The people who were lucky enough to escape with their lives either stayed silent or left a few words of comfort after taking a rest, and then left this bloody and terrifying place one by one. In this troubled world, who cares who’s life is not life?
Whose life was taken? Every day, every night, in every strange and secluded place, weren’t the same scenes of life and death played out?
Zhou Yixian and Xiaohuan also left there. The den of the beast monster was smelly and disgusting, and it was really no place for people to stay. They reluctantly moved the body of the wild dog Taoist out of the beast monster's den and placed it in the empty space where they had just entered the forest.
On the ground.
Taoist Wild Dog's body seemed to be still slightly warm, but it cooled down so slowly after all.
Zhou Yixian frowned, sat aside, shook his head and sighed, while Xiaohuan knelt beside Taoist Wild Dog, choking and crying.
The night wind rustled, shaking the treetops, and in the shadows, the mysterious man in black saw the scene just now. Although it was easy for him to get rid of the two beast monsters, his blood seemed to be cold.
Normally, he would stand in the dark and watch silently from beginning to end. At this moment, his eyes were looking from Xiao Huan to Zhou Yi Xian.
After a long while, I heard Zhou Yixian whisper: "Okay, Xiaohuan, he is dead after all. Let's find a place to bury him and let him rest in peace."
Xiaohuan trembled and choked louder. Suddenly he raised his head and cried to Zhouxian: "Grandpa, don't you know everything? Why don't you think of a way to save him?"
Immortal Zhou Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I am not the Nine Netherworld Yama, let alone a god in the sky. How could I know the magic of bringing the dead back to life?"
Xiaohuan choked and said, "But the Taoist priest died to save us."
Zhouxian Xian sighed, moved his eyes to Taoist Wild Dog's face, nodded, and said: "Speaking of which, I misjudged him before. I never thought that a person like him could have true feelings. Alas.
, but it’s too late to say anything now. Xiaohuan, listen to grandpa, let’s bury him properly.”
Xiao Huan was stunned, only the tears kept falling from his face, one drop at a time, wetting the palms of Taoist Wild Dog's hands.
In the shadows, the man in black's eyes flickered, but there was no sign of pain or pity. In his eyes, the world's human relationships seemed to be scenes of a live drama, and he was the only one watching coldly.
Zhou Yixian got up and looked around, but he couldn't find anything useful in this barren mountain and wild place. After searching for a long time, he could only pull a wooden stick back and tilt it on the ground a few times, but it was nothing.
A little soil was dug out, and if a hole had to be dug to bury people, God knows how long it would take.
Is it impossible to even give a proper burial?
Zhou Xian abandoned his stick and sighed, a rare look of vicissitudes of life appeared on his face. After sighing, he looked back and suddenly frowned. He saw that Xiaohuan had stopped crying at some point and wiped his face.
After shedding tears, she actually found a wooden stick and started sweeping around Taoist Wild Dog, sweeping away all the dead leaves and branches.
At first, Zhou Yixian thought that Xiaohuan had expected the difficulty of digging a hole, so he just wanted to sort out the ground around Taoist Wild Dog. Unexpectedly, the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. Xiaohuan swept out a radius of five meters around Taoist Wild Dog's body.
He abandoned the stick and walked back slowly, his face less sad but more resolute.
Zhou Yixian saw that Xiaohuan's expression seemed wrong, so he took a few steps forward and said, "Xiaohuan, what are you doing?"
Xiaohuan whispered: "I want to save him!"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Xian was shocked. The man in black in the dark was also shaken, and his eyes immediately focused on Xiao Huan. Zhou Xian said in shock: "What did you say?"
Xiaohuan's voice was still low, but what he said was very clear, "I want to save him!"
Zhou Yixian shook his head and said anxiously: "Yes, Xiaohuan, I understand what you mean. No, that's not it. I mean, what method did you use to save him?"
Xiaohuan stretched out his hand to straighten the body of Taoist Wild Dog, but put his hands in a rather strange way, raising them over his shoulders, with one hand pointing to the sky, and the other making a fist in the palm of his hand. At the same time, he said: "Taoist Master, he died to save us.
