Chapter 42: The Faceless Ghost (9)
Although this array of spiritual pressure is surging, it is obviously lacking in strength, so it comes and goes quickly, and everyone feels a lot more relaxed just by making tea.
Yin Xiaoxian took the opportunity to drink three words of 'broken' in a row, and the candle flame soared in response, shining brightly, forcing the evil fog that invaded the entrance hall to open a few feet, and all the spirit officials relieved themselves and got up one after another.
Something happened suddenly, Lin Yi's head was already in a mess, and he was about to rush out when he pressed the handle of the knife. Seeing this, Yin Xiaoxian hurriedly slapped the ground with both palms, jumped up with a spinner, pulled out a thin thread from the cuff in the air, pulled it between his teeth, dyed red with blood on the tip of his tongue, and put a ring on Lin Yi's little finger at the moment he landed.
"This is the soul chasing line, as long as you don't leave the island, I can find you. Yin Xiaoxian patted him on the shoulder after speaking, "Go!"
"Thank you, Chief. Lin Yi pulled out a knife and ran out of the hall, and the red line between his fingers was like a trick that was getting longer and longer, and there was no end.
Several officers and soldiers sat paralyzed and frightened, and the black eagle was even more dying, and it took a long time to relieve his strength, and his bloody eyes were dim.
Xiang Zhicheng helped the village chief's wife and daughter, and Shao Yanling also stepped forward to help, and at the same time asked, "Senior Brother Ren, what should we do next?"
"This monster is strong and has a mysterious identity, and Senior Brother Yin is proficient in talismans and is the best at catching ghosts, and now we have to rely on him. β
Ren Dingbei acted roughly, and handed over the leading power to Yin Xiaoxian in two simple sentences.
When everyone heard this, their eyes looked at the latter.
Yin Xiaoxian saw that he pushed the burden over, and did it so simply, it was inevitable that he couldn't cry or laugh, coughed and said: "Brother Ren is too humble, since your trust is more important than mine, the trail cannot be shirked." β
After a slight pause, he sorted out his thoughts, and said: "The sky is cloudy and windy, the fog is hidden and the moon is bright, the demonic spirit is steep, people are losing their minds, and they are panicked like the underworld, I am afraid that this island is no longer in the world." β
The officers and soldiers exclaimed: "Where is that?"
Yin Xiaoxian took a deep breath and said heavily, "If I guessed correctly, this Qingbo Island has fallen into the netherworld. β
"Netherworld!" Shao Yanling blushed, turned his head to look around at everyone, took a step back, and said in shock: "Could it be that we are all dead?"
"No, we're still in the Yang World. Yin Xiaoxian said calmly, seeing that Shao Yanling was puzzled, and said: "The firelight can dispel the yin fog, and wherever there is a house, it can also rely on the yang energy of the living to build a barrier and turn into an enchantment to delay the erosion of the netherworld." β
Everyone was confused when they heard this, and Yin Xiaoxian continued: "Heavenly law is natural and all-encompassing. If we take time as a metaphor, we can divide it into three sectionsβpast, present, and future. β
The dim candle flame flickered slightly, and Yin Xiaoxian said straightforwardly: "From now to the future, it is called the Yang Realm, which is the abode of all the spirits in the world, and from the present to the past, it is called the underworld, in which there are decaying things, people who have passed away. The two live next to each other and never overlap. β
"Never overlap?" Xiang Zhicheng interjected, always feeling contrary to the truth.
Yin Xiaoxian smiled and said, "It should be like this, but it was broken by that group of demons and demons, disturbing yin and yang. β
"Disrupting the Yin and Yang ......" Shao Yanling squinted her eyes, carefully considered the meaning of her words, and after a while, she asked, "Brother Please, how did they do it?"
"Alas-" Yin Xiaoxian sighed faintly, raised his head and said, "It's very simple, cultivate with the life of all souls." β
Shao Yanling waited for a long time and didn't see the following, and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Master, please explain in detail." β
Yin Xiaoxian was silent, thinking: There are too many parties involved in this Central Committee, starting from the separation of ancient demons and demons, to the Emperor Lei Zu leading the tribe to overthrow the slavery...... If you have to talk in detail, you won't be able to finish it for three days and three nights, and you will even be in danger of revealing your identity.
