Chapter 344 Zang Nian is distracted again
Si He didn't talk about the evil spirit for the time being, and simply said, "Master, you also think that I attracted those man-eating ants? You think too highly of me. I didn't do anything. If you don't believe me, you can ask your subordinates."
"Amitabha, I don't think it was you who did it, I just want to hear your opinion."
Si He smiled faintly, then looked him in the eyes and said, "You are the ones who attracted these man-eating ants."
Upon hearing this, Zang Nian looked at Si He in confusion. For some reason, when he met her eyes, a sense of vigilance arose in his heart, just like yesterday.
In the light of the fire in the distance, some light was reflected in her eyes, and it seemed as if stars fell into her eyes and twinkled, while the area around the light seemed like a deep pool, bottomless.
The next moment, Zang Nian was distracted just like he was yesterday, his eyes suddenly became dull, as if he had lost his soul.
The smile on Si He's lips deepened a little. He was in a bad state now, and was more easily bewitched by the bewitching spell in her eyes.
Since this evil monk came to her door, how could she let go of such a good opportunity?
So she started asking questions again.
The people in the distance occasionally glanced over here and saw only two people talking in low voices. Due to the distance, they could hardly hear the content of the conversation. However, the two did not seem to have any unpleasantness and seemed very calm, so they were relieved.
Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour had passed.
Si He asked many questions, even about Zang Nian's unique divination method, and then asked Zang Nian to take out his formation plate and hand it to her.
She took a look at it and accepted it with satisfaction.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Si He interrupted her control over Zang Nian.
When Zang Nian regained consciousness, he was still a little dazed. Then, he looked at Si He with a very alert look, "What did you do just now?"
He had no memory of being controlled and questioned, but now that he was awake, he could still sense something was wrong.
Was he distracted again?
This is very wrong!
He had never been in such an abnormal state of 'wandering' before!
It was like this yesterday, and it is like this again now, both times in front of her. Even if he was slow to react, he knew something was wrong!
Si He said calmly, "Master, were you distracted just now? No wonder you didn't react when I spoke."
Looking at Zang Nian's alert and somewhat angry eyes, she added, "Don't worry, if I really wanted to do something bad to you, I could have done it to you when you were distracted just now."
Hearing her say this, Zang Nian felt a little relieved. She was indeed right. If she really wanted to take action, this was a perfect opportunity. Although he didn't know how long he had been distracted?
"Then what happened to me just now? This has never happened before. I only get distracted in front of you!"
He suddenly didn't dare to look her in the eye, just like yesterday. It felt so weird!
Looking at his nervous and anxious appearance, Si He couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips again. This evil monk even called himself "I" instead of "poor monk". It seems that he is indeed a little panicked.
In fact, she had considered taking his life just now, but seeing his physical condition, she gave up the idea.
"Perhaps, Master, you haven't fully adapted to the evil spirit yet, so it's not surprising that you're distracted."
Zang Nian was half-believing and half-doubting when he saw how calm she was. Of course, this was mainly because she had every opportunity to attack him but did nothing.
Perhaps it was really the evil spirit? And she also had the evil spirit, and because they were so close, this happened?
Thinking of this, Zang Nian fell silent again and carefully felt the condition of his body. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual for the time being. After forcing out some of the evil energy, there was not much left in his body, and it was relatively easy to suppress it now.
At this moment, his attention was focused on his physical condition and he didn't notice that the formation plate had disappeared.
After a long while, Zang Nian looked up at Si He again and asked, "You said before that we attracted the man-eating ants. What did you mean?"
Zang Nian no longer bothered with her about her 'distraction' and asked the same question as before, but he still tried his best not to look her in the eyes.
Si He nodded lightly, and then looked at the fires in the distance. The burning branches were no longer branches of the honey tree, but ordinary branches without much smell. It seemed that those people also realized the reason for attracting the man-eating ants.
Zang Nian followed her gaze and heard her say, "It was you who burned the branches. The smell was so sweet. However, your men have discovered it now."
She didn't expect these man-eating ants to kill too many people, but this was just the beginning.
When everyone knew about the 'herb-collecting place', she took a different stance from everyone else since she stepped into Tianshan Mountain. If Zang Nian hadn't intentionally 'protected' her, they would have probably eaten her alive.
Of course, Zang Nian also had feelings for her, but he was a little wary and cautious. Before, hadn't he sent the condensed evil energy towards her? If she hadn't been able to catch it, the consequences could be imagined.
Therefore, the destined outcome for everyone is either you die or I live.
Zang Nian looked at some branches of honey fruit trees placed on the open space. His men did replace the burning branches, but because the two were still talking, they did not come over to report the situation immediately.
"You already knew about this?"
Hearing Zang Nian's question, Si He turned to look at him and said, "Master, please don't say such nonsense. I didn't ask you to pick up those branches."
"About Yin Sha..." He was interrupted by Si He before he could finish his words, "Master, let's talk about this later. I'm tired. I believe you're tired too, right?"
Zang Nian looked at her, thought for a while, and finally said: "Amitabha, then I won't disturb Miss Si's rest."
To be honest, he only talked to her for a few minutes and did feel a little tired. It was mainly because he had controlled the evil energy before. Even after taking the pills, his body still couldn't bear it and he really needed to regulate his breathing.
After saying this, he stood up, picked up his Zen stick, and walked towards the resting place in the distance.
At this time, Zang Nian's men had dealt with the bones, leaving only some blood stains on the ground. The air was filled with a faint complex smell, including the sour smell of man-eating ants, a burnt smell, and a stronger smell of blood.
Although Zang Nian's men have tried their best to deal with these smells, there is still a faint smell in the air. Fortunately, the wind in the forest is a bit strong tonight, which blows away the smell from time to time.
If it were daytime, they would have left immediately, but they had just experienced how dangerous the forest was after dark.
However, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
