Mai Xiaorou disappeared, and I couldn't help but feel a thump in my heart, and my fear suddenly increased by several levels.
I wanted to struggle again at this time, but found that my body was no longer in control. The wet "man" tried hard to cover my face with the plastic bag. I was extremely hypoxic and was losing consciousness.
"Bang! Bang!"
At this moment, two flames suddenly ignited behind the man and woman. Then the two of them screamed and were sucked into the flames, and the two flames quickly turned into two yellow talismans.
Then it flew towards the river like a butterfly, and I glanced towards the river. Mai Xiaorou was still there. She asked me with a worried look on her face: "Chen Yu, are you okay?"
"Cough! Cough..."
I coughed a few times and blew the plastic bag off my face. With nothing to cover my mouth and nose, I began to breathe the surrounding air freely. Maybe because I was breathing too fast, I
My lungs feel a little painful, but I can't care about that much anymore. I want air, air...
After I took a deep breath for a while, I waved my hand to Mai Xiaorou and said, "If you had taken action a little later, I would have died."
Mai Xiaorou said with some worry: "I'm sorry, I was held back by the real owner in the river just now, and I couldn't take care of you for a while. Fortunately, you are not seriously injured!"
I took a few breaths and said, "You don't have to apologize to me. It's because I couldn't help calling your name because of my bad mouth. If I didn't call your name, the spells you arranged around me would be hidden from you."
Two dirty things."
At this point, I came to my senses and asked again: "By the way, you just said that you were held back by the real owner of the river. That is to say, in addition to the two ghosts you just took in, there are others.
thing?"
Mai Xiaorou nodded and said: "The ones who came to you just now were just two minions. They should be the new ghosts transformed by the two people who died in the past two days. The really powerful things are still under the water."
I asked Mai Xiaorou what was under the water.
She said: "The ghost is just a powerful ghost, hundreds of times more powerful than the two new ghosts just now!"
Hearing Mai Xiaorou say this, cold sweat broke out on my back. The two ghosts just now left me powerless to fight back. If they were ghosts hundreds of times more powerful, wouldn't I be destined to be killed instantly?
?
Seeing that I was starting to get nervous, Mai Xiaorou said: "Chen Yu, don't be afraid, I'm here. Now that the two troublesome brats have been temporarily taken care of by me, the rest of the guys won't have the energy to harass you."
Already."
I smiled bitterly: "I hope so!"
At this time, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart. I felt that I might suffer again for a while, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.
Mai Xiaorou probably felt that the protective measures for me were not enough, so she slowly walked over to me after putting away the two talismans, and then took off a jade pendant from her neck and gave it to me.
The jade pendant is prismatic, and there is a snake carved around the prismatic jade pendant. The snake is lifelike and spits out letters.
Mai Xiaorou said: "This is the Snake King Pendant. I heard from grandpa that there is a snake spirit that failed to turn into a dragon sealed inside. If you put it on, it can protect you temporarily."
"how about you?"
"I know magic, and the underwater things may not be able to get benefits from me, so I won't be able to use the amulet for the time being."
When I heard what Mai Xiaorou said, I was no longer polite, so I took the Snake King Pendant and held it tightly in my hand.
Mai Xiaorou smiled at me and said, "Wear it close to your chest, the effect will be better."
After saying that, Mai Xiaorou patted the raised spot on her chest twice, which made me think about it. She had been wearing this jade pendant from her body.
After I put on the jade pendant, Mai Xiaorou walked to the river again and said: "Bad beast, don't think that I can't do anything if you don't come out. You have made a big mistake by staying in this river waiting for opportunities to harm people.
If you come out early, you might be able to suffer less when you get to the underworld. If you persist in your stubbornness, then I will make you lose your soul here!"
Mai Xiaorou said this very powerfully. Now she makes it impossible for me to associate it with the word "coquettish". What kind of person is Mai Xiaorou? Why is she always a little "coquettish" when in front of me?
What about "not serious"?
This is not normal.
When Mai Xiaorou said this, fluctuations suddenly appeared on the dark water, and then a cold air began to rise from the water. It was only autumn, and when the cold air came up, I felt it directly.
Winter mood.
I was shivering from the cold. Just when I could hardly bear the cold, the Snake King Pendant I was wearing on my chest suddenly began to slowly emit a burst of heat. It warmed my chest first, and then my whole body.
When I got up, the winter feeling slowly subsided.
Mai Xiaorou said: "Chen Yu, sit down cross-legged and recite the formulas I taught you silently in your mind. Use your own understanding of the formulas to control your luck and breath."
I quickly followed suit.
Mai Xiaorou stood still and didn't move. She looked around and said: "The underwater thing's spells shouldn't be very powerful, but his ability to confuse people is quite strong. Even I will fall into the trap if I'm not careful. Chen Yu
, be careful."
I didn't say anything and started to recite those mantras silently. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, they could at least put me at ease temporarily.
