Ji Yuan did not cover his entire head, but left a gap. Then he saw clumps of hair seeping through the crack of the door, gathering more and more in the room...
He felt cold in his heart and sweaty in his body. The brand new bedding was soaked with Ji Yuan's sweat and became damp inside.
Ji Yuan didn't dare to move. He was thinking of a countermeasure quickly in his mind. He wanted to rush out and escape several times.
"Huh..."
An inhuman sound was heard in the room, and Ji Yuan, who was already scared to death, froze.
Through the gap, he saw the pile of hair slowly rising, and a dark human-shaped outline appeared. Although everything around him was blurry, he could see this very clearly. However, he would rather not see it clearly.
The bone-chilling cold continued to spread, and even covered with a quilt I couldn't feel the warmth at all.
"What should I do? What should I do? This is totally different from a ghost!! This must be a ghost!! "
Ji Yuan clutched the corner of the quilt tightly. The intense fear and rapid heartbeat made his whole body tremble uncontrollably.
This time there were no traveling merchants around, nor were there any young heroes from the martial arts world, and the person he was with was not someone like Lu Shanjun with whom he could communicate.
A strong aura of sinister death permeated the entire Ju'an Pavilion.
“Crackle…Crackle…”
A strange and eerie sound of bones rubbing against each other was getting closer and closer, so close that it seemed as if there was only a thin blanket separating it from me.
The malicious intent to put life to death, the greed and desire for vitality were so obvious that Ji Yuan, hiding under the quilt, had his pale pupils shrunk into needles.
You will die!! You can’t escape!!
This is not like watching a horror movie or a Hong Kong ghost movie through the screen. This feeling of fear and despair is suffocating and powerless.
Then, Ji Yuan discovered that this feeling of powerlessness was not really caused by excessive hormone secretion in his body, but rather that wisps of white gas were leaving his body.
'It's sucking my energy! ! '
"Huh..."
I felt a huge pressure on my body, which gradually made me unable to move and breathing became difficult.
If Ji Yuan hadn't been covered with a blanket, he might have seen a filthy black shadow with pale and twisted limbs attached to him...
This terrifying hissing sound and the uncontrollable state of the body reminded Ji Yuan of the time when he first traveled through time.
At this moment, Ji Yuan felt inexplicably angry.
"I have survived the fatal attack by the tiger spirit in the mountain temple, but I am going to die here for no apparent reason? I cannot accept this!!! I cannot accept this!!!"
He clenched his teeth tightly, his pale eyes were slightly bloodshot, his eyelids were trembling violently, and the fingers of his right hand were trying hard to stretch.
'I just came into this world, and I just discovered my own uniqueness. I still have a lot to do, and I still want to see the wonders of this world! '
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Ji Yuan kept visualizing the Lan Ke chess game and constantly imagining the chess piece. This was the only means he could think of at the moment.
Ji Yuan became ruthless and opened his eyes wide regardless of the pain. Some kind of aura in the quilt shook slightly in a trance, and his body regained control in an instant.
'I!!!'
“I’m not willing to accept this!!!”
The three words were roared out from his mouth, and Ji Yuan stood up suddenly at the same moment, threw back the quilt, and pointed his arm like a sword. With a desperate resistance, he stabbed the quilt with his hand. The mysterious aura in his arm flowed and turned into an illusory chess piece at his fingertips.
“Get out of here!!!”
Buzz…
Ji Yuan's arm seemed to be filled with a faint white light, and the next moment, the chess piece and his fingertips touched the evil spirit.
“Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~”
As the sword and chess piece penetrated the ghost's soul, a scream so sharp that it made Ji Yuan's eardrums extremely painful sounded from the other side.
Woohoo…
Gusts of cold wind seemed to whirl around, and groups of dirty and terrifying negative energy were swirling around Ji Yuan's right arm like clothes in a washing machine.
Ji Yuan felt as if his entire right hand was completely frozen. The biting cold was like steel needles constantly piercing the skin of his right arm. The stinging pain and chillness were no longer bearable.
That is the next moment.
"Bang!"
A black shadow bounced out fiercely, hit the door and penetrated directly through it, quickly escaping into the well in the yard.
