Finally, I managed to escape the woman in red and sat down to catch my breath. Suddenly, I saw a figure walking towards me. My heart tightened, thinking it was some kind of ghost. But when I saw his face, I breathed a sigh of relief. It was the old blind man.
The old blind man obviously spotted me and quickly came over. "Master Liu, you're here! I thought you hadn't escaped."
Where is Xiang Fei?
"Isn't he with you?" The old blind man looked at me with a puzzled expression.
I shook my head inwardly. It seemed that the three of us had gotten separated earlier, but now that I had run into the old blind man, I breathed a slight sigh of relief.
What puzzled me was that the old blind man seemed to be in good condition at the moment, as if he had taken some medicine.
With a chuckle, the old blind man said, "Let's try to find a way to leave here together, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with those Shu people when they come out."
"But what about Xiang Fei and the others?"
"Don't worry, they'll get out on their own. Just focus on your own lives. You know they're much more capable than us."
I quickly shook my head. "That's not good. We all came in together, so we should all leave together. What if they're looking for us everywhere? Wouldn't that be bad for them?"
The old blind man didn't continue speaking, but changed the subject, "Let's go, let's go to the square and see, maybe Xiang Fei is looking for us there."
I didn't object, and together with the old blind man, we groped our way toward the bronze human face statue. When we arrived at the square, it was shrouded in mist, and we didn't find any trace of Xiang Fei and the black cat.
"Let's go and see other places."
The old blind man stared at the bronze human face and said, "Don't you want to know the secret behind this?"
"What secret?"
"Hehe, it's about the secret of this ghost town."
"The secret of a ghost town? What secrets could there be here?"
"Hey, you'll find out when the time comes," the old blind man said mysteriously.
I was a little confused, but I still followed the old blind man. In the center of the square stood a bronze human face statue. By now, I was getting a little creeped out by it, feeling that it was emanating an eerie aura and watching me.
The old blind man had already run up and looked at the cave entrance behind him. Then he started searching for something on the bronze human face statue, looking at it and touching it. It looked just like Uncle Liu from Hunan last time. Could there be some secret on it?
Out of curiosity, I went up to examine the bronze human face statue. Suddenly, my eyes lit up when I saw that the bronze human face statue was covered with tiny characters, just like the ones I saw on the stone tablet at the Burial Site of Immortals. However, the characters on this statue were very well preserved. Of course, I couldn't understand them, but I felt that these characters should be related to the Shu Immortals.
"Did you see these words?" the old blind man suddenly asked from behind me, which startled me.
Realizing what I was doing, I nodded. "I see. What do these words say?"
"Hey, this contains the 'immortal techniques' that everyone dreams of. Can you understand them?"
I shook my head. "It's too ancient. Even Xiang Fei can't understand it." At the same time, I was also greatly surprised. What was recorded here was actually the legendary ancient Shu 'immortal technique'.
"Can you write it down?" the old blind man asked again.
I felt something was off. "I don't recognize any of them, how am I supposed to remember them?"
"This is a 'celestial technique'! Obtaining it could potentially make you an immortal, something countless people dream of. Aren't you tempted?"
"So what if you're tempted? There's nothing I can do if you don't understand it. Since you're so tempted, why don't you write it down yourself?" I asked, somewhat puzzled.
The old blind man shook his head, his face full of disappointment. "You don't understand. Only you can see the real words on these pages. What we see are all fake."
"How is this possible?" I exclaimed, my eyes wide.
"Of course, because you are the reincarnation of Shu Yuan, a great general in ancient Shu, and only you dared to confront the 'Shu Immortal' back then, the evil power on this bronze human face is useless to you, but it will affect us."
I was skeptical of what the old blind man said, "but I couldn't understand it at all, and even if I could see it, there was nothing I could do."
"Hehe, of course there's a way," the old blind man said in a strange voice.
"What method?"
The old blind man stared straight at me, and I felt a chill run down my spine.
"hey-hey.....".
"The solution is to sprinkle your blood on it," the old blind man replied calmly.
Hearing him say that, I immediately jumped up. What a joke! Sprinkling my blood on it? This bronze human face is so big, even if you let my blood flow out, it still won't be enough.
"Old blind man, what do you mean?"
The old blind man didn't answer, but stood there chuckling sinisterly. I became increasingly terrified, and a sense of unease crept into my heart. "Is this old blind man a fake?"
"Hehe, after waiting for so many years, I've finally found the reincarnation of General Shu Yuan. Your blood is the key to unlocking 'immortal magic'," the old blind man said, slowly turning around.
I saw his face begin to rot, bleeding, and his eyes gleaming with an eerie light as he slowly walked towards me.
If I hadn't seen something terrifying before, I probably would have wet myself by now. I quickly backed away, took out the Soul-Suppressing Lamp, only to find that my lighter was gone.
The "old blind man" chuckled and raised his hand, holding my lighter.
I knew something was wrong, so I started chanting the Yin-Yang incantation again, took out the Yin-Yang talisman, and threw it at it.
"Hehe, these won't work on me. I'm no ordinary ghost. Your cultivation isn't high enough to subdue me. Give up resisting, or you'll die an even more painful death."
