Legend of Xianghuang

"I am a Taoist priest." Facing eighteen strange inquiries, Xianghuang replied.

These eighteen seem to be harmless, but ghosts are ghosts.

Shiba nodded, as if he didn't care about Xianghuang's reservation at all, but was full of curiosity: "Oh, Taoist...do you want to arrest me?"

Xianghuang shook her head, Shiba spoke very directly: "I haven't decided yet." She simply told the truth.

Shiba was stunned for a moment, giggled twice, and took two steps back: "Come to play hide-and-seek?"

"Hide and seek?" Xiang Huang was puzzled, but she also faintly felt that she had come into contact with Pingfeng's secret.

Shiba nodded happily: "Yes, we are playing hide-and-seek. I am a ghost. If you catch eighteen people, it will be over!"

There were 18 people, and Xianghuang immediately thought of the people who came from the Miao Village before. Except for Yin Ni who offered to come in, there happened to be 18 people.

Before, the goddess Amu also said that every 20 years, there are 18 people.

Xianghuang shook her head: "But I don't like playing hide-and-seek." She looked at Shiba, wondering what she would do.

I saw the happy mood on Shiba's face gradually disappearing, a little frustrated but not reluctant: "Okay, then I'll go find someone else." After speaking, she gradually disappeared into the mist.

After looking at the mist for a while, Xiang Huang looked away.

If it's hide-and-seek, even if it's discovered, as long as it doesn't get caught, it's fine, right?

So now there are 19 people in Pingfeng, what will happen to the extra one?

There was a sudden sound behind him, and Xianghuang immediately turned around to check vigilantly. It was a bird jumping on a branch with a fruit in its mouth.

Seeing that there was no other aura, Xiang Huang relaxed a little, looked around, made a place on the spot and sat down against a tree, took out food and water from the pendant, and ate some.

She plans to check around here for a while, not to leave, not to trespass.

Eighteen left the edge and rejoined the game of hide and seek.

She herself didn't know why she proposed to let the Taoist priest participate in the game. After all, regardless of the Taoist priest's ability, participation was an unknowable variable.

Could it be that I have been alone in Pingfeng for a long time, so I am very happy to see many people?Eighteen shook his head in thought.

She couldn't remember how long she had been here.

Since the day when she accidentally broke into this place and was caught by the ghost sister, she has been going around here day after day, year after year, but she has never met anyone except some ignorant animals with different languages.

There was a bloody smell in the air, Shiba sniffed it, and excitement flashed in his eyes.

Who can we catch this time?

She quickly rushed to the place where the smell of blood came out.

After a while, Shiba stopped in front of a bush.

The center of the bush is a gap cut out by a sharp knife, and the soil in the center is obviously reddish brown, soaked in blood donation.

The blood has not yet dried, and those who have been here must not have gone far.

Shiba raised his head again and looked around.Remember, there is a water pool near here, right?Whether it is an injured or hunted animal, it always needs water to clean it.

Thinking of catching another person, Shiba happily licked his lips.

This time, don't be another guy who will burst into tears after being frightened.

As Shiba jumped towards the pool, he recalled the interesting person when he first met them.

Yin Ni?She is very courageous. I don't know how she will behave when she meets her.

The pool is located under a cliff, from which the water falls straight down, and over the years has carved out a bottomless pool.

The water in the pool is very cold, and occasionally you can see one or two blisters, but it is so deep that no fish can be seen.

Yin Ni brought Ayousha here, looked around the terrain around the pool, and found three stacked boulders for her to stand in the middle: "You can rest here for a while, you can't see it from the outside, if there is anything Don't make any noise."

"Yinni, you..." Ayousha was a little worried.

Yin Ni smiled and said, "I just went to clean up and I'll be back soon."

After finishing speaking, Yin Ni turned around and strode away from here, carrying the wrapped rabbit to the water pool.

Ayousha still wanted to grab her, but Yinni moved too fast, if she wanted to catch her again, she would have to run out of here.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Yin Ni has already hurriedly left to the edge of the pool. Ayousha glanced at her, but under the influence of fear, she shrank back into the hiding space, closed her eyes and buried her face between her bent legs, trying her best not to let go. Let the cry come out.

She's scared, she wants to go home.

The water in the pool was very cold, and there was no shelter beside the pool. Yin Ni washed the arrowhead and the dagger as quickly as possible, and then unwrapped the cloth that wrapped the rabbit and threw it aside.

Probably because of luck, there was no danger until Yinni cleaned up the rabbit and refilled the water.

Hurriedly returning to the hiding place, Yin Ni saw Ayousha lowering her head, and couldn't help but stop in her footsteps.

Seeing her shrugging shoulders, Ayousha was crying.

