Chapter 17: Illusion

He shook his head and said, "The source is unknown. ”

Lin Yanxi winked at him with a small mouth, shook his sleeve and begged: "Lord Wang, let's just stop by the way, do a good deed this day, a great good person like you will definitely move God to bless the prince to find the twin flowers as soon as possible." ”

Shen Muzhou chuckled lightly at her small appearance, and agreed, but only allowed the child to get into the carriage and let the woman wait here.

The woman stood up and nodded, "Okay, okay, just take the child with you, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

After the child was carried into the carriage, the curtain was lowered and the car continued to drive to the western suburbs.

It's just that they didn't see that after the carriage went away, the child's mother got up from the ground, and her face was carefree, and she looked at and smiled at the man who was squatting in the corner selling melons.

"Eh......"

The child sitting on the edge of the corner in the carriage suddenly made a movement from his mouth, and Lin Yanxi was startled and subconsciously wanted to sit down to investigate the child's situation.

Shen Muzhou grabbed her arm and motioned for her not to go over.

Lin Yanxi glanced at him, and he really thought that the whole world was going to assassinate his enemy.

She twisted his palm away, went to lift the little boy's head, let him lean into her arms, and fed him some water.

"Don't be afraid, your mother entrusted you to us to take you to Quanjing Village, where the mountain spring water can cure your illness."

The little boy rolled his eyes weakly in response, and took a few sips of water, then gasped for a moment.

"Thank you, sister."

"My name is Black Gold." Heijin paused for a moment and then explained, "My father is the most powerful blacksmith in the whole village, and Heijin is the most powerful ironware in the shop. ”

At the mention of his father, his eyes lit up for a moment, and quickly dimmed, Lin Yanxi saw the loss on his face, and comforted him: "This name is very good, your father...... If you know that you are sick, you will definitely be worried, so you need to recover as soon as possible to give him peace of mind. ”

"Sister doesn't have to feel sorry for me, my mother said, as long as I am obedient, I can see my father again." When Hei Jin said this, his eyes glanced at Shen Muzhou and quickly drooped, and a trace of strangeness flashed when his eyes were lowered.

Lin Yanxi can understand a mother who tells some white lies in order to make her child less sad and give him hope to live.

Hei Jin's voice was weak and he asked, "Sister, do you think I can still see my father?" ”

She was asked for a moment and didn't know how to answer, rebirth was the most unlikely thing, it really happened to her, but if it was possible, no one really grasped the method of rebirth.

Shen Muzhou dragged her over, and the cold light in his eyes turned to black gold.

Heijin was so frightened by him that he cowered obediently in the corner, not daring to look at him, Lin Yanxi poked Shen Muzhou and said, "Don't scare the child with such a terrible gaze." ”

Shen Muzhou didn't speak, and retracted his gaze leisurely.

The carriage swayed all the way, making people dizzy, and Lin Yanxi leaned on Shen Muzhou's body and fell asleep unconsciously.

Xiao Liu parked the carriage and shouted into the car: "Lord Wang, Quanjing Village has arrived, I'll go down to investigate first." ”

He tied the carriage and went to the village, Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi were in the car for a long time and didn't see Xiaoliu come back.

Shen Muzhou waited for a while, opened the curtain and looked at the entrance of the village.

There was still some distance from the horse-drawn carriage at the entrance of the village, and the village looked lonely from a distance, and the road at the entrance of the village was muddy and narrow.

Lin Yanxi saw that the village was shrouded in a cloud of black gas, and there seemed to be a spell around it, how could there be a spell in such a remote village?

When she saw that Shen Muzhou was about to get off the carriage, she quickly grabbed his cuffs, frowned lightly, and looked at him with a pair of apricot eyes.

He said to Lin Yanxi: "I'll go and see, you are waiting for me here." ”

"I'll go with you, Black Gold, and you'll wait for us in the carriage." She also jumped out of the carriage and followed behind Shen Muzhou.

