It was a black, terracotta jar about 20 centimeters high, the mouth of which was stuffed with a red cloth cork and a gray hemp rope tied to it. Although the corners of the jar look a little worn, the body of the jar is polished as smooth as new, and even the slightest dust is not visible. Under the light of the fire, there are a little white rays of light.

There are more than a dozen similar cans around the bottles, stacked on top of each other in the corner, and from a distance, they look like the full flasks placed at the counter of the restaurant. The only difference is that the jar that rings in front of me is larger than the other dozen or so.

Wall knock!

When Ji Qiu walked in, the jar shook again, this time the shaking was even more violent, as if there was something alive in the jar beating vigorously, the amplitude was so large that Ji Qiu felt that it would shake to the ground.

"Wait, I think this seems to be ......"

Ji Qiu only felt that the object in front of him was familiar, and after recalling it for a while, he remembered what was in the jar.

In several films in the zombie series, Yimei Daoren once stored the ghosts and ghosts he captured in an earthen pot, and then draped them with a red scarf and forcibly sealed them. Since many Chinese ghost films in later generations have continued to use this setting of collecting ghosts, Ji Qiu is also slightly impressed. He even remembered that in a certain film, there was a plot where the jar broke and the monster fled.

Then, what is in front of you is self-evident.

"Luckily it's me who came in, and if someone who doesn't know opens the lid out of curiosity, then it's going to be a problem." Ji Qiu came to the oil lamp, waved out the lamp he had just lit, and then turned on the lighter again, and retreated to the door vigilantly.

Right now......

Crackling!!

The sound of a bottle or jar shattering was particularly piercing in the silence and emptiness of the room.

“…… No, Ji Qiu hurriedly raised the lighter and shone it towards the corner of the wall.

As far as the eye could see, I saw a dark black unknown liquid flowing out from the bottom of the jar that was shaking just now, and in less than a blink of an eye, it spread and covered most of the ground in the corner of the wall silently, along with the dozen or so slightly smaller jars around it.

"What's the situation... This guy cracked on his own? Ji Qiu frowned, the scene in front of him was obviously very bad, although he didn't know if the jar would automatically crack if it was due to material problems or some other reason, but there was no doubt that since the monster in the jar had broken away, it was very likely that he who was standing not far away would become the target of its attack.

But this is not the most troublesome situation, the most troublesome ...... Ji Qiu looked at the dozen or so jars covered in black water again.

That's more than a dozen ghosts!

The ghost thing sealed by a single eyebrow, I think it can't be the kind of wandering ghost that you can encounter casually in the barren mountains and mountains, no matter how many times you have to be qualified to make waves.

Although I don't know what level the strength of Yimei Daoist is, but recalling the weasel he met in the broken temple, and then thinking about the level difficulty prompted when he first entered this reincarnation scene, the strength of that Yimei is about the same as him, and the possibility is even above him is quite large.

Ji Qiu secretly thought to himself, if the other party stupidly pounced alone, then he should still be able to deal with it, but if the other party broke the other jars and released all the remaining dozen or so ghosts, then he would probably have to run away.

At that time, not only will tonight's goal be lost, but it is estimated that the entire plot will be affected by this.

"What should I do...... Ji Qiu's mind was quickly thinking about countermeasures, but he saw that the originally calm black water in front of him suddenly rippled, and then, a black whip as thick as a finger broke out of the water and shot out fiercely towards him.

Ji Qiu quickly bent down and bowed, and the next moment, the whip slashed over his head and volleyed on the door frame, but it didn't make any sound. Rolling to dodge, Ji Qiu immediately turned around and shot a shot, slamming on the middle of the whip.

The sound of a bullet hitting the wall sounded, and a stream of water burst out from the middle of the whip, and the front end of the whip directly turned into a puddle of sewage and fell to the ground, while the back end was quickly retracted, and in a blink of an eye, it was submerged into the black water.

A few seconds after the whip retracted, there was another ripple in the black water, and then, two whips shot out again.

This time, not only have the number increased, but the width of the whip has also increased a lot.

Ji Qiu also rolled over to dodge, followed by two more bangs.

The whip retracted again, but in less than a second, it shot again.

This time it's three.

"This TM is incremental." Ji Qiu was annoyed, and this time he didn't dodge, but grabbed a child doll next to him, and threw it towards an oncoming whip.

"Don't!!" The moment he grabbed the doll, a child's voice suddenly came to mind in his mind.

"Huh? Wait......" At this moment, he seemed to remember what the puppet in his hand was.

Thoughts crossed his mind, and his hand was already half a beat slower, Ji Qiu couldn't, so he had to throw it out, and then dodge to avoid it.

Unexpectedly, the moment the puppet hit the water, it did not appear as he expected, but as if it was hit in nothingness, it instantly passed through, and then continued to fly forward in the direction of the throw.

