Chapter 64: Who's Next?

It turned out that Abaya told Xiao Xia in her hallucination: she had received an omen during divination back then, and knew that Guan Zheng would inevitably bring disaster to the world in the future, but he had a powerful God-given divine ability, and he would also cultivate a great evil witchcraft the day after tomorrow, and I am afraid that no one would be able to really destroy him at that time.

A person who is born with extraordinary abilities will be even more powerful after death, and it is not something that can be killed by ordinary people, even if he kills his physical body, his soul will continue to harm.

The omen says that Guan Zheng will meet a person who also has powerful abilities, and if this person cannot completely destroy him, then there will be even greater disasters in the future, and no one will be able to restrain him!

Therefore, although she is extremely sad, she can no longer give Guan Zheng a chance to reform and be reborn, forgiving him means hurting more kind and innocent people!

She is like a real mother, treating her child who has caused a heinous disaster, and she can't exchange her life for her child's repentance, but although she is kind, powerful, and compassionate, the world does not allow her to choose!

So, she left the little bug behind. That's the only way to solve the problem once and for all, she said!

That bug was a strange insect in nature that had never been discovered, and it had only been passed down from generation to generation in their Yaban sect, and the master had told his chosen heir before he died, so she learned about it.

This little insect has no name, reproduces parthenogenesis, matures quickly, and correspondingly, has a short lifespan. It is scarce in number and only lives for an hour after birth, making it extremely difficult to find. Before it dies, it will automatically suck blood to feed and lay eggs in the dark bushes, and by the following July, it will arch out of the dirt at some point.

This kind of bug has only been heard of in legends, and no one has actually encountered it, let alone refined it into a Gu. Because there are so many insects in the tropical jungle, it can be as difficult as it is to find an insect that looks like a large mosquito and is scarce and uncertain. Even if it is found, how to feed it is a problem, and it must be placed in a dry, warm but dark container immediately after birth, and mixed with its own blood with a peculiar Zhuang herb, but despite this, there is no guarantee of success.

But once successful, this insect has the characteristics that Gu keepers dream of - it will be dominated by people who feed it with blood, and will only be loyal to this person for the rest of its life, only obeying his orders, and will not turn against its master. Moreover, it is very malleable, and it can be refined into all kinds of Gu, all depending on the personal ability of the Gu refiner.

At that time, Abaya knew that her life would not be long, but she had not yet determined who was her heir, so in order not to let this secret be lost, she informed Sima Nan of this matter, and asked him to promise to observe among her two descendants to see whose character was more worthy of entrusting this secret.

She knew that Sima Nan wouldn't look for Xiao Worm even if he knew about it, because that would require the secret alchemy of their faction, and she herself was more inclined to convey this secret to Ah Wu.

Although Ah Wu's ability is not strong, it has nothing to do with the inheritance of the sect, but Ah Mu makes her uneasy, the child's expression shows that he is so inoffensive, and there is a devouring darkness in his eyes.

She even felt that it was a mistake to take him as an apprentice. But if it was the first mistake to accept the apprentice, then it was the second mistake for her to tell Sima Nan about it, because she spoke with ambivalence and didn't notice that these words were overheard by Guan Zheng. This made him feel neglected and took a strong interest in the nameless bug.

Is it Guan Zheng's persistence and ruthlessness in what he wants to get, or should there be a catastrophe in the first place? Abaija was forbidden to death and could not understand. She only knew that the little worm that had been unsearched for thousands of years had been found by Guan Zheng, and she had fed one of them.

Then Abaya made a third mistake - she shouldn't have let Guan Zheng find out the location of the secret compartment under the altar, where many Gu art books were stored, and many of them were forbidden arts. When she finally decided to destroy some of the classics, Guan Zheng had already memorized a lot, so he would research more evil Gu techniques in the future!

For that little worm, Guan Zheng originally wanted to use its greedy and bloodthirsty habits to refine it into the kind of Gu worm that would devour human souls in the forbidden arts. But before he could refine it, Abayaban learned about the future decades through that omen of praying for heaven regardless of his own life.

So she put the little worm away, changed her blood qi through a strange technique, personally completed the final refining of the Gu technique, and set up a forbidden word, and then stored the soul devouring insect in a sealed bamboo tube as a weapon to deal with Guan Zheng in the future!

