Chapter 1071: Rain Lantern Demon
After the three of us returned to the fence yard, we saw a row of new footprints coming from the fence door, and the door of the house was opened, which made us suck. After we just left, someone came again, maybe still in the house. We immediately tensed up and guessed that it was very likely that Xiao Lu had come.
Lao Cao and we winked, and let the dead girl and I spread to both sides. He held the flashlight with his left hand and reached into his bag with his right hand. He slipped to the left, and the dead girl went east, but we saw the room with the light, and the corpse disappeared. Lao Cao rushed to the door a few steps, and suddenly pulled the green onion in a dry land, jumped upside down, and hooked the eaves. At the same time, he took the flashlight to see every corner of the room clearly.
"No one!" Old Cao said relievedly, but as soon as he finished speaking, the eaves collapsed, and Old Cao fell head down and he fell into the mud.
My dead girl and I hurriedly called out, "Is it okay?" We quickly ran to the front and helped him up from the mud.
The old man wiped the mud on his face and looked up at the rotten eaves rafters. How could he withstand his weight of about 200 kilograms? He thought someone sneaked up on it and fell down, so he plunged into the mud. We helped him into the house, which was empty and the body was gone, and no footprints were left. It seemed that the person who came did not enter the house at all. He used a rope to cover the neck of the dead body, dragged it out of the door, and then left quickly.
"Xiao Lu is covering up the evidence of soul loss. She used a red light to lead us into the woods and then took the corpse away and destroyed it." The dead girl said depressedly.
I sat on the ground and gasped and said, "But with her ability, she has enough chance to kill us. Why didn't she confront us head-on in person?"
"She may be jealous of me?" The old boy was very arrogant, but it was not impossible.
The dead girl shook her head: "Xiao Lu's body movement shocked the world and was so touching that ghosts and gods are unique in the world. She is now fleeing to pursue the underworld, so why dare to expose her skills? She is very clear about the ability of night travel. She is afraid that after using the ghostly body movement, she will be found out by the underworld and will lose her soul again, unless it will be tomorrow."
Her explanation makes sense. You should not lose your soul too frequently, especially twice in the same day, otherwise there may be a mistake, causing your soul to be scattered. If Xiao Lu uses magical skills, he may not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the underworld. He has lost his soul once today, so he dare not confront us head-on.
We were relieved. As long as she didn't take action, no matter what powerful evil spirits she used, the three of us would have nothing to be afraid of when we joined forces. That would be awesome in the world.
But it was raining so heavily, it was not easy to find her trace in the village. Maybe she would hit her trick. After we discussed it, we could only hold it back for the time being and wait until the rain stopped. It would be better to go to the village to look for it after dawn. The dead girl slept well in the underworld without sleep. Lao Cao and I were running around for days and didn't sleep much. She let her stand guard, and we both slept against the wall.
He was sleeping in a daze and was woken up by the dead girl. Old Cao was rubbing his eyes and looking out the window. The rain was still falling, and the red light appeared strangely again, floating in the yard, emitting a mysterious and gloomy red light.
Lao Cao snorted coldly and said, "It seems that we have guessed well. She won't allow us to live until dawn. But it depends on whether this lantern ghost has the ability."
Now he is the only one with a full set of equipment on his body. We both just resurrected and had nothing on them.
The dead girl frowned, with a worried look in her eyes. She pondered for a while and said, "I remember in the ancient book of the female devil, I saw a record about the red lights on the rainy night. It is called the 'Rain Lantern Demon'. It is said that before she died, she had a huge resentment and died under the red lantern. At that time, she was in heavy rain and merged into the lantern with the turbid air of heaven and earth and turned into a demon. This kind of ghost itself is not very capable, but with the two strong barriers of night rain and lanterns, it is difficult for any spell to penetrate. I am afraid that the psychic technique will have to reach the ninth level before it can penetrate deep into the depths and peel off its ghost skin."
Damn, there is also this rare breed? That's even more awesome than ghosts!
Lao Cao also knocked on the forehead and said, "I remembered that the rain lamp demon is the product of the turbid air of heaven and earth. It has exceeded the power of the ghost itself. This time we met a strong enemy. But there is a way to block its attack. As soon as the rain stops, it will disappear." As he said that, he took out a wallpaper knife from his bag, got up and lay on the windowsill, and used the tip of the knife to squeak the pattern on the glass.
I looked at the red lantern outside and didn't move for a moment, so I asked Lao Cao: "What are you painting?"
"Draw lanterns!" Lao Cao said, explaining to both of us that the rain lamp demon is afraid of white lanterns, and it is best to use white paper for funerals. Hanging it on the door at night can make it blind. It cannot see things, so it can only leave. We have no white paper or white paint. Drawing two lanterns on the glass is like white, which should have some effect.
It just so happened that Lao Cao had carved a pair of lanterns on the glass. The strange red light outside trembled and floated back and forth in the rain, as if it had become blind and could not find the way. Unexpectedly, it was just such a simple method to crack the Rain Light Demon. I smiled and said, "This thing is too cowardly, it is not as magical as you said."
Lao Cao and the dead girl shook their heads at the same time, their faces were very serious, and they all stared at the red light without saying anything. Only then did I realize that the dead thing was not as cowardly as I imagined, just see what changes would happen next.
"Cao Yingfei..." Suddenly, a hypnotic but very gloomy woman's voice floated into our ears.
The three of us were shocked at the same time. They knew our name. Did Xiao Lu tell it or calculated it by himself? Old Cao shook his head suddenly, his eyes staring out the window with a dull look out of the window, and he opened his mouth before he wanted to speak. The dead girl quickly covered his mouth. She said to me at the same time: "Light a few straws and put them behind the glass."
I understood what it meant, and the white lantern was also about to light it, so I turned around and grabbed a handful of straw, but there was no lighter on my body. I searched in Lao Cao's bag again. At this moment, Lao Cao forced the girl's hand to slam and shouted, "Here!"
A bright red light flashed on the red lantern, dazzling in a rainy night, forming an arrow and shooting towards the window.
I couldn't help but open my mouth wide in shock. This is not earth fire, right? His uncle, why can't I find a lighter in my bag? I didn't care about so many things at this moment. I bit my finger and lit it on the center of the lantern on the left side of the glass. This was purely a subconscious action, and I didn't know whether it was useful or not.
A burning feeling penetrated through my fingertips, as if it was being scorched by a red soldering iron. The pain made me feel cold sweat in my body. I couldn't help it anymore, so I hurriedly pulled my finger back. Fortunately, this little yang blood still worked and forced the opponent's rocket back. At the same time, Lao Cao shook his head again and woke up.
He immediately guessed what had just happened, and hurriedly took out a fire knife and a living stone from his bag, lit the fire, and placed the straw in my hand behind the glass.
