chasing shadows

Xia Ying stretched out her hand, moved the little finger of her right hand, and said, "You may not know, because I couldn't see, I tied an invisible thread on the fingers of Uncle Liu and the puppet, as long as they are within 100 meters of me , My finger will vibrate slightly, which makes me feel that they are alive or dead, and whether they are far or near. But now, "Uncle Liu" is clearly by my side, but I can't feel his existence. "

This little spell was learned by Xia Ying from reading the ancient book "Xiao Dao Lu" of Uncle Liu's family. It is called "One Line Leading". What the weak-rooted field practitioners have learned.

Because people with a certain level of cultivation have long borrowed the aura of heaven and earth to perceive each other, let alone a mere 100 meters, or even a few thousand meters can accurately determine the direction of the other party.As time goes by, "one-line lead" is mostly reduced to a flirting technique for the lover and concubine of a caring person.

"Uncle Liu" chuckled, "Then I'm really unlucky." Then she changed the topic, "Who is the little fairy? Even if I'm not 'Uncle Liu', I can't be the 'little fairy' you call, let alone be rash. What are you talking about about the man in white?"

Xia Ying said softly, "Do you know Che Ion?"

"Uncle Liu" said flatly: "I don't know, who is he?"

Xia Ying sighed: "Ten years ago, two families in Ping'an Town suffered from the plague and all died. The two families both raised the same girl, so the people in the town thought she was a disaster and evil star, and they locked her in the deep mountains and forests. Middle. One year later, Che Ion brought her back, because everyone opposed him, he took the girl into Poor Alley and lived there for three years."

"Three years have been considered peaceful. Che Ion called the girl a 'little fairy'. Although the life was hard, there was no lack of fun. However, after Che Ion and Qin Sanniang became close friends, the little fairy was not happy, and she dripped her heart on her fingers. Into the wound of Qin Sanniang’s son Lang’er, the plague worm penetrated into Lang’er’s body, Che Ion, in order to save Lang’er, more precisely to save the little fairy, led the plague worm to himself, and finally fell ill with the plague.”

"In order to save Che Ion, the little fairy used sorcery, fed the evil spirits with her body, drew a blood formation, separated Che Ion's shadow from her body, and wanted to collect the three souls and seven souls of Che Ion from other people in the world to revive Che Ion. So. So I turned into a man in white and did divination in the town, in order to find the right person for Che Ion's resurrection."

When Xia Ying lost her shadow for the first time, she also consulted books on various spells in Uncle Liu's study. At that time, she also saw records about this kind of magic:

Hundreds of years ago, in order to revive his sick and dead wife, a Taoist fed the evil spirits with his body before his wife died, broke the cycle of reincarnation, and drew an array with blood, and finally separated his wife from her shadow and body. After his wife died, three souls and seven Soul is also completely dissipated.

As long as you find the three souls and seven souls that match your wife in other living people, for example, you can get one soul from one person, one soul from another person, and then get another soul from another person, which is three souls.

Then get one soul from the fourth person, one soul from the fifth person, and so on to get seven souls.

These souls are the same as those of the person to be resurrected, and they are pieced together to become the so-called three souls and seven souls, and finally take the shape of a shadow. The dead person is not so much reborn as a reshaped person. .

When a Taoist feeds evil spirits with his body, he has the ability to know whether other people's souls can match him. The Taoist, who is neither human nor ghost, uses divination in the name of divination. People, and finally revived their wives, those who had their souls or souls taken away all died foolishly and tragically without accident.

Because this sorcery goes against the laws of nature and disregards human relations, the Taoist and his wife were killed by the joint sects of the major families after only one year of getting along.

The Taoist slaughtered countless people during the process of rescuing his wife. This kind of magic has long since left with the Taoist, completely disappeared, and no one practiced it anymore.Although there are good people, they have tried to use it, but the gains outweigh the losses. In the end, they just end up being haunted by evil spirits and cannot revive others.

'Uncle Liu' smiled and said in a flat tone, "It sounds like a sad story."

She regretted: "I only admit that I am not Uncle Liu, but I don't admit that I am the little fairy, the man in white, or the dead medicine you mentioned." Suspected."

Ah Bo smiled miserably: "Yes, it's me."

