C186 ox head

I said to Mr. Zhao, "What you're saying is, am I going to die, or is Xia Xin going to die?"

Mr. Zhao said, "You're about to die, and Xia Xin's condition isn't too good either."

I sighed. "Do you have to be so direct with your words?"

I am only a soul right now, so my soul originally did not have much weight. Furthermore, I am about to scatter, so Mr. Zhao felt as if he was walking on air while carrying me on his back.

It didn't take long before we were far away.

I saw the corpses and flowers on the roadside change again. As the Road to River Styx went deeper and deeper, the corpses became more and more shriveled.

Finally they lost their flesh and turned into a pile of bones on the ground. From the eye sockets of the skeleton grew a flower.

However, after the flower had bloomed, it also gradually withered away. I saw the flowers gradually withering and drooping.

I looked back, and all the flowers along the way, from birth to death, had actually formed a complete process.

I said to the Mr. Zhao: "If we keep going forward, shouldn't we be able to see the flower seeds?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "That's right, isn't it right in front of us?"

I saw that the flower in front of me only had one light pole left, and I was about to tie it. However, it was still a bit too far from the knot.

I became a little impatient and said to the Mr. Zhao, "That's not right. It's been so long, why haven't I seen Xia Xin? Is she not here? "

The Mr. Zhao said, "Impossible, I was watching her being caught and brought in. She should still be in front. "

I looked up and saw that the Road to River Styx was gray. There was no one there anymore.

I said to Mr. Zhao, "Were we going too fast? "Let's go back and search."

Mr. Zhao said, "No need, there's only one more person here."

I followed the direction of his finger and saw that there was an old man at the side of the road. The old man looked as if he had been beaten up, and his face was bruised and swollen.

I said, "What's the use of having an old man here? He's not Xia Xin either. "

Mr. Zhao said, "Maybe he knows where Xia Xin is."

Only then did I notice that the old man was still alive. To be more precise, his soul had not dispersed, nor had it withered into an ignorant and ignorant skeleton.

Mr. Zhao carried me to the old man's side. He put me down and politely asked, "Gramps, did you see a girl?"

The old man said, "Who are you looking for? Aunt or Mother? "

Mr. Zhao patiently said: "I'm looking for a woman."

The old man's face was full of admiration. "You're still in the mood to look for a woman in this damned place?"

Mr. Zhao clenched his fists: "Did you see a young woman? Beautiful. "

The old man said, "What's the use of being pretty? I'm over eighty, and I'm no longer of any use."

Mr. Zhao punched the old man on the nose, causing blood to flow out.

Well, now I know why the old man was bruised.

After finishing the call, Mr. Zhao asked the old man: "Did you see a girl?"

The old man covered his nose and said, "I saw it."

Mr. Zhao asked again: "Where did she go?"

The old man pointed in the distance and said, "She ran over there."

It's the deep end of the Road to the Yellow Springs, and I don't know where it will end up.

Mr. Zhao carried me on his back and was about to chase after Xia Xin, but after taking two steps, he turned around again and asked while frowning: "What are you doing?"

The old man said with a sad face, "I am an innocent person. I have done good and good deeds while I was alive. After I die, I will not dare to commit any evil deeds." Who knew that one day, Ox-Head and Horse-Face would come and capture my soul, saying that they would send me to hell. Halfway there, they suddenly left me behind. "

Mr. Zhao pointed behind him and said, "Walk along this road, won't you be able to get out by yourself?"

The old man said, "Ox-Head and Horse-Face brought me here. If I were to secretly run away, wouldn't that be a heinous crime?"

I helplessly said to the old man, "Rest assured, Ox-Head and Horse-Face are fake."

The old man was surprised and delighted. "Fake?"

I nodded. "You should go quickly."

The old man agreed, turned around, and was about to leave. But the moment he turned around, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

I stopped the old man and asked him, "Did you see anyone around the girl when you saw her?"

The old man said, "No."

When I asked that question, I carefully observed the old man's face. His forehead seemed to have been fiercely smashed twice by someone, which was why it was swollen to the point that it looked like a bull's horn.

Bullhorn? A thought struck me. I've seen Horse-Face, so where's Ox-Head?

I whispered to Mr. Zhao, "There might be a problem with this old man. Maybe it's Ox-Head. "

Mr. Zhao slowly nodded his head. Obviously, he suspected the old man as well.

The old man carefully asked, "Can I leave now?"

Mr. Zhao acknowledged him, then turned and left. Just as he turned around, Mr. Zhao quietly took out his blade and stabbed at the old man.

The old man acted as if he had eyes on the back of his head as he quickly dodged to the side to avoid the blade and then turned around to grab Mr. Zhao's wrist.

