Chapter 39: Mirror Bucket

With a rooster crow, the sky finally dawned, Hong looked at the dying Xiao Xia, formed an enchantment, and then left angrily and happily.

Natsu struggled to open her swollen eyes, struggling with the last bit of lucid consciousness to spit out the contents of her mouth onto her chest. It was a small folded charm, which Bao Datong used last time to pull out the poison for her, special paper and cinnabar, which could not be burned or soaked, and she just put it in her mouth when she fell, and used the tip of her tongue to push the charm that was folded into the size of a fingernail to the side of her mouth, which did not affect her speech.

She knew that Hong Haohao would definitely bind her, so she hid this charm in case of emergency. The situation was similar to what she expected, she just didn't expect Hong Haohao to come up with such a torture to torture her.

As soon as the sky dawned, the mosquitoes had sucked her blood and had already left, so the spell fell directly on her red, swollen skin that she couldn't see her original skin color, and the authentic Dao mana on the spell melted the invisible rope that bound her at once.

She had a strong thought in her heart, that is, she had to find Ah Bai as soon as possible to save Ruan Zhan, so although she felt that the world was spinning and she would stumble after walking two or three steps, she still tried to distinguish the road, got out of the dense forest, and walked towards the mountain road.

After the bad luck, as the sun rose, her good luck also came, and when she got to the mountain road, she met the village chief of Naman Village who went down the mountain to run errands. Her whole body was swollen and her face was deformed, but the village chief still recognized her under her call, and hurriedly carried her back to the village, and according to her intermittent explanation, the shopkeeper's family of three was also rescued, otherwise they would be dead in the dense forest.

The owner's family had no idea what was going on, and the local witch went to take care of it, and Xiao Xia woke up after being in a coma for a long time. Looking at her body, the herbs that were wiped by the witch medicine in the village said that if she didn't crawl out by herself in the morning, she would definitely lose her life, and the fierce mountain mosquitoes didn't bite her, but also poisoned her.

Seeing that it was already dusk, and the time of the day was so wasted, Xiao Xia couldn't care about the witch medicine on her body that made her numb and painful, and insisted on going to the Octagonal Tower, and had to lie to the village chief, saying that she came here because she dreamed of Abayaban, but she didn't expect to be confused by the ghost halfway, and she was not allowed to help this great Yaban.

Although Abaya Ban has been dead for many years, the hearts of the people here are still loved, and the village chief especially believes this, so he no longer stops Xiao Xia, but insists on going with her. Xiao Xia had no choice, and thought that she was going to go down the well, in case Hong Hao didn't come out by herself, but commanded something else to untie the rope, she would be trapped in the well, and felt that it would be a good choice for the village chief to follow.

When she slowly climbed down the well, Ah Bai was startled, "I was restless last night, so you-"

"It's all right!" Xiao Xia tried to smile, but the muscles on her face were paralyzed and she didn't feel it, and she was covered with a layer of black and green ointment, which must be more ugly than crying, "It's too early for you to get up at this time, but I have something urgent to trouble you." ”

"What's the trouble? But what's wrong with you? Ah Bai touched Xiao Xia's face distressedly, her palm stroked, Xiao Xia felt better.

"Be quiet, who knows if the village chief is eavesdropping." Xiao Xia pointed to Inoue, "I can't cover it up when this happens, I can only say that you gave me a dream and asked me to help you do things, he believed it." ”

"It's okay, I'll lie to you in his dreams at night." Ah Bai said, "Let's talk about what's going on first."

Xiao Xia whispered the matter, and when Ruan Zhan's life and death were uncertain, tears flowed down, diluting the medicine on his face, and he immediately felt a hot pain.

"Did that Hong Haohao bully you like that last night?" Ah Bai, such a kind and amiable person, couldn't help but get angry when he heard Hong's good methods, and frowned, "That's the method used by the mountain people to punish the traitors, she is too much!" ”

Xiao Xia shuddered, but he didn't want to come back again, but he comforted Ah Bai in his mouth: "Anyway, it's over, aren't I not dead?" Now I'm going to ask you, can you save Zhan? ”

She looked at Ah Bai nervously, for fear that she would say nothing, but Ah Bai gave an ambiguous reply: "I can't answer you now, you have to think about it, now I want to treat your injury, although it can't be completely cured, but it can relieve your pain." ”

"I don't care, the important thing is to save Ah Zhan!" Xiao Xia was a little anxious, "And we have to leave now." Let's not say that Ah Zhan can't wait long, even Hong Hao won't let us go. If we don't leave, she won't be able to get down the well, but she might be harassing the village to force us to show up. Your mana has been greatly damaged now, and she is extremely fierce, I'm afraid that if you are not her opponent, I can't even harm you. ”

"It's getting dark now, and we're going to meet her before we can get out of this mountain." Ah Bai frowned and said, "You didn't bother me, this is the cause planted by Anan back then, and I, as his wife, should bear the consequences for him." ”

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't gone up the mountain overnight last night, I was in a hurry to do the wrong thing."

