Chapter 69: Five Ghosts Lead the Way

"Oh, we really lack hearts, since the peach wood demon disappeared in her own room, then there must be something like a secret passage in her guest room, as long as we find that secret passage, we can find some clues, quickly!" Uncle Li patted his head and said suddenly.

At that moment, the group returned to the guest room of the peach wood demon and carried out a carpet search of the places in the room that might have hidden flaps or secret doors, such as the flowered wooden bed, bed boards, closets, and walls, but found nothing.

After staying for a while, Uncle Li suddenly sneered: "It seems that this Cao Tong really has some ability, and he actually tricked the law to drive the five ghosts to listen to his dispatch, but how can he hide it from my ears and eyes at this time, ho ho."

Uncle Li sneered a few times, and immediately asked Yang Yiwu to look for a brush cinnabar or animal blood, and he wanted to draw a talisman to cast a spell.

Although he wondered in his heart, Yang Yi also went down to the kitchen below, rummaged through, and actually found brushes, cinnabar, incense candles, yellow mounting paper and other things that had nothing to do with the inn in those eating rice, oil and salt, so Yang Yi also determined that this inn was indeed weird, and it was not ordinary weird.

Back in the guest room on the second floor, Uncle Li, who was already waiting a little impatiently, took over a few things from Yang Yi's hands, first twisted a few pieces of yellow mounted paper and threw them into the air, and then lit incense candles and placed them in the four corners of the guest room.

After doing all this, I saw Li Shu'er take a sip of wine from the wine gourd that never left his body and spray it on his hands, then dipped a brush in cinnabar, hung his right wrist, and first drew a picture to the left on the yellow mounted paper, a total of four songs, looking a little like a cursive tiger character, and then to the end of the stroke folded downward, to the right to make two circles, and then turned to the upper right, add a vertical in the middle, and write a Yin character at the end of the vertical, so that a talisman that looks like a sheep and a tiger appears in front of everyone.

Of course, this is not the end, after drawing the rune, Li Shu'er's brush turned upside down, and used the end of the pen to penetrate the rune paper and shake it, and the rune paper spontaneously combusted without wind, and then, Li Shu'er stomped three times under his feet, and his mouth was full of words: "Five ghosts and five ghosts, rushing and busy, charming and hidden, moving impermanently, I am ordered by the edict to avoid the wilderness, if you dare to disobey, the bones will fly......"

It is also strange to say, as the speed of the incantation in Li Shu'er's mouth became more and more urgent, the temperature in the room suddenly became extremely cold, and the candlelight in a dead lantern also flickered and dimmed, as if it was about to be extinguished.

Finally, the candle flame was like a faint ghost fire, and after a sudden flame, it was extinguished, and at the same time, five black smoke came out of the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into five human figures about a meter tall, with big ears like foxes and hideous faces.

After the five ghost-like people appeared, they looked at Li Shu'er, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou with unfriendly eyes, and kept baring out sharp white teeth, as if they were intimidating and threatening them.

Li Shu'er smiled disappre一门ly, reached out and tore off his belt, and began to jerk according to the five guys, the five guys who smoked were hiding in Tibet, and their mouths kept making strange screams like night owls gnawing on human bones, which made Yang Yi and Wei Ergou feel irritable.

After a few minutes of fighting, the five guys couldn't be beaten, so they had to kneel down towards Uncle Li, arching their hands, as if they were begging for mercy.

Uncle Li saw that the five guys were honest, so he panted and put away his belt, then twisted a handful of incense ash and put it in his mouth, and began to talk to the five guys in a gurgling manner.

After talking for a while, the five guys first shook their heads and refused to agree, but they couldn't stand Uncle Li'er's several gestures to tear off their belts and continue to smoke them, and the five guys turned their backs and whispered for a few seconds before turning around and looking at Uncle Li and nodding in agreement.

Uncle Li sighed, looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou who looked uncertain, and said with a smile: "These guys are called five ghosts, if anyone loses something or gets lost at home on weekdays, as long as they can cast a spell to detain these five ghosts and persuade them to agree to cooperate, they can find the lost things or the way out, just now, I asked them to help us find the secret door where the peach wood demon was kidnapped away, they were afraid that they would be notified by Cao to retaliate against them, and refused to agree, and then under the inspiration of your uncle and my personality, Cai Xin agreed to cooperate with us......

Uncle Li was foaming at the mouth and talking happily, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Wei Ergou: "Uncle, it's all this burning eyebrows, you are pretending, go and save the peach wood demon, I'm afraid she will be like that again......"

"Grass, cultivators, must have calm breath every time there is a major event, so it's okay if you can't suppress the formation?" Uncle Li glared at Wei Ergou dissatisfied, then looked at the five ghosts and nodded.

