Ye Jin said in a deep voice: "They have done so many warning things on both sides, should we also set up a formation?"
"No need." I shook my head. "Some things are inevitable. Even if we get into the Lingxiao Palace, we can't escape. What's the point of setting up a formation? Besides, the people who die tonight will definitely not be us."
"You said it's okay, then I'll go to sleep." Ye Jin simply lay on the bed and snored. I leaned not far from Xiao Baitang and closed my eyes to rest.
I had just been lying down for a while when I felt Xiao Baitang pushing me: "Brother Wu Zhao, Brother Wu Zhao... look at the watch... hurry up and look at the watch..."
I had a Qingfei Dart on my wrist and never wore a watch. Xiao Baitang asked me to look at the watch, so I had to take out my cell phone. The time on it just stopped at 11 o'clock.
I remember that when we jumped into the ghost realm, it was around midnight, so it couldn't be eleven o'clock now.
I quickly turned around and looked at Xiao Baitang's phone. It was also eleven o'clock.
I said in a deep voice: "Ye Jin, what time is it?"
Ye Jin raised the watch on his wrist: "Eleven o'clock, midnight."
I couldn't help but gasp.
Ghostland, is it really an independent space, where not only is space imprisoned, but time is also stagnant? If it is always midnight here, doesn't it mean that the ghost gates in the ghostland are always wide open, the ghosts are always in their peak state, and our Taoist magic will be suppressed by more than 30% out of thin air
I was in shock when I heard a very light sound of footsteps coming from outside. It sounded like someone was walking in the corridor very carefully, but deliberately letting people hear him moving in the corridor.
When I turned my head and looked at the door, the other person's footsteps just stopped outside the door. I could feel someone pressing his body against the door, holding the door with both hands, and moving his ear up and down against the door panel... Was he listening to the movement in the house
I slowly stood up and walked towards the door: "Friend, what are you listening to?"
The person outside suddenly spoke up: "I'm listening to see if there is anyone alive or dead in the room."
I held the handle of the knife and said, "Can a dead person stay in a hotel?"
"Why not?" the other party affirmed, "Why don't you turn around and see who of the four people in the room is dead?"
"There are only three people in my room." I knew that he considered Maozi a human being, but I deliberately spoke to him in a twisted way.
"Sit on the dead's bed and hide under the living's bed. It's up to you whether you want to look for them or not." The man laughed, "I still have to go slaughter the sheep..."
When I turned around and looked behind me, Ye Jin had already stood up, and the only person sitting on the bed was Xiao Baitang. Her face looked extremely pale, and she kept winking at me. Was she pointing at her feet
I looked down along Xiao Baitang's legs to the ground, but I saw nothing: "Ghost Eyes, open—"
After a flash of blood in my eyes, a layer of green air appeared on Xiao Baitang's face, and the bed where she sat was still empty. I walked a few steps to Xiao Baitang and put my hand under her nose. I could still feel the yang energy exhaled from her body, but that yang energy became extremely weak.
I hurriedly asked, "Xiao Baitang, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Baitang said in a trembling voice: "Something is grabbing my feet..."
Ye Jin also rushed over: "Don't talk nonsense, where is the thing?"
"There's someone, there really is someone! There's really someone grabbing my feet under the bed..." Xiao Baitang's voice was already filled with tears, "There's someone under the bed!"
I said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, lift your feet up slowly, slowly..."
When Xiao Baitang slowly lifted her feet as I told her, I saw the edge of her socks curled up. Was someone pulling her socks up under the bed
Ye Jin and I looked at each other and lifted the bed sheet to look under the bed. At the moment when we both lowered our heads, Xiao Baitang put his hand on the back of my head. I felt a slight chill on the back of my head and my body shuddered: I've been tricked!
When I turned my eyes to look at Ye Jin, the latter's face turned red and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Damn it!"
Before I could say anything, I was pressed to the ground by the tremendous force from Xiao Baitang's hand. As soon as my body touched the ground, I could no longer use the strength in my body.
Soon, I felt someone grab my ankle, take off my shoes, and lift one of my legs into the air. The next moment, I suddenly felt a chill in the tendon of my foot. Someone put a knife on my ankle - he was going to cut my tendon!
Lamb leg, without the hooves, must be cut off before serving. That person is slaughtering me like a lamb!
The paper-thin blade cut my skin in just one stroke. If the opponent accelerated a little, my tendons would break immediately, and the sharp knife would immediately cut into my flesh along the bone gap and remove my foot bit by bit.
At this moment, what else can I do except grit my teeth
At the critical moment, I suddenly heard a light "pop" sound above my head, as if something exploded in an instant. The hands holding my ankle suddenly loosened, and my right foot raised in the air fell to the ground defenselessly, making a light sound on the floor.
