Chapter Twenty-Five: The Charm of the Spirit

It was cold, and I felt like I was in an ice cellar, and the biting cold cut through my skin and seeped into my bone marrow. If I continue like this, I will freeze to death in the cold darkness. Thinking of this, my desire to survive washed away the perception around me like a tsunami, and then I used all my strength to move my whole body, and after a hard struggle, I opened my eyes.

The fat man's huge body was reflected in my eyelids, and when I woke up, I found that I was not lying in the center of the tomb when I was discussing the incident just now, and the surrounding stone walls showed that I was in a tomb at this time, I glanced at the side and found that Yue'er was lying quietly beside me, sleeping very peacefully. At this time, I remembered the vicissitudes of life in my dream, and I recited the verse in my heart, but I still did not understand the meaning.

And just as I was thinking, the fat man in front of me suddenly turned around, didn't even look at me, reached directly to my chest, grabbed the peach tree brand amulet hanging on my chest, I couldn't help thinking: Dead fat man, why did you suddenly get rich, and steal my amulet while I passed out, and he himself obviously has an identical peach wood brand amulet, why take me if he has nothing to do?

The fat man ripped my mahogany amulet, and I struggled to sit up from the ground in confusion, but the fat man in front of me didn't even notice that I woke up, still staring intently at the entrance of the tomb. I vaguely heard a loud noise coming from in front of me, and I wanted to ask the fat man with his back to me, "What the hell is going on outside?" ”

But my throat was dry, and I couldn't make a sound at all, so I reached out and patted the fat man's thigh, asking him to give me saliva to drink. As a result, the fat man turned out to be like seeing a ghost, and rushed forward with a "whoosh" A foot away, and then turned back alertly, and the nervousness was overflowing. As a result, the frightened fat man found that I was awake, and the frightened expression on his face slowly dissipated, and he immediately walked up to me and said to me, "Lao Zheng, when did you wake up?" However, what you filmed me didn't scare me to death. "I was very surprised when I saw that the fat man was alive, and I said: What is the terrible thing that makes the fat man, who has always been bold, so sincerely afraid?

And just when I was puzzled, through the fat man squatting in front of me, I saw a figure flashing at the entrance of the tomb behind him, like the figure of a monkey. He was probably attracted by the fat man's voice, but he only glanced at it and disappeared at the entrance to the tomb, and I felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because I was in the narrow tunnel, completely obscured by the fat body of the fat man, I couldn't see what was going on outside, and I couldn't ask what was going on in my stomach.

So, I pointed to my mouth in a panic, and then made a sound like sawing wood. The fat man looked at me, suddenly grabbed my shoulders nervously, and said to me in pain while shaking my body: "Lao Zheng, why are you dumb?" Was it harmed by Gu poison? ”

My current body is very weak by the remnants of Gu poison, and I am full of pain, and I was shaken so vigorously by the fat man that I almost fainted again. I couldn't help but scold in my heart: "Damn fat man, the brain structure is completely different from ordinary people, and the ability to think crankily is growing, why can't you think of something useful, you are dumb." ”

Seeing that the fat man misunderstood the meaning, I had to break free of his strong hands, and then pointed to the kettle on his body and made a gesture of drinking. Only then did he understand, and hurriedly untied the kettle and handed it to me. I gulped down the cold and sweet water, which flowed through my desert-like dry throat and into my internal organs, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then returned the kettle to the fat man, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and asked the fat man, "Where have you gone, what is going on outside, why is it so noisy?" ”

The fat man did not answer my question, but pulled me up from the ground and helped me to the end of the graveyard. I stood at the entrance of the tomb and looked into the tomb, the figures of the master and the smoke man flew up and down in the dim tomb, dodging the countless white mist-like shadows in the tomb, and then pasted yellow talismans on the body of the white shadow, and the white shadow immediately turned into a puddle of water and dissolved on the ground.

I have seen this white fog shadow when digging a thief hole before, once through my body, through the wall outside the tomb, it does not have any danger, why everyone is all nervous, sweaty face in dodge, and constantly paste yellow charms on the white shadow, can it be said: The white mist shadow in front of me is actually a ghost, but why didn't it hurt me in the first place? Could it be that they are showing me an extrajudicial favor, or that I am physically different from ordinary people, so that the ghosts cannot see me or feel me, but these thoughts are a little scary and simply impossible?

At this time, I saw something strange, the third brother of the cigarette man, standing upright in front of the three coffins, stiff like a corpse frozen in an instant, and maintaining a frightened expression on his face with frost flowers. And I found that the stone wall on the outside of the tomb entrance was covered with yellow charms. As soon as I wanted to ask the fat man what was going on, the Master's figure flashed into the tomb where I was, stuffed a handful of yellow talismans into the fat man's hand, and then said to him, "Fat baby for you." It seems that I am really old, and I am a little overwhelmed when I move. ”

The fat man held the yellow talisman and said to the master, "You always have a good rest." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the tomb, but he didn't dodge around like a monkey and a smoke man, but rushed directly towards countless white shadows, and posted the yellow talisman in his hand one after another, and the white mist shadow instantly turned into a pool of transparent liquid.

