Chapter 16: The Black Candlestick
[Five turbidity troubled times, all sentient beings are turbidity people walking in the world, you raise the knife in your hand, and once again temper a poor sentient being's turbidity, your survival point +1 (green). γ
Li Daoxuan looked at the ghost slaves who didn't know how many of them were cut down by him, and let out a long sigh.
The intention of this ghost is already obvious, and after it knows that it can't pollute Li Daoxuan, it wants to use the turbidity of the dead people in this Puliu Town, and use the ghost sea tactics to drag Li Daoxuan to death.
Li Daoxuan rolled up the pig-killing knife in his hand and looked at it, and the blade was already a little curled.
In the end, too many bones were chopped...... It seems that next time you can't blindly cut off your head, and if you can, you won't chop the bones.
He turned around and left the alley, once the ghost avoided people, it would be difficult to meet, not to mention that this ghost was still an invisible sight.
It is a way to use knowledge, but Li Daoxuan will not use it unless he is forced to do so.
Walk through two more alleys.
"Poofβ"
What is this sound?
Li Daoxuan stopped and looked at the alley where the sound came from, and he remembered that the alley was the home of the dead blacksmith Liu.
Could it be that there is anything else strange in his house?
It's impossible, since Li Peishan's old thing chose to do something to Liu Kai, he will definitely clean up his house, how can there be anything left.
Just as Li Daoxuan wanted to leave, the voice came out again.
In this quiet Puliu Town, it is particularly clear.
Since it was certain that there was something, Li Daoxuan did not hesitate and walked straight into this alley.
There was a surprising silence, and he didn't even see the ghost slave, he tightened the pig-killing knife, pressed down his heart that wanted to use [Zhiqi], and slowly walked forward.
All the way to the door of Blacksmith Liu's house without incident, he was also sure that the sound did come from here, and along the way, only his house was open.
Could it be that the ghost of Rice is here?
Li Daoxuan's heart suddenly tugged, and he wiped the blood on his eyes again, and then pushed the door and walked in, the courtyard was empty, he had to continue to move forward, [Selling Oil] There are still two chances left, even if he asks Mi Ghost is really here, he will not lose the opportunity to resist in the first place.
"Crunchβ"
Li Daoxuan pushed open the door of the house, it was pitch black inside, and nothing strange happened, but he could only vaguely see that things were scattered all over the place, as if they had been looted countless times.
But at this moment.
"Boom-"
The staircase sounded, it was the sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase, someone coming down from the stairs...... No, it's a ghost!
Where did this time come from?
Li Daoxuan hurriedly looked at the stairs.
"Boom-"
Footsteps were not hurried, and he saw a pair of feet, wearing boots...... Li Daoxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Because he recognized these boots, in this Liu Blacksmith's house, it was the eighth-rate grain eater from Hand Witch City.
Sure enough, with the figure going downstairs, it was Zheng Yuan.
It's just that his current situation is very strange, he is holding only a third of the red candle in one hand, carefully guarding, as if to dispel pollution.
But the red candle is clearly extinguished!
"Obviously, after separating from me, he also encountered ghosts, and even lit the red candle, otherwise it would be impossible for the candle that was still half of the candle to burn so quickly."
"But how did you extinguish this red candle...... And he couldn't even notice it when I stood in front of him, and even thought that the red candle was lit, and he was obviously polluted. β
Unlike Huang Shiyuan, this eighth-rate grain eater must be able to help, and he is from Hand Witch City, maybe there are other means...... For example, this red candle is very useful.
Li Daoxuan took out the fire fold from his arms and lit the candle for him.
As the first rays of light appeared, Zheng Yuan also stopped, and his dull eyes gradually regained their vitality.
He also saw Li Daoxuan standing in front of him.
"Your candle was actually extinguished."
Li Daoxuan put away the fire fold.
Zheng Yuan has experienced a lot of things in the end, he said in a deep voice: "After separating from you before, I met the ghost of asking rice, it wanted to kill me, I couldn't resist its pollution and could only light a candle and leave, and then passed through an alley...... I don't know how the candle went out. β
"Is it possible that a ghost?"
"Impossible."
Zheng Yuan shook his head and said firmly: "Some ghosts are indeed not afraid of this candle, but this ghost is afraid." β
When Zheng Yuan spoke, he had already put Li Daoxuan on an equal footing.
Even if he didn't have a red candle, he couldn't resist the pollution of this evil, but Li Daoxuan obviously resisted, otherwise it would be impossible to come here and wake him up.
Plus he is even expected to have qi magic...... Zheng Yuan had to take it seriously, thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Do you have a way to deal with this ghost who asks rice?" The main thing is not to be confused by him. β
The burning rate of the red candle is normal, indicating that the ghost is not nearby.
Li Daoxuan nodded, "You can try, but I just can't find it, I see that I want to avoid us, it's too difficult to find." β
Hearing this, Zheng Yuan hesitated slightly, but still said, "If you are sure that you can deal with it, I have a way to attract it." β
"What's the solution?"
Zheng Yuan took out the same candle from his arms again, but compared to the red candle, this candle was white.
He held it in his hand as if he were holding a piece of white bone.
[The living burns corpse oil to make candles, this is a "yin candle" made of corpse oil, it is an evil dirty art in the world, it seems that the person in front of you has indeed met a fallen ghost pretender, they are depraved people who walk in the world, and they only worship the art of the pretending master all their lives, and your survival point is +3 (green). γ
"This red candle keeps ghosts from approaching, but this white candle attracts ghosts."
Zheng Yuan took the initiative to explain: "Once lit, the ghost will definitely be attracted to it, but those ghost slaves all over the town will also come." β
Both of them are now grasshoppers on a rope, and if Li Daoxuan wants to get out alive, he can only cooperate with Zheng Yuan, he said bluntly: "I can resist the pollution of the ghost of Qianmi, but if there are too many ghost slaves." β
"Ghost slave, I'll solve it...... The eighth-rate [bather] has a wide range of attack techniques. β
"Good!"
Neither of them was a person who hesitated, and after discussing it, they came out of the narrow alley and came to a spacious street.
"When the white candle is lit, the red candle must be extinguished."
"If it's the ghost slave who comes first, that's fine, but if it's the ghost who comes first, then take me and run."
Don't worry, if you come first to ask the rice ghost, you can also come to your senses...... Li Daoxuan said "um", and didn't tell him directly, his blood can resist pollution, and it is better not to expose it if it is not exposed.
Zheng Yuan blew out the red candle, and the dark night that had been dispersed was now surging like a tide, engulfing the two of them in an instant.
Then he lit a white candlestick.
The blue flame rose in the dark night, not dispelling the darkness, on the contrary, it seemed to make the darkness thicker.
"Click-"
The sound of feet stepping on the bluestone slab resounded in this town.
The candle rises, and the ghost comes to the door.
