Chapter 18 Finds Out
Hongxue nodded approvingly after listening to Lingxin's words, pondered for a moment and said, "Whatever she is! Tomorrow we will go to Zifen's grave to take a look, let's rest early if it's not early!"
Ziying said: "Well, everyone is tired after tossing all night, girl, you should go to bed early!"
"Okay!" Hongxue smiled slightly: "Then you guys should go to bed early!"
Tired and tired, Hongxue returned to bed and fell asleep. When the sky was dark, Hongxue entered a very strange dream.
In the dream, Hongxue walked to a panicked forest, a few dead trees were shrouded in fog, Hongxue couldn't see the road ahead, and vaguely looked at a person under the tree in front of him, waving his hand to himself, and an ethereal voice kept shouting:
"Cher! Come here!"
"Cher, you're finally here...!"
Hongxue walked forward step by step with the voice, and saw a woman in red standing under a tree in the distance. The red snow slowly approached.
"Cher, don't you want me? I've been waiting for you for a thousand years, come here!"
When Hongxue slowly approached, she finally saw the woman's appearance, she covered her mouth in surprise and her body trembled. This woman looks exactly like herself.
She settled down, put down her hand, and asked, "Who are you, why are you the way I am?"
The woman smiled at Hongxue and said, "Xue'er, I'm you, don't you want me, I've been waiting for you here for a thousand years!"
Hongxue shook her head a little frightened and said, "No, you are not me! If you are me, then who am I!"
The woman suddenly grinned weirdly and said, "Of course you're not me, but I'm you!"
Hongxue suddenly felt that something was wrong, and wondered if she had entered some illusion set up by an evil spirit.
Secretly brewing in her palm, a thunder mark formed in her palm, and the thunder mark was quickly knocked out while the woman was not prepared for the red snow. A lightning mark flashed out, and the strange thing was that before the thunder mark hit the woman, the golden light flashed and the thunder mark melted.
Hongxue was shocked in her heart: "This evil spirit is not afraid of the Five Thunder Seals!"
The woman sneered: "Hehe... Cher: I'm you! How did you hurt yourself!"
The woman could hear Hongxue's inner voice, and Hongxue was shocked: "You can actually read my heart!"
The woman smiled: "Hehe...... You and I are one, of course I will know what you want!"
Hongxue was a little stunned by this woman and said disdainfully: "You are you, I am me, I am not as yin and yang as you." ”
The woman stiffened her face and said coldly: "Xue'er... Sooner or later, you'll come to me on your own initiative!" the woman smiled coldly and turned into a wisp of green smoke and retreated.
The illusion receded, and the red snow instantly woke up. If it weren't for Hongxue's cultivation, it would really be impossible to tell if it was a dream or a real thing.
Hongxue got up, patted her head and said, "How could you have such a strange dream, could it be that you have entered the illusion set by Zifen!"
"No! I have to go to Zifen's grave!"
After breakfast, Hongxue and her entourage came to the back mountain according to the place the woman said.
The mountain behind this is extremely quiet, at this time it is noon, but there are only a few gloomy and bleak rays of sunlight in the forest, and there is a fluctuating fog everywhere, and the silence of the woods reveals the breath of death and fear.
Ziying and Lingxin walked in front, followed by Hongxue and Jixiang, although their steps were very light, but in this silent and strange forest, they advanced like breaking through the forbidden land.
Lingxin muttered, "It's almost time to come after walking for so long!"
Ziying said: "It should be around here!"
Suddenly, a shrill bird's cry pierced through the strange woods, and with a "flutter!" sound, the shadow of a large bird flashed out of the woods.
This sudden "flutter!" startled everyone.
Ji Xiang shouted: "This hateful stinky bird, it scared me to death!"
Lingxin looked back and smiled: "Hehe.. You are still an elf, and you are afraid of a bird! You see that Sister Xue'er is frightened by you. ”
Jixiang was very unconvinced and said: "Just how good you are, you haven't been beaten all over the ground by that Zifen!"
Ziying seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly stepped forward quickly.
Hongxue saw Ziying walking to a stone and squatting down, and hurriedly followed, Jixiang and Lingxin also closed their mouths and stepped forward quickly.
Hongxue said, "But what did you find?"
Ziying turned around and said, "It's a stone tablet!"
Ziying continued: "Although this stone tablet is seriously weathered, it is not difficult to see that it is a scripture, and this should be Zifen's tomb. ”
The stele was more than a foot high, and because of the dampness and lack of light, the stone had begun to turn black, and it was covered with green moss, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was engraved with red scriptures, and it stood there solemnly as if it was suppressing something.
Hongxue immediately squatted down to check, Ziying took out a dagger and scraped the moss, and the scriptures looked much clearer.
Hongxue looked at it for a long time, her face condensed, as if she was thinking about something.
Ziying asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"
Hongxue's tone was a little heavy and said: "This is the most yin and evil corpse awakening spell, not some Taoist scripture for suppressing evil spirits. ”
Zi Ying asked with a puzzled expression, "What is the Awakening Curse!"
Hongxue said: "This corpse awakening spell can awaken the corpse of the resentful spirit, once the corpse is awakened, everything is no different from ordinary people except for not breathing. ”
Lingxin said, "Aren't these people going to suppress Zifen, why do they want to awaken the resentful spirit?"
