It turns out someone has already been here once before...
Yi Yan took the human skin paper back into his arms, looked at Zhang Wanyu and said, "The human skin paper said that a ghost hunter had performed a mission before, two years ago. There were many water ghosts in Dayang Lake, so the whole army was wiped out at that time. You
Do you still have any impression?"
"Has anyone been here?"
Zhang Wanyu thought for a moment, and suddenly there was a glimmer of hope on her face. She said excitedly, "I'm not very clear about this matter, but there are many water ghosts here. Since some people were able to go back during the last mission, it means that the ghosts here must be very good."
Tricky"
"We can find a safe place and not go out. As long as seven days have passed, we can teleport back."
Yi Yan laughed, tapped his finger on the ground, and then said seriously, "You are right. Since there are many water ghosts here, and only one person in the ghost hunter team survived last time, it already shows how difficult those water ghosts are.
"
"It's very possible that the two water ghosts that strangled my neck at that time were just the most common type." Yu Yan pointed at his neck and continued.
"But haven't you ever thought about it? Since water ghosts have no intelligence, why do they look for humans and kill them in such an orderly manner?"
As soon as these words came out, the three people in the room fell into deep thought.
At the same time, a nameless fear spread around the four people.
"That is to say, among these water ghosts there are many powerful ghosts who can control other water ghosts, or is it...weird?"
Wang Hu said a word that few people wanted to encounter...weird!
Because he saw with his own eyes a female corpse with dark yellow eyes in the center of the lake, staring at the people on the shore.
Bai Ling killed the female corpse and those evil spirits stopped attacking them.
There will definitely be more ghosts like that female corpse in the lake.
"this..."
Zhang Wanyu felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her. The idea of an escape route that she had previously thought of suddenly turned into a lie.
"I'm a little sleepy. It's better for you to be on duty. I'll take a nap first."
Wang Hu lit the firewood again and replaced it with a pot of hot water.
Waiting for the pot of water to boil, the embers poured a large pot of hot water directly into the belly.
The sleepiness all over my body eased a little, and I immediately lay down by the fire, preparing to fall asleep.
"Aunt Bai and I will be on duty. You guys should take a nap first."
Wang Hu added another pot of hot water, checked whether the door was locked securely, and sat by the fire to work the night shift with Aunt Bai.
"Brother Jin"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Yu Yan opened his eyes and looked at Wang Hu who was worried.
Wang Hu held a wooden stick in his hand, stirred it in the fire, and said
"If there is really danger, please stop saving me. Many people in our class have died, and I don't want to see you die too."
In the silence, only the light of the fire swayed in the air, and the firewood made a crackling sound.
Yi Yan smiled and said, "Let's talk about this kind of thing later, I have my own plans."
After that, the two of them were speechless.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Yan, who was in a coma, felt a strange movement in his arms, as if something was taking his hand away and digging into his arms.
He opened his eyes vaguely and saw Zhang Wanyu looking nervously at Aunt Bai and Wang Hu. Then he opened Yi Yan's arms and curled up in his arms like a small animal, holding the shabby piece of clothing.
coat and fell asleep.
A few minutes later, a burst of even breathing was heard.
.......
.......
I don't know how long it took, but when the ember woke up again, it was already noon.
The door was wide open, and Wang Hu was practicing the Black Tiger Palm and Lingyun Steps he borrowed from Xuanwu Pavilion in the courtyard.
These two exercises are also practiced by many people within Yunmen. They are simple and easy to learn, and most people can get started with them after just a few years of practice.
Aunt Bai on the side came in with a cane and a pile of firewood in one hand.
Her steps were light and she tried not to make a sound even on the wooden floor, for fear of disturbing the people in the room.
Seeing Yu Yan wake up, a gentle smile appeared on her face and she said, "Did I wake you up?"
"No..., Aunt Bai, did you know someone died again last night?"
Yu Yan was concerned about the water ghost and said.
"I heard Master Wang Kun say that after Bai Ling took action last night, those ghosts stopped moving, so we are still safe for the time being."
"No action?"
Hearing Aunt Zhang's words, Yu Yan was temporarily relieved. This not only meant that he was temporarily safe, but also showed that Bai Ling would not take action randomly.
