Chapter 21: Spark
As soon as he heard that the wind was wrong, Wu Jiu hurriedly turned his head to look above him, only to see a spirit infant whose whole body was covered by black qi and whose face was hideous, riding on his neck at this moment, as I said, and tightly choked his throat with his sharp claws.
Now Wu Jiu recalled that when he was dealing with the spirit infant just now, he felt that his breathing was not smooth several times. At that time, he thought that the oxygen in this corridor was not enough, but now that he thinks about it, it should all be because this spirit baby is pinching himself. And what I just struggled to deal with was just a stand-in that was the same as last time.
With a wry smile, Wu Jiu laughed at himself in a low voice: "Hey, I think I'm a hero of Wu Jiu, and there are not a few ghosts who strangle ghosts, but today I am going to die in the hands of you because of a moment of carelessness, which is really ridiculous." ”
I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard Wu Jiu say this, this person is not particularly arrogant on weekdays, this kind of words shouldn't come out of his mouth. Even if he had to say, I think he should have said, "I'm a good man, and I have a big scar on my head." This kind of rhetoric is right.
With a little doubt, I looked up at Wu Jiu in front of me, only to see that Wu Jiu's expression became strange at this moment, and he squeezed his eyebrows at me as if he was expressing something to me. Following his gaze and looking down, I only found that at this moment, there was a red rune under the sole of my foot, and this was not the Qianyuan Xinghuo rune that my master Tuo Wu Jiu brought me before?
I think it should be that when the spirit infant was attacking me just now, he accidentally hung up the Qianyuan Xinghuo rune that I hung on my chest. I didn't expect it to come in handy now. However, according to Wu Jiu, this rune is extremely powerful and valuable, if it is used on this little spirit baby, is it a bit of a waste?
At this moment, I was in a dilemma, and Wu Jiu in front of me seemed to have discovered my hesitation at the moment, so he didn't care if there was a spirit baby sitting on top of his head, he raised it and kicked me down, and scolded me sharply: "Stinky boy, what are you hesitating about, no matter how expensive things are, they are worthless if you don't use them." ”
As soon as these words came out, I immediately walked out of the hesitant situation, and clamped the Qianyuan Xinghuo rune with both hands, secretly reciting the triggering spell of the rune. At the same time, the spirit infant riding on top of Wu Jiu's head seemed to have sensed the approaching crisis, so he raised his hand without hesitation and pointed the sharp claw tips downward, only to see that as soon as the spirit baby's arms were forced, the claws immediately stabbed down.
Seeing Wu Jiu's life hanging by a thread, I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart, but in my distraction, the awkward inducing spell was mispronounced by me. Helplessly, at this moment, I had to start the spell from the beginning. On the other hand, the more time is trusted, the greater the danger for Wu Jiu.
"Starfire Tianji, thunderclouds descending, Qianyuan Xinghuo, Imperial Decree Cluster." When I pronounced the last inducing spell, the sharp claws had already touched the top of Wu Jiu's head, and the moment I was about to pierce in, in the void in front of me, more than a dozen flames the size of a head suddenly appeared.
Although the volume of the flame cluster is not large, the heat is extremely high, and the moment it appears, it forces the cold air of the entire corridor back. Immediately after, streams of scorching fire appeared out of thin air, transforming into dazzling fiery red clouds that permeated the rooftop. Not long after, flames as thick as thunder and lightning burst out from within the fire cloud and struck the spirit child's body with precision.
The spirit baby, who was still attacking, was directly frightened at the moment when the fire and thunder appeared, and a pair of black claws didn't know how to block it in front of him at the moment. At this time, he was as fragile and small as an egg hitting a stone.
I only saw that the moment the fire and thunder touched the spirit child's body, bursts of scorching flames immediately ignited on the spirit baby's body. The panicked spirit infant tumbled off Wu Jiu's neck and rolled on the ground incessantly, as if trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
However, Wu Jiu, seeing his appearance, not only did he not find a way to stop it, but instead ridiculed him coldly: "Little evil animal, don't struggle anymore, this is a spark, one of the true flames of samadhi, if you don't burn the incineration to ashes, it will definitely not be extinguished." So, you just take it, hmph, let you sneak up on me. ”
With that, Wu Jiu snatched the Qianyuan Xinghuo Rune in my hand, and then swept away the fire cloud that filled the corridor with a wave of his hand, turned around and pulled me into the room. Although at this moment, I watched the tragic end of the spirit baby, and I felt a little unbearable. But after all, the other party is a ghost, and the so-called people and ghosts have different paths, so no matter how unbearable I am, I can't change any of the situation.
