Chapter 15: Help Me
Looking at the drops of bright red blood that suddenly appeared, I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart. The palm of his hand involuntarily stretched out in the direction of Liu Daring and Xu Kun, but just as I was about to summon the two of them over, the woman in front of me specially lowered her voice and threatened: "You must not do stupid things, although those two people have charms on them, they are useless to me." I advise you to give up the struggle, or be careful that I let you all die here. ”
After that, the woman sneered at me, then turned around and bowed politely to this kind of person, and said softly: "It's really embarrassing to let you freeze outside for so long, now that the key has been delivered, I won't stay longer, I wish you all a good time." ”
As the voice slowly floated out, the woman's figure also turned suddenly, and then walked towards the distance with gentle steps. As I walked, I could faintly see the scars on the woman's arms caused by the burning of her ashes.
But I didn't realize that the men beside me were now looking at me with hatred, and I could faintly hear them talking about me in private.
Although they deliberately kept their voices very low, it was not difficult for me, who was a cultivator of the Dao Fa, to hear their conversations.
"Why is Ouyang kid so lucky, so many women like him."
"That's right, doesn't this kid just have a little money, what else can he do?"
"Is it because of his childish face?"
After listening to their "whispers", I couldn't help but feel a little angry, but I didn't blame them, after all, it is a fact that girls are very enthusiastic about me, and no matter how much I quibble, it is just in vain.
Therefore, I just smiled wryly, and pushed through the crowd to the gate, and opened the gate of the Phoenix Manor with the key that the woman gave me. The moment the key turned, I heard a sound like a mechanical gear turning, and although it was low, it did not escape my ears.
However, I didn't know where the voice was coming from. But when I wanted to investigate further, the group of eager students outside the door had already pushed open the door and rushed in. But Ke Meng did not follow them, but walked to my side with a gentle step, looking at me with a puzzled look.
"Ouyang, does that woman know you?" Although Ke Meng's palm was rubbing my head at the moment, I could feel an inexplicable aura from her palm, even if it wasn't anger, it didn't seem beneficial to me.
"I don't know." I responded casually, but I suddenly found that after hearing my answer, Ke Meng's expression slowly stretched a little, although there were still some fragmentary thoughts in his mouth, but it was harmless.
"Ouyang, tell you something? It is said that people have been hanged in the hall of this Phoenix Manor, and she is also a fairly good-looking woman. As he spoke, Ke Meng pointed to the dark red lacquer surfaces on the wall, and continued to explain: "You see, it is said that the moment that person was dying, he sprayed the blood in his mouth on the wall, and then the wall somehow began to grow red spots one by one. No matter how much the builder paints it, it can't cover it up. In the end, I really had no choice but to use this red paint to smear the walls in order to cover the glaring red spots. ”
Listening to Ke Meng's sentence by sentence, Liu and Xu and I couldn't help but believe what she said, after all, everything she said was not much different from what we had experienced. And if that's the case, then it's likely that the woman in that painting is the female ghost we saw.
While my thoughts were circulating, Ke Meng's gaze was suddenly locked on the picture scroll hanging in the main hall. A moment later, a terrifying smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Ouyang, you see that is the portrait, it is said that the woman was possessed in this portrait after she died, in order to be able to stay in this manor forever and kill everyone who came to the manor." ”
Although we are trying our best to hide the fear in our hearts at the moment, even so, there is still a little panic on our faces.
As for Ke Meng on the side, seeing the three of us turn into this picture, he couldn't help but suddenly feel a little funny: "Eh, I tease you, you really believe it." Hehe, there has never been a death in this house at all, what happened just now was all made up by me, three big men, less daring than my girl. ”
"Ke Meng, I won't tell you, the woman in your mouth, we have already met yesterday, if it weren't for our cleverness, I'm afraid we would have gone to Meng Po's to drink soup by now." A smile appeared on my face, and I reached out and took out the rag that Xu Kun had handed me at the beginning, and handed it to Ke Meng, explaining softly: "It's not that I want to scare you, it's that something terrible has happened." ”
"You, you mean, what I just said is true?" His expression suddenly became nervous, Ke Meng asked a little inarticulately, and then turned his head and whispered to himself, this time I don't know if it was because her voice was too low or something? I couldn't even make out her whispers.
