Chapter 174: Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night
After this sound, waiting ahead, there are all kinds of outrageous grinding.
My heart felt like an opening, and I never thought that my childhood was already miserable. There is no father's pain, no relatives and friends, only me and my mother depend on each other, and I have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I have been tortured by illness since I was a child, all of which I thought were not the worst, but they were also worse than ordinary children. But now, compared to the Flame King, I feel that I am simply pediatric.
When the picture was over, I was back in the cabin again.
Jing Ji stood there, looking at Shan'er with pity, as if reaching out to touch him. I hurriedly hugged Shan'er and dodged it, my heart beating fast. "What are you showing me this?"
She left me with a smile that she had pondered for herself, and her body slowly disappeared. At the same time, a voice sounded softly in my head. "It's not yours, don't force it."
After saying that, it disappeared completely. In the entire cabin, the moonlight was like water, as if it were ...... It's like no one has been here at all.
I stared blankly in the direction in which she had disappeared, stunned.
What does she mean by that? It means that in the near future, Shan'er will not be treated like this by the Flame King? Soaking molten slurry, climbing barren mountains, stepping on knives? These pictures, just thinking about it, made me creepy, and I subconsciously hugged Shan'er tightly.
No way...... I'm sure I can't let him take Shan'er away. Those are not called trials at all, they are clearly tossing people to death.
Thinking about it, I looked at the Flame King, who was still holding the halberd in a daze. With his back straight, his back looks lonely. I can't even think about how he came here in the first place, and how many burdens he once carried on his shoulders.
Faintly, I began to feel sorry for him again. With a sigh, he forced himself to shift his mind to how to escape.
This night, I lost sleep again. It's a way to escape, and I'm thinking about insomnia.
……………………
I stayed up until the next day, when the Taoist chief of Tianqing came in and brought me medicine. Seeing that my eyes were red, I was startled, and thought that something was wrong with Shan'er, so I hurriedly reached out to touch it. "I'm scared to death, I thought something was wrong with my godson."
I shook my head, grabbed his hand, and wrote down a sentence. "Time is running out, and we have to hurry up with our plans."
Tianqing Daoist was slightly stunned, "What happened last night?" ”
I thought about it, there were too many words, I didn't know how to say them, and I didn't have time to say them one by one, so I simply wrote a word, "Jing". Daoist Tianqing reacted immediately, and his face changed greatly, "She appeared?" ”
"It's just a shadow, coming out of the halberd."
Tianqing Daoist was slightly puzzled, frowned, pinched his fingers and calculated, as if there was no progress. "Strange! I've been staying next to your cabin at night, and I haven't felt such energy fluctuations! ”
I thought that the Flame King didn't seem to see Jing Ji's shadow, so I told him about it. He was still very puzzled, and after looking at me for a while, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled out a pale cyan smoke from my neck. Extremely thin, like a strand of hair. He sniffed, his face pale. "It does have the smell of a halberd."
He put away his doubts and patted me on the shoulder. "Good! I'll take care of it, I'll follow the plan, I'll create chaos, and when the time comes, I'll have the Faceless come to you, and he'll take you away. ”
I hurriedly grabbed him and asked seriously. "What about you?"
"I'm broken."
"No! You can't beat him! ”
The Tianqing Daoist immediately glared, "What are you talking about?" Don't believe me? ”
I nodded honestly, and the Tianqing Daoist almost vomited blood, "Don't be so direct, can't you?" ”
"Ahem! Anyway, you won't be able to do it after you break it! There is also a braid, once she finds out, we can't escape. ”
"Don't worry, there will be movement over there in the Ghost Tower in the next few days. At that point, that's the only time we can escape. As for the poor way, you don't have to worry, I have a secret method, and he can't help me. ”
I'm slightly stunned, there's movement over there in the ghost tower? What's moving? As soon as I wrote the first word, there was a sudden movement outside the door, and the Taoist chief of Tianqing immediately wiped off the word, pretending to persuade me to drink the medicine. As I picked up the bowl, the door was pushed open, and the Flame King and Pigtails stood outside. Braids stood at his feet, one hand grasping his robe, very well-behaved and quiet.
