Chapter 310 Jinjiang (1)
Lu Xingxing had thought many times about what he should do if one day no one was around him to protect his life like Brother Yan did.
Because of this problem, he was so anxious that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He practiced it in his mind over and over again, calling it preparation. He felt that as long as he did this, he would be fully prepared and would not be embarrassed at the critical moment.
The young man who once feared nothing has now begun to respect life and the world.
But the situation before him was something Lu Xingxing could never have imagined.
In the darkness, everyone chose to believe Lu Xingxing at the most tense moment, praying in their hearts that the passing evil ghosts would ignore them and just walk past.
But the reality is often not what we wish. The more we fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
The evil ghosts walking in the darkness seemed to have sensed the breath of living people. After many evil ghosts in front had passed by, one of the ghosts actually stopped.
Although the other evil spirits didn't know the reason, they still stopped out of inertia.
The shadowy figures stood in the darkness, turning their heads in unison and looking towards where everyone was standing with cold gazes.
An Nanyuan could even imagine how malicious and greedy those evil ghosts would be after discovering them. They might tear them to pieces or even make them into wooden sculptures with living mouths and eyes...
The more he imagined it, the more horrified Annanyuan became.
Goosebumps formed all over his skin, and his muscles were as stiff as rocks. He couldn't even move to escape. Only his heart was beating violently, and the heat was surging in his chest, making Annan feel like he couldn't breathe.
Everyone followed Lu Xingxing's instructions and didn't speak or move. But in their nervousness, they all turned their eyes to Lu Xingxing, looking at him as they usually did when they sought help and advice from Yan Shixun.
Lu Xingxing noticed it.
But he did not have the confidence like Yan Shixun.
What's more, now he no longer has the power that Ye Li temporarily lent him, and his own strength has been exhausted long ago... There is no strength to support Lu Xingxing's self-confidence, and his heart is clenched tightly into a ball.
What's worse is that the evil spirits who had been standing quietly as if distinguishing them also began to move.
...but not moving forward.
Instead, it's approaching them.
Nantian also noticed this and subconsciously tightened the fabric in his hand. He still hadn't completely changed his thinking from an ordinary person to the perspective of a witch or exorcist. His first reaction was still to conceal their identities, keep things peaceful as much as possible, and avoid conflicts with ghosts.
But Lu Xingxing made a decision at that moment.
He formed seals with his hands, recited an incantation silently in his heart, and launched the attack before the evil spirits really got close to them.
"Get behind Nantian!"
Lu Xingxing shouted loudly and pushed Nantian towards the crowd, while he took a big step forward and stood in front of everyone.
He was muttering something and staring into the eyes of the evil spirits in front of him, showing his determination to kill them on the spot.
Before the evil spirits found them, hiding was still useful. But once the evil spirits discovered their existence, those guys who coveted human flesh and blood would pounce on them like hungry wolves, and no matter how many times they prayed, it would be useless.
The only best option left is to take the initiative and attack first!
When Lu Xingxing faced the evil spirit and used his body as a wall to protect all lives behind him, he seemed to have changed completely.
The person standing here is not the unreliable musician Lu Xingxing who always laughs and complains about everything.
But he is a real Taoist priest of Haiyun Temple.
He regards protecting life as his mission, and even death cannot shake his persistence.
He is young, playful, restless, and has not yet graduated.
But he has the most determined heart and knows where his path leads.
"There are three wonders in the sky: the sun, the moon, and the stars, which penetrate the sky and the earth and terrify the gods and ghosts..."①
A low and clear incantation was recited quickly from Lu Xingxing's mouth, but it sounded as if it was forced out from between his teeth with gritted teeth, as if every syllable was permeated with his own blood and pain.
The others were so nervous that they didn't notice this, but Nantian seemed to realize something and looked up at Lu Xingxing in surprise.
Talisman...but how could it be?
After inheriting the bloodline of the witch from Nanming Mountain, Nantian was well aware of the seriousness of the dominance of ghosts.
This means that all exorcists cannot seek help from the gods, and only those who have inherited the skills from their family still have a slight chance of getting help from their powerful ancestors in times of life and death.
But Lu Xingxing was not a family heir. He was only noticed by Taoist Song Yi and Taoist Li because of his good aptitude and became an ordinary disciple.
