"Ah... this is..."
Yu Yu, who was in a calm mood, finally realized something was wrong.
Wang Dao Xuan looked around, stroked his beard and frowned and said, "This fog locks the energy and covers the whole city. It is definitely not an ordinary method. There is also a method on the dock, maybe it is a Japanese pirate method."
As he spoke, the sound of flapping wings sounded in the air. Falcon Li Dong landed on Lu San's shoulder and chirped twice. Then Lu San shook his head and asked in confusion, "The sky has also been blocked by heavy fog. Bewildering Formation has been set up. Do those Japanese pirates have this ability?"
"Not sure."
Wang Dao Xuan said with a solemn expression, "There are many people at the dock, so it's not a big problem. What I'm worried about is Yan XiaoGe. He's alone. He hasn't been back for so long. I'm afraid something might have happened."
Just as he was talking, mist suddenly billowed outside the door.
But I saw Little White Fox Chu Qi, jumping out of the thick fog and jumping on Lu San.
"Chu Qi?"
Lu San touched Little White Fox's head with a smile on his face, but then he heard the chirping of the white fox, his eyes gradually became serious, and he stood up and said, "Something did happen."
"Yan XiaoGe found the mastermind behind the scenes and followed him to the house of a family member. Chu Qi ran back to report the news, but there was thick fog and Ghost Wall on the road. Fortunately, it had an amazing sense of smell, but Divine Ability saw through the illusion and ran back."
"That's it..."
Wang Dao Xuan said immediately, "It's not too late, let's go."
Regardless of the nonsense, after bidding farewell to the remaining members, the two of them immediately came to the street.
"Chu Qi!"
Lu San shouted, and Little White Fox rushed into the thick fog without hesitation, leading the way ahead.
Walking through the fog, all five senses are lost.
The surrounding area is boundless gray, the moon is dull, and the sense of direction is completely confused.
In the thick fog, one can hear strange and twisted whispers, as if they are coming from the ground, and as if they are right next to the ears. There are also phantom sounds of clashing swords, screams, and children crying, floating through, shocking the mind.
But that lively white color is always in front, flickering in and out to lead the way.
Of course, just in case, Wang Dao Xuan also took out the turtle compass.
Chu Qi's sense of smell, coupled with this treasure, the thick fog is no longer an obstacle.
Ghost Wall can trap ordinary people to death, but they turn a blind eye.
Along the way, we also met many stranded people.
There are drunkards smelling of alcohol, nocturnal city foxes and mice, young men looking for flowers and flowers, as well as watchmen and city government officials. Without exception, they are all trapped on the street.
They panicked and ran around as if they had seen a ghost. Wang Dao Xuan and Lu San were standing a few meters away, but these people could not see them at all.
However, the situation was so urgent that the two of them did not care about rescuing them.
Under the leadership of Little White Fox, we went to the salt merchant Wang Maode "Jiyu Garden".
After running for a long time, passing through twists and turns of alleys, Chu Qi, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
Wang Dao Xuan and Lu San followed a few steps forward, and through the gap in the slightly swaying mist, a majestic mansion suddenly appeared in front of them, but it was shrouded in a black mist that was almost solid.
The red lacquer door is closed tightly, and the huge stone lions on both sides are looming in the mist.
The black fog cuts off light and sound, making it look like a haunted house.
"We're here!"
Lu San narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed his backhand on the handle of the knife, "This is it!"
Wang Dao Xuan quickly observed the surrounding formations, then looked at the turtle compass in his hand, frowning and said, "It seems that this mansion is the core formation. The illusion is more condensed, and the main entrance is difficult to enter..."
Saying that, he started to move forward.
"Wait a minute!"
However, Lu San stopped him, his ears twitched slightly, and he stared straight ahead, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, "There's something wrong up front."
Wang Dao Xuan knows the ability of Lu San and can hear the language of birds and animals. Although it is not like Li Yan who can understand the language of ghosts and gods, some special sounds can also be heard more clearly.
"Gongs, drums, Erhu, singing and opera, and a lot of mourning..."
Lu San Having said that, I also felt a little ridiculous.
He had no idea what could be causing this.
At this moment, both of them felt chills in their hearts.
"Wow--!!"
A cry that was so shrill that it could tear the souls of an infant exploded in their ears without any warning!
The sound did not come from one direction, but seemed to come from all directions, even from the inside of his own skull, piercing Divine Soul.
Wang Dao Xuan Although his cultivation is profound, his mind is also shaken and his head feels dizzy.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!"
A rapid, cold, and emotionless sound of the abacus beads hitting each other, like a reminder, came from the depths of the thick fog on the left side of the gate.
The sound had a strange rhythm, and with each "crack" sound, Wang Dao Xuan felt as if his heart had been squeezed hard by an invisible cold hand, and the blood and energy in his body suddenly stagnated.
The muscles and bones seemed to be tightly entangled with invisible threads, becoming sluggish and stiff!
Wang Dao Xuan's face turned pale instantly.
"Daoist Priest!"
Lu San saw that the situation was not good and quickly protected Wang Dao Xuan behind him.
