Chapter 755: Imitating As The Phoenix Girl
The woman claimed that if they wished to overcome the crisis this time, each clan must offer their blood, no more or less, filling it up to one bottle and leave it outside their doors at midnight.
The old man was still a teenager back then. Although he began his career as an official at a young age and was not an expert in Taoist art, he still roughly knew the way to deal with it.
He had heard of people using dog’s blood and Chinese talisman during the exorcism, but when did they ever use human blood to do so?
Yet, the old man still called out to the villagers to do so based on the instructions of the woman. After all, beggars can’t be choosers!
Out of expectation, no one in the village had ever dreamed again since then and no one else died for no reason. The only thing that happened was that the bottle of blood left outside their doors were taken away by someone.
After that, the water in the river overflowed that year and flooded plenty of lands. The ancient black wooden coffin was then drowned in the depths of the river.
It was exactly 40 years since the flood!
Now, this ancient coffin actually reappeared!
The fear experienced by the old man was beyond imagination. His eyes trembled and his heart sank as he looked at the ancient black wooden coffin. He did not allow the exorcists to get near it at all costs.
Ni Hu pondered for a moment after listening to the old man’s story. His eyes then gleamed. “You mentioned that the girl you dreamed of has the features of a phoenix, right?”
The old man nodded.
“Then it must be the Phoenix Girl!” Ni Hu laughed. “There’s nothing to be afraid of then, tell you what, my elder sister is the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl. Take a good look at her, does she look similar to the girl in your dream?”
Ni Hu pointed toward Ni Feng as he spoke.
Ni Feng was wearing a veil with only her gentle eyes visible. Her aura, filled with indulgence, gave out a familiar feeling to the old man.
Seeing that the old man did not deny his statement, he became even more pleased. He then looked at the group of exorcists and smiled as he said, “Rest a.s.sured everyone, with my sister here, anything can be solved.” He even sneaked a peek at Helian Wei Wei and the rest on purpose and then continued with a cold tone, “Once we get into the tombs, we will start splitting ourselves into groups. Those who tagged along behind the Ni family will not have any danger. As for those who are against the Ni family, don’t blame us if we do not lend you a hand!”
Everyone knew clearly of who he was directing to in his last statement.
At first, Ni Hu thought those two amateurs would feel sorry and come over to beg them.
Yet, the other party had no signs of attempting to offer an apology at all, but instead, walked to the front to lead the way.
When Helian Wei Wei walked past the old tomb raider from the side, she still remained a sluggish smile on her face. Baili Jia Jue was just standing beside her, looking egoistic with a gentle and calm temperament.
The old tomb raider paused for a moment and went on to rub his eyes. He must have been mistaken, how could this person be the benefactor in his dream?
He thought it would be impossible, yet he still laid his eyes on Helian Wei Wei’s face, the more he stared at her, the more he could relate her to the image in his dream.
However, he was sure that the other party would not possibly be that person.
A person as such would be surrounded by a spiritual aura, just like Ni family’s Eldest Young Lady who was wearing a veil.
“Another person who has been fooled.” Zhuge Yun said in a low voice. His clear eyes then looked toward the coffin in the middle of the Yin River. “The old man’s dream was indeed related to the Phoenix Girl. However, if Eldest Young Lady is not the Phoenix Girl, we are bound to be in danger once we enter the graveyard. Brother Wei, Brother Jue, do watch out for yourselves. Especially Brother Wei, I know you are intelligent and have knowledge which normal people do not have. But after all, you don’t have the protection of a spiritual aura, you should never act alone, and we should not get separated from each other as well.”
Helian Wei Wei did not reject his kindness due to his sincerity, thus, she only returned a meaningful smile. “Alright.”
She never thought that she would have appeared in one’s dream in her past life and found it quite interesting as her fluffy head moved in excitement.
Baili Jia Jue held her close and asked with a faint voice, “You seem to be really happy?”
“Listening to someone else talking about your own past life is something rather interesting.” Helian Wei Wei answered him with a tone where only both of them could hear it.
Baili Jia Jue stared at her smiling eyes; he was extremely unsatisfied with the current situation. If these people were not around, he could have kissed her cheeks. Moreover, she was even wearing a man’s attire, hence, it was inconvenient for him to do anything.
“If you want to hear stories about your past life, you can ask me.”
Upon hearing it, Helian Wei Wei paused for a second and then asked him in excitement, “You’ve met me in my past life? Did we know each other?”
“Not really.” Baili Jia Jue had a soothing deep voice. “Remember that the King of h.e.l.l’s son mentioned about an exorcist whom I was afraid of?” He said leisurely in an imposing manner. “You were the Phoenix Girl back then, in your past life.”
Helian Wei Wei’s lovely eyes squinted upon listening to him and smiled in delight. “This means that I was more powerful than you in my past life. I defeated you, right?”
Baili Jia Jue thought to himself. This foolish woman is always so persistent when it comes to battles between us.
“I thought you gave up on silly thoughts like that.” Baili Jia Jue took a glance at Helian Wei Wei beside him.
His eyes fully expressed his disapproval which led Helian Wei Wei to raise her eyebrows. “Was it not?”
“Of course not! We have never battled before, we did not even meet.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was as calm as water but was not as fluent as he stammered.
Helian Wei Wei looked at his sunken eyes and made a sluggish smile as bright as light and with the stance of a queen, she said, “I thought so too, we wouldn’t have met in our past lives. Otherwise, I would have seized you and make you my husband if I saw such a good-looking man. No worries, it’s still the same if we are together in our current life.”
“Id*ot.” Baili Jia Jue laughed with a low tone. He then went near her ear as his warmth along with numbness. .h.i.t the back of her neck. “You are right, it’s not possible for me to not tie you up after seeing you, I need to give you a lesson.”
They had been in a relations.h.i.+p for quite some time, thus, Helian Wei Wei knew clearly what he meant by saying that. Her face started to blush, and she turned away to avoid catching sight of his captivating smile. She then turned the topic away. “It’s weird.”
“What’s weird?” Baili Jia Jue held Helian Wei Wei’s hand as if there was no one around.
In fact, no one would overhear their conversation because they were all busy wors.h.i.+pping Ni Feng.
Helian Wei Wei looked around and did not forget to answer Baili Jia Jue’s question. “Logically speaking, one of us is an exorcist and the other is a demon, we should have battled before. Even if we did not battle one another, we should have met. After all, we are opposing parties, but why did it sound like it was quite peaceful for us?”
Indeed, his little thing, smart enough to figure out all the problems.
It was also something that Baili Jia Jue was mulling over recently…
