moonlit night

The moment her eyes touched the puppets in the water, Qu Lanshan suddenly covered her mouth, forcing herself not to scream.But at this moment, the extreme fear in my heart cannot be covered up with my hands.

She saw countless things emitting silver light in the darkness floating toward her from below, reflecting the waters into silvery white.They are like lotus flowers sinking at the bottom of the water, blooming rapidly, but what is wrapped deep in the lotus heart is not a beautiful thing, but one after another hideous and ugly figurines.

Those human figurines are like countless bandaged zombies. They were motionless, their bodies were stiff, and their limbs only floated up and down with the sea water. They looked extremely stupid.But following a sharp whistle from above that almost pierced the eardrums, they were shocked like electric shocks, and their whole bodies trembled, as if they had suddenly come to life and were gradually coming alive.

Not only that, those arms that were originally stiff started to paddle the water with all their might.The body as hard as iron shot straight towards the water surface like shells fired one by one.

"Are you afraid?" Just when Qu Lanshan tried his best, but couldn't stop the trembling all over, Ning Yuanmei said lightly: "Don't force yourself. If you are afraid, don't read. Close your eyes and do everything. It was just a nightmare today."

After finishing her sentence, Qu Lanshan did not respond, her eyes were still wide open, as if her soul had been captured.Not only that, but the delicate body trembled even more.Seeing that she didn't appreciate her, Ning Yuanmei didn't say much anymore, his eyes just fixed on those puppets rushing to the sea, and he began to count quickly in his heart.But after counting, I found that the calculation was almost tens of thousands, and I couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

"No wonder you want to come here, so only the vast deep sea can hide such a huge number of puppets." She fell into deep thought, "When did he start planning this thing?"

Just when Ning Yuanmei began to think about how many days it would take to raise these puppets, Qu Lanshan finally spoke, but when she spoke, there was a thick trembling voice choked with sobs:

"Ning...Fairy Ning, I...I seem to see that there is a senior of my Sanskrit Sect in there."

"What senior?" Ning Yuanmei seemed to catch a clue from the mess and encouraged her: "Girl, think about it carefully and speak clearly."

"Probably... About ten years ago, that was the year when I went to Xiaoxiang with my elder brother to attend the Zhegui meeting." Qu Lanshan's face was too ugly, but because of Ning Yuanmei's words of encouragement, she managed to breathe out:

"When I returned to the Sanskrit Sect from Xiaoxiang, I heard that several high-level monks suddenly disappeared from our family, all of them were seniors of the elder level. My brother mobilized all forces to look for them, but for many years, there was no news. Unexpectedly... It turned out to be used by someone to make a puppet..."

When she said these words, her back was tightly pressed against the hard shell of the mussel under her feet, as if this was the only way to ensure that she would not sit on the ground like mud.Before the words fell, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly.

Only then did Ning Yuanmei know that she was afraid of becoming like this, not just because those puppets looked hideous, like nine ghosts, but also because she couldn't help feeling sad when she saw her seniors die tragically.Ning Yuanmei was already soft-hearted, but now seeing Qu Lanshan like this, she naturally felt sorry for her, so she got up and walked towards her, wanting to comfort the trembling girl.

But unexpectedly, Ning Yuanmei didn't act like this, it was a good thing, as soon as she got close, she touched Qu Lanshan's already precarious psychological defense line.The girl suddenly squatted down, buried her face tightly in her arms, and cried like a collapse: "His thread has also got into my body, I... I don't want to be like that! Fairy Ning, please!" You... beg you to save me!"

She cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining, which really made people worry.And Ning Yuanmei knew that if the battle was unfavorable later, the puppet master would definitely use Qu Lanshan to force Xiao Ziyuan to submit.And this kind of despicable behavior is something I never want to see a second time.

What's more, as a medical practitioner, she has never been able to remain indifferent to the word "save me".

As a result, Ning Yuanmei felt compassion again.Although he knew that getting rid of pulling silk would consume a lot of spiritual power, and he had already consumed a lot of it because of healing Yue Qingchen, otherwise he would not have easily fallen into Luo Mingchuan's way, but he still stepped forward and took Qu Lanshan into his arms .

