"If you dream of evil spirits, it seems that you have had the same nightmare." Chen Li pondered in his heart after going out.
But since that time, he has never done it again.
"It's probably just a coincidence. I just think about it every day and dream about it at night."
The evil spirit he met during the migration was blocked by the evil talisman. Before he could touch him, he was frightened away by the ancestor of the Yu family. He was not affected at all, which was completely different from Bai Jinwang's situation.
He shook his head and stopped scaring himself.
…
Two days later, Bai Jinwang's health improved a little, and he began to travel around, visiting relatives and friends, and arranging funeral arrangements. He gave away his concubines and maids one by one, and sometimes there were cries coming from the next door, staged scenes of life and death.
.
"Oh, this is fate."
In front of the door in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Bai Jinwang's wrinkled old face, giving him an indescribable feeling of sadness and old age.
Seeing the pretty flower-like concubine being dragged away by his friend, looking back three times, with a pair of sad and tearful eyes that couldn't stop talking, he felt so sad in his heart that he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Since you don't want to give it up, why give it away?" Chen Li walked out and saw this scene of human tragedy and couldn't help but said.
"I made fellow Taoist laugh." Bai Jinwang quickly wiped away his tears and sighed: "I am a dying person who has only a short time to live. Why bother others? I can find a better home for them before I die. I will also
I can leave with peace of mind.”
"Fellow Taoist is so open-minded!" Chen Li said with sincere admiration.
He asked himself that he couldn't do this.
"When you are about to die, you will become so open-minded." Bai Jinwang said with a smile.
Chen Li felt suffocated when he heard this.
This is what I said.
He still has a lot of life left in him and has never thought about death.
"When are you going to leave?" Chen Li asked.
"You are so anxious to let me go?" Bai Jinwang looked at Chen Li's weird smile and said jokingly.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Chen Li felt that the other party's old face seemed to have a faint sense of gloom and mania.
"Hehe, I'm kidding you. I still have some relatives and friends who want to say their final farewells. It will be late at night the day after tomorrow. Don't come to see me off then, just let me leave quietly alone!"
After Bai Jinwang finished speaking, he waved his hand, turned around and staggered into the courtyard gate.
There was a "squeak" sound.
The door is closed.
Chen Li stood motionless at the door, his brows furrowed.
Think of the other person's strange behavior.
He quickly took out a thick stack of evil-fighting talismans from his chest and checked it, and surprisingly found that the top one was slightly warm.
"This is..." Chen Li's face changed slightly.
…
Had dinner.
Chen Li handed Zhou Hong a stack of thirty evil-breaking charms.
"What is this for?" Zhou Hong asked, not knowing why, after taking it.
"Take it with you. The old man next door is getting more and more evil. I'm always worried that something will happen in the next few days." Chen Li said with a solemn expression.
Zhou Hong's face changed: "You can't see it usually, it's quite normal."
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's not a big deal," Chen Li said.
He decided to wait until early tomorrow morning to buy another fifty evil-breaking charms for peace of mind.
Things like talismans have a long shelf life. Even if they are not used by then, they will not deteriorate in a short period of time. If you set up a stall and resell them, you can recover more than half of the original cost. As for the loss of some spiritual stones, for him, who is very wealthy,
I can't afford the loss at all.
But once you use it, it's the difference between life and death.
…
The night passed peacefully.
Early the next morning, after Chen Li bought fifty evil evil talismans from the Talisman Shop of the Changsheng Sect, he never went out again. While practicing swordsmanship and spells in the yard, he paid attention to Bai Jinwang's movements.
It was almost noon when Bai Jinwang's violent coughing sound came from next door.
After a while.
With a "squeak" sound, the door to the courtyard next door opened.
Bai Jinwang seems to be going out.
Chen Li stopped and listened intently.
Soon the footsteps gradually faded away until they disappeared, and then Chen Li opened the courtyard door.
An old figure was walking staggeringly in the distance. Maybe he had been looking at it for a long time. There seemed to be a terrifying shadow swaying and dancing on him. He blinked quickly and took a closer look. In the end, everything had been restored.
normal.
"This shouldn't be an illusion. The other party's poisoning is even more serious... Damn it!" Chen Li cursed secretly.
As if aware of the gaze, Bai Jinwang turned around and smiled.
This smile...
Chen Li had an indescribable feeling, evil, gloomy, and even a hint of vague malice.
The other party quickly turned the corner and disappeared into the street.
