Li Leping, who had closed the door alone, turned around, glanced at Jiang Hao, and then recounted everything he had just encountered outside.
"Claw machine, light that takes away perception, hands covered in paint?"
After hearing about Li Leping's previous thrilling experience, Jiang Hao's expression changed and he felt inexplicably horrified.
When the door was opened before, he also vaguely glimpsed traces of the existence of these ghosts.
However, he never imagined that these ghosts could be so ferocious.
Especially after hearing Li Leping talk about the countless evil ghosts outside, Jiang Hao's expression could be said to be extremely bad.
"The reason why the talisman was issued should be to disperse the gathered ghosts. I felt it when I was outside. The paper figures dispersed in four directions after leaving the temple, and the ghosts gathered outside also temporarily followed different paper figures.
Stay away from here.”
Li Leping recalled what he saw and heard outside after the sleepwalker recovered.
After the paint on the body was repelled from the source of the evil ghost, it was naturally impossible to continue to suppress the sleepwalking ghost in the darkness.
When the sleepwalking ghost got rid of the paint restrictions on his body, Li Leping immediately returned to the sleepwalking ghost's body. This was not only to prevent the sleepwalking ghost's body from getting rid of the supernatural influence of the forgotten ghost, but also to confirm the situation in the darkness as soon as possible.
The ghosts that can wander in the dark can be said to walk with the night, and can easily understand all the movements in the darkness. Only under stronger supernatural interference will the sleepwalking ghost's induction become ineffective.
"Anyway, it's okay. Now it's time to think about hanging the flags."
After hearing that Li Gui had been attracted by the messenger and dispersed, Jiang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention back to thinking about what to do next.
According to speculation, the ceremony to be performed today is most likely to issue talismans and hang flags.
Now that the talisman-issuing ceremony has been confirmed, the accompanying flag-hanging ceremony must also be carried out.
"Maybe, there's no need to think about it anymore."
Suddenly, Li Leping looked calm and said something like this that made Jiang Hao a little confused.
"What?" Jiang Hao asked subconsciously.
Li Leping did not answer, but silently stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.
And when Jiang Hao turned around and looked in the direction of his finger.
"how come?"
Jiang Hao's eyes suddenly shrank and he looked at one place in disbelief.
After seeing Li Leping raising his hand and pointing like this, many people also looked over.
And their eyes suddenly became almost the same as Jiang Hao's, and they all looked at that place in disbelief.
That's to the left of the temple.
Originally there was a bamboo planted there.
The color of this bamboo was abnormally dark, as if it was sick, but it did not die, but grew to a height of about fifteen meters.
With such a unique advantage, this blackened bamboo can be said to be the most conspicuous thing in the entire temple after the main hall.
And the most surprising thing is that this bamboo should have some special connection with the bamboo forest behind the temple. Just touch this bamboo lightly, and people will be transported to the open space in the bamboo forest.
But right now.
This mysterious bamboo, which was planted by someone unknown, seemed to be pressed hard by an invisible hand, bending down silently, showing a bent state.
But this bizarre scene was not noticed by everyone just now.
Because everyone was paying close attention to the situation at the door just now. When there is a ghost outside the door, who would have the intention to look back at the bamboo that did not show any threat for the time being?
Under such circumstances, the bamboo bent over without anyone noticing.
“Hanging flags… hanging flags… When hanging flags, you must have both flags and poles to hang them.”
Li Leping looked at the bamboo that had been bent to the limit, and the end of the bamboo was about to touch the ground, as if it would snap if he exerted just a little more force, and he had a vague suspicion in his mind.
On the side, Jiang Hao also recovered from the shock, his eyes flickered a few times, and he also understood what Li Leping meant.
Isn't this bent bamboo just a ready-made pole for hanging flags?
At this moment, he took off the gray Haiqing draped on his body without hesitation.
"Hang the ghost-calling flag on this bamboo, and the ghost flag can take advantage of the height and see outside the temple unobstructed."
Li Leping didn't need to explain. Jiang Hao had already analyzed how to carry out the flag hanging ceremony in this temple.
"etc."
Just when Jiang Hao was about to try, Li Leping stopped him with a horizontal arm: "What time is it now?"
"According to Thai time, it's not yet one o'clock in the morning." Jiang Hao looked at the time and then replied.
Although a lot of things happened in less than an hour, the actual time that passed was not very long, but the thrilling process always gave people the illusion that time passed very quickly.
"Don't worry, it's still early. The messenger has just lured the ghost away. Hanging the flags immediately at this time may cause problems."
After hearing the time, Li Leping shook his head and signaled to Jiang Hao that there was no need to hang the ghost-calling flag now.
The talisman-issuing ceremony had just been completed, and not long after the paper figurine left the temple with the "talisman ultimatum".
In this case, if you hang up the ghost-calling flag immediately, you might attract all four "messengers" or the ghosts behind them.
"But what if the bamboo goes straight back again?"
Jiang Hao did not object, but expressed his doubts.
The curvature of this bamboo is obviously abnormal. If it were a normal bamboo, it would have been completely broken.
In other words, this curved arc must be caused by supernatural power.
If it is influenced by supernatural power, it means that the influence of this power may disappear at any time.
Once it disappears and the bamboo goes straight back, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity to hang the flag?
"Don't worry about this kind of thing. There should be some signs before the bamboo stands back up again. Even if it does return to its original state instantly, I can still force the ghost-calling flag to be hung up."
Li Leping's voice was indifferent and revealed a kind of confidence.
"All right."
Hearing this, Jiang Hao did not object and just asked: "Then when do you plan to hang the flags?"
"Like this at ten o'clock in the evening." Li Leping replied.
Jiang Hao estimated the time and was a little surprised: "So late?"
You know, it's not even one o'clock in the morning.
Hanging the flags at ten o'clock in the evening means that the bamboo will continue to bend for more than twenty hours.
"There is no need to worry about whether it will be too late. I think this is the safest time. It is close to the fourth day and there is no buffer time at all." Li Leping said.
"Okay, let's do it like this."
Jiang Hao nodded, then found a place nearby to sit down, waiting for the time to arrive at the designated time slot.