Xiao Baitang's hand that was pressing on our heads suddenly lost its strength, and Ye Jin and I jumped up at the same time and looked at Xiao Baitang. When Xiao Baitang and I looked at each other, I clearly saw a dark golden light flashing in her eyes.
Although I only saw the afterglow of the golden light, I still felt as if I was suddenly struck by a sharp sword, with a chill and murderous aura. I took a step back involuntarily. The buttons on my chest broke and a sharp pain suddenly arose in my chest. When I looked down, there was already a two or three inch long cut on my chest.
After the golden light in Xiao Baitang's eyes dissipated, he immediately regained his spirits: "Brother Wu Zhao, what's wrong with you? Did you see the sword light in my eyes just now?"
Before I could say anything, I heard Ye Jin say, "Xiao Baitang, what's wrong with you? What did you just do..."
I raised my hand slightly to stop Ye Jin from asking questions, because I saw that Xiao Baitang's bracelet had broken into two pieces, and the largest bead broke in half from the middle, revealing a piece of paper inside.
I quickly unfolded the note and saw that it actually said: Here is a great gift, protect Xiaotang. The signature was "Seventh Shuilan".
Big gift
Little white sugar is the gift that Seventh Water Blue gave me!
Seventh Shuilan not only sent Little White Sugar over, but also sealed a talisman or something like that in her bracelet. It was that talisman that saved my life at the critical moment just now.
Ye Jin and Xiao Baitang didn't even see what was written on the note, and the note in my hand suddenly burst into flames and burned to ashes in an instant. Ye Jin was surprised and asked, "Zhaozi, what's on the note?"
I waved at Ye Jin and turned to look in the direction of Maozi. Although Maozi was still standing on the washbasin stand, he was obviously unconscious, motionless like a wooden sculpture. I waved my hand in front of Maozi's eyes twice, and seeing that he didn't respond, I said to Ye Jin: "Maozi's soul seems to be locked up, you should put a soul-returning talisman on it."
When Ye Jin turned around to look for the talisman, I asked Xiao Baitang, "Who suggested that you come here to be the referee?"
"It was the Seventh Ghost King." Xiao Baitang said, "She insisted on letting me come, and the emperor agreed to her request. I don't know what the Seventh Ghost King said to the emperor, but the emperor insisted on letting me come. But..."
Xiao Baitang said: "I think the Seventh Ghost King seems to be seriously injured. When I saw her in Senluo Palace, she looked very bad."
"It's indeed her!" It seems that the Seventh Shui Lan must have forced himself to calculate something. The reason why she was injured was because she suffered the backlash of the way of heaven.
Seventh Shuilan paid such a huge price to send Xiao Baitang to me, it was definitely not just to give me a big gift.
I can't understand the purpose of the Seventh Shuilan, and I can't understand the ghost realm even more.
I hesitated for a moment before asking Xiao Baitang, "What was in your eyes just now?"
"Sword Light!" Little White Sugar said, "The Emperor and the others dote on me, not because they like me, but because I can practice the Hell Gate's unique skill - the Shocking Sword Light."
Xiao Baitang pointed to his eyes and said: "In the past, people who practiced the stunning sword light used sword fingers, but my sword light is in my eyes."
I leaned over and looked into Xiao Baitang's eyes: "Did the sword light damage your eyes?"
"It should be... No..." Xiao Baitang didn't seem to want to continue this topic, and I didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Maozi also woke up, and I immediately asked: "Maozi, what happened to you just now?"
"I don't know!" Maozi said, "I just felt a chill on my body, and then I knew nothing."
Xiao Baitang whispered: "I... I was also..."
Xiao Baitang was right next to me just now. Although he didn't lean on me, the distance between us was definitely no more than one foot. I didn't feel any ghost nearby at all.
When I rushed to the door, I deliberately looked at Maozi. He was still able to move at that time, and was no more than two meters away from me, and even closer to Ye Jin. In addition, he was an immortal himself, and his perception of spirits was much stronger than that of a sorcerer. However, he was controlled by the other party silently.
What on earth was that thing that just came over
Ye Jin said in a deep voice: "Zhao Zi, what should we do now? Should we set up a battle formation?"
I shook my head and said, "No need! There is no use setting up a formation for a spirit that none of us four can feel. Instead, it is easy for us to be misled by the formation. Let's just take it one step at a time!"
"But..." Ye Jin had just said one sentence when a scream came from the direction of Xuan Jingsi. Then, the sounds of more than ten masters breaking through the door were heard one after another.
In less than two or three seconds, I heard the waiter at the door say, "Sir, the lamb leg you ordered is here, and it's fresh!"
