Chapter 70 Li Yuanxi
When Li Yuanying pressed the sealing talisman on the baby's forehead, the baby's face suddenly cracked, and a crack appeared in the middle, just like a peanut shell being peeled, revealing a smaller baby's face from inside, which looked at Li Yuanying with a smile.
Li Yuanying wanted to catch the baby inside, but the baby was as slippery as a loach and quickly slipped out of Li Yuanying's hands.
Li Yuanying took out the arrow in her hand and shot at the running baby, hitting its head. With a puff, its head split open, and countless smaller babies burst out from it, rushing towards Li Yuanying like a tide.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yuanying quickly ran away. She didn't want to be dragged into a new illusion by the baby.
At this moment, Baby Tide stopped, as if it smelled something, and stared blankly at the front left.
"Huh? He's coming!" The baby boomers screamed together, they looked extremely excited.
There was another thud, and a person appeared in the black space.
Li Yuanxi.
Li Yuanxi looked at everything in front of him with a helpless look on his face. When he saw Li Yuanying, he hugged her.
"Sister, I'm scared."
"Yuan Xi, why did you run out?" Li Yuanying thought, Yuan Xi is very timid, why would he wander outside in the middle of the night?
"I heard from others that you were captured by the baby spirit, so I came out to take a look, but I didn't expect..."
Li Yuanying frowned: "Didn't you encounter the black rain when you went out?"
“It’s stopped…”
I see.
Li Yuanying grabbed Li Yuanxi's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Follow me. I'll take you out."
Li Yuanxi nodded.
"Die! Die!"
The infant spirits suddenly went crazy, forming a huge torrent that rushed towards Li Yuanying. Li Yuanxi immediately stood in front of Li Yuanying, took out a black peach doll, and stretched it towards the torrent. The torrent seemed to be afraid of the black peach, and immediately split into two beams to avoid it.
"Bad guy! Bad guy!" the baby cried loudly.
"Yuanxi, what is this black spade doll of yours for?"
"Old Zhang said this can ward off evil spirits... He didn't tell me what the other uses are."
Li Yuanying took the peach wood doll. She knew that drawing talismans on white peach wood would have a better effect than drawing on paper, but she didn't know if the same was true for black peach wood.
"Oh, yes, Master Zhang said that if you encounter evil spirits, you can use blood to draw a spell to deal with them."
Hearing Li Yuanxi say this, Li Yuanying continued to squeeze the wound on her finger, and drew a sealing symbol on the mahogany with blood, and then waited for the opportunity to seal the baby spirit.
Regardless of whether it works or not, she has to get rid of this baby spirit quickly. The longer she delays here, the more her yang energy will be depleted. She doesn't know if it will be affected when she sets up the formation tomorrow.
After the infant spirits landed, they merged into one again and formed a huge baby.
The baby was extremely angry, frowning and roaring, but because Li Yuanying had the black peach in her hand, it did not dare to attack easily.
"Yuanxi, this infant spirit seems to be coming for you."
"Well, I found out, so, sister, I'm so scary."
"If you stay with me all the time, the baby spirit won't come over, because I have the black spade in my hand, do you understand?"
Li Yuanying winked at Li Yuanxi, and Li Yuanxi understood, then his eyes welled up again: "But, sister, I'm really scared."
"I won't let you die."
Li Yuanxi swallowed and held back her tears: "Okay, I believe you, sister."
After saying that, Li Yuanxi gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and ran alone in the opposite direction of the infant spirit.
When the baby spirit saw that Li Yuanxi no longer had the blackwood in his hand, it kicked the ground with its legs and flew straight into the sky towards Li Yuanxi.
When the baby spirit flew over Li Yuanying's head, a stream of strange black air whistled in Li Yuanying's ears.
She turned around and chased after the baby spirit. When the baby spirit was about to fall to the ground, Li Yuanying took advantage of the momentum and jumped high, landing directly on the baby spirit's back from above.
Li Yuanying had long discovered that this infant spirit did not seem to be very smart. It felt that someone had caught its momentum, and did not try to get rid of this person immediately. Instead, it focused only on Li Yuanxi and rushed towards him regardless of anything.
Li Yuanying took advantage of this opportunity and directly inserted the black peach into its back. A strong smell of decay rushed into Li Yuanying's chest, and she choked and coughed.
"Seal!" Li Yuanying called out the word with difficulty.
Before she finished speaking, the black wood began to take effect, but everything was a little different from what Li Yuanying had expected.
Countless black vines stretched out from the black peach tree. In an instant, Li Yuanying had no chance to react before the sharp thorns pierced into her blood vessels. Then, these black vines sucked Li Yuanying's blood like straws, providing nutrients to the black peach tree.
The black peach wood began to seal the infant spirit with Li Yuanying's blood as a sacrifice, emitting a blood-red light.
