seal of magic

"Wake up, Qi Shao! Hey!"

In a daze, Qi Shao felt someone pushing him. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the ground. This time he finally returned to the hall.

The surroundings were in a mess, the ground was full of gravel, and the biting cold seemed to have dissipated a bit.

Qi Shao turned his head to look at Lu Ji, and saw that he was sitting next to him, with one leg curled and the other stretched out long. At first glance, he looked relaxed and undisciplined as usual, but if you look closely, you will find that he is There were many scratches and black marks, and blood was still oozing from several places.

"This is... what's wrong?" Qi Shao sat up and looked around blankly, "How did you get into this?"

Seeing Qi Shao wake up, Lu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief.These external injuries on his body are not serious, the serious ones are internal injuries.Leading the dragon is not a spell that he can control with his ability. He just borrowed a charm to force it, and now he is backlashing.He was very tired, and his dantian was cramped, making it almost impossible for him to continue moving.

But the current situation does not allow him to relax.Although he has temporarily resolved the resentful souls in this house, Dong Wende has not shown up yet. If Lu Ji's guess is correct, they are probably in a more dangerous situation than before: the closer they are to Dong Wende's lair, the more power he can use. The stronger he is, the stronger he is now.

Fortunately, Qi Shao woke up at this time.

"Hey, I saved your life again!" Lu Ji leaned against the wall and slowly adjusted his breathing.Losing the traction of the middle formation, these walls returned to a flat appearance.But thinking that there are so many people behind the wall, Qi Shao can't lean on it calmly like Lu Ji.

The tone was still Lu Ji's usual teasing tone, but the voice sounded obviously weak.Qi Shao regretted it very much. He thought he would not become a burden, but he was delayed again.

Because of his own growth experience, Qi Shao is very strict with himself. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he is unwilling to ask for help, let alone become a burden to others.But just tonight, he dragged Lu Ji twice because of his wrong judgment...

"Okay, don't blame yourself." Seeing Qi Shao's silence, and recalling what Qi Shao said when he fell into the teleportation formation, Lu Ji guessed that he was probably blaming himself again.

He has saved many people during his missions. These ordinary people have no spiritual power, so naturally they will not regard dealing with ghosts as their own responsibility. Without a sense of responsibility, they will not have the idea of ​​self-blame, especially in this dangerous situation. , the first reaction of almost all rescued people is to worry about their own safety, and no one will blame themselves first.

Qi Shao's reaction made Lu Ji feel a little interesting. He took the opportunity to reach out and rub Qi Shao's hair, comforting him: "It's easy to hide a hidden arrow, but it's hard to guard against it. He has a plan to plot against you, and you are inexperienced, so it's hard to guard against. In fact, you You should be glad you chose to stay with me, otherwise, according to the situation just now, you would have died."

Lu Ji's guess is actually not entirely correct. Compared with pure self-blame, Qi Shao is now more in a mood of self-loathing. He hates the feeling of being out of control that he can only rely on others and can't do anything by himself.

When Qi Shao didn't have such a strong consciousness earlier, his occasional dependence was exchanged for harsh ridicule.Since then, Qi Shao has been cautious. He has a delicate mind and is very intelligent. He will soon no longer need to rely on anyone. Even if he needs help occasionally, he will ask politely first.

It has been many years since something like this happened today, and instead of being ridiculed for dragging others down, he was comforted and overwhelmed.He stared blankly at Lu Ji, forgetting to move the hand that was rubbing wantonly on his head.

"Looking at me like this makes me think you have some indescribable thoughts about me." Lu Ji said with a smile.

Qi Shao quickly turned his face away, his flustered gaze betrayed his current mood.If it wasn't for the too dark light here, Lu Ji would have noticed that Qi Shao was still blushing a little.

"Is your injury serious? Do you need me to help you with medicine?" Qi Shao hastily changed the subject.

"Need, but not now." Lu Ji approached Qi Shao's ear and whispered to him, "I'll attract the attention of the mastermind in a while, and you help me set up a sleepy spirit array." He put a few talismans The paper was handed over to Qi Shao, and Qi Shao told his plan and told him where to line up.

The spell drawn on the talisman paper is exactly the same as the one Qi Shao saw Lu Ji carved on the tree in the woods before.He nodded, he felt much better to be able to contribute. He helped Lu Ji walk towards the corner of the hall.

The previous fire dragon blasted a hole here, and there is a secret passage behind the hole, and I don't know where it leads.The further you go, the lower the temperature in the cave, and the humidity gradually increases.Qi Shao heard the sound of dripping water in front of him. After passing a narrow bend, a damp cave appeared in front of him.

