Chapter 82 Incense Karma

082 Incense Karma

Ghost messenger from the underworld, when did the master cause this trouble?

Seeing that the black shadows that appeared seemed to be defeated, Xiang Jiannan looked at the iron chain that retracted a few inches and said to himself, "That was a close call."

If he had been hit, his throat would probably have been pierced with a big hole. Fortunately, the master acted in time.

The two chains were not all facing him, and in the stalemate, the master's power always had the upper hand.

In fact, he didn't move much. He just relied on the whisk in his hand to unilaterally suppress the ghost officials who attacked. The reason why he determined that they were ghost officials was mainly based on their temperament after they appeared.

It is very similar to the image in the movies and TV dramas I have seen before. The clothing and appearance are very vivid in every aspect.

"How dare you fight back! Catch him!"

At this moment, he had been forced to move by the silver threads in front of his eyes. A ghost with full hair and beard shouted, his voice filled with endless anger. He raised his hand and grabbed a dagger in the air. The dagger was emitting thick black smoke, and with a light cut, countless silver threads fell to the ground.

At the same time, the silver thread wrapped around the chain also retracted, as if feeling the pain.

"Yes, sir!"

After the silver thread was returned, the two officers who had been able to take back the iron chain immediately responded. This time they did not act rashly. Instead, they formed a siege from the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, with their weapons drawn, and surrounded Xiang Jiannan and his master in the middle.

Both of his feet were not touching the ground, he was just floating slowly under the watchful eyes of the two Taoists.

Are you trying to confuse us, the master and the apprentice? The master and Xiang Jiannan were each responsible for a direction, keeping a close eye on the ghosts' movements. Xiang Jiannan had tried to stand back to back with the master. He felt that this approach would make him full of confidence, but the master seemed to be very disdainful.

The old Taoist priest would gently move away as soon as his body was touched. As the figures of the ghost officials appeared faster and faster in his eyes, his thoughts became more and more confused along with the rising black smoke.

Things from the underworld are not easy to deal with. This idea has been deeply rooted in my mind since childhood and has nothing to do with the world I live in. Even though I am now in the Great Zhou Dynasty and I have seen it once before in the Chen family, after seeing the true appearance of these black shadows, the fear in my heart has increased instead of subsided.

I believe in my master, but I don’t really believe in myself.

"drink!"

After circling around Xiang Jiannan and Gao Yu'an for more than ten times, a ghost holding a judge's pen attacked again in the thick smoke. The tip of the pen seemed to be soaked in ink when it stabbed towards the master and disciple. After Gao Yu'an blocked it with his whisk, the pen was swung and many small black dots were scattered. Although the old Taoist priest dodged them all, the young Taoist priest standing next to him was not so lucky.

A few black spots splashed onto the back of his neck, and the burning little Taoist priest jumped up on the spot.

What is that? He suddenly felt a piercing pain in his neck. He stretched out his hand and rubbed it. Xiang Jiannan grimaced and kept sucking in cold air, as if something was burning from his neck all the way into his body. After rubbing it hard for a few times, the situation got better.

There was a sudden pain in my chest just now, but soon the pain in my neck went away.

"Um?"

As Xiang Jiannan became irritable for a moment and then quickly returned to normal, the ghost who thought he had succeeded couldn't help but look confused. Although the attack was mostly resolved, the little Taoist priest shouldn't have recovered so quickly. He didn't have time to think about it, and wanted to retreat his body while floating in the air.

The old Taoist priest's right hand was about to reach in front of him, but it was so slow that he couldn't move.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Just when the ghost realized that he couldn't retreat, several figures emerged from the black smoke one after another. They also saw that their companions were in trouble, and attacked Gao Yuan from multiple directions at the same time.

The two chains led the way, and the dagger followed closely behind and slashed at the old Taoist's right hand.

Bang, bang, bang! This time, no silver thread appeared. When the iron chain was about to touch him, Gao Yuan's right hand just caught it casually, and raised his left hand to hit it down, unexpectedly subduing a ghost and two iron chains at the same time. He seemed to tremble while holding the iron chain in front of his eyes, and the dagger that came at a high speed disappeared in the air in an instant. This series of operations was difficult for ordinary people to detect, but Xiang Jiannan saw it clearly from the side.

The master's movements were very quick. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to react in such a way.

"cut!"

He thought the crisis was temporarily resolved, but when the attack failed, the remaining ghost officials changed their tactics. They raised their hands and pointed at Gao Yuan. In an instant, several black air shot out rapidly. Before he could release the green air, Xiang Jiannan saw a burst of light in front of him. It was so dazzling that he had to cover his eyes with his arms. When everything returned to normal, he found that the ghost officials had gathered together.

Still on the original right hand side, their faces looked uglier than each other.

"Are you guys done yet?"

The white light dissipated, and he only grabbed the ghost messenger that was hit by the whisk. Gao Yuan spoke as if he was threatening him: "I am not without temper, old Taoist!"

The ghost officials were speechless for a long time. Finally, the one with full beard and hair spoke first and said, "Since we can't catch you today, well, there is still a long way to go. We will meet again some other day."

The meaning of the words was very clear. As long as Gao Yuan was willing to release the person, they would not bother him anymore.

“It should have been done long ago.”

Gao Yuan let go of the ghost messenger and hummed in agreement. He wanted to say a few more words but he didn't have time at all. He saw the ghost messengers began to become illusory after gathering together. They quickly disappeared into the darkness in front of them. Not long after they left, everything around them seemed to become very natural again.

"Where to go next?"

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Feeling the familiar atmosphere on the street, Xiang Jiannan always felt as if he had a dream. There was one thing that still needed to be solved. In this dark place, where should he and his master and apprentice go?

It didn’t seem like it took up much time. I just needed to find a place to have a good chat with my master.

"Back to the inn, of course."

"Through the window?"

"This time, let's knock on the door."

"Let me take a look at your injuries."

He still couldn't escape the fate of waking others up. After following his master back to the inn, Xiang Jiannan saw the young man who opened the door had a confused look on his face. The two of them quickly climbed up from the first floor, leaving him no chance to react.

It's normal to be confused. Who could have thought that two Taoists would encounter ghosts in the middle of the night.

"Nothing serious."

As the master insisted on looking at his neck, Xiang Jiannan could only hold it in and let him check it.

"It felt like something like burning charcoal was stuck to my neck. It was really painful at the time."

"This is a natural reaction to being burned by incense."

After checking, he raised his hand and patted a few times. When his disciple touched his neck and looked at him, Gao Yuan immediately gave a look that you would expect:

"Master didn't expect them to be like this. It's really like officials protecting each other. This is a long story."
