"What's the trouble?"
I asked subconsciously.
Who knew that Master Jiang would say in a serious voice: "Stop talking nonsense and get off the car quickly! If it's too late, our lives may be in danger!"
After hearing what Master Jiang said, I knew the situation was urgent. I hurriedly opened the door and jumped out of the Bentley.
Master Jiang was in front and I followed behind him. He took me to hide behind a nearby rock.
Before I could fully understand what was going on, Master Jiang handed me a talisman.
In the dark night, I couldn’t see clearly what the talisman was.
Master Jiang whispered to me, "This is a concealment talisman. I only have one on me. It's very precious. Today's situation is rather tricky, so I have no choice but to use it. Wait a minute, don't move, we will hide together to avoid any accidents!"
Before I could figure out what was going on, Master Jiang started humming and chanting incantations.
Then I found a white light film covering Master Jiang and I. The light film felt warm on my body, like soaking in a hot spring, very comfortable.
I was still in shock when Master Jiang whispered, "They are coming!"
They? What do you mean
Master Jiang didn't respond to me, but I already realized something was wrong.
I saw a white lantern appear on the winding mountain road. The lantern moved very fast. In a short time, the white lantern came to the Bentley where Master Jiang and I were before.
And behind the white lantern stood a man in a gray robe.
The man was wearing a bamboo hat, was very tall and thin, and his robe looked so bulky.
No one knew what the man was thinking. He walked around the Bentley with a lantern in his hand, and then he stopped.
I found that his front body was facing the direction of the road where our car was coming, standing there silently.
"What's going on? Why is that person so strange?"
I muttered to myself.
Although Master Jiang and I were far away from that person, I could clearly sense a gloomy aura coming from him. If it weren’t for the shadow of that person under the light of the white lantern,
If he did, I'm afraid I would think he was a ghost.
I took out the crow's tears from the cloth bag and slowly applied them on my eyelids.
I wanted to confirm if that person was really related to the ghost.
But when I opened my eyes, my heart suddenly lifted.
Guess what I saw
I'm not trying to scare you, but there are a circle of ghosts surrounding the man holding the white lantern.
The ghosts were suspended there, their bodies looking even more sneaky under the light of the white lanterns. They all looked like they were dead, some with broken arms, some with broken legs, and some covered in red blood.
There was another ghost, and I found that he actually grabbed his head in his hands and pulled his hair...
Oh my god! To be honest, I have never seen such a horrible scene.
This kind of scene is rare even in horror movies. But what puzzled me was that the ghosts were actually floating around the gray-robed man in a respectful manner and did not attack him.
What's going on? Could it be that the man is a ghost breeder
But this is impossible. Even if he is a ghost breeder, it is impossible for him to control so many ghosts at once.
Human mental strength is limited, and every ghost has a violent side. If one controls so many ghosts, he will surely suffer backlash from them.
Perhaps the gray-robed man had already been torn to pieces by the ghost at that time.
What made me nervous was that after the gray-robed man stood on the road for a while, his gaze suddenly changed direction and he actually looked towards where Master Jiang and I were.
My heart tightened and I was about to ask Master Jiang what to do
But Master Jiang quickly covered my mouth.
He whispered in my ear, "It's okay, don't move or talk, with the concealment talisman, he can't find us!"
It was at this time that the gray-robed man standing there actually spoke.
There was a sense of vicissitudes in his voice, and there was a kind of awe-inspiring attraction in it.
He said in a deep voice towards the winding mountain road, "We must be fellow travelers. Why don't you show up? What's the point of hiding?"
There was mockery in his voice.
I was very upset by the irony. But I also knew that the gray-robed man was trying to provoke us to leave. And the ghosts around him didn't know what order they received, and they actually began to scatter.
After saying that, the man in gray robe stood there for a few minutes.
Then he shook his head and said in a low voice: "Well, since you don't want to meet, then we'll meet again later."
After saying that, he walked away from the Bentley quickly.
His movements were very swift, and there was no sound when he stepped on the road. I felt that he was extremely powerful, and even more powerful than many Taoist priests with profound skills.
Of course, that man couldn't be considered a Taoist priest at all, because he knew how to control ghosts.
Seeing him leave, Master Jiang and I did not dare to act rashly. We all knew that the man just now was too powerful, and we were no match for him at all. If we were discovered and entangled by the ghosts controlled by him, we could imagine how miserable our fate would be.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, the man in gray robe came back.
Seeing that there was no one in the Bentley and no one was to be seen on the winding mountain road, he left unhappily again.
