Chapter 4: Steaming Black Glyphs
The carrion beasts and carrion corpses did not dare to approach him, so the carrion beasts and carrion corpses that wandered behind him all fled.
He took Xihe to a cave, and the night of the mountain was colder than usual, and when the mountain ghost saw Xihe lying on the stone shrink into a small ball, he raised his hand and threw out a ghostly fire, and the purple flame shone on her face, softening her immature outline.
The mountain ghost walked to her and sat down, stretched out a hand, and a clear jade bracelet appeared in his hand, he held Xihe's right hand and put the bracelet in his hand into it, and then, he cut his palm again, and dripped his palm blood on the smooth bracelet, and the drop of blood melted into the jade bracelet and instantly turned into a red silk coiled into a circle, faintly glowing.
He stared at her wrist, and the clear spirit jade changed from milky white to dark black, which was the color of fear.
The lock spirit bracelet was made by him with the colorful stones of the merman clan, which was originally just for fun, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.
In addition to protecting her in times of crisis, the red silk in the bracelet can temporarily protect her, but more importantly, it can slowly absorb the Nuwa divine power in her body, and once the divine power is full, the lock spirit bracelet will automatically detach from her wrist.
It is difficult to take off the lock bracelet after wearing it, if it is not automatically detached, if you take it off strongly, you must first take away the bracelet palm blood, but it will also be counterattacked.
However, he didn't worry about this, he just had to wait for it to absorb the divine power of her physical strength without realizing it, and the bracelet would return to his hand.
As long as someone trespasses in the mountain, the black clouds and fog of the whole mountain will not disperse, and three hours have passed when Xi He got up from the stone, and when she woke up, she saw the mountain ghost sitting on the stone next to her, with her eyes closed, Chu Chu fluttering, seeing her wake up, she greeted lightly, "Wake up." ”
"Hmm." She answered, and seeing that he didn't speak, she asked curiously, "Lord Mountain Ghost, how did you find here?" ”
This mountain is a fantasy land, and it is naturally not easy to get in when you go out.
The mountain ghost stared at the cluster of purple ghost fire, smiled faintly, and said, "This gentleman has his own way. ”
Xihe looked at him again from beginning to end, but he couldn't see through half of what he was thinking.
Xu was that her gaze was too naked and intense, and when the mountain ghost raised his eyes, he met her gaze, glanced at her dirty clothes and bare feet, and asked, "Are you sure you don't change your clothes?" ”
Xihe lowered her head, only to realize how embarrassed she was now, not only her clothes, her hair and her hands should be changed, she looked at the burden at her feet, turned to look at the mountain ghost, and said with a face, "I...... I want to wash it. ”
The mountain ghost turned his head sideways, looked away from her face, and closed his eyes again without saying anything, as if he had not heard anything she had just said.
Seeing that he didn't directly refuse, Xihe repeated, "Lord Mountain Ghost, can you help me find a clean pool?" ”
First the curse and then the ice, just from these two things he can make others so ill-intentioned, it shows that he is at least not a small person, and now he can find her casually and appear in front of her intact, which proves that his origin is not small, and she wants to find a safe and clean place to take a bath in this smoky miasma mountain, she doesn't believe that he can't find it.
Sure enough, under her begging, the mountain ghost took her to a fairly clean mountain pool, and the surrounding trees were normal, with no black slime and no rotting beasts circling endlessly.
She stood by the pool with her baggage, and when she looked back, the mountain ghost consciously turned her back and walked into the woods, she took off her clothes with confidence, and suddenly found that there was a milky white bracelet on her hand, and she looked back at the back standing in the forest.
The night was bleak and bleak, and she couldn't take care of it too much, climbing the rocky shore like a fish and slipping into the cold water, the chill of the pool water made her shiver, although the chill was biting, but it was much better than wearing smelly dirty clothes all the time.
After hurriedly rubbing it, when Xihe reached for the clothes he had prepared in advance, a bloody hand suddenly stretched out from the grass next to her, grabbed her arm, and imprinted a few blood marks on her white and pure arm.
She screamed and ran ashore, and before she had time to take her clothes, she jumped directly into the arms of the mountain ghost who came in time, hugged his neck tightly, closed her eyes, and shouted, "There are ghosts!" Ghosts! Ghosts! ”
The mountain ghost took off his robe and draped it over his naked body, protected her behind him, and when he looked closely, a dying man crawled out of the grass, also with a broken arm, and the only hand was crawling in their direction with all his strength.
After seeing him, two words came out of his mouth intermittently, "... Save.... Life...."
Isn't this the same bald head that disappeared from his eyes before? He thought to himself, it seemed that he had tried his best to escape from the mouth of the rotting beast, and crawled here with his last breath.
