The night wind whistled through the woods, making a rustling sound.
'Crackle...Crackle...Crackle...'
The shadows of the trees fell on the flickering lights of the hanging tower, creating an eerie scene, as if something was twisting inside. Seeing this, the Taoist's raised arms froze in mid-air, the peach wood sword in his hand trembled, and a bag of powder in his sleeve was about to fall out. He quickly reached out to grab it and stuffed it back inconspicuously. These were the guys he earned his living from, and if someone saw them, his career would be over.
He originally came here to defraud money and gain some reputation. Some rich people had done too many bad things and were suspicious. The Taoist priest was a professional in fooling them so that the financiers could feel at ease and he could also make money. As for whether there were ghosts in the world, the Taoist priest had never thought about it. But now, he really had attracted a ghost and he wished he could slap himself hard in the face.
At this moment, he could see clearly that the peach wood sword he was holding was suspended in the air, neither falling nor raising. It was shaking slightly, and his legs covered by his Taoist robe were trembling wildly.
"Master Jin, is that ghost coming?" People gathered around trembling. The assistant looked at the shaking forest in fear and moved towards the Taoist priest with small steps. Seeing that the Taoist priest did not respond, he called out again, "Master?"
"Gu~~"
Taoist Jin swallowed his saliva, his hands and feet were cold, he ignored the questions and stared straight at the woods. Amid the rustling of branches and leaves, the flickering lights dimmed and then lit up again, and suddenly a tall, thin shadow stood at the edge of the woods. The next second, the lights on the crane dimmed again and lit up again, and the figure had walked out of the woods and was standing on the yellow mud over there, staring at him.
In an instant, the chill was like ants crawling up everyone's backs and necks. Even the assistant, who usually handled everything with a cold face, had his pupils constricted in an instant and took two steps back in fear. If the Taoist priest hadn't been here, he would have turned around and got into the car and drove away.
"Master Jin, the ghost is coming out!"
The lights in the crane dimmed again, and there were rustling footsteps in the darkness. The lights came on again, and the tall and thin figure stood under the crane, leaning over and looking at them. The moment the lights went out, the shadow's mouth opened to reveal a smile.
The darkness came again, a group of people screamed "Ah!" "Ghost!" The people from the group and the security guards on the construction site ran away. In the chaos, some people bumped into each other and cried out in pain. The Taoist priest on the altar over there felt a gust of cold wind blowing on his face, and was so scared that he grabbed the peach wood sword in his hand and chopped randomly.
Even those who were extremely frightened still had the courage to fight, and screamed at the top of their lungs: "Hey, that evil spirit, look at my peach wood sword... look at my talisman paper to suppress evil... Hey ah ah ah ah~~~~"
He grabbed a few talismans from the altar and scattered them around with his eyes closed. He jumped and hacked on the spot, and felt the lights in the hanging tower come on again. He opened his eyes quickly and looked around with a grim expression. The people were running around in panic in a chaos, and they were almost paralyzed on the ground, all staring at him with wide eyes.
"What are you looking at me doing?"
The assistant who was slumped not far away slowly raised his right hand and pointed behind him with trembling hands. Taoist Jin's heart suddenly skipped a beat and his legs began to tremble again.
'Fuck you... There are so many people chasing me, why are you targeting me so much when I'm just standing here?'
The Taoist swallowed his saliva. He still knew some taboos and did not dare to look back. He took small and careful steps out. However, his shoulders suddenly sank, and Taoist Jin's face turned pale. He glanced sideways.
I saw a hand with five long fingers placed on my shoulder. The hand was covered with bumps like the bark of an old tree, which was very creepy.
Next second.
A long face suddenly drooped from one side, with empty eye sockets and dark eyes, staring at him intently. The Taoist's soul seemed to fly out of his body in an instant, and his crotch was wet. The suppressed emotions finally burst out, "Oh my god!!!"
The screaming sound echoed back to the empty construction site. Lu Liangsheng, who was standing under a tree on the yellow mud slope, chuckled. It turned out that the Taoist priest was just showing off his cleverness and came here to deceive people. It was similar to the situation at the Chen Mansion in Fushui County back then.
'It seems that even if a thousand years have passed and the world has changed, there will always be people like this.'
