Just when I was at a loss, suddenly a basin of cold water was poured on my head. The burning sensation on my body immediately disappeared, as if the burning flame was directly doused.
I also became alert and suddenly opened my eyes.
Only then did I realize that the scene in front of me had changed a lot.
It felt like suddenly waking up from a dream,
Although I was still standing in the warehouse, the old man just now disappeared, and there was a paper man in front of me.
Moreover, Yang Bailiu and Yang Jingwen were also nearby. Yang Bailiu was holding a large basin in his hand. My body was even more wet, like a drowned rat.
Apparently he just poured a basin of cold water on me to wake me up.
"What's going on?"
I looked at myself. Why did it feel like I had just had a dream, or that my soul had been separated from the body for a while?
"You were soul-robbed just now. There is something wrong with this paper man. Be careful."
Yang Bailiu said and put the water basin in his hand directly on the paper man's head.
"You mean...we have been in this warehouse the whole time and have never gone out?"
I looked at Yang Bailiu and felt a little weird.
Because if this is the case, then what I experienced just now was experienced in the soul state.
No wonder I couldn't catch Yang Bailiu just now, they couldn't see me, and even the golden silkworm Gu disappeared.
It turns out that is my soul.
So it’s not Yang Bailiu and Yang Jingwen who became ghosts, the real ghost is myself.
"No matter what you experienced just now, it is not true. When a person's soul is separated from the body, everything he sees is not a normal state. This is a matter of different perspectives displayed by different life forms."
Seeing the expression on my face, Yang Bailiu basically made a guess and quickly explained it to me.
"I see."
I nodded, and then looked at the pig butcher not far away. He was still unconscious on the table, and his hand was nailed to the chopping board and he never took it off.
Moreover, the pig butcher's mouth, nose, and ears had begun to ooze blood at this time. I thought that 80% of his soul had been scattered, and this man would definitely not survive.
Obviously, the person who made the plan just now borrowed the hostility of the butcher to drive his soul to deal with me. Unfortunately, when I hit the Five Thunder Talisman, this guy's soul disappeared immediately.
"I saw the person who made the layout just now."
I looked back at the outside of the warehouse and said with a slightly solemn expression.
"Who is it?"
When Yang Bailiu heard this, he quickly frowned and asked.
"He's already here."
I said and gestured to the outside of the warehouse with my chin.
By this time, the thick fog outside had dissipated, and the old man in gray robe that I saw just now had also arrived at the door of the warehouse.
At this time, Yang Bailiu and I suddenly became alert.
"You kid can really jump."
The old man in gray robe came forward, looked at me and sneered: "I am a paper man who steals souls, and even the evil ghost's plan to seek life can't deal with you. No wonder some people say that you are the master of causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, but today you
You will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp."
"Some people say that I am the one who caused the chaos in Heaven? It seems that the people who want my life have a pretty high opinion of me."
I squinted my eyes and looked at the old man thoughtfully.
In fact, it is through these few words that we can infer the identity of the person who wants my life behind the scenes?
Those who can say this sentence feel a bit like a member of the Lai family, and they are also the elders of the Lai family.
Could it be Lai Changbai? After all, he was forced by the situation to hand over the position of the head of the Lai family. If this guy is unwilling to do so, there is a small chance that he will stumble behind my back and kill me.
No.
But if this happens, the Lai family will inevitably fall.
This is an extreme act that will destroy both the fish and the net, and a person with a brain like Lai Changbai will definitely not be able to do it.
"You don't have to lie to me. I said, I definitely can't tell you this, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be implicated by then."
The old man spread his hands as he spoke, and then said seriously: "You'd better get on the road now and let me give you a good ride. When you get to the underworld, I can burn more paper money for you, so you can be reincarnated in the next life."
I’m counting on it.”
"You... don't think you are a messenger from the underworld, do you?"
I looked at the old man incomprehensibly, feeling as if he had already arranged my next life.
Do you really think you've got me or what?
"I am not a messenger from the underworld, but to many people, I am more like the god of death from hell."
The old man chuckled softly as he spoke, then formed a charm and walked slowly towards me.
At first I thought he was using the talisman to deal with me, so I kept vigilant and stared at the hand he was holding the talisman in. However, when I walked up to him, the old man slapped the talisman directly on his forehead.
Then he kneaded the formula with both hands, recited the incantation, and stamped the ground several times with his feet.
"Be careful, he is inviting evil things to take over his body. Once he succeeds, he will be extremely powerful."
Yang Bailiu quickly reminded me.
At this time, I also realized that the situation was not good, and I rushed forward to remove the talisman from the old man's forehead.
This talisman is drawn on white paper. It is a typical Yin-tong talisman. As long as you take off the talisman, you can basically break his spell.
Unfortunately, before I could touch the talisman on the old man's forehead, he grabbed his wrist so fast that I didn't have time to avoid it even when I sensed it with my mind.
Then the old man exerted a sudden force and threw me away.
This was so powerful that he just casually swung it with one hand and threw it to me several meters away. I knocked over the rows of shelves with pork hanging on it.
One of the iron hooks even caught my left back shoulder, causing a deep wound on the spot. The pain made me gasp.
The injury this time was obviously real, not the spiritual state like before, so there was no pain.
But if I had a mirror at this time, I would see that there is actually a bruise on my eyebrow bone.
That's what was left behind when the butcher's knife in the hands of the butcher just hit the eyebrow bone. If I was killed directly in the soul state, then I would also die.
Before I could get up from the pile of pork, the old man had already approached me again, stretched out his hand and grabbed me.
How dare I let him catch me at this time? I quickly picked up an iron hook on the side and hit the old man's neck with my backhand.
Unfortunately, the old man grabbed the hook again, and his other hand also strangled my neck.
I quickly turned my mind and activated the golden silkworm Gu, and a golden light flew out of my mouth in an instant and rushed towards the old man's face.
