Chapter 131 The handsome man left a fragrance
Deep in the desert stands a majestic ancient city, with traces of the old and the new intertwined. Although there are pedestrians walking around the city, it still looks empty. Dry vines cling to the cracks in the city wall, without a single trace of green, as if it has merged with the ancient city wall that is full of traces of time.
The composition of the people stationed here is somewhat complicated. They are all men of the desert king Zhamuhe. Now that Zhamuhe is dead, they are the men of Black Pearl.
The reason why the composition is complicated is that those who patrol the inner city are Black Pearl's confidants, while those who patrol the outer city are just some marginal people.
They would be replaced every once in a while, without any time rules or warnings, and they would be suddenly swapped, and both sides would be assigned to do some unspeakable secrets.
This was strange, just as strange as the new owner bringing them here so suddenly.
But no one raised any questioning voice. Their former young master, now their master, had become very strange and moody. His expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and he would say things from time to time that no one could understand.
The elders around the master didn't say anything, and the people below were even less likely to say anything.
After all, Black Pearl's sudden change in moodiness and weirdness did not shake their interests, so her change was regarded as the quirk of the superior.
Only Black Pearl herself knows how difficult and disgusting her life has been during this period.
There was a person in her body for no reason!
An ignorant, arrogant and despicable man!
He even tried to take her body!
I don't know where he got the confidence and support from, he actually dared to tell her what to do from a high position, and even spoke nonsense and slandered her father!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Black Pearl wished she could cut herself open, grab this damned ghost out and tear it into pieces!
She also sought help from the tribal shamans, but it was of no use, not a single one.
And that damn bastard was still laughing at her in her body, saying that feudal superstition was no match for him, a time traveler from some century. He also told her unscrupulously that it would be better for her to give her body to him as soon as possible to avoid suffering in the future.
Black Pearl angrily overturned everything in the room. She chopped the wooden table with a knife. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light, and her murderous aura was so strong that it was frightening: "Shut up! Damn wild dog, I will definitely beat you into hell! You can be proud now, but there will be a time when you will beg for mercy!"
The tribal shamans can’t do it, but what about the monks and Taoists in the Central Plains?
Laojun Mountain and Shaolin Temple, which one is not a grand temple that has been passed down for thousands of years? How dare a mere wandering ghost act so presumptuously!
The man who was laughing so disgustingly inside her body finally shut up.
Only at this moment did he realize the horror of Black Pearl.
This beautiful woman is not just a pretty vase, or a fragile dodder that needs to cling to men to survive. She is a terrifying hunter in the desert with fangs so sharp that even the Stone Guanyin has to think twice before attacking her.
What? How dare you threaten her!
Black Pearl's ruthlessness and sharpness were not concealed at all. Zheng Mo, a time traveler from the 21st century, finally became afraid. When he learned that this world was a world in a book, his arrogance also cracked at this moment.
So what if it’s a book world? So what if I know the plot?
The characters in the book are no longer characters?
Even if you are a newbie and think you have a God's perspective and know the plot, you will still die!
Zheng Mo didn't want to die. He had already died once due to an unexpected disaster. According to the routine of time travel, he was in Black Pearl's body, and Black Pearl's body should be his! He didn't even mind that this body was a woman's, so why did Black Pearl want to kill him!
But Black Pearl was so scary. He didn't know why, but he could only live in her body like a parasite. In order to survive, Zheng Mo remained silent.
Black Pearl knew that he was scared. This lonely ghost was indeed a coward who only bullied the weak and feared the strong.
She is not one to sit back and wait for death, she always does what she says.
Her father had just passed away, and the tribe couldn't leave her, and she couldn't leave the desert in this state. After careful consideration, she decided to send someone to the Central Plains to invite a master to exorcise the ghost for her.
Seeing that she was serious, Zheng Mo panicked: "Wait a minute!"
Black Pearl thought he was just talking nonsense and was about to signal his men to do something about it, but the next second he was stunned by his loud shouting: "I know who killed your father!"
Black Pearl's raised hand suddenly clenched into a fist and slammed heavily on the table.
