still want to harm people, don't blame us." I frowned and stared at her.This isn't the first time I've encountered a female ghost, but most ghosts who don't leave peacefully carry a lot of resentment...."Ouch! It hurts so much!" I cried, tears streaming down my face.
Jiang Qiyun frowned and pulled me into his arms. One hand pressed against the back of my neck, forcing me to look up, while the other covered my forehead, pressing on the Yinbai and Yangbai acupoints. He whispered, “Tell me, what kind of pain is it”
His voice was as clear and soothing as ever, giving me the strength to answer through the pain. "Something seems to be stuck in... it hurts so much... sniffle..."
"Who has touched you"
"...No one... besides you and my brother, has ever come close to me." I hugged my head and shook it.
The kind of pain that felt like a wedge hammered into my brain made it hard to breathe. I was shaking with the agony, and even the two little ones in my belly were kicking up a storm.
Jiang Qiyun's eyes had a hint of nervousness. He could handle many situations, but when it came to my stomach, he was even more unfamiliar than I was.
He felt my belly quiver under his kicks and hurriedly pressed down on the back of my head with his palm, giving me a deep kiss.
A kiss has always had the power to soothe the soul.
A tempest of emotions within his chest was brutally quelled.
Over and over again.
His lips tingled with a sharp pain before he pressed his forehead against mine and asked, “Better Don’t panic, it’s a curse. If your three souls and seven spirits are frightened, you’ll be even easier for the other party to kill.”
"Curse" I gasped, raising my eyes to meet his gaze just inches away.
His eyelashes were almost brushing against my nose. At such close proximity, even the slightest movement of his lips could bring them together, as if in a reluctant, tender kiss.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He pulled back a little, settled me into the back seat, and got out of the car himself.
A cold wind blew outside, and my brother asked, "What's wrong Are you going to search the mountains"
Jiang Qiyun nodded, raising his hand to form the Purple Micro Suppressing Demon Seal and the Dingjia Jue.
The index finger presses the middle finger, and the other four fingers press the index finger. This is the finger technique of Liu Ding Liu Jia, used to deal with corpses. Yin soldiers are probably ineffective against the Corpse King. Last time I cut off a piece of the Corpse Demon's tongue, it was also using Liu Ding Liu Jia.
Is he planning to take out the Corpse King that Elder Sister is carrying
The ghostly soldiers were arranged in an orderly manner, densely packed like mercenaries kneeling outside the carriage. When they received orders, they surged away like a tide.
Soon, I saw Long Xiaogē running over with a sullen face: "Mu Xia Qiao, something happened to you"
" ...A sudden splitting headache, does that count as a problem" I asked with a wry smile.
Long Xiaoge's face became even colder: "Is this true Sister told me you were her hostage, I didn't believe it! She shot an arrow at you—"
Shooting, archery!
Arrow shooting is just a metaphor, I guess it's just using a needle to prick "me".
Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "This is a seven-arrow nailhead spell Could she possibly know this"
Long Xiaogē looked at Jiāng Qǐyún, he seemed to have been able to detect Jiāng Qǐyún's presence from the very beginning.
"...Yes, her mother was the village shaman before she died. She knows many spells." Long Xiao's voice was a little anxious: "I trapped her in a cave. She threatened to stop casting spells only if I let her go, or else she would threaten you with... I promised her."
"Why did you agree! We're so many, how can we possibly not catch her Are we going to let her run off and join forces with Situ Lin" I looked at him anxiously.
Long Xiaoge rubbed his temples and said, "It's hard to explain in a few words. Anyway, I promised the Mu family not to let you get hurt... Are you feeling better now"
I nodded, looking at Jiang Qiyun anxiously: "We can't let Situ Lin meet her, she has so many spells, Situ Lin's accomplices will be even more numerous!"
Jiang Qiyun said coldly, "She cannot be let go... The Seven-Arrow Nail-Headed Scroll is a very powerful curse. It is said that even Scattered Immortals would be killed by the curse. Her cultivation level is not deep, she should not be able to do this, but she should be able to curse you to death. She cannot be allowed to escape!"
From their conversation, I learned that this Qijian Dingtou Shu is a very ancient magic spell, said to have a history of over two thousand years.
A practitioner of high Taoism writes a person's name on a talisman, attaches it to a straw man, and buries the victim's hair, skin, or nails inside the straw man. Then, they hang lamps above and below the straw man's head and perform rituals three times a day. Within three days, one soul can be subdued, and after twenty-one days, the person can be killed by curse.
"Could she possibly have reached this level of cultivation" I asked Dragon Little Brother in disbelief. If she could kill with such ease, she would've been running amok long ago!
"No, but she can make the cursed suffer! Mu Xiaoqiao, weren't you having a headache just now It must be because she stuck a sharp object into the straw man's head."
Long Xiaoge frowned deeply, "She wants me to let her go, or she will curse Mu Xia Qiao, making the Mu family and her undead husband turn against us and destroy our village."
"That's bull**," my brother said angrily. "We cooperate because we have a common goal. How you handle traitors is your business, but if Xiao Qiao gets hurt here, you're all responsible... You have to bring back that cursed strawman she has!"
The art of straw man magic has been around for ages. Those little straw men that just crawled all over me, they were here to take something from me. They took advantage of the chaos and pulled a few strands of my hair off and gave them to that woman.
"My Lord Emperor..." a shadowy official appeared beside Jiang Qiyun, "We found the practitioner."
"...Let's send Fang Shihun to hell, to eliminate all evil." Jiang Qiyun hesitated for a moment before uttering the words "eliminate all evil."
What does "doing one's utmost to eradicate evil" even mean He doesn't even need to get involved in this!
"Wait a minute!" I shouted, gritting my teeth against the throbbing pain.
I used to think my brother was just being protective of my stomach, but now I'm gradually realizing that Jiang Qiyun is starting to get nervous too.
It is unknown whether such changes are good or bad.
Jiang Qiyun frowned, returned to the car, and propped his hands on my sides, enveloping me in his arms.
"Mu Xiaoqiao, are you still being soft-hearted at this time Who knows how many strands of hair that woman got from you Who knows if she will threaten us with this method again next time"
"You can't have such a risk now. This is different from Situ Lin, sorcery is killing invisibly. Do you know that!"
His tone was harsh, with a hint of reprimand.
“ ... Qiyun, just leave her to Long Xiaoge. You protect me that's enough. We want the karmic debt to be as little as possible, right Didn't you say even immortals have to go through tribulation I'm afraid too much karmic debt will get you punished…”
He let out a cold snort, seeming unconcerned.
"You don't want to spend more time with me... us" I touched my stomach. "What if you're punished and sent to the Blood Pool again Maybe by the time you return, the child will be born... You wouldn't be there to help me give birth, would you"
I whispered, looking at him earnestly with my eyes.
He frowned, a strange sort of anger flickering in his deep-set eyes. He reached out and grasped my jaw tightly in his hand—
"Crossing Tribulation, crossing tribulation… Mu Xia Qiao, how could I not have been able to help you cross this tribulation!"l her the reason, she'll find a sorcerer to take me, what then"This guy is pretty smart."Are you staying put You're not running away Just sitting here waiting for the master to show up" I blurted out....