,I, I can’t do nothing.”
Zhou Yixian frowned more and more. He looked at Xiaohuan and then straightened the two feet of the wild dog Taoist and put his right foot under his left foot. His expression became even more ugly and he suddenly said loudly: "You
Are you crazy, Xiaohuan, do you want to use the 'soul harvesting technique'?"
Xiaohuan was silent for a moment and whispered: "Grandpa, I only know this thing. Maybe, maybe it can really save someone's life?"
"Fart!" Zhou Xian yelled loudly and loudly at Xiao Huan for the first time, "What are you talking about? Although the 'soul harvesting technique' has the ability to collect souls, this method has always been a side sect.
Not to mention the dangers are unpredictable, disturbing the wandering souls is a big violation of the taboos in the ghost world. Don’t you want to live? Also, this technique has always been used on living people. If the breath is still there, the soul is still there.
Only with this foundation can you cast a spell. What do you do to a dead person? If his breath is cut off, his soul will inevitably disappear. Even if you have this magic, where can you find his soul? Do you have to go to the endless ghosts in the Nine Nether Underworld?
Are you looking for it in China?"
In the darkness, those eyes were shining brightly, as if he suddenly discovered something incredible.
Xiaohuan's eyes turned red and he cried: "Grandpa, he, he just died not long ago, maybe his soul is nearby, and there may be hope. If it is delayed for a while and a half, there will really be no hope."
Zhou Yixian's face turned pale, he strode up to Xiaohuan, pulled her up, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaohuan, I tell you, don't be delusional. I know what you are thinking. Back then, you
With my own ability, I brought back the soul of your sister Jin Ping'er, but let me tell you, that time was different from now. Let me say it again, this spell is to be used on living people, and this time
Waiting for ghost magic to seriously damage Yin virtue, back then you only saved Jin Ping'er once, and you had already lost one year of your Yang life. If you do it again, it is hard to say whether you can succeed in casting spells on this dead man. At least you will be destroyed first.
With the foundation of Taoism, Yangshou may only take more than twenty years. Have you thought clearly?"
The last few words, Zhou Yixian said almost in a roar, Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment. She was in the Mood for Love, and it was nonsense to say she was not afraid of death, but facing the wild dog Taoist lying on the ground, she couldn't handle herself no matter what.
But when I think of the horrific consequences, I feel like I can't breathe.
The atmosphere in the field froze for a moment. After a while, Zhou Yixian slowed down his tone and said softly: "Xiaohuan, your fate is determined by God, and no one can change it. I guess it was God who wanted Wild Dog to die today.
Yes, we finally buried him and we did him justice, okay?"
The expression on Xiaohuan's face changed, and expressions of struggle flashed across her face from time to time. After a long time, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Grandpa, his fate was not determined by God."
Zhou Yixian looked at Xiaohuan's face, his heart sank, he laughed dryly and said, "What?"
Xiao Huan took a long breath and said resolutely: "Taoist Master's fate was determined by himself. He rushed to save us at all costs, and that's why he unfortunately passed away. If he turned around and left, where in the world would he be?
This is not a place where he can live and settle down." The girl's face was a little pale and sad, and she whispered, "So, he died for us. Without him, we would have died long ago. How can we talk about Yangshou here?
"
She looked at Yiyi Xian, who for some reason looked away, "Grandpa, I want to save him. No matter how dangerous this technique is, it can't compare to what he encountered just now to save us, right?"
She said categorically.
Zhou Yixian knew that she had made up her mind and could not change it, so she had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh. At this moment, the eyes of the man in the darkness were looking at Xiaohuan, shining brightly.
※※※
In the woods, it was late at night and the yin energy was strong.
In the dim light, that strange spell slowly unfolded.
The first drop of blood dripped from the cut on Xiao Huan's white arm and slowly fell next to Taoist Wild Dog. Then, Xiao Huan surrounded Taoist Wild Dog and used his own blood to drip down next to Taoist Wild Dog.
Come and watch her wrist slowly swing, and the dripping blood slowly forms strange patterns on the ground.
