Maybe it was because she couldn't see the evil spirit, or for some other reason, but she dealt with the evil spirit that time by herself. In the same situation, Zhiyao would have stood in front of her and told the evil spirit to go away.
Whenever she thought about it afterwards, Xili's mind would reflect Zhiyao's calm look holding the amber dagger in the face of danger. With the help of Wuhui and Yaoboji, over time, Xili felt a sense of security that she had not felt for a long time.
The problem of being harassed by evil spirits after losing her loved ones and gaining spiritual power has been a constant problem that has troubled her. Now that she is with Zhiyao, this problem has been solved. In addition, after living in the shrine, she hears less and less noise, and her mind becomes more and more peaceful. Although the shrine was not opened by Zhiyao but by his friend, even so, Xili still subconsciously believes that Zhiyao has contributed to it.
Plus, their experiences in every aspect are almost identical.
In short, Zhiyao's rating continued to rise, and he was gradually accepted and recognized by Xili as a friend.
After becoming friends, they will start to care about each other intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhiyao is naturally not unrelated to Xili's current situation.
Just last night, Xili had a dream. In the dream, she returned to Mihua's coffee shop and lay on the bed in her room. She got up from the bed and walked around the house. When she passed the side near the second floor near the entrance, she saw Chunhe walking out of the door, followed by the ethereal and illusory ghost of Dongyang. Concerned, she hurriedly picked up her camera and followed him out of the coffee shop, but there was no trace of Chunhe on the street.
Guided by the ability of shadow seeing, Yuri gradually came to Higami Mountain. When she arrived at the forest in front of the Katashiro Shrine, Harukawa still didn't see it, but unexpectedly saw a young man.
Sikong Zhiyao.
How could Zhiyao appear here? Xili was a little confused. With the idea of acting together, Xili shouted Zhiyao loudly, but found that Zhiyao seemed to have heard nothing.
It's so weird. There are only less than 20 or 30 meters between them. It's really unbelievable.
Seeing that Zhiyao was about to disappear in the depths of the forest, Xili hurriedly chased in that direction, shouting and quickening her pace. Unfortunately, Zhiyao neither looked back nor stopped from beginning to end. Xili just chased after him until they got out of the jungle and saw Zhiyao stopped at the side door of Xingshiro Shrine.
This time she finally caught up. Without taking a breath, Xili ran towards Zhiyao's position with all her strength.
Then, Zhiyao's figure began to become ethereal and illusory, and melted into the void the moment Xili's hand was about to touch it.
Then, Xili woke up.
If an ordinary person had such a dream, he would definitely laugh it off, because dreams are virtual after all, and delving into the content is pure idleness.
However, Xili would not do that because she had experienced what happened at Rishang Mountain and she also inadvertently recalled what happened at Mihua.
At that time, Mihua suddenly disappeared. After she picked up Mihua's pendant on Rishang Mountain, she saw the scene of Mihua being dragged into the water by evil spirits in the Other Shore Lake. Later, it was proved that Mihua was indeed attacked by evil spirits. She finally found Mihua made into a pillar in the coffin of the Water Palace.
Since Mihua is like this, Zhiyao must have encountered something as well, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why I dreamed of Zhiyao appearing on Rishang Mountain on the night Zhiyao set out.
Having such a dream is not a coincidence, it must contain some meaning, such as Zhiyao must have gone to Rishang Mountain.
Then the fact that he disappeared in front of him meant that he encountered something.
Admittedly, the evil spirits could not threaten Zhiyao, as she was protected by gods like Yaoboji, but no matter what, that place was Rishang Mountain, a spooky area where the souls of countless dead people wandered and where deep resentment was accumulated.
As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. Maybe you will encounter something that Babai Bo Ji can't solve.
Thinking of this, Xili began to worry secretly in her heart.
At this moment, she wanted more than ever to contact Zhiyao immediately to check whether she was safe and sound.
However, mobile phones were not yet popular in that era, and she didn't know where Zhiyao lived now or what the landline phone number was. As she couldn't confirm the situation clearly, she became more and more uneasy.
She spent the whole morning in anxiety. At noon, she even asked Gudu Zhiyao directly whether he had called back. After getting the answer of no, her anxiety gradually turned into anxiety.
I clearly warned him not to set foot on Rishang Mountain, so why didn't he listen?
