When I saw Hao'er, I didn't dare to go out because I was afraid of dragging Han Jiuchen back.
I simply leaned down and completely hid myself behind the low wall.
Hao'er moved slowly, gradually approaching Han Jiuchen.
Han Jiuchen snorted coldly, pulled up his sleeves and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He stood up and said, "Really? I don't think so!"
Then, Han Jiuchen looked up to the sky and roared, forming a vortex with him as the center. I watched helplessly as the black mist originally floating around was sucked into his body by this vortex.
Originally I could still clearly see him in the center of the whirlpool, but as the black fog became thicker and thicker, in the end only a black cylinder was left!
The black mist dissipated, and Han Jiuchen in the middle was covered in black gas. His face was pale and blue, and his eye sockets were red. He looked like a fierce ghost.
That look was dozens of times scarier than when he swallowed the counterfeit!
If I hadn't known that he was Han Jiuchen, I would have been so frightened that I fainted with my eyes open.
Han Jiuchen was suspended five centimeters above the ground. He grabbed it casually and the Heavenly Punishment that originally fell on the ground immediately flew into his palm.
At this moment of Heavenly Punishment, the blade of the sword is also filled with black energy that is visible to the naked eye.
When Hao'er saw Han Jiuchen's appearance at this moment, the smile on his face froze and turned into a look of fear.
Hao'er backed away in panic, "Daddy... scary... wu wu wu..."
Han Jiuchen said gloomily: "Are you afraid? It's too late!"
Before he could finish his words, he waved the Heavenly Punishment in his hand and swiped it toward Hao'er.
The black energy turned into a whip and waved in the air.
Because Hao'er turned into a tree trunk and moved slowly, he was unable to avoid Han Jiuchen's attack. Within a few moments, he had already appeared like a three-year-old child, lying on the ground and begging for mercy.
"Dad... Hao'er is wrong... don't hit Hao'er... mother... help me..."
When Haoer called me mother, I subconsciously thought he was calling me. My heart trembled and I lowered my body, for fear of being seen by him.
No matter how pitifully Hao'er cried, Han Jiuchen remained unmoved.
"How can you tolerate harming others and harming yourself?"
I lay on the ground and didn't dare to look outside. I just silently counted the number of times Han Jiuchen whipped him in my heart.
After ninety-nine lashes, I heard Haoer scream in agony.
At the same time, I felt another force wrap around me and forcefully push me out from behind the low wall.
My cry for help was stuck in my throat, and I saw a green ball of light appearing where Hao'er had been.
I saw Han Jiuchen reaching out to hold the light ball, but the power surrounding me suddenly glowed with the same color as the light ball.
The ball of light that had been touched by Han Jiuchen's fingertips flew towards me as if it had gained consciousness.
I clearly saw that there was a jade plaque hidden inside.
When Han Jiuchen saw this, his expression became even more terrifying.
He raised his hand towards the ball of light, flexed his five fingers, and five black mist emerged from his fingertips, wrapping the ball of light in an attempt to put it into his palm.
At the same time, a black mist descended from the sky and also enveloped the ball of light.
Suddenly, the situation turned into Han Jiuchen and the black mist fighting for the light ball, but the light ball was about to fly towards me.
When the three parties were in a stalemate, the ball of light burst into flames, broke away from Han Jiuchen and the nameless black mist, and flew straight towards me.
"Get away!" Han Jiuchen yelled.
I wanted to be obedient, but I was restrained by the power that enveloped me and could only stand in place like a wooden stake.
"I...I can't move..." I explained with a tearful tone.
Before I could finish my words, the ball of light was already in front of me.
Immediately afterwards, the light of the light ball dissipated, and only the edge of the jade medal still flickered.
Before I could see the full picture of the jade plaque, I felt a cold feeling between my eyebrows. The jade plaque actually penetrated through my eyebrows.
A biting chill instantly spread from the center of his eyebrows, spreading all over his limbs and bones.
"Okay, so cold..."
The nameless black mist left at the speed of light. Han Jiuchen wanted to catch up, but after hearing my voice, he quickly floated in front of me.
Han Jiuchen used both hands to pinch me several times in a row.
The last person who grabbed me was his hand, bit my middle finger, squeezed out the blood, and smeared it on his palm.
Using my blood, he quickly formed a talisman in his palm and slapped it on my forehead.
As this palm crawled over, the cold feeling faded away, and the power that enveloped me also disappeared.
Without the support of that force, my feet weakened and I knelt down on the ground.
I raised my head and looked at Han Jiuchen in confusion.
Before I could ask about the jade plaque, Han Jiuchen took a few steps back dejectedly, as if exhausted, and couldn't even hold the Heavenly Punishment in his hand.
However, Heavenly Punishment did not fall to the ground, but floated up automatically and floated in front of him.
"I just breathed in too much resentment...I can't control it anymore. Help me dispel it."
Han Jiuchen was so angry when he spoke that I felt nervous, fearing that he was up to no good.
The body of the Heavenly Punishment Sword flew rapidly in the air, waving the sword energy and swiping it towards Han Jiuchen. With each stroke, the black energy on Han Jiuchen's body was reduced by a few points.
Finally, Han Jiuchen returned to his original appearance, but he could no longer support his body and his whole body was crumbling.
