The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 66 Fighting

Xia Xiangxi asked again: "Where is my grandfather? I saw a snake entangle him with my own eyes!"

Ma Po shook her head and said, "That's not a real snake, it's your grandpa's nightmare! That stinky old man knew your grandpa was afraid of this snake, so he used the nightmare technique to control your grandpa so that the scene he was afraid of would reappear. , neither you nor I can save your grandfather, he has to rely on himself!"

Xia Xiangxi didn't believe it, and hurried back to the Diaojiaolou, and saw her grandfather being entangled by the giant python. She tried to suck the giant python up with herself, and got close to the giant python, but she could see it, but couldn't touch it. When her hand touched the body of the giant python, it was empty.Taking a closer look, the boa constrictor was still wrapped around Grandpa's body without moving a bit.

Ma Po came over and said, "I told you earlier, you should believe me this time!"

Xia Xiangxi sweated anxiously and said, "What should I do?"

Ma Po said: "Do you know, you Han people like to say 'Success is Xiao He, defeat Xiao He'?"

Xia Xiangxi nodded. How could it be possible not to know the idioms and allusions of the Han people?
Ma Po said: "Your grandfather knows alchemy, which makes him different from others, but such a difference may not necessarily be a good thing!"

Xia Xiangxi was puzzled and immediately asked Ma Po why she said this?

Ma Po said: "Things will be reversed when they are extreme, and they will be devoured when they are reversed. It is like witchcraft. When you are young, you can control it. When you are old, the Gu that has been raised for a lifetime will be reversed. If you handle it properly, you will save your life. If you don't handle it well, you will die." It's the same with alchemy. Your grandfather caught too many ghosts when he was young, and when he was old, the ghost aura accumulated on his body would accumulate and soak in like a slow poison every day, destroying his own body. When you are young, it’s all right, you have the courage to be fearless, but when you are old, you will have a lot of scruples. What you were not afraid of when you were young, you will be afraid of when you are old. Weaknesses will become more and more difficult to cure. You Grandpa has too many scruples, and this has become his weakness!"

Xia Xiangxi hurriedly asked, "Do you know what grandpa is worried about?"

Ma Po took a look at Xia Xiangxi and said, "That's you! People will be afraid of death when they get old, and everyone has this day. It's just that there are hundreds of different reasons for fear. Some are reluctant to bear fame, fortune, glory and wealth; some are I can't bear to part with my loved ones; what's more, I can't bear to be forgotten by this world!"

Xia Xiangxi realized in an instant that Jiang was always hot and old, and Ma Po could see through many times more things than her!At this time, she could also understand what Ma Po said Grandpa was afraid of!Grandpa was afraid of death, because no one would take care of her after he died, leaving her to live alone, with no one to ask about her warmth!Thinking of these Xia Xiangxi's tears fell down, she never knew that she was also a burden of grandpa!
Ma Po said again: "The scene your grandfather is afraid of actually has something to do with you!"

Xia Xiangxi was at a loss, wondering where Ma Po's words came from?She couldn't remember ever encountering a python.

Ma Po said: "When you went out, I went to your grandfather's dream, so I know this!"

Xia Xiangxi looked at Ma Po and then at Grandpa in confusion, and could only beg Ma Po to tell the story.

It turned out that Ma Po went out of her body with the help of her primordial spirit, entered Grandpa's dream, and saw a scene.She saw Xia Xiangxi, a five or six-month-old baby, and her grandfather neglected to take care of Xia Xiangxi because he was helping people drive out ghosts, and left Xia Xiangxi alone at home.When grandpa came home, he couldn't hear Xia Xiangxi's crying, thought she was still sleeping peacefully, and walked into the house lightly, but the scene in front of him shocked him severely, Xia Xiangxi was lying on the bed He kept dancing and fiddling with his little hands and feet. A flower snake had already inserted its head into Xia Xiangxi's mouth. If grandpa came back later, the snake would surely follow Xia Xiangxi's mouth into her stomach and torture her to death. !

When Ma Po said this, Xia Xiangxi was already retching in fear, as if a snake had entered her mouth and was about to crawl into her stomach.

Ma Po ignored Xia Xiangxi, and continued: "This is why your grandfather is afraid. People are often like this. When encountering danger, they will think about living desperately and become brave and fearless, but even if they save their lives later However, every time I think of those scenes of narrow escapes, I am more afraid than when I was about to die. It is like being sick. Although it is said that the illness comes like a mountain, it is not the mountain that really crushes people, but the People themselves. I can’t bear it mentally, and I scared myself to death!”

Xia Xiangxi now understood what Ma Po said grandpa was afraid of!With self-blame and fear, I got entangled in those "ifs". Grandpa always thought "If it was later, she would die. If he hadn't left such a small girl at home and asked someone to take care of her, she wouldn't have appeared. Such a thing!"

Xia Xiangxi couldn't help shouting to his grandfather: "Grandpa, I'm still fine! Wake up from the nightmare!" The futile shouts didn't work on Grandpa at all.Xia Xiangxi had no choice but to cry and beg Ma Po to think of a way to save grandpa.

