Across the thousand-year-old peach wood cage, Zongzi sleeps in the coffin, with messy hair and an indispensable golden cone-shaped dagger stuck in his chest. He closes his eyes and seems to have fallen into a permanent sleep.
The food box in her hand fell to the ground, and Xiu'er's hand tightly grasped the bars. She turned back and glared at Zhuang Yuchen angrily, "Why?"
"He won't hurt you, but he will hurt others." Zhuang Yuchen said calmly: "A few juniors were almost hurt by him some time ago. If the master hadn't stopped him earlier, I'm afraid they would have turned into zombies."
"If you let me in, I will look at him and talk to him." Although Zongzi is naughty and has a child-like personality, he is arrogant by nature. It would be so painful to suffer such humiliation.
"I brought you here today just to show you his current situation. Whether you can let him out depends on your ability to persuade him."
"What if I can't convince him?"
"To prevent him from hurting others, he must be locked up here." If the Hanba refuses to submit, the master will most likely perform a blood sacrifice, put his own blood and heart into the Hanba's body, and offer his soul to the Hanba to borrow the law.
The two spells are combined into one. This is a long-forbidden evil spell. The person who borrows the spell pays the price with his life. Even if he really defeats the female slave one day, his life will be reduced as the wish made during the blood sacrifice is fulfilled.
Disappearance In other words, if he is defeated at the hands of the female slave, even if the female slave is merciful and spares Hanba's death, the master's life will still disappear.
The bet is too heavy. With the strength of the female tycoon, Zheng Huoying can use the method to make a desperate bet, and the chance of winning is not good.
Xiu'er stared at Zongzi across the cage, her heart was bitten by thousands of insects, and she couldn't breathe. She wanted to save him, and she couldn't let him suffer the insults of the Taoist priests. Zombies also have dignity!
Closing her eyes heavily, Xiu'er's tight hands tightened and loosened. She suppressed the anger in her heart, turned to Zhuang Yuchen and said: "Let's go." She will come back when she learns the ghost language.
Zhuang Yuchen was a little surprised by her calmness. He thought she would cry and make noises like before. Who knows that no one with any expression will gradually become stronger in the baptism of life. I hope she can recognize the reality soon.
The two of them were silent all the way out of the cave and crossed the chain bridge. Xiu'er couldn't help but ask: "You now and you before are two different people."
"In the past, I didn't know the sufferings of the world. I always felt that everything was beautiful and that I was fully capable of changing the world." Zhuang Yuchen said lightly: "Later, I dealt with monsters and monsters more, and my mood became heavier. Sometimes I even felt that I couldn't even smile.
"It's all luxury." Because the next moment you laugh, you may be about to kill a demon or be killed by a demon. You have to be very energetic at any time.
"When you first became a Taoist priest, how did you get used to catching and slaying demons?" Thinking about the scars all over his body, it always felt like he had gone through many life and death catastrophes.
"You have to get used to it even if you're not used to it, otherwise it's not the monster that dies but you." Zhuang Yuchen said calmly: "In the beginning, there was a master or senior brother who was there to save me, otherwise I would have been swallowed by the monster."
Life is a product of sacrifice. Xiu'er can imagine that he has been dealing with monsters and ghosts all year round, and his hands have been stained with too much blood. Even though he has a heart of stone, there are still times when he feels heavy, like he knows full well that Zongzi is a kind zombie.
, still bent on killing him to avoid causing trouble in the future.
However, he was merciful to Xiaobai, which surprised her a little. It seemed that he still had the innocence and kindness of the past.
Returning to the Yuanqing Palace, Zhuang Yuchen set out to teach Xiu'er to learn the Mingyu. The Mingyu is no better than Chinese characters. It is square and straight, horizontally and vertically. It is more like runes, and the shape is extremely weird like ghost drawings. Xiu'er draws one stroke at a time on the paper to practice.
I put Chinese characters on the side, thinking that I would learn the ghost language as soon as possible and free the rice dumplings from the cage as soon as possible, so I often forgot to sleep and eat, let alone make snacks for the Taoist priests. Some Taoist priests who were addicted to eating complained quite a lot.
Zhuang Yuchen's eyes widened and he said coldly to a group of foodie disciples: "Master said, if you don't practice more diligently, you will be sent directly to feed the Hanbao."
Those Taoist priests who were scratched by the drought demon turned pale and immediately ran away with their heads in their hands.
