Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Baby

Shen Che has never noticed that since the priest came to this prison, the baby rarely appeared. Not only did she no longer teach her to hopscotch, but even the intervals between giving her mushrooms became longer and longer—even if she appeared occasionally, she just sat in the corner with her head down, put the mushrooms on the ground, and immediately backed away , disappeared into a dark corner. "Strange, haven't you seen her yet?" Shen Che asked the priest, who still just shook his head. "Ah? How could it be? She came out just now, and she's sitting here!" Shen Che pointed to that corner, full of surprise—although the light in this underwater hell was dim, the priest is not an ordinary person, and should be able to see in the dark.

"Ying is a one-eyed, one-legged girl, wearing a large white cassock. She is very shy, and always likes to sit in a corner with her head down, not daring to look at others." Shen Che held the white "mushroom" in his hand. ", described to Yun Xi vividly, flattened her mouth, "She must be shy——every time I told her that the priest wanted to see you, she always shook her head and immediately used her little foot to move awkwardly. If I run away, I can't hold back." "One-eyed, one-legged...white cassock." Yun Xi repeated in a low voice, as if trying to remember something, and asked suddenly, "When you came, was she already here?"

"Ah? It seems, it seems..." Shen Che was stunned, and looked at the corner, "At that time, I fainted from hunger, and vaguely saw her coming out of the wall—it should have come earlier than me. " Yun Xi frowned, and asked abruptly again: "Is there a mark of the Moon Worshiping Sect Master on her face?" "You mean this moon bud?" Shen Che touched the gold powder symbol on his cheek in surprise, "I don't know...you can't see it. She always keeps her head down, her hair covers the left side of her face." "Oh... I see." Yun Xi let out a long sigh and said nothing more.

However, Shen Che's curiosity has already been aroused: "What's the matter, Lord Priest thinks she is also the leader of worshiping the moon?" "She taught you the Dance of the Bones...that is the ultimate secret technique that has long been lost." Yun Xi looked at that dark corner, but he couldn't see anything. He knew that person had deliberately missed him, " And the last one who can manipulate the skeleton flower with the Dance of Bones is Shen Ying, the leader more than a hundred years ago. Since she sank at the bottom of the lake, she has been lost forever."

"More than a hundred years ago?" Shen Che exclaimed in surprise, "But Ying is clearly still a child!" "She should be older than me..." Yun Xi raised his neck pierced by the golden rope, looked at the dark blue water shadow above the secret room, and an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Is she still alive? It's really interesting what……" The priest glanced at the dazed girl, and smiled slightly: "What you eat every day is this kind of Nine-leaf Mingzhi? No wonder you haven't starved to death all these years, but your spells have advanced rapidly."

"Nine-leaf Mingzhi?" Shen Che held the "mushroom" in a daze, and counted it carefully. It really was nine leaves, and couldn't help stuttering, "Then, what is that? I only know that Ying always can take out Now, I suspect that she has mushrooms growing on her body." "The Ganoderma lucidum grown from the moonlight in the extremely dark place," Yun Xi said indifferently, raising his eyebrows, "Like the Chihan Pearl of the Dragon's Blood for thousands of years, it is the treasure that magicians dream of. And you actually use it as a treasure?" Five years have passed." Yun Xi smiled with interest: "It's so interesting...she loves you so much. It seems that she has been too lonely for hundreds of years?"

However, his soliloquy was interrupted, and one hand held the Ganoderma lucidum to his mouth. "My lord priest, why didn't you say it earlier? You'll be fine after you eat this." Shen Che smiled joyfully. Although this child who grew up in the dark was already fifteen years old, she still looked like an eight-year-old child—these seven years of long confinement had not left any traces of cruelty in her heart. Shen Ying... Is that your achievement? However, looking at Jiuye Mingzhi who was close at hand, he shook his head: "It's useless." After a pause, he added: "This is just a medicine to increase spiritual power, it can't solve the blood curse."

