The dark figure pushed open the outer door of the villa and entered the house, then walked straight towards us, apparently wanting to go to the second floor.
I held back my nervousness and watched his steps getting closer.
Five meters...four meters...three meters...two meters...one meter...
"Do it!"
I shouted, Mr. Xue, Lin Gang, and the rest of us all started to rush towards that figure!
A few of us put the ropes in our hands and randomly put them on the figure, intending to control him first!
Unexpectedly, that person reacted so quickly, as if he knew in advance that we were ambush here. One kite turned over, and then the other rolled on the spot, easily evading our siege.
Before I had time to react, a huge force suddenly came from my body. I couldn't stand upright. I took several steps backwards with a bang, and I didn't stop until I hit the wall. I fell to the ground, feeling severe pain all over my body, like
It's like it's falling apart.
Xue Er and the others were no better than me. They were staggering around one by one, but that figure single-handedly knocked them all down!
What an amazing skill!
Even though I was prepared in my heart and knew that this person might be very skilled and difficult to deal with, I still underestimated him. I didn’t expect that even the few of us together would be no match for him!
I staggered to my feet and fumbled to turn on the light.
The hall on the first floor suddenly lit up. Through the light, I could see Xue Er covering his crotch and rolling back and forth on the ground. Xue Goudaner covered his head and squatted on the ground with blood dripping from his nose. Lin Gang leaned against
He was slumped on the ground leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. He didn't know if he had fainted. A group of people were all exhausted...
I glanced back and forth, trying to find the culprit.
I saw a thin figure sitting on the steps of the stairs. He looked quite young, probably in his twenties. He was holding a pear in his hand and was biting it until his mouth was full of juice.
What I didn't expect was that this young man was dressed in Taoist robes and was obviously a Taoist priest!
I suddenly understood that he was probably the Taoist priest Wang Long paid to help Wang Long suppress Li Xiao'e's body.
Maybe because he saw me staring at him, he finished the pear in two or two mouthfuls and even swallowed the pear core. He rubbed his backhand hard against the monk's robe, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and waved to me, meaning that he wanted me to come over and talk.
I was a little afraid of him and couldn't figure out what he meant by looking for me. At this moment, my body was hurting terribly. I gritted my teeth and rubbed the sore parts of my body vigorously, and limped towards him.
He reached out and patted the steps beside him, signaling for me to sit down.
"Tell me, why did you want to ambush me? If I guessed correctly, those people who chased me on the mountain last night were also you, right? If I hadn't had other important things to attend to at the time, I wouldn't have wanted to
If I quarreled with you, I would have put you down long ago."
The Taoist priest lowered his head and picked at his nails and asked me casually, as if he didn't pay attention to us at all.
"You were obviously the one who committed the evil in the first place and helped Wang Long persecute Li Xiao'e. Why do you say that we are not the ones?"
After listening to what the Taoist priest in front of me said and seeing his attitude, I couldn't help but feel angry.
"Oh? I did something evil? Tell me about it!"
The Taoist priest looked up at me, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't remember anything about what he had done!
"Okay, let me ask you, Wang Long stabbed his wife Li Xiao'e to death with a butcher's knife, and chopped her into pieces cruelly. He was afraid that Li Xiao'e would turn into a ghost and seek revenge on him, so he got a peach wood box, a Bagua formation, and a lightning strike wood
, and even chose to bury her without mercy, causing her to never be reborn again! Do you dare to say that all this has nothing to do with you?"
I looked into the Taoist priest's eyes and asked.
"What did you say? Li Xiao'e was killed by Wang Long? Is this true? This damn Wang Long, he told me that Li Xiao'e was stabbed to death by a man named Gang. He said that the man couldn't love Li Xiao'e.
, became angry and killed her in a rage!"
The young Taoist priest stood up. He didn't look like he was pretending. He must have been deceived by Wang Long!
He turned around to go upstairs, but after not taking two steps, he returned and sat down, looked at me and asked, "I think you are blessed with immortality and you should have some abilities. Since you are here, it means that Wang Long has already done this."
Have you paid the price?"
"Well, Wang Long has already surrendered. You helped Wang Long get the peach wood box, the Bagua array, and the lightning strike wood, right?"
I stared at the Taoist priest in front of me and asked, trying to confirm whether he was the accomplice.
"Well, those things are only for suppressing corpses, not for suppressing the souls of the dead. The soul of Li Xiao'e is not in them."
"Remove the corpse? Li Xiao'e's body was broken into a pile, how can it be recovered?" I was a little surprised when I heard what the young Taoist priest said, and I couldn't figure out what was going on.
"It's not necessary to raise the body. I'm afraid that Li Xiao'e's soul will return. If she returns to the grave, she will be nourished by the evil spirit even more fiercely, and then she will be in trouble!"
