Ma Xiaoyu took out the grapefruit leaves, wiped her eyes again, and then looked at the scroll, but it was still blank.
However, Yin Xiu did see something inside, which were scriptures and spells.
So Ma Xiaoyu was certain that this was probably the wordless heavenly book that Yin Xiu could only see.
"Why me?" Yin Xiu was a little unsure.
Ma Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Others have not had such an opportunity, but you are suspicious."
"It's not that I doubt it, I just don't dare to believe it."
Yin Xiu could only smile. He already understood that even if he recited the spell on the scroll to Ma Xiaoyu, she might not be able to hear it at all.
Because the spells in this wordless heavenly book have changed from "the law cannot be transmitted to three ears" to the law cannot be transmitted to two people.
Only Yin Xiu can see and understand the scriptures above, while others can only see blank paper, even Ma Xiaoyu is no exception.
At this time, White Phoenix and White Peacock also gradually woke up.
Perhaps their internal organs were damaged by the shock, and they were speechless for a while. It was not until Yin Xiu used the "Hand of Light" to heal them that they finally recovered.
Neither of them could see the record on the scroll, but just like Ma Xiaoyu, they caught a glimpse of a blank piece of paper.
In this way, Yin Xiu was afraid that they would be involved in some karma, so she just put the scroll away.
After looking around, he walked to Granny Lin's side.
Mrs. Lin was leaning against the wall at this time.
Seeing Yin Xiu coming, she said fiercely: "Young students, our affairs are not over yet!"
"I know."
Yin Xiu squatted down.
"Although I have thought about using other methods to achieve my goal, after thinking about it, I still want to ask you directly, can you help me get rid of the poison like this?"
"Are you saying now that you can threaten me, but you don't intend to do so to show your magnanimity?" Mrs. Lin sneered.
"I didn't mean that."
Yin Xiu shook his head, "I'm just seriously asking you to consider my proposal. Of course I know you are capable. Even if I kill you or kill everyone here, I'm afraid the Gu worms in my body will also is triggered.
In other words, I have vaguely guessed that maybe in this team, as long as someone dies or I take action against him, the Gu insect will be triggered.
So I can only ask you here to help me get rid of that Gu insect. ”
"Why should I help you?"
One of Mrs. Lin's hands had already held the bell in her sleeve.
"You have to know that I am the most terrifying and disgusting old Gu woman.
When I see them on the road, those people will avoid me from a distance, but any bowl I use will be broken. If I stand in front of their house for a while, they will smoke mugwort and burn all my food. The area where you stand is burned red and black, so you can rest assured.
For a vicious person like me, who has been bad all his life, why do you want me to suddenly show kindness and help you get rid of the poison?
You are simply telling the biggest joke in the world, but I don't find it funny. I just think you are stupid. ”
She cackled like a noisy crow.
The sound also attracted her granddaughter Aya, but Aya just stood aside and did not come close.
Because she knew that Granny Lin was never willing to let her get close to her. Even when eating, one would be in the door and the other would be outside, never sitting together.
"I mean it."
Yin Xiu was not angry, nor did she care about Granny Lin's sarcasm.
"I want to ask you to help me get rid of this bug, because I have determined that it is too difficult for me to defuse a bomb that I don't know where it is hidden or what its ingredients are, so I can only Thank you very much.”
"For what?"
Mrs. Lin's eyes widened, "A strong man like you is willing to let go and talk to an enemy of mine like this?"
"Although it sounds sanctimonious, empty and hypocritical, I still have to say..."
Yin Xiu looked serious, "This is for the world."
"For the world?"
Mrs. Lin stared at him closely, "A child can't help but laugh at such a high-sounding excuse. If you can say it without blushing and heartbeat, you are indeed a strong person."
However, Mrs. Lin knew that only when a person truly thinks so and speaks so openly can he remain calm.
"Mother-in-law, just treat it like a child who is ignorant. Don't argue with me. Just let me go once. Show mercy." Yin Xiu said with a smile.
"What did you call me?"
Mrs. Lin laughed, "No one dares to call me that, not even my granddaughter."
The laughter was still so unpleasant, scratching everyone's ears just like the Gu Po in people's minds.
