Starting his cultivation from marrying the Weaver Girl

Chapter 48 Nightmare

The night is like water.

Lin Yao's heart was in turmoil.

The shadow in front of him turned into another self. If he had not thought of blocking out the moonlight, he would have been seriously injured by now.

"Did that woman bring me here so that this thing could replace me? But if that was the case, why did she remind me not to go out at night?"

Seeing that Lin Yao didn't say anything in the darkness, Shadow's face showed some anger.

But the face looked a little stiff.

"This thing doesn't seem to have a strong sense of autonomy."

Lin Yao looked at the shadow in front of him. He found that although the latter was extremely strange and could even change into his own appearance, its movements were very slow after revealing its true form.

"If we want to deal with it, we'll probably have to wait until it reveals its true form. But the aura of decay it carries makes it difficult to deal with."

Lin Yao forced himself to stand up, as the thing in front of him could not get close to him.

But if the outside world is full of such things, Lin Yao’s original plan will be disrupted.

In the darkness, the embroidery thread quietly stretched out and surrounded the shadow. The difference from before was that this time there was Buddha's light flowing on the embroidery thread.

The shadow didn't care about the embroidery thread beside it. It knew that this thing could not get close to it at all.

It walked towards the darkness with stiff movements, but the embroidery thread instantly tied it up. The moment the two touched, the shadow let out a painful roar.

It kept pulling at the red string wrapped around its body, with fear flashing in its eyes.

It didn't understand why the originally fragile embroidery thread overturned its advantage in an instant.

"Who asked you to come?"

Lin Yao finally spoke in the darkness, and the embroidery thread continued to spread to its body.

The shadow fell to the ground in pain. Lin Yao's face was struggling and twisted, and then turned into a mirror.

"It's a mirror."

Shadow's words made Lin Yao frown. He had never seen any mirror in this ancient house.

But now Shadow is like a turtle in a jar, and his life or death depends on his own thoughts.

"Besides you, what else is there in the night?"

As Lin Yao opened his mouth to ask, the embroidery thread pierced into the shadow's body.

It spoke tremblingly in pain.

"Everyone out there is our kind."

"Where is the mirror?"

The embroidery thread continued to absorb the vitality from the shadow's body. The latter was now extremely weak, but Lin Yao was still hiding in the darkness.

"The vermilion lacquer gate."

After saying this, Shadow lay on the ground with only a layer of skin left.

Lin Yao controlled the embroidery thread and dragged the leather bag into the darkness.

He stroked the leather bag, and blood dripped onto it. The leather bag rolled up and disappeared along with the embroidery thread.

under the moonlight.

Lin Yao fell to the ground, and the wound on his arm still vaguely showed the white bones. Because of the smell of decay, the embroidery thread was sewing very slowly.

But fortunately the bleeding has stopped.

"Squeak."

In a daze, Lin Yao saw the door being pushed open.

The woman stood at the door, looking at him quietly with an indifferent expression.

"you"

Lin Yao wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't resist the drowsiness in his mind and passed out.

The last thing he heard was a word from the woman.

"Mi Tou Tuo?"

The next day.

Lin Yao opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed. He raised his arm but did not see any unhealed wound.

Everything that happened last night seemed to have never happened.

Lin Yao stood up, put on the hood and walked out of the room.

The woman was sitting on a chair in the yard drinking tea, while Lin Yao picked up the wooden bucket and watered the flowers.
The master and servant did not disturb each other and were both doing their own things.

"Last night, at the end, this woman came and mentioned Mi Tou Tuo with the figure we met at the beginning. Is it because of the Buddha's Hand Lotus in my body?"

The four statues outside Fengmen Village emerged in Lin Yao’s mind.

Perhaps Mitoutuo was one of them, but no Buddhist figures were seen among the four statues.

After much thought, he came to no conclusion. After watering the flowers, Lin Yao put the bucket back and stood beside the woman.

"When you've finished your work, you can do whatever you want. Don't worry about me."

After the woman finished speaking, Lin Yao left Dingxiang Cottage.

He walked hurriedly in the corridor. When he woke up, it was already dawn. Lin Yao wanted to wait as long as possible until the maid appeared at the vermilion lacquered gate to see her.

But things went against his wishes. When Lin Yao saw the maid again, she was still standing there quietly, waiting for his arrival.

After seeing Lin Yao, the maid continued to look at him quietly as before.

After a moment of silence, she cut her finger and began to write on the ground.

"Have you seen Nightmare?"

nightmare?
Lin Yao couldn't help but think of the shadow he saw last night.

Seeing him nod, the maid wiped the words off the floor, then stood up and left.

Lin Yao did not stop him. He didn't know the identity of the maid yet. She only gave him some hints when they met.

"What is she afraid of?"

Lin Yao looked at the words on the ground that had been rubbed blurred, stretched out the embroidery thread, and scraped up a layer of ash on the ground.

He once again stood in front of the vermilion lacquered gate, and before Lin Yao could make a move, the gate slowly opened.

The blue bricks and gray tiles remain.

Lin Yao stood at the door, feeling like he was being watched.

Something on the other side of the wall was looking at him.

In other words, he was trying to figure out whether he was Yan or the real Lin Yao.

However, Lin Yao didn't want to waste time here. Since he had already met the maid, he now had more important things to do.

He closed the vermilion lacquered gate and walked towards another small courtyard.

"Why are you so stupid? My sister said that as long as I can beat her, I can move to the next floor."

In the small courtyard, a ceramic doll knocks on the forehead of the person in front of it.

The man had a tangled coil of red rope on his hand.

Lin Yao stood outside the door, listening to the sounds in the courtyard, and pushed the door open.

What caught the eye were many ceramic dolls of varying heights, weights and shapes, with tangled strings entangled around their bodies.

Different from the elegance of Lilac House,

It was even more bizarre here. After those ceramic dolls sensed Lin Yao's arrival,

He turned slowly, as if sizing up this sudden stranger.

When the ceramic doll saw the doll headgear, it was stunned for a moment, then floated to Lin Yao's side.

"You escaped from your sister?"

There was a hint of surprise in her voice.

"Miss let me come out for a walk."

Lin Yao's voice came from the hood, but his eyes were fixed on the servant behind the doll.

Xiaoqing lowered her head, her eyes empty and lifeless.

The porcelain doll rolled its eyes and then grabbed a ball of red string beside it.

"Since you are here, teach me how to play crocheting."

Lin Yao nodded. Although the ceramic doll in front of him looked strange, its nature was no different from that of a child.

Maybe I can find some useful information from it.

More importantly, Xiaoqing is now her servant.

"It's your turn."

The ceramic doll placed the flower rope in her hand in front of Lin Yao.

He took a quick glance and easily untied it.

Fortunately, in his previous life, he was bored in the countryside and could only play cat's tuck in different ways every day.

The ceramic doll looked at the pattern in Lin Yao's hand with a sad face.

She had clearly cracked the tricks Lin Yao used when they first met, but the tricks in front of her now were still ones she had never seen before.

Lin Yao was just about to ask something.

A cold and chilling aura suddenly enveloped him.

The ceramic dolls in the yard were slowly approaching Lin Yao.

"I want you to stay here forever and play with me."
