It was late at night, and the village at the foot of Yujingmen Mountain was quiet.
Jiang Xuehe is studying how to calculate preference——
He entered the tent, held Tiying in his arms across the quilt, and patted her back with his hands to coax her to sleep more peacefully.
Although he didn't understand what she was talking about, he asked softly: "Does this count?"
Tiying, who was sleeping, naturally couldn't answer him.
She clutched his arm while convulsing, pinching her nails tightly. Jiang Xuehe was afraid that her hands would be hurt by the clothes, so he slowly opened the sleeves of his robes so that her hands could touch her skin.
Under the candlelight, the skin of Jiang Xuehe's arms was also scarred and bound by spells. But fortunately, Tiying was asleep and couldn't see it, so she wouldn't be frightened.
In the nightmare, Tiying just wanted to find a driftwood. Although the driftwood she was holding had her sleeves rolled up, it didn't push her away, so she trembled slightly. Just in a daze, he leaned against Jiang Xuehe.
This is unreasonable.
There is no reason for young men and women of their age to sleep on the same bed, no matter how close they are to each other as brothers and sisters.
But Jiang Xuehe looked down and saw Tiying frowning, her face pale, and her eyes stained with tears.
He tried to wake Tiying up: "Junior sister?"
Maybe he called her too softly, or maybe she fell into a deep sleep. He pushed her several times, but she couldn't wake up.
And if he screams harshly, with the temper of the little junior sister, I'm afraid she won't be happy when she wakes up.
Jiang Xuehe fell into deep thought: Without his junior sister's permission, it would be difficult for him to enter her sea of consciousness and see what went wrong with her. But he could probably guess the reason for Tiying's nightmare.
Tiying didn't know what spell was used on herself before. After the spell backfired, blood flowed from her waist and abdomen and she was seriously injured. But before the backlash, she still showed off her strength and killed Su Yu.
According to Jiang Xuehe's understanding of his junior sister in the past few days, none of her cultivation, magic and spiritual power are good. The only good talent she had was that she refused to practice because she was afraid of ghosts.
She is a talisman cultivator, and she has a strong affinity for ghosts. Once her spiritual power is exhausted, she will inevitably be invaded by nightmares caused by the thoughts of heaven and earth.
If you want to help her, the easiest way is to send her spiritual power.
Jiang Xuehe's own spiritual power, not to mention inexhaustible, is also very difficult to use up.
So, Jiang Xuehe held Tiying in his arms, pointed a finger at her forehead, and tried to transmit spiritual power to her.
After a try, she found that her spiritual power was severely exhausted... His spiritual power was about to come out, and she leaned upward to inhale it hungrily. The majestic spiritual power is like a mud cow entering the sea, and no trace can be found for a moment.
Jiang Xuehe was surprised: Junior Sister's spiritual power was weaker than he thought.
Does this kind of ability... also need to be practiced?
I'm afraid I'm going to have to suffer a lot.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in his arms, feeling a little worried about Tiying's future.
But there was no use worrying him.
After the spiritual power was transferred, Tiying's frown slowly relaxed, and there was blood on her cheeks.
She turned over and buried her face in his arms. She was such an ignorant child, she put her arms around his waist, and rubbed it in confusion because of the different feeling from her former master.
She pushed him: "I don't want you..."
Jiang Xuehe had a good temper: "Then who do you want?"
Tiying, who was confused in her sleep, couldn't explain clearly, so she twitched and closed her mouth.
The frost and dew are thick, and the candlelight shines on the tent like flowing water.
The soft messy hair floated like algae around the young man's waist and fell on the young man's black clothes.
Jiang Xuehe remained motionless.
Tiying adjusted her sleeping position and sighed comfortably.
Jiang Xuehe's hand on her forehead froze due to her movements. He thought for a moment, then changed the angle of his fingers, gently touched her forehead from the side, and continued to deliver spiritual power to her.
The little baby is so good.
No more crying, no more screaming. Slept very sweetly.
Does Master usually face such a well-behaved baby?
But what if I am a villain and my junior sister trusts others so easily and is bullied? Did the master teach the little junior sister nothing?
Jiang Xuehe had some criticisms towards his master, who was rarely masked.
But then he thought about it: She followed her master before, and now she is following him. In the future, she will be taken away by her second senior brother, and maybe she will enter the Yujing Sect and get the protection of such a sect... There is no need for him to worry too much about his junior sister.
However, what should I do with my junior sister now?
Why didn't the second junior brother come to pick her up for so long? When can I leave?
During the few days he spent with his junior sister, there were many mysteries surrounding him, which seemed to have caused his confusion. When she wakes up, he will have to explain.
But compared to those things, what Jiang Xuehe thought about the most was one thing——
After death, the filthy breath returns to heaven and earth, and the resentment is dissipated. Because of Jiang Xuehe's great merit, the power of the spell that suppressed him was a little weaker.
In other words, the talisman's restraint on him was reduced by one layer, and he could restore something...
Should he restore his voice first, or his face, or remove the injuries on his hands first?
Jiang Xuehe thought of the curious look in the girl's eyes after the corner of the hood was lifted.
Then let’s restore part of the face first.
--
I'm used to walking alone.
It's interesting to suddenly have a little junior sister to take care of.
--
Tiying had a long and full sleep.
She was trapped in the old dream she had when she was ten years old. She was scared to death and crying to death. Suddenly, there was a heavy snowfall.
The snow buried the village in the dream.
Under the dim yellow sky, the Cangshan Mountain is vast and silent, the crows fly away with their wings spinning, and Tiying is alone in the cold night, looking up at the flying snow.
