After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 223 He Chunhua's Means

   There is no wind disturbance in the smoke, and it seems that something is about to take shape inside.

  If the brothers of the He family were here, they would probably be taken aback. They didn't expect their father to play such tricks.

  But at this moment, the candle exploded with a bang, blowing up a lamp.

  The housekeeper Lao Mo immediately felt that the atmosphere was different. He watched the green smoke slowly dissipate from it, and everything disappeared, no matter how much He Chunhua repeated the chanting.

   Obviously this time the spellcasting was hindered and could not proceed smoothly.

  Old Mo watched eagerly from the side, and couldn't help asking: "What happened?"

  He Chunhua wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It refused to answer the call, saying that there is a more powerful existence nearby."

  Old Mo was surprised: "A more powerful existence?" This is a small county town, what kind of extraordinary existence can there be? "What is the master going to do?"

   "Let's find another place before midnight, the best way is to go east."

  Old Mo put away his things, He Chunhua put on his cloak and hurried out.

  But they only went down two stairs when Mrs. Ying woke up, walked out with sleepy eyes and asked, "Oh, where are we going so late?"

   "I'm going out to do some errands, and I'll be back soon." He Chunhua said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep, don't worry."

  His low tone of voice meant that he could not comment on it. Mrs. Ying was very familiar with her husband's style, so she said "be careful" and went back to the room without thinking too much.

  …

  He Lingchuan, who was soundly asleep, turned over.

  He knew that he was dreaming again, but this time he didn't go straight into Panlong City, but went back to the scene where he fell into the well of the ruined pool a few months ago.

   At the Panlong ruins, the Heishuicheng army led by the He family father and son and Sun Fuping captured the prey from the sand sea and let the blood into the pool.

  After the heroic spirit of the Gale Army appeared, He Lingchuan accidentally fell into the pond, and there was water in all directions.

  Dark red blood.

   This is not a well, it is clearly an unfathomable deep pool.

  He Lingchuan was suspended in the water with a dazed expression on his face, a green light seemed to flash above him, and he was about to dive into the water.

  At least He Lingchuan felt that the top layer of the pool water seemed to have turned light green.

   This kind of light green quickly fades down.

   But at this moment, He Lingchuan found that the water under his feet began to surge.

  He looked down and saw a huge red figure swaying in the depths of the pool.

  Every time it moves, a huge vortex appears in the pool water.

  In the calm deep pool, there are countless torrents and undercurrents all of a sudden, interacting with each other.

  The green light on the upper layer was shattered and disappeared.

  He Lingchuan went downstream, wanting to seize the time to see the true face of the red figure. After leaving for a few months, he almost forgot that there was such a huge monster in the outermost layer of the dream.

   What exactly is it doing here?

  The closer you travel, the more you feel its size.

   But the light was getting dimmer, and soon he couldn't see anything.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the bustling streets of Panlong City, and a peddler carrying a load of jewelry and stammeringly smiled at him: "Guest, guest, this little, little brother, I want to buy a bead flower!" Send, give someone away?"

  …

  There is no curfew in this small place in Ru County, the night is deep, and the watchmen have just left, and there is not even a wild dog on the road.

   At this time, it is the first month, and the ground is covered with snow at every turn.

  It snowed again tonight, and someone will get up to sweep the streets tomorrow morning. The snow on the ground reflects the light, so the surroundings will not be completely dark. He Chunhua and Lao Mo walked east on the snow, the soles of their boots creaking.

   They didn't bring their attendants.

  The further east you go, the sparser the houses.

  Later, Lao Mo pointed to a dilapidated private house and said: "This is the house with the thickest snow at the door I have ever seen. There should be no one there."

  The snow is almost piled up to the latch, obviously the door has not been opened for at least half a month.

   "It's more than a hundred feet away from the post station, let's try." He Chunhua nodded, and climbed over the courtyard wall with Lao Mo.

  The yard is also full of snow, the trees and crops have died long ago, the door of the house is half open, and there is no popularity at all.

  When the current situation is bad, there are a hundred reasons for a house to be idle.

   The two walked into the hut and closed the doors and windows.

  The window slits are very large, so the cold wind can still come in, and at the same time, it makes a low whining sound, like the howling of a rock wolf, which needs to be blocked with straw. The wooden door was slightly deformed, and the two of them closed it together, and then used a millstone to hold it against it.

   It took a lot of work, He Chunhua rubbed his hands and said: "Hurry up, the time is almost over." If they missed the time, they would have to wait an extra day, and they had no extra time to waste in Ru County.

  He Chunhua straightened the overturned table, lit the green candle again, and began to recite the formula.

  Old Mo also took out the Shoushan Stone paperweight and held it tightly in his hand.

   This time, Qingyan's shape was smooth, and finally a vague pattern was condensed. I don't know if it is a ghost face or a dog face, but it has a nose and a mouth anyway.

  The temperature in the room suddenly dropped again, and frost bloomed on the table.

  Although there are only two empty eye holes on this face, the two of them can feel that it is watching them, with malicious intentions.

   Sure enough, the next second, this face rushed forward without warning.

  Old Mo got He Chunhua's confession in advance, so he didn't move.

  Qing Yan was about to cross the table when He Chunhua waved his left hand, showing the Sheji Token in his palm.

