Chapter 015: The Shadow Walker

Seeing those Lifeeaters chasing after me again, my heart was pounding in fright, and I didn't think much about it, and I only had one thought in my heart, which was to run, run as hard as I could.

However, those Lifestealers are like a gust of wind, extremely fast, but I have never been good at running, and I have relied on the teacher's mercy to pass when I meet the sports standards in school, although there is a desire to survive at this time, but I can't do it, even the old man can't run, and soon the distance between me and those Lifestealers is getting closer and closer.

I gasped for air, slower and slower, and I could already feel the chill from the ghost claws behind me.

I'm going to die, and this time I'm really going to die.

I thought desperately in my heart, but I was still running unwillingly, and although I was not fast, I did not stop.

At this moment, the old man ran back again, grabbed me, and ran to a fork in the road in front of me, and he pushed me, and I fell to the ground at once, and rolled a few times to stabilize my body, and hurriedly got up with a wheez, and saw the old man standing at the fork in the road confronting the Lifestealers. A red wall of fire burned on the ground between him and the Lifestealers.

The Lifestealers were afraid of the red wall of fire, and though they didn't dare to approach it, they wouldn't leave.

The old man had words in his mouth, and as he took out a piece of yellow paper from his bosom, the kind of paper that the dead were burned at home.

I have seen it clearly, the yellow paper is only three fingers wide, the length of a palm, and there are some strange graphics drawn on it, much like the kind of Taoist priest drawn in Hong Kong films.

It is indeed a charm, although it is the first time I have seen it, but the knowledge I gained from Hong Kong-style ghost movies makes me no stranger to it. It's just that I always thought it was just a fictional movie, but I didn't expect it to actually happen to me. For this, I was surprised and curious. I couldn't help but stand up, wanting to see how the old man was fighting these terrible Lifestealers.

Although I was afraid of those Lifeeaters, I was relieved to see that they were stopped by the old man's burning flames with rune paper. I couldn't help but approach the old man curiously, wanting to see more clearly.

When the old man saw me approaching him, he glared at me fiercely, and kept reciting incantations in his mouth. I knew that he didn't want me to disturb him, so I stepped back and looked behind me, and behind me was a vast sea of fog, and the fork in the road we were on was hidden in the white mist, and looked like a tongue sticking out of the mouth of a monster. For this reason, I didn't dare to run for my life alone, so I could only stay by the old man's side and watch him confront the Lifestealer.

The Lifeeaters were getting more and more agitated, and I was terrified to see them rush at all costs. Moreover, beads of sweat the size of beans had already appeared on the old man's forehead, and every few moments he had to feel a talisman from his bosom. However, after I saw him touch it a few times, his hands began to tremble, and the further back he went, the more his hands trembled, and I couldn't help but think in my heart, "It's not like he's running out of talismans, is it?"

My guess turned out to be right, the old man looked at me with difficulty, and I expected that he would not hold on any longer, and I could not help but be afraid and anxious, and looked at him without blinking, for fear that he would suddenly fall down at once. Suddenly, I heard him say vaguely: "You run, my talisman is running out, and I can't support it anymore." ”

I was taken aback, but I couldn't make up my mind whether to really leave him and run for my life, but the vast white mist behind me was like a huge monster, so I didn't dare to enter easily.

The old man's trembling hand took the last talisman from his bosom, his face was pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down like raindrops, and his body was visibly trembling, but he was still desperately supporting, and he had no strength to pay attention to me.

At that moment, a Lifeeater suddenly shouted, "Let's go after those ghosts first, or they'll run away in a moment." ”

The Lifestealer took the lead and ran away, and the other Lifestealers glanced at each other, then at the old man and the wall of fire on the ground, and finally turned and ran.

In the blink of an eye, the Lifestealers were gone.

The old man fell to the ground with a fight, and the red wall of fire on the ground was extinguished.

I secretly screamed that it was dangerous, hurriedly grabbed him, and called out anxiously, "Old man, how are you?"

The old man, who was so weak that I lifted him up, was as soft as a noodle, and he gasped for breath, "Quick, help me away, in case they come back they will be in trouble." ”

I hurriedly helped him to retreat towards the white mist, with this old man here, I was not so afraid of this vast white mist, I guessed that he must not be an ordinary person, I couldn't help but ask: "Old man, are you alive or dead?"

The old man gasped for a moment, and then he got better, and said, "Of course I am alive. ”

Although I had long suspected that he was alive, I confirmed that he was indeed a living person, and the sense of steadfastness and excitement in my heart was indescribable, and I suddenly felt that there was hope and my strength increased.

The old man hurriedly said, "Quick, go as far as you can, and don't let those Lifeeaters catch up." ”

I hurriedly helped him to speed up his pace, and couldn't help but ask, "Old man, what is going on with those Lifestealers? Why are they so terrible? Even ghosts have to eat them!"

The old man said: "There are basically two kinds of ghosts that are rejected by the prefecture here, one is the incomplete soul, these ghosts are not dangerous, just like the ghosts we just met. The other is the resentment in the soul, after these ghosts are rejected by the underworld, they will be infiltrated by the white mist in this soul-moistening path for a long time, which will stimulate the resentment in their souls, and they will devour other ghosts and obtain soul power from other ghosts. The more soul power they acquire, the more powerful they will be, and in the end, this area will be their world. It would be terrible to let you wander into the yang realm. ”

Hearing the old man say this, I couldn't help but worry about the ghosts that had been with us just now, and that they would not escape the prey of those terrible life-eaters.

However, worry is worry, but I have not lost my mind, knowing that they are ghosts after all, they are different from us, they belong to two different worlds, and the most important thing now is how to return to the yang world.

For this reason, I hurriedly asked the old man, "Old man, why did you come here, and how should we go back?"

The old man said: "It's a long story, I don't have time to go into detail now, I can only tell you that I am a Yin Walker, and on the first day of the first month of every month, my soul will drift to this ghost gate." ”

I exclaimed, "What is a Yin Walker?"

The old man said: "A person who walks in the yin is a person who can freely shuttle between the two worlds of yin and yang, and there is a popular name among the people called 'Mr. Yin and Yang', which is the kind of person we are talking about." ”
