Volume 3 Chapter 14: Ghostly Qi Urging the Corpse
I was startled. What was supposed to happen had come. It was that ghost. I took out eight copper coins from my pocket, listened to the direction of the laughter, and made all preparations for battle.
Shen Bing was not afraid. She poked her head out from behind me and asked curiously, "Who is there, laughing so ugly?"
Oh my god, can an evil laugh sound nice?
Qu Mo very cleverly pulled Shen Bing to her side and said, "I'm a little scared, you stand next to me." She was obviously afraid that Shen Bing would hinder me from using magic, so she deliberately showed her cowardice.
Shen Bing nodded vigorously: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
At such a tense moment, I almost laughed out loud at her words. It’s not certain who will protect whom.
After the laughter, there was silence again. There was no sound for a long time. The rain and fog in front of me became thicker and thicker. It didn't look like rain anymore, but more like thick fog. I said to them vigilantly, "Hold your breath, the ghost thing is stimulating the evil spirit of the corpse!"
Shen Bing then realized that the laughter just now was made by the evil spirit, and she tightly grasped Qu Mo's hand, but the latter turned his head alertly and looked around, as cautious as a cheetah that smelled danger.
I held my breath and waited for a few minutes with my heart beating wildly. I couldn't hold it any longer and took a breath, wondering why there was no movement. This situation was the most torturous. You knew there was an evil spirit nearby, whether it was a demon or a ghost, but it played hide-and-seek with you and kept you on edge. It would be better to just stab you with a knife!
"Crackle, squeak"!
In the silence, there was a sudden sound of bones popping. My heart jumped and I hurried to find the source of the sound. Suddenly, this sound burst out from all directions, as if dozens of people were moving their bones, which made my scalp numb. What was even more devastating was that this sound was happening right next to me. I looked down and saw that the body curled up on the ground was actually slowly stretching out. It was because of this movement that the bones made the sound of bones popping!
"Country bumpkins, it seems like they are all alive!" Shen Bing cried out in a trembling voice.
Damn it, they attacked us with ghost spirits, but the corpses were not afraid of the exorcism talismans on us, which was a troublesome thing. I calmly shouted at them, "Don't be afraid, the corpses have no souls, they are just walking corpses. I will break their legs later, and they will not get up after falling down!"
Qu Mo suddenly said: "I remember, this place seems to be where I came last night!"
I was stunned and asked her, "Are you sure?"
Qu Mo nodded and said, "I just received a hunch, it can't be wrong." She might have received the hunch from the possessed evil spirit, I can believe that.
The bodies on the ground were probably too stiff and had been curled up for too long, so it was difficult for them to stretch out. Not one of them had stood up yet. It was still possible to escape quickly.
I hurriedly said, "Which direction did you come in from last night? Maybe that's the way to survive!"
"West, but I can't find the direction now!" Qu Mo said in annoyance.
I said, "Don't worry, I'll help you find the direction." I raised my hand and threw seven copper coins into the air. I pinched my right hand and chanted, "Seven stars looking at the moon, guiding the light, command!" I used my finger to point in the air. The seven copper coins were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, with the handle pointing to the front right!
I pointed to the left and said, "This is the west, let's go!"
Qu Mo immediately pulled Shen Bing to the left and back. I collected the copper coins and followed them, kicking away several corpses that were almost about to stretch their bodies. At the same time, I took out a bunch of incense from my bag and chanted two mantras of clones. The incense and candles burned. I reached out and pulled a few hairs from my head, put them on the incense, and they burned to ashes in an instant. Then I threw the incense among the rocks and hurriedly followed them forward.
Most of the bodies in front of me stood up. I tried to turn the flashlight to the ground, so that they could see the terrain clearly and not see the faces of the bodies. To be honest, it was not a sight for human beings. Just imagine what a body that had been dead for many days would look like. You can imagine it without even seeing it. It's probably more terrifying than Tang Xiaohan's face!
These corpses looked like the zombies infected with the virus in the movies. They staggered towards us with purple-black hands stretched out. Because the light was dim and low, we couldn't see their faces. The horrifying scene made people think of all kinds of terrible scenes.
Shen Bing is actually not a coward. She is just very scared when she can't see ghosts. When she really encounters a ghost, she is calmer than before. Besides, she has experienced ghosts twice. How can we say that her immunity to ghosts is stronger than others. She showed her strong side at this moment. She punched and kicked according to my instructions. Every move was based on the legs of the corpse. Together with Qu Mo, she cleared the obstacles in front of her and ran forward smoothly.
The corpses behind us all stopped in front of the incense I dropped, and gathered around, not knowing what to do. Hehe, I used the clone spell. Ghosts have a way to confuse people, and Taoists also have a way to confuse ghosts. Use your own hair to sacrifice on the incense and candles, lead the ghosts to the side , and then you can escape!
I threw out two bundles of hair incense in succession to draw away the corpses in front of us, making our escape smoother. Soon we reached the foot of the mountain path. At this time, the corpses did not follow us, but circled around the incense. I told them to climb up quickly. When people are running for their lives, the potential of their bodies is huge. The three of us used our hands and feet to quickly climb halfway up the slope. When we were about to climb to the flat ground, a cold breath suddenly rushed over us. I hurriedly shouted, "Hold your breath!"
Damn it, because of what I said, I inhaled a lot of Yin Qi, and my head was dizzy. I almost fell off the mountain path. I quickly took out Erguotou and drank a sip, and my mind became clear. I climbed up a few steps and caught up with them. I saw Shen Bing fainted on the mountain path, but Qu Mo was fine. His eyes were shining green, and his face was different from usual, looking a little hideous!
I was just about to ask her if she couldn't control the evil spirit in her body, when she suddenly giggled a few times, and a big furry tail popped out from her buttocks!
"You've been fooled. This is not the place. This direction is not the way out. Hahahaha..." She jumped up quickly, more agile than a monkey. She jumped over Shen Bing and disappeared in the vast night rain in an instant.
I stared at the direction she disappeared in shock, my heart pounding. What was going on? Was she in league with the ghosts and tricked us into this dead end? I glanced at the unconscious Shen Bing, temporarily putting aside my doubts, pried open her mouth, poured a few sips of strong liquor into her, then recited two cleansing spells and tapped her forehead.
At this moment, the evil spirit of the corpse had not dissipated yet. I tried my best to hold my breath, pulled Shen Bing's raincoat over her face, and covered her mouth and nose.
"Mmmm...you country bumpkin, why are you covering my mouth?" Shen Bing woke up. Maybe she couldn't breathe because of the cover, so she struggled and screamed.
I didn't have time to answer her, I was almost suffocating, so I picked her up and climbed up. Fortunately, the ground was only seven or eight meters above, so I climbed up in a few steps, put her on the ground, and ran forward holding her hand!