Even though he was a witch from the ancestors of Nan Tian, he did not dare to say that he could achieve this level when the ghosts were in power.
Because the spell...is starting to take effect.
Under Lu Xingxing's feet, a faint light flashed through the darkness, gradually outlining mysterious and ancient strokes, and the talisman was completed in one go around him.
When those evil spirits confirmed their identities as living people and pounced on them with malicious and greedy roars in their eyes, the talisman completely formed an airtight protective shield, protecting everyone inside and isolating them from the evil spirits that were surrounding them from all directions.
The hideous-looking evil spirits seemed to be blocked by an invisible force in mid-air. No matter how they tore at the air with their fangs and claws, trying to tear off that damn protective net and devour the fresh flesh and blood of living people, they failed again and again.
When everyone saw this, their hearts, which had been hanging high in the air, finally settled down and they felt hopeful again.
There were also rescue team members who looked at Lu Xingxing's slightly hunched back and nodded with satisfaction and admiration, thinking that this young Taoist priest who had loved to play and make trouble since he participated in the program had finally grown to the point where he could stand on his own.
Some people even secretly thought in their hearts that maybe in the future they could trust Lu Xingxing as they trusted Mr. Yan.
But only Lu Xingxing himself and Nantian knew that he was far from being as relaxed as he looked.
Lu Xingxing was originally in a state of severe loss of Yang Qi. The double negative effects of anemia caused by excessive blood loss and the invasion of ghost Qi into the meridians made Lu Xingxing's condition extremely bad. He should not even be able to stand.
Lying in Nantian's arms like he just did is what he should be like.
But now, Lu Xingxing had no time or energy to take care of himself. Instead, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to squeeze out every bit of strength in his meridians, maintaining the effect of the talisman regardless of the consequences to protect everyone.
He can only take care of the present.
Under the ghost way, all exorcists cannot use traditional methods of exorcism, and talismans are unlikely to be effective.
Lu Xingxing was able to use talismans because of Ye Li.
When Ye Li temporarily lent his power to Lu Xingxing, he saw that he was almost overwhelmed by the ghost energy, so he immediately took the power back. But Ye Li was a ghost after all, and even though he had never responded to anyone in the past, he had seen many exorcists who asked for divine power.
He knew very well that if all the divine power was drained from the exorcist's meridians, it would be a considerable burden on the exorcist, like suddenly returning from a high-pressure environment to a low-pressure environment.
In order to allow Lu Xingxing to adapt slowly, and also because Lu Xingxing was exhausted from excessive blood loss, Ye Li left a trace of strength for Lu Xingxing when he withdrew his strength, so that he could hold on until he returned to the Taoist priest of Haiyun Temple.
When that time comes, the Taoist priest of Haiyun Temple will exorcise the ghost energy for Lu Xingxing, which will not only ensure that there is no remaining ghost energy in Lu Xingxing's body, but also ensure Lu Xingxing's safety as much as possible.
After all, being able to reunite with the Taoist priest of Haiyun Temple means that Lu Xingxing has escaped from danger.
Ye Li was giving the right of choice to Lu Xingxing's elders. He knew that Lu Xingxing was not stable enough and his judgment might not be correct.
So he let the Taoist priest of Haiyun Temple decide on his own the timing to exorcise the evil spirit.
If it were for an ordinary person, Ye Li would not be so meticulous, and would not even take ten steps ahead to help Lu Xingxing consider all the possible problems that might be encountered in the future.
But Lu Xingxing is Yan Shixun’s nephew after all, and he calls him “Aunt Master” sweetly.
Ye Li was very satisfied, so naturally he would not be stingy in showing a little tenderness.
The basis of Lu Xingxing's talisman was that wisp of ghost energy that both protected and hurt him.
The pain from the ghost energy invading the meridians is like thousands of needles piercing the blood vessels at the same time. It is so painful that it is unbearable for ordinary people.
Lu Xingxing was sweating profusely from the pain, his muscles were trembling, and even his back was subconsciously bent like a shrimp.
But even so, the spell in his mouth still did not stop.
The evil ghost emerged from Baizhi Lake, carrying the deepest malice and resentment towards the human world.
After thousands of years of being treated like rats crossing the street, their patience has come to an end. The resentment that has been suppressed and driven away by the exorcists is finally taking revenge now.
