Chapter 25: The Curse of Exorcism
The gods have been communicated, and the three pillars of green incense have begun to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I took out another artifact from my bag, the Soul Drum.
As soon as the ritual weapon came out, the green smoke swirled in the direction of the tambourine, wrapping around the drum.
"Brother Li, what kind of rattle are you still playing there at this time?"
"If you really want to play, after this incident, I'll buy you a hundred and eighty rattles, now help first!"
The fat man's face turned red, it seems that all fat people in the world are the same, and his endurance is not good.
Rattle? I'm not a rattle.
There are three ritual artifacts that my grandfather left me, and he explained their importance.
One is to drive away the corpse whip, and the evil spirits in the soul town of the corpse whip must not be disturbed.
The second is the soul drum, and the soul is feared by ghosts and gods.
The third is the ever-bright lamp, which guides the way forward.
At this time, the green smoke has entered the drum, the drum has two horns, and the red eyes appear.
This shows that the power of the gods I have summoned is in the drum.
I didn't have time to fight with the fat man, and the drum shook with a swing of my wrist.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
Every drum beat was like hitting the heart, shaking the heart.
In the midst of this dull drum beat, even the fat man was stunned in place, not knowing whether he couldn't or didn't dare, or forgot to move.
And the mountain spirits are like the shells of lost souls, standing in place as if they were frozen.
But with my ability, deterring these mountain spirits is already the limit, and Zhao Ertian can continue to move.
"Don't be stunned, hold him down!" I quickly shouted.
The three of them reacted immediately, and rushed over in a swarm, you hug your legs, I hugged your hands, he hugged his neck, and pressed Zhao Ertian to the ground with all his hands and feet.
Zhao Ertian suddenly struggled violently.
The fat man blushed, snatched the black donkey's hooves from Li Si's hand and stuffed them into Zhao Ertian's mouth, eager to stab him in the throat.
I also rushed over with an arrow, took out the talisman seal again, and pasted it on Zhao Ertian's heavenly spirit with lightning speed.
Fu sealed the heavenly spirit, and Zhao Ertian's three corpse gods returned to their bodies again.
I took advantage of the situation and took out the soul bells in my arms, and the crisp sound of the bell echoed between the valleys.
The dark clouds hanging overhead gradually dissipated, and even the wind above the forest sky stopped howling at this time.
The surrounding mountain spirits fell to the ground like mud.
"Whew, is it over?"
The three of them let go of their hands and lay on the ground panting for breath.
I wanted to stand on my back for a while, but I stumbled and fell to the ground.
He shifted and crawled to their side.
I turned my face around with difficulty, made sure I hadn't slipped through the net, and then continued to lie down.
I don't know how long I've been lying down, but the pain in my body isn't as obvious as it was just now.
The moment I sat up, the three of them sat up in tacit agreement.
"Brother, shall we continue on our way?"
There is a strange thing everywhere in this mountain, and if you stay here for a while, there will be a little more risk.
And there is such a time bomb as Zhao Ertian by his side.
Not to mention them, even I want to hurry to Huaiyizhuang and get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.
"Then let's go, go to Huaiyizhuang early."
Standing up, I patted the dust off my body.
Although I still have some back pain, I feel a sense of relief in my heart, which allows me to continue to take steps.
When the fat man heard that he was leaving, he was probably relieved, no one wanted to stay in this ghost place.
Looking left and right, the fat man ran briskly towards his sapper shovel.
"......" scolded angrily, and the fat man stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Brother Li, come and see, what is this?"
At this time, we are all like frightened birds, and a little movement can make us extremely vigilant.
Trembling, I quickly got up and looked over to the fat man.
When I saw that he was pointing at a dead mountain spirit, I ran over quickly.
This dead mountain spirit has been disemboweled by Zhao Ertian, and it was this mountain spirit that tripped the fat man.
"It's kind of disgusting, but what do you look at it?" I asked.
The fat man pointed to the mountain spirit's belly, which had become a puddle of rotten meat.
"Brother Li, take a closer look."
If you look closely, there seems to be something in the belly of this mountain spirit.
I didn't care about the nausea, so I reached out and slowly peeled off the mountain spirit's internal organs.
Spell? How could there be a spell in the stomach of this mountain spirit?
Buzzed, and my mind went blank for a moment.
"Look, there's one over there!"
Li Si said and opened the stomach of another mountain spirit.
The fat man and the two hurriedly got up to check on the other mountain spirits.
The stomachs of seven or eight corpses were ripped open one after another, and without exception, all of them had the same thing.
Looking at the familiar silhouettes and colors, I had a positive answer.
The body of every mountain spirit here is full of such yellow paper charms.
And the reason why these mountain spirits were so abnormal before should be that these spells in their bodies are working.
At this moment, the fat man seemed to have discovered something again.
"You see, there are a lot of mountain spirits around that have only bones left."
"It's all rotten so badly, it's like pouring sulfuric acid!"
Hearing the fat man's words, I looked at it dumbfounded.
At least half of the corpses of the mountain spirits were only bones, and their flesh had rotted into mud.
It's highly corrupt, not like it just fell here.
It's like he's been dead for a long time, dug out of the ground.
But how could the corpse decompose so quickly, and how long has it been?
It is absolutely impossible for such a short period of time to corrupt like this, and the only thing that can explain it is that these mountain spirits have been dead for a long time.
Could it be that it was the mountain spirit that had been dead for a long time that had just attacked us?
Thinking back to the bloodthirsty appearance of those mountain spirits just now, I couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Everything is beyond my comprehension, and everywhere reveals the impossible.
There is also a possibility everywhere, that is, artificial.
If it's man-made, what kind of people are controlling these mountain spirits to attack us?
Seeing that my eyes were solemn, the fat man picked up a talisman and handed it to me.
"Brother Li, do you know each other?"
I looked at the fat man's hand, which was the talisman he had pulled out of the mountain spirit's stomach.
He took the seal and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
I was thinking about a possibility, but I kept reminding myself that it wasn't likely.
Holding my breath, I slowly opened the folded talisman.
"This, this, how is this possible?"
I looked at the talisman in my hand, and my mind went blank at first.
Then only three words filled my mind, and that was impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Brother Li, don't scare us! This, what the hell is this? ”
The fat man tugged at my arm and calmed me down.
The sigil was infested with blood, but the outline was still clear.
Looking at this incomparably familiar pattern spell, I shuddered three words.
"Curse of the Dead"