"Hey, Ke Meng, what are you doing, hurry up, the tutor has already helped us open the room. Don't see the little handsome guys, forget the sisters. Ke Menggang fell into a frightened contemplation, and not far from the entrance of the building, a woman in a relatively revealing dress stomped her feet with some anger, and shouted loudly in displeasure.
Pulled out of fear by the man's voice, Ke Meng shook his head involuntarily, and after making sure that he had regained consciousness, he said to me with a forced smile: "Eh, I don't believe in those things, I advise you not to scare yourself, I'll go first, you can come to me if you have something." ”
Although she said this, I had long since handed over a long time to her a formation map that had already been drawn. Whether she believed it or not, as long as I put the formation map into her hands, I would be able to get a little comfort in my heart. And, now, somehow, I don't seem to want to see the woman in front of me put her life in danger.
After she left, I also sent this formation map to the hands of the students. But the answer I got from them was nothing but superstition and feudalism. But I don't blame them, after all, we live in this technologically advanced society, and ghosts have long become feudal superstitions, and no one will believe in their existence.
After returning to the room, Liu Daring and Xu Kun immediately set up the candles they bought back in the style of the formation diagram. As for me, I was busy drawing runes on the side, although I have now memorized all the contents of the "Sacrificial Heavenly Punishment", but the drawing of runes is not something that can be skilled overnight. And now, the only runes with attack power that I can draw are the Yuqing Breaking Charm and the Lingkui Town Ghost Talisman.
However, it should be enough to use these two to deal with the female ghosts in the Phoenix Manor. Moreover, in order to ensure that the power of the runes is strong enough, I also specially mixed some ashes from the sachets into the paint paint. After all, this thing can hurt female ghosts, so the runes drawn with it should not be too bad.
I wasn't too fast, and I only drew a dozen or so in an afternoon. However, this is a huge improvement from when I was in high school. And then, all I had to do was "wait" for the ghost to come.
Before I knew it, night had fallen, and although the entire Phoenix Manor was shrouded in dazzling lights, the little chill that seeped out from under the ground always made me shiver involuntarily.
Later, I learned from my master that there was a reason why I had such a keen sense of ghosts.
In the house, Liu Daring and Xu Kun sat on the bed without saying a word. And beside their beds, the candles that had been lit were already neatly arranged according to the formation I had laid out. As for me, I sat alone on the sofa, my hands clenching the talisman in my pockets, and my eyes fixed on the dark red door, as if waiting for the ghost in the painting to appear.
I don't know if it's because I'm overstrained, or what? So much so that every time I used my hands to exert force, a sore numbness suddenly appeared on my arms, making my palms involuntarily relax.
But at the moment when my spirit was relaxed, a crisp knock on the door suddenly appeared, accompanied by a strange female voice to my ears: "Ouyang, are you there?" ”
At this moment, I have already broken out in a cold sweat, and I can still care about answering any questions! I saw that with a slam of both hands, I pulled the rune out of my pocket and pressed it precisely against the door that was knocking.
The hand was pointing with the sword, and the spirit spell floated out, and in an instant, a dazzling red light shrouded the entire door. This is the special effect of the exorcist talisman, although the power of the door will be relatively reduced, but as long as it hits the dirty thing outside the door, then even if the other party does not die, it will be burned by the light of the exorcist talisman.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in my heart, but this feeling didn't last long, and it was dissipated by the woman's voice again. It stands to reason that the likes of ghosts, after being damaged by runes, even if the injury is not serious, will instinctively flee, and then look for the next opportunity to attack. But at this moment, the things outside the door did not escape as I expected, could it be that the things outside the door are not ghosts but people?
With this doubt, I came to the door, but the moment I opened the door, a woman's figure immediately appeared in my sight. And isn't this the woman who appears in the painting?
The strange thing is that she is a ghost, but why can't she be damaged by runes? Could it be that her yin power is already strong enough not to be affected by runes?
Thinking of this, I saw the woman slowly walking into my room, staring at me in front of me with a look of grievance. After a while, a blood-red tear suddenly oozed from the corner of the woman's eyes, and she sobbed and said, "Ouyang, please help me." ”
