Thousand Lantern Night

"Hey! Are you all right?"

Before I was submerged in muddy water, someone came and dragged me, and then slapped me several times with one hand.I was very dizzy at first, but I almost rolled my eyes when I was slapped by this first aid technique.I waved that hand away with the last bit of strength, and my chest hurt, and I spurted out a mouthful of blood.

After throwing up two or three drops of blood, I finally got over my breath. This time I was able to live up to my expectations, and I didn't get dizzy and unconscious.I saw Qinai next to me, holding me with one hand and looking around with the ghost seal in the other, and my mood suddenly became complicated.One is that I didn't expect that none of the friendly forces would take care of me when I was in danger, and the other is that Qin Ai, who took advantage of the opportunity, was not the first to take away the ghost seal, and woke me up first.

After the complexity was over, I snatched the ghost seal with my hands, stuffed it into my backpack, and struggled to get up from the ground.But I was sucked too hard by Wu Xie just now, I was dizzy and weak, and my legs were weak. I just got up and fell down again, and fell directly into the chest of the fat man who was running towards me.

The two lumps of flesh on the fat man's chest clattered between my face, and he lifted me up and dragged me to a tree and sat down on a stone. You ran away without a trace, so don't let anything happen to you. Come and eat something!" He pinched my mouth and forced me to stuff a mouthful of chocolate.

I just can't laugh or cry.Fatty must have watched too many Snickers commercials, chocolate can only replenish physical strength, it doesn't do anything to my state where half of my soul is sucked.I had no choice but to resist, so I had to let him fiddle with it.

After the fat man gave me this kind of first aid (toss) based on his experience, my state finally recovered, and at least I had the strength to speak.That's when I noticed the rain had stopped and the sun was shining brightly above the trees.Everyone was in a panic and collapsed on the ground, panting in shock. Even Zhang Yinzhen was covered in mud, which shows that it was really a tough battle just now.Looking at the remaining number of people, it shows a sharply decreasing distribution.

After looking around, I didn't see Zhang Qiling and Xiaohua, so I don't need to ask if I should have gone after Wu Xie.Fatty saw that I was looking for him, and said directly: "Don't look, brother and master Hua'er are chasing innocent. It's hard to get him back, and he can't be lost again."

When I think of Wu Xie's state, even though I know that Zhang Qiling and Xiaohua are capable together, I can't help feeling a little worried.If it was just a duel of strength or skill, either of them would be enough to make a shot, and the other would just be responsible for watching from the sidelines.But I feel that Wu Xie's power is very mysterious, as if it is not in the same dimension as us.

I asked the fat man: "Those ghosts—are they all solved?"

The fat man's face and body were covered with paint, as if his wife had just caught a rascal and scratched him, his mouth was covered with blood.He simply wiped it roughly with alcohol gauze, while hissing and gasping, his mouth was still free to answer me: "No. Just now, my little brother pierced Tianzhen, and after Tianzhen ran away, those things disappeared."

I wondered: "Did you follow Wu Xie?"

The fat man froze for a moment, then nodded: "It seems to be the case—hiss! That thing has sharp claws!"

I remembered that Zhang Yinzhen said that the mandrill was made by Wu Xie. Now it seems that this tomb within the tomb seems to have something to do with Wu Xie. After the mandrill disappeared, the rain passed away and the atmosphere was very different.I asked the fat man, "Is that why Zhang Qiling stabbed Wu Xie?"

The fat man scratched his head and thought for a while and said, "It was too chaotic just now, so I didn't pay much attention. But I took a look when I saw the little brother passing by. The little brother probably just wanted to go there to help Master Hua let go of his innocence. That knife was probably Unintentional." He said with an annoyed "tsk", "I don't know if it's important to be naive or not, that knife is firmly pierced, so don't do anything good or bad."

Having said that, I also realized that with Zhang Qiling's conduct, he would definitely not stab Wu Xie with a knife, no matter what Wu Xie became.At the same time, I was secretly startled, if it wasn't for that knife, I would probably be sucked into a vacuum duvet right now.

Not long after, Zhang Qiling and Xiaohua came back.The two of them are not in good condition and have many injuries.The faces of the two of them were not good, they came to look at me, and then Zhang Qiling just sat down behind us in silence, looked down at the black gold ancient knife in his hand, and the statue didn't move at all.That kind of vicissitudes of life looks like a cuckold king whose wife has run away with someone.

Xiaohua took the alcohol gauze from the fat man's hand and began to wipe the wound. The fat man asked, "What's wrong? You didn't catch that kid?"

Xiao Hua shook her head: "I didn't catch up. I don't know which direction he ran, but suddenly I couldn't see him."

The fat man sighed, "His injury—isn't fatal?"

Xiaohua said: "Not sure. The knife Zhang Qiling didn't intend, the knife was sucked in by Wu Xie himself."

I was a little surprised, but also expected.Now it is estimated that Zhang Qiling is also very worried. He does not know how Wu Xie is injured, and he is completely at a loss.And because he hurt Wu Xie with his own hands, he probably chopped himself with a knife in his heart.One word: miserable.

The fat man said: "What's wrong with the innocent, how did it become like this? Why are those ghosts one with him, and seem to be controlled by his thoughts?"

When I asked this question, I suddenly thought of the living wound on Wu Xie's chest caused by the attack of the dead energy of the Jiuli pot, and blurted out, "Is it related to the wound on Wu Xie's chest?" Before Xiao Hua entangled Wu Xie, she called I'm going to plug that wound.

