Chapter 617 The Moonlight Is Thick and the Ghosts Move Ψ(? *`?′ * )??
'...'
"A trace of dreamlike wind and rain, the road follows the people..."
The music is melodious and the singing is melodious...
Waves of weeping, complaining, dreamlike and beautiful songs flowed among the pavilions and pavilions by the lake in the middle of the night.
The melodious and melodious ditty that sounded like the sounds of nature from that wonderful voice finally stopped gradually with the plucked strings at the end... However, the melodious female voice and the sound of the piano are still in the dilapidated Lanruo Temple. The deep building complex echoed back and forth, and it didn't stop for a long time in this quiet moment of the night.
"..."
After a long time, about half a quarter of an hour.
When Nie Xiaoqian, who had just finished singing a ditty in the first district, sat silently with a little self-pity, and before she had time to get up to say goodbye, or persuade the little girl to leave early, the accident happened suddenly!
"ah!!"
Because, Nie Xiaoqian was shocked to see: their tree demon grandma didn't know why this time, she didn't act according to the rules they had established in the past, but instead blatantly killed her regardless?
While the other party was taking advantage of her singing to attract the little girl's attention, a few tree root tentacles that looked like giant pythons suddenly sprang up from the ground, and slammed towards the girl who was still sitting upright with the big red hanging hanging. The little girl on the crossbar of the lantern, stabbed hard at the back of that little figure who seemed to be unprepared? !
Zhenging~!
Discovering this unexpected situation, although I don't know why their grandma would not follow the rules to ingest the blood of living people this time, but seeing that the little girl didn't notice, and was about to die under the claws of the tree demon grandma Nie Xiaoqian couldn't bear it, so she exerted a little force with her fingers, and instantly tore a string of the paulownia lyre in front of her, causing it to let out a piercing broken cry.
Nie Xiaoqian obviously didn't dare to disobey their tree demon grandmother, and she didn't dare to help the little girl who made her feel good about herself. After all, they just met by chance... So, besides pretending to be careless, she She broke the strings and made a strange noise, trying to remind the little girl who was sitting on it holding the puppet and listening to her song with her chin propped up, that she really couldn't do anything .
puff! !
The tentacles of the roots moved quickly, even though Nie Xiaoqian had reminded them in time, but those python-like roots still twisted swiftly and viciously towards the little figure before the little girl made any other moves. There was a slight muffled sound as it hit and wrapped around the opponent's back.
However, in the next second, something even more astonishing happened to Xiaoqian:
The tree demon grandma's roots seemed to have tightly wrapped around the roots of the little girl's body, but at this time they were blocked by a layer of red transparent formation-like barrier?
With that seemingly fragile layer of red light, the extremely powerful dryad grandma could only continue to entangle and strangle with the roots in vain, but even if the roots and tentacles made a series of 'creaking' sounds due to excessive force , but can't do anything about that barrier?
"Aha!"
?(^?^●)??
"You can't catch me like this! That...do you want to come and play with my little bear? It's really super fun!!"
ψ(?*`?′*)??
Discovered that the big tree man was desperately trying to use the skill of 'Entangling Roots' to attack him, and now he is still trying to tie himself up?
So Annie stood up from the stake with a smile on her face, and held her little bear Tibbers in one hand, while smiling coquettishly with the other hand, without waiting for the tree man to answer or make other reactions, just He stretched out his white and tender little finger indifferently, and slowly touched the lava shield barrier in front of him with his fingertip!
The next moment!
Waves of ripple-like fluctuations appeared on the transparent red shield...
Subsequently,
The red shield, which was originally only translucent and seemed harmless to humans and animals but was extremely strong, suddenly burst into flames! Even, layers of violent flame energy like molten lava began to flicker violently above it? !
Immediately afterwards, as a matter of course, the roots of a dryad grandmother who was dying and tightly wrapped around the shield were instantly ignited and burned by the violent flame energy on the lava shield!
"!!"
‘Wooooow~hiss~! ! '
The sudden change made those roots feel as if they were holding a red iron, and they had to be loosened instantly from the state of being tightly entangled and trying to strangle the shield!
but……
In the case that the roots have been ignited by the fire ignited by the magic energy, those roots, whether they dare to continue to wrap around and touch the lava shield, is actually not that important.
"Ha ha!"
"Look, I said it was fun, right?"
?(*^-^*)?
"I'm telling you, my magic flame will keep burning like this, no matter how much you thump, no matter how much you soak it in water, it's useless!!"
