Chapter 18: The Ghost of the Old Building (10)
"At half past twelve we were waiting for you in the aisle, but we waited left and right, but we didn't see you. Afterward...... They quarreled! Xu Shan and I thought that we should go to Zhang Lu and Mo Qianqian immediately, but Chang Qing and Qi Zhen insisted on waiting for you to come before acting. After a stalemate for a while, we suddenly found that Mr. Ling had secretly come out of the bamboo forest and walked towards the old building in a panic, as if he had ...... in his hand Clutching something wrapped in red thread.
When the two of them saw it, they immediately jumped up, their faces were pale, as if they were nervous, and they followed Teacher Ling without saying a word, and we had no choice but to follow them. As a result, as soon as we entered the old building, Mr. Ling was gone, and we searched for it floor by floor. Xu Shan and I saw a white shadow flashing in the corridor on the fourth floor, and when we chased after it, the ground was ...... Suddenly it collapsed, and a big hole was opened, and Xu Shan and I ...... Fell through that opening one after another! ”
Ge Hong said, glaring at Chang Qing and Qi Zhen fiercely, probably thinking that it was all their fault that they were trapped here.
"A few of our boys were on the third floor, and when we heard Ge Hong and Xu Shan's screams, we ran up quickly, and saw that the corridor on the fourth floor seemed to have an earthquake, the ground was constantly twisting, and a big hole was cracked in the middle, Ge Hong was gone, and Xu Shan was falling...... Ye Fei and I rushed up to pull her, Chang Qing yelled at her from behind, but I couldn't hold my feet, and I fell down with Xu Shan all of a sudden. Shao Qing looked at Xu Shan, a shy smile appeared in his eyes, "Ye Fei was pulled by Chang Qing. Later, I don't know why, Chang Qing and Qi Zhen both came down, but they didn't see Ye Fei again. ”
"Qi Zhen and I jumped by ourselves. I left Ye Fei behind, originally wanting him to answer outside. In case of...... We've all had an accident, so let's leave someone to report it! Chang Qing finished speaking very lightly, stared at me with burning eyes and asked, "Did the boy in blue ask you for something?" ”
I shook my head absentmindedly, still thinking to myself: In Ge Hong and Shao Qing's narrative just now, I obviously seemed to have grasped something, but all of a sudden my thoughts were chaotic again, what made me feel wrong?
"Well, you haven't answered yet, what's the strange thing on your chest?" Ge Hong stabbed me in the waist with her hand.
"Oh, it's a black stone!" My heart suddenly moved, and I simply took out the spirit stone hanging in my clothes. The spirit stone wrapped in several layers of red thread seemed to want to show off at this time, and the white light was even more abundant, crystal bright, and dazzling.
"Wow, what kind of stone is this? It's amazing, it's like a pearl of the night! Well, no, like ...... Big Diamonds! Xu Shan's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a real diamond!
Everyone stared at it intently, with appreciative and intoxicated glances. However, I found that Chang Qing and Qi Zhen looked at it with imperceptible bitterness in their eyes.
"It's not a pearl of the night, it's not a diamond, it's a stone. But it's not an ordinary stone, it's a spirit stone! I gently stroked the spirit stone, and in an instant, the figures of Sun Anning, Chen Qiu, Chang Daochang, Grandma Xu, Xu Lan, Xiaozhen, and Dahu flashed one by one like lightning.
Many past events come to mind, the miserable and sad skeletons in the deserted garden, and the hideous and terrible gluttony in Xu's house; Bright red cinnabar charms, golden dragons roaring with their heads held high; Mysterious wizard, a corpse glowing corpse...... In the end, thousands of strands were entwined on the glorious spirit stone in front of him!
"Hey, hey, don't be in a daze! There seems to be a ...... Something's coming to us! Shao Qing reminded loudly, and everyone reluctantly withdrew their gaze from the spirit stone.
I looked up, and sure enough, in the originally empty darkness ahead, a large gray shadow was slowly moving towards us. Closer, closer, I gasped several times, and my scalp tingled.
Unlike just now, when we relied on the light of the spirit stone to see each other clearly, this large shadow clearly showed its full picture - it was actually people of different shapes! If they're human, of course.
