Chapter 178: The Inn Encounters a Ghost

If you look closely, you can also see that the fishing net is actually made of wire. I pushed the door twice, but I couldn't open it. Wuchen walked over and used the Zhan Lu sword to slash randomly, but he only cut a few holes in the "fishing net". The door still won't open.

This was not the end of the story, when suddenly a rocket burst through the window paper and hit the floor of the room.

"Get out of the way!" I shouted, and I fell to my stomach.

It turned out that I was making a fuss again, and there was no black powder in the rocket, just ordinary arrows wrapped in tarpaulin. The rocket that made me fuss was like a prelude, followed by a rain of arrows. It didn't take long for the whole house to catch fire, and the smoke choked my tears and snot. At that time, the houses were not cemented, except for a few stones, everything was wood, and even the mud on the walls was mixed with a lot of straw. So soon the fire spread to the point of uncontrollable.

"Brother Mu, what should we do?" Wuchen asked me as he used his Zhan Lu sword to block the flying arrows.

How do I know what to do, the fires in all directions, how many people are there in them, they can launch so many rockets in such a short time. For some reason, I was in a bit of a trance and started to have ringing in my ears, and the rockets outside couldn't attract my attention at all.

As soon as my eyes wandered, I happened to see the paper figure lying on the bed and sat up.

When I was a child, I saw the funeral procession, and I was very impressed by the paper people and paper horses carried in the procession. The pale face, coupled with the expressionless gaze, made me habitually afraid of this thing. Later, when my grandfather passed away, the family also bought paper people and paper horses to burn, and the paper-paste boys and girls were put in the yard, and I didn't dare to enter the house.

Now seeing a paper figure suddenly sit up, although he has been an adult for so many years, he still feels an inexplicable fear in his heart.

"Look, the paper man, sit up. "I didn't care about the rockets that were still flying into the house, so I quickly asked Wuchen to see the paper figure that had gotten out of bed.

Wuchen glanced at it, and threw the Zhan Lu sword over, which was piercing the paper man's chest. The sword only made the paper man pause for a moment, and then continued to walk towards the two of us.

Why didn't a rocket hit this paper man? I braved the rain of arrows to pull an arrow from the window and threw it at the paper man. I've shot arrows, but throwing this thing is fundamentally different from shooting, the rocket hits the paper figure and falls to the ground. I can't use my strength, and the rocket can't penetrate the paper man's body at all.

Wuchen also reacted when he saw my actions. Pick up a rocket that was blocked by yourself, pour internal energy into it, and throw it out. The rocket was no less than shooting out of a strong bow, piercing the paper man in half. I was relieved to see the paper figure on fire, so you don't have to scare people.

When I was a child, I saw paper people and paper horses burned to ashes in a pile of dark paper, and my mind would still haunt the distorted faces of paper figures.

However, this moving paper figure not only has a distorted face, but even screams. That's right, it's a scream, I don't know where it came from, the paper man's mouth is red, but there is no opening.

The paper man did not slowly turn to ashes as expected when he encountered the fire, but became a fire man. The one who opened his teeth and claws actually ran. What's going on, I'm completely panicked.

Wuchen didn't care, and when the paper man got closer, he reached out and pulled the Zhan Lu sword out of the fire. Then a roundhouse kick hits the paper man in the waist and knocks him against the door. Then he sent the Zhan Lu sword forward, and tied the paper figure with the door panel.

The door panel, which was already almost burned, was quickly burned into char along with the paper figures. Wuchen stepped forward and kicked the door smashed, and rushed out first.

"Brother Mu, come out quickly. Seeing that I didn't come out, Wuchen turned around and waved at me through the door frame.

I just woke up from my trance. Hurry up and pass through the burning door frame. Coincidentally, a rocket stabbed at me head-on. I subconsciously tilted my head, and the rocket grazed my neck. The sting of the fire made me cry out. It seems that I still smell the smell of raw meat burning.

"Dust-free, my arteries were cut. I put one hand around my injured neck and said to Wuchen, who rushed over.

I felt blood constantly coming out of my fingers, and it was so hot that I was afraid that the artery had been severed. Although I have a little medical knowledge, it is all up to my neck, and I don't know how to stop the bleeding, so I can only cover the wound with all my might.

"Brother Mu, calm down!" Wuchen came over and grabbed my shoulder and shook it vigorously a few times, then grabbed my left hand, trying to take my hand away from my neck.

