Volume 2 Gangneung Spring Chapter 84 Keeping a Peaceful Night
At present, only the strange man and woman were left in this gloomy inn, carrying white lanterns for the dead, and the shadow of the lamp shining on the dusty tables and chairs was even more strange.
Ling Jiang knew that he was no match for these two, but one thing was certain, this place was definitely not the inn they were staying in. Or perhaps, like the old Dragon King Temple, he will have already reached the underworld. Dabai also told him that the sun is yang, and the sun is yin, so there is no absolute separation between yin and yang in this world, and the underworld can also be yang.
Ling Jiang didn't dare to look at the dead man on the ground, looked at the two people walking towards him and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Senior brother, why is there only one fat sheep, and has another one run away?" the woman didn't seem to hear Ling Jiang asking, but asked the man behind her.
The man looked around, and indeed there was only Ling Jiang in this place: "There is a problem, it should be two fat sheep, where did the other one go?"
"Fat sheep?" Ling Jiang couldn't understand why they wanted to compare themselves to fat sheep, and thought to himself, "In this way, they don't know where Da Bai is. ”
"No matter what, it's better than a bamboo basket for water. The man in black said, "Boy, hand over all your belongings, and I will spare your life." ”
"What do I have?" Ling Jiang shook his head, "My things are all in the guest room, and I don't have them on me." ”
"You don't fool people!" the lantern woman sneered, "you want to trick us into going to the guest room and then take the opportunity to escape? ”
"The treasure on my body?" Ling Jiang frowned, the only thing he carried close to him was the sword given by Uncle Jiu.
He was just about to reply, when suddenly a white shadow burst out of the darkness, followed by a second, a third...... There was a giggling sound in the inn, almost identical to the one heard on the ghost ship.
"Oops, it's a hundred ghosts walking at night!" exclaimed the lantern woman, "Senior brother, we have met our peers!"
The man and woman in front of Ling Jiang were very ugly, at this moment they were surrounded by these white-clothed ghosts, and Ling Jiang didn't dare to move, for fear of touching the white ghosts. Just because the man's hand on the ground was only touched by a flying ghost, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one Sen Sen Bone Hand left!
The man in black hurriedly stepped forward, and a golden light flashed between his palms, "Little junior sister, sacrifice flag!"
The woman with the lantern understood, she put down the lantern in her hand, stretched out her hand and pinched it out of thin air, and a black flag appeared out of thin air. She waved the flag in her hand, and the ghosts that were scurrying around instantly gathered together honestly, and although the laughter continued, it was much calmer than before.
"Zhaoyin Qi, I can't imagine that you two little dolls are actually from that place......" A cold voice echoed in the darkness.
The woman was holding a black flag, and her face looked even more ugly. But if you walk on the rivers and lakes, if your bottom is seen by others, but the other party is still scorching, this is not a good sign.
"Dare to ask what the name of the seniors is, so that the two juniors can know which Yin God they have collided with. The golden light of the black-clothed man's palms was very dazzling, and he raised his head and asked in all directions.
In the darkness, Na Sen's cold laughter then sounded: "Haha, you two little dolls are quite interesting, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the old man is called the second elder of Yinshan." ”
"Second Elder Yinshan, he is not dead yet?" a man and a woman said in unison.
"Senior brother, how should this be?" The woman was anxious, and glanced at Ling Jiang with reluctance, at this time Ling Jiang was being pressed against the door panel by several pairs of cold human hands, although he couldn't see it, he could also feel that these hands were directly stretched out from the door panel!
"The Yin Banner can deter the night movement of a hundred ghosts, but if the two elders of Yinshan really come, we are afraid that we will not be able to resist a single move. The man lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, junior sister, senior brother still hasn't been able to help you get this opportunity, put away the Zhaoyin Banner." ”
The woman looked at the man in black with a strange look and nodded slowly. She just moved her heart, and the black flag in her hand suddenly disappeared. At this moment, the golden light of the man's palms burst out violently, and the light shot straight towards Ling Jiang, making him unable to open his eyes.
Smack!
Hearing the sound of plasma bursting in his ears, the cold restraint on his body suddenly disappeared. At the moment when the golden light weakened, the man in black grabbed his shoulder with one hand and quickly rushed to the woman's side.
At this moment, the woman had already lifted the white lantern, and muttered some incomprehensible incantations in her mouth, and the ghost aura continued to spread from the ground, wrapping around their bodies.
"Little doll, you dare to play tricks on me!" the voice exploded with anger in the darkness. The ghosts gathered together seemed to have broken through the cage and rushed towards them like ten thousand arrows.
"Senior brother, the formation still needs ten breaths!" "The lantern woman kept making marks in her hand and hurriedly shouted.
The man in black first pointed at Ling Jiang's acupoint, making him unable to exert his strength. He stepped forward alone, and shot out a palm of golden light, blasting the ghost shadow that approached first into pieces. At first, there were not many ghosts, and he could still deal with them calmly, but as the ghost army pressed down together, the man in black began to look a little powerless.
"Is the little junior sister okay?" he shouted with red eyes, "I can't hold it anymore!"
"Three breaths!"
At this time, the ghost qi wrapped them like an eggshell, and Ling Jiang also felt a strange force about to suck him into the ground.
