The villain is soft and clingy [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 78 Bead Curtain 2
Zhang Kuang took off the power fence silently, revealing the white jade face hidden behind, with a smile on his black eyes, he called her softly, "Zhitao."
She hesitated, "How did you recognize it?"
Zhang Kuang is afraid of the cold, but he is not afraid of the heat at all. Wrapped in black brocade cloth for a long time, his expression is calm and composed, not even a trace of blush.
Xia Zhitao teased: "It's hard to admit it. In this hot day, you are the only one who wraps yourself up so tightly. Don't you feel bored?"
Zhang Kuang was at a loss for words, after he started to think seriously about himself, he still had to go to the Unknown Pavilion and buy a personal, leather, mask, or mask, otherwise he would always be recognized so easily, he was a little unconvinced.
Xia Zhitao smiled, and stopped teasing her, pretending to be serious, "My lord, Wang Yan and I came to look for Senior Sister Jin, why are you here?"
Wang Yan nodded, excitedly said: "It's been a long time, Mr. Master, why are you with Senior Sister Jin?"
Zhang Kuang continued to be at a loss for words, he couldn't tell the truth, Liu Ling and himself were waiting for Mrs. Gu Ji, but somehow Jin Li found him.
She turned her head silently, put her eyes on Jinli, and threatened with her eyes: "Hurry up and explain to Zhitao, if you don't explain well, you will be finished." '
Jin Li: "???"
Jin Li was shocked, so it's okay to let her lie to Wang Yan, who is not very good at thinking, but Xia Zhitao really dare not lie, because she is afraid that if she hasn't said a word, she has already been defeated, and all her secrets have been exposed.
The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't tell the reason. The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, and even Xiaoer couldn't stand it any longer.
Xia Zhitao was about to help mediate, but unexpectedly, after Zhang Kuang and the others left, another person rushed out from behind.
"Never mind him, I won't wait!!"
Liu Ling shouted sharply, with a ghostly figure like fog, her purple boots touched the wooden fence, and casually threw several arrows in their direction.
"The soul can't be completely completed in one day, and the possibility of dissipating is a little more." Liu Ling bit her lower lip and said angrily, "I don't have that much time!"
Liu Ya whizzed through the air, Zhang Kuang's expression tightened, and he slammed in front of Xia Zhitao's body, countless petals rushed towards him in an instant, crushing Liu Ya to pieces.
Immediately, the smoke and dust overflowed, and the flow arrow was cut into pieces by the petals, and fell to the ground crackling, splashing a cloud of dust.
Zhang Kuang's five fingers clenched tightly, his finger bones turned white with force, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Get out of here!"
"If you dare to attack Zhitao one more time," she sternly said word by word, "Tomorrow, the Qianren Mace will be removed from the Four Great Anti-Days!"
Liu Ling couldn't help being stunned, and said in surprise, "Wait, why is Xia Zhitao here?"
She came out to chase after Zhang Kuang, anyway, the other party is so high-level, throwing a few arrows to vent her anger, I really don't know that the leader's darling is also here.
There are other acquaintances in this small Xijiang Yuelou.Liu Ling took a few steps in disbelief, and she really saw three familiar girls right behind Zhang Kuang.
"No, it's fine that the little red fish came here suddenly," Liu Ling said with a headache, "Why are there two more Yashans here? Are you the leader of the Demon Cult?"
Jin Li pursed her lips, and said plausibly: "Young Master Liu, you don't know, the four of us gather at a table, and we can just play mahjong."
Liu Ling: "..."
Xia Zhitao: "..."
Zhang Kuang was a bit at a loss: "What is Mahjong?"
Wang Yan jumped up and down, and explained to her: "My lord, why don't you even know mahjong, just the forty-color leaf tiles in the folk hook bar, it's quite interesting."
Zhang Kuang said "Oh", and saw that Liu Ling really didn't know, but he still stood in front of Xia Zhitao, and said coldly: "Okay, since you don't want to wait, then get out."
Liu Ling clenched her fingers tightly, bit her lower lip unwillingly, turned around and left angrily.
Zhang Kuang didn't speak, someone approached quietly behind her, she was in a daze, Xia Zhitao approached her, put her five fingers into his palm, and said softly: "Don't be angry."
"Relying on the leader, I'm fine," Xia Zhitao frowned, smiling warmly, "You came all the way here, why didn't you come to find me?"
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a while, then turned his head a little bit, a little blush around the pinnae, like a green little red fruit, making people want to tap and touch it.
"Aren't you in the cliff mountain? How can I find you?" Zhang Kuang whispered, "Besides, it's not good for me to enter the cliff mountain...I'm afraid I will be kicked out."
Xia Zhitao couldn't help laughing at her slightly aggrieved voice, and logically changed the subject, saying, "Then Miss Liu, why are you here?"
"Didn't we put her friend's soul into the jade pendant in Youzhou before?" Zhang Kuang said, "something went wrong."
Xia Zhitao froze for a moment, and said, "Question?"
Zhang Kuang nodded, and explained to her in a low voice: "It's not about Zhitao's jade pendant, but about her friend's soul."
Xia Zhitao listened carefully, and recalled: "Wen Xiru?"
"Well, I thought it was a little weird before," Zhang Kuang said softly, "Wen Xiru's soul is so weak, it stands to reason that it should have dissipated long ago and returned to nothingness."
