Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ghost Sedan Chair
The hands of the compass shook violently, and it felt like it was trying to break free and escape from the compass...
The compass pointer looks like this, indicating that it has sensed a deviant magnetic field... Is something coming? I hurriedly raised my head and looked around, but it was dark and there was nothing to see except the mist. When I withdrew my gaze and fell into the circle of sealing, my mouth suddenly opened wide... What do I see? I saw that there was something in the rune circle...
Like the 'whirlwind' I saw last time, the thing in the rune circle now also looks like it is condensed by water mist, ethereal and faint. It's just that its form isn't a whirlwind... I don't know how to describe its shape, or rather, I can't describe its shape at all, because it's constantly changing, there is no specific shape, I can only roughly distinguish that at the top of it, there is something like a 'mouth', very slow, opening and closing, every time the 'mouth' opens, the compass needle 'collapses' twice...
I suddenly said in my heart, the reason why the compass is like this is because of this ghost, it actually 'appeared', but what is it doing? … Could it be that it was taking a deep breath, preparing to gather its strength, and then rush out of this talisman circle? …
I hurriedly picked up the Seven Star Sword and watched my attention. After I took the bag before, I reinforced the remaining ice runes and other powerful magic weapons in the bag on the rune ring, and at this moment, I only have a seven-star sword in my hand... After two or three minutes like this, the ghost thing in the rune circle did not rush out of it, and the 'mouth' was still there opening and closing...
I was shocked in my heart, and I couldn't help but be a little funny, and I plucked up my courage and said, "I said, man, are you always gasping for breath?" Don't worry, don't worry, I'll let you out when it's ugly, and bear with me for a while..."
The didn't know if he could understand me, so he didn't react at all, just gasping for air. I suddenly became childlike, my hands were on the ground, my body was crooked, my face was on the periphery of the rune circle, parallel to the ghost thing, my eyes looked at the night in the distance below the mountain, and I also learned from it, my mouth opened and closed...
When I closed it for the third time, I suddenly had a feeling in my heart that I was calling someone... Oh no, my back is cold, could it be that this thing is calling out to its own kind?! …
With a thrust of my hand, I got up and stood up. As soon as I arrived, I heard a sound in the stele forest below the mountain... Looking at it, I almost lost my footing in shock... I saw that at the bottom of the mountain, about forty or fifty meters away from me, there was a large fog-like thing rolling... The shape of the fog looked like the kind of mushroom cloud formed by the atomic bomb explosion, thick, and it was very conspicuous compared to the surrounding water vapor, tumbling and rolling, coming in my direction...
It's such a big mess, what the hell is this?! Could it be that the Yin Gang is coming? … I hurriedly looked at the time, it was more than half an hour before three o'clock. Xiang Feng was surrounding Xiao Jiu, and while walking, he was chanting words. When the spell is cast to a critical level, it will ignore everything around it, and people will be completely engaged, even if the sky falls, they will not notice. Xiang Feng was in this situation at the moment, he didn't feel it at all, there was a huge danger coming... What to do? Cold sweat slid down my forehead and hung on the tip of my nose, and in an instant, the fog was only twenty or thirty meters away from us...
I tried to calm my emotions as quickly as I could, and my mind was racing with one thought after another... Xiang Feng is in a pinch, no matter what method is used, I must not let that fog come and prevent him from casting spells... Thinking of this, I straightened my waist and gritted my teeth and clenched the seven-star sword in my hand tightly. The powerful magic weapons are all used to seal this yin gap, and there are only a few arrows left in the bag, so I took them out and held them in my hand. After a few big strides, he stepped down the mountain, jumped over the tombstone, and walked away against the fog...
When I came to a place four or five meters away from the edge of the fog cloud, I ran down the walkway in front of the tombstone to the left of the fog cloud, staring into the fog with wide eyes, and saw nothing. Concentrating all my strength on my right arm, with a sharp swing, I sent out two arrows. Before the arrows flew in front of the fog, they seemed to be under some invisible resistance, and they both landed...
"Come on, come at me!"
I waved the seven-star sword in my hand and shouted. Unexpectedly, the fog shrank, and it really changed direction and came towards me, at least twice as fast as before...
Relieved and frightened, I ran down the aisle to the left, and I came to the blue-brick road where Xiang Feng and I had walked before, and ran along the road toward the gate of the cemetery. After running a few steps, I looked back and saw that the fog was not far behind me...
I shouted involuntarily, quickened my pace, and as I approached the gate of the cemetery, I heard someone shouting, "What man! Then, a flashlight shone on my face.
