Half a year ago, on a whim, Young Master Xiao brought three to five servants to hunt in the mountains. Their luck was not good, when they reached the mountains, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Young Master Xiao was unable to control his horse, and could only allow it to carry him as it galloped deep into the mountains, far away, out of the range he was familiar with. When the horse reached a cliff, it lost its balance and fell down, and Young Master Xiao was so lucky that his clothes were barely hanging on an old pine tree protruding from the cliff. However, because of this, he was trapped in an old pine tree on the precipice, unable to reach the sky or land on the ground. After a storm, it was a sunny day. Young Master Xiao was trapped in the tree for three days and three nights, almost starving to death. Fortunately, the ghost car had passed by and soared high into the sky, descending to the cliff and saving him. At that time, Young Master Xiao's body was already extremely weak. That ghost car had found him water to feed him, and had also collected some berries to feed him. The ghost car didn't like strangers, so once Young Master Xiao's family arrived, it left. Before he left, Young Master Xiao had begged him to repay for saving his life, but the ghost carriage had left in a natural and unrestrained manner, not leaving a single word behind. Young Master Xiao thought that he would never see the ghost car again in his entire life and felt quite regretful in his heart.
This time, the ghost carriage was trapped in a cage.
A merchant from the north brought it with him. He put it in a cage made of iron and said that he had caught a strange bird from the north and brought it to the mountain to sell. Because the ghost car was huge, had a strange appearance, and had eight heads and eight beaks, it was lured as a rare bird by the merchants and considered it a rare commodity. However, this kind of vicious looking flying bird, in the eyes of the people of Xiao family town, was a symbol of evil, so the locals rarely had any interest in the ghost car. He treated it as a treasure and paid a large price to buy it. He even invited a skilled craftsman to make a beautiful birdcage for it and built a wooden house for resting at the place they met on the Southern Mountains. From then on, Young Master Xiao's heart was completely focused on this damned carriage, coming everyday to meticulously take care of it.
He was indifferent to everyone and treated them coldly. Only he had a good attitude towards Young Master Xiao; sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would even conjure up a human form to play chess with Young Master Xiao in this wooden house.
The ghost car was originally a celestial bird, so it wasn't difficult for it to take human form, but in the eyes of ordinary people, these things couldn't be any more terrifying! Because of its unique appearance, it was considered evil by the people of the Xiao family. Now, it had materialized into a human figure that strutted into the forest, becoming known as a fiendish demon. When the rumors became more and more crazy, Young Master Xiao had indeed scolded a few servants with long tongues for this. Thus, his violent temper and his harsh criticism of his servants spread out.
"It is strange to say that when I first saw the carriage, he had nine heads and nine beaks. His hair was bright and he looked mighty and mighty. However, when I saw him two months ago, he had eight heads and eight beaks. I once asked him if he had been attacked by some enemy, but he refused to say anything. I said he had great power, but why would he prefer to live in a merchant's cage? He said … but … "
As Young Master Xiao spoke to here, he revealed a bashful expression.
I was impatient and asked, "What did you say?"
Young Master Xiao was shy and did not say a word. Qingling also urged: "Young Master Xiao, right now your sister is in the hands of the ghost carriage. We need to save her as soon as possible. You have to tell us everything you know before we can help you think of a solution. "
Perhaps it was due to his identity as a Demonic Master from the Cyan Plume Demon Slaying Sect, Young Master Xiao stammered for a long time before finally saying: "He said that he wanted to come back to find me, but he was seriously injured and was unable to walk on his own. It just so happened that the merchant who caught him was going to come to Xiao Clan Town, so he decided to just let things be. "
Qing Ling and I looked at each other in silence. That strange bird was indeed a Nine-headed Bird. It seemed like it was a ghost carriage. How could a ghost carriage that came from the Heavenly Snow Mountain in the northern part of the mountain find an ordinary mortal in the Xiao family's town in the southern part of the mountain? Could it really be because of the encounter half a year ago, that they developed such a feeling of being able to cross races with each other?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked: "Young Master Xiao, is that ghost carriage a man or a woman?"
Young Master Xiao replied, "Male."
I was silent.
Young Master Xiao was stunned for a moment, as if he had understood something. He hurriedly explained with a flushed face: "I am only a bosom friend of a car-driver …"
"Forget it. Explaining is equivalent to concealing it." I waved my hand.
At daybreak, Qing Ling set up a Demon Subduing Formation around the wooden house.
"Even though the ghost car was injured yesterday, its relationship with Young Master Xiao was deep. Last night, he rested for a night and today, he will definitely come back to find Young Master Xiao. We will set up a Demon Subduing Formation and lure him into the formation so that we can capture him in one go! " Tsing Ling said to me.
"Why don't we tie Young Master Xiao into the core of the formation? That way, the ghost car will have the strongest power!" I added.
Qing Ling looked at me and laughed. "The most malicious of women."
"Same here."
Thus, they looked at each other and smiled before going to tie up Young Master Xiao.
After everything was ready, Qing Ling and I hid inside the house and waited for the ghost carriage to arrive.
It was almost noon, but the sky was still gray. The sun had risen, but like last night's moon, half of it was bright and half of it was dark. Dark clouds covered the entire forest.
"Half a year ago, this was still a forest full of vitality. I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Qing Ling seemed to be very upset. "Judging by the time, it might really be related to the ghost car. I hope that we can settle this matter today."
I was also full of anticipation for this, the world was gloomy, it looked really uncomfortable, although it was a fake world, but I also hoped that it would be more lively.
Young Master Xiao woke up and began to struggle in the yard. There was a swing on the wall, covered with wisteria vines, but unfortunately for him, the wisteria had already withered. Otherwise, there would definitely be beautiful purple flowers decorating the swing, right? I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a tinge of emotion.
Young Master Xiao struggled endlessly in the autumn of life, and was extremely surprised by our care, "Why did you all treat me like this? Aren't you going to save my sister? Why did you tie me here? "
Ling Qing Ling raised a finger, and said to him: "It is precisely to save your little sister that I have no choice but to have Young Master Xiao make some sacrifices. You can just stay there peacefully! "
Young Master Xiao was stunned for a moment, but still obediently shut his mouth.
I walked to the edge of the cliff outside the courtyard and looked down carefully. Wu Xie fell from here yesterday, so why hasn't he climbed up yet? Could it be that he really met with Miss Xiao below?
Under the cliff, he could see the black gas rolling. There was no sign of evil.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a few sharp whistles. His heart trembled and he could not help but run back to Qing Ling's side. That special shriek sounded neat and loud at the same time. It was indeed the sound of a ghost car. I already experienced its power yesterday, so naturally, when I heard it today, I would run away immediately!
