"My Lord, how about we retreat?"
"Be afraid...be afraid of nothing! I am an official appointed by the imperial court, and I have the national destiny to protect me! Don't be afraid, we are a group of men, full of yang energy, and we are all officials. No ordinary demons can get close to us. Let's keep going forward. This may be a ghost wall. If you encounter a ghost wall, you must not turn back, otherwise you will shorten your life."
The county lieutenant's heart was pounding and he almost stuttered when he spoke, but he remembered the old man's legend.
The more afraid you are when you encounter ghosts, the faster you die.
He tried to calm himself down and encourage the yamen runners.
We can't let them run away. With these people around, at least there's someone to take the blame.
A group of yamen runners stood shoulder to shoulder, back to back, drew their swords, held torches, and slowly advanced.
Although the county lieutenant's method was clumsy, he actually succeeded.
In the shadows of the street corner, Xiaowan looked depressed as she watched them about to walk out of the illusion.
"Hey, it's okay. They still have something to suffer."
Li Mihai chuckled and blended into the wind again.
The yamen runners walked a short distance before they looked up and saw the Confucius Mansion not far away, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Excellency is wise."
The county lieutenant smiled and waved his hand: "These little ghosts and demons can only scare people. What kind of abilities can they have? I have seen a lot of them."
Suddenly, the smile on his face froze.
There were only five people in the group, including him, but there were six shadows on the wall illuminated by the torches.
Someone seemed to notice that the county lieutenant was not in a good state and asked in a low voice, "Sir?"
The county lieutenant came back to his senses and tried to control his expression: "It's okay."
But he couldn't control it even if he wanted to. Countless hands stretched out from the extra shadow.
Judging from the shadows, those hands are about to catch a few people!
run!
The county lieutenant turned around and rushed towards the Confucius Mansion without hesitation.
Mr. Kong is a hero in the matter. He saved Helue Town from danger today. He will certainly not stand idly by and allow the monster to harm him.
As for the others, whether they can survive depends on their luck.
A few muffled groans were heard from behind, and none of the four people were spared.
The county lieutenant was terrified, but fortunately he managed to rush into the Confucius Mansion smoothly.
In the courtyard, a man in a white robe and a tall hat was sitting with his back to him, and no one knew what he was doing.
A cold and gloomy aura came from behind him. The county lieutenant had no time to think clearly and was about to shout for help when the figure in white robe seemed to sense something and turned around.
The county lieutenant saw a pale face with a grin and tongue sticking out, a strange smile on the corners of the mouth, and four words written on the tall crown: Make money at first sight.
"Huh? You actually saw me? Well, I have a reward for you! Anyone who sees me will be rich!"
The man didn't move his mouth, but the voice came from the county lieutenant's heart.
The county lieutenant could no longer resist. He opened his mouth, but the sound seemed to be stuck in his throat and no sound came out. His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground.
At his deathbed, the county lieutenant faintly heard a sigh of satisfaction.