Xia Zhitao immediately understood what she meant, took the words, and said with concentration: "In this case, how did Wen Xiru stay on the cliff for so long without dissipating?"
She paused, and continued: "For several months in a row, not only were there no other souls devoured, but they just happened to be recruited by us?"
Zhang Kuang nodded: "I checked privately, and Wen Xiru is indeed a real person, but her soul is incomplete, and even if it resides in the jade pendant, it is gradually dissipating."
Xia Zhitao guessed: "That's why Liu Ling has been looking for you? Yun Ji didn't find it before, and chased him all the way to Zhujian Villa."
Zhang Kuang said: "Yes."
"...Liu Ling wants to use me to find the lord of the ghost market, the legendary Mrs. Bone Ji, to gather souls for her friends."
.
Xia Zhitao found a random reason and sent Wang Yan and Jin Li back, while she stayed and planned to further discuss the matter with Zhang Kuang.
Zhang Kuang said briefly, while Xia Zhitao was thinking about it, Liu Ling, who had just left in a panic, came back very unmotivated.
Holding the jade pendant, Liu Ling turned her head awkwardly, biting her lower lip like frost beating an eggplant, and said angrily, "Okay, can't I apologize?"
Xia Zhitao was not angry at all, and was about to say a few words to mediate, but was quietly stopped by Zhang Kuang.
Zhang Kuang hugged his shoulders, leaned against the wall, and said softly: "Young master, I can't feel the sincerity of your apology."
Liu Ling: "..."
As the owner of the Qianren Mace Pavilion, when had she ever been wronged like this, she was so angry that she almost rushed up to beat someone, and it took a long time before she finally endured it and let out a stern "tsk".
Xia Zhitao laughed, and said: "No need, Miss Wen's soul is on the verge of disappearing, we have to find a solution as soon as possible."
Zhang Kuang glanced at Liu Ling, gave her the look of 'I'll let you go today', and said, "Gu Ji has been unable to be contacted, maybe we can go to the ghost market to find her."
Liu Ling was surprised and said: "The ghost world is independent of the world, separated from the yin and yang where we are. Unless it is a coincidence, no one can enter."
Zhang Kuang said slowly: "Ordinary people naturally can't get in, but Mrs. Gu Ji opened a back door for me because she wanted something for me."
Xia Zhitao was a little surprised, she was so frightened of ghosts when she was in Youzhou before, but now she is asked to go to the ghost market, isn't it embarrassing for other children?
Sure enough, Zhang Kuang lowered his head aggrievedly, and whispered beside Xia Zhitao, "But I don't want to go."
Xia Zhitao stroked her soft long hair, and comforted her: "It's okay, if you don't want to go, don't go."
But Zhang Kuang said something wrong, although he was secretly afraid, he still bit the bullet and prepared to take a trip to a ghost market that he had never been to before.
Liu Ling was already in a hurry to find Gu Ji, so she agreed immediately, but Xia Zhitao calmly followed the two on the grounds that she "wanted to see the excitement".
Zhang Kuang took out a scroll from the animal tooth pendant, followed the signs on it, and led the two of them out of the market at the foot of the mountain, and walked along the road for a long time.
The surrounding population is gradually decreasing, and gradually no one is talking loudly, shops are hawking, and it turns into a piece of whirling branches and leaves. After the wind dies down, only silence remains.
Several people came to a gloomy forest.
Zhang Kuang stopped silently, while Liu Ling poked her head to look twice, and said, "It's far enough away from Yashan, isn't it? What's going on with the 'back door' that Gu Ji gave you?"
Zhang Kuang said depressedly: "I don't know either. If I need it, I always call Gu Ji directly, and I never want to come to the ghost market."
She sighed, reluctantly said: "I never thought that this scroll would come in handy one day."
There are no accumulations of branches and leaves in the forest, and even the ordinary flowers and plants are invisible. The gray soil is deeply and shallowly paved on the ground, which has a strange and unnatural feeling.
And in the middle of the dense forest, there is a lonely stone tablet, with a few crooked marks carved on it, and the outline of the characters can be vaguely seen, but it is impossible to tell what kind of characters it is.
Zhang Kuang said: "It should be this."
She closed the scroll and tossed it casually, and the scroll rolled out a long string with a rumble, and stopped quietly in front of the lonely grave.
"Zhitao." Hearing Zhang Kuang calling her, Xia Zhitao took a few steps forward, stood beside her, and turned her head to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Kuang pursed his lips and smiled, his tail tone raised a little bit, with a little pride: "Let me tell you, I went to ask the old man specially afterwards, and now I will use fire."
It's been so long since the ninth floor of the Demon Forest, and I didn't expect the other party to still think about it, Xia Zhitao couldn't help laughing, blinked, and said, "Come on, show me one."
Zhang Kuang nodded obediently and snapped his fingers.
With a soft "click", a small flame suddenly burst out, leaped to the top of the scroll, and instantly ignited all the scrolls.
Sparks overflowed and spread all the way on the scroll, swallowing the rolled noodles into the stomach, making a "cluster" burning sound.
Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "It's amazing."
Liu Ling was speechless watching from the side, and couldn't help but said: "It's just a fire trick, what's there to be proud of, you can show it off?"
Zhang Kuang glared at her, countless clear petals gushed out in the wind, and instantly condensed into countless quenching long swords.Without the slightest hesitation, with a light wave of his fingertips, the lightsabers mercilessly charged towards Liu Ling.
