29 Basilisk
Although Xie Wanyou was a little surprised in his heart, he still pretended not to know on his face, and calmly returned the book he picked up to Si Wu.
Si Wu was still cowering, his eyes were evasive, he shrunk his shoulders and didn't dare to look at Xie Wanyou, he only whispered thank you in the gap between taking the book, and then buried his head and left quickly, as if there was a ghost chasing behind him.
Luo Ruxi looked back at his hurried back, and said helplessly: "This Senior Brother Si has never been very talkative, maybe he is more introverted." β
After she finished speaking, she pulled Xie Wanyou over and asked, "How is it, did it hurt just now?" β
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." Xie Wanyou shook his head, recalling the silver-gray snake tail that had just flashed by, and asked hesitantly, "Senior sister, is Si Wu also a demon clan?" β
Hearing this, Luo Ruxi said confusedly: "I haven't heard that Little Senior Brother Siwu is a demon clan, why did you suddenly ask that, Little Senior Sister?" β
Her tone was slightly serious: "If the little junior brother of Siwu is really a demon clan, he needs to report truthfully to the elders when he enters the sect, our Bixiao Dan Sect is different from the Hehuan Sect, the Hehuan Sect has a high tolerance for foreign races, and it is common for the Demon Clan to be accepted as a disciple, but the Bixiao Dan Sect is different-"
Luo Ruxi lowered her voice and said, "Demon Clan...... After all, they are alien races, and if they have ill intentions, they may pose a threat to the sect, so before joining the sect, the sect will investigate their background to ensure the safety of the disciples in the sect. β
Xie Bangyou expressed his understanding, because not all of the demon clans are good demons, and a large part of the demon clan even regards humans as food, and increases their cultivation by eating people's hearts and human flesh.
If the sect let this kind of murderous demon clan in, it would be tantamount to luring wolves into the house.
If Si Wu is also a demon clan, then why did he hide his demon clan identity when he entered the sect?
The more Xie Wanyou thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he told Luo Ruxi what he had just discovered.
Luo Ruxi was also a little uneasy after hearing this: "But...... Before a disciple enters the sect, he will be tested by a trial stone, if he is really a demon clan, how can he not even test his demon qi with a trial stone? β
The two looked at each other, and both saw the uncertainty in each other's eyes.
Luo Ruxi immediately pulled Xie Wanyou to change direction: "Let's go to the Yuxiao Hall to find the master to explain this matter first, and then borrow the book." β
"Okay." Xie Wanyou followed Luo Ruxi for a few steps, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Wait, can we use the communication charm to contact the master directly?" β
"yes, I forgot about it!" Luo Ruxi suddenly realized, and took out the communication charm: "Let's go, let's go to the small road with few people over there." β
Xie Wanyou nodded, and suddenly felt the heat source of the plush on her neckβit was Xiao Bai, who had been squatting on her shoulder, coming closely.
Noticing that the little thing seemed to be a little nervous, Xie Wanyou's eyes moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Xiaobai, what's wrong?" β
Xiaobai's paws tightly grabbed Xie Wanyou's clothes, and his little nose sniffed in the air: "Yes...... It's the smell of that weird uncle. β
What!
Xie Bangyou's hairs stood on end in an instant, and he suddenly pulled Luo Ruxi beside him.
Luo Ruxi staggered back a few steps, and before she could say anything, a thick snake tail covered with silver-gray scales suddenly appeared in her field of vision, almost grazing the tip of her nose and slamming it on the ground vigorously.
Luo Ruxi was stunned.
If she hadn't been dragged by Xie Wanyou, it is estimated that she would have been hit by the snake's tail!
Xie Wanyou saw that the snake tail was raised again, and she was about to strike sideways, but when she saw that the situation was not good, she immediately dragged Luo Ruxi to hide behind a rockery and squatted down: "Senior sister, contact Shizun!" β
As soon as the words fell, the rockery behind them shook violently, and countless rubble rolled down.
Xie Wanyou hurriedly put the Xiaobai on his shoulder into his sleeve, and hurriedly instructed: "Xiaobai stay well, don't come out!" β
Luo Ruxi, who was beside her, shook her hand and opened the communication charm, and after a while, she slowly turned her head and said with a sad expression: "Communication ...... I can't send it! Cut off by an unknown force! β
Xie Bangyou: "......"
What is the house leak happened to rain overnight, this is it!
When the protagonist in a horror movie encounters an emergency, he will always fail to unlock the door and make a call.
Xie Bangyou didn't expect that this unfortunate situation would also fall on his head one day!
The rockery behind him made a loud noise again, Xie Bangyou and Luo Ruxi hugged their heads together, Luo Ruxi said in despair: "No one has noticed such a big movement here?" β
Xie Bangyou: "Is it possible...... What means did he use to isolate this place from the outside? "So the communication can't be sent, and no one outside notices anything strange here.