She put her hand on the girl's most severely injured neck, and at the same time concentrated her breath, causing the rich wood aura to weave into a net outside her body, and all of it flowed into the wound.After carefully picking out each silver thread, Ning Yuanmei drew his sword out of its sheath and cut off all the harmful puppet threads. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off all the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said softly : "Okay, now, you will never become like that again..."

But before the word "了" came out of her mouth, she stopped suddenly and couldn't speak anymore.But he felt that his chest was as stiff as a slab of stone, and he was frozen in place, unable to move.

"This talisman only immobilizes you for half an hour. It will never do any other harm to you." Qu Lanshan withdrew from her embrace, then bit her lips tightly, and bowed to Ning Yuanmei three times in succession. Bowing, she swore: "I'm sorry, Fairy Ning, but I can't let you hurt Big Brother Xiao. When he is out of danger in the future, Lanshan is willing to accept all punishments. But right now... right now I must go and save him."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and went upstream desperately. The thin figure quickly merged with the group of puppets that also floated towards the sea, and Ning Yuanmei could no longer recognize them.Although the latter was extremely anxious, he couldn't move at all until the spell expired.

I don't know what's going on with the above situation, Ning Yuanmei thought worriedly, and I don't know if the puppet master can accomplish what he wants to do today.But after thinking about it, he also didn't know whether he wanted him to succeed or fail, so he didn't bother with this issue anymore.

After all, the most urgent thing at the moment is to try our best to break through the seal first, and then think about it.

But at this moment, the empty clam she was living in suddenly shook violently a few times, as if it was being hit by some huge object.Ning Yuanmei couldn't move his head and neck, so he could only keep his eyes straight and look out.But I saw a giant emerald green eye peeping inward, and the eyes were obvious, with anthropomorphic coldness and anger.

This is a giant sea dragon that should only appear when the depth of the sea is below a thousand feet.At this moment, it seemed to be awakened by the movement of the large-scale puppet tide below, and was confused for a while, so it was forced to avoid the shallow water layer.As a result, I realized something was wrong when I got up, so I was naturally very upset.

Looking at his expression, Ning Yuanmei seemed to be looking for someone to vent his anger on.And the oyster he was sitting on happened to be within its attack range.

This is, what a coincidence.

In the process of swimming towards the sea surface, Qu Lanshan almost collided with the iron-like bodies of several puppets one after another, and was directly thrown aside by the current brought up by them.She felt that her eyes were dark, her throat was sweet, and she even vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.But even so, he was still dominated by his worry about Xiao Ziyuan and his strong desire to survive, and he was unwilling to give up easily.

Seeing that she couldn't find an exit, she simply closed her eyes, and with a thought, she played a piano sound through the vibration of the surrounding cyclone.

Qu Lanshan's attainments in piano skills are quite high, and her talent is even greater than that of her brother.As early as ten years ago, she had already reached the point where she could control the piano with her heart even if she had nothing.Now time flies, and it has reached its peak.

Now that the qin music was played, not only did the puppets who were commanded by whistles shy away from her, but also scattered the sharp whistles above.Although he didn't know if he could help Xiao Ziyuan, he did his best.

Seeing that the gap had opened, Qu Lanshan immediately stopped the sound of the piano, and flew out from the hole formed by the puppet's retreat.But she kept an eye out, and didn't fly to the dragon boat immediately, but first hid in the shadow formed by the encirclement of the boats, and looked up anxiously, trying to find the figure of Xiao Ziyuan and the ghost in Tsing Yi.

Soon, Qu Lanshan saw Xiao Ziyuan in a panic on the boat that was protected by many boats in the middle.The crimson brocade robe that the man was originally wearing had already been cut several times by the silver threads that were almost everywhere in the air.There were also a few fresh bloodstains on the broad forehead and chin.

There was blood flowing down from the forehead, because there was no time to wipe it off, it quickly covered his face, making Xiao Ziyuan look very miserable.

