Chapter 7 Chapter 7 The Taoist Priest
I was shocked, the last time I met a ghost in the middle of the night, it really left some psychological shadows on me. I quickly turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind me, and the chill disappeared.
Is it a delusion? Is my nerves too sensitive? I subconsciously touched my chest through my clothes, the brocade bag was well placed there, and with the talisman beside me, it stands to reason that I shouldn't be so easy to attract ghosts.
I turned around again, trying to leave, but this time everything was fine.
I rubbed my temples, there have been so many things going on in the past few days, maybe I'm having a nervous breakdown, right?
But as I walked, I noticed that something was wrong.
Every step I take, the sound of footsteps rings in my ears twice!
These two footsteps almost overlapped, and it was difficult to distinguish if I didn't listen carefully, that is, I was always vigilant in my heart, and I was sensitive enough to the outside environment to find out.
And the street was so quiet that it was just nightfall, and the lights were still on in most of the villages, but I could not hear anything but footsteps, not even the insects and birds that should be in the village.
No matter how fast or slow I changed my pace, the extra footsteps always kept the same rhythm as me, which was very weird.
I unconsciously quickened my pace, trying to get out of here and go to a crowded place.
I didn't even dare to look back, but I still had an indescribable feeling as if something was chasing me from behind me.
As I walked, the chill suddenly hit me again, and my limbs suddenly stiffened, and I almost tripped and fell to the ground. And this time the chill didn't last for a moment like last time, but it continued to erode my body, making me feel like I was falling into an ice cave.
Fortunately, at this moment, a warm current began to flow from my chest, making my whole body less stiff, and I knew that this was the Great Yang Gathering Talisman that was starting to work.
I took the opportunity to speed up again, and I didn't dare to stay in this place for a second.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, and I had only been running a few steps before I felt a cold breath climb up my legs from the bottom up on my trouser legs.
Even though the coolness seemed to be intangible, I could feel it tighten suddenly, trapping my legs like a rope.
Due to inertia, I fell forward and fell to the ground, as if I was about to fall apart.
I fell to the ground with my face down, unable to move, and I didn't even see what was striking me until now.
The chill that had clinged to my legs began to spread upwards again, gradually spreading all over my body, leaving only my chest.
It also seemed to be afraid of the talisman, and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
At the moment, fear has taken over my entire brain. My whole body began to get colder and colder, and my eyes were black for a while.
Am I going to die here?
"Dying on the first day out of the house is really enough to pull your crotch." At this moment, I somehow still have the heart to laugh at myself.
"Just a little ghost, dare to come out and harm people in public?"
It was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
"Am I alive?" It was the first thought that came to my mind when I regained consciousness.
"Hey, hey, I said buddy, don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up, I'm just here for me, there's no need." A somewhat familiar voice came.
This voice...... Isn't this the obscene Taoist priest who accosted me on the high-speed rail? How did he end up here? Was he the one who attacked me just now?
I felt a wake-up call in my mind, after all, this man had never made a good impression on me, and I had to be careful.
"I said that I just saved your life, why don't you understand any politeness?" The Taoist priest looked thin, but he grabbed my shoulder and lifted me up easily.
"What the hell do you want to do? I don't have much money on me, and I don't care if I have this rotten life left, just take what you want. I glared at him coldly.
He raised his eyebrows in surprise, put his arm around my somewhat vain body and said, "You don't think I did it to you just now, do you?" Master Dao, I have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, although I do whatever I want, but I have never done the thing of blocking the road, robbing and killing for money, who do you think of him? He seemed offended by my words, and looked a little angry at the end.
After speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, shook it in front of me, and explained: "What is in this bottle is the culprit who attacked you." Seeing that I was still suspicious, he quickly added: "It just so happens that I have something to ask about it, and you will know whether what I said is true or false when you listen to it for a while." ”
With that, he tore off the talisman attached to the mouth of the porcelain bottle, and a burst of black smoke suddenly gushed out, and the black smoke wanted to scatter and flee, but it seemed that there was an invisible barrier restraining it, so that he could not leave the porcelain bottle a foot away.
The obscene Taoist priest made a strange gesture in his hand, quickly muttered a few incantations in his mouth that I didn't understand, and with a push of his hand, the black smoke suddenly struggled to shrink into a ball, gradually condensing into a hideous-looking baby image.
Although I was already mentally prepared, I was still startled by the vision in front of me, and the methods of this Taoist priest also refreshed my understanding of him.
"Little thing, let me ask you, who ordered you to come out?" The obscene Taoist priest seemed to have seen it all right, and asked casually.
"What's that?" I couldn't help but ask.
"It's just a little trick on the side, if it weren't for the entrustment of others, I wouldn't bother to care about this little thing." The obscene Taoist priest pursed his lips with a look of disdain.
I knew that this guy was probably a braggart master, and I didn't bother to delve into how much water was in his words, so I asked, "So you say, what the hell is this?" ”
"I don't know who raised the little ghost, I'll interrogate it first, and I'll talk to you later." Seeing that the little ghost did not answer, the obscene Taoist priest suddenly felt that he had been provoked, and out of nowhere he found a strange-looking branch, and whipped it at the little ghost.
The branch was also miraculous, and with a whip, a burst of black mist suddenly rose from the little ghost's body, and he opened his mouth full of fangs and let out a scream, as if the branch was a red-hot iron rod to it.
"If you admit it honestly, you will suffer less flesh and skin, and I can recite sutras to overtake you. But if you don't cooperate, I will scatter your spirit and let you dissipate into the world, and you will not be able to be reborn. ”
The Taoist priest always looks giggling on weekdays, but now that he is serious, he seems a little less obscene, but there is a trace of fairy wind and bones.
The little imp squeaked for a while, and some stretched out his hand and pointed at his mouth, as if he wanted to express that he couldn't speak.