(‘^ω???)???
Looking at the root that seemed to be the arm of the tree man, thumping desperately on the ground and in the lake, little Annie smiled kindly and reminded the other party of this sentence while pretending to be kind.
Anyway, the flame that Anne released just now was not fueled by oxygen and combustibles. That kind of magical flame actually burned the life and other energy of the tree man. It will just slowly burn towards the opponent's body along the root tentacles of the opponent's tree, until the whole huge tree man is burned to ashes!
Crash!
Boom! !
The roots of the dryad beat vigorously in the water and silt in the lake for a long time, making loud noises, and splashed little water splashes, splashing to the gazebo by the lake.
Afterwards, the Dryad fluttered around for a long time, and even soaked those huge tentacles directly into the lake water, but the flames burning on them did not show any signs of extinguishing, and even burned the lake water red, and the tentacles soaked around After the area was still slowly boiling, whether it was the female ghost Nie Xiaoqian who was standing there stunned, or the dryad grandma whose body was in the distance, they all knew:
They met the little girl, and the other party didn't lie! The flames burning tenaciously on the tentacles of the roots when struggling, it is strange! !
"..."
that flame...
Could it be the legendary Samadhi True Fire?
Nie Xiaoqian, who hugged a pillar of the gazebo, seemed to be a little scared by the little girl's spell, looked at the little girl and the red flames that were still burning on the roots of the dryad's grandmother with some doubts. At the same time, he couldn't help trembling slightly with fear.
Because she knows, no matter if it is the real fire of Samadhi or not, she can feel that that kind of strange flame has a fatal restraint ability against ghosts like them. , then it must be burned to ashes!
At that time, don't say that the soul is scattered, I am afraid that even the fragments of the soul will not be left behind! !
‘Woo ho ho ho~! ! '
Finally, after a tragic hiss, those burning roots quickly broke from the middle by themselves, and the burned parts were directly discarded.
Apparently, the dryad grandma, who had struggled in the lake for a long time, seemed to understand that water or soil alone would definitely not be able to extinguish the fire! Therefore, under a decisive decision, she brazenly and actively cut off all the roots that were on fire, and then the remaining ones quickly shrank back to the ground and disappeared, and she did not know where to hide. up.
"Ooh..."
( ̄△ ̄;)
"Tibbers, that tree man is really cunning, and he even thought of such a way. It's not that kind of gecko, how can it just cut off its tail?"
(°ー°〃)……
Annie knew that those roots were very important to tree people, whether they were hands or feet, or tongues for eating?
But who would have thought that the other party, under the situation of being fatally threatened, can make such a big determination to cut off several huge long tentacles at once, it must be very painful, right?
(…)
(Dear little master, isn’t her real body in the cemetery behind the ruined temple? Let’s just go there and burn her with a fire. It won’t escape!
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
——The left and right are just treants who know some druid nature spells. Tibbers has seen a lot of those guys in the world of Azeroth, so he doesn't take it too seriously! The kind of tree people, they move very slowly, or can't move at all? And now this treant is at most a little bigger and a little bit more energy. With such an existence, if he dares to provoke his little master, Tibbers, wouldn't he be tired of living? )
"Forget it, it just screamed so badly, it sounds really pitiful, so... shall we burn it later?"
(*°▽°*)╯?
Annie is in a good mood now, because she just finished listening to a nice little song, and she doesn't want to pay attention to that insignificant old tree man for the time being.
After all, that big tree that has grown for thousands of years is really rare. It would be a pity if it was burned... And if it was kept, maybe someone else could cut it down to make furniture and other things. A solid wood slab like a coffin lid, or car beads as a bracelet? !
As for whether the act of cutting down trees to make furniture is good or not, that is not something that Little Annie should care about.
"Huh?!"
Σ(`д′*ノ)ノ
When little Annie turned her head, she unexpectedly found that Miss Nie Xiaoqian, who was standing in the pavilion like a banshee and wraith just now, flew up in fluttering white clothes and fled away in a hurry? !
"Miss, don't run away, sing me another song?"
?ヾ(′?`o)+
However, it was okay for Little Annie not to scream. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Nie Xiaoqian, who was frightened by her, ran faster and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if she was hiding in this shabby place. In the cemetery behind the temple?
"All right……"
"Then let's listen to it another day!!"
