Chapter 21: Entering the Ghost Cottage

The Yin Spirits and poisonous insects no longer dared to come near me, and the formation in the pine forest had long since been broken, and it didn't take me long to cross the pine forest to the bottom of the cliff. The cliff slopes more than 80 degrees, and after manual excavation, there is an irregular small stone staircase, if someone throws a stone down from above, the consequences are not very unimaginable.

The grimace woman probably didn't expect me to come in, it should be safe to go up at the moment, and after a long time, the evil spirits inside might notify her to stop it, so I immediately Xiangshang climbed.

It's actually not fast to say "fast", this place is too difficult to walk, and I have a serious imbalance of yin and yang in my body, I am top-heavy, more uncomfortable than a high fever, my whole body is wrong, it would be good not to fall.

At the end of the stairway there is a small platform with a recess, where someone may have stood and attacked the intruder with rolling stone sasswood, but now there is nothing. There is a wooden plank road next to the platform, which is more than ten meters long against the stone wall, and there are bends, although it is not as thrilling as the long sky plank road of Huashan, but it is also very scary. The boardwalk is obviously decaying, but the giant monster can walk through it, and I can definitely walk through it, as long as I don't fall.

I took a deep breath, made up my mind, and walked over step by step by holding on to the stone wall, at the end of which was a narrow road inward, the stone walls on both sides were as neat as a knife, the width was only more than one meter, and the length was twenty or thirty meters, the height was difficult to estimate, and I could only see a line of sky when I looked up. This place is still very dangerous, if someone stands in front and shoots or shoots arrows, there is nowhere to dodge, I dare not stop, I run forward as fast as I can.

After a line of sky, the eyes became much wider, this is a valley with cliffs on both sides upside down, in the shape of "eight" cross-section, the wide place is more than 50 meters, the narrow place is only more than ten meters, the depth does not know how much. In the middle of the valley there is some flat land, which may have been farmland or vegetable fields in the past, but now it is barren grass that is half a man high, and some wooden houses made of logs can be seen on both sides of the stone walls, which are still standing despite years of wind, frost, snow and rain.

This is a fierce ghost cottage that makes people talk about "ghosts"? No outsiders have come in for decades or even nearly a hundred years, but if I came in, if Master knew about it, he would be proud of me, right?

I could sense that Qingqiu Ningxue was very nervous, which was an unprecedented phenomenon, and it could be seen that it was not lying, it was really afraid of some powerful evil spirit in it. But it was a little angry, I didn't listen to its advice, and I didn't talk to me, but I could still understand its mood.

I can't even hear the sound of insects here, and the extreme silence makes me very nervous, and I have long been mentally prepared for all kinds of terrible ghosts at any time, but until now I have not seen any ghosts, nor have I seen any living creatures, only a yin qi that is as thick as a substance, which makes people feel like drowning.

This is too abnormal, even if there are no other ghosts in this, Zhi Shao also has a terrible evil spirit, and he has a big opinion of me, weishenme is not angry now? It's impossible for it to ignore me completely just because I'm in control of the Array, it's a bit unconscionable.

The excessive calm made me suspicious, my spirit was highly nervous, and I didn't dare to move forward easily, but standing here is not a solution, I must find Lao Lin and Wu Zhangya as soon as possible and take them away.

There was a stone-paved path underfoot, almost completely submerged in the grass, leaving a rather smooth trail in the center, and some footprints were faintly visible, and it was evident that the ghost-faced woman and the big monster often walked through it.

After a few steps forward, I saw a large number of skeletons in the grass on the side of the road, and I don't know if it was the aborigines of this place, or if the outsiders were killed here. If the ghost-faced woman is the owner here, she shouldn't let herself be exposed to the wild, right?

After walking a few dozen meters forward, a large stone and several trees appeared in the middle of the valley, and there was a spring next to the big stone, which was made into a small pond with stone slabs, and the water was clear and cold, and it flowed out in a loud voice. It was the first thing I came across since I came in, with a clear sense of life, an abundance of water's spiritual power.

There must be islands in the sea, and this small area near the spring is equivalent to an isolated island in the vast ocean, which has not been eroded by the yin and evil qi, and the specific reason for the formation may be that the spring has a strong spiritual power and vitality from the depths of the earth, and washes away the rotten and evil qi. If there is no way back, I can take shelter near the spring for a while, so I took a closer look at the surrounding terrain. This look made my heart move again, I can arrange a simple formation here to trap the big monster and the ghost-faced woman.

In ancient times, there were many earth-shattering arrays, and they could even kill immortals and saints, but until now, there is only a little fur left. In addition to some inherent formations, sometimes the existing terrain can be used to arrange them to form a simple formation effect and suppress people who do not understand formations at all.

In order to form a formation effect, it is necessary to "have all five elements", and the five elements are not to say that gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are needed, in many cases, the earth under your feet is soil, and the earth attribute spiritual objects can not be used. When the formation is arranged, it is not the balance of the five elements, and if the five elements are completely balanced, there will be no damage to the fruit, and there must be an attribute that is seriously weak, and the aura shock due to the imbalance can cause damage to the enemy, which is the driving force of the formation.

