Chapter 8 God of Gamblers Chapter 37 The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
A cool breeze blew, causing Xiao Xia's goose bumps to get. She understood that there was another evil, but now she had no choice. She gritted her teeth and walked towards the direction of the vine.
Ruan Zhan said it well: It’s not surprising that he is accustomed to his own mistakes! For the sake of the loved one, she is not afraid of anything!
Under the stars and moon, on the quiet mountain road, Xiao Xia held a spell in each hand and walked forward step by step. The gravel under her feet made a creaking sound, which was not clear at all during the day, and even if she heard it clearly, it was deaf, which seemed particularly terrifying at night.
In front, the woman in black was still walking, with no shadow or footsteps, but she just stood in front of Xiaoxia. Sometimes, she would suddenly disappear, and then ran behind Xiaoxia to ask Xiaoxia for directions.
Xiao Xia knew that the female ghost in black was here to pester her, and that the black eyes on her white face looked so enchanting and irritating. But Xiao Xia forced herself to endure it and let the other party repeat the same behavior over and over again. In the spirit of not being offended by others and not being offended by others, she ignored her. But after she walked for a long time, she finally found that she had been spinning under a cliff and had to squat down and pick up a small stone.
Bao Datong once said that the small spell that Ruan Zhan taught her can break ordinary barriers with the earth technique in the Five Elements Forbidden Method, and it is also a ghost to hit the wall. Generally speaking, the soul body creates a ghost to hit the wall to do good things, and there may be something inappropriate to pass ahead. Xiao Xia heard that during the Tangshan earthquake, a driver could not get out on the road to Tangshan no matter what, so he escaped.
But since she came into contact with supernatural events, every time she encountered ghosts and hit the wall, the other party was malicious. It was not because she was unlucky, but because she met an enemy every time, so she was not very polite now.
As she walked, she put the talisman in her right hand back into her pocket, then groped, found the talisman based on her feelings, and slowly wrapped it on the stone. God blessed that this road was a gravel road, with many small stones.
"What are you doing?" The female ghost in black was walking slowly in front of her, but suddenly appeared behind Xiao Xia and asked sharply.
Although she knew that there was such a person on the mountain road, Xiao Xia was still frightened again and panicked and cast the wooden talisman in her left hand. The black-clad female ghost was too close to her, so the talisman was almost directly stuffed into the female ghost's hand, the white hand holding the green and faint phosphorus fire!
The female ghost let out a terrifying scream that Xiao Xia had never heard of before, and flew into the air like a black wind and disappeared.
"Borrowing the power of Mount Tai, General Shi, fight!" Xiaoxia shouted a spell, and at the same time knocked out the stone wrapped in the earthen talisman, and then ran up the mountain. Although she felt the wind above her head, it seemed that something was following her, she refused to look back. Sure enough, after running for a while, she saw a small bamboo building appearing in front of the road, and behind the building were the three forks, the shortest one leading to Naman Village.
The name of the man flashed through Xiao Xia's mind, which immediately made her heart warm, because it meant Abai, and Abai meant Ruan Zhan's life. But at this moment, the wind above her head suddenly became louder, and accompanied by a cold air, a black cloud swooped down!
Xiao Xia lowered her body and had no time to use the Five Elements Forbidden Method, she had to pull off the bone chain on her neck and swing it up like a weapon. The bone chain was not as protective as amulets, and it did not react very quickly to evil things. However, because the talisman power of the bone chain was stimulated by the people on the tractor just now, a red light suddenly burst out, and it really broke the black shadow.
However, although he repelled the attack from the black shadow, the road around him was quickly covered by a ball of black fog, and only the bamboo building stood there clearly.
Xiao Xia didn't know if the female ghost in black had deliberately forced her into the bamboo building, but she had no other place to go, so she made up her mind and ran outside the bamboo building. Before she could knock on the door, the door of the bamboo building opened with a bang, reached out with one hand, and pulled Xiao Xia in.
"Shh, don't make noise." A hand was covering her mouth, and a strange sound rang in her ears, "This place is not clean, don't bring them in!"
Xiao Xia stood there, frightened and didn't react for a moment. Then she saw that the light of her eyes lit up, an oil lamp lit up, shaking in front of her eyes, and finally landed on the table. She blinked her twice before she could see clearly the male owner of the wild shop sitting by the table.
