Chapter 17: Who?
Towering flames erupted from the hollow of the tree, the flames were raging, and the scorching heat made me retreat and dodge, and Zhao Shouquan rushed in from outside the door, carrying a wooden stick twisted from a tree branch, with many strange symbols engraved on it.
Zhao Shouquan's fierce eyes were like a hungry wolf, and he scolded angrily: "Who made you do this, you are tired of being crooked?" If you want to die, I want to die, I spent a day of thinking to let you ruin. ”
When Zhao Shouquan really appeared in front of me, I had no doubts, like a child who made a mistake, avoiding his eyes.
Liu Daxian was not afraid of him, "Burning the tree hole is the best way, otherwise they will all wait here to die?" You people in the Death Pavilion don't care, but I must protect the safety of my village. ”
"Get out!" Zhao Shouquan's eyes widened, and he turned to look at me, "Xu Sanhuo, come with me, don't me, let's die!" ”
I stood there and didn't know what to do.
Zhao Shouquan saw that I didn't move, so he came over and grabbed my clothes, "Why are you still stunned, give them a funeral?" ”
Liu Daxian stood in front of him and blocked the way, "You can't take him away, let's say, who are you?" ”
"I'm your father!"
“......”
The two men were angry, but I saw that the flames coming from the hollow of the tree had coalesced into a huge human face, and the crimson blood basin opened wide open towards us.
"Look! Hell! I exclaimed.
Zhao Shouquan and Liu Daxian turned their heads together, Zhao Shouquan's eyes converged, no longer arguing with Liu Daxian, he jumped up violently with the wooden stick in his hand, and smashed it on the flames. Surprised, the flame was touched by the wooden stick and shrank into the tree hole as if frightened, and Zhao Shouquan's wooden stick also burned.
He looked down at the wooden stick and threw it aside hatefully, "Xu Sanhuo, are you still waiting?" ”
I was frightened by the scene just now, but I didn't feel overwhelmed by the debt, and there were too many strange things and anecdotes I had seen these days, and I quickly came to my senses.
"It's... Is this a squirrel? Liu Daxian looked at the tree hole in horror, "How is it possible, absolutely impossible!" ”
Zhao Shouquan ignored him, stepped forward and grabbed my hand and was about to go out, I followed behind him with a wooden voice, and Liu Daxian also stayed in the courtyard with a face full of repentance.
When I walked to the door, my heart softened and I stopped, and said, "Uncle Zhao, lighting the fire is my idea with Liu Daxian, I can't run alone." ”
Zhao Shouquan had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, "Do you want to stay here and wait for death?" None of us can fight the following things, I spent a day trying to make that wooden cane, imitating your mother-in-law's crutches to borrow feng shui yin, and the terrain dragon luck suppressed it, anyway, the banshee of the yin locust coffin is dead, as long as the main lord below does not come out, everyone can be safe.
But what about you? If you don't understand anything, you dare to use fire, flames are a sharp weapon against evil spirits, but don't forget that flames can also break seals, your mother-in-law's decades of accumulation have fallen short here, and I can't do anything about it. ”
"You can't leave him here." I looked back at Liu Daxian in the courtyard and said worriedly.
"The bell must be tied to the bell, and if he causes trouble, let him solve it, I believe he has a way." Zhao Shouquan smiled coldly.
I had a chill down my spine, and finally I didn't want to flee with Zhao Shouquan, and after thinking for a while, I repeated the dream on the side of the tree hole with Zhao Shouquan, and sure enough, Zhao Shouquan's face changed when he heard that I saw him below, and he looked at me in disbelief.
"What you said is true?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Not a dream?"
I frowned, "Probably not." ”
"Fuck, what's going on?" Zhao Shouquan was entangled, but a person like him who was on the verge of life and death immediately made a decision: "You go to the village chief's house now to check the genealogy of the village, pay attention to the information about your mother-in-law, your family, and this place, and see if you can find any traces...... I'll help him one more time, but I'm not sure how long it will last, and if you find out where this thing came from, I'll find a way. ”
I realized the same loophole in his words as Liu Daxian, and I asked, "Why didn't you bring it up earlier?" ”
"You just don't care, hurry up!"
After Zhao Shouquan finished speaking, he walked back to the courtyard, and the flames in the tree hole came out again, looking at the figures of the two of them in the firelight, I turned around and hurriedly ran to the location of the village chief's house.
On the way there, I heard a familiar girl's voice, "Brother Sanhuo." ”
I was stunned, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong, she was mute when I met Xiao Yao, why do I always think of her when I hear a voice?
As soon as the thought came to her, her voice rang out, "Because your tongue is mine." ”
"What?" I communicated with her with my consciousness.
"My sister and I each donated a facial feature to you when we were young, she gave you eyes, and I gave you a tongue."
