Chapter 45: The Vigil
Red Chrysanthemum crossed her hands on her waist and scolded: "Oh, you stinky Taoist, I am kind enough to save you, not only do you not appreciate me, but you also hurt people!"
"Can you two stop arguing for now, it's important to save people. The civet cat mediated in the middle.
"However, now there is a problem, how can we rescue all these people?" The civet cat looked at the red chrysanthemum and said, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to let them fake their deaths first, and then come out of the enchantment?"
"It's easy to do. With that, she took out a hemp rope from the cloth pocket on her back and threw it into the enchantment. Red Chrysanthemum smiled and said, "You hurry up and tie this hemp rope, and after you take the medicine and fake your death, I will pull you out." ”
Everyone in the barrier immediately cooperated to tie the hemp rope to their bodies.
Then, Red Chrysanthemum took out a bottle of fake death medicine from the bag and threw it into the enchantment and said, "Hurry up and take it!"
After Xia Bing and the others took the fake death medicine of Red Chrysanthemum, it didn't take long for them to faint.
"Quick, help us pull them all out!" said the red chrysanthemum, and immediately went over and grabbed the exposed hemp rope.
At this time, Bai Wei and the civet cat also caught up and helped the red chrysanthemum pull the hemp rope.
Red Chrysanthemum's method really worked, and all the people who faked their deaths were successfully pulled out of the enchantment.
Everyone was relieved that they had finally rescued everyone in the barrier.
At this time, the civet cat stared at the red chrysanthemum curiously and asked, "Sister Hua, how did you know that this enchantment could not isolate the inanimate dead things?"
Red Chrysanthemum pretended to be deep and said: "Well, this... In fact, when I was walking the rivers and lakes with my master in the past, I once saw someone set up this kind of enchantment. ”
"Oh, really?" said the civet with a wink.
"Hmm. At that time, there were also people who used this kind of enchantment to trap several living people. Red Chrysanthemum paused and continued, "I remember when I first saw this kind of enchantment, I didn't know that it could only trap living creatures. Later, by chance, a peach fell from the peach tree on the barrier, and I discovered the secret, and then I rescued these people in the same way I just did. ”
Bai Wei on the side frowned and said, "This kind of enchantment is so strange, and the production method is a bit perverted, it is actually made by the method of sealing ghosts." ”
"Yes. Who is the demon Dao named Qing Shui that Xia Bing said just now?" The civet said strangely: "Where did he learn this method of making enchantments, so perverted?"
Red Chrysanthemum frowned and said, "It's not clear. I clearly remember that the person who set up the barrier back then had been killed by my master. That man was so evil that he not only killed many people, but he almost killed me. The master was afraid that he would harm people again, so he killed him. ”
"But... The civet paused and continued, "But, how can this evil art appear again now?
Red Chrysanthemum waved her hand to indicate that she was not clear.
"We'll talk about that later. Let's think about how to escape from this green dragon temple first. After all, a few of them haven't woken up yet, and there are only three of us here, how can we take them away?" Bai Wei said.
Red Chrysanthemum nodded and said, "Not bad." The effect of my medicine was so strong that they wouldn't wake up for a while. ”
"What?!Why do you use such a strong medicine?Sister Hua?" the civet said puzzled.
"They have to be 'dead' to get out of it safely, or they can't fool the barrier. Red Chrysanthemum paused and continued, "However, it is not a hassle to take these people away. ”
With that, she silently recited the incantation in her mouth, and with a wave of one hand, the paper figures in the enchantment ran out of it.
"Children, pick up the men on the ground and come with us. Red Chrysanthemum commanded the paper figures.
The paper man seemed to understand her words, lifted Xia Bing and the others followed the red chrysanthemum.
"Where are we going?" asked the civet.
"I can't stay in this temple, so let's put these people in my paper shop for the time being. Otherwise, the guy who was found out by Qing Shui would be a killer again. ”
"Okay, let's go. ”
Then, the three of them took the paper man carrying Xia Bing and them, and ran all the way back towards the paper shop.
"By the way, Sister Hua, what should I do if the soul of the Taoist priest dies in the enchantment?" said the civet panting as she ran.
"Well, let's talk about it later, they're dead anyway, and Qing Shui can't kill them again. Red Chrysanthemum wiped the sweat from her body and said, "When these people are settled, I will find a way to ask the master how to dissolve that enchantment and rescue the ghost trapped inside." ”
The three of them were fast, and the paper people behind them followed fast enough, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the paper shop.
Red Chrysanthemum commanded the paper figures to carry Xia Bing and them to the big bed inside, and then ran into the kitchen.
It didn't take long for her to bring out a large basin of steaming noodles and place it on the large table outside with a "bang".
"You two should also come and eat a little, I guess you won't be able to rest tonight, eat something and replenish your strength." Red Chrysanthemum put three pairs of chopsticks on the table, then served herself a bowl of noodles and ate it in a big gulp.
