Chapter 64: Who is next?
It turns out that Abaiyajin told Xiaoxia in a hallucination: She got an omen during divination back then, and knew that Guan Zheng would definitely cause trouble to the world in the future, but he had powerful divine powers, and he would also become a great evil master the day after tomorrow. With his strange witchcraft, I'm afraid no one will be able to truly eliminate him by then.
People who are born with superpowers will become even more powerful after death. They cannot be killed by ordinary people. Even if their physical bodies are killed, their souls will continue to cause harm.
The omen says that Guan Zheng will meet a person who also has powerful powers. If this person cannot completely eliminate him, then there will be even greater disasters in the future, and no one can restrain him!
So, although she was extremely sad, she could not give Guan Zheng another chance to reform and be reborn. Forgiving him would mean hurting more kind and innocent people!
She is like a real mother, treating her child who has caused a huge disaster. She wishes she could give her own life in exchange for the child's repentance. However, although she is kind, strong, and compassionate, she is not allowed to choose in the world. of!
So, she kept the little bug. She said that was the only way to completely solve the problem!
That kind of insect is a strange insect that has never been discovered in nature. It is only passed down from generation to generation in their elegant and forbidden sect. The master informs the chosen successor before his death, so she has Know.
This little insect has no name, reproduces parthenogenously, matures very quickly, and has a correspondingly short lifespan. They are rare in number and live only an hour after birth, making them extremely difficult to find. Before it dies, it will automatically feed on blood and lay eggs in the dark trees. In July of the next year, it will emerge from the soil at some unknown time.
This kind of bug has only been heard of in legends, and no one has actually encountered it, let alone refined it into a Gu. Because there are so many insects in tropical jungles, it is almost impossible to find an insect that looks like a large mosquito and is rare and elusive. Even if it is found, how to feed it is still a problem. It must be placed in a dry, warm but dark container immediately after birth, and raised with a strange Zhuang herb mixed with its own blood, but even so, it cannot Guaranteed success.
But once it succeeds, the bug will have the characteristics that the poison keeper dreams of - it will be mainly loyal to the person who feeds it with blood, and will only be loyal to this person throughout its life, only obey his orders, and will not bite the owner back. . Moreover, it is very malleable and can be refined into various kinds of Gu, all depending on the personal ability of the person who refines the Gu.
At that time, Abaiyajin foresaw that her life would not last long, but she had not yet determined who was her successor. So in order to prevent the secret from being lost, she informed Sima Nan about it and asked him to promise to stay with her during her lifetime. Observe among the two successors to see whose character is more worthy of being entrusted with this secret.
She knew that Sima Nan would not go looking for Xiao Chong even if he knew about it, because that would require their secret Gu refining skills, and she herself was more inclined to convey this secret to A Wu.
Although Awu is not very capable, it has nothing to do with the inheritance of the sect, but Aya makes her uneasy. The child's expression shows that he is not to be offended, and there is a devouring look in his eyes. dark.
She even felt that accepting him as her disciple was a mistake. But if accepting a disciple was the first mistake, then telling Sima Nan about it was the second mistake, because she spoke with ambivalence and did not notice that Guan Zheng overheard these words. This made him feel neglected and became intensely interested in the nameless bug.
Is it Guan Zheng's persistence and ruthlessness in getting what he wants, or is it the natural disaster that should have happened? Abaya could not understand even until she died. She only knew that Guan Zheng had found the little bugs that no one had been able to find for thousands of years, and even fed one of them.
Then Abaya made the third mistake - she should not have let Guan Zheng find out the location of the secret compartment under the altar, where many ancient books on Gu magic were stored, and many of them were forbidden techniques. . When she finally decided to destroy some of the classics, Guan Zheng had already memorized many of them, so he later developed more evil and strange Gu techniques!
As for that little bug, Guan Zheng originally wanted to take advantage of its greedy and bloodthirsty habits and refine it into the kind of Gu bug that can devour human souls in forbidden arts. But before he could refine it, Abaya Jin learned what would happen decades in the future through the omen of praying to heaven regardless of his own life.
So she put the little insect away, used magic to change her blood, completed the final refining of the poison herself, set up a forbidden language, and then stored the soul-eating insect in a sealed bamboo tube. As a weapon against Guan Zheng in the future!
