Chapter 461 Wig 2
"Fatty, at first I thought Xiaoyou was hallucinating because of too much stress, until last week, I stayed at her house for one night, measured the length at night, and measured it again the next day, and her hair really had grown, so I called you."
Chen Jiayi hugged Lin Pangzi's arm and shook it gently. She looked at the wig in the storage box, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
"You lunatic, look at this wig, what's up with it!"
Fatty Lin nodded at me and gave me a wink.
I know what this guy means; he's showing off, but he's also worried about potential danger, so he's giving me a wink to warn me to be careful.
"Um!"
I'll grant him this small request, since there's a woman around. The key thing is, this guy started grumbling yesterday when he got back, saying he wanted to let Yang Xiaoyou know how many years the War of Resistance Against Japan actually lasted.
As for how to let her know, it's nothing more than physical therapy, one treatment means a year!
Nodding, I gripped the Demon-Slaying Seal with one hand and reached into the storage box with the other, preparing to take out the wig. But before I could even touch the wig, the jet-black hair seemed to be statically charged, suddenly standing up and touching my fingertips.
"what!"
The moment I touched it, everything went black, and I heard a shrill woman's scream.
"What are you barking about, dog?!"
I wasn't nervous. Instead, I snorted coldly, drew the Demon-Slaying Seal with my right hand, and, relying on my instincts, smashed it down on the wig in the storage box.
With a loud bang, another scream rang out, and my vision returned.
Inside the storage box, the wig lay limp and disheveled, its shape ruined by being smashed.
"madman?"
"Brother?"
Lin Pangzi and Long Nier exclaimed in surprise at the same time. Lin Pangzi, in particular, forgot about pretending to be cool and shoved Chen Jiayi aside.
"fine!"
I laughed and pointed to the wig in the storage box, saying, "I smashed it with one press!"
"It's nothing, it's your hand!"
Fatty Lin grabbed my left hand, and I then noticed that there were several tiny black dots on the tips of my left index, middle, and ring fingers. These were hairs, and they were burrowing into my fingers.
"It's silk!"
Upon seeing this, Fatty Lin's expression changed drastically. He immediately bit his finger and made a hand seal, trying to force out the strands of hair.
Even at this point, I still didn't feel any pain, only a slight swelling in my fingertips.
But as Fatty Lin made a hand seal, I felt a bone-chilling cold seep into my body through his fingers, and I heard that venomous wail again.
In just a short while, the black dot on the fingertip turned into a thin line, like a worm burrowing inside.
"snort!"
Compared to Fatty Lin's panic, Long Ni'er was quite calm. She snorted, rolled her eyes at Fatty Lin and me, and said, "Fatty, Brother, you two were careless, thinking that you were in your own backyard with the Grandmaster in charge, so you weren't afraid of anything. How about it, you got tricked, didn't you?"
"Ni'er, do you have a way?"
Seeing that Long Nier was so calm and even had time to criticize us, Fatty Lin calmed down immediately.
What do you think?
Long Nier glared at Fatty Lin, grabbed my wrist, and said, "This is a hair-piercing-heart curse. It uses the life essence of a living person to nourish the curse. If it's not removed within half an hour, the hair will wrap around your heart, and you'll surely die."
"Ni'er, I feel relieved to have you here!"
Seeing that Long Nier spoke so detailedly and easily, Fatty Lin reverted to his old ways, grinning and joking, no longer showing any of his previous worry.
"Ni'er?"
I called out tentatively, feeling a little embarrassed.
I shared the same thought as Fatty Lin: with the patriarch around, the various magical artifacts left by my grandfather, and Long Nier, a wig wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
Who would have thought they'd almost capsize in a ditch? This is a classic case of trying to show off but ending up getting screwed over instead.
"Brother, I'm here, it's alright!"
Long Nier said softly, her gaze towards me incredibly gentle.
The more she acts like this, the more worried I become. Having been with Long Nier for so long, I know her personality perfectly well. If she scolds me a couple of times, it's not a big deal, but the gentler she is, the bigger the problem becomes.
"Hehe, I know it's okay!" I chuckled awkwardly, but my scalp tingled slightly.
"All the sorcery in the world is nothing more than a branch of Gu magic. Trying to use sorcery on me is like showing off your axe in front of Lu Ban!"
Long Nier softly took out a flat box, about the size of a baby's palm, from the pouch hanging at her waist. Inside was a spider covered in fine black hair, its life or death unknown.
She picked up the spider, turned her head to Little Hachi on her shoulder, and said, "Little Hachi, give me a thorn!"
Without saying a word, Xiao Ba pulled a thorn from his body and handed it to Long Nier.
Long Nier took the thorn and gently pricked the spider's abdomen. A drop of dark green liquid dripped out and landed in Long Nier's palm.
She put the spider back in the box, gently rubbed the drop of dark green liquid in her palm, bent her right knuckles like a hook, somewhat like the eagle claw technique, and gently moved her lips, reciting two incantations that I couldn't understand. Then she took my hand and placed it in her liquid-covered palm, rubbing it for a while.
At the same time, Long Nier made a gurgling sound from her abdomen, like a toad croaking.
As the cry rang out, the strands of hair in my fingertips seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and they fled frantically, emerging from under my fingernails.
But as soon as it emerged, Long Nier picked it up, pinched it in her palm, and turned it into specks of ashes that fell to the ground.
"alright!"
After doing all this, Long Nier let out a soft breath, glanced at me, thought for a moment, then opened the small box containing the spider, took out the spider covered in black hair that looked like it was dead, stabbed it in the abdomen again, and then said to me, "Open your mouth!"
"what?"
I looked visibly resistant, already considering a certain possibility.
"Brother, open your mouth!"
Long Nier didn't scold or yell at me; she just looked at me gently.
"oh!"
When I met Long Nier's eyes, which were filled with tenderness, my heart trembled. I didn't dare to say anything, but simply opened my mouth as she instructed.
Long Nier was very satisfied with my performance. She snorted and used Xiao Ba's thorn to prick the spider's abdomen. Just as the dark green liquid was about to drip out, she lifted the spider and held it near my mouth, letting the drop of dark green liquid fall into my mouth.
"Swallow it!"
The moment the juice hit her mouth, a strange taste, both bitter and sour, exploded inside. Then, Long Nier's command rang out.
I subconsciously swallowed, and as the taste went down my throat, a surge of heat exploded in my chest and abdomen, feeling as if I had drunk a large cup of Sanbian wine.
"That's it?"
Fatty Lin then spoke up and asked.
"It's solved!"
Long Nier nodded slightly and said, "Besides the silk ribbon, there are some other things inside that wig. Fatty, you can handle them!"
"Why!"
Fatty Lin nodded, turned around and looked at the wig in the storage box, which started shaking again.