My heart was almost in my throat, and I quickly ran towards Han Jiuchen in three steps, not two steps, trying to catch him before he fell.
I was just on the way when Han Jiuchen flew towards his body with a hiss.
I stretched out my hands and stopped there awkwardly.
Han Jiuchen's soul possessed him, and he came out from behind the low wall and said in a cold tone: "Why are you coming back? Didn't I let you go?"
I felt a little aggrieved when he yelled at me. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to leave, it was just that I had no chance to leave!
Sniffing, I walked back to him and told him pitifully what had happened before.
After hearing the reason why I came back, his ugly expression softened slightly.
I seized the opportunity and asked: "What is that jade sign just now...?"
"...the fragments of the magical weapon are the tools used by Tang Xuan to control Hao'er." Han Jiuchen knelt down to pack his toolbox.
While listening, I hunched over and moved around, helping to pick up the tools scattered elsewhere.
I remembered that I had thrown the mahogany sword by the low wall before, so I ran over to take it back.
During this period, I told Han Jiuchen what happened when I was imprisoned by a force just now.
Han Jiuchen thought for a while before saying, "Hao'er has sucked your blood, so the jade token in his body is contaminated with your blood and attracts each other."
"So... that black mist just now was Tang Xuanyi?" I asked.
"Well, he wants to get this thing back." Han Jiuchen said.
"Then... what will happen to me if this thing flies into my head?" I asked anxiously, "Would it also be controlled by Tang Xuanyi?"
"No, Tang Xuan also placed it on Hao'er, perhaps to absorb the resentment here and enhance his own strength." Han Jiuchen said.
"Can I take this thing out?"
"No, unless like Hao'er, the soul is dispersed by heaven's punishment. And..." Han Jiuchen put his things away and looked at me with the toolbox, "When the jade token is not used for other purposes, it is almost the same as my soul."
From now on, in the eyes of ghosts, you will be the walking Tang Monk."
Damn it! This bastard Tang Xuanyi is hurting me!
"Then, what should I do?!" I was so frightened that I was trembling even as I spoke.
Han Jiuchen approached me, stretched out his hand to catch me, lowered his head and pressed his forehead against mine, "From now on, you should stay under my nose as much as possible and don't run around, so that I can protect you, do you understand?"
"good……"
Hearing what he said made me feel a little relieved.
…
We returned to the exit, and the whirlpool there appeared again. The ghosts surrounded the whirlpool. They wanted to get out, but they had no carrier, so they could only watch helplessly.
When they saw me, it was like they saw hope again. They all cheered and ran towards me, but after seeing Han Jiuchen, they ran away in despair.
Han Jiuchen took out the ring-shaped jade pendant. Although he said nothing, the ghosts seemed to know what the jade pendant was and rushed to get in.
It wasn't until the lines inside the jade pendant began to show black threads that Han Jiuchen put it away.
There are still some ghosts who failed to enter the jade pendant and surrounded us and refused to let us go.
Han Jiuchen held up the jade pendant and said, "This place is already full. If you continue to surround us like this, no one can get out."
The ghosts whimpered: "Then what should we do?"
"We want to get out! Let us out!"
Han Jiuchen said: "You guys stay away. After I go out, I will naturally find other ghost servants to take you back to the netherworld for reincarnation."
Other? Ghost?
There was a thought in my head: Could it be that Han Jiuchen... is a ghost??
I wanted to ask him, but he was currently dealing with the ghosts and probably didn't have time to pay attention to me.
I had no choice but to push the question back.
The ghosts didn't believe it, so one of the leaders stood up and asked, "Why should we believe you? What if you never come back?"
Han Jiuchen lost his patience, turned his hand, and summoned Heavenly Punishment.
When the ghosts saw the punishment from heaven, they were so frightened that their bodies shook like chaff and they retreated continuously.
"Choose one of the two options: I'm going to lose my soul, or wait for the ghost messenger to pick me up." Han Jiuchen said coldly.
Although the ghosts did not fully believe Han Jiuchen's words, they had no choice but to retreat in the face of heaven's punishment, watching Han Jiuchen and I pass through the whirlpool and disappear into this ghost town with tears in our eyes.
Just like when we came, it was like walking through a dark tunnel, and we returned to the room with the child's pillow.
The ruby on the child's pillow has disappeared without a trace.
We left the room and there was no one outside. I think the boss saw what happened and fled in fear of crime.
Han Jiuchen notified Gui Cha Gui San to pick up the lonely ghosts in the ghost town.
We also hired someone from the Spiritual Supervision Bureau to conduct an in-depth investigation.
On the way home, I asked him: "Hey... are you a ghost?"
Han Jiuchen thought about it for a while and then said: "Yes, and no."
I punched him lightly, "Is it true or not?"
"Su Qingzheng, there are some things that it would be better if you didn't know," Han Jiuchen said, "Curiosity will kill the cat."
I was not satisfied with this answer at all. I moved out of the contract I signed before and said, "You can't hide it from me."
This time, Han Jiuchen didn't give an honest explanation like before. Instead, he closed his eyes and leaned against the car window.
His face had not looked good since before, and I felt distressed just looking at him, so I didn't dare to guess whether he was really tired or just didn't want to talk to me.
I curled my lips, thinking that if you don't tell me now, it will be a long time in the future, and I don't believe I can't pry it out.