The cave is very spacious, and there is a dark pool on the left. There is a stone slab in the center of the pool. Ying Xiaoxiao is sitting on the stone slab and sobbing.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ying Xiaoxiao turned her head in horror, and when she saw Qi and Shao, she immediately said, "Don't come over!"

As soon as Ying Xiaoxiao finished speaking, a huge palm formed of black mist pinched her tightly. With a scream, her soul gradually became transparent, and was engulfed in the black mist after a while.

After Ying Xiaoxiao's soul body disappeared, the black mist continued to expand, gradually filling the entire cave.

Qi Shao began to feel difficult to breathe. The black mist was extremely cold, but it was as choking as smoke from a fire. He could only care about coughing.

Lu Ji drew out his dagger and dispersed the black mist around Qi Shao.While pinching the hand formula, he recited: "Lei Zun is above, help me subdue the devil! Use the power of the five thunders, break!"

A thunderbolt struck down, and the thick black mist gradually dispersed.

"It turns out that you are from the Zhong family, and you actually used a fake name to fool me. No wonder my ecstasy doesn't work on you. If Zhong Zhenlin was half as cunning as you back then, he wouldn't have been fooled by me."

As the black mist dissipated, a person appeared in the sight of the two.

This man was wearing a black robe, his face was full of bumps and there was no good skin, and the degree of cracking in his mouth exceeded the normal range of human beings. There was nothing where his nose should have been, leaving only two empty holes. The outside of the robe was also full of festering blisters.

A huge black figure stood quietly behind him, it looked like a tiger, but it was much bigger than ordinary tigers.

"Dong Wende! It really is you, you actually became a ghost!" From Dong Wende, Lu Ji couldn't feel a trace of life. He should be dead, but he didn't know how to lock his soul in the corpse.

"So what, even if you are a little clever, you are just a brat. Your skills are far behind Zhong Zhenlin, and today I will let you come and go."

Following Dong Wende's movements, Huying behind roared and rushed over.There was a sickening stench in the air.

Qi Shao led Lu Ji, and the two rolled on the ground in embarrassment, avoiding Huying's blow.

"Is the junior of the Zhong family only capable of this? Hahahaha! Could it be that they were exhausted by the previous brats?"

Lu Ji didn't care about retaliating, and fought back with difficulty with the dagger. Every movement involved pain in his dantian, and he was almost bitten by the tiger shadow several times.

Taking advantage of Dong Wende's full attention on Lu Ji, Qi Shao took advantage of the movement of avoiding the tiger shadow's attack, and secretly placed the talisman paper that had been folded into small pieces in the direction Lu Ji taught him.

Huying attacked Lu Ji several times but failed, and suddenly became irritable. It seemed that it knew that it would not get any benefits from Lu Ji, so it turned to attack Qi Shao.

Qi Shao bowed down enough to protect his vitals, but his arm was taken by the tiger's claws, and a long wound was scratched out, and blood flowed down his arm little by little.

Qi Shao snorted, and swallowed the conditioned reflex cries due to the pain.Vaguely, he seemed to hear a light click again, exactly the same as the previous time in the car.The voice seemed to come from within him, so that it could be heard in such a noisy environment.

This time it wasn't just the sound, he felt as if something had loosened inside him.

Huying missed the vital point, immediately turned his head, lowered his body, growled in a low voice, and prepared to launch the next attack.

The moment it pounced, Qi Shao finally completed the last arrangement that Lu Ji had explained earlier, and hurriedly rolled to the side, shouting: "It's done!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ji stretched out his hand to grab the void, and a huge net appeared on both sides of the cave, trapping Huying firmly in it.

"Roar--"

Huying roared unwillingly, struggling desperately.

Qi Shao got up and moved closer to Lu Ji.Lu Ji was panting badly. He didn't have much physical strength left, and he had consumed a little more fighting Huying before. Now he can barely trap it with all his strength.

"He's manipulating Huying...can't be distracted anymore. Take my dagger...to...get rid of him..." Lu Ji ordered Qi Shao panting.

It's one thing to help set up the formation, but another to kill someone.Even though he knew that the other party was no longer human, Qi Shao was still very nervous.

He swallowed unconsciously, the blood made his palms a little slippery.He clenched the hand holding the dagger, and approached Dong Wende step by step.Lu Ji's physical strength was exhausted, and the safety of the two of them depended on him alone.

"It's useless! It's useless! I've absorbed the grievances of so many people, and there will be more, more! Is it just trying to trap my tiger? Don't dream! Let me taste the bell today The resentment of the celestial master, it must be much more delicious than others!" Dong Wende ignored Qi Shao who was getting closer, and kept using spells to move Huying.

