"Don't believe it!"
Shen Weixun quickly pulled Niannian back, preventing her from getting any closer to the paper figure.
Zhang Zicheng was also worried that the little bun would actually believe the paper figure's words. He directly raised his hand and shattered the paper figure, leaving it no chance to speak anymore.
The clues could be cut off, but Niannian mustn't be in danger.
The paper figure was shattered into pieces by him and floated gently to the ground, but it didn't stop its temptation.
"Hehehehe, little baby, they're going to die. Your eldest senior brother and master are going to die..."
After leaving these words, the paper figure completely became a pile of waste paper.
The two senior brothers were extremely angry, but as the paper figure dissipated, the trace of consciousness within it also vanished into thin air.
They couldn't even find the person to beat up if they wanted to.
Niannian stared blankly at the pile of paper fragments on the ground, with the paper figure's last words echoing in her mind.
The eldest senior brother would die...
The master would die too...
She didn't want that!
She didn't want anything to happen to the master and the eldest senior brother.
Niannian stretched out her chubby little paw and grabbed the corner of Shen Weixun's clothes.
Her mouth puckered, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked so pitiful, on the verge of crying.
"Third senior brother, I want to go find the master and the eldest senior brother..."
The little bun sobbed softly.
She couldn't calculate the master's whereabouts, and she didn't know who to turn to for help.
She could only pin her hopes on the third senior brother, Shen Weixun, who she thought was the most powerful and smartest.
"Be good. Don't listen to its nonsense. How could the master possibly be in trouble? You know how powerful he is."
Shen Weixun stroked the little bun's head, soothing her restless heart.
With these words, Niannian gradually calmed down.
Yes, the master was the most powerful master in the world. He definitely wouldn't be in trouble.
But...
If he wasn't held back by something else, why hadn't the master come to find her?
Niannian puckered her mouth and looked as if she was about to cry again.
Shen Weixun couldn't bear to see her sad, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Let's go to the dilapidated temple first. The second junior brother still has something for us to solve."
Sure enough, the little bun's attention was quickly diverted.
She glanced at the second senior brother and nodded heavily.
Right!
Now it was the second senior brother's matter, which was more important.
"Then let's set off quickly!"
Niannian grabbed two of Shen Weixun's fingers and walked back with great effort.
After the paper figure was broken, the corpses and the villagers that had been controlled to move all lost their mobility.
They easily pushed open the large door of the dilapidated temple.
Goodness!
The gloomy wind that blew towards them almost knocked the three of them over.
Shen Weixun instinctively shielded Niannian with his body, blocking most of the gloomy wind for her.
All they could hear in their ears was the howling of the wild wind.
Niannian rubbed her eyes that had been irritated by the sand and finally managed to see what was inside.
She saw a woman.
The woman's appearance and clothes were exactly the same as the woman she had seen in her dream.
After their eyes met, Niannian suddenly felt her mind go blank, and she felt a bit dizzy.
It seemed as if someone was whispering in her ear.
"Come here. Hurry up and come here."
This voice seemed to contain some kind of magic that made the little bun unable to resist.
As if her body was out of control, she took a step and slowly walked towards the woman.
Shen Weixun saw Niannian bypass him and walk into the yard against the wind. He secretly thought something was wrong.
He covered his face with his hand and tried to block the strong wind. Barely able to see the little bun's figure, he found that Niannian's eyes were dull at the moment, and she seemed to have lost her soul.
"Niannian!"
Shen Weixun shouted.
The gloomy wind rushed into his mouth, and it felt as if his internal organs were being eroded by the cold air.
He wanted to quickly catch up.
But the resistance of the wind was too great. It was very difficult to move forward a few steps, let alone run.
Zhang Zicheng wasn't in a much better situation.
He wasn't as powerful as Niannian and Shen Weixun in terms of Taoist magic. Facing such a strong gloomy wind, he was completely relying on his righteousness to hold on.
The bone-chilling gloomy wind seemed to penetrate his body, and his limbs felt frozen and stiff.
They didn't even dare to speak.
The wild wind carried a thick gloomy qi. If they opened their mouths and inhaled it into their bodies, they would suffer great pain.
Niannian still walked forward on her own.
Neither of the two senior brothers could see what was going on in the yard.
Zhang Zicheng just instinctively felt that the aura in the yard of the dilapidated temple was a bit familiar and kind.
But he couldn't catch it.
Niannian slowly walked up to the woman. She looked up at the straight - standing woman and asked crisply, "Big sister, who are you?"
The woman didn't say a word.
She stared blankly at Niannian, as if trying to see another person's shadow through this cute and fair little face.
"So alike... really so alike..."
"Huh?"
Niannian blinked her eyes and tilted her head in confusion.
Alike what?
"Princess Wenqu, we meet again. Last time he stopped me from killing you. This time, you can't escape no matter what."
The woman's eyes were full of certainty and the madness of wanting to destroy everything.
She raised her hand and wanted to grab Niannian's fair and tender neck.
But just as she was about to touch the little bun, a golden - glowing Zen staff hit her hand.
"Ahhh!!!"
The female ghost let out a shrill scream.
The sound was so sharp and deafening that it seemed to penetrate the eardrums and go straight into the brain.
It made people feel dizzy and see stars.
The female ghost's hand emitted thick black smoke, and her facial features were distorted together, looking extremely hideous and terrifying.
"Tu Chaoyang, she's not the princess."
A man's deep and thick voice came. Niannian turned around blankly and saw the second senior brother, whose temperament had completely changed, standing in front of her.
The second senior brother at the moment was completely different from before.
He put away his casual and indifferent appearance. His eyebrows and eyes exuded calmness and tranquility.
He put his hands together, and his eyes looking at the female ghost were calm and expressionless.
"Dead monk, are you going to kill me again for her?"
Tu Chaoyang's eyes were sharp and full of hatred. The way she looked at Zhang Zicheng, she wished she could devour him alive.
"I didn't kill you in my previous life either. If my stupid previous - previous life had been a bit more ruthless, you should have been completely annihilated and never reincarnated. The reason you can still stand here and talk to me is because the so - called dead monk you mentioned used his merits and life to allow you to continue living in this world."
"He likes to do good deeds, but I don't. Niannian isn't any princess. She's just my junior sister. If you dare to touch her, I'll surely fight you to the death!"
Tu Chaoyang was stunned.
She never expected Zhang Zicheng to say such things to her.
The person in front of her had the same face as the old acquaintance, but he was extremely strange.
Right.
This was Zhang Zicheng who had experienced countless reincarnations.
He wasn't the ascetic monk who vowed to relieve all suffering anymore.