Luo Ruxi was incoherent: "Then what should we do next?" No, I'm looking for my life-saving magic weapon, I spent a lot of money to buy it, and I will definitely be able to deal with Si Wu......"
When Luo Ruxi was frantically rummaging through the Qiankun bag, suddenly, the shaking of the rockery stopped.
This was followed by the rattle of scales as they scraped against the stone.
The surroundings seemed to become more and more silent, except for the sound of snakes crawling.
Finally, the voice stopped above their heads.
ββ¦β¦β
Xie Wanyou and Luo Ruxi swallowed their saliva in unison, slowly and slowly raised their heads, and a pale and gloomy face came into their eyes.
The blood-red vertical snake pupils and sharp fangs were only a line away from the top of their heads, almost touching their faces.
His blood-red snake pupils moved, and a long crimson snake letter spat out from his lips, licking directly to Xie Wanyou's face.
"Senior sister...... Are you looking for me? β
Xie Bangyou: "......"
What a horror movie plot this is!
Xie Wanyou could imagine that when she and Luo Ruxi were squatting behind the rockery, Si Wu was coiled on the rockery, hanging his upper body from the top of their heads, and peeping maliciously.
She was covered in a chill, Luo Ruxi didn't let it go, and after letting out a scream, she subconsciously clenched her fists and gave Si Wu an uppercut.
Si Wu didn't seem to expect Luo Ruxi's stress reaction to be so violent, and he couldn't take precautions, and he was really hit by Luo Ruxi.
He had to cover his face and distance himself from them.
Xie Wanyou grabbed this gap, and pointed into a blade, injected ice spiritual power, and slashed towards his exposed neck.
Hit the snake and hit the seven inches!
The sharp aura was no less than the blade of the sword, and a bloody hole opened on his neck in an instant.
Dark red blood spurted out.
Si Wu hissed sharply in pain, covered his bloody neck with one hand, and the whole snake fell to the ground, rolling with its tail rolled.
Xie Wanyou noticed from the first glance that Si Wu's cultivation realm was at least above Yuanying, and they would definitely not be able to deal with it.
So they have only one way - escape!
Xie Wanyou didn't dare to delay, so he picked up Luo Ruxi and ran in the direction he was coming.
Si Wu, who was left behind, seemed to catch up again, the sound of snakes was endless, Xie Wan scolded secretly, he was cut on the neck, how could he still have the energy to chase them!?
Suddenly, a sound of breaking the sky came, Luo Ruxi shouted loudly, and Xie Wanyou felt that he couldn't pull Luo Ruxi.
Looking back, Luo Ruxi had a silver-gray snake tail wrapped around her waist, dragging her back.
And Si Wu stood expressionlessly not far away, and the cut on his neck had actually recovered as before.
What kind of terrifying resilience is this? Are all the creatures in the cultivation realm so terrifying!
Xie Wanyou held Luo Ruxi tightly and didn't let go, trying to negotiate with Si Wu: "Senior brother, calm down, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it!" β
Luo Ruxi pulled Xie Wanyou's hand, raised her head and shouted, "Yes, don't get excited!" β
Hearing this, Si Wu's pair of straight blood-red snake pupils moved, twisted his neck treacherously, and the snake letter poked out: "Who can keep secrets better than dead people?" β
As soon as Luo Ruxi heard this, tears burst out, and her heart was full of "It's over, it's over, it's over, I know too much, I'm going to die"!
The snake tail that wrapped around Luo Ruxi's waist and abdomen was forced, and Luo Ruxi was dragged back by a meter with Xie Wanyou.
Xie Wanyou said calmly: "Bixiao's disciples have corresponding soul lamps in the sect, if you kill us, the soul lamps will also be extinguished, and when the time comes, it will alarm the elders and sect masters, wouldn't it be even more worth the loss?" β
Si Wu seemed to be persuaded by her, and muttered to himself, "What should I do then...... How can my sister keep my secret? β
Xie Wanyou gritted his teeth: "We can swear that the monk's oath is bound by the laws of heaven, and if we violate it, we will be punished by heaven!" β
Luo Ruxi also hurried: "Yes, I can also swear not to reveal your secret to others!" β
"Humans are cunning." Si Wu tilted his head, and the snake tail suddenly entangled Luo Ruxi layer by layer, and then dragged her whole person in front of him, and the surplus snake tail wrapped around Xie Wanyou's hands and dragged her over.
Xie Wanyou didn't know what Si Wu had done, Luo Ruxi suddenly fainted, and after Si Wu let go of the snake's tail and put her on the ground, he tightly wrapped Xie Wanyou around.
The cold snake scales pressed against the skin, stirring up a layer of goosebumps, Xie Wanyou endured the discomfort, and was wary of Si Wu's next move.