In the dense forest, as the blood-red pattern gradually took shape, faint ghost cries began to be heard. Zhou Xian stood aside and watched, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly. And the man in black, who had been watching this scene in the shadows for a long time, suddenly
He frowned.
It was as if he had seen this scene before somewhere!
great wizard
The man in black could not help but tremble slightly!
The blood array that Xiaohuan has set up now is obviously somewhat similar to the one when the great wizard rescued Baguio at Huqi Mountain. However, after the circle circled for a week, the formation took shape, and the man in black could already see what Xiaohuan was doing.
There are still some differences between the formation formation and the great wizard's back then. Not to mention anything else, the scale of the formation is much smaller, perhaps using blood as a mediator, and Xiaohuan cuts his own veins to seek blood, so naturally he cannot compete with the great wizard back then.
Comparable to wizards.
Perhaps because of this reason, the totem pattern of the magic circle set up by Xiaohuan was much simpler than that of the great wizard. However, even so, after one circle, Xiaohuan was already shaky and his face turned pale.
Without saying a word, Zhou Yixian went up to support Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan was a little weak, so she turned back and smiled at him, and then slowly sat down cross-legged at the top of the formation, three feet in front of the head of Taoist Wild Dog.
In the dark and dense forest, a ghost roar suddenly rose out of thin air. In an instant, the whole forest roared one after another, and the gloomy air swept over the sky. The gloomy wind blew from all directions, shaking the surrounding trees, and all the branches shadowed behind them.
, as if countless cold eyes were watching here.
Xiaohuan looked solemn, slowly closed his eyes, put a pair of white hands on his chest, and chanted a mysterious spell in a low voice. After a moment, his slender palms spread out on his chest, slowly lowered them, and placed them into the blood pattern in front of him.
.
The blood patterns surrounding Taoist Wild Dog's body suddenly lit up in an instant. All the blood seemed to have suddenly gained life and began to flow in the patterns. At the same time, Xiao Huan's originally pale face,
Suddenly there was a bit of strange black air.
The dark wind became stronger and stronger, and the entire dense forest seemed to darken at the moment. Only the magic circle began to shine. The lively flowing blood, like the most delicious delicacy, attracted countless ghosts.
The look on Zhou Xianxian's face became increasingly worried. He knew the dangers of this soul-collecting magic. Just imagine how dangerous it would be for ordinary people to snatch souls from the underworld. However, Xiaohuan was hampered by his practice.
However, if the spell is only cast within the scope of this dense forest, the impact is barely significant. It is expected that it will not alarm those powerful guardians of the underworld. Otherwise, it would be unimaginable for someone to accidentally be targeted.
But now it seems that it is just this type of formation, and Xiao Huan feels a little overwhelmed, but seeing the black air on her face getting heavier and heavier, her body begins to tremble. You must know that this spell casting is different from her treatment back then.
Jin Ping'er is different. Jin Ping'er's soul has not been dispersed. With this, it will be much easier to collect the remaining soul. That day, the great wizard was saving Baguio in Huqi Mountain. Although the formation was much larger, there were actually more
Relying on the remaining soul of Baguio absorbed in the exotic treasure "Albizia Bell", he used magic to exhaust the Jiuyou underworld and forcefully take back the remaining soul. But precisely because of this, the great wizard himself was exhausted.
, and secondly, it also alerted the protectors of the underworld, and was counterattacked by the ghost power of the underworld, and finally died.
But this time, the small ring uses a rough Taoist method to perform the most bizarre and difficult magic in this ghost way, and lacks the most critical soul. Even if it is just to find the wild dog Taoist among all the wandering souls in this dense forest, the difficulty is
Soul, but the danger in it is beyond imagination.
The two beast monsters have killed countless people here, and there are also countless innocent souls hovering here, unable to pass away. However, Xiaohuan set up this formation, but it is clear that he wants to take a soul into this body.
How can this not make all the ghosts crazy?
For a moment, the situation changed color, and countless looming black energy rushed towards Xiaohuan. The pain on Xiaohuan's face became heavier and heavier, and his face was almost completely shrouded in black energy.
