Ji Yuan is now somewhat hesitant as to whether he should make contact with this Yinchai in the opposite courtyard. In his old concept, this Yinchai is at least a member of the system of immortals, Buddhas and gods, right
But in fact, the ghost messenger was also looking at Ji Yuan at this moment.
Before, it was because the situation I discovered was more important, but now looking back, I feel that there seems to be something wrong with the new resident of Ju'an Xiaoge.
After all, it was late at night and in a house like this, this man was just standing at the door of the main house looking at the yard. It couldn't be said that he was just enjoying the cool air in the early spring, right
'He must be a very intuitive person, right?'
It's not like this person hasn't been encountered before. Even if he isn't, living in the Ju'an Pavilion, the yin energy is so dense after three o'clock in the night that a normal person would have trouble sleeping and have nightmares.
After hesitating for a long time, Ji Yuan finally decided not to get involved for the time being. If he wanted to worship the City God, he could go and burn incense during the day.
So Ji Yuan tried to walk to the eaves in front of the house as naturally as possible, looked up at the night sky, and sighed in a low voice, half-seriously and half-falsely.
"Such a clean starry sky... I haven't seen it for a long time..."
There were not many things he could see clearly. He hadn't noticed it last time on Niu Kui Mountain, but now he discovered that the stars in the sky were among them.
There are no clouds or smog pollution, the sky is dotted with stars and the Milky Way is bright, it is really beautiful!
Now that the Yin Cha was here, and he still had some courage left from the fight just now, Ji Yuan simply sat down on a small broken chair beside the house, looked at the sky and the yard, and sighed from time to time, like an ordinary insomniac.
Of course, most of Ji Yuan's attention was still on the movements in the yard. He also tried to visualize the chess pieces during the meditation, but perhaps because his body was consumed too much, his limbs were weak and his mind felt a little sore, but the feeling was still there, and this was the reason why Ji Yuan dared to continue sitting here.
Are you kidding? I just pointed that thing back. Didn’t you hear the Yinchai say that the thing was seriously damaged? And now the Yinchai is still here, so why can’t I be tougher
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Ji Yuan felt something different.
A strange smell is gradually becoming stronger. If I had to describe it, it's a bit like the sandalwood scent that Grandpa Ji Yuan liked to light in his study.
Then Ji Yuan suddenly realized that it was the scent of sandalwood in the temple.
My heartbeat accelerated again, as if some important person was coming. Could it be the City God of Ning'an County in person
As the scent of sandalwood gradually approached, Ji Yuan sat up straight. Unlike other ghosts, Ji Yuan could hear extremely special footsteps in his ears. They seemed to have some kind of rhythm, and there were more than one person.
Woo~~ Woo~~
There seemed to be a thin, cold breeze with the scent of sandalwood in the courtyard. One after another, figures crossed the gate of Ju'an Pavilion and entered the courtyard. In addition to more people who looked like ghosts, there were also four people who looked like officials. They were wearing official robes or official robes of different colors.
"Gu..."
Ji Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva quietly. This was quite a big scene.
"Greetings to Lord Wupan, Lord Reward for Good, Lord Punisher for Evil, Lord Supervision!"
The ghost messengers in the courtyard respectfully saluted the four tallest figures with the most imposing manner.
These four are obviously not the City God of Ning'an County, but they definitely enjoy the incense and offerings of the people. At least there are clay sculptures of them in the City God Temple. They are definitely not comparable to ordinary ghosts, otherwise there would not be that smell of sandalwood.
I have no idea what kind of official units are under the City God, but I can guess a clue from the name of the Yinchai.
The visitor paid too much attention to Ji Yuan who was sitting in the yard, and all his attention was focused on the well in the yard.
"As expected, the evil spirit here has suddenly decreased. I wonder what happened?"
"I heard from the City God that this evil ghost roared non-stop tonight. Although I don't know why, I think it must have been seriously injured!"
The figure called Wu Pan turned his head and looked at Ji Yuan in front of the house, making the latter feel a little nervous.
"Is this person the new mortal who moved into Ju'an Pavilion? Is there anything unusual?"