Of course, the evil ghost will not miss this best opportunity for revenge.
They have the identity of "human" given by the ghost way, no matter what they do to living people, heaven and earth will consider it normal.
Even if all living people are killed, heaven and earth will only judge it as "killing ghosts" and will not track down the evil ghosts and punish them.
Although Lu Xingxing's talisman was effective, it could not withstand the continuous attacks of evil spirits.
Being stopped angered the evil spirit again.
They roared miserably, staring at Lu Xingxing with their inorganic turbid eyes, with such hatred that pus and blood almost flowed from their eyes. They wanted to grab Lu Xingxing from behind the protective shield and tear him to pieces. Their attacks became more and more violent and without any mercy.
Under such a fierce attack, Lu Xingxing could only continue to desperately squeeze out his own strength.
Bright red blood flowed silently from the corners of Lu Xingxing's mouth, staining his originally pale lips brightly.
But worse than that, the spell began to break.
Because the power was not replenished in time, the talisman could not be fully supported to display its power, so the protective shield began to be damaged.
Tiny cracks slowly spread through the air without anyone noticing.
However, the evil ghosts that had been attacking non-stop from all directions soon discovered this problem during the attack.
They grinned with malicious and hideous smiles, looking at the people who knew nothing about this, as if they had already seen themselves tearing the flesh and blood of living people and swallowing them.
The evil spirits began to gather towards the damaged areas of the protective shield, concentrating their strength to attack the weak spots. The originally tiny cracks were quickly torn larger and larger.
Finally—"Crash!"
It was like glass being broken, and the crisp sound of the shattering was like a heavy punch, hitting everyone's heart.
They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, with looks of surprise on their faces, and watched the evil ghost climb in through the broken hole, laughing as it approached everyone.
Sharp screams that came out subconsciously came one after another.
Nantian pushed away the people around him, held the fabric in one hand, pointed the other hand directly at the evil ghosts that rushed in first, muttered something, and used the ghost-controlling technique of Nanming Mountain.
Although Nantian, a witch who changed his career halfway through, can only be considered a half-baked witch, fortunately, he escaped unharmed and his ghost-controlling technique barely worked.
The evil ghosts were controlled and started killing each other, and then threw all the evil ghosts next to them out.
The last remaining evil ghost was also rudely lifted up by Nantian, who performed a simple exorcism spell on the spot, letting the evil ghost kill itself. He then used its hideous and rotten corpse to block the big hole, preventing the evil ghosts from rushing in following the smell.
But this is only a way to temporarily alleviate the crisis, and it is still only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
Nantian took a breath, and then hurriedly raised his voice to explain the situation to Lu Xingxing anxiously, saying that these evil spirits must be killed, otherwise if they kept blocking it, there would only be holes everywhere in the end. When it was like a sieve that couldn't be blocked even if you wanted to, it would be too late to do anything.
"It's too late. There's no time, and no power."
As his strength drained away, Lu Xingxing felt his eyes blurred, like the abstract snowflakes on an old TV, making it difficult for him to see clearly what was in front of him.
He couldn't even move his body and was just holding on on his last breath.
The blood dyed Lu Xingxing's teeth red, and he could clearly smell the strong smell of blood with every word he spoke. Even something as simple as speaking became a luxury for him at this moment.
The blood flowed down her chin and neck, staining her clothes and making Lu Xingxing look particularly pale, as lifeless as a piece of paper.
Lu Xingxing took a few deep breaths and made up his mind to go for it.
"Nantian, you take all of them away. I'll hold these rubbish away. You take everyone to the Shadow Puppet Museum. Didn't they say that the Taoist priest from Haiyun Temple is there? Go and ask them for help."
After he said this, Lu Xingxing became even calmer, his heart as still as water without a single ripple.
Nantian looked anxiously at the evil spirits that were increasingly surrounding him, and soon realized that the method Lu Xingxing mentioned was the most feasible and effective one at the moment.
But, there is just one serious problem.
"Xingxing, what about you?"
Nantian asked: "What are you going to do?"
Lu Xingxing curled the corners of his lips, and the muscles involved immediately caused him to feel so painful that his vision went black.
But he still stood firmly in the front of everyone, leaving only his back to everyone, so that they could not see how exhausted he was trying.