I saw these "people", both men and women, old and young, quietly moving their feet. Some of them had neat faces, but their shoulders were collapsed, and their broken arm bones pierced their clothes straight through, tearing at the muscles that had been turned out one by one with the rhythm of their movements; Some of them have all four limbs, but their heads are like watermelons that have been smashed open, black and not black, red and sticky blood dripping outward; Others had their heads intact, but their necks seemed to have been bitten off by some wild beast, and hung down on their shoulders, as if they would fall off at any moment; Some of them were intact from head to toe, but every inch of skin exposed to the outside of their clothes was turquoise, like rusty iron swords buried deep underground for thousands of years...... "they" were neatly dressed in all kinds of clothes, and they were coming to us with expressionless faces, and they looked like there were hundreds!
"Ahh …… OMG! Qi Zhen was finally stimulated by this shocking scene, exclaimed exaggeratedly, jumped behind Chang Qing like an arrow, and didn't forget to hold my hand and shout, "This...... What is this? Ghost? Corpse? Mummy? ”
His voice was already terrifying, and against those terrifying "backgrounds", the faces of the others were all whiter than white paper, and everyone subconsciously leaned close together, Ge Hong and Xu Shan trembled, and they didn't faint on the spot, which was really a blessing.
I looked at Qi Zhen, and then at Chang Qing, who was blocking in front of me and clenched his fists, but I didn't feel particularly scared, because Qi Zhen was finally back to normal now, not like just now...... The look in my eyes was so strange that I felt inexplicably lost and sad; Although Chang Qing blames me on his lips, when there is danger, he will definitely stand up and protect me!
The dense mass approached us, and soon surrounded us on the inner and outer threes. "They" stood silently, expressionlessly, without crying, laughing, or talking, hundreds of people (people?). Not even the faint sound of breathing!
"Hey, everyone...... Uncle, aunt, ahem, big brother, big sister, this ...... Ahem, we don't know each other, we have no grudges in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future! As the saying goes: 'There is a head for injustice, and there is a master for debts', whoever harms you, you can go to whomever you want, don't use it to haunt us! Qi Zhen cried with a sad face, pitiful and tried to persuade.
"They" were unmoved, but instead moved a few steps closer to us, however, "they" seemed to be afraid of the white light emitted by the spirit stone, and as soon as they touched the white light, they quickly retreated.
"Why is there no response? It won't be so unlucky! You guys really ...... Ghost? Is this hell? Could it be that in order to invigorate the economy of Huangquan, Lord Yan is also carrying out promotional activities and wants us to participate in a 'day trip to hell'? ”
"Shut up! Don't talk nonsense! "Chang Qing and I drank very tacitly to stop Qi Zhen from continuing to talk nonsense.
"Changqing, what should I do? …… What are you looking for? I asked in a low voice.
"They are afraid of your spirit stone, and there will be no danger for the time being." Chang Qing didn't look back, scanning "them" nervously, "I'm looking for a ...... to manipulate them" Stuff! ”
I looked up at these "people" around us, although there were many "them" and different shapes, they gave people the feeling that there was no difference, they really looked like a large group of unconscious, lifeless, manipulated puppets!
"Huh? Fei! Shao Qing suddenly pointed to the left front in surprise, and we followed the sound to identify it carefully, and sure enough, we found Ye Fei. His head was bleeding, half of his face was covered with blood, his clothes were mottled with black mud and blood, and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't recognize him in a hurry.
"Ye Fei, Ye Fei, those ...... It's all monsters! Danger, come here! Shao Qing was his best friend, and when he saw him in such a miserable state, he ran to him anxiously and wanted to pull him over. Ye Fei grinned at Shao Qing and walked up to meet him.
Seeing that Ye Fei entered the range of the white light of the spirit stone, he suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground without warning, Shao Qing ran to him and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull him.
At this moment, I found that Ye Fei who was lying on the ground was motionless, but his shadow shook violently, stood up suddenly, and quietly pasted towards Shao Qing! I shuddered, this situation can only show that this shadow is not Ye Fei's!
"Be careful, he's not Ye Fei!" I remembered what happened to me a little earlier, and my mind flashed to understand, and I hurriedly shouted.
It's a pity it's late!
