Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Mist
Zhang Yao and Shiqi walked in the dark night where they couldn't see their fingers, and what made the two even more depressed was that Shiqi's mobile phone and wallet were thrown in the van when they were just hijacked.
And Zhang Yao's backpack with the Demon Sword didn't go out, so the two of them basically didn't have anything on them now.
The two walked for a long time in the dark night, and when Shiqi couldn't walk, a little girl in white suddenly stood on the side of the road, who looked like she was about seven or eight years old.
The little girl quietly watched Shiqi and Zhang Yao approach, "Big brother and big sister, do you want to play with me?"
Because it was dark, Zhang Yao and Shiqi didn't notice that there was a little girl standing on the side of the road at first.
But after hearing the voice, Zhang Yao looked at the side of the road for the first time, and at this time, with the faint moonlight, Zhang Yao barely saw the girl's appearance.
She looks very cute, with a round little face and a ponytail.
Shiqi stepped forward and squatted down and said with a smile, "Little sister, why are you here alone at such a late hour?" ”
"I ran out to catch dragonflies, and my house is there," he said, pointing his little finger not far to the left
Zhang Yao and Shiqi looked at the place the little girl pointed at the same time, but it was empty, and there was nothing but wild grass.
Zhang Yaozou frowned, pulled up Shiqi, "Let's continue walking"
Shiqi didn't speak, just nodded.
"Big brother and big sister, why don't you go to my house as a guest, and then let's catch dragonflies together, okay?" the little girl said hurriedly when she saw that Zhang Yao and the two were leaving.
Zhang Yao didn't speak, he kept pulling Shiqi forward, and when the two walked ten meters, Shiqi turned around and looked behind him curiously, but the little girl was gone.
"Idiot, why did that girl suddenly disappear just now~" Shiqi said a little scared
"Don't look back, follow me," Zhang Yao walked in front and pulled Shiqi and said
The two walked a little further and saw a small river, so they walked along the river.
Suddenly, there was a cry for help from the river, "Who will save me~I~I~I'm dying~" This is the voice of a woman struggling
After the two heard the cry for help, they looked at the lake together, but because the night was too dark, Shiqi couldn't see what was going on at all, so she hurriedly turned her head and said to Zhang Yao
"Looks like someone fell overboard?"
But Zhang Yao smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry about her, this woman and the little girl just now are all water ghosts here, and they are looking for someone to be a stand-in."
Shiqi was a little incredulous: "Won't it?" Are you so sure they must be water ghosts? ”
Zhang Yao didn't explain, gathered his fingers, and then lightly tapped Shiqi's forehead, "You can see it yourself."
It was originally a dark night, but at this time, it was like day in Shiqi's eyes
"Wow, you're so good, nerd, you did that?" Shiqi looked at the wonderful scene in front of her and said excitedly.
"I don't have much aura, you should hurry up and see what is in the river"
When Shiqi heard this, she looked into the lake, and it was then that she could see the woman in the water. The cape is sparse, with a disc-shaped dimple in the center of the head, a moss-colored tongue in the mouth, and eyes that are round and glow red.
"What she looks like...... It's terrible" Shiqi hurriedly closed her eyes after seeing the water ghost clearly.
Zhang Yao raised his fingertips again and "broken"
Shiqi's eyes gradually turned back to pitch black
"You know what they are now," Zhang Yao smiled as he looked at the panicked Shiqi
"It's too scary," Shiqi was a little scared
"It's okay, let's keep going, they didn't mess with us, if they do, I'll let them go!" Zhang Yao said domineeringly
What happened continuously today made Shiqi's mood fluctuate a lot.
At this time, she looked at Zhang Yao's back stupidly and muttered in a low voice, "You are ............"
So the two of them continued to walk on, and at this time the fog slowly began to rise around them, and the darkness was mixed with mist. Gusts of cold wind blew past the two of them.
"Hey, this place is familiar, did we just pass by here?" Shiqi looked around and said
Zhang Yao heard the words and looked at it, and sure enough, this is the place where he just met the little girl in white.
"Heh~ It looks like they don't plan to let us leave easily, but it's okay, I'm going to see what tricks they can play."
Zhang Yao looked at the surrounding lawn and saw that it was still clean, so he said to Shiqi, "You are also tired of walking, just rest on this grass."
Shiqi nodded obediently, so she found a comfortable place nearby and sat down.
Zhang Yao didn't know where to find a relatively large leaf, and after biting his finger, he wrote a spell on the leaf with a water talisman.
"Take this leaf well, don't get it in the water, and wait until you close your eyes and rest, no matter what you hear, don't open your eyes, and don't move, unless I call you, understand?" Zhang Yao handed the leaf to Shiqi and said
"Well, I understand," Shiqi nodded, then lay down and closed her eyes
After Zhang Yao took off his coat and put it on Shiqi, he meditated cross-legged on the side to gather energy, before he used the aura to block the knife and help Shiqi open the eyes of the sky, which consumed a lot of aura, and now he has to recover quickly.
Shiqi closed her eyes and held the leaf tightly in her hand, although she was still a little nervous in her heart, she knew that as long as Zhang Yao was by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of!
The two remained silent like this, and there was still some poetic feeling in the dim moonlight.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the wind was mixed with the smell of blood.
Zhang Yao opened his eyes and said to himself, "Are you here?" ”
"Brother, come catch dragonflies with me......"
"Come and save me~I'm dying~"
"Brother...... Come catch dragonflies."
"Come and save me...... I'm so pathetic."
Bursts of cold voices echoed all around......
Zhang Yao stood up and opened the Eye of Heaven, and looked around.
Not far away from the tree, he saw a woman with a disheveled head, her green tongue sticking out like a serpent's letter.
Zhang Yao raised his hand, at this time he really regretted not bringing the Demon Subduing Demon Sword, otherwise he would have been very relaxed.
But even so, Zhang Yao didn't think he would lose to these two water ghosts.
So he lifted one foot and rushed to the water ghost behind the tree.
The water ghost saw Zhang Yao rushing forward, turned around and ran.
"Want to run? It's not that easy, I'm going to take you today" Zhang Yao gathered his aura at his feet and quickly chased after him.
Strange to say, this water ghost also sped up with Zhang Yao, and it was not slower than him.
Zhang Yao ran after the water ghost for five minutes, and suddenly stopped, and then he remembered that this water ghost was leading him here, but the other one never appeared!
"It's not good, Shiqi is in danger" So Zhang Yao turned around and wanted to rush back
At this time, although Shiqi closed her eyes, she couldn't sleep and felt uneasy.
A rush of footsteps came from a distance, "Shiqi, don't sleep, the water ghost was beaten away by me, let's hurry up"
Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhang Yao's voice, then sat up and said, "Idiot, the water ghost was really beaten away."
"Well, they've run away for the time being, but they'll come again, we're going to get out of here first," Zhang Yao pulled Shiqi and left.
When Shiqi was pulled a few steps away by Zhang Yao, she suddenly noticed something, hurriedly shook off her hand and stepped back in a panic
"You're not Zhang Yao, who are you?"
