302 Staple Binding (2)

dead" He glared at my brother, speechless.My brother let out a sigh of relief: “That’s good, as long as he's alive, we can take care of him… Are there any skilled healers in your village who can det...A thin, humanoid figure darted out of the grass. His face was as white as paper, his eyes were smiling, but his mouth was downturned. There was a strange talisman on his chest.

The cheeks of that face were flushed with two reddish patches, like the paper figures from old-time dramas, looking particularly eerie under the dim lighting.

We thought it was the Corpse King, terrified as if facing a formidable enemy. Better to hear ghost cries than ghost laughter. This is a warning passed down for countless years in our circle. If you see a corpse laughing, the first reaction is to flee.

My brother pulled me back a few steps, and between us was a small bonfire. He picked up a burning stick, skewered a piece of charcoal, and whispered, "Stay alert, I think it looks like a scarecrow..."

Scarecrow What kind of scarecrow is this so realistic

I haven't seen Sister A's strawman technique with my own eyes. The strawman that Brother Long operated in the stone chamber before was very simple, just a few small people made of straw, which could be seen at a glance.

This scarecrow, could it be from that sister She wants to escape, the only way is to rush out from the intersection we're at, so she sent a paper figure to scout the way

Before, Mu Yunliang's human skin scarecrow was very complicated. It not only required flaying a person's skin alive but also involved using a substitution technique to place the internal organs of other corpses into the body, creating a walking corpse almost indistinguishable from a real person.

To be honest, Situ Lin's magical skills are very powerful. We can hardly compare to him. If he hadn't chosen the path of evil, perhaps he would have achieved great things.

This scarecrow in front of me is not covered in human skin, its features are like paper mache, several levels lower than the ones made by Situ Lin.

This thing suddenly moved, its movements stiff but powerful. It lunged at my brother!

I quickly dodged to the side, I couldn't hold them back at this time.

I flung open the car door and ducked into the back seat, slamming the door shut. I cracked a window and, clutching Lei Jue, swung at the chasing scarecrow with all my might.

The scarecrow lurched, and my brother immediately threw a burning charcoal at it. Flames erupted on its back, but it kept coming towards the car door relentlessly!

"Ah!" A few sparks dropped from the crack in the window, the car jolted, and I hurriedly retreated to the other side of the car, throwing open the door and scrambling out.

The moment I landed, something felt wrong—the ground was sprouting little scarecrows like insects! They were crudely made, but incredibly strong!

They were climbing all over me, pulling at my skirt!

"Brother, these things—these things are aimed at me!" I was anxious inside, what do these little things want to do!

I frantically tore the little scarecrows off my clothes, one by one like bugs clinging to me, even my hair was being pulled by them!

That flaming scarecrow rushed towards us, and my brother poked it open with a burning stick.

I kept backing away, and unexpectedly tripped over a stone beneath my feet. I fell hard onto the ground, the sharp gravel scraping my palms and buttocks painfully.

Jiang Qiyun arrived just in time. He raised his hand and with a sweep, an invisible frost blade passed through, slicing the burning straw man in two. The burning upper half fell to the ground, lessening the threat it posed to us considerably.

He frowned and walked up to me, tugging on my arm to pull me up. " ...With you here, I wouldn't feel at ease going anywhere."

As he spoke, his slender fingers plucked the seven or eight little straw men dangling from my clothes like fallen leaves. The tiny things scattered at his touch, vanishing into the grass.

"Sorry... I'm not really good at dealing with these 'common' things..." I lowered my head honestly, admitting defeat.

As for the monastic, secular and worldly paths, I only have a bit of understanding about the path of the Dao. The other two, I don't understand much. No one has ever taught me about them, and I haven't had any exposure to them. I've learned everything almost entirely by myself.

"That woman is very clever. This place is full of overgrown forest and caves; she's hidden herself within a barrier. The weeds here can become her weapon, allowing us to be at a stalemate for some time." Jiang Qiyun stared intently at me, checking if I was hurt.

Those little scarecrows just grabbed onto my skirt, some even climbed up into my hair! They pulled and tugged at me, leaving me a mess. My skirt is ripped now.

"Still can't find her" I thought that sister was quite persistent. Faced with our pursuit, she actually chose to resist stubbornly. Did she think Si Tu Lin would come back to save her

Jiang Qiyun saw my expression and frowned: "Treachery against one's kin is a serious crime. This is someone else's family affair, so you shouldn't worry about it."

My brother asked, "Brother-in-law, how do you use the Five Elements Fire Formula Teach me."

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and pinched it once, his slender fingers were very flexible, I was envious. Such a complex pinch, many times I need to use both hands to pinch it out, short arms are really heartbreaking.

My brother learned by doing, practicing several times. After asking about the incantation, he crouched on the ground and practiced with the half-finished straw man.

"Send a signal to have them retreat, I'll have the Yin soldiers search the mountain." Jiang Qiyun said impatiently.

My brother smirked wickedly: “That’s right, time is precious at night. Who has the time to play hide-and-seek with her in this desolate wilderness”

He said this while giving me a knowing look, meaning: You see he's angry and needs to vent.

I pretended not to see, and withdrew back into the car seat.

My brother lit a Sky Rocket, a kid's toy, using it as a flare. The Sky Rocket roared and burst into a small cluster of sparks in mid-air. Long Xiao Ge and the others should be able to see it.

Jiang Qiyun sat in the back seat with me, staring at my stomach and asking, “... Is there something wrong with your stomach”

"Are you concerned about my stomach, or are you concerned about me" I asked with a smile.

"Is there a difference" He chuckled coldly. "These two little things have big faces. Taiyi specially summoned me to the Dongji Miaoyan Palace, and I thought something important had happened. As a result, he just gave me two talismans."

Hearing that a great deity was concerned about these two babies, I couldn't help but smile and reach out, saying, "Where is Fu"

"I haven't written their names yet, I'll give it to you after I'm done."

"You have to write it yourself... at least as your own father..."

There was a hint of resentment in my tone. I thought I'd hidden it well, but he still sensed it.

He gazed down at my protruding belly, reaching out to caress my knee.

An icy hand crept slowly upward, the straps of her dress piling up on his wrist, rising higher and higher...

"I quite like you like this, though it's inconvenient. You even struggle to open your legs." He leaned down and lightly kissed her stomach, like a dragonfly touching water.

"Yin and Yang's conception truly is the boundless wonder of heaven and earth."

He spoke very seriously, and I couldn't stop blushing. Last time he said: Wait until the two little ones come out, and let me be awakened.

What does enlightenment mean The old lady said that she still has to stay in confinement!

As I was talking to him in a low voice, my head suddenly throbbed with pain!

Out of the blue, unexpected!

It was as if something had suddenly been rammed into my head, a splitting headache —'t know if Jiang Qiyun felt pity for her and did so much, but anyway, she was saved from death several times. However, her body is very weak now. She doesn't care about worldly affairs anymore. Her hu...