In other words, she designed a command as Guan Zheng to make the Soul Eater think it was from its master, and when Guan Zheng opened the bamboo tube, the Soul Eater would enter Guan Zheng's body according to this wrong order, eat his soul, and then turn into ashes herself.

Originally, no one could subdue Guan Zheng, but in the end, it was something he refined himself that killed him! This is the evil of heaven, especially the evil; Let a man who has done iniquity not live.

"It's a complicated story." After listening to Xiao Xia's explanation, Wanli said, "But I just saw you lie down for a while." ”

Xiao Xia shook her head, and realized the sadness and helplessness of Abaya's ban, "I don't know, I just feel that she smiled at me, and then everything in her heart was conveyed to me!" ”

"Listen to you, I really want to meet this beauty, but unfortunately she never meets me in hallucinations." Wan Li looked in a reverie, "Ah Zhan, can you use a little magic power to let me and Ah Baiya have a personal ghost meeting!" ”

Ruan Zhan frowned, "Abaya couldn't help but foresee that someone would live in this octagonal building in many years, and there would be a wedding, so she used her long hair to carry the illusion and pass it on to Xiao Xia, and her ghost did not appear." I still can't figure out where her soul is. Or, she even expected her own death, and she didn't necessarily say what preparations she had made in advance. ”

"I have a hunch." Wanli said, "This matter doesn't seem to be completely over. ”

"Nonsense. I can guess it, and I have a premonition! Sima Nan hasn't shown up yet! Xiao Xia glanced at Wanli.

"Boasting is also debunked by you, a woman who is too smart will not be able to marry!" Wan Li tapped Xiao Xia's head, "Then let Grand Master Ruan tell us about the charm and the incense burner first, anyway, it turns out that if something wants to find us, we can't hide from it." ”

"That's nothing, the incense burner was borrowed from Uncle Bao, so it has spiritual power, so that Guan Zheng's ice pick can't hit it at all. As for the spell - when Huang Boheng's body and the pack of eyes were burned together, I saw that the black smoke was different, so I used an ordinary charm to stick it on the bloodwood sword, so that the sword passed through the smoke and fully absorbed the demonic energy in it. As you know, Guan Zheng's witchcraft has been practiced to himself later, and it can be said that there is no place on his body that is free of Gu, so I guess the eyes in that bag of coconut shells are probably also related to his own blood. ”

"You really had the foresight, and since then you've been thinking about dealing with the real people behind the scenes!" Wan Li praised it.

"There's no way, the enemy is strong and I'm weak. If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, it's not just as simple as fighting hard. Ruan Zhan stood up as he spoke, "Let's rest first, I've been worried since I entered the mountain, and I haven't slept well." ”

"What about when you wake up? Do you want to go back right away or stay in the mountains for a few days? Xiao Xia asked.

"Whatever you like."

Xiao Xia chose to stay, because she wanted to browse the natural beauty of the place in peace, experience the simple nostalgia and folklore here, and most importantly, she always felt that there was something in the faint place that asked her to stay. She couldn't tell what it was, but she just felt like something hadn't been done.

They still lived in the octagonal building, and since the village chief knew about their affairs and knew that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, he acquiesced to them. The three of them were busy every day, and they all stayed outside until late before coming back, and then fell asleep with their heads in their hands, just like a real vacation, but the residual feeling in Xiao Xia's heart was delayed.

However, the night before they were to leave the mountain, Natsu suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, unusually awake. It felt familiar to her, and it had been many times before, proving that something was calling her!

She lay on the bed and did not move, staring at the dome of the bamboo building with wide eyes, hesitating whether to call Ruan Zhan or see the situation. The octagonal tower had always been her own residence on the third floor, and the two men who had nothing taboo slept on the wide altar on the second floor.

"Yue Xiaoxia!" A woman's voice called her softly.

Xiao Xia's heart was agitated, and he felt that this voice was very familiar, it was the voice of Abaya in the hallucination.

"Yue Xiaoxia!"

Xiao Xia rolled over and got up and screwed herself. It hurts, it's not a dream, so why did Abaya Ban look for her? Is it really as she feels, she has an unfulfilled wish and wants to find someone to help?

She helped them, not to mention that she is so kind, she should help her!

With that in mind, she began to look for the source of the sound. As if to find her, the call rang out again, from the window.