"Roar!"

With another roar, Lu Ji finally couldn't hold back, and Hu Ying broke free.

Huying, who was out of trouble, immediately rushed towards Qi Shao. Qi Shao was shocked, and swung his dagger to stab Huying.

Huying was stuck straight, roaring and rolling on the side.

Dong Wende urged her several times, but Huying didn't listen at all, and finally panicked: "Impossible, how could this happen!"

On the other side, Lu Ji also looked at this scene in surprise. He had clearly stabbed Huying with a dagger before, but he basically didn't hurt it. Why is the power of the same dagger in Qi Shao's hands different!

"Get up! Get up!" The previous spell had already stopped Huying, and Dong Wende became impatient and kept chanting the spell.Driven by the spell, Huying became impatient and tried to attack Qi Shao again.

Probably due to the injury, this time Huying's movements were not as fast as before. Not only did Qi Shao escape, but Qi Shao made up for it again by his side.

"Hurry up!" Dong Wende kept urging Huying regardless of Huying's injury.

After suffering another pain, Huying roared and turned to bite Dong Wende. Dong Wende was caught off guard and half of his body was bitten off by it.

"Ahhhh-"

The shrill cry echoed throughout the cave...

"Qi Shao! This way! Hurry up!" In the corner of the cave, Ying Xiaoxiao called Qi Shao anxiously, behind her was a long and narrow corridor.

"Let's go!" Lu Ji was the first to react, and hurriedly greeted Qi Shao.

Following Dong Wende's last scream, the black mist spread around the cave again, and gradually spread to the walls of the cave.

The walls of the cave began to move like the walls in the previous hall, and many painful and twisted faces appeared on the wriggling walls.

"Let's go!" Qi Shao rushed over to help Lu Ji up, and took him to the corridor behind Ying Xiaoxiao. The resentful spirits in the cave wall were breaking through the wall and chasing them.

"This way! Quick!" Ying Xiaoxiao led the way, "There is a teleportation array here, leading to the big camphor tree outside, come quickly!"

The two and one ghost hurried forward along the corridor, followed by the continuous roar of the tiger, and it was the tiger shadow that had finished eating and Dong Wende caught up again.

The roar of the tiger was getting closer and closer, and it was about to be overtaken.Lu Ji threw a talisman to stop Huying slightly, and at the same time shouted at Qi Shao: "Throw it with the five emperors' money I gave you before!"

Qi Shao quickly took out the five emperors' money, concentrated for a while, and threw two pieces at Huying's eyes, two pieces at its two front paws, and the last piece Qi Shao used a charm that he had snatched from Lu Ji's bag earlier. Wrapped the mouth that was roaring at it and threw it out.

After a successful blow, Qi Shao didn't care to stop, and followed Lu Ji and Ying Xiaoxiao to continue running deep into the corridor.Behind them, the sound of explosions continuously came from Huying's belly, Huying let out a huge roar, and the whole cave trembled.

"This hole is about to collapse!" Ying Xiaoxiao screamed.

The stones on the roof of the cave fell one after another amid Huying's roar, and after Huying dissipated, the resentful spirits behind him rushed up.

"It's here! You go first, I'll block it for you!" Ying Xiaoxiao urged the two of them pointing at the glowing slate in front of them.

"Together!" Qi Shao didn't bother to talk to Ying Xiaoxiao, and directly dragged her onto the stone slab.In an instant, the two disappeared from the cave.

Lu Ji then stepped on the stone slab, and he squeezed out all the spiritual energy in his body to perform a Thunderbolt.

The moment his figure disappeared, a thunderbolt fell and struck the stone slab. The moment the stone slab shattered, the entire cave also collapsed amidst the thunder.

The author has something to say:

Because it is the first time to write an article, although each chapter has been revised many times before it is published, after a period of time after it is published, some details may be expressed in a different way.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder can't control the hand that wants to edit the essay.

Therefore, if friends who have bookmarked see an update prompt, if they poke in and there is no update, then I must be changing the previous content.

Don't worry, I will only change some detailed words and typos. The plot and follow-up development are all fixed, and there will be no changes, so there will be no impact if you don't go back and watch~

This article itself is not a popular topic, and I wrote it for the first time, and there are many places where I can’t show the picture in my mind well. I thought no one would read it, but I didn’t expect that there should be more clicks. Several friends have been reading patiently.

Thanks again to every little angel who follows the article, I will work hard to improve my writing level (clench fist)!
