Chapter Twenty-Four: A Night of Horror
Sure enough, a cool breeze slowly poured in through the cracks between the doors and windows. Then the wind became stronger, and the shadows of the trees cast on the windows outside were shaking strangely. It didn't take long for the spell written by Tang Ying on the pillar to glow a faint red.
Wu Mei also saw this strange sight, and asked Tang Ying in a low voice, "Is your charm blocking 'them' out?" ”
Tang Ying said, "No. Today's drawing is only a charm that reminds us, and it can't stop the evil. You'll still see those things later. But don't be afraid, I'm here, as long as you don't leave me. ”
Wu Mei looked less nervous when she heard this. In fact, this is the first time that Tang Ying has exorcised ghosts alone. In Li Chunfeng's two years of teaching her, the two have always been together. To this day, her yin and yang eyes are still not proficient, and the handprints and charms of demon slaying are much slower than Li Chunfeng.
But Tang Ying was not afraid, because she was protected by Bai Ze's white fire. It's a big deal, like Li Chunfeng taught her, just release the heat of the white fire, and her chest may hurt for a few minutes, but no monster can resist it yet.
Of course, this is the next step. Her purpose today is to determine what the demon who intimidates Wu Mei every day is, and who is it controlled by. If it doesn't compromise safety, it's best to let it go quietly.
The wind kept beating against the window, and Tang Ying saw the shadow of someone faintly appearing outside. The shadow hair was scattered behind him, drifting from left to right, and then from right to left, which was very infiltrating. Judging from the strength of Wu Mei's grip on her, this is what she sees every night.
Tang Ying has seen a lot of mandrill female ghosts, just like he is tired of watching horror movies, he is used to being afraid of it. The only strange feeling is familiarity. Looks like I've seen this thing somewhere.
The cool air continued to hit them. Crawl up their bed tents like invisible tentacles, letting the curtains flutter strangely; He climbed up to the candlestick at the foot of the bed and stirred the flames like a playful one.
With a "poof", a candle light was extinguished, and the blue-white smoke went straight to Xiangshang and dissipated into the dark room. Wu Mei made a voice of patience and fear in her throat, and she was a huge person, curled up beside the weak Tang Ying like a cat.
Like his father, Xiao Meng is a spiritual bird of prey, and when he feels the yin qi, his fighting spirit rises. Although Tang Ying was very curious about what kind of combat power it could have, it was not appropriate to startle the snake today, she waved her hand at Xiao Meng, and it tilted its head very heartily to rest.
Seeing Xiao Meng's reaction, Tang Ying was even more confident, and concluded that today's monsters must not be powerful. She rolled her eyes and recited a simple trick to get the flame back on. Seeing this, Wu Mei secretly pinched her to express her appreciation.
The monsters surrounding the room seemed to sense that today was different from the past, and the cool air slowly receded from the bed tent like a low tide. Tang Ying had heard Li Chunfeng say that there were masters who could see other scenes through the eyes of birds, beasts, fish and insects, but that was quite an energy-consuming thing, and she believed that at least today, the enemy would not be prepared for this.
Then this short retreat is just a test of the feeling of control, and there will definitely be a counterattack after that. She quietly reminded Wu Mei, "Be careful. ”
Wu Mei nodded nervously, and her body stiffened a little again.
The wind outside stopped, and the strange shadows disappeared. However, the cold did not dissipate, and Tang Ying's nerves tensed, waiting for another round of "attacks" to break out.
"Ahh......h Hurriedly turned around, and saw that Wu Zetian's shoulders were tightly clamped by a pair of blue-gray hands, which were covered with black corpse spots, and the black nails were long and pointed. Wu Mei didn't dare to move, her face was bloodless with fright, and her lips trembled helplessly.
The solemnity of Tang Ying's expression made her feel even more uncertain, but she didn't know that Tang Ying was not because of fear, but because it was a little difficult to suppress the white fire in her chest.