She was extremely upset.
Didn’t that guy say himself that he understood my feelings and was willing to be with me all the time? Why hasn’t he called me to let me know he’s safe? Isn’t it common sense to call home to let them know you’re safe after arriving in a new place after a long journey?
Didn't you ever think that you would be worried?
Feeling frustrated, she began to sulk from the afternoon to the evening. Finally, she simply gave up thinking and stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
Be patient and wait for two more days. If there is still no news after two days, go to Rishang Mountain, even if it means biting the bullet.
You can borrow the camera from Shenhong, and ask Gudu to help you with the travel expenses first, and then work to pay it back later.
The above was Xili’s last thought before going to bed.
After that, her vision became increasingly blurred.
……
Since Zhiyao didn't feel sleepy until four in the morning last night, he slept until the afternoon. With a groggy head, he sat up subconsciously and found that the room was dark, and it seemed that the curtains were drawn.
I glanced at the bed next to me, but Shuiyun was not there.
Where is Shuiyun?
Just as he was muttering to himself, he suddenly noticed something in the corner of the wall. He looked closely and found it was Shui Yun.
Shui Yun was now huddled in the corner, hugging her knees with her hands, her eyes fixed on the floor.
When she noticed Zhiyao coming towards her, her eyes suddenly widened and she screamed like some women who saw a cockroach.
"do not come!"
Hearing this, Zhiyao stopped, confusion evident in her words.
"What's wrong, Shuiyun?"
After looking carefully with wide eyes, Zhiyao saw Chu Yeshi's sword placed next to Shuiyun, which made him even more confused.
"Did something happen while I was sleeping?" Zhiyao asked indifferently with a serious expression.
Shui Yun looked at him steadily, and after a moment she gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Sikong, can you please find a rope to tie me up? Or at least find an iron cage to lock me in."
"what happened?"
"I...I'm afraid I won't be able to help but attack you."
Picking up Chu Yeshi's sword, Shui Yun began to tell what happened as the brilliant golden light spread over the face.
Everything had been fine last night, but after Zhiyao fell asleep, Shuiyun suddenly noticed her vision blurring, as something took over her mind, followed by an uncontrollable excitement that made her tremble uncontrollably. Gradually, she lost control of her body and began to move closer to Zhiyao. Realizing she might attack Zhiyao, she desperately tried to stop herself, and then remembered what had happened in Youzhi Palace.
In a panic, she took out the amber dagger and finally calmed down after being illuminated by the light, but she knew that this was only temporary, so she dared not close her eyes anymore, picked up the Chu Yeshi sword and hid as far away from Zhiyao as possible.
"You, want to attack me?" Zhiyao was a little bit unbelieving.
"This is the instinct of most monsters." Yaoboji reminded Zhiyao at the right time.
"Is that so?" Zhiyao turned to her.
"Of course, it's better to say that only a few can control themselves. Although the light of the spirit stone can calm violent monsters, I still suggest that you remove the trouble forever."
Obviously, Zhiyao had no experience in dealing with monsters, and the only thing he could think of was to let Shuiyun carry the spirit stone with her.
However, after Yaoboji said that he could consult a professional, the next moment, the face of a female monster with silver hair and blue eyes appeared in Zhiyao's mind.
In an instant, Zhiyao woke up as if from a dream and punched his palm.
"Yes, you can find Hidechiyo."
Chapter 145: [So what if Ah Xiu is not here, there are monsters here too]
"Isn't Ah Xiu out traveling?" Wu Hui reminded Zhiyao at the right time.
"Maybe he's back." Zhiyao guessed, not quite sure.
"Who is A Xiu?" Bai Ju was curious.
"He's a half-demon that has existed since the Warring States Period and has lived to this day." Zhiyao answered her. After that, he told Shuiyun to wait for him in the house, and then walked out of the hotel with a note with Wuming's contact information that he took out of his wallet.
"beep----"
After three rings, Wuming's capable voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, this is Officer Fujisaki. May I ask how..."
Before he could finish his words, Wuming was suddenly interrupted by the word "boss" in the microphone, and his expression froze for a moment.
"Wait, it's... you?"
"Hehehe, you just recognized my voice." Zhiyao smiled innocently.
