Chapter 18: Are You Angry With Me?
The Sunset Sword shook away the powerful ghosts, and Huo Nindong was also released from the state of spiritual possession.
But......
Qi Ci looked at the woman in front of him, raised his hand and gestured at her slender neck, and frowned.
"You've been borrowed."
Huo Rongdong was stunned and tilted his head to show a puzzled expression.
The next moment, a black wind suddenly blew in the hall, and the wind swept the ashes and dust that had been deposited for many years and covered the sky, blowing people unable to open their eyes.
Qi Ci pressed Huo Rongdong in his arms, pinched the trick with his right hand, and the golden magic circle rose from around him, protecting the two of them in the middle. The ruins of the broken wall rolled up by the wind smashed on the mana barrier, shattering into powder in an instant.
In the ears, the eerie cry of the female ghost and the voice of the black wind rolled together, and the "woo woo" made people's hearts empty.
The burned Bai family's mansion was obscured by dark clouds and there was no trace of sunlight, Qi Ci looked at the erratic ghosts around him, as well as the bright red wedding dress, and snorted coldly.
"Pretending to be a ghost."
With a wave of the sleeves of his robe, the dark purple Thunder Torture Sword flew out of the sword box, accompanied by the sound of thunder and lightning, like a lightning rod that penetrated deep into the heavens.
Suddenly, bright electric light densely penetrated the dark clouds, instantly illuminating the yin house.
This is not the Ten Directions Thunder Light Array, but it was casually bombarded by the heavenly thunder, and the woman's sharp screams were heard in the courtyard of the abandoned house, which was sad and sad.
After a few breaths, when the dark clouds were washed away by the electric light, the black ghost fog that filled the house also dissipated in an instant.
The lightning seemed to have woven a fine net in the haunted house, Bai Cui'e wanted to escape, but she was blocked and had no way out.
It's just that although the Thunder Punishment Sword can shake ghosts and drive away evil spirits, it can't offset the black domain barrier poison.
Qi Ci was affected by the obstacle poison that was escaping here, and he only felt that his breath was impetuous and upset, and the old wound on his left shoulder was in severe pain, as if there was something alive in his body that wanted to gush out.
His forehead suddenly burst into green tendons, and he subconsciously wanted to draw his sword and kill the bride.
It's just that his hand just touched the hilt of the sword, and the next moment, he was hugged by the people around him.
Qi Ci's expression was fierce, and his eyes were red. He looked down irritably, and saw Huo Rendong pursing his lips and shaking his head, while taking out the Qingxiao jade hanging around his neck and sticking it to his chest.
That piece of warm jade usually doesn't feel anything, but at the moment it is amazingly hot, like a fragment of a small sun, which directly burns his heart.
The noisy screams in my ears disappeared in an instant, the surging barrier poison was suppressed, and the world became clear.
The red light in Qi Ci's eyes disappeared, and he let go of the hilt of his sword and pinched Huo Rongdong's wrist.
Taking advantage of his distraction, the red-clothed ghost found the corner of the thunder net and drilled out, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Yunshu, wind ding.
The charred abandoned house is more dilapidated than before, and a large hole has been opened in the roof.
Qi Ci looked at the mess around him, and his face was helpless.
"As you wish, now it's okay, she's gone."
Huo Rongdong saw that he looked normal, and pointed to his throat again.
"Ghost borrowing, generally wandering ghosts temporarily borrow the body of a living person to make trouble, and the family members who often speak on the death day of the folk are the voice of the ancestors, which is the ghost borrowing, but usually only for a short time."
Maybe he was by his side, Huo Rongdong was not very afraid, she slowly wrote in the palm of his hand: There has been such a situation before?
Qi Ci shook his head: "Most of the common ones are blood relatives. β
"At least, no ghost has ever dared to attack a cultivator."
A red-clothed female ghost who has been dead for three years is just a female ghost, and her Taoism is not profound, so he let Huo Rendong experience and experience, but he didn't expect it......
Qi Ci was a little annoyed: "Listening to the mayor, the bride's symptoms have gradually worsened over the years, and the most recent time, Xiaoyu can no longer speak, which shows that the resentment of this powerful ghost is strengthening." β
"The poison of the lingering obstacle here is strong, and your compassion for the ghosts makes her feel that she has a chance."
Huo Rongdong regretted it a little, and looked up at Qi Ci inquiringly.
The man touched her hair, his eyes dark: "There is only one way to crack the ghost's borrowing, and that is to find out her bones." β
*
The white house is not big, and Qi Ci can split half of the beams with a sword. The two stepped on the black ash all over the ground to find Bai Cui'e's traces, and their feet "creaked".
Huo Rongdong followed his memory, pushed away a few collapsed pillars, and pointed to the innermost side of the room. Judging from the fire, this place is the most ferocious, the walls are so smoked that there is almost nothing left in the house.
Qi Ci stood proudly in front of the original stepping bed, looking at a piece of black and gray rotten wood and a few pieces of unburned bronze porcelain.
"This is where she died? The resentment is not very deep. β
Qi Ci's fingertips pinched a little bright light, and then flicked it lightly, and the light source spread rapidly, covering the boudoir in a semicircle.
Huo Rongdong asked with his eyes: Is it here?
Qi Ci shook his head: "No." β
She was stunned for a moment, and quickly opened her mouth to say a few words silently. Bai Cui'e was finally tied up by the matchmaker, and she couldn't speak, so it was impossible to escape from the boudoir.
She didn't burn here, and where did she die?
Qi Ci: "I know what you're wondering about, don't worry." β
He pulled out a small disc-shaped mirror from his storage bag: "This is the retrospective mirror, you can see what happened before." β
Because three whole years have passed, the picture of the magic weapon has been intermittent.
