Chapter 980: White Tree
The words on the copper gourd flashed quickly, and it was not clear to the naked eye at all, Zeng Fu wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Xin Youxun, "Let's go and see the situation of the pregnant woman first, the gourd will flash the text when it encounters a spell attack, and there will be a chance in the future." ”
Xin Youxun dares to take risks and knows when to be cautious.
In one of the dilapidated rooms, there was an underground chamber divided into huts, and in one of them, the two saw the dead pregnant woman, who had just died, the wound was in the door of her brain, and the blood had not yet congealed.
Zeng Fu gritted his teeth with hatred, "It's really cheap Chen Guanhuo, it turns out that he is not only ruthless, but also a despicable villain." ”
Xin Youxun smiled, she has always been very sure of knowing people, from the moment Chen Guanhuo suddenly killed his companion, she guessed that he had evil intentions, "I was still too careless and failed to save her." Where is the child?"
The pregnant woman's lower abdomen is no longer bulging, but there is a small quilt and clothes around her, and it is obvious that there was a child here.
Zeng Fu ran through more than a dozen huts, found no trace of the child, stuck to the wall and listened carefully, and finally found a clue, a faint sound of breathing behind a wall that seemed to be fine.
Xin Youxun didn't dare to use spells, and both of them were weak and weak, and finally Zeng Fu thought of a way to bring in the unicorn broom outside, and gently cut the wall with its horns, and finally saw the baby.
A few days after the baby was born, I don't know if it was under a spell, or if it had just been fed, lying on a small blanket and falling asleep, two small fists clenched tightly in front of his chest.
Zeng Fu gently took the baby out, stared at it for a while, and whispered, "It's a boy." "It's so strange why I want to cry when I look at him." ”
Xin Youxun also felt a strange emotion surging in her heart, and even wanted to snatch the baby from Zeng Fu's arms, but she held back, "Send him to the town and keep some money." There will be someone willing to take care of him. ”
The broom also came over to watch, but there was no motherhood, and he stuck out his tongue to taste it, but was unceremoniously pushed away by Zeng Fu.
When he came to the ground, Zeng Fu said, "Do you think he is a viviparous Dao root?"
"I don't know, what was Zuo Liuying like when he was born?"
"That was more than 400 years ago, and I heard that he put on a spiritual posture soon after he was born, but he was a disciple of the Taoist sect and was taught by his parents, so it was actually not a big deal. I think this little guy ...... There are viviparous roots. Zeng Fu said affirmatively.
Xin Youxun smiled. "I see what you mean, I want to keep him, but how do I feed him? I have to have milk or something, and I have to go to the neighborhood and ask if his family is still there. ”
"There's always a way, go see your unicorn, it just saved your life. ”
After a short while, Xin Youxun's gaze was already a little reluctant to leave the baby, and he took a deep look before turning around and running towards the unicorn.
The Kirin has already stood up. The talisman armor on his chest blocked most of the attacks for it, and there were only some skin injuries on his body, Xin Youxun didn't know how to heal his injuries, but he brought a lot of pills and talismans. Everything that can be used is used, and Qilin has no choice but to retreat step by step, nodding his head constantly, indicating that there is no problem.
Xin Youxun walked back with the unicorn. Staring at the copper gourd for a while, the words on it had disappeared, "Isn't the Demon Pulling Cave among the Nine Great Treasures a gourd?"
"What? I haven't seen it, but the copper gourd is a common magic weapon in the Taoist system...... How could the Demon Pulling Cave fall to the ground inexplicably? If there was such a thing, the entire Dao system would be shocked, at least the Xingshan Dao Priests would all be dispatched. ”
Xin Youxun also felt that it was impossible, so she took out a skirt that she couldn't use for the time being from the baggage, wrapped it in a copper gourd and picked it up, wanting to wipe it clean, but it was spotless.
"Let's go, we have to find a place, the little one has to eat as soon as he wakes up. Zeng Fu said.
The two walked out with the unicorn, and both developed feelings for the baby.
If they had waited a little longer, they would have seen another miracle, but no one wanted to stay in a dilapidated manor full of corpses, and Xin Youxun and Zeng Fu missed the miracle and escaped.
When the two of them disappeared completely and there was silence all around, the only remaining trace of blood from Chen Guanhuo began to rise upward, as if something was about to come out of the ground.
A small sapling broke through the soil, slowly growing taller under the light of the setting sun, and the blood stains in the surrounding soil gradually disappeared, the tree was extremely peculiar, not scattered leaves, no flowers, no fruit, just a trunk and seven or eight branches, the whole body was snow-white, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a jade carving, not a real tree.
The white tree grew to a height of nine feet and suddenly burst, and a cloud of white light jumped out of it, leaving only half of the stump standing in its place.
Bai Guang flew around the courtyard, first into the underground secret room where the pregnant woman died, and soon came out, and then flew above the corpses of the four monks, stayed a little longer, shaking violently, and then flew for a while, and finally landed, and Bai Guang turned into a woman in a white dress.
She now looked at least fifty years old, her face was wrinkled, and the light on her body faded rapidly, no different from ordinary people, but she still stood straight, completely different from ordinary old women.