After the laughter stopped, her expression dimmed and she whispered: "The leader is no better than you, because he is not someone who can bow to his enemies for the sake of the world. Your capacity is much greater than his. It's a pity that you are not Miao." People.”
Boom!
When Mrs. Lin opened her hand again, the bronze bell in her palm had been crushed into pieces.
As she exerted more force, the wounds all over her body could no longer be suppressed, and blood poured out of her robe and gradually flowed to the ground.
Yin Xiu felt her throat tighten, turned her head, and spit out a mouthful of acid. In the liquid, there was a squirming beetle the size of a fingernail.
The beetle was completely black, with three white spots on its back, slightly grayish.
Is this a Gu insect?
Before Yin Xiu could take a closer look, Ma Xiaoyu had already thrown a piece of talisman paper and burned the insect into ashes.
"Don't look." She said with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay."
While the two of them were talking like this, there was a burst of suppressed sobs around them.
Mrs. Lin is dead.
In the previous battle, she was affected and was seriously injured, but she was just holding on.
However, just now, she had exhausted her last breath and closed her eyes.
At this time, the number of Miao people still alive was less than half of the original number. Even Uncle Qingmu was not sure when his heart was pierced by Yin Yue's sword, and he lay dead on the side.
Ye Tianwen looked at this scene with a gloomy expression.
Then he finally looked at Yin Xiu.
"We have shed so much blood, we cannot just treat it like nothing happened."
"Didn't you learn a lesson from this?"
Yin Xiu let go of Ma Xiaoyu and stepped forward slowly.
"Some things can't be obtained with just a lot of passion."
Yin Xiu sighed, "It's like a monkey seeing the moon in a mountain stream and reaching out to fish for it, often risking his own life."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
On the contrary, Ye Tianwen was a little confused.
He knew in his heart that although they were both in the synaesthesia state, in his performance just now, the gap between him and Yin Xiu was like heaven and earth.
Even though he still had some confidence in his fists and feet to resist, he didn't know magic, and the two consultants who were good at using voodoo were already dead.
Confronting Yin Xiu, he has lost confidence.
"Take the people away and go back to southern Xinjiang to live a good life."
Yin Xiu reminded him, "Isn't it necessary to sacrifice so many lives for the ambitions of our predecessors?"
"Why do you teach me how to do things?" Ye Tianwen said angrily.
"Why?"
Yin Xiu glanced at Bai Fenghuang and Bai Peacock, both of whom were worried. "I can kill you easily. You have to know that here today, I am not advising you to go back, but I am letting you go, that's all."
Yin Xiu did not save any face for Ye Tianwen, and her few words were sharp and unpleasant.
"However, I'm not letting you go like this. I want you to promise me something.
That is, in their lifetime, the Miao people will never raise an army or cause rebellion. Don't collude with the Chinese or the Japanese, and just live their lives with peace of mind.
You have to swear to God on this matter and put all your guarantees on it. ”
"Huh?"
Ye Tianwen felt like something was stuck in his throat. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "If this happens, wouldn't I have to stay in Miao territory for the rest of my life?"
"You're mistaken."
Yin Xiu said seriously: "When I say lifetime, I mean that I am alive, not others. As long as I am still alive, the Miao people must not act rashly."
"Heh."
Ye Tianwen smiled bitterly, "If this is the case, I will sincerely pray every day, begging you to die soon."
"You can pray like this and curse me to death."
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "To let you know that I am alive, I will also cause many big things, so that the younger generation of the Miao people will not dare to move because of my reputation."
"In this case, it only takes thirty years."
Ye Tianwen's smile became even bitterer, "In just thirty years, I will be old, and the Miao people will no longer have the ambition to raise an army."
As he said that, he stared at Yin Xiu again, "Although I am pitiful and only have to live for the rest of my life, you are even more pitiful than me.
Because you are neither willing to raise an army to seize the world, nor will you become the court's lackey. You just watch from the side and be the loneliest person in the world.
Others may not necessarily mention you, but as soon as they mention you, they will say that you are the stupidest and most hypocritical person in the world. Is this what you want? ”
When Ma Xiaoyu heard this, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She walked forward, stood behind Yin Xiu, and gently held his hand.