Liu Ling panicked: "What are you doing!!"
She hastily summoned her demonic energy to block it, and finally managed to block the opponent's attack. Ziyi was cut several times, and she raised her head in embarrassment.
Zhang Kuang stood on the spot with a calm expression, raised his hand to caress his knuckles, and said with a sneer, "Why, I can still hold a long sword."
Liu Ling: "..."
Zhang Kuang usually looks indifferent, and he has a good appearance comparable to the Yashan fairy. He never expected that once Xia Zhitao's matter was involved, he would suddenly become so vengeful.
Liu Ling angrily got up from the ground, patted the dust on her sleeves, and said, "That's all right, all right, the opposite is the first, you have the final say on how good you are."
Zhang Kuang sighed: "This is not enough."
Liu Ling was exhausted after hearing this, and said, "Okay, I can't beat you, so I shut up."
The majestic young master of Qianren mace, from being a domineering overlord to an adult, has always trampled on other people's children.
Now meeting Zhang Kuang, every time he is pressed and beaten by the opponent, he has no power to fight back, it is extremely aggrieved.
Just now, she was mad and smashed at least dozens of spirit swords at her. Liu Ling was beaten into a mess, her arms kept covering her chest, no matter how badly she was beaten, she didn't let go, as if she was protecting something.
But now that she lowered her arm, the two of them found that what Liu Ling was carefully guarding was a warm and clear jade pendant.
The jade pendant was carefully threaded through by the red rope, sticking to the throbbing heart, hiding a thin and transparent soul that was about to disperse.
.
The scroll burned quietly, and the sound of burning was muffled in the grayish-white soil, making it indistinct as if trapped.
But within a few breaths, the scroll was completely burned when it was spread out, leaving a pale mark on the ground.
Xia Zhitao understands what happened to the "back door" Mrs. Gu Ji opened for Zhang Kuang.
Along the pale white mark, the sun was split, the dawn was clear, and the woods, which were dark and silent just now, suddenly lit up continuous light spots.
Dim candles lit up one after another, tracing a narrow and dead path.The path led into the depths of the forest and ended in darkness.
The candles are long and short, dotting the side of the path unevenly, being blown by the cold wind and flickering, cutting out countless gloomy light spots in the dark night.
Zhang Kuang's complexion was pale, and he murmured: "No wonder Mrs. Gu Ji made a vow when she gave me the scroll, saying that she kindly helped me light a bunch of candles, absolutely don't worry, I will definitely find the way..."
This is too sweet! ! !
It's okay not to light a candle, but with a candle, the horror level of this hidden grove will be directly multiplied by ten times.
The blood-red candles, the ashes-white ground, and the whirring cold wind——
Not to mention the faltering, maddened madness, Xia Zhitao, who has been baptized by various modern horror movies, feels a little trembling watching it.
"Or...or Liu Ling, you can go by yourself," Zhang Kuang was completely panicked, with at least ten spiritual blades accumulated in his five fingers, "Zhitao, let's go back, shall we?"
Liu Ling glanced at the two of them, feeling a little helpless, and said, "Why are you so afraid of being the leader of the Demon Cult?"
"Who said I'm scared?" Zhang Kuang's voice trembled a little, "It's just a ghost town, one or two lonely souls, how can I still use this seat?!"
Liu Ling thought to herself that you were half a head taller than Xia Zhitao, and you were holding up his sleeves with your hands so hard that your knuckles turned white, so the devil couldn't see that you were afraid.
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door," Liu Ling sneered, "I'm not afraid of throwing blood pools and feeding hungry tigers, I killed so many people, why are you panicking?"
As she spoke, she waved her sleeves, and walked directly onto the dark path calmly, without turning her head, her figure gradually moved away, and after a while, she merged into the darkness.
"Xiao Kuang, are you planning to go?"
Xia Zhitao felt a little weird at first, but she soon calmed down, but the person beside her was already pale, as if she had been bullied miserably, looking very pitiful.
Zhang Kuang said: "Go... why not go."
"My spiritual energy has been unstable in recent days, and the pills that happened to be used to suppress the spiritual energy have run out," her voice became weaker and weaker, "I have to buy some from Xun Gu Ji."
Xia Zhitao quickly grasped the point, and asked, "The spiritual energy is not stable? What kind of elixir? What are the sequelae?"
Zhang Kuang slipped the tongue again, and after a long silence, he carefully explained a few words: "A small aftereffect of excessive consumption of spiritual power, use pills to suppress it, eh? You are——"
Before she finished speaking, Xia Zhitao rushed over and grabbed her by the collar, Zhang Kuang was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, and Wu Mo stared at her blankly.
"Let me guess, the elixir from Ghost City?"
Xia Zhitao said every word, biting the words extremely hard, with a slight tremor in her voice: "The Spirit Devouring Pill that can swallow the spiritual energy in the body and suppress the cultivation level, right?!"
Zhang Kuang is really not her opponent, and Xia Zhitao guessed everything in a few words, and whispered, "Well, it's that one."
"You bastard, are you really trying to piss me off?!" Xia Zhitao lost control a little bit, and said fiercely, "You don't want to die, how many coins did you use?!"
As its name suggests, Spirit Devouring Pill is extremely domineering, and it is sent by the sect to punish unfaithful people. With only one pill, ordinary people will immediately bleed to death from seven orifices; bone.
