Chapter 354: Bone Carving Talisman

The princess's breath was weak, her face was as white as paper, and her lips were dark, as if she had fainted from exhaustion.

Mu Xingqiu straightened her body, covered it with a blanket, and observed for a while, although the princess was delicate, she would not be so lightly tired, in the battle of Broken Flow City that year, she persevered from morning to night, and after the battle with the demon clan was over, she was still strategizing on the east bank of the Jiehe River, and she was more tenacious than many men.

Mu Xingqiu took out the bronze mirror and a few magic weapons, and quickly checked them, but did not find anything abnormal, saving people and curing diseases was not his forte, he had to ask for help.

He placed lamps, candles, bells, seals, and other objects beside the princess to keep her safe, and then took out another anamorphic paper talisman, re-transformed into Zeng Fu, and left the tent and walked to his quarters.

Soon after nightfall, there were still people walking around in the camp, and it was very close to the imperial capital, and few people were worried about the safety of the princess anymore, and everyone's expressions were relatively relaxed, and they talked excitedly about the prosperity of the imperial capital and the benefits of this marriage.

Mu Xingqiu walked with her head down, not looking at anyone, Zeng Fu was the maid beside the princess, and no guard dared to be disrespectful to her.

Inside the tent, another Mu Xingqiu was chatting with the bald man enthusiastically, laughing happily from time to time, not at all like a Taoist priest, this is the image of Zeng Fu, in case someone suddenly comes to him.

"I really want to take you with me. Zeng Fu sighed, as early as in the Broken Flow City Inn, she had a very good conversation with the bald man, and thought it was a very interesting head.

"Then you have to ask Brother Xiaoqiu, if he agrees...... I don't agree with that either. Brother Xiaoqiu, you're back. ”

"Well, I'll take you to the princess. As soon as Mu Xingqiu spoke, his original voice was revealed.

"Didn't you just meet it a few days ago?

Zeng Fu stood up and put away the smile on his face, "What's going on?"

"I want you to go to the first seat now, stay with him, don't come out, and let people see you more on the way. ”

"Good. Zeng Fu didn't ask much. She knew the priorities and would not waste time at such a time, and she didn't even ask what she was going to do or say when she went to see Zuo Liuying.

Mu Xingqiu left first, still showing the image of Zeng Fu, holding the head of a bald man, and slowly returned to the princess's tent. The princess can't see a man before marriage, but a bald man can't be considered a man, and it won't cause gossip.

Nothing had changed in the tent, and the princess's breath was still faint, but her face was a little better. It looked like she was asleep, and if Mu Xingqiu saw her for the first time at this time, he wouldn't even be suspicious.

The bald man flew over to take a look, and immediately retreated to Mu Xingqiu's shoulder, silent, he also saw that something was wrong.

After a while, Zuo Liuying's voice suddenly came from the bald man's head, he was already used to acting as a sound transmission incense burner, so it was not surprising at all.

Let Mu Songxuan look at the princess. "Zuo Liuying has no nonsense. Straight to the point, he didn't know exactly what was going on, but he knew it must have been the princess who had done something.

The bald man flew over on his own.

The black candle of the god protected her head, and the bronze mirror shone on her heart. The copper seal subdued the meridians of the whole body, lit the five sections of green wood balm, and ......" Zuo Liuying gave one order after another, he knew exactly what magic weapons Mu Xingqiu had, and finally he said: "Take out the Frost Soul Sword." ”

Mu Xingqiu quickly executed every order. Only then stopped.

"It's likely that there is a bone carving talisman in her, which can be sucked out with the Soul Exorcism technique, and it doesn't cost much soul power. Cast gently and steadily, as slowly as possible. Zuo Liuying explained.

Mu Xingqiu no longer had any doubts, summoned the Frost Soul Sword, supported it on the carpet, held it in his left hand, and pinched the magic trick in his right hand, for the first time in more than five years, he drove the soul power in the sword.

"You're going to stay with her tonight. Zuo Liuying gave the last order, and there was no sound, the bald man glanced at Mu Xingqiu, and very consciously flew to the door of the tent to monitor the situation outside.

After the transit of an oil lamp, the power of the soul entered the princess's body, as thin as a gossamer, starting from the top of her head, moving inch by inch, looking for the location of the bone amulet.

It was a long process, and there was no rush at all, Mu Xingqiu tried not to pay attention to the princess's increasingly slight breathing, and concentrated on casting spells.

After a full hour, Mu Xingqiu found the small bone carving talisman on the princess's right arm, the picture-like black rune was carved directly on the bone over the flesh, and the ink was extremely deep into the bone, almost penetrating into the bone marrow, and it seemed that it had been stored for a while.

He had thought it was an impromptu frame-up, but now he realized that it was not aimed at him, and that the assassin had already planted the talisman to take effect when he was about to arrive in the imperial capital, and it was a complete coincidence that he caught up with the princess and fainted.

The flame of the oil lamp swayed slightly, and the virtual image reflected on the purple velvet tent was a giant hand dancing its teeth and claws, and the ink of the bone charm slowly moved outward.

It was also a long process, bringing bone-chilling pain, and the princess couldn't help but tremble in her coma, her body curled up involuntarily, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from her skin.

After a long time, the flame of the oil lamp suddenly burst up, and a drop of ink the size of a grain of rice seeped out of the skin, condensed but not dispersed, and slipped out along the cuff and flew towards the oil lamp, like a pocket beetle ready to put out a fire.