After thinking about it, he concluded: "Demons improve their cultivation by killing people and refining their souls, and like Pixiu, they only swallow and do not vomit, causing the grievances to gather but not disperse, and in the long run, the yang world has also turned into the underworld. β
Shao Yanling opened her mouth to ask again, but Yin Xiaoxian directly interrupted: "It is rumored that the inhabitants of the underworld have no facial features, and their bodies are as transparent as shadows, how similar is this to the description of the faceless ghosts? β
Black Eagle cheered up and asked forcefully, "Isn't it dangerous for Lin Gongzi to break out rashly?"
Yin Xiaoxian comforted: "Don't worry, as long as there is this soul-chasing line connected, I can lure him back - but the poor Dao cultivation is limited, and I can't protect more people, so don't go out first." β
He moved a chair and sat down, facing the gate, and asked the Taoist boy to fetch a copper bell, staring at the thick fog outside, and said, "I will shake the bell every half a burnt of incense." If he doesn't see anyone after eight sounds, I'll take him back by force. β
After saying that, he shook his wrist......
"Jingle bell-" The crisp voice came from afar, Lin Yi had gone deep into the darkness, although he opened the eye of heaven, the demonic aura was too strong, completely covering Gu Wanxi's aura, and he could only blindly search around.
About half a mile ahead, a woman's call suddenly sounded at the corner of the house on the left: "Katsunan...... Dexi ...... It's getting dark, go home with my mother. β
Lin Yi frowned and stopped, and said in his heart: It's so late, why are there still people wandering outside?
As he was about to get closer, the woman shouted again, "Don't be afraid, my hard-working child, my mother has come to you, take you home......
The call whimpered, as if sobbing. Lin Yi couldn't bear to hear it, and ran to help, and asked her if she saw Gu Wanxi passing by.
The woman also seemed to hear the movement, and her voice changed sharply, screaming: "Dexi, is it you?!"
The two ran closer and closer, but Lin Yi was abrupt halfway, thinking: Shengnan, Dexi - where do I seem to have heard it?
Wait, it's the pair of children of Li Tiecha's family!
He stopped in surprise, and in a daze, the woman had limped in front of him.
Lin Yi hurriedly looked with his heavenly eyes, but saw that the woman was dressed in white, her facial features were blurred, and she couldn't distinguish her eyes and nose.
Could it be that the so-called faceless ghosts are the missing people in the village?
Lin Yi was stunned, the woman reached out and touched his chest, and screamed: "Child, my mother is so hard to find you!"
She kept groping, her ten fingers were as cold as water, and the chill penetrated Lin Yi's heart.
Then, the woman changed her attitude, opened her throat and shouted angrily: "My two children are not so tall, who are you...... Could it be that you kidnapped my child?"
The woman roared and raised her hand to pinch his throat, Lin Yi no longer looked at it, ran the Nine Palace Steps, sideways to dodge, and slashed from the top of her head with a backhand to her waist.
But where the long knife passes, it is like a quagmire, and it feels extremely viscous, and it is definitely not a fleshy body.
The woman's upper body should be divided into two, and the head should be pulled down to the shoulders, and then it will be snapped together like a magnet and turn back to its original state.
Lin Yi seemed to have expected it, and immediately drew his knife and retreated, pulling it three feet away, and with a wave of his right hand, he inserted Hanguang vertically, and the tip of the knife tapped the ground.
He shouted: "Thunder seed!"
A thunderbolt rose from the ground and lit up the whole street, and the strong wind blew his sleeves and hunted, and even his eyes flashed with a purple light.
Lin Yi slanted, the long knife in his hand swept towards the faceless ghost, instantly shattering her into pieces and scattering like flying ashes.
"Whew-" Lin Yi exhaled and retracted his strength, calmed down the thunder seed, and rushed into the fog with his legs.
The bell rang several times in the distance, and he had no time to care, and after carefully searching the fishing village, there was still no trace of Gu Wanxi. He also encountered a few faceless ghosts on the way, but he was eager to find people, and he didn't fall in love with each other, so he lurked around them all.
