Chapter Eighty-Six: The Trap
It was the first time that Yun Xian had been entrusted with such a big task, she looked at Shen Di and found that the latter was smiling grimly at her, and she was at a loss for a while before she discussed: "Since that ghost baby is going to get in through the door, why don't we make a trap?"
She lowered her head, her fingers moved somehow, and there was a red thread that seemed to be very spiritual around her fingertips, very obedient.
"Did this master teach you?"
"Nope. ”
"Then I'll teach you. Yun said casually, motioning for him to extend a hand. Shen Tu hesitated for a moment before reaching over her left hand and watching the red thread in her hand gently wrap around her hand.
"Master said that this line can catch the ghost, and it will jump on the ghost by itself, but it's good. ”
Shen Tu lowered his head and looked at the red thread on his hand, and then looked at Yun Xian, I don't know what I thought, and a rare flush appeared on my face. The two of them hurriedly spread the red thread around the door like a spider's web. The Taoist chief watched from the rooftop, a little crying and laughing. Now it seems that these two people get along well, and if he is not there in the future, he can rest assured.
"That's fine, isn't it? This ghost can't be seen, right?"
"I can't see it, that little ghost is a baby, and he can't be too smart when he thinks about it?"
What follows is a long waiting process. The process was so boring that Yun casually sat on the railing and yawned, drowsy, and had no interest in catching ghosts. Although there were no lights around, it was also dark, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the moonlight, and she no longer felt afraid.
She glanced at Shendi, who was three feet away from her, in a daze, and put her arm under her head and fell asleep.
Shen Di was still studying the red thread winding around his hand, and he didn't realize that Yun Shu had fallen asleep, so he asked casually, "Senior sister, how long have you been in the teacher's door?"
He didn't get a response for a long time, looked up, saw that she was falling asleep in a very strange position, sighed, and walked lightly to her. I wanted to untie my robe and put it on her, but I was afraid that she would feel cold, so I dragged a quilt out of the next room and put it on her head.
The night was already deep, and if the ghost baby hadn't come, he would almost have thought that what he had seen yesterday was a dream. Yun fell asleep casually, feeling like he was about to suffocate, as if someone was trying to kill him. She suddenly heard the bell on her body ring, and she opened her eyes and jumped up, frantically pulling down the cup over her head, and breathing in the fresh air. Before he could recover from it, he saw that Shen Tu was carrying the ghost baby that had been wrapped in red thread like a rice dumpling, and it trembled and shrunk itself into a ball, quietly being carried by Shen Tu, and it was like two ghosts with grinning teeth yesterday.
It was so fast that it didn't have time for her to react, and it was all over. Yun casually glanced at the quilt that he had thrown aside, and seemed to understand something. She ran to Shen Tu in three steps and two steps, and said excitedly, "Catch it!"
Yesterday everything happened in such a hurry that today she was able to take a closer look at the ghost baby. Its body was an abnormal purple-black, its eyebrows and eyes had not yet grown, and it was uglyly wrinkled, but its teeth were sharp. When it saw the clouds approaching at will, it began to open its teeth and claws again, and was reprimanded by the gods: "Don't move!" before it wilted.
"I've been caught, do you want to tell Master?"
"No, he's still sleeping, so don't wake him up. ”
The Taoist saw these two children muttering for a while below, and Yun casually stepped forward and knocked lightly on Xue Ying's door. The ghost baby didn't know what was stimulating, so he secretly glanced at it, and quietly arched himself, as if he could enter the room more quickly.
Xue Ying saw them come in, and stood up with some difficulty. Yun casually stepped forward and helped her to sit up.
"Now you can take a look, and I'll send it to reincarnation on the third watch. Shen Tu said solemnly.
Xue Ying raised her head, looked around a little blankly, and asked softly, "Where is it?" ”
She was just a mortal and couldn't see ghosts. So there was no one else in the room for her but herself and the two children. Yun casually turned around and asked Shen Tu gently, "What should I do?"
"Uh-huh...... Anyway, the ghost baby is in my hands right now. I kid you not, really. ”
Xue Ying's face was a little bad, and she seemed to be hesitating whether she should believe the two people in front of her. Finally she opened her mouth, tears already rolling in her eyes: "Child......"
She said, "Child, I know you hate me in your heart, but I can't stand you......"
The ghost baby looked up at her with his big eyes, and suddenly began to struggle and roar violently, and Shen Tu almost didn't hold it. Xue Ying saw Shen Di's reaction, two lines of tears rolled down her eyes, and she said excitedly: "Child, did you hear what your mother said? You go and vote for a good family, in the next life, don't meet people like your mother......"
