Chapter 45: The Well
In the black light, there is a golden hairpin.
It was swept by a strong wind, and when it was about to stab Xia Zhicicada, it was restrained by an invisible force.
The golden hairpin was bent a little in front of Xia Zhicicada, and the originally slender hairpin became an almost folded form, and then it was twisted and rubbed back and forth like a twisted flower.
Finally, it turns into a bulging golden ball.
It fell to the ground with a thud, and smashed directly into the green bricks of the floor, sinking deep into it.
The one who sent out the golden hairpin was the fox-tailed woman who was bullied by Xia Zhicia before, she pouted angrily, and several tails behind her swayed up and down.
"The kid surnamed Xia, I'm waiting for you to come......"
After speaking, a cloud of black gas rose from the tear mole woman's body, and then swirled into the ground.
The tear mole woman let out a long breath, she stretched out her hand and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with the corner of her sleeve, and then first glanced at her sister:
"Little sister, next time you dare to mess around, the master won't spare it......"
"Oh."
Although the foxtail woman was still a little unconvinced, she didn't dare to disobey her sister and master's words, so she could only stare at Xia Zhicicada viciously.
"Lord Lingguan, please follow me to the backyard to meet the master."
The tear mole woman was not rude, she pointed with her hand and motioned for Xia Zhicicada to go with her.
Xia Zhician nodded slightly and followed.
The foxtail woman flicked her tail behind her, but didn't follow. She squatted on the ground and carved the shape of a small person into the hard bluestone slab with her green jade fingers.
It seems that the villain should be drawn according to Xia Zhicicada, and his clothes are very similar.
She looked at the villain and giggled twice, then raised her finger and inserted it into the villain's eyes, then into her heart, then into her stomach, and then into her legs......
"Fork you! Tell you to bully me! Fork you! ”
……
"Lord Lingguan, my little sister is stubborn, please don't be like her......"
The tear-mole woman walked out of the room, and as soon as she held her right hand, an oil-paper umbrella appeared, which was not large but just enough to cover the wind and rain above their heads.
"Don't worry, Xia is not a person with a small belly."
Xia Zhicicada watched the pouring rain, listened to the crackling sound of the rain hitting the oil-paper umbrella, and then watched the rain drip from the corner of the umbrella, almost forming a line.
"How's that friend of mine......"
At this time, he remembered Nan Er who didn't know when he had been replaced, but judging from the other party's attitude towards him, it shouldn't be difficult for Nan Er.
"Please rest assured, I will not embarrass your friend."
The woman said with a smile.
……
The rain was pouring and the cold wind was howling.
Nan Er clutched the backprint knife in his hand, his back was against the black gate, he was shivering from the cold wind, and his snot was about to come down.
"Oh, why do you have to get cold outside, come inside......
The paper man in the house didn't dare to go out, he didn't know that he was tired, and he kept shouting in the house all the time, saying all the nonsense.
But Nan Er was unmoved, he held the knife and didn't say a word.
Now the door can't get out, and there is a chattering paper man in the house, if you don't want to stay here and be beaten by the wind and rain, then you can only ......
He looked at the moon gates to the left and right.
A rusty copper lock hung from both moon doors.
Why don't you try to open the copper lock and take a look at the courtyard behind the moon gate?
Waiting is also death, and maybe there will be life if you fight.
Nan Eryi gritted his teeth, he randomly chose a moon gate and rushed over, directly cut the copper lock with a knife, and then pushed open the wooden door and dodged in.
"You're back, you're coming back to play with me! Don't leave! Don't go! ”
The paper figure in the room banged on the window, and he kept shouting, his voice becoming more and more urgent, and finally a little frightened.
Nan Er flashed in and closed the moon door with his hand, closing the shouts of the paper man outside.
He looked around.
It's similar to the previous courtyard, except that there are two symmetrical houses on the left and right, and an identical moon gate on the opposite side.
There was a tree in the middle of the yard that had dried up, and it was impossible to tell what kind of tree it was.
Under the heavy rain, Nan Er took three steps and two steps to run under the eaves of the house on the left. He first listened cautiously to the sounds inside the room, and after making sure that there was no movement inside, he pushed the door and walked in.
The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Nan Er took out a fire fold from his arms, and after pulling out the stopper, after blowing several times in a row, a flame was raised.
The faint flames illuminated the room.
"I can finally take a breath......"
Nanji searched the house and found nothing like oil lamp candlesticks, but there were a few pieces of furniture in the house that had decayed.
He simply broke up the furniture, plucked some dry grass from the corner of the wall, used it as velvet, and in a short time lit a fire in the house.
"Alas......"
Nan Er untied his already soaked clothes, looked at the several scratches and tears with blood stains on it, and could only sigh helplessly.
I found a few sticks of wood and built a simple frame, and then I put all the clothes on and baked them by the fire.
Nan Er was shirtless and only wore a pair of obscene pants, sitting next to the fire and constantly pulling the burning wood in the fire, and from time to time sparks burst out.
"Alas, since I met Xia Zhicicada, this demonic thing has not been broken......"
As he spoke, he heard a grunt.
It wasn't anyone else, but Nanji's stomach screamed. He was in a hurry during the day, fought with paper figures at night, and was drenched in the rain for half a day, and now he can be described as hungry.
"Tsk, there's still dry food in my luggage......"
It's a pity that the luggage was lost in the paper man's house, and it was impossible for me to run back stupidly for a bite to eat.
At that moment, I suddenly heard a squeak.
