Bai Zeqing's movement was fast and fierce. The thing was thrown in the face by the black umbrella, made a sharp cry, twisted twice, then turned into black mist and disappeared.
Bai Zeqing's hands were shaking violently, and he strained his neck to straighten the umbrella quickly, holding the handle of the umbrella tighter until his knuckles turned white.
The rain was still falling, and the tightness just now was like a sudden episode, but Bai Zeqing's back was soaked with cold sweat and rain.
She turned her neck stiffly and looked around. Black mist still enveloped the surrounding areas, and the Taoist priest was still invisible.
She flattened her mouth and wanted to cry, but she held it back and silently recited "I'm not afraid" several times in her heart!
She had just recited it five or six times when she felt something "pop" fall on the back of her neck. It should be water droplets, which were cold to the bone and slid along the bone line into her clothes.
She subconsciously turned around, and behind her was a fog so dark and thick that it was as thick as a substance. She couldn't see the end, and there was a dead silence.
snap——
Another drop of water fell and spread into the hair.
Bai Zeqing suddenly realized: She was still holding an umbrella, how could water droplets pass through the umbrella???
She raised her head——
A white face was huddled in the umbrella, wet hair hanging down, and water droplets flowing down.
Did this thing sneak in when you attacked that thing with an umbrella just now?
"ah--"
She screamed, closed the umbrella with a snap, and threw the umbrella out without caring about the Taoist priest's instructions.
The man's face was caught in the umbrella unexpectedly, and he let out a muffled exclamation. Then he threw the umbrella with his face...and he was thrown away by her.
The moment the umbrella was thrown out, the cold and damp black mist was raging, rolling towards her. Her hair and dress were blown and fluttered by the strong wind...
"It's over, it's over!" she thought desperately.
You can't throw the umbrella away. She threw it because she was too scared. Is it too late to pick it up now? But the Taoist priest said she couldn't move it.
The black mist jumped and roared, entangling her. She felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe.
The Taoist priest said that she had to take the place of the old hen and hold her eyes still so that she could not move them. If she moved, her energy would disperse.
She didn't know what would happen if the energy dissipated, but she felt like she was going to die.
The next second, she felt something shaking in her arms, and she instinctively covered it with her hands - it was a wooden sculpture. The moment she was about to suffocate, her whole body was wrapped in a warm light. It was like being held tightly by Brother Qi.
Hold tight...
The fleeting feeling disappeared in an instant, the wooden sculpture no longer vibrated, and she was once again entangled in the black energy.
"Brother Qi——" She burst into tears.
I miss Brother Qi so much. I really want to go home.
At the critical moment, Bai Zeqing's mind came to the sutra that her uncle had read before opening the thangka's eyes. She had followed it and learned it. Before she had time to think, she recited the sutra.
The feeling of oppression and suffocation was indeed relieved, but it did not last long.
The air and strength gradually left her body, and she was dragged away from the formation by the black air.
"Ugh, I'm so angry..." She thought, she can't live anymore! She refused to accept it, and there were still a lot of things that she had not done yet! She was unwilling to give up, and finally persisted until now. If she didn't want to, she might harm another person.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side, grabbed her arm, and pulled her forward, and she fell into an embrace - the hand was warm, and the embrace was also warm.
Just as Bai Zeqing was able to breathe, the faint scent of osmanthus penetrated her nose, she cried "Wow" and hugged the person in front of her tightly: "Taoist priest, you are finally here."
"Don't be afraid, the formation is complete." The Taoist priest's voice sounded low in the darkness.
Bai Zeqing walked around Zhenzhen'er's ghost gate. At this time, she hugged the Taoist priest and cried with tears. The Taoist priest's clothes were visibly wet.
The Taoist priest impatiently grabbed her by the back and tried to lift the wet thing away, but failed. So he pushed her back against her shoulder and said in a cold and disgusting tone: "Shut up! Let go!"
Bai Zeqing hurriedly suppressed her crying, and quickly released her hold on the Taoist priest, but immediately tightened the Taoist priest's cuffs with her backhand. Because she stopped crying too quickly, she started hiccupping again.
"Follow me." The Taoist priest rolled his eyes and said in a low and dull voice.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zeqing felt his eyes suddenly brighten up. The Taoist priest stepped on the seven-star Bagua array with twinkling stars, formed seals in his hands, and chanted in his mouth as the hand seals changed: All those who are facing the enemy should march forward in formation, break!
As the word "break" came out, the Taoist priest kneaded the magic formula with his hand, stretched out one finger, and a golden thread on his fingertips merged into the seven-star Bagua array. Suddenly, golden light shot up into the sky, and the entire Taoist temple was connected by a golden thread formation.
shrouded.
The seven golden stars floating in the air complemented the seven stars that were always shining faintly on the ground. The black mist was repeatedly sucked into the formation by the stars, slowly swallowed, turned into white smoke, and dissipated.
This process didn't seem scary at all, and even had an ultimate sense of beauty. But Bai Zeqing felt a terrifying scream in her ears that pierced her soul, as if it was about to tear her soul apart. She gradually lost her grip on the corner of the Taoist priest's tattered robe.
With so much strength, he finally spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The moment before she lost consciousness, she felt a hand pull her into his arms as she fell to the ground, and the faint scent of osmanthus wrapped her around her. It seemed that it was not that scary.
…
"What a troublesome thing!" The Taoist priest frowned, but did not let go. He hugged Bai Zeqing with one hand, formed a seal with the other, closed his eyes and recited a mantra.
The next moment, a gentle golden light centered on him and spread in all directions, constantly integrating into the Seven Star Bagua formation, causing the formation to tremble slightly.
At the same time, the absolute darkness around him swept towards him repeatedly. When it touched the formation, it became light and then disappeared, just like a drop of black ink dripping into the river, which was purified before it could be smudged.
These black inks were not scared away by the golden light. Instead, they gathered more and more, as if they were attracted by the formation, and more like they were actively attacking him. There were too many black inks, as if they would never end, and everything around him was gradually covered by darkness.
, sand, gravel, air, and the Seven Stars and Bagua Formation.
"There are too many grievances." The Taoist sighed.
This most absolute and pure darkness makes the light of the formation stars gradually weaken.
The blackness became even more raging, and finally stopped less than three meters away from the Taoist priest, spinning crazily but unable to move even an inch forward.
The Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, and his pupils turned light golden.
"The Supreme Majesty has given an order to transcend your lonely soul...I have just ordered you to wait for the people, and you have to be reborn. I have ordered you to wait for the people, and you have to be reborn." He read, "Go to death! Don't be trapped in a state of resentment and your soul will fly away!"
He transformed the magic formula again, and the golden light in his body exploded. His whole body stood in the center of the golden light, like a god.
"Resentment! Break!"
The golden light exploded into countless stars and flew away silently. The Seven Stars and Bagua Array shattered together with the absolute darkness and disappeared without a trace.
Only the heavy rain remains.
The resentment was broken and the evil spirits were eliminated. The Taoist priest no longer missed her. He picked up Bai Zeqing and put it in his arms. He took off his clothes that were soaked in the blink of an eye. He covered the girl in his arms with no place and walked quickly down the mountain in the heavy rain.