"You go first, I'll catch up right away."
Lu Xingxing swallowed a mouthful of blood foam with difficulty, and even smiled in his voice: "Don't worry, I am a Taoist priest from Haiyun Temple. My master is Taoist Song Yi, and my uncle is Yan Shixun. What are you afraid of?"
Seeing that Lu Xingxing was even in the mood to brag, Nantian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that this guy still didn't forget to talk about this at this time, but at the same time he felt relieved a little.
Nan Tian took a deep look at Lu Xingxing, gritted his teeth, and dragged the people around him and ran forward: "Let's go!"
Once you are targeted by an evil spirit, it is difficult to escape.
Even the mature Taoist priests in Haiyun Temple suffer casualties every year due to evil spirits and ghosts.
The best way at this time is to first send ordinary people who have no power to protect themselves to a safe place, and then turn back to meet the Taoist priests who are left behind.
While running, Nantian subconsciously looked back at Lu Xingxing, and prayed silently in his heart that Lu Xingxing must hold on and wait for him to come back!
Although everyone was unwilling to let Lu Xingxing face such a dangerous situation alone, they also knew that they could not help at all in exorcising evil spirits and killing ghosts. The only thing they could do was not to drag others down.
Now is not the time to argue.
They could only run faster and faster as hard as they could. No matter how painful or tired they were, they could not stop. They had to meet up with the Taoist priest at Haiyun Temple as quickly as possible.
Then let the Taoist priest come back to save Lu Xingxing.
But Lu Xingxing, who was missed by everyone, never looked back until they left. He was still holding on to the talisman and intercepting all the evil spirits that wanted to chase after him.
"How can I let you pass, you rubbish?"
Lu Xingxing opened his mouth full of blood, and laughed with mad cruelty, saying with disdain: "Haven't you seen what happened to the little monsters who wanted to eat Tang Monk's flesh? You targeted us, but you found the wrong person. Even if you die, just consider it your bad luck."
The evil ghost who initially rushed over to kill everyone found, after struggling, that the talisman was difficult to break for the time being.
So the evil ghost behind changed its target.
Hundreds of pairs of empty and lifeless eyes stared coldly at Lu Xingxing in the darkness, as if they were looking at a dead person.
Lu Xingxing was not afraid at all. Instead, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone's figures disappear from his sight.
His thigh muscles were shaking so violently that it was difficult for him to continue standing.
But Lu Xingxing seemed to feel nothing, there was only one thought left in his mind.
——Hold on a little longer, a little longer, let everyone run a little further, until they return to a safe place.
When the ghost energy in his meridians was exhausted, Lu Xingxing risked his life and gambled his soul.
Even though his temples were aching like needles, he could hear nothing but the "crackling" noise in his ears, and everything in front of his eyes was dark and he was completely blind.
But he was still smiling.
"Ghost...don't even think about overpowering a living person."
Lu Xingxing laughed wantonly: "Do you know who my uncle and aunt are?"
Even if he died here... Brother Yan would help him get revenge and bring his body back to Haiyun Temple.
Just like the coffins he had seen before, the Taoist priest returned to Haiyun Temple.
Fatigue quickly eroded every inch of nerves and muscles. No matter how strong Lu Xingxing's willpower was, his body had reached its limit.
His temperature quickly drained away along with his strength, and he was as cold as a corpse in a freezer.
But in the last moment before his consciousness fell into darkness, what flashed through Lu Xingxing's mind was the day many years ago when he won the music award and returned to Haiyun Temple to see the coffin parked in the atrium.
At that time, he hid behind the pillars and felt the deep shock and astonishment for the first time. He saw with his own eyes what the people of Haiyun Temple were insisting on.
In an empty corner, the young man bowed deeply toward the coffin.
The path you have not completed and the things you have not finished are my path.
He thought.
And now...
The cold mountain wind whistled and blew up Lu Xingxing's clothes, but he no longer felt cold, but instead felt a hint of warmth.
Tonight is just like the night I remember... just as clear and bright, with wind blowing.
Lu Xingxing sighed, his exhausted body falling backwards uncontrollably.
A light smile appeared on his lips.
Brother Yan...Uncle Master, if I don’t make it this time, you must take me home. Don’t leave me here all alone without anyone to talk to.
