Chapter Twenty-Nine: Soul Wounds
"What cat?" Gu Huai felt that he hadn't heard clearly, it wasn't a black cat or a white cat or something, could it be a ghost cat.
The young man glanced at him and said:
"You'll find out later. ”
Gu Huai looked at the people around him again, and they all began to be busy closing the wooden planks on the window, as if they were trying to block all the light outside.
After the cracks in the doors and windows were sealed, the five fingers in the warehouse could not be seen.
Suddenly, a spell was heard, and at the same time, candles lit up on the floor and on the four corners of the roof.
The incantation continued, long and subdued, and the three of them walked out in the dark.
One is the wind, and in the dim light, his handsome color has not changed at all. The other is Yan Long, who Gu Huai had seen before when he was supervising the work, and at this time, it seemed that the dark red fire light was lingering all over his body, but he was a little more murderous.
There is also a Gu Huai who has never seen it. This person has a slender face, is not confused about the age, wears a yellow crown, wears a delo, holds a wooden sword, and is a Taoist priest.
"Brother Yufeng, this is ......" Gu Huai stepped forward and asked with some light.
"We've been investigating that spy these days," said Yu Feng, referring to the person who had previously supplied the matter of the black boy to the city mansion, "although it didn't work, I felt that there was some movement around the store." ”
"What kind of change?" Gu Huai asked. He didn't understand how to find a spy and use a Taoist priest.
"Strange movement in the ghost world!"
Hearing what Yu Feng said, Gu Huai shook his head and asked:
"So the spy could be a ghost?"
Yufeng nodded, and shook his head again:
"I don't know, I have to destroy tonight's ghost thing first!" As he spoke, one hand was pressed against the sword at his waist.
"Master, let's start then?" Sha Er came up and asked the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest did not stop the incantation in his mouth, but just turned a few words, and then raised the wooden sword horizontally above his head. At this moment, I saw that the candlelight around me was brighter, and it was still swinging one by one, which seemed to be a little noisy.
When the candlelight began to swing, the Taoist priest pulled out a wad of yellow rune paper from his waist with his other hand and handed it to a fellow in the shop.
This guy is none other than Director Nasha's follower, She Qiang.
There are a lot of rune papers, and She Qiang distributes them one by one, except for Yufeng and Yanlong, everyone has a thick stack. It doesn't look like it's good stubble.
Gu Huai was the last person to receive the rune paper. When he got his hands on it, he found that it was much less than half of the others.
"You!" he glared at She Qiang, thinking to himself if this was not fucking intentional?
It's really a good dog of Director Sha, helping the owner to yin himself.
Gu Huai was about to say a few words at this time, but Sha Er glanced at Gu Huai with contempt, but he opened his mouth:
"Judging from the past of Shakun City, most of the merchants are conspirators, and they all use the ghost-eyed civet cat as a medium to probe the enemy's truth and reality.
If this is the case, tonight's battle will be dangerous, please fight hard and help each other!"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Huai originally resented Sha Er, but he was afraid of the current situation.
It's just a business to open a store, how can it be like a war?
And, still have to fight ghosts?
He looked at the Imperial Wind and Yanlong, who were waiting for the battle, and then at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, and unconsciously held the little rune paper in his hand tighter.
"Don't be afraid," Yu Feng said to Gu Huai, "the civet cats will attack people's front doors, and when they jump up and approach, just throw the rune paper up." ”
Yufeng originally had good intentions and wanted Gu Huai to relax, but he didn't want to make Gu Huai even more at a loss.
He had never seen what the ghost-eyed civet cat looked like, and he had to be quick to deal with this thing, and he didn't have any effort, how could he survive safely?
At this time, he looked at the people present again, wanting to see if Tai Lai was there, after all, this carriage groom always gave people some reliable feeling, but unfortunately he was disappointed.
"Everyone is here, why didn't this honest man show up when he needed him?" Gu Huai said in his heart.
"Where's Tailai?" he asked.
"I was injured in fighting with ghosts before, and my soul was injured. Yu Feng replied.
Soul Hurt: I've heard of hurting people, hurting the body and hurting the heart, can there still be hurt souls?
Gu Huai was just about to ask what a soul wound was, but the Taoist priest began to make a big move.
I saw that he stretched out his hand and pointed the wooden sword he had just raised horizontally upward, and the other party had just made a series of spells to the end, and roared in his mouth: "Demon and Devil Thing-Present!"
The roar sounded, and all the candles around shook even more, like children who were restless in astonishment.
At this moment, Gu Huai's state of mind was a little annoyed, what kind of broken thing, can you use so many people to deal with it together? Ordinary people, the Five Elements Guards, and Dao Warlocks are all in battle!
When he was nervous, the candle flames suddenly stopped swinging, and the scene was as quiet as death.
After a while, Gu Huai seemed to see a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark place in front of him.
Not human eyes, because they are much larger and much rounder than they are. The eyeballs are emerald green, and the eyeballs resemble an upright shuttle.
It looked like a cat's eyes, but it looked even more disturbing.
Gu Huai couldn't help but feel uneasy, and the hairs on his body stood up, because if those eyes were cat's, they would be too big.
One pair of eyes is not enough, next, two, three, four, five pairs...... More eyes appeared around, slowly approaching the crowd.
Through the candlelight, the owner of the eyes began to slowly appear, one by one...... It's really a cat, a swarthy cat.
