176 Can’t Cross This Enchantment
Dong Xi returned to the little girl’s side. Dong Xi asked, “What’s wrong? You didn’t expect to be able to come out?”
The little girl nodded and said seriously, “Yeah, I’ve tried it before, but I couldn’t get past the barrier.”
“A barrier?” Dong Xi asked, puzzled.
Dong Xi’s sharp eyes found the main point. A thought suddenly came to her mind. It was not that the little willow spirit could not get out of her main body, but it was this barrier that was stopping her from getting out, right?
“Could it be that you didn’t make this barrier?” asked Dong Xi.
“No!” The little girl shook her head and said. “It’s the barrier that Ah Leng set up.”
Dong Xi continued to ask, “Ah Leng? Is she also a demon?”
The little girl nodded with a serious expression and said to Dong Xi, “That’s right, Ah Leng is also a demon!”
Dong Xi did not interrupt the little girl’s speech and listened to her.
The little girl’s name was Liu Qing, and she had a good friend who was Ah Leng.
Ah Leng was a water demon and lived in the well next to it.
Liu Qing said, “This barrier was set up by Ah Leng. He just doesn’t want those people to go out. However, those people have reaped what they sowed!”
“Ah?” Dong Xi asked. “What have they done?”
Liu Qing said angrily, “These people begged Ah Leng to come over! However, he got someone to seal Ah Leng in the well, and Ah Leng was completely unable to leave!”
Dong Xi continued to ask, “Then Ah Leng should have been in the well for a long time, right? Why did he only set up a barrier for the village in the last few months?”
Liu Qing’s cute face was filled with disgust. He frowned and said, “I was playing with Ah Leng and there was some movement. Coincidentally, a Daoist priest came that day and told the villagers that I had become a demon. These people wanted to find someone to cut off my original body. If my original body died, I wouldn’t be able to live. Of course, Ah Leng was unwilling, so he trapped these people!”
Dong Xi also understood what was going on. She said, “If I have a way to take your main body and leave, will that work?”
“Can you really take it away?” Liu Qing asked in surprise.
Then, Liu Qing frowned and said, “No, I can’t leave. If I leave, Ah Leng will be left alone. She has been lonely for many years.”
Dong Xi pondered for a moment. Dong Xi said, “Let’s go and take a look. I might be able to open the seal in the well.”
With that, Dong Xi walked towards the village entrance.
Liu Qing looked at Dong Xi’s back, her anger dissipating as she followed behind Dong Xi.
Dong Xi came to the mouth of the well. The well was pressed with a large bluestone, and nothing could be seen with the naked eye.
Dong Xi shot out a beam of spiritual Qi and saw that white talismans had appeared on the bluestone at the mouth of the well. At this moment, Liu Qing came over, looked at the bluestone, and said, “This is the reason why Ah Leng is trapped!
Dong Xi had not learned any formation techniques, so it was impossible to remove it. There was only one way to break the formation.
Dong Xi took out the Purple Jade Sword and looked at Liu Qing. Dong Xi said, “Little Qing, hide further away.”
Dong Xi said as she raised the sword in her hand.
“Ah Leng, hide well!” Liu Qing immediately shouted at the well.
Just as Dong Xi was about to slash down with his sword, the dim runes on the well flickered, and a graceful figure appeared in front of Dong Xi.
“Little Qing, what are you guys doing?” the woman asked immediately.
The woman who had suddenly appeared looked to be in her twenties. Her hair was pinned up by a willow tree, leaving a lock of hair on one side to her chest. She also spoke very gently.
Liu Qing ran over happily and held the woman’s hand. He said happily, “Ah Leng, Xiaoxi said she wanted to save you.”
Ah Leng looked at the young girl holding the sword and realized that she could not see through Dong Xi’s cultivation at all. However, Dong Xi only looked like she was 11 years old.
Ah Leng sighed. “This formation was set up by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. She could not break it by force.”
Nascent Soul stage? Dong Xi frowned. If it was really set by a Nascent Soul expert, Dong Xi would not be able to break this formation.
Seeing Dong Xi frowning, Ah Leng smiled and said with a calm expression, “Thank you for being willing to help me. I’ll be fine.”
After saying that, Ah Leng looked at Liu Qing and frowned. Ah Leng said worriedly, “I’m just worried about Little Qing. These people want to cut down the willow tree. You should have a way to help her, right?”
Dong Xi raised her hand and drew Ground Prison for the willow tree. Dong Xi said, “My cultivation level is not high enough, so the sect only sent me here to investigate. When I return, I’ll ask my Senior Brother to come and help you.”
Ah Leng bowed to Dong Xi and said, “Thank you, Fairy.”
Dong Xi thought of the formation at the mouth of the well and felt that it was better to be clear so as to avoid doing bad things with good intentions. Dong Xi asked, “Ah Leng, do you remember who sealed you here back then?”