Ji Yuan stretched out his right arm and opened his eyes wide, maintaining this posture for about ten seconds. Then he stood on the bed and shook twice, and his body softened and fell backwards.
With a "bang", Ji Yuan fell on the bed and fainted.
This miserable scream was so eerie and creepy that there were countless residents in the corner of Tianniufang who were suddenly awakened by the scream, which could not be distinguished between male and female, in the middle of the night, and they all hid under their quilts and dared not move.
Even some houses that had lights on hurriedly blew out their candles, fearing that they would attract some evil spirits.
At this moment, in Miaosifang, northwest of Ning'an County, the Ning'an County City God Temple is located.
The golden statue in the temple shook.
Under the surface invisible to ordinary people, the City God of Ning'an County is already standing high in the hall.
"Where is Ye Xunyou? Go to the Soul-Locking Well at Tianniufang in the south of the city and check!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two ghost messengers were dressed in black robes, one with a long-handled hook and the other with a sword at his waist. They turned into two vague black shadows and left the City God Temple and headed towards Tianniufang.
. . .
In Ju'an Xiaoge, Ji Yuan rubbed his head and sat up from the bed. When he fainted just now, he hit the back of his head on the edge of the bed. Fortunately, his head was still strong, otherwise he would have had a concussion.
Ji Yuan still remembered the last moment. The ghost-like thing was knocked away by his finger and then escaped. Judging from its reaction, it was definitely not unscathed. At least it should have been scared.
After what happened just now, Ji Yuan became a lot bolder. He put on his coat and got out of bed.
My right arm is still cold and numb, and my whole body feels a little weak, but basically I don't feel any problem.
He pulled out the wooden latch and the door to the main room opened with a creaky sound.
The stars were shining brightly overhead, the jujube tree in the yard was swaying its branches, and the well under the shade of the tree was completely shrouded in darkness.
Woo… Woo…
The gusts of wind, not only cool but also chilly, made Ji Yuan shiver slightly.
Ji Yuan stood at the door of the main room, feeling uneasy and his face changing from gloomy to bright. He considered several times whether he should just run away now. After all, he might not be so lucky next time.
"There is another mortal living in Ju'an Pavilion?"
Suddenly, a slightly surprised voice floated from outside the yard, and then two figures in black robes and holding weapons mysteriously passed through the gate and came into the yard.
Ji Yuan's heart was slightly excited and then his pupils shrank, and he found that he could actually see them clearly.
'It's the devil again!'
The two black-robed figures were obviously focusing all their attention on the well in the yard. They just glanced at Ji Yuan who was standing at the door of the main house and ignored him.
"Strange, the evil spirit emanating from the Soul Locking Well has dissipated by more than half? What happened here?"
"The City God must have noticed something unusual!"
"The feng shui structure of Ju'an Pavilion is intact, so the evil spirit should not be able to escape. I can feel that it is still in the well!"
"Yeah, and the breathing is unstable!"
"If so, this is a God-given opportunity to kill this beast. We must report back to the City God immediately!!"
After a brief exchange between the two ghost messengers, the one holding the long-handled hook stayed by the well, while the one with the sword turned into a blurry human-shaped smoke and floated away through the door.
Ji Yuan, who was standing at the door of the station, almost ran away.
"Do you think I can't see them? Evil spirits? Feng Shui? Lord City God?"
As a young man who has read extensively the information explosion of the 21st century, Ji Yuan was able to infer a lot of things from just a few simple sentences.
The well in the courtyard of Ju'an Pavilion might be locked up by some powerful ghost. The Ning'an County City God is not just a clay sculpture in the temple. The two people who came might be the ghost messengers under the jurisdiction of the City God...
I have seen monsters and ghosts before, and now I have seen the ghost messengers under the city god of this county.
Ji Yuan’s mind raced.
"So are there any gods, immortals, or Buddhas in this world? Should I run now? 36 taels... The damage to the things in the well was caused by my finger, right?"
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan felt that he seemed to have some confidence to be a spectator.
Moreover, deep down, Ji Yuan is actually a big boy with a middle school dream. Not everyone has the opportunity to see things like the City God in the temple.