That’s it! Let me tell you, why can’t I find the female ghost in red in Li Xiao’e’s tomb bag? She was never inside.
It seems that the female ghost in red that Li Xiao'e transformed into was not released because Xue Goudan'er stepped on the grave, but was not in it from the beginning. It was just a coincidence that she possessed Xue Goudan'er.
.
"What do you mean by coming here?"
I looked at the young Taoist priest in front of me and asked.
"Well, I'm here to get some food. I haven't eaten anything all day, and I have to go into the mountains at night. There's something wrong in the mountains. I have to go take a look."
"Are they those ghosts?"
"Have you discovered it too? That's just right, let's go and have a look together!"
The young Taoist priest grinned at me, and I suddenly felt that he wasn't that annoying after all. He didn't look like a bad person. He must have been deceived by Wang Long.
We walked around the house, found a lot of delicious food, and gathered around to eat something.
Xue Er looked at the young Taoist priest with an unfriendly look. He was slightly resentful, but he didn't dare to say anything. Maybe it was because he kicked him in the crotch during the fight before.
We hurriedly filled our bellies and set off towards the mountains. Xue Er's walking posture was not right, his pockets were bulging, and he didn't know what he was hiding. I glared at him and didn't bother to care.
he.
It was completely dark now, and the moon climbed up to the treetops. They say that the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, and it is indeed true. The round moon is like a white jade plate, bright and flawless, hanging in the sky, casting down
A large piece of cool light casts a layer of clear light on the earth.
I asked the young Taoist priest, if the mountains are so big, where should we go?
He said that he would go to the forest last night, where the ghosts disappeared, and he also felt that something was different in that forest, and there was probably something strange about it!
By the time a group of us arrived at the forest, it was almost midnight. The big white fox came out of the grass nest and nuzzled me affectionately. It seemed that it had known that we would come here and was waiting here in advance.
Already.
The young Taoist priest took out a few small apricot-colored flags from his pocket, threw them away easily, and arranged them evenly around us.
Then he squeezed the seal and murmured words, and the apricot-colored flags suddenly rose from the ground, hung in the air, quickly rotated around the few of us, turned into afterimages, and finally disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, I clearly felt that there was a faint fluctuation around us, and it seemed that the surrounding air became a little different.
"This is the invisible formation. It can help us hide our aura, so we don't have to bump into those ghosts and scare them away."
The young Taoist priest looked at us with confused looks and explained to us. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and took a nap.
I had slept enough in the afternoon and was not sleepy now, so I simply squatted on the ground and looked around.
After waiting for a while, it should be time to get ready.
I looked at a thin layer of fog forming nearby, hazy, like a fairyland against the moonlight.
Immediately afterwards, the layer of fog quickly gathered together, converging into faint body shapes, and then slowly solidified, turning into gloomy and terrifying faces!
The ghost appears!
This group of ghosts was obviously much larger than the group last night, with hundreds of them in total.
I scanned carefully several times, but for some reason I couldn't find the female ghost in red.
Where has she gone?
Looking at the group of ghosts, they were not as hurried as last night. They gathered in groups of twos and threes and wandered around, seemingly looking for something.
Several ghosts actually came over and wandered around our hiding places. One even stretched out its half-rotted paws, drooped its head with little flesh left, and groped towards us. I don't know.
Did you notice something? Fortunately, it fumbled a few times and left without getting too entangled.
The second master Xue and Lin Gang were so frightened that they were trembling all over. Fortunately, I stopped them in time, otherwise they would have had to scream.
I just wanted to wake up the young Taoist priest and ask him what he plans to do next.
Before my hand even touched him, I was so frightened that I quickly retracted it.
I saw that around the hill where we were, there were densely packed ghosts. It was like a collective meeting in the village. Hundreds of ghosts gathered together. I even saw Sun Changshan inside, but his eyes were
Sluggish, with no spiritual awareness at first sight.
Among the group of ghosts, I found the figure of the female ghost in red.
The young Taoist priest woke up without me shouting, stood up, stretched his waist, raised his eyes and looked around.
Buzz~
A faint wave of energy spread out from the forest in front of me, as if something had opened...
The young Taoist priest casually took out a handful of talismans and gave them to each of us, letting us stick them on our bodies. He said that these were "sun-shielding talismans" that could temporarily cover our yang energy. After a while, he blended into the group of ghosts and went into the forest.
Let's see what's going on.
Mr. Xue was obviously a little scared and didn't want to go into the forest with us, so he asked us if we could wait here. I thought about it. If they were scared, something bad would happen.
While talking, the group of ghosts couldn't hold it any longer and began to move into the strange woods.
Lin Gang obviously saw the female ghost in red that Li Xiao'e transformed into, and insisted on coming with us.
The three of us put "sunshielding charms" on our bodies, blended into the group of ghosts, and set off towards the woods!
