Chapter 37: Early Sun
While speaking, Xian'er's eyes never moved away from the Bagua Mirror.
I suddenly remembered that when Luo Youfang came to our house last time, he did sleep in my parents' bedroom all night. I also thought that this gossip mirror was attached to the bed. During this period, the master was not at home and we had never come to anyone else at home. Except for Luo Youfang, it seems that there is no one else who can put the gossip mirror under the bed.
Moreover, this Bagua mirror is exactly the same as the one in my master's family... Could it be that Luo Youfang is really a person from the Shuzheng lineage, but why did he harm my parents? Also, my master has always said that in the Shuzheng lineage, there are only two masters and apprentices now, and I have never mentioned that I have a fellow master.
Xian'er closed the window, walked to me, picked up the gossip mirror, and said to me: "The water in Jihun Village is so muddy! Especially in your lineage, you can't count the grudges and grievances of many lifetimes. Mr. Chai doesn't tell you these things, just because he is afraid that you will think too much and cannot practice your skills. Alas, when it comes to it, Mr. Chai is willing to protect you, but in the end, these things will fall on you? I really don't know what he is thinking... Get up and it's coming!"
My mind was in a mess at that time and I didn't react for a while. Is it coming? Who is it?
But just when my mind was still confused, a "hiss" suddenly came from the air. Although the sound was different from Xian'er's voice and sounded a little unreal, I also understood that it was the snake spirit that came!
I endured the soreness and numbness on my body, and quickly rolled up from the ground.
There was a long lantern on Xian'er's hand, and there was still a green flame in the lantern, but this time, the luster of the flame was already very dim. I know that Xian'er should be almost at its limit.
She blocked the entrance of the corridor with a lantern, looking nervous, but she was still saying: "The fox fire should be able to block it for a while. When it dawns, you will open all the windows and doors."
I nodded silently, but I was still worried. This place was still the top of the tower. Once the doors and windows were opened, the yang energy would rush in instantly. At that time, not only the snake spirit, but also the immortals would be in danger.
Xian'er tilted her head slightly at me and said, "Don't worry about me, I have a way to get out. It's here!"
Before she could finish her voice, a heavy chill suddenly came from the stairs, and my hands and feet suddenly became cold. The yin energy on the snake spirit was not so fierce before, but now, it is going to make a last try.
At the same time, the lantern in Xian'er's hand was extinguished. She and I didn't expect such a change. In a daze, the snake spirit's huge body suddenly passed by Xian'er, and two rows of huge poisonous fangs appeared in front of me.
My reaction was extremely high at that time. When I saw the snake spirit, I immediately remembered the hemp rope I grabbed when practicing the Tiangang Lock. My master would often suddenly throw the hemp rope in front of me and let me grasp it with the Tiangang Lock technique. When I grabbed it, I had to concentrate and try to explore the threshold of thinking.
Almost out of instinct, I calmed my heart down as soon as possible, and at the same time reached out and "grasped" the snake spirit's neck directly.
The position of the snake neck is also the position I often catch when I grab the hemp rope. But the hemp rope is solid, but the snake spirit is empty. My fingers penetrated directly from the snake spirit. I don’t know if it was because I accidentally reached the state of thought or what happened. When I grabbed it like this, the snake spirit’s body paused in the air.
Could it be that the Tiangang Lock can also be used to deal with ghosts? Of course, with the situation at that time, I probably didn't think so much, but still couldn't remember it. I only remember that the next moment I bit through the tip of my tongue and sprayed it directly into the snake spirit's wide open mouth.
After all, after being cared for by my master for many years, my yang energy was almost equivalent to a strong sulfuric acid for the snake spirit. Although my blood passed through its body and fell on the floor, it was still greatly stimulated and its whole body was twisted violently.
When the mouth of blood flew past Xian'er, Xian'er also seemed to be facing a great enemy and quickly dodged to the side.
Actually, I shouldn't have grabbed the snake spirit with my hands, I just spit out this mouthful of blood. When my hand touched the snake spirit's body, I felt a chill that penetrated my body through my palm. I didn't feel much when the blood was sprayed, but after a mouthful of yang blood was sprayed out, the chill also became particularly harsh. In just one moment, my hands and feet lost consciousness, and even my brain seemed to be frozen by it.
The Bagua Mirror also fell to the ground at this time.
Xian'er was still shouting at me at this time: "It's now! Open the window!"