In other words, she designed a command as Guan Zheng to make the soul-eating insects think it came from the master. When Guan Zheng opened the bamboo tube, the soul-eating insects would enter Guan Zheng's body according to this wrong command. Eat his soul and then turn into ashes himself.
No one could subdue Guan Zheng at first, but in the end it was something he refined that killed him! This is what God does when he commits evil, and he can do it; when man commits evil, he must not live!
"This story is really complicated." Wan Li said after listening to Xiaoxia's explanation, "But I just saw you lying down for a while."
Xiao Xia shook her head, and felt the sadness and helplessness of Abaya again, "I don't know, I just felt that she smiled at me, and then everything in her heart was conveyed to me! ”
"Listen to what you said, I really want to see this beauty, but it's a pity that she never meets me in my hallucinations." Wan Li looked like he was daydreaming, "Azhan, can you use some magical power to let me Let’s have a ghostly meeting with Abaya!”
Ruan Zhan frowned, "Abaiya Jin predicted that someone would live in this octagonal building many years later, and there would be a wedding, so she used her long hair to carry the illusion and pass it on to Xiaoxia, but there was no ghost of her Appeared. I still can’t figure out where her soul is? Or maybe she even anticipated her own death and didn’t know what kind of preparations she had made in advance.”
"I have a hunch." Wan Li said, "This matter does not seem to be completely over."
"Nonsense. You can guess this, and you're talking about a premonition! Sima Nan hasn't shown up yet!" Xiao Xia rolled her eyes at Wan Li.
"You'll expose me even if you brag a little bit. A woman who's too smart won't be able to get married!" Wan Li tapped Xiao Xia's head, "Then let Master Ruan tell us about the spells and the incense burner first. Anyway, Facts have proved that if something comes to find us, we can’t hide away.”
"That's nothing. The incense burner was borrowed from Uncle Bao, so it had spiritual power, so that Guan Zheng's ice pick couldn't hit it at all. As for the charm - when Huang Boheng's body was burned together with the bag of eyes , I saw something strange about the black smoke from the burning, so I put an ordinary charm on the blood wood sword, allowing the sword to pass through the smoke and fully absorb the evil spirit in it. As you know, the witchcraft Guan Zheng practiced has been Once you have practiced it on yourself, you can say that there is no place on your body that is free of poison, so I guess the eyes in the coconut shell are also related to his own blood."
"You are really far-sighted. From then on you started to consider dealing with the real person behind the scenes!" Wan Li praised.
"There is no way, the enemy is strong and we are weak. If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, it is not just as simple as fighting hard." Ruan Zhan stood up as he said, "Let's rest first. I have been on tenterhooks since I entered the mountain. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep.”
"What about after you wake up? Should you go back immediately or stay in the mountains for a while?" Xiaoxia asked.
"As you like."
Xiaoxia chose to stay because she wanted to enjoy the natural beauty here in a safe environment and experience the simple nostalgia and folk customs here. And most importantly, she always felt that there was something telling her to stay. She couldn't tell what it was, but it felt like something was unfinished.
They still live in the octagonal building, and because the village chief knows about their affairs and knows that the matter has been successfully resolved, he acquiesces to them. The three of them were busy with their own things every day, staying out until very late before coming back, and then fell asleep with their heads in their hands, just like a real vacation, but the lingering feeling in Xiaoxia's heart had not yet arrived.
However, the night before they were to leave the mountain, Xiaoxia suddenly woke up from her sleep in the middle of the night, unusually sober. This feeling was very familiar to her, she had experienced it many times, which proved that something was calling her!
She lay motionless on the bed, staring at the dome of the bamboo building with wide eyes, hesitating whether to call Ruan Zhan or check the situation. She had always lived on the third floor of the octagonal building, while the two men who were taboo about nothing slept on the large altar on the second floor.
"Yue Xiaoxia!" A woman's voice called her softly.
Xiao Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that this voice was very familiar. It was the voice of Abaya in the hallucination.
"Yue Xiaoxia!"
Xiaoxia rolled over and twisted herself. It hurts, but it's not a dream, so why did Abaya look for her? Is it true that as she feels, she has a wish that has not been fulfilled and wants to find someone to help?
She has helped them, not to mention she is so kind, she should be helped!
Thinking like this, she began to look for the source of the sound. As if to help her find him, the call rang again, coming from the window.
Xiaoxia walked over slowly with bare feet, nervously leaned out of the window and looked down, holding the amulet on her chest with her right hand for self-protection.
