At this moment, Shi Ce was leaning against the door outside. After waiting for a long time without seeing Yu Nian and the others come out, he murmured to himself, "Could this Yu Nian be a quack? Did she run away because she thought the temple was too dangerous?"
Just as he was pondering, there was a loud "boom". The temple actually collapsed.
Shi Ce only felt the sky darken for a moment. He didn't know that the resentful spirits and gloomy qi that had been hidden in every corner of the temple had all rushed out.
The night was deep. At this moment, Shi Ce was the only living person for miles around. Attracted by the aura on him, the ghosts all revealed their forms and rushed towards him menacingly.
Shi Ce had never seen such a scene before. He let out a shrill scream, buried his head tightly in his arms, and fled desperately.
The night was pitch - black. He failed to see the road clearly in front of him and fell down in a sorry state. He only heard a sinister laugh behind him. A particularly hideous and strong big ghost stretched out its hand wreathed in black qi and rushed straight towards Shi Ce.
Despair welled up in Shi Ce's heart. He thought he was going to die here today.
But just as the evil ghost approached him, a golden light suddenly burst out from Shi Ce's body, bouncing the aggressive evil ghost away.
Shi Ce stared in disbelief with wide eyes. Could he be the chosen one, and his superpower was awakened at this critical moment?
He looked down at himself and found that the golden light was emitted from the talisman paper in his chest pocket.
Shi Ce took out the talisman paper half - believing and half - doubting. The moment the talisman paper was exposed to the air, the golden light shone brightly. The surrounding evil ghosts screamed and took a step back. They seemed extremely afraid and stared warily at the talisman paper in Shi Ce's hand.
Shi Ce was so touched that he almost shed tears. He completely forgot his previous doubts about Yu Nian. He tightly grasped the talisman paper as if grasping a life - saving straw. At this moment, even if someone offered a thousand pieces of gold for this talisman paper, he wouldn't give it up!
The evil ghosts surrounded Shi Ce and continuously let out unwilling growls from their throats. Two evil ghosts with the heaviest resentment exchanged a look, as if they had discussed a strategy, and then rushed towards Shi Ce together.
Just as Shi Ce was panicking, a pair of fair hands grabbed the evil ghosts' hair and casually tossed the two ghosts away like throwing a shot put.
Looking at the numerous evil ghosts around, Yu Nian decided to cut the Gordian knot. She pulled out the hairpin from her bun and softly called out, "Liu Mo."
Liu Mo was just worried that there was no chance to show its prowess. Hearing Yu Nian's call, it was overjoyed. In the blink of an eye, the huge black snake coiled on the open ground. It twitched its tail vigorously, smashing the evil ghosts into a mess. They swayed and piled up into a small hill.
Liu Mo then used the move "Flying Snake in the Sky". Its huge body fell, and the evil ghosts deflated like punctured balloons and were pressed to howl.
Liu Mo narrowed its snake eyes and bared its teeth, saying, "Be quiet!"
The evil ghosts shrank for a moment. Shocked by the powerful demonic qi, they didn't dare to say a word.
Yu Nian put all the evil ghosts into the Qiankun bag and said to Shi Ce, "The demonic qi on you has been removed. Only the family - haunting evil ghost that has been bothering you is left to be dealt with."
Shi Ce stared blankly at the snake several meters tall in front of him, too shocked to speak. But Liu Mo didn't even glance at Shi Ce. It wobbled over to Yu Nian's feet and gently rubbed its snake head against Yu Nian's arm.
Shi Ce finally felt relieved. He had witnessed Yu Nian's abilities. Now, besides gratitude, he was full of admiration.
Now he only hoped that Yu Nian could quickly capture the old ghost so that he could return to his normal life. So he asked Yu Nian respectfully, "Please give me some instructions, Master. What should I do?"
Just as Yu Nian was about to answer, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly noticed Feng Chengyuan at the end of the line with a strange expression. She was slightly stunned.