Hongxue said lightly: "This is not the work of those mages, but someone else!"
Ziying said: "What the girl means, this Zifen is just a puppet, and someone is manipulating it behind the scenes!"
Hongxue frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not sure now, let's take a look at what I'm talking about first!"
"Lingxin, quickly bring the shovel you brought," Ziying said quickly.
Lingxin said, "Okay!" Lingxin said, taking off the shovel and hoe from his back.
Hongxue said: "Zifen, if you have a spirit in the sky, don't blame it. We didn't mean to bother, and if you were wronged, I don't think you really wanted to be manipulated!"
After Hongxue finished speaking, she nodded at Jixiang and Lingxin.
Jixiang and Lingxin saw Hongxue's signal and immediately started construction, and a pit came out after a while.
Lingxin jumped into the pit and continued digging, and suddenly he felt as if he had touched something, and on closer inspection it was a rotten straw mat
Lingxin said excitedly: "I dug it!"
Hong Xue Ziying heard Lingxin's words and hurriedly gathered around.
"Open the mat." Hongxue said excitedly.
Lingxin nodded and said, "Okay!"
Because it has been buried in the ground for too long, the smell is suffocating! Lingxin pinched his nose with his hand and slowly opened it, and looked at Hongxue in surprise after opening it.
Hongxue felt bad and hurriedly looked at it, it turned out that there was no Zifen's body in the mat, and there was rotten straw in it.
Lingxin said, "Strange, why is the tomb empty?". ”
Ziying said: "This is very easy to explain, the girl's statement is right, Zifen is not a ghost, but someone has been given a corpse awakening curse." ”
"I've heard my father tell me before that in order to control the resentful spirits, some evil men will use some magic weapons with spiritual power to fix their souls at the heart of the corpse. In this way, it can not only keep the body from decaying, but also use the resentment of the resentful spirits to help them harm others and seek benefits. ”
Ziying said: "No wonder I stabbed her unscathed with a sword, so who controlled her?"
Hongxue frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "This may only be traced if you find Zifen!"
At this time, Ziying noticed that not far behind them, a figure had been staring at them in the dark.
Hongxue shook her head slightly, indicating that there was no need to startle the snake.
Hongxue deliberately raised her voice and said, "I know where Zifen's child is!"
After a while, Hongxue then said to the three of them: "Let's all go back and have a good rest first, and when the time comes, we will go to the ruined temple at the head of the city to find Zifen's child!"
In the blink of an eye, at night, everyone waited quietly for Zifen, sitting on the branch of the tree bored, auspiciously and anxiously going back and forth in the courtyard.
Lingxin said: "Jixiang, can you not turn back and forth! If you don't faint, I'll faint." ”
Ji Xiang said with a disdainful face: "Hey! What does it have to do with you that I turn mine!"
"Okay, don't quarrel anymore, wait for that Zifen to come, see if you still quarrel," Ziying shouted
Ji Xiang looked at Hongxue suspiciously and said, "Hey, Xue'er, do you think this Zifen will come?"
Hongxue said with a firm expression: "If she is really looking for her child, she will definitely come!"
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew, and suddenly the temple door was blown open by the wind.
"Haha...!" I saw Zifen floating into the temple in red, laughing slowly from mid-air, the laughter was harsh and terrifying.
Zifen stared at a few people in the temple and sneered, "Hmph! You didn't say that you seriously injured me that day, but today you actually dug up my grave, it's really damned!
Hongxue said: "You are not Zifen, who are you!"
"Haha.... You're really smart!" Zifen said.
Hongxue said: "Tell me quickly, who is manipulating you behind your back?"
Zifen sneered and said, "Hmph! Manipulate me!
Listening to Zifen's words, Hongxue was a little uneasy, since there was no one to control it, how did Zifen do it. I don't know where my judgment went wrong. Without waiting for Hongxue to think about it, Na Zifen turned into a red lightning bolt.
Seeing this, Ziying and Lingxin immediately greeted him.
In an instant, several rays of light collided in mid-air. The sparks that ignite the night sky.
After a few rounds, Zifen landed calmly and said with a sneer: "Hmph! I let you escape last time, and today I will let you die here together!"
Zifen opened her mouth and spit out a ball of fire, and her whole body was running like a flood of energy, but this time the energy mass transported by the ball was stronger than last time, I don't know how many times, and it rushed out like a volcanic eruption.
Zi Ying and Lingxin felt bad, and hurriedly began to resist luck, Lingxin and Ziying's energy gathered together, forming a white protective wall, two powerful impacts, "bang" A loud bang, the two gases collided with each other, and the powerful air waves caused vibrations around them.
Jixiang hurriedly said, "Xue'er, or you should hide first." ”
Hongxue said: "It's okay, it's just that if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that Ziying and Lingxin won't be able to stand it." ”
Ziying and Lingxin's faces had begun to turn pale, and they were forced to retreat again and again by Zifen. Zifen gathered the power of her whole body into her palms, and the flames that flashed with lightning struck like a meteorite, rushing straight into Zi Ying and Lingxin's chests. Ziying, Lingxin fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Zifen laughed and said, "Haha... It's overwhelming!"
As he spoke, he condensed his internal force again, swirled and condensed in his hand, and slowly raised it to attack again.
Hongxue hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Stop!"