He pointed behind Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxia immediately jumped away nervously, but he said, "Did you see the wooden board on the door? That was the evil-proof object given to me by the God Lord, otherwise my small shop would not be able to save it."
Xiao Xia turned her head and saw that there was a wooden board about a foot square hanging behind the bamboo door, with strange words and figures painted on it. Even in such a dark environment, you could see a little silver light flashing on the board.
"Don't worry, they have been making trouble for a while. With this magical card, they can't get in." The shop owner saw that Xiao Xia was still a little worried, so he hurriedly said.
Xiao Xia was half-believing and half-doubted. When she looked back at the boss, she saw that he knew him. When she got closer, there was also his figure under the oil lamp. When she recalled her feeling just now, it seemed that his hand was warm and he should be a human being.
But she was worried, and she tightened the bone chain in her hand, leaned closer, sat at the table, and faced the shop owner.
"What's going on here again?" she asked, always keeping a guarded distance.
The shop owner sighed.
"I heard that you donated money to the village chief of Naman to build the road. Building bridges and roads is a good deed of virtue." The shop owner said, "At that time, the village chief of Naman Village mentioned this matter, the three nearby villages were very happy. Everyone discussed it, raised some money, and each of them had to do a simple gravel road. But not long after the road was repaired, a certain amount of matter happened. That day, a few young people from Najin Village wanted to go down the mountain to do business, so he
We went down the mountain together by the newly bought tractor in the village. The day after they finished the work, it was dark, but because they were in a hurry to go back to the village, they felt that the road had been repaired and the moonlight was bright, so they rushed back overnight. Unexpectedly, his uncle, who was driving the tractor, might be too tired. By accident, the whole tractor was overturned into the mountain stream. Alas, it was so miserable that all the people in the car died. Not only did they fall, but they also smashed the broken rocks and the tractor. "
"Then it's not peaceful here?" Xiao Xia asked suspiciously. As far as she knew, most people in this mountain were simple and kind, and even if they died of a fierce death, they would not come out to harm others!
But the shop owner nodded and said, "Yes, not long after burying these poor ghosts, there was a riot here. Every night, the sound of a tractor passes by the door of the shop. Sometimes, they would knock on the door, saying, "Boss, come and drink a bowl of water." He knocked on the bamboo table while talking, and the tone and accent were weird because of his imprecise Chinese. At this moment, he was still pinching his throat to learn to speak, which scared Xiaoxia so much that she was covered in white sweat and looked at the boss with some blame.
But at this glance, Xiao Xia suddenly realized that the boss was wrong. He did have someone, but is he really a human? Why did Xiao Xia feel that his eyes were the same as the female ghost in black and the eyes hidden behind the surface of the water? It was black and flexible and changeable. Although it looked very beautiful, the eyes were mixed with excitement, hatred and gloomy, which made people feel scared.
"Miss Yue, do you want a bowl of water to drink?" the shop owner suddenly asked.
Xiao Xia sat upright, one hand hurt because she held the bone chain tightly, and the other hand holding the talisman was wet with sweat. She looked at the shop owner alertly and nodded.
"Okay, I'll ask my wife to give it to you. She has always been here to entertain guests." He said as he stood up and walked upstairs slowly, muttering something in his mouth, and his steps pressed against the stairs and let out a sharp and long moan.
Xiao Xia has been here and knows that the store owner's family is the place where the store owner's family lives, so when the store owner's figure turns into the corner, he jumps up and runs to the door. She understands that something must have happened to the store owner's family. She sympathizes and wants to help, but now she is a clay Buddha who crosses the river and cannot protect herself. Besides, Ruan Zhan is more important than everything in her heart. Even if people in the world are about to die, she must save him first!
But the door cannot be opened!
Xiao Xia reached out to get the wooden sign, but her hand passed through the wooden sign, which turned out to be an illusion. She swept the talisman in her hand, and the illusion disappeared. As the illusion disappeared, the entire bamboo building also disappeared. There was a large open space in front of her. Only then did Xiao Xia find that she was still in a dense forest at the foot of the mountain and did not go up the mountain at all.
"Where are you going? Don't you want to drink water?" said a woman behind her.
Xiao Xia turned his head in horror and saw the boss lady standing there with a bowl of water, looking at her with a vicious look on her face, "I hate customers like you the most. I have spent a few shops to mess with people. Do you drink?" I remember that the boss lady can't speak Chinese, but at this moment she speaks very well, standard Mandarin.