"Ache," Yun Xi said suddenly, calling her over, "stretch out your hand." She leaned over in a daze, raised her other hand that was not holding the sword, and stretched it out in front of him. Yun Xi bit her middle finger, and slowly moved her cold and slender hand in her palm, drawing a spell with the pattern of manzhushahua.He painted very slowly, the blood congealed several times and couldn't flow out, but was torn out by him repeatedly. She watched the blood-red manjusawa bloom in her palm, and suddenly her whole body trembled slightly. As if drawing that flower exhausted all his energy, Yun Xi's face became extremely pale.Closing his eyes and resting, he whispered, "Next time, when you see Shen Ying, secretly imprint it on her body."

"Huh?" She was startled, looking at the bloody charm that was gradually drying up in the palm of her hand, she felt a vague sense of fear, raised her eyes to look at Yun Xi, and trembled, "My lord, this, this is..." "It's just a talisman to break the invisibility." Yun Xi smiled and comforted the girl, "She always hides and refuses to see me." "Oh..." She nodded suddenly. That day, when she was panicking with hunger, the baby finally came out. Still just sitting in that corner, bowed his head, didn't speak, just took out a white Ganoderma lucidum and handed it to her.She found an opportunity, and the moment she took the Ganoderma lucidum, she took the opportunity and quickly pressed her hand on Ying's hand.

The blood-red manjusawa charm became as hot as a soldering iron in an instant! At that moment, she clearly saw that Ying's whole body shook violently, and then suddenly raised his head. That was the first time she saw Ying's face in its entirety—only half of it: one eye, one eyebrow, half of a crooked lip, covered with countless scars.Such a terrifying face, like a distorted and torn doll, only exists in people's nightmares.Under her hollow left eye, there was indeed a small golden moon.Yingying trembled all over at that moment, raised his head, and looked at her with extremely terrifying eyes.

