The journey is still so far, so the Taoist priest cannot hold Bai Xiaoyu's hand all the time. After a little fight, they gave up, but Bai Xiaoyu was obviously not as careless as before, and still had a little more to hide.
Xu Huaigu and Li Zi were both very happy. Being able to watch a wonderful drama brought fun to the boring traveling life. Why not?
Scholar Wang Haocheng lost all interest after being tormented like this. He immersed himself in asceticism along the way and didn't talk to anyone. He was pitiful.
The Taoist priest was still walking in the front alone, as if nothing had happened just now. Bai Xiaoyu felt uneasy when she saw his calm and calm appearance.
Judging from his skillful skills, he must have kidnapped countless girls. He looked as if nothing had happened, but he was quite good at pretending. But for some reason, he couldn't dislike him, and he even seemed to be a little happy?
Night was about to fall, and a group of people found a grassland beside a stream as a camp, lit a fire, and sat around the fire. Bai Xiaoyu was still unhappy about what happened during the day, and deliberately sat far away from the Taoist priest, next to Xu Huaigu and Li Zi.
The Taoist priest didn't care and asked Wang Haocheng with a smile: "When will Brother Wang take part in the imperial examination? Miss Bai and I will definitely go to support you."
Okay, this guy is showing off.
Wang Haocheng also lost his temper and said angrily: "I don't know when to participate. When the time comes, Taoist priest and Miss Bai can just leave on their own without waiting for me."
Bai Xiaoyu also stabbed: "I haven't agreed to go yet."
Her words were originally meant for the Taoist priest, to let him know that she was not that close to him yet, but it changed in Wang Haocheng's ears. He was jealous and angry, and said to Bai Xiaoyu: "I have treated Miss Bai politely along the way, right? The girl really hates me so much!"
Bai Xiaoyu also realized that this sentence was inappropriate, but couldn't save the face to apologize, so she could only stammer and defend: "I...I didn't mean that."
The scholar's anger had not subsided, but everyone heard the faint sound of the piano coming from the distance, like resentment, admiration, and weeping, which seemed to clear away the sad thoughts in their hearts.
The sound of the piano was so beautiful that everyone stopped arguing and listened carefully. Then there was a song, singing: "You are like the bright moon and I am like the fog. The fog disappears with the moon and leaves dew in the sky. You are good at playing the piano and I am good at dancing. At the end of the song, people feel separated and blocked. I just feel that you look back and make me miss you." In the evening, my soul will go with you and I will never regret it. I miss you endlessly and suffer for you. Who can complain about the pain of lovesickness? I don’t know where you are in the distance."
When the song ended, everyone was drunk.
Bai Xiaoyu knew that this was her sister's singing. Even if she was mentally prepared, she was still deeply moved by this tragic lovesickness. Xu Huaigu and Li Zi only heard the beautiful singing voice but did not understand the meaning of the lyrics. However, Wang Haocheng burst into tears for some reason and couldn't help himself.
He looked towards the direction where the singing was coming from, and suddenly memories flashed into his mind.
He seemed to see a figure in red dancing high in the pavilion, surrounded by a sea of people, all shouting the name of the girl in red... What was her name? He couldn't hear clearly. He is just a lonely ordinary person in the crowd, quietly looking at the figure out of reach amidst the crazy shouts of others.
Another scene, he was in a lobby, wearing bright red festive clothes, and there was a woman in red clothes and hijab beside him beside him. There were many figures around looking at them and making comments. There was an old woman sitting on the seat in front, angrily smashing a cup on the ground and reprimanding something loudly, but he could only see the cup shattering into dregs on the ground, but he could not hear what the old woman was saying.
The scene before him changed again, and he saw himself in a body of water, sinking slowly. He was waving his limbs desperately and opening and closing his mouth. Water choked his throat and lungs, causing burning pain. He tried to shout in terror, but in vain. The bubbles gradually rose, but his body sank. His consciousness gradually faded away, and he had a terrible headache. He couldn't remember anything.
Wang Haocheng opened his eyes suddenly and took a deep breath of air to recover from the depressing atmosphere. There was darkness all around, and the music and singing were like a dream, coming from nowhere and leaving without a trace.
