Chapter 39: The Ghost Lantern
"Old Fat, he doesn't know what kind of drug/drug, he sleeps like a dead pig, and he can't wake up no matter how he screams." I told Yan Xiaoying about the condition of the old fat.
Yan Xiaoying frowned lightly, and while leaning over to check the appearance of the old fat, she asked me, "What's going on?" What have you used before? Or smell something? ”
"In the room of the Taoist temple before, I used a lamp oil because the candles were gone. The lamp oil is black, sticky/thick like paste, and when lit, it emits a peculiar smell, which smells stinky at first, but becomes fragrant after smelling too much. "I recalled telling Yan Xiaoying about it.
"Black viscous/thick lamp oil?"
Yan Xiaoying listened to my words, and her face suddenly changed drastically and said, "That thing is corpse oil, and it is not ordinary corpse oil. It is something that is mixed with corpse oil and a plant called a ghost lantern. Using this kind of thing can not only stun a person's physical body, but also pull his spirit into a strange space of deep darkness and trap him, unable to come out. ”
Yan Xiaoying told me: "This kind of corpse oil made from ghost lanterns is not used against living people, even if the yin spirit smells this fragrance, it will immediately fall asleep. ”
The reason why she knew so much was because she also had this kind of corpse oil in her coffin shop, and Old Lady Yan called it "ghost oil".
"The ghost lantern is a strange plant with dark foliage, but its flowers are red. The palm-sized, lantern-shaped flowers glow green at night. Because it is pitch black and has no branches and leaves, it looks like a floating ghost lantern, so it is called a ghost lantern. ”
Yan Xiaoying said: "This strange plant can only grow in the corpse field, and it is rare to see it in ordinary times, it is born by absorbing yin qi and corpse qi, and does not need photosynthesis. Therefore, it can grow in dark underground spaces. In fact, it can be used as medicine itself, and the floral fragrance emitted has the effect of refreshing the mind, but it can't smell too much. If you smell too much, all kinds of hallucinations will appear in your mind, which are both elixirs and poisons. ”
"The ghost oil developed by mixing corpse oil and ghost lanterns can make people fall into a deep coma, and external forces can't wake them up at all, unless they take the fruit of the ghost lanterns."
Yan Xiaoying said that Lao Fei's current spirit is immersed in the world created for him by the ghost lantern incense, and his consciousness thinks that he is still awake, but he has actually passed out.
To put it plainly, Lao Fei is now immersed in his own spiritual world and can't get out of trouble.
The more I listened, the more surprised I became, I couldn't imagine that there were such weird and terrifying plants in the world, but one thing I didn't understand was that I had smelled ghost oil before, why didn't I fall into a coma?
"Maybe it's because you don't inhale too much, or maybe it's something else, but the effect of this ghost oil varies from person to person."
Yan Xiaoying looked at the old fat lying on the ground and was asleep, sighed and said: "There is no way to wake him up now, he is like this, even if he takes a knife and dismantles him in pieces, tortures his body and kills him, he doesn't feel it." ”
I was worried, "How can I wake this thing up?" ”
"There's no way, I hope that person has an antidote, otherwise I can only think of other ways."
Next, Yan Xiaoying told me one thing, using ghost oil can better assist in refining corpse golems. And the reason why Old Lady Yan has this kind of thing is because she opens a coffin, and when she usually encounters a corpse or a difficult corpse that refuses to be buried in the coffin, it is best to apply this ghost oil to the inside of the coffin.
"He took your whip and dug up my mother's body, and it is estimated that he is now opening the altar to refine the corpse puppet. I have to stop him now, or it will be even harder to deal with. ”
Yan Xiaoying looked at the shabby kitchen knife in my hand, her face changed slightly, and then said, "You can take care of your brother here, if I don't come back, take Lao Fei to the coffin shop to find my grandma, she may have a way." ”
"But ......"
I opened my mouth to say something, but Yan Xiaoying was resolute, and the person had already burrowed into the lychee forest and headed towards the Taoist temple.
At this point, I somewhat understand the grievances between her and the Evergreen Daoist, her mother was refined into a corpse puppet, and her brother was suffocated to death in a wooden box, which is a hatred that is not shared.
It's no wonder that an arrogant woman like her lowered her posture and asked me to give her the Spirit Infant Fruit.
It turned out that she wanted to improve her strength and come here to take revenge on the Evergreen Dao people, and Lao Fei and I also chose this day to come to the Evergreen Temple by mistake.
The Evergreen Daoist is mysterious and unpredictable, not only knows the Taoist arts, but also all kinds of weird and evil arts. Although Yan Xiaoying's strength has increased after eating the Spirit Infant Fruit, if she is right, I am afraid that she will suffer a big loss.
As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy, and after living for so many years, I'm afraid even the eyelashes are empty. Besides, he knew that Yan Xiaoying was coming to him tonight, how could he not be prepared?
Maybe he noticed that Yan Xiaoying and I were hiding in the dark to spy on him just now......
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, although it was Yan Xiaoying's personal grudge, and there was no room for me to interfere, but I couldn't just watch her in danger and ignore it.
What's more, the old road of the bull's nose also took away my mountain whip......
At this thought, I had to say sorry to Lao Fei, and then pushed him back into the coffin in the pit, and then closed the lid, leaving a gap.
