It was gray outside the open door. Although it was not the kind of darkness where you couldn't see your fingers, the haze formed by the thick fog was like an abyss with no edges, like the entrance to hell. Anyone who mistakenly entered it would be trapped.
The cold aura enveloped him instantly, and then he was lost in the gray mist.
After briefly glancing at the situation outside the door, Li Leping quickly threw the body he brought outside the door.
The dead body flew out, and after submerging into the thick gray fog, it seemed as if it had completely disappeared. Not even the sound of landing was heard, and there was no movement at all.
It seems that there is another world outside the gate now, completely isolated from the temple. Of course, the two people inside the temple cannot see clearly what is going on in the other world.
This gray haze has always been a huge boulder that has accumulated in Li Leping's heart. He knows exactly what this thick fog that diffuses outside contains.
Two terrifying supernatural beings are confronting each other in the thick fog. Although one of them will be suppressed after constant confrontation, the other will grow more terrifying as a result.
Under the premise that the bamboo forest has the ability to absorb ghosts and controls the supernatural power of the ghost swamp, no matter who is the winner after this confrontation, the supernatural powers in the bamboo forest and the thick fog will be merged together.
Therefore, rather than saying that what is going on outside the door is a confrontation, it is better to say that a more terrifying evil ghost is brewing.
As time goes by, this ghost that combines the two supernatural powers of bamboo forest and dense fog will definitely invade this temple.
"Gotta speed up."
Li Leping knew not to spend too much time on sending away the ghost. His ghost smoke was released again, covering the back door to the main hall, like a connecting passage, connecting the back door and the main hall.
.
He wanted to send away all the ghosts in the temple as quickly as possible, and then immediately go study the red coffin.
He was very sure that the color of this coffin was completely different from the other two coffins. It seemed that the coffin with different meanings must have an extremely important role and could even be the life path of the three of them.
Soon, under the cover of ghost smoke.
One by one, the fierce ghosts were sent into the world outside the back door by the ghost realm and disappeared.
"They were all sent away."
Looking at the rapidly decreasing number of ghosts in the temple, Jiang Hao just breathed a sigh of relief, his heart still lifted.
Sending away the ghosts in the temple only temporarily solved the hidden dangers in the temple, but whether you can survive today still depends on how to deal with the supernatural beings from outside.
"Follow me to the main hall. The release of animals and flames on the seventh day should have been completed, and now it should be the eighth day."
After clearing away the evil spirits in the temple, Li Leping immediately turned around and prepared to leave the back door.
In his opinion, with all the ghosts brought back by the four envoys being dealt with, the first seven days of the eight-day ceremony should have been completely completed.
The signal for the start of the eighth day actually comes from the dangerous backdoor that may break out at any time.
If the hidden dangers of the back door are not dealt with, people like them will still die.
But, he just turned around.
Suddenly.
An inexplicable chill came from behind.
This made him stop and look back subconsciously.
There was still a gray haze floating outside the door, and it seemed to be the same as before, with no special changes.
However, if you look closely, you will find that there seem to be some inconspicuous, but very creepy changes in the depths of the thick fog.
The color of the fog is gradually changing.
It was as if a few drops of black ink were suddenly mixed into the gray tones, and the depths of the dense fog gradually turned from gray to dark.
This color change phenomenon is still intensifying, just like a tank of water dyed black by ink, gradually spreading from the inside to the outside.
It was during this change of tone that something strange appeared faintly in the haze that slowly turned dark.
Under the haze-shrouded environment, these sudden objects first looked like the outline of a bamboo forest, but then immediately changed, becoming somewhat like tall and thin figures.
The dark haze obscured the details of these things, so that Li Leping and Jiang Hao behind the door couldn't identify what these things were. They only felt that the things in the thick fog seemed to be changing their appearance every moment.
Revealing an indescribable evil nature, they seemed to be entangled together and gradually became indistinguishable from each other.
"Are we going to decide the winner?"
