Chapter 144
Chapter 144
If you only look at Zhong Xian's performance, you may not notice much unusual. Whenever Yu Xi talks to Zhong Xian, Zhong Xian will smile as if nothing happened.
But if you listen to his inner voice, you can feel the inexplicable and unsettling anxiety in his heart.
This is too dangerous.
If Zhong Xian bears the pressure herself, once the ghost energy gets out of control and the enemy seizes the opportunity, the scene in her dream may reappear.
Yu Xi's fingers twisted in his palms for several times, and finally he raised his head, his eyes filled with determination and courage:
"Brother, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. Although I'm still young and may not be able to help you right now, I can help share the pressure with you. You don't have to carry everything by yourself."
At this point, she tightened her grip on Zhong Xian's collar, her words revealing her worry:
"If I don't know anything, I can only watch you suffer, which will only make me more worried... Brother, can you tell me what that ghost led you to think of?"
She was certain that Zhong Xian and the person who made the ghost guide must have some connection.
Zhong Xian's emotions became unstable just by seeing the talisman paper. The other party must be someone who can have a huge impact on Zhong Xian.
If she wanted to protect the bell strings, she couldn't be ignorant of this unstable factor.
Since Zhong Xian didn't tell her, she would ask herself.
Zhong Xian didn't expect that even though he acted so indifferent, Yu Xi still noticed something was wrong.
Is his ability to disguise emotions so poor now?
No, it’s Xiao Xier who is too sensitive.
Xiao Xier can always notice the changes in his mood. This kind of care does not need words. It's like she can see through him just by looking at him.
Luo Chunxi once asked him to pay attention to Xiao Xier's mood and told him that taking good care of someone is not just about keeping the other person from getting hurt.
Therefore, he began to pay attention to Xiao Xier's emotions. Now he himself became the one being paid attention to, and this feeling was not bad at all.
Perhaps it was because he had experienced too much, he had never experienced this kind of sore feeling as if his chest was filled with something, even in his once smooth past.
"Xiao Xi'er, Xiao Xi'er."
He half-lowered his eyebrows, with a gentle arc at the corners of his eyes.
This time he didn't kiss Yu Xi, but just hugged her and called her name, and he felt very satisfied.
It was really a rare blessing from God that he met Xiao Xier when he wanted to die the most.
Now he doesn't even dare to die, and just wants to live forever with Xiao Xier more greedily.
"You said before that you dreamed that someone used a ghost array against me, right?"
Hearing that Zhong Xian was willing to tell him, Yu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.
Zhong Xian twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "In fact, there are many people in this world who can create ghost arrays, but there are only a few who know that this array has an effect on me... No, there shouldn't be any, because those who knew would have been killed by me a long time ago.
"So when I heard you, Xiao Xi'er, mention the Resentful Ghost Formation, I just thought it was a coincidence that the Immortal Sect chose it to deal with me... But now the Ghost Lure has appeared."
Zhong Xian looked ahead, avoiding a ferocious beast lost in its illusion and going mad. "To create a ghost guide, besides the souls of the wronged, we also need the flesh and blood of mermaids. However, in the eyes of the world, mermaids were extinct thousands of years ago."
Yu Xi also knew about the extinction of the mermaids. It was said that a great war took place between the immortals and the demons a thousand years ago. Not only did many people from the immortals die in that battle, but some monsters were also wiped out by the demons in their destructive power.
She couldn't help but wonder: "How was that ghost guide made?"
"In fact, there are still a few mermaids alive."
Zhong Xian's voice was very calm: "When I was Qiu... When I was still human, I had a few merman friends. They were the last mermen, but they were targeted and abducted by several small sects under the Yaotian Sect at that time. When I went to look for them, they were all dead.
"I slaughtered all those small sects and found the Yaotian Sect. I killed all the bastards who might have been involved in this incident. I wanted to slaughter the Yaotian Sect as well, but I was not strong enough at the time. In the end, I was seriously injured by the powerful Yaotian Sect and was picked up by my master."
Yu Xi pondered and said, "Brother, what you mean is that the appearance of the ghost means that the mermaid is still alive?"
"I'm certain there are no mermaids alive now. The only ghost lures we can make now are the flesh and blood of the mermaids of the past, and the only ones who possess them are those who captured them in the past."
Zhong Xian said, "They knew what happened to me and knew how to deal with me. That's why I felt uncomfortable after seeing the ghost. But there was no way I could leave anyone alive at that time..."
Could it be that he has come back to life again?
If a few more people come back to life, he will be left with psychological trauma.
Zhong Xian was very depressed.
Yu Xi couldn't stop what had already happened. She could only lie on Zhong Xian's shoulder, thinking about how to protect him from being hurt. "If they use the ghost trick, how will they deal with you, brother?"
"It's nothing more than those ghost formations... But I don't understand, what does the Immortal Sect want from me? Are they spending so much energy just to make me lose control and die?"
If you really want him dead, why not just surround and attack him? He is not Su Xianyun who has not left the house for hundreds of years. You can't find him even if you want to surround and attack him.
Zhong Xian couldn't guess what the Immortal Sect was going to do for a moment.
Yu Xi could read minds, so he thought more: "The Immortal Sect may only want your life, brother, but is there any other organization doing something shameful in secret?"
She is now also wondering which side the sect leader hiding behind everyone belongs to.
Other organizations?
Zhong Xian raised his eyebrows:
"It's not impossible, but if it really exists, it's hidden too well. I haven't heard any news about it."
There were too few clues, and there was no point in dwelling on it now. Yu Xi was more concerned about whether Zhong Xian would be injured.
"Then my brother destroyed the ghost guide. No matter what formation they use, they won't be able to hurt you, right?"
"Well, it won't happen again, Xiao Xier, don't worry. This time it's all thanks to Xiao Xier who got the ghost guide in advance."
Zhong Xian and Yu Xi chatted for a few minutes, and all the pressure and anxiety were swept away, and the ghost energy became much more stable.
This is all thanks to Xiao Xier. He really loves Xiao Xier the most!
Yu Xi knew that they were now in the open, and the hidden arrows were the easiest to hurt people. Now that there was one hidden danger in the dark, she was in a very good mood and kissed Zhong Xian on the face.
Jizhi had been watching the two of them silently, a rare moment of silence, with his head drooping like a big dog whose bone had been taken away.
