Chapter 18: Leaving the Village

Liu Daxian's expression was hideous when he spoke, I had never seen him like this, I couldn't help but be startled, retreated and hid behind Zhao Shouquan, looking at Liu Daxian's approaching appearance step by step: "You... What are you doing? ”

Zhao Shouquan's eyes when he looked at me also changed, I didn't know that I was just going back and forth to the village chief's house, why did the two of them seem to regard me as an enemy when they went home.

Liu Daxian stared at me, "The first time I came to catch ghosts with the village chief, my evil charm burned in your hand, and I asked you to enter the house just to test it, and when I saw that I was fine, I thought it was a misunderstanding before I followed." But your eyes, your experience, and the current Sanjun Mantra all make me feel that you are even more eccentric, the peach wood sword is my master's life's thing, and the Tao and aura contaminated on it are incomparable to ordinary exorcism items, but you were not injured but swallowed the peach wood sword, what do you say you are? ”

I looked down at the peachwood sword in my hand, which had turned black and purple, and threw it away with a shake of my hand, "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”

Liu Daxian snorted and spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth, splashing my whole body, "Xu Sanhuo, I'm dying, don't hide it from me, Old Lady Meng knows how to spell, I know, she must know your identity, you tell me, who are you?" What exactly is to be done? ”

I saw Liu Daxian spitting blood from his mouth, he was in a panicked mood, and looked at Zhao Shouquan as if asking for help.

A scar appeared on his cold face, "Old man, go ahead, do what you have to do, don't think too much." ”

When Liu Daxian heard his words, he looked back at the tree hole that was spewing flames, coughed dryly twice, his body suddenly withered a little, his eyes were almost closed, and he staggered towards the tree hole.

"You-"

I didn't know what he was going to do, just as I was about to step forward to stop him, I was pulled by Zhao Shouquan, and when I saw Liu Daxian go to the edge of the tree hole, he looked back at me, turned around and jumped into the tree hole, and the flames engulfed him instantly.

"Liu Daxian!" I shouted, looking back at Zhao Shouquan, "What is he doing here?" ”

Zhao Shouquan said coldly: "He sacrificed himself to the Sanjun Mantra, turned into a seal and entered the well, filling the place where Tianlei and Yin Shu broke through, he was saving us." ”

"Sacrifice?" I stared blankly at the hollow of the tree, and sure enough, the flames burrowed back into the hollow.

"He's dead?"

"Dead." Zhao Shouquan said lightly: "However, this set of formations can only make up for the seal in a short time, we still have to find your mother-in-law's crutches, only the crutches can completely control the demons under the tree hole." ”

I didn't expect Liu Daxian to sacrifice himself, thinking of the decrepit appearance of him sitting on the ground when he left, presumably taking the responsibility for the gasoline burning on his own body, dying for the sake of his hometown, probably this is also his wish.

There was a sour feeling in my heart, no longer the influence of the Three Monarchs Mantra, but the admiration for this old man, I couldn't do it, and I didn't dare to do it.

Zhao Shouquan bent down and picked up the peachwood sword, handed it to me and said, "This old man likes you very much, and the last time we talked, he also said that if you have nowhere to go, he is willing to take you as an apprentice and take it with him, just like his master taught him at the beginning, and teach you what you have learned all your life." ”

I fumbled with the black and purple peachwood sword in my hand and said, "We are all mysteries, in his eyes you and I are enigma, in my eyes you are a mystery, so what about you, do you really not know anything?" ”

Zhao Shouquan stood with his hands in his hands, "Under the tree hole, it is also a mystery." ”

I shook my head and picked up the records of the village on the ground, Zhao Shouquan took it and said to me: "It is estimated that the road will be opened tomorrow, come with me, I can help you find Aunt Meng's crutches, and then you can come back to fill the seal, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of Liu Daxian's last wish." ”

"yes, got it."

At this moment, I put all the doubts behind me, and my mind was full of sad feelings, since my mother-in-law passed away, I had no relatives, and the people in the village did not recognize me, even Liu Daxian died, and there was only one way to leave with Zhao Shouquan.

"Brother Sanhuo, you still have to die."

A voice popped into my head, and I reached into my arms and smiled bitterly.

......

The strange world under the tree hole came suddenly, and the end was also very sudden, no one expected that Liu Daxian threw himself into the sacrifice to save everyone, and the people in the village knew the news and determined that there were no ghosts the next day, and they came to my house to burn paper for Liu Daxian.

The village chief said that the collapsed soil had been dug up, and I thought they would leave with us, perhaps because of the deep love for the homeland, and the village chief led people to crush the tree hole to death with a boulder and then discussed with everyone to come to the result, or to live in the home village.

