Chapter 53 The Last Resort

The picture of the little girl on the tombstone looked at me with a smile, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on my body in the middle of the day.

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as the gas was deposited in the dantian, remembering that my high school teacher told us before the college entrance examination that this method could make people calm down quickly.

I touched my backpack, and it was bulging, and the contents were still there, which gave me a little peace of mind.

Raising his hand and glancing at his watch, it was 10:29.

If Haunted Alley does open at 12 o'clock, there are still more than ten hours left for me to fully prepare.

However, there was no doubt that sharp weapons such as knives, guns, clubs, and so on were useless in the face of that terrible being. Only things purchased in the Hades can really come in handy.

Although the Glass Bowl is not with me, my identity as a watchman will not disappear because of this, so I should still be able to enter the Hades Temple now.

However, there are many people on the street, and there is still a risk of exposure when entering the temple, so it is better to find a place where no one disturbs you to be on the safe side.

Thinking of this, I immediately walked out of the alley, this place is too evil, and every second I spend here here will make me feel more frightened.

When I got to the intersection, I saw the old woman still sitting next to the tricycle, motionless, standing like a wax figure.

What a quirky old guy, I'm sure there's something absolutely wrong with her. It's just that if I go directly to talk to her, not only will I not be able to ask a word, but my identity may be exposed.

I deliberately twisted my head to the front, didn't look at her, and when I walked through the intersection, I took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and sneak a glance at her.

But just one glance, and I froze for a moment - she was staring at me as if I were a thief who had broken into her house. The facial features on the face are as carved as they are carved, without any emotion.

But after looking at it for a while, I was surprised to find that she didn't seem to blink an eyelid!

I secretly calmed my nervousness, whether she was a human or a ghost, and the truth would be revealed tonight.

I walked down the wide road with my backpack on my back to a hotel.

This hotel was carefully selected by me, not only is it the closest to Luogou Lane, but you can also see the situation of the intersection through the window.

After opening the room, I entered the room and the first thing I did was immediately close the doors and windows.

After making sure that the room was airtight, I sat down in a chair, closed my eyes, covered the door with my right hand, and said in my heart, "The Gate of the Underworld!"

The familiar turquoise staircase came to mind, the distant top looming in the mist.

Walking up the stairs step by step, the gate of the temple glowed with a dazzling blue light, and I stepped over the threshold with mixed emotions.

This is not intended to be gambling, and if I spend too much trust, I am in danger. It's fine if I can get the Glass Cup, but if I can't find the Glass Cup, I can only prepare a suicide note!

Now I only have 10 trust points in my hand, and I must buy the most practical things and spend them for the most value.

I searched along the counter, and after more than an hour of comparison and comparison, I stopped at the counter selling pills.

In the most eye-catching position on the counter, there are red pills, which are also very popular.

Name: Ningli Dan

Effect: Long-term improvement of the user's physical strength, mental power, and the effect of the drug cannot be superimposed.

Price: 3 trust points.

This pill is beautiful and cheap, but it has roughly the same effect as the Gathering Evil Seal, and it is of little use to me if I buy it, so I continue to look forward.

A small black glowing pill caught my eye.

Name: Evil Pill

Effect: Avoid being harmed by evil objects within 15 minutes, and prevent all poisons.

Price: 9 trust points.

This thing seems to be very useful, as long as I take this evil elixir, no evil can help me, but the price is really expensive, if I buy this thing, I will have a trust value left in my hand. On the surface, it seems that I have 2 days to survive, which is enough time for me to find the Glass Glass in the Ghost Alley, but in fact, even if I find the Glass Cup, if I can't complete the next task within 2 days, I will be wiped out immediately - because one trust point can keep me alive for 5 days, and the previous 3 days have passed!

According to Mu Lao's words, everything must be carefully considered.

I shook my head and patiently continued to look at other pills, finally finding something that was slightly cheaper.

Name: Reply Dan.

Effect: Within a certain amount, the effect can be stacked to heal the user's injury.

Price: 7 trust points.