He suddenly regretted not studying with his master well before. He wondered if his master would cry when he heard the news of his death? Or would he scold him angrily, thinking that he had brought shame to Haiyun Temple?
Lu Xingxing really wanted to see it with his own eyes.
“Bang!”
…
“Bang!”
The peach wood sword was pulled out, and the wooden sculpture fell to the ground.
Taoist Ma gasped for breath and staggered back a few steps.
The peach wood sword in his hand was completely covered in dirty blood, which flowed down the sword into his palm and was so slippery that he could hardly hold it.
This battle that seems to have no end has made everyone exhausted.
By now, both Taoist Priest Ma and Taoist Priest Wang were on the verge of exhaustion, but they continued to mechanically swing their peach wood swords out of inertia to sweep away the wooden carvings with living mouths and eyes that were coveting their flesh and blood.
Bai Shuang was so frightened by the previous sneak attack that his face turned pale.
No one expected that the woodcarving would emerge from under the muddy wetland. It suddenly grabbed Bai Shuang's ankle and tried to drag Bai Shuang into the ground.
If it weren't for Master Wang's quick actions, Bai Shuang would have been impossible to save.
This incident also refreshed everyone's judgment of wood carvings with living mouths and eyes, and they truly witnessed the inhumane cruelty of those wood carvings.
There were even staff members of the program team who cautiously suggested that the two Taoist priests stop worrying about whether the wooden sculptures might be illusions or actually people, and just treat them all equally and kill them one by one.
It is better to kill one person by mistake than to let one go and threaten everyone's life.
But this proposal was sternly rejected by Master Ma.
"I know everyone is worried, but we are lives, and the people on the other side are lives too. How can you say such things?"
Taoist Priest Ma frowned and said sternly, "Killing others to save your own life is no different from being a demon. There are gods above us. Do you think you can escape the eyes of heaven and earth by doing such a thing?"
"Cause and effect will eventually have their place, and we cannot go from being a victim to being a perpetrator."
Seeing that Master Ma had such a firm attitude, the staff member who made the proposal stopped talking in dismay.
However, when he looked at Taoist Master Ma, he was more or less dissatisfied. He felt that the other party's remarks about him made him lose face in front of his colleagues.
Taoist Priest Tashima and Taoist Priest Wang looked at each other and saw each other's helplessness.
The reason why they were so exhausted was that while dealing with these wood carvings, they had to first distinguish whether they were really wood carvings or living beings disguised as wood carvings.
One thing that has been confirmed is that they and another group of people were separated into two spaces, and they thought each other were evil spirits.
What Guidao wants to see is the scene of them killing each other.
How could the Taoist priests fulfill the ghosts' wishes?
But this is definitely not a solution.
Taoist Priest Ma could clearly feel the loss of strength in his body. He calmly judged that he could only hold on for a few more hours at most.
Once he exceeded the limits of his body and strength, he felt powerless. Even if he squeezed out his strength like squeezing a sponge, it would be difficult for him to do anything.
Before then, they must find a way to survive.
"Since the ghost can disguise the person on the other side as a wooden sculpture for us to see, it at least proves one thing - the people in the two spaces are not completely isolated on both sides."
Taoist Wang frowned and thought hard: "What if we use this connection in reverse?"
Taoist Priest Ma was shocked: "You mean, we should take the initiative to exchange identities with the ghosts, follow their path, and go to the other side?"
"Or the people on the other side can come to our side. Anyway, I think neither of these two options is realistic, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult."
Taoist priest Wang took over the conversation and continued, "I think the other side must be in the same dilemma as us. They can't figure out whether they are human or ghost, and their actions are restricted. Isn't this what the ghosts take advantage of? Then as long as all of us are on the same side, at least we won't be so restricted."
Taoist Master Ma was surprised at first and thought that Taoist Master Wang's proposal was too bold, but after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense.
The Taoist priests of Haiyun Temple have been through many battles, which does not mean they have no power to deal with ghosts and monsters.
The biggest problem now is that we can’t tell whether the person opposite is a ghost that should be killed or a person that should be protected.
As long as this problem is solved and the Taoist priests can give full play to their full potential, the outcome will not necessarily be a win or lose.
Taoist Priest Ma thought for a moment and immediately made a decision: "Okay, come on."