The formation has momentum, and then it is arranged according to the principles of gossip, nine palaces, and visual deception, and people who don't understand will hallucinate when they enter, lose their way, consume their spirits, and have problems such as yin and yang imbalance. This refers to the most basic simple small formation, if it is a little more advanced, it will be much more difficult to set up the formation, and the suppression effect of the creatures in the formation will be more powerful, and I don't have that ability at the moment.

What I want to arrange is the simplest small formation, the spring is water, the boulder is earth, the Shenmu seal is the heart of the camphor tree that has been struck by lightning, the attribute is fire, the peach wood sword is wood, the Kunpeng mirror is gold, the five elements are ready, as long as the distance and direction are measured, and these things are fixed in a specific position.

This principle is simple to say, but it is not easy to really do, first of all, we must take into account the existing terrain and objects, and then the spiritual power of the array props is different, and it must be adjusted, taking into account the balance (or imbalance) of the five elements and yin and yang, this kind of fine-tuning can only be sensed by the fluctuation of spiritual power, and it is not easy to grasp.

It's my first time in the field, so I have to observe and think about everything for a long time. At this time, there was a sound of "Woo Woo" in the direction of the valley, and the ground trembled slightly, it should be a big monster coming this way, I didn't have time to think about it, I quickly put the peach wood sword and the Shenmu seal away, and stood by the waterhole with the Kunpeng mirror in my hand.

Two figures, one tall and one short, ran towards me, but they didn't come to me. It seems that the grimace woman didn't know that I was in, she had lost the protective effect of Shaoyang Qi, and she might not be able to stay in the fog anymore, so she was ready to go outside.

I took a few steps forward and waved at her: "Hey! ”

The grimace woman didn't expect me to appear here, and she was taken aback and immediately ran towards me, and the big monster also strode forward. I turned and walked away, and as I ran past the waterhole, I threw the Kunpeng mirror into the waterhole, and kept getting closer to the boulder.

The five elements of gold gave birth to water, and as soon as the Kunpeng mirror fell, the spiritual power of the water spring was immediately stimulated and amplified, and the formation had the power to produce a chain reaction, and the effect was revealed. I stood there leaning against the boulder, but the grimace didn't see me running forward, circling in circles as fast as I could.

She ran two laps and suddenly stopped, a little confused, it was originally a place she was very familiar with, but suddenly felt strange, so she was suspicious. She thought I was hiding in the middle of the grass and looked for it in the grass, but in fact she had a visual error and kept running around the boulder.

After running for a while, the ghost-faced woman noticed the strangeness, stood by the boulder and tilted her head slightly to listen, and thought about how to get out of the predicament. Two minutes later, her eyes looked at the outlet of the waterhole - the small formation I had laid out was very simple, there were many flaws, and she could leave by following the small ditch.

I hid behind a tree three paces away from her, and when I looked at the direction of her vision, I knew that she had seen through it, so I didn't hesitate to strike, and like lightning, I grabbed her right wrist and twisted it backwards, and at the same time I stumbled under my feet, and my body pressed down, locking her to the ground.

The big monster had been following the grimacing woman not far behind, and when it spotted me, it immediately roared and rushed over, raising its huge palm.

I turned my head and yelled, "If you dare to move, I'll kill her!" ”

The ghost-faced woman "snorted" at the same time, and the big monster didn't know if he understood my words, or was commanded by the ghost-faced woman, and the big palm didn't shoot down. It didn't dare attack me, but it was furious, jumping and roaring, and breaking a tree the size of a sea bowl around it.

I clasped the grimacing woman tightly: "I have already said it, I have no malice, I just want to save my friend, if you are willing to let my friend out, I will never hurt you, but if you dare to do evil, I will break all the bones of your body!" ”

The grimace woman didn't squeak, she turned her head to stare at me, and there was a stubborn look in her eyes. I didn't dare to let go, now I'm in a bad state, I definitely can't beat her, but it's not a way to keep holding on like this.

I suddenly let go of a hand and clenched my fist into the temple of the grimace. The punch wasn't too heavy, but it was enough to stun her for a moment, and I quickly snapped her arms behind her back, ripping off the rags from her body and tying them up firmly. After tying up, I was still a little uneasy, so I tore off a large piece of cloth and tore it in half, pulled it tightly and twisted it together like a rope, and then tied her arms around so that her arms had no room to move, and it was even more difficult to tear off the strips of cloth on her hands.

After doing all this, I was almost out of breath, and now I have a serious imbalance of yin and yang in my body, just like a person who is seriously ill, and it is not easy to do anything. Only then did I notice that after the clothes on the arms of the grimace woman were ripped off, the skin exposed was very white, but it was also very thin, so thin that it was a little worrying. A large piece of the placket of her dress had also been ripped off, and when viewed from the side, a white cloth on her chest and a not-so-high bulge could be seen. The white cloth was clean, not as tattered as the clothes outside, and although the bulge was not high, it was genuine, which made my heart beat a little faster.

She looked younger than I expected.