If you buy this elixir, you still have 3 trust points left, and 12 days of survival time is barely enough. The most important thing is that I now have the exorcism charm and corpse removal charm to eradicate evil spirits, and I am completely correct in the face of evil things, but I lack the secret technique to treat myself, once I am injured in the ghost alley, the evil spirits will swarm, and the consequences may be fatal. So I had to make sure I got my hands on it first. Ordinary bandages, abrasion medicine is definitely not good, first, it is difficult for me to have enough time to bandage the wound, and second, ordinary medicine cannot have such an immediate effect.

The abacus in my heart had been finalized, so I opened the glass window and reached out to take out the reply pill.

The shell of this round green pill was very hard, like a sugar-coated pill in a drugstore. Put it on the tip of your nose and smell it, and you can smell a faint mint smell...... It's unbelievable, could it be that so many miraculous elixirs are made from traditional Chinese herbs?

I only remember that the pill is a mineral-based synthetic medicine in the medicine of the motherland. For thousands of years, it has been passed down by word of mouth, and there are not many monographs in the world. Therefore, it cannot be better studied and carried forward. Since the Qing Dynasty, Western medicine has gradually been introduced to the motherland, which has hindered its development to a greater extent. In fact, from ancient times to the present, the clinical application of pills is extraordinary, and it may be more useful than those Western medicines in some places.

Tracing the origin and development of alchemy and elixir. That is, the pill originated from the alchemy of Taoism, and it is also the continuation and development of the alchemy of Taoism, alchemy and the pill are an inseparable whole, without Taoism, there can be no modern pill in our country.

Thinking of the previous "Maoshan Demon Sutra", is there any connection between dawn and Taoism? Or is it ...... The Daybreaker learned the secret methods of Taoism.

I shook my head, it's not something I should care about, it's better not to think too much about it at the moment.

When the reply Dan arrived, the number in the palm suddenly became 3, if Lin Lingling was here, he could still ask her to borrow a little, but unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the familiar figure could not be seen in the almost boundless hall of the Hades Temple. Besides, as the saying goes, the hands of others are short, and the softest of eating others, I generally do not easily ask for help.

Holding the Reply Pill in his hand, I had no money to buy anything else, so I walked out of the gate of the Hades Temple.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the tables and chairs in the hotel room.

I looked at the pill in my hand and breathed a sigh of relief, and then I had to wait here until 12 o'clock in the evening, and then go to Luogou Lane.

Opening the backpack, I was just about to put the elixir in it, when I suddenly saw a dark red scroll in the corner of the backpack.

I gently stretched out my right hand to grasp it, and the fiery energy fluctuations immediately enveloped my palm. A column of small letters in the middle of the scroll shimmered with a scarlet light—the Dry Corpse Demon Seal.

Mu Lao once warned me not to learn this talisman easily, otherwise I would go mad and become a walking corpse.

Even though his tone was so heavy, even threatening me with death, I always felt that there was something else going on in the matter......

If it was really so dangerous, why didn't the old man in the black robe remind me before?

Or rather, Mu Lao's words...... Actually, for some other purpose.

Although I know that Mu Lao will not harm me, but now the situation is different from the past, if I face unexpected dangers, this dry corpse demon seal will become my last resort!

My eyes were fixed on the dark red scroll in front of me, which flickered with impatience as if sensing my fiery gaze......

I licked my parched lips and stretched out my trembling right hand to cover the scroll.

In an instant, I felt as if I heard the call from within—my heart was filled with eagerness and excitement like a kind of return to its original owner!

Driven by a powerful attraction and restless curiosity, I slowly opened the scroll.

With a "click", the dry yellow paper slowly spread out, revealing a strong quaint atmosphere.

The paper is lined with small black letters, and the paper is divided into two parts by a narrow thick line in the middle, that is, this talisman is divided into two steps.

I started from the beginning, only skimming through the first part, and the dark black title attracted my eyes like a magic spell, and a bomb exploded in my brain—

Dry Corpse Demon Seal: Volume 1, the method of controlling corpses!