The mountain ghost turned around and looked at the frightened Xihe, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he comforted, "It's a living person." ”
His gaze inadvertently swept over her white and soft skin, his expression was indifferent, and he wanted to walk away, but he grabbed his sleeve tightly, his soul did not possess his body, and he whimpered in a low voice.
He hooked his hand toward the shore, and the clothes on the ground returned to him, and handed them to her, "Put them on first." ”
At this time, Xi He regained a trace of calm, she looked behind him over the mountain ghost's shoulder, and after making sure that the people on the ground were no longer moving, she hugged her clothes and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't go yet." ”
Are she sure?
The mountain ghost put his hands around his chest, looking at her playfully, his playful eyes swept over her superior erect neck, and further down, her collarbone was clear and distinct, and her chest was still heaving because of fear.
She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, clutched her chest and said, "Turn around and don't peek." ”
The mountain ghost raised his eyebrows, smiled lightly, turned around with interest, and unfolded the purple fan in his hand to fan slowly, while the man lying on the ground did not move at all.
After changing his clothes, the mountain ghost walked to the corpse and squatted down, and lifted the sleeve of the bald head up with the handle of the fan, and sure enough, as he expected, there was also a crooked zigzag with black gas engraved on his arm, and there was also a serrated wound on his neck, which should have been injured by a portable hidden weapon, and there was also a perpetrator in this mountain, whether it was sneaky or not is not easy to say.
Xihe followed him step by step, but only stood behind him, not daring to take a step forward, the surroundings were extremely silent, and her voice could clearly hear fear, "Lord Mountain Ghost, when can we leave this place?" ”
He stood up, turned to her and said, "With Benjun here, what are you afraid of?" ”
"It's not safe here, so it's better for us to go out early." She whispered.
The mountain ghost raised his eyes and looked around, it was still low clouds, surrounded by black smoke, not to mention that he could see the road under his feet clearly, and he couldn't even distinguish the direction, he said, "I'm afraid this way out can't be found for a while." ”
After returning to the cave, Xihe tried to calm her mood, and suddenly remembered the bracelet on her wrist, which turned black at this time, she raised her right hand and shook it, and asked him, "Mountain ghost, did you give me this?" ”
He looked at her clear and bright eyes and nodded, "In addition to the effect of synaesthesia, the key to this lock spirit bracelet is to temporarily protect you in times of danger, in a situation like today, if you can't come in time, it can save your life." ”
Xihe lowered his head and touched the bracelet on his wrist, looking surprised, "Obviously it was white before, how did this turn black?" ”
"Didn't Ben Jun just say that? It has the ability to synaesthesia, and can change colors according to your mood, the joy is red, the pain is blue, the sad is blue, the disgust is purple, milky white is its true color, and this bracelet is now black to show that you are scared now. ”
Xihe lowered his head and rubbed the cold jade bracelet with his warm fingertips, and his voice was soft, "Then wouldn't you be able to understand my mind anytime and anywhere?" ”
He doesn't deny it, it's just that it's not the main thing for him.
"Only from your emotional changes can Benjun know in time whether you are safe or not." When she said this, Xihe didn't see a trace of emotional fluctuation in his eyes, but this sentence shook her heartstrings.
Weird.
Why is it so good to her? Is it just because she can undo his blood curse?
Xihe looked away from the mountain ghost's body, his bright eyes dimmed a little, and he hung his head and continued to stare at the bracelet on his wrist, his thoughts were complicated.
But how could she have imagined that the man sitting across from her was willing to protect her, just to suck all the Nuwa divine power in her body into the bracelet before she died.
After two days of tossing, Xihe was already physically and mentally exhausted, sitting by the fire and drowsy, suddenly, a strange wind blew, she instantly woke up, and when she opened her eyes, the mountain ghost who was sitting in front of her before was gone, and her heart that she finally put down hung again, looking at the black hole and shouting, "Lord Mountain Ghost? ”
Xihe suddenly sat still, a little cold sweat broke out in her palms from time to time, she always felt that there were countless yin wind miscellaneous in her ears, she rubbed her fingers, pinched a bright flame, and looked into the deep cave, it was pitch black.
If she didn't feel wrong, the demonic wind blew from here.
"Mountain Oni-sama." She cautiously walked into the cave.
"Who?" Suddenly, another gust of wind blew behind her, and it seemed as if someone had passed behind her, but when she turned around, it was empty.
Her throat tightened, and her scalp tingled, "Mountain Ghost, is that you?" ”
The only thing that answered her was a dead silence.
As Xi He continued to explore along the turbulent road, she suddenly noticed that the stone wall beside her was full of pictures carved with a headless soldier leading thousands of people to kneel down to worship a general in battle armor, and the general held a military flag in his hand, and the words on the flag were somewhat familiar.
Just as she was recalling, a hand suddenly stretched out behind her to strangle her neck, she raised her palm and slapped it back, but she was slapped by the other party and fainted.