After learning it was Zhiyao, Wuming sighed and asked slowly, "Why are you calling me? Are you going to call the police?"
"Ah, no, it's mainly because I haven't seen you for a long time, not even during Chinese New Year. I miss you so much, hehe."
On the other end of the phone, Wu Ming's eyebrows trembled for a moment, and his tone became indifferent: "It's okay, I'll hang up first."
“Hey hey hey——”
Zhiyao finally put aside her playful thoughts and stated her purpose: "I have something serious to discuss with you. It's very important."
"Private matter?"
"Ah."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ming held his forehead with his hand, his voice full of helplessness: "Don't use this number for personal matters, this is for work."
"I only know this number." Zhiyao suddenly felt innocent.
"Okay, okay, tell me your contact number and I'll call you back from the public phone booth outside."
A few minutes later, the two calls were connected again.
"What's the matter? Tell me. We're very busy here so please be as brief as possible." Wuming spoke first.
So Zhiyao stopped talking nonsense with her and described the matter in the most concise way. However, he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, there was no sound on the other end of the phone, so that he suddenly became curious whether Wuming was not listening at all.
Ten seconds later.
"Hey, are you still at the bottom?"
It was not until this time that Wuming's voice slowly sounded.
"Yes, I've been listening to you." Wu Ming cleared his throat, his eyes filled with speechlessness. "I say, why do you always go to places like that? Before, it was the Himuro Residence, and now you've gone to the Higashin Mountain hundreds of kilometers away. You've become a rare person who has returned to the past."
"Becoming a rare person... isn't something I can control." Zhiyao's eyelids immediately rolled up, and he defended himself sullenly, "Besides, there's a girl who has been waiting for me on Rishang Mountain for decades. How could I not go? Would you have the heart to not go if it were you?"
"Oh, putting that aside, what did you do in the past? You got a backpack full of spirit stones and turned a human girl into a monster. You're in trouble, don't you know?!"
Zhiyao's scalp was numb from being scolded, and he raised his claws and scratched it hard.
"Hey, can you please stop talking? I didn't call you just to get scolded."
"I'm your boss, how can I not even say anything when you make a mistake?" Wuming's tone was very indignant.
"That's not what I meant. I mean... I'm really reflecting on myself."
"I did not think."
"Really, really. Besides, I've already been scolded eight hundred times. There's really no need for you to repeat those words again."
"Eight hundred?" Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, that guy, okay, then I won't talk about you. Then, why did you call me?"
"Please tell me what to do next."
"Excuse me? Excuse me how to get rid of the monster? It's simple. The Chuyeshi sword is on you, right? Just use it to pierce the monster's body. If it's difficult to do, let Yabai cooperate with you."
Zhiyao was immediately ashamed. If it were a comic, you could even see a bead of sweat on his forehead.
"Sorry, that's not what I wanted to ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, a snicker broke out on Wuming's face on the other end of the phone.
"Then what do you want from me?"
"I'm not looking for you. I'm looking for Ah Xiu."
"Then I'll hang up first?"
“No, no, no—”
After a few pleasantries, the two returned to the main topic.
"A Xiu is not here." Wu Ming spoke first again.
"You haven't come back yet?" Although Zhiyao had expected it, she still felt a little disappointed.
"No, I told you she seldom comes back."
"Then... what should I do? I came to Ah Xiu to learn how to permanently eliminate the monster's instinct to attack humans. To be honest, Shui Yun had that impulse last night, and only temporarily suppressed it with the help of the spirit stone."
"This kind of thing... well, I really don't know much about it, and I haven't discussed it with her. Anyway..." As his fingertips dug into her cheek, Wuming's eyes rolled around and he suggested, "How about this, we use the spirit stone to suppress it first, okay? Then you bring Shuiyun to my house, and I'll observe her and see if there's a better way."
"Let me think about it. That's it for now. Bye."
As the call was hung up, Zhiyao felt a little discouraged and sighed in frustration.
"Just do as Wuming said." Wuhui's voice came in his mind.
"Are you sure there won't be any side effects?" Bai Ju's voice was the second to come out, her heart filled with worry. "Even though Sister Shuiyun looks fine, I feel very uncomfortable doing this."
"If there's really no other choice, I can only..." At this moment, something flashed through Zhiyao's mind, and then his eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood, "Yes, how could I have forgotten that guy."
