Chapter Seventy-Two: Arraignment
My heart skipped a beat when I heard this, and I thought to myself that the old witch's strange behavior before, could I really be right by what I said, what is this old monster looking for?
It's a pity that the old witch escaped. This old thing is scheming and ruthless, and he has already suffered under Qingzi, so I'm afraid he won't easily reappear, and it will be very difficult to find her again. Lin Wenjing and Liu Nan are still in her hands, this old witch should not be angry with the two of them.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Qingzi circling around the strange corpse and said, "It's not impossible." ”
I was delighted to hear and asked what it was. I heard her say, "Do you remember that rune?" ”
She didn't say exactly which rune it was, but as soon as I heard it, I knew she was talking about the one she drew in the palm of my hand when she was drifting in the South Seas. What she taught, I can forget somewhere.
I only heard her say, "You remember one more." ”
When I heard this, my heart was overjoyed, and I hurriedly spread my palms. But she ignored me, found a branch, and drew a rune on the ground. I was disappointed, and when I looked closely, I saw that the rune was quite similar to the one I had learned before, but it was slightly different.
I heard her say, "Did you write it down?" ”
I really wanted to say, "I can't see it clearly on the ground, so it's better to try it on my hand", but her painting is so good, if I really want to answer like this, I am afraid that I don't know how she will clean it up, so I have to say: "Write it down." ”
Qingzi wiped the rune away and told me the spell again. I wrote them down one by one, and when I thought about it, some of them were similar to corpse control, but they were different.
This rune is similar to the one I learned before, and it's easy to learn, and after a few attempts, you'll be fine. I heard Qingzi say: "Go and dig up a strange corpse again." ”
So I found a yin place that I had written down before, and I dug up a strange corpse below. Immediately, he dipped some water and drew a rune behind him with the clear water method. Then he made a handprint, recited the mantra, pointed it out, and pressed it on the center of the strange corpse's eyebrows.
Holding his breath, he condensed all his thoughts to his fingertips, and after a while, he put away the magic trick, glanced at Qingzi, and said with some doubts: "It's a strange feeling." "Just a moment later, I seemed to sense something, but it was vague and I couldn't tell.
Listening to Qingzi, it was the induction between yin and yang Gu worms. I relied on this charm and also caught some fluctuations from this strange corpse, but after all, this was done by external methods, and the perception I got was extremely weak and very vague.
I couldn't help but glance at the southeast corner, and just now I felt that there seemed to be something in that direction. After pondering for a while, he suddenly chuckled, thinking that could it be that the old witch?
Immediately, he recited the spell again, and pressed the seal on the eyebrows of the strange corpse, holding his breath and concentrating, silently perceiving. I only felt that there was something in the southeast direction, but this feeling was very ethereal, I couldn't catch or touch it, and I didn't know where it was, but I just felt that something was there.
According to the records in ancient books, this yin and yang Gu is also known as the child and mother worm, and there is a strong sense between the child and the mother. The old witch's previous actions must have been to make the female worm in Lin Wenjing's body sympathize with the strange corpse and obtain some kind of information.
Immediately burned the strange corpse, went on the road with Qingzi, and rushed towards the southeast. Along the way, Zhongshan is a mountain range that stretches out, and the woods are reckless. After walking through the mountain road for most of the day, he went to find a strange corpse and came out, relying on the charm, and felt it, and realized that the thing had turned in the northwest direction at this time.
At least this thing moves, and it's most likely the old witch. I didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and followed up, for fear that this old witch would be far away, and she wouldn't even be able to sense this strange corpse.
It's just that digging up monster corpses along the road is inevitably too troublesome, and in the end, I figured out a way to use alchemy to refine a monster corpse a little, and manipulated him to follow us.
After chasing after him for a while, he left the range of Zhongshan on the second day and went southwest. Along the way, I found that the places I passed through were all wilderness, and I was more and more sure that it should be the old witch. This old thing took the Huang family's compass, and it seems that he is really looking for the past in one place after another.