The reason why he did this was because he was afraid that after he left, he would lie in this wilderness and be dragged away or bitten by some wild dog and poisonous snake, which would be troublesome.
With the old fat character, if he wakes up and knows that we are torturing his body like this, he will probably go crazy and desperately
After settling the old man, I hurried away with a woodcutter and chased Yan Xiaoying.
When I sneaked back to the Evergreen Taoist Temple, I found that the Evergreen Daoist was setting up an altar in the courtyard as Yan Xiaoying had guessed before.
I sneaked to the fence outside the courtyard, found a more secret place to hide, and peeked into the courtyard.
I saw that the Changqing Daoist was dancing in front of the altar at the moment, and the sword was the sword of the Zhai Dip Mage.
In front of him, candles, yellow paper, ink fountains, flags, copper bells and other objects are placed on the altar in front of him.
In addition, the most conspicuous one, the nine-section mountain whip.
Next to the altar, there was a person, a beautiful woman in a bright red dress, who was Yan Xiaoying's mother, who had been dead for more than 20 years.
She was standing there like a stake at the moment, with the Daomen Soul Suppression Talisman on her forehead.
As the Changqing Daoist danced the sword, the candle flame burning on the altar was flickering and flickering, as if it would be extinguished at any time.
Yan Xiaoying didn't know where she had gone, but she thought it was hiding somewhere in a dark corner nearby, watching the bull's nose like me.
At this time, the Changqing Daoist didn't know what kind of spell he had recited, and the sword of the Zhai Dip Master stabbed forward, and he shouted loudly: "If you don't show up quickly, don't you still want to suffer?" ”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw that the mountain whip that was originally placed on the altar was pulled and floated up by a strange force, and a terrible scream came from inside the mountain whip.
I know that this scream is none other than those ghost children and the female ghost Huixian sealed in the mountain whip.
As the screams rang out, the candles on the altar suddenly turned into strange green flames, and the flickering green light reflected the faces of the Evergreen Daoist extremely hideously.
Sou! Sou! Sou......
Suddenly, black shadows rushed out from within the mountain whip and turned into seven or eight young ghost babies with frightened faces.
After the ghost child rushed out of the mountain whip, he rushed towards the Changqing Dao people, as if to kill him.
"Evil animal, dare to resist!"
Changqing Daoist shouted angrily, holding a sword in his right hand and a talisman in his left hand, holding a sword style, and reciting in his mouth: "Xunfeng vast thunder rises, Feng Yi dances non-stop, Guan Bo shakes the heaven and earth, flies sand and stones through the mountains and forests, resounds, roars and roars, turns over the mountains and rivers into the water, and is as urgent as the law." ”
After chanting, the spirit rune in his left hand was a little on the sword of the mage who dipped in Zhai, and then he slashed at the seven or eight ghost children who rushed in: "Wind Spirit Spell, disease!" ”
In my incredible gaze, a strong wind suddenly blew in the field, as if I had seen several sword qi slashing towards the group of ghost children.
A terrible scream sounded, and the ghost children who had been rushing towards the Changqing Dao people flew out upside down, and their bodies were blurred, almost unable to condense into shape.
A spell that almost wiped them out.
"Don't hurt my child, my mother is fighting with you!"
At this time, the female ghost Huixian appeared from the mountain whip and rushed towards the Changqing Daoist like crazy.
"There's even a female ghost!"
Changqing Daoren's face changed slightly, and the speed of the female ghost Huixian was very fast, he didn't have time to chant the spell at this time, so he swung the sword of the Zhai Dip Mage and stabbed it.
"Poof!"
Zhai dipped the mage's sword into Hui Xian's body, but as if she was unconscious, she still rushed forward, and grabbed the neck of the Evergreen Daoist with both hands.
The Changqing Daoist took a few steps back, and roared angrily: "Stinky woman, look for death!" ”
He pinched the mark with his left hand and quickly pressed it on the forehead of the female ghost Huixian, who suddenly screamed, and the whole body collapsed with a bang, turning into wisps of black mist.
After the Evergreen Daoist eliminated the female ghost, he immediately covered his neck and coughed violently.
At this moment, a strange black whip shadow silently struck down from the roof.
It was Yan Xiaoying who made a move, and the timing was very good, if nothing else, the Evergreen Dao people would definitely not be able to escape the binding of the corpse rope.
But the latter seemed to have a pair of eyes behind him, and suddenly rolled on the ground, which was able to avoid the corpse rope.
After he avoided the rope that tied the corpse, the person had already come to the side of the red-clothed female corpse, and looked at Yan Xiaoying who appeared on the roof with a sneer: "Girl, I found out that you were hiding on it, and I wanted to sneak attack the old way, you are still a little tender." ”
As he spoke, he took the sword of the mage in his right hand and opened the soul suppression talisman attached to the forehead of the red-clothed woman's corpse, and recited the words in his mouth: "Red Spirit, Red Tengteng, Fire Spirit Fire Order, listen to my orders, Heaven and Earth, Black General, Om!" ”
Hearing him chant the incantation, Yan Xiaoying's face on the roof changed greatly, and she scolded angrily: "Old thief, don't want to refine my mother's corpse, take your life!" ”
In my incredible gaze, Yan Xiaoying was like a flying immortal out of the sky, flying directly down from the roof seven or eight meters high, and the person was in mid-air, and the corpse rope was waved out.
