The head, rising, then stopping, and finally slowly moving backward.
The field of vision became stable.
Staring silently at the door of the room.
Lao Gong didn't make another sound, and I felt as if Lao Gong's consciousness had even come to a halt...
It seems to have been suppressed by some terrifying thing!
Afterwards, soft footsteps began to echo.
The field of vision changed, returning from beside the door to inside the room.
Then it clicked, it was probably not Lao Gong who wanted to meet up with me earlier...
But he wanted to escape from this room...
Escape from those hands!
But he didn't escape!
The soft footsteps halted in front of the dressing table.
In the tarnished copper mirror, a perfect and flawless body was reflected.
However, the head on this body was truly unflattering.
"Such a ugly head."
The creased lips trembled slightly, and the voice that emerged was not Lao Gong's, but another female voice.
She lifted her hand and gently stroked Lao Gong's rough skin.
In the next moment, both of her hands were rubbing on Lao Gong's skin.
After a moment, she seemed a bit agitated, and with a strong pull, Lao Gong's head clattered and hit the dressing table.
Lao Gong was completely immobile, as if he had been suppressed.
I can see that the perfect, unblemished body once again became a headless existence...
"You have arrived, but the old man has said..."
"You would bring my head with you."
"The head is my bride-price."
"But why, you brought so many, different heads. None of them are what I want." The tone of the abdomen was very sad.
"The old man is neither dead nor alive. He told me to wait for you."
"But you don't seem like yourself. You are you, and also someone else. Who are you, exactly?"
The slender fingers suddenly landed on Lao Gong's head.
The fingers turned slightly, and Lao Gong's head turned along with them.
What I see is the empty neck.
"The old man said that someone would try to deceive me."
"There is a you that is not you."
"There are tokens on your body, but it's not you, and you have no tokens."
"Are you him?"
The tone from the abdomen changed from sadness to coldness, filled with intense murderous intent.
Previously, the headless woman had said some words that were very serious, sounding solemn and terrifying.
That part of the soul of the headless woman and the soul of Qi Yini in the dream, in terms of personality, are truly identical!
But the headless woman has never shown me any signs of killing intent!
"Master..."
"Third... the Thirty-Six Strategies..." The trembling voice was still Lao Gong's.
In this situation, he actually made a sound.
But before he could finish his sentence.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, everything in sight was torn apart!
The last scene I saw was the slender fingers pointing down.
Lao Gong's existence collapsed under the point, and his perception was severed.
The fingers abruptly pulled away from the night pot.
I only felt an icy chill throughout my body, accompanied by an unquenchable sense of unease.
It's like something terrifying has locked onto me, and I can't resist it!
That's Qi Yini!
Earlier, I had deduced that Qi Yini was trapped and died in this nightmare, causing the corpse to grow lingering thoughts.
After all, Lao Gong had told me before that Qi Yini had been searching for a head.
But I didn't expect Qi Yini to be awake!
Her words were probably not directed at Lao Gong, but at me!
A sufficiently fierce ghost can sense the presence of perception.
Like Wei Youming before, he knew that I was in his eyes!
But what did Qi Yini's words mean?
Who is the old man? Is it Old Qin?
Would I bring Qi Yini's head to offer it as a bride-price?
Is it a promise given by Old Qin to Qi Yini?
So Qi Yini has been waiting for me in the nightmare all this time?
But she also said that I am not me...
In a strict sense, I am indeed not myself. The body is, the soul is, but the destiny is not.
Zhou Kang cursed me, but let Lv Kan suffer.
Yu Xiu accepts the destiny but not the people.
The headless woman is a bit better, only recognizing me.
But Qi Yini seems to be recognizing the destiny as well?
In addition, she also said that someone wants to deceive her and take her away, the one deceiving her is not me, but it's me.
Everything must rely on the token as proof!
My mind suddenly became clear, and I suddenly understood.
The one who is not me should be Sun Zhuo!
Old Qin must have calculated certain things, but these things did not happen as he had expected.
Just like, I didn't bring Qi Yini's head and come here to enter the nightmare.
Sun Zhuo did not appear here, pretending to be me and deceive Qi Yini!
Old Qin must have set up a trap!
Just then, this trap should have changed at some point...
The place of change... in the Xu family!
The normal sequence, according to Old Qin's arrangement, should have been for me to give rise to a sliver of yang spirit from Xu Nuan's Miaoxuan Jade Life.
In this way, I will have a yang spirit and can walk on the path arranged by Old Qin!
I am a complete me.
Sun Zhuo holds my destiny, in a certain sense, he is also me.
As Mao You San said, if I can sell my life, I can also sell off Sun Zhuo.
But Xu Nuan's Yuan Yin was shattered by Sun Zhuo!
This means that the most crucial part of Old Qin's plan was disrupted!
Old Qin also had a remedy, that is, after his plan failed, I had to hide my identity.
After that, the events were unrelated to me!
And Qi Yini also said that the old man is neither dead nor alive...
Not dead means alive; not alive means dead.
Between life and death, Mao You San did not cast a hexagram!
At the bottom line, it was Old Qin's arrangement that was disrupted, leading to a situation where none of us had anticipated or could control.
Since I did not give rise to a yang spirit as Old Qin had envisioned, naturally, I could not walk on the path he might have arranged for me.
What the token is, I naturally wouldn't know!
At this moment, it means that Qi Yini's part of the soul will consider me as Sun Zhuo!
She will kill me without hesitation!
Find Fei Ying and Fei Qi, and leave as quickly as possible!
Don't be mistakenly killed!
Otherwise, the immortal and mortal Old Qin might also have to experience life and death.
Sun Zhuo, who I am now pushing to the dead end, may have the chance to be carefree again!
Take a deep breath and let your thoughts become extremely calm and composed.
I walked quickly to the doorway and pushed the door open.
I don't know where Qi Yini was earlier, and I don't know where she will appear from.
I can only walk towards the big house where I came last!
As I walked, I used the hair-cutting knife to cut my five fingers, and the blood dripped into the night pot.
This is a special method of summoning spirits!
Ghost-nanny's spirit becoming a way!
By using the medium between the living and the dead, spirits are summoned back.
The medium can be an object in which the spirit resides, a weapon used in a murder, or blood relatives.
The night pot is a weapon. Lao Gong is a ghost I've taken care of, and I've nourished him with my blood. In addition to the ghost-nanny becoming a way, we can call back his disintegrated soul!
Otherwise, when it leaves the object in which it resides, it is suppressed at the moment of dispersion. It will be difficult to condense and become a ghost without consciousness.
As I walked, enough blood had flowed, and I muttered under my breath.
"Child, noon Tao Buddha, dog years ghost, tiger and sheep human, rabbit and rooster animal, dragon and ox Shouluo, snake and pig immortal. The day branch becoming a path is not false!"
"Jin Yang Lao Guai Village in the area, the ghost-nanny goddess is manifested. Please call back the dead to become a path!"
