Chapter 116: Inner Demon
"Qiong Yi, does your head still hurt?"
Zhu Yunluo's soft and immature voice sounded in her ears, and Qiong Ye only felt that the wet towel on her forehead was taken away, and then a cool little hand touched her forehead, and then there was a little sound of water, and the towel became wet and cold again, and returned to her head.
Zhu Yunluo took her hand, feeling someone by her side, and Qiong Yi's frowning brows relaxed.
"Hey. This kid has been having a fever since a few nights ago, and he's still talking nonsense, what should I do? β
"Old Chen, please have a doctor."
"The doctor invited me, and the medicine was prescribed, but the fever couldn't go away......"
"It's so fast, let's rest again. Let Xiao Qiong lie down alone, Ah Luo, come out quickly, and let my sister sleep alone. β
"Qiong also said that she was afraid, I will accompany her, Ah Gong, I will accompany her."
"Don't bother her, come out."
"Okay. Qiong Yi, you sleep for a while, when you get better tomorrow, let's go pick peas again, I will wait for you, I won't go first alone, you can sleep well. β
The people in the room walked out one by one, and the door slowly closed, and the light cut in diagonally was swallowed up inch by inch.
Only she and it remained.
No......
No......
Don't let me ...... A ...... alone
Six-year-old Joan was lying on a large wooden bed, sobbing, but she couldn't make a sound, her body couldn't move, her head was dizzy, and the scene in front of her was constantly changing.
Arlo...... Uncle......
I'm scared......
She saw through her tears that there was a gray-white shadow with loose hair, sometimes giggling, sometimes shaking. The figure was about the same size as her, with only half a head on its neck, and its gray clothes were covered with patches, faintly bleeding blood: "Hehehehe, are you awake?" Play with me......"
Joan couldn't remember when she encountered it, maybe it was the day before yesterday, maybe it was yesterday, her head hurt badly, and fear surrounded her, irritating her to go insane and in a trance.
Sneakily walking on the beams of the house, and jumped down again, seeing that Joan also did not have the reaction of crying and fussing a few days ago, she was a little angry, jumped on the bed and choked her neck, and listened to her almost suffocating cough before letting go and laughing, Joan also curled up without moving, and it kicked and bit angrily, listening to her cry for help, and dancing happily.
Joan also cowered in the corner, her hands and feet getting colder and colder, sneakily tugging at her hands, her nails digging deep into the flesh, and she said, "Play with me......"
She was dragged off the bed by it, hung on the beam, pushed her down, and caught her again when she was about to fall to the ground, and Joan was also burned to the delirium, and after several times, it was a mistake by the imp, which made her fall to the ground and lose her breath. The sneaky one was furious, thinking that she was pretending to be asleep and trying to wake her up, but Joan remained motionless, like a doll at the mercy of others.
"Wake up, wake up quickly......"
The little ghost went to roll her eyelids, but saw that she really fainted, raised the black palm and put it on her forehead, and in an instant, Joan also shuddered, like falling into a deep valley to wake up, and what caught her eye was a very tight grimace, laughing at herself, the remaining half of its face was white, the other half of the sunken and mutilated part was crimson and broken, the necrotic eyeballs were still dripping, and in the grinning mouth, the half-cut tongue was swaying left and right.
She screamed, shrunk back, tears rolled down her face, and she wanted to speak but was secretly gagged with her fist: "You hide, I'll come to you......"
It grabbed Qiong Yi's arm hard and said with a smile: "If you find it, you will eat it......"
Joan was blind, she had been frightened by it, and when the little ghost saw that she didn't move, she bared her teeth and made a strange noise, and she shivered violently again, sobbing and looking for a corner to cover her body.
"Hide, hide......"
The sneaky sang in its extremely ugly voice, "I'm coming, looking for you......"