"Are you really Yin Yaoyao? Why do you want to give it to me? ”
"It was dug up and cut by my mother-in-law herself, and she said that we are here for you, and we need the two of us to make sacrifices so that you can live a normal life. Then we were buried alive in the coffin, that's why my sister hates you. ”
I thought of my mother-in-law's appearance, shook my head and said, "How can my mother-in-law be like that?" ”
"We don't know that since you came to the house, your mother-in-law has not been like a mother-in-law, she has become very mysterious, very fierce, and she has no kindness and charity, but is cruel to us. My sister and I didn't go missing at all, we were buried in the coffin by my mother-in-law's own hands. ”
......I couldn't believe her words, but remembering that she was mute, and Yin Shu was blind, I felt that my heart was not good, "You want my tongue?" ”
"I don't want to, I belong to you."
"Belong to me?"
"My mother-in-law said that in this life, we will all live for you and die for you, this is the rule."
"What rules? What age is it to talk about the three obedience and four virtues of ancient times? If it is really my mother-in-law who has turned you into this, I am willing to pay for your life when I finish avenging her. ”
I mean this sincerely, after the death of my mother-in-law and the many things I encountered, I don't know the meaning of life now, but I just found a reason for myself - to avenge my mother-in-law.
"I don't need Brother Sanhuo to pay for my life, I just want to tell you that under the tree hole are particularly terrible monsters and devils, and only my mother-in-law's crutches can't subdue it."
"Do you know what it is?"
"I heard my mother-in-law say that it seems to be a debt created by the land here of the village hundreds of years ago, sealing a monster that should not be sealed, once it comes out, the whole village will die, and it will be formed by the feng shui of the village, and it will be a disaster party, and no one will be able to cure it at that time."
"Damn... The crutches were lost. ”
"I know a name, it was said by my mother-in-law, if I can find this person, maybe I can eliminate it."
"Who?"
"Jin Qi'an."
"Who is he? Where is it? ”
"I don't know."
I pouted, and I didn't have time to talk to Xiao Xiao again, so I ran to the village chief's house and kept knocking on the door. After a while, the village chief opened the door, and when we saw him, we were both shocked, he probably didn't expect me to come, and I was surprised that the village chief in front of me had lost a lot of weight, and it didn't look like a human being.
I didn't break out with hatred, I repeated the danger of the matter and Zhao Shouquan's words, and the village chief handed me the records handed down from the village without saying much, and I ran home with heavy books, the sky was gloomy as ink, and I prayed in my heart that nothing would happen to them.
When I got to the door, I heard a high-pitched voice coming from inside, as if singing, but it was a strange tune that made my heart overflow.
"I'm so uncomfortable." Said Yaoyao.
"Me too."
She has no voice, maybe it is the passage between the puppet and the outside world, I don't know if she belongs to a ghost or a spirit now, but she is alive and I am very happy.
I entered the courtyard with a thick book, only to see Zhao Shouquan standing on the side with a cigarette in his mouth, and Liu Daxian in the middle of the courtyard sitting facing the tree hole, surrounded by seven layers of cinnabar talismans, the rice all over the ground was white and flowery, and there were seven fragments of branches, which looked like he was laying out some kind of magic circle.
Liu Daxian opened his mouth to howl the lyrics that he didn't understand, and the sound waves bombarded my head, and I vomited it out with a poof.
Zhao Shouquan hurriedly walked over when he saw my appearance, and I handed him the book, nausea and vomiting constantly.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked.
I said, "I don't know, Liu Daxian's voice makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”
"That's the Taoist Three Monarchs Mantra, why are you uncomfortable?" Zhao Shouquan looked at me, "Xu Sanhuo, are you hiding something from me?" ”
"I... I'm hiding something from you... Gross-"
Zhao Shouquan took out two small green leaves from his pocket, wiped them on his eyes, looked at me carefully, and muttered: "It's weird, there is no ghost possession, how can you react to the Sanjun curse?" ”
It took me a long time to vomit before I recovered, and when I turned around, Liu Daxian had already stood up from the ground, and when his chanting ended, there was a burst of unwilling, beast-like roars from the tree hole.
Liu Daxian walked up to me, the wound on his chest was gurgling and bleeding, but his eyes were very firm: "Sanhuo, I have something to say to you." ”
"Liu Daxian, your wound ......"
"Listen to me."
"Listen to him!" Zhao Shouquan's hand was on my shoulder.
I looked at the strange expressions of the two of them and didn't say anything more.
Liu Daxian looked at me, and his eyes suddenly flickered.
"Sanhuo, the first time you got the rune paper and caught fire, I knew that you were not human, but I don't know what you are, there is a peachwood sword here, which was passed on to me by my master, you can keep it."
"What are you talking about, why am I not human?" I muttered, taking the peachwood sword from his hand, a cold breath spread from the sword body to my body, and the pale yellow sword body instantly turned purple after I touched it.
Zhao Shouquan and Liu Daxian both looked at me in disbelief.
The two glanced at each other, and Liu Daxian clutched his chest and said.
"Non-human, non-ghost, non-god, non-demon, non-Buddha, non-immortal, non-corpse, Xu Sanhuo, who are you?"