The five ghosts saw that Uncle Li sent a signal, but it was really not ambiguous, as soon as they stretched out their hands, they didn't know where to conjure up the shovel, and the brothers began to pout their butts and dig on the ground, and after a few minutes, a circular halo appeared in the place where the five ghosts were digging, and the five ghosts stopped and looked at Uncle Li to make a gesture, and it seemed to be completed.

Uncle Li looked at the circular halo like mist on the water surface, nodded with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hand and made a few gestures with the five ghosts, and the five ghosts shook their heads and waved their hands, and also replied with a few gestures, Li Shu'er nodded helplessly, and the five ghosts whistled with satisfaction and disappeared.

"Let's go down, here you can lead to the secret passage where Cao Tong and they captured the Peach Wood Demon." Uncle Li glanced at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou and made them jump down with this white halo from the ground.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou did as they said, and followed Li Shu'er into the halo, and they felt a gust of wind in their ears, and there were constantly some familiar scenes flying in front of them, and they were in a trance, and they felt that their two feet were pierced, and then with the inertia of their bodies, they suddenly sat on a dry ground.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou got up in a daze, only to find that they were in a tunnel, said to be a tunnel, but it was built very spacious, the space was enough for a mule cart to pass through, and the surrounding soil was also tamped and then coated with lime, which looked very neat.

What made Yang Yi and Wei Ergou feel even more dizzy was that on the cave walls on both sides, every ten steps or so, there was a wall lamp made of half a human skull embedded in the cave wall, with a pool of clear oil inside, and a black lamp twisted into a faint green light.

"This is a secret passage? Why does it look like you're in an ancient tomb, so gloomy? Wei Ergou looked at the environment and sighed.

"Be quiet, don't alarm the people inside, you don't want to think about it, that Cao Tong took great pains to lay down the death of the Seven Evil Soul Locking Array in that inn, it must be to cover up some kind of shocking secret, so the secret passage was built so exquisitely, there must be something more unexpected behind it, you must be refreshed, don't take it lightly, remember?" Uncle Li looked at Yang Yi and Wei Ergou and reminded.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou nodded, and said in their hearts, if you don't talk about this, we also have to be careful, this place is too evil, and at first glance it is a murderous Longtan tiger's den.

Seeing the expressions of Yang Yi and Wei Ergou, Li Shu'er also knew that these two bastards had realized the power of this realm and didn't dare to be careless, so they didn't say much, bent over, just like a devil entering the village, and carefully walked forward against the cave wall on one side, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou followed Li Shu'er and drew a gourd in the same way.

After walking for a while, Uncle Li and the others felt a smell like a corpse ** coming to their nostrils, so smoke that they almost coughed. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Uncle Li hurriedly took out the wine gourd, let Yang Yi and Wei Ergou take a sip of it, and took a sip of it himself, and then continued to move forward.

After walking not far away, they saw a round hole appear in the cave wall in front of them, and through the round hole, they saw that below it was a large wooden warehouse, which was full of human corpses on top of each other, and some of the corpses had turned green and began to deteriorate, and emitted a strong smell of corpses.

In front of the corpses, there were four or five men with naked upper bodies covering their faces with cloths, constantly hooking out the corpses with long iron hooks, and then throwing them into a mouth, tumbling boiling blood, a large iron pot, in which it was clearly visible that some of the corpses that had been boiled muscles and bones were detached, floating, and then sinking, repeatedly, and the surface of the pot was covered with a thick layer of grease.

There were also some men beside the iron pot, who also covered their mouths with cloths, holding long copper spoons, scooping out the corpse oil on the pot and pouring it into wooden barrels, and after those wooden barrels were full, someone would soon come to take them away.

Yang Yi and Wei Ergou endured their nausea and fear and observed for a while, and found that among those corpses, there were actually the corpses of the Qing army and the Taiping army who were killed in the fierce battle outside Quwo City today.

"Uncle, what are they doing here?" Yang Yi approached Uncle Li and asked quietly.

"I don't quite understand, corpse oil is generally used to deal with those corpses that may be corpses, and some cult warlocks use corpse oil to poison or suck some powerful ghosts when they cast Gu magic, but this is the first time I've seen such a large-scale scene of refining corpse oil, what are they going to do, they will use such a large amount of corpse oil, it's incredible." Uncle Li replied in a low voice, but his face became heavier and heavier, as if he had a premonition that some kind of danger was approaching.

At this time, Uncle Li and the others heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping behind them, and couldn't help but secretly scream that it was not good, but Uncle Li was not surprised, and grabbed the clothes of Yang Yi and Wei Ergou in one hand, and directly pasted them on the top of the cave.

Condescendingly, Li Shu'er and the three of them were like bats, and they saw a green tweed sedan pulled by two black donkeys driving quickly.

After the donkey cart drove over, Li Shu'er grabbed Yang Yi and Wei Ergou and fell to the ground lightly, and dragged them away to chase the donkey cart.
