Without looking at the time, I still couldn't tell the specific time outside. Before nightfall, it was already extremely dark, as if it was midnight.
Block people and doors, catch ghosts and find graves.
Lang Hongyi and I had been waiting in front of the red tasseled grave under the big tree for a long time, staring at the small tombstone in a daze.
Even the slightest disturbance in the surroundings can cause us to become enemies.
Waiting is an arduous and tiring thing. If we really fight for so long, maybe we are not as uncomfortable as we are now.
Sleepiness, nervousness, boredom, fear, and the fear that something might not be discovered in time continue to torture our nerves.
The night wind blew through the canopy of my uncle's tree, and the rustling sound always made me think there might be something up there, and I also felt like I was being stared at.
The mobile phones that Lang Hongyi and I were carrying had already run out of battery. We had no time to charge them during this period, and we couldn’t even check the time.
"Lang Hongyi, how long have we been guarding here? Why hasn't there been any movement? The Jian family has also collapsed. Apart from this, where else can we go? Has Hongying left?"
The fact that I can ask such a question shows that I am really bored and just passing the time by talking.
But Lang Hongyi didn't answer my question. I turned around and saw that he was looking up at the crown of the big tree above our heads.
I felt excited and immediately stood up, grabbed Lang Hongyi and walked a little further away.
"I'm going, I didn't pay attention just now. If Hongying attacks from above, why don't we just stay like that and wait for it to happen?"
Perhaps because of the change of position, Lang Hongyi suddenly became nervous. He even carried the blood salt bag given by Grandma Bai in his hand, and grabbed a handful in his hand, ready to attack at any time.
"Three vines, there's something on them, red!"
Can red things come out of big trees? It’s basically impossible!
I thought of Hongying's wedding dress and embroidered shoes. They were all a serious blood red color.
Just when I was about to pull out the bag of salt from my arms to prepare, a strong wind rose above the tree crown, and a man with a mottled and shabby wedding dress and disheveled hair who looked almost humanoid rushed towards us with his head down.
"Siha..." She also let out a strange scream, like a wild beast, more like a night owl with blood all over her body.
It's just that this figure, set off by the train of the wedding dress, is more than two meters long. Even with the vertical distance of the six or seven-meter-high tree, it still reached the place where we were standing very quickly.
"This should be Hongying from a hundred years later. Master Lang, be careful!"
I didn't have time to grab the salt, but Lang Hongyi did, so I pulled out the ghost-killing sword of Inner Qiankun to resist.
The blood salt in Lang Hongyi's hand has been thrown towards the position above my head!
Hit with one hit!
Almost in an instant, my ghost-killing sword touched the body of the thing, and the salt spilled by Lang Hongyi also hit the body of the thing.
Another white fluorescence lit up the surface of the red wedding dress, and this time it turned from white to red, rising with a white gas.
It seems that the blood salt really had an effect, and it was more powerful than my ghost-killing sword hitting her!
The thing also let out a truly painful roar from its mouth. The sound was so loud that it made people's ears hurt!
I shook my head, stunned by the shout, and pulled out the dagger in my boot with my backhand.
The old woman with two guns was once invincible, so I will create a double sword, and combine myself with myself. As long as I can deal with this Hongying who seems to have lost her mind, I will fight for it!
In order to prove that the Bai family's martial arts on Hongying's body had dissipated and could no longer withstand our attacks, Lang Hongyi and I struck with three swords of different lengths.
Even if Hongying could resist the attacks of these three swords with both hands, one of them would hit.
It's a pity that we still miscalculated Hongying's strength. During these one hundred years of confusion, she actually...
Two branches suddenly protruded from Hongying's body. They were as hard as swords and blocked our two daggers.
The clanging sound of iron weapons sounded, but Hongying was not damaged at all. Her free hands were strangely clasped in the air, blocking the attack of my ghost-killing sword. Even though her hand was injured by the talisman on the sword, no Yin Qi escaped.
.
Instead, dark green liquid like blood flowed out, and her face covered by black hair was exposed due to her painful shaking.
I half-raised my head and met Hongying's eyes in the air. I couldn't help but stumbled and took a few steps back.
The branches were so powerful that after blocking our bronze daggers, they became wrapped around us, making it difficult for us to withdraw.
More branches came from behind, and Lang Hongyi and I had to let go, and pushed back even more embarrassingly. Fortunately, my ghost-killing sword didn't let go, and was pulled out from Hongying's two ghost claws.
Both daggers were confiscated!
This pulling made the dark green liquid flow more violently.
It also resisted Hongying's opportunity to kill us.
At this time, Hongying was hanging in the air, and the branches growing from her body were waving wildly.
I don't know if she was hanging in the air by herself or if she used branches to hang herself in mid-air under the big tree.
"Sanman, are you okay?"
We retreated nearly ten meters and stood in the shadow of the moon, and those branches obviously had a weakness, that is, they could not extend beyond the shadow of the big tree's crown.
It is precisely because of this that Lang Hongyi and I were able to avoid the crisis of being tied into rice dumplings and hung up.
"It's okay, how did this Hongying become such a virtuous person?"
That's right, the face I saw just now made me realize that Hongying has changed a lot.
Although a resentful spirit may transform into an evil spirit within a hundred years, no matter how it changes, the essence of this thing is still a soul.
It's impossible to say that his eyes are green, his face is covered with lines of tree roots, and it's even more impossible to condense such powerful branches into an entity to attack!
She is a ghost, not some dryad!
A grumble in my heart suddenly dawned on me, and I shouted loudly to Lang Hongyi, "No! This red tassel has merged with the big tree on the grave!"
This also explains why Lang Hongyi was able to easily dispel the Bai family's skills just with a handful of blood salt.
It turns out that the reason why Hongying has done nothing else in the past hundred years is that she has been transferring her ghost power and Bai family's century-old skills into this big tree.
This also confirms that the hysteria of the seven orifices sticking out of the villagers is caused by Hongying!
This is to turn all the people in a village into plants and turn them into puppets that can be driven by her, puppets that can move and leave here to spread hysteria elsewhere.
The thought of it really makes me feel frightened. There is no doubt that if Hongying really succeeds, the first to be unlucky will be the surrounding villages. Our small village will not escape the same fate.
"She has gone crazy and must be eliminated! Lang Hongyi has peach nails and peach hammers in his bag. You need to use them for self-defense first!"
I can think and reason that Lang Hongyi's reaction will definitely not be slower than what I thought. This is my trust in him.
Lang Hongyi did not disappoint me. Not only did she take out her weapon, she also threw a bundle of yellow form papers to me, and she took out a windproof lighter and was ready to set fire to it!