"It's Yin Debt Curse, protect me!"
Wang Dao Xuan sweated on his forehead and gritted his teeth.
Lu San When he heard this, he suddenly felt worried.
There is a saying in Daoism that when everyone is reincarnated, he will borrow a "yin debt" from the Netherworld. This debt may be in the form of earth energy, blessings or money, etc., which opens up his life's destiny.
Among them, official debts are called karma debts, and private debts are called karmic debts.
Furthermore, there are human skin debts, merchant debts, official debts, marriage debts, etc.
There is also a very complex calculation method.
No one knows whether this statement is true or not. There are people with evil intentions in Xuanmen who will make a lot of money in the name of "paying back debts". There are also true Xuanmen practitioners who use this method to help people overcome disasters.
But there are also evil cultivators who use this method to cast spells.
They had talked about this before on the road. After hearing this, Li Yan guessed that this should be an innate flaw in everyone's breath. As the saying goes, no one is perfect and there will always be shortcomings.
Those who are hesitant will miss opportunities.
People with cold nature will have weak kinship.
In addition, most people have defects in the five elements, and when the five internal organs are reflected, loopholes will appear. "Yin Debt Curse" attacks based on this loophole.
Although it is a guess, Wang Dao Xuan figured out the solution "Yin Debt Curse".
He took out "Wish-Fulfilling Pearl" without hesitation, and the moment he opened the wooden box, the moonlight flowed, cutting off the energy and the curse at the same time.
Then, the Daoist took out a piece of Yellow Talisman, made a hand and recited the incantation, and drew it on his body.
Although he is kind-hearted, he is not a weak person who can be bullied and has begun to counterattack.
But the appearance of the treasure's light also attracted covetous attention.
"Wish-Fulfilling Pearl!"
In the darkness, a vicissitudes of life and greedy voice sounded.
Whoosh!
Lu San immediately took action, and two steel cones roared out.
He has keen hearing and has noticed the other party's position.
Wow!
The sound of shaking beads was heard.
But on the distant courtyard wall, a lean figure appeared, wearing a yellowed old gown and a small hat, with a sallow face. The greasy and shiny iron abacus in his hand knocked two steel cones away.
On the iron abacus, a layer of corpse oil condensed, which was very disgusting.
Lu San was about to continue taking action, but the warning signs came again in his heart.
Under the porch on the right, a short red shadow like a raccoon cat, covered by the mist and strange cries, moved as fast as a ghost and flew towards Wang Dao Xuan's ankles close to the ground.
Lu San You can clearly see that it is a child-like freak.
Wearing a red bellyband, white satin trousers, a thick layer of pale foundation and two dazzling blushes on his face, he looked like a child tied with paper for crying at a funeral. He ran and jumped with inhuman agility and stiffness, and was like a terrifying puppet whose strings were pulled and whose joints made a soft "gurgling" sound.
This guy's eyes are empty, and his target is obviously Wang Dao Xuan.
"Get out!"
Lu San let out a low roar and swung the bone in his hand quickly, hitting the freak.
The wind howled and reached his body, but this little freak didn't dodge. He just raised his head suddenly and let out a series of weird laughter that was sharper, faster, and coming like waves:
"Grrrrrrrrrr-heeheehee-haha!"
The sound was so real that it caused severe pain in Lu San's eardrums, and stars appeared in front of his eyes.
His hearing is very sensitive, so when he encounters this kind of sonic magic, he gets a headache.
What's even weirder is that the laughter seems to have triggered something. In the darkness of the corner of Jiyu Garden's wall, a few blurry black shadows actually came to life swaying and sobbing, crawling towards Lu San from different directions, trying to hug his legs and feet.
What Lu San doesn't know is that this freak is anything but simple.
He has no name. He is one of the twins cut out from the body of a woman who had difficulty giving birth. The other died on the spot. After being picked up by Zhu Suanpan across the street, he was fed with Yin Qi and corpse oil and grew up, named Ying Ling.
Neither human nor ghost, more like a "living puppet".
It is born with a "ghost voice" and can imitate any human voice it hears. It is especially good at imitating the frightened sounds of women and children or the laughter and crying of children, so as to disturb people's minds and attract targets.
After attaining a high level of Daoism, you can even awaken the Yin Soul attack.
As for the one on the opposite side, it is Zhu Suanpan that picked up Ying Ling.
His real name is Zhu Quanfu. He has worked as a pawnbroker and a bookkeeper in a gambling shop. He is also a scoundrel of a rich man in the countryside. He is thoughtful and calculating, and he has done many things to harm people's lives for the sake of money.
Later, he was taught sorcery and could Yin Debt Curse hurt others. With Ying Ling's help, he had a fierce reputation.
Seeing Lu San being attacked by Ying Ling's sound curse, Zhu Suanpan laughed, then stared at Wang Dao Xuan, the abacus in his hand crackled, and at the same time he kept chanting the curse in a low voice.
His strategy is simple.
At the speed of Ying Ling, it is impossible for ordinary people to touch it.
As long as Wang Dao Xuan is injured and the orb is taken away, he can kill and seize the treasure without fail.
