Ghosts flickered in the fog.
A large area of black, all ghosts...
Needless to say, these must be the prisoners of war who died here. Most of them died suddenly, and their ghosts still retain the hideous appearance when they died. Some of them died in the plague with festering pus all over their faces, which looked very creepy. Those ghost faces were looming in the fog, and even I, who deal with these things all day, couldn't stand it!
If so many ghosts rushed at me at once, even the Heavenly Master would not be able to bear it, right?
I took a deep breath, and the yin energy around me became thicker and thicker. Now when I breathe, I can clearly see the white air slipping out of my mouth and nose. I estimate that the temperature is at least minus ten degrees. At the moment, I am only wearing a single autumn coat, my body has been frozen, and my teeth are trembling.
Snap!
A crisp sound suddenly sounded beside me. I turned my head and saw that Gu Yinghan had taken out a lighter and was roasting a small paper man.
The paper man was made of yellow paper and was only the size of a palm. It was so lifelike, with distinct hands and feet, and the facial features were dotted with cinnabar. The big red eyes and big red lips looked a bit awkward.
I don't know why, but just by looking at the paper man, I suddenly had such a strange feeling - this paper man seemed to be... alive!
The big red eyes dotted with cinnabar exuded an indescribable evil spirit. I just glanced at it and got goose bumps all over my body, because under the big red eyes, I felt as if there was a beam of eyes wandering and scanning me...
This thing is really too evil, it's definitely weird!
So I couldn't help asking Gu Yinghan what this thing was.
Gu Yinghan glanced at me and said lightly: "Broken evil paper man!"
I immediately took a breath of cold air!
I know that the evil-breaking paper figurine is actually the same as the ghost servant. They are all Taoist masters who collect the evil spirits that are causing trouble in the world into the paper figurine. However, some evil spirits repent after being sealed. The Taoist masters will give these repentant ghosts a chance to sell them to some wealthy families to burn for the deceased. They have endured endless suffering in the underworld to redeem themselves for their wrongdoings. After paying off their karma, they can enter reincarnation. This is what I said before. The evil-breaking paper figurine is different. There are always some evil spirits who know their mistakes but do not correct them even if they are sealed into the paper figurine by Taoist masters. Taoist masters will not sell such paper figurines, let alone give the ghosts in the paper figurine a chance to reincarnate. Instead, they will directly nail the ghosts into the paper figurine and merge them with the paper figurine. When the paper figurine is there, the ghosts are there. When the paper figurine is damaged, the ghosts will be scattered! In fact, the evil-breaking paper man has almost become something similar to a Taoist magic weapon. Once the evil-breaking paper man is ignited, when the ghost is burned to death, the evil spirit and yin spirit inside will be released. The evil spirit and yin spirit released at that moment are quite amazing. The ghost dare not approach at all, and all evil spirits retreat. To put it bluntly, it is a method of fighting poison with poison.
I can feel that my eyes are a little strange when I look at Gu Yinghan. I didn't expect that this person actually has such a thing!
"I always walk on the night road all year round, and I always meet a few people who don't care about their lives."
Gu Yinghan said lightly: "So I have accumulated some over the years, but this is all the inventory."
While speaking, the lighter in Gu Yinghan's hand roasted the paper man for a while, and then ignited the paper man with a bang. The pale green flame rose to a finger high at that time, and the paper man actually screamed miserably, which made me feel cold and goose bumps all over my body.
However, the moment the scream sounded, the surrounding Yin Qi retreated a lot. At least my frozen body began to recover gradually. The ghosts that were gathering here in the distance stopped approaching and wandered in the fog, looking at us with resentment!
Seeing that those ghosts would not pounce on us for a while, I was relieved, so I asked Gu Yinghan: "What should we do now?"
"The broken evil paper people are limited, after all, it is only a temporary solution!"
Gu Yinghan looked at the broken evil paper people in his hand, which had been burned a little bit, and sighed: "I estimate that these broken evil paper people can only last less than an hour at most. Once the broken evil paper people are burned, those dirty things will still pounce on us. If we don't want to be held down by these ghosts and eaten and drunk, we have only one way to go!"
At this point, Gu Yinghan looked at the robbery hole that was still emitting rose purple flames, and said nothing.
But I understood what he meant: "You mean, the plan remains the same, go to the underground base?"
"We can only do this!"
Gu Yinghan said dimly: "The Yin Qi is so heavy now, the Japanese soldiers in the underground base may have woken up a long time ago, it's not the best time to go in, but we have no more choices, these ghosts above were killed by those Japanese soldiers when they were alive, and they are still enslaved by those Japanese soldiers after death. The fear of those Japanese soldiers is engraved in the bones. As long as we enter the underground base, they dare not catch up no matter what!"
I nodded: "Then do it!"
Gu Yinghan thought about it, grabbed a dozen broken evil paper figures from his backpack and handed them to me, saying: "You burn these paper figures first, don't stop, I'll make some preparations!"
After that, he stuffed the almost burned paper figure in his hand to me, and then took out some things from his bag and started to prepare.
This broken evil paper man has basically been burned to only two legs. When I pinched it, the light green flame was less than half a centimeter away from my thumb, but I couldn't feel the slightest bit of heat. The pale green flame was swaying, and my fingers touching the flame even felt a little cold.
This flame clearly has no temperature! !
In the blink of an eye, the two legs of the broken evil paper man were almost burned. I remember that when Gu Yinghan lit the paper man, it took a long time to light it. In order to prevent any problems, I took out a paper man in advance.
This paper man felt cool to the touch. As soon as I held it, there were strands of Yin Qi lingering around my fingertips. It was not thick, but I could feel it. I didn't look at it carefully, and fumbled around my body to find a lighter. Who knew that at this time I felt that the paper man in my hand seemed to move! !
This scared me. I turned my head and saw that the scarlet corners of the paper man's mouth, which were painted with cinnabar, were slightly raised, as if smiling at me!
I felt a slight chill on my back. Could it be that the ghost in this broken paper man was not sealed well?
"Humph, a little evil ghost dares to bully people!"
Suddenly, Hua Mulan's voice rang in my heart: "Xiaotian, don't panic, use the murderous aura to your fingertips and suppress it!"
I nodded, secretly used the murderous aura, and the murderous aura in my body rushed to my fingertips in an instant, and then the broken paper man in my hand actually screamed "squeak", and then there was no movement!
It seems that this thing was bullying me just now. If I didn't have the murderous aura, I'm afraid this thing would have rebelled!
I hated it secretly in my heart. Without saying anything, I lit the lighter and started roasting the paper man. Sure enough, this thing can't be lit in a moment. It took a long time to get some temperature. At this time, the paper man that had been lit was basically burned out, leaving only a pair of feet. The pale green flames were almost jumping on my fingertips. There was no burning feeling. Instead, the coldness froze my hands a little stiff. I was secretly anxious in my heart. If this paper man burned out and the other paper man was not lit, it would be a big commotion!
Fortunately, when the two feet were burned clean, I lit another paper man!
Looking at the pale green flames jumping, I breathed a sigh of relief. With this experience, I was much calmer when burning the evil paper man next time. The time was also accurate, and it was always connected well.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
At this time, the cesium metal mixture in the roof mezzanine of the underground base seemed to have finally burned out. No more flames came out, and the air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur. Zhang Bowen was busy putting the climbing rope around his waist and preparing to go down. Who knew that just when he walked to the front of the tunnel and sat down, he screamed and jumped away.
