My Adam's apple rolled and I wanted to speak, but I couldn't say a word.
The old man saw my embarrassment: "If you can't get up, just lie down first, cough cough..."
He walked very slowly, coughing with every step, like a candle in the wind that might be extinguished at any time.
When he came closer, the old man stopped and tapped his crutch on the ground.
This seemingly random point seems to carry tremendous power.
The ground is cracked and smoke is scattered!
"You evil beast, you dare to change your form and deceive my two brothers, what kind of crime do you deserve!"
The old man scolded angrily. For a moment, his illness disappeared, and his voice was like a loud bell, deafening and deafening.
Huang Pizi was so frightened that he hugged his head, knelt down and begged.
"I'm wrong. I shouldn't have deceived you, Master Dao. I deserve to die, but I beg Master Dao to spare me this time."
"From now on, I will definitely serve you like a cow and a horse, the Taoist Master!"
"I don't need a beast to serve me." The old man refused.
Immediately, he turned his wrist, and a dagger appeared in his palm.
The old man threw the dagger to Huang Pizi and said, "You can handle it yourself, I don't want to dirty my hands!"
Huang Pizi did not pick up the dagger, but prayed again: "Master Tao, I have been practicing for a hundred years, and I am really unwilling to die like this."
"Who do you blame? If you stay in the mountains to practice well and don't have evil intentions, why should I get rid of you?"
"All this is just your own fault! Ahem..."
"Hurry up! My patience is about to run out!"
Huang Pizi picked up the dagger with regret, raised his eyes again, and looked at me.
At that moment, I actually saw a hint of cunning in its dark eyes!
The next moment, Huang Pizi suddenly jumped up and stabbed me with a dagger.
I was injured, and I didn't have the strength to get up, let alone dodge.
The moment I watched the dagger was about to hit me!
Beside him, the old man suddenly threw up the crutch in his hand.
As he was falling, he raised his palm and hit the leading part of the cane hard.
boom!
The crutch shot out like an arrow from the string, hitting Huang Pizi right between the eyebrows.
The bottom of the crutch is wrapped in a circle of iron sheets, which is extremely sharp!
When it hit Huang Pizi between his eyebrows, the iron piece immediately shaved off half of Huang Pizi's face.
Then a shrill scream was heard, and the yellow man fell to the ground, half of his face drooped, dripping with blood, and looked like an evil ghost!
"You...you lied to me!" It opened its mouth weakly and spit out a large pool of blood.
"Why? Why did you lie to me!" Huang Pizi yelled angrily.
The old man said no more, raised his hand, and a paper talisman flew out and burned in the wind.
The flames engulfed the yellow skin, and after a while, all that was left was the fur that exuded the smell of burning.
The old man returned his gaze to me, and he stretched out his hand towards me.
"Get up, kid."
Strange to say, even after Huang Pizi died, I still felt burning pain all over my body.
But this kind of pain is much better than the numb to death feeling just now.
I held the old man's hand and stood up with his help.
The old man's hands are very strong and strong.
This is far from the waning appearance he showed.
The old man stepped forward and picked up the crutch, glanced at it, and shouted: "Get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountain spirits and beasts surrounding the cemetery immediately dispersed.
After all the animals left, the area around the cemetery fell into dead silence again.
The old man still coughed from time to time.
"Go and bring that girl out." He ordered.
"Yeah." I nodded in agreement, turned around, and returned to the grotto.
Zhixi was still lying quietly on the bed, covered with a quilt but naked underneath.
I admit that there was an evil thought that flashed through my mind for a moment, but it was fleeting.
I picked up the clothes that fell on the ground and was about to step forward.
Suddenly, I thought of something and backed out again.
When I walked out of the grotto, I happened to see the old man squatting in front of Huangpizi's burnt body and whispering something.
I didn't dare to interrupt, so I went to one of the coffins, opened the coffin lid, and took out my bag.
When I turned around, the old man had appeared behind me at some point.
His eyes were gray and lifeless, staring straight at me, which was very scary.
I was startled, and then I heard the old man ask: "Where is the girl?"
"She was soul-locked. I came out to get something to help her unlock it." I explained.
"Hurry up, cough..."
When I returned to the room, I opened my bag and was stunned!
That damn beast destroyed everything in my bag.
From iron instruments to paper talismans, nothing is left!
This is all the hard work of Uncle Li and I over the years. I was so angry that my eyes turned green. I punched the ground and accidentally touched the wound. The pain made me grin.
However, what happened has already happened, so what can I do if I get angry anymore? Huang Pizi is also dead.
I calmed down and sorted out the knocked over cinnabar.
Then, he took out the broken brush with only half of it left.
With these two things, there is no problem in breaking the soul-locking curse.
Although there is no yellow paper for drawing talismans, fortunately, yellow paper is just a medium. It is also possible to draw talismans directly on people.
I dipped the brush in cinnabar, came to the bedside, and said to Zhixi on the bed: "I just want to help you break the soul-unlocking curse. I don't mean to take advantage of you. I hope you can understand."
As I said that, I lifted the quilt, lifted her up, and turned her back to me.
I grabbed the brush and looked at the cream-like snow-white jade skin in front of me. I was in a trance for a moment.
Uncle Li said that you should not be distracted when drawing talisman. I was so distracted that the first stroke I made became crooked.
I apologized hurriedly and erased the wrong place. Then, I adjusted my mind and conscientiously drew the talisman to break the soul-unlocking spell.
After I finished drawing the talisman, I breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed my eyes, chanted the talisman, and activated it.
When I opened my eyes, Zhixi in front of me had already turned around.
She wrapped her body tightly in the quilt and stared at me with tears in her beautiful eyes.
"You pervert, you stinky scoundrel!" She yelled along with it.
A loud slap fell on my face.
Snapped!
I was so stunned by this slap that I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
"What are you doing!" I asked angrily after waking up.
"I spent a long time saving you, and this is how you repay me?"
Zhixi's pretty face turned red. She stared at the injuries on my body and said with obvious guilt.
"You also said that it was you who touched my back in the name of saving me."
"I drew it wrong. I erased it, not touched it randomly!" I was about to cry but had no tears.
"Besides, if I really had any thoughts about you, why would I wait until now? Haven't I already done everything?"
Zhixi's face turned redder, she lowered her head, her cheeks were bulging, and she couldn't say a word.
At this time, the old man shouted from outside the grotto: "Are you ready?"
I responded and said to Zhixi: "Let's go, they are waiting for us."
It is said that the highest level of lies is seven percent truth and three percent falsehood.