"Don't be stupid. None of us knew that she had a grudge against Anan, let alone that she had been wandering around. The last time you came, she fortunately didn't see it, and this time if you don't go up the mountain in the middle of the night, she will also make trouble in the town and hurt more people. This woman is obsessed with protecting others from harm if she is the only one who wants to be the only one who wants to protect them. It's a pity that I don't have enough mana now, so I can only protect myself and can't help others. Otherwise, even if I am a soul body, I can't allow demons and evil spirits to haunt this mountain forest. Ah Bai said very seriously, in Xiao Xia's eyes, for the first time, he knew that this weak woman also had the courage and determination to defend her hometown and people, and her admiration for Ah Bai was a little more.

"What then? I also brought the Immortal Stone you gave me, and I was afraid that you would not be able to go with me during the day, so I specially wanted you to attach it. Xiao Xia said.

"I can't leave today, I'm okay myself, but if you are caught by her again, you won't be able to live. Besides, if I can save Ah Zhan and how to save him, I have to think about it. This stone was passed down to me by my master, and I never took it to heart, and she told me a lot about the usefulness of this stone, which I almost forgot, and I want to stay here to stimulate my memories, and if I go to a strange place, I can't remember it. Ah Bai thought for a while and said: "Tonight we will go to live in the octagonal building, I still have something hidden in the building, the terrain is also high, we will find a way to delay her all night, and we will find a way tomorrow morning." ”

Xiao Xia thought about it and felt that Ah Bai's words were reasonable. It is unwise to leave at this time, and if they hide in the well and don't come out, Hong Haohao will go to the village to hurt people, but if they are within the range of Hong Haohao's attack and keep letting her go, Hong Haohao will not have the time to hurt others.

So, Xiao Xia asked Ah Bai to attach himself to the immortal stone he carried with him, climbed up the well, made up a few more nonsense, sent the village chief back, and lived in the octagonal tower with Ah Bai. Seeing what Ah Bai was busy arranging, Xiao Xia was a little scared in her heart, fortunately she hid the Immortal Stone well, and fortunately Hong Hao did not search her body, otherwise Ruan Zhan's hope of resurrection would be completely shattered.

As soon as it was dark, there was a commotion outside the octagonal building, and all kinds of strange sounds came and went. In the room, the emergency light that Xiao Xia gave to the village chief in the past is being used as lighting equipment, Ah Bai is calm and forbidden, not flustered at all, and carefully uses his own methods to treat Xiao Xia's injuries.

With a bang, the bones of an unknown animal entered through the window, and the black gas emitted from the bones quickly steamed, and the bamboo floor turned black as if it had been burned. Xiao Xia, who was being treated, almost jumped up, but Ah Bai held her down, waved her hand calmly, and said something lightly in her mouth, when she saw the copper basin on the basin rack suddenly jump up and buckle upside down on the bone.

The bones seemed unwilling to be trapped, and there was a chaotic sound of ping pong in the copper basin, as if someone was in a hurry to knock on the gong, and even the copper basin trembled, and it was almost lifted up several times, until Ah Bai picked up the bamboo pillow on the bed and smashed it again, and the copper basin gradually quieted down.

Ah Bai frowned and said in a low voice: "I'm really a lot worse, not even a tenth of what I used to be." ”

Before Xiao Xia could answer, Hong Haohao's cold snort came from outside the window, "It's good to know, this is no longer your world." ”

"It's not your world either, at least, I'm still with Anan, and I won't hurt others." Ah Bai said, letting out a sigh of relief, and Xiao Xia's treatment finally came to an end. Although Xiao Xia was still uncomfortable for a while, and the itchy and painful red spots on his body would slowly disappear after a few days, but now the whole person is no longer red and swollen, and has returned to its original appearance, and it is no longer deformed and unrecognizable.