I looked at the situation in front of me in amazement, completely confused, when the master next to me opened his mouth and said to me, "You woke up, do you feel any discomfort?" ”

I said to Master in a slightly weak tone, "I'm fine. Then I looked at the chaos in the tomb and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Master explained to me, "When you passed out, everyone was busy checking on you, and I don't know who pried open the leftmost coffin. As a result, these white shadows floated out of it, and then passed through Xiao Yangbai's brother's body without warning, and he was frozen to death in an instant, with no chance to rescue him at all. ”

Hearing this, my eyes widened, the third child actually died unexpectedly in a moment of my coma, staring at the stiff third child in disbelief, only to see that his face was already blue, and his whole body was already frozen, looking like an ice sculpture from a distance.

I was very surprised, and asked the master puzzled, "No, Master, when I was digging the thief cave before, I encountered this white shadow, why didn't I freeze to death?" ”

Master looked at me and smiled and said, "That's not because you have the blessing of the peach wood talisman on your body, otherwise you would have been like him a long time ago." ”

I stroked the peach wood card hanging on my chest with my hand, it turned out that this thing still has this wonderful use, I always thought that it was just used as a psychological support when inverting the bucket, and it would not play a big role, I didn't expect to be able to guard against these weird things, no wonder the fat man can rush to the white fog shadow without any scruples, and not dodge like other people.

I looked at the white mist shadows that kept pouring out of the coffin, and the three smoked men who were sweating profusely and dodging and attacking at the same time, and I was very nervous. The ground in the tomb was already wet, as if it had just rained, and everyone had to be careful of the slippery ground when dodging, so as not to slip, such a highly concentrated run, the body would be consumed very much, I don't know how long they can last. And what worries me the most is that the open coffin on the ground is like a machine-making machine, constantly outputting white shadows, as if there is no end.

So, I asked Master very worriedly, "What is this white shadow?" Why are there so many and still so powerful? ”

Master's face was not very good, and he said to me, "It's a ghost." ”

"Ghosts" are ghosts that have been cultivated, which is also called "ghosts". However, I can't connect the white shadow in front of me with the legendary ghost. In my eyes, the white shadow is more like a condensation of water vapor vaporized by a liquid that has been evaporated at high temperatures.

I saw that the yellow talisman in the fat man's hand had bottomed out, and the situation of the others was similar, and I suddenly remembered that the master's yellow talisman was useless. How could it suddenly become so magical? The incident that happened in the suspicious grave of King Xiangwang in Yunnan Province made the green noodles dumplings excited, and almost lost their lives, so I asked the master the doubts that I have always had in my heart.

After hearing this, the master first glared at me, and then explained: "I haven't taught you to draw talismans and formulas, and you don't know the specific usage of the yellow talisman. ”

After hearing this, I immediately asked curiously: "As long as there is a corpse talisman in the inverted bucket, why do you still have a corpse talisman?" ”

When Master saw that I looked like an elm head, he said to me angrily, "You know a fart, the corpse talisman is very useful." Jiangxi's "corpse chaser" has to rely on the corpse talisman to pick up the corpse first before the corpse can be chased. When Xia Dou was promoted to become wealthy, if he wanted to take off the valuable clothes on the zongzi, he had to use the corpse talisman to make the joints of the already stiff corpse move flexibly, and take off the expensive clothes and ornaments on the corpse intact. ”

I was scolded, unconvinced, and complained in my heart: It's not that Master you refuse to teach me these Maoshan secret techniques, so I don't understand, why are you blaming me now. But I was afraid of being scolded again, so I had to put on my usual smile and grin at the corner of my mouth and said to Master, "I am a stupid disciple, and of course I can't compare with a shrewd Master." ”

The master frowned at the white shadows in the tomb that were only increasing, and his face was ugly to death, and he said to me, "Fat baby, they won't last long, we have to find a way to get out before the yellow charm on the mouth of the tomb disappears." ”

Every time the white shadow is eliminated, it has to consume a yellow talisman, and the yellow talisman on the wall is not even twenty, and it is estimated that the white shadow can attack the tomb where I am in a single sprint, and instantly turn us into frozen pork.

I knew that the situation was urgent, so I hurriedly turned around and walked to the end of the tomb, took off the peach wood card on my body, and tied it around Yue'er's neck. The two narrow passages in the east and west have been collected countless times by us in a carpet style. In this moment of crisis, when nothing has been discovered, and frustration wells up in my heart, I cannot help but feel disappointed that all our efforts have been in vain, and we must all die here this time, and I can't help but be deflated, and my shoulders have collapsed.

Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, hurried to the entrance of the tomb, and shouted to the fat man: "Fatty, go and look at the open coffin, and see what is in the coffin?" ”
