When I woke up, I felt sore and weak all over, and even opening my eyelids was a struggle. It was still pitch black in front of me, and I smelled a strong stench. As my consciousness gradually returned, I heard a heavy breathing sound in my ears, which sounded like Shen Bing's breathing, and I felt that I was held in her arms.
"Where is this?" I struggled hard to stand up, but I couldn't move at all. My whole body was as soft as noodles and I couldn't even lift a finger.
"Don't move. Taoist Xuanzhen said you'll be fine by daybreak." Shen Bing said, panting.
"Xuanzhen?" My mind was in a mess. What was going on? So I asked her, "What happened?"
Shen Bing hummed, and then after she adjusted her breathing, she told me that the antique shop owner bit me before he died, and his teeth were poisonous, so I fainted on the spot. The owner's ghost mistook us for murderers and tried desperately to kill both of us. Shen Bing's half-knife magic was sometimes effective and sometimes not, and she was worried about my situation, so she made mistakes in her anxiety and almost got strangled to death by the old ghost. At the critical moment, Xuan Zhen appeared in time to fend off the owner's ghost, and let her carry me out of the antique shop.
But Xuan Zhen seemed very weak, and couldn't even fight against the old ghost who just died. He could only advise Shen Bing to go into the nearby sewer. Because the sewer was full of mud and stinky water, it was the filthiest place. It couldn't stop the evil ghost, but it was more than enough to stop a newly dead ghost. So Shen Bing didn't care about the dirtiness, and opened a sewer manhole cover nearby and jumped down. While she was gasping for breath, I woke up.
After she finished speaking, she asked curiously, "You were poisoned, how come you woke up? Taoist Xuanzhen also said that you would be well by dawn, I just can't figure it out."
Oh my god, from what she said, I should die if I was poisoned. How would I know what happened? I guess it was Taoist Xuan Zhen who helped me, right? Just as I was about to speak, I heard a burst of "hehe" ghost laughter behind me, which made a strange echo in the sewer, and my scalp tingled.
Fuck his uncle, I am weak all over now. If I am caught by a ghost at this moment, I will be bullied by a dog. Shen Bing's half-knife is not enough to deal with ordinary ghosts, let alone the evil ghosts who dare to enter the filthy places. They are definitely not cheap goods. Shen Bing may not be able to deal with them.
"Don't move. Lean against the wall first. I'll go... take a look." Shen Bing helped me lean against the wall of the sewer pipe, but at the end, he seemed to lack confidence.
"Don't go, let the pointed ghost go and drive that thing away." I took a deep breath and thought to myself, you stupid girl, why didn't you shoot the little arrow in the antique shop just now
"We released the little white flag in the antique shop a long time ago, but the little arrowhead smelled something and flew away without paying any attention to us and took the little white flag with it. It hasn't come back yet!" Shen Bing became more and more angry as he spoke. If the pointy-headed ghost was around, he would bite him.
I was stunned. Could there be another black wooden plate here? This thing is not a toy sold on the street. You can get as many as you want. It is impossible for there to be so many, right? Thinking of this, my heart suddenly moved, and I said to Shen Bing, "Didn't you pick up the black wooden plate in Duanlong Village?"
Shen Bing slapped his head and said, "Oh, right, I just put it in my bag and forgot about it."
No wonder, after leaving Qinling, we kept on going, our minds were full of the sad image of the big-foot fairy Qingling, and the reluctant Xiao Hei, and with the tight schedule, we really forgot about the black wooden plate. If the little white flag hadn't disappeared, we wouldn't have remembered it.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind surged from behind, mixed with a huge stench, damn, it almost choked me to death.
"Quick, get the black wooden plate!" I shouted.
Shen Bing said "Oh" and seemed very flustered. After making a rustling sound, Shen Bing cheered and said, "I found the black wooden plate. How do I use it?"
This question really stunned me. I haven't learned how to use this thing at all. There are so many black lines on it. It won't work if you pick the wrong one. It also requires a spell, and I don't even know the spell.
"Let's use the talisman!" I said helplessly.
At this moment, a ghostly laugh was heard in the gloomy wind, less than three meters behind us. Damn it, a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on my head. Judging from the powerful yin energy of this dead ghost, it is at least a ghost of the level. Whether Shen Bing can use the talisman to drive this dead thing away will determine whether the two of us can still live in the world after dawn.
Shen Bing's hand touching my shoulder suddenly trembled, and she quickly took it away. Then I heard the sound of taking out a talisman, and she only heard her chanting: "Wandering soul, where can you stay..."
I almost fainted and shouted, "That's the Soul Binding Curse. Turn on the flashlight and look at the talisman and the spell!"
Unexpectedly, Shen Bing said in a crying voice: "I was so anxious that I only remembered these few spells and forgot everything else!"
"I'll teach you, turn on the flashlight!"
"The flashlight was lost long ago."
After hearing this, my friend wanted to bang his head against the wall, but he didn't have the strength. I smiled bitterly and said, "Recite the general summoning spell, I'll teach you..."
Before he finished speaking, a ball of green light suddenly flashed behind him, attracting our attention. Fuck, we were scared to death after just one look. Three meters away, there was a ghost woman with half a face, disheveled hair, staring at us fiercely with one eye. Half of her head was bloody and it was scary enough, and the one eye emitted a strong green light, which illuminated half of her nose and half of her bloody mouth very clearly, giving us goose bumps all over our bodies.
Needless to say, this thing must be very ferocious. A ghost with a face like this must be someone who died suddenly. If someone dies suddenly, there must be resentment, which will form a fierce ghost. Among these fierce ghosts, there are different levels. Her appearance is called a "disfigured ghost", which is considered the best among the fierce ghosts. Originally, most of the fierce ghosts were female ghosts, and female ghosts, like women, care about their appearance. To become this ugly, it is really a resentment from heaven and earth, which is more resentful than losing limbs.
No wonder the dead thing is not afraid of coming to the filthy sewer. The resentment in her alone is enough to protect her from the invasion of this filth.
I was surprised and turned to glance at the yellow talisman in Shen Bing's hand. It was a golden spell talisman. I hurriedly said to her, "Quickly recite the primordial chaos and the beginning of the division of qi..."
Just after teaching a spell, Shen Bing hadn't reacted yet when the bitch with half of her face shook her hair. The hair suddenly grew three or four meters long. Each strand of hair became as hard and straight as iron wire, and it quickly wrapped around Shen Bing's neck and pulled her back violently.
Shen Bing screamed in pain, lost her balance, and flew away along the top of the sewer, passing over the dead woman's head and falling far into the stinky water. With a "plop" sound, a ball of black water splashed up. I closed my eyes. Shen Bing was such a clean person, and now she was soaked in stinky water, wouldn't she be sick to death
