Chapter 36: Shadow Branches
Xiao Wenxuan staggered down the path, he was injured by Bai Yuan's internal force, and he was unable to breathe for a short time.
Listening to the cheerful laughter of passers-by in front of him, he turned around and walked into the alley on the side, one hand against the wall, propping himself up.
Suddenly—
"Poof!"
Spit out a mouthful of blood.
The whole person leaned against the wall in a frenzy, pressed against his back, and slowly slid to the ground.
Seeing no one around, he meditated and closed his eyes to heal.
Suddenly, there was the sound of rapid breathing in my ears......
Who is it?
Xiao Wenxuan couldn't concentrate, so he forced himself to open his eyes in one breath and pay close attention.
It seems that you can still hear the voice of crying for help.
Is it around here? Who called for help? ——
remembered that two days ago, Xiao Xia was also killed near here. Didn't you really meet ......
He stood up against the wall, bracing himself and following the trembling voice.
Qiyun dangli.
Xiao Xia stood on the stairs, watching Xiao Wenxuan and Bai Yuan leave one after another, wanting to persuade Zhu Xiaozhou out loud. After hesitation, he still didn't do it.
Until the two "great gods" were invited out, Zhu Xiaozhou looked very tired, and she turned around to pick up the pawn that fell to the ground. After careful inspection, put it back on the shelf one by one.
Xiao Xia was very discerning, and immediately ran over to clean up with him.
While paying attention to Zhu Xiaozhou's reaction, he helped put the brocade box on the shelf.
Zhu Xiaozhou didn't say a word from beginning to end, with a gloomy face, which made Xiao Xia dare not ask.
Picked up a brocade box, brushed off the dust, turned around and put it on the shelf—
I turned around and went to clean up the rest.
Zhu Xiaozhou turned his back to the brocade box he had just put down, and the gaps around the brocade box suddenly released a dazzling streamer!
"Sister!"
Xiao Xia was the first to see this scene and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
went to call Zhu Xiaozhou in a row, pointing to the brocade box behind her, revealing a frightened look.
Zhu Xiaozhou raised his eyes and took the lead in looking at Guan Gong in the shop.
In front of the statue of Guan Gong, the sandalwood quickly burned out, dissipating the last wisps of green smoke.
With a bad premonition, he walked over to the glowing brocade box and looked at it carefully-
Isn't it something inside, what is it that affects and reacts?
But it shouldn't.
Right now, there are only two people in the store, her and Xiao Xia.
"Help him—" A voice came from the brocade box.
Zhu Xiaozhou was so shocked that he took half a step back......
What's that? Isn't there a goblin locked up here?
"Go and save him!" The voice continued, clearly sensing that Zhu Xiaozhou was close at hand.
Xiao Xia hid far behind the cabinet.
"Who are you?" Zhu Xiaozhou asked, "You-who do you want me to save?" ”
"Save him—save him!"
Inside the box was a woman's voice, extremely urgent and mournful. "Let me out—"
Zhu Xiaozhou rolled his eyes.
"It's impossible to let you out, it's not the first day I've done this."
As he spoke, he prepared to go on something else.
Unexpectedly, the box shook violently, and the movement became louder and louder, and even a whole row of shelves were shaking. There are large and small brocade boxes on the shelves, which are also shaking with the shelf!
Zhu Xiaozhou is in a hurry, this thing is a little tempered!
He casually pasted an old yellow charm on the brocade box.
The brocade box was honest in an instant.
Everything returned to its original calm, the thing was trapped, and nothing could be moved.
After a while, there was another whining cry—
"Don't!"
Xiao Xia saw that Zhu Xiaozhou was going to uncover the yellow talisman, so he stopped it.
Zhu Xiaozhou looked at her, "It's okay, you just stay there, don't move." ”
When Xiao Xia heard this, she immediately shrank back behind the cabinet and squeezed it tightly on the edge of the cabinet, revealing half of her eyes......
“...... They're going to die! It's going to die. ”
The female voice in the brocade box wept.