A long time ago, when Zhang Kuang exchanged a dark black box with Mrs. Gu Ji with a spirit spar, Xia Zhitao vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know Zhang Kuang well at that time, so she didn't say anything.
There are so many pills in the world, she never thought that Mrs. Gu Ji's madness is really a spirit-devouring pill.
"Zhitao, don't be angry,"
Zhang Kuang raised his hand to caress her wrist, raised his head slightly, the corners of his eyes were stained with water-colored red, he was flustered and at a loss, and begged her softly, "I'm sorry."
Xia Zhitao grabbed her collar by the hand, raised her chin slightly, and her neck formed a slender line from her collarbone, exposing the most vulnerable parts.
Zhang Kuang didn't dare to look at her, and explained in a trembling voice: "Ever since I thought you... Ever since Asura Dao, I have no way to control my spiritual power anymore."
Her voice was painful and self-reproachful, full of apology: "I lost control several times before, the first time I smashed the Qiling Hall, and the second time I almost hurt the old man on the ninth floor of the Demon Forest."
"I can easily break the nine seals of Yashan, and I can destroy the Demon Lock Tower at will. I'm not afraid of Immortal No. 1, but I can't control the aura. I don't know what to do, so I won't—"
so as not to hurt you.
The last sentence suddenly stopped, without continuing, the remaining syllables were submerged in the throat cavity, melting into a soft and fuzzy sound.
Xia Zhitao was indeed angry, but more of it was endless heartache, her chest seemed to be heavily pressed by something, and she couldn't breathe at all.
"You... oh..."
Xia Zhitao didn't know what to say, she loosened her five fingers unconsciously, Zhang Kuang was no longer restrained by her, and quietly stepped back a little, looking down at the ground, not daring to speak.
"Sorry, it's not your fault," Xia Zhitao calmed down, calmed down a little, and said softly, "I shouldn't be angry with you."
Zhang Kuang didn't speak, but Xia Zhitao moved her body, sat down beside her, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Xiao Kuang, I hope you can tell me if you have something to do."
Xia Zhitao turned her head, looked at her steadfastly, and said softly: "No matter what, as long as you say it, the two of you can solve it together, can't you?"
She knew too well the arrogant nature, the child didn't know what happened to her before, she liked to hide everything and refused to talk about it, no matter how painful the wound was, she just gritted her teeth and swallowed all the blood.
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Okay."
Xia Zhitao sighed, and continued to talk: "Spirit Devouring Pill is too harmful to both cultivation and mind. If you can't control the spiritual energy, there will always be other ways."
If there are other methods, Xia Zhitao can't tell the reason, but the most important thing is: where did the aura of arrogance start and why did it get out of control——
She was still a little confused about this question.
In the original book, it was never mentioned that there was any problem with the operation of Zhang Kuang's aura, and Zhang Kuang just mentioned "Asura Dao", so what happened before and after the "Asura Dao" incident, which caused her aura to go out of control?
There are so few clues, Xia Zhitao's head hurts from thinking about it, and she only hates that she can't go back to the modern age immediately, read the original novel over and over again for [-] times, and use a magnifying glass to look for clues between the lines.
.
There was a commotion in their room, Liu Ling's figure had already disappeared completely, seeing that the guiding red candle was about to burn out, Zhang Kuang sneaked over a little bit, and said guiltily, "Zhitao."
"Liu Ling has long since disappeared, and the candles are almost burnt out," she asked in a low voice, "Should we still go to the ghost market?"
Xia Zhitao gave her a sidelong glance, and said, "Go, why not go, go right now."
The two stood up, seeing that the red candle was about to burn out, and without delay, they immediately stepped across the "boundary" drawn by the scroll.
Just after crossing the white mark, the aura around them suddenly changed. They were clearly walking on the path in the forest, but there was nothing in all directions, as if they could hear echoes.
There is a thick layer of incense ash piled up on the ground, which feels extremely weird to the touch, and the accumulation is not very tight. Every time you take a step, there will be a weird "creaking" sound under your feet, which makes people feel hairy.
"Since Mrs. Gu Ji has some spirit-eating pills," Xia Zhitao thought, "then she must have other pills, right? Shiquan Dabu Pills, Ganoderma Lucidum Pills, etc. I'll give you a bunch of pills then." repair."
Zhang Kuang whispered: "Those are for replenishing qi and blood."
Xia Zhitao didn't turn her head back, and said in a low voice: "Look at your pale face, you just need to replenish your blood, so I'll give you a stew of black-bone chicken soup."
Zhang Kuang: "???"
In fact, Xia Zhitao may have thought too seriously. Although Zhang Kuang has always been unstable in his aura, this "instability" has only gone up, never down.
Zhang Kuang wanted to find something to justify, but realized that if he refuted, there was a high probability that he would not be able to drink the black chicken soup stewed by Zhitao, so he decided to shut up silently and follow behind quietly and obediently.
After walking for a long distance, I could suddenly hear some loud noises in the distance, the sound of clappers bursting out, suona mourning, and countless pieces of white paper rushed towards me. Xia Zhitao took the next piece and found that it was actually made of white paper. little flower.
The narrow path became wider and wider, and finally stopped at a bright and lively market.
The bazaar was built on a grand grand bridge. The bridge was brightly lit and people were coming and going, but there was a dead silence under the bridge. The crimson river was rushing by, and it seemed that sporadic wailing could be faintly heard.