Yin Ni stared at her blankly, hesitated to speak.In the face of such words, no matter what kind of comfort and guarantee, it seems pale and powerless.

After all, even she herself was not sure that she would survive.

At this moment, Yin Ni's eyes looking at Ayousha were full of distress and helpless self-blame.

"Hehehe, I found it." The crisp voice came through the fog, and Yin Ni's body was as cold as if he had entered an ice cave.

For the sake of the wood spirit, she actually forgot about her current situation!

Turning around and looking, I saw Shiba standing at the other end of the pool and looking at this side. Although the distance was not very close, Yin Ni could clearly feel Shiba's eyes staring at him.

run?Or die?

She shouldn't be looking at Ayousha now, right?

"You had a strange look in your eyes just now." Shiba didn't seem to be in a hurry to arrest someone, but still stood there motionless talking about unexpected topics.

eyes?Yin Ni was shocked, could she see her eyes clearly?what did she see

"Hey, what were you thinking just now?" Seeing that Yin Ni didn't answer, Shibayou asked, full of pure curiosity.

"I'm thinking about how to avoid being caught by you." Yin Ni replied loudly, trying to divert the question away.

Shiba shook his head: "No, no, definitely not thinking about this."

Not satisfied?Yin Ni frowned, what should I say?

However, Shiba seemed to lose interest again, and clapped his hands with a smile: "Anyway, the eighth and ninth, I found it~"

As she said that, she jumped suddenly and jumped over the entire pool, with inhuman jumping power.

Eighteen counted two people, she must have known that Ayousha was here, seeing that she could get here by jumping two more steps like this, Yin Ni grabbed Ayousha who already knew Shiba was coming, turned around and ran away.

"Run, run~" Seeing the two running away, Shiba seemed very happy, and said with a smile like a playful child, with a light jump, the distance was obviously shortened again.

"Hurry up, it won't be fun to catch it so fast~" Seeing the two running with all their might, Shiba wished that they could run faster and run longer.

That Yin Ni is so interesting, and the eyes that he refused to say the reason before, Shiba likes that kind of eyes.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Ayousha, who was running with Yin Ni, was panting again, and she might be caught at any time.

"I, I can't run away... you... run away!" Ayousha worked hard to say this, she knew that she was Yin Ni's burden, if she hadn't had herself, Yin Ni would never have been Discover.

However, Yin Ni didn't answer, but instead held Ayousha's hand visibly tightened.

It was impossible for her to leave Ayousha, but Ayousha really couldn't run away anymore.

"Stop!" Yin Ni suddenly yelled, and at the same time stopped herself.

Ayousha was originally able to run with Yin Ni, but now that Yin Ni stopped, her legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

The pain in her chest made Ayousha forget the danger of death she was facing at the moment, but it didn't mean Yinni didn't think about it.

She just turned around and looked at Shiba, and couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw Shiba really stop.

"What's the matter?" Shiba asked suspiciously, she was in a good mood, so she really had to stop as Yin Ni said, even though it would make her whole body ache.

"Can you let Ayousha go?" Yin Ni asked, "You only need to catch 18 people and let me replace her."

Shiba was obviously surprised: "Replace? Die for her? Is that why you came in?"

Now Yin Ni can no longer hide the situation: "Yes." She looked directly at Shiba, and did not look at Ayousha.

Shiba rubbed her forehead in distress: "But no, as long as I find someone, I will try my best to catch him." This is the rule that imprisoned her, and it is the rule of this Pingfeng.

Yin Ni is a little desperate, is there really no other way?

"Then, I'll continue to arrest." Shibajian Yinni stopped talking and stepped forward again.

If she keeps resisting the confinement here, she will feel pain and heat all over her body until she loses her sanity.

At that time, even if eighteen people were caught, she would no longer be able to have a complete soul to reincarnate.

"Ayousha, I'll run first and lure her away." Yin Ni lowered his body suddenly and said with his eyes fixed on Shiba's movements.

She didn't lower her voice, she believed that no matter how loud the volume was, Shiba could hear clearly.

"Eh?" After recovering a bit, Ayousha hadn't fully recovered from Yin Ni's words before, and was surprised again.

"Shiba, I'll run, you catch me, you should like this kind of game." Yin Ni ignored Ayousha and said to Shiba.

"Well——" Shiba paused, tilting his head, "It seems... interesting?" I should like to play games, but why don't I find it so interesting?

"Ayousha, protect yourself." Yin Ni finally turned around, took a deep look at Ayousha, and immediately rushed to the side like an arrow after saying this.

Shiba glanced at Ayousha, and reluctantly turned around.

Originally, for her, as long as it was to arrest people, it was her freedom to arrest first.