This time, Master Jiang and I stayed behind the big rock for a full hour.
When the effect of the cloaking charm wore off, Master Jiang said, "Well, that mysterious man has left!"
I straightened my back and asked Master Jiang in confusion, "Who is that person? How can he control so many ghosts?"
Master Jiang also shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know either. Even my ghost eyes can't figure out the man's true identity. And the strangest thing is that even though he is a human, he doesn't have any vitality. He is almost like a dead person."
"No vitality at all?"
I know that "live energy" is a popular term, but in fact, Taoists should call it "yang energy."
Everyone carries yang energy, and only people with yang energy can walk in the world of the living without fear of the sun and rain.
But that person has no Yang energy but is able to move. This is good.
It looks like a zombie. Then, could that person be the legendary zombie
I asked my doubts.
Master Jiang shook his head and said, "It's not a zombie. I have seen zombies when I was learning Taoism from my master. Zombies have stiff bodies, slow movements, and it is difficult for them to walk. They jump around. So that person can't be a zombie. Moreover, there is only resentment left in the zombie's body. It has no thoughts at all, let alone speech!"
"Um!"
I nodded and learned something from Master Jiang's words.
"So what do we do now?"
After what happened just now, I felt a little lost for a moment and didn’t know what to do.
But Master Jiang was very calm. He said, "It should be fine now. Let's get off this winding mountain road as soon as possible. If I saw it correctly, those ghosts surrounding the gray-robed man are the ghosts of people who died on this mountain road!"
Did they all die on this mountain road
I was inexplicably shocked.
I suddenly thought of the drivers before.
"Master Jiang, could those drivers have also gotten into accidents?" I asked.
Master Jiang said in a deep voice: "They will definitely not survive, so don't even think about helping them. Although we Taoists should take action when we encounter such a thing, we are also human beings, so we must know our own limitations. There is no way we can deal with those ghosts, let alone the gray-robed man!"
I thought about it and felt that what Master Jiang said was right.
Besides, our time is quite urgent now. After all, Shan Daye’s wife is still waiting for us to find Wuxuguo to save her life.
But when Master Jiang and I walked up to the Bentley, Master Jiang let out a light exclamation.
He stopped me, frowned and said, "No, don't go over there yet!"
"What's wrong? It's nothing?"
I have crow tears on my eyelids so I can still see ghosts, but now the Bentley is parked there. This is normal.
But Master Jiang ignored me and shouted angrily in the direction of the Bentley, "Damn kid, come out, we've found you!"
What
Is there really a ghost
Impossible, my eyelids are smeared with crow tears. I didn't see any ghosts!
But Master Jiang's solemn expression didn't seem to be lying to me.
Master Jiang pulled me back and explained quickly, "Brother Tianyi, it's normal that you didn't see the little ghost. Although Crow Tears can see ghosts, not all ghosts can see when their eyes are smeared with Crow Tears."
"There is a kind of ghost called a Yin-headed ghost. This kind of ghost is also a ghost. It is very rare, but it is extremely good at hiding its soul."
Maybe when Master Jiang was explaining it to me, the three words “yin-head ghost” stimulated the ghost.
Soon, a faint soul slowly emerged above the Bentley. That should be the so-called Yin-headed ghost!
It seems that the ghost with a dark head was a man in his previous life.
The Yin-headed ghost stared at Master Jiang coldly and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that your eyes, stinky Taoist priest, are actually ghost eyes. Hahahaha... If my master knew this, it would definitely be good news. He would gouge out your eyes! I will tell this news to my master, he will definitely be very happy... Haha!"
Then the ghost with a negative head shrank into a ball of light black gas and was about to leave.
"Hmph, how outrageous! Since you have been left behind by your master to monitor us, then don't leave!"
What I didn’t expect was that Master Jiang acted so decisively.
I saw him take out a net-like object directly from his arms, and then he raised his hand and threw it at the Yin-headed ghost that was about to fly away.
After being thrown out by Master Jiang, the net-like thing flashed with golden light and looked the size of a palm, but when it flew into the air, it suddenly became larger.
Before the Yin-headed ghost could react, the net-shaped magic weapon had already gathered him in it.
Moreover, I found that after the net-like magic weapon wrapped around the Yin-headed ghost, it actually released gray-white electric lights.
The lightning was particularly obvious in the dark night, like a bunch of moving snakes, constantly drilling into the body of the Yin-headed ghost.
"ah... "
The Yintou ghost screamed in pain.