Where can I let him do this, hiding while covering his hands more heavily. But in the end, Wuchen won. When my hand was removed, I realized that the wound on my neck was not serious, but just a vein that had been cut. I saw that the blood that came out was not bright red, so I was a little relieved.

By this time, there were no more rockets coming in, and the house was about to collapse. At night, such a sky-high fire soon attracted the soldiers of the Northern Army defending the city and the surrounding people. Someone has already started to dig well water to extinguish the fire. Wuchen tore off a piece of cloth from my clothes to help me tie the wound, and took out a talisman from the cloth bag and stuck it on my back.

It took me a minute before I calmed down and asked him, "What happened to me, how could I be so flustered?"

"It's because of your soul. Led by an evil spirit, he was restless. ”

"Evil spirit?"

"This place should not stay for a long time, maybe there is a situation in the inn. In case it is discovered by the officials, we may not be able to get out of it. ”

Along the way, we didn't care about the discussion, flew high and low, and it took twenty minutes to reach the outside of the inn. At this time, when I turned around, I could still see the red light reflecting the sky in the northeast, and the flames could not be seen.

"Brother Mu, look at the white lantern at the door!" Wuchen grabbed me and pointed to the lantern hanging at the door to remind me.

If you don't look carefully, you should still think that the inn is hanging outside to guide the way. But if you stare at it for a while, you feel very uncomfortable.

"Why does this lantern look so awkward?"

"This is called the Soul Attracting Lamp," Wuchen whispered to me, "Originally, we Taoists gave them a guide to the path of rebirth when they were over-retired. And here, it becomes a bait lamp to seduce the soul. If you add the Dao method to it, whether it is a lonely soul or a ghost or a soul on your body, you will be attracted by this soul-attracting lamp. ”

"Don't scare me, this thing is as mysterious as you say? Isn't that the same as your Conjuring Ding? I don't think this lantern looks like a treasure. ”

"Of course, this soul-attracting lamp can't be compared to the Soul Summoning Ding, it can only attract the souls it encounters. When the ghost sees it, it will come up to it, and if it can't see it, it will have no effect. ”

"Should this be called 'moths to the fire'?" I said, looking at it, I felt a strong sense of repulsion. It turned out that my soul was resisting the temptation of this lamp, "Then what is the purpose of the soul attraction lamp here?"

"I don't know that either. Let's put out the lantern first. As he spoke, Wuchen stepped forward, and with a shake of the dragon sword in his hand, he cut off the lantern rope.

The lantern that fell to the ground, and the white shell outside quickly burned. The flame was dark blue, like phosphorus fire. Phosphorus fire is commonly known as ghost fire, which is generally a flame produced by the burning of phosphorus in the bones of the decaying corpse.

We walked around the "ghost fire" and knocked on the door of the inn. There was a glimmer of candlelight through the crack in the door, and there were people in the lobby of the inn. I only knocked on the door twice, and I saw Dustless lying on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" I quickly helped him up, and I felt that this guy was lying on his stomach like a puddle of mud.

"Mi Xiang ......" Wuchen only had the muscles on his face to say these two words, and after speaking, his head fell into my arms.

There must be a problem with the lantern burning on the ground. I was just about to kick the little "ghost fire" that was left away, but the door of the inn opened. I saw the little second brother smile weirdly at me, and a hand reached out and took my eyes. The two dragons and pearls between the lightning and flint were dodged by my soul with my head.

My soul finally normalized, and I went up and grabbed Xiao Er's neck with both hands and twisted it, and twisted my head half a circle. But Xiao Erwu didn't fall down, and wanted to attack me again, but his head couldn't see me, so he could only wave his two hands there. I was holding the Zhan Lu sword in my hand, and at this time, I didn't care about whether it was bloody or not, and I cut off Xiao Er's head with a sword.

There is only one "person" in the lobby, and I can't always hold on to Wuchen, so I have to go upstairs to see how they are. By the way, why does that incense only work on Wuchen, but it has no effect on me? I shouldn't have a hundred poisons, I thought I was not afraid of poison, it was because of the misunderstanding caused by taking Fang Tong's antidote in advance. Is it because Wuchen is a normal person?

"Mu Wu save me!" I heard Zhang Lele's voice coming from upstairs.