Li Yuanying had never seen such an evil spell. She wanted to let go but it was too late. Her hands were firmly fixed on the blackwood.
Now she was in great pain all over, her blood and essence were being sucked away continuously, and a biting chill spread from the vine throughout her body.
"Yuanxi—help me quickly—" Li Yuanying looked at Li Yuanxi.
A strange smile appeared on the boy's face that she had never seen before. At that moment, she seemed to see the shadow of another person in Li Yuanxi.
These two people should have nothing to do with each other, but Li Yuanying thought of this person at this moment, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
This person is Prince Fu.
Li Yuanying found this idea very absurd.
"Yuanxi - why don't you come over?" Li Yuanying called again, but Li Yuanxi didn't move.
He looked at her indifferently, and that indifferent expression made Li Yuanying feel that he was no longer himself.
Li Yuanying felt that her consciousness was gradually being eroded. After an unknown amount of time, the infant spirit was sealed, but Li Yuanying was already dying.
The moment the infant spirit was sealed, the darkness faded away and moonlight poured down from the sky, covering Li Yuanying's almost shriveled body.
Her eyes flickered between light and darkness, the world seemed to become very noisy, and a buzzing sound kept echoing in her mind.
A foot stepped on Li Yuanying's hand, but she had lost the sense of pain.
"Li Yuanying, you have come to this day." The boy looked down at her and said this viciously.
"Who are you--" Li Yuanying asked with difficulty.
The boy squatted down, tilted his head, stared at Li Yuanying with his round eyes, and looked at her strangely: "I am your brother, who else can I be?"
"Yuan Xi... is not such a despicable person..." Li Yuanying's breath was already weak.
"It seems you still don't know me well enough, my dear sister." Li Yuanxi sneered and took out the jade pendant from his waist. "Look, I am the real Li Yuanxi."
"Why……"
"Why do you say that?" Li Yuanxi kicked Li Yuanying's hand, which was now only bone and skin, and rubbed it against the ground, drawing a few drops of dried blood. "I've been fed up with you for a long time. You're always so high and mighty, always talking about justice. Do you look down on me?"
Li Yuanying wanted to say that she didn't, but she had no strength left.
"You should have looked down on me since you were a child. But you will eventually die in my hands, right?" After saying this, Li Yuanxi laughed wildly, and the sound was very creepy.
"Have you had enough fun?"
Another man's voice sounded.
Li Yuanying raised her head with difficulty and saw a man wearing a white jade mask - it was Master Fu Yu.
How did Li Yuanxi end up with this guy? Li Yuanying had a thousand doubts, but she didn't have the energy to ask.
"He's not dead. It won't affect you." Li Yuanxi said.
The man snorted coldly: "Lock him up quickly and don't cause any more trouble."
"Yes." Li Yuanxi responded with some dissatisfaction. He picked up Li Yuanying from the ground and walked towards the center of Chang'an City.
*
After Li Yuanying had too much blood drained from her, she fainted. When she woke up, she found herself locked up in an inn and tied up on the bed.
She looked at the inn and it seemed familiar. It seemed to be the inn where the Crown Prince had tried to rape her but failed and was burned by Qi Lang. She noticed that there seemed to be someone sitting across from her bed. Upon closer inspection, it was Li Yuanxi.
"woke up?"
Li Yuanying looked at Li Yuanxi warily. She was very weak now and could not move.
"She's just a little ugly, nothing else." Li Yuanxi reached out and pinched Li Yuanying's face, then sighed.
"What do you want to do?" After Li Yuanying said this, her head began to feel dizzy and she felt really uncomfortable.
"Do you still remember this place?" Li Yuanxi had an evil expression on his face.
Li Yuanying didn't say anything.
"Looks like you want me to remind you, right?" Li Yuanxi gently patted Li Yuanying on the face, "Remember that night, hiss——"
Li Yuanxi made a disgusting sound, then took a deep breath: "You were so close, bitch!"
Li Yuanxi's tone and expression suddenly changed. He slapped Li Yuanying in the face with a crisp sound.
Li Yuanying's ears rang and her vision went dark from the beating, and she nearly fainted again. Fortunately, she was determined and woke up after a few seconds.
A fishy-sweet taste flowed from the corner of her mouth.
What did he mean by "he almost succeeded"? Li Yuanying felt a chill run down her spine.
"Who are you……"
Li Yuanxi laughed even more happily when he heard this: "Didn't I tell you! You don't believe me? Then tell me who I am?"
Li Yuanying didn't want to think so, but the facts told her that this was the only possibility.
"Prince's blessing..."
After hearing this, Li Yuanxi burst into laughter, tears streaming down her face. "Sister, you have such a rich imagination! How is that possible!"
Li Yuanying endured the severe dizziness and stared at the boy in front of her. He was completely different from before.
"Yes, you guessed right." Li Yuanxi suddenly put away his smile.
