The crisp and strange sounds of the small Yinluo and the soul-catching bell rang in the silent villa. The ghost corpse jumped with creepy "thump thump" steps. With every step, the corpse-suppressing talisman on its forehead would flutter. This reminded Shen Bing, Lu Fei and me of the horrific memories of that night in Xiangxi.
Ma Yunxi led the way in front, and I beat the gong to drive the corpses away from behind, while the four of them followed timidly behind. As we walked forward, the lights in the small building suddenly lit up in a few windows, and then went out carelessly, followed by a woman's scream, which sounded particularly shrill in the dark night.
Damn it, there’s such a big noise in the villa tonight, I wonder if there will be any curious residents coming over to take a peek. If they see this, they’ll be scared to death!
When we reached the flower bed, Ma Yunxi suddenly stopped, turned around and said to me: "There seems to be an ambush on the ground!" She had lived in a dark cave for a long time, and her eyesight was very good. She could see things in the pitch-black night.
I stopped the gong and turned back to ask Lu Fei and Qu Mo to check the situation. They ran over quickly, turned on a flashlight, and saw three red ropes pulled up on the road ahead, all half a foot off the ground, which were obviously designed to trip up the ghost corpse.
Lu Fei was afraid that there was a trap on it, so he didn't dare to touch the red rope directly with his hands. Instead, he burned a talisman and threw it over. The three red ropes broke when they came into contact with fire, but at the moment they broke, a black mist suddenly surged from both sides and quickly surrounded us.
Qu Mo's face changed, and he said in shock: "It's the resentment of the corpse!"
I thought it was not good. It seemed that after we used the ghost corpse, the other party lost their patience and finally brought out the resentment of the corpse tomb to attack us. Although we were not afraid of this thing, we could only run away if we couldn't defeat it. But the ghost corpse couldn't run away. If the resentment knocked away the corpse talisman, it would cause a disaster that was difficult to deal with.
Without thinking too much, he immediately said to Qu Mo: "You and Lu Fei block the resentment and open a passage. We will drive the ghost corpse into the swimming pool!"
Why do we have to drive the corpse? Wouldn't it be easier to just carry it up and throw it in? I need to explain here, because when carrying her, you must be careful and wrap her body with a red rope. In addition, if she is not used to the steps of driving corpses in advance, the spiritual effect will be greatly reduced. If the red rope is not removed, she will be a dead body when she goes in, and will be swallowed by the corpse tomb.
Qu Mo and Lu Fei nodded, one quickly transformed, and rushed into the black fog. The other drew out the copper coin sword, burned talismans and chanted spells. The black fog slowed down the encirclement speed, but it did not stop completely, and we were still advancing slowly.
While they were resisting the attack of the corpse qi, Ma Yunxi and I rang the bell and struck the gong again, and the ghost corpse jumped up and jumped forward. But after only two steps, a beam of fire suddenly appeared on the ground from the direction of the small building, burning straight along the lawn on one side of the cobblestone path.
I thought to myself, this is not an ordinary fire, it is not easy to put out. If it burns the ghost corpse, even if the corpse-suppressing talisman and the talisman that seals the ears and eyes are not burned, she will still be frightened and turn into a crazy beast. Damn, I want to go over, but I dare not leave. Without the control of the little Yinluo, it will cause even more chaos.
Shen Bing and Wang Zijun were smart. Seeing that we were busy, they rushed to the front together. Wang Zijun jumped to step on the fire line, but he failed to put out the fire and burned his leather shoes. The monkey boy screamed in pain and fell to the ground and rolled into the flowerbed. Shen Bing was stunned, dodged to the side, bent down, stretched out the copper coin sword and stabbed the ground in front of the fire line, and the fire was strangely blocked.
To be honest, I haven't figured out how to break this line of fire yet, but Shen Bing blocked it by mistake. But after a while, the front end of the line of fire forked, and became two lines of fire that bypassed the copper coin sword and spread forward. Shen Bing was at a loss now, and looked at me, as if he wanted to ask for help, but when he saw the creepy appearance of the ghost corpse, he turned around and shouted, "Pointy-headed ghost, come over and help me!"
"I'm coming!" This kid came very fast. When he saw the two lines of fire splitting on the ground, his face turned ugly. But then he opened his mouth and sucked, and the line of fire rose from the ground and went into his mouth like a train. "Ahem... Master, this is the 'Yizhong Fire', the evil spirit is too strong, I can't bear it if I suck it for too long..." The kid shouted incoherently while sucking the line of fire into his mouth.
My heart trembled. I had heard from my father that the clothing grave fire was a kind of self-defense skill of the evil sorcerers. It used the clothes worn by the deceased in the clothing grave to make fire, which could ward off evil spirits. If the pointy-headed ghost inhaled too much of this stuff, it would really die.
"Hold on, we'll get it done soon!" I shouted and continued to beat the gong.
Ma Yunxi walked around the line of fire in front, not daring to walk too fast, but was only a few steps away from the pool. Fortunately, Lu Fei and Qu Mo managed to resist the resentment of the corpse, and we drove the ghost corpse to the swimming pool without any danger. Ma Yunxi flew up, shaking the soul-catching bell while passing over the pool. The ghost corpse didn't know that there was a pool in front of it, and jumped in with a "plop", and instantly sank under the water and was submerged above his head.
At this moment, the fire line was quickly extinguished, and the thick black fog on both sides quickly retreated and drilled into the blood-red pool. I knew that the other party wanted to urgently close the entrance to the Corpse Grave to prevent the ghost corpse from sneaking in. Damn it, how can it be so easy? Can you open it as you like
I immediately took out a bunch of incense and a heavenly thunder and earthly fire talisman, and before the black fog completely retreated back into the pool, I lit a fierce fire that burned along the surface of the pool to the other side, almost burning Ma Yunxi who had just stood firm. She stood up, jumped to the side, then pinched her fingers and kept shaking the soul-catching bell, her lips moved slightly, and she whispered a spell.
The underground fire cut the retreating black fog in half from the water surface. The cluster of black fog above it swayed back and forth in the air for a few times like a headless fly. Only after the underground fire disappeared did it hurriedly disappear into the water surface.
At this time Ma Yunxi retracted his finger gestures and nodded to me, indicating that the task was accomplished and the ghost corpse had already gone in!
The ghost corpse has entered, so what should I do? It’s my first time to communicate with a corpse, and I know nothing about Zhuyouke witchcraft.
Ma Yunxi flew back across the pond. In the dark night, she was like a beautiful female ghost walking on water...
Damn, that can only be creepy. Buddy used the wrong metaphor. It should be as ethereal and graceful as the fairy Lingbo.
She stood in front of me and told me to sit cross-legged on the ground, close my eyes and concentrate. No matter what happened outside, I should not be disturbed by it and should not open my eyes. I had no choice but to do as she said. As soon as I sat down and closed my eyes, I felt a finger poking at the Yuzhen point at the back of my head. Then my eyelids lit up and a ball of dark green light flashed. The scary face of the ghost corpse stood up in it, swaying!