She looked at me and smiled. "Sister Qiao, this is a citrus specially prepared for you by Braid, which can relieve the bitterness, you can try it."
I didn't answer at all, I just ignored it, who knows if she put something in it? The atmosphere in the field was suddenly a little awkward, her hand froze in the air for a long time, and finally she could only take it back pitifully, not to mention how low it was.
The Flame King only glanced at her and didn't say anything. But the faceless ghost was a little soft-hearted, and took the braided citrus over, and I wanted to stop it, but it was too late. This idiot directly peeled it off on the spot, and praised it with a smile. "Delicious!"
The pigtail slowly raised a smiling face, I watched it for a long time, for fear that something would happen to the faceless ghost, but fortunately it didn't. Looking back, with the Flame King next to her, she shouldn't dare to do anything in the oranges, right?
They looked at Shan'er and knew that he was okay, so they didn't say anything and left.
Daoist Tianqing also gave me a calm look and went out.
The next few days were all uneventful, as usual. But the closer I got to the agreed day, the more nervous I became. I'm afraid that something will happen, and I'm afraid that the Flame King will find out, but if I don't do it, I'm afraid that Shan'er will really go through such a cruel and inhumane training, and I'm even more afraid of separating from Shan'er.
This kind of entanglement has trapped me for days!
At night, as before, the Flame King was distracted, and the pigtails watched quietly as if guarding him in the corner. Several times when I looked at it, I just felt that she was also distracted.
This didn't attract my attention, but what caught my attention later was that once she was obviously in a daze, as if she had suddenly come back to her senses, her little face turned paler, and then she slowly turned her head and looked at me, with a meaningful look in her eyes.
My heart, somehow, was made very panicked by her.
It wasn't until six days later that the movement that the Tianqing Daoist said finally came!
At that time, I was teaching Shan'er to read and write, and the hull of the boat suddenly shook violently, as if something had hit the bottom of the boat, and Shan'er almost fell off the bed. Moreover, this tremor was not only felt once, but even stronger than once, and I hugged Shan'er and grabbed the edge of the boat next to me with great difficulty, so that I did not fall.
This scene made many people run out in a panic, the faceless ghost guarded by my window, and the Tianqing Daoist ran to the bow of the boat, I don't know what he said to the Killing Flame King, the two looked at the direction of the lake, their faces were gloomy. I tugged at the faceless ghost in confusion and asked, "What the hell is down there......"
Before I could finish my sentence, the boat shook again, and I couldn't hold on to it, and I almost fell. Luckily, the faceless ghost grabbed me in time, and I was able to stabilize it. The faceless ghost also shook his head with a puzzled face, "Great Ancestor, be careful, I'll take a look!" ”
As he spoke, he craned his neck and glanced at the lake.
The moment he saw it clearly, his face was full of horror, and my heart suddenly lifted, "Faceless ghost, what's down there?" ”
The faceless ghost quickly shrunk his neck in panic and leaned in front of me. "Hundred...... Hyakki Night Walking ......"
At that moment, I stopped breathing. The four words of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk are so thunderous that I have seen them many times in the Codex of the Tianqing Daoist. The so-called 100 ghosts walk at night means that there are hundreds of ghosts and monsters walking here. They are different from the Yin soldiers, every ghost in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk is conscious! Whoever is in their way, who is not his own, will be torn alive by them.
On the codex, behind the annotation of the night walk of the hundred ghosts, the Tianqing Taoist marked a heavy warning symbol. "Run away when you see it! Don't hesitate! ”
But isn't it daylight? Moreover, why are so many ghosts underwater!
As soon as I thought about it, I saw the Flame King float, and the moment he flicked up, the hull of the ship also rose into the air, directly suspended on the water! The Tianqing Daoist even punched out a number of talismans at that moment, sticking them to the hull of the boat, and the expressions of the two of them were all solemn.
And look at the pigtails again...... There was no trace of blood on her face, and she was trembling with fear.
It seems that this time the night walk of the hundred ghosts is very big! I hugged Shan'er and was about to sit down, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of the Taoist of Tianqing looking at me, and his hands moved vaguely, the gesture ...... Are you telling me......
The planned escape has begun!
