Wu Dazhi froze on the spot for several minutes, quietly digesting all the inferences he had just made.
But no matter what, he couldn't convince himself that the girl in front of him was the legendary ghost mother they were looking for in their dreams.
"Dazhi, why do I think this woman looks so familiar?" While Wu Dazhi was stunned, Zhou Zijing seemed to have discovered the problem.
"Did you see it too?"
"Nima, isn't this the statue of the Ghost Mother we saw? Damn, life is often deceiving. How could such a perfect woman be the Ghost Mother?!"
Zhou Zijing wiped his nose and looked at Wu Dazhi in disbelief.
"Beauty is poisonous! Have you forgotten the beauty of the country?" Wu Dazhi gave Zhou Zijing a standard eye roll, and then walked forward.
"Why are you going? Don't tell me that you want to touch her! Aren't you afraid that she will come alive and bite you?"
Zhou Zijing's seemingly unconscious words almost turned into a crow's mouth. Just as Wu Dazhi slowly moved forward, he clearly felt the girl in the water shake.
Wu Dazhi was startled and rubbed his eyes with his hands. The girl was still standing quietly in the water. Sure enough, he was dazzled. If the ghost mother really came back to life, not to mention him and Zhou Zijing, whoever is out there would be both.
Stay and be buried with him.
"Fat man, what do you think we should do now?"
Zhou Zijing shrugged, with an indifferent look on his face: "You always make the decision, just do whatever you say!"
As soon as Zhou Zijing finished speaking, Wu Dazhi wanted to go up and slap him. Could it be that when he said to die, Zhou Zijing really died?
"We didn't find that ghost-burning lantern, but this place is already the territory of the ghost mother. I think it's okay to put that stone here!"
Seeing that Wu Dazhi didn't speak, Zhou Zijing said slowly: "I think our most critical issue is to get out quickly. Damn, I really don't want to stay in this place any longer."
Wu Dazhi could understand Zhou Zijing's mood from all directions and 360 degrees, but he had not yet done what he promised the female ghost.
"Fat man, wait for me to do something, and then we'll leave. I guess Hu Xue has dealt with the dryads outside by now."
Wu Dazhi said calmly, but Zhou Zijing was worried. He had a feeling that Wu Dazhi would fall into a trap, and it would be a big trap.
"I said Dazhi, what can you do here, forget it, go out early, don't let the fox worry."
With that said, Zhou Zijing went up and took Wu Dazhi's arm and walked back. Wu Dazhi hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether he should stay and look for the bones or just walk away.
Reason told him that the sleeping girl in front of him was a very dangerous existence, but emotionally, he could not forgive himself for betraying a promise, especially a promise to a miserable female ghost.
In this life, Wu Dazhi has never been tied down by anything, except for oaths and promises. This is true now and will be true long after.
"If you are afraid, go back first. I have to do that thing! The word oath, to me, is more than just words!"
In the end, Wu Dazhi chose the emotional balance. He shook off Zhou Zijing's hand and continued walking towards the girl in the water.
Under the clear spring, there were layers of corpses covered with leaves. They were clearly leaves from thousands of years ago, but when Wu Dazhi looked at them now, they still looked as if they had been newly picked from the tree.
It was green and exuded the breath of life. And the bones under the leaves seemed to be exuding the glory of new life, as if in the next second, those bones would reorganize into a human being and stand in front of Wu Dazhi.
Wu Dazhi was a little confused. With so many corpses, how could he know which one was the most beautiful one? He couldn't be allowed to shed blood to identify his relatives, right? But even if he shed blood to identify his relatives, it would have nothing to do with him.
Just when Wu Dazhi was hesitating, a loud noise suddenly came from behind, frightening Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing to look back quickly.
The previous fog had long since disappeared without a trace. Hu Xue and Xie Rusi had also brought the fruits of victory here. Although the tree demons and imps were still approaching them, the number was far less than that before.
It was obvious that the reserve force was insufficient. While fighting, Xie Rusi moved closer to Wu Dazhi. At this time, she was no longer controlling the black dragon to fight. Instead, she was chanting various spells and pinching various hand seals with her fingers.
Although her steps were still nimble, Wu Dazhi could tell that she seemed to have reached the limit of her physical strength. Fortunately, the obstacles in front of her had basically been overcome. The battle was coming to an end.
Not far away, the pool of spring water is still there, and the rhythm of the flowing water has not been disrupted at all; the water is still so clear and translucent, and there is not even a single wave on it.
The leaves were still so green and vibrant, and the sawdust scattered by the dryad did not fall on them at all; the girl continued to stand there quietly with her head lowered and her eyes closed, as if Wu Dazhi and the others were fighting from a distant world.
However, Xie Rusi didn't seem to be surprised by any of this. Even when she saw the girl in the water, she didn't show the same surprise as Hu Xue.
If there was anything different about Xie Rusi, it was that when her eyes fell on the girl, an imperceptible smile flashed across her face.
Hu Xue and Zhou Zijing didn't seem to notice Xie Rusi's smile, but her subtle behavior did not escape Wu Dazhi's eyes.
Wu Dazhi couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that Xie Rusi's target was really the ghost mother? Or, to be more precise, the girl in the water?
When the last dryad fell, the spring water that should have been clear suddenly emitted bursts of silver light. Xie Rusi suddenly raised her head and looked toward the sky. Suddenly, a bright moon appeared in the sky.
Wu Dazhi was not sure whether it was the bright moon, because they couldn't see the moon when they were supposed to be in the cave, but he had experienced too many weird things and learned to accept things that shouldn't have happened.
"Could this be this?..." Hu Xue saw the bright moon, her face changed greatly and she said: "This is the real Ghost Mother's dojo!!! Everything we have walked through before was transformed by the Ghost Mother's spells
from?!"
Xie Rusi looked at the bright moon with admiration and shook her head contemptuously: "You are wrong, Snow Fox. In fact, this is the place transformed by magic. This is no longer a place where the esoteric monks who have been improved and introduced to Tibet can come.
, this is one of the refuges of the Ghost Mother created by the most primitive Tantric warriors originating from India..."
Xie Rusi said, and walked towards the girl standing in the water. This was where her target was. It took a lot of hard work to find it, and it was the only place in existence where the ghost mother's body was still preserved.
"Stop!" Hu Xue suddenly blocked Xie Rusi's path: "I know what you are going to do, but I am very sorry. I don't intend to let that happen!"
"Interesting..." Xie Rusi smiled contemptuously: "You don't think you can really stop me, do you? Sometimes, what you see is not necessarily true..."