At that moment, it was she who screamed. She shook her hands subconsciously, wanting to get away from this terrifying face, but the strange charm actually tightly glued their hands together, no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless. "Master Yun Xi! Master Yun Xi!" Panicked, she exclaimed and asked for help. However, the priest on the golden rope behind him didn't say a word, just watched the scene with a smile. The talisman seemed to ignite a fire between the two of them, and Shen Che suddenly felt agitated, as if something poured into her limbs, bringing an indescribably comfortable feeling.Unknowingly, she gave up resisting, not wanting to break free in a hurry, a strange force kept pouring out of her palm, filling her whole body and mind. Baby's small hand was tightly pressed against her palm, his face was pale, his whole body was shaking violently, as if he was struggling, but his strength was pitifully weak.She looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief, and opened her mouth wide to say something. However, it was never said. ——At that moment, Shen Che clearly saw: she has no tongue. "Baby, baby! Don't be afraid!" She comforted her companion, pointing her to look up, "It's okay, the priest just wants to see you...it's okay, don't be afraid." The baby no longer struggled, and no longer used that thin little foot to jump away, letting her pull. Staring at her quietly with that one eye, a line of tears flowed from the corner of the eye. "Baby? Baby?" She was finally frightened by the tears, and stopped pulling her, "You don't want to? If you don't want to, forget it." But the moment she let go of her hand, Ying suddenly became tired.The large cassock fell to the ground, and the one-eyed and one-legged woman inside shrank suddenly, her body curled up into a ball. "What's the matter with you?" Shen Che asked in panic, but saw Ying's eyes pass through her shoulders and shoot directly at the person behind him who was pinned by the golden rope—eyes full of sadness and faint anger.For some reason, when Shen Che saw that gaze, his heart skipped a beat, as if he saw some flame rising from the ground, and he was about to get out of control. "Master Yun Xi, what's wrong with her, baby?" She followed Ying's gaze and asked for help. The high priest of the Moon Worship Sect had a cruel smile on his lips, saying word by word, "She is going to die." Shen Che was taken aback, and blurted out in shock: "What? How come!" "You sucked up all her spiritual energy, so she's going to die." Yun Xi looked at the woman who was shrinking under the vestment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha... Shen Ying, you drowned yourself in the lake back then. , didn’t you swear to cross the evil spirits in the lake? What a boring thing!——It’s better to give Ah Che all the years of cultivation.” Shen Che was so startled that his face turned pale, his hands softened, and he sat on the ground paralyzed, speechless for a while. Sure enough, there was a strange air floating in the body, and the limbs and bones were indescribably light and joyful.She looked down at her hand, the manjushahua charm in her palm was so bright red that it was about to bleed.Petal by petal stretched out, covering the entire palm, the originally crystal white hand was like a devil's claw just lifted from the pool of blood. "No...no!" Looking at the bloody hand on her body, she finally cried out, shaking her hand desperately, "I don't want it, I don't want it! My lord priest, I don't want this! I want the baby to come back to life... ...I want the baby to come back to life!" "Children's words." The person who was nailed to the golden rope smiled, and there was a faint arrogance in his eyes, "Do you know what you have obtained now? This is the supreme power that many people dream of, and it is enough to let you surpass others." Above the common people. And now, I gave it to you, why don't you thank me?" "I don't want it!" Shen Che hugged the curled up baby, feeling her body shrinking rapidly, was frightened out of his wits for a moment, and just kept shaking his head, "I don't want any power! I would rather be imprisoned here for the rest of my life! Please bring the baby back to life... please don't let her die." However, when she was touched by her left hand, Ying's body trembled for a while, and an expression of anger and hatred appeared in that one eye—"Get out!" With all her strength, she pushed her away and said a word. With the lonely company under the water for many years, Ying has always been as calm as still water, and she has never seen the slightest emotion in her—but at this moment, there is a terrifying expression in the eyes of the child with only half a face!That kind of viciousness and hatred seemed to have been buried underground for many years, and it surged out with the arrival of a certain opportunity. Baby, baby, she... hates herself so much, right? Shen Che let go of his companion, staggered to the side of Jin Suo, looked up at the priest, anxious and flustered, raised his blood-red left hand: "Master Priest... quick, quick! Return the strength to the baby, Bring her back to life, please!" "I just want her to die. I hate everyone who is stronger than me." Yunxi looked at the girl who was so pale with anxiety, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly in a vicious tone, "And, Ah Che, I just