In Gu Huai's memory, cats are such cute little animals, and what he sees at the moment is not so much a cat as a beast. Because each one is huge and hideous.
What a hell! Gu Huai scolded in his heart, looking at this, doing a business, being a young man, it is really possible to put his life on the line.
But before he could fully compose, one of the big cats howled and pounced on him, screaming so shrill and so fast that he scattered half of all the charms in his hand in a panic.
Well, Gu Huai can only secretly scold himself for being too stupid now.
Fortunately, the rune paper that was scattered was still useful, and several pieces were pasted on the cat's face and forehead, and some of them inadvertently fell on the other rampage cats.
The cat in the sticker first fell to the ground with its heel, then with a miserable sound, and then turned into a wisp of green smoke with a "porphyry" sound and disappeared into invisibility.
With the experience of this move, Gu Huai learned from the pain, and he was much more proficient in the subsequent battles.
However, the spell, as expected, ran out in a moment.
Gu Huai scolded that She Qiang again in his heart, scolding him was really enough to save face, let himself use the art of escape!
"Hide behind me!" Yu Feng beckoned to Gu Huai as he responded.
Yu Feng and Yan Long, one of them used swordsmanship to slash several enemies in a row, and Yan Long took precautions as an attack, and the whole body ignited with purple and blue flames, making every civet that flew up disappear directly.
However, there are too many enemies, and because of their huge size, they give people a strong sense of oppression.
Gu Huai saw that he couldn't run away, so he had to shrink behind Yu Feng, and the ghost knew what the consequences would be after he was scratched.
Na Sha Er sneered at him while fighting on the side, and the meaning of schadenfreude was all written on his face.
I don't know if it was because he was laughing at Gu Huai, or because he did it intentionally, he threw a charm and pasted it on the top of a civet cat's head, but when the cat landed, the charm fell with it.
The civet cat that had slipped through the net landed and rolled over, and then crawled up again, as if only then did he realize that he had not disappeared.
It shook the black hair on its body, looked at Sha Er, and then looked at the others, either it was a little cautious when it was pasted by the charm, or it couldn't find an opportunity to attack others, so it didn't take action first.
There are so many enemies on Yufeng's side, one after another, one after another, causing him to be extremely busy.
Just as he was extremely busy, the surviving civet cat from earlier saw an opportunity and pounced straight towards Gu Huai......
Gu Huai noticed this change, and when he turned his head to look, he suddenly saw a big cat jumping up from the ground and jumping towards him, and at the same time stretched out a pair of cold claws, and the speed was so fast that he didn't have time to react......
Seeing the afterglow of the wind, it flashed quickly, and a sword slashed at the big cat, and after seeing it dissipate, he looked back at Gu Huai:
"Are you alright!?"
Between the questions, Gu Huai was already covering his face with his hands on the ground, rolling and moaning constantly......
When the other civets saw someone fall to the ground, they attacked them together, and they were simply a resourceful group!
However, this strategy of the civets also allowed everyone to concentrate on the offensive to defend Gu Huai, and after a while, under the guidance of the Five Elements Guards and Taoist priests, the civets were finally repelled.
Afterwards, Yufeng hurriedly ran to Gu Huai's side to check the injury:
"I'm sorry, blame me for being too slow and making my little brother suffer!"
Gu Huai heard that Yufeng came to comfort him, and wanted to take away his hands and look at the handsome face, but the scratched place was too painful, so he had to cover his face and thank him:
"It's okay hero! If it weren't for you, I guess I would be lying here by now. ”
He was also telling the truth, because of the scene just now, it would be good for Yu Feng to react in time. And Gu Huai was just lightly scratched by the cat's claw, and it hurt like this, if he was caught, the result would be unimaginable.
Yu Feng held down Gu Huaidao, who was still rolling left and right, with one hand:
"Don't move! You're wounded by your soul, and the more you move, the more painful it becomes, so you have to take medicine first!"
When Gu Huai heard this, he sneered self-deprecatingly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he was still curious about what a soul injury was, and he immediately experienced it fucking himself.
There were no scars on his own face, but the place where he was caught was a heart-piercing pain. No, it should be from the headache to the foot, with the heart in between!
"Go get the rain wood healing soul dew!" said Yu Feng to a young man.
But Sha Er interjected:
"Wait a minute, this Rain Wood Healing Soul Dew is also very expensive to use. Little Brother Gu Huai is still young, why don't you let him recover on his own?"
What? Did you hear it wrong? Gu Huai thought at this time that if he hadn't been in front of him, he still had the contract of the You clan, and now he wanted to jump up and kick this guy.
Although he didn't know how long he would be able to heal himself, according to the current situation, it must be more than lucky.
Yu Feng glared at Sha Er, and said expressionlessly:
"Sha Er, you also know that this kind of soul injury takes a long time to heal itself, if it delays the working hours like this and damages the benefits of Shopkeeper You, it must also be counted on your head. ”
It's interesting, as soon as it comes to the loss of Shopkeeper You's benefits, Sha Er's face changed, and he actually showed some fear, so he said to the young man:
"Hmph, then go get it!"
Gu Huai listened to it in his ears, and generally understood that this Sha Er must have signed a divine contract with You Qiu.
Those who sign the divine contract, if it harms the interests of the owner, they will either die or be disabled!
But he didn't understand even more, why there was a divine contract, and You Qiu didn't seem to want to cure this surnamed Sha very much, but always had some meaning to let him play?