But just when Mai Xiaorou was about to take action, two figures suddenly appeared across the Minxin River. They were wearing blue Taoist robes. At first glance, they thought they were extras from a costume crew.
When I looked carefully, I saw that they were a man and a woman.
After seeing those two people, Mai Xiaorou suddenly stopped her finger skills and slowly took two steps back. I asked her what was wrong, and she leaned into my ear and whispered: "Those two Taoist priests are very powerful.
, if I make too many moves, I'm afraid they will know that I am a corpse, and if someone discovers that I am a corpse, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
While Mai Xiaorou was talking to me, the male Taoist priest cupped his hands in front of us and said, "May I ask what sect the fellow Taoist opposite is from and whether he is from our North China branch?"
North China Branch? What is that, I can't help but wonder.
Mai Xiaorou quickly raised her hands and replied: "We have no sect, and we are not members of the Supernatural Bureau. We are casual cultivators."
The male Taoist priest said "Oh" and seemed a little disappointed: "That's it, fellow Taoist fellow Taoist can retreat, my junior sister and I have already taken over the case here!"
When he said this, the male Taoist priest showed a sense of pride.
Mai Xiaorou didn't talk nonsense. She came over to help me and left, probably because she was afraid that the other party would find out her identity.
But just when we were about to leave, the male Taoist priest suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Mai Xiaorou's hand suddenly trembled, and I clearly felt that Mai Xiaorou was scared. This was the first time I saw Mai Xiaorou scared, and it was to the point of trembling. Although it was only for a moment, it still made me very sad.
be surprised.
"Do you have any advice, fellow Taoist?" Mai Xiaorou asked, trying to control her expression.
The male Taoist priest quickly smiled and said: "I just want to ask the names of two fellow Taoists. If they are willing, I can introduce them to the supernatural branch."
Mai Xiaorou hesitated for a moment and said: "My name is Mai Xiaorou, and his name is Chen Yu. This friend of mine has just started practicing. He suffered some injuries just now. We left first, and I will leave this place to you."
After Mai Xiaorou finished speaking, the male Taoist priest immediately said: "My name is Zhang Rui, and my junior sister's name is Tang Qing. If anything happens to the two Taoists in the future, you can go to Tang Fu Teahouse on Qingyuan Street to find us.
, tell us our names then, and someone will naturally receive you."
At this time, the female Taoist priest who had been silent next to her said: "Senior brother, that's enough. I'm here to present a case today, not for you to flirt with others. I've also met casual cultivators in normal times, and I've never seen you so enthusiastic.
It’s because the girl is pretty.”
Zhang Rui turned around and smiled at the female Taoist priest: "Junior sister, don't get me wrong, I want to recruit some talents for your Tang family, and it's for your sake. Besides, I only have you in my heart..."
Before Zhang Rui could finish speaking, the female Taoist priest took out a wooden sword and said, "Save these disgusting words of yours for others to say. I don't have you in my heart. Get down to business quickly. I have an appointment with someone tomorrow!"
Seeing that the two Taoist priests were about to take action, Mai Xiaorou pulled me and left quickly. I wanted to stay and see how the two Taoist priests subdued the evil spirits in the river, but Mai Xiaorou did not give me this chance.
And when she left, she also threw the talisman that had collected the two imps to the two Taoist priests.
The female Taoist priest named Tang Qing said "Hey" after taking the talisman, as if she had discovered something.
But she didn't chase him.
Soon we returned to Cuidi Chunxiao. When we returned to the room, Mai Xiaorou took a deep breath and said, "It was so dangerous just now."
I asked curiously: "Are those two Taoist priests very powerful?"
Mai Xiaorou said with some fear: "If there is only one, I can probably handle it. If there are two, I will definitely lose. The most important thing is that they have many treasures. They should be the successors of some big Taoist sect, or rather
A powerful person in the Supernatural Bureau."
I asked Mai Xiaorou what the Supernatural Bureau was.
She shook her head and said: "I don't know very well. I heard my grandfather mention it before, saying that it is an agency that specializes in dealing with various supernatural events. There are many capable people in it. I don't know much about the specific situation. Even my grandfather knows about it.
Not much."
Mai Xiaorou said she didn't know, and I didn't think about asking any more.
However, I have become interested in those big Taoist sects and the so-called supernatural bureaus. I didn't expect that there are such mysterious organizations in the world.
After talking to Mai Xiaorou for a few more words, her worry slowly faded away, and that charming expression appeared on her face again.
I took off the Snake King Pendant from my chest and handed it to Mai Xiaorou. She shook her head and smiled and said, "Keep it. The Snake King Pendant never reacted to me. Today, it reacted a bit smartly on your body. It seems that you can keep it."
It's more suitable to wear on you, just think of it as a token of love from me."
Did you give me this Snake King Pendant? (To be continued)