Her face was as dark as ink, and she sneered: "You know?"
She sent so many people to investigate but there were no clues. How could a wandering ghost know?
In order to save his life, Zheng Mo told everything he knew in one breath.
Wuhua, Tianyi Divine Water, Stone Guanyin?
Black Pearl gnashed her teeth, her eyes red with anger and sorrow. She said coldly: "You'd better not lie, otherwise - even if it costs me my life, I will turn you into ashes!"
Zheng Mo was so frightened that he curled up into a ball, blaming God for letting him travel through time and space to be born into the body of such a crazy woman, dressed in such a weird way!
A chosen one like him should be dressed as Chu Liuxiang!
The person who went to the Central Plains wrote back, and it was just as Zheng Mo said, the person who killed her father was Shi Guanyin's son, Wuhua, and the method he used was also Tianyi Divine Water.
Who could have thought that the wonderful monk Wuhua would be the son of Shi Guanyin? Who could have thought that he would be the one who stole the Tianyi Holy Water?
Black Pearl was silent for a while, then picked up the pen to write a reply.
She could sense the jealousy and admiration of the lonely ghost in her body when he talked about Chu Liuxiang. It can be imagined that Chu Liuxiang could not be an enemy, and she had never thought of becoming an enemy with him.
It's better to be friends with such a person.
After Chu Liuxiang is done with, her people will dig Wuhua out and kill him.
She asked the elders who were going to the Central Plains to cut off Wuhua's head and bring it back, so that she could use it as a memorial tablet for her father.
But man proposes, God disposes. Just as Black Pearl was preparing to send other people to the Central Plains to invite the master to the desert, another tribe that was dependent on her presented her with a treasure.
It was because of this treasure that she was almost robbed by Zheng Mo!
It was a colorful coral, like a glass gem, dazzling and rare.
Even someone who didn't value treasures like Black Pearl was dazzled the moment she saw it. She couldn't help but reach out and touch this colorful coral that was as tall as a person.
The moment she touched the coral, something unexpected happened!
Zheng Mo, who had been living in her body like a parasite, suddenly jumped up!
In an instant, a sharp pain suddenly came over Black Pearl, and she felt her body being split in half, her consciousness being torn apart, and her soul being pulled.
Her hands could not move, her eyes were dark, and her mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool, so she couldn't utter a word.
In the midst of this pain that is difficult to describe in words, Black Pearl heard Zheng Mo's increasingly crazy laughter, and she fell into darkness in regret.
She should have followed the elders to Central Plains.
She shouldn't have touched the colorful coral.
But it was too late.
Black Pearl was split in half, her body was no longer her own, she only had control over half of it.
The other half of the control is in the hands of Zheng Mo.
Black Pearl floated in the darkness for a long time before waking up. She opened her eyes and saw a bedroom with a completely changed layout, but she didn't have time to think about it.
She quickly summoned her confidants, and as she expected, Zheng Mo did not dare to reveal his identity at all, and could only use her identity to bully others, which gave her a chance to rescue him.
After learning more about the situation, Black Pearl confirmed two things.
First, her memory is not connected to Zheng Mo's. Zheng Mo has no way to distinguish who are her confidants and who can be replaced. He can only retaliate by issuing some incomprehensible orders in an attempt to take revenge on her in this way.
Second, this lonely ghost is really an idiot!
Black Pearl made prompt decisions and sent her trusted aides to different places. Some of them continued to act according to the plan, while others secretly went to Central Plains to find a master with real skills to exorcise ghosts for her.
There was another part that she kept silent about.
Wuhua is dead, and Shi Guanyin might make unusual moves. At this moment, she must put the tribe first. Any unnecessary trouble will only lead to greater disaster.
After arranging everything, Black Pearl found the colorful coral hidden by Zheng Mo.
He also knew that the sudden change was due to this colorful coral. Of course, he had to hide such a treasure that was beneficial to him.
But he didn't know that his possession was still not complete.
This is Black Pearl's territory, and no one knows it better than her. The amazing treasure trove that Zheng Mo racked his brains to find was found easily by her.