Everyone looked at Wang Haocheng, wondering what happened to him. He didn't know why he suddenly had strange hallucinations, but the hallucinations were very real, as if they were really happening to him.
Wang Haocheng covered his chest, a little confused, and defended: "I don't know what happened. I seemed to have seen some strange scenes just now."
The Taoist priest said with concern: "It doesn't matter. It should be that the sound of the piano is too moving and touches your heartstrings, which is why you have hallucinations."
Wang Haocheng nodded, and Bai Xiaoyu looked at him with complicated eyes.
Wang Haocheng immediately thought of something important. He panicked and asked, "But where does the sound of the piano come from in this wild place? Is it a wild ghost?"
The Taoist priest smiled and consoled him: "I still have some skills. Although my Taoism is not high, it is more than enough to deal with some incompetent wild ghosts."
Bai Xiaoyu thought of the funny thing and said, "The young master saw me that day and mistakenly thought I was a ghost. He was so scared that he couldn't get up from the ground."
Wang Haocheng also laughed and said, "Is this really true?"
The Taoist priest was a little embarrassed. He winked at Bai Xiaoyu and said, "That's different. Last time, I accidentally slipped and fell, and I happened to meet Miss Bai, which led to this misunderstanding. This time I will definitely use my true skills. .”
The Taoist priest took out a small knife and said gently to Xu Huaigu: "Xu Huaigu, you see that you have been eating me for so long. Shouldn't you do something?"
When Xu Huaigu saw the shining knife, he was so frightened that he shrank behind Bai Xiaoyu and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Take your blood, otherwise why would I do it? Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Xu Huaigu didn't believe him and said, "Then why don't you take other people's blood, but you want mine?"
"Because this spell requires the blood of a young boy. Who else could I ask for if not you?"
Xu Huaigu closed his eyes in fear, trembling and said, "Then be gentler."
The Taoist priest came up, grabbed his hand, and lightly scratched his hand with a knife. The wound on his hand was still invisible, but blood flowed out. The Taoist priest took his blood, dotted it around everyone, and formed a Bagua shape. Then he took out a small golden tower and placed it in the middle of the formation. A simple ghost-avoiding formation was ready.
Bai Xiaoyu could feel that this magic circle was indeed useful. Even her own demonic energy was somewhat suppressed, and it was impossible for ghosts to enter.
The Taoist priest arranged everything and said with a smile: "Everyone can sleep peacefully. This is my ghost avoidance array. Some little ghosts can't get in."
Bai Xiaoyu pretended to admire him and said with a sweet smile: "Young Master is really awesome."
Wang Haocheng turned his face to the side jealously, sighed, and lay down to sleep. He was very depressed. Although he didn't know these spells, he had read books anyway, but Miss Bai seemed to like that Taoist priest and ignored him, and even almost had a quarrel.
Wait, why did I quarrel with Miss Bai? He thought of what the Taoist said - "Miss Bai and I will definitely go there to support you."
He pondered carefully, could it be that this Taoist priest was deliberately trying to sow discord between him and Bai Xiaoyu? When he thought of this, he couldn't hold it in anymore, gritted his teeth, and almost cursed. But he is not reckless. He knows that if he says this, no one will believe it. Instead, they will think that he is jealous. Then he will be isolated and will not hurt the Taoist priest at all.
What a scheming Taoist priest! The city is very deep, and it looks like a smile on the face, but in fact there is a knife hidden in the smile!
Wang Haocheng hated this Taoist priest now. I was just a little jealous before, but now I am angry. I know clearly that I want to pursue Miss Bai, but I show off my relationship with Miss Bai in front of myself and sow discord. It is really too much!
Wang Haocheng was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He was just thinking about how to deal with him. Unfortunately, he couldn't think of a good way after thinking for a long time.
The night is getting darker and darker, and thick black covers everything. He frowned anxiously, but he seemed to hear footsteps. Thinking of the unknown piano sound he heard at dusk, he suddenly became frightened.
He cursed the Taoist priest's broken magic circle in his heart, but he did not dare to move.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and he only dared to open his eyes slightly, only to see a wisp of white clothes walking towards him...