She doesn't feel the snow is cold.
She likes snow.
The soft, gentle snow kept falling in her dream, and she also had a good sleep in her dream. So when she woke up, Tiying felt that her spiritual power was extremely abundant, which made her extremely pleasantly surprised.
Hey, has your cultivation level improved?
Tiying rolled over and sat up from the bed and quickly entered her sea of consciousness to check. Then she was disappointed, bulging her cheeks, and sat alone in the tent sulking: She knew that it would be difficult for her to improve her poor cultivation. .
Tiying was angry for a while, and suddenly she heard the sound of something rustling outside the tent.
Tiying blinked, opened a corner of the tent, and poked her head out - the screen that separated the inside from the outside was very light. Tiying, who was lying on the bed, caught a glimpse of the tall shadow covered by the hood.
The shadow was sitting at a table, whether writing or reading. It was quiet and picturesque.
For a moment, Tiying was stunned.
When people wake up, they will quickly forget their nightmares. What people remember most about nightmares is probably the moment after they open their eyes.
And just a moment after Tiying woke up, she saw Jiang Xuehe's shadow through the screen——
Fragments of the dream came over her.
At one time, it was the witch Tiying in the cave, and the trapped immortal brother; at the other time, it was the great formation in the second dream, the snow flying between the sky and the earth...
Tiying thought dully: She seemed to be dreaming about her senior brother...
It seems...she also dreamed about her senior brother when she went to the Five Poison Forest and lost control of her spiritual power for the first time.
What's going on?
When she recalled it at this time, the scene in the dream was not as profound as she remembered it at first, and it began to become blurry.
Tiying frowned and began to get angry about the "Great Dream Curse".
She knew there was something wrong with this technique.
One makes her be chased, another makes her have nightmares, and the other makes cheap senior brother appear in her dreams. Really, why should she dream about him?
What's more, it's just a dream... She only vaguely remembers demons and immortals, and the strange relationship between brothers and sisters... But there are no demons in this world.
snort!
What was more serious than this was that Tiying trembled. She clearly remembered her second dream.
Yes, the first dream started after she met Senior Brother Jianyi; the second dream was something she often had after practicing. She often dreamed about things before she was ten years old.
When Tiying was ten years old, she experienced a formation that she would never forget, "The Curse of the Tattooed Person Destroyed in All Directions."
She's lucky.
That formation when I was ten years old was not successful. The former master traveled to that village, rescued her, and led her to practice from then on.
She had forgotten about that village for a long time.
Now that Tiying thought about it, she couldn't help but stare closely at the figure of the hooded boy behind the screen - the tattoo curse would be eradicated in all directions!
A forbidden curse that carries the sins of thousands of ghosts.
Tiying immediately knew why she always felt that the charm on Jiang Xuehe was familiar.
His body is like a rotten wood, his voice is hoarse, his body is covered with bruises, his hands are like an old man's, and he obviously has soul but cannot use it at ordinary times;
He killed Xuan Yu and that night, after lifting the hood, the power of the talisman glowing with black energy was vaguely visible all over his body.
All of them showed that Jiang Xuehe had the "curse to destroy tattooed people in all directions".
If Tiying himself has not seen the most terrifying power of the Tattoo Curse, then Senior Brother Baian must be suffering from this curse.
But didn’t the former master say that once the curse is completed, you will be crazy even if you don’t die? How is it that Brother Cheap is still alive and well and looks normal?
No, she couldn't think like that.
My former master said that people who are bound by tattoos and curses walk on the boundary between life and death, and will fall into bad situations if they are not careful.
It seems pitiful, but the person who can provoke this kind of curse must have committed too many sins to attract ghosts to join him.
Ti Ying herself was able to successfully cast this spell because of the wishes of an entire village, so many people wanted her to die. If it were placed on Senior Brother Bao Yi, wouldn't it mean that countless people hated him, complained about him, and wanted him to die? ?
Tiying shuddered.
He's not really the big bad guy, is he?
Gotta escape.
--
Tiying is a ruthless little villain.
She discovered that her senior brother had a tattoo curse on him, but she didn't want to know the truth or listen to the story. She just wants to be far away from the tattoo curse, far away from the nightmares of her past, and far away from the suspected bad guys.
Tiying lay beside the tent and called out slightly: "Kind senior brother?"
People outside didn't respond.
The little girl got up from the bed.
She touched her arms. Well, the small magical instruments and talismans were all there, and the small toys given to her by her former master were all in good condition. She could protect herself.
Now she should secretly go to Yujing Sect and tell them that she killed Su Yu and can join the sect.
If she meets her senior brother again at Yujingmen in the future... she is not afraid! She also had a back-and-forth fight with her senior brother!
After Tiying thought about her plan clearly, she walked through the screen quietly and walked towards the door.
Everything is going well, but my injured lower abdomen still hurts...
A hoarse voice sounded from behind, as if someone had been chosen by a demon: "Where are you going, junior sister?"
Why should Tiying pay attention to him: "Humph!"
Jiang Xuehe was humiliated by her again.
He was silent for a moment and settled for the next best thing: "Senior brother, I will accompany you."
Ti Ying spoke sharply: "Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Tiying threw the talisman in her arms behind her in an attempt to stop Jiang Xuehe.
Jiang Xuehe smiled: Well, you hugged me last night, but today you are going to beat me.
And asked me who I was.
He said: "Why don't you look back at me?"
To coax the little girl - doesn't she want to see his face?
Although I don’t know what the junior sister is making, it’s always right to coax her first.