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a solution to keep dragging it out like this. I don't know how long Fellow Daoist Yan will be with us. At least before he solves the problem of the ghost path, we must make sure that nothing else will take up his energy."
Haiyun Temple has always had only disciples who take the initiative to solve problems, and no one who is afraid of death.
If we fight hard, there may be a greater chance of survival.
After making the decision, Master Ma immediately joined forces with Master Wang.
The two men stood opposite each other, forming seals with their hands and muttering something, trying to borrow power from ghosts and gods in the four directions.
However, when they mentioned asking for help from the gods, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Today, I respectfully ask Fengdu Yan Shixun..."
Taoist Master Ma remembered what Taoist Master Song Yi had told him before, that as long as he replaced the god in the talisman who was asked to borrow power with Yan Shixun's real name, he would be able to successfully borrow the power. Even though he didn't believe it before, now he had no choice but to give it a try.
And when the talisman scattered in the air, the two were surprised to find that the heaven and earth actually responded to them!
The heaven and earth seemed to have an unexpected interest in the name Yan Shixun. As long as Yan Shixun was mentioned, even though the Great Dao was fighting with the Ghost Dao at this time, they still took the time to look here.
Even though the Great Dao is now suppressed by the Ghost Dao and can only give limited responses to the two Taoist priests, the talisman is really effective.
Between the two of them, air currents surged and collided, creating a breeze that lifted their Taoist robes.
The Tai Chi fish pattern slowly took shape in the hands of the two people, the cycle of life and death, and the interaction and fusion of forces.
Among the wood sculptures that were about to attack when the two men stopped, several suddenly stopped stiffly halfway.
The people who were so frightened that they dared not breathe also noticed the abnormality of the wooden sculptures. They looked in that direction in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
A wisp of smoke wafted out from the wood carving, carrying the smell of burnt wood.
Bai Shuang raised her nose and sniffed hard, and was surprised to find that the smell of wood did not contain the smell of blood that had almost numbed her. Instead, it was pure wood, as if she had walked into a forest.
Like burning wood.
And what happened next also answered Bai Shuang's doubts.
At first it was just a tiny flame that would be extinguished by a gust of wind.
Then, the flames spread rapidly, enveloping the entire wood sculpture, and burned fiercely with a "whoosh!", with tongues of flame shooting out several meters high.
The human-shaped shadow stood quietly in the flames without any struggle.
Many people exclaimed and covered their mouths with nausea.
This scene looked so much like a real person being burned to death in flames that even though they knew it was just a wooden sculpture, they still had their own associations in their minds.
Guidao had not expected the two Taoist priests to make such a judgment and was caught off guard. Even the other wood sculptures stopped and did not take any further action.
Their hollow eyes stared at the flames, as if startled by it.
The bright light of the dancing flames reflected on everyone's faces, but no one dared to make a sound.
For a moment, the only sound in the deserted village was the "crackling" sound of burning wood.
The charred wood quickly lost its support and fell to the ground. The crispy wood was smashed into black sawdust the moment it hit the ground.
Taoist Priest Ma only took the time to take a quick glance and then continued to concentrate on the formation in front of him.
The formation has gradually taken effect, and their vision, which was originally obscured by the existence of the ghost, has gradually returned to reality.
Taoist Priest Ma soon saw clearly that in those wood carvings that were not burned to ashes by the flames, there were vague outlines of human figures with flesh and blood, but in the ashes, there were no human bones or the like.
He immediately understood and smiled.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in my ears.
"What's this?"
"Some wooden sculptures with moving mouths and eyes are spontaneously combusting... Wait! Aren't these the ones we identified as living people before?"
"What's going on? Something seems to have happened over there!"
When he heard the voice, Taoist Wang couldn't help but get excited.
He recognized that these voices were very familiar; they were the voices of other Taoist priests in Haiyun Temple!
They succeeded!
Taoist Wang quickly calmed down his excitement and shouted to the other side: "Daoyou Ma and I are here, and the program staff are also here with me! The evil ghosts that deceived you before are us!"
After hearing this voice, the other side was obviously quiet for a moment.
Immediately, there was a commotion on the opposite side. All kinds of noises began to be heard, as if someone was running and gathering in one place, and there were also the miserable screams of evil spirits.