"Damn, what on earth is this evil thing... Fortunately, it will leave tomorrow!"
He withdrew his gaze and was about to turn back to the courtyard when the door to the courtyard next door suddenly opened and Sun Yu walked out:
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing! Are you going out?"
Ever since Zhou Hongna learned that the other party was a female nun, Chen Li looked more and more like her. Every word, every move, and every gesture of the other party seemed to have a hint of temptation.
"Yes!" Sun Yu pursed his lips and smiled, closing the courtyard door: "Otherwise, we won't have anything to eat."
The two exchanged a few polite and distant words before parting ways.
…
night.
afterwards!
Zhou Hong's drunken eyes were blurred, and her face was flushed. It took a long time to regain consciousness. She patted Chen Li lightly, rolled her eyes at him charmingly, and said angrily: "It's all your fault. Don't use that kind of secret method that harms people again."
I will be tortured to death by you!"
hey-hey!
Chen Li smiled proudly.
Huang Chi's technique is indeed well-deserved, and the secret method is truly wonderful.
Every time he tried, Zhou Hong was defeated, unable to resist.
"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me!"
The two had a private conversation.
"I also felt something was wrong with Old Man Bai today!" Zhou Hong snuggled into Chen Li's arms and said softly: "It looks eerie, as if he wants to eat people!"
"Don't have contact with him these two days. Fortunately, he will leave tomorrow!" Chen Li said.
"What if you don't leave?"
"Then we can only send him away in advance." Chen Li said in a deep voice, and sighed: "Oh, unless I am ruthless and do not miss the old relationship, who knows what will happen if I continue like this? We live next to each other again.
When the time comes, we will be the first to be affected!"
"It's not your fault, you did the right thing." Zhou Hong said softly: "I heard that people who are possessed by evil spirits will eventually become evil spirits if they are not treated. Old man Bai is also a monk at the ninth level of Qi training. Once he is completely
Evil, I’m afraid…”
…
late at night.
Next door is Bai Jinwang's bedroom.
The bed was empty.
An old figure sat on the chair next to him, leaning on the backrest, as motionless as a corpse. Countless shadows danced around him, like ghosts, and the whole bedroom had an eerie and terrifying feel.
This figure is none other than Bai Jinwang.
At this moment, his whole body trembled suddenly, and his closed eyes opened, glowing with an evil red light.
His nails quickly turned black and sharp.
So much so that even his face changed, becoming more ferocious and evil...
Half an hour later,
He stood up, and the shadows around him seemed to move with him, and he walked out of the courtyard silently.
At this time, he paused slightly and looked directly at the next door, with a red light flashing in his eyes.
There was an extremely strong aura that made him hate and fear him.
He looked at it for a while, then looked away, and then walked away along the street. His figure was light and ghostly, not even a little bit as frail and old as before.
…
Chen Li was completely unaware of this.
Have a good night's sleep.
It was still bright and misty outside, and Chen Li woke up on his own initiative.
He lifted the quilt, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash up.
Go to the Talisman Making Room and light the oil lamp.
He took out the talisman skin, blood ink and talisman-making pen, thought about it, and drew eighteen evil-proof talismans in succession.
Since his spiritual power was purified, his efficiency has doubled whether he is casting spells or drawing talismans.
He took a Qi-Building Pill to restore his spiritual power. After the blood ink on the talisman was completely dry, he put away the talisman, walked out of the talisman-making room, and stuffed the talismans everywhere in the house again.
There were two to three hundred talismans like this in the whole room, filling every corner. These were drawn one after another by Chen Li occasionally on a whim.
…
Throughout the day, Chen Li kept paying attention to the movements next door.
As a result, the whole day passed, and it was almost evening, and the other party didn't go out. Not only did he not go out, there wasn't even any movement at all, it was quiet.
He hesitated.
Walked out of the yard, came to Bai's house, and knocked on the door: "Is Brother Bai here?"
"Bah bang bang!"
"Brother Bai, open the door?"
"Bah bang bang!"
"If you don't open it, I'll come in!"
Just when Chen Li was about to go in and take a look, a hoarse and rough voice sounded from inside: "I... feel... a little unwell. Fellow Daoist Chen... please come back."
The sound was intermittent.
It seems quite difficult to speak.
Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Then take care of yourself and leave tonight, right?"
"Yeah! Just go, just...go!"
He frowned slightly, wondering why the sound was so weird.