want to kill her by your hand——she was on guard against me from the beginning, because she saw that there was 'evil' in my heart. But only against you, she was defenseless." In that case, in the claustrophobic deep blue water, every sentence is like a sharp sword being thrown.The sword pierces the heart. She had never heard such cruel words in her life. Shen Che was stunned, and looked up at Yun Xi, his eyes changing rapidly.From shock, disbelief, and sorrow, to extreme anger, the blood-red hand slowly descended, holding the white bone long sword. "You lied to me." She choked up, and wanted to cry but couldn't cry for some reason. Yun Xi pursed his lips indifferently: "Yeah, you are so stupid... Who are you going to lie to? Xiao Yezi is much stronger than you, and it was right to abolish you back then." He spoke slowly, looking carefully into the child's eyes. In just a few words, those clear eyes gradually withered, died, and became empty. "So, you are really—" He was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a burst of crying. "You lied to me! You lied to me!" As if suppressed to the extreme, Shen Che finally burst into tears. She rushed over desperately, and subconsciously swung the bone sword in her hand, trying to make the person in front of her spit out evil words. Close your mouth forever, "Bad! Don't say any more...I, I hate you!" Shen Che never knew how terrifying her power was at this moment. The moment she drew her sword, she was no longer the same as she was a moment ago. That sword went up from bottom to top like a thunderbolt, piercing through Yun Xi's chest in an instant, nailing the priest of the Moon Worship Sect firmly to the top of the Red Lotus Hell.Countless cracks spread out on the glass-like prison roof, like the blooming of a manjusawa flower—the power of that sword even pierced through the barrier of Hell! Shen Che's angry expression also condensed behind that sword. Killed?She, she killed Master Yu Xi!Shen Che staggered back, raising his eyes in fear to look at the man in white on top.The clear expression in her eyes was gone, replaced by fear, panic and bewilderment. The power of that sword is terrifying.Endless blood flowed from the heart of the immortal priest, and Yu Xi's face quickly turned ashen.Instead, he looked at her and smiled. He has lived so lonely for a hundred years, and no one can end the priest's life - the moment he saw Shen Ying at the bottom of the water, how happy he was to meet such a stronger power than himself!Just as Master Feng Ya finally died under Horn of the Great Bright Palace, he finally found someone who could end his life. "Good job. I've been waiting for such a sword for a long time... don't worry about it. Ache, I deliberately provoke you." He stretched out his hand to the bewildered child, fingertips Dripping blood, Guan Yinxiao had a rare warm smile on his face, "Ache, you have grown up. Remember, never do things on the basis of trusting others... In this world, everyone It's an island." There was a fascinating power in his tone, Shen Che didn't retreat any more, just stared at him blankly, suddenly felt endless fear and regret, and cried out loudly. "Don't cry, don't cry." Yun Xi's bleeding hand finally touched her face and smiled. However, there was only confusion in Shen Che's eyes, and his mind went blank—the baby was about to die...and she killed the priest!Everyone is going to leave her, what should she do alone in the future?Might as well be dead. "Nonsense! You don't have to be afraid anymore, you will become the strongest!" When the thought first came to her, she seemed to understand it clearly, and Yun Xi immediately scolded.Slowly stroking the child's cheek, the dying man's eyes were tranced and loving, looking at the eyes that were no longer clear, he whispered like a sigh, "Do you know? You and Sha Manhua are both little white fairies, and Little Leaf...is a red goblin." "But in this world... goblins can survive, but it is very difficult for white fairies... "Sha Manhua has Shu Ye. But my little Ache... What will you do after I die?" "You're going to grow up sooner or later...and I'm glad I taught you that lesson." Yun Xi's fingers stroked her cheek lightly, but his voice gradually weakened.How much he loves these clear and pure eyes, but now he can never go back... It was he who personally turned the little white fairy into a red goblin. ——Just like Little Leaf back then. Exhausting the last bit of strength that was about to be slackened, Yunxi used bloody hands to erase the mark on her cheek inch by inch, and at the same time erased this memory of her - since then, there has been nothing on her body. Belonging to anyone's imprint, she will live her life exactly as she wishes. She gave him death and peace, and he gave her strength and freedom. The blood gradually filled the secret room, and Shen Che felt as if there was a hot fire on the ground roasting her heart and lungs, and she was in trance and severe pain. However, the baby who was lying on the ground suddenly moved.A terrible expression appeared on her face, she no longer twitched in pain, but struggled to bend down, soaked her face in the blood, and began to drink the blood on the ground! Seeing that scene, Yun Xi's sanity was slightly startled, and he wanted to raise his hand, but he had no strength left. How...why are you still alive?After losing all his cultivation, this