---

The village is in the deepest part of the western suburbs, the village is located alone between the mountains and forests, as soon as he entered the village, a black gas rushed straight ahead, Lin Yanxi pulled Shen Muzhou to dodge, and was not injured by the curse.

"Someone has cast a spell here, condensing into black gas and hovering above." Lin Yanxi looked at the curse above his head, and nervously pinched Shen Muzhou's sleeves.

Shen Muzhou raised his eyes and didn't see anything, but he already felt the strangeness of this village, there were many yellow talismans posted on every house, the houses were in tatters, and the doors were all open.

There was no sign of popularity in the village, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time, and there was a smell of rotting corpses.

A gust of wind blew, and a rustling sound came from the treetops, and if you listened carefully, the sound of the swaying leaves seemed to be mixed with the whispering of a woman's mournful cry.

Lin Yanxi's heart rose to his throat, the cold hairs on his body stood on end, and a pair of apricot eyes stared at the surroundings vigilantly.

"Hahaha."

The empty and eerie laughter of children could be heard in the empty houses, and the faces of children were reflected in the broken windows, with two black holes in the eyes, and the mouth desperately raised to a twisted arc.

"Ghosts, Shen Muzhou, there are ghosts! Did you see that? Lin Yanxi's heart beat suddenly, and he didn't dare to breathe in the tense atmosphere.

Shen Muzhou nodded slightly and said sharply, "Who is hiding there?" ”

"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"

The sound of the rattle came from far and near, and a little girl doll was wearing a pink gown, her face was red, the corners of her lips were raised, her eyes were kept downward, and she had two little pigtails, much like a small paper pricket of sacrifice.

She walked around Shen Muzhou and Lin Yanxi with a rattle in her hand, and read it in her mouth like a nursery rhyme: "The rattle is called, jingling, and the bride should wear floral clothes; Quanjing Village, the water spring is good, so you can't leave when you come~"

Shen Muzhou's hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he looked at the girl in front of him vigilantly.

The girl gradually stopped, hung her head, and the rattle stopped ringing.

"You...... Little sister, what about the adults in the village? Lin Yanxi hid behind Shen Muzhou and asked boldly.

The girl's shoulders shook twice, she sobbed, and when she suddenly raised her head, a pair of eyes stared at Lin Yanxi, her eyes were dirty white, and her black pupils were extremely small.

"They are all dead, they died because of you, you are a disaster, you are a harmful spirit!"

Lin Yanxi stiffened in place, she had heard countless people say these words in her previous life.

Shen Muzhou stepped forward and pushed the little girl away with the hilt of his sword, pulling Lin Yanxi behind him, and his sword was on the girl's neck in the next second and said, "Don't pretend to be a ghost, who sent you?" ”

The girl tilted her head to look into Shen Muzhou's eyes, the black pupils in her eyes suddenly became very slender, like a cat's eye, and she shook the rattle in her hand.

A fog suddenly rolled up in front of Shen Muzhou's eyes, and in the fog, he vaguely saw the woman wearing a curtain fence again.

This time he didn't want to follow her anymore, he wanted to stop her, he wanted to see her face under the curtain.

"Zhao ...... Ah......h

He wanted to chase after the woman, but a cloud of black gas appeared in the other direction of the mist, it was Lin Yanxi who was trapped by the black gas, her eyes were forced out of the vapor, and her mouth called his name.

"Shen Muzhou, Shen Muzhou! Wake up! ”

The little girl used the rattle bell to let Shen Muzhou enter the illusion, and then ran away towards the back of the village.

No matter how Lin Yanxi shook Shen Muzhou, it was useless, his eyes turned pitch black without the whites of his eyes, his expression was sometimes sad and sometimes confused, and his feet were slowly moving in the direction of the rattle.