In the end, Lin Yi turned back to his place, and a familiar call came from ahead: "Shengnan...... Dexi ...... Where are you, go home with your mother. β
"Can't this thing be killed?" Lin Yida frowned, and his heart was extremely anxious: If it drags on any longer, Gu Wanxi will be more than lucky!
He gasped twice, and the eyes of heaven swept around, and the originally green blades of grass were all withered and decayed under the erosion of the yin wind, and withered all over the ground.
It seems that this strange fog has a lot to do with the aura of the underworld.
Lin Yi tried to calm his head, thinking back to what the aunt who was seriously injured in bed during the day said, it seemed that some evil was eyeing her, so he disturbed his mind and became like a walking corpse.
Lin Yi manipulated the eye of the sky, shone towards the top of the mountain, and said secretly: "There is the strongest demonic aura there, it seems that only by going up the mountain can we find out the truth." β
As soon as he ran out of the fishing village, a red moon appeared in the night sky, and a strange light pierced through the fog and fell on the cold hills.
"Can you see the moonlight, could it be that the fog has faded?" Lin Yi exclaimed, hurriedly turned around to look around, but found that the surrounding fog was still thick. Just as he was at a loss, the terrifying spiritual pressure from before swept over again, enveloping the Eight Desolations in an instant!
Lin Yi tried to resist, but the gap between the realms was too big, and his knees suddenly weakened, and he fell to his knees on one leg. He couldn't allow him to think, his hands were hurriedly clenched to the light, and he was able to support his body with the scabbard on the ground.
Time passed quietly, and in this trance, a group of unjust spirits gathered silently, passing by him one after another, as if they did not realize their existence.
Lin Yi slowly raised his head, and happened to see a few rows of figures standing in the distance, under the red light as bright as the sunset, the two children waved their hands high and shouted happily: "Mother, come here!"
"Shengnan, Xi'er!" A lame woman in white jumped out from behind Lin Yi and rushed forward with a wild scream: "Mother has found you!"
"Lord Lin. β
The voice suddenly pierced his ears, and Lin Yi was overjoyed: "Miss Gu?"
"Well, it's me. A woman's phantom stopped beside him, tilting her head sideways and smiling like a flower, who else could this be Gu Wanxi?
It's just that there are tear stains on both sides of his cheeks, which adds a bit of poignancy.
"Your Excellency. She stared at Lin Yi for a long time, and said stupidly, "I'm leaving...... Sorry, I can't be with you anymore. β
"Where are you going?"
Gu Wanxi stretched out her hand, pointed to the end of the red light, and said with a tearful smile: "Go to the other side." β
As he spoke, he slowly moved his steps to meet the light in the distance.
"What are you crazy about, come back quickly!" Lin Yi roared.
"I've been targeted. Gu Wanxi smiled bitterly and shook her head, and followed the phantoms into the red light step by step, leaving only a word of warning.
"My lord, that demon is too strong, you are far from being an opponent, you will leave by boat in the Ming Dynasty...... Remember, don't look back. β
The sound was blown away by the mountain wind, and finally there was no trace.
"Haha!" Lin Yi laughed angrily, gritted his teeth and stood up, fell again, and crawled over with his hands and feet, and said: "I witnessed my mother sacrifice for me that year, the kid was already a dead man, and now what can make me afraid?"
"Don't underestimate me!" Lin Yi glared forward, crawling with a low roar. But as soon as he moved half a zhang, the bell suddenly rang loudly, and the little finger followed with a pain, and the whole person flew back backwards like a paper kite.
The wind whistled and the fog poured around, and after a while, the man had fallen to the door of the mansion, and his knuckles hurt into the bone marrow.
He groaned and looked up, just in contact with Yin Xiaoxian's cold gaze.
"Lin Gongzi!" Black Hawk exclaimed in surprise and pounced on him to check on his injuries.
Xiang Zhicheng also stepped forward to press his bloody palm, and only Yin Xiaoxian was heard in the crowd saying, "Thank me well, you won't be able to come back any later." β