She originally thought that Yin Xiu's hand should have become cold, but in fact his palm was warm and soft, and was not affected by Ye Tianwen's words at all.
Yin Xiu gently squeezed Ma Xiaoyu's hand in response, saying that she was fine.
He didn't want to say too much to Ye Tianwen, but just stretched out his other hand and said, "Clap three times as an oath."
"You only said that we can't raise troops in our lifetime, but you didn't say that we can't kill you, right? Yin Xiu, I will devote myself to practice and defeat you one day."
"Okay, I'll wait for you anytime." Yin Xiu said calmly.
Ye Tianwen had no choice but to reach out and give him a high-five.
The space ripples...
Ren Qi and A Ke have spent another night in the mountains.
It seemed that the flow of time in this hole was different from that elsewhere. They came out of the house only after the wind and snow stopped.
Akko had completely adapted to Ren Qi's tyranny at this time, and his face was as rosy as a flower blooming after the rain.
Under the sun, the ice and snow melted, and the clouds and mists in the distance dispersed, revealing the clear blue sky.
"Are we going back?"
When Akko asked this question, he actually felt that it didn't matter whether he could go back or not.
Ren Qize's expression remained as usual, cold and determined.
"I still have unfinished business, so I have to go back."
"Oh."
Akko nodded obediently and just said: "I'm fine no matter what, it doesn't matter."
Ren Qi glanced at her, thinking only about how to arrange her after returning.
At this moment, ripples appeared around them.
"[The pores] seem to be opening."
Sensing this keenly, Ren Qi protected Akko by his side and looked at one of them with vigilance.
Then they discovered that in the world that was originally as neat and flat as a mirror, something suddenly fell off and cracked, revealing an image belonging to another place.
Ma Xiaoyu stood next to Yin Xiu, who was high-fiving Ye Tianwen.
"We can go back!"
Although it didn't matter where she was, she was still happy to be able to return to Jiaozhi and be with those people.
"Yes, just go through the pores."
Ren Qi said this, but suddenly said: "You go back first."
"What?"
Akko was stunned for a moment, "Didn't we agree to get together?"
"Originally we agreed to get together, but I have to change my mind, I'm sorry." Ren Qi whispered.
"Am I dissatisfied with you?"
Akko lowered his head, only feeling that it was the red birthmark on his face that made Ren Qi disgusted.
"I don't need a lot of things, just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ren Qi had reached out his hand to her face, gently caressed A'ke's face, and gently touched the small butterfly-like birthmark with his thumb.
The flaws in beautiful jade only make it special, but do not cause it to lose its color and luster.
"You think I won't be responsible and just have fun?"
Ren Qi laughed before starting to speak seriously.
"You told me before that you were seventeen, right? I am thirty-seven this year, and time is different for you and me.
Over the past few years, many things have changed, so I have to hurry up. ”
He looked at A'ke's face and felt a delicate and soft feeling on his fingertips. He finally made up his mind and said, "If you can wait, just wait for me for a few years. If I'm pregnant for three years, or if you don't want to wait, just pretend I haven't." That’s who I am.”
"I'm just waiting for you."
Akko's eyes were red, but she didn't shed tears.
Because she remembered that it is unlucky for a man to shed tears before he goes out.
"What else do you want me to do?" Akko asked.
"After you go out, just follow them back to the Miao Village. After the matter is settled, I will go to the Miao Village to find you."
Akko nodded, "What if Brother Yin and the others ask?"
Ren Qi snorted, "Just tell them, I'm going to solve a small problem, don't worry about me yet, they will know."
"Yeah."
Akko nodded heavily again, took one last look at Ren Qi, then turned around decisively and stepped into the hole.
The ripples in the space swayed for a moment and then disappeared.
Ren Qi watched Akko leave, and then looked at the sky.
I saw a mountain peak suddenly appearing in the hole. There were palaces and buildings with cornices on it, stacked on top of each other, like a fairy mountain that was left behind in the world and independent.
Under the sun, Ren Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the Lingshan Mountain, his hand unconsciously placed on his sword.
That's why he stays here.
Looking at the mountain, a taboo, almost forgotten name was ready to come out in his mind.
Xiandu. (End of chapter)