monster is still alive! Could it be... that the Nightmare has revived? He used Shen Che and borrowed her hand to end his endless life.However, he never thought about the consequences of using such a method! ——He released a demon that had been suppressed underwater for a hundred years, but he let go. Blood flowed out endlessly from his body, covering the floor of the mysterious room. However, when he looked down and saw the girl who was sucking blood in the pool of blood to revive her life, a shadow suddenly flashed in Yun Xi's eyes.Shen Ying spent so many years in self-isolation underwater, working hard to restrain the spread of demonic nature in her heart, but now she was suddenly stripped of all her cultivation, what would happen to the dormant nightmare in her body? Nightmare is about to revive!Once Shen Ying's will collapses, the demon in her body will recover! Even for a person like him, a cold current passed through his heart.Before the living soul completely dissipated, Yun Xi exhausted his remaining strength, and suddenly pulled out the white bone sword that pierced his chest, and with the last of his strength, he slashed at the girl who was drinking blood.Simply, let this monster, which has lived for hundreds of years, sleep forever in the dark bottom of the water with me! However, with the sound of "Kalala", as soon as the sword was pulled out, the ceiling of the cell immediately shattered into thousands of pieces! Countless evil spirits surged in with the water, filling the entire space. "Let's go... let's go." He threw away the sword and pushed Shen Che out, but he was slumped in the sea of ​​blood. Looking up at the skylight falling from the top, he felt that he was gradually melting in such a blurred light, turning into a pale water bubble, slowly rising towards the sun... Are you dreaming again? A hundred years of life is long and bleak, and he has been singing and running in the dark night, with betrayal, death, and darkness.Only in his dreams did he dream again and again that he was involuntarily drifting towards the light. That was his natural longing for light that he never admitted. He rose in a trance like a bubble, feeling that the blackness around him became lighter, lighter, brighter, and gradually changed from dark blue to dark blue, and from dark blue to light blue.The light shrouded it and shone on the foam— Finally, the moment it emerged from the darkness, it shattered on the surface of the water. The moment he lost consciousness, a white light flashed in the pool of blood——Shen Ying suddenly raised his head with the strength he didn't know where, and with only a push on the ground, he flew up against the falling debris, wanting to seize the opportunity leave. However, the collapse of the Red Lotus Prison only occurred for a moment. Relying on the densely packed runes, this airtight underwater prison has terrifying spiritual power and can quickly repair itself when it is damaged. Just as Shen Ying poked his head out of the crack on the top of the secret room, the Red Lotus Prison had already been restored. The evil spirit surged towards him, and Shen Ying's small body was condensed in the middle, he could only desperately wave his hands at the fleeing Shen Che, his face was contorted, and the expression in his eyes was filled with anger and despair, which was extremely strange and terrifying. "Help, save me... Ah Che!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of the water, hoarse and broken, hardly resembling a human voice. After escaping from the Hell, Shen Che, who was following the undercurrent to the crevice of the water, was shocked suddenly, and looked back—that was the voice of the baby!It was the first time that Ying called for help in ten years! How could she leave her alone? In order to make up for the harm done to Ying just a moment ago, Shen Che turned around without hesitation at the moment of life and death, and tried his best to pull that pale little hand that was waving desperately.Exhausting all his strength and pulling hard, he finally pulled the baby out of the hell!Because of that desperate action, Shen Che breathed out his last breath, and his sanity began to blur. "Heh...you are so kind." Following the inertia, Shen Ying's body floated out of the water, looked back at her, and grinned. The dazed Shen Che was startled, as if lightning flashed across her blank mind, making her feel cold all over. That kind of smile doesn't look like a baby's at all! Such viciousness and strangeness, with cold evil spirit and desire to kill, seemed to be a demon fleeing from hell. "Unfortunately, your baby died the moment you plotted against me just now." The girl with a devilish smile moved her fingers and clasped her hand in turn, her fingers were cold, "Thank you... Shen Ying has been imprisoned in her body for hundreds of years. If it wasn't for you, how could I escape?" "You, who are you?" Suddenly recalling a distant legend in the religion, Shen Che was in a trance, and wanted to exclaim, but he couldn't make a sound due to the exhaustion of both body and mind, and gradually fell into a coma in the water. However, at this moment, a cold hand touched the back of her neck, and she smiled softly: "Have you heard of Nightmare?" Before she fell into a coma, a question was suddenly heard in her ear. Then, with a click, the cold hand inserted into the spine behind her neck.
