Two people were already dead in the small chamber!
Lin Ruhu was obviously backfired by the fortune - borrowing spell cast by Danba and had lost his life.
He had scratched Si Jiangchen's face. When Si Jiangchen snapped his neck, he let his blood seep into Lin Ruhu's wound.
Lin Ruhu turned into a zombie and thus followed Si Jiangchen's command to attack Danba... In fact, as long as there were living people in this chamber, Lin Ruhu would kill them without discrimination, turning them into zombies obedient to Si Jiangchen!
Si Jiangchen had no intention of letting the people in the chamber live... However, he probably never expected that the One - Eyed Buddha Mother possessing Xue Shuo would lead Officer Xue's wife here. Moreover, he couldn't have anticipated that Master Zhebu, who had already escaped danger, would bring the lamas from Hongluo Temple back here!
Xue Shuo and his mother, Master Zhebu and three lamas. Suddenly, there were six more living people. Did Si Jiangchen also intend to kill them?
Seeing that Lin Ruhu and the iron - rod lama attacked by Danba were beyond rescue, and Danba had his skull caved in by another struggling iron - rod lama.
In this chaotic situation, I could only turn to Si Jiangchen for help. If only he would act, he could immediately stop this chaos!
However, judging from Si Jiangchen's attitude, he had even sealed the earthen wall created by Danba using illusions. This spell of creating an illusion within an illusion was the ultimate pursuit of those who practiced Taoism.
Simply put, Danba used the power of the Buddha Mother to transform thin air into a wall to block everyone's sight. But as long as one closed their eyes and rammed straight through, they could break through this illusion.
Si Jiangchen just leaned against this illusion and made the originally non - existent wall tangible. The pursued lama, although knowing it was an illusory wall, still couldn't break free.
All the people were trapped by Si Jiangchen!!
"Please, don't do this!"
While reaching into my pocket for talismans, I pleaded with Si Jiangchen, "Don't let them die!"
"Xiao He, do you know why I've been wandering in the mortal world for so long without having to hide like you?"
Si Jiangchen calmly watched the chaos in front of him.
He had indeed always lived a carefree life, unlike me, who had to flee like a rat.
Si Jiangchen took my hand and put the talisman I had already grasped back into my pocket.
"I've already given them a chance."
Si Jiangchen's eyes were cold as he looked at the struggling lamas. "They don't want to live. There's nothing I can do."
Before his words faded, the iron - rod lama whose throat had been pierced with ten blood holes by Danba suddenly opened his eyes. A white film instantly covered his entire eyeball. He bounced up from the ground like a spring and charged straight at Xue Shuo, who was lying on his mother.
"Officer Xue is a good man!"
The reason I came to Hongluo Temple was to save this pair of mother and son. If they weren't Officer Xue's relatives, I wouldn't have bothered.
Now that Officer Xue's soul was missing, I naturally couldn't let anything happen to his wife and son.
"But they all know we're the accomplices of evil spirits. How can I maintain my persona if I go out?"
Si Jiangchen's voice sounded extremely cold.
"They don't understand. They won't say anything!"
I didn't know what Si Jiangchen and I were in the eyes of Zhebu and the others, but for their survival, I had to brace myself and grab Si Jiangchen's hand to beg him for help.
Seeing the bald lama, looking like a blood gourd, contorting and pouncing towards him, Xue Shuo let out a terrified scream. He grabbed his mother's arm and pushed her in front of him.
Officer Xue's wife, in a daze, heard her son's scream. She quickly opened her eyes and instinctively stood in front of Xue Shuo. When she saw the bald lama with blood oozing from his neck, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
However, her son was right behind her. She dared not faint, fearing that her son would be torn apart by the monsters in the room!
"Help!"
Officer Xue's wife struggled. The pouncing zombie bit her on the shoulder. In great pain, she let out a shrill scream and looked in our direction.
She had seen our methods of exorcising ghosts. Compared with those lamas who only knew how to chant scriptures for salvation, she could only trust Si Jiangchen and me!
"Nature is round, earth is square. The laws of nine chapters prevail. Yin gives birth, and Yang follows. All ghosts shall have nowhere to hide!"
I didn't have time to take out the talisman. I directly made the hand seal of the Yin Five - Thunder Spell and waved it towards the back of the zombie.
At the same time, Master Zhebu, who was protected by his disciple, rushed out and tried to pry open the zombie's mouth that was biting Officer Xue's wife.
The iron - rod lama, already poisoned by the zombie venom, immediately let go of Officer Xue's wife and bit Master Zhebu's palm.
At this moment, my Yin Five - Thunder Spell exploded inside the zombie. Streams of blue lightning surged and circulated under his skin, bursting out blood plasma along his meridians.
But there was a look of horror and pity on my face. In just a few minutes, only Xue Shuo was left as a living person who hadn't been bitten by the zombies!
"Nature is round, earth is square..."
I made the hand seal again. The emptiness in my body after using my magic power made me stagger like a drunk person.
Si Jiangchen behind me suddenly sighed. He reached out and put his arm around my waist, holding my right hand that was making the hand seal. "Xiao He, when did you become such a soft - hearted person?"
I was never a soft - hearted person!!
I just wanted good people to be rewarded...
Not to mention Officer Xue, even the incompetent Master Zhebu was a kind - hearted and merciful person. He knew that being bitten by the zombie in front of him would mean death, but he still rushed forward without hesitation to try to save Officer Xue's wife.
"Fine!"
Si Jiangchen tightened his grip on my waist. He wiped his face, smearing the last trace of blood from his wound on his fingertips. He pointed at the zombies that had lost their human vitality.
Lin Ruhu, Danba and the other four bloody figures instantly froze in place as if they had been immobilized. Master Zhebu and Officer Xue's wife's pupils were already rolling up, and a white film was spreading from the bottom of their eyes...
"Go and stick two corpse - suppressing talismans on them!"
There was no trace of urgency on Si Jiangchen's face. He tightened his grip on my waist again and then pushed me out.
I immediately took out the yellow talismans and slapped them on the glabella of the two people who were about to turn into zombies. Their contorted limbs instantly calmed down.
"Sister Du... What are you doing?!"
Xue Shuo, who had been hiding behind his mother, suddenly poked his head out. His voice was extremely loud, as if he was deliberately saying it to someone. "Why are you sticking the talisman on my mother's head?!"
"One - Eyed Buddha Mother, don't try any more tricks. You can't escape."
I took out another ghost - suppressing talisman and tried to slap it on his head.
"Help!! Someone come quickly!! Du Xinghe and Si Jiangchen have killed many people!!"
Xue Shuo curled his lips into a sinister smile and then rammed his head into the illusory wall created by Si Jiangchen!!