Shao Qing heard my shout, his fingers just grabbed Ye Fei's clothes and retracted, and just as he was stunned, the shadow quickly attached to his chest, and the blue-gray light penetrated into his body. The stunned look on Shao Qing's face was still there, but his face also turned a strange blue-gray in the blink of an eye. He slowly straightened up in front of us, the muscles of his face twitching constantly, and his expression was extremely painful, as if he was desperately resisting something.
"Shao Qing, how are you?"
"Shao Qing, you speak! Answer us quickly! "I, Ge Hong, and Xu Shan all asked anxiously, but Shao Qing's expression was so terrible that we didn't dare to approach him.
"Changqing, what should I do? This...... Shao Qing doesn't matter, right? Qi Zhen pushed Chang Qing, who was standing on the side, hard.
"Don't go near him! …… I'll figure it out! Chang Qing's tone was very strange, he stared at Shao Qing's eyes, as if he was hesitating something.
After a moment, Shao Qing's expression calmed down, his eyes were empty, the blue-gray color on his face faded, and the whole person became very quiet. We noticed a change in him, and for a moment we didn't know if it was good or bad.
Xu Shan stepped forward and asked carefully, "Shao Qing, are you ...... You okay? Did you feel something was wrong? ”
"Nope! Xu Shan, I'm fine. Shao Qing smiled and prepared to come over.
"Don't move! …… If you take another step, I'm going to be rude to you! Chang Qing clenched his fist with his right hand, and pointed at Shao Qing with his left hand and shouted.
"What's wrong with you? So fierce to me! Shao Qingyan smiled and looked very natural.
"You're not Shao Qing anymore, stop acting! Who are you? Are you the boy in blue who pretended to be Ye Fei and pushed her off the old building? Chang Qing said coldly, "You are the one who caused a series of bloody cases in this old building!" ”
"Oh, how did you guess this?" Shao Qing, no, maybe it was the boy in blue, who looked at us with interest, and the faces of me, Qi Zhen, Ge Hong, and Xu Shan changed color together.
"Hmph, I didn't guess! That shadow is your 'real body', and from the moment it was erected, I knew I had found the manipulation...... The culprit of those things! ”
"Then why didn't you stop me in time?"
"I ...... I want to know who you really are! Why are you doing this? Chang Qing's expression became nervous, and his right hand trembled slightly.
"Actually, you've already guessed who I am, but you've never been sure!" "Shao Qing" smiled indifferently, and no longer looked at Changqing, but looked at us.
Changqing's expression froze and he lowered his head.
We looked at "Shao Qing" suspiciously, only to see "he" standing there with a smile, looking at us with a look in his eyes that was not as vicious and vicious as he expected, but light and light.
Who could "he" be? I had a vague feeling that "he" should be someone I was familiar with.
"Why are you pretending to be Ye Fei and pushing me downstairs? …… What did you do with Ye Fei? What about Shao Qing? and Zhang Lu and Mo Qianqian, who were also harmed by you? Do you have a deep enmity with us? I had already assumed that "he" was the boy in the blue suit, so I asked angrily.
"Hate? What kind of hatred I will have with you! It's not just you, but even these ......" "He" paused and glanced around, "Since the construction of this building in 1929, the principals, teachers and students who have died tragically and disappeared one after another have no grudge against me!" ”
"His" expression, for a moment, turned out to be quite apologetic, but it was just a "flash in the pan".
"He" slowly withdrew his gaze, his expression became colder, and his eyes flashed with ridicule and cruelty: "Even if there is no grudge, there is no innocent or resentful in my eyes, and I will never let you go!" Thousands of ghosts, that's what I want! ”
"He" waved his hand, and the wind "whirring" in the darkness suddenly became violent, and a thick blue fog came out of nowhere, and pressed towards us violently. Those things that were originally silent and like puppets also began to move, and all kinds of terrible and terrifying expressions replaced Mu Ran, and those ugly and twisted, fleshy bodies frantically threw themselves into the white light of the spirit stone, completely ignoring the fact that they became more incomplete when they touched the white light!
"They're not afraid of your spirit stones! What to do? Find a way! Ge Hong and Xu Shan shrank together in panic, closed their eyes and screamed.
I was stunned, I don't know if it's a ghost or a monster, even if the spirit stone has the power to deal with it, I don't know how to let it be used! If only Chang Dao was here, he must have a way to deal with it! Such a thought suddenly crossed my mind. Odd! How could I have remembered that Chang Dao was here?