It seems that the methods of Master Ma and Master Wang not only have practical effects, but also help the other side to eliminate the authenticity and allow them to distinguish which are the real evil ghosts.
So the other side no longer restrained themselves, but started to clean out and kill those wood sculptures in a big way.
A familiar voice came from the other side: "Hold on a little longer! We have a lot of people here, we will help you expand the formation, all of you need to pass through the formation and come over here!"
Obviously, the other side quickly realized what was happening and immediately joined the two Taoist priests' team.
Help each other.
Taoist Priest Ma finally smiled and said yes.
The Taoist priests led by Taoist Priest Li who entered the deserted village were reinforcements from Haiyun Temple.
After Haiyun Temple realized the seriousness of the matter, it mobilized almost all of its elite forces to be sent to Baizhi Lake. Every Taoist priest had been famous for a long time, and even if the dignitaries from the outside world vied to invite them, they might not be able to be invited.
This force is the absolute backbone.
Because the ghosts wanted to take advantage of the chaos to invade the Great Dao, they chose Taoist Priest Li, who had once comprehended the heaven and earth and had glimpsed the Great Dao, making the situation of those Taoist priests much more difficult.
But compared with the two Taoist priests Ma and Wang who were almost exhausted but still had to protect everyone, it was much better.
With more Taoist priests joining in, the formation was quickly expanded.
The two spaces that were originally separated on both sides by the ghost path began to be connected with the wooden sculpture with living mouth and eyes as the connecting point.
The Taoist priest over there also jumped over immediately and checked the situation with concern.
Only at this point could Master Ma finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Evacuate the program crew first."
Taoist Priest Ma smiled and said, "Please lead the way and let the other side pick us up."
The Taoist nodded and said, "We still need you to hold on to the formation here for a while. We will evacuate everyone over there soon, and then you can come over."
Taoist Wang nodded without any objection. Not only was he not dissatisfied, but he was very appreciative of the Taoist priest and felt that he was able to distinguish what was most important.
When Bai Shuang heard the Taoist's words, she burst into tears of joy: "Are we finally saved?"
The Taoist priest walked towards her quickly, smiled and comforted her, "It will get better and better, believe us."
Everyone in the program crew began to evacuate from this side one by one. The Taoist priest's strong arms supported the frightened people and successfully passed through the formation. They were picked up by the Taoist priests who were waiting on the other side.
The rescue is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Before leaving, Bai Shuang turned around and asked Taoist Ma worriedly, "Then Taoist, what are you going to do?"
Taoist Priest Ma smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. You guys are already helping us by going there first. We can handle the rest ourselves."
Bai Shuang looked at the two Taoist priests worriedly, and not daring to waste any more time, was quickly sent to the other side by the Taoist priests.
When the Taoist saw that everyone had been evacuated, he nodded calmly to Taoist Ma and said, "Daoyou Ma is too badly injured. You go first. I will hold the formation here."
Master Ma glanced at Master Wang and nodded in tacit understanding. No one had any objection to this decision that was most beneficial to the situation.
He replied with a short "OK" and immediately prepared to hand over the formation he was struggling to hold up in his hands to the Taoist priest.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
The heaven and earth responded that Taoist Ma’s power was limited, and it was a miracle that they could hold on until now. In addition, the reason they were able to succeed was because they caught the ghosts off guard.
But now, the power given to them by heaven and earth was decreasing, but Guidao had already reacted and was responding by severing the links between the wood carvings.
The game was originally set up to make the two sides kill each other. Now that the game has been broken, there is no need for the wooden sculpture to exist anymore.
Guidao immediately and cruelly abandoned the wooden sculpture.
It was like throwing a chess piece that had lost its value into the fire and using it as firewood.
At this time, Guidao also realized that something was wrong with himself.
Its power is rapidly waning.
...Something happened to the old Fengdu that carried it.
Remove the firewood from under the cauldron.
Guidao was so angry that he almost wanted to rush into the old Fengdu and kill Yan Shixun who ruined his plan. However, reason forced him to make the most correct choice with hatred. He began to gather his strength, and brought all the strength that had originally spread to the entire southwest back to Baizhi Lake, trying his best to support the foundation.
Otherwise, the foundation will be shaken and the ghost way will no longer exist.