Joan also shrank in the corner of the wooden cabinet and shivered, the whole room was dark and large, but the wooden cabinet was narrow and small, there was a smell of dust and old wood in it, and there were small webs woven by spiders in the corners of the cabinet, perhaps ants had crawled, rats had drilled, causing a rustling sound. Joan's small body was trembling all the time, and she heard the sneaky singing of the ballad getting closer and closer.
"Boom! - Knock knock! βββ
There was a bang from the wooden cabinet door.
"Are you in there......" The little ghost's thin voice was very harsh, its voice seemed to be heard only by Qiong Yi, the sound of banging on the door covered by a sound, she became more and more panicked in her heart, more and more scared, the next moment, the cabinet door was "clicked" open, sneakily stretched her neck, and put her head in front of her:
"Found you......"
"Ahh βββ
Qiong Yi, who was awakened by the nightmare, was in a cold sweat, and it was dark all around, she closed her eyes and whimpered in a low voice, Zhu Yunluo was woken up by her scream, and asked, "What's wrong?" Joan also. β
"Aluo, there's... There are ghosts ......" Qiong also cried to her, but when she looked closely, the one standing behind Zhu Yunluo was not the little ghost who was missing half of her head! Qiong also screamed again and again, only to see Zhu Yunluo's face gradually melt like ice meets fire, her eyes and nose fell down one by one, and her mouth fell next to the pillow, but she was still talking, no, not talking, but singing ghost songs.
It's the song it just sang.
Joan was so frightened that her hands and feet didn't look like her own, so she got out of bed like crazy and pushed the door and ran out, outside the door was the door, and pushed the door out, but the door was still the door, layer upon layer, and she didn't know where she was. Joan also stood in a daze, and the sneaky laughter surrounded her: "Heeheββββ"
"Hahahahahaββββha
She didn't dare to open her eyes again, covered her face and retreated, "bang" into something, raised her eyes to see that it was Uncle Chen, tears flowed down like a stream, reaching out to hug, Uncle Chen looked at herself with a smile, but did not speak, when she looked carefully, the flesh on Uncle Chen's body melted little by little, turned into blood and flowed down, and finally became a skeleton standing in place, a pair of empty eyes but still looking at herself.
Joan shook her head violently, her hands trembled, her breathing became more and more difficult, and she fell to the ground with a "plop".
She didn't know how long she had been lying, and when she woke up, she couldn't hear the sneaky laughter anymore, but the call of a boy.
Standing up slowly, she followed the sound and walked forward step by step in the darkness, Joan also saw a little boy sitting on the ground with his knees and his head buried, she was a little scared, afraid that he would look up again, but when he raised his head, she saw it, no.
She asked him: Who are you?
He didn't answer, and seemed a little dazed.
Joan also lowered her head: ...... It's so dark here, I'm so scared.
He stood up and held out his hand to her: two, better.
Joan did not know him, and did not give his hand to him, but he said, "I am not afraid."
He also said, "I'm looking for you."
Joan was also a little puzzled: Looking for me?
He nodded and called out to her: Qiong Yi.
Joan also felt a little strange, she had never met him, but he knew his name. When he hesitated, he had already walked to his side and took his hand.
Suddenly, the things in front of her began to change, the boy's figure quickly rose up, and Joan also found that her vision was higher and farther, from childhood to girl, she suddenly realized that she knew him.
The scene on the side is constantly changing:
"You're so scared? That's just a little ghost, it can scare you like this, because you are still the personal disciple of the Lu Sect Master. β
"There is no need to blame yourself, for everyone is afraid."
"Qiong Yi, don't worry. I'm here, don't be afraid. β
"If you can't be 'not afraid', then be afraid. I'm always there. β
β¦β¦
Sheng Xuanyan looked at himself in front of him, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and said, "I'm looking for you." β
"Qiong Yi, where are you?"
The question was like an initiation, and Joan shuddered violently, sat up, and woke up from her nightmare.