Zhu Xiaozhou quickly reacted, what "she" said about them-
Referring to Bai Yuan and Xiao Wenxuan?!
How could it be......
Although I didn't believe it in my heart, I couldn't help but think about it a little more, for fear that there would be a case! "What do you say? What's wrong with them, what do you know? ”
The female voice in the brocade box only cared about crying and didn't say anything.
Zhu Xiaozhou was anxious.
Directly tear open the yellow charm, wanting to ask clearly.
Instantaneous—
The brocade box exploded in an instant!
One...... Twigs?!
What's that......
I knew it was a pawnshop, but I didn't know, I thought they were collecting scrap! A broken tree branch was actually stored in the brocade box of the pawn and sealed?!
What about playing?!
Zhu Xiaozhou especially wanted to ask his grandmother if she had a bad business in the early years, so she secretly took out the pawns and sold them, and picked up some worthless ones and put them back to make up the numbers!
But soon, she dismissed the idea.
There was a powerful ghostly power on the branches, which was difficult for her to resist.
Zhu Xiaozhou wondered, how could a broken branch not become a spirit, how could there be such a powerful ghost power.
What the hell is this?!
It's a pity that at the moment, she didn't have a chance to look through the records left by her grandmother, and she couldn't immediately know what it was. was forced to move by a broken branch.
Her little ability was suppressed so much that she couldn't show it.
Green tendons burst out on his forehead, and beads of sweat fell.
I couldn't help but scold angrily in my heart, dead old woman, such a dangerous thing, and don't put a label!
There is no way to go back——
It was as if it had nearly torn her apart.
Xiao Xia was also forced to almost dissipate by this ghost power.
"Ding! Boom! ”
There was a strange movement on the second floor.
Zhu Xiaozhou didn't care about thinking, the voice reached her ears, and she didn't wait for her to think about it-
A small "marble" rolled down the stairs on the second floor and landed at his feet.
There was a small amount of fluorescent light.
Zhu Xiaozhou didn't feel anything here.
When he saw the broken branches, he hurriedly hid back in the brocade box as if he was frightened.
The speed was so fast that she was dumbfounded.
Zhu Xiaozhou cleared his throat and found that the ghost power on the branches had dissipated. Ducking back in the box, unusually quiet......
Is it because of this bead? Pick up the beads from the ground.
The beads that were glowing with fluorescent light oozed a deep chill -
It seems to be coming out of the inside of the beads.
What kind of bead is this?
She had seen more than 10 million kinds of beads since she was a child, but she couldn't make out what kind of beads they were. Even a guy with such strong ghost power was scared when he saw it.
Could it be, this is the treasure that grandma hid in the box? Zhu Xiaozhou secretly guessed, ran upstairs to take a look, the box really fell to the ground and opened......
It must be something in the box, sensing the crisis and saving it in time.
"So you've always been by my side."
Zhu Xiaozhou muttered, a little shaken, guessing that this was the "guardian talisman" left by her grandmother.
Go back downstairs and find Natsu in translucent form behind the cabinet.
Take a pinch of incense ash and draw a circle around Xiao Xia.
Then, he took out the yellow paper and black ink, redrew the charm, and pasted it on the brocade box in a serious manner, and sealed the contents again. That's peace of mind——
But thinking about what that thing said.
Could it be that Bai Yuan and Xiao Wenxuan really encountered something, right?
Shaking his head, "How is it possible, the two of them are so powerful, much better than me...... If I can't deal with both of them, I'll be sent to death. ”
After saying that, he packed up his things and went to see Xiao Xia's situation again.
Seeing that Xiao Xia is much more stable.
But it will take some time to recover from the ghost power.
Zhu Xiaozhou looked up at Qi Yundang -
Black clouds cover the moon, and evil winds continue.
A bad omen.
"Forget it-" She turned around and hid back in the shop, comforting herself, "What does it have to do with me, my little ability, it is not easy to save my life, and I have no oil and water to ......"
Yes, what a hero at this time.
With that said, I couldn't help but look sideways at the door......
I turned my head back and flipped through the records of the pawn, and I saw-
"Shadow Branch."