Seeing that the puppet was about to hit the wall, the air in front of it suddenly froze, and the next moment, a pair of invisible palms appeared around the puppet as if out of thin air, restraining its castration in mid-air, causing its original rapid speed to quickly decrease to a level, and then gently hit the wall, rolled a few times, and slowly fell to the ground.

This scene looks quite weird, but Ji Qiu doesn't have time to appreciate it, just now because the puppet and the water flow did not collide, the speed of the whip did not slow down in the slightest, even if he quickly turned around to dodge, he was still inevitably whipped on the shoulder.

But the next moment, the pain did not come, and the whip was whipped on his shoulder, but it strangely penetrated his body from the point of contact, then through his chest, and then through the other shoulder.

“…… What just happened? Ji Qiu only felt a stream of black water eerily cross his upper body, but there was no strange feeling coming, and even the clothes on his body did not have the slightest trace of being wet.

What's even more strange is that after the whip passed through him, it seemed that he was stunned, and then, the entire whip body held in the air for two seconds in defiance of gravity, and then the three whips quickly contracted, and in the blink of an eye, they retracted back into the black water.

I waited in place for a while, but this time, I didn't see any more whips shooting out of the black water, but maintained a calm appearance.

"Could it be ......" Ji Qiu thought back to the scene that had just happened, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He looked up at the trail of water that had splashed on the ground from the whip he had just broken, thought for a moment, and then slowly approached the trail while keeping an eye on the direction of the black water, then stretched out his left foot and rubbed it against the sole of his shoe.

A rough touch came, the shape of the water under his feet changing shape with the friction of the upper, but his touch told him that there was only a dry stone floor under his feet, and there were no water marks.

"Sure enough... But we have to confirm again. Ji Qiu turned to face the black water in the corner, and then walked over slowly.

As he approached, the calm water rippled again, and then, the outline of a human face made entirely of black water gradually emerged from the water, and his eyes opened and looked towards him.

Ji Qiu stopped, looked at him for a while, and then moved forward again.

The wriggling of the black water became violent, and the next moment, four whips flew out and pierced various parts of his body.

Ji Qiu was well prepared this time, and as soon as Hei Shui moved, his left foot quickly drew a semicircle outward, and his body flashed to the side.

The black water brushed his body, Ji Qiu's eyes froze, his left hand instantly retracted the gun, and then his five fingers were together, turning his palm into a knife, and he slashed towards one of the whips.

Shout!!

There was a sound of his palm slicing through the air, the whip bursting, and the sewage stuck to his palm, spilling drip by drop on the ground, but he didn't feel any wet and soft touch, and his fingers were still very dry.

"Sure enough, it's an illusion," Ji Qiu's mouth raised, "It's quite slippery, I was almost deceived by you." ”

He smiled, then stopped paying attention to Heishui's movements, raised his legs and quickly ran towards the door.

"You don't care about me? Villain!! ”

This time, when he was about to reach the door again, the previous voice suddenly sounded in his head, but this time the emotional fluctuations were very strong, and the tone also gave people a sense of anger.

Only then did Ji Qiu remember that he seemed to have forgotten something.

The dolls that line the walls of the room are not ordinary dolls, but the souls of young babies who are stillborn or die prematurely. Seeing that the children who were adrift for various reasons were homeless and had no incense to worship, they were lonely and miserable, so he put them into the puppets and enshrined them in the ancestral hall, and slowly accumulated incense for them to wait for the reincarnation period.

Ji Qiu also remembered what this was the moment he threw it just now, so he had the idea of stopping.

But now it seems that the other party is still angry.

In Ji Qiu's sight, I saw that the puppet just landed on the position, and in the blink of an eye, a cloud of pink smoke rose up, and after rising to a certain height, the fog began to compress to the center.

He looked at Ji Qiu, his face held back a vicious expression, and shouted, "Big villain! You're all big bad guys!! ”

"......" Ji Qiu looked at the child in front of him, his face speechless for a while.

The one in front of him is obviously not an evil spirit, and even if he kills it, there will be no point reward. He tilted his head, and then planned to ignore the other party and walk straight out the door.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw the child's figure move, running towards the black water in the corner.

'What is he going to do?' As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he scurried to the corner, and then stooped down and grabbed the larger jar with both hands, and lifted it high above his head.

'Wait! He shouldn't be ......' before his thoughts fell, he saw the other party shouting "Big bad!" Then he raised his hands and slammed the jar against the wall.

Crackling!

As the cracking sound of the jar sounded, Ji Qiu's heart also fell to the bottom.

"Fuck you!" Ji Qiu couldn't help but scold, but when he saw the other party show a cheerful smile, he clapped his palms, and then disappeared into the air.