On the huge bridge pier made of white bones, sat a tall and burly man with a huge figure. The big man wore a crown of blue-faced fangs and squinted at the two of them: "Live?"
"A living person dares to break into the ghost market, he is looking for death!" The big man's voice was like thunder, shaking the ground rumbling, "I guard the entrance of this ghost market, I advise you to turn back quickly, or—"
The big man patted the pier under his body, stood up abruptly, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "I have been hungry for so many years, but I want to taste the taste of this living person!"
Zhang Kuang sneered: "Oh, really?"
The author has something to say: Mrs. Gu Ji: Take a look, take a look, Madam, besides the Spirit Devouring Pill, there are also mouths, mouths, mouths, and mouths, all kinds, Everything you need.
Xia Zhitao: Ma'am, why were all the names you mentioned were blocked by a certain Jin and Jiang?
Mrs. Gu Ji: Don't worry about it.
She hesitated, "How did you recognize it?"
Zhang Kuang is afraid of the cold, but he is not afraid of the heat at all. Wrapped in black brocade cloth for a long time, his expression is calm and composed, not even a trace of blush.
Xia Zhitao teased: "It's hard to admit it. In this hot day, you are the only one who wraps yourself up so tightly. Don't you feel bored?"
Zhang Kuang was at a loss for words, after he started to think seriously about himself, he still had to go to the Unknown Pavilion and buy a personal, leather, mask, or mask, otherwise he would always be recognized so easily, he was a little unconvinced.
Xia Zhitao smiled, and stopped teasing her, pretending to be serious, "My lord, Wang Yan and I came to look for Senior Sister Jin, why are you here?"
Wang Yan nodded, excitedly said: "It's been a long time, Mr. Master, why are you with Senior Sister Jin?"
Zhang Kuang continued to be at a loss for words, he couldn't tell the truth, Liu Ling and himself were waiting for Mrs. Gu Ji, but somehow Jin Li found him.
She turned her head silently, put her eyes on Jinli, and threatened with her eyes: "Hurry up and explain to Zhitao, if you don't explain well, you will be finished." '
Jin Li: "???"
Jin Li was shocked, so it's okay to let her lie to Wang Yan, who is not very good at thinking, but Xia Zhitao really dare not lie, because she is afraid that if she hasn't said a word, she has already been defeated, and all her secrets have been exposed.
The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't tell the reason. The atmosphere was very awkward for a while, and even Xiaoer couldn't stand it any longer.
Xia Zhitao was about to help mediate, but unexpectedly, after Zhang Kuang and the others left, another person rushed out from behind.
"Never mind him, I won't wait!!"
Liu Ling shouted sharply, with a ghostly figure like fog, her purple boots touched the wooden fence, and casually threw several arrows in their direction.
"The soul can't be completely completed in one day, and the possibility of dissipating is a little more." Liu Ling bit her lower lip and said angrily, "I don't have that much time!"
Liu Ya whizzed through the air, Zhang Kuang's expression tightened, and he slammed in front of Xia Zhitao's body, countless petals rushed towards him in an instant, crushing Liu Ya to pieces.
Immediately, the smoke and dust overflowed, and the flow arrow was cut into pieces by the petals, and fell to the ground crackling, splashing a cloud of dust.
Zhang Kuang's five fingers clenched tightly, his finger bones turned white with force, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Get out of here!"
"If you dare to attack Zhitao one more time," she sternly said word by word, "Tomorrow, the Qianren Mace will be removed from the Four Great Anti-Days!"
Liu Ling couldn't help being stunned, and said in surprise, "Wait, why is Xia Zhitao here?"
She came out to chase after Zhang Kuang, anyway, the other party is so high-level, throwing a few arrows to vent her anger, I really don't know that the leader's darling is also here.
There are other acquaintances in this small Xijiang Yuelou.Liu Ling took a few steps in disbelief, and she really saw three familiar girls right behind Zhang Kuang.
"No, it's fine that the little red fish came here suddenly," Liu Ling said with a headache, "Why are there two more Yashans here? Are you the leader of the Demon Cult?"
Jin Li pursed her lips, and said plausibly: "Young Master Liu, you don't know, the four of us gather at a table, and we can just play mahjong."
Liu Ling: "..."
Xia Zhitao: "..."
Zhang Kuang was a bit at a loss: "What is Mahjong?"
Wang Yan jumped up and down, and explained to her: "My lord, why don't you even know mahjong, just the forty-color leaf tiles in the folk hook bar, it's quite interesting."
Zhang Kuang said "Oh", and saw that Liu Ling really didn't know, but he still stood in front of Xia Zhitao, and said coldly: "Okay, since you don't want to wait, then get out."
Liu Ling clenched her fingers tightly, bit her lower lip unwillingly, turned around and left angrily.
Zhang Kuang didn't speak, someone approached quietly behind her, she was in a daze, Xia Zhitao approached her, put her five fingers into his palm, and said softly: "Don't be angry."

Zhang Kuang was stunned for a while, then turned his head a little bit, a little blush around the pinnae, like a green little red fruit, making people want to tap and touch it.
"Aren't you in the cliff mountain? How can I find you?" Zhang Kuang whispered, "Besides, it's not good for me to enter the cliff mountain...I'm afraid I will be kicked out."

