Chapter 18: The Land of the White Tiger

Very close to the east of this road, there is a rather large factory yard, which is dark and has no lights. By the courtyard wall of the factory, there was a path to the east.

Putting the four knives into my bag, Bao Chenxing carried it, I carried the sack, and the other hand pulled Chenxing, and the two of them walked on that road. My calculations just now show that the location where the evil qi is heaviest is about two miles away from the road just now. If you walk, it's not a close journey.

It's past nine o'clock, and we have less than two hours to go. Therefore, it was very fast all the way, and no one had time to speak. As I walked, I silently calculated the distance in my heart. Morningstar is in good physical condition, but after all, she is a girl, and when she walked in such a hurry, she was slightly panting when she walked for nearly a mile, but she refused to give me the bag in her hand.

The road in front of me became narrower and narrower, and after walking for a while, the road turned south with a turn. I stopped and looked east, it was full of vegetable sheds, and it was a vegetable base. In terms of distance, it should be almost there. I put the bag on the ground, spotted a tree on the side of the road, jumped sharply, grabbed the branch, and climbed up.

After climbing for a while, I stopped and looked east... On a rainy night, it was pitch black, and the vegetable sheds were parallel to the fields, stretching far away, like white tunnels. The rain hit it, and the sound was very dense, like fried beans. Looking over, I saw that in the distance to the east, there was an empty field, and at the edge of the empty field stood a mound, and because it was too dark, I couldn't see what the empty field was doing...

I clenched my fists and said to myself, maybe that's it...

"Star, go..."

Jumping from the tree, Morningstar and I walked around the vegetable sheds for a short time, and a wasteland appeared in front of us. Weeds, gravel, and small trees that grow crookedly... The scene in front of me made my heart tense inexplicably, and when I looked at the time, it was half past nine. Wading through wet weeds and stepping on gravel pieces, we came to the mound.

The mound is about two stories high, about seven or eight meters long in a north-south direction, like a ruined city wall. Although the wind and rain have eroded and weeds are everywhere, we can still see that the mound wall on our side should have been very smooth before. Apparently, the mound was repaired by hand. Approaching the wall of the mound and taking a closer look with my mobile phone, I saw that this section, which is about one meter high above the ground, has many small round holes, the shape is very regular, and it looks deep...

I frowned, my whole heart lifted, and I quickly took the compass out of my bag and measured it, and the magnetic needle shook around.

"What's wrong, A-Leng?" Morningstar asked in a low voice, his voice shaky slightly.

I straightened up and looked around, "If I'm right..."

"What?"

"This was supposed to be an execution ground before..."

"You meanβ€”" Morningstar seemed taken aback by my words, "this was the place where people were shot before?" ”

"Hmm...," I nodded, "Death, Wounds, and the White Tiger... Apparently this is it. ”

"Is it just here?" Morningstar asked.

"That's right." I said in a deep voice.

It is said that the prisoners who were shot could not be reincarnated, and suffered in the underworld every day. In addition, the way they enter the underworld is different from the way other dead souls enter the underworld, not through the dungeon, but through bullet holes. When a prisoner is usually shot, the prisoner is made to kneel on the ground, lower his head and open his mouth, and a shot enters the back of the head, and the bullet jumps out of his mouth and burrows into the soil. At the same time, the soul of the prisoner, due to the fierce rush of the bullets, was also taken out in an instant and smashed into the earth...

Therefore, in normal times, the soul of a prisoner who has been shot does not run very far, just at the bottom of the execution ground. According to the laws of nature, one thing overcomes one thing, in order to prevent these dead ghosts from running out and causing chaos, the execution ground generally has a strong evil spirit, suppressing them... If one day in the future, someone bulldoze this place and build a house, and the people who live here will often have nightmares at first, and then all kinds of life and career will not go well, or physical diseases will appear, it will be affected by the evil spirit of the execution ground...

"Star, you stand on it." I pointed to the top of the mound, "Wait, whatever you see, or what happens, don't come down, do you hear?" ”

"But..."

I stroked Morning Star's wet bangs with my hand and smiled, "Don't worry about me, it's okay..."

In fact, I was very uncertain in my heart, I thought before, the land of the white tiger, no matter what the place is, there will definitely be danger, so let the morning star go back first... Now that I come and see, it's actually an execution ground, and what will happen when I cast a spell on this execution ground, the ghost knows... Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps on my back...