The fat man frowned and said, "I don't know how he got it out. What kind of weapon caused the wound to grow like this?"

It suddenly occurred to me that the reason why I knew that Wu Xie's wound was injured by the Jiuli pot was because of the induction of the ghost ring in the tower forest.Xiaohua has read Wu Xie's notes, so she should be able to deduce the origin from the wound, but the fat man definitely doesn't know.

Sure enough, Xiaohua said: "Wu Xie wrote in his notes that he broke into Chishui Town. This injury was caused by the Jiuli pot at that time. The energy of the Jiuli pot is more powerful than we imagined. At least, the wound it caused There is no way to repair it with the power of the ghost seal. This is very troublesome."

Now I have a very headache.Originally, no matter what he encountered, Guixi was like a panacea, treating headaches and treating head and foot pains, and healed the illness several times.Now the ghost seal doesn't work anymore, Wu Xie has the ghost seal antibody in his body, and a quack like me has nothing to do with him except for his face being beaten very painfully.

"Wu Xie's wound is not pure Jiuli Pot energy." Zhang Qiling's voice suddenly came from behind, and there was no trace of emotional ups and downs at all.I just want to offer my knees to this man's endurance.

Zhang Qiling continued: "The reason why the ghost mandrills are controlled by Wu Xie is because they are one with Wu Xie. Being able to manifest means that they are spiritual energy themselves."

Xiaohua said: "So much spiritual energy, unless—" He suddenly thought of something, raised his voice and said: "The Jiuli pot originally buried all the dead spirits of the Chiyou clan who were exterminated! Wu Xie was captured by the Jiuli pot. Injury, is the dead spirit actually invading his body?"

The fat man said: "Like the Jiuli Pot in the ancient clan, not everyone can enjoy the treatment of burying spirits, can it be a vessel with 'divine power'? Would it be too exaggerated to store the whole clan of dead spirits in it?"

Zhang Qiling said: "It is not an exaggeration for the Shouling clan. Since ancient times, the main function of the Shouling clan is to maintain the life energy of the tomb owner in a certain way. If the tomb is a corpse, feeding is a more appropriate way .But if the subject of the tomb is the dead spirit, then it is the best way to use the same dead spirit object to guard the tomb."

When he said that, we all reacted immediately.Xiao Hua said solemnly: "That is to say, the Jiuli Pot is used as a burial place, and the spirits of Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, are stored in the Jiuli Pot? And the spirits of these slaughtered tribesmen are collected into the pot by Wu Zhu. , as Chi You's mausoleum guard? The main purpose of doing this is to keep Chi You's soul energy immortal. So it is Chi You's soul energy that really occupies Wu Xie's body?"

The fat man couldn't help gasping: "My second uncle! How can he still be alive!"

I asked Zhang Qiling: "Ji Ling Wu Zhu, who was at the inn before, used this chamber pot to collect the souls of those donkey friends, not only to open the Tallinn, but also because the original spirit body in the chamber pot has been transferred to Wu Xie, right? They want to use necromantic energy to destroy the living energy of the ghost ring in the tower forest, and release Wu Xie—that is, Chi You?"

Zhang Qiling stared at me with both eyes, and nodded slightly with a heavy face.

I linked the events before and after and recalled it, and found it incredible and terrifying at the same time.When rescuing Wu Xie before, the ghost seal and ghost ring were in energy balance with Tallinn, so the rescue process didn't take too much trouble.However, the fact is that we inadvertently destroyed the life energy that sealed Wu Xie, thus making the dead energy in Wu Xie's body grow stronger and active without restraint.

Thinking of this, my expression changed, and I quickly took out the ghost seal from my backpack to look at it.

When Xiaohua and Zhang Qiling saw Guixi, their eyes shot out sharp lights at the same time, and they fell on my face.

Under bright light, one can clearly see that the color of the ghost seal is dim and lustrous, and it has lost its previous moist water color and has become lifeless.

If Guixi was a living jade that even ignorant people could see before this, Moyu's water light was soft and dripping, with a soft light like the skin of a living person.But now, Guixi is just like the fakes sold in the second-hand market, stiff and lifeless, turning into a gray broken stone.

This change plus the previous experience can only explain one thing, the energy of Guixi was sucked away by Wu Xie.If Zhang Qiling and Xiao Hua's conjectures are all true, and Wu Xie has Chi You's necromantic energy living in him, then the only function he can absorb the ghost seal's energy is resurrection!

I swallowed, and asked them hesitantly: "Then—what should I do now?"

Suddenly there was a creaking sound from the radio waves on the other side, and Feng Ying shouted loudly: "Master Hua! We got in touch! The helicopter is coming!"

Xiaohua immediately said: "Go back first. We can't do anything if we stay here except wear and tear!"

Then he pressed my shoulder and said: "You have to go back with us to show your face. Wu Xie is like this now, if it gets out, many people will want to get his power. You and I go back to support the scene, first Stabilize all plague gods, let's find a way!"

The fat man said: "I have to do it too. Before going to Changbai Mountain, no matter what, you have to solve the matter of innocence. Who knows if you can't come back after going to Changbai Mountain? If you don't put innocence well, I can't close the fat man even if I die." Eye."

I turned my head and glanced at Zhang Qiling.He didn't speak, but clenched the back of the black gold knife even harder.

I silently raised my head and sighed.Sin, this unprofitable substitute job, I have to keep doing it.