After the fire, Huo Rongdong saw several people in the town enter the house with their heads shrunk, not knowing whether they intended to steal or really wanted to find the bones, but they were scared away by the ghost not long after.
Further back, she saw the big red wedding ceremony of that day again.
Because of his personal experience, Huo Rendong suddenly couldn't tell whether this was real or illusory.
"On Fireββ!"
The little girl in the ear room screamed loudly, made a ping-pong movement and escaped.
But at that time, the fire was unstoppable, and the white house became a fire field. Smoke leaked through the cracks in the door of the boudoir, and from time to time something fell from the beams, and the room was crumbling.
Bai Cui'e was tied to the bedpost, her eyes were split, her mouth was full of blood, and her combed hair was messy.
Then, the bed tent was lit, and the raging tongues of fire licked all the way down the sheets, leaving charred marks.
Bai Cui'e watched the hemp rope that tied her hands catch fire, she didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and waited quietly until the hemp rope was burned.
Seeing the figure in the wedding robe stumble out of the room, the image of the retrospective mirror disappearing.
Qi Ci and Huo Rongdong were silent, they both guessed where Bai Cui'e would go in the end.
The courtyard of the white house is very small, there is no pond, and two celadon vats painted with entwined lotus flowers have fallen to the ground, and the surrounding tattered roofs and beams are all collapsed, criss-crossed, and it is almost impossible to get off your feet.
Huo Rendong raised his head and saw that the clear and bright sky became dark for a moment, and then the billowing smoke rolled upward, and the moon was almost invisible in the already small courtyard.
"Daddy-Mother-"
In the picture of the mirror, the fire burned red.
Bai Cui'e rushed out of the boudoir and went to another side room, she mustered all her strength, put her father, who was taller than herself, on her back, and limped out of the courtyard.
The slender woman couldn't pick her shoulders or her hands, and at the moment of life and death, a powerful force erupted in that body, and she dragged her comatose father and seriously ill mother out of the room, leaning on the two large water tanks.
"Helpβhelp usβ"
"Please save my father-"
Bai Cui'e banged on the sealed door of the house, but there were obviously people shouting outside, and some people pouring water into it to put out the fire, but the heavy gate was stuck somewhere, and it just couldn't be opened.
She went back and forth between the gate and the water tank, constantly splashing water on her parents, but the night was long and the fire was blazing, but the three members of the Bai family could not see a way out.
It didn't take long for that originally delicate white face to be scorched red by the fire, and the facial features could no longer be distinguished.
The tall body, only the scorched black skin and flesh rolled, and the thin strips of black shadows, lying on the side of the tank scooping the last spoonful of water inside.
This death is too miserable, Huo Rendong don't look too much, he can't bear to look at it again.
Qi Ci put away the moon mirror, his eyebrows calm. With a wave of his hand, the dirt under the celadon tank turned itself open, revealing three bodies firmly embraced underneath.
"Bai Cui'e, leave, she is not someone you can borrow your life from."
As his voice fell, a wind blew in the narrow courtyard.
Huo Rongdong saw a girl in a red wedding dress standing on the other side of the corridor.
And in the small courtyard, there were two more white figures, those two shadows were slender and long, without facial features and clothes, they seemed to be talking, and they didn't seem to have it.
The bride in red, who was originally covered with blood and tears, limped slowly and walked slowly, and every time she got closer, her face became more beautiful. When she arrived in the small courtyard, she saw Bai Cui'e showing a gentle smile, and her appearance was almost the same as usual.
The woman hugged the two snow-white figures tightly and spoke in Huo Rendong's voice.
"Father, mother."
The next moment, Qi Ci didn't know what spell he was reciting, the Thunder Punishment Sword flew up and plunged straight into the water tank, Huo Rendong didn't have time to stop it, he could only see the white light emerge, like a newborn sun.
Then the little fluorescent light drifted away, and the figure of the bride in red became lighter and lighter.
She seemed to look back at herself and opened her mouth.
[Girl, thank you......]
After a few breaths, the dazzling white light disappeared, and when calm was restored, the small courtyard was completely wiped out of ghosts, grievances, and obstacles.
Huo Rongdong wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, coughed dryly twice, and knew that his voice had recovered. She looked back at Qi Ci, who was putting her sword back into its sheath, and glared angrily.
"Childe, you ...... it"
Qi Ci was puzzled: "What's wrong with me?" β
You actually made Bai Cui'e go up in smoke!
Huo Rendong didn't know what to say, so she could only stomp her feet with hatred: "You used the Thunder Torture Sword to overtake her, she will not be able to reincarnate in the future, how can she meet her parents?" β
After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the house quickly.
Qi Ci was confused, and finally figured it out after a while, he caught up with Huo Rongdong in a blink of an eye and stopped her.
"You're mad at me for this ghost? I'm here to save you! β
Huo Rongdong didn't know where the courage came from: "But Gongzi obviously agreed not to make a move." Bai Cui'e has a hard life, she has never harmed anyone's life, she just wants to take her father and mother away by borrowing my voice, can't this wish come true? β
Qi Ci originally planned to coax her, but seeing that the woman's face was red now, and her eyes were full of reproach, she forgot how to coax people, and just laughed angrily.
"Don't forget, she's borrowing your body! It's you who suffers, and it's nothing to do with me. β
"How pathetic? No matter how pitiful it is, it's a terrible ghost, what are the ghosts doing if they don't go over? You're a little kid! β
Qi Ci, who has been the pride of the sky since he was a child and has no dust under his eyes, snorted coldly, and had no intention of explaining at all: Bai Cui'e is actually not gone, and she is not unable to enter reincarnation, it is Huo Rendong who misunderstood him.
It's just that his strong self-esteem makes him unable to bow his head.
What is coaxing? He didn't know.
