Chapter 17 A Woman Wishes to Have a Home
"My sister, what's going on?" Liu Yanchang and Cui Wan'er carefully avoided the eyes and ears of the Ghost King, and just returned home, only to find that Liu Qiaoyun, who was brought back by Liao Huai'an, had fallen into a coma. Lying quietly on the bed, his breathing was very weak, and he almost didn't feel any life.
Liao Huai'an sighed and said, "Do you remember what the old man told you about the yin?"
"You mean to say that the reason why my sister is unconscious is because of Ma Sanpo's ghost?"
"That old woman's soul charm is not really a way to see the yin, but a kind of evil art to cross the yin and lock the soul. All the people who have been cast by her will have a soul and a soul locked in the copper bell by her, as long as the spell is recited, no matter the mountains and rivers, the other two souls and six spirits will also be slowly attracted by her. Once the three souls and seven spirits are detained, it means that the lights are extinguished and there is no salvation. ”
"What about my sister, how many souls have been detained, and can they still be saved?" Liu Yanchang didn't expect Ma Sanpo to have such an evil technique, but he could only be in a hurry, and there was no way to crack it at all.
"How many souls have been lost, you can only use the soul lamp to observe!" Liao Huai'an lit ten oil lamps as he spoke, each lamp was half a bowl of sesame oil and a wick, and when it was first lit, all ten lamps shone like a shimmer like beans. But in the blink of an eye, only half of it was left, and the "whoosh" extinguished five lights.
"These ten lamps correspond to the three souls and seven spirits, as long as they are on, it means that the souls are still there, and those that are extinguished mean that they have been taken away. Now that Miss Liu only has one soul and four souls left, the situation is not optimistic, if she has a magic weapon to calm the soul and protect the gods, she should be able to hold on for a little longer. But with this shallow ability of the old man, he can only protect her for three days at most. ”
Liu Yanchang looked at his sister as emaciated, her face was full of exhaustion, and her heart was full of self-blame. She suffered and sinned, and was harmed by the wicked, all because of herself.
"Old Liao, please!" Liu Yanchang grabbed Liao Huai'an's shoulder, and he didn't want to say anything superfluous.
Liao Huai'an nodded and said, "You can rest assured that you have the protection of the land god seal, even if the ghost king comes, you can't do anything to me." As for Ma Sanpo's side, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle, but you can only rely on yourselves. The key to saving your sister is on the copper bell in Ma Sanpo's hand, as long as you destroy the copper bell and release your sister's soul, the old man will have a way to bring her soul back!"
Liu Yanchang took Liao Huai'an's words to heart, lifted the Falling Star Sword and said, "Wan'er, let's go, go and kill that thief!"
"Wait!" Liao Huaian seemed to remember something again, took out a hairpin out of nowhere, and handed it to Cui Wan'er.
Seeing Liu Yanchang's puzzled face, he explained: "This is a thousand-year-old locust hairpin, put in Miss Cui's hands, its power is no less than your Falling Star Sword!"
Hearing such an explanation, Liu Yanchang was even more puzzled: "Where did you get such a powerful baby?"
Liao Huai soothed his snow-white beard and said with a smile: "The ghost king has been doing evil for decades, and the old man will not have no action and countermeasures, right? ”
"What? It was your junior brother who set up the Peach Wood Formation, so everything that happened to Wan'er was arranged by you?"
Liao Huai'an saw that Liu Yanchang's face was not good, and quickly explained: "Liu Gongzi, don't misunderstand. The old man asked his junior brother to set up a peachwood soul lock array for her, but in fact, it was to protect her and give her a safe space to practice. Otherwise, this Qingxi Town Servant Ghost King covers the sky with one hand, do you think Miss Cui can escape his control?"
Cui Wan'er was also a little difficult to accept at first, but listening to his explanation, she understood his intentions. Over the years, the Servant Ghost King has indeed tried to break through the Peach Wood Formation several times, but he has not succeeded. This Mahogany Soul Locking Array seems to be a shackle, but it is actually a protective shelter that can protect her through every day in peace.
"Childe, don't be angry, the concubine thinks he is right. And that Taoist priest did leave some books on cultivation and spells in the coffin, otherwise, the concubine would still be just an ignorant little ghost, how could there be a Taoist practice in this body?"
"Since Wan'er has interceded for you, then I will spare you this time. Liu Yanchang pulled Cui Wan'er and walked outside the house, Liao Huai'an's old boy's scheming is too deep, Cui Wan'er is simply a game he has laid out, even if he doesn't show up. As long as we wait for Cui Wan'er to grow day by day, until she breaks through the peach wood formation and comes out, this Qingxi Town will definitely change another day.
But the more powerful Liao Huai'an is, the more Liu Yanchang doesn't want to have too much contact with him, and no one is not afraid of this kind of person. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, which is the truest portrayal of a person like him.
"Childe, what do you think of this hairpin, is it good-looking?" Walking on the road, the light Cui Wan'er was like a butterfly, fluttering left and right.
"It's pretty good!" Liu Yanchang said perfunctorily, he was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but lack interest.
However, the dark red locust hairpin is obliquely inserted between her jet-black green silk, which does have a different kind of beauty, just like a classical beauty in calligraphy and painting has come to reality. The hair bun is combed and pulled, like a frightened bird spreading its wings and about to fly, it is really dignified and delicate, smart and lovely.
"It seems that Childe doesn't like it very much!" Cui Wan'er said resentfully.
"How could it be? It's just that going to Ma Sanpo's house here is no less than going to Longtan and breaking into the tiger's den, and it's really hard to be distracted!" Liu Yanchang raised his eyes and looked at the moon that was already in the west, it was not early, and it was already the second half of the night. The surrounding green hills are silent, and occasionally you can hear three or two dog barks, as well as the barking of moths at the foot of the wall.
"It turns out that the son is worried about this, but the concubine thinks you might as well wait. Although Ma Sanpo knows a few evil arts, she is still a mortal, as long as she stays until dawn and there is no interference from the Ghost King, wouldn't the chances of the son win greater?"
"Concern is chaos, it seems that I am too anxious, thank you for the reminder!" Liu Yanchang nodded, he only heard Liao Huaian say that time was pressing, and he couldn't help but be anxious, and he was not so thoughtful. However, Cui Wan'er, as an outsider, is more calm and sees the problem more thoroughly.
"It's not too early, since it's scheduled to be a daytime operation, then I should go back early to rest, I can't do it without recuperating my spirits. Where are you going?"
"Childe, don't you remember what you said at night?" Cui Wan'er turned her face to the side, as if admiring the furnishings in the yard, but the tips of her ears were red.
"What's that?" Liu Yanchang didn't seem to be able to remember a single sentence.
"It's just that they will never drive me away and keep me by their side!" Cui Wan'er said angrily, turning her head and staring at Liu Yanchang.
"Really? Did I say that? You can't remember badly, do you?"
"You, you said that. Cui Wan'er was angry.
Liu Yanchang was afraid that the joke would go too far, so he smiled and raised the ancient jade and said: "I am still going to carry this piece of jade with me for a lifetime, it seems that there are people who are not rare!"
"You're really bad!" Cui Wan'er slipped into the jade pendant, it turned out that this was her new home, her belonging. However, the restless heart seemed to settle down, and there was still a sweet feeling.