Xiao Xia walked over slowly with her bare feet, leaned out of the window nervously and looked down, her right hand clenching the amulet on her chest to protect herself.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Abaya, she firmly believes that she will never hurt herself. Because she feels as holy as an angel, even if she is a ghost, she will not harm anyone!

She was afraid that there would be other ill-intentioned things pretending to be Abaya to seduce her!

The night is as cool as water, the bright moon hangs high, and the forest sea under the breeze gently undulates, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and nothing calls her downstairs. If you feel it carefully, there is no scalp tingling, hair standing on end, or the uneasiness of being stared at, is it because she is leaving tomorrow, so she has a strange dream again under strong psychological cues?!

"Here."

The soft voice suddenly appeared behind Xiao Xia again, startling Xiao Xia, who was staring at the downstairs with all his attention, and almost fell from the half-human window.

Suddenly I turned around, only to see that the room was empty, and there was nothing on my bed, so where did the sound come from?

The moonlight was bright, and the furnishings in the room were extremely simple, so that she could clearly see all the scenes in the room, so she inspected the whole room from left to right - the leftmost was the water basin, where the scene of Huang Boheng's forced marriage took place, but now it was quiet and quiet, and there was no movement; Then there is the bamboo gate, which looks like a black hole, but there is nothing there; Then there is the wardrobe, this kind of thing is easy to hide something, she used to be possessed by human skin clothes in Gu Youfang's cabinet, and now the door of the cabinet is wide open, and it is full of beautiful ethnic costumes that she has collected, and nothing else; In the middle was her empty bed; Finally, to her right, there was a dresser, with some simple toiletries on it, and an antique bronze mirror.

When her gaze swept to the bronze mirror, the mirror flashed with a hint of brilliance!

The sound comes from the mirror!

Xiao Xia swallowed her saliva and slowly tilted her body to the side, so that she who was standing parallel to the mirror could see inside the mirror from an angle. As the angle grew wider, she finally saw it!

A woman's face appeared there, not herself, but a strange and familiar face, smiling at her at the moment—it was Abayaban!

Although Xiao Xia was mentally prepared and had become much bolder these days, he was still so shocked that he gasped and almost screamed. Anyone who sees the face of a person who has been dead for many years in the mirror in the middle of the night will be terrified, even if the person in the mirror is a very gentle and kind person.

"I'm sorry to scare you." Abaiya smiled apologetically.

Xiao Xia was stunned for a while, and her stiff body gradually warmed up. She took a few steps forward with some difficulty, then turned to face the mirror.

"You're waiting for me." Abaya said.

"You're the one who made me wait for you." Although Xiao Xia's throat was dry, she finally spoke. After she calmed down, she was not so scared, on the contrary, she felt a little strange. The fate of Ah Bai, the emotional entanglement between her and Sima Nan, and because she always appears in hallucinations, this time it intersects in reality.

"It's me who begs you to wait for me." Abayaban still smiled softly, "You are really a person with a strong sense of inevitivity, don't always feel that you are useless, you can sense what others can't, it's amazing." ”

Xiao Xia didn't speak, but she wanted to hug the mirror. She always felt that she was a pot smasher, and she didn't think that she was also amazing, not to mention that this was said by one of the most powerful Yaban.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Why did you come to me? Xiao Xia asked.

"I have an unfulfilled wish." Abaiya sighed faintly, "I have been waiting for this wish, refusing to go where I should go, just to give him something. ”

"Sima Nan?"

Abaya nodded.

Xiao Xia wanted to tell her how bad and evil Sima Nan was, and he didn't deserve her love at all, and he even had a mistress named Hong Haohao, but as soon as he saw her gentle and pure face, that sentence stuck in his throat.

"How can I help you? Or should I go and call Ruan Zhan up and let's discuss? ”

"Don't! Don't look for him! Abaya was a little panicked, but after seeing Xiao Xia's puzzled expression, he hurriedly explained, "You probably don't know how powerful the hidden ability in his body is, maybe even he doesn't know it very well. I am—so I can't get near him. We are also talking in your semi-hallucinatory state now, so we didn't alarm him! ”

"But—"

"It's not for you to hide it from him, you can tell him later. And I need his help—I'm stuck under something, and my soul can't get out, so I have to rely on what little remnant of my mind to come to you, so I've been trying for a long time to gather enough energy before you leave. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"Ask Ruan Zhan for me to untie the thing that is holding me down, and then let me attach it to this mirror and take me to him!"