On the way, he occasionally passed through some densely populated places, and the honor of the strange corpse was obviously too abrupt, so he could only change his clothes, and get a big hat to cover his head and body tightly. Although the dress is weird, in this way, even if ordinary people see it, they will not be shocked.
After all, the sense from the strange corpse was vague, and although he had been following behind, he had never seen any trace of the old witch. I went around and around along the barren mountains and wilderness, but I enjoyed it. Carrying a bag to accompany Qingzi and traveling with her all the way is the life I have always looked forward to the most. It's just that there is a strange corpse that has been following us, and it is a bit of a bad scenery.
On this day, when passing through a remote town, I caught a glimpse of a rather familiar figure at the entrance of the town, and after a few glances, I recognized it as a disciple of the burial gate. After saying a word to Qingzi, he immediately followed quietly. When there was no one on the road, he dodged out and grabbed the disciple over.
The disciple was startled, and was about to make a move, but when he saw that it was me, he exclaimed in surprise: "Sect Master! ”
I was a little troubled by his call, so I hurriedly stopped him and asked who was here at the funeral gate. After listening to what the disciple said, I realized that Lian Hongying happened to bring a few disciples to pass by here, and now he is in the town. I immediately asked him to lead the way and found the female apprentice of the old man.
After finding a secluded room, the girl said, "Sect Master, where have you been all these days?" His brows furrowed slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with my unexplained style.
I knew in my heart that what I was doing was indeed inappropriate, no wonder she was in a hurry and a little embarrassed, and she didn't have time to explain anything at this time, so she said, "There is something urgent for you to do." ”
When the girl Hongying heard this, her expression immediately turned grim and said, "Sect Master, please speak." ”
I reasoned in my heart and briefly recounted what had happened in Cloud Mountain before. After listening for a while, the girl's eyes widened, but she did not interject, and it was not until I had finished speaking that she took a deep breath, her face turned a little pale, and said, "I will go back and inform Master immediately." ”
I nodded, and then said the appearance of the old witch in detail, and said, "After going back to the burial gate, you go to Kunlun Mansion again, go to Ning Yuanning's two girls, and tell them about it." At the end, he added, "Let's just say that it was said by her young lady." "Those two girls are eccentric, so naturally you can understand that Qingzi is with me now, so that they can rest assured.
Lian Hongying nodded in response.
"Then you go to the incense burning party, the corpse fangzhai and the Gu family again. The incense burning will find the Ru sect leader, and if the Ru sect leader is missing, they will find Gu Tianya. Corpse Fangzhai, you can find Ma Boss, Gu family, you can find Gu Sihan, or his father. After thinking about it, he added, "Go to the Maoshan faction again and find Yang Yi." ”
After pondering for a while, he instructed: "You will go to these places yourself, and don't let others know about them first." ”
Lian Hongying wrote them down one by one. This girl was also in a hurry, and immediately said goodbye to me and rushed back to the funeral gate with a few disciples. Before leaving, he asked me to the side, avoided the other disciples, and said, "Sect Master, you are now the Sect Master of our burial sect, don't be the same as before." ”
Although she didn't say anything like before, I thought that Bacheng was saying "the same nonsense as before", so I quickly nodded and agreed. The girl let me go and took the disciple away.
I turned back to look for Aoko, and saw her wandering along the old stone-paved street, and the strange corpse tree followed her in a daze.
Coming out of this town, he continued to follow the old witch on the road, and went around and around on the way, just like flying a kite, and he didn't run into the old witch along the way, but the clue was not broken. After all this, sometimes I wonder if our inference is wrong.
If I followed further, I found that I had returned to the Xiangxi area. The old witch stopped suddenly, and never moved again. I thought she was going back to Cloud Mountain, but it turned out that it wasn't. This side is far away from Yunwu Mountain. "Did the old witch find a place?" As I was pondering, I suddenly heard a strange cry behind me, and when I looked back, I saw the strange corpse that had followed us all the way collapsed to the ground, and when I looked over, the position of the chest had been cracked, and gurgling black water flowed out. The Gu worm inside has also turned into black juice.
After inspecting it, the monster corpse was burned. The two of them plunged headlong into this reckless mountain.