Zhuang Yuchen kindly reminded: "Remember to balance work with rest. Don't learn the Mingyu and tire yourself out instead." Her understanding is pretty good, and her speed in learning the Mingyu is much faster than that of many Taoist priests.
"It doesn't matter." Xiu'er hasn't slept for two days, with two dark eyes, "It will be good for you and Asha if I learn the underworld language as soon as possible. Time is not passing by, and the female demon may appear at any time.
I'm pregnant, and by then it will be too late to do anything."
Zhuang Yu was still worried about Xiu'er, "Why don't you let me talk to Hanba?" If she keeps going like this, her body will collapse. Besides, is Hanba really that important to her?
"No need," Xiu'er insisted, "Ah Sha has a bad temper. Even if he regards the female tyrant as his enemy, he won't agree to your request. It's better for me to step in. He can still listen to what I say."
"But no matter how anxious you are, you should take care of your own body." Zhuang Yuchen turned away, looking unnatural, "Besides, you should also take care of my feelings." She was his fiancée, but she forgot to eat and sleep because of a drought demon.
Even if it was with purpose, he still didn't feel good in his heart
"Haha..." Xiu'er is a smart person, how could he not hear the implication of his words, so he immediately put away his pen, yawned and said: "Okay, then I'll go to bed, but you remember to wake me up early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid
over slept"
"Hurry up and go to sleep." Zhuang Yuchen looked at her two dark eyes and was speechless. "People who don't know would think I abused you."
"Haha..." Xiu'er was too lazy to clean up the desk and fell directly onto the bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Zhuang Yuchen helped her clean up her desk, put a quilt on her sleeping body, and left the room shaking his head.
After half a month of hard practice, coupled with Zhuang Yuchen's strict guidance, Xiu'er finally learned the secret language that needed to be negotiated with Zongzi.
There was no loss, and Zheng Huoying seemed to have talked to her daughter, and Zheng Shan's attitude was somewhat restrained.
Before going to Huayang Cave, Xiu'er asked to see Zheng Huoying. Zheng Huoying finished handling the matters at hand and summoned Xiu'er in the study. He smiled warmly and said, "Miss Xiu'er, I heard from Yu Chen that you are talented.
I learned Mingyu very quickly.”
"Zheng Zhangmenshan is ridiculous." A cunning fox tried to trick Huahua's intestines. Xiu'er was no match for him at all, so he went straight to the point: "I want to talk to Ah Sha, but before that, I want to first
Let me talk to you. If Asha agrees to your request, can I make a request?"
"I wonder what request you want to make?"
"I hope he can get the same treatment as the Taoist priests in Maoshan, instead of being locked in a cage like an animal. Ah Sha is different from other zombies. If you insist on locking him up, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive."
Zheng Huoying smiled faintly and stroked his beard, "If I release him and he hurts someone from my Maoshan sect, who will bear the responsibility?" Zombies are zombies after all, and she is actually on par with humans.
It’s really...incomprehensible!
Xiu'er said word by word: "I'm responsible!"
"What are you responsible for?" Zheng Huoying was stunned when she saw her swearing.
"My life!" Xiu'er didn't even blink when she said this.
Zheng Huoying looked at Xiu'er and seemed to understand why she could get along with Hanba. After some hesitation, he nodded and agreed, "If he agrees to help us, I agree to give him freedom."
"Thank you, Master Zheng." Xiu'er said happily, "Then I will talk to Asha now."
Zheng Huoying was a little worried, "I'll go with you." Zombie was moody. He couldn't bear it if he turned against An Xiu'er and hurt An Xiu'er.
"No problem, but you'd better stand outside the cage. After all, you have fought in Tu'ao before. I'm afraid that Sha will hurt someone if he gets excited." Zombies have a fierce temper, especially Zongzi, who always does things regardless of the consequences. If he fights with a Taoist priest,
If both sides break up, the outcome will probably be even worse.
"Okay, we'll wait outside while you talk to Hanbao."
"Thank you, Master Zheng, for your trust."
"You are Yu Chen's fiancée, and he is my proudest apprentice." Zheng Huoying smiled, "I don't believe you, who do I believe?"
So, under the leadership of Zheng Huoying and his party, Xiu'er went to Huayang Cave again. She didn't get glutinous rice dumplings last time, but she still made them for him this time.
Zheng Huo personally opened the lock of the thousand-year-old peach wood cage and said: "Be careful, and if you find something wrong, remember to inform us in time."
Xiu'er nodded, opened the cell door and walked in. She locked the lock with her backhand and saw Zhuang Yuchen and the others looking surprised. She explained calmly: "I'm afraid that Asha will rush out when he gets excited. You don't have to worry about me, he won't."