The princess woke up, slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were empty, her body was still curled up, and she did not react for a long time, as if she had woken up with only a shell, and her mind was still in a coma. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she finally found all kinds of magic weapons around her, as well as the Taoist priest standing with a sword on the opposite side.

"You've been hit by the Bone Charm. Mu Xingqiu put his mind at ease, and took back the Frost Soul Sword, various magic weapons, and the drop of ink beads in turn, "The first one taught me the method of going to the talisman." ”

The princess's lips moved twice, as if to say thank you, but no sound came out.

Mu Xingqiu nodded, "It's okay already, you have a good rest, I'll go and change Zeng Fu back." ”

The princess lowered her eyelids to show that she understood, but when Mu Xingqiu turned around to leave, she spoke, her voice was very soft, weak and weak, and she was like two people in her usual life, "Wait a minute." ”

Mu Xingqiu turned around to look at the princess, but she refused to speak, and was silent for a while before saying, "Can you help me up?"

Mu Xingqiu hesitated for a moment before walking over, the princess's body was too weak, he could only help her up in a half-hugging position, there was no backrest on the soft couch, he took the folded futon from the side and put it behind the princess.

The princess took a few deep breaths, and a faint flush appeared on her face. "Sit next to me and let me lean for a while." ”

Mu Xingqiu hesitated for a while, but still sat down, a weak princess was more difficult to refuse than a tough princess.

The princess naturally put a hand on his palm, leaned on his shoulder, and stared at the head at the door for a long time before she recognized what it was, and showed a smile, "Mu Songxuan." Don't you miss your body?"

The bald man flew closer, his eyes flickered, as if he was a little uncomfortable, "I missed it at first, at that time I especially wanted to grab other people's bodies, and slowly got used to it, and then I was able to fly, so I felt better without a body, and I was free." I really have a body. I can't refine Neidan, I can only stand on the ground and look up at Brother Xiaoqiu and they are flying around, wouldn't it be more painful for you to say that?"

The princess laughed, "I wish I could have someone like you by my side." Never grow up, always so happy. ”

The bald man was extremely proud, "Everyone likes me, but I can only stay by Brother Xiaoqiu's side." He needs my care, and without me, who will keep watch for him while he is practicing?"

Mu Xingqiu snorted. He smiled as well.

The bald man held back for a long time, and once he spoke, he couldn't stop, and he talked endlessly, under his description, the rescue process just now was ups and downs, and there would be suspicious black shadows passing by, and there would be strange sounds, and groups of assassins seemed to be lurking in the camp, and they would enter the tent at any time, but with him guarding the door, it would not be a problem.

The princess laughed incessantly, gradually regaining her vitality, and interjecting from time to time to ask a question, which aroused the bald man's enthusiasm for telling.

The bald man was almost finished, and suddenly asked, "Princess, you like Brother Xiaoqiu, why do you want to marry someone else?"

Mu Xingqiu's face was slightly gloomy, and he motioned to the bald man not to talk nonsense.

The princess didn't care, raised her eyes and glanced at the people around her, "Because he is a Taoist priest, I am a mortal, or it won't be long before I will become an ugly old woman, and he is still the same as now, instead of parting with him because of disgust, it is better to keep all the qiē in the state of first sight, so that I can have an unchanging memory." ”

Mu Xingqiu was embarrassed and shocked, because the princess actually did not deny liking him, but the two had only met a few times in total, and they had only exchanged several letters, and he could not even defend himself, so he could only sit like a wooden man.

The bald man thought for a long time and didn't know what the princess meant, so he could only stretch his voice and say, "So that's ......"

The princess slowly straightened up, combed her temples with her fingers, and showed the most perfect smile, "Tell me the truth, Mu Songxuan, am I worthy of your little brother Qiu?"

The bald man nodded again and again, "Deserved, of course deserved." You are a princess, you have thousands of horses under your command, he is the son of the horse herd Lao Qiu, but you have no horses under your command, only my head, you are gentle and amiable, he has loved to fight since he was a child, and he has not changed all of them, you are the most beautiful person I have ever met...... One, he's okay, a little more handsome than his father. Anyway, you totally deserve it, but ......"

"That's enough. The princess smiled like a flower, "Let my memory end here." You bring me joy, I'm going to give you a word, I'll look at it after I leave the tent, and then destroy it at once. ”

The bald man flew around, took pen and paper with his hair, and the princess quickly wrote down a word, and after blowing dry, the origami paper was handed to the bald man, and the bald man was itching so much that he really wanted to open it at once.

The gong sounded outside, and it was already dawn, Mu Xingqiu stood up, "I should go." ”

The princess looked up at him, the smile on her face fading away, and she returned to her usual appearance, "I hope you don't misunderstand, I need someone to help me through the most difficult moments." ”

"No, it won't. ”

"I like my life now, although I am only a mortal, I can control a kingdom or even a dynasty, this is my power, as long as I still have a breath, I will not give up this power. ”

"I understand, just like I'm not going to give up on Nedan either. ”

"I have a hunch that we still have the opportunity to fight side by side, please remember that when you need the help of mortals, there is one person who will never refuse. ”

Mu Xingqiu saluted the princess, grabbed the bald man and prepared to retire.

"Xin Youtao. The princess did not say her brother's name until the last moment, "He wrote me his last letter more than a month ago, and if nothing happened to me, the bone amulet was hidden inside. ”

(Finally, I have bought a little time to get back, and the press will resume normal from tomorrow.) (To be continued......)
