Chapter 1050 Doll
The rain was really heavy, with lightning and thunder, and many people had died in this place, making it a standard stage for a ghost story.
Anyone with a smaller courage would be frightened to the point of collapse.
Fortunately, Pei Qianhuo was very brave and was not scared by this situation.
In order to temporarily forget the fact that his clothes were stained with mud and water, he began to look around and take in the surrounding environment, trying to divert his attention.
As a result, he actually discovered some clues.
Not far in front of him, underneath a charred earth wall, part of the soil had been washed away by rain, revealing a bit of black stuff.
Pei Qianhuo just stared at the black spot without blinking until the rain gradually stopped.
He stood up and walked out of the corner and went to the bottom of the earth wall.
There just happened to be a shovel next to it that had been burned to the point where only half of it was left.
Pei Qianhuo picked up the shovel and started shoveling the soil.
As the soil was dug up bit by bit, the black thing gradually revealed its full appearance -
It turned out to be a black wooden box.
The box is made of top-quality sunken wood and is very heavy. It also has a small and exquisite copper lock on it.
Pei Qianhuo didn't know how to pick a lock, and he was too lazy to go down the mountain to find a locksmith to help him open the lock, so he just used brute force to break the lock.
When the wooden box was opened, a statue about half a foot tall was found inside.
The shape of the statue is very strange, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Pei Qianhuo shook the statue and found that there seemed to be something hidden inside the statue, so he smashed the statue on the spot.
A dark red doll fell out of the statue.
The doll has an iron hoop on its head, with a string of birth data written on the front and very strange black runes painted on the back.
Pei Qianhuo didn't know much about runes, nor did he know who the string of birth characters belonged to, but he could feel that this thing was definitely an evil object that could harm people, and the person who buried it here must have had bad intentions.
He immediately put the doll in his arms and hurriedly left Dafu Village.
After going down the mountain, Pei Qianhuo found an inn nearby, planning to take a hot bath, change his dirty clothes, and have a good night's rest.
As a result, as soon as he walked into the guest room, two masked assassins jumped out from the corner and slashed at his forehead with knives!
Pei Qianhuo relied on his agile skills to fight two people alone and killed the opponent.
But he didn't dare to stay in the inn any longer.
He suspected that he was being targeted and if he continued to stay here he would probably be assassinated again.
His suspicions proved to be correct.
In the next few days, he experienced three assassination attempts, and the number of assassins increased each time.
Even though Pei Qianhuo was a martial arts master, he could not withstand so many people besieging him.
According to his original plan, he was going to return to Shengjing as soon as possible. As long as he arrived in Shengjing, he would be safe.
But those assassins seemed to know that he was going back to Shengjing, and they ambushed him in advance at the place where he had to pass, waiting for him to fall into their trap.
In order to avoid these assassins, Pei Qianhuo had to give up the official road and choose to take the rugged and hidden mountain road.
Because he was unfamiliar with the terrain, he often went in the wrong direction, got lost several times, and wandered back and forth in the mountains.
It would have taken only ten days to return to Shengjing, but in order to avoid being hunted down, he took four times longer to finally reach his destination.
After Pei Qianhuo finished telling his story, his eyes were blank and he had no desire to live, like a broken rag doll.
"You know what?
I didn't even have a chance to catch my breath along the way, and I could only eat dry food when I was hungry.
Later, when the dry food was gone, I could only eat wild fruits.
I haven't taken a bath for more than forty days and I'm living like a savage.
I am no longer the refined, clean and spotless person I once was.
I feel so dirty.”
Xiao Xixi comforted him, "It's okay, I don't dislike you."
Pei Qianhuo rolled his eyes and looked at her: "Really? Then hug me now."
Xiao Xixi looked at his dirty clothes and the faint sour smell emanating from him, and she gave him a fake business smile.
"I'm already married, I can't cuddle with Third Senior Brother anymore, it's against the rules of being a woman."
Pei Qianhuo twitched the corner of his mouth: "I knew that women's words cannot be trusted."
He pulled out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it on the table.
Even through a thick layer of cloth, Xiao Xixi could still see the thick blood light emanating from it, which was an ominous sign.
She carefully opened the cloth bag, revealing a palm-sized doll.
The doll is dark red all over, as if it had been soaked in blood, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Xiao Xixi reacted in an instant: "Is this the doll you dug out from Dafu Village?"
Pei Qianhuo replied lazily, "Yes."
Xiao Xixi picked up the puppet and smelled a pungent smell of blood as soon as she got close to it.
This thing is really stained with blood!
The birth date and time written on the front of the doll are exactly Luo Qinghan’s birth date and time.
As for the black runes painted on the back, Xiao Xixi also felt that they looked very familiar. She only thought about it briefly and then she remembered it.
At the beginning, Xiao Lingfeng brought back a statue from a member of the Salvation Church. After the statue was smashed, a piece of talisman paper fell out from it.
The runes on that piece of talisman paper are exactly the same as the runes on the back of this doll!
Pei Qianhuo saw her staring at the doll in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
"Do you know what this doll is used for?"
Xiao Xixi murmured, "I suspect someone wants to replace Luo Qinghan's Ziwei destiny, and this doll may be one of them."
Pei Qianhuo was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood.
“No wonder those people were chasing me like crazy, it turns out it’s because I discovered their plot!
By the way, if I snatched this doll back, does that mean their life-changing technique failed?"
Xiao Xixi shook her head: "It's not that simple. If the life-changing technique had failed, Luo Qinghan should have woken up by now, but he is still unconscious."
It was not until this time that Pei Qianhuo realized that Luo Qinghan was unconscious.
After he inquired about the process of Luo Qinghan's coma, he stroked his chin and thought.
"Assuming your guess is true, Luo Qinghan is now unconscious, which means that the opponent's life-changing technique has entered the final stage, and there is only one step left before success. Luo Qinghan is in danger."
Xiao Xixi clenched the puppet in her hand and spoke word by word.
"We can't let their scheme succeed!"
Pei Qianhuo actually doesn't care about Luo Qinghan's life or death, but Luo Qinghan's life is tied to Xixi's.
If Luo Qinghan died, Xixi would be doomed as well.
For Xixi, Pei Qianhuo couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
He asked, “What are you going to do?”
Xiao Xixi did not answer but asked: "Do you know the process of implementing the life-changing technique?"
Pei Qianhuo shook his head: "I don't know, my master didn't teach me this."