Back in the room, Wu Jiu and I didn't speak, just sat on the sofa blankly, reminiscing about the tension and thrill before. The feeling of hanging by a thread is really as tense as in the movie, but what we feel is more real and terrifying than what we played in the movie
As the night passed, the warm sunlight slowly poured down from the sky and shone through the windows into the room. At this moment, Wu Jiu and I opened the door and walked into the corridor, only to see that there was a large pile of ashes in front of our door at this moment, and there was a green bead among the ashes.
The emerald green surface of the bead shone faintly, and within the bead I could faintly see a figure floating, and around the figure, there were ropes of lightning binding it.
"What is this?" I slowly picked it up from the ground and looked at it carefully, but I didn't notice anything special. Confused, he asked Wu Jiu beside him in a low voice.
Seeing the moment this bead appeared, Wu Jiu's expression suddenly became excited, as if a gambler was as excited as he saw the dice: "This thing is called a soul spirit, in other words, it is the soul of the ghost and the stream, although it is a little different from the soul of the human being, but the effect is the same, it is used to store the soul of the ghost and the stream, this should be the soul of the spirit baby last night." Pointing to the figure in the soul spirit, Wu Jiu said softly: "You see, the figure in the soul spirit should be his current appearance, but he was a baby when he died, so he will always maintain the appearance of a baby." ”
"I used a Qianyuan Xinghuo rune from you last night, so I'll give you this soul spirit, and it should be compensated for you. Boy, don't underestimate this thing, a soul spirit who has been resentful for more than five years is worth 100 or 800,000 yuan in the sacrificial workshop. A seven-year-old resentful soul spirit compensates you for a rune, and you don't lose at all. As soon as I blurted out these words, I saw Wu Jiu's expression change drastically. It's as if I had just snatched his love, and if I could spy on people's hearts, I might be able to hear his heartbreak.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu." With that, I put the soul spirit in my pocket. This spirit has a special meaning to me, it represents not only my enemies, but also a unique memory of mine. So, I'm not going to sell it, I'm going to keep it.
"Alright, let's go, go to the old locust tree in the garden, maybe find something else." Seeing that my expression became softer, Wu Jiu couldn't help but feel a little displeased, and immediately knocked me on the head and pulled me towards the backyard of Phoenix Manor.
As soon as I stepped into the backyard, I smelled a faint fragrance, as if a gentle palm was caressing my skin, and I couldn't help but revel a little. In the environment in front of you, in addition to the bright flowers all over the ground, there is also a large locust tree that requires at least three people to hug.
However, although the scene in front of him is extremely wonderful, there are a lot of strange things hidden in it: "Uncle Wu, it's almost late autumn now, but the plants here not only don't show any signs of withering, but are more vivid, what's going on?" ”
"Eh, boy, you can find this, it seems that you are not as useless as I thought." After teasing me, Wu Jiu pointed to the ground and said softly: "There is a problem with these soils, you dig up the soil and take a look." ”
Yi Yan dug up a piece of soft land with his hands, only to see that under the surface of the black earth, it was all red, and the soil was extremely soft to the touch, like sand.
"Uncle Wu, how is this red soil? It's weird. Keeping my eyes firmly on Wu Jiu in front of me, I asked suspiciously.
After listening to my words, Wu Jiu actually laughed directly, and walked over and patted my head, and mocked: "Silly boy, what kind of red soil is this, the red in these soils is all blood." ”
As soon as these words came out, my whole body immediately became nervous, and the blood-red soil that was originally held in the palm of my hand also fell directly to the ground at this moment, and I was stunned as if I was desperate.
"Boy, you remember, human blood is pure, and it can nourish not only the human body, but also all things. Come to think of it, the female ghost you dealt with before should have been bewitched by this spirit baby, killing people to take blood, and using human blood to nourish the plants in this garden. But fortunately, if you nourish it for a while, maybe this garden full of hungry plants will become fine. With that, Wu Jiu turned around and came to the side of the big locust tree, and picked up the shovel on the side and dug it up.
Not long after, a big pit was dug in front of Wu Jiu, and when he saw the things in the pit, Wu Jiu's expression suddenly became nervous. But I found that there was a hint of relaxation in his nervousness.
"Boy, come and see this." Beckoning to me, Wu Jiu said softly.
Hearing this, I walked to the side of the pit and took advantage of the situation to set my eyes on the pit. I only found that what was lying in the pit at the moment was the corpse of a black cat, and next to the black cat were the heads of Sister Yuqian and Lingying, and most of their eyes were covered with blood.
"It's good that they don't demonize, if they do, then it's a big trouble." With a sigh of relief, Wu Jiu patted his chest and said softly.