Xia Zhitao froze for a moment, and said, "Question?"
Zhang Kuang nodded, and explained to her in a low voice: "It's not about Zhitao's jade pendant, but about her friend's soul."
Xia Zhitao listened carefully, and recalled: "Wen Xiru?"
"Well, I thought it was a little weird before," Zhang Kuang said softly, "Wen Xiru's soul is so weak, it stands to reason that it should have dissipated long ago and returned to nothingness."
Xia Zhitao immediately understood what she meant, took the words, and said with concentration: "In this case, how did Wen Xiru stay on the cliff for so long without dissipating?"

Xia Zhitao guessed: "That's why Liu Ling has been looking for you? Yun Ji didn't find it before, and chased him all the way to Zhujian Villa."
Zhang Kuang said: "Yes."
"...Liu Ling wants to use me to find the lord of the ghost market, the legendary Mrs. Bone Ji, to gather souls for her friends."
.
Xia Zhitao found a random reason and sent Wang Yan and Jin Li back, while she stayed and planned to further discuss the matter with Zhang Kuang.
Zhang Kuang said briefly, while Xia Zhitao was thinking about it, Liu Ling, who had just left in a panic, came back very unmotivated.

Xia Zhitao was a little surprised, she was so frightened of ghosts when she was in Youzhou before, but now she is asked to go to the ghost market, isn't it embarrassing for other children?
Sure enough, Zhang Kuang lowered his head aggrievedly, and whispered beside Xia Zhitao, "But I don't want to go."
Xia Zhitao stroked her soft long hair, and comforted her: "It's okay, if you don't want to go, don't go."
But Zhang Kuang said something wrong, although he was secretly afraid, he still bit the bullet and prepared to take a trip to a ghost market that he had never been to before.
Liu Ling was already in a hurry to find Gu Ji, so she agreed immediately, but Xia Zhitao calmly followed the two on the grounds that she "wanted to see the excitement".
Zhang Kuang took out a scroll from the animal tooth pendant, followed the signs on it, and led the two of them out of the market at the foot of the mountain, and walked along the road for a long time.
The surrounding population is gradually decreasing, and gradually no one is talking loudly, shops are hawking, and it turns into a piece of whirling branches and leaves. After the wind dies down, only silence remains.
Several people came to a gloomy forest.
Zhang Kuang stopped silently, while Liu Ling poked her head to look twice, and said, "It's far enough away from Yashan, isn't it? What's going on with the 'back door' that Gu Ji gave you?"
Zhang Kuang said depressedly: "I don't know either. If I need it, I always call Gu Ji directly, and I never want to come to the ghost market."
She sighed, reluctantly said: "I never thought that this scroll would come in handy one day."
There are no accumulations of branches and leaves in the forest, and even the ordinary flowers and plants are invisible. The gray soil is deeply and shallowly paved on the ground, which has a strange and unnatural feeling.
And in the middle of the dense forest, there is a lonely stone tablet, with a few crooked marks carved on it, and the outline of the characters can be vaguely seen, but it is impossible to tell what kind of characters it is.
Zhang Kuang said: "It should be this."
She closed the scroll and tossed it casually, and the scroll rolled out a long string with a rumble, and stopped quietly in front of the lonely grave.
"Zhitao." Hearing Zhang Kuang calling her, Xia Zhitao took a few steps forward, stood beside her, and turned her head to look at her: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Kuang pursed his lips and smiled, his tail tone raised a little bit, with a little pride: "Let me tell you, I went to ask the old man specially afterwards, and now I will use fire."
It's been so long since the ninth floor of the Demon Forest, and I didn't expect the other party to still think about it, Xia Zhitao couldn't help laughing, blinked, and said, "Come on, show me one."
Zhang Kuang nodded obediently and snapped his fingers.
With a soft "click", a small flame suddenly burst out, leaped to the top of the scroll, and instantly ignited all the scrolls.
Sparks overflowed and spread all the way on the scroll, swallowing the rolled noodles into the stomach, making a "cluster" burning sound.
Xia Zhitao smiled and said, "It's amazing."
Liu Ling was speechless watching from the side, and couldn't help but said: "It's just a fire trick, what's there to be proud of, you can show it off?"
Zhang Kuang glared at her, countless clear petals gushed out in the wind, and instantly condensed into countless quenching long swords.Without the slightest hesitation, with a light wave of his fingertips, the lightsabers mercilessly charged towards Liu Ling.
Liu Ling panicked: "What are you doing!!"
She hastily summoned her demonic energy to block it, and finally managed to block the opponent's attack. Ziyi was cut several times, and she raised her head in embarrassment.
Zhang Kuang stood on the spot with a calm expression, raised his hand to caress his knuckles, and said with a sneer, "Why, I can still hold a long sword."
Liu Ling: "..."
Zhang Kuang usually looks indifferent, and he has a good appearance comparable to the Yashan fairy. He never expected that once Xia Zhitao's matter was involved, he would suddenly become so vengeful.
Liu Ling angrily got up from the ground, patted the dust on her sleeves, and said, "That's all right, all right, the opposite is the first, you have the final say on how good you are."
Zhang Kuang sighed: "This is not enough."
Liu Ling was exhausted after hearing this, and said, "Okay, I can't beat you, so I shut up."
The majestic young master of Qianren mace, from being a domineering overlord to an adult, has always trampled on other people's children.