"Are you awake?" Yun Ya sat down on the edge of the bed, Qiong Yi looked at her in a daze, and saw four or five ghost dolls with different appearances around the bed, and her first reaction was no longer to shrink back, but to lift the saber on her waist, but the waist was empty and she didn't touch anything.
Yun Ya raised her hand to probe the temperature of her forehead: "Lu Xi, you are finally awake!" After I asked Yuan'er to return the part of the soul that it had eaten by mistake, you started to have a fever, and it burned for six or seven days, and I thought you were going to die! β
Qiong also opened her hand: "It's not all your fault!" Wait, you say I've been in a coma for seven days? β
"Today is the eighth day!" Yun Ya said dissatisfiedly.
Qiong's heart sank, and she immediately got up and got out of bed: The eighth day? Am I in a coma for so long? Disappeared without warning, and he wouldn't ......
Standing up straight, there was a dizziness in her head, and Yun Ya skillfully supported her: "What's the matter, suddenly so excited?" β
"I've taken care of you for so long, at least say thank you?" Pressing Qiong Yi on the bed, Yun Ya took the bowl of medicine from the ghost doll's hand, "Come on, drink it quickly." You are really weak, you were easily eaten by your soul, and you were almost burned to death, if it weren't for Miss Ben's not a wicked person, you would have become a part of my cultivation. β
Joan was silent, sensing that her body was weak, so she took the medicine and drank it, looking around, it was more like a homestay than an inn. She glanced at the bronze mirror on the table, the person in the mirror was not a disguised mask, but her original appearance, put down the medicine bowl and asked Yun Ya: "Where is my mask?" β
"Here." Yun Ya took out the mask from her arms and said with a smile: "I thought you were not good-looking before, but it was really a disguise." You're more pleasing than my dolls, small, and so beautiful, and you're not the same as us in the North. β
Qiong Yi was full of Sheng Xuan's nightmare that was looking for herself, she took the mask and took it back into her arms, and suddenly thought of something: Sheng Xuan could follow his spirit, and the result was ...... Thinking of this, she immediately rummaged in her arms and sleeves for the jade lily of the valley, but she was really not there.
Since Master Lu Bin told her that the spirit in the jade lily orchid was connected to Sheng Xuan's life, she no longer wore it on her waist, but hid it close to her body.
"Where's my jade ornament? Where did you go! She yelled at Yun Ya in an extremely fierce tone.
Yun Ya suddenly said: "It's that beautiful little jade bell, right?" Qing'er, spit it out. Listening to her order, the ghost doll named Qing'er opened her mouth and spit out the jade lily of the valley and sent it to her.
"This jade ornament is really strange, whose soul is hidden in it? is still very ghostly, Qing'er can't suppress this soul if it is not a demon body. β
Joan also said angrily: "Give it back to me!" β
"You're so strange, why are you so angry? Besides, why do you have such a thing as a sword cultivator? Why don't you give it to me? Before Yun Ya finished speaking, Qiong Yi reached out to grab it, and a true qi condensation slammed her against the wall, grabbed her collar, and shouted: "Say it again, give it back to me!" β
Yun Ya's face was not flustered at all, she made a technique with one hand, and the dark peach light flashed, and Qiong Yi suddenly felt dizzy and ringing, and staggered to fall. Yun Ya chuckled and held her: "That part of your soul has been swallowed by my ghost baby, although it is returned to the body, it is still easy to be manipulated by me in a short period of time, don't think about killing me." But you're so fierce, you don't repay me for taking care of me, hum! β
Qiong Yi shook her head, confronting the strange feeling of the soul, she knew that it would not work, so she slowed down her tone: "Yun Ya, you give it back to me, okay?" It's important to me. β
"Really?" Yun Ya asked, "What kind of magic weapon is this?" β
"It's not a magic weapon, it's a jade ornament given to me by my wife, and the soul inside is also his."
"The soul is his?" Yun Ya exclaimed, "He's dead? Are you a little widow? β
Joan Yi: "? β
