When the ghost money on Luoshadao stopped moving, I also said, "Ye Jin, free one hand, feel the wall and walk to the right, and push the door open when you find it."
Ye Jin stretched out a hand and held mine. I used my other hand to hold Xiao Baitang tightly and slowly moved forward: "Stay close to the wall, and don't let go."
Before we walked far, Xiao Baitang whispered, "Brother Wu Zhao, why do I feel like there's someone in the wall... Someone's looking at me through the cracks in the wall."
"It's okay." I said in a deep voice, "Just be careful. If he doesn't come out, don't worry about him."
It wasn't just Xiao Baitang, I also felt that there was someone trapped in the wall. A few seconds ago, when my chest just passed through a thumb-width crack in the wall, I felt someone pressing it.
The man seemed to have forced a finger out from the crack in the wall and shook it up and down desperately, trying to remind me that there was someone in the wall.
The other party actually hit me in the chest three or four times in a row, but I pretended to be unaware and walked past the crack in the wall. The other party quickly aimed at Xiao Baitang.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a finger poking my chest, and a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. My eyes involuntarily looked at the thumb-thick crack in the wall. There was half a human face hidden in it, staring at me fiercely with one eye open, constantly rolling his eyeballs, and trying hard to look at the tip of his nose. His mouth was sealed, sewn back and forth with several layers of hemp rope, and there was a walnut-sized hole on the edge of the hemp rope soaked with blood.
Will someone feed him
I shuddered immediately - I had heard of an ancient torture method, which was to sew up the prisoner's lips, then use a knife to make a hole in his cheek, and feed him water and food through the hole to keep the prisoner alive.
The man in the wall was not asking me for help, but was thinking of me as someone who fed him.
The person who should come to feed him, should it be at this time
After I was startled, I suddenly heard the sound of a spoon hitting an iron basin in the distance. It sounded like someone was walking towards us while knocking on the rice bowl out of boredom.
I whispered, "Ye Jin, hurry up!"
After Ye Jin quickened his pace, the sound of the man knocking on the iron basin followed him. The faster Ye Jin walked, the faster the sound of the man knocking on the basin became. After just a few seconds, the sound stopped abruptly beside me, as if the man was standing not far from me.
I clearly felt a cold gaze looking at me from the darkness, but I couldn't find the other person's position: "Ye Jin, hurry up!"
Xiao Baitang's fingers tightened slightly, as if she wanted to turn around, but I pulled her back. I knew she was going to use the Shocking Sword Light, but I always felt that there should be some drawbacks to that kind of thing.
Little Sugar quickly wrote on the palm of my hand with her fingers: "I can knock him out!"
I pinched Xiao Baitang gently a few times, meaning to tell her not to act rashly.
Just at this moment, Ye Jin suddenly leaned forward and turned into the door. After I followed him into the door, the door behind me slammed shut. At the same time, it seemed like hundreds of people suddenly appeared around us, surrounding us.
A moment later, the crowd surrounding us moved together, tightening the encirclement by a few meters. Unbearable pressure suddenly came towards us from all directions.
As Ye Jin drew his sword in anger, the ghost suddenly moved forward, and the cold wind brought by the ghost came from all around me.
Just as Xiao Baitang was about to move, I hugged her in my arms, covered her eyes with my hands, and freed one hand to pull out the Rakshasa.
As the ghost eye money spun wildly, a heavy breathing sound came half a foot closer to my face. As the other party's cold breath sprayed on my face, I suddenly opened my ghost eye and looked forward.
The red light from the ghost eye only advanced an inch before it was blocked back by some force.
I knew clearly that the ghost standing opposite me was only an inch away, but I couldn't see the other person's face clearly.
"Brother Wu Zhao, let go..." When Xiao Baitang grabbed my arm with both hands and tried to pull my hand down, I suddenly raised my hand and threw out the Rakshasa. When the buzzing sound of the three-foot-long sword flew in the air and headed straight to the east, I also jumped in the direction where the long sword flew.
Luosha attacked as fast as a whirlwind, but I followed closely behind. When I heard the handle of the knife swirling in front of me with a heavy sound of wind, I reached out and grasped the handle. I exerted force with both arms at the same time, forcibly changing Luosha's trajectory, and chopped down with the back of the knife not far away.
When I dropped the knife, a scream suddenly came from the air. The Xuanming Qi bursting out from my hands flowed between the blades, and I pressed down with both hands at the same time, forcing the target to fall to the ground.
As the other person fell to the ground, the ghosts around me disappeared instantly. I immediately shouted, "Ye Jin, capture him!"