Ma Po said: "I was thinking of catching Fuzhu just now, so that smelly old man who hurt your grandpa will have no amulet, and I will drive some evil spirits to spare him so that he cannot cast spells, so that your grandpa or yourself can get rid of it." Come out, but looking at it now, there is no reduction at all. I am helpless! The dream drop in your grandfather is a head drop technique. I don't know the head drop technique, so I can't crack it!"

When Xia Xiangxi heard this, she immediately turned around and ran up to the third floor. Ma Po chased after her. She didn't want her to take the risk. She couldn't control the head lowering technique at all, and she might end up harming herself!
Xia Xiangxi didn't care about these things at all, and told Ma Po that she was delaying things here, it would be better to help her, otherwise, she would curse her for indirectly harming grandpa!Seeing that Xia Xiangxi insisted on this, Ma Po sighed and didn't stop her.She also helped Xia Xiangxi prepare all the equipment and props for the head drop technique, and then went to take care of her grandfather. As for what Xia Xiangxi will encounter here, she can only pray for her own good luck!
Xia Xiangxi wore the toothbone necklace before, and she didn't feel anything the last time. This time, she didn't know if it was because she was in a different mood, or because she was so annoyed that she had hallucinations. She felt that those teeth had become a person. The toothbone is a person, and many people are turning around her, whispering something.

Regardless of these, Xia Xiangxi began to recite the spell according to the method of deciphering Mengjiang in the sheepskin book. After a while, she felt that there was another world in front of her eyes. She saw a young Miao nationality practicing archery. When the arrow flew out, a young Miao woman suddenly appeared in front of the arrow, with a basket on her arm, and walked towards the boy with a smile on her face.It was too late when the young man found out, no matter how much he shouted and how he ran, he could not chase back the arrow that left the string. After that, the arrow pierced deeply into the young woman's chest.

Xia Xiangxi heard the boy yelling heart-piercingly, "Mom..."

After the scene changed, she saw Grandpa Ma sitting cross-legged in front of the divine table and reciting a spell. She understood at once that she had just come out of her body like a mother-in-law and entered Grandpa Ma's dream.Since it is a dream, you can get whatever you want in your dream, and you can do whatever you want!
With just one thought, Xia Xiangxi immediately turned into the young Miao woman who was shot by an arrow and fell into a pool of blood, calling Grandpa Ma's baby name.

Grandpa Ma opened his eyes wide. He saw Xia Xiangxi, but in his eyes, what he saw was not Xia Xiangxi himself, but his biological mother who was shot to death by an arrow. He couldn't help but shouted "Ah!" Mom..." Immediately, before Xia Xiangxi had time to react, she opened her eyes, she was still in a stilted building, and she was herself.

Xia Xiangxi thought she had failed, and wanted to recite the spell again, and re-enter Grandpa Ma's dream, but heard a cock crowing, and the candles around her were extinguished without wind, and they extinguished so neatly that there was not a single one left. down.

Xia Xiangxi scolded her for being useless in her heart, and cried angrily, but at this moment she heard Ma Po's shout, telling her to go over quickly, and grandpa woke up.

Grandpa really woke up. After Xia Xiangxi passed by, he saw that the python wrapped around his body had disappeared, and Grandpa was also helped to the bedside by Ma Po.It's just that he didn't know what happened, he really thought everything was just a dream he had, and said that he was really old and confused, and he didn't know when he fell asleep on the ground.

Ma Po asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Grandpa shook his head blankly and said, "I don't remember!"

Only then did Ma Po laugh easily, letting Grandpa sleep on him, she took Xia Xiangxi's hand and came out together, and said to Xia Xiangxi: "Girl, you are really amazing!" After boasting, she sighed again, Said, "If your grandpa finds out, I don't know whether he will be happy or upset!"

Xia Xiangxi only thought that Ma Po was worried that Grandpa knew that she had practiced the head lowering technique, so she said to Ma Po, "We won't tell, Grandpa won't know!" She asked Ma Po uncertainly, is it really all right? ?She entered Grandpa Ma's dream, but she didn't seem to succeed, and she came out of his dream all of a sudden!
Ma Po said: "Successful, otherwise your grandfather will not be well! Wait patiently until tomorrow to see what that stinky old man looks like. If he is backlashed by his own dream, he will lose most of it if he can't die. Fate!"

Xia Xiangxi nodded, and she was relieved that Grandpa was fine. As for the person who harmed Grandpa, she was not as vicious as to kill him. If he was forced to retreat, it would be fine if he didn't dare to harm her and Grandpa again!
Before it was daylight, Uncle Ma rushed to the stilted building and asked Ma Po for help, saying that Grandpa Ma didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly he was ill, and he was unconscious, begging Po Ma to go and have a look!

Ma Po didn't say no, she told Uncle Ma to go back first, and she said she would go there right away.After that, she said to Xia Xiangxi solemnly: "See? This is the power of backlash! It's like a person hitting a wall with his hand, how much strength you use, it will give you back!"

Xia Xiangxi understood that Ma Po was admonishing her, and nodded vigorously, saying that she would remember it in her heart!