Xiao Xia didn't say anything, quietly observed the surroundings, ready to escape at any time.
"Don't you drink?" The boss's wife angrily, "I'll feed you!" She said and rushed over. The liquid in the bowl spilled all over the ground, and a disgusting smell came from the blood. However, although she pounced fiercely, her movements were clumsy, and she made a thumping sound under her feet. It was obviously a real human being, but she was controlled by other things.
Xiao Xia ran away after running for a few seconds, hid behind a big tree, glanced out and found that the woman had lost her target. She stood in the clearing of the forest under the moonlight with the blood bowl, her eyes rolling rapidly, but she didn't notice Xiao Xia hiding in the shadow. She stood for a long time, and only when Xiao Xia could hardly bear it, she left resentfully.
Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief and almost sat on the ground.
If there is only shadow, it may be a zombie, but although the owner and his wife are clumsy and stiff in their movements, they have heat and heavy breathing. From the appearance, they don’t look like they are dead, but they may be possessed. In this case, if the black eyes behind them are targeted at her, as long as she leaves, the owner and his wife should be able to recover. Even if they can’t, they can come to help them when Ruan Zhan is ready, and even if they can’t.
The problem is that she wants to leave as soon as possible and find Ah Bai as soon as possible. Also, the owner's family has a cute little daughter. Where is she?
"Follow me." One hand pulled Xiao Xia's ankle, almost scaring Xiao Xia to death, but for fear of attracting the owner and his wife, he swallowed the screams into his stomach.
When I looked down, I saw a pair of white and tender little hands stretching out from the green grass, grabbing the corner of my pants. In the grass was a pretty little face with a wooden expression, staring at her tightly. After that human face, I could still find the existence of the pair of black eyes.
"My father and mother are obsessed with ghosts, I'll take you away!" The little girl slowly got up and shrank to Xiao Xia like a snake. Xiao Xia couldn't run away for a while because she was sitting, so she had to watch her slowly lean over.
"Who are sister looking for? I'll take sister to find her." Those eyes were smiling.
Xiao Xia couldn't bear the feeling of numbness from her shoulders to her whole body. She pushed her away and jumped up, "Don't make trouble! You and I have no grudges, stay away from me!"
"What are my sister saying? I want to help." The little girl approached Xiao Xia again.
"Stop!" Xiao Xia shouted, and suddenly realized that if the owner of the black eyes wanted to harm her, he should be able to attach one person at a time. In fact, the owner of the store and the proprietress did appear separately. Since she just had to face the physical attack of a physical body and the control of a soul behind her, there was no need to be too afraid.
"Sister, don't point that at me, I'm afraid." The little girl seemed very scared and pointed at Xiao Xia's hand. Because Xiao Xia's hand holding the bone chain was stretched forward, the bone chain had emitted a faint light at this moment. However, Xiao Xia felt that although the other party was worried, she was not very afraid.
"Stop doing this, what are you going to do?" Xiao Xia was anxious and fearful, and she shouted: "Don't mess with me, otherwise--"
"Otherwise, what? Just your ability?" The little girl suddenly stopped pretending and spoke in a different tone. She looked like an adult woman. "And I see clearly that you came alone this time, and that powerful man didn't follow you. Why, he abandoned you? Haha, I said, how could a woman like you, who is not charming, have a man like you!"
Xiao Xia was shocked. He heard the other party’s tone that he knew Ruan Zhan’s existence and their relationship. Who is she? Could she be an old friend?
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The other party continued: "I'm just trying differently to see if the man is hiding behind. I scared you so much, but he can't come out, proving that he hasn't come at all, and even if he comes, he won't care about you!"
"So you are afraid of Azhan!" Xiao Xia sneered and quietly retreated to a relatively safe distance. "Are you sure he didn't come? He came, can you still be your escape fish? Even if he really didn't come, can I have other amazing friends? Otherwise, how could I have magic?"
"I saw it, don't show off, just a little spell. Before I could do it, you've already ejaculated." The other party sneered: "Now I want you to die, it's easier than pinching an ant to death."
"Then why don't you do it yet? Hong Haohao!" Xiao Xia took another step back and leaned on the big tree to facilitate the use of wood.
The other party laughed wildly, and his temperament was completely inconsistent with his slender and elegant body. "Smart, I actually thought it was me!" Seeing that she had been seen through, she no longer pretended to be a ghost and pulled out of this body!