The terrifying ghost hand originally played with Wu Mei and stuck to her delicate neck one by one. But as Tang Ying continued to exude scorching heat, "she" couldn't bear it anymore, and her true face was revealed from behind Wu Mei's head!
What kind of face is this? Her cheekbones protruded, her eye sockets were deep, her blue skin was tightly clinging to her face, her long black dry hair cut her face even more terrifyingly, and her large mouth gradually cracked to reveal sharp black teeth and a thick, long tongue......
Bang, a word lit up Tang Ying's memory.
Nocturnal Wandering Girl!
It's really a narrow road. Tang Ying still remembered the Zhongyuan Ghost Market two years ago, when he almost killed his nocturnal wandering girl. For the rest of her life after that catastrophe, she studied the first demon removal technique on "Bai Zetu", which was aimed at nocturnal wandering girls.
At this time, she knew at least three spells that could knock the ugly monster in front of her into ashes, but she held back. If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!
So she retreated, quickly changing her mudra and chanting incantations, adding a less comfortable mark to the nocturnal wanderer. I saw a small cloud of white light quickly shoot into the monster's throat. The monster was stunned for a moment, and then a dazzling white light shot out from all parts of her body as if it were shattered, and she let out a terrifying scream while letting go of Wu Mei.
Tang Ying took Wu Mei in his arms in time and stretched out his little hand to block her eyes. Who knew that she was bold enough to struggle to see the true face of the monster. At this time, the skin and flesh of the nocturnal wanderer were rapidly peeling off, falling onto the delicate silk sheets and turning into a black, fishy putrid liquid. That description was really terrifying, but because it was the suffering party, Wu Mei kept staring at it without squinting.
If you continue to torture it, this monster will die. Tang Ying stopped chanting the incantation, and almost instantly, the monster turned into a puff of black smoke, stumbled and flew towards the door, and stumbled on the door frame several times, but still couldn't shrink and drilled out of the crack in the door.
Tang Ying walked out of bed with a look of disgust, opened the door and let the monster out. The monster's terrifying face instead had a ghost-like look, and it wailed and fluttered away. Tang Ying called Xiao Meng and asked Xiao Meng to chase him out to see the final foothold of the monster.
Returning to the bedside to look at Wu Mei, she was shocked at first, and soon laughed irrepressibly, and the terrifying atmosphere was swept away.
They ripped off the contaminated beds and rolled them up on the ground. Seeing this, Chun Tao, who rushed to hear the sound of the door, hurriedly returned to the wing room and moved a new futon to spread it.
Chun Tao didn't dare to ask why the futon was dirty, so she only asked what to do. Wu Mei said lightly: "You moved a big brazier and burned it in the yard." With that, he pulled Tang Ying out of the house.
The air outside is fresh and full of the scent of flowers and plants that is unique to summer. Wu Mei seemed to have suddenly unloaded the burden on her body, and the whole person looked radiant. She looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and suddenly said to Tang Ying, "Ah Ying." Shall we marry sisters with different surnames? ”
"Huh?" Tang Ying didn't react for a while. The famous empress wants to marry herself?
Wu Mei nodded firmly, knelt on the ground holding her stomach, Tang Ying didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly knelt down. I only heard her say: "The emperor is above, today Wu Mei was rescued by Tang Ying and escaped, and I am willing to marry her as sisters with different surnames." In the future, we will support all the way and share the blessings. ”
She didn't say that there was any difficulty, but it was clear that she took Tang Ying as a benefactor.
Tang Ying found out that Wu Mei turned out to be a lover, and she had been careful to hide her emotions before, because of a life and death, she let down her guard and was sincere.
Suddenly, Tang Ying remembered Li Chunfeng who was holding her up and standing under the waterfall, her heart was hot, and she blurted out, "There are difficulties!" ”
Wu Mei looked at her sideways, her eyes full of joy.
Tang Ying helped Wu Mei stand up and said solemnly: "You will definitely be safe!" I promise! ”