After Morningstar climbed the mound, I bit my lip and calmed down a little, and 'clucked' my fist. I lifted the sack and placed it in the middle of the wasteland. I carefully took out the burnt paper ashes that I had collected in the temple and put them gently into my bag. The rain dripped into my neck, and it felt like a cool line was running down my back. I stood up, shivered twice, and took out the four knives from my bag, as well as the four White Tiger Runes, each of which inserted a talisman and nailed them to the four corners of this wasteland...

At this point in time, the white tiger fell here, and the next thing I want to do is to invite the fierce god of the white tiger out with the help of the evil spirit here, and rely on the evil god to resolve the bad luck of Old Man Yang...

This time, I want to invite a yang god like Tianyi Shenjun, but a god of yin and evil. I've never asked for anything like this, but I don't know what it's like, or what will happen when I do...

At this juncture, I can't help but think about it. I pulled out the seven-star sword and inserted a white tiger rune into the tip of the sword... (The so-called White Tiger Rune is one of the Eight Divine Runes of Faqimen, a kind of paper rune, which is used when the Eight Divine Formations of Liuyi are clothed.) I don't know if you still remember, in the second volume, I used the 'Teng Snake Talisman' once in the city hospital, and it is also one of the eight god runes)

I looked up at the top of the mound, and the Morning Star was crouched motionless on the very edge.

"Don't come down."

"Hmm..."

I took a breath and didn't think about anything else, the seven-star sword slowly swung twice, pinched a trick and pointed to the ground, and slowly took the first step... After three times, the wind rose, and the grass and trees were blowing, and I shouted, holding the hilt of the seven-star sword with both hands, and struggling to the ground...

This time it was so ruthless, if it weren't for the good wood of this sword, it was estimated that it might have been inserted. With this insertion, the night sky did not know which direction, and there was a 'boom' thunder. Then I felt as if something had changed in the wasteland around me... I didn't bother to look at it, my hands clutched the hilt of the Seven Star Sword, my eyes staring at it...

Suddenly, I felt a strange vibration in this sword, the amplitude was small, but it was very dense, and in the palm of my hand, it was like there were countless small insects crawling around... Is this the White Tiger God coming out? … I tried to pull the seven-star sword up, and as soon as I was lucky, the seven-star sword bounced out of the soil on its own. I was so startled that I almost didn't hold it, causing the Seven Star Sword to fly out of my hand...

Looking down at the ground, I saw the white tiger rune that was originally inserted in the tip of the sword, slowly, little by little, rising from the ground, as if there was a person under the ground, blowing on this talisman with his mouth, blowing it up... I suddenly felt an indescribable, inexplicable fear in my heart, and instinctively got up and stood up, took two steps back, and stared at the rune paper floating in the darkness...

When I looked up, I was stunned by what I saw... I saw that I was standing on top of a giant face, yes, a giant face, a giant face in the grass of this wasteland! … This face looms, because it is too big, and it is dark, I can't tell the whole picture of this face at all, and I vaguely feel that it looks like the face of some kind of beast... And the position of the white tiger talisman in front of me is the mouth of this face, I can see that the 'mouth' is moving, one by one, with the mouth opening and closing, the talisman rises little by little... Is this the White Tiger God? It may be that its 'face' should be formed by the condensation of the evil qi of this wasteland, and the location of this 'mouth' is the 'evil eye'...

I quickly grabbed the sack and pressed it down against the floating talisman until it hit the ground... I pressed the bag with my hand, and I felt a force fighting against my pressure, and I kept pressing for about five or six minutes, and the force finally disappeared. I cautiously stood up, looked left and right, and the strange face was gone. All of a sudden, I had the feeling that I had just woken up from a dream, I couldn't tell where I was, my body was out of strength, my legs were weak, and I sat down on the ground...

Was this a success? The robbery was melted away by the White Tiger Evil God? … I'm not completely sure, I'll have to go back and give the old man a divination. The morning star was still on it, and she must have seen the 'face' just now. She's taller than I am, so she might be able to see the whole face and describe it to me... Thinking of this, my heart suddenly 'clicked'... Strange face, high position in the body... I thought of what I saw on the chimney of the brick kiln factory, the strange face in the grass below... If the face that came out of the White Tiger God when I cast a spell just now is the White Tiger God, then what is the 'face' I saw in the brick kiln factory...

Let's go back first, whether the robbery is gone or not, I've done my best anyway. As for the matter of that 'face', I will study it when the time comes, and if it doesn't work, I will go to the brick kiln factory again.

Thinking so, I struggled to my feet. The rain had almost stopped, and there was moisture everywhere. I turned around and was about to call Morning Star down to walk, when I suddenly saw a row of dark shadows crouching at the bottom of the mound...
