Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 297
[Chapter 297 Black Widow (XIX)]
After knowing the sacrifice of the mussel spirit, Hei Xiaozi gave up the idea of continuing to indulge, and took the mussel spirit back to the deep mountains, hoping that the mussel spirit could be recuperated in the practice. It’s just that the pain caused by the movement made Hei Xiaozi feel very distressed. In order to comfort Hei Xiaozi, He Bengjing smiled and said, “What are you worried about? I won’t die, but there is something in my body that makes me uncomfortable. Forget it, this might be a good thing.”
“How could it be a good thing?!” Hei Xiaozi was very annoyed at herself, she was annoyed that she didn’t dodge Futian’s bullet in time, and wanted the mussel spirit to save her life.
The mussel spirit took Hei Xiaozi’s hand and asked with a smile, “You forgot what I am?”
“…” Hei Xiaozi really forgot, the mussel spirit is of course a mussel, and very few people eat rivers Clams are known because river mussels can produce pearls, and the formation of pearls is that foreign objects fall into the mussels, which make the mussels feel uncomfortable and secrete body fluids to wrap them. The difference is that ordinary pearls are just grains of sand that entered the body of the mussel, but this time it was a bullet, because it was not naturally incorporated, but passed through the body, so when the mussel essence secreted body fluids, it also There was blood.
Hearing this, Xuehu’s hand trembled and asked softly, “Could it be that the one you gave to Mr….”
“Well, it is.” Hei Xiaozi’s answer confirmed Xuehu’s conjecture that the pink The pearl is the essence of the river mussel spent a hundred years to cultivate and transform, and there is only one in the world.
For a hundred years, Hei Xiaozi and the mussel spirit did not leave the mountain until the day when the mussel spirit practiced to the point where he could secrete that pearl. Heixiaozi will always remember that day, because the mussel spirit almost died on that day. The whole secretion process was very painful, forcing the mussel to show its original shape. A huge mussel was lying in the cave, and the secretion process continued. After a day and a night, in order to prevent the mussels from becoming thirsty, Heixiaozi kept bringing water from the stream back to pour water on the mussels. Finally, after Hei Xiaozi returned from the 187th water delivery, he saw that the mussel had opened its shell, and there was a round and shiny pink pearl in the mussel’s body. shocked.
At this time, she heard a faint cry from the mussel spirit: “Xiaozi, quickly retrieve the pearls for me!”
“Oh.” Hei Xiaozi heard it, and hurriedly reached for it.
At this moment, a person suddenly broke in from outside the cave, took advantage of Hei Xiaozi’s unpreparedness, and snatched the pearl. He moved so fast that Hei Xiaozi didn’t even react. When he did, the person had already run away. Knowing that the pearl was robbed, the mussel spirit let out a sad cry. Hei Xiaozi’s consolation was useless. After asking too much, Hei Xiaozi realized that the mussel spirit was not paying attention when it was secreting, and poured all the mana into it. On top of the pearl, if there is no pearl, her practice will be abolished, and she will never change back, she can only be a mussel that is slaughtered by others.
Hei Xiaozi knew that the matter was serious, and assured: “You can rest assured, no matter the ends of the earth, I will definitely find that pearl for you.”
“Xiaozi, don’t waste your time, the person who came to grab it just now must be a monster, and he is full of monsters. The breath of a demon, come to grab the pearl, must be interested in the mana on the pearl, wait for you to find it, I’m afraid it will be too late.” The voice of the mussel spirit is already very weak, and it seems that she knows that there is not much mana on her, and then wait. Going down, you can only be a mussel who can’t even speak.
Without any hesitation, Hei Xiaozi quickly picked up the mussels and ran to the stream, found a place with the deepest water, and put the mussels in.
“You can cultivate here in peace and wait for me to come back.” After speaking, Hei Xiaozi used a magic method to set up a defense around the water, so that other animals and people could not see the mussel spirit, so as to prevent her from being caught. Destiny taken away.
After doing this, Hei Xiaozi chased out the demon’s breath, and kept chasing out of the mountains until he came to the world.
The world has been vicissitudes for a hundred years, and changes are not fast. This world is not the world that Hei Xiaozi saw when he entered the mountains. The expensive cars in the city are running everywhere, and they have entered modern technology. Covered up so well that it’s hard for anyone to notice. Hei Xiaozi searched everywhere for three days and three nights, but couldn’t trace the whereabouts of the monster, so he made a plan to stay in the world for a long time, and lived in the world as a fashionable woman. Hei Xiaozi doesn’t need to worry about money, she just needs to use the means. How many men donate money and live in this world can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing. But this kind of life is not what she wants. What she wants is to find the demon who stole the pearl as soon as possible, so she is confused about where she goes, and places such as bars are the occasions she must enter. After a period of time, there was no sign of the demon, but there were quite a few stinky men circling in front of her eyes. Occasionally, she would be tempted to eat two if she couldn’t control it.
One day, as usual, she got into a bar for sensual drinkers. The lights in the bar were dim, men and women twisted like demons, and when Hei Xiaozi lamented the chaos in the world, suddenly, a man entered her line of sight. The familiar silhouette, the profile, the eyes, and the smile were exactly the same as Hu Xiaoyao hundreds of years ago. Seeing Hei Xiaozi’s heart pounding, the man actually walked towards her.
“Miss, are you alone?”
“Yeah.” Hei Xiaozi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The man smiled beautifully. After sitting next to Hei Xiaozi, he pretended to ask, “Do you mind?”
Hei Xiaozi shook his head and smiled. For a while, she couldn’t tell whether the man in front of her was from Hu Xiaoyao. The same person, if she hadn’t already recognized the mortal aura on this man, she would have thought that Hu Xiaoyao had come back to life again. It’s a pity that this man is an ordinary mortal. Hei Xiaozi kept reminding himself, but this man seemed to be interested in her, he didn’t speak, and he refused to leave.
Think about it, hundreds of years have passed, and Hei Xiaozi is no longer the Hei Xiaozi she used to be. She will control a lot of things like feelings. In order not to let herself be addicted, she left her seat and walked out of the bar.
Unexpectedly, the man followed her, and after chasing her, he asked with a smile, “Go home alone?”
“Well.” Hei Xiaozi couldn’t resist facing this man who looked exactly like Hu Xiaoyao.
The man suddenly changed a flower from his hand and handed it to Hei Xiaozi: “Give it to you.”
It was a fiery red rose, delicate and dazzling, Hei Xiaozi didn’t know what trick the man had done. Only some can’t help it, and took the rose with his hand. When the man saw Hei Xiaozi taking the red rose, he suddenly smiled wickedly and said, “You have now accepted my flowers, so can you accompany me for a late night snack?”
“Okay.” Hei Xiaozi smiled slightly nodded.
The man didn’t seem to be very rich, so he walked a long way with Hei Xiaozi before he came to a food stall. The business of the food stall was very prosperous at night. After occupying the seat, the man skillfully ordered the dishes, and then Looking at Hei Xiaozi, he asked, “Are you satisfied with what I ordered?”