Si Wu just stared at her with those blood-red snake pupils, and in an instant, his upright pupils suddenly turned pure black.
All the light seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness under his eyes, and Xie Wangyou's consciousness was like those beams of light that fell into his eyes, and was also dragged by the whirlpool, falling into the bizarre picture.
In front of me, there are constantly flashing pictures.
Feng Randay's fox tail tied with a bow, the warm palm that Shizun fell on her head, Xiaobai who was sleeping peacefully on her pillow, and the perfect elixir that fell into her hands on the trial Dabi...... Further back, the flashing scene was getting faster and faster, she split the gate of the Xie family, walked backwards through the streets and alleys of Lintian City, and returned to the gloomy courtyard of the Xie family's back house.
Wang Pozi smirked and poured a basin of cold water on her head, struggling to wake up from the chaos.
Xie Bangyou knew that Si Wu was peeking at her memory, and as the sense of peeping deepened, Xie Bangyou could perceive that Si Wu would soon be able to "see" her memories in modern times.
This is her biggest secret, and Xie Wanyou will never allow anyone to snoop on her.
Out of nowhere, a force emerged, Xie Bangyou used it to fight back suddenly, and in the next second, a sharp howl sounded in her ears, and the snake tail that was tightly wrapped around her body suddenly loosened.
Xie Wanyou fell to the ground, the sky was spinning in front of him, and layers of ghosts appeared, and Si Wu's long howl seemed to come from a far away, falling in Xie Wanyou's ears, turning into a noisy buzzing sound.
Xie Wanyou felt a swelling pain in his head, and even a feeling of nausea in his stomach.
She retched and wanted to throw up.
In the chaotic sight, Xie Bangyou seemed to see a white cat head approaching, and it was anxiously saying something to her, but Xie Wanyou couldn't hear a word.
In the whirlwind, all the scenes seemed to be distorted, Xiao Bai's back running away wildly and Si Wu's writhing snake tail were mixed together, like a kaleidoscope picture in front of Xie Wanyou's eyes.
Xie Wanyou felt that the snake tail was so annoying, so she blocked her from looking at the cat's head, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pulled it hard.
Don't stop Xiaobai!
Xie Wanyou was already dizzy, and he was even more dizzy when he was flung around by the snake's tail.
The unknown force was still swimming on her, and Xie Wanyou subconsciously used it against the snake again.
In an instant, various pictures flashed in front of Xie Wanyou's eyes again, but this time, these pictures were not her memories.
This is Siwu's memory.
Dark and bloody cages, cries one after another, whips that keep falling, mountains of corpses.
Si Wu cowered in the corner of the formation, the snake scales gradually turning into legs, he raised his head in pain and struggled, the chains on his wrists and neck clanging sound.
Fragmentary voices came intermittently:
"Very good, smooth transformation......"
"Go to Bixiao Danzong...... Will...... Steal it out. β
"Be sure to be in ...... Before...... Otherwise......"
Xie Wanyou didn't hear the next words clearly, her eyes went dark, and her consciousness fell into the darkness.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Xie Bangyou began to have that dream again.
She was locked in a small confinement room in the orphanage, hugging her knees, looking up at the quiet starry sky outside the iron window, the stars in the sky, the only existence that accompanied her through countless long nights.
But this time, the dream was a little different.
The brightest white star in the night sky fell from the night and into her arms, turning into a white cat's head.
It looked up at her and called softly: "Mother~"
Xie Wan was woken up by the cat's head sweetly.
She slowly opened her eyes, feeling sore.
"Mother!" Xie Xiaobai, who had been guarding the pillow, found that she woke up, and immediately shook her tail excitedly, came up to Xie Bangyou and rubbed and licked, Xie Bangyou smiled and hugged it, and kissed its little head: "Mother just dreamed of Xiaobai." β
"Probably because when you were still asleep, Xiaobai kept calling you." Suddenly, a warm male voice came from the side.
Xie Wanyou turned his head and saw an unexpected person: "Senior brother? You're back! β
Wen Linjian nodded, with a gentle smile on her handsome face: "Isn't it unexpected?" β
Wen Linjian was already a seventh-grade alchemist, in order to collect the materials for refining the eighth-grade pill, not long after the trial conference, Wen Linjian invited himself to leave the sect and went out to collect alchemy materials, Xie Wanyou really didn't expect him to come back so soon.
Xie Wanyou just wanted to ask, but suddenly remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, and the question he said suddenly changed: "How is Senior Sister?" And Siwu - did you catch him? β
"Don't worry, Ruxi is fine, she is afraid that you will be thirsty when you wake up, so she will go out and get you water." At the mention of Si Wu, Wen Linjian frowned slightly: "Thanks to Xiaobai's timely report, Si Wu was finally caught, and now he is imprisoned in the dungeon of the Dan League, and he has been interrogated for a round, but nothing has been asked." β
Xie Wanyou hugged Xiaobai, and frowned when he heard the words: "What did he say?" β
Wen Linjian said: "He said that he was just afraid that you would reveal the secret of his demon clan, and that the sect would drive him out because of this, so he made this decision." β
Is it just because he is afraid of being kicked out of the sect after revealing his identity?
