Chapter 36 Baby... Stay away from those bad men...
It is better to catch the vengeful ghost sooner rather than later.
Now that the plan is in place, you can start executing it.
Helan Wei went to the pavilion in the center of the house.
Xie Chengjin set up a formation to find the location of the resentful ghost's dantian, and then went to its dantian first.
As bait, Xie Yanyu should also go to the ghost's Dantian.
But she couldn't go with Xie Chengjin.
Resentful ghosts like to scare people with evil spirits.
It would wait until the people in the house were most terrified before it took the opportunity to control their minds, making them walk to its dantian and then devour them.
Since Xie Yanyu is responsible for playing the role of the "food" of the vengeful ghost, he must act realistically and well.
So she had to follow the ghost's eating rules, wait until the yin and evil spirits in the house were at their heaviest, pretend to have lost her mind due to the evil spirits, and then walk towards its dantian.
Therefore, she had to act alone.
But fortunately, she didn't want to act with Xie Chengjin.
She always felt guilty walking with him, especially since he had behaved strangely just now. She just wanted to stay away from him.
*
At three o'clock in the morning,
The negative and evil spirits in the house finally became stronger.
Xie Yanyu went out with a lantern in her hand. She wore a talisman to ward off evil spirits, but she still pretended to be possessed by evil spirits and her mind was being controlled as she walked towards the dantian of the resentful ghost.
Because the resentful ghost transformed into this house, its dantian also became part of the house.
Although the location of Dantian will always change,
But right now, its dantian is the abandoned Buddhist temple at the westernmost end of the house. This place is rarely visited and the road leading there is very narrow. It is surrounded by dense vegetation and looks like a ferocious ghost at night, which makes it even more eerie.
Because the Yin Qi is heavy at this time,
A chilly wind blew around, and Xie Yanyu felt extremely cold just by walking on the road, as if he was in an ice cave.
The lantern flickered in the wind, making her shadow very long.
This environment is a bit creepy.
Xie Yanyu had lived in an abandoned haunted house for a while due to financial difficulties. Every night, the house was filled with gusts of cold wind, just like now.
Although she was used to such an environment, she still felt a little scared.
However, because Xie Chengjin had said before that he would keep the "bait" safe, although she felt a little uneasy along the way, she did not think too much. After all, although Xie Chengjin was strange just now, he returned to normal later and should not target her. What's more, he has a high level of cultivation and acts rigorously, so nothing will go wrong.
Since you have already confirmed that you will not encounter any danger, there is no need to spend too much time thinking about all those trivial things. Just follow the plan step by step.
So Xie Yanyu quickened his pace and walked towards the ghost's Dantian.
That is the abandoned Buddhist temple at the westernmost end of the house.
However, the closer she got to her destination, the more she felt something was wrong.
She had a strong feeling of being watched, but she couldn't tell where the gaze came from, as if she was being monitored from all directions without any blind spots.
Xie Yanyu was very resistant to this feeling.
In this kind of environment, she was already feeling a little uneasy, and now being surrounded by such gazes, her scalp began to tingle.
But I don't know why,
She instinctively thought of the stranger who had sent her harassing messages.
So she paused, put her hand into her sleeve, and took out the communication talisman.
There was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the communication talisman, which meant that no one had sent her a message.
But at the moment she took out the communication talisman,
She suddenly received several messages——
【Yanyu.】
【How can you be so smart?】
【Guessed that I was looking at you. 】
*
When Xie Yanyu received the message from this person for the first time, his hair stood on end.
When Xie Yanyu received the message from this person for the second time, he became suspicious and felt threatened by everything.
When Xie Yanyu received the message from this person for the third time, he felt a little numb, but also had a feeling that it was indeed him.
She read these messages with a dull face.
Then he put away the communication talisman expressionlessly and prepared to put it back into his sleeve pocket.
However, at this moment,
That person sent another message: [Don’t go any further.]
Xie Yanyu saw the message but did not reply.
But she doesn't need to reply.
That person soon sent a bunch of new messages -
It's very dangerous.
"They are all bad men. How could they agree to let you do something as dangerous as being bait? Stay away from them."
"I know you don't like them, but you're not really going there to help them. You're just playing around with them, right?"
【What do you want to do when you go there? 】
【I can give Yanyu anything he wants. 】
Stay away from them...
Xie Yanyu read the news word by word.
The more she looked, the more her eyelids twitched. She was originally a little afraid of this person,
But now, she didn't know whether it was because he sent messages too frequently, or because the tone between the lines of these messages was too crazy and foolish, her fear of this man faded, and she was left with impatience.
So she finally couldn't stand it anymore and replied: [What can you give me? ]
*
The other side.
When Shen Lang received her reply, he was stunned for a moment.
He didn't think she would reply to him.
At this moment, seeing her message, a morbid joy blossomed in his glass-like light-colored eyes. His slender white hand stroked the communication talisman, touching the words on the talisman bit by bit, as if he wanted to touch her through the words she replied.
That alone excites him.
It was a strange, extreme feeling of pleasure.
