I was startled. The eyes in the darkness of the rock crevice belonged to a ghost, but the transparent little hand in the water was not a ghost or a demon.
Under the induction of my spiritual sense, it was actually transformed from the spirit of a celestial being in the sky. The compass for finding ghosts and looking at qi would not have any reaction at all.
Suddenly, I was grabbed by countless transparent fingers, and my whole head and face were buried in the shallow water. The stream couldn't even reach the sides of my ears, but I was already completely unable to breathe.
Just as I opened my mouth to shout, countless little hands formed by the water flow got into my mouth and nose.
As the saying goes, "It only takes a mouthful of water to drown someone!"
As long as a mouthful of water gets into the lungs, people will cough uncontrollably, trying to cough out the water in their lungs. However, they will need to take a big breath when coughing, which will inhale more water. In just two or three minutes, people will be choked to death!
This is the ghost gate, and I was captured by the celestial beings who catch ghosts. I'm afraid that as soon as I die, these "righteous" celestial beings will hand me over to the ghost officers and arrest me into the underworld as a evil ghost.
The stream got into my mouth and nose as if it had life. I held my breath desperately.
It seemed like a hundred years had passed, and it seemed like only a few seconds had passed... A pair of big hands grabbed my waist and fished me out of the water.
"Xiaohe, are you digging for crabs?"
Si Jiangchen held the dripping wet me in his arms and looked at me in the sunlight that had already risen into the sky.
"Cough, cough, cough... No!"
I coughed loudly, but my face became redder and redder. The gentle and harmless water was like thick mud, trying to block my trachea.
Si Jiangchen stretched out his fingers to open my mouth, and his index finger and middle finger pressed on my tongue root and gently pulled outwards. I immediately felt that my internal organs seemed to be pulled out.
There was a crystal clear thing like crystal between his fingers, which was wriggling and refracting magnificent light in the sunlight.
I coughed twice more, and then gasped for breath and said to Si Jiangchen, "This is not a ghost, nor a goblin... It's the divine consciousness of a Taoist talisman, the divine consciousness of a celestial being!!"
"Humph."
The smile on Si Jiangchen's face was cold. He shook his wrist, and the crystal-like thing immediately seemed to be injected with a ball of black thick ink, and instantly lost its luster. Si Jiangchen casually threw it on the stone, and it immediately shattered into sediment.
"It's just a little trick of those stinky Taoists."
He looked around carelessly, and then said to me again, "Xiaohe, you might as well use a circular light technique here to see how that little ghost died and what resentment needs to be resolved."
"Okay!"
I nodded heavily.
Si Jiangchen put me back into the stream again, and he himself sat on those big stones. He casually fished in the rock crevice where I had suffered a loss just now, and actually grabbed a light blue talisman.
I was originally setting up the formation for the circular light technique. When I saw this talisman, I was startled and couldn't help shouting, "Why is there..."
The talisman is the password for Taoists to communicate with heaven and earth. The talisman written by a Taoist with magic power can be said to be that what he says is what he does, and he can invite all the gods and Buddhas.
The more powerful the Taoist is, the more powerful the talisman he uses.
I am already a high disciple with spiritual roots in the mouths of my several masters, but I can only activate the most ordinary yellow talisman.
Above the yellow talisman, there are four levels of talismans: blue, purple, silver, and gold.
Don't look that the blue talisman is only one level higher than the yellow talisman I use, but the difference between me and the mage who can use the blue talisman is like a natural moat.
The divine consciousness power on the blue talisman is something I can never control. It's like a child who can only lift a toy suddenly has a one-thousand-jin barbell on his body. If he insists on holding it, he can only make his soul and spirit perish!
"I didn't expect the Du family to invite people from the Qingwei School!"
Si Jiangchen sneered and casually tore it twice, and actually tore the natural moat that I couldn't cross into a stack of fragments. "The Water Virtue Star Lord Talisman is just a little bit of divine consciousness!"
As the blue talisman was broken, I felt that the water under my feet had lost its coldness just now.
"The heavenly law is clear, the earthly law is spiritual..."
I chanted the magic formula of the circular light technique in my mouth. The shallow stream under the sunlight was the most suitable environment for the circular light technique to be performed.
The sparkling light waves leaped out of the pale golden light.
There were faintly a few six or seven-year-old children in the water, playing naked in the water.
I could clearly see a little boy doing the same action as me, lying on the rock crevice, as if he was digging for small fish and crabs inside.
The other children wanted to go over and pull him, but they were frightened away by a dwarf with an ugly appearance. That dwarf was Feng Xiaobao, the son of the Feng family. Beside Feng Xiaobao, there was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a gray robe and with his hair coiled up.
The Taoist priest went over and pulled up the little boy lying in the water, and found that he was not dead yet. The little boy saw the Taoist priest and actually stretched out his hand to ask for help, obviously someone he was familiar with.
The Taoist priest showed a very kind smile on his face. The next second, he actually stretched out his hand and dug out one of the little boy's eyeballs.
I couldn't hear the sound in the circular light technique, but I seemed to be able to hear the little boy's shrill scream.
After the Taoist priest took his eyeball, he casually threw the boy into the stream and left with the blood on his hands.
And the dwarf following behind him looked at the little boy lying in the water twitching and struggling embarrassedly. Finally, he still pressed his head and face into the water with a ferocious face...
The picture of the circular light technique stopped abruptly here.
I was a little out of my mind...
I originally thought it was a very simple death event.
Feng Xiaobao drowned Xiaoshanzi in order to offer sacrifices to his willow tree spirit mother! I didn't expect there to be a stranger, a Taoist priest in the middle?!!
Obviously, Xiaoshanzi's eyes were refined by that Taoist priest and placed in the rock crevice to hook me!
No matter how you calculate it, all the targets seem to be concentrated on me?!
First, Wei Yuan was haunted by ghosts and asked me for help.
After coming to this village, I just happened to meet a drowned child who needed to be exorcised!
And the place where this child died was actually set up with a celestial array, which was clearly meant to take my life!
If it weren't for Si Jiangchen's help today, I'm afraid that blue talisman would have bound me hand and foot...
I couldn't help but feel cold in my back.
I don't need to think about it. This must be another scheme of the Du family in northern Henan!
I've always been sensitive to pursuit, so they had to set up such a trap and wait for me to drill into it.
It's been many years since I've been running away and they've been chasing me. They've already figured out my temper...
Just like the current situation, even though I know there will be danger, I still have to go back to Aunt Yang's house without hesitation!
Because if I don't go back, I'm afraid their whole family will be like Xiaoshanzi, and they won't be quiet even after death!
"The Du family really spent a lot of money. They really invited the old bastard from the Qingwei School."
Si Jiangchen also saw clearly the appearance of that Taoist priest. From his tone, the two should be familiar with each other.
"Yes... The Du family killed someone in order to catch me?!"
I felt a feeling of anger and helplessness in my heart.
Before, in Lu Village under Miaofeng Mountain, they used the dead body...
Now, they've actually started to abuse and kill children?
If you count the wronged souls under the old willow tree and the Yang couple with black air covering their heads, I'm afraid there are already more than a dozen people in this mountain village who have been persecuted by the Du family in northern Henan.
I didn't even know that I was so important to the Du family that they were determined to get me!