Xia Ying shook her head, and said to Ah Bo: "It's not Ah Bo, but I have to thank Ah Bo. Ah Bo has always given me a lot of reminders. If it wasn't for her, I might not have guessed so much."

"The first reminder was when the three of us encountered heavy fog. When Ah Bo took us to Kuyao's house, Kuyao's reaction was intense, even hostile. Obviously when we met Kuyao for the first time, he did not There is such a big resistance to us. Until we saw the so-called father of Kuyao, that is, Che Ion who is about to be resurrected."

"At that time, Kuyao's house was dark and there was no light. It was Ah Bo who lit the candle. Afterwards, Kuyao reacted violently and drove us out in a hurry. When we came out, the puppet secretly told me that Kuyao's father had no shadow. That's right, he hasn't been fully resurrected yet. , is not considered a living person, how can there be a shadow. After that, she told me that there are six people, but I didn't realize it at that time. Now that I think about it, if there are enough six people, there are still four people left, and Che Ion will be completely resurrected. .”

When Xia Ying said this, she touched her nose subconsciously. Although he had no shadow, after all, not everyone was in the same situation as him.At that time, he was able to see Ku Yao's father clearly at one moment, and then very blurry at another, and now he can see everything clearly when he thinks about it.

Xia Ying paused, and then continued: "At that time, I strayed into the alley of the poor, and it was Che Ion who brought me out with the bell. When I was at Kuyao's house, I heard the same bell again. It was from Kuyao's house. It was passed down from my father."

"Yesterday, I heard Ah Bo ringing a series of ringtones, reaffirming that Ku Yao's father is Che Ion. Besides the little fairy, Ku Yao beside Che Yao can't be anyone else."

'Uncle Liu' said softly: "Ah Bo helped you a lot." She tore off the skin on her face, revealing a girlish face covered with knife marks.

A strong bitter taste followed.

The smell of bitter medicine made the puppet frowned, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just hid behind Xia Ying and covered his nose.

Withered Yao pretended to be Uncle Liu, deliberately made it ugly, and kept a distance from Xia Ying and the puppet, in order to hide the smell of bitter medicine on her body.The wound that was used for the blood sacrifice and cut into pieces would crack every once in a while, so a lot of bitter medicine was needed to heal it.Today her wound opened again, she hastily applied the bitter medicine, within three days, the smell of medicine could not dissipate.

Bitter medicine, dry medicine, that's it.

Guan Cheng suddenly raised his hand and gave Ah Bo a slap, cursing, "Sinister!"

Xia Ying heard the sound and subconsciously wanted to protect Ah Bo, but she couldn't figure out the direction, so she could only helplessly shout: "Ah Bo, come behind me."

Ah Bo covered his face, "It's okay."

She looked at Guan Cheng: "Father, you said that I am evil, how can you be worthy of me? You drove Che Ion to death, and at the same time, your soul is in line with Che Ion. In order to survive, you can do anything Do it for her, let her give up killing you, and hope she can find another person who fits Che Ion's soul to replace you. You will always be loyal to her."

"The little fairy asked you to kill her son, and she believed in your loyalty, so you killed your brother without hesitation. You know that the little fairy killed many people in the town in order to revive Che Ion, and you still cover for him .”

"Not only that, but you also let me, your biological daughter, cover up what she did, pretending to be a man in white. On the surface, I was playing tricks, and you let Brother Kuyao accompany me to play tricks on others in the fog. In fact, it was to wait until In the end, I couldn’t bear it anymore, or Che Ion was revived, and you asked me to take the place of the man in white to suffer those sins! When you told Xia Ying what happened ten years ago, you specifically emphasized that I am not your biological daughter, but actually To make them look suspiciously at me."

"Yes, while I obeyed my father, I kept reminding Xia Ying that I am not reconciled. Dad, why do you treat me like this?"

Guan Cheng blushed, and wanted to raise his hand to hit her again, but was pushed away by the puppet, who grabbed Ah Bo and hid behind Xia Ying.

Dry medicine looked at them coldly: "So what? I am the man in white, and the little fairy is also dry medicine, but so what? Now Che Ion is about to be resurrected, only one person is missing, but it seems that there is only one person left." taken from the ground.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her figure was extremely fast, and she grabbed Guan Cheng by the throat: "You have lived long enough."
