Chapter 163: Straight to the Lifeline
Xu Maozong came back to his senses and looked at Xu Jing with a somewhat complicated expression, and after a long time, he let out a long breath and nodded slightly.
Xu Jing lit the oil lamp in the house, then put away the flame of the long knife, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to breathe.
Boom~!
There was a sudden crashing sound outside the room, followed by a scream from the female ghost, and bursts of light erupted from the talismans attached to the window.
Xu Jing closed his eyes, looked deaf, and soon entered a state of cultivation.
But Xu Maozong couldn't calm down at all, under the light of the oil lamp, he clearly saw a figure outside the window, her feet floating off the ground, her hair writhing like countless snakes.
Bang bang bang......
The figure crashed around the room from time to time, but again and again it was blocked by the light from the talismans that were plastered, and even flew out screaming.
After seeing the female ghost returning again and again in vain, Xu Maozong finally calmed down, his face was full of surprise, and he approached the talisman attached to the wall next to him to take a closer look.
After looking at it for a while, he looked back at Xu Jing again, with a thoughtful look on his face, faintly thinking of something.
Time passed little by little, and the night outside was getting darker and darker.
Perhaps tired from the toss, the female ghost finally stopped, but she did not leave, but faced the room and stood motionless outside the door.
The oil lamp in the house crackled and was about to burn out.
Xu Maozong didn't hear any more movement outside the house, his eyes moved away from the talisman on the wall, and turned his head to look at the door.
At this glance, his whole person had a creepy feeling, and a dense layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Although there was a door, he seemed to see a pair of eyes full of resentment, staring at him.
"Woo...... Whining...... My poor child......"
The female ghost sensed Xu Maozong's gaze and immediately began to cry.
Her cry was faint, and it sounded mournful, as if it was in great pain.
The talismans in the room were one after another, and a faint light came out in circles, although most of the power of confusion was isolated, but it still affected Xu Maozong.
He couldn't help but feel a wave of sympathy in his heart, and his steps involuntarily moved forward, wanting to open the door and let the other party in.
"Uncle!"
Xu Jing opened his eyes at this time and snorted.
Xu Maozong came back to his senses in an instant, his heart was furious, and he fell back to the same place step by step.
"Hiss......"
He gasped and turned around, not daring to look out of the house again.
Xu Jing stood up with a knife, looked around, and said, "I'll go out and deal with her!" ”
The light emitted by the talisman was already a little dim, and if it continued like this, it would definitely not last until dawn.
Instead of waiting, it is better to seize the opportunity and directly remove the threat, otherwise when Fu Gong's power is exhausted, he will not only have to deal with the attack of the female ghost, but also protect Xu Maozong, which will be a very unfavorable situation.
After Xu Maozong heard Xu Jing's words, he panicked in his heart and said worriedly: "Jing'er, you ......"
"Uncle!" Xu Jing waved his hand and said, "We can't delay the dawn like this, but don't worry, even if I can't deal with her, I am sure that I will retreat." ”
Xu Maozong looked at Xu Jing's confident look, and became more and more sure of the previous speculation in his heart, but he no longer stopped it, but said solemnly: "Be careful!" ”
Xu Jing nodded, and then his voice beamed into a line and went straight into Xu Maozong's ears and said: "Ghosts are very good at confusing people, after I go out, I will either come back at dawn, or I will break the door directly and come in, and I won't let you open the door." ”
"I understand."
Xu Maozong has traveled south and north, and has been a county lieutenant for many years, and it is not the first time he has encountered demons and monsters, not to mention that he has also seen the power of this female ghost today, how dare he disagree.
As he spoke, he tore two pieces from his clothes and plugged his ears.
Xu Jing was still not at ease, put down the long knife, pinched the seal in his hand, and pointed it on Xu Maozong's ears on both sides.
Xu Maozong suddenly couldn't hear any sound anymore, he understood Xu Jing's intentions, and nodded slightly.
Xu Jing checked the inside of the house again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he slowly walked to the door with a knife.
At this time, the female ghost outside the door was gone, and there was silence in the corridor.
Xu Jing sensed it with all his strength, and after confirming that the other party was not outside the door, he made a gesture to Xu Maozong behind him, and then rushed out with a flash of the door of Laka's room.
Boom~!
Xu Maozong reacted very quickly, simply closed the door, and pressed the talisman on the door again, and then he returned to the house, sat on the ground with the door on his back, closed his eyes and began to cultivate and recover without distraction.
Xu Jing leaned against the door of the room, looked left and right, and a wisp of demonic power in his body was injected into the knife.
In an instant, the long knife in his hand was like a red-hot soldering iron, dispelling the darkness, and a scorching air stream spread out and swept towards the surroundings.
Xu Jing knew that the female ghost was hiding nearby, but he didn't have time to play hide and seek with the other party, and he thought about what happened tonight, and probably found the key to breaking the game in his heart.
It was impossible for this female ghost to appear out of thin air, and the whole village, he had already checked, and now the most suspicious thing was the dry well that was dry but suddenly bursting with water.
Originally, he thought that he had encountered external causes such as crustal movements, but when he thought about it now, he felt that it was unlikely to be accidental.
Counting the little ghost he killed, as well as the female ghost, it is very likely that it is inseparable from the dry well that has changed.
Xu Jing's brain was spinning, he wasn't sure if his guess was correct or not, but no matter what, he was ready to go and investigate.
There is a brief introduction in the internal incident records of the Black Guard, this kind of ghost thing whose strength has not reached the second level has a place to stay, and most of them are corpses or some special things before death, and they can't leave too far.
If the dry well is the root cause, Xu Jing believes that as long as he goes there, the female ghost will inevitably return desperately to deal with him after discovering it.
As soon as he had made his decision, he made a noise, left the station, and ran wildly towards the village.
Not long after Xu Jing left, a shadow faintly emerged in the shadows, it was the female ghost who had just been hidden, but her whole body quietly began to change, and finally turned from virtual to real, and actually became Xu Jing's appearance.
Knock knock~!
She walked outside the room, knocked on the door, and said, "Uncle, it's me, open the door quickly." ”
Her lips were motionless, but she made the same sound as Xu Jing.
The voice did not contain a trace of resentment, and the talisman in the room did not react.
But it's a pity that her actions were like playing the piano to a cow, Xu Maozong had his back to the door, his hearing was closed, and he fell into cultivation, and there was no reaction at all.
The female ghost did not give up, kept knocking on the door, and after a long time, she finally had no choice, and in anger she turned back to her original state, and rushed violently in a frenzy.
Bang bang bang......
The light of the talisman in the room was getting dimmer.
Although Xu Maozong couldn't hear the movement, he could still sense the energy fluctuations of the talisman, and his originally quiet mind suddenly fluctuated, and he couldn't calm down anymore.
His eyelids trembled slightly, and he wanted to open them, but he held back, sensing that the energy fluctuations emitted by the talisman were getting weaker and weaker, and the pressure in his heart was getting heavier and heavier.
I don't know how long it took, but just when he began to sweat all over his body and was anxious in his heart, the surrounding talismans suddenly stopped fluctuating.
Xu Maozong was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly opened his eyes, but after seeing that the talisman was not damaged, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he turned around, and at this time, there was no trace of the female ghost outside.
Did Jing'er lure her away?
Xu Maozong clenched his fists, and his heart became worried.
