We ran back to the entrance of the village, and seeing that there was no movement, we tiptoed into the village. We still remember Zhao Chengshi's house very clearly. We walked forward less than a hundred meters, turned north into an alley, and found the house on the east side of the road. The door was closed, and we pushed it with our hands, but it was bolted from the inside.
When building a house in the countryside, people are afraid that the gatehouse will be lower than their neighbors if it is not high enough. It is almost the same as a two-story building, and the wall is three meters high. There are even broken glass inserted on it to prevent thieves. My God, Shen Bing and I climbed up and accidentally cut our hands twice. It’s good that this way, so that I don’t have to bite my fingers when chanting spells and using magic. Let this buddy take a vacation.
The whole yard was pitch black, with an eerie atmosphere. There was no light in the house, but I knew Zhao Xiaosheng must be inside. Because the door was locked from the inside, it was impossible for him to climb over the wall so high.
I whispered in Shen Bing's ear, "Wait in the yard. If the evil spirit escapes, use the copper coin sword and the 'Original Secret Mantra' to stop it."
Shen Bing said softly, and I crouched down and walked up the steps to the door. I had already clenched the copper coins in my hand, and the peach wood sword was also inserted on my waist. In my right hand, I pinched a talisman, which was a talisman I had picked out long ago to drive away evil spirits. The door was not locked, and I pushed it with my hand. It made a creepy "creaking" sound and slowly opened backwards.
I held my right hand in a seal on my chest to prevent the evil spirit from attacking me. After a pause, I found nothing moving, so I took a step forward, turned on the flashlight, and looked around. The room looked the same as when I came here before, and there was basically no change. I saw Zhao Chengshi's portrait on the table facing the door, with a dejected look on his face, which made me angry.
I used the flashlight to scan the room several times. There was no one in the room. Could he be in the back room? Just as I was about to go in, I suddenly smelled the smell of burning incense. I turned around in surprise and saw that in the incense burner in front of Zhao Chengshi's portrait, three incense sticks had been lit at some point, and the smoke was wafting away.
My heart suddenly shuddered. I remembered that when I entered the room just now, there were three incense sticks in the incense burner, but they were extinguished. Who lit them in such a short time right under my nose? There is a saying that ghosts light incense. Incense has both the function of offering sacrifices and exorcising evil spirits. Generally, ghosts only smell the scent from a distance and dare not touch this thing up close. Only those dead things above the level of evil spirits dare to do this.
As I was looking at the incense, I suddenly noticed that Zhao Chengshi's face in the portrait twitched, which gave me goose bumps. I should learn from anyone, but Old Yan. I looked at the portrait again, and Zhao Chengshi's expression was no longer depressed, but had turned into a sly smile. Yes, he was smiling!
I couldn't help but clench the coin in my palm. Old Yan's soul did not leave at that time, and was hiding in his own photo. But Zhao Chengshi died in Death Valley, and it was impossible for his soul to come out. What's going on? Who is playing tricks on me
Just when I was nervous, I suddenly heard a gust of wind above my head, followed by a cold breath. The damn thing was hiding above and attacking me by surprise. I quickly dodged to the side, first scattered copper coins, and chanted a spell, but after the copper coin array was set up, no yellow light flashed, which meant there was no evil spirit!
Just as I was feeling surprised, I felt a pair of hands holding me under my feet and pulling me forward. I immediately lost my balance and fell backwards. I hurriedly used my right hand to support myself on the ground, but I didn't stand up. But before I could get up, someone jumped on my chest. I fell hard on the hard ground.
The small flashlight fell to the ground and went out, and the scene in front of me was suddenly plunged into darkness.