His fingertips were numb, his breathing became faster, and his eyes even began to turn slightly red. He held her clothes in his arms, staring at the communication symbol without blinking, and let out an intimate and sticky sigh from his throat: "Baby..."
*
Chen Lang always felt that calling Xie Yanyu "Yanyu" was not intimate enough.
He wanted to be closer to her, from distance to address, he wanted to be intimate with her.
He wanted to haunt her and stare at her all the time.
He wanted to make her into a specimen and treasure her up. She was the most precious, beautiful and expensive treasure. He would hold her in his arms day and night.
He even wanted to eat her, bite her into pieces and swallow her into his stomach.
Even more,
He sometimes thought it would be nice if he were a female snake.
If he were a female snake, he would be able to get pregnant. He wanted to give birth to Xie Yanyu and let her absorb the nutrients in his body to grow up. In this way, he could be truly intimate with her, with bones connected to bones, flesh connected to flesh, and even blood blended together, so close that they could not be separated, and would be connected together for generations to come.
But he is not.
He could only peel out his soul and put it in the scales that protected his heart. He stared at her day and night, watched her, fell asleep holding her clothes, and looked at the picture in the water curtain with the most obsessed and intimate tone, calling her baby over and over again uncontrollably.
Even he knew this was a bit morbid.
In order to avoid scaring her, when he sent her messages, he could only restrain those morbid desires and called her "Yan Yu" over and over again.
But she replied to his message.
It was like a switch was turned on, and those morbid and uncontrollable obsessions and desires could no longer be turned off.
He tried to restrain himself, but he couldn't hold it back at all. He even bit his own finger bones, tearing his fingers until they were covered in blood. However, he still couldn't help but shed tears. He sent her two messages in reply.
【Baby……】
【You can have whatever you want.】
*
This side.
Xie Yanyu received his reply.
When she saw the word "baby", her hair almost stood on end.
Is this person sick?
She felt a surge of inexplicable anger and replied, "Really? I want the resentful ghost's inner elixir. Can you give it to me?"
Although Xie Yanyu said so,
But between the lines, there was not much intention to ask him for the inner elixir of the resentful ghost, but rather a lot of sarcasm -
This person was monitoring her but had not shown up yet, which meant that he was probably not in the resentful house.
But he insisted on replying to her like this, saying that he could give her anything she wanted. But he wasn't even in the resentful house. How could he give her what she wanted? Forget about the resentful ghost's inner elixir. Even if she asked him to bring her a cup of tea at this moment, he might not be able to do it.
Xie Yanyu knew all this clearly.
She didn't really expect him to help her get the inner elixir of the resentful ghost, but seeing what he said, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He even dared to say such unrealistic nonsense. Did he think she was stupid, so he played such a low-level joke on her and made fun of her?
She was unhappy, and although she didn't dare say anything too harsh to him, she could still ask him a few sarcastic questions while keeping a sense of propriety.
However, just after asking the question,
Then I saw a message quickly come back: [OK.]
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu looked at his reply and almost laughed out of anger, and even felt a little helpless.
Can?
How could this be possible? Could he kill the resentful ghost remotely and then send the resentful ghost's inner elixir to her remotely?
Does this person really think she is stupid?
When she thought of this, she suddenly felt bored.
She didn't know why she replied to him just now. It felt like a waste of time. She pursed her lips and decided not to reply to him. She continued walking forward with the lantern in hand.
But just after taking two steps forward, he heard faint footsteps behind him.
There was a cold wind blowing all around, and the only light was the flickering light of lanterns.
The current environment was already weird, and the footsteps were intermittent. Xie Yanyu was really scared this time, and his pace slowed down involuntarily. But as he slowed down, the footsteps behind him also slowed down.
She was sweating coldly, but her mind was still clear. She wondered if it was because she didn't reply to the stranger that the stranger deliberately scared her and caused this to happen.
So she took a deep breath and looked down at the communication talisman again.
That's when
The man sent her several messages:
[I placed a puppet behind you, and let it go to the dantian of the resentful ghost for you.]
[It can help you get the inner elixir. All you have to do is go back to the room and wait for it to get the inner elixir.]
【The doll is made in your likeness.】
【Baby……】
【Don't go any further.】
【Look back.】
Xie Yanyu: "..."
So the footsteps just now were from the puppet.
She was still frightened, but the feeling of fear had faded a lot.
I don’t know how high this person’s cultivation level is. He can place an object as big as a doll behind her silently through the air.
If she hadn't heard the footsteps, she would still have thought he was playing a cheap joke on her, but now, she stood there for a long while, then turned around with the communication talisman in her hand.
Looking back,
Then I saw the puppet.
The doll looked very lifelike, matching her figure, wearing the same dress, and even sporting a small mole on her collarbone. The person hadn't forgotten to disguise themselves; the doll's face looked just like hers. If she hadn't known it was a doll, she would have almost mistaken it for a real person.
At this time,
The man sent her a few more messages:
[I cast a spell on the puppet. It will go to the resentful ghost's Dantian for you. If spiritual energy falls on it, it will immediately reverse and seize that spiritual energy, and seize the inner elixir of the owner of the spiritual energy.]
