Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 10 Pretending to be Stupid
The stern man and the sharp-tongued girl rushed out of the lobby in the front yard. The sound of the two doors hitting each other echoed over the silent mansion.
What makes Ji Yuan a little puzzled is that there is clearly nothing behind the two people, and there is no existence chasing them, but why are there still deep fears on their faces?
Just when he was wondering, the stern man threw a talisman behind him. As the talisman inside was activated, it immediately turned into a flame like a candle in mid-air.
In an instant, within a two-foot radius illuminated by the fire, ghosts with teeth and claws and ferocious expressions appeared. They should be the slaves and nuns in the mansion.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
As his eyes moved, Ji Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and his scalp felt numb at the same time.
I saw babies and young children hanging on the bodies of the stern men and girls. The smallest ones were just born, and the largest ones were only as high as an ordinary person's calf.
A total of more than a dozen babies and young children were hung on the limbs of two people, biting their bodies with their small mouths, wantonly absorbing the essence that was very delicious and tonic for ghosts.
"Can you take action?"
Song He asked aloud, looking at the scene in front of him calmly.
"Take action!"
Ji Yuan just pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.
In his heart, he naturally didn't want to help. After all, the other party had wanted to capture him as a pathfinding pawn earlier, but after weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to take action.
Not only because they are now trapped in the mansion and it is difficult for one or two people to find a way out, but also because the other party obviously has other purposes here, not just to kill demons.
After reciting the honorary title, Ji Yuan immediately stepped forward, covering a distance of more than two feet in a few steps. He even took out several talismans from his sleeve robe with his left hand, and then swung them forward violently.
A piece of 'Yang Qi lighting talisman' flew out and suddenly stopped floating in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, strong Yang Qi spurted out from the talisman's gall bladder, looking like bright oil lamps from a distance.
In the gloomy front yard of the mansion, a burst of yang energy burst out. Under the light of the 'oil lamp', many ghosts made ear-piercing wails and retreated crazily.
The dozens of little ghosts hanging on the stern man and girl were not so lucky. They didn't even have time to get off the two bodies, and spontaneously ignited under the shroud of yang energy, turning into flying objects in a few blinks.
Ash.
"It's you!"
The stern man ran over with his junior sister, and when he saw that it was the little Taoist priest he met earlier, the expression on his face couldn't help but freeze.
But the girl who was following her senior brother frowned at this moment, unabashedly showing a sense of disgust, and there was a hint of anger in the depths of her eyes.
As if he couldn't accept it, he was saved by a shabby little Taoist priest.
Ji Yuanquan didn't notice the girl's expression. He nodded slightly towards the stern man with a calm expression, and then looked towards the front lobby.
Several of the 'Yang Qi Lighting Talismans' had burned out, and in the remaining afterglow, a dozen ghosts came forward again with resentful faces, clearly eager to divide them and eat them.
"Hey, who is that? Hurry up and throw in a few more talismans from just now!"
When the girl saw this, she quickly shouted.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan resisted the urge to shake her face, frowning and staring at the many ghosts approaching slowly. He wanted to throw away a few more 'Yang Qi Lighting Talisman', but the grade of this kind of talisman was a bit high.
Only those Qi practitioners who have mastered magic can start drawing.
Although he was able to forcefully draw a few drawings by relying on his knowledge of talismans, the power was not strong and the cost was frightening.
Those few 'Yang Qi Lighting Talismans' just now have used up most of his inventory, and now there are only one or two left, but they must be kept just in case.
"Fellow Taoist, this is not the time to care about gains and losses!"
The stern man said in an urgent tone: "If I have offended you many times before, I will apologize to you. As long as I can survive the current crisis, I will surely give you a generous apology gift!"
He deliberately said the word "rich seeds", hoping that the little Taoist priest next to him could take action to drive away these ghosts that were causing them so much suffering.
However, Ji Yuan seemed not to have heard this person's words. After thinking for a while, he took out two cyan talismans from his arms. As the essence activated the talismans, a majestic aura instantly filled the area of several feet.
"Walk!"
Throwing out the two talismans exuding awe-inspiring aura, Ji Yuan gave a low shout and ran towards the path he came from.
Song He who was on the side naturally followed without hesitation. The stern man and the girl looked at each other, and in the end they could only grit their teeth and follow.
Seeing this, more than a dozen ghosts immediately swarmed forward, but the two cyan talismans suspended in mid-air exuded a strong aura of awe, as if a wall had been formed between the two sides, making many ghosts dare not take a step forward.
On the other side, Ji Yuan's face darkened slightly as he returned to the path. He thought he would be able to escape this time, but in the end, not only was his way blocked, but he even spent a few talismans in vain.
The only good news is the two people who were saved behind the scenes. The domineering and poisonous girl may not know much, but her senior brother must know some inside information.
"Hey, can't you walk faster?"
Just as he was thinking about it, an impatient voice came from behind: "Those ghosts behind will catch up at any time!"
Ji Yuan stopped and looked at the frightened girl with a frown. He was not worried about the ghosts catching up. Two of the 'Awesome Evil Talismans' could stop the ghosts from taking half a stick of incense.
This little time was not much, but it was not much. It was just enough for him to figure out some things.
"Tell me about it."
He stood in the veranda and looked at the man with cold eyes: "Tell me everything you know."
Song He silently took two steps forward and stood beside the little Taoist priest. His gaze seemed to fall inadvertently, but wherever he stared at the stern man's body, he was obviously ready to take action at any time.
Seeing this scene, the girl immediately became furious and was about to yell at her, but was stopped by the senior brother in front of her.
She threw away the arm in front of her and glared at the stern man with an angry face. But as soon as she turned her head, she swallowed back the question that had reached her lips under the cold gaze of the other man.
"My junior sister has been spoiled by the sect. This is also her first time to go out for a walk. I hope you two can forgive me."
The stern man clasped his fists, then pondered for a moment before speaking: "I don't know much about this place. I only know that there is an opportunity hidden in the mansion, but I didn't expect that there would be so many ghosts guarding it."
Ji Yuan sneered, not believing this person's words at all. Whether it was the 'Yang Qi illuminating road talisman' when they first met, or the previous talisman that could make ghosts appear, they were not things that ordinary monks would always keep on hand.
Judging from this point alone, it is obvious that these people came well prepared. They had long known that there were ghosts entrenched here, and they were definitely not as ignorant as they said.
The cold man's behavior at this time was obviously to pretend to be stupid, and he was even convinced that Ji Yuan would never fall out directly at such a critical moment. This chapter has been completed!