When Ye Jin rushed over following my voice, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Maozi? Zhaozi, why did you knock Maozi down?"
"He's a traitor!" I put away my knife coldly, fumbled to grab the cat, and tied a red rope around him a few times, "Ye Jin, seal it, we'll leave now!"
Ye Jin took out a sack from his backpack, and put the cat into it through my hand. I then tied a few more layers of ghost-killing money around the outside: "Come with me!"
After I turned the ghost money in my hand again, I determined a new direction and ran in that direction with Ye Jin and Xiao Baitang. After the three of us ran for a mile or two, the ghost money stopped giving instructions.
I roughly felt around and found that I seemed to have walked into a pavilion: "Stop first! Let the cat out."
After Ye Jin untied the sack, I grabbed Maozi's neck and lifted him up in the air: "How can you light up the surroundings?"
"I don't know. Are you..." Before Maozi could finish his words, my hand suddenly tightened: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will break your neck immediately."
Maozi finally got scared: "Use rhino horn powder. Use rhino horn powder to make it light."
Although rhino horn powder is used to illuminate ghosts, it is rarely used by sorcerers. One reason is that sorcerers have eye skills and can easily see ghosts, so rhino horn powder is dispensable to sorcerers; another reason is that after the rhino horn powder is lit, it is equivalent to a bright lamp, and everything within a few meters can be easily illuminated, which may cause unnecessary trouble for the sorcerer. Therefore, sorcerers generally do not use rhino horns for lighting.
Ye Jin whispered: "I didn't bring that thing."
Xiao Baitang said, "I have some rhino horn powder. Do you want some?"
"Light it!" While I was speaking, Xiao Baitang had already poured the rhino horn powder on the candle. The faint green light instantly illuminated an area of more than one meter, but it was still pitch black in the distance.
The first thing I looked at was not Maozi, but Xiao Baitang's eyes. Her pupils looked like she had just cried. They were bloodshot from the inside out, and there were even traces of tears at the corners of her eyes that she hadn't had time to wipe away.
The stunning sword mango would of course damage her eyes.
I looked at Maozi coldly: "Who are you working for?"
Maozi denied it flatly: "Wu Zhao, are you mistaken? Besides following you, who else can I serve?"
My face sank. "Maozi, let's not beat around the bush. I really don't know how you got the guts to follow me after Duan Yunfei sold you out."
Ye Jin was surprised and asked, "When did Duan Yunfei sell him out?"
I looked at Maozi and said, "Think about it yourself. When Duan Yunfei wanted to cooperate with me for the last time, he directly pointed out that the blood letter was the way of heaven. I only told you these words. If no one leaked them out, how did he know?"
Maozi said sharply, "There are sorcerers among them, too. Can't they guess it?"
I sneered and said, "If their fortune teller was still alive, I would believe it. Unfortunately, their fortune teller is gone."
I looked at Maozi and said, "The most important point is that after Xiao Baitang's bracelet broke, we all escaped. Why did you wait for him to move? Were you communicating with someone through spirits? You passed on all our situations through spirits, right?"
"Nonsense, nonsense..." Maozi denied, "Wu Zhao, how did I offend you that you wanted to frame me like this?"
I said in a deep voice: "If Duan Yunfei's words are not enough as evidence, let me ask you, who pressed Xiao Baitang's acupoints just now?"
After I rushed out of the inn, I never let go of Xiao Baitang. The reason why she fell stiffly near me was because someone pressed her acupoints silently.
That person could only have come from behind Xiao Baitang, so after I released Xiao Baitang, I helped her untie the acupoints as soon as possible.
Maozi said sternly: "How should I know? I..."
I pulled Xiao Baitang over and asked her to turn around. Two white spots appeared on her clothes on the back, as if they were scratched by bird claws. "Don't tell me there are other birds of prey in this place besides you."
I said in a deep voice, "Since I kicked the ghost lying in front of me to pieces with the Soul-Breaking Spear, I knew that the things that appeared nearby were not the real Man-Eating Well, but a trick created by someone on purpose. You were the one who did it, right? Are you going to leave us here and wait for your master to catch up?"
While Maozi was speechless, Ye Jin grabbed him fiercely and said, "Tell me, what other plot do you have?"
Maozi was silent for a long time before he said, "I'll tell you everything I know. Can you spare my life?"
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Maozi immediately said, "Although I don't know much, it is very important to you. If I die, you won't know anything, and sooner or later you will suffer a great loss at the hands of those two wolves Duan Yunfei and Lin Jingyuan..."
