After the door opened a crack large enough for one person to pass through, it did not open any further.
But the fact that the door has stopped opening does not mean that things have been contained.
As the crack in the door appeared, a haze-like black mist began to seep in from outside the door. Like a bottomless abyss, it could break through the blockade of the door at any time and swallow up everyone in the temple.
Fortunately, the supernatural power of the door itself seems to be able to barely block the spread of this black mist, so that everyone behind the door will not be overwhelmed by this cold haze in the blink of an eye.
However, although the thick black haze was temporarily blocked by the supernatural power of the door, the ghost outside the door did not seem to be so quiet.
Terrifying supernatural phenomena have invaded.
now.
Jiang Hao stared at the turbid black mist with a heavy face, and the tension in his heart rose to the extreme.
Plastic dolls were scattered on the stone tile floor in front of them. These toys, which looked no different from dolls, were all damaged in various ways, with a unique and cold supernatural atmosphere remaining on the surface.
Although the ghost controllers who stick to this place can be said to be fulfilling their duties and are already trying their best to destroy these dolls coming from outside the door, what makes them despair is that these dolls are like a flood, with no sign of stopping.
The signs kept pouring in from outside the door.
At first there was just one doll, then there were two, four, eight...
Right now, they have repelled five batches of dolls in a row.
Starting from the fourth batch of dolls, the people who threw dolls outside the door seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and could only throw in four dolls at a time.
But that doesn't mean the doll-losing ghost will stop increasing the number of dolls.
The ghost just transformed the process of throwing eight dolls at once into two batches, throwing in one batch every second, four dolls at a time.
When the number of dolls thrown behind the door reaches double the previous standard, the ghost outside the door will stop throwing dolls in.
Counting the previous dolls, there are now a total of sixty-two broken dolls lying on the ground.
Some were broken into pieces, and their original appearance could no longer be seen. Some looked like they had been touched by dirty hands, with flesh-colored skin covered with dirt. Some simply had their heads lost, or an arm was missing.
, one leg looks like it is disabled.
But this is not enough.
The fifth batch of dolls that were thrown in totaled thirty-two. However, after everyone joined forces and destroyed these dolls, not long after, the sixth batch of dolls was thrown in from outside the door.
But this time, the number of dolls everyone behind the door will face will reach an astonishing sixty-four.
"Again?!"
"How can we fight like this!"
Looking at the dolls that were thrown in first, many people’s eyelids twitched. While feeling frightened, their whole bodies trembled involuntarily. Looking at the dolls that were thrown in like trash, their expressions were full of excitement.
fear.
Sixty-four animals can be divided into twelve batches if four animals are considered as one batch.
According to the speed at which the devil outside the door was throwing away dolls, it only took twelve seconds to throw away all sixty-four dolls.
And this unreasonable stacking of numbers has also made many people feel desperate.
After continuous confrontations, everyone gradually discovered that these dolls were actually not very scary if they were looked at individually, and could be easily destroyed by the ghost controller.
However, the biggest problem right now is that if the source is not dealt with, then these dolls will keep being thrown in from outside the door, and the number each time will be exactly double that of the previous time.
Under such continuous consumption, the people behind the door will definitely be unable to bear it.
Even ghost masters who control powerful ghosts are extremely vulnerable in this continuous confrontation.
Especially since most of the people present were consumed by the door-blocking process on the first day.
This kind of consumption can be said to be large or small.
But no matter how you say it, the consumption is real, and the consumption of supernatural power will stimulate the resurrection of the evil ghost.
"This won't work. If this continues, we will definitely be killed."
A ghost controller's face was very solemn.
Hearing this, another ghost controller whose face was already ugly turned even uglier, and whispered: "Do you think we are all idiots? Do you think we can't understand the current situation? Who doesn't know that if we continue like this, we will definitely be exhausted.
The ghost outside the door, but what can you do? Is it possible that at this time you dare to rush out and imprison the ghost who threw the baby in? "
As soon as these words came out, the ghost controller who spoke first was at a loss for words. He subconsciously wanted to say something to refute, but in the end he could only get all the words stuck in his throat.
Anyone who is not an idiot can tell who has a point.
There are indeed many dangers behind the door, but compared to those outside the door, the dangers behind the door are outweighed.
