Between old buildings, at the intersection of laneways.The low street lamps were swirling with flying insects, casting a light light.This place is not far from the river, and the wet and cold river fog on the river is blown by the night wind, and a thin veil is shallow in the laneway.It's already past the wee hours of the morning.The pedestrians have all returned home, and the four fields are lonely.If you step into this intersection in a trance, you will inevitably have the illusion of stepping into a certain boundary, and taking a wrong step is an inhuman realm.Li Changan didn't feel so much, he just felt that there was no one around, so he just did it.He brought four bowls of rice, placed them on the four lanes at the intersection, and then put incense candles on the rice.Then he took out a bowl.The bowl is bright in color, and it is actually fresh blood.He took out a few pieces of yellow paper and a brush, and used the brush to wash the blood and write four words on the yellow paper.Lingguang.Persistence.Meng Zhang.Overseers.After writing, he picked the direction of the bloodstained yellow paper and put it under the bowl.Then, bow down and worship in all four directions, and chant in your mouth."
Worship the gods of the four directions, please open the doors of the four directions......" ..............................
Li Chang'an's learning is getting shallow and he knows very few spells.Slaying demons and eliminating demons is more dependent on the change technique given by the Yellow Shell Book.But by chance, through Liu Laodao, he also came into contact with some folk arts.He is now using one of them.As the name suggests, folk magic is a low-level magic passed down by folk word of mouth, and it is not even called a spell at all, most of them are just a guide to some supernatural characteristics, simple, crude, with little chance of success and great follow-up harm.For example, willow branches fighting ghosts, villains, and the famous dish immortals all belong to this kind of technique.What Li Changan is using now is called "Soul Lamp".I learned this from Liu Laodao, but because it was something that couldn't be put on the table, Liu Laodao didn't teach the Eight Classics.Everything he is doing now is just drawing a gourd according to the steps of Liu Laodao in his memory.…………………… After going through several preparatory steps, we finally reached the most critical step.Li Changan took a deep breath and took out an orange lantern with four light openings on it.Then he took out the bottle containing the ghost, placed it in the center of the intersection with the orange lantern, and then twisted the cap open, and suddenly the black mist rose into the sky, and the light flickered, and the ghost was free again.Li Changan took two steps back and bowed."
Please get into the sedan chair."
The ghost didn't move, and only a soft laugh could be heard in the cold fog.Li Changan endured his temperament and said goodbye."
Please get on the sedan chair!"
The ghost still didn't move, but his laughter became more and more presumptuous and sharp.Black resentment churned, street lights flickered violently, and flying insects scattered in all directions.In the uncertain light and shadow, Li Changan frowned and bowed again."
Please, the immortal in the sedan chair."
The ghost finally moved, but he opened his hideous mouth and pounced on Li Changan."
You are an immortal!"
Li Changan laughed angrily.This is the disadvantage of this kind of folk magic, although it can easily attract ghosts and spirits, but ordinary people lack the ability to fight ghosts, and many times, they will only fall into the mouth of the tiger.But, that's ordinary people......
Li Chang'an didn't bother to draw his sword, so he raised his hand and grabbed the door of the ghost's face, and with the other hand, he hit the ghost with an uppercut on the chin.Immediately, he closed the ghost's bloody mouth, and knocked a few front teeth off by the way, which turned into black smoke and dissipated when they fell to the ground.Then Li Changan caught the powerful ghost and used his old fist, and the black smoke drifted away and the soul body loosened.Li Changan stopped his hand, kneaded it into a small ball like bread and stuffed it into an orange lantern.Seeing that he was still making trouble, Li Changan asked."
Do you still want revenge?"
The movement in the orange lantern stopped, and the black smoke drifting around gathered through the lamp.Oh, a red light was projected from the lantern.Li Changan lifted the orange lantern and walked into the deep alley along the red light.What this soul lamp refers to is where Bai Xiuye is!
……………………………… The soul lamp showed the way, all the way to the outskirts of the city.In front of me is an old abandoned house.It is a two-story house that has fallen into disrepair, the second floor has collapsed, and the vines on the ground floor have grown along the cracks in the walls.This is a dilapidated house that a homeless person will not live in, and at this time, the deformed window has a faint light.The soul lamp was blazing with red light.But there is no need for it to remind, the smell of Gu insects that is so thick that it can barely be dissolved has already told Li Changan: This is Bai Xiuye's hiding place!