As he was thinking about it, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that several people who had walked into the construction site gate were approaching that direction. One of them suddenly raised his arm. Just as the Taoist priest screamed, something flew out of his hand. There was no light, no sound, and it fell to the ground near the altar and stuck.
"What is that?" Lu Liangsheng had extraordinary eyesight, so he could see it clearly.
I saw a piece of metal on the ground that looked like a gyroscope, and it made two dripping sounds. The slender ghost who was pressing on the Taoist's shoulder seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look at the ground next to him. The dripping sound stopped abruptly, and suddenly it opened with a "click". The ring on the top rose up, and before it could react, a circle of ripples appeared in the air. In the vibration, particles that ordinary people could not see collided with each other, and the negative energy that permeated the ghost's body was instantly cleared. The strung-together particles moved, forming a cover that bound the ghost in place.
The ghost raised his hand and smashed it, but was blocked by the invisible wall in the air. He tried to control the cold wind, but could only control his body. It was still calm outside.
"People in front, please step back. We should leave this matter to professionals!"
A sound was heard in the distance, and suddenly a ghost was seen trapped. Everyone here turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, only to see four people coming from the gate of the construction site, holding things that looked like guns in their hands. Behind them were two big men in suits with headsets. They ignored the people here and went straight to the ghost. They opened the square box in their hands, put it on the ground, adjusted the data, and nodded to the other man and woman.
"Stranglehold ready, over."
Another big man in a suit also reported: "The separator is ready."
After saying this, they both stood up and moved away.
The man and woman holding guns looked at each other. The woman looked at the ghost trapped in the spot, then looked around, urging her male companion who was still yelling.
"Hurry up and leave. The higher-ups said there are even more ominous things here. Don't delay it for too long."
"Don't worry, that's just a legend, just listen to their nonsense."
The man picked his ears, and seeing the glare from his female companion, he relaxed his shoulders, took out the remote control from his arms, pressed the button, and a red dot lit up. The two devices placed over there instantly lit up, and two electric snakes, one yellow and one blue, reached over, as if they had bitten their prey and began to tear it apart frantically.
Sizzle~Sizzle~
Amid the sound of electricity running through the air, the ghosts trapped in the darkness twisted and flapped wildly in the flashes of lightning. Puffs of black smoke rose from their bodies. In the isolated space, the ghosts seemed to be roaring in pain, scaring the group of people who had come before them so much that they stood there in a daze, trembling with fear.
Not long after, the ghost figure began to tremble violently all over. The next second, right in people's sight, it exploded into a ball of black mist with a "bang", and branches, bark mixed with green mucus splashed everywhere.
"Clean it up, take the remains of this monster and bring them back to Z6 Laboratory." The young man patted a piece of bark on his shoulder, pressed the headset to give an order to the two big men, and then took out a sprayer from his jacket pocket, tossed it in his hand, and smiled at the woman:
"It's time to clear these people's memories."
"Hurry and get to work."
The woman was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned around. In the dim light, her eyes swept across the Qixia Mountain. Looking at the mountains standing in the darkness, her heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason. A woman's sixth sense is always very accurate. She always felt like something was going to happen, which made her uneasy.
…
"Interesting." On the yellow mud slope of Xiaoquan Mountain, Toad Taoist appeared on the bookshelf at some point and stood on the old donkey's head, looking at everything below with his flippers on his back.
"But they are just some clever tricks. In front of me, they are nothing but a yawn."
"They are just mountain spirits and wood ghosts. But how can these things be born when the spiritual energy is so thin?"
Lu Liangsheng looked at the novel scene over there and thought about this question when his eyes suddenly looked elsewhere, like the western foot of Mount Qixia where he had been before. The corners of his mouth suddenly stretched into a smile.
"It looks like there will be more tonight. I wonder if this group of people can handle it."
Toad Taoist also felt it, but his toad eyes showed doubt.
"This demonic aura is comparable to that of Mu Qiyou back then... But... why does the master feel that it is somewhat familiar?"
The night wind suddenly blew stronger, and the surrounding hills and forests were shaking. Lu Liangsheng nodded. This evil spirit was extraordinary and the mortals below could not handle it.