  The luck of the country can suppress evil spirits!

  Qing Yan was startled, and retreated quickly, at least four feet away from him.

  Since this person is untouchable, it turns around and looks for Lao Mo.

  Old Mo is a loyal servant of the He family, but not an official ordered by the royal court, so naturally he will not have vitality to protect his body. But the paperweight in his hand suddenly glowed blue, and the carved kite head turned around, with a pair of red eyes facing the blue smoke.

   Being watched by it, the blue smoke suddenly settled in the air, almost collapsing.

   After a while, the smoke gathered again, and the grimace became clearer. He stared straight at He Chunhua, and turned his head sideways, as if asking, but his expression was no longer contemptuous. He Chunhua said seriously: "I will give you a delicious dish, but he is protected by the amulet and formation, so you may not be able to find him."

  He raised the note on Li Zhao's birthday, put it on the candle and lit it:

   "This is his birth date."

  The note caught fire and quickly burned to ashes. The blue smoke rolled on the table, sucking up all the ashes, not a single one remained.

  The flames were trembling, and it could be seen that it was very interested.

  He Chunhua asked: "Can you find him?"

  Qingyan did not respond.

   Sure enough, the date of birth alone was not enough. Li Zhao was under the protection of magic to prevent the evil spirits from tracking him.

  He Chunhua took out the porcelain finger belly bottle.

  The bottle stopper was so tight that even He Chunhua took a little effort to pull it out, which also showed the deep disgust of the person who took the specimen at that time.

   Guanshi Qian was right. After two or three days of brewing, the liquid poured out of the bottle was foul, smelly and yellowish.

  He Chunhua pinched his nose and dripped two drops onto the candle wick, fearing that it would extinguish the flame.

   But to be honest, this smell is far from the "Xiang Duanzi" made by the bandits on Hongya Road, which is the real biological weapon.

   With a sound of "嗤", the flame of the candle jumped up and turned into a dark green color, which made the faces of the two people beside the table look green, which was really scary.

  Qingyan became more solid, and eyeballs grew out—three solid pupils were born in each eye socket, and there seemed to be light floating inside, so it was hard to look closely.

  Visible object means it has a goal and direction.

"He has done bad things before and after, so he should be your favorite prey." He Chunhua reminded it, "When he was young, he encountered a flood and betrayed his close brother, causing him to drown. Heart knot, you might as well start here."

  The three vertical pupils of this grimace suddenly merged into one, and the face became very clear. He slowly opened his mouth and spelled out a smiling face.

   But this mouth is too wide open, 140 to 50 degrees, the cheeks, eyes and even the forehead are stretched long, the muscles are twisted and wrinkled, it looks like a wax figure is about to melt.

   What is more terrifying than meeting a ghost face is that this ghost face laughs silently at himself.

  The housekeeper, Lao Mo, felt a chill go down his back, and goose bumps appeared on his skin.

  He Chunhua didn't change his face: "Found it? Go, before dawn."

  Grimace glanced at the two of them again, then suddenly turned his head and floated away, his figure getting lighter and weaker.

   It disappeared before reaching the door.

  The candles are also extinguished.

  The housekeeper Lao Mo blinked, waking up like a dream. Looking at the interior again, it seems that there is something different from before, but I can't tell.

   Well, it seems that the weird atmosphere is gone.

  He Chunhua turned his head and said to him: "You fell asleep just now."

   Asleep? how is this possible? He has just been protecting the law for the adults, and he has been engrossed in it.

   Seeing that he didn't believe it, He Chunhua pointed to the corner of his mouth.

  Old Mo reached out and touched it, it was wet.

  He was actually drooling, and hung on for a long time, and he didn't even notice it.

   In other words, he was indeed confused just now.

   "Your Excellency also saw Qingyan?"

   "Of course, we are in the same dream." He Chunhua pointed to the kite-shaped paperweight he held in his hand, "Without the protection of such a baby, you wouldn't be able to wake up."

  Old Mo shuddered: "It's so powerful, I don't know when I will be recruited."

  He was prepared to be on guard, but what about Li Zhao, who was tens of miles away?

"Li Zhao has a magic weapon to protect himself, and ordinary evil spirits can't get close to him, otherwise I wouldn't have to spend so much effort." The green candle was only half burned, and He Chunhua put it away, "This thing is its ration, otherwise How can it respond to my call? It's a pity that the candle is not easy to come by, and it is not enough to cast it again."

  Old Mo asked him: "My lord, why did you only mention one knot in Li Zhao's heart?"

   "One corpse and two lives, he won't take it to heart." He Chunhua waved his hand, "A concubine dies when she dies. Do you think he is short of women or offspring?"

   Speaking of this, he remembered something, and frowned: "But, what happened to the post station? Is there anything nearby that can suppress my practice?"

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  Grandpa Li dreamed about that unforgettable summer again.

   He hasn't had this dream for a long time, and his brother treats him even better than usual, giving him a very beautiful belt. The children took off their jackets on the rocky beach and jumped into the river to play in the water. The cool water can beat the scorching heat to the ground.

  Everyone was having fun, and human voices came from a distance.

  Li Zhao looked up and saw a girl carrying a medicine basket. She was standing halfway up the mountain, waving wildly and calling.

  The distance was too far, and the sound of the water was so loud that no one could hear what she said.