He shook his head and turned to leave.
Just after dinner, Zhang Yan came over to visit.
"Did you hear about the strange thing last night?"
"What's weird?" Chen Li asked confusedly, he didn't go out all day today, and even Zhou Hong didn't let her go out.
"Last night, a family died inexplicably. It is said that no one nearby heard the sound. This is not a big deal. The strange thing is that these people died in extremely weird ways, and their bodies became like mummies.
.
This is an evil spirit at first glance, but this is a big cultivation city like Luanluo City, where can such a thing come from?" Zhang Yan lowered his voice with a look of fear on his face.
"Is this rumor true?" Chen Li looked serious.
"It has been spread all over the world, so it must be true."
Evil again!
Chen Li's heart skipped a beat.
I couldn't help but think of Bai Jinwang's weirdness before.
Could it be 'him' who did it?
"Is it far from us?"
"It's quite far away. How many streets away from us?" Zhang Yan said, "But you'd better prepare a few extra evil charms, just in case... just in case!"
He got stuck halfway through what he said.
His eyes noticed the stacks of talismans used to pad the table legs. This... this was clearly an evil talisman. There were about five talismans in each stack. Not only that, he soon found them on the beams and corners of the wall.
See the figure of the evil amulet.
I guess there will be more places that I can’t see.
"As for evil-proofing talismans, I've already drawn a lot of them!" Chen Li didn't notice Zhang Yan's gaze and thought to himself.
This is more than a lot.
"The evil-proofing talisman is still a bit weak. It's better to prepare some evil-proofing talismans like me to defend yourself." Chen Li took out a stack of talismans from his chest, which were two inches thick. He waved them in front of Zhang Yan's eyes and reminded him kindly.
Zhang Yan suddenly felt that he was in a trance.
This is fake!
If this stack is full of evil charms, how much will it cost?
He opened his mouth, but finally found that he had nothing to say.
What does caution mean?
This is called caution.
What does it mean to be foolproof?
This is called foolproof.
"Are you okay?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhang Yan standing still and his eyes dull.
"Hahaha, no...it's okay!" Zhang Yan quickly came to his senses and laughed dryly.
"Do you think I bought too much... Fortunately, Luanluo City's high-level talismans are cheap. I bought more than a hundred of them, and only spent about thirty middle-grade spiritual stones in total."
…
Zhang Yan left quickly.
Just like it came in a hurry.
After Chen Li sent Zhang Yan away, he smacked his lips and thought back:
"This little old man doesn't think I'm showing off my wealth!"
At this moment, he remembered something and turned to look next door.
At this time, the sky was starting to get dark, and the room next door was still quiet. He hesitated for a while, and then gave up the idea of knocking on the door again to test. Since the other party said he would leave tonight, he decided not to disturb him.
…
late at night.
There was a "squeak" sound from the door opening next door.
Chen Li's heart moved, and he quickly put on his clothes, walked out of the bedroom, walked all the way to the courtyard, and then jumped over the courtyard wall with a slight jump.
The street is quiet.
There wasn't a soul in sight.
The door next door was open, and Bai Jinwang had obviously gone out.
"Moving so fast?"
He walked in the door and shouted tentatively:
"Brother Bai, are you there?"
"I'll see you off."
Chen Li held an evil-breaking talisman between his fingers and shouted as he carefully walked into the house. It was empty. He searched around the rooms and found no one.
"Looks like he's really gone!"
"Wait! Why didn't you take this luggage with you?" In the bedroom, he saw a neat bundle still left here.
"Did I forget, or..." Chen Li couldn't help but think deeply.
Combined with the strange things Zhang Yan said and the strange behavior of the other party in the evening, Chen Li had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Now that you've left, don't come back again."
In every room in his house, he left an evil-busting talisman. After doing all this, he quickly returned.
He tossed and turned all night, not feeling sleepy at all. It was almost early in the morning before he fell asleep. At dawn, he got up again, got dressed and walked out. The door next door was still open.
Suddenly his pupils shrank.
I found a few white claw marks on the blackened wooden door.
He stepped forward and took a look.
Each of these claw marks was more than one centimeter deep, which was quite 'fresh'. He could also see some fallen and curled wood fibers on the ground.
This was obviously left over from last night.
There is no doubt that 'Platinum Wang' came back last night and wanted to enter, but was blocked by the evil-breaking talisman in the house. Before leaving, he vented for a while at the door of the yard before finally leaving.