The civet cat couldn't help but purr when she saw her eating so deliciously.
She glanced at the red chrysanthemum embarrassedly, and then shyly filled herself and Bai Wei with a bowl of rice.
After eating the noodles, Red Chrysanthemum took out a yin and yang gossip mirror and cast a spell on the mirror.
At this time, the figure of a woman appeared in the yin and yang gossip mirror.
I saw that the woman was wearing a very delicate pink dress, and her face was covered with a pink face scarf, and a pale pink lotus flower was embroidered on the face scarf.
Seeing the beauty in the yin and yang gossip mirror, the civet suddenly sighed and said, "Sister Hua, I was looking forward to it for a long time, and I thought your master would be a handsome guy, but I didn't expect it to be a woman." ”
"Don't make a fuss. Red Chrysanthemum looked at the pink-clothed woman in the yin and yang gossip mirror and said, "Master, don't be like her, she's just a little girl." ”
"Get down to business. The woman in pink spoke sternly, without a beak.
"Okay, that's right, master. ”
Red Chrysanthemum slowly said what had just happened to the woman in pink in front of her.
"What?!You said that kind of enchantment appeared again?Didn't I kill that monster more than ten years ago??How could it have reappeared?" The woman in pink seemed very surprised when she heard her words.
Red Chrysanthemum said in a deep voice: "This time it is not the monster that appeared last time, but someone else." is a very strange Taoist priest, looking at the Taoist skills he practiced, they are also some side ways, and the disciples don't know his origin at present. ”
"You just said that he made some dead people's souls into an enchantment again?" said the woman in pink seriously.
"Yes. The apprentice didn't know how to save those souls, so he dared to disturb the master. ”
The woman in pink pondered for a moment and said, "Well, something specific needs to be needed to dissolve that barrier. Moreover, these things are very difficult to find, and I searched for a long time before I got them together. ”
"What do you need?" said the three of them in unison.
The woman in pink paused and said, "You need to gather the big pearls of the South China Sea, the nine-colored antlers, and the two scales, and you also need to find the ancient divine wood, and then grind these things into powder, melt them into water, and splash them on the enchantment, so that the enchantment can be completely destroyed." ”
"It's so troublesome. The civet sighed and said, "I do have one of the nine-colored deer, but where can I find this big pearl of the South China Sea, the two scales, and the ancient sacred tree?"
"Yes, master, how did you find these things back then?" said Red Chrysanthemum in surprise.
"You don't have to worry about this, you have your own way for the teacher. The woman in pink waved her hand towards the red chrysanthemum: "You are responsible for providing the nine-colored antlers, and I will slowly gather the rest." ”
Bai Wei, who had not spoken, spoke at this time: "Master, I have one here for the South China Sea Pearl, if you can't find it, use my one." ”
"Good. You guys get busy first. ”
After that, the woman in pink disappeared from the yin and yang gossip mirror.
"Hey, when did you have such a rare treasure?" Bai Shangxian?" the civet cat looked at Bai Weidao curiously.
Bai smiled and said, "A friend gave it to me a few years ago. ”
The civet cat sighed and said, "However, it's a pity that such a precious thing is ground into powder." ”
"It's a pity, in order to save the souls of those dead Dao Masters, sacrificing a true pearl is nothing. ”
"Oh well. The civet pursed her lips, stared at the red chrysanthemum and said, "Sister Hua, your master is so mysterious, has she been wearing that scarf? Have you ever seen her?"
Hong Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "The master has never been willing to show her true face, and even I have never seen her true face." ”
"Okay. ”
Then, the three of them decided to go their separate ways, the civet cat went back to get the nine-colored antlers, while Bai Wei went back to the blue sea fairyland to get the big pearl of the South China Sea, leaving the red chrysanthemum to watch the unconscious people.
This night, the red chrysanthemum did not fall asleep and remained vigilant at all times.
Listening to Xia Bing, the reason why Qing Shui killed those Taoist priests was to prevent Xia Bing from investigating the tortoiseshell leaving the Blue Sea Wonderland.
Therefore, including red chrysanthemums, the rest of the people who have had close contact with tortoiseshells in the human world will be in danger of their lives.
Therefore, since she knew about this, she did not dare to slack off for a moment.
In addition to himself, there are those who have passed out in this paper shop, and if Qing Shui finds here, he may not be able to beat him.
Thinking of this, Hong Chrysanthemum suddenly regretted that she had confiscated a single apprentice over the years, and she decided that she must accept a few more apprentices as helpers in the future.
In the second half of the night, Red Chrysanthemum suddenly felt a little cold, so she went into the kitchen and boiled a large pot of hot water.
Then, she made herself a pot of flower tea.
After drinking a few sips of flower tea, I finally had a warmth in my heart.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
This night, Qing Shui didn't come to the door, at least, they were safe for the time being.