In the final analysis, the supernatural phenomena that appear behind the door can only be classified as supernatural products at best, and are still far away from the real ghosts.
However, behind all the supernatural beings gathering outside the door at this moment are real ghosts.
Everyone knows that the only way to completely deal with the dolls in front of them is to suppress the ghost who threw the dolls outside the door, but the question is, among everyone present, who has this ability?
Rushing into the crowd of ghosts outside the door just to imprison a ghost is tantamount to seeking death.
"Stop arguing, those dolls' eyes started to move again."
During the conversation, the face of the ghost controller who had been paying attention to the doll changed, and he immediately reminded everyone present.
"Damn toys."
Although I know that destroying the doll is just poison to quench thirst, and at most it can only delay the outbreak of the problem, but cannot completely cure the problem, at this time, I must do whatever I can.
After all, no one wants to die immediately as long as they can survive for a while.
Immediately, amid the complaints, another ghost controller took action and disposed of some of the dolls that were thrown in first.
However, when these dolls were damaged, there was no sign of relaxation on the faces of the people behind the door. Some of them only had heavier expressions. Some people's fisted hands began to tremble, and the fear they felt in their hearts seemed to follow the movements of the dolls.
It increases and deepens, piercing the heart.
"what happened?"
Suddenly.
Just when everyone was busy dealing with the matters in front of them, an extremely unfamiliar and unimpressive voice sounded from behind Jiang Hao.
Turning around, Jiang Hao saw a man wearing a mask.
What is slightly funny is that this man wearing a mask, whose face and expression cannot be seen clearly, is carrying a paper man riding a paper horse.
Behind the man, there was also a group of ghost masters. These ghost masters were all the ghost masters who had originally stayed in the main hall. Three of them were also temporarily captured as coolies, each carrying a paper corpse on their shoulders.
people.
"Team Li?"
Through the mask that originally belonged to him on the man's face, Jiang Hao instantly recognized the man's identity.
Then, he immediately briefly described the situation here.
Although the ghost who lost the doll outside the door is dangerous, it is precisely because it takes time to lose the doll, so Jiang Hao can also have sufficient time to brief the story.
"Has the ghost come near yet?"
Li Leping narrowed his eyes and looked at the crack in the open door.
It was pitch dark outside, and the thick black mist seemed to be spreading in. However, thanks to the strong door, the ghosts outside could not break through it.
But what is worrying is that even though the ghost has not actually entered the temple, there are already endless signs of weirdness outside the door.
"There are many supernatural movements outside the door, but there is only one supernatural phenomenon that actually breaks through the door?"
Suddenly, Li Leping looked at the plastic dolls being thrown in one after another, as if he thought of something.
"What's wrong, Captain Li? Is there any problem?" Jiang Hao asked doubtfully.
"It's just a guess whether the process of throwing the doll was arranged in advance. After all, if there is a scary enough ghost covering an area, then the ghost's supernatural powers may prevent other ghosts from invading and prevent other evil ghosts from invading.
Come closer."
Li Leping felt that the danger outside the door might not be the real danger, but might even be a very extreme protective measure.
Analyzed from various angles, if ghosts already have the ability to infiltrate temples, then why have only such a group of dolls with extremely low levels of terror been thrown in so far?
Where are the other ghosts?
Even before Li Leping arrived without anyone, there were more than a dozen ghost masters standing guard behind the door. With such a large number of people, it was impossible for just one ghost to trigger his murderous pattern.
There must be many ghosts whose killing patterns have been triggered, but for some reason, they are like the black mist that fills the gap in the door, never getting in.
"It's kind of like a barrier?"
Jiang Hao's eyes moved, and he suddenly thought of a process in the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
In some places, a boundary ceremony will be held on the third day of the Dharma assembly, that is, before the talisman is issued and the flags are hung. The ceremony requires the setting up of an invisible barrier in the Dharma assembly area to isolate the interior from the outside world, without interference, and without any interference.
Violate.
Now that I think about it, is this process of losing the doll a kind of barrier?
However, the current barrier was not made by people like them in the temple, but by a ghost. Moreover, this barrier method is obviously very deadly. If you are not careful in using a ghost to control a ghost, the result will be
Anyone alive within the boundary will be killed.
