Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 384
"This blood..."

I whispered to myself, reaching out to touch the bloody writing on the desk.

Beads of blood rolled, a touch, and suddenly an extremely cold feeling crawled all over my body along the touched part.

Like the fresh blood that just flowed from the body, the three blood characters mixed together, flowed and merged, and unexpectedly formed a human face-like pattern.

I swallowed, the candlelight next to me shone on the blood, it was a demon green, and the lips of the human face pattern slowly bloomed, showing a weird smile.I trembled, and I couldn't help but tilt my head, and my eyes just fell on the green candle next to me.

Like a flash of lightning piercing through my mind, my whole body trembled, and suddenly I remembered an extremely weird thing.

From the moment I entered the first study room, I seemed to be affected by something, and I automatically ignored the green candlelight.You must know that according to Xu Xiake's time calculation, this underground stone chamber has existed for at least 400 years. For such a long time, unless it is the longevity cream made of shark fat, it is impossible for ordinary candles to burn for such a long time.

And there is this kind of bewitching green light that doesn't look like a good thing at first glance, but how could I ignore such an obvious thing before?

Cold sweat rolled down my forehead, my eyes were piercing, and I leaned my head forward to observe the candle carefully.

As my cheeks kept getting closer to the candlelight, I didn't feel the temperature of the flame, but a small pimple involuntarily crawled up on my face.

When I got closer, I was horrified to find that there was a face looking at me evilly in the flickering candlelight. Those two eyes were green all over, and they were sneering at me again and again.

"Xia Yuanyang!"

I was frightened by this sudden scene, and besides yelling in horror, I stretched out my hand and wanted to extinguish this weird candle.

However, the face in the candlelight didn't change at all, it just looked at me evilly.

"Ah! What's the matter?"

I yelled inexplicably, my waving right hand was hanging in the air and I couldn't hit it, as if someone was pulling me from behind.

I turned my head and looked back. There was no one at the door, but the shadow cast by the candlelight on the wall looked very strange. It didn't make any movements as I turned my head, just watching quietly as if it had its own life. with me.

"This... this is an illusion!"

I comforted myself loudly, even though I was extremely powerful, I still felt terrified in the face of such a strange situation that transcended nature. Even Taoist Xuanfa had never heard of such a weird thing happening.

As the fear in my heart continued to grow, the green candle became brighter and brighter, and the shadow on the wall became more agile, and he moved without waiting for me to make a move.This scene made me feel even more scared. Can the shadow move by itself?This is really something unheard of and unseen.

"what!"

I roared loudly, trying to drive away the fear in my heart, but the shadow actually walked out from the wall, except that it was completely black, and approached me like a living person.

When I was horrified, I waved the evil sword in my hand and slashed towards the shadow. However, he raised his dark hand and threw the long black shadow in his hand. At the same time, my right hand also resembled As if uncontrollable, he also threw the Quexie sword out, and it fell to the ground with a jingle.

"What the hell are you! What do you want!"

I roared angrily, and I was absolutely sure that someone was in charge of everything in this evil door. It seemed that since we entered this tunnel, we have been completely reduced to a plaything of an existence.

Because of the fear and anger in my heart, the power of the white dragon and the golden blood in my body kept agitating, and the dragon ball spun around my dantian, and the power exploded.

I tried my best to hit the shadow in front of me, but he also punched me with a punch, and there was a sudden loud noise, and there was a huge force from the fist, and I was beaten upside down, hitting the shadow behind me hard. On the bookshelf, ashes were scattered everywhere.

The broken hand bones recovered quickly under the power of the white dragon, and the shadow was smashed back into the wall wallpaper by me, but only for a moment, he walked out of the wall as if nothing happened, and came to me again. near.As the sense of fear in my heart became stronger, his size became bigger and bigger, and the dark green light even reflected the facial features of his face.

That is my appearance, but the expression is the kind of evil charm and viciousness that I have never had before.

And the candle flame also jumped up a bit, and the smiling face of Xia Yuanyang inside became more and more indifferent.

Maybe everyone has a mysterious relationship with their own shadow. The enemies I face seem to be growing stronger. Not only do they have the same power as me, but they can also control my body. After the confrontation, the black arm passed through the space like nothingness, grabbed my throat, and lifted me up.

With the passage of time, the power of the shadow has even surpassed me, no matter how much he resists, he remains motionless.

"Are you going to die in this unknown place today?"

My face was ashen, and a feeling of despair grew in my heart.At the same time, the candlelight on the table rose more than an inch high, and the shadow that caught me also rose several times, making it even bigger.

"This... Could it be that its power comes from the fear in my heart!"

A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I looked at the changing situation in front of me, and my heart suddenly became enlightened.

Feeling the pinched throat, the suffocation in the chest.I fell into a very calm state of thinking.

"Everything should be caused by this green candle. I am afraid that when I entered the study for the first time, I fell into the illusion created by it. In fact, it has no power to kill me. Visions trigger fears within me, which then gain power and create an even more powerful environment."

I murmured: "So everything in front of me is fake, and it was created by this green candle to scare me. I was still in the study, that Xia Yuanyang was fake, and Xiaobai's arrest was also fake. I The few study rooms I went through after running are also fake, everything is fake!"

"His ultimate goal is actually to let me die under my own fear, let me kill myself!"

My eyes were wide open, and I yelled at the same cheek as mine in front of me and Xia Yuanyang in the candlelight: "Fake! Fake! It's all fake! You are just illusions, only I am real, all of you are fake!" Get rid of me!"

As I roared frantically, the face on the shadow that was like me was stunned, the surrounding light was distorted, and everything was constantly shaking and trembling in my eyes, and finally dispersed into countless fragments like bursting glass.

When I came back to my senses, the surroundings had returned to silence.I am standing in front of the bookshelf at the moment, still holding the notebook left by Xu Xiake in my hand.

On the desk in the middle, the dark red handwriting was still there, and the green candlelight was flickering slowly, but it seemed extremely faint and might go out at any moment.

I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that I guessed it right, everything just now was just an illusion caused by this green candle, and I don't know what material this thing is made of, it actually has such a terrible magic power that makes people die under my own fear.

"Xiaobai, just now..."

I opened my mouth to call Xiaobai, but when I looked at the empty room, I was shocked.

Xiaobai really disappeared!
My heart jumped into my throat. Could it be that the appearance of Xia Yuanyang in the illusion just now was real, that he really kidnapped Xiaobai?

Moreover, why does the appearance in the candlelight also have the appearance of Xia Yuanyang? Is there really some mystery?
I shuddered, put the ancient book on my waist, and walked out with the sword in hand.When passing by the desk, I puffed up my mouth and blew on the burning green candle, and the fire went out immediately, and the surroundings fell into real darkness.

I strode out of the study room, because of the ability of night vision, the dark underground has no effect on me, but a person always seems very depressed.

I pursed my lips and walked forward step by step. This time, the endlessly repeated scenes in the phantom finally no longer appeared.After walking for about ten meters, a stone step descending appeared in front of him.

Taking a deep breath, I walked down the stone steps...