"Souls, I need more souls. Shou Que licked his lips, waved his hand to conjure up a mirror, looked at it for a while, threw it away, his face twitched a few times, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed, the laughter was terrible and crazy, as if she was the woman who died in the underground secret room, and after being resurrected, she found that her child was missing.
"If this is a dream, why am I so ugly, and there is still a soul to suck? If this is reality...... No way, only the magic spell can save me, no one can break the Pull Hole, no one can. This is a strange dream, I just want more and better souls, it must be the soul of a Taoist priest, this is my dream, what should I want. ”
Shou Que slowly inhaled and sniffed, the real air made her whole body tremble slightly, but she still refused to believe that this was the real world, and only wanted to devour the soul of the Taoist priest.
She smelled that the near-perfect soul was not far away, like bloody raw flesh attracting lions and tigers.
The soul is in the remaining half of the white tree.
"I seem to remember something. Shou Que walked to the white tree, raised his hand and tapped it lightly on his forehead, "My soul, my memory...... Someone stole my soul, ah, why should I dream like this? I have to make up for the missing soul, I have to ...... This soul is good. ”
Half of the stump burst a second time, and this time it was completely gone. When the smoke cleared, a man in tattered clothes lay on the ground.
"Mu Xingqiu. "I knew him, but I couldn't remember how...... Strange dreams, really strange dreams, I need to be careful, maybe this is the Pulling Cave attacking me. Be careful, but I'm going to eat his soul first, it's a perfect soul. That's what dreams should be. ”
Shou Que muttered to himself in the "dream", his eyes left the body on the ground, staring at a little void seven feet high, "Your soul has not merged with the body, yes, it should be like this, this is my dream, everything should be as I wish......"
Shou Que turned into a cloud of white light again, and quickly pounced on the location of Mu Xingqiu's soul. Shaking violently for a moment, he retreated back into his place, turning into a human form, his brow furrowed. It seems that he ate too carelessly and was stuck in his throat by a fish bone, but his appearance slowly changed from old to young.
"Don't be unconvinced, soul, in my dreams. Your struggles only add to my devouring pleasure. Shou Que pinched out different techniques with both hands, pointed to his forehead with his right hand, and pressed his left hand on his chin. Try to "digest" the perfect soul that has just been swallowed.
She looked up and found that the "dream realm" was getting stranger and stranger, and there was actually a group of inexplicable mortals.
Seventy or eighty mortals stood at the gate of the manor, an old man with a pickaxe, an old woman with a pole in both hands, a woman with a rolling pin in one hand, but there were no young men.
"Why are you there?" Moratori wondered and was angry, her dreams could be strange and unexpected, but there should never be fragile mortals, they were as unappetizing as worms in a dish.
"Disappear, all disappear, don't appear in my dreams!" Shou Que waved his hand away, if not all her strength was used against the newly swallowed souls, she would have obliterated this group of mortals with one move.
These people had come to avenge the pregnant woman, but they were a little frightened when they saw the monk's body on the spot, and a madman in white standing in the courtyard.
"What village is this crazy old woman from? I don't think I've seen it before. An old man asked suspiciously, his trouser legs and cuffs were all rolled up, and he was holding a yellowed paper talisman in each hand, and there were a few people who held the paper talisman in the same hand as him, which was originally used to deal with loose cultivation, but he didn't expect that four of them were dead, and one of them was missing.
They didn't know how strong the Sanxiu was, but they came to ask for an explanation out of indignation.
"It's the crazy mother of the sixth pig in Houshanyang Village, I heard that she has been crazy for several years, and said that she is an ancient god. ”
"No, I've seen that crazy woman, shorter than this one, wearing fancy clothes, not so white. ”
"Hey, this is an old woman, she seems to be ...... It seems to have become younger, whose stupid daughter-in-law is this, who was taken captive here, right?"
"It's possible, take it back to the town and ask the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family. ”
The mortals were talking, and the old man in the lead put away the paper talisman—this thing was too expensive to use casually—and walked up to the madwoman, and said with concern, "Do you remember your name, what is your husband's name, where do you live, how long have you been pregnant?"
Shou Que's white cheeks began to turn red, not because of shyness, but because she was about to lose control of the soul she had swallowed, and the spirit's resistance became stronger and stronger, making her more and more dissatisfied with the whole dream.
Shou Que suddenly jumped up, rose to a height of more than ten zhang, and fell straight to the ground, scaring many mortals at the gate, and the old man who came sat down and called "Mom".
Shou Que turned back to the appearance of an old woman, she felt angry, but more fear, this was a nightmare, not a sweet dream that she could do as she pleased.
She fled, turning into a cloud of white light, headless and thoughtless into the distance, not wanting to stay for a moment.
The mortal did not know what the danger was, but was frightened by the madwoman's spell, and it took a while to come back to his senses and slowly walk towards the man who had fallen to the ground.
"Is this one of the abductions of pregnant women?"
"No, look at his clothes in tatters, probably the one who was arrested. ”
"Moved, lo and behold, he moved, not dead yet!"
Mu Xingqiu opened his eyes, sat up slowly, looked at a group of strangers blankly, and asked, "Who am I?"