I could hear her voice, but my body could not react. It was no exaggeration to say that my body was really frozen. Although I could also feel another cold air behind me, pushing the yin energy of the snake spirit out of my body, but it took time.
When Xian'er was talking, she had already made a move to run downstairs, but she saw that I didn't move, but just stood stiffly looking at her. I thought Xian'er should have realized that something was wrong with me. I saw her looking at a window that rushed to the snake spirit. After hesitating for a moment, a decisive expression appeared on her face.
I knew what she wanted to do, and I wanted to tell her not to do such a thing. But she had come to me, picked up the gossip mirror on the ground, threw it to the snake spirit, and rushed towards the broken window, opening it without hesitation.
Just as the two windows were opened, a faint ray of sunlight sprinkled in. Xian'er seemed to be lit from inside her body, and thick blue smoke emerged from her head and shoulders. She quickly avoided the sunlight and squatted in the darkest corner of the room. Although I couldn't touch her now, I could clearly feel her weakness, and even the coolness she brought to me became very weak.
The sunlight hit the black Bagua mirror. The Bagua mirror immediately became restless and trembled constantly. The ground suddenly became dusty. But the snake spirit became extremely quiet. It put its head on the Bagua mirror and let the sunlight pass through its body. The Yang energy quickly consumed its yin energy, and its body quickly became transparent.
When the snake spirit was about to dissipate, it turned around and looked at me.
I still clearly remember its eyes at that time, which was a kind of gratitude like relief and a deep reluctance to the world.
At that moment, the snake spirit seemed to have regained its mind. At this moment, it became the river god of Yaoyingzi River.
The river god who favored countless infant spirits who died young gently guided them to the underworld.
A moment later, the snake spirit completely disappeared from this world, just like the river of Yaoyingzi that it had protected for hundreds of years.
People say that if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. If you survive a disaster, you should have a happy life. But at that time, my heart was so deep that something seemed to hit my heart hard, which made me unable to relieve myself for a long time.
When my body could barely move, I immediately ran to see Xian'er's situation.
Xian'er was so weak that she couldn't speak. She sat on the ground almost motionlessly, looking at me with her eyes, and then moving her eyes, as if she wanted to see the open window.
I knew she was afraid of the yang energy on my body, so she didn't dare to get close to her or speak, but I knew what she meant, so I closed the window and looked at her from afar.
At this time, Xian'er's body also looked very erratic. I'm afraid that it won't take long before she even disappeared like a snake spirit.
For Xian'er, it is difficult for me to define what kind of relationship she has with me in my heart. It seems that she is a friend, but it doesn't seem to be considered a friend. She saved me three times. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that she is my benefactor, but in my heart, it seems that only my master can be regarded as the word benefactor.
But no matter what, I was very worried about her, especially when I saw her weak appearance, I felt very sad. I didn’t know if this kind of sadness was because of guilt or gratitude, but it was very uncomfortable.
I also know that I can't do anything now. Maybe if my master is here, what else can I do... By the way, I'll go find my master!
As I thought about this in my heart, I went downstairs. When I walked to the stairs, Xian'er glared at me. It seemed that I was blamed for leaving him alone.
I didn't dare to speak. I went to the bottom of the tower before I shouted upstairs: "Wait for me, I'll go find my master."
I endured the soreness on my body and ran home as fast as possible.
It was still early, but my mother had already gotten up. When she saw me coming back in a mess, she asked me what was wrong. I didn’t have the time to explain, so I quickly called my master’s mobile number.
At that time, it took a long time for a cell phone to dial the number to connect.
I looked at the clocks on the wall, and the seconds hand walked in small grids. Every time I walked, I felt like I was on fire.
At this time, the phone was connected. Before I could wait for my master to speak, I shouted to the phone: "Shener, something happened, Master, please save her!"
My master seemed to be stunned on the other side of the phone, and then asked me in a very anxious tone: "What's going on? What's wrong with that little fox ghost?"
I didn't mention a word about what happened last night, and shouted at my master: "She was hit by the yang energy, so quickly... it's almost impossible!"
At that time, I really didn't dare to say a word, just because I was afraid of wasting time. I was afraid that when I went back, Xian'er could no longer hold on, and I was really afraid that I would never see her in the future.
My master told me not to worry, and said there was a Mo Dou under his pillow. He asked me to use that Mo Dou to collect Xian'er's soul and call him after that.
Although my master told me not to worry, his tone was filled with deep concern, saying that I must collect the soul of Xian'er before six o'clock, otherwise it would be too late.