This reason seems to be tenable, but Xie Wanyou doesn't believe it very much.
Bixiao Dan Sect is not the kind of sect that treats foreign races in a one-size-fits-all manner, if he reports it truthfully, and the sect is correct after review, he can stay openly, why act so secretively?
Wen Linjian obviously thought the same way: "So Dan Meng has not released Si Wu for the time being, and there will be a retrial next." β
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Luo Ruxi came in with a pot of water, and when she saw Xie Bangyou waking up, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she put down the kettle and rushed over and hugged Xie Bangyou: "Little sister, you finally woke up!" β
Xie Wanyou was hugged by her senior sister, and she was still familiar with enthusiasm.
Xiao Bai, who was originally in Xie Wanyou's arms, was squeezed in the middle by them, and finally struggled to get out, Xiao Bai shook his messy hair, looked around, and was a little confused.
Wen Linjian felt that the spirit pet raised by the little junior sister was cute, so he beckoned to it tentatively, Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, then jumped on Wen Linjian's lap, held his tail and began to lick his hair.
It took Luo Ruxi a long time before letting go of Xie Wanyou: "Are you still uncomfortable now?" β
Xie Wanyou felt it, the symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus disappeared, except for a little soreness in her hands and feet, she didn't have any special feelings: "It's gone-what about you, senior sister, are you hurt?" β
Speaking of this, Luo Ruxi scratched her head, and was a little embarrassed: "It's strange to say, after I woke up, everyone said that the two of us fought to the death with the snake demon, but I don't remember what happened at that time...... If I had been injured, it must have hurt my brain. β
Luo Ruxi looked a little confused: "When they said that the junior brother Siwu was a snake demon, I didn't react, how could he be a demon clan, I remember very clearly, he must be a human race." β
Xie Wanyou was stunned.
She suddenly remembered the feeling of Si Wu snooping on her memories, and since he could snoop on memories, could he also erase themβor even tamper with them?
Xie Wanyou took a deep breath and asked, "Then Senior Sister, why are you sure that Si Wu is a human race?" β
Luo Ruxi was about to open her mouth to say the reason, but when the words came to her mouth, she choked again.
She thought confusedly, yes, why was she so sure that Si Wu was a human race? She couldn't think of any evidence.
Xie Wanyou confirmed that Si Wu did have the ability to tamper with memories.
But for some reason, this ability didn't work when it was used on her, and instead caused him to be backfired......
[is a psychic attack]
The system suddenly spoke, Xie Wanyou instantly came back to his senses, and communicated with it in his mind: "You mean, Si Wu used mental power to attack me?" β
As soon as the system reminded him like this, Xie Wanyou understood what was going on.
Si Wu attacked her with mental power, wanting to tamper with her memory, but he never expected that Xie Wangyou's spiritual power would be stronger than him, and when he attacked like this, he was instinctively counterattacked by Xie Wangyou's mental power.
"So later, my spiritual power also invaded his memory?"
The system did not deny it.
Xie Wanyou's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then can I invade his memory again and see his true purpose clearly?" β
[The system advises you not to do this] The system said indifferently: [If you want to be a fool]
Xie Wanyou recalled the feeling of the world spinning, and said, "Is that what it feels like to overuse spiritual power...... It seems a bit like a concussion. β
System: [...... In short, you are good at doing it yourself, don't abuse your mental power. ]
After the system said this, it was silent again.
Xie Wanyou pondered, originally she thought that spiritual power could only be used for alchemy, but she didn't expect that it could be used as an attack.
Her mental power is stronger than most people, if she can master the method of mental power attack...... It's also a great hole card.
Luo Ruxi saw that the little junior sister stopped talking, she was a little panicked, she was not stupid, and guessed at once: "Has my memory been changed by Si Wu?" There won't be any other sequelae! β
Wen Linjian also frowned slightly, gently put Xiaobai on the bed, stood up and said, "I'll go and ask the master to come over." β
During Wen Linjian's departure, Xie Wanyou retold the situation to Luo Ruxi.
Luo Ruxi couldn't remember it at all, she just felt strange.
Xie Wanyou touched her head and sighed: "It's good that you can't remember, I see that you were scared at the time, if you remember, it is estimated that there will be some psychological shadow on the snake in the future." β
As soon as he looked up, he saw the terrifying memory of the miserable white face, and Xie Wanyou sincerely hoped that Luo Ruxi would not think about it again.
Luo Ruxi heard the little junior sister say this, and suddenly shuddered: "Then I'd rather not remember ......"