Hurt me”
Zhuang Yuchen looked at her figure, frowning slightly, and even his breathing was a little heavy. Her trust in Hanba far exceeded her trust in him.
Xiu'er turned around, walked step by step to the coffin, stretched out her trembling hand to grasp the tapered dagger inserted in Zongzi's chest, used all her strength, and pulled it out...
The dagger was pulled out, and Xiu'er took a few steps back before she stopped. She threw the murderous dagger far away, walked to the coffin uneasily, and looked at the sleeping Zongzi with mixed emotions. Her delicate hands covered him.
With a stiff and cold face, she whispered: "Ah Sha, wake up, Ah Sha..."
Like a call from afar, Zongzi slowly opened his eyelids, his green pupils shining. He looked at Xiu'er, a little unbelievable that it was Xiu'er, why was she here?
"Shame..." Seeing Zongzi wake up, Xiu'er couldn't hold back her tears any longer, sliding down her cheeks and dripping into the coffin.
Crystal tears fell on Zongzi's face, hot and hot. A long-lost, strange and familiar feeling surged through Zongzi's stiff body. He sat up from the coffin and reached out to wipe her tears, "Xiu'er"
Xiu'er pushed his hand away and said with a smile through tears: "I'm fine, I'm just so happy to see you."
"Roar..." Zongzi smelled the scent of Maoshan Taoist priest, and his body flew to the side of the cage with a "whoosh", and his body collided with it.
The blood curse attached to the cage emitted a blood-red light, knocking Zongzi's body away and hitting the ground heavily.
"Roar..." Zongzi showed his fangs and flew forward again.
Xiu'er rushed over and grabbed him, "Don't be like this, silly, I have something to tell you."
She held him tightly, "Listen to what I have to say before you get angry!"
"Roar..." Zongzi looked up to the sky and roared. The whole cave rumbled and was about to collapse, and sand and stones fell down one after another.
"Ah..." A gravel hit Xiu'er's foot. Xiu'er cried out in pain and hurriedly knelt down to cover her foot.
Crazy Zongzi saw that Xiu'er was injured and hurriedly knelt down to touch her feet, "Xiu'er, it hurts!"
Xiu'er hurriedly pulled him to sit down on the ground. She turned her back to the cell door, blocking the sight of Zheng Huoying and others. She wrote on the ground in dark language: The smelly Taoist priest is too despicable. He dares to hurt you. Gentleman's revenge, ten years.
It’s not too late, keep the green hills and don’t worry about running out of firewood
Zongzi was startled. He didn't expect that she could write Mingyu skillfully. He was very surprised: Xiu'er, can you know Mingyu?
Xiu'er nodded: Zhuang Yuchen taught him
Zongzi was puzzled: Why?
Xiu'er smiled lightly: They want me to convince you to deal with the female gangster together.
Zongzi was angry and made angry gestures on the ground: I won’t do it! Let the stinky Taoist get out!
Xiu'er's face was full of black lines: Have you heard the story of me sleeping on the firewood and tasting courage?
Zongzi snorted: Never heard of it!
In fact, his mother told him this story, but the smelly Taoist priest went too far. He wanted to challenge him to a one-on-one challenge. How can he be a hero when he is outnumbered? He would not make a fool of himself with the smelly Taoist priest.
Zongzi refused to listen, and Xiu'er became anxious: You are no match for him now, and it won't be too late to deal with them when you get stronger.
Zongzi shook his head: No!
Xiuer was depressed: Are you the prince of the Eagle Kingdom?
Zongzi nodded: Chu Xun, my name
In fact, he doesn't like "Ah Sha" at all. She can just call him by his name from now on. Facing the stalking Taoist priest, Zongzi is holding back his anger. Don't let him seize the opportunity, otherwise he will tear him alive.
Kill those stinking Taoist priests!
Xiu'er gestured on the ground: Chu Xun, do you know that your parents, the queen, and the people of the Eagle Kingdom all died at the hands of the female demon?
Zongzi nodded: This is a matter between me and the female slave, and has nothing to do with the Taoist priest.
Xiu'er is determined not to give up: You and the Taoist priest have a common enemy, Chu Xun. Listen to my advice. There is a saying in human beings: "Be patient with humiliation and bear the burden." The hatred between you and the Taoist priest can be settled with them after you kill the female slave.
It's not too late that I went to Maoshan specifically for you. Can you bear to let my efforts go to waste?