"Five Ghost Handling Technique, get up!" The woman held the lantern high, and in an instant, five tragic grimaces appeared around the three of them, and the mysterious power exploded, and Ling Jiang already felt that his feet were beginning to sink.
"Want to go? It's not that easy. ”
Before the words fell, two pitch-black chains shuttled from the fierce ghost, only a sonorous sound was heard, and the five grimaces around the three of them suddenly dispersed, and even the ghost aura gradually became dim, and the three of them sank back to the ground again.
"Let you little dolls escape under my nose, where is the face of my second elder of Yinshan?" As the words came out, a scrawny figure entered the sight of the three of them from the darkness.
He was wearing a black cloak, carrying a skull and bone staff, and there was hardly a piece of good meat on his body, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a dried corpse, because on his exposed calves, he could already see the corpse spots.
Syllable......
The sound of the skull cane hitting the ground touched people's hearts, like a death knell.
"Is this the Second Elder of Yin Mountain?" the man in black muttered in a low voice, he clenched his fists and rushed forward with the determination to die.
However, he had only stepped forward two steps when a pair of white bony hands suddenly burst out of the ground and grabbed his heels. It couldn't stand still, and hurriedly supported the ground with its hand, but even then, the whole person was still half-kneeling on the ground.
"Little doll, haven't your parents taught you etiquette?" The second elder of Yinshan said coldly, "For the sake of my peers, I wanted to let you live, but unfortunately, you dare to play me, so bold!"
"The second elder of Yinshan, the idea is from me, if you want to kill me, you will carry it alone, please raise your noble hand and let my little sister have a way out. The man in black bowed his head and knelt down, and said to the second elder of Yinshan.
The second elder of Yinshan asked undeservedly, "Are you praying for me?"
"Senior brother, if you die, I won't survive!" The woman with the lantern waited excitedly, and some tears overflowed from her eyes.
"You have to live!" The man didn't look back, "Live, let those people in Chang'an see that even if we leave that place, we can still live well!"
"It's a touching feeling of life and death. The second elder of Yinshan issued a gloomy tone, "It's a pity that the old man has been disgusted with this thing decades ago. Rest assured, all three of you will die happily. Of course, he'll outlive the two of you, ......."
Syllable!
The second elder of Yinshan lightly tapped the skull bone staff, and glanced at the angry man in black, and an invisible killing intent had already emanated from his eyebrows. As long as it wants to, just a moment of gentle movement of its fingertips, this poor pair of brothers and sisters can die no longer and can no longer die, that is, their souls are scattered.
Clang!
Bang Bang!
A sudden sound of gongs broke the silence in the inn, only to hear the sound approaching from a distance, someone chanted: "The sun and the moon alternate, the dawn is approaching, the time is coming!"
Hearing this voice, Ling Jiang was immediately taken aback, "Isn't it not long after the ugly time?
Crunch......
The dilapidated door of the inn was slowly pushed open, only to hear the whirring wind blowing in, and what greeted me was a man with a gong and a banging gong, he was wearing the official uniform of the imperial court, and at first glance it was clearly a watchman, with a red ribbon tied on his forehead.
"Are you in the wrong place?"
"Dare to ask if this is the underworld?" The watchman made a low voice, perhaps because of the regular annual watch, but because it always spoke in a lengthened tone, intentionally or unintentionally.
There was silence in the inn, as if no one knew how to answer the question. The watchman of the imperial court broke into the inn late at night, and the first sentence actually asked if this was the underworld, and which play was this singing?
"If you don't have anything to say, that's acquiescence. The watchman nodded, glanced at the dead man who had been scalped, ignored the ghosts floating on the side, and walked towards the second elder of Yinshan.
"Beat the watchman, you have too much to do!" The second elder of Yinshan looked at the beating man who was advancing step by step, obviously a little annoyed.
Clang!
He clenched the stick in his hand and struck the gong hard. For a while, all the black smoke and miasma in heaven and earth suddenly dissipated, and those floating white ghosts were nowhere to be found.
Ling Jiang felt that his ears were about to be deafened by the sound of this gong, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he couldn't believe that this seemingly ordinary gong could make a sound like thunder exploding.
"Have you made enough trouble? It's late at night, so let's be quiet in the underworld. The watchman looked at the crowd and said.
The second elder of Yinshan frowned, and the face that only had a human skin left looked even more terrifying, and he asked, "Who are you? Who sent you?"
"Huh. The watchman sneered, "I'm just a humble husband, if you really want to know who sent me, why don't you go down with me and ask." ”
Listening to the word "down", everyone already knows it.
I saw the second elder of Yinshan glaring at Ling Jiang fiercely, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness. The woman with the lantern also ran quickly to the man's side, and a cloud of black gas was thrown out of her hand, and after ten breaths, the two of them also dissipated without a trace.
Only then did the watchman walk towards Ling Jiang, stretched out his hand a little, and unlocked the acupoints on his body.
"Let's go, I'll send you back to the sun. The watchman glanced at him and said.
Ling Jiang got up from the ground and said, "Dare to ask the seniors what to call them." ”
When the watchman heard this, he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, "Senior......? I am the night watchman of this sea city, and the night is long, and I just want to keep this night peaceful. ”