..(___)ノ|
Although there was a little regret in her heart, since the other party was afraid of her now, Annie didn't chase after her. She just jumped off the crossbar with the red lantern hanging on it in a boring way, and moved to the pavilion by the lake curiously. In front of the qin platform, he began to pluck the silk strings on the paulownia qin.
This is a good thing that Miss Nie Xiaoqian left behind when she fled in a hurry just now. Now it's just for her to play with and practice her hands?
Boom boom boom!
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding~!!
Different from the clear and melodious fingering played by a certain female ghost just now, with a lingering sound, which can also make people physically and mentally happy, what Little Anne plays now sounds almost the same as that played by Nie Xiaoqian before, but it is just It was forcibly ejected by relying on her powerful memory, without the slightest emotion fused into it at all!
So, it can't be called music at all, it can only be called... noise?
(…)
(/-?-\)
(Tibbers, who was thrown on the piano platform, suddenly sat up by himself, and then tightly covered his ears... Now his little master is having fun, and he doesn't dare to die Jump out and say some truth to make yourself uncomfortable!)
"Ha! It's so fun, Tibbers, look, this thing, I didn't expect it to play like this?!"
(●'?')?
Annie soon discovered that this wooden harp with only seven strings can produce so many sounds? What's more, different positions of playing the strings, or pressing different positions with hands, will the sounds be different?
Also, she also paid attention to it just now, it seems that the young lady named Nie Xiaoqian, when the other party is playing, also has different playing techniques such as wiping, picking, hooking, ticking, hitting, etc.?
Boom boom boom!
Clank clang clang...
So, little Annie, who found a new toy and seemed to have forgotten why she came to Lanruo Temple, played happily alone in this small pavilion by the lake... With her disdainful efforts, it was so worthless. The sound of the piano, which was more than noise, spread throughout the entire Lanruo Temple one by one.
"!!"
"What the hell is that female ghost doing again? Is this a new trick they have created to disturb people's minds?!"
snort!
Since the fight between the dryad's grandmother and a certain little girl just now was not intense and ended too quickly, Yan Chixia didn't notice much was wrong, but just felt that the thousand-year-old tree demon was a little bit far away. It's just fuss.
As long as the other party doesn't come close to here, he will naturally keep in touch with that guy! After all, during the time they spent together in Lanruo Temple, they had already formed a tacit understanding with each other, knowing what to do and what not to do.
"I'm so angry!"
"What a female ghost, you guys are ruthless! Someone Yan confessed today!!"
After muttering a few cursing words, Yan Chixia was tortured by those "magic voices" that had no magic power but managed to confuse his mind. She couldn't calm down to meditate, so she could only secretly resent Clutching his ears, he fell asleep!
Since the female ghost was only playing the piano, and did not come to provoke him, Yan Chixia, nor did she succeed in luring the policemen to listen and check, then she could play whatever she wanted, and according to the rules, Yan Chixia would definitely not go there Control it!
—————
"Do you still dare to hide?"
"You're a slut who doesn't do enough to accomplish anything!!"
In the haunted house in the cemetery controlled by the tree demon's grandma, the thousand-year-old tree demon, who turned into a man and a woman, and looked a little embarrassed, was beating Nie Xiaoqian who was lying on the ground with a whip, constantly venting his heart anger!
Just now, she was burnt by a little girl and almost lost her vitality!
Therefore, she felt that it was all the fault of the lowly servant girl in front of her, and she found this place as soon as she came back, and beat the innocent Nie Xiaoqian well, venting her fear and hatred in her heart!
That little girl of unknown origin really scared her, a dryad!
Especially the other party's kind of flame that can restrain her!
You know, under the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, their dryads were born to be a little afraid of fire. Even if she grew up for thousands of years, even if she became a spirit, her fear of flames was still deeply engraved in her own instinct!
It's just that she might not be too afraid of ordinary flames, and there are some ways to extinguish them by herself... But, the strange protective means and flames released by that little girl are not good for her tree demon Method.
Before, if she hadn't broken her arm in time, she would have been burned to death by the terrible flames that spread now!
"Hmph! Bitch!"
"Hurry up and get ready. You will immediately go to the side hall of Lanruo Temple to seduce those arresters, and bring back their souls and flesh for my grandma to enjoy! Whoever dares to neglect, she will be your fate!! "
The dryad's grandmother pointed at Nie Xiaoqian who couldn't even stand up after being beaten by herself, and shouted at the other female ghosts!
Just now, after forcibly breaking several arms, the dryad grandma, whose vitality was a little severely injured, now urgently needs the blood and soul of living people to supplement her own loss!