Shen Muzhou glanced at Lin Yanxi, who was trapped by the black fog, and then looked at the back of the woman wearing a curtain fence walking farther and farther, and he called softly, "Zhaozhao." ”

Lin Yanxi dragged Shen Muzhou and didn't let him follow in the direction of the rattle, but he was so tall that he couldn't hold it, and he shouted in his mouth, "Zhaozhao." ”

She didn't know why she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and muttered in a low voice: "What Zhao, what are you thinking about now?" I shouldn't care about you! ”

She felt uncomfortable, and the words she said were unconsciously stained with a trace of sourness, and she suddenly wanted to know who a gentle and friendly person like Jing Xin could not enter his heart, and who was the woman he remembered who was called 'Zhaozhao'.

The point is that she has the same name as her, bad luck.

Seeing that her physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, she couldn't hold Shen Muzhou anymore.

Soul Ring, yes, get the Soul Ring and crack the illusion.

She took off the soul ring from his little finger and held it in the palm of her hand, and a stream of spiritual power instantly filled her body.

"Great." She let out a low cry, a hint of joy on her face.

Hiss......

How do you break the illusion?

She formed a five-element array in her hand, drew a spell in the air, and the soul ring emitted a lilac light lingering in the palm of her hand, and she whispered: "Break!"

Shen Muzhou in the illusion was able to make a sound this time, and the woman seemed to hear Shen Muzhou's call, she looked back slightly in the fog, and wanted to lift the veil of the curtain.

He finally couldn't see what kind of woman was under the curtain, when she lifted the veil, Lin Yanxi was surrounded by layers of black mist, only a thin white arm remained, he thought of Lin Yanxi's usual cheeks, and did not hesitate to go in the direction of Lin Yanxi.

He's going to save her.

The moment he grabbed Lin Yanxi, the fog dissipated, and he returned to reality.

Lin Yanxi watched in surprise as the soul ring in his palm dissipated its luster, wasn't it.

In the previous life, when she was stupid, she read some books on the spell seal when she was on the way to escape, and the spiritual root was too poor, even if she regained her sanity later, she only learned the talisman, and it still came and went.

Now she only used her memory to seal the illusion charm, and she actually used it right the first time!

Sure enough, she was the most talented talisman in the entire Moon Shadow.

When she was in a daze, Shen Muzhou wanted to take the soul ring in the palm of her hand, she raised her eyebrows, her hand was not sealed, and she drew a fixed talisman, she said proudly: "Fixed!" ”

Now that the soul ring is in her hands, see how arrogant Shen Muzhou is.

Shen Muzhou glanced at her sideways, and lowered his head to make sure that there was nothing unusual about him, what the little girl said just now was really strange, how could she know Qin Tianjian's prophecy.

This soul ring still can't be returned to her for the time being, and Qin Tianjian predicts that because of the soul ring, she will bring disaster to Nan Min.

He reached out and took the soul ring from her palm and said, "It seems that your spell is not very effective either. ”

Lin Yanxi was shocked in place, it was the same last night, obviously she grabbed the soul ring and cast a spell on him, but it didn't work.

This can't be, if he was born immune to spells, then why did the illusion-breaking spell just now work?

"Still not keeping up?" Shen Muzhou took two steps and looked back at her.

She let out an annoyed 'oh' with her head down, and hastened to follow.

She coughed twice and asked casually, "By the way, what did you see in the illusion just now?" ”

Shen Muzhou looked at her sideways, and replied with complicated eyes: "I saw you." ”

"Cut, who believes it."

Shen Muzhou chuckled, noncommittal, and continued to walk forward and said, "We must find that little girl, she behaves strangely, and I don't know how many people will be harmed by leaving her here." ”

She gave him a blank look, and her heart was very awkward.

Obviously, he shouted in his mouth just now, 'Zhao Zhao, Zhao Zhao', if she hadn't inadvertently used the right illusion breaking technique, he would have died long ago, and he was still thinking about other women.

The next moment, she felt so strange again, why did she think so yin and yang in her heart, it seemed that she was also more or less affected by the rattle, and she was delirious.

It must be so.

She was distracted for a moment, and when she raised her eyes again, there was no one in front of her.

What about Shen Muzhou?!
