He pulled off his Taoist robe and wrapped it around her head, but it was already too late. Liu Qingluo's vision suddenly split into two. On one side was a gloomy red sedan, and on the other side was a boudoir brightly lit with candles. There are two women in wedding dresses sitting in front of the bronze mirror. One is combing the other's hair. The teeth of the comb are covered with green silk. Every time she combs, it brings up strands of blood. "Sister, the auspicious time has come." "Liu Qingluo" in the mirror said softly, and the comb in her hand suddenly turned into a pair of scissors. In reality, Liu Qingluo let out an inhuman scream, her left eye turned completely black, and dense spells appeared under her skin. What's even more frightening is that her right hand raised uncontrollably, and her fingers turned into claws, grabbing straight at her left eye! Qiu Wuya grabbed her wrist, but what he touched was cold rigor mortis. He bit off his middle finger and drew a blood talisman between Liu Qingluo's eyebrows. As soon as the talisman was formed, green smoke erupted and turned into blackened ashes. Suddenly there was no wind and the curtain of the red sedan moved automatically.