"As for you..."
"Master Heishan will be a guest later, and I will give you to him as a concubine!!"
After giving orders to those submissive female ghosts, the dryad grandma, who blamed all the mistakes just now on Nie Xiaoqian, stared at the ground viciously in her unmasculine voice, and was beaten by her dozens of times. Xiaoqian, the female ghost next to her, said speculatively.
"Humph!"
In fact, the dryad's grandma has already found out: Of those newcomers in Lanruo Temple today, two of them are extraordinarily good in spirit and flesh, even as good as those rare geniuses and treasures?
And those two people are the leader of the catcher and the little girl! Especially that little girl, if she is allowed to eat the other party's flesh and blood, her cultivation will definitely break through the limit and reach new heights!
only……
That little girl seems to have some great talents, especially the spell of setting fire, which is very obvious to her thousand-year-old dryad! So, she can only shift her target temporarily, planning to take down the leader of the police who is just an ordinary person and doesn't seem to have much ability?
As for that little girl....
hum!
After the arrival of Master Heishan, let the other party go out to deal with the little girl, then it must be easy to catch! Just in time, that old demon has been spying on her little maid, Nie Xiaoqian, so she just treats it as a favor this time, and sends out this disobedient, lowly maid who dared to flirt with that little girl just now?
"Grandma! Please, don't give me to Master Heishan!!"
Hearing that the tree demon was going to send her away, Nie Xiaoqian's pale, bloodless face suddenly became even paler... In desperation, she hurried forward and hugged the tree demon's grandmother Legs, open your mouth and cry out!
Because she knew that if she was given to the old demon of Montenegro as a concubine, the torture would be considered light... And what's more terrible: from now on, she will never recover, never be reincarnated, and never have the chance to be reincarnated as an adult!
None of the female ghosts who were given to the old demon of Montenegro had a good end!
If she, Nie Xiaoqian, is really sent out, she will definitely be eaten by the other party after being tortured, humiliated and tired of being tortured by the old Black Mountain demon.
"Go away!!"
However, the tree demon, who was in a rage, kicked him away regardless of what the little servant girl thought. Now that she has made a decision, she will definitely not change it easily.
"..."
Seeing the dryad grandmother leave without looking back, Nie Xiaoqian could only sit sadly on the ground of the haunted house, lowering her head so that her full hair covered her elegant and refined face.
Sure enough, she already knew...
None of the lonely and wild ghosts who were trapped in this mass grave by this terrible tree demon grandmother and could not escape will have a good end...even if it is her, Ning Xiaoqian, even if she still retains her innocence. Few are true spirits of nature, but in the end, they still can't escape.
If she hadn't been buried in the mass grave of Lanruo Temple, and hadn't been coerced and controlled by the tree demon, she might have been reincarnated long ago? How could he continue to stay here in the human world like he is now, waiting for the order of the tree demon to harm people?
Well now, she will soon be given to the Old Black Mountain Demon. Even the last sliver of extravagant hope, the hope that one day she would be able to escape the control of the Tree Demon, reincarnate, and escape her miserable fate is gone...
"..."
"I really envy you, Sister Xiaoqian, she will soon be the bride of Lord Heishan... When the time comes, don't forget about us sisters?"
Seeing the dryad's grandmother leave, one of the female ghosts wearing green gauze took two steps forward angrily, and teased Nie Xiaoqian who was lying on the ground.
In the past, this Nie Xiaoqian was favored by the tree demon's grandmother, and had always had a high status and good cultivation conditions, which made her jealous a long time ago!
It's all right now, the other party will soon give it to the Black Mountain old demon, and she herself will definitely take over the position of this "sister" in the near future, and become the chief female ghost under the tree demon's grandmother, enjoy Everything the other party enjoys at this time?
"Ah!"
"Sisters, let's go, let's hurry up and deal with the group of arresters!"
The female ghost in Tsing Yi, who didn't dare to stay longer, for fear of delaying the important event of the dryad's grandmother, waved her hand, and let the other female ghosts with different expressions follow her to float out of the door, ready to carry out their tasks—— Seduce those fast catchers, and then wait for the opportunity to absorb their yang energy, spirit and flesh and blood!
At this time, the moonlight outside Lanruo Temple was thick, and a full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the soft moonlight shone through the dark clouds.
And tonight, ghosts from all walks of life began to move around under the moonlight, which is destined to be a sleepless night...