I really wanted to tell them that the seal would not last long, but I was afraid that it would cause panic, so I could only bury the words in my heart, hoping to find my mother-in-law's crutches as soon as possible and come back to refill the seal of my hometown.

At noon.

Zhao Shouquan and I embarked on the road out of our home village, and the puppet in my arms became my only companion.

"Are the people in the Pavilion of the Past Life easy to get along with?"

Zhao Shouquan carried the wooden box on his back and said, "Fortunately, there is a very beautiful woman." ”

I looked at the light shining in his eyes, thinking that their relationship must not be simple, but I was worried about the rumors that Liu Daxian told me about the Afterlife Pavilion, and I didn't know if I would really die there.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I stood on the familiar land and looked back, like the houses, the surging Guping River, and I was reluctant to give up except for worry. I don't know if I'll ever get a chance to come back here, or what I'll be like when I come back.

As I was sad, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright red flashing from the woods below the village, and I frowned slightly.

"Let's go, there will be a car to sit in the next county."

I didn't say much, and followed Zhao Shouquan out of the village.

The way to Mushi is much smoother, we went to the next county town to have a meal, found the station and waited for more than half an hour, and then got on the bus and set off for Mushi. I sat with Zhao Shouquan, he got into the car and unloaded the wooden box and has been closing his eyes to recuperate, but I was nervous and couldn't sleep, looking at his face, I could always think of the person under the tree hole who was exactly like him.

The records of the village were taken away by him, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to check the truth, anyway, he didn't mention a word along the way, I wanted to ask but felt that there was nothing to ask, if he knew, he wouldn't hide it from me.

Sitting on the double-decker bus, I suddenly noticed that there was a girl wearing a straw hat on the left, who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, the straw hat was tightly pressed, but she was wearing a city costume, in short... It feels nondescript, but it seems to be somewhat familiar.

Seeing that there was no one around her, I sat down boldly, and at first my body was stiff and a little shy, but as time went on, I found that she seemed to be asleep.

The idea of wanting to talk to her was shattered, so I had to continue to sit in the car boringly, and from time to time I used the witch eyes under the sunglasses to observe the actions of the people in the car...... Everything is so quiet and gentle, which makes me look forward to the outside world even more.

The double-decker bus stopped in the service area for ten minutes, and after Zhao Shouquan took me to the toilet, I came back to find that the little girl in the straw hat was still sleeping and never seemed to wake up.

Zhao Shouquan saw me sitting next to the little girl, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and his eyes were full of color.

I turned my head and ignored him, a little curious whether Zhao Shouquan was married or not, whether he had children, what kind of girl like him could stand his temper? Can't you hit him eight times a day?

In the midst of cranky thoughts, the grinding time slowly passed, and the night gradually deepened.

I couldn't stand the sleepiness, so I leaned back in my seat and fell asleep.

I didn't sleep for long, when I heard a girl's voice beside me, "Get up, you get up for me." ”

I wiped my saliva and opened my eyes in a daze, and found that my head was resting on the girl's straw hat, and I quickly sat up and apologized, and Zhao Shouquan next to me covered his mouth and laughed.

At this time, I saw the girl's appearance clearly, two blush on her playful face, a pair of eyes that seemed to be full of stars blinking, extremely cute, the bulging face was slightly baby fat, and the small mouth was pouting and leaking dissatisfaction.

"Hate to death, my hat."

"I'm sorry." I bowed my head in shame and said, "Otherwise, I'll buy you another one." ”

"Can you afford it?" She glared at me because her eyes were really beautiful, and they were even more mischievous.

"Can't afford ......"

The little girl complained, "I'm afraid that someone will buy two seats and end up running into you, don't you have a seat yourself?" ”

I pointed to the position next to Zhao Shouquan.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"I... I want to get to know you. ”

The little girl looked at me suspiciously, "Pervert! ”

"Hey, I'm not!"

Her words made the eyes of the whole car focus on me, I got up and returned to Zhao Shouquan's side, muttering: "Are the girls outside the village so scary?" ”

Zhao Shouquan smiled: "You are still too young to even talk." But I said, don't rush to pick up girls, you'll meet a lot of girls in the future. ”

"I didn't."

Zhao Shouquan smiled again, his smile full of disbelief.

I still looked at the little girl in the straw hat from time to time, and the dim headlights made the glass reflect the shadows of the people in the car, but when the little girl pulled back the curtain of the window next to her, I was surprised to find that there was no her reflected in the glass!

I watched carefully, staring intently, and it happened that the little girl also turned her head at this time, and immediately frowned and dodged when she saw me.

I gently touched Zhao Shouquan and told him what I had found.

Zhao Shouquan didn't even open his eyes and said, "Don't be nosy." ”

I pursed my lips, "Tell me about it." ”

Zhao Shouquan turned around unhappily, "The person who wants to be killed by the king of Hades has no shadow, she is dying." ”