The change was imminent, Jiang Hao's face suddenly became ugly, and he felt an ominous atmosphere in his heart.
"Leave quickly."
Li Leping's face changed slightly when he saw this, knowing that the winner of the two supernatural beings would be determined after the collision. However, as the winner was determined, the two entangled supernatural beings would also undergo strange and incomprehensible changes.
This situation is no longer something they can handle.
immediately.
Ghost Smoke moved them back to the main hall.
However.
After they left the back door.
Only a few seconds passed.
A faint, mist-like, gray-black gas overflowed from outside the door.
Li Leping, who had already left here, was obviously unable to notice this change.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he can see these changes now, because he has clearly understood the situation outside the door.
The situation is getting out of control, and in a sense, this level of control is caused by people like them.
In order to survive, in order to survive today, they could only keep thinking of ways to deal with the evil ghosts who came to participate in the Dharma gathering, and then buried these restrained evil ghosts in the bamboo forest. This made the bamboo forest's supernatural power gradually clear.
It was accumulated until after the ceremony a few days ago, it reached a level that was unstoppable.
That alone isn't enough.
In order to survive the ceremony on the seventh day, they had to continue to choose to use the supernatural power of the bamboo forest. As a result, new growth appeared in the bamboo forest, reaching a completely unsolvable level.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This level of ghosts is no longer something that a ghost controller can deal with. Even if all the captains from the headquarters join forces, they will all die one after another."
Li Leping, who climbed the steps and walked into the main hall, went straight to the altar.
He will not regret the choices he made these days because he knows very well the reasons for making these choices.
Only by surviving can we consider future opportunities. If they had not made a decisive decision and hesitated for a while in the past few days, they would have been wiped out by the ghost group that entered the temple. How would they have a chance to encounter today's huge crisis?
When I came to the altar, the red coffin was still there, nothing unusual.
"Captain Li, are you going to open this coffin now?" Jiang Hao asked, his tone becoming a little heavy.
The danger they are facing now is far more terrifying than the dangers of the past few days. It can even be said that the danger they are about to face is the sum of all the dangers of the past few days.
Because that bamboo forest buried almost all the supernatural beings from the seven days of the ceremony. Except for the paint controlled by Li Leping and the ghost moon in the sky, all the remaining supernatural beings were buried in that bamboo forest and became the nutrients of the bamboo forest.
"No, don't open it yet, take the coffin out first."
In desperation, Li Leping still did not choose to open this coffin full of unknowns immediately.
"good."
Jiang Hao didn't ask any questions and immediately followed Li Leping to the coffin.
Both of them are ghost masters, especially Li Leping, whose body is completely that of a sleepwalking ghost, and the power he exerts is naturally far superior to that of ordinary people.
"Um?"
However, when they tried to lift the coffin, their expressions all moved.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the coffin was much heavier than they imagined, as if it contained more than one corpse.
"what to do?"
As soon as the coffin was lifted a little, Jiang Hao conveyed this meaning with his eyes.
Fortunately, the two of them were strong enough to lift the ridiculously heavy coffin.
"I can't control that much anymore. Let's take it out first."
Li Leping resisted his curiosity to check the coffin, and he immediately started moving while holding the front side of the coffin.
Although it would be much more convenient to use the ghost domain at this time, he was not sure whether the ghost smoke could affect the position of the coffin. In addition, his experience in the past few days also showed that these seemingly strong coffins seemed to change with the passage of time.
The supernatural erosion of the corpse inside has gradually begun to show signs of failure.
No one knows whether the ghost smoke filling the vicinity of the red coffin will irritate the corpse inside.
Soon, the two walked out of the hall and carefully walked down the steps.
In their hearts, the steps they had walked so many times seemed to have become much longer at this moment.
At this time, the two people could be said to have tightened their strength and did not dare to relax at all.
The ghost controller who had been staying at the bottom of the steps tensed up when he saw this, as if he was also carrying the coffin with Li Leping.
