Chapter 299 was broken
Having no other choice, she bit her index finger and smeared the blood on the doll's forehead.
The doll finally stood up and quickly darted into the street.
Wu Yao sighed. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have been lazy and should have learned more skills.
What if she runs out of blood someday?
Resigned, she chased after the rapidly running doll. People on the street only saw a person dressed entirely in black running and shouting something like, "Slow down, slow down!"
They assumed Wu Yao was crazy and kept their distance, afraid of accidentally bumping into her.
The puppet actually took the longest route, and it was already evening when it arrived at the entrance of Shanquan Village.
Wu Yao leaned against the big willow tree at the entrance of the village, panting heavily.
The children from the school had already finished school, but they were still running around the village like crazy.
They shrank back in fear upon seeing this stranger, because his clothes were so strange.
Some of the children had already run away in fright. Wu Yao looked up at the little ones and couldn't help but frown.
That brat isn't here!
This damned doll, it ate her life essence and blood but didn't take her to the right place.
She stood up and asked the older child standing in front, "Do you have a baby here with big eyes and black eyebrows?"
She paused for a moment and gestured, "About this tall?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the older child couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Are you talking about me?"
Wu Yao was so angry that she almost couldn't resist slapping the brat on the head.
She clenched her fists and asked patiently, at which point two monks, one big and one small, appeared at the door of the new house.
Wen Muchuan rubbed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were two monks.
Huh? He just came into the courtyard, how come he didn't notice any monks?
How did it appear so suddenly?
It's not dark yet, so it shouldn't be anything dirty.
He ignored it, but Xiannian at the door called out to him, "Please wait, benefactor."
Wen Muchuan turned around, but remembering his daughter's instructions before she left, he didn't go forward.
He gave a slight bow to the master and disciple and asked, "Is there something you need, Master?"
"Amitabha," Huixin stepped forward and said softly, "Benefactor, my master and I have been traveling for several days. May we beg for some food here?"
Xian Nian smiled faintly, while Wen Muchuan noticed obvious dark circles under their eyes.
Just as they were hesitating, Xie He came out from inside. "You two are too kind. Please come in."
Since she had spoken, Wen Muchuan naturally dared not have any objections. He invited the master and apprentice to sit down in the courtyard.
"Please have a seat, masters. I will go and prepare some vegetarian food."
"Amitabha"
The master and disciple thanked him, saying "Amitabha."
Xie He went into the kitchen and brought out all the vegetarian dishes. Because of Wen Luozhi's matter, she was very concerned about anything related to God.
Thinking that there were two monks, she began to prepare the vegetarian meal carefully.
In no time, she had prepared three dishes and a soup and brought them out. Huixin's round eyes lit up.
Compared to his mature demeanor when he first entered the courtyard, he now has a more childlike air about him.
Wen Ziming and Li Chunxing, a married couple, each carried a child out, while Xian Nian took out two strings of small beads from her sleeve.
Huixin accepted the gift and presented it to Xie He with both hands. "Benefactor, this is a spirit bead blessed by our master, most suitable for children to wear. Thank you for your generosity."
"You can't just take this kind of thing," Xie He said gently, pushing the food away. "It's just a meal, it's nothing."
Huixin looked at Xiannian with some difficulty, realizing she hadn't been able to deliver the gift.
Xian Nian nodded at him with a smile in his eyes, and Hui Xin then put the things away.
In the study, Mo Li felt a heat on her neck.
He looked down and saw that the cinnabar in front of him seemed to have turned even redder.
Wu Yao asked her way from the village entrance and found her way here, but it was already dark when she arrived.
The courtyard was brightly lit, so she peered inside from the wall. The doll suddenly reacted, lifting its foot to squeeze through the crack in the door.
Wu Yao scooped up the doll and pressed it tightly into her arms.
There's a master in the courtyard!
She realized what was happening and quickly held her breath, taking quiet steps as she backed away.
Xiannian in the courtyard had stopped making hand seals.
Huixin was unaware of what had happened and obediently continued eating the rice in her bowl.
"Sir, may I ask where there are any vacant houses in this village?"
"My master and I are afraid we'll need to stay a few more days before we can continue our journey."
Xian Nian looked like a Maitreya Buddha at that moment, and Xie He felt a strange sense of peace when he saw him.
The two little ones have been crying a lot at night these past two nights. It's good that there's a master here; maybe it will help them get better.
She pointed to the room upstairs next to the potted plants and said with a smile, "The guest rooms upstairs are empty."
"If you two masters don't mind, please feel free to rest."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "My two grandsons were noisy at night, so I apologize to both of you masters."
"Amitabha," Xiannian bowed, said a few words, and then led the master and disciple upstairs.
The closer Xian Nian got to the room where Mo Li was, the more refreshed he felt, as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened up.
The feeling intensified as he approached the study door, and he couldn't help but stop.
Wen Muchuan, following behind the master and apprentice, explained, "This is where the children study."
"The rooms where the two masters rested are still ahead."
Xiannian glanced inside and could only vaguely see two small figures, one big and one small, from behind.
The feeling disappeared when she got further away, and Mo Li, who was inside the room, felt the cinnabar mark on her neck inexplicably grow colder.
Once inside the room, Xiannian sat cross-legged and began to calculate the appearance of the object that had just appeared.
Huixin watched quietly from the side. When she saw him open his eyes and ask in shock, "What's wrong, Master! Did you divine something?"
Xian Nian nodded and then shook his head. He seemed to have figured something out, but it just vanished from his mind.
As if not wanting him to understand, the thing ran incredibly fast.
"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that for now."
He sat up again, recalling the evil aura he had felt in the courtyard, closed his eyes, and began to count on his fingers again.
"Light shines, darkness recedes, evil spirits, depart swiftly!"
Xian Nian suddenly opened his eyes and struck out the window with his palm.
Huixin only saw a faint golden light flash by, and then it disappeared.
At that moment, the doll that Wu Yao was holding in her arms suddenly stopped struggling.
She thought the doll had overheard her words, but when she let go, she saw that the originally white doll in her arms had turned charred black.
"Damn it!" Wu Yao slammed her fist against the wall in anger.
There was a trace of a vengeful spirit inside this doll, and she had a hard time sealing it inside when she set off.
Because she was awakened with her own blood today, she now feels extremely heavy.
Her pupils turned completely black in an instant, and she tore the charred doll in half and stuffed it under the crack in the wall facing the main room.
At night, Wen Jinyu and Wen Zichen cried and made a lot of noise, so the whole family put on their clothes and got up to check on them.
