Chapter 58: Opening the Yin-Yang Eyes
Seeing the baby spirit being scared away by the luck chain talisman, Lin Yuxi bravely slid down from my back, walked to the front, bent over and asked Xu Xiaofei: "Do we know each other? Why do you want to hurt me?"
Under the dim light, Xu Xiaofei's face was pale and bloodless. When she heard the question, her scattered eyes brightened up a little. She thought it was a last gasp and she was about to die. After she saw Lin Yuxi clearly, she suddenly laughed. The violent movement caused the blood in the wound to spurt out like an arrow, spraying Lin Yuxi's face.
"Mad man! You're almost dead, why are you still laughing?" Lin Yuxi gritted his teeth in anger and reached out to wipe the blood off his face, but the blood spread more evenly instead.
"Cough cough..." Xu Xiaofei laughed for a while and then started coughing violently. He said intermittently: "Because... you deserve to die. I... I am dying soon, but you... you won't live for a few days..." When he said this, his head tilted and he died.
Lin Yuxi sighed depressedly and said: "She is dead, what a lunatic!"
I was furious. Xiao Jing and Xu Xiaofei, one ghost, died right before my eyes, but I didn't save any of them. I felt so helpless. I thought to myself, what a bastard! He was injured by me repeatedly, and he couldn't go back to Mu Zun to recuperate. He should have been able to rest for at least three to five days to recover. Why did he come out tonight? Thinking about it this way, I felt more and more that something was wrong. Could it be that someone was behind this?
I suddenly remembered that the infant spirit didn't dare to attack me after killing Xu Xiaofei, which proved that it hadn't recovered its vitality. According to its usual ferocity, it would never allow me to finish the spell. I looked up at the several talisman fires deep in the alley. They had fallen to the ground and gradually extinguished. It seemed that it had already run away. Then another question arose in my mind. In its current state, it was impossible for it to escape the pursuit of the luck chain talisman. Someone must have helped it!
Besides, it has no grudge against Xu Xiaofei. After dispersing Xiao Jing's ghost, it should focus on dealing with me. Why did it create trouble? This is obviously an attempt to silence me!
After thinking about these points, I picked up the peach wood sword and flashlight, grabbed Lin Yuxi and ran forward. This girl asked me what was wrong with me. Why did I deliver myself to the door when I couldn't even avoid the baby spirit? I didn't have the energy to explain to her at the moment, so I ran forward with my head down. Lin Yuxi had practiced kung fu, and she ran no slower than me. She followed my footsteps and ran out of the alley in one breath.
It is almost eleven o'clock now. Yonghe Street is already remote. At this moment, apart from the dim street lights throughout the street, the whole street is empty and there is not a single person in sight.
I panted and lowered my head to think about it. Suddenly, I came up with an idea. I took out the willow branch I brought from the chicken farm from my bag. Although it looks like an ordinary willow branch, it has many uses. The most important one is that it can open the Yin-Yang eyes after being soaked in the Qingming dew. This willow branch was sealed in a damp plastic bag at the time, and it was obviously just soaked in dew. I immediately wiped it on my left and right eyelids and chanted a silent mantra in my heart: "The spirit is silent, the energy is continuous. In front of the forehead, golden light appears. Open the eyes!"
Suddenly, the air in front of my eyes surged, and I felt that what I saw with my left and right eyes was different. The left is yang, and the right is yin. This is the reason why men see things on the left and women see things on the right. The left eye saw a bright light, while the right eye saw a dark and hazy air. Two men and women holding hands appeared on the curb. Their faces were pale, their eyes were green, and they walked lightly. They were obviously ghosts. I quickly turned my head to the side. Ghosts hate to be seen by strangers. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to avoid it.
Lin Yuxi asked me curiously: "Why are you rubbing your eyes with willow branches? What's wrong with you?"
I sighed softly, and took Lin Yuxi to turn left and walk north. After the two ghosts walked away, I jumped onto the curb and looked down carefully. Soon, I found spots of black marks on the ground and street lights. I followed this clue and walked out of the small street, then turned left and walked west along a street.
"Were you using your Yin-Yang eyes just now?" Lin Yuxi was not completely ignorant of this. After thinking for a long time, she finally figured out what I was doing with the willow branch just now.
I looked at her approvingly and nodded. She asked again what was the use of opening the Yin-Yang eyes since the baby spirit had just been scared away? I chuckled and said that the baby spirit had too much resentment and would leave traces wherever it passed. Those spots of black air were the resentment left by the little cub after he passed away, but they would disappear when the sun shone on them at dawn.
The two of us walked all the way, and after many twists and turns, we finally reached the old city and came to the alley outside Xiaopang's house. The traces of resentment left by the baby spirit led directly into the alley.
I then understood that this was the birthplace of infant spirits and also the place of their death. For the little cub, this was the only place where it could both breed resentment and control it. It had killed many people, especially tonight when it had personally dispersed the soul of its biological mother. The evil spirit condensed in its body was invincible. If it was not suppressed and resolved while it was injured, it would become a demon like Hanba.
This moment is the most dangerous, I can't let Lin Yuxi follow me, so I asked her to wait outside the alley, and I went in to find out. But this girl insisted on following me in, with a very good reason, what if the little ghost took the opportunity to run out and kill her after I went in ? I said it was impossible, the baby spirit was controlled by someone, and it would not run out, it would be really dangerous to go in.
"I'm talking about what could happen. Do you dare to promise?" This girl made me speechless. I really didn't dare to promise. In this situation, anything could happen. "If you don't dare to promise, you have to keep me close to you. Otherwise, I will blame you if I lose a hair. And have I ever caused you any trouble every time I followed you?"
I almost fainted. It's true that there aren't many troubles. But when you get nervous, you get involved with me, and that's the biggest trouble. But on second thought, I'm not completely relieved if I don't let her follow me closely. This girl is not without any advantages. At least she is very skilled. She will not only deal with the infant spirit, but also a mysterious person whose strength is hard to predict. And since this person dares to control the infant spirit, he must be a very powerful person.
Before entering the alley, I specifically told her: "If you encounter a situation, don't cling to me and won't let go."
"When did I pester you? Even if I did, it was a subconscious action and I didn't even know it. Besides, I didn't blame you for taking advantage of me, so why are you still not happy?" The girl widened her eyes and looked very angry.
I was speechless at these words. Yes, it was a free advantage for me to take, why wouldn't I be happy? But then I realized that it was wrong, and said unhappily: "It's not about taking advantage or not, it's because..."
"Go, go, go into the alley and work!" She pushed me into the alley without saying anything.
The sky was pretty good at this moment, with a hint of moonlight, and the alley was dim, and I could vaguely see some scenery. I walked in front, and the girl followed closely behind, pushing my shoulders with both hands, and walked a few steps to the door of Xiaojing's house. When I left last time, I remembered that the door was locked, but after reaching out and touching it gently, I found that the iron lock had been opened, and I saw a patch of black air on the door panel with my right eye, so they should have just entered not long ago.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a little nervous. After pushing open these two doors, the truth might be revealed. But this is also full of countless variables and dangers. It might even be our grave!