I blocked it with my hand, without pausing on my feet, and shouted, "Go!" Come on! …”
The man must have seen the fog chasing me behind, and screamed, "My mother! "A puff of smoke ran into the house at the entrance of the cemetery, closed the door, and then the lights went out. If I rush into that house, if the fog follows, that person will be unlucky... So, I turned around and ran towards the other houses in the distance, and when I came to one of them, I made a sharp turn, ran a few steps, and when I looked back, the fog was gone! …
I stopped my feet, I felt like I was going to breathe, my hand caressed my chest, and while gasping, I looked around in surprise, what about the fog? Did it abandon me and run to find Xiangfeng? … Looking in the direction of the tomb mountain in the distance, it was dark and the night was blank, except for the water vapor, there was no fog at all...
I clutched the seven-star sword and took two steps back vigilantly, approaching the house I had passed earlier, when suddenly, I heard a faint cry coming from the house... I was startled, I don't know if it's an illusion, the cry just now, I feel very much like the morning star...
"Morning Star!"
I called.
The cry only rang out and disappeared just now, and the more it happened, the more uneasy my heart became. Concern and worry about the morning star led me to this house. As soon as I took a photo of my mobile phone, I saw that the house was very old, the door was very high, there were stone steps under the door, and grass grew in the gaps.
Stepping on the stone steps, I walked up five steps, I came to the small platform in front of the door, and with a tentative push with my hand, the door opened all at once. Looking into the dark doorway, I shuddered, and suddenly realized that the cry just now was not the morning star at all, but something in this room that was drawing me over...
Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned around, and was about to walk down when another cry came to my ears. This time it doesn't sound like it, but it's simply the voice of the morning star... I think that in that situation, no matter who the person concerned was, unless he was cowardly and afraid of things, otherwise, when he heard his sweetheart crying so heartbroken, even if there was a sea of swords and fires inside the door, he would not hesitate to step in...
I was like that, without hesitation, I turned around and stepped into the door. As soon as I entered, the crying stopped abruptly, and I came to my senses again.
Looking at the darkness in front of me, a stubborn aura arose from the bottom of my heart. The ghostly fog disappeared inexplicably, I don't know, if it had something to do with the thing that brought me in, no matter what it was, since it had already come in, I would be it for a while...
I took out my mobile phone, pressed the light and looked left and right, only to see that the room was full of sacrificial supplies, paper people, paper horses, and the like were quite small, and the barrels used for incineration were stacked high against the wall. In addition, there are strings of paper money, rolls of straw paper, incense, wax, etc...
My gaze swept around and landed on a paper sedan chair in front of me... Other paper materials, such as paper people and paper horses, are not single. Only this paper sedan chair, there is only this one, and nothing else...
This sedan chair is about the size of two nineteen-inch old-fashioned color TVs put together. The body of the sedan is pasted with red paper and has floral decorations on it. Red paper lanterns are hung on the front and back of the sedan chair. Carrying the sedan chair are four small paper figures, all wearing dark blue shrouds, with white foundation on their faces and bent pigtails on the back of their heads...
Whether it is a sedan chair or a paper figure carrying a sedan chair, the workmanship is much finer than other paper ties... In short, this sedan chair gives me a weird feeling... The room was silent, I walked to the sedan chair, squatted down cautiously, and looked under the fluorescent mobile phone, only to see that the paper curtain of the sedan chair was open with a crack. It seems that there should be 'people' sitting in the interior of this sedan chair...
My curiosity rose, I bit my lip, I held my breath, and was about to reach over and open the sedan curtain to take a look, when a thought suddenly appeared in my heart, what do you want to do? …
I couldn't help but be stunned, how could I have such a thought? When I was at a loss, another thought said, I ask you, what do you want to do? … I suddenly reacted, this thought did not arise in my heart at all, but with an inexplicable external force, I don't know where to 'drill' into my heart...
I looked around in amazement, and finally, my eyes fell on the paper sedan chair in front of me... I see, it's the 'thing' in this sedan chair, talking to me!
My heart almost didn't jump out of my mouth, and I couldn't control the trembling all over my body, was that really the case? … I swallowed hard, my lips twitched a few times, and I whispered to the sedan curtain in a voice that didn't sound like me at all, Are you talking to me? …
After waiting for a while, there was no response, I thought about it, put away my mind, condensed all my thoughts, and through my eyes, 'shot' to the sedan curtain, and said in my heart, are you talking to me? …
After about four or five seconds, a voice sounded in my heart: yes, it's...