Now meeting Zhang Kuang, every time he is pressed and beaten by the opponent, he has no power to fight back, it is extremely aggrieved.
Just now, she was mad and smashed at least dozens of spirit swords at her. Liu Ling was beaten into a mess, her arms kept covering her chest, no matter how badly she was beaten, she didn't let go, as if she was protecting something.
But now that she lowered her arm, the two of them found that what Liu Ling was carefully guarding was a warm and clear jade pendant.
The jade pendant was carefully threaded through by the red rope, sticking to the throbbing heart, hiding a thin and transparent soul that was about to disperse.
.
The scroll burned quietly, and the sound of burning was muffled in the grayish-white soil, making it indistinct as if trapped.
But within a few breaths, the scroll was completely burned when it was spread out, leaving a pale mark on the ground.
Xia Zhitao understands what happened to the "back door" Mrs. Gu Ji opened for Zhang Kuang.
Along the pale white mark, the sun was split, the dawn was clear, and the woods, which were dark and silent just now, suddenly lit up continuous light spots.
Dim candles lit up one after another, tracing a narrow and dead path.The path led into the depths of the forest and ended in darkness.
The candles are long and short, dotting the side of the path unevenly, being blown by the cold wind and flickering, cutting out countless gloomy light spots in the dark night.
Zhang Kuang's complexion was pale, and he murmured: "No wonder Mrs. Gu Ji made a vow when she gave me the scroll, saying that she kindly helped me light a bunch of candles, absolutely don't worry, I will definitely find the way..."
This is too sweet! ! !
It's okay not to light a candle, but with a candle, the horror level of this hidden grove will be directly multiplied by ten times.
The blood-red candles, the ashes-white ground, and the whirring cold wind——
Not to mention the faltering, maddened madness, Xia Zhitao, who has been baptized by various modern horror movies, feels a little trembling watching it.
"Or...or Liu Ling, you can go by yourself," Zhang Kuang was completely panicked, with at least ten spiritual blades accumulated in his five fingers, "Zhitao, let's go back, shall we?"
Liu Ling glanced at the two of them, feeling a little helpless, and said, "Why are you so afraid of being the leader of the Demon Cult?"
"Who said I'm scared?" Zhang Kuang's voice trembled a little, "It's just a ghost town, one or two lonely souls, how can I still use this seat?!"
Liu Ling thought to herself that you were half a head taller than Xia Zhitao, and you were holding up his sleeves with your hands so hard that your knuckles turned white, so the devil couldn't see that you were afraid.
"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door," Liu Ling sneered, "I'm not afraid of throwing blood pools and feeding hungry tigers, I killed so many people, why are you panicking?"
As she spoke, she waved her sleeves, and walked directly onto the dark path calmly, without turning her head, her figure gradually moved away, and after a while, she merged into the darkness.
"Xiao Kuang, are you planning to go?"
Xia Zhitao felt a little weird at first, but she soon calmed down, but the person beside her was already pale, as if she had been bullied miserably, looking very pitiful.
Zhang Kuang said: "Go... why not go."
"My spiritual energy has been unstable in recent days, and the pills that happened to be used to suppress the spiritual energy have run out," her voice became weaker and weaker, "I have to buy some from Xun Gu Ji."
Xia Zhitao quickly grasped the point, and asked, "The spiritual energy is not stable? What kind of elixir? What are the sequelae?"
Zhang Kuang slipped the tongue again, and after a long silence, he carefully explained a few words: "A small aftereffect of excessive consumption of spiritual power, use pills to suppress it, eh? You are——"
Before she finished speaking, Xia Zhitao rushed over and grabbed her by the collar, Zhang Kuang was so frightened that he immediately fell silent, and Wu Mo stared at her blankly.
"Let me guess, the elixir from Ghost City?"
Xia Zhitao said every word, biting the words extremely hard, with a slight tremor in her voice: "The Spirit Devouring Pill that can swallow the spiritual energy in the body and suppress the cultivation level, right?!"
Zhang Kuang is really not her opponent, and Xia Zhitao guessed everything in a few words, and whispered, "Well, it's that one."
"You bastard, are you really trying to piss me off?!" Xia Zhitao lost control a little bit, and said fiercely, "You don't want to die, how many coins did you use?!"
As its name suggests, Spirit Devouring Pill is extremely domineering, and it is sent by the sect to punish unfaithful people. With only one pill, ordinary people will immediately bleed to death from seven orifices; bone.
A long time ago, when Zhang Kuang exchanged a dark black box with Mrs. Gu Ji with a spirit spar, Xia Zhitao vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know Zhang Kuang well at that time, so she didn't say anything.
There are so many pills in the world, she never thought that Mrs. Gu Ji's madness is really a spirit-devouring pill.
"Zhitao, don't be angry,"
Zhang Kuang raised his hand to caress her wrist, raised his head slightly, the corners of his eyes were stained with water-colored red, he was flustered and at a loss, and begged her softly, "I'm sorry."
Xia Zhitao grabbed her collar by the hand, raised her chin slightly, and her neck formed a slender line from her collarbone, exposing the most vulnerable parts.
Zhang Kuang didn't dare to look at her, and explained in a trembling voice: "Ever since I thought you... Ever since Asura Dao, I have no way to control my spiritual power anymore."