After all, if someone accidentally takes off his hand at this time and lets the coffin fall on this step, not to mention that this is not considered disrespectful as the people say, if someone accidentally causes the coffin to tilt, the coffin lid covering it will
If it slips, something trapped inside might take the opportunity to revive and escape.
If the evil ghost in the coffin revived early due to such a funny reason, and the three of them even died at the hands of this ghost, that would be a ridiculous death.
Without any danger, the two men carried the coffin and walked down the steps.
The ghost master who had been staying at the bottom of the steps also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
After putting down the coffin, Jiang Hao, who was breathing heavily, had time to wipe away the cold sweat from shock.
"What should we do next?" Jiang Hao, who was breathing heavily, took a few breaths and asked immediately.
"Perhaps, can you find someone to ask about the situation?" Li Leping said.
His answer immediately stunned Jiang Hao.
Find someone to ask about the situation?
This damn place has no front and no shops. How can I find someone to ask about the situation?
If Jiang Hao hadn't known that Li Leping didn't lose his mind so easily, if it had been anyone else, he would have turned Li Leping on the spot as a lunatic talking nonsense about supernatural events.
In this regard, Li Leping did not explain much.
No amount of words to explain is as good as a practical action.
After putting down the coffin, he walked towards the incense burner placed in front of the hall.
As early as the first day he came to this temple, he discovered something strange about this incense burner.
The dust deposited in the incense burner is not incense ashes at all, but ashes. If you turn it over a little, you can even see some broken bones that have not been burned cleanly.
"What is...what is he going to do?"
The ghost master who had survived to this moment looked at Li Leping who was slowly walking towards the incense burner and expressed a kind of incomprehension.
"I don't know either, so don't ask any more questions."
Jiang Hao glanced at him, with a hint of warning in his words.
Although everyone has been in this ghost place for a while, and there is a high probability that there will be no hostility between people who can survive to this day, Jiang Hao knows that he and this ghost controller are not the same country or organization, and it is necessary
Vigilance is indispensable.
Anyone who is not of my race must have a different mind. If it were someone else here, I'm afraid they would have already started thinking about how to silence this guy.
And just when Jiang Hao warned the ghost master in a low voice.
Li Leping has arrived in front of the incense burner.
Looking at the ashes accumulated in the incense burner, a samurai sword appeared in his hand.
"This is……"
Jiang Hao carefully looked at the samurai sword wrapped in a wooden scabbard and felt an inexplicable chill.
There is no doubt that this katana must be a supernatural item.
Li Leping, standing in front of the incense burner, was also thinking and calculating: "The ashes seem to be the medium for this samurai sword. Inserting the knife into the ashes can awaken the original identity of the ashes."
He recalled the supernatural phenomenon that occurred after the ghost master named Kamisato inserted the samurai sword into the ashes, and soon a new question arose: "The ashes accumulated in the incense burner are different from the one in my hand."
Knife, could it be a coincidence?"
"I just happened to snatch the sword from the hands of the man named Kamisato. Then, after taking the Kisaragi Station train to attract the ghost monk, the place where the ghost monk and the ghost temple merged happened to have such an incense burner to accumulate ashes?"
From the first day he entered the temple, Li Leping felt that this place was not that simple. Especially after seeing the ashes in the incense burner and thinking of the samurai sword he had just harvested, it was difficult for him not to let it go.
Tying it all together.
"I want to see if this knife can induce the ashes in the incense burner, and what kind of phenomena will occur if it is induced."
It was already the last day, and with so many dangers in this place, Li Leping didn't care about danger anymore.
After all, when there are enough dangers, it doesn't matter if there is one more.
If many mysteries are not revealed at this time, they will probably be buried here for the rest of their lives.
What's more, he still doesn't know what's inside that red coffin, nor does he know how to deal with the danger coming from the back door.
He needs a direction and a prompt, instead of just opening the red coffin at this moment like a headless fly.
And these ashes accumulated in the incense burner are likely to be an existing reminder.
