and it has nothing to do with Xiaomei." If Uncle blames, blame me! ”
As soon as Shi Ming heard that the lamp had been knocked off, his eyes seemed to be about to burst out, and he no longer had his original gentlemanly demeanor, and roared sharply: "What? You put the lights out? Alas, Mengya is really unlucky, how could she meet you, a mourning star! ”
I was so embarrassed that he scolded me. Just as he was about to defend a few words, he suddenly heard Shi Ming yelling at Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, why are you still in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and invite the Taoist chief? ”
Xiaomei wiped away a handful of tears, said 'um', and when she turned to leave, suddenly a voice that surprised me came from behind me: "Boss Shi, you don't have to make a big fuss. This thing is destined by God, and Lao Dao has long known that this will happen. ”
I turned around, shocked, I didn't expect that the Yunmeng Dao Chief, who I had been looking for unsuccessfully, actually appeared in front of me. At this time, I had already decided that Daoist Yunmeng was the murderer of Daoist Wuxin, and he didn't know what purpose he wanted to kill his apprentice, in essence, he wanted to put Shi Mengya to death.
I yelled at him, "Daoist Yunmeng, why are you lying to me? It was you who killed your apprentice, why did you harm Shi Mengya? ”
Daoist Yunmeng asked with a look of surprise, "Donor, do you know me?" Who are you, and why did you frame my apprentice for death? ”
I said angrily: "Daoist Yunmeng, don't think that you have done a perfect job of killing people through supernatural powers, and no one will know. I'm telling you, I've thought about how your murderous plot came to fruition, and I'm going to expose you to the police. ”
Daoist Yunmeng was still confused, looking at me puzzled. Shi Ming's face sank at this time, and he shouted: "Enough! Ling Sen, I haven't pursued your responsibilities yet, but you made trouble with me first? You sit down for me first, and if you have anything to say, you can say something. ”
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads! What's more, Shi Ming is Shi Mengya's father again, since he said so, I have no reason to continue to question Daoist Yunmeng, so I have to suppress my anger and sit on the sofa.
Shi Ming asked Daoist Yunmeng with a worried face: "Daoist Yunmeng, you just said that you had expected what would happen?" ”
Yun Mengdao sighed and said: "Boss Shi, your daughter's daughter has been hit by the extremely vicious Yin and Yang Seven Evil Curses, and Lao Dao has tried his best to protect her Yuan Shen and body with the Seven Star Lamp, but this is not a long-term solution. ”
He paused for a moment, then looked up to the sky and sighed: "The poor way can only protect Miss 7749 days." During this period, the seven-star lanterns will be extinguished one by one, and on the forty-ninth day, the last lamp will be extinguished, I am afraid that even if Da Luo Jinxian descends to earth, he will not be able to save the life of the young lady. ”
The muscles on Shi Ming's face twitched, and he said hatefully: "Dao Chief, I personally add lamp oil to the oil lamp every day, can't I save the little girl's life?" ”
Daoist Yunmeng shook his head and said solemnly: "Boss Shi, Lao Dao has done his best. It's just that Lao Dao was born a mortal, although he understands the seven curses of yin and yang, he has no ability to stop it. Sorry ......"
Shi Ming's face turned pale suddenly, and he suddenly sat down on the sofa. Daoist Yunmeng suddenly turned his face to me and said, "Young man, who are you?" Why did you frame me indiscriminately as soon as you saw me? ”