The coral that was as tall as a person was still so bright and beautiful. Black Pearl stood in front of it, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out his hand to it.
This time, nothing happened.
Black Pearl didn't believe it and touched it a few more times, but still nothing happened.
She found the tribal messenger who was going to present the treasure, but the messenger told her that the coral was not from their tribe, but a treasure they found in an oasis, and they immediately thought of presenting this treasure to her.
Black Pearl did not want to embarrass these people, so she waved her hand to let them leave, and then sent another of her confidants to secretly investigate the origin of this thing.
Just a few days after the person who went to investigate the origin of the coral left, the black pearl fell into darkness again.
When she woke up again, most of her trusted followers who remained in the tribe had died, and it was "her" who ordered them to be killed!
Black Pearl was shocked and angry, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
The elder came up to help her. She held the elder's thin wrist with her backhand and asked with red eyes: "What's going on?!"
The Great Elder had watched Black Pearl grow up, so how could he not see that the Black Pearl during this period of time was not her real self? But the body was definitely that of his young master, so he could only hold back and not move.
Now that the young master has finally returned, the great elder choked up and told what had happened during this period.
Zheng Mo actually colluded with Shi Guanyin!
He used some unknown method to bring the headless corpse back to life, and even killed an elder and used his head to make Wuhua's head.
Most of those in the tribe who did not obey him died at the hands of Shi Guanyin. For a time, the tribe was flooded with blood and the sound of wailing was endless.
The Great Elder could only lead everyone in pretending to submit.
The strange thing is that Shi Guanyin was right next to "Black Pearl" at the time. She clearly saw that everyone was just pretending to submit, but she did not remind "Black Pearl".
Black Pearl sneered: "You just want to take advantage of others!"
That idiot Zheng Mo, colluding with Shi Guanyin is tantamount to plotting against a tiger and seeking his own death!
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and asked, "Is it true that Wuhua has been resurrected?"
The Great Elder said, "It is absolutely certain."
This is also the reason why everyone is willing to pretend to submit to him. They watched as Wuhua’s head was thrown into the fire. Anyone who can revive the dead must be either a god or a demon!
Black Pearl immediately thought of the colorful coral, but this time she went to look for it, she couldn't find it.
Zheng Mo became smarter.
But it's not enough.
Black Pearl cut off the source of the trouble directly, leaving the Great Elder in the tribe and only leading a small number of people to the ancient city discovered by her father when he was alive.
She ordered those accompanying her to cover their eyes and move forward only by being led.
Only she and the Great Elder knew the direction and route of the ancient city. Once she arrived there and killed Camel, no one else would be able to leave.
By then, the ancient city will be an isolated island. She wants to see what other cards Zheng Mo has.
Before leaving, the elder took out a letter and said that it was written by Zheng Mo and asked him to deliver it to Chu Liuxiang's three confidantes. He also ordered him to find a way to let Chu Liuxiang know the whereabouts of Su Rongrong and others in a few days.
The Great Elder didn't know what the purpose was, but he had lived for so many years and was very good at judging people. He knew that Chu Liuxiang was a person who should be avoided if possible, so he was hesitant and couldn't make up his mind whether to send the letter or not.
Fortunately, Black Pearl woke up at this time.
She took out the letter and read it. After thinking for a while, she said, "Do as he says. Go in person and take them to the inn on the trade route. Don't come back for a while."
The trade route that Black Pearl mentioned is at the other end of the desert. There is only one inn there, which was built by her father and has not been used for a long time. It is safer there than in the tribe.
Zheng Mo is nothing to be afraid of, the Stone Guanyin can also be restrained. The danger is not the people, but the colorful coral of unknown origin.
That's not a treasure, that's a monster!
She has no way to deal with this monster, but maybe... Chu Liuxiang can.
…
Black Pearl's expectations of Chu Liuxiang were too high for him to handle. Chu Xiangshuai, who was highly expected, was still struggling to survive under the scorching sun.
On the eleventh day of the journey, the team's water supply was completely exhausted, and they were still about four days away from the farthest oasis.
Tarona knew it was her turn to take action.