She struggled to support herself to her feet, and at the same time motioned for Yun to use it as she pleaded to the god, "I want to hug it." ”
"No, you can't touch it, and it's too yin. ”
"Just hug it, please. Xue Ying said pleadingly. Shen Tu looked at the ghost baby who was still fluttering in his hand, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just a moment." It's in my hand now, with my face facing you. ”
Xue Ying tentatively stretched out her hand and gently hugged the ghost baby. It was stunned for a while, opened its mouth wide and wanted to go down, then raised its head to look at Xue Ying, whose face was full of tears, and suddenly cried aggrievedly, which startled Shendi.
"Hey, what are you doing, don't cry!" Shen Tu looked at the little baby in his hand helplessly, and shook it in vain. Xue Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly let go of her hand: "What's wrong, what's wrong!"
The ghost baby cried for a while, and suddenly put his hand in his mouth and ate it, looking at Xue Ying smiling sweetly, it didn't take long for him to start crying, the more he cried, the more transparent his body became, and finally disappeared.
"It'...... It's reincarnated," said the god in a deep voice, "and it looks happy." In the next life, I will be born into a good family. ”
"Thank you. Xue Ying squeezed a smile out of her tears and nodded at Shen Di. She didn't know that a ghost couldn't cry, that its tears were burning her soul. When the soul is burned, there is no trace of it, and there will be no trace of it in this world.
"I used to have a husband before I married him," Xue Ying calmed down and said to them, "and then he contracted typhoid fever and died. Only me and my infant child were left. My mother's family wanted me to remarry, and I was afraid that the child would drag me down, so I drowned him in the water tank. When I returned, it was too late. ”
Xue Ying sighed softly, and all the sadness and pain turned into a heavy sigh.
"I didn't expect it to come back to me. From the first time it appeared in my dream, I vaguely guessed that it was my child. Now that I am pregnant again, it must be very angry and sad in its heart, and my mother has left herself like this. ”
"So thank you. Xue Ying said softly, she reached out and gently held Yun Xian's hand: "You helped me untie this knot, and your master must also be a good master." ”
The Taoist chief was lying on the roof, his hands resting behind his head and looking at the sky. When he heard this, he shook his head, but a smile appeared on his face.
Since this ghost baby incident, Yun Yi and Shen Di have really become acquainted. Although Shen Tu called her "Senior Sister", she never responded positively. The two children looked carefree, but the Taoist chief was always thinking about who was behind the woman they met in Weilong Mountain that day.
Today's cool moon is 20, there is no wind, the weather is clear, and it is the seventh birthday of Yun Will. The Taoist had already said that he would give a big gift on her birthday, so she had been looking forward to it for a long time, so he disappeared early. He thought about this for a long time, but he didn't even tell him because he thought that the gods were in the way. Just as he had just walked out of the mountain gate and decided to go down the mountain, Shi Shiran flew down a Qingluan from the sky. There was a little boy sitting on the top of him, and he saluted respectfully, and said crisply: "Tianzun, my Royal Highness invites you." ”
That's where the trouble comes in. Since he saved Shen Di last time and exposed his whereabouts, there are often people from the Heavenly Court who come to disturb him every three or five times, but fortunately, they only know that Tianzun lives in this mountain, and they don't know that there is also Ling Xuguan, otherwise he is not called a seclusion in the mortal world, but a desire to be captured.
This little boy looked chubby and cute, and the Taoist couldn't help but think of Yun Random. The voice softened: "No matter who your Royal Highness is, I am not free today, ask her to make an appointment with me another day." ”
"No, no, no," the little fat man looked a little anxious, he moved a few steps in front of the Dao Chief, and pleaded: "Tianzun just give me a face, otherwise His Royal Highness will be angry with me!"
"Who is Your Highness?" asked the Dao Chief.
"Eldest princess Wenyuan. ”
Woe to you!
These five words were a bolt from the blue for him. He would rather listen to the sermons than see this man again. But before he promised to owe her a favor, how coincidental or not, but today!
"You go and ask your Highness if you can do it tomorrow, I can't get out today. ”
Unexpectedly, when this fairy child heard this, an expression of death appeared on his face. He sighed and took a deep breath, jumped up and hugged the Taoist chief's thigh, and howled loudly: "Woo woo! Tianzun have mercy on me! I haven't eaten for several days! Woo woo! Wow wow wow wow-"
This howl is almost like crying and mourning, and the birds in this forest are probably scared to death. The Taoist looked at him at a loss, his legs were tied by him, and he couldn't even walk, so he said helplessly: "You get up first, tell me how long you are going first!"
The fairy child turned a deaf ear: "Ahhh
"Okay, I promise you, get up for me!" he yelled, and the little fat man instantly picked up all his voices, and respectfully got up and saluted again, motioning for him to follow, as if it was someone else who had been howling just now.
"I wish I could come back soon. Dao Chang sighed and thought to himself.