He will have more time to find ways to improve his strength.
I have to get a fierce ghost to increase my strength.
Yu Yan made a calculation in his mind. In order to save them last time, he used two more drops of resentment water, and now there are only five drops of resentment water left in his body.
If I encounter a strong enemy again, I'm afraid these five drops of resentment will not be enough.
Looking back now, when I came into contact with the two fierce ghosts behind me, there was a lot of resentment in their bodies.
If..., find a way to get one, and absorb it all, you should get a lot.
"Yes!"
Ember suddenly realized.
He took out the stack of talisman papers Zhang Wanyu gave him from his arms and posted them in the room.
Several talismans were pasted on the windows, beams, and surrounding walls and floors, except for the door.
"What are you doing? Placing the spell in the room can only restrict the entry and exit of evil ghosts, but cannot cause substantial harm to evil ghosts."
Zhang Wanyu also came back from outside, put the firewood in his hand on the ground, looked at the behavior of the embers, and said with some distress.
These talisman papers were something she drew for a long time to complete, and now they are just to ward off evil spirits...
Well...if these talismans can resist ghosts and get out alive, I can draw more of them myself.
"It's better to close the door later at night. Then we'll stay together at night and be on duty in pairs. If there is any movement, don't panic and wake up the sleeping people immediately."
Yi Yan called Wang Hu in and said solemnly.
After a day of recovery, coupled with the support of Wang Hu's infuriating energy, Yu Yan's body recovered faster, and the marks left by yesterday's ghost were almost gone.
He wanted to take a gamble.
If there are still those smart ghosts in the lake, then the two water ghosts will definitely not let him go and come back again.
Because a special resentment was left on his neck.
This breath ember was deliberately not absorbed.
He was just betting that those two evil ghosts would come again.
When the time comes, we will meet again and see who is the grandfather and who is the grandson.
He and Wang Hu conspired to discuss the matter, and after working the night shift for half the night, he was told to rest first and wake him up immediately when the evil ghost came.
.......
As night approaches, the surrounding scenery becomes a bit depressing and solemn.
From time to time, bursts of children's laughter could be heard outside the door, which made Zhang Wanyu a little scared.
She deliberately checked the door and locked it firmly.
The firewood was burning with a crackling sound.
Under the firelight, Aunt Bai had not slept all night and could already hear her snoring slightly.
Yi Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, absorbing the resentment from all directions. He took all the time to practice since the afternoon.
"ember?"
Zhang Wanyu called out to the ember in a low voice. Seeing that he ignored her, she grabbed the statue of Kong Shu in her hand and leaned towards it.
It wasn't until my body was pressed tightly against him that I felt a little at ease.
However, the corners of the room where the firelight could not reach and the ceiling above the beams still gave her an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if something was watching them in the darkness.
There are so many talismans posted here, so no ghosts should be able to get in here.
Zhang Wanyu kept giving hints to herself.
"Boom, boom"
"Boom, boom"
Not long after, Zhang Wanyu was relaxing his vigilance when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
In an instant, her sleepy mind was refreshed.
"call!"
A gust of wind howled by, bringing with it a strange and sharp sound.
The sound of the wind was high-pitched and long, like a woman crying in the dark night.
"Who's out there?"
"Boom, boom"
Zhang Wanyu felt a very heavy sense of oppression, and she was answered by a knock on the door.
She heard Captain Lieyang say that most humans knock on the door three times.
Only those evil ghosts and evil spirits would knock twice.
This means that the person knocking on the door is not a human being.
"embers, embers"
Zhang Wanyu tugged at the sleeves of Yi Yan. At this moment, her heart was in her throat, and she almost fell into Yi Yan's arms.
But the ember didn't move, just like a wooden sculpture. No matter how she shook it, there was no reaction.
Could it be that he has entered a fantasy world?
I've already put the filth removal charm on it.
"Gone?"
After that knock on the door, something outside the door stopped knocking.
It seemed that he realized that the door was locked, so he did not continue.
Zhang Wanyu stroked her violently beating chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the firewood that was about to go out. She stood up carefully and went to the door to get the firewood.
Just as she picked up a pile of firewood and was about to go over, she suddenly saw two pale ghosts standing outside the paper window.