His actions were done in one go. He was clearly extremely fast, but he appeared to be very calm and composed, I knew that he must be Ox-Head. I was a little worried that Mr. Zhao would be able to defeat him.

After Ox-Head grabbed Mr. Zhao's wrist, he actually stretched his hand out to grab the blade. Seeing how arrogant he was, I quietly took out the dagger and stabbed him in the heart from behind while he wasn't paying attention.

Ox-Head spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body froze on the spot. He slowly turned his head. He was angry, surprised and admiring as he said, "You little rascal, your soul is almost about to leave your body, yet you still want to make a move? Aren't you afraid that once you get excited, you won't be able to hold your little soul any longer? "

I weakly smiled. "I feel like I can still live for a few more minutes."

I gently moved my dagger and Ox-Head cried out in pain.

With my previous experience dealing with Horse-Face, I knew how to make Ox-Head suffer without killing him immediately.

I said, "Are you Ox-Head?"

Ox-Head replied, "Yes."

I asked, "Did you bring Xia Xin here?"

Ox-Head gritted his teeth and answered with a grunt.

I asked again, "Where's Xia Xin?"

Ox-Head glanced into the distance. "She escaped, she escaped over there."

Mr. Zhao crossed his arms and said, "Don't lie to me. You're pretty good, not any weaker than me. Xia Xin ran away, why didn't you chase after her? What are you trying to trick us for? "

Ox-Head's eyeballs rolled around, as if he was about to lie. I moved the dagger in my hand again, and he screamed. He pointed at his feet.

Mr. Zhao immediately began digging.

The Road to River Styx was only a narrow limestone road. On both sides of the road, there was an endless stretch of yellow soil. The loess felt soft to the touch, like a grave.

Very quickly, Mr. Zhao dug out a huge pit with a gunny sack inside. The sack was densely covered in runes.

Mr. Zhao opened the sack, and Xia Xin came out.

She looked at Ox-Head with a furious expression, eager to beat him up. However, he was stopped by the Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao asked Ox-Head, "Who are you and Horse-Face? You two are no ordinary kids. "

Ox-Head said, "I'm the Flower Protector."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Ox-Head looks like this, and still calls himself a Flower Protector. It's too discordant. "

Mr. Zhao crossed his arms and asked: "Where are the flowers?"

Ox-Head pointed at Xia Xin.

Xia Xin couldn't take it anymore and kicked him in the head. Ox-Head's body swayed, then broke away from my dagger. This was bad.

A large hole had been made in his back by my dagger. His heart was barely intact while my dagger was still there. As soon as my dagger was drawn, his shattered heart leaked out. Then he fell to the ground and his soul quickly disappeared.

Only after Ox-Head fell did Xia Xin notice me. She looked at me in surprise. "What's wrong with you?"

I helplessly said, "I've been bewitched. My soul is about to disperse. "

Mr. Zhao explained on the side: "The Five Devils are moving."

Xia Xin walked over, pulled my clothes open and looked at my chest, then looked at my eyelids a few times. Then she nodded and said, "Yes, it's the Five Devils. But luckily, it won't die within fifteen minutes. "

I helplessly said, "That's right, we still have 15 minutes to live. Should I rejoice?"

Xia Xin faintly said, "You really should rejoice. Because I know how to remove the five ghosts' evil arts. "

When I heard this, I was so excited that my soul almost left my body. "How do I get rid of it?"

I was very anxious, but Xia Xin calmly replied, "In the past, there were also people who were possessed by the Five Devils when they were in Hades. At that time, they used alisma fructus s. This thing completely burned the five imps, so naturally, the evil technique in that person's body was dispelled. "

The Mr. Zhao said in shock: "So alisma fructus has such an effect? I only know that this item is extremely precious and can only be found but not sought. "

I said, "I still have a quarter of an hour. Is there still time to look for it?"

Xia Xin didn't answer my question. Her topic was a little off the mark: "alisma fructus is actually a flower seed. Or chrysanthemums, or plum blossoms, or peonies. Actually, no matter what flower it is, it does not matter, because alisma fructus were not formed naturally.

"They bury someone's body under a flower and use some weird witchcraft around the soil. That flower will eventually take root in the corpse, and not only will it absorb the nourishment of the corpse, it will also absorb the soul of the corpse. "

"As a result, when the flowers bloom and fall, and when they give birth to seeds, alisma fructus will appear. The alisma fructus has the obsession of a dead person, if used properly, it can let the dead person be reborn through the flower seeds. "

Xia Xin said, "Of course, other people can also use alisma fructus to gather their soul. This is because it would have perfectly collected the soul. "

I sat on the floor and said, "What you said was quite lively. The key point is, where can we find it?"

Xia Xin smiled, "What a coincidence, there's one here."
