Chapter 39: A Pair of Cloth Shoes
I know that the purpose of the Nine Princes giving me this candle will not be as simple as he said. However, I can't help but take the candle in the hand of the Nine Princes.
After I cultivated the Empty Gate Secret Book, I realized that even if a person opens his yin and yang eyes, he can't see all the demons and monsters.
The best thing for ghosts and gods is to deceive people's eyes, whether they can penetrate yin and yang at a glance depends on the level of personal cultivation.
When we went to the ghost market for the first time, Ye Sanqi could see the ghost market, but the reason why I could only see the bell tower was here.
I took the candle from the Nine Princes, hid the secret weapon and walked out of the medical hall.
At night, there is not even a trace of light, and the street is surprisingly quiet, walking alone, the footsteps can be heard clearly.
I had walked through the intersection when I heard a slight sound of footsteps behind me.
I took two quick steps, distanced myself from the other person, and then suddenly turned to look behind me, but all I saw was a pair of cloth shoes on the street.
The green bricks on the street showed a black and white color in the cold moonlight, adding a bit of weirdness to the pair of cloth shoes that appeared out of thin air, but were neatly arranged.
As soon as my eyes fell on the shoes, the cloth shoes disappeared out of thin air, and when I looked down again, the cloth shoes had already reached a position about half a foot from my toes.
Is this the ghost trying to put shoes on me?
I subconsciously wanted to retreat, but I didn't expect that my feet felt like they were being held down, and I couldn't move them.
In a hurry, I pulled out a thin knife in each hand, clamped it between my fingertips, and slashed it at my side.
I can't see whether there are ghosts or gods around me, and the position of the shot is also the estimated height. If someone had squatted down next to me and held my feet, my slash would have cut their throat.
But after I swept the knife out, not only did there be no reaction around me, but there was a touch on my heel that looked like someone had slashed it with a finger.
The other party wanted to take off my shoes and let me change into those strange cloth shoes.
I'm standing still now, sooner or later I'll have to be controlled by the other party, give up the shoes on my feet, and maybe there will be a glimmer of life.
The thought of escape flashed through my mind, and I suddenly exerted force with my feet, and with the force of the demon pressing on my shoes, I broke free of the cloth shoes on my feet, and flipped into the distance with my bare feet.
When my feet hit the ground, the soles of my feet pressed against the ground, and I continued to rub back, and I also picked up the candle that the Nine Princes gave me in my hand.
At this point, I didn't care how many times the candle could be used, so I took a match from my pocket and swiped it on my sleeve, and put the burning match in the center of the candle.
The moment the candle was lit, I also saw through the light of the fire, four figures that looked like grimace masks.
Two of them, holding the cloth shoes that had appeared on the street, walked up to me. The other two ghosts, hands and feet, walked around my sides on all fours, as if they were about to come and hold my feet again.
I pressed my feet to the ground and moved backwards step by step, my eyes scanning back and forth over the four ghosts.
The four ghosts were getting closer and closer to me, and I suddenly grabbed a handful of "ghost fire powder" and raised it towards the candle flame.
"Ghost fire powder" is not the same thing in Kongmen'er, but the usage is the same. When the disciples of the empty door want to burglarize, in order to lure away the guards, they will sprinkle a handful of "ghost fire powder" in a place that is not very conspicuous and can be seen, and after that thing lands, it will not take long to turn into a beating ghost fire, which naturally attracts the idea of the guards.
I directly threw the "ghost fire powder" on the candle, which was equivalent to igniting the powder on the spot, and a green flame suddenly erupted in front of me.
Taking advantage of the green firelight flashing in the air, I hurried to the courtyard wall by the roadside, and stepped on the wall twice in a row before turning over the wall.
The first thing I did when I landed was to light the candle, and the moment the candlelight came out of front of my eyes again, two grimaces appeared on the courtyard wall opposite me.
Those two faces were like things growing out of the wall, starting from the tip of the nose and slowly protruding outward, and the four ghost eyes that opened at the same time stared at my face from both sides, and they seemed to treat me as if I were in a bag.
I threw the candle into the air, and the sleeves of both hands shook at the same time, and the thorns of both hands slid from my cuffs to the palms, and after the blades in front of the stabs poked out from between my fingers, my hands were closed at the same time, and I clenched the handles, and my arms used force at the same time, and stabbed fiercely at the eyebrows of the two grimaces.
The sound of a hand stabbing into the wall and the terrible ghost crying, and at the same time, the fire of two figures was also reflected on the wall.
The Nine Princes didn't lie to me, the secret weapon he gave me can indeed kill ghosts and gods, and the two evil ghosts were just pierced by my hand and their whole bodies burst into flames, and they were replaced with ordinary weapons, and they couldn't hurt each other at all.
As soon as I struck a blow, I withdrew my thorn, raised my hand to catch the falling candle in the air, and stepped back again.
Of the four ghosts chasing me, two of them I don't know where, and I'll have to find another chance to kill the other two, and I'll just sit and wait for the other two to stay under the wall.
I had barely taken a few steps back when I heard someone shouting, "Who's outside?" ”
Broken!
I was discovered by the owner of the house.
Without the slightest hesitation, I took a few quick steps back.
My intention was to use the force of the forward rush to climb out of the courtyard and go out into the street to fight the ghosts.
Unexpectedly, I just stepped on a pair of cloth shoes after just two steps back.
My head buzzed: the two ghosts with shoes had already come in, and they were waiting for me behind my back.
I only felt a cold breath wrapping up from the sides of my feet, and I pulled out my spurs again, gritted my teeth and plunged into my own feet.
I was trying to survive, but I didn't dare to really pierce my instep. If I pierced the soles of my feet with a knife and didn't shake off the cloth shoes on my feet, what was waiting for me would be a dead end.
After the two thorns passed through my toes at the same time, the cloth shoe on my foot also burst into flames. The moment the red flames rushed to my trousers, I slashed the edge of my shoe several times in succession, and threw off the burning cloth shoe.
Here, before the flames on the cloth shoes were extinguished, I heard a scream behind me, and when I looked back, the man of the family had already put on the same pair of cloth shoes, and was rolling on the ground with his hands and legs, but his mouth could only make a gurgling sound, as if something had blocked his screams in his throat.
When I drew my dagger and rushed towards the other person, I first saw blood gushing from the outside of the man's shoe bar, and immediately saw the tongue that had been retracted in the man's mouth.
Did the man have his throat blocked by the retracted tongue so that he couldn't make a sound?
I've heard people say that when people are dying, their tongues retract.