Li Changan used a charm to suppress the ghost, so as not to startle the snake.Without rushing in, he crouched down and slowly dived nearby.Through the broken windows, you can see that the house is lit with candles.Under the flickering candlelight, a wizened figure sat with his back to the door.He seemed to be holding a notebook in his hand and a pen, as if he was writing something, but he was just holding his chest and back, looking sluggish, and occasionally coming back to his senses, before he left such a stroke.Looking around, Li Changan's pupils shrank, he thought that the wall blackened by the wind and rain was actually squirming slightly, and then looked closely, where is the wall, it is clearly a thick layer of insects!
On the walls, on the floor, on the ceiling, black swarms of insects slowly wriggled.That's a lot!
Li Changan retreated and secretly measured himself."
Call the police?"
No, firstly, I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night, and secondly, I am afraid of the presence of the police.He grabbed a piece of dead grass and rubbed it unconsciously, crumbs falling on his fingertips.This......
Li Chang'an's mind turned, the weather has been dry recently, and on the side of the road just passed, a large number of dry dead leaves were piled up on the garbage trucks left by sanitation.…………………… If he looked at him again, Li Changan would find that Bai Xiuye had become even thinner than a few hours ago.On his body, it seems that there is no such thing as fat and flesh anymore, and his skin is thin like this, and it is not much different from a skeleton, so he can't make any expressions.He just sat still, like a statue that would collapse at any moment."
Woo."
Suddenly, there was a roar outside the house."
The wind is blowing?"
He slowly raised his head, his movements sluggish like that of an old man on the verge of death."
Bang dang!"
But then, the wind broke through the wooden planks blocking the doorway, and swarmed in with a large number of burning leaves.In the whistling room, it was like a fire dragon dancing wildly.Bai Xiuye woke up from his lifeless state, and he picked up a bony flute.With the sound of a sharp flute, the insect swarm agitated and lined up to stop the "fire dragon".But as soon as they got closer, all the insects seemed to be turned into headless flies, scattering in a hurry, and when they were burned by the flames, they were left as corpses of insects."
This is?!"
The young man with the sword suddenly appeared in Bai Xiuye's mind."
Bai Xiuye!"
With a loud shout, the wind rolled upside down, and the fire dragon cracked.The leaves in the room were burning, and Li Changan stepped out of the sea of fire, the long sword in his hand shining brightly.…………………… With a snap, he told his opponent that he had arrived.Li Changan was speechless, or rather, the sword was his words.He stabbed with his sword.That Bai Xiuye seemed to be intimidated by the sword blade, and he didn't make any moves.Without the slightest hesitation, the long sword penetrated into his heart.Wrong!
Li Changan was not happy, but his expression changed slightly.The sword pierced too easily, not like into delicate and tight flesh, but rather into something loosely structured.He raised his head suddenly, but saw Bai Xiuye's eyes glaring angrily and his mouth open, but there were no eyeballs in those eyes, and there were no teeth in his mouth.But listen to the "buzz".His eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and even the tear of the blade of the sword suddenly rushed out a large number of green flies.Li Changan withdrew and retreated sharply.At the same time, the wind carried the flames of the four together.The smell of burnt air adds to the scorching smell of the air.The swarm of flies was stopped by the fire, and Li Changan was about to bypass it and go to Bai Xiuye again.Suddenly, I felt a heavy weight on my sword.He looked sideways.It was a gap in the ceiling, and several large snakes fell and fell on the sword.Although it was cut by the blade of the sword and drenched in blood, it was still wrapped around the blade, and it was about to bite when it opened its mouth.Li Changan's wrist flicked, and he was about to shake them away.Suddenly.There was a loud "buzzing" sound, and out of the flames, a huge green-headed fly rushed out.The distance is too short, and under the entanglement of the big snake, it is too late to dodge or use the sword.Li Changan didn't look back, his other hand pointed into a sword, and he stabbed it when he raised his hand.The "buzz" sound stopped.At some point, he picked up a small sword between his fingertips, and he had pierced the big fly with a sword!
