381 Unease
manifests as a human, her ears and tail can't be fully concealed.Before I could even finish saying "making a brave face," the life rope in Xiao Nie's mouth loosened, and the four people below let out...Mrs. Ma's appearance was very abnormal, she wasn't like this before!
Who could walk so gracefully on all fours! Could it be that a fox spirit's soul has possessed them
"Grandma Ma..." I just opened my mouth, and was kicked by Xi Linzhou.
She glared at me fiercely, and I remembered her warning at the door just now: "Remember, when Master casts a spell, you have to call him Great Immortal."
"I immediately changed my tune and said, 'Greetings, Immortal... I'm looking for Old Mrs. Ma, she—"
She's asleep. Just tell me if anything happens, hehe... Are you going to remove the corpse poison What are your intentions She stopped a few steps in front of me, like a wary animal sizing up its prey.
Is Old Mrs. Ma sleeping What does this mean
“My goal is simple... of course, saving people starts with the closest ones, and this place is in the city. If the zombie plague infects living people, it'll be a big problem. If I have to say there's a purpose, it's to eliminate the zombie plague as quickly as possible and prevent the evil cult and the Situ family from succeeding. That's my goal.”
The immortal suddenly stood up straight, like an animal standing on its hind legs, with both hands tucked in front of his chest to keep his balance.
I huddled inside my hazmat suit, shivering slightly.
She shouldn't come charging at me and bite, right Looking at a humanoid animal in front of me is so weird.
"Mu Xiao Qiao... Aren't you here to ask me for a spirit communication If you want to invite the ghosts and spirits of the underworld to possess someone for divination, I guess only I and Xi Yaya could do it..."
"No!" I quickly refused, these witches are not easy to mess with, I'm a bit afraid of dealing with them.
"Hee hee hee hee." She laughed, swaying her body as she took two steps: "Don't rush to refuse... The world is round, going round and round, you never know when it might come back again, hee hee."
I'm a bit afraid of her. She can subdue this ferocious piece of wood alone, so she must be a powerful spirit.
"Great Immortal, did you alone seal this piece of wood How did you manage to do it" I asked.
She grinned, her lips splitting wide: “This corpse demon isn’t much older than a few decades. It lived about the same time as I did. In my life, I cultivated for three hundred years and guarded a boundary with my magic. ...Old Mrs. Ma and I shared life for decades, providing me with her body to occasionally absorb yang qi. When she's in trouble, of course, I have to help.”
"Then you have to help me vent my anger too!" Xi Lingzhou was furious: "Why not just suck the senior brother to death!"
Originally, Old Mrs. Ma took in a male disciple to provide this fox spirit's soul with occasional yang energy.
"Pathetic... just treat him like a mold, let you experience what sex is all about, so you won't be a virgin your whole life. Besides, you frigid thing, it doesn't matter where I touch you."
Xi Linzhou's face turned green with anger when she heard this.
I almost laughed out loud, truly a villain is met with their match.
“Mu Xiaqiao, now the Yin-Yang chains are broken. Last night when I was setting up the sealing formation, I vaguely saw a handsome deity using boundless divine power to swap spaces. The space where the Corpse Demon resided was pulled into the underworld… I also saw a huge black city… Infinite blessings, infinite blessings… The power of the venerable god is not something we demons can fathom…” she muttered.
I was stunned! Did this fox spirit's ghost really see it! Does she know about Jiang Qiyun's situation
"Great immortal! What did you see Can you tell me, how is he now!" I blurted out.
I still overestimated myself. Even if I pretended to be calm and collected, the worry in my heart was growing heavier and heavier.
Jiang Qiyun did not come to find me.
Over the past year, he has been by my side almost every night except for special circumstances.
I'm already used to his presence. If he's not around, I toss and turn at night, overthink things, and replay every word he's ever said in my mind.
The blood curse on his chest, the mandala flower, the insignia under his neck, and the speck of cinnabar in his palm... these are all marks he left on me, etched into my bones and woven into my soul.
I can control my surface emotions and appear calm and collected.
But it couldn't stop the longing and worry in my heart from growing wildly.
My eagerness couldn't be contained, and a triumphant smile spread across her face: "Hee hee hee... you really are like that revered deity—"
She didn't finish her sentence, she must have been mindful of Xi Lingzhou being there.
"Let me tell you... we witches aren't great at much else, but communicating with the spirits is our forte... I can tell you what I see, and even summon a spirit to deliver messages to you... But—" she gave me a wicked grin.
"...But What conditions do you need" I asked, frowning.
These witches never do anything good. Their practice of necromancy is draining their own bodies, lifespans, and blessings; you can't expect them to do any good deeds.
"...My conditions aren't difficult, I only need a woman, someone with a yin-dominant constitution, young and strong in spirit. Old Mrs. Ma's body is already aged, her spiritual power can't withstand my dwelling any longer. I need a new abode." The fox fairy said with a sinister smile.
Taoism sees the human body as a dwelling. Does this mean I should find a woman and have her take possession of it or share it with me
"No... I can't exchange other people's bodies and lives with you... You don't have to say it. If Old Mrs. Ma is fine, then we'll pull out the corpse poison and leave—" I turned my head to leave.
Just now… I had a moment of hesitation.
If I find a suitable woman to let her live here, and regardless of her life or death, as long as I can know Jiang Qiyun's current situation.
But I held back. Jiang Qiyun said that one should accumulate virtue and goodness, not go astray or take crooked paths.
If I were to find a woman for my own selfish desires and let this fox spirit possess her… wouldn’t that be harming her
"Hee hee hee... This condition is easy to meet... You should consider it carefully..." Her sharp voice echoed behind me.
I dared not look back, for fear of falling under her spell.
I'm very curious to know about Jiang Qiyun's current situation and whereabouts.
I also want to know about the black, enormous citadel the old witch spoke of. Could it be the scene from my dream But I can't make a deal with them.
Xi Lingzhou followed closely behind me, she sneered and whispered, "How is it My conditions are already mild. The Great Immortal opens his mouth and wants a living person! I only need the blood of your man..."
"Is she really your master Why did Old Mrs. Ma become a fox fairy Is it a fox spirit possessing her" I asked, frowning.
Xi Linzhou smiled triumphantly and replied: "This fox fairy lived in symbiosis with my master when he was young. If there was anything my master couldn't solve, he would call her out and let her possess him, so you can also think of her as my master! Do you know why my master is so powerful Because he has a fox fairy who has been practicing for three hundred years to help him!"
"Mu Xia Qiao, my master was just deliberately teasing you. I once heard her mention the black, gigantic city. It's said to be the blood pool hell of the Underworld! The person you're looking for is probably—"me and said, “Girl, are you feeling alright”I couldn't help but laugh and say, "Elderly woman, shouldn't I be the one asking about your health"She looked me up and down, a wicked smile spreading acros...