"Chengyuan?"
Feng Chengyuan had his eyes tightly closed at this moment. He felt weak all over, and the cold qi spread from his feet to the top of his head. Cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He heard Yu Nian's call and tried hard to answer, but his body involuntarily slumped down. His heavy body began to feel light, and he quickly lost consciousness.
Yu Nian's eyebrows twitched. She quickly flashed to Feng Chengyuan's side and supported him. Her speed was so fast that almost no one in the group had time to react.
Yu Nian stared intently at Feng Chengyuan for a while and then suddenly frowned.
There was no resentment on Feng Chengyuan's body, but a very faint layer of white mist was floating around him. It was ethereal and made Feng Chengyuan's face look even paler, as if he would dissipate like flying sand the next second.
Based on the contract master's perception of the contract person, Yu Nian vaguely felt that Feng Chengyuan was affected by the corpse - oil candle. But his constitution was different from He Zhiping's. At this moment, the spiritual qi on his body was entangled with that evil qi.
No matter how powerful Feng Chengyuan was, he was still a mortal. Under this powerful force fluctuation, he had fallen into a state of false death.
Yu Nian's eyes darkened. Suddenly, she thought of Hong Xi. It was a thousand - year - old immortal herb. Maybe it had a way to dispel this fierce evil qi. She quickly took out a paper crane from her bosom. After chanting a spell, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew away at an extremely fast speed towards Qingxin Temple as if it had come to life.
Shi Ce was also a bit flustered. "Master Yu, should I drive President Feng to the hospital first?"
Yu Nian glanced at the sky and said calmly, "It's going to rain soon."
Shi Ce was stunned. He looked up doubtfully and saw a clear starry sky. There was no sign of rain at all.
It wasn't that he doubted Yu Nian's ability, but he had checked the weather forecast. The weather had been nice for the past few days.
He hesitated and said, "Master, did you make a mistake?"
As soon as he finished speaking, big raindrops hit Shi Ce's face. Then the wind howled, and the rain got heavier and heavier. It was almost impossible to move forward.
Shi Ce:......
He let out a sigh of admiration and was completely convinced of Yu Nian. As expected of a great master, she was really prescient!
Everyone carried Feng Chengyuan on their backs in a hurry. They rented a room in the nearest hotel nearby and finally settled Feng Chengyuan down.
Yu Nian told the worried group, "Go back first. The temple is too full of bad luck. You've all been affected to some extent. Take a hot bath and go to bed early."
Yu Nian returned to the room and sat beside Feng Chengyuan. She reached out and undid the buttons of Feng Chengyuan's clothes, took off his upper garment, and then bit her finger and drew several talismans on his chest to protect his soul from the invasion of the evil qi.
Feeling the tight and warm muscles under her fingertips twitch, Yu Nian's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She suddenly remembered their first encounter at the bottom of the cliff.
The man was covered in blood, but his handsome eyebrows and eyes were still evident.
At that time, Yu Nian could pull out the glass shards from Feng Chengyuan's body without blinking an eye.
But now, looking at the unconscious Feng Chengyuan, an unknown emotion suddenly welled up in Yu Nian's heart. It was dull, like a heavy stone pressing on her chest, making her feel uncomfortable no matter what.
She gently leaned over and pressed her forehead against Feng Chengyuan's, unreservedly conveying her spiritual qi to him.
The distance between them was extremely close. Their breaths intertwined. Yu Nian was in a daze for a moment. She seemed to have never looked at Feng Chengyuan so seriously before.
His skin was very fair, his nose was straight, and his features were well - defined. At this moment, his good - looking eyebrows frowned slightly, but there was still no sign of waking up.
A flash of white light, and Hong Xi's figure appeared in the room.
He stretched out two fingers and felt Feng Chengyuan's pulse. His expression changed slightly. "He's been affected by the corpse - oil candle and trapped in his own spiritual consciousness by the evil qi."