The ghost messenger who had been on guard immediately replied.
"Master Wu Pan, this person is probably a mortal who is unable to sleep due to the invasion of evil spirits. There is nothing abnormal."
"Um!"
While the four officials of the City God, who were superior in both aura and clothing, were having a brief exchange, there were ghost messengers patrolling inside and outside the courtyard, probably investigating something.
Not long after, several ghost messengers came to report.
"Reporting to all the officials, there is nothing unusual near Tianniufang!"
Several officials under the City God looked at each other and thought for a while.
"Could it be that some expert passed by here and helped Ning'an County?"
"Don't think too much. Let's subdue this beast first, and then conduct a detailed investigation!"
"Time waits for no one, or things will change!"
"That's exactly the point!"
Wu Pan waved his sleeves, and a black judge's pen appeared in his hand. He swept his eyes around the courtyard.
"All officers, prepare the soul-locking formation. Soul-catching messengers, listen up. The soul-binding chains are ready!"
“I obey!” “I obey!”…
Four officials under the City God walked to the four corners of the courtyard, one stood with his sleeves hanging down, one took out an iron pen, one held a book in his hand, and one held a steel whip.
"It's coming, it's coming!!! It's time to take action!! But is there any need to make such a big fuss about the things in the well? And is there no one among them who wants to persuade me, a member of the crowd, to leave?"
Ji Yuan was half nervous and half expectant, not knowing what would happen.
It was not until several ghost messengers holding black flags turned into mist and disappeared that Ji Yuan realized that the yard in front of him was covered with a thin layer of ink. It seemed to be some kind of soul-locking formation, and the eaves of the main house where he was located was just outside and not trapped inside.
Inside the soul-locking formation, Wu Pan saw that everything was ready and snorted coldly in the direction of the well.
"You are still keeping your composure, or maybe you are afraid to show up because you are injured? Tonight is the day you die! Soul Catcher, act!!"
Wu Pan gave an order, and the nine black-robed emissaries holding long staffs who were surrounding the wellhead suddenly reached for their waists. A faint light flashed at the belt position, and it turned into a pitch-black chain.
"Here!!!"
The nine soul-catchers roared together, and the soul-binding chains were thrown towards the well mouth like lightning, and actually sank into the ground beside the well.
woo woo woo woo…
Suddenly, a cold wind blew up, and the branches and leaves of the old jujube tree in the yard swayed. Even though he was outside the formation, Ji Yuan still felt chilly all around him. His skin under his clothes was covered with goose bumps like little beans!
“Ah~~~~~~~~~uh~~~~~~~~~~”
"Hmph, it can only roar and scream. Everyone, help the Soul Catcher and pull it up!"
As they were talking, the four officials under the City God attacked boldly. Their left hands that were not holding magic weapons stretched forward. Lines of negative energy grew in the courtyard, surrounding the soul-catcher.
For a moment, the soul-binding chain glowed brightly!
"rise!!!"
“Ah~~~~~~~~~~~”
Dense hair rushed out of the well and danced wildly in the yard. Countless hair immediately wrapped around the nine soul-catchers. The nine soul-catchers instantly flew outwards, and the soul-binding chains were also dragged out a long way.
"cut!"
The ghost messengers who had been waiting on full alert drew their swords and chopped off the hair of those who were chasing the soul-catcher.
“Uh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The hoarse and shrill ghostly howls grew louder and louder, and a large clump of dirty hair was pulled out of the well by the Soul Binding Chain, twisting and changing in mid-air.
Ji Yuan's pupils contracted violently and his teeth chattered slightly. Is this the thing just now
The ghost trapped in the soul-binding chain had flesh and blood that seemed to be constantly stirring, its bloodshot eyes and pale face were also changing, and murderous and negative energy was constantly pouring out.
The intense sense of fear that comes from both the visual and soul instincts is suffocating and cannot be compared to any fake horror movie.
"Evil creature! I will shatter your soul tonight!!!"
Pan Wu roared, pointed his judge's pen forward, and the other three officials under the City God also joined in the attack.
Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~
The courtyard of Ju'an Xiaoge seemed to be filled with yin energy...