The door was pushed open.
"Who!"
Nan Er shouted loudly and stood up with his knife.
By the light of the fire, he saw that the person who pushed open the door was a delicate woman in a pink skirt, and the latter looked at him with apricot eyes and a shocked face.
didn't wait for Nan Er to get closer, but he heard a coquettish voice from the woman:
"Stinky rascals! Come on, someone's playing hooligan! ”
"Uh......" Nan Er didn't know what to do for a while.
"Don't come here, I can tell you, I'm not human!"
The woman covered her face with one hand, waved the other hand in front of her, bent her five fingers into claws, and kept saying in her mouth:
"I'm a youkai! Very powerful, very powerful monster, if you dare to come close to me, I will eat you! I'm going to eat you, I'm going to eat you! ”
Nan Er has also seen a lot of demons and monsters, some are extremely terrifying, some are strange, and some are pretending to be ghosts.
But it's the first time I've seen such a cute youkai.
"Why did you eat me, eat from the beginning, or start with the feet......"
Nan Er took a knife and pulled a knife flower, and the bright light of the knife made the woman involuntarily take a few steps back, and her voice was full of crying:
"Woo~ Don't bully me, I'm ......"
The woman didn't even close the door, and disappeared directly into the lightning and thunder outside the house.
Nanji slammed the door shut, and he walked back to the fire and sat down.
"Why do you feel like I'm more of a youkai?"
As the firelight flickered, Nanji smiled and touched his nose.
……
Xia Zhician followed the tear mole woman, and he didn't know how long he walked, and the two of them held an umbrella together until they reached a large courtyard at the back.
Generally speaking, the rearmost courtyard should be the back garden of the rich and noble, with exotic flowers and rockery verandahs or something, but there is nothing in the big yard in front of Xia Zhicicada.
If anything, there is a small pool in the middle of the uneven ground, and in the middle of the pool is an ancient blue brick well.
"Well?"
Xia Zhicicada chuckled in his heart, among all the hiding places of demons and monsters, the well can be said to be one of the best places.
Just because the bottom of the well can avoid the sun and the moon, and it is connected to the underground dark river, the yin gas does not disperse all year round.
At the beginning, the female ghost in the old store of the Dong family was able to complain because she happened to fall into the well.
"The master is waiting for you below."
The tear mole woman stopped, she turned her head and said to Xia Zhicicada.
"Sure enough......"
Xia Zhician nodded, he probably guessed it when he saw the strange well, so he was not surprised at all when the tear mole woman said it.
"Please."
Xia Zhicicada nodded, he quickly passed through the rain curtain, and the whole person jumped up, like a flying arrow falling into the center of the target.
Just in case, he still took out the cinnabar yellow talisman and held it in his right hand.
After falling into the well, the moss-covered stone brick wall appeared in front of his eyes, and then as his body fell rapidly, the light in his vision disappeared little by little.
Gradually, he was enveloped in darkness.
I don't know how long it has been, Xia Zhicicada secretly counted the time, and calculated according to the time of the fall, he was afraid that he had fallen hundreds of feet deep.
What well is not so deep?
Poof, it finally fell into the water. The water was colder than the heavy snow in the middle of winter, and if it weren't for Xia Zhicicada, even if he choked the water avoidance, he was afraid that he would be frozen into a popsicle.
The water evacuation method squeezed out all the air around Xia Zhicicada, forming a huge bubble that enveloped him, floating under the deep and cold water.
Xia Zhician took out the wine gourd and took a sip, the surroundings were all the same pitch-black color, and even if he looked up, he couldn't see the well he had fallen from.
"I've seen this wine gourd too, it's something he carries with him......"
The old voice reappeared.
But this time it didn't come through other people's mouths, nor did it come down the water, but directly appeared in Xia Zhiciao's mind.
The other party's level is too high than his own, so that he can use the Yuan Shen to communicate with his soul, and he can't resist yet.
"Dare to ask your seniors, what are you looking for me for?"
Xia Zhician asked straightforwardly.
"Hahahahahaha, don't worry little guy, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, can't I talk to my old guy more?"
The old voice laughed:
"You, a spiritual official who has not even entered the house, dare to speak like this in front of me, you really deserve to be his descendant, and your temper is really similar to ......"
Xia Zhician pursed his lips, he pinched the water with his left hand, and began to use the earth escape technique with his right hand. As long as he is underground now, using the Earth Escape Technique can make him leave from here, and after drinking a sip of immortal brew just now, the true qi in his body is enough to support him to leave.
"If you don't, then I'll leave."
"Uh, you little devil really, don't you even want to listen to a few old people's nagging?"
The old voice continued:
"Besides...... Are you able to walk now? ”
Xia Zhicicada suddenly felt that the water around her had changed, as if there was a pair of invisible hands wrapping herself, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't escape.
"Then ...... with you"
As he spoke, silver lightning shone from under the robe in his right hand.
"Well, your temper is exactly like his."
The old voice sighed, and suddenly let out an invisible chirp, and the sound reached Xia Zhicicada's ears.
It's like someone hit him on the head with a hammer.
"Ahh
"Xia Zhi Cicada ......"
The old voice word by word, every word was like an iron nail smashed into Xia Zhiciao's soul, making him feel tearing pain:
"Are you ......?"
Xia Zhicicada had already fainted in pain, but the invisible force continued to stimulate his soul, so much so that blood beads were spilled in his seven orifices.
“…… The reincarnation of Yan Chixia. ”