It’s not that she doesn’t believe in Abaya Jin, she firmly believes that she will never hurt herself. Because she feels as holy as an angel, even if she becomes a ghost, she will not harm anyone!
She was afraid that someone else with bad intentions would pretend to be Abaiyajin and seduce her!
The night was as cool as water, with the bright moon hanging high, and the forest undulating gently under the breeze. There was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and nothing was calling her downstairs. After taking a closer look, there was no tingling on the scalp, standing hairs on end, or the uneasiness of being stared at. Could it be that because she was leaving tomorrow, she had another strange dream under strong psychological suggestion? !
"Here."
The soft voice suddenly appeared behind Xiao Xia again, startling Xiao Xia who was staring downstairs attentively, and almost fell from the half-height window.
Looking back suddenly, I saw that the room was empty, and there was nothing on my bed. So where did the sound come from?
The moonlight was bright and the interior furnishings were extremely simple, allowing her to clearly see all the scenery in the room, so she inspected the entire room from left to right again - on the far left was the water basin, where Huang Boheng was forced to marry. The scene happened there, but now it is quiet and there is no movement; then there is the bamboo door, which looks dark, but there is nothing there; then there is the wardrobe, which is easy to hide something. She was once possessed by human skin clothes in Gu Yufang's cabinet. At this moment, the door of the cabinet was wide open. It was filled with beautiful ethnic costumes she had collected, but nothing else; in the middle was her The empty bed; and finally to her right, there was a dressing table with some simple toiletries and an antique bronze mirror——
The moment her eyes glanced at the bronze mirror, a glimmer of brilliance flashed across the mirror!
The sound comes from the mirror!
Xiao Xia swallowed and slowly tilted her body to the side so that she could see into the mirror from an angle when she was originally standing parallel to the mirror. As the angle became wider and wider, she finally saw it!
A woman's face appeared there, not her own, but a strange yet familiar face, looking at her with a smile - it was Abaya!
Although Xiaoxia was mentally prepared and had become much bolder these days, she still gasped in shock and almost screamed. Anyone who sees the face of a person who has been dead for many years appears in the mirror in the middle of the night will be frightened, even if the person in the mirror is a very gentle and kind person.
"I'm sorry, I scared you." Abaya smiled apologetically.
Xiao Xia was stunned for a while, and then her stiff body gradually recovered. She took a few steps forward with some difficulty, then turned to face the mirror.
"You're waiting for me." Abaya said.
"It's you who asked me to wait for you." Although Xiaoxia's throat was dry, she finally spoke. After she calmed down, she was no longer scared, but instead felt a little strange. Regarding Abai's fate, her emotional entanglement with Sima Nan, and because she always appears in hallucinations, this time they intersect in reality.
"I am begging you to wait for me again." Abaya still smiled gently, "You are really a person with a strong natural sense. Don't always feel that you are useless. You can sense things that others cannot. , it’s amazing.”
Xiaoxia didn't say anything, but she wanted to hug the mirror. She always felt that she was a troublemaker, but she never thought that she was also great, not to mention that this was said by the most powerful Ya Jin.
"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Why did you come to me?" Xiaoxia asked.
"I have an unfulfilled wish." Abaya sighed quietly, "For this wish, I have been waiting and refused to go where I should go, just to give him something. ”
"Sima Nan?"
Abaya nodded.
Xiaoxia wanted to tell her how bad and evil Sima Nan was, how unworthy of her love. He even had a mistress named Hong Haohao, but as soon as he saw her gentle and pure face, those words stuck. No words came out of my throat.
"How can I help you? Or should I call Ruan Zhan up and let's discuss it?"
"No! Don't look for him!" Abaya was a little panicked, but after seeing Xiaoxia's puzzled expression, she quickly explained, "You probably don't know how powerful the powers hidden in him are. Maybe even he himself doesn't know how powerful he is. I'm not particularly sure. After all, I am - so I can't get close to him. We are talking now in your semi-hallucination state, so we didn't alarm him!"
“But——”
"I'm not asking you to hide it from him, you can tell him later. Moreover, I still need his help - I was trapped under something and my soul couldn't come out, so I had to rely on my remaining thoughts to find you. , so I worked hard for a long time to accumulate enough energy before you left."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Please ask Ruan Zhan for me to untie the thing that is holding me down, and then let me attach myself to this mirror and take me to find him!"