However, his calculation was still wrong.
Lu San's bones were smashed down, and Ying Ling easily dodged it. However, he endured a severe headache, pressed the metal switch on the copper stick, and pushed it gently.
Boom!
There was a loud noise and smoke dispersed.
"Ying Ling", which was approaching Wang Dao Xuan, flew out like a rag doll.
Instantly, the slippery, sticky, and greasy rotten flesh spattered everywhere, and an indescribable disgusting smell mixed with aged corpse oil and fancy powder came to his face, making Lu San almost vomit.
The shooting range of the bone in his hand is not very far, so Sha LiFei helped to modify it. It is filled with fragmented projectiles, which is more suitable for close combat. The lower magazine can be quickly replaced by twisting it.
Designed with shotguns at close range, Ying Ling was beaten to a bloody pulp with holes all over his body.
But what surprised Lu San was that this freak was not dead yet. He didn't even cry out in pain. He pounced on him again, with sharp black nails digging into the vital parts of Lu San's waist and abdomen.
Fortunately, there is a hole in his neck, so he can no longer use sonic magic.
Without interference, Lu San's combat power increased sharply.
He snorted coldly, turned sideways, and raised his feet to rub the ground.
Bang!
Ying Ling was kicked away and hit the wall.
"Woo~"
Little White Fox Chu Qi bared his fangs and pounced.
"Don't bite, it's dirty!"
Lu San looked at the stinking rotten meat on the toes of the shoes, his face full of disgust.
On the opposite side, seeing Ying Ling's sneak attack fail, Zhu Suanpan's face suddenly turned pale.
He didn't care to attack Wang Dao Xuan again, reached out and pulled out an iron bead, which was engraved with various strange blood-colored runes. He made a secret with his right hand and flicked it with one finger.
Phew!
The abacus flew with a sharp whistling sound.
Seeing Lu San wave his bones to resist, Zhu Suanpan's mouth suddenly showed a sneer.
His arithmetic is not that simple.
It looks like there is a charm engraved on it, but it is actually a deception. The inside of the bead is hollow and filled with poisonous powder. As long as it is broken by a blow, the poisonous powder will explode.
I don't know how many masters have been attacked by this method.
However, the moment Lu San waved his bones, his ears twitched slightly. He immediately turned sideways and pulled off a piece of cloth from his waist. With a clever twist of his covered hands, he firmly caught the abacus in his hand.
Zhu Suanpan still underestimated Lu San.
The beads are filled with poisonous powder, and the sound will be slightly different.
Ordinary people can't hear it, but Lu San can detect it sharply.
"Seeking death!"
At the same time, the voice of Wang Dao Xuan also sounded.
The Daoist finally used the talisman paper to completely absorb the energy of the spell on his body, and after hiding Wish-Fulfilling Pearl, he took out a straw man from his arms, put Yellow Talisman on it, and held a Root Bone thorn and muttered:
"The sky is dark and the earth is dark, the sun and the moon have nothing to do with it. The invisible shadow is a black shield, illuminating all thieves' ways. The sky covers the earth, the gods cover the ghosts, the thieves cover the coma..."
"Seven Arrows Secret Curse!"
Zhu Suanpan was shocked when he heard this.
This spell is notoriously fierce, and Wang Dao Xuan rarely uses it on weekdays, so that others think he only knows how to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, but they don't know that people have the highest talent for spells.
Poof!
After casting the spell once, Wang Dao Xuan suddenly inserted the bone spur into the straw man, then flipped his wrist and another bone spur appeared, and at the same time he began to recite the spell for the second time.
<Seven Arrows Secret Curse>The higher you go, the harder it is to practice.
Ordinary people can only cast three arrows, but Wang Dao Xuan has already broken through the fourth arrow.
The secret spell of four arrows is enough to kill most monks.
If five arrows are hit, even some secular gods will be cursed to death.
Poof!
Zhu Suanpan felt tight in his chest and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Not all the five Ghost Opera Troupe people who appeared before are here.
Because Zhu Suanpan and Ying Ling are almost one, so Yellow Springs Wanderer left them both to guard Netherworld Stage.
But at this time, Zhu Suanpan couldn't care about anything else. He moved the abacus with both hands and sang in a sinister voice. "The abacus moves the yin and yang account, the wandering ghost listens to my order, the resentment of three coins buys the road, and the evil debt of five taels begins~
"Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..., the mist of the underworld locks the moon in the middle of the night, and the ghosts and ghosts climb up the steps and stain their clothes with blood..."
As he sang, the surrounding area suddenly became Yin Wind.
The black mist that shrouded the entire Wang family mansion surged upwards, almost forming a vortex.
In the center of the vortex, directly in front of the Wang family mansion, a bronze treasure slowly appeared.
The base is the Netherworld Jiuquan Platform, with three floors of hexagonal Xumizuo. Each floor is embossed with a different picture of hell in disguise, and six "Soul-Seizing Bell" are hung on the hexagonal cornices.
It is Ghost Opera Troupe's treasure that Pressing Qi transports:
Netherworld Stage!