But what makes Qu Lanshan most frightened is not just the blood on his face that constantly impacts people's vision.It was those wires that were as sharp as a blade and as nimble as a needle thread under Luo Mingchuan's control, which were about to completely seal off Xiao Ziyuan's last escape route.

A silver thread came from the left side and went straight to his left eye, Xiao Ziyuan dodged to the right side; a silver thread came from the front, aiming to shoot through his head, Xiao Ziyuan straightened his waist and straightened He fell backwards and rolled awkwardly on the ground, just avoiding the lifeline.

Several silver threads swept from below one after another, as if they wanted to cut off his feet directly.He had no choice but to support himself, and jumped up again, one step at a time, jumping faster and faster.Biansheng's tricky silver thread was also getting faster and faster, passing by the soles of his boots every time, refusing to give Xiao Ziyuan even the slightest chance to breathe.

In the few snaps of his fingers, he has flipped and moved countless times, each time barely avoiding the fatal move, as for the other parts, he is really powerless to take care of them.So soon, dozens of wounds, large and small, were added to his body.

Qu Lanshan watched anxiously, but the ghost didn't use the whistle, and she couldn't use the piano to help.But at this moment, her ears quickly picked up a few discordant noises from the noise around her.

"jingle" "jingle"

Yinxiu's hearing is excellent, so Qu Lanshan quickly found the source of the noise by following the sound.But after looking at it, he couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.

It turned out that there was a small golden bell hanging on each silver thread. Whenever Xiao Ziyuan's body touched the silver thread due to his lack of dodge, the bell would vibrate and make a crisp sound.When the tinkling sounded together, it was like playing a gorgeous piece of music that recorded Xiao Ziyuan's death process.

Some people like to hear the sound of death like this.

How much does he hate Brother Xiao?

Thinking of this, Qu Lanshan turned her head to look at Xiao Ziyuan's situation again, only to find that he was maintaining a half-kneeling position on the ground, with his head tilted in his direction, but he couldn't move at all.Because as long as it moves, it will touch the surrounding silver threads that have been connected like a spider web without knowing when.This fine spider web tightly wrapped him in it, even if he put on a pair of wings at this moment, he would be doomed.

Seeing this, although she didn't know what Xiao Ziyuan's expression was, Qu Lanshan's clear eyes were filled with tears.She made up her mind that today, no matter whether it is life or death, she will be with Xiao Ziyuan.So, he stood up straight and planned to walk out from the hiding place.

But Qu Lanshan just took a step, but suddenly saw a very pleasant smile blooming from the corner of Xiao Ziyuan's mouth.The other party obviously saw her too, but immediately, enduring the pain of the silver thread cutting his face, he shook his head desperately, as if forbidding her to approach.

Qu Lanshan's footsteps hesitated for a moment in the air, not knowing whether to land or not.But then, she heard several cracking sounds at the same time, her pupils could not help shrinking, and her right eyelid twitched wildly.

She saw that there were three silver threads with golden bells hanging in the air, and they were shooting from three different directions towards Xiao Ziyuan who was immobile in the middle of the deck. It seemed that in the next second, they would pierce through his chest and bring take his soul.But the other party closed his eyes, but the smile on his lips was still there, as if he had given up struggling.

"do not want!"

Qu Lanshan screamed, her legs went limp, she knelt down on the ground, she subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling tears streaming down her face.The sound of the silk thread piercing the flesh was expected, but it didn't sound for a long time.

The girl suppressed her fear and barely opened her eyes.

Within sight, in the middle of the plank, the tattered python robe has been thrown aside.Xiao Ziyuan only wore a clean white underwear, and although he still maintained a half-kneeling posture, he grasped the three golden bells and tightly held the three silver threads shot at him the previous moment, his eyes were sharp and cold, as if floating sea ​​with glacier.

It was like suddenly changing a person.

"Don't be safe, Mr. Luo." The man rushed to a small boat below and raised his voice: "I knew it, you won't die so easily."