Her voice was painful and self-reproachful, full of apology: "I lost control several times before, the first time I smashed the Qiling Hall, and the second time I almost hurt the old man on the ninth floor of the Demon Forest."
"I can easily break the nine seals of Yashan, and I can destroy the Demon Lock Tower at will. I'm not afraid of Immortal No. 1, but I can't control the aura. I don't know what to do, so I won't—"
so as not to hurt you.
The last sentence suddenly stopped, without continuing, the remaining syllables were submerged in the throat cavity, melting into a soft and fuzzy sound.
Xia Zhitao was indeed angry, but more of it was endless heartache, her chest seemed to be heavily pressed by something, and she couldn't breathe at all.
"You... oh..."
Xia Zhitao didn't know what to say, she loosened her five fingers unconsciously, Zhang Kuang was no longer restrained by her, and quietly stepped back a little, looking down at the ground, not daring to speak.
"Sorry, it's not your fault," Xia Zhitao calmed down, calmed down a little, and said softly, "I shouldn't be angry with you."
Zhang Kuang didn't speak, but Xia Zhitao moved her body, sat down beside her, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Xiao Kuang, I hope you can tell me if you have something to do."
Xia Zhitao turned her head, looked at her steadfastly, and said softly: "No matter what, as long as you say it, the two of you can solve it together, can't you?"
She knew too well the arrogant nature, the child didn't know what happened to her before, she liked to hide everything and refused to talk about it, no matter how painful the wound was, she just gritted her teeth and swallowed all the blood.
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Okay."
Xia Zhitao sighed, and continued to talk: "Spirit Devouring Pill is too harmful to both cultivation and mind. If you can't control the spiritual energy, there will always be other ways."
If there are other methods, Xia Zhitao can't tell the reason, but the most important thing is: where did the aura of arrogance start and why did it get out of control——
She was still a little confused about this question.
In the original book, it was never mentioned that there was any problem with the operation of Zhang Kuang's aura, and Zhang Kuang just mentioned "Asura Dao", so what happened before and after the "Asura Dao" incident, which caused her aura to go out of control?
There are so few clues, Xia Zhitao's head hurts from thinking about it, and she only hates that she can't go back to the modern age immediately, read the original novel over and over again for [-] times, and use a magnifying glass to look for clues between the lines.
.
There was a commotion in their room, Liu Ling's figure had already disappeared completely, seeing that the guiding red candle was about to burn out, Zhang Kuang sneaked over a little bit, and said guiltily, "Zhitao."
"Liu Ling has long since disappeared, and the candles are almost burnt out," she asked in a low voice, "Should we still go to the ghost market?"
Xia Zhitao gave her a sidelong glance, and said, "Go, why not go, go right now."
The two stood up, seeing that the red candle was about to burn out, and without delay, they immediately stepped across the "boundary" drawn by the scroll.
Just after crossing the white mark, the aura around them suddenly changed. They were clearly walking on the path in the forest, but there was nothing in all directions, as if they could hear echoes.
There is a thick layer of incense ash piled up on the ground, which feels extremely weird to the touch, and the accumulation is not very tight. Every time you take a step, there will be a weird "creaking" sound under your feet, which makes people feel hairy.
"Since Mrs. Gu Ji has some spirit-eating pills," Xia Zhitao thought, "then she must have other pills, right? Shiquan Dabu Pills, Ganoderma Lucidum Pills, etc. I'll give you a bunch of pills then." repair."
Zhang Kuang whispered: "Those are for replenishing qi and blood."
Xia Zhitao didn't turn her head back, and said in a low voice: "Look at your pale face, you just need to replenish your blood, so I'll give you a stew of black-bone chicken soup."
Zhang Kuang: "???"
In fact, Xia Zhitao may have thought too seriously. Although Zhang Kuang has always been unstable in his aura, this "instability" has only gone up, never down.
Zhang Kuang wanted to find something to justify, but realized that if he refuted, there was a high probability that he would not be able to drink the black chicken soup stewed by Zhitao, so he decided to shut up silently and follow behind quietly and obediently.
After walking for a long distance, I could suddenly hear some loud noises in the distance, the sound of clappers bursting out, suona mourning, and countless pieces of white paper rushed towards me. Xia Zhitao took the next piece and found that it was actually made of white paper. little flower.
The narrow path became wider and wider, and finally stopped at a bright and lively market.
The bazaar was built on a grand grand bridge. The bridge was brightly lit and people were coming and going, but there was a dead silence under the bridge. The crimson river was rushing by, and it seemed that sporadic wailing could be faintly heard.
On the huge bridge pier made of white bones, sat a tall and burly man with a huge figure. The big man wore a crown of blue-faced fangs and squinted at the two of them: "Live?"
"A living person dares to break into the ghost market, he is looking for death!" The big man's voice was like thunder, shaking the ground rumbling, "I guard the entrance of this ghost market, I advise you to turn back quickly, or—"
The big man patted the pier under his body, stood up abruptly, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "I have been hungry for so many years, but I want to taste the taste of this living person!"
Zhang Kuang sneered: "Oh, really?"
The author has something to say: Mrs. Gu Ji: Take a look, take a look, Madam, besides the Spirit Devouring Pill, there are also mouths, mouths, mouths, and mouths, all kinds, Everything you need.
Xia Zhitao: Ma'am, why were all the names you mentioned were blocked by a certain Jin and Jiang?
Mrs. Gu Ji: Don't worry about it.