"Maybe."
Li Leping did not deny it.
He had heard Jiang Hao mention the various processes of various land and water pujas, and also knew about the process of forming a barrier during the puja. However, he had not seen any signs of the need for barriers today from various objects in the temple before.
In many places in the world, the sprinkling ceremony on the first day is directly regarded as a barrier, so let’s regard the sprinkling ceremony as a barrier for the time being.
As for whether the ghost throwing the doll now represents a barrier?
Who knows?
Maybe he was overthinking it, or maybe it was the temple's advance arrangements.
"Let's not talk about it for now. What's going on with these paper figures?"
Jiang Hao didn't worry too much about a ceremony. After all, even if there was a boundary ceremony, looking at the current situation, they didn't need to worry about this ceremony.
What they need to worry about is hair charms and hanging flags.
According to previous discussions, the talisman issuing ceremony should be closely related to these four paper figures.
But looking at the motionless paper figures carried on the shoulders of Li Leping and others, it was obvious that the talisman-issuing ceremony had not officially begun yet.
"I suspect that these paper figures are involved in the supernatural, so if you want to make them move, you can't just wait for the third day, but you also need to give them some external stimulation."
Li Leping looked at the paper man on his shoulders, looked at the pair of drawn paper eyes that looked somewhat lifelike, and explained.
Jiang Hao couldn't help but be startled when he heard this word: "External stimulation?"
What is external stimulation?
What answered him was Li Leping's actual actions.
"Since these paper figures are related to supernatural beings, they will definitely be affected by other supernatural things."
As Li Leping spoke, he took out a round gold bar.
However, when he uncovered the "gold bar", not only Jiang Hao, but also the other ghost masters who were quietly looking here moved their eyes and recognized what was wrapped under the gold foil.
"Ghost Candle?!"
Several ghost masters murmured, obviously recognizing this thing.
Although ghost candles are priceless supernatural props in the supernatural circle, most of the people present have been involved in the supernatural circle for a while. For props like ghost candles that can be used without any cost and have significant effects, how much
It's been heard.
However, what made everyone feel extremely horrified was that the ghost candle Li Leping took out was not red, but white, just like the candles used during funerals.
"Captain Li, this is the white ghost candle."
The moment he saw the white candle, Jiang Hao's eyes narrowed, and then his tone seemed to remind Li Leping.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In addition, other ghost masters who recognized Guizhu also started chattering while handling the doll, with a little expression on their dead-like faces.
Panic, as if Li Leping was holding a big bomb that would blow up everyone.
Those who didn't know better thought that Li Leping took the wrong candle. Because the situation was so critical, he couldn't see the color clearly for a while.
After the red ghost candle is lit, it can prevent people from being killed by ghosts, while the white ghost candle has the opposite effect and can attract ghosts.
"I know."
However, Li Leping looked calm and said there was nothing wrong with his eyes.
"Do you want to use the white ghost candle's ability to attract ghosts to motivate these four paper figures to move?"
soon.
Jiang Hao realized what Li Leping was thinking.
But he also knew the danger of doing so. He reached out and pressed Li Leping's particularly cold wrist, indicating that Li Leping needed to think twice before he acted: "But if you do this, not only will you attract these paper figures, but the ghosts outside the door will also
Attracted."
This is what Jiang Hao is most worried about.
Although after the door opened, some ghosts did approach.
But these ghosts approaching are definitely not all the ghosts outside the courtyard. More ghosts are either on the way, or have not been really attracted.
If all the ghosts can be attracted by opening a small crack in the door, then why bother with the ceremony of issuing charms and hanging flags?
But what if Li Leping took the initiative to light a white ghost candle at this time?
Then the problem is uncontrollable.
It is conceivable that these paper figures, which are obviously made by supernatural beings when touched, will be activated by ghost candles.
But the problem is that these four paper figures are definitely not the only ones being mobilized.
The evil ghosts wandering outside the door will definitely be attracted at this time.
You can question the durability of the red ghost candle in supernatural attacks, but no one can doubt the ability of the white ghost candle to attract ghosts.
Especially Jiang Hao, he can be said to know the effect of the white ghost candle best.
The idea of lighting a white ghost candle to attract ghosts is obviously too dangerous and too unstable.
