The golden talismans fell like rain and the Sanskrit cicadas sang. The light on Xu Xian's body became brighter and brighter, gradually blurring his original form. Even Xiaoqing and Ao Li, who were beside him, looked sideways. They could not look at him directly.
At the same time, Hiderigami's trembling became stronger. Black smoke rose from his body. The faces of many devils were blurred and dissipated with the wind. The scales and horns on his body were also gradually degenerating.
Finally, when Xu Xian uttered the last syllable, Hiderigami's trembling stopped. The light on Xu Xian's body gradually dimmed. He exhaled softly, feeling a little tired.
After all, compared to annihilation, enlightenment was much more difficult. Fortunately, there was some effect.
Xiaoqing and Ao Li let go of him and asked, "Is this enough?"
"I don't know. It should be!"
Xu Xian stroked her chin and sized Hiderigami up. "I've done my best. The rest is up to him. If he can withstand this blow, let go of his past stubbornness, and cast aside today's confusion,
With the immortal body of a zombie, he can roam the world. "
Although zombies were not really immortal, compared to mortals, they were very close to the word.
As he spoke, Hiderigami suddenly opened his eyes. He spread his wings and flew to the northwest. He was as fast as lightning. Xu Xian could not react in time and was about to chase after him.
Xiaoqian pulled out her hairpin and pierced the golden straw doll in her hand. The straw doll struggled and shrank like a living thing. A few drops of blood flowed out from the straw.
Hiderigami fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string. When they rushed over, they saw a hideous wound on Hiderigami's chest. With Hiderigami's body, it should have been able to heal quickly.
However, the wound seemed to be stopped by some force. Not only did it not heal, but it was also gradually expanding.
Xiaoqing and Ao Li looked at Xiaoqian. Although they were all cultivators, such a strange spell still made them nervous.
"Or is it the Voodoo Doll?"
Xu Xian recalled that Xiaoqian had plucked a strand of hair from Hanba's side when they were restraining him.
Xiaoqian said, "The spells of the Maoshan Sect are indeed extensive and profound. I have been diligently practicing this path in the mountains, and as expected, I have learned quite a lot. I was just taking precautions just now. I didn't expect this Drought Demon to really be unable to be enlightened."
Xiaoqing and Ao Li couldn't help but touch their own hair. In the future, they really had to be careful and not let her get it.
Xiaoqian smiled and said, "You don't have to worry." She paused and said, "I already have your hair."
"Give it back!"
Xu Xian squatted down and saw that Hiderigami had completely returned to his human form.
However, Xiaoqian's hairpin had already pierced through Hanba's heart. Ordinary zombies would die upon being pierced by a wooden awl.
Although Hiderigami was not an ordinary zombie, the hairpin that Xiaoqian used was not an ordinary one either. It contained the spirit of the mountains of Mount Huang. With that one stab, Hiderigami seemed to have been pierced through by a mountain. There was no hope for him.
Xiaoqian put her hand on Xu Xian's shoulder and said, "I know you can't bear to do this, but there is no other way. After all, he has been invaded by the demonic thoughts and has lost his consciousness."
Xu Xian sighed and said, "I still failed in the end." He had not been able to enlighten him.
Hiderigami suddenly said in a weak voice, "You … didn't fail. Thank you for helping me regain my consciousness. I don't know what happened to me just now."
Xu Xian and the others were stunned. Someone who had lost his consciousness obviously could not speak like that.
Xiaoqian seemed to have understood something.
"I will think of a way to save you now. Hold on!" Xu Xian quickly pressed his hand on Hiderigami's wound and it emitted a faint golden light.
Hiderigami held Xu Xian's wrist and shook his head gently, "No, no need. Just now … I heard what you said." He opened his eyes and looked at the sky blankly, "Why did the heavens let me come back to life again?" Unknowingly, thick dark clouds had covered the moonlight.
Once Hiderigami's power disappeared, there was no need for Ao Li, the Dragon King to summon clouds and rain. Thick water vapor gathered in the sky impatiently.
Xu Xian did not know how to answer this question. He knew that Hiderigami was seeking death just now.
Although his power could help him defeat the demonic thoughts, he could not overcome himself.
His loved ones were all gone, and he was the only one left to resurrect alone as a zombie.
Hiderigami tilted his head and looked towards the northwest. Before the expedition, his hometown was full of peach blossoms. His parents' worried faces and that person's hope were still vivid in his mind as if it was yesterday.
However, even if he went back now, there would be nothing left. There was no one waiting for him there. He had nothing left.
He opened his palm, the ice cicada was perfect and flawless, even when he lost control of his fury just now, it was not the slightest bit damaged. This was also the same pair of flawless hands that Ceng You had hung on his waist before he left. A psychedelic brilliance flashed past his eyes, and he said to Xu Xian, "Please, bring this thing back, bring it back to my home, my home is there, my home is there …" His voice gradually faded away.
It was like the afterglow of dusk. After the afterglow, it quickly returned to the darkness of night.
Xu Xian held the ice cicada and raised his head. A drop of coldness landed on his face. It was not rainwater, but white snowflakes. The fine flying snowflakes quickly turned into feathery snowflakes. They covered the ground and covered Hiderigami's body.
After a long silence, Xu Xian stood up and shook off the snowflakes on his shoulders. He turned around and said, "Let's go back!"
The next day, before the sky had even brightened, the light of the snow illuminated the window.
Outside the main door, the snow was still falling. It was frighteningly heavy, as if it wanted to completely vent the suppressed feelings of the past few months.
The snow was a few feet thick, but it still did not look like it was going to stop. The world was pure white. It was so quiet that only the sound of the falling snow could be heard.
A clear laughter suddenly broke the silence. Ao Li was playing with Yu Lei on the snowy ground, "Hahaha, it's finally snowing. Let's see who still dares to look down on me."
Xiaoqing, who was supposed to make a sarcastic remark at this moment, was wrapped in the blanket and shrunk her head, "Quickly close the window."
Xu Xian laughed, "Are you afraid of the cold?"
"Although my body does not feel cold, my heart feels very cold. Then, my body feels very cold too.
You don't know how difficult it is to find food in winter. If I don't sleep, I don't know how I can survive.
If you didn't wake me up, I would have slept in the mountains until spring. "Xiaoqing was in a daze and her words were somewhat incoherent.
Xu Xian guessed that this was probably the aftereffect of being a little snake. Although she didn't like the hot summer, especially the Double Ninth Festival, she also seemed to hate winter. Suddenly, she smiled lewdly and said: "Let your husband give you some warmth!"
He put his hand into the brocade blanket. Inside was Xiaoqing's smooth and delicate body that was not wearing any clothes. It was indeed very cold and not like that of an ordinary person.
"What … your husband …" Xiaoqing murmured. In such a season, it seemed that even her verbal resistance was a lot weaker.
The sound of the window opening sounded like a snowball hitting the window. Ao Li said, "Xu Xian, come out and play!"
Naturally, Xu Xian did not care. At this time, who would want to play in the snow with a little girl? He continued to explore.
With a loud "boom", a snowball that was bigger than a person smashed the entire window with astonishing strength and speed. It also smashed through the opposite wall. The whistling north wind carried a large amount of snow through the hall.
"Come, play!"