[Your stepbrother is setting up a formation outside, saying he wants to protect you, but he's only doing it in secret and won't come in to look for you.]
[I don't believe those bad men will really protect you...]
【Baby, don't be fooled by them. 】
[But no matter what, according to your plan, Xie Chengjin won't touch the doll, so only the resentful ghost's spiritual power will fall on the doll. The resentful ghost will regard it as food and try to digest it with its spiritual power.]
[At that time, it will seize the ghost's inner elixir. The ghost may struggle and fight it. However, Xie Chengjin will set up a formation outside to destroy its dantian. At that time, the formation should be effective. With the formation in effect and the dantian destroyed, the ghost will no longer be able to fight the puppet, and the inner elixir will naturally fall into the puppet's hands.]
Xie Yanyu remained noncommittal: [Then the puppet gave me the inner elixir?]
The man replied:
【Baby. 】
【You can drop a drop of blood on it. 】
[You can directly sense its general state by dripping blood on it. When you feel it has almost obtained the inner elixir, you only need to think about it and you will immediately appear at the puppet's original location. Once it obtains the inner elixir, the resentful ghost's dantian will also be destroyed by the formation, and that place will no longer be dangerous.]
[If you appear, it will immediately disappear, and the resentful ghost's inner core will fall directly into your hands. Xie Chengjin and the others will not suspect you.]
Xie Yanyu paused.
She listened to the spell and had a hunch that something was wrong.
It’s not that this spell is wrong. She has seen this spell in a book before. This spell does exist and will not backfire on her.
But this is witchcraft—
So this stranger is a demon?
Xie Yanyu thought about it in his mind, but did not ask this question.
She had a keen intuition and could tell that he was really helping her, but she didn't understand why and still felt uneasy about it, so she just asked him: "You are helping me. Why are you helping me?"
The man replied: [I love you.]
Xie Yanyu: "..."
She felt that she couldn't understand this man. She didn't even know him, and he had only monitored her for a while. It was ridiculous for him to say that he loved her.
She didn't believe what he said, but she felt that his answer was probably because he was unwilling to tell her the truth, so she didn't ask the question again.
He didn't want to answer, and no matter how she asked, she would only get untrue answers.
She changed the question: [You helped me, how do you want me to repay you?]
The man replied: [Baby, can you stay away from those bad men?]
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu had nothing to say.
She was very confused. She didn't know why this stranger was monitoring her and helping her now. She also didn't know whether he was a demon or not. But the most urgent thing was to get the inner elixir of the resentful ghost. Letting the puppet go was indeed much safer than going alone.
She thought for a moment.
Then he suppressed his doubts for the moment, cut his finger, and dripped blood directly onto the doll.
Next second.
The puppet slowly began to move.
*
The other side.
The dantian of the resentful ghost.
This is an abandoned Buddhist temple at the westernmost end of the house. The main hall of the temple is covered with cobwebs, and the beams inside the hall are half collapsed. The statue in front of the main hall is not a real Buddha, but looks eerie.
Outside the palace,
It is a deserted courtyard with no vegetation.
Just by standing outside the courtyard, you can see everything inside the palace from afar.
Xie Chengjin's purpose of this trip was to set up a formation at the Dantian to destroy the vengeful ghost's Dantian.
He didn't need to enter the courtyard or the palace, he just needed to set up the formation outside the courtyard. While setting up the formation, he saw Xie Yanyu enter the palace, and then saw her kneeling on the cushion in the palace.
The night is deep now,
He was far away from her, and he didn't notice much difference when he looked at her from afar.
I just felt that her walking posture was very stiff, and I didn't know if it was because of the cold or because of fear.
Maybe it's because of fear.
Being a bait is dangerous, and it would be abnormal if she wasn't afraid.
But she was destined to die.
She asked for death herself.
Xie Chengjin's eyes turned slightly cold, then he looked away indifferently and continued to arrange the formation with an expressionless face.
When the formation is almost finished,
He raised his eyes as if possessed by a ghost and looked into the palace again.
Then,
I saw her kneeling on the mat, but her head was hung down.
From a distance, one could see her neck and hands, exposed outside her clothes. They were even paler than usual, almost like a doll, with a lifeless air, as if she had been unconscious for a long time.
Is he dead? Or fainted?
If you break a piece of brittle bamboo, you can hear a sound, but she didn't move at all, no struggle, no cry for help.
It was as if killing her was easier than breaking a bamboo stick.
Even now,
Even if the vengeful ghost started eating and tried to digest her with spiritual power, it should be done slowly, using a little spiritual power to test her first.
Is she so fragile that she can't even withstand this little bit of spiritual power?
Xie Chengjin felt a little weird.
He didn't know whether she was unconscious or dead.
It is hard to describe what kind of feeling this is, but for a moment, he was thinking,
She is actually so fragile. Why can't he keep her? Is he afraid of such a fragile existence?
A cold wind blew around.
The palace seemed even more eerie. The wind blew up her skirt, but she still kept her head down and did not move.
Xie Chengjin paused.
After a while, as if by some strange coincidence,
He moved his feet and walked towards the palace with an expressionless face.
Even in the plan,
He didn't even need to enter the palace.