"You devil! See how I ambush you! Chang Qing said, his left hand was raised in front of his chest, his expression was solemn, his fingers were curled and stretched, there were words in his mouth, and the golden light of his clenched right finger was faintly visible.
Hey? Why is this scene so familiar?
Without waiting for me to ask, he shook his right hand in a dashing manner, and a golden light went straight to the chest of "Shao Qing". Shao Qing sneered disdainfully, and suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out a big breath towards the golden light.
It was like an invisible breath, but it brought up the yin wind of grits, and the golden light was blocked halfway, and it was helpless to spin in the yin wind. I saw it clearly, it was a talisman, the familiar cinnabar symbol shining brightly in the golden light, it was the "Heavenly Master Exorcism Talisman", which I also once had. It seems that Chang Qing has also hidden something from me after all, and he is probably related to Chang Daochang, and I am secretly sad. However, it seems that it is not enough to use this talisman to deal with such a powerful ghost!
"Help! Those things...... Evergreen, come and save us! With Ge Hong and Xu Shan's exclamations, Qi Zhen shouted angrily, those terrible things had been forced to come forward, and they had to keep dodging left and right, but there was less and less space to move, and several times, the terrible severed limbs and stumps were going to touch their bodies, which was really embarrassing!
"I want to take the Dao Talisman to ambush me, I really don't know whether to live or die!" "Shao Qing" looked at Chang Qing's eyes full of condescending ridicule and pity, as if he was looking at a poor worm who had killed himself!
Chang Qing's expression did not move, he met this contemptuous gaze fearlessly, and his right hand was raised to his chest to form a handprint, and the "Heavenly Master Talisman" spun rapidly in the wind vortex, and before long, the talisman actually burned, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into ashes.
My heart tightened, and a scream almost jumped out of my throat. But seeing the light in Changqing's eyes, the thumb of his left hand pinched his middle finger and index finger, and shouted: "Disease!" The ashes seemed to be glued, and they gathered together in the blink of an eye, and then burst open with a "pop", and three points of white light rose one after another, and suddenly became larger, and in mid-air, they became three lights with swaying white light! The base is shaped like a lotus flower, and there is no lampshade, just like an everlasting lamp in front of the Buddha in the temple. What's even more bizarre is that the base reflects a colorful and dreamlike light under the white light, which looks like a colorful glass lamp!
We were stunned, and we all stared at the real lamp in front of us.
As soon as the lamp appeared, "Shao Qing"'s face changed suddenly, his eyes were immediately blood-red, and the miserable blue light scurried in "his" entire body.
"Nine Shadow Lantern Array! …… Stinky boy, you, you're actually cheating! "He" seemed to be very afraid of the white light of the lamp, and staggered back with his hand to block the light.
At the same time, those terrible things that surrounded them also stiffened backwards, and those who were illuminated by the light would make a "snorting" sound all over their bodies, and their bodies would gradually blur and seem to be evaporating!
"Wow! It's amazing! …… Jiuyou, such a beautiful lamp actually gave such a ghostly name, it's really unlearned! Changqing, who gave it the name? Well, this lamp is a little weird, what has changed? It can't be a ghost too, right? Ghost fighting, haha, it's really lively...... Woohoo......"
"Shut up, Qi Zhen! You're talking nonsense again! I reacted, hurriedly pulled Qi Zhen over, and covered his mouth with my hand.
It's really "easy to change, but nature is hard to change"! The situation was just a little better, and he began to talk nonsense and play poor again, but poor Changqing looked immobile just now, chic and calm, but now he was so angry that he glared and gritted his teeth, and his mouth was crooked.
“…… You're going to suffocate me to death! …… I'm just expressing a little personal opinion, this is 'insight', why are you so cruel to me? Hey, how did his face grow longer than a horse's face? His eyes were as wide as a brass bell, and his mouth was crooked? Qi Zhen pulled my hand away and continued to shout with a very innocent expression.
Ge Hong and Xu Shan looked at Qi Zhen and at Chang Qing's face, they couldn't hold it back, and laughed wildly ungracefully.
"Alright, alright, stop laughing! …… Laughing again, it affects Evergreen, what should those monsters do if they pounce again? I hurriedly reminded them to laugh, and to laugh until we are safe to leave this hellish place, the danger has not passed! After I reminded them, they finally struggled to hold back their laughter.