Looking at this, I'm afraid Xiaohuan won't be able to hold on for much longer, but somehow, she still refuses to give up. There are so many ghosts and ghosts hovering around her, either crying like ghosts or howling like wolves, begging endlessly, or forcing each other fiercely, and all kinds of things.
, the pain, despair, and all the evil feelings in this world seemed to be piercing into her mind, but Xiaohuan was still struggling to hold on, using her remaining spiritual power to search in the endless sea of wronged souls.
If you fail this time, I'm afraid you won't have another chance!
Zhou Xian was so anxious that he was sweating all over, but he didn't dare to disturb Xiao Huan, so he could only walk around and sigh. And the figure in the dark shadow, although surrounded by ghosts, seemed not to care at all.
, on the contrary, those ghosts seemed to be a little afraid of him, and stayed away from him. At this moment, the man in black looked at Xiaohuan without blinking, and actually nodded for him involuntarily. For a long time, there was a gentle sound.
The voice that only he could hear whispered: "How is it possible that this young woman can survive under such circumstances with such a high talent in the ghost path? If there is guidance from the master of the ghost path, given time, it will be possible
Come on”
As he spoke, he actually showed some inexplicable hesitation.
At this moment, Xiao Huan's face, which was full of black energy, suddenly showed a joyful look. His right hand, which was soaked in a pool of blood, suddenly stretched out and grasped the empty space. Then he quickly put it down and caught the wild dog Taoist.
Then she stretched out her left hand from the pool of blood and grabbed it in the air. Suddenly, the ghosts and ghosts in the sky roared loudly together. It seemed that they all fell into uncontrollable rage, and the ghosts were so dense.
Iron and black energy suddenly enveloped Xiaohuan's body.
Outside the magic circle, the trees within three feet were withered, as if they couldn't bear the boundless viciousness.
Zhou Yixian was shocked and at a loss. Xiaohuan gasped for air and tried several times to put her left hand on the right hand of the wild dog Taoist, but she was surrounded by endless black energy, ghosts howling, and sinister winds.
There was a strong force that made it impossible for her to press down. Xiaohuan's face became increasingly ugly, her body trembled, and blood gradually flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing that this magic circle was about to be destroyed, Zhou Xian was so anxious that he was about to rush over and pull Xiao Huan apart from the magic circle. Although he didn't know what the consequences would be, it was always good to stay away from those ghosts. Unexpectedly, he was out of shape.
Before he could move, a black shadow suddenly stood in front of him. Zhou Xian was shocked. Looking at it at this time, the man in black seemed to be similar to the ghosts around him.
Just listen to the hoarse voice of the man in black, saying coldly: "If you want your granddaughter to survive, just stand there and don't move."
After that, the black shadow flashed, and the man in black had appeared around the small ring and the strange magic circle. Without saying a word, he was seen waving his arms repeatedly, and black things kept flying out of his hands.
"Bahbaba" broke through the ground and inserted itself around the magic circle.
Those things looked dark, like iron but not iron. It was unclear what they were, but once these things were inserted into the soil of the magic circle, the blood in the magic circle suddenly seemed to be affected by some external force, and the running speed almost doubled instantly.
Above, it was like boiling. A red light lit up from above the magic circle and enveloped Xiao Huan.
This layer of red light seemed to be particularly useful against the surrounding ghosts and ghosts. For a moment, the ghosts retreated one after another. Under the red light, Xiaohuan's expression quickly returned to normal. He immediately pressed down his left hand stretched out in the air and caught the wild dog.
Taoist's left hand.
The moment Xiaohuan held the Wild Dog's arm, there was only a slight popping sound, and a dark red light started from the Wild Dog Taoist's palm, extending downward like lightning, and spread all over the Wild Dog Taoist's body in the blink of an eye. Then, the Wild Dog Taoist
The dog's whole body lit up, and after a moment, it dimmed again and returned to normal.
At that moment, Xiaohuan managed to open his eyes and stared closely at the wild dog Taoist priest's head in front of him. Suddenly he tilted his head and he breathed out slowly.
Xiaohuan was overjoyed and relaxed, but suddenly her eyesight went dark and she fainted. (To be continued)