"Anan is dead!" Hong Hao screamed: "It was this person you protected who killed our man, and you still protect her!" ”

"It's my man, not ours." Ah Bai corrected seriously, "And he is not dead, he has a wisp of soul with me, that's enough, you just want to get a lot of things, you don't understand that this kind of love can satisfy me." ”

There was a bang in reply, and a window in the octagonal tower disappeared. Ah Bai quickly stood up, and with a trick in his hand, he pointed to a tall tree outside the window, and the big tree immediately turned to the side of the window as if it were bending, blocking the windowless side with dense foliage.

Bang! Another window was blown away by the wind for no reason, and a huge face appeared by the window, it was Hong Haohao. She suddenly became so big, and her eyes were blazing with rage, as if she wanted to swallow the people in the building in one bite.

Ah Bai took a step forward, stood in front of Xiao Xia, spread her arms, and beat a small drum around her waist in a beautiful posture like a dance, which she found in the dark compartment of the octagonal tower.

The sound of the drums is clear, and it is wonderful to listen to Xiao Xia's ears, but judging from Hong Haohao's face, it is not so enjoyable. She tried to break through the window several times, but was shaken back by the sound of drums several times, and after a stalemate for a long time, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and retreated a second time.

Ah Bai's figure flickered, and Xiao Xia hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he was empty, only to realize that Ah Bai was just a soul and could not be touched.

"I'm here to help you, what do you want me to do?" She said urgently.

"My witchcraft is no longer good, but if you can trust me, give me all the charms." Ah Bai's face was pale, and it was obvious that she had a great time fighting off Hong's good actions.

"What are you talking about? How could I not trust you. Xiao Xia blamed, put all the charms on the windowsill in front of Ah Bai, and took the bone chain off his neck at the same time.

Ah Bai moved and said a few words to Xiao Xia in his ear, and before Xiao Xia could object, the third window began to shake again, this time with great power, giving people the feeling that the whole building was trembling slightly.

"You want to act, it's scene by scene, there's no reward for ruining things." Xiao Xia screamed angrily.

Bang Dang!

The third window opened, but at this time, Ah Bai had already arrived at the window one step earlier, and the moment the window opened, he stretched out his hand and sacrificed the charm that Xiao Xia gave her. She is Sima Nan's wife, and Sima Nan is a master of Taoism, so although she has never learned it, she has heard of this Five Elements Forbidden Method, and at this moment, she used her witchcraft to cast this authentic Taoism method decently, forcing a black wind to retreat step by step, and did not get involved in the room.

In Xiao Xia's opinion, I feel that Ah Baibi used these charms to use them, not only the posture is much more beautiful, but also powerful, the water art is elegant, the wood art is light, the earth art is steady, the alchemy is strong, and even those fire charms are falling to the ground one by one, looking from a distance, like a spark planted in the ground.

Bao Datong's blood charm is good, and Ah Bai's witchcraft is also good, so although Hong Haohao's ability is stronger than Ah Bai, he has never been able to attack. The more she couldn't enter, the more anxious she became, and the demonic wind around the entire octagonal building was everywhere, and the stumps and broken leaves and mud and sand were rolling, knocking on the bamboo building and crackling, making Xiao Xia feel like she was on a cliff and was about to fall.

"No, I can't hold on anymore and I'm ready to carry out our plan." Ah Bai's voice suddenly came into Xiao Xia's heart.

Xiao Xia didn't say a word, and got under the bed very unfiguratively, and when she was just lying down, the only door was pushed open, and a pair of women's feet stepped in, followed by a pair of feet in embroidered shoes.

Xiao Xia couldn't see it, only saw two pairs of feet that didn't touch the ground back and forth on the floor, tables, chairs and benches smashed to the ground, and in less than a few minutes, all the movement and those two pairs of feet disappeared together, and the building was dead silent.

Xiao Xia quickly crawled out from under the bed, and saw that everything in the room was destroyed, only the table was fine, and there were emergency lights and an ancient bronze mirror on the table, but at this time the mirror was pitch black, and no light could be reflected at all.

She walked quickly to the mirror according to Ah Bai's instructions just now, and wiped the mirror with Bao Datong's strange charm, and immediately found that the black gas coiled on the mirror dissipated, and there were two villains fighting each other in the mirror, it was Ah Bai and Hong Haohao.

The two of them seemed to be fighting, but Hong Hao Hao was attacking, and Ah Bai had been dodging, obviously falling behind. Xiao Xia was in a hurry, and hurriedly moved the emergency light to take a closer look, and saw that the two of them were fighting faster and faster, and gradually became two shadows, and they couldn't tell each other apart.

"Ah Bai, be careful!" Regardless of whether she could hear it or not, Xiao Xia screamed